I would have to disagree with you on this. From my experience I've contacted the op (Honestly Annoying) and he has been nothing but forthcoming with his progress on this project. First you have to understand that this isn't a standard user build. Also it's up to you to ask questions before jumping down a rabbit hole, no matter what you read on a thread you should still ask questions (or at least read through the entire thread).

Hi,

Could someone post the link for the H850 bottom module? There's a lot of different module variations out there and i don't know which one would work for me. I am going to try and flash my H860 SEA and seems like having this module could save me a lot of trouble in the future.

So I took the time to read the thread and I was originally going to ask about the Canadian h831 variant on Nougat with antirollback 0

but now I'm just commenting to thank the devs who are working so hard for this. Clearly progress has been made , but it's not quite ready yet.

Have a good day.

Does this work with the Canadian Variant. The Rollback seems to be correct but no one has confirmed a successful root.

How about creating a separate thread for issues / general questions concerning this root method and simply delete "bad" questions in this one ?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Honestly Annoying:
You can't delete comments, even if you are the OP of the thread :/

And I don't really want to do that, as this is an extremely experimental way to root the phone and should only be used by experienced developers.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] tetrahedonism:
Even if there was a help thread, people wouldn't use it. I'm basing this off my time as a current mod of the G3 and G5 subreddits. People don't read, people don't listen and there's a whole lot of people who just want instant gratification and have no idea how development actually works.

As an H831 user, I dream of having an AOSP/Lineage-based ROM but **** takes time. Thanks for your work so far! Maybe PM a mod to clean the thread?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] tusker:
Hi,

I have finally received my H850 Camera Module, which allows me to bypass the "incompatible module" error, but the two KDZ files that I have attempted to use so far have resulted in bootloops :(

H85010d_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0614.kdz and H850K10d_00_TEL_AU_OP_0616.kdz are causing bootloops.

I have attempted to factory reset, but it still reboots consistently.

It sometimes boots into the android OS, and sometimes optimizes the APKs. I have once seen it get all the way to Finishing Boot... but never showing the desktop.

I am currently downloading H85010C_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0415.kdz to see whether that makes any difference!

It shows up in LGUP at certain points throughout the boot loop, so I am able to kick off another KDZ UPGRADE.

If I click on REFURBISH within LGUP, it shows the usual message that the KDZ does not support it. But at least it stops the boot looping, and stays within LAF mode.

I can use https://github.com/Lekensteyn/lglaf to run "ls" via LAF mode, but not much else works.

Any ideas ?

Hi all, I have a question regarding where the bootloader lives. After reading through the thread, it seems that a couple of people have successfully gotten KDZ files associated with the H850 model onto their H860 phones using different modules/bottoms and tricking LGUP by tweaking the Windows registry. Once that KDZ is flashed successfully, does that mean that the device is now bootloader unlockable using the H850 method? At that point, is it effectively an H850 with slightly different hardware? I suspect not, and that the bootloader is a lower level structure and persists despite any flashing, but I just wanted to check here for confirmation.

As always, thanks for all the hard work.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nalf3in:
Short answer, no. If you look back some comments, [MENTION=2900936]honnes[/MENTION]tly Annoying exactly did that on his sprint lg g5 and still can't unlock his bootloader the "normal" way.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] sugerdroid:
Thanks. [MENTION=7479791]Honestly Annoying[/MENTION], for your continuing tests, might I suggest flashing the 10i KDZ? I have the actual H850 hardware version, and I noticed a whole slew of issues with booting when I flashed the 10c KDZ, including sporadic incomplete boots and the camera not working at all. When I flashed the 10i, it booted perfectly and the camera worked fine. Perhaps the download itself is corrupted or maybe the hardware is newer and incompatible with the older firmware. Try this one out... it's worth a shot.

