Yes bootloader is unlocked now. I do have the device corruption message at every boot.

I just tried running twrp from adb and I get an error, I guess I'll try a different twrp

Yourself, have you rooted ?
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
Sure, i have mate...:cool: so you try running twrp from fastboot, not adb i guess... whats the error message? Is it like its sending the twrp on the phone okay but phone doesnt accept it? All qualcomms do that... they say.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] leopard_fist:
I'm not too good with this stuff honestly - so my bootloader is unlocked

I enter adb by typing this in a command window: "adb reboot bootloader"

the phone goes into adb with a little square that says "to exit fastboot, press power for 10 seconds"

anyway then I enter "fastboot boot twrp3.img"

I get the following error in the command window:

C:\adb>fastboot boot twrp3.img

downloading 'boot.img'...

OKAY [ 0.473s]

booting...

FAILED (remote: unknown command)

finished. total time: 0.480s

C:\adb>

So I'm stuck trying to get to twrp, any thoughts? thanks!
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
Unfortunately qualcomm devices like ms428 are refusing to boot into any twrp or boot into any other bootable stuff from fastboot...

Somehow its forbidden from the firmware. You should take a look at other threads here on xda if any other devices had similar issues and how they solved it. If they ever solved it...

[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] iqoq:
Sorry i don't get it, how to do that?

Edit:

Should I do unlock bootloader first before try short method?

Édit 2:

D4mn!!!

It's all my fault! I don't read the instructions Carefully!!

Know my LG K10 DSY rooted!!!!

Thanks bro!!

Anyway, should I do untick the mount namespace separation on superSu?
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
Well, i guess you should leave it ticked. At least i have it ticked (but frankly, i dont know what the heck it means...)
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] iqoq:
Ok No problem, so, if I want to flash anything I should boot into twrp via fastboot?

Could I flash twrp permanently?
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
No! If you flash it permanently, your phone will not boot up but it shuts down right after the device corrupt message... i think its because there is some signature at the end of the image (look at "bump" on the other LGs - like g3, g4,...) which is checked during boot. I took a look into it but nowdays its quite complex (the signature) and we are just not there yet...

[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
This is out of my league man... i don`t know... probably you have to tweak the boot image... but idk any farther.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] iqoq:
Anyway, it is safe if I install lucky patcher or titanium back up?

I have tried to install both application but when I do reboot my K10, its always "setting has stopped"
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
Idk about lucky patcher but titanium must be okay. "setting stopped" message might be firmware depandant. You should chose another firmware for your model and flash it in lg up.

[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] sjr1616:
I know this is probably the wrong place to ask, but after going through all the guides and posts in this forum I still can't find a clear answer (maybe I'm just blind). I'm just trying to find out if there's any way to root my K10? I have an LG-K428 (T-Mobile) w/ qualcomm on Android 6.0.1 (software version K42810f). If it's not possible, a simple NO will make me happy knowing I can stop searching around. I've rooted many phones before and this is the only one that has given me any trouble. Any help is appreciated!!
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
Well... NO!

There you go.

Unfortunately there is no way to flash or boot into anything via fastboot so no way to get into TWRP or unlock bootloader on qualcomm devices. This makes us unable to intall supersu or flash a tweaked boot image which would allow us to root. LG`s security measures also makes it quite hard to root with any one click stuff on marshmallow.

So frankly, no way to root. Maybe if you flash lollipop and try kingroot. But not on marshmallow.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] sjr1616:
Thank you. I figured this was the answer, but seeing so many different guides & workarounds for other models gave me hope that maybe I just missed the instructions for my model. Now that I know there's no hope for my device/marshmallow, I can stop looking lol. Appreciate it!
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] miguelzkp55:
Doesn't reboot!

PLEASE, HELP!

What's happening is when I do the command ''fastboot oem unlock'' and I click two times to accept, the phone just freezes in the screen:

"Select Root Mode:

It worked for me but after a few days i just kept getting bootloops . After flashing back to stock, super su stopped working altogether
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
Its not a surprise that supersu stopped working after flashing back to stock... of course it does. You have to root again!

If you really belive that those boot loops are related to root and not some other root app you used than you should try to flash another firmware with lg up... each firmware behaves differently when it gets rooted.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Laitas:
Ether way i got it sorted and working root. Now just have to wait for a way to get xposed to work and actually flash the twrp.

