Root H830 WITH TOT file

[ew]

Great work! I am curious, does this open the way for custom roms or will we only be able to use stock rooted?

Thank you so much.

It didn't like the + when attempting to download via browser, so I've renamed it.

I'll leave it up for a bit.

Check the main LG G5 thread, there is already an H830 rom.

My time has been incredibly limited but I'm hoping to bring a custom rooted stock rom and something Aosp/cm related up eventually. I just don't know when I'll have substantial time - I still haven't rooted my g5, lol. Work/school/life has been hectic for months. But considering that I own the h830, that's the only thing I'll be building for.

Exciting!

do we have an exact source on who created the modified TOT file we're putting on the phone via LGup? Just want to know what was done to make it root-able

after reporting 100% update LgUp crashed.
Phone booted, but I cannot go into TWRP, getting green android with red triangle instead.
Words of wisdom are appreciated.

I found the OP rather hard to follow and had to start over as well. Doing what the post I linked says everything went very smooth.

I don't mean to be a bother but does anyone have a video of themselves rooting their G5? For some reason my phone does recognize itself but can't get adb working.

Tungkick created the modified tot based off of a stock tot arjuna_ had created off his fully wiped phone, at a repair shop. At that time he had a stock recovery tot made and I packed twrp into the stock tot. Tungkick put it all together and made it a full flashable tot with twrp recovery. He worked his magic just as he did for the V10 community.

THANK You. I see where I was going wrong now. You're a lifesaver!!

This is precisely what I did. Except cannot boot into TWRP. Maybe it is not there..

Should I just reflash modified tot?

 

[Maine_Coon]

reflashed and everything is fine now. must be bad flash.

Just use the terminal feature in TWRP and type these commands:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/624000.ufshc/by-name/misc
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/624000.ufshc/by-name/fota

Thank you for this. The moment it booted into TWRP instead of booting the OS, I went in search to fix my issue. Tried this first, and all went well. Now taking my first backup to tuck away safely. Much appreciated.

 

[freebee269]

i want to say thank you for achieving root.

 

[Nima79]

@tungkick plz root h818 lg g4 ... we really need root in android 6 .tnx

 

[tribalartgod]

I'm rooted! Thanks for this. Anyone on Win10 having issues, PM me what step you are at, and I can help you get through it. Please note:
-Once booted into Fastboot Mode, I had to update/reinstall the ADB driver as shown in the video a few posts above.
-I also had the TWRP bootloop which was easily fixed as well.

Just remember... Before starting, make sure you have EVERYTHING downloaded/installed that you will need. I recommend watching the mentioned video a couple times to get familiar with what will actually need to be done. My active online times are usually between 5pm and 9pm EST.

Again, thanks to all who had a part in this, and thank you in advance to anyone who decides to start developing for this device.

 

[jhasty01]

Didn't have any issues on Win10 except had to manually select driver after install. No bootloops etc.
