LG Firmware Extractor. It should be the same version as the version of Android your phone is currently running.

Leave a thanks on my posts if you like my work :D

Can I send you aboot of different device (LG Spirit, which has exactly the same chipset) for you to try and patch it?
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] SimoxTav:
I did! And I really hope you might find a solution for our poor device too :)

However I was reading the requirements for the K10 procedure and some doubts came to mind:

One of the requirements is to have a rooted device. While I don’t know if using the temporary root (through dirtyc0w) on K10 is enough for this procedure, as today the LG G4 can be only rooted on Lollipop (no dirtyc0w root available yet to have some sort of root on MM). Might this be a blocking point?

Thread Cleaned. Keep it to the discussion of the topic, slandering can be taken to those social media sites. Keep Development talk to just that....
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] D_Vovan_238:
Thanks :)

Thanks for great work!

I finally was able to install ChainFire SuperSU :D

After rooting it with kingoroot i downloaded SuperSU from PlayStore and successfully installed su binary :D

Now started to port TWRP recovery, it will take allot of time for me, i never ported recoveries and don't want to hard brick my device... :(

Also have some ideas for this device, so soon will make something ;)
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Professor Woland:
Did you removed kingroot or you have both kingroot and superSU?

Why would you port when you can build recovery with minimal device tree here you can use twrp minimal manifest so you don't need to download whole lineageos/omni sources
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] pvineeth97:
He meant he is a beginner in developing recoveries. Porting a recovery from other device is worst. I hard bricked my device porting TWRP from Moto G 2015 (similar phone). Its better to work from groundup. I already posted a device tree for this device. But it was for other firmware. Hope my work has started off some spark in everyone in unlocking, building recoveries and ROMS.

Device Tree I created for K10: https://github.com/PVineeth/android_device_lge_m216
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] pvineeth97:
No it is not meant for MS428.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] pvineeth97:
That's we did. Downgrade to Lollipop. Root it and unlocked bootloader.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] pvineeth97:
How did you replace Kingoroot with Supersu?
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] D_Vovan_238:
How I switched to SuperSU.

I flashed this KDZ.

Rooted it with KingoRoot.

Flashed patched aboot.img, but like I think it's not required. I flashed it by typing "dd if=/sdcard/aboot_patched.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7" command in Android Terminal Emulator App, I don't like to use PC.

Then I downloaded ChainFire SuperSU from GooglePlay.

On first application start it will ask to install su Binary, say Yes.

Wait about 5 minutes or until it fails…

If so, don't worry, be happy

Reboot…

Try again.

It must ask for Root Authorization!

Continue Rebooting and tying again and again, until you see su binary installed successfully!

Now you can dance, you Switched to SuperSU ;)

After that you can remove all KingoRoot sh**t and install SuperSU like System app in application options…

I'm still experimenting with this rom, so I'm keeping KingRoot and SuperSU apps, for reroot my device if I will reflash KDZ.

Hello, I've gathered two aboots (one for v10e and one for v10f firmware) for my phone (LG Spirit, it has the same chipset as LG K10). Can you see and check if any of the aboots can be patched?

v10e aboot

v10f aboot

Thanks in advance.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] pvineeth97:
First tell me, what's your phone firmware now currently? Is it rootable?
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fobos531:
Currently I have v20a(Marshmallow), but that doesn't matter since I can flash any v10x (Lolipop) firmware whenever I want.

Both v10e and v10f firmwares are rootable and are based on Lolipop. Here's another aboot for you to try, this time from v10a firmware: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wd89nc77zh3kyz1/aboot_5120.bin?dl=0

Please try all aboots and see if any of them can be safely patched. Thanks.

I have the same chipset than k10, but on different device, LG Spirit, like [MENTION=6069655]Fobos531[/MENTION].

[MENTION=7045959]pvineeth97[/MENTION] you said that patching signed aboot is almost imposible.

So the question is: How can I previously check if certain aboot is signed or not, in order to send you only the needed one, instead of bothering you with probably useless files?
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fobos531:
I guess you can use this tool: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897441

EDIT: I just used it to check v10f aboot signature and the aboot seems to be unsigned. I may be completely wrong though.

[MENTION=7045959]pvineeth97[/MENTION] are there any news?
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] pvineeth97:
Use IDA PRO Diassembler to check if your aboot is signed or not! I am kinda busy in publishing my project I will be back and send you the patched aboot.

