Hello guys!
This great phone has not seen a lot of love recently. I was recently in need of the 12A rooted system.img and I could not find it anywhere online.
I've tried dumping the system.img via DD, but I believe my mistake came from using the LS996 dd command. When trying to inject root, it could not mount the image. After some deep diving, turned out that the image had no partition table ( maybe because the LS996 dd command was used ).
Not giving up, I got the 12A kdz, extracted it using WindowsLGFirmwareExtract-1.2.5.0, and merged all the system files to get the clean system.img from there. That system image went through without issues, but I cannot test it, due to the fact that I do not have the phone with me anymore. If someone is interested testing it, please give me the output of the following 2 commands ( in download mode ):
cat /proc/partitions
ls -l /dev/block/platform/f9824900.sdhci/by-name
That is needed so we will know the right memblock for the rootedsystem.img to be flashed on.