Here's the link to the KDZ download that worked for me in this thread: https://xdaforums.com/lg-g5/development/update-lg-g5-h850-kdzs-updates-t3486149
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jhselti:
OK so I'm newish when it comes to this but I have a few questions first I have a sprint lgls992 running 7.0 I am unaware the antirollback ver since the dialer code doesn't seem to work on my handset before or after factory reset. So I found a guide online that gives us root and allows us to turn off dm-verity and install supper su from market nothing about twrp yet so I downloaded all the files and get started.

First issue was apparently after the 7.0 update it messed up my storage anything copyed to the root of emulated/0 would not be seen by the computer bit if it was copyed to a folder it was seen just fine but had to be an pre existing folder fixed by doing factory reset

Second issue is when I give the command 'applypatch /system/bin/ADT/storage/emulated/0/dirtysanta' it tells me it could not open said location this is in terminal emulator on the device as well as in command window on Windows 10. Everything else works fine up intell this point going step by step and I'm lost as to what I am doing wrong. I will post a link of the guide if needed but I'm really confused and would love some help.

Also as a side note the g5 is being setup to use only on wifi as it has a bad ESN and no sim card installed I don't know if that matters at all.

---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 AM ----------

https://www.idroidspace.com/root-lg-g5/

OK I fixed it and got it to apply patch but when I went into recovery all it showed was Android dude with red triangle and underneath it showed no command so I pulled battery and manually went into recovery and wiped data and rebooted but got the device is corrupt so I'm guessing I messed it up or it just won't work on my phone going to start messing with it and see if I can get it working.

It seems this method can flash a kernel, so is it possible to flash a customized kernel?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nathamio:
The system is rebuilt on boot. We'd need to disable SELinux and DM-Verity first. As well as unlocking the bootloader.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nalf3in:
No offense, but you shouldn't mess with the kernel and that method if you didn't know the answer to that question.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] yosora:
Yes this is a kernel, but is not a normal kernel... Is a debug kernel. Is not that you can flash anything as a open bootloader

Honest, hit me up on discord when you can. We need to start looking at how to disable commercial CC mode. SuperSU can't work it's magic because TSF is still protecting things, but if you've got temp root we have the ability to write something that disables commercial mode according to TSF specification.

Looking forward to trying this when I get home. I'm definitely interested in rw access and build.prop edits, like [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] mentioned.

Anybody know if my changes would be overridden if I upgrade to Nougat? H831 on MM with anti-rollback 0. I think I'd rather have edits than an upgrade, if I'm forced to choose one or the other.

Please don't get discouraged, OP. You do really good work. I regret buying the G5 so whether this helps someone develop full root or I brick my phone and have to replace it, at the end of the day you've still improved my experience.

What does Honestly mean? What can we do with such a utility? Can anyone tell us?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] abol_fa:
If i'm not wrong:

Android has several partitions like recovery,boot,data and etc. This tool allows you to flash appropriate images to these partitions or pull a copy of this images from your device.

Again, if i'm not wrong.

You could say this tool opens doors to new possibilities.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Boxy52:
Yeah, that's how I understand it as well. If it's an "Open LG tool" as Honestly describes it, then I guess we can flash a custom recovery partition. Whether that means we can actually boot into TWRP/do anything with it/flash supersu is unknown.

It's possible that we could use the original exploit for this thread with ADB root, coupled with the new tool, and flash working SuperSU binaries.

I could also be completely wrong so please someone tell me to stfu if I am.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Honestly Annoying:
You have the right idea, but unless you have an unlocked bootloader it won't allow you to flash a custom recovery (i mean you CAN flash it, it'll just bootloop). It's an open/customizable LGUP tool with shell command options for the G4 and below.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Boxy52:
Ahh okay thanks for clearing that up!

Well at the very least hopefully this will open up some new avenues for people to try and find a work around method!

My main reason for wanting root is I just really hate how bad the battery life is in the newest updates and I just want root access to properly greenify system apps haha.

but how did you modify the /boot.img to allow the changes?

as I would like to port this technique to a few other devices just to disable dm varity?
