Highly tempting, indeed! Correct me, if I'm wrong, but isn't an official TWRP recovery for the V40 still in development?

I did it on V405UA, you can also on V35 and G7

This is a PIE with ROOT + Working Fastboot and TWRP

and with a bonus I made a clean firmware, where there is no garbage from the mrint or verizon​
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sabre8073:
What's the cost for your time for root etc?
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] Android#:
Why does it have to be remote unlocking? This is effectively giving you control of not just my phone but also my computer. How does one know that you will not take advantage, sorry but your thanks meter is kinda low to trust you like other very respectable developers here on XDA.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
Well it has to be remote unless you have a Jtag/Octobox on hand so you can do it yourself and I'm bootloader unlocked i watched the entire process from my end, sure i have no idea if they ran something on their end...but my bank accounts and other accounts are just fine...
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] Einsteindks:
Just still too early to jump on the bandwagon for me. I'm not finding any official recovery anywhere from TWRP. I'm not desperate for root. There's a natural backup feature, external SD card, so I'm all happy if root never came.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
Well we do have TWRP but the Stock roms won't work when it's flashed...
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] ps3hacker3:
The requirement is the octoplus box being mentioned through this thread. It can be done yourself with the box but you obviously have to buy it and get it shipped to you.

Hi I am interested. Where is telegram link?
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] nyttliv7:
Tempted!

Being an old rootoholic, I've kind of convinced myself it's not really necessary anymore, especially on a phone like this. But after digging into the threads about it, I've reconsidered...

So, after some resistance, I'm tempted to unlock bootloader and root :)

Just a few questions:

Slot A and B? Is it possible/complicated to activate "the other" slot (dual boot), or is it just there for backup and update?

Is com.lge.rctprovider and other spy and spam apps still there?

How exactly is the remote screen thing done? Do I need to install something, and how do you pay the fee?

Will it be possible to remap the assistant button?

If I'm not wrong, Qualcomm just block specific bands on carrier's requests, meaning that all bands exist in the chip. So I wonder, can this be unlocked?

How is the signal/reception on Sprint? Will all necessary bands still be there and fully functional?

Thanks!

Hey i have octoplus jatg and the engineering bootloader abl_a abl_b but in order to flash it to phone you need the .srf file how to i convert it or do you have a link where we can download it?
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] Android4Lif:
Don't Bother

I downloaded all these files from this guy. And now he says for the last 2 days " I need sleep try me in 11 hrs or 8 hrs" Not worth my time, think it is a scam, not going to try now. I do have an srf. file he had me download, don't know if that is the one you might need?:rolleyes:
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] awireless:

[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] awireless:
Yeah go to your google drive through google and upload the files to a folder and then right click and press get shareable link then make it so its anybody can download with link then paste link here. Thank you!

If it's Vlad, trust me, it's not a scam. He did mine a few days ago after some waiting. He's got a regular job, plus other customers. Just be patient, he'll take care of ya. It'll be worth the wait.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] Android4Lif:
It was and he did the phone for me this morning. Seems weird though the software version comes back to US CELLULAR not the Unlocked version? Maybe I am missing something. But yes no more Sprint and $12.00 less.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
Did you download pie or did he?
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] Android4Lif:
He did it is the US Celluar Pie Version with no bloatware.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] Einsteindks:
With the size of system partitions and user memory, bloatware is not nearly as much a space issue as it once was. ESPECIALLY when a cellphone has the micro SD capability. The phone is dedicated to apps, and all user-created storage goes (if possible) onto the SD card. Seems all bloatware is now, is a checksum for authorized updates.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] Android4Lif:
Yea well VLAD tried unlocking bootloader and rooting. Left me in FASTBOOT and jumped off my computer with my money.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] 1914Macguyver:
I'm a little confused, a couple of posts back, you stated that he did the work on the phone, and now this. At this point, I have to be clear, I'm NOT his representative, mind you. I'm just a satisfied customer and I was just sharing my experience with him. I hope your phone gets straight. I understand how upsetting this must be.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] Android4Lif:
Everything was fine till he tried rooting my phone, now i cant get ahold of him. Thanks for the well wishes.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
You must do the rooting yourself tho ._. You just need Vlad to bootloader unlock you can do the rest yourself... Also if you can try to go to Slot B where the V35 fastboot/bootloader is located and then follow Xsavi's guide to get to US unlocked Pie and then manually root.

I personally did the flash to US unlocked Pie i just had my bootloader unlocked mind you I did it with Octoplus on telegram....no idea if their methods differ at all

I fixed it myself. Thanks for all the help and info.

It is free with a little searching you just need octoplus box. I think its for people who dont do this stuff often and just want there phone rooted. I personally have no problem with you doing stuff for money i think everyone should share the information though for people who want to do it themselves and you make money off the people who dont want to take the risk of damaging there device.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] b8engl:
yeah, it's free but only need a box... genius! :laugh:

yeah, I don't work for free! me and the rest off the planet!

If root is available to developers and users widely then development activity and testing will increase significantly. This way of doing things will not work whatsoever because of this. Anyway i hope OP can make his stuff public. Not a V40 user but its a shame since the V-series has a pretty good kernel to work with and premium hardware.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] awireless:
It is public you just gotta put the pieces together. I use this method all the time but only use it for frp removal.

Can the sprint version be cross flashed with the us unlocked version? Or just the us cellular rom? Does anyone know which bands are enabled in each rom?
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] beavis5706:
If this were released publicly there actually might be a scene for the v40. But no this guy wants to be selfish and keep this all to himself. Surprised xda allows this. Very counteractive to this whole hacking scene.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] Einsteindks:
All the info he uses IS public. He provides a service for those not tech-savy enough to do it on their own. The V40 IS a good phone, however the true need for root is dwindling fast with better memory phones, and more controls afforded to users up front. Perhaps when manufacturer and network support falls away, THEN we'll see more need to root in order to keep ROMs updated.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] nyttliv7:
Really?

