Title: How to BUMP files past a locked Bootloader
Post by: Killswitch on February 13, 2017, 09:00:23 am
  This one might be an even better secret for how to get past a persistent Tracfone Bootloader.  How does Team Codefire do this magic ?  Must be the Holy Grail of how to successfully bypass the Lock. Ryan, you must've used Bump on a few of your LG projects -  it appears as if Bump is a Tech trick for LG Androids only .  Damn -n !  NOBODY ( including Rocket Scientists ) will go all the way and try to compile a TWRP file specifically for the LG Destiny L21G .  I'm in sheer awe of how you were able to do it with the U2 and get it working par excellence !   It's virtually impossible without a  " think tank "  assisting toward achieving this goal.  Pros here in Philly look at me like I'm homosexual when I tell them what I need to do.  Makes me feel a little bit dirty like I need to shower.  Ryan, you MUST know how to Bump LG files past the Bootloader.  Gotta be one of the best internal secrets I've EVER seen. I understand Codefire went down and is now an afterthought .  My TWRP is flawed - won't Backup nor Restore.  We're way beyond Pro status at this point. This is purely Developmental.

 Wow-w !  This one's very darksided .  Found out about putting  Bump x64 on your Windows PC and, how to actually Bump image files across a locked Bootloader.  Went and put an ORIGINAL  TWRP 2.8.7.0 _c50.img  into the Bump  folder and, lo and behold, it will send you a  SIGNED version of the original .  Put the signed Disc Image onto a SD card - apprx. 11 MB's . Reloaded the SD card and,  Flashify sees the SD as  Boot.img.img   which means they added an extra extension because the work was done on my PC . This **** would chase anyone !  Flashify won't cooperate with an unknown file extension like img.img .  This is lunatic fringe !  How do you rise above the stuff that is out on the leading edge like this ?   I get this clear impression that first generation Lollipop is security QuickSand .  The work you've done lead to a almost flawless Ultimate2.  Ain'tnuthin that's gonna be antiseptic with this Destiny.  Just wish that there were more Members to escalate Destiny up the ladder.

I have BUMPed files before to no avail. Even bumping it won't make it work on the phone I have found. Android 5.0.0 would probably let me, but the update to 5.0.2 LG PT on it messes it up I think

 This is a goddamned comedy routine !  I've been a CET since credentials were first offered for the profession.  I'm Lollipop 5.0.1 and, I've cut down EVERY fence restricting me from putting TWRP on this god forsaken Destiny.  Every goddamned c50 image file will fail once Bumped forward. If TWRP had  a Forum,  I would be peeling the paint off their proverbial walls on this one .  They'll offer a gang of verbal support but, they know the truth better than anyone.  I honestly don't know how even yourself got TWRP for the U2 fully functional.  I've had tons of equipment in the past that I was unable to fix or restore.  For an unsupported LG,  you'll need Design Engineers to recompile the Code for the Leon to pair up to the Destiny. This SHOULD be easy but, wouldn't ya know it ?  It's f***ing impossible  !  I'm going to ass-ume that I've hit the wall. There's no support here anyways save yourself !  People looking to sponge off of your skillset.  Not me - I'm outta here !   Actually had a Tracfone Corporate member try to tell me that, since I'm GSM, that my issue begins/ends with ATT since it's their signal.   Oh, my Gawd ! I've gotta get away from this place.  This place is evil personnified.

Gotta admit,  this Devs stuff is starting to back up on me.  Actually tried to get the Unlock code from Tracfone ( to see how possible it was)  and, found that there is actually an Unlock Department out in the Philippines dedicated to doing this task since the FCC rulings last year.  If your cell is less than one year on account, these people won't give a stinking inch.  And, yelled back at me louder than myself.  WOMENwere yelling at me !   They must get an awful lot of unhappy clientele who just scream at them.  Getting the Code from the Internjet is a logistical impossibility, be it pay OR free.  Cannot be done !  This LGL 21G  is out in Death Valley for Devs. Nothing there !   This **** is really sick. All to install a TWRP Recovery module that works 100 %   I'll have to probably edit, recompile and repack a LEON file and , I'm getting nauseous.  I DO have all the Destiny Hardware specs and it shows up as a   y50   model . The Leon is, apparently also a  y50  but fits TWRP files as a  c50   model.  LikeI said, this **** would chase 20 of 20 men.  Totally counterproductive.

 This one's sheer madness.  In Capital letters.  There are Devs that have created  " exploits "  to bypass locked Bootloaders simply for the purpose of installing  TWRP  as their new foundation .  Are ya familiar with  LOKI  ?  Sure, ya are.  I'mcasually wondering if this vulnerability has been patched yet by the people who write Code.  This guy Dan Rosenberg was a f***cking genius !  Renamed the image with a  lok  extension and squeezed it thru the system. DOES work on LG cells ( but, there's a bin file you must add to get it to work )  Ryan, is this how you bypass locked Bootloaders on some LG's ? I've used EVERY conceivable trick with bumped/signed image files and, nothing but Secure Boot errors. I'm now VERY serious about this.  I'll go deep inside myself to fully exploit the LG Destiny 21G just on pride alone. And,  at that point, ya might wanna warn me off.  I've heaqrd that  Loki  actually patches the Kernel and,  if I need to do a Loki  exploit, I'll do it. How many Destiny units will get  Tested  into the ground on this one ?   I will need Testers.  Right there I hit QUICKSAND.  Nobody will wanna sweat the details on this one.
