No way without an unlocked bootloader. Since you have to unlock your bootloader to root, you can do them both by following these guides!

Well no he didn't. I made it very clear that I did not want to go through the recently discovered process to obtain root. Since unlocking the bootloader is the first part of the process to obtain root, it shouldn't take a genius IQ to understand that I'm talking about the process as a whole, not just the second half of it.
Go troll somewhere else, kid.

You obviously don't understand what it takes and with that attitude you will not receive help around here.

I'm no expert but I've done the conversion process. It seems a bit too complex to create a toolkit or one-click method. If I had to predict, I would say no one is going to create a one-click process.
I can tell you that the rooting portion is the easy process. Once you unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP, you can simply flash one of the few pre-rooted ROMs

Sadly you'll have to follow one of the guides to achieve root. Took me one try and about 10 minutes of my time. Really not that difficult if you follow the instructions accurately.

It already is one click to obtain root. You just need to go through the unlock process first. It's really pretty easy.
Just read over the guide a few time, and make sure everything is downloaded and ready to go.
Mine worked first time without issue. Only took maybe 10 minutes once I started. I read through the guide several times before I started just so I was sure I understood everything and didn't miss any steps.

status update on root for our device

Me, Honestly Annoying, and 4 others are working getting root, and fastboot working on our device. As far as where we are at (as of this post), fastboot pulls up on the phone and the computer recognizes it, most fastboot commands work, but the ones involving unlocking the bootloader don't work. On every file we have tried up to this point, except for the userdebug I posted a bit ago we get file "signature verification failed", but that is due to a locked bootloader. we have been working nonstop to get the fastboot to function in our device so we can unlock our bootloader. If, and I mean if, this works right, it will easily be applied to quite a few devices. so, in short, we are working on it. We will release the files we have once we are SURE that they work like they are supposed to.
Just don't ask how long it's gonna take to be completed, cuz we honestly don't know. But we are working almost night and day to get this done

For real... Been day and night on this one
If anyone has any ACTUAL questions (ie. not an ETA), please ask them. If you would like to offer ACTUAL help (ie. not "I will test your root method" because there is none to test) please tell us here! Also, @autoprime you have been strangely quiet about all of this, can you offer some insight about where we are? It would be much appreciated

Let me know if there's any help I can render!

We don't think so, though we will have to do some testing on that...

We checked, it definitely isn't writing the aboot back when it boots. Still won't recognize unlock commands though...

No worries... this is OK
A while back Tungkick made me a TOT that booted into fastboot. Don't know what she did to edit it, but it works. However it did not recognize ANY fastboot commands, but once I enabled userdebug by editing the build.prop it started to recognize some of them. As far as aboot goes, that's all @schizoidd and I'll let him explain

ok so what has been edited and done. i looked at our aboot and compared it to tmobile's and noticed a few things were missing like the "welcome to fastboot" and a few other things. and on ours, there was some random characters that were in ours but not in t-mobile's nor on the verizon one, so on the stock edited, i just deleted that code. and like Honestly Annoying said, it booted without an issue. i also created another file with tmobile and sprint's aboot merged together and it also booted.
the things done on the merged aboot, sprint encryption, keysand a few other things, tmobile everything else. i have the files but will not upload to here until i know what's all going on

@autoprime ^^^ last post explains what we're doing

How can I root or at least get Lineage OS with Nougat?

I have nougat already and was expecting for a easier way to unlock bootloader than in Marshmallow so I waited for it. Now with Nougat I see it very impossible to root or get Lineage. So can someone please do a guide for my problem please?

Lots of guides already.

It's the same process. Downgrade bootloader to unlockable version, unlock, flash TWRP, flash ROM, flash Gapps. Pays to read and search player.

I agree readling through all these threads its mass confusion. Some say it works with nougat some say it bricks there devices. Is there a simple one click root like wugfresh has with the nexus devices

Many guides explains very well. If you are unsure about what you are going to do with your device then my advice is that you stay on stockrom until you understand and know what you are up to.

