so if I do this, can I install another ROM? Can I get to remove all the bloatware?
[Sprint LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] kibertronic:
Hello guys. Is there any chance to rollback to zv4 from zv6?

Or maybe you know the way to add APN on zv6 to make 3g works?
[Sprint LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] SilverZero:
This is not a bootloader unlock, so even if other ROMs existed, no. Some apps may be freezable (see autoprime's comments for ADB commands).

Again, I'm pretty sure nothing past ZV4 will work, and you can't roll back to ZV4 from anything higher.

Guy our hope in you rooting G5 ... Whatever you've done is so appreciated.... Please continue get things got us ....thanks a lot

Now let me ask you somthing I'm trying to install apk in my Honda Civic .. problem is no developer menu as it ask for somthing called passcord and there is an app white list block and signature check for the those white listed app... Only thing I could get is run debug on browser and can get files to show in the browser but not all folder... Kernel is 3.1.10+ is 4.2.2.2... Can you think in anything we can root this thing? Also it has Android auto

I am having the same adb issues. Everything else worked fine up until I tried the adb root commands. Unable to find device, tried uninstalling + reinstalling adb, tried 2 different computers. Also put phone into dev and usb debug and mtp. No dice. Any ideas? Would love to get this working. I am on LS992 ZV3 and am more than willing to try the hotspot commands when I get to that point.

Thanks in advance. I'll have some btc coming your way if you can get this working. :good:

I think i will just update my g5 to latest update. Gps is horrible on zv3. I will probably just use my good g3 that is rooted untill i get another rootable phone and just keep the g5 as a back up.

Do you know if I buy a brand new G5 from sprint, will it come zv4 out of the box now?
[Sprint LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] SilverZero:
Almost definitely not. And even if it did, I don't know that anybody got any reliable results with this method anyway. It's a fine phone, but if you want root I'd look elsewhere. And if you're shopping at Sprint, the G6 is the same price, $15/mo for 24 months.
[Sprint LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] cityneversleepz:
thanks, I'm so tired of not having root since I got the g4. my kid just got the g5 today. It came in the mail to where she is at school and I had her check the software. She said it started updating immediately and by the time she looked it was zv9. My wife has it too and neither of them care about root. It is a nice phone. On a loyalty upgrade it's $4.36 monthly /24 months. The loyalty credits us back 10 dollars per month. It makes it almost too good to pass up.

Hi [MENTION=7479791]Honestly Annoying[/MENTION] I am running a LG Tribute HD model LGLS676 virgin mobile aka sprint and have been trying to root for months, we have a thread with 65 pages of attempts and work stuffs but no real success but recently i learned that the sim unlock from the LG G5 works for us as well as other stuff. We run V3 software stock with no fastboot access and no rollback options. DM verity affects us as well. I want to try this root method but im wondering could this possibly a. work for us and b. could we port this to work for us? I've built our software from source a long time ago but i didn't see a debug option for our kern

Everything works for me up to the point where you have to do adb disable-verity. ADB says that it only works for user debug builds. Does this mean the user debug build was somehow not installed when I tried to install it through this? Everything up to the part where the prompt comes up to say to go to step 2 proceeds well. Maybe it didn't install the user debug build when I factory reset the phone for step 2? Does anyone know what I should try doing?

[MENTION=7479791]Honestly Annoying[/MENTION] could it be possible for you to "spoof" the firmware info and change the variant (LS992ZV4) to other locked g5 (such as the h831 h860..) so we can try to flash it via uppercut and see how much it's broken ?

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] mapleleafs89:
Will this work on Canadian variant? How do we know what version of antirollback we have?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Honestly Annoying:
I am not sure how to check the antirollback version on on actual phone, you would need [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] for that.

Antirollback is basically exactly what it sounds like: It is part of each update that disallows users to rollback to previous versions of their software. This is built off of the first version of antirollback (v0) for the G5, so it will only work on phones with that version. You can test it out yourself, as it won't do any permanent damage, but just make sure you have a working TOT/KDZ to go back on.

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] andyroidking:
Sounds like you and the other 2 people (3 and 6 posts each respectively) did something either wrong during the process or after.

Like the OP said, userdebug has nothing to do with your issue. I have to ask though if you are using the official cable that came with the phone. Too many times I've seen this become an issue. Also try a different PC, this will give you a fresh install of the LG drivers and LGup.

I've held off because I took all the OTA's and I'm on Nogaut. I will more than likely try this weekend anyway. I've just been too busy to downgrade.

VS987
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hunikel:
I'm using the official cable, tried this many times on my PC, my laptop, on a VM, and on a friends Laptop.