"selfish and keep this all to himself"

It's all public!

But right now you need the Octoplus box to complete the process. You can buy it yourself for a few hundred bucks (and spend enough time to learn how to use it) or you can empty your pockets and spend $7 - $10 for unlocking bootloader, root and a bloat free Pie rom. That's almost for free and I'm pretty sure those guys don't make real profit on this, more like a passionate hobby. And the remote desktop thing!? If we couldn't trust them, don't you think we would have told everyone in the forum by now.

Time to change priorities regarding how you wanna spend/waste this weeks pocket money!

I say:

Big Thank you to you guys with Octoplus!

Keep up your great work!

(thanks [MENTION=5480851]Vlaaad[/MENTION] for saving my phone again the other day)
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] beavis5706:
Root and unlock bootloader to flash what? No roms, no kernels. This is what happens when you hold this scene hostage. If this method is so public where is it? Where is the burgeoning custom scene that usually comes along with root and unlocked bootloader. No dev will touch it. That's where.

I've seen all kinds of phones on various stages of lock down. I have never seen anything like this, paying for the hack. I have also never seen a phone with root AND unlocked bootloader with no custom scene attached to it. If there's no roms and kernels what's the point.

Sounds like this guy could provide root for all. Maybe not unlocked bootloader for all but surely just root. Make a custom rom with root baked in using his special machine and flash it using the new lg up method that doesn't require root. This guy could be the hero of the day. But he's not...
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] awireless:
LOL bruh thats not how it works you cant just put root into a ROM and flash it with LGUP there are secuirty checks. Its not this guys fault everything is public i put it together everyone can too. What we need is someone who knows how to use the edl.exe program and then we can make a solution for everyone to use without box but know one wants to try if you know how to use edl.exe hit me up we can make a file for people who dont have octoplus jtag pro.

Unless I'm wrong, these are the steps to reinstall 4.5.5.3 fireos back into the hdx 7" thor after stock recovery was wiped in twrp.

1) Download fireos 4.5.5.3 last version from amazon official site.

2) Rename .bin to .zip

3) Put into root (sdcard) on fire

4) Boot into twrp recovery, install said zip

5) Done??? (I assume the one zip will install to the 3 partitions (.img) on the fire?

My story:

I followed the instructions, unlocked my bootloader, and installed custom rom. No problem. Problem is, I didn't make a stock fireos backup first. The real kicker, I advanced wiped everything in twrp before the custom rom. Now it seems I have nothing but twrp and my custom rom.

NOT ACTUALLY WANTING STOCK OS BACK, but I didn't root at the time of the custom rom install. I didn't care about root at the time, just the custom rom. But now I DO want root, but kingroot etc won't work now. I assume it only works with the stock install? Because I'm now on aospextended, it appears I'm on a Kindle Fire 7" on android 7.1.2

Any suggestions on how to simply get root now at the current condition my hdx is in now? Thanks alot, been coming here for a long time. I'm usually the type to just "try and see" and not really ask many questions, but man I don't wanna brick this and I know how touchy these can be.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] treysky54:
Wanted to add a few more clear details...

Device: Fire HDX 7" Thor

Came w/ 4.5.5.2 (never updated to 4.5.5.3)

Wanting ROOT.

No stock backup in TWRP (accidently wiped)

Running AOSPExtended 7.1.2 w/ gapps Pico

Tried multiple 1-click root methods (pc and apk versions)

Installed older rom at one point (lineage11 android 4.4.4) in hope root can be made on kitkat in case nougat was the issue.

Can I still get root from any method at my current state WITHOUT reverting back to stock fireos?

Notice that I do own a second hdx 7" that I've used kingroot on BEFORE wiping anything lol and it rooted just fine. But not this one after the rom(s) install. I guess I just don't know where to go after failing to get root post-twrp/rom.

Why can't you just flash SuperSu or Magisk via twrp?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] treysky54:
Hi, the times I've done that, ended with a reboot into the Kindle logo (gray, not the gold). I left it for ages it seems with no change. So I would reboot back. Thought: don't tell me I needed to adb at that stage... never thought about it because it wasn't showing fastboot. Hmmm
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] gwardsc65:
This should be easy, unless I'm missing something.. Worst case get into twrp recovery and flash Asop or whatever custom rom, Gaaps, and SuperSu or Magisk ALL in the same session. Wipe cache and reboot.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
Sorry mate, not the way it works on this device (3rd gen HDX). Bootloader must be unlocked to obtain root on any custom ROM based on Android 5+. There are no (reasonable) workarounds or exceptions.

Expected symptom when attempting to secure root on a bootloader locked HDX.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] treysky54:
Ahhh... so it somehow got locked back and need to redo the procedure?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
No need to restore stock. Use MTP in TWRP to transfer (push) a KitKat based custom ROM zip to device, install and then go through bootloader unlock procedure. Suggest using Fire Nexus as the interim ROM as it is self contained with GApps and SuperSU built in.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RizwanKhan:
are you talking about not auto resetting after installation of a cab or auto resetting in general. The tilt is NOT supposed to automatically reset itself out of the blue. It either needs to be program or user triggered.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] alan1221:
Hi thesire

I'm talking about when a program tells it to reset. I hafve sprite backup on it and it says that it will reset before backup. The system turns off but doesn't reset. the only way to turn it back on is if you manually hit the reset button.

This is also the case for installing cabs as I will have to poke the reset manually because it doesn't to it itself