Oh okay, let's just assume that you know what EDL mode, DFU mode, and FTM mode are. And that you know what happens if you get a DFU brick, what is the solution... Read a bunch of guides and help threads before doing anything, especially if this is your only phone or if you can't use the warranty

To be fair, there isn't a guide for using MiFlash to downgrade the device from Nougat to MM.
I'd suggest you look for the MiFlash download link in the Download Center sticky and then download the necessary MM ROM for your device.
From then on you can just follow a guide to unlock the bootloader using axon7tool and install twrp etc.

Very nice, but I think his problem is that he needs to downgrade to Marshmallow before he even attempts to unlock the bootloader.
I'm an A2017G user, not a 2017/2017U user, so it might be slightly different for you guys (didn't think it was?), but I believe that you can't unlock the bootloader if your device is already on Nougat, it must be downgraded first.

Yes you do need to downgrade, there's a toolkit that does everything for you and I believe it was mentioned a few times in this thread.

Downgrade 6.0.1 to 5x?

Ok, go easy on me.
Since the upgrade from Lollipop to 6 my verizon Samsung S5 was slower with lag but still bearable. However after today's security patch its so slow it's almost unusable. How can I force it back to Lollipop?
I know almost nothing about rooting/JB but willing to learn something new as long I don't brick it. I just don't understand the terms and risks and process. Where do I start?

Go into settings ->storage ->internal storage ->cached data, ->delete. Restart your phone. I assure you a newer version of Android is not the reason your phone is slowing down.

That was first thing I did, then booted in to save mode but neither made a difference. It was fine utill I accepted the update yesterday morning. After it installed it has been EXTREMELY slow. As i type this it lags on key presses. It was definitely the update.

It's impressive that on so many forums everywhere people decide they need to only give their own opinion of situations instead of answering original poster's questions.
While I'm also skeptical that an official update would be the cause such a massive slowdown on his phone, that's not really what he asked to be addressed, even if the answer may be obvious to some.

Unfortunately as your S5 has the Toshiba chipset (emmc of 11) there is no way to downgrade the firmware to Lollipop or KitKat. The bootloader is locked. You are out of luck unless you or someone else figures out an exploit.
You can start here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...t/rd-unlocking-galaxys-s5-bootloader-t3337909 This explains in a good bit of depth the current status of Verizon S5 bootloaders.
Other than that, just start searching and googling. It's probable that someone else has a similar issue as you. And like Rumsfield said, it's highly unlikely that an official update (which is what it sounds like you have) would be the cause of such a dramatic change in your phone's speed, so it would be worthwhile to investigate further. Have you deleted your dalvik/cache in the recovery? Have you done a hard reset? These are things you have to do before you blame the firmware, and if you have done already, it's a good idea to mention that in your original post so that you avoid unnecessary responses.
Good luck!

I have a very uneducated question to ask, don't or do The FOTA logs in the recovery menu contain all check values and patch notes old - new? Again bare with my lack of knowledge on this topic but if pushed ota and still in log can it be pulled although maybe enough info alone in log for aboot and other values as far a checks but can it be modified even with filler as what it looks like on a battery self check and re injected through command as OTA? Last question before I'm stone to death for being the forum idiot here...if something is odexed and after the patch now labeled an 8 digit number kinda like Cid or emmc or whatever the long as chipset number for instance has the another value as an I'd in the middle of it can it inturn be reversed so parameters are matched and verified and possibly editited? Thanks
---------- Post added at 07:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 PM ----------
Oh. Forgot to ask I didn't see a check after the
command: "/sbin/recovery" "--update_package=/cache/fota/update.zip" "--carry_out=open_fota" "--locale=en_us"
Is that a forced allowable command? The real last question and believe me I have searched threads with no luck but the mention of a dev phone and aboot.mdn
Is the recovery file system table
0/boot emmc/dev/block/platform/msm_sscc.1/by-name/boot (/dev/block/mmcblk0p15) 0
1/ ect...
2/ect..
If the 0 is a 1 would that turn any phone into dev phone or allowable options
And noticed the checks were against the chipset and matching verizon fw although att and tmo had 0 values if values were 1''s would that allow you to you the right matching chipset for att and it's fw tmo ect.. or even the 15mmc instead of the 11?

