When you first enter to recovery you have to allow system modifications (not read only) and reboot. Then you will get the corrupt message at every boot up. Then you can do the rooting process (get into recovery and flash rce, supersu, rce).

Also keep in mind that if you have a security patch after 2017 february, this root method doesnt work.

Oh,this screen is of my firmware

Do I downgrade?which update? 10b,10c,10d?

Tnx alot great man.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
Whichever that is from before febr. 2017.

Thank you

Do you think that will be root k10 2017?
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
No, i think there is no TWRP yet, is there? Also this method is only necessary if you have lz4 compressed boot image (or any different from gzip) which i don't know about the 2017 model.

Nandroid Backup and Restore

Hello there,

since i can boot into TWRP using adb and fastboot, it should be possible to perform a nandroid backup and restore this backup right?

But somehow it is not working... I´m out of options right now. I need to "clone" my phone to a different one (same model of course, Lg k8) , but it is not working.

There are 2 different outcomes, depending on what i am restoring.

Restoring only data and/or system: Security error

Restoring all: I get stuck on the "this device is corrupt" - message.

Unbricking it works fine with Lg-Bridges "repair recovery" (i don´t know the exact name) tool. But when putting the phone into download mode and connecting it to the computer i get a message, which is sadly in korean i think ( picture ).

Can somebody help me? I don´t know what to do.

Thank you in advance

Moyst

Edit: Sometimes i get another screen (picture 2)
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
The data partition is encrypted and this "pass code" is different for each phone and twrp can not decrypt it unless you know the pass code (twrp asks for this code when it boots up however you probably will not know it... it's generated some creepy way...). So if you try to restore it to another phone it will not be able to decrypt it (unless you could decrypt in twrp which you can't...).

As about the system partition it's has a signature which is firmware dependent so if there are any differences in the firmwares of the two phones (even security patch date counts) the signature check will fail which leads to secure boot error. Anyways there is no reason to "clone" the system exept if you were rooted and changed a few things and you would need to root the other phone before restoring the changed system image.

Things you can try:

Make backup and restore to the same phone and see which images lead to any errors.

Put the exact same firmware on both phones.

You can try lg backup in options menu.

Is there any way to install xposed framework? I'd like to try, but I'm too afraid if it gets bootloop.

Edit: my device is LG K8 K350K
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
If your security patch date is earlier then 2017 febr then yes, root the phone first, then go back to twrp and intsall xposed.

Thank you man it really worked:D:D
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] oblyvision:
Glad It'll be working :D and yes, my patch is still 2016.

So, any special/additional steps flashing the framework zip? As we know even flashing temporary TWRP itself kinda unusual..
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
Just follow the steps given in the OP precisely. (It's been kinda messy since some links has been removed lately... sorry about that...)
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] oblyvision:
I've got my xposed installer zip. Do rce_univ.zip is necessary (flash rce_univ.zip, then flash xposed installer zip, then reflash rce_unit.zip again) during the process? I'm not sure whether xposed framework has issue with lz4 compression or not tho...
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
I`m not sure either. However flashing rce twice makes no harm. I mean flash rce then xposed then rce again has to be okay.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] oblyvision:
Thank you very much for your answer.

If you don't mind, my last question, what if I go into bootloop then how can I go to fastboot mode? As I want to flash the xposed uninstaller zip.

Press and hold down the volume down button mode doesn't work for me.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
There is no way to go to fastboot in case of bootloop or any other issue.

However you can use lg up to reflash firmware (if you chose the "update" option you will not lose any data). You can find the related threads here on xda (just make sure you find the exact kdz you already have on your phone). However if you could succesfully root there must be no problem flashing xposed but be careful with the mods they might brick so you better get ready to use lg up first.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] oblyvision:
That is the problem. I'm not sure with my xposed installer (I heard some devices went bootloop after flashing it, as they changed the dalvik runtime to ART, which the same case for this device). However, it'll be working just fine for deodexed ROM (again, not the case for this device). So I need to think twice before flashing this mod.

Also, I didn't found any forum/information about flashing xposed framework on this device (seriously, it's like one of the most undiscovered device on the market)
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
I have k350n it's totally the same as k350k and i had no problem flashing xposed but then i found no useful mods that works 100% on marshmallow so i got rid of xposed eventually...
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] oblyvision:

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

[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] oblyvision:
Xposed (the one that worked with you)
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
Choose the latest from here:

http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk23/arm/

and flash it through twrp. I don't think you need rce_univ.zip only install xposed. Then download the apk (3.1.1) from here:

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3034811

and install when you're booted into system.

Only do that if you're rooted already...
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] oblyvision:
Thank you so much!! Finally I was able to install xposed framework. At first I was using the build 87, and ended up with freezing screen after 10 seconds of reboot. Then I try the build 86 and it work flawlessly :D

Again thank you so much guys, without your guide I could never make this happen...

Root after 2017 february security patch

So, LG upgraded their security precoutions in february so we were unable to root the latest firmwares. Until now...:cool:

As you know after the february upgrades the MTK versions got softbricked after any attempt on tweaking the boot image leaving us no option to system root our device. It works as when you turn on your phone the preloader starts the little kernel which starts the boot process if it finds your boot image untouched (there is some signature and some other crc kind of check if your boot image is corrupted). Then the boot process is checking the system partition and if it finds any modifications your device will not boot up.

