[I-IoLLoW]

Here is the answer I got from the LG dev forum. Pretty much a non answer.

All other guys that has tmo variant should partecipate inside that thread.

Tmo is always bootloader unlocked and unlocked must remain.

One of the first prerequisites to that option was root. Which we don't have sadly.

Are You going to release root and if so how much?

Jcase doesn't do it the money. It's his gift to understand this stuff so well and he has a great career in the security industry. However, if he would like us to get a rewards so to speak to either get him a g5 (free, so it could be used as a burner phone for him) or a. Donation to. The charity of his choice. Either way I feel obligated to help jcase in this case.

I'm sure everyone in this thread wouldn't mind putting some money down for a bounty/reward for him to do wither of those things.

Looking through dump files now to see if I can find boot and aboot.. if I can then some how need to get phone into fastbooting mode first then I can try fastbooting the aboot and then fastboot disable-verity add recovery twrp img fastboot it and see what's up.. aboot, recovery, and laf I believe you'll need them all.. removing fastboot images first then readding them with modded aboot according to what I have read and Jcase's commits.. Basically a full bootstack/ modem will be needed incase something doesn't go right to restore the files to correctly reboot phone again..

Did anyone get in touch with @jcase about meeting up with him or establishing a remote connection with him?

Anyway guys the point is we can unlock the bootloader but can do ****-all with it. We need an engineering bootloader or a hacked one, and dm-verify disabled

Clearly jcase has figured it out already because he was able to flash/modify his aboot. Not sure why he isn't releasing it, but he has his reasons probably.

Where does it say he has a modified aboot? Last I had heard he had rooted his device that's it?

You can't have a modified system because of dm-verify which is enforced in aboot

He said himself that "all you need to do" is dump aboot, turn off dm verify, then flash it back. The problem is aboot is hidden and no one has a dump (except jcase) and no one can flash anything because the commands are disabled (except jcase)

 

[autoprime]

so much misinfo in G5 forum.

and dm-verity is kernel feature in boot.img
if you modify aboot then secureboot will fail and the phone wont boot.. unless you also have an exploit for the bootstack too.

I was under the impression that he had a root exploit and used that. I don't think he has been able to dump a LG g5 yet unless someone made it to him.

But I guess he's getting something done if he has root. We will see