Ok so first your warranty is void (gone) also make sure you backup your phone like photos etc take screenshots of needed text messages also your phone has an 11 CID (I sadly have one to) Like you mentioned which is not unlockable so we have to go back to Lollipop to root and what do you get with root you get the ability to flash custom Touchwiz based roms anything aosp/cm/linage wont work because our bootloader is locked and there is no current exploit to unlock them there is alot of Touchwiz based roms available I added screen shots on how my S5 looks I'm running Alliance rom I have added the themes from an older version of Alliance rom and added Viper4arise Viper4arise is a really cool sound mod it gives you increddible sound there is also xposed framework now if your interested in rooting download the drivers http://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows extract the zip and run the exe then download odin from https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298975100 extract the zip and run odin now power off your phone and hold Volume Down + Home + Power then click Volume Up To Accept then plug your phone into your computer make sure it shows Up in Blue in the top left in Odin Should say something like "COM" now download https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298975100 that is your lollipop tar.md5 download that and extract the zip now click AP in odin and select that tar.md5 you extracted from the zip odin might freeze but its verifying the file once its verified click start this Should downgrade the phone now you might have to pull the battery if the phone wont boot afterwards (stuck on Red Verizon Screen) and boot into recovery by powering off the device (Pull the battery) and then Holding Volume UP + Home + Power untill you see "Recovery booting" in the top left now use the Volume buttons to scroll and power to select go Down to Wipe Data / Factory Reset and click power button once its highlighted now use Volume buttons to go Down to Yes and click Power to select it when it is finished click power when Reboot now is highlighted now root the phone using this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve.../testers-required-easier-root-method-t3561529 or this one https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370 if you ever need help you can Private Message me on XDA.
You can even go back to kitKat and safestrap will work But you have to root 5.0 First here is a guide I made https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...al/how-to-install-kitkat-lolipop-pb1-t3589151

understandable. no i usually have not ran into many problems before. as it has been years since i messed with these phones and decided to mess with them again alot has changed i updated one of them and was looking for a way back being it has the 11xxx toshiba chip. as far as replying to quote i have never posted before i just thought i was replying to thread or whatever but just glad i received a response lol. i was just curious i was looking in the recovery menu at the logs from the FOTA update that i accidentally accepted. noticed they were very detailed which i thought was unusual. Again very very detailed like source code or whatever the raw format is called and was curious if it could be pulled with an adb command. the second part was a shell script whatever excuse my ignorance when it comes to this but after they were ran they were checked/verified or whatever and showed values that must have been met, which lead me to ask about is there a way to use adb to unlock the boatloader as an update.zip? thanks

TWRP: v3.2.1: Custom Changes to Make it work Much Better: unofficial:

The Current Latest TWRP for the v10 H901, v3.2.1, done by TWRPbuilder, was missing many options and settings,
For the most part it worked, but screen settings was wrong, my device about overheated and I like to have my screen
blink off after 60 secs..
So I took the latest STOCK N source and used the twrpbuilder.jar file to create a device tree from the STOCK Recovery..
edited the device tree to allow everything to work like it should. then built TWRP, tested and works......
Downloads:
twrp_v3.2.1_recovery_pplus-H901_210180529.tar.xz​
NOTE:This is not a Flashable FILE, Make sure you extract it first: Its a ".img" file:
Device Source:https://github.com/LG-V10/v10_pplus-H901_TWRP_device