So we need to tweak the boot image to achieve root privileges which was impossible after the february 2017 firmwares. It means we have to tweak the little kernel to allow modified boot images to work. However any modifications on the little kernel leads to 99% hardbrick (i myself also hard bricked my phone - so i'm an expert motherboard changer on the K series now).

But, it got me thinking... what if we flash an "older" firmware whith little kernel which is still not root proof then we take the system of the new firmware... after a few softbrickes here is the real deal:

1. flash the latest firmware you want to use.

2. get into TWRP and allow system modifications - then reboot (you will get the device corrupt message but it will boot up)

3. get into TWRP make a backup of your "boot", "system" and "system image"

- optionally before doing so you can delete some system apps you never use in TWRPs (3.1.0, 3.1.1) file browser ("advanced" menu) so you can save up some space (https://xdaforums.com/lg-k10/themes/stock-google-apps-delete-root-t3518613) then in TWRP's "reboot" menu chose "power off" and make a hard reset (http://www.hardreset.info/devices/lg/lg-k8-4g-k350n/). Now make those backups! You will have a lot more freespace.

4. flash the last firmware which was rootable (any firmwares before february 2017).

5. get into TWRP, swipe to allow system modifications, reboot

6. get into TWRP restore those partitions listed above then in TWRP's "reboot" menu chose "power off" and make a hard reset (http://www.hardreset.info/devices/lg/lg-k8-4g-k350n/).

Now if your system boots up, you are good to go for a root just follow the rest of the guide in the OP.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] black_is_colour:
but sir, why don't just flash the older ones and do root like normal way? i flashed my phone *i got this little troublemaker update* to oct 2016 and root like the normal way

also, why moderator removed the link for k430dsy's twrp? it works for me..
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
It's just that some of us prefers using the latest possible firmware since there are some improvements (not only security related) between each update. So in order to use the latest firmware you need this method.

They removed the links because it's not allowed to use ppc/cpc links... (i just wanted to get back at least a part of the cost of my new motherboard...)

Any possibility to root the LG K8 (2017) - alo known as LG m200n ?

Entering bootloader mode doesn't work via "adb reboot bootloader" command, and I just cannot get the device to be recognized by my computer when started in fastboot mode. Also booting into fastboot mode works quite different.. I tried to find a solution for a longer time, but really nothing works. Anyone? thx!
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
The m200n has gzip compressed ramdisk so using this method is unnecessary. Supersu should easily root it - if you ever manage to get into TWRP. Most likely it would not boot up because of lg's security regulations (boot image verification). Anyways I guess you have some driver issues if the device is not recognized in fastboot. However until there is no twrp for your model there is no use of fastboot. But keep in mind that most likely it will not boot up after you flash supersu so you better prepair lg bridge or lg up first and test if you can reinstall firmware safely.

My advice for you is letting it go. You would waste too much time finding a solution to root but there is very little chance it would work. (Unless you tweak the aboot partition which could easily HARD brick your device - believe me it doesn't worth it.)
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dtrail1:
Thx for the explanation. Could be driver related that I'm unable to get it connected in fastboot mode, pretty sure with that. However, bootloader should be unlockable, right? So booting up an unsigned boot image should also work. I haven't had any look into it, but is there a kernel source available already?
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
Thats the point that you cannot flash an unsigned boot image since lgs boot verification. However if you mean booting up without flashing could work.

Idk about the kernel source nor the bootloader.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] pvineeth97:
Update the links in your first post. None of them work.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dtrail1:
Well, booting w/o flashing might be very complicated LOL. However, there might be a possibility using tweaked KEXEC (like we have on Moto RAZR), but needs at least all sources, etc. Also I'm pretty sure that my skills really aren't enough to get this done on my own. Furthermore there might be another way. Today a report has been published: According to Google's security research lab most Qualcomm chips (besides most Exynos ones) are more or less "easy" to hack because the Trustzone implementation (Trusted Execution Environments (TEE), Qualcomm running its own truslet "QSEE") is built upon non-safe code. Besides getting possible root access to the system it also makes it possible to crack the device encoding and also the DRM systems (Widevine I guess..).

Sadly I'm not really familiar with that stuff. But for someone skilled that might be a good point to start. The only question remaining: Is this device popular enough to get someone's attention doing that? Oh, and this lack of security belongs to MOST Qualcomm and Exynos devices (except Galaxy S8/S8 Plus!).

[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
It Works on firmwares which has security patch date before 2017. february. It seems you unlocked your bootloader succesfully since you can get into TWRP. However the TWRP has to be ported exactly to the firmware you are using. That can be a problem (you should try the twrp porter: https://xdaforums.com/lg-k10/development/mtk-portable-twrp-porter-t3536123 ). Then make sure you do the steps exactly as it's written (1. install rce_univ, 2: install supersu, 3: install rce_univ again - without any wipes.)
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] yolatored:
lg k350n bootloop

- install rce_univ.zip (it will recompress your ramdisk to gzip - so SuperSU can tweak it)

- when it's finished don't wipe or don't reboot! Go back (hit back button button) and install SuperSUxxx.zip

- go back again (without restart or wipe) and install rce.zip again (this will recompress your ramdisk to lz4)

- now you can reboot to system (without any wipe) - it will bootloop a few times, be patient!

Bootloop few times ?? For me it looks like its infinite.. What should i do? I cant get phone launching properly ..It shows "device is corrupt"and then shut down
