yeah so even at 10F it gives me an error. Then I noticed that when u chose the ota file in LGUP there are 3 possible file extensions. (.up .upc and .zip) when I tried renaming update.zip to .up the fota launcher actually launched ( with an error still ) but it's interesting. When the fota launcher appears I noticed there was another file created in the same folder as the ota.. called DataFile.up and 0 bytes. Maybe that other file in cache/fota (usd.dat) was useful after all? Maybe it uses both files to start the flashing process. This is complicated lol Im not even sure if Im making sense :) I also tried .upc and then the file created was DataFile.dat (still blank 0bytes) I believe.. not sure about the name this time but it was definitely a .dat. like the one in cache/fota.
[General Topics] Astr4y4L:
no your making perfect sense.

try to catch both and put them over there...
[General Topics] Chekm8Qc:
ok so I went back to rooted too pull both files, it's a little late to go back to 10F to retry the fota upgrade tonight hehe. I did try it while on the rooted firmware but no go. The fota launcher still creates the Datafile.up and overwrites mine.

Obviously for any of theses methods to work you have to follow instructions.

dude .. out of NOWHERE. Tried Kingoroot and it worked ?? wth ?! Im pretty sure I had tried it in the past. This was version 4.3.2.

It even survived a reboot, uninstalled a system app also.

Yesterday I flashed 10c laf partition,boot,recovery from my 10c kdz.. You think that might have influenced Kingoroot to work ?

Ok Does anyone out there happen to have an Lg Spree from Cricket?

I really need the partitions info like where boot , system, and such are located.

I'm working on a mod to try to turn Zone3 into Cricket Spree.

[MENTION=7383447]MotoJunkie01[/MENTION]

Did you ever get anything going on the Rebel?
[General Topics] MotoJunkie01:
No luck on the Rebel. I have a friend from over on my LG K3 thread who is testing a series of DirtyCow exploit scripts on the Rebel. I think he mentioned obtaining temp root, but of course either /aboot or /rct is causing issues in allowing the SU daemon to be written to /system. I'll keep you updated on the progress. Even better, if it is ok with you, I can have him contact you by PM. I have a feeling you could be a huge help in his efforts to gain permanent root on the LG Rebel LTE.

Also, I will ask on my other LG device threads whether anyone owns an LG Spree, and if so, to provide a partition index for the device.
[General Topics] Astr4y4L:
absolutely and as a quick nside note doesn't the rebel go into DownloadMode? and if so can't we use my mods to dump the system with-out root? and at that point i can quickly convert it to .img file mount it and make any changes we want... including hiding our SU.d in system/bin or system/xbin

and then flash it back with lgup and then gain temp-root and your SU.d is already there.... just a thought...

hardest parts i ran into was libsupol and and file permissions...

i'm downloading the kdz for the verizon G2 right now and going to try to replace the boot chain on the zone3 so we can get fastboot back. been working on the Zone3-to-K4 conversions and Gsm modding that. but still can't get Voice working... not sure how to force voice to use LTE or GSM...

all the stupid patch.zips on the net are for if you have twrp or philz or whatever and we can't even get Flashfire to work correctly....

kinda frustrated with that and im leaving it on backburner till i get another idea.

hopefully I'll be able to get that to work. before I flash it blindly (CORRUPT BOOT CHAIN AND YOU DON'T GET DLMODE EVER AGAIN)

i'm going to extract the boot etc. and have a look at the fstab located in ramdisk. may need to patch that...

but hey yea have your buddy contact me and we'll see if we can help get that rebel rooted
[General Topics] Astr4y4L:
@Motojunkie01

hey bro the boot chain from g2 won't work from Boot on up... because of the naming schemes and the fstab in fact it looks like a different processor so it has different init-files...

but later i'll try to get the aboot swapped and zero a laf to see if the crippled functions were actually in aboot.

hopefully the aboot binary will still boot the boot-partition being that I don't remember any hard-coded boot locations in the aboot.bin it's self...
[General Topics] MotoJunkie01:
That's amazing the work you've done on the G2 boot chain. Definitely promising for a number of these LG devices that have thus far been impenetrable to root exploit. I've had time to briefly check out your modded LG UP, and it's absolutely groundbreaking.

