In this post i am going to write about How to Root LG v10 H901 Android 7.0 Nougat, But before start root process for LG v10 you must have bootloader unlocked on your LG v10. So if you are confused or don’t know how to unlock bootloader on LG phones you should first reed How to unlock Bootloader on LG v10 artical. If you deviate from this procedure, and think: “I can just skip a step, or I can do this on my own Linux install”. Don’t complain if you brick your phone.
PREREQUISITES:
You need to download FWUL (version 2.7 or later) and burn it to a USB stick: link
Even if you have Linux, and you think you can install the dependencies, don’t. I know this works from FWUL.
PROCEDURE PART 1: Installing TWRP
Boot from your FWUL USB stick. If your PC has secureboot enabled, you will have to disable it in BIOS
Put your phone into download mode. By turning it off, hold vol up and plug in the USB cable. You do not need to touch the power button — the phone will power on and enter download mode.
Once booted successfully to FWUL, Login to FWUL. The password is: linux
Double click the LG folder can be found on the desktop
Double click on LG LAF (runningnak3d) icon and you will be at a terminal prompt.
Execute the following commands in terminal one by one. You can copy / paste them if you like.
Code:
git pull
git checkout v10-miscwrte
./step1.sh
When you are told to, pull the USB cable, and the phone will power off. You have TWRP installed now. At this point you can flash a ROM, or Magisk or whatever you like using TWRP.
OPTIONAL:
If you don’t know what to do with TWRP, and you just want to run rooted stock, this is for you….
First boot into TWRP – with the phone off, hold vol down and power at the same time. The second the LG logo appears, release power for a split second, then then press and hold power again (you never let go of vol down).
When you get a screen asking you to factory reset, you can let go of both buttons. hit vol down to select yes — two times — this will take you to TWRP.
PROCEDURE PART 2: Rooting and cleanup
Now when you are in TWRP enter command below via terminal:
Code:
./step2.sh
If you ran step2.sh you have TWRP on recovery, and you are rooted. If you only ran step1.sh, then you have TWRP on recovery. Either way, enjoy! Subscribe via Email and Social Media for more.

How to Remove FRP via ADB Command: ADB and Fastboot are arguably two of the most indispensable tools used when working with Android devices. If you really want to modify, debug, and tweak along with their countless uses in rooting, and other procedures ADB and Fastboot are a must for any Android device owner.
Typically if you want to install ADB and Fastboot you have to download and setup the Android SDK (If you really want to learn about Android Development I highly recommend downloading and installing the full Android SDK from here), but this can be unnecessary for people who just want to install ADB and Fastboot.
What is ADB?
ADB is short name for Android Debug Bridge a very useful program made itself by Google for Programmers and developers. Its based on command line and basically communicates with your Android to respond to certain commands. There is vast amount of knowledge about ADB but its most useful commands limit to getting
Logcat:
A real time log of what is happening in background of our devices. It is really useful for developers to see which component has malfunctioned and helps to narrow down their search for what failed and what needs to be fixed. Several times users are asked to give logcats of their devices which are giving errors. We will go in detail that how to get logcats in every and easiest way possible.
App Installation and Management:
adb proves really handy if you want to install apks directly from your PC or want to batch install or delete them.
Shell Execution:
You must have heard of Terminal Emulator. It is an app for android to execute shell commands (linux commands) which are basically present as applets in /system/bin, /system/sbin or /system/xbin(in our case) folders. A very important applet called busybox is installed there mainly used for execution of basic commands during root browsing or ROM installation. Many times updater script of ROMs use busybox commands to install it. Well, these commands can be initiated from your device too but they can be initiated from adb also making it easy for programmers.
Pushing and Pulling:
Most used commands of adb. adb makes it a piece of cake for new device developers to get an idea of structure and basic knowledge of devices by pulling command. We can pull out i.e copy any files or folders from our devices to our PC, even the root directories without rooting the devices. It help rooters and ROM chefs of new devices to get an idea and implement their mods on them. Pushing is also very useful command. It copies your files and folders from PC to your device. Very useful in pushing some /system apps and other things
Remounting and setting permissions
Basic commands:-
Of-course basic commands such as rebooting and rebooting in recovery mode and download mode are supported.

Samsung is leader in Smartphone manufacturer’s list these days so most of people who using Android Smartphone are using Samsung Galaxy phones. In this post we going to discuss about how to find correct Samsung combination file? because of Samsung combinations firmware help us to fix Samsung mobile phone problems related to security, like adb access, reading and writing efs, qcn etc.
Samsung combination firmware is also a life saver for Samsung phone that won’t being activated due to FRP (factory reset protection) due to less in-secure / less secure operating system. after flashing combination firmware on Samsung.
Selecting Correct Samsung Combination firmware:
But this is also a very important to us to use correct combination on Samsung Galaxy phones. I am going to write a guide that can help you to understand which combination firmware match with your Samsung phone.
How to match combination file with installed official firmware?
Reboot your Samsung Galaxy phone into Recovery mode and note installed firmware name in your Samsung Galaxy. for example you have Samsung S7 Edge with this firmware “8.0.0/R16NW/G935FXXS3ERKE” and you are going to match Combination file for it, You will match binary first. You can find more details about Samsung firmware name details below.
In this Samsung S7 EDGE firmware G935FXXS3ERKE we have 3 as binary version. Don’t worry about S3, and U3 we can flash both firmware. You will have combination file name like “COMBINATION_FA60_G935FXXU3ARI2” that will be compatible with your phone. Samsung combination firmware can help us in lots of ways, like hardware tests that are not available on Samsung official firmware, Servicing purpose, removing FRP (Factory reset Protection) etc.
If you are Samsung galaxy user and you have forget your Google account password and unable to recover your “Google Account that was previously synced on this device” and you have done a factory reset using Home + VOL UP + Power Button (hardware buttons) from recovery menu and your phone asking for Google Account that was previously synced on this device, this is due to frp (factory reset protection) then you can flash combination firmware to remove frp.
Samsung S9 combination firmware “COMBINATION_OXM_FA80_G960FXXU2ARG2” is being discussed in this guide and i will try to make a diagram for better understanding. You read more about what information we can get from Samsung firmware file name and how to matched combination for Samsung. don’t go away!
Difference Between Samsung Firmware and Combination:
Samsung combination firmware (Samsung factory binary) and Samsung official firmware both are being provided in similar file names with little difference. Samsung combination firmware is being provided for repair purpose at Samsung service and Samsung official firmware for normal usage for Smartphone users.
How to Know Samsung firmware details from file name:
To check version, date, android version from Samsung Combination file see example below. We can see understand CSC build, Android version, Phone model, Binary version, firmware release date and revision from Samsung combination firmware file name.
OXM=CSC build = [OXM]
FA80=Android version = [Android 8]
G960F=Phone model = [G960F]
XXU2= Version and security BIT = [XXU,BIT2]
ARG2= Date of release and revision = [July 2018, revision 2]