I don't have change right now to prove if this really works.

Please tell me how to do this correctly and not brick my phone forever, correct me if I am wrong: only I have to push/flash this aboot.bin by fastboot or I have to merge/replace this aboot.bin patched in the kdz/tot and after flash this with LG UP or similar.

Thank you a lot sir. My G4 is currently on repair due bootlooping from a couple of days (the guy who hoped for it will be satisfied lol) but i will surely testing as soon as i'll get it back (since my company already ordered another phone as a replacement so the g4 will be a spare).

I can't find the thread. After bootloop i deleted the file. Do you have TWRP file that you know it's working? I was waiting soooo damn long for any way to unlock bootloader but as you know without TWRP or CWM like recovery i am still stuck using stock LG Rom. :)
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] pvineeth97:
I compiled a new TWRP. Check it out. It works but touch doesn't work due to kernel issue. You can boot into TWRP and use ADB alternatively to root, flash ZIP's etc.

If you are using the latest version of Android patch level .i.e after December 05, downgrade it to firmware which is below this date.

Verify unlocked bootloader, unable to flash TWRP

Hey, can u please let me know how to verify if bootloader unlocked. I followed ur steps to unlock bootloader but I could not flash TWRP which was posted here, when I tried to flash, it says 'Flash Failed'. All I got was just a rooted phone from this procedure.

And somewhere I came across that Qualcomm K10s cannot be fastbooted. Is it true?

Thank u.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] pvineeth97:
Yes there is no fastboot in the patched_aboot.img! I think you didn't properly follow the instructions.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] maddyrdm:

Thanks for ur prompt reply. I performed multiple times but went in vain. Is it because of Snapdragon 410? :(:crying:

Did you use twrp official app to flash it ?
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] pvineeth97:
What are you talking about? He said he failed to flash TWRP.

Anyways I helped him and he didn't root before so I told him to root with Kingoroot.

Then flash TWRP. It worked for him.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] mayankjet:
Anyway what i meant to say is that latest twrp app has a bug in it. It fails to flash the twrp. I also encountered the same problem so i used flashify to flash the twrp.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] pvineeth97:
No. It doesn't have any! I flashed it through Official TWRP app. It flashed successfully. I didn't have any problem.

Super-SU me is not a good app for removing Kingroot or KingoRoot. Last time it bricked my phone. I flashed SuperSu through TWRP. It worked well.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArcherEmiya:
Thanks for this advice. However, how am I possibly flash super su for a device that have no bootloader? I tried last time a kitkat version root it with kingroot, and used the rashr to flash a custom recovery so that I could remove the kingroot and use super su but it just brick the phone. I check also the custom recovery if its design for the phone and they say yes but it didn't work. What could be a possible reason of that?

I flashed the exact same ROM 2 times and had to change the whole pcb since the new 2017 hardware is irritating, It doesnt even let you downgrade to 5.1.1, it literally took me to change pcb even i was able to acess download mode (Recovery mode was freezed) and when it was stuck on Download it was a relief since, we can always flash a new kdz.. but when i did, it failed evertime on 9% showing a memory access error (0x2000)..

Took it to the Service centre, replaced the pcb for 5133 INR. (2 Times) :eek:

Generally unlocking bootloader is not for noobs.

Moreover if you think this device (LG K420DS or LG K420N) doesn't have anything, check my other guides on TWRP, LOS 14.1 or RR compiled by my friend or AEX.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] toblewan:
Yes, I know. And also, I have a problem while installing the LOS 14.1. And I think I wrote you an email because I needed help while LOS was stuck at boot after installing with TWRP.

:confused: Wondering what was the actual problem. I put the phone to 100% charged and the installation of the LOS was fine. Maybe the architecture messed up everything (BUT IT SHOULDN'T MESS UP, RIGHT?!) Anyway, I got back to the stock 5.1.1 using LGUP and now I'm installing RR and I'll see what will happen. And I didn't said noobs, I said newbies. Newbies is a guy that is new to the community but knows what he's doing. A noob is a guy that doesn't know anything and that he doesn't want to care about nothing and wants to brick or just make his phone unusable (no offense to everyone) I just want to inform to everybody know what they need to do, that's all.
