Good info Autoprime! Hopefully LG will enable fastboot commands after a future update like they did on the G4.

I'm out in Samsung land now with a S8+ preorder. Guess no more roms for me for a while with the S8 being locked down probably for good.

did order S8 cause front camera is really bad on LG G6 :( not worth the money with 70$ phone camera but not sure if S8 possible to root either
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] MicroMod777:
If u go S8, be prepared for no root or roms.

I might jump back to this after the S8+.

There is no guarantee we will get root, either. Since we don't have fastboot commands.

Very true! This year is going to be a real test for the future of android modding.

[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] AsuraDas:
True, even the pixel/Nexus line is not what it use to be. Security is a big trend and I don't see it getting any better if anything it will get worst.

It doesn't bother me too much except that that updates are 6+ months behind. I hope the pixel 2 comes to T-MOBILE.
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Yazuken1:
Is there anyway that this can be flashed without custom recovery? Maybe ADB? And if not, would it be possible to make a .KDZ equivalent of it? I believe the Rom could be flashed with LG flash tool if it was in .KDZ format. This would at least give us a way to have a rooted Rom until TWRP is available for G6

[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] sazechman:
Does this rooted stock have TWRP installed in it? Can we just flash with LGUP? Has DM-verify been removed? I have not ordered my G6 yet because I have to send my G5 back and I can't do that till I have root because of some custom work software I need. If I knew of a place that could "pull" a stock .tot or kdz file I would order the G6 right now but I only have a 2 week window. Any ideas? I am on the east coast (eastern Pennsylvania)
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] hendusoone:
As far as I can tell, there is currently no way to flash this. There has been at least one experimental build of TWRP floating around, but it's not flashable because even with an unlocked bootloader, the fastboot flash and boot commands fail.
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] gflexstump:

[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Honestly Annoying:
READ THE EDIT BELOW AS WELL

Hey autoprime, glad to see you here! I just had a thought, and although this may not work it is an idea.

If LG does add the G6 to the list of official unlocks (the dev site), they would have to release an update with a new aboot image containing the "fastboot flash" commands. Now, as long as the TOT files are handled the same way as they are on the G4, G5, and V20, IN THEORY a T-Mobile user with an unlocked bootloader could modify the "new aboot" TOT file in a hex editor to match their model number (I have done this myself on the G4 and the G5) and flash it to their device, thus having an unlocked bootloader AND an aboot partition containing full fastboot commands. After this is done the user could flash TWRP to their device, and from there manually flash back all of the T-Mobile G6 partitions (except recovery and aboot) using a root shell and the "dd" command. Boom! Root, unlocked bootloader, TWRP, and fully working aboot :D

If my memory serves correctly the bootloader unlock is not located in an image on the phone, it is actually located on the device board itself, and that is why I think this could work. If I am wrong, sorry! This is just an idea.

EDIT: Ah sh*t... immediately after posting this I remembered that the T-Mobile bootstack (at least for the G4 and G5) is different than all of the other variants, so I don't think this will work. Would you mind quickly explaining how the T-Mobile device varies from the others? I've seen some simple explanations but I'm kind of interested in the technical reasons why.

Thanks so much man! You da best ;)
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] nima0003:
Well we might have to wait and see if it works, that method sounds very promising because someone could modify the aboot and post it in a thread for everyone else to use. Also, do you know exactly how LG disabled the fastboot commands? And for those non TMobile users, how did LG remove bootloader mode?
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Honestly Annoying:
I did not say to modify aboot, if you did that it would break the sig check and you would hard brick. Modify the TOT, not aboot.

While compiling aboot, they removed the fastboot commands. I have the PDF on this located somewhere in my Google Drive, I'll look for it and post later.

It wasn't LG, it was the carriers. They simply removed the partitions from the phone or removed the files needed while compiling the OS.
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] nima0003:
So I'd theory, flashing a kdz or tot with the commands enabled should work?
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Fobos531:
Aren't TOTs being sig checked as well starting with the G6? I vaguely recall reading this somewhere on XDA. Wouldn't the method you're describing in post #30 not work then as well?
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Honestly Annoying:
I had this thought also, but tbh I have t done enough research on the TOT signature check to know for sure
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] autoprime:
the tmobile variants are a different hardware version than all the others... trying to use a non-tmo G6 bootstack would be as effective as trying to make a G5 bootstack work on a G6. I'd assume they do this specifically so that you can't swap on another G6s bootstack. The lack of fastboot commands on the tmobile variants are no mistake.
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Honestly Annoying:
Wow, that's interesting... too bad it works out like that :/ Thanks for the answer!
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] nima0003:
What variant do you think is most likely to be added to the bootloader unlock list?

EDIT: Nevermind, I figured out that it's the us997 model, but last year's bootloader unlockable LG g5 didn't even get lineage, so might as well try to get Root on the TMobile G6.
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] jeffsga88:
Yeah it didn't get LOS support (at least not yet) because LG took a year to release the bootloader unlock for that version of the G5. If LG stops making bad decisions and release the bootloader unlock shortly after the phone is released. Hopefully someone is able to figure out how to root the T-Mobile G6 as I highly doubt they'll ever release an update that includes fastboot commands as they never did so with the T-MOBILE G5.
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] PieceofSlice:
I thought I'd add some chit chat to these empty threads. Anyway, the T-Mobile G6 has the bootloader unlock, so are we waiting for LG to release something so we can obtain root or what?
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] chrisrj28:
Yes we are waiting for LG to add fastboot commands so that TWRP can be flashed
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] raver445:
so LG removed bootloader commands so we cant flash twrp?
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] chrisrj28:
Correct, bootloader can be unlocked but can't do anything beyond that yet
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] raver445:
can we use lg up to flash stock rooted roms?
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Josh McGrath:
I would not hold your breath on fastboot. They purposely removed them. The V10 had them until Android 6.0 update and after the update, no fastboot commands that we need. I have the V20 and can't do without root, so after they added sig verification, it'll probably be the last lg I own.
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] raver445:

