People have tired messaging their PR Dept, Facebook, Twitter, etc.... It WON'T WORK, THEY DON'T CARE. WE ARE A TINY MINORITY, THEY CARE ABOUT SECURITY FOR THE MASSES. End of story. Again, like I said pages back, our ONLY hope is a experienced hacker/modder.

They need to get on the security patches then.

Tmobile doesn't care about a bootloader being locked. Remember bootloader gate with the s7? Not a damn thing changed.

I'm having fun learning on my phone, especially since I've been near bedridden for weeks now.

Give up if y'all want, but have patience. It's a guarantee. Since they cancelled the g7 it shouldnt be long before an exploit is released

Who's giving up?
I just don't think there's anything we can do, yet..

There was eventually a way to root the s7. That's why I haven't updated my better V30 yet.

It sucks we can't find an exploit in the T-Mobile app or the tmo adapt pr app that i usually remove or disable, you know the one that immediately asks for root when you flash SuperSU or something..

Also, wish there was a way to enable something through ADB to gain root. I mean, there's apps, like Package Disabler that can disable apps that you normally cannot by simply allowing administration access.
Apps like System UI tuner you have to allow access through ADB and it works.
There's gotta be a way with this device, ya know? Something. Every day I hope someone discovers or develops something. Patience... We could get something.
Heck, the US998 isn't even on the official bootloader unlock list yet..

I hope LG doesn't make me turn my back on them like Samsuck did after the S5 came. Because I really like LG a lot. I enjoy their skin too, much better than Sammy's. I just want root for adblocking, kernel control, deeper customizations, etc. I think we all do.

They should let us do whatever we want. Maybe make it more difficult to keep newbs away? LOL Not really. But I mean c'mon LG!
I know I'm ranting. Meanwhile, enjoying root on my G4..

Also, this warranty void bull**** is stupid! You don't void your warranty unlocking a OnePlus or Google Bootloader. Such crap man!

I used to work for TMobile and that pr.adapt bs was just to let TMobile know you're device was rooted. If you came in with a rooted phone issue, without even looking at the device , tmobiles store software tells you it's been rooted. Depends on the rep if they are a tight ass and don't want to warranty the thing though. I never cared. TMobile started that when they cracked down on the people abusing the tethering bypass.

There has to be a known exploit. It's out there, I know it. I want to find it.

Brings up a question. If the kernel is rooted, does it light up the kernel panic ? Hmm

Since nobody posted in a while, I figured nobody wanted this post number for some reason.

I have a request. Can someone make an ota script with twrp or a modified system in it?

No, I said LG.

Even the LG Developer department says they don't make the company policy, they just implement it. I need LG email or Twitter addresses to annoy LG people in charge -- who do make the policy. They're cancelling the G7 due to losing money, but there's a whole bunch of people waiting to buy the V30 if they would ever unleash full developer mode.

You can safely flash older Nougat firmware with LGUP. I've been dancing between 11m 10v and 10f without any problems. No need to hesitate to update. Worst can happen u're gonna have to factory reset.
It might be not possible if you upgrade to Oreo tho ;]

So far there's only been one update from 10b to 10c. Not a huge jump.

My H932U V30+ shipped with 10c. If you look at the box your phone came in, it will say what version firmware is on it.

...They don't care... We are a TINY MINORITY. You think they care about selling an extra hundred or so phones when they're selling them by the thousands? Don't waste your time with them. You will get nowhere. I'm not saying that being a ****, just don't want you wasting your time like other have in the past, including myself.

A hundred isn't a whole bunch, at least not in my opinion.

It kind of sucks that it would seem that LG has basically abandoned everything currently available and coming to start fresh. The V30/V30+ models should have all had Oreo by now but I will be surprised if we even see that at this rate.

Oreo is coming.

And "developer support" sells more phones than just to us. We recommend to family and friends.

ChazzMatt is right; I used to be all about Samsung but the way the handled the Note 7 debacle even though I didn't own one, I left them because I felt they would not make good if I had a problem. Because I left Samsung, 9 people around me also left (2 went to Apple and 5 to LG (like me), 1 to Blackberry (LOL), and 1 to OnePlus).

Of those 9 people, 4 like me have 3 or more devices active.

Word of mouth can severely cut into sales.

There's actually a marketing classification for this: INFLUENCER.

"An influencer is an individual who has above-average impact on a specific niche process. Influencers are normal people, who are often connected to key roles of media outlets, consumer groups, industry associations or community tribes. ... Such individuals are not simply marketing tools, but social relationship assets."

With 11 straight years of losses in their mobile department. Clearly it isn't helping enough.

crazyut · Jan 23, 2018

For sure, and the money they spend on the over marketing of LG products is definitely not helping either. Combine that with their overzealous customer service as well as their hyper-competitive pricing scheme and they've got real problems, it's no wonder so many quarters of losses.

LG Open Source

Ran across this for the H932. Will this help you guys at all?

Cheers

runningnak3d · Jan 23, 2018

@EMSpilot Directly -- no. However, that gave me a great idea. Check to see if they used any GPL code in lafd -- they did.

selinuxfs

They have also used various LGPL code, but since lafd is statically linked, then they are in violation of those licenses as well.

Now I don't have the money to sue LG, but I will be writing the FSF, and I suggest that all of you do as well. I will keep digging in the hopes that I can find GPL3 code. GPL2 they don't have to supply the keys needed to install the binary, but with the GPL3 they fixed that (Tivo was the main reason. Releasing firmware that couldn't be flashed because of this very reason -- security keys). However, just having the source code will make it SO much easier to find any security holes.

And for good measure, this is what I just fired off to LG:

It has come to my attention that the binary that you use in your "download mode" -- lafd uses GPL2 software, specifically selinuxfs: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/security/selinux/selinuxfs.c

I request the immediate release of the lafd source code, and any keys that I may need to flash a modified version onto my phone.

Thank you,

-- Brian

EDIT: That was the first step. They have to refuse to release the source, and then we follow this: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-violation.en.html
