read the posts

Read through the posts I believe it was in the first couple of pages or replies. Did this phone ever have access to fastboot etc... even on an older 11g kdg?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] TWiiTCH:
I must have mislead you, or gotten mixed up myself. I was under the belief that maybe my AWM Firmware could be replaced or flashed and then use the modified boot.img but I am no pro and I appologise if I got your hopes up. This is my first LG. I've only rooted Samsung's & nexus models successfully. If there are good instructions I can follow to the tee and have no issues. Here I'm trying to see what is possible, thinking out loud if you will. Maybe I should have written what I wanted to figure out more in the form of a question. I have been told the same by a successful bootloader unlocked here that he had to use a box. My apologies from 1 Canadian to another.

I'm hoping it'll happen somehow with out needing any extra units but the phone is a junker to me anyway. Only plus was the quad dac and I'll pay my last bill on the 26th of this month allowing me to but anything my carrier offers. Already placed this on Kijiji last night for $300 even with everything, box manuals, sim tray pin all OEM and mint condition. Everyone else asking $320+ and I'm even willing to bargain/drop some.

Cheers and again sorry for the mix-up on my behalf.

Saw this maybe it can be tailored somehow to be done on our phones. I don't know but this is what I was speaking of......

[HOW TO] Bootloader Unlock any G7 ThinQ except T-Mobile w/o octoplus

I had this issue with pie, it has to do with carrier fixes depending on the carrier you are on
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] gilnfld:
Hey man, how is it going.

No need to apologize I did not read anything into your post certainly not anything to apologize for my friend. And you did not get my hopes up since I am already Bootloader unlocked and rooted from a while ago. Right now, contrary to the name of this thread -- which STILL INSISTS that this method works on ALL models except the Tmobile -- unless LG changes things in the future there is absolutely no way to unlock the AWM Canadian model without Octoplus Box. Which i have done several times remotely with the fella that offers this service. On a stock non-rooted G7 we cannot do anything unless we have access to fastboot commands which allows to start doing stuff like flashing modified boot.img etc. Without fastboot on a non-rooted phone there is nothing we can do. With some of the G7 models, flashing via LGUP a full KDZ from another model can open up access to fastboot but this does not work on our AWM model, it just doesnt. I have flashed dozens of KDZ file from all variants of the G710 and non of them give us access to fastboot commands.

TLDR; it is a lost cause, dude -- the only way to BL unlock our devices is to get Vasilly (@octoplus on telegram I believe?) to do it for you remotely via his octoplus service. It is a fairly painless and quick process, he can be a bit abrupt sometimes but he knows what he is doing and isnt out to hack your computer or phone etc. You just have to following the instructions carefully. Or, alternately, yes -- you can sell the phone. ;)

LG-G710EMW IND PIE - bootloader unlocked but boots back to Oreo

Bootloader unlocked but system returns to Oreo. At present system boots from slot b (oreo V10x-IND-XX).

Both Download and fastboot mode is working.

Here is how I do it.

I followed the post by [MENTION=10194379]ShaanSatish[/MENTION] here and [MENTION=9551820]sandronejm[/MENTION] here.

1. Download boot image for the software version V20f-IND-XX from https://xdaforums.com/lg-g7-thinq/development/root-t3958624

2. Download MagiskManager-v7.3.2

3. Copy both to internal memory.

4. Patch boot image using magisk after updating the app.

5. Copy magisk_patched.img back to PC.

6. Follow [MENTION=9551820]sandronejm[/MENTION] post from step 17 to step 21

instead of "710ULM11g_rootedboot.img", use "magisk_patched.img"

7. Continue step 21 till step 33.

After pushing abl_a.img to partition abl_a and abl_b rebooted to bootloader,but the phone restarted several times and finally a secure boot screen appears which asked for Pin (with 25 attempt left of 30).With one try it reset the data and boots to Oreo (V10x-IND-XX).

Completed setups and enabled OEM unlock and USB debugging.

Checked if the fastboot is still working. Fastboot and download mode was working.

8. Continued step 33 to step 38.

Bootloader unlocked successfully.

Added!!

To boot back to PIE, download the pie firmware.

Extract abl_a.img from pie kdz firmware file using KDZ Extractor (Guide)

For G710EMW IND V20f stock abl_a check the attachment.