If anyone remembers me, I did hold on to my v10 this whole time.. but as I said before, the famous LG Bootloop got my V10, and LG fully Replaced it free of charge and it came back with Nougat, which means No root,
I seen that someone came up with root for it.. so I finally rooted it.. but needed to fix that twrp you all had....
also I sold my HTC10, after doing everything I could over there.. I got tired of HTC, and wanted to give LG another chance.. some say im crazy, but I love challenges..
anyhow I also bought a LG G6 for a good price....... and im not sure if I will get the g7 yet.. still going to wait a bit and see what happends.......
I just hope my freshly built TWRP seems to work better for you all that try it.......
Since I left v10 a while back, I also started a ROM, Yeah, PureFusionOS is mine.. I was main Founder of it......... with over 10k installs.
Dont believe me? Look for your self: https://stats.purefusionos.com/
We havent done much since last year.. but just now currently working on updates and kinda waiting on P.................
maybe I can bring it to this device.. who knows..

Nice to have you back!

LG removed the fastboot flash commands starting with mm, leaving us with an unlockable bootloader that we can do nothing with.
This is the only working twrp install for nougat. https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/general/root-h901-nougat-t3773942

I never said it wasn't. I was only explaining that LG removed the flashing commands from fastboot (they only left us with the unlock command and a few other non destructive commands (like getvar)), and that you will need to thoroughly read read read the thread I linked and follow the instructions to a T or you will run the risk of bricking your phone. LG really made it easy to brick this phone if you don't know what you are doing. That thread does state that you shouldn't brick, but if you don't get it right you'll have to flash the kdz (which is linked in another thread somewhere) to start over.

Please use the proper thread for help. This one is only for this build of twrp itself, the other one is for installing twrp. That is where people can help you with using the bootable FWUL usb flash drive img.

Why would you hide the twrp behind such a crazy filetype?

Once you have the other twrp installed (https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/general/root-h901-nougat-t3773942) boot to twrp and flash the twrp.img from this thread after you extract it from the .tar. The same way you would upgrade any twrp, so really no instructions needed. You could also substitute this .img in those instructions. Once you've rooted a few different kinds of phones some of these kinds of things will make sense to you and just become second nature. Don't get discouraged, you'll get it.

If your on any firmware above 10c LG only gave us the fastboot unlock command, the fastboot boot and fastboot flash commands have been removed. This has been stated many times and in many threads. It has also been stated before to use the proper threads for asking questions, which is one of the rules of xda.
This thread is for the development of this version of twrp.
Those of us that have been rooting since day 1 understand that every phone is different and rooting evolves with the tighter security from the oems. Many of us started with windows phones here on xda before Android was born, or nokia "smart" phones before that.

Honestly if you have to ask how to install twrp, I wouldn't recommend flashing it at all....
if you been doing this for years, then you would know that how to install it requires ROOT or some special way since this is the T-mo threads meaning H901,
BTW peepz, if you think gaining root for the v10 is a trick in its self, try the G6 way.. talk about risky business there.. by the same person..............
NOTE: that doesnt mean TRY the G6 way on the v10,
anyhow. you can flash twrp through your already made recovery or some app that has root......
I flashed this twrp through the recovery that I get when I used the ROOT method on latest ROM......................
I just didnt like the fact that half the options were missing........... I did do another build.. but I didnt release that yet on here.....
if anyone is still having issues, maybe I should upload the other build for you to try..

I'm not asking how to flash TWRP...I am asking hypothetical questions. Sorry to offend

See?

anyone ever try the klick it toolkit?

too bad that we couldnt downgrade to mm. that would be so much easier. lol

I just got hit with the infinite bootloop on my device unfortunately, and modified this twrp image to only use the little cluster: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=818222786056035329 . The cmdline additions are only: maxcpus=4 boot_cpus=0-3. Just in case anyone else wants it
Edit: given the prevalence of this bug, I'd honestly recommend people just keep a 4core twrp flashed on their device for if/when they run into it so it's easier to deal with.
