LGUP for most International, and Domestic G5s

[schizoidd]

I have done my best to make sure most of the LG G5s out there will work with LGUP.

DISCLAMER: first and foremost, I take NO responsibilities for the possibility of a bricked phone(none whatsoever). if you brick it, it's YOUR fault, not mine.

ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR DATA BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING

now for the fun bit:
1. Download and extract the LGUP.zip file from here as it contains everything you'll need except the firmwares.
2. To install the drivers for the device, go to the Drivers folder located in LGUP, and select InstallUSB.exe for a 32-bit system, or InstallUSB64.exe for a 64-bit system.
3. Install LGUP_Lab_Frame_Ver_1_11 that is in the LGUP folder
4. Install either the G5x86.reg or the G5x64.reg depending on whether you have a 32 or 64 bit windows installed.
5. Put the "model" folder in the LG Electronics\LGUP folder which will be either in C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86) depending on whether you have a 32 or 64 bit windows installed
6. Put phone in download mode ( Phone off, vol up while plugging in usb from PC), start LGUP
7. Make sure you see a com # and phone model and at the bottom where it says BIN, select it, at which point you should see 3 dot on the right, select it and choose the .tot or .kdz file listed for your device, then hit start and wait for the magic.

Any possibility of achieving root with this on locked bootloaders?

From what I understand, as long as the stock firmware is published by LG or the carrier we can inject root.

This only if the model support the fastboot oem unlock command.
Without an unlocked bootloader is not possible to obtain root on Marshmallow, the only way would be find an exploit.

Thanks a bunch gwolfu. However, what I really need are the LG<model>_DLL.msi files. Specifically, I need it for the RS988. It was listed in the supported devices at the beginning, but can't find it =(

When you open "Settings" -> "General" tab -> "About phone" -> "Hardware info" what does it have for "Model number?"

 

[milennium]

Model number: LG-H850

OK looking at the screenshot, I'm wondering if somehow the install got messed up. If you go to:

c:\program files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\Model

What are the contents?

Also, open powershell as an administrator (usually can just type "powershell" from an elevated command prompt) and run this command:

Get-ChildItem -recurse 'HKCU:\Software\LG Electronics\LGUP' | where-object { $_.Property -like "DLL*"}


Then copy/paste the results so I can see them =)

In regedit, go to:

HKCU:\software\LG Electronics\LGUP\Model

 

[milennium]

Contents is (screen A and B).
Question. They must be unlocked bootloader?
Because my LGG5 be unblocked (Demo Unit).

You should be able to use the LGUP tool regardless of whether or not you have an unlocked bootloader. You may not be able to flash every kind of *.tot file, but whether or not your phone's bootloader is unlocked will have nothing to do with that error you're getting.

What about the output of the powershell command:

Get-ChildItem -recurse 'HKCU:\Software\LG Electronics\LGUP' | where-object { $_.Property -like "DLL*"}


?

Here is the result Powershell command:

OK, so, do the following, and then try to run LGUP with the phone connected, and let's see if it works:
1. Create a blank notepad file
2. Save it as something like h850.reg to your desktop where you can find it easily.
3. With the file still open in notepad, copy/paste the info below info and then save it again.
4. Close the file, then double-click it from your desktop to import it.

I've also attached it as a *.txt file which you can just change the extension to *.reg if that's easier:
