I've installed QPST, I did not see qfil to download. after installed I see qfil in the start menu.

It's more than 30mns, my screen still same and all the options greyed out. What If kill the session and do it again. will my phone reboot If I do that ?
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] crimsonrommer:
It wont reboot, you have to force reboot by holding down and power, once it boots back up try again
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] kiory01:
exacto..
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] crimsonrommer:
As I said in the post it may take several tried to get it to work
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] xdasree:
Perfect, worked. Thanks a lot

all about trying again by holding volume down and power.

btw, it's demo unit

Neat, another confirm for the demo unit

did you flash any other rom yet ? did you manage to by pass charging limit after root ?
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] xdasree:
it's Verizon unit

do you think cross flashing will work ? after root model no showing as LM-V600 and software version V60010c
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] crimsonrommer:
I wouldn't risk it, as that may cause a hard brick
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] xdasree:
what about flashing verizon stock rom, is partition may be different. but we managed to read and backup partitions from QFIL, if it bricked I guess we can restore partitions ...
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] crimsonrommer:
I would advise against it, but if you would like to try for the sake of others go ahead, just make sure to take a full backup
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] crimsonrommer:

It's great to see we've got a breakthrough in rooting V60!

What I am lacking in the first post is information about models and firmware versions for which the guide works.

Previous rooting method works for European LMV600EA only. What about the one? Does it work for Korean model also? Do the phone needs a particular FW version?

Please clarify this.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] crimsonrommer:
There's no specific model or firmware requirement, otherwise I would have put it in the first post
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Raify4:
not yet, I want a backup of all partitions first (there are many)

Did you try?
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] kingilein:
I finished everything successfully up to point 8. Reboot into Fastboot mode did not work. After that, the V60 stayed in EDL mode. No chance to get in fastboot or normal boot. I've tried all possible key combinations. Despite EDL mode, I can no longer perform any actions in the QFIL. The cell phone seems to be bricked. What options are there to get out of EDL mode? In terms of hardware, the device is a V600AM, but in meantime I have now cross-flashed this to European firmware ...
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] crimsonrommer:
Did you take a backup of those partitions like the guide said to do?

[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] FC06:
that's the guide i followed but the "pass" button never shows. It always fails
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] FC06:
Ok man so i tried again but this time with a piece of white paper instead of my finger over the green button.(make sure to press the white paper hard enough). That time it worked and now I have the fingerprint scanner up and running. For whatever reason, it was not detecting my finger so it always failed the first test and could not complete the test despite the fact I'm white lol.

I recommend everyone else to try the test with a piece of white paper from a notebook and see if you can activate the fingerprint scanner.

PS: My bootloader is still unlocked so at least for me it is confirmed you can have the fingerprint working with the bootloader unlocked. Also, I'm running a Att cross flashed to EA10e. I'll try later with an A11 stock room and post my results.

When I get my phone into 9008 mode it doesn't show up in my device manager or in qfil I think my phone is corrupted.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] FC06:
when on edl mode (9008) check on device manager under the ports tab and see what the driver shows. If it shows something different to Qualcomm 9008 (if my memory doesn't fail) you need to reinstall the drivers

I keep getting Sahara Fail errors when running the Partition Manager.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] null-dev:
By the way @crimsonrommer I've made a Magisk module that allows for disabling RCT without needing to mount system R/W.

It only replaces the steps that need system R/W, the rest of the steps are still necessary. So the new instructions would look like:

1. adb shell, pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.lge.rctprovider

2. adb reboot bootloader, Fastboot erase rct, Reboot to System

3. adb shell, pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.lge.srtc

4. Download and install the Magisk module: https://github.com/null-dev/lg-v60-rct-disable-magisk/raw/master/lg-v60-rct-disable-magisk.zip, then reboot the phone.

5. Delete /mnt/product/persist-lg/rct folder

hi!

I just want to carrier unlock my verizon lg v60 uw, will this guide work for me?

the phone is unlock but has an app that blocks the network after a few minutes and then shows this screen.

thank you very much!
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] null-dev:
No, this guide is about bootloader unlock, not carrier unlock. The two are completely different. Bootloader unlock cannot help you get carrier unlock.