[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
You don't need to unlock the boot loader all the time. Once was enough.

When you're in fastboot type "fastboot getvar all" and see what it sais for the "unlocked" variable (yes or no). Then just type fastboot boot twrp.img

Are you sure you are using twrp for you device?

Attach screenshots from your cmd screen! Also let me know what twrp you're trying to use and whats you're phones firmware version (and date of firmware)!

Did you do all the required settings in developer options?
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] miguelzkp55:

[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] waleeds1:
It depends on the phone and the method of rooting. So the device u rooted was using a different method as rooting methods differ from phone to phone or make to make

[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] waleeds1:

I downloaded CPU-Z and apparently my phone uses a Qualcomm GPU. I take it this means I'm currently out of luck with the TWRP step of this thread's rooting process?

From CPU-Z:

Bootloader: unknown

Build ID: MMB29M

Kernel version: 3.10.49-g051379e (1626617965)

Model: VS500 (m1v_vzw)

Board: msm8909

The interesting thing is that, as mentioned before, when I got this phone developer options was already enabled. It seems this phone may already have enough things unlocked to get around the Qualcomm issue. I just need someone to point me in the right direction. ;)
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
Can you boot into fastboot? In that case type "fastboot getvar all" and see in the bootloader is locked or unlocked... also idk if there is a working twrp for your device (i dont think that there are any working twrps for qualcomm)
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Startropic1:
When I try to boot into fastboot, the phone does reboot, but it goes back to the home screen as normal. When I use the fastboot command it doesn't show any devices. (I think I need to install the SDK stuff.) Do I really have to do the TWRP step to root the phone?
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
If the adb connection works it means you have a stable connection, you dont need to install sdk. Unfortunately fastboot is hidden in your device. Even if you could get into fastboot no flashing or booting commands would work. So there is nothing to do. Maybe kingroot will work after a few month... i guess its not working yet... so, you have to wait..

ads?

hello there, i follow all your guide and it work, my lg k8 already rooted. and i thank you for that.

but, i wonder why, after 1 week i root my device, i got ads even on home screen. i reinstal and root my phone again, and the result same. after 1 week the ads come back again. please i need help. i hate ads.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] houcine123:
please tell me what lg k8 you have? full name
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
Ads does not come from the root.

there are two thing you install during the root process:

1: rce_univ - it doesn't install any apk's on your phone so there is no chance that anything could run in the background that would provide any ads. It only changes the ramdisk compression (if you downloaded it from the link in my thread).

2: SuperSU - it does install an apk but if you use the official version (which is linked in the OP) that is totally ad free.

Maybe your firmware contains some advertising apk triggered by root or you always install an apk that does it. (But i never heard about such ads that are coming up on your homescreen - k8 doesn't even support floating apps - i can't really imagine how any ads would pop up on home screen)

You should check the running apps when any ads comes up.

Maybe attach a screenshot, let's see what we are dealing with.

hi and thanks for fast reply.

i confused myself, i never get ads on home screen before too

i dont know if there any apk that contain ads like that on my device.

its been 2 week since i root my device. 1 week after that, i got ads like this on my home screen, and i thought its a virus, so i reinstal my phone using lg bride. when all done, i didnt see any ads, but now, these annoying ads come back.

and sorry i couldn't attract picture. i dont know how. i am a noob ^^;

but ads pop up when you idle on home screen or when you select app while in home screen.

thank you
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
All i can think of is the home screen apk it self. Take a look at the home screen options see if there are more then two home screens. On of them is the normal home the other one has to be easy home. No other home screens supposed to be there if you didn't install any.

You should try easy home, see if the ads comes up. If they don't then you Stock home screen is corrupted.

Reinstall with lg bridge and also make a hard reset. Or use lg up in refurbish mode.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] avalicia:

You know that your device is Qualcomm yet you come to MTK and complaint about it. Moreover, I removed the accessing fastboot method by nuking download mode long back because it is risky and you will brick your phone. If you want to unlock your bootloader, I already made a guide for it specifically for Qualcomm. Check that out first. If you have root, flash back your download mode (laf) partition.