My error could be the fact that I downgraded to MM before flashing this (It didn't work on Nougat)

And no, I did the exact things that were written on the first post, there are people who had the same problems as us but were lucky enough to be able to use LG UP to flash back, thus for us we got no luck.

Also tried someone's Build.prop and still nothing (It lags less with it), and yes I tried LG UP before and after Build.prop replacement (Still got my backup), and yes I also tried bridge and no It wouldn't work (I've tried too many things, worked on It for about 7 or 8 hours with no success)

I'm not blaming the OP or anything, I'm just searching for a way to get out of this, but after all my attempts, the only solution I see is that, either the OP stumbles upon a solution, or we get SuperSU and a custom Recovery.

Hi guys,

OK, I have managed to get LGUP to recognize the phone.

1) Load up regedit, and put in a "default" model: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LG Electronics\LGUP\Model

a) Add DLL_PATH String and choose one of the DLLs that you have installed

b) Add MODEL_NAME String and choose your model, ie, H850

2) Load up LGUP with UPPERCUT and with your phone plugged in, and it should detect as what you put in MODEL_NAME.

3) Disconnect the USB, and then reconnect. Wait about 30 seconds, and then it should show the real model name

4) Click on Start, and it should allow you to flash your phone.

Cheers,

Damien

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] tusker:
Hi guys,

Just to report back on my progress. I had an F700S, purchased in Korea, and applied the root method as described in this thread (it worked, and I had adb root, but as others have experienced, I lost WiFi, and storage capability). Somehow flashing the stock boot.img from the kdz caused the phone to be stuck on the LG logo, with the LED flashing blue. I was still able to boot into download mode, and experienced the Unknown model problem that others have faced too.

In my attempts to try and fix the Unknown model issue, I had changed the boot.prop to reflect the H850 model. Therefore LGUP refused to let me flash the F700S KDZ on to the phone, complaining the F700S != H850. I then downloaded the H850 KDZ, and flashed that using "UPGRADE" method, since the KDZ said that the "REFURBISH" option was not available. The flash went ahead, and worked all the way, and when it got to the reboot section, the phone came up and complained that my "module" was incompatible, and to insert the compatible module.

Fun and games, I didn't realise that the LG G5 modules were carrier locked, and now I have a phone that can't go into download mode, or any other mode without displaying the "module incompatible" message.

I have ordered a H850 compatible camera module (they stock it in Australia, so should arrive this week), and will test the H850 camera module with the newly flashed H850 KDZ, and see how that works out, so I am hoping for the best :)

Cheers,

Damien

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Honestly Annoying:
For all of those who have been following this, here is H850 fastboot on the LS992 :D

TO ANSWER A COUPLE QUESTION BEFORE THEY GET ASKED

1. NO. This is NOT an unlocked bootloader

2. NO. I cannot just run "fastboot oem unlock". It isn't coded into the aboot.

3. I needed to order the H850 bottom to get this to work, it will not boot without that.

4. Again, NO. This is not an unlocked bootloader. I cannot stress that enough. However this brings us closer to getting either a bootloader workaround or other exploit, hopefully [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] and others can help with that.

this is with the h850 bottom?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Honestly Annoying:
Yes. I also flashed the full H85010C KDZ and it works perfectly (minus cell signal). The H850 has a different partition table than the LS992 and others, so we can possibly find an exploit. I am lost with what to do next tbh so I really don't know where to go from here...

Guys.

QUIT FLASHING unless youre comfortable/willing to take the risk of screwing up your phone. It's obvious this is highly finicky and experimental. Just wait holy crap. Asking if xxxxx variant with an 850 bottom is magic or can I downgrade from 7.0 etc just clogs up the thread and adds nothing. It's ridiculous wading through everybody's garbage to find one decent post.

The g5 without root is not a stonage phone and you can handle it for another month.

If you actually took a moment to read the thread you'd have realized straight out that it wasn't a for sure thing.. It took a day or two for people to report back that there were problems and it so I chose to wait. If you wade through the crap a bit you'll see that there's actually development discussion going on as well.

It says right off the hop that it's only ADB ROOT and that SuperSU isn't functional yet. Also (like pretty much any root thread) to DO AT YOUR OWN RISK. It's not anyone's fault but yours that your phone is bricked.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Honestly Annoying:
This exactly.

I see all of your posts asking about different variants or needing help with bricking, I'm not blind. I'm not answering your questions/helping you because I was extremely clear on how to do this, and I stated that it is a userdebug build which most users know is very unstable. It is not my fault if you didn't follow the guide or bricked your phone. I provided working files, said exactly what they do, and how to use them.