[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] surgemanx:
Nope,it will still be locked.I have thought the same with multiple devices,and no matter what firmware you flash to it's still carrier locked.

I would call Verizon and ask them to check the IMEI number and see if it's blacklisted.Just tell them you was thinking of purchasing the phone,and you want to see if it's able to be activated.I have a feeling it's on a blacklist with the error you're having.

I will be thankful is someone with in-depth experience of the V60 rooting process could be so kind and answer a few questions.

1. Does the procedure work for version V20m-EEA-XX (Android 11)?

2. Is there anything that can fail after rooting, especially irreversibly (like fingerprint reader, DRM, SafetyNet)? What functionality I will lost and what can I possibly lost?

3. Is the procedure in the initial 1-3 posts still up to date or I should rather go through whole this thread and gather all the pieces together?

4. Do I need the following fixes from post #3: making system RW, disabling RCT?

5. Is there something that I should be especially aware to not to brick my phone?
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] cassiopeia1280:
How do you relock the bootloader?
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] surgemanx:
Fastboot mode then run fastboot oem lock in cmd as administrator.But you'll loose all data,and have to refurbish with LGUP or use Qfil to right back ABL_A and ABL_B you made a back up of.If you was rooted you'll have to write boot_a and boot_b in Qfil as well.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] przemhb:
I'm on V20m-EEA. Phone connected to my PC. Cable checked. When I hold Power and Volume Down the phone indeed restarts. When only its screen gets black I start to tap Volume Up without releasing VolUp and Power.

I would expect a new COM port to appear in the Device Manager, but it doesn't.

When I keep holding all the 3 keys phone keeps restarting.

If I hold VolUp instead of pressing it and release Power a white screen with IMEI, SN and barcodes is displayed.

Am I doing something wrong, missing something or for V20m the procedure to enter 9008 mode has changed?
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] przemhb:
Cable fault.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] przemhb:
Unfortunately there's no "Android Bootloader Interface" among available drivers. Should I continue with "ADB Testing interface", "LGE AndroidNet for VZW ADB Interface", "LGE Mobile ADB Interface" or "LGE Mobile for VZW ADB Interface"?

EDIT: I've decided to use "LGE Mobile ADB Interface" and it worked just fine.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] przemhb:
If you've got boot_b backup then you can simply patch it with Magisk and then flash it with fastboot to both boot_a and boot_b. Worked for me.

Notice that the "Rooting with Magisk" guide from post #2 does not instruct to check on which boot a/b you are use the proper one. In my humble opinion the guide should be updated with this.

I loaded abl_a and abl_b in QFIL. Now I can't get into fastboot mode - the phone starts to boot up and then just goes to charging mode while staying off.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] przemhb:
I am a bit reluctant to deleting the folder (step 5). From my experience with V30 any modification to the system partition resulted in SafetyNet fail. As both the apps are already uninstalled is it still required to remove the folder?

Will I pass SafetyNet and be able to use GPay afterwards?
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] ooftymcgoofty:
You'll have to do the process again from beginning to get access to fastboot and relock, maybe?
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] null-dev:
The file you are deleting in step 5 is actually on the persist partition and I'm still able to pass SafetyNet after I deleted it (I still needed "Universal SafetyNet Fix" magisk module though).

But I don't even know if you need to delete it. For me it just has a text file in it so I don't think it's a big deal. You can try leaving it there for now and just delete it later if you run into any problems.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] surgemanx:
That's correct.The Enginnering ABL is what enables fastboot.You fastboot oem lock before you write your original ABL_A and ABL_B.Then you'll have to refurbish with LGUP.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] przemhb:
Step 5 wasn't necessary. I've just installed the Universal SafetyNet Fix, turned on Zygisk in Magisk and configured DenyList.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] przemhb:
I've got one error that bothers me a bit.

"Cannot open [LG] Backup & Restore. The required Google certificate (key attestation) has been deleted."

