LGLAF.py

LGLAF.py is a utility for communication with LG devices in Download Mode. This allows you to execute arbitrary shell commands on a LG phone as root.

Requirements

LGLAF.py depends on:

• Python 2.7 or 3: https://www.python.org/
• (Recommended) PyUSB: https://walac.github.io/pyusb/

Tested with:

• LG G3 (D855) on Arch Linux.

Usage

This tool provides an interactive shell where you can enter commands and see a response. Example use:

(venv)[peter@al lglaf]$ ./lglaf.py
LGLAF.py by Peter Wu (https://lekensteyn.nl/lglaf)
Type a shell command to execute or "exit" to leave.
# pwd
/
# uname -a
-: uname: not found
# cat /proc/version
Linux version 3.4.0-perf-gf95c7ee (lgmobile@LGEARND12B2) (gcc version 4.8 (GCC) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Aug 18 19:25:04 KST 2015
# exit

When commands are piped to stdin, the promps is hidden:

(venv)[peter@al lglaf]$ echo mount | ./lglaf.py

(venv)[peter@al lglaf]$

Or if you are on Windows and have LG drivers installed:

> reg query HKLM\hardware\devicemap\SERIALCOMM
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\hardware\devicemap\SERIALCOMM
    \Device\Serial0         REG_SZ  COM1
    \Device\LGANDNETMDM0    REG_SZ  COM3
    \Device\LGANDNETDIAG1   REG_SZ  COM4
> lglaf.py --serial COM4
