[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Dennis S:
If I understand everything correctly, it is crucial not to update to the latest security patch for the exploit to work. So my question is, since LG is constantly rubing the update in my face and I am afraid to accidentally start it, if it is possible to prevent the update from happening. (I did deactivate the automatic update in the dev options)
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] nchc:
As far as im aware the most up to date rom contains the August security patch. Therefore you are safe to update. Keep in mind root may not occur for months or at all. If/when root is achieved we can roll back to the last update without the Bluetooth exploit patch. Also a developer may find another method.

Only time will tell.

With your attitude we would still be in caves.

Do you even have a dual sim G6?

Why are you so negative?

XDA is full of unofficial means to unlock phones, why is the DSG6 any different?

Now i'm feeling cheated by LG. Bought a wireless charger to find out e 870ds doesn't have wireless charging. First no root and then this ****??
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Iriroro:
So, what's the deal? Can I update the phone normally without being worried that I cannot root the phone in the future? Is it possible to roll back?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] christopherrrg:
There won't be any 100% answer for you at this current moment.

Unfortunately LG has implemented what's called 'rollback protection' which I believe prevents older system images from being installed. I could also be wrong as I've had no reason to roll back on this device just yet.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] ShotByMeir:
Alright I have been reading and messing around a bit today. In theory it should be possible to atleast root the HD870DS using BlueBorne. This repo has a python script that should execute the exploit. Problem is: I can't get it to work. The least I would need is an connection to the phone, but my notebook and G6 don't appear willing to bond.

If any of you are running Linux and could try to execute the script with your phone that would be of great help and we can work further from there. Then at least we know it is worth the effort and there is an actual chance we might root this phone :)

Edit: I have seen enough proof it should work. Anyone willing to also look into this and has decent coding experience? I don't a lot of time, but it might be worthwhile to share info and try to get something going.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Ashish Dutt:
You should talk to thompatry..
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] pers3us:
Does this help?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] ShotByMeir:
Yes, thank you.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] pers3us:
I have decent programming experience, and if you tell me (roughly) what to do, I can help you with that. I haven't gone through karulis/pybluez code-base, so having little difficulty in actually doing anything in particular. Also, I don't understand how, as per the video shared in BlueBorne repo, were they able to achieve the interactive shell access. May be that is not required or may be I am going totally off topic.

This is my first attempt in trying to help the devs and have zero knowledge of internals of Android (I do know a bit about Linux). So, let me know if you need anything tested or written. Happy to help! :good:
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] ShotByMeir:
I can code as well (daily job and student), but generally don't really do this kind of low level stuff. What is done in the video is actually exactly what we need to achieve, or something like it (I think). If we could get a root shell or script up and running then I think we would have the hardest part sorted. Running the exploit from the git repo returns a dump of the phones memory I believe, but getting it to do something else..

Note: I'm not in it for the money, I just want get my phone rooted and I believe the best way to do this is if we could share our knowledge and try to make this work :)
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] pers3us:
Same here, I just want to get the root working. The problem is to achieve that exploit and I don't understand how to get to drop in shell.

I believe the exploit used in the video uses Broadcom WiFi Chipset's vulnerability. And, I being the complete idiot, don't even know which Chipset is used in LG G6 :confused:. Anyway, I will continue exploring.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Zayn1:
How much ... Donations .. is still need ???
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] thompatry:
Yep. It is a little more complicated than that but there progress being made.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] razzvg:
I ran this on my DS too (I updated in September to Software Version V10h-TWN-XX but I still have another update V10j-SEPT-22 available). I ran the Blueborn App which tells me this version is still vulnerable and also getting the same "Exploit done" output as stated above. So I assume unless you updated to V10j you are fine.

Hope this helps
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] kedster:
So how far or close are we to having a root method?

I don claim to have 'programing experience" but i know the basics, as well as lots of linux experience. Id love to help if possible
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] felipondrioxcl:
I think that is time to let the people work, and no ask for ETA's

I really hope that root unlock will achieved :)
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] fvknl:
$50 AUD from me if you get root.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] kedster:
Sorry, I wasnt thinking, but I wasnt exactly asking for eta either, I would like to know where we stand right now technically. Are we at the beginning looking up to a mountain trying to overcome the first climb or are we near the end just figureing out a last event
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] ShotByMeir:
We have Blueborne which has showed already it can give us access to the phone. Next thing is getting an exploit to actually give us root access. This is not the typical root, but actual linux root shell/access. From there anything is possible really.

Now Blueborne is promising but I don't have the complete specific technical knowledge to get it all to work. Getting into the phone is easy, but Blueborne doesn't give us anything else. We will probably need another exploit (like the Broadcom wifi) to actually give us root access, but I don't know for sure.