If you don't mind, I am putting your name in the hat to an XDA Moderator for Title of XDA Recognized Contributor. Your work definitely warrants the title.

Oh PS, on your question regarding Download Mode on the Rebel, it appears that TracFone has pulled their notoroius block on the feature. (Exactly like they done on the LG Optimus Zone 2). Read the threads on the Zone 2 and you will see exactly how developers got around that.
[General Topics] Astr4y4L:
OH WOW! Thanks Bro !

I will definitely read up on the tracfone-vs-download thing and check out the Zone2 thing.

I really want to get that Damn VoLTE thing working so that I can be done with the Frankin_Mod GSM thing...

It's pretty wild I can pretty much turn the Zone3 into K4 and from there the only hang-up is Voice still somehow doesn't want to work with the LTE it go's straight for the wcdma or whatever...

but i can fully make calls over LTE on ip phone apps such as talkatone and Hangouts dialer etc.

I'm beginning to think my remaining problems are with the phone or network app it's self

I'd like to replace it with the ASOP dialer and maybe other apps too... see if it's just hard-coded that way in the apps.

because I had a Cricket Spree and the Hardware Is in fact the very same so it's capable if not necessarily willing to make phone calls over LTE .

if nothing else a functioning free SiP account is a temporary workaround and the stock dialer does have functionality for ip (SiP) calls....
[General Topics] MotoJunkie01:
Bub for the life of me I don't know how in the hell I initially enabled GSM on the Zone 3, but I sure wish I had carefully dilineated my procedure. It must have been some anomaly or even an accidental occurrence I invoked due to the particular firmware build and root procedure I used. I've tried and tried and cannot replicate the mod. All I really know is that is mostly involved edits to build.prop and system applications and processes.

Anyway I've finally got some spare time off. I've been in Indiana climbing cell towers for two and a half months. I'm tired but psyched to finally delve back into some quality Androidology on XDA.

P.S. I will put your name in the hat for a Title of Recognized Contributor for you. I'll do it this evening.
[General Topics] Astr4y4L:
Thanks So Much !

Man It'll Sure Be Good To Have You Back For A Few Days,

if not for you I'd never thought about the original boot loop issues to be caused by conflicting Modem firmware, all the log-cats in the world don't make up for real world experience .

Bro I've found this crazy file called features.xml located @ /system/etc/features.xml

and I do believe that file too may play a roll i've searched it out and found mention of this file in other devices and i believe it sets how the os handles some network related things

I'm really tired of messing with it ... it's getting frustrating to be so close to 100% and be stuck a 95%.

Grrr...

Persistence Not Patience is what gets results in my experience but then again at what Cost.

test devices get expensive even when developing on so-called low budget devices. after someone kills two or three of them developing a root exploit they know what i mean ..
[General Topics] MotoJunkie01:
Yeah exactly, those bricks laying around in the Android graveyard sure add up in cash. Low budget or not, a brick is never good on the old billfold.

Hey does the K3 work with download mode? Got people asking for help but i don't own the device ...

I'd love to help with that but to get started I need a dump from the K3

and I don't even know if it go's to download mode...
[General Topics] MotoJunkie01:
Yes, I had referred a K3 user to you earlier that I thought you may be able to assist. Yes, Download Mode is fully functional on both the Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile variants of the K3. It's actually an older thread now. I'll get you a link for the thread so you can review the progress at your convenience. Mine is actually fully rooted, but is a lot like the Zone 3, in that only the very early 6.0.1 stock firmware builds are susceptible to common root exploits.

https://xdaforums.com/general/help/to-root-lg-k3-t3479758/page23
[General Topics] Astr4y4L:
Awesome I think we may be able to use the same methods as the zone3

if you'd like to assist you could be of great assistance if you can simply dump your system partition from the rooted K3 and link me to it...

I can quickly transform that into what we have on the Zone3.....

IE: LguP quick-flash for root....
[General Topics] MotoJunkie01:
Is /system all you need from my rooted K3?
[General Topics] Astr4y4L:
Yep

yep if you can do a dump from LgUp that would be best, but probably any old system dump method will suffice .

and also if possible can you convert to superSU and install that to system root before dumping?

if you can manage that without bootloops and then dump the system-rooted I can transform that into an LgUp mod flash-able system.img and the work on K3 root will be complete...

