Tungkick has managed to make a TOT file for the V10 which I think they plan on using to get root for those that took an OTA and had a similar situation without all the fastboot commands. I think this uses Eliminater74's files that he put in a 2 part solution to get root. Hopefully we can hear some good news from that side!

I think he is a part of that team. That team has been BS'ing the LG V10 community fairly recently but Tungkick seems to have a pedigree in the past of helping to root that device by making a custom TOT (or KDZ I don't remember) that had root in it.

Btw just so everyone knows: I flashed the TOT with just the recovery.img with LGUP 1.11 and my phone booted fine. My device was not wiped. I assume that it either did nothing or re-flashed the stock recovery. It was at least safe to flash for me.

Great work! I'm glad that investment in the TOT is bearing us some knowledge! Is there any issues with it as of now? Again congrats!!

Edit: let me know if you need me to test since I'm sure that my TOT backup will work on my device if things don't go smoothly!

Obviously there's not much info on making tot files out there. I actually learned a lot today, but i'm no expert.
Shoot me a PM and i'll give you a heads up. it's your tot to begin with.
If we get it working you can release it.

IF BOOTLOADER LOCK . flash tot add twrp can not work , phone still bootlop boot verify failed
We have an unlocked bootloader though similar to the H901. Are we still in trouble? Thanks for coming here by the way and great work with the H901!

From my understanding our bootloaders are unlocked. However the flash and write commands are missing. Boot verify should be disabled when we oem unlock
It doesn't get disabled that way but once we have twrp running we could flash a zip to disable it

I may be wrong but it's my understanding that once we have twrp, root and disabling dm-verity should be fairly simple. So, progress! .Tot definitely seemed worth it! On a side note - I'm glad to see people working together here. All the drama was ridiculous but the community seems to be coming together and I thank all members involved with this collaboration, whether it bares fruit or not.

I feel like getting the hang of TOT files now will make rooting future LG devices a lot easier. I feel like the trend is that we will have these half unlocked bootloaders requiring more work to get root. If we learn TOT compiling now we should be set for the future too. At least that's my optimistic hypothesis ?

Edit: Also in the future once someone does end up figuring it out they should write out a full guide so that the LG community can benefit from it in the future. You guys are pioneers!

Oh my God ...
if you can't add to development just simply stfu. i've clearly stated that H30 bootloaders are not locked but they are missing the flash commands. autoprime said this same thing via irc. I didn't say with absolute certainty this would work. however, it's worth a try isn't it???

mods sorry.....
