"110 years of single-GPU computations" so if we made a program that could link multiple GPUs together, then we could easily do it. If we could pull 1,100 GPUs together, we could crack it in 36.5 days. All speculation of course.

I need a copy of the oldest KDZ available for the H932.

New information has come to light about how the COPY opcode in lafd works, but newer versions of lafd don't have the COPY opcode.

10c is the first update we got.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
Sorry guys, if 10c is the earliest KDZ that you have, it doesn't have the COPY opcode.

But all hope is not lost, although someone will have to be willing to take a fairly large risk.

The public key that lafd uses to decrypt the SIGN payload is the same as the H918. That means that you can flash an old V20 laf partition. Since the laf partition uses dm-verity, and is not directly signed with an RSA key like most parts of the firmware, it will boot.

But, I have to make this work on a V20 first -- but there is hope for the H932 :)

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] igotroot:
Yes that is correct it can be rooted but the 80% charge issue can only be overcome by putting the phone in download mode and letting it charge from there. I think that's a pain in the ass myself.

I most certainly would prefer the lgv30 plus over the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 by 4, however at this point in the game one would have to admit that both phones are great phones.

It's a cluster from what I can see.... the v30s audio specifications are what really attracts me. I think LG finally made a product that can go blow-for-blow with Samsung. But this bootloader and root issue is definitely a deal-breaker.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:

I am the opposite there. I prefer larger phones. I can easily one-hand a Nexus 6. Ideally, 6.5 inches for an 18:9 screen should be about perfect for my hands. Anything smaller than the V30 feels like a toy in my hands. :P

They also posted that fake crap about the Droid Turbo, which has to be bootloader unlocked for permanent root.

They also posted it about the Droid Turbo 2, which has NEVER had any kind of root, and needs bootloader unlock to root. If anyone could unlock the Droid Turbo 2 and root it, devs would have it posted here on XDA.

It's a blatant attempt to put adware/malware on your phone.

The days of ridiculously simple root, save for Pixel devices and a handful of international phones, are behind us. And I for one am happy about that.

To get back into the topic... thus far, there has been little to no progress on obtaining root for the T-Mobile variant of the LG V30 .

Correct? This sucks because the current promotion by T-Mobile would make getting two LG V30s a great deal. But if I can't root it, I won't go near it. And I won't pay $500+ for a phone upfront just for the possibility of root.

I'm available to help with testing, log cats, etc, but thus far, it doesn't seem like root is happening.

Anyone with an "unlocked" Bootloader. When the Oreo update comes in the next couple weeks, we need to check if nothings changed with fastboot.

It is correct that the attempts in this thread have been unsuccessful.

It is a very sophisticated approach, based on extensive studies of LAF and Download Mode. The levels of security and obstruction enforced by Qualcomm and LG and carriers these days is insane, so the "simpler" root hacks of the past are no longer enough.

If successful, the approach will work only on T-mobile models because they have unlockable bootloaders, which (despite their neutered fastboot) means less RSA security checking during boot.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] brossovitch:

I've never seen this before. What does that mean? Kernel source or entire Android source LG phones on our models?

That is the kernel source, and various other pieces of open source software that LG uses. It is not the complete source code, and it isn't the source to any of the firmware.

Wow... Okay, so I'm an LG noob, and my :silly:4 kids have my brain fried :silly:. I've always been a Samsung guy, then I had the OnePlus 5. Booting to fastboot was simple with those.

What am I doing wrong? I've searched and searched XDA... How does one go through the H932 bootloader unlock process? I must be missing something, because I've booted the phone both when holding Vol+ and also holding Vol- and the V30 booted as normal.. can't figure out the steps to unlock...

I swear I'm not normally this bad... :(
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Easiest way is to have the drivers and ADB installed. (You can use minimal ADB) , go to settings, tap build number 4 or 5 times I cant remember, hit back. Tap on devoloper options. Make sure you turn ON the "ENABLE OEM UNLOCK", that gives you permission to unlock the boot. Also make sure usb deugging is on.

After all that, use ADB (easier way is to use the cmd windows functiob")

Type ADB reboot bootloader. When bootloader comes up, type FASTBOOT OEM UNLOCK.

This wipes your device!!!

Hope I made it as easy as possible for you.

Has the bootloader ALWAYS been unlockable? I thought fastboot commands were removed from the Tmo version...
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
They left about 3 useful commands. Flashall (does nothing for us) OEM unlock and OEM lock is about all the useful ones we have, that I can remember.

It was definitely neutered!
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
It's always been unlockable, but been useless because almost all the fastboot flash commands were removed. So you couldn't do anything -- you couldn't flash root nor TWRP with fastboot. You need either to get the other.

T-mobile LG G6 was the same. Which is why it never got root in spite of having "unlockable" bootloader.

However, this

new exploit under speedy development

lets you flash root without fastboot, and you can then get TWRP without fastboot. It could even be flashed on any LG phone... BUT the ONLY reason bootloader unlock is necessary is the bootloader then tries to verify your configuration before it will boot. If it can't verify, you have a brick. Unlocked bootloader won't care. It's like an escape valve. So, in this case the "useless" T-Mobile bootloader unlock becomes very useful.

I know. I've rooted every phone since the Galaxy S4. In those days, I needed root so I could share my phone's WiFi to a laptop.

I still can't comprehend the "business" decisions of some smartphone companies. Unlock the device, allow root, and let developers have at it. It expands the userbase of the device, extends its shelf life, and "sells" people into a brand.

I loved my LG G4 but the boot issues were unbearable, so I went back to Samsung. Would love to go back to LG, but they're not making it easy on customers...
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheDannemand:
I believe it's all good old planned obsolescence: Manufacturers want us to replace phones every 1-2 years. Most of them (except Apple and Samsung) desperately NEED that replacement in order to be profitable. But phone hardware has reached a point where there is no need to replace that often, except the software becomes outdated after they stop updating it. Rooting helps trimming the bloat, and custom ROMs keep phones relevant longer. I imagine manufacturers loathe that.

Marketing MBAs are obsessed with this zero-sum game "If our customers win, we lose. But we can't let them (the customers) know that we're making them lose, or they won't buy our products. So we'll outsmart them. They'll never notice what we're doing." So they'll claim it's about security and malware, but it's really just good old planned obsolescence. Also, by booby trapping the hardware (eFuse, ARB etc) more people will brick their phones, which again drives more replacements.

The Marketing Morons are so busy trying to outsmart customers, they never realize that you need enough customers in the first place, in order for replacement cycles and obsolescence to matter.

Or hey, maybe they just really want to keep us safe :cyclops:
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
I agree with that there. LG hasn't had a profit in the mobile side for 11 quarters. You'd think they'd want as many units sold as possible. But they use the marketing strategy of trying to be secure for possible Enterprise use like Samsung does. Bad decision.

Htc at least supports dev work instead of blocking it (probably cause they know they aren't a contender so a dev community brings more sales over security)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheDannemand:
Yeah, I think it's definitely not a coincidence that it's smaller manufacturers (HTC, OnePlus etc) that cater to developers and modders: Not only do they need that differentiation (we are a niche market after all), but they are also more likely to still have engineers and other practical people in their management. Big companies OTOH, have vacuumed up MBAs out of business school for decades, so they tend to be saturated with the "we'll outsmart our customers" kind of people.

It's a great disappointment that LG didn't add the IMEI for the US998 V30+ to their bootloader unlock website. And they never even officially announced it for the US998 V30. Only for the European models. Something broke inside LG when they reorganized their mobile division.