You'd be a Big help to Me and to all K3 users I'm trying to help.

ofcourse you get a full copy incase you ever brick him and need a quick way to restore...

if ya don't mind just load it up to google drive or the like and i'll grab it asap.

Thanks again Bro

and I still want to send you one of these Frankin_Mod fones soon as I get it all working right.
[General Topics] MotoJunkie01:
Yeah I'm actually running the stock 6.0.1 Marshmallow with the su daemon installed to /system, versus the typical systemless root on 6.0.1 and later ROMs. Because the bootloader is apparently locked, systemless root via patched boot image was not possible on the K3. I'm using Partition Backup & Restore by [MENTION=3562083]wanam[/MENTION] to dump /system as a raw .img file. It will be a rooted system image like you need. I'll get that to you ASAP.
[General Topics] Astr4y4L:
That'll be Kool I'll rework that into something for our K3 friends to test using LgUp to flash over the current system...

should be relatively simple...

setenforce 0

chown 0.0 /system/bin/.usr/.ku

[General Topics] MotoJunkie01:
Sorry mate not forgot about you at all. I've ran into Murphy's Law again on this K3.....if it can go wrong it will. I actually got a bootloop -soft brick - installing BusyBox to /system/xbin. I've been all day trying to iron this out. If I LG UP flash the latest firmware I'll lose the ability to root. I'm trying my best to preserve my /system partition.
[General Topics] Astr4y4L:
OH NO !!!

Man , I sure Wish you could have dumped it using LguP Dump option....

before the brick, but now you can probably still dump it using LguP

and then I can Mount that after converting it and delete the Busybox from linux and then we can flash it back to see if that resolves your Boot loops....

we gotta get you back Up on your K3 before I worry about everyone else....

So If you'll Dump the current system by LguP I'll Try to fix it Off-Device and we can then see if that helps your current condition...

Do you Know how to use the Dump option in lgup?

fist make a folder on desktop called K3-dump or whatever then choose Dump in Modded Lgup

it'll ask you where to dump and just choose the folder you created click ok and boom we're in buisness...

then upload that ANYWHERE and link me I'll Remove the Busybox binary from the /system/xbin

wrap it back up and shoot you a return link so you can flash it back with lgup...

worst case it doesn't boot and your left in the same state it is now ,

BEST CASE

Your back to before the busybox install...

I'd bet selinux or RTC caught the damn BB.bin in xbin and locked it up

if it's that we may be in luck...

Try this dump before trying to factory reset if you haven't already...

So , I'll Be standing by ...

also please add me to contacts so i can PM you i'm currently blocked somehow.

Thanks Bro
[General Topics] MotoJunkie01:
Yeah I'm familiar with LG UP dump option. I'll follow your directives and see if that'll work. Yeah I was simply installing BusyBox 1.27.2 to /system/xbin before I went to dump my system partition and on reboot. ..BOOTLOOP! Man talk about aggravated. Anyway I'll see if I can get system dumped with LG UP.
[General Topics] Astr4y4L:
Kool Brother !!! It has to be that binary write to xbin then... and I can remove that easily....

I'm fairly confident that if that doesn't fix it in it's self ..

a factory reset to clear everything (system,rtc,cached data) then flash the rooted busybox removed dump back probably will work for you.

God I hope it works for then we will have the K3 Quick root...

Hi,, you wanted a twrp recovery, here's one to test,, twrp from K7, kernel from K4 (k121)

I don't have my phone yet (next week) or your tools

Everything is more expensive in canada, phone is 120 + tx from carriers,

I got one for 65 (75),, 60US,,, do you still have 1/2 price thursday???

(the exchange is a killer, I may donate 15 instead of 10, 15 is almost 20C)

The twrp rec is more tha 1M bigger, but the partition is big enough

Of course you have to disable bin/install-recovery.sh, or it will be overwritten

I don't know if the wrong info in default.prop will be a problem (still K7),,

I would have used K4 info so that would still not be right for note 3

Fstab looks OK, there is no init.{hardware}.rc in the ramdisk