It is certainly a realistic mindset we can get root, but the sort of stuff we need and the exploits are almost completely undocumented which make it really hard to actually get something done, it's mostly just guessing and trial & error.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] tweedie:
Is there another thread to talk about blueborne? Not sure if this thread is appropriate, but here it goes. I've tried that python script and even increased the number of "packets" to read. It seems to return "something" back but in the case of LG6, as soon as it hits 107th packet, the lg6 brings up a dialog saying "bluetooth has stopped responding". I've never been able to get pass that 107 mark. I did read that someone managed to get to 7000ish (and also got the possible critical BNEP address) by repeating restarting phone+wifi+bluetooth, but I still could not get passed that 107th packet. So I've tried on a samsung tablet, but that causes "bluetooth has stopped responding" around about 47th packet.

Has anyone managed to get further then 107th packet for their lg g6?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Iriroro:

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] zedmarcus:
Ok I don't want to prolong the talk with this guy about whether root will or will not come to this version of the G6, but I don't understand his insistence on continuing to tell people that they are wasting their money.

This is a bounty thread. As such people are proposing to pay someone / a Dev IF root is achieved, and only IF it is verified. As such, at the moment none of these people are wasting their money, as they have not spent any of their money. No money has been transferred or moved or taken, and no one is out of pocket.

Sure, the guy could have expressed his opinion once that he doesn't think it will happen. But to keep continuously bashing people with the same thing day in and day out, it just stinks of trolling. I've seen him lambasting people in another thread as well for no reason. So the only thing I can recommend to all people genuinely interested in this thread / topic is to ignore this idiot.

To be clear, I don't have a G6 and have no vested interest in whether a root method is discovered or not. I hope one is found, both for the users who have this G6 variant, and for the fact that I believe phones are the property of you the owner and you should be able to do with it as you please (such as to change it as you please, or break it because you have no idea what the hell you are doing with it). You paid your money, the device should be yours to do with as you please.

Anyway... Good luck to you guys and I hope you get what you are trying to find.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] mickrick:
There are 3 variants of the LG G6. The European model comes off worst, with just 32GB ram, no wireless charging, single sim support and no Quad DAC. The US version which has wireless charging, but only 32gb storage, and no Quad DAC. The one this thread is specifically for, has a Quad DAC, dual sim support and 64gb onboard storage. It is officially for the Russian and Hong Kong markets.

You can find out about all the different models here.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] christopherrrg:
32gb ram phone?! Sign me up lol
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] tweedie:
Even if root is ever possible, wouldnt you still have a problem with locked boot loaders?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] mickrick:
Even if you aren't joking, 32gb is plenty if you just use it to install apps, and keep photos, music etc on a decent sized sd card. But if you intend using 2 sims, 64gb is the least it should be.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] christopherrrg:
Oh yeah totally agree but the RAM is 4gb I was poking a bit of fun at the mistake. Could you imagine 32gb RAM?! That'd be snappy af.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] mickrick:
Oh yeah lol. Thats the 2nd time this week I've made a "terminology faux pas". The first was on a linux forum, and you know how unforgiving the ponytail crowd are. And a 32gb ram phone would definitely be something special. But not as special as an iPhone lol. I've often wondered why the storage on a phone is referred to as "rom" when that means "read-only memory". Shouldn't both the system and user storage both be called ram?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] takeoff342:
But the ach so worst EU Model have one thing that your model dont have and never will get: Unlockable Bootloader and root :)......so what is a 64GB storage? I can do it with an micro SD Card.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] MultiUs3r:
Couldn't agree more. At this point we could use the extra exposure!
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] christopherrrg:
Yes and no.

Myself personally would prefer only root so I can use sixaxis controller to play my games and have a system wide ad blocker while being able to remove some bloat. That doesn't warrant a need for unlocked BL because I'm not planning on changing the ROM, a lot of people would prefer the BL unlocked so we can flash TWRP Recovery and custom ROMs so it all depends.

If BL gets unlocked you bet I'll attempt other custom ROMs but for now after such a long wait, I'd even be okay with JUST root.

Hoping we get it some day.

You cannot expect developers who do not have our phone to help, irrespective of how knowledgeable they are. Put it this way, would you be willing to trial an alpha unlock method on behalf of one of those developers you mentioned, if in all likelihood it would permanently brick your phone?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Sergykm:
Of course not and you're right. This phone isn't interesting for developers, so no chance to get root. I have different phones and if they're not interesting for developers than we don't get root, customs roms and other features. Smartphones from LG aren't popular devices, so we have bad support from developers.

True, its simply a numbers game and thats why samsung phones have long term developer support. Don't give up hope, but have realistic expectations. There's heaps we can do with adb commands, learn them and a locked G6 is tolerable.
