Simple rooter

Open ehem opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

The root process for LGE V20 devices is rather complex. Need a tool to simplify the process for people who are scared off by the complexity.

Hey, can you share the complex method? Maybe I can help simplifying :)

The H990 needs a rebuilt kernel to work: https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/dirtysanta-h990-t3624296

The problem for fully automated rooting is needing to get to the "untrusted_app" context. For semi-automated rooting you can leave the user typing that one command into a terminal application. A major advantage of either is a tool could ensure an appropriately long wait is done at the fastboot step (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img pushes all the data to the phone and doesn't wait for the write to complete).