Is there a fix for this one?
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] null-dev:
The OP says that LG Backup doesn't work once you unlock so this should be normal right?
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] przemhb:
Yes, as long as no other, especially vital, services or apps rely on the Google certificate (key attestation). That's why I am bit concerned.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] null-dev:
Key attestation breaks as soon as you unlock bootloader. There's no other apps that directly check key attestation directly as far as I'm aware. Some apps do check it through Safetynet though, but the Safetynet fix magisk module should fix that for those apps.

[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Generic123.:
Having some problems with the fingerprint sensor after unlocking my bootloader. The fingerprint sensor appears to scan like normal, but has now become extremely inaccurate. Before I unlocked a bootloader, the fingerprint scanner was accurate (if a little slow at times) and was able to get my fingerprints almost all of the time. Now my fingerprint scanner only gets my finger once in a blue moon. Relocking the bootloader doesn't seem to fix the problem. Have I just permanently destroyed my fingerprint scanner?

EDIT: I've managed to get my fingerprint back to its original accuracy when the phone is locked by restarting a couple times, I'll have to see if I can replicate this when the bootloader is unlocked.

Use LGUP and refurbish the phone with the original firmware.You'll be fine.To get in download mode power off the phone,and hold vol+ while you plug the usb cable in..
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] cassiopeia1280:
This is so frustrating. I'm in LGUP and when I select refurbish it only lets me select .tot files, which there doesn't seem to be one for this phone. And when I select Upgrade and use a .kdz file it gets to 9% and the I get Error: Error Code = 0x2000, Flashing Fail.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] surgemanx:
If you choose refurbish it should still let you select the .kdz file you want to flash.Try a different cable,and usb port.I recently had issues with a strange usb cable.It would work fine at times,and at times it would do the same similar thing you're having issues with.

Hello-having some trouble with changing the RW status. I get the patched bin generated, but the script says it's looking for an *.img file. There are none.

hello, im getting no wifi after the root process, i see the "fix" is to relock the bootloader and update the phone and start over, the only problem is im already on the latest update and seeing as this is an at&t variant, i dont believe im able to use lgup correct? how can i fix this??
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] ooftymcgoofty:
When that happened to me (Verizon), I put back the original boot_a and boot_b and all was fine. Did not have to relock bootloader, so no data wipe or any hassle like that. Then I repatched both boot_a and boot_b (both just in case) with MAGISK, then flashed the appropriate patched one to boot_a and boot_b. It tells you active slot on fastboot screen. In my case, it was boot_b that I needed to use as that was the active slot. I had used boot_a and that caused the problem.

So, if slot a is current slot, use patched a for boot_a and boot_b. If b is active slot, use patched b for boot_a and boot_b.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] ooftymcgoofty:
Now that I think about it, you don't even need to put the orig boots back. I did that because I hadn't found the solution yet.

Just find out what your current slot is on the fastboot screen, and flash the corresponding MAGISK patched boot to boot_a and boot_b.

Or flash the originals back if you don't want root.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] racer8dan:
So I was able to get it fixed by switching my active slot to A with "fastboot --set-active=a" and in my case reflashing the magisk patched boot a image.

Everythings working now

Hello all, I'm glad to see the site didn't die yet, in fact the opposite. I got a question, knowing how history goes in terms of updates, is it still possible to root the phone now that it updated to Android 12?

Basically when an update this major happens, usually (based on the update error some are having) LG introduced some form of integrity check to either A) detect that the phone is modified, and/or B) make it near impossible to root simply because it fails a certain check after you manage to change the boot file to root or C) which is worst case scenario, it will not let you go back to android 11 using the qfil method or the LGup method, though I haven't had expirience with LG as this is my second LG device since v30.

I did do a backup of all the files using the qfil program as soon as this post arrived, but stopped short of unlocking and rooting the phone. I'm still on android 11 though but know if I restart or it will restart on it's own after midnight it will change.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] MrLeronex:
W0t?? The bootloader is unlocked and there is no check. Just use Standard LG root method with patching boot partitions.