Go to fastboot

flash the abl_a file for pie using

fastboot flash abl_a ablpiestock.img

After this for rooting flashed magisk patched image.

fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img

Set active slot to 'a' (as my active slot was 'b',I set it as 'a')

fastboot --set-active=a

fastboot reboot

Install Magisk Manager and it will ask to setup some environmental setup ->Click OK. The system will reboot.

Done.

A safer bootloader unlock method is now available for G7.

Thanks bro, I will try to contact him and I trust him with my phone as I have read an article where he was mentioned many times some by haters but most by appreciators. I trust him to unlock my device if he is willing to do so and I will use your info to try to track him down. Thanks for the tip and if you trust him then I trust him. There's nothing on here that would be worth stealing anyway so no worries. I will try to reach him later tonight or tomorrow. I will keep you up-to-date once I reach him. are the instructions hard to follow and are they listed anywhere, and if they are can you post the link so I can see them ahead of time and know how much time to set aside four the process to be done. Cheers mate and Happy Valentine's Day
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] gilnfld:
Hey man, actually not sure if you have already contacted him or not. But, ironically, a new method is just now propagating to allow you us unlock BL without a box. It uses the Qualcom Product Support Tool / Qualcom Flash Image Loader (QPST/QFIL) these are advanced configuration, and testing application for qualcom based devices. In order to use theses with specific types of processors/phones we need to load what's called a Firehose/Loader file -- what basically lets the programs read the partitions of the phone etc. These are usually hard to find fore free as it is usually part of professional use kinda like ocotoplus etc . BUT the lg SD845 firehose file just leaked. Allowing us, via these programs to practically do whatever we want interms of backing up, unlocking bootloader, rooting, etc. There is a thread being written about it now. NOTE: these quallcom programs are very dangerous in that they can do a real number on your device -- i guess the same can be said about fastboot but it is infact more dangerous than fastboot so if you are going this route do not go beyond the needed steps.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] allinkiran:
Can you please point to what these carrier fixes are(noob status here xD )?

It would still be dependent on the phone though, right? I have used atleast 3 sim cards and not one works in either usb or wifi hotspot.

Do you know what slot your phone is in? Slot_a or b. That's what slot you load the v35eng.img.

I'm on 11g and I did the unlock. I want to root, so I'm using the 710ULM11g_rootedboot.img, but fastboot boot 710ULM11g_rootedboot.img goes into system, but magisk manager says Magisk not installed. How do I get root so I can patch a newer boot (20e)? Thx

-----------------

nvm, I'm dumb. I didn't have oem unlock/debug enabled. After turning those on, and booting the patched boot, I could go into magisk manager and install magisk and it's now 11g rooted.

What kdz are you currently on? I might have the partions you need.

You would restore laf_a and laf_b using qfil to gain download mode to crossflash any kdz you want except TMobile.

I would do both laf partitions cause I don't know what boot slot your in.

The guide you referenced can help with that.

Were you ever able to get the Sprint model to get SU through adb? Everytime I type in the command adb shell -c dd if=/sdcard/abl_a.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/abl_a it stalls and gives me "Permission Denied."
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] potatohead:
"Permission Denied" error message has nothing to do with whether the G7 is a Sprint model or otherwise, it is due to the latest Magisk Manager App (v7.5.1) being incompatible with the pre-installed Magisk core (v19), use Magisk Manager v7.4.0 and this error will be resolved.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] Chase0ut:
Thanks for responding to my post, this was the issue. Yesterday before I dozed off, I deleted the MagiskManager (v7.5.1) and installed (6.4.1 I think) after I installed the img file while in fastboot mode. After the bootloader was unlocked and root access was gained, I updated it to the latest and it still worked. I'm going to paste every step I took in detail later so that a monkey could do it; it was a little confusing just following the basic commands so I'll try to simplify it for others. I made a post yesterday about how I fixed it on my redditt, u/AgitatedExperience but forgot to update that here. Thanks for responding tho!

Hey there fellas sorry for late reply , was tied up with family things. From what I can tell, any G7 that had no access to fastboot on Oreo can't gain such access simply by flashing a KDZ file; I know for certain this does not work on the Canadian model and yes I also tried GFI kdz files, but I strongly suspect this is the case for other models in the same predicament. This guide is excellent for the community but it should be noted that it will only work on models that had access to fastboot commands on Oreo.