Anyone try Oneclickroot? their site says the LG G6 H872 is supported. https://www.oneclickroot.com/lg/lg-g6-h872/
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] carhauler1969:
Without fastboot commands you still can't flash recovery so root does no good. You can already unlock the bootloader from developer options without one click root.
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Anarchist77:
Unfortunately i think this time around... as far as LG handsets are concerned(G6).... The International/EU variant will be the most likely contender to achieve official bootloader status WITH adb commands.

It's just unfortunately how a lot of mainstream OEMs are now going with they're current Handset + OS offerings.. I would think mainly due to a focus on locking down any security loopholes.. PLUS keeping unnecessary ["User Incompetence" Warranty Claims] to a minimum.

The best advice i would say at the moment is... if you are thinking on purchasing a G6... Go for the International variant (H870).

It is, by far, THE MOST likely handset(based on LGs track record), to gain Unlocked Bootloader status and with it,... everything then needed for Root, TWRP and Adb commands.. (Ie Custom RECOVERY, ROMS and MODS).

It all depends on how LG plays it out though....

Time will tell..
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Saythis:
They don't actually have root for the H872. That's just a generic page.

[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] drsn0w:
The option in developer options doesn't actually unlock the bootloader. It's like a lock. If it's off, you can't unlock it with fastboot oem unlock.
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] carhauler1969:
Exactly. But it's still useless without the fastboot commands that LG left out.

So apparently LG gives the option to unlock the bootloader to international versions. The store where I bought it had only the Korean version and I don't understand if the version I have is considered international?
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ashley david:

[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] qer0si:
That's the same version that I have, I'm also wondering this. Check in dev setting there's an option for OEM Unlock so I guess we have an unlocked bootloader?
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ashley david:
Yes I do have that option also that means we can unlock our device
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] carhauler1969:
We have that option on T-Mobile in the US as well, but without the fastboot commands to facilitate flashing a custom recovery an unlocked bootloader is, well, useless.
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] qer0si:
So this means we just gotta have faith LG will support us?
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ashley david:
So is this model h870ds international model or is it h870 ??
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] carhauler1969:
No idea as I have the US version H872 on T-Mobile.
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ashley david:
I guess the T-Mobile variant of the G6 will only get support
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] carhauler1969:
This may help answer your query:

https://www.techwalls.com/lg-g6-model-numbers-differences/

From what I can see the H870 + H870 S/K/V + H870 DS are all unbranded international model designations. The carrier branded model designations are all listed separately.

Um, LG purposely did not include fastboot commands in the bootloader on the G6 for a reason. I wouldn't get my hopes up.

What I'm wondering is if there's some way to trick out lg's air drive program to accept a rooted rom as an update to the existing thereby getting past the fastboot commands. Probably not, again just thinking out loud
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ken C:
I see no responses to my last question. I'm trying to think this through. When we update using LG Bridge (please correct me if I'm wrong, don't learn anything otherwise) I'm guessing that it is the whole update to the pc before actually updating the phone. Now y'all seem to be able to pull the rom and root it. Why can't we put a rooted version in place of the update from lg and install that rolled version instead of the downloaded one? I'm sure there's checks of some sort involved in the process. But I can't swear any that wouldn't work.
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] brossovitch:
That seems pretty logical. There's an application that opens the KDZ and will extract the partitions. However, usually (from my experience) LG System partitions are in more than one part so having a rooted system IMG and splitting it into these pieces would likely be extremely difficult or impossible.

Now, here's the thing with this stock rooted ROM....

I imagine it's the extracted System & Boot Partitions placed into a flashable ZIP container. Also inside the ZIP is going to be another file to flash SuperSU. Since SuperSU doesn't flash directly to the system (due to systemless root) the entire process of repacking a rooted system partition into a KDZ is null.

Here's another thing to think about... If flashing SuperSU modifies the Boot Partition (kernel) so that root can be accomplished why not use the modified Boot Partition inside the KDZ to flash the KDZ? Well, I believe that with a locked bootloader this modified Boot Partition would actually create a security issue and not allow the system to boot. I've actually once locked a bootloader with a modified kernel (Boot Partition) before and got a security warning and no system boot up. I believe that during the boot process the Bootloader checks for security risks like this and prevents a boot up for security reasons.

This is all just speculation off the top of my head and I could be wrong. But I have hopefully answered you question in some way.
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] johndc7:
To root don't you basically just have to put su into bin and xbin? You can always get the SuperSU app from play store later. Is it not possible to get su into the kdz and install the supersu app later? It shouldn't really matter too much how well it works since you can just flash twrp as soon as you have root. From twrp you can just wipe the whole thing out anyway. I don't really know too much about the whole kdz thing but maybe it would work.
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] brossovitch:

I am not sure if this has been mentioned before... I skimmed thru the thread and didn't see anything. When I had my G5 I was able to use LG UP to flash the TOT... Would it be possible to flash this image with root.. then use chainfires flash fire to flash SuperSU w/o a custom recovery... back in the day I bought an LG G3 Vigor which had no custom recovery... but I was able to circumvent that using flash fire so I was able to use xposed (i know it's not out for nougat) and adaway and anything I need to flash I would be able to use flash fire.. is that not possible with this rom???
