A couple of people reported unsuccessful restores of an entire system. As I understood they were attempting to revert to an earlier backup of everything.

[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] ZDeuce2:
Just curious, because on these you have to back up everything, boot, system, data, cache, recovery, and efs partitions. On every other phone I've ever owned you didn't have to do efs, and recovery (not positive you have to have recovery, but it won't hurt to do it) but on these, efs is crucial.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] Andromendous:
Ok. Ya i just did system, data and boot. Will test this tomorrow. Thanks. Kinda odd though but oh well

Is it a bad thing to restore just system data boot? Would it damage anything?
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] Rydah:
Also, I don't compress my backups, if you do, that might be why.

I usually only restore those 3 or sometimes sometimes just system and boot if data is already there.

[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] ZDeuce2:
I know the efs on these is a pain in the ass, I lost it once on my note 3, and it took forever to figure it out, since then I always back it up, but everyone I've seen back up, restore and have problems, had no efs backup, and it worked once they did. As far as restores go, you can't harm the device, without doing all partitions, but if one gets wiped accidentally, or corrupted in some way, and you don't have the backup, then this happens. Recovery, cache, and efs only adds like 80mb to your backup size, an extra 10 seconds to be on the safe side... Worth it to me...

And I don't compress my backups either, never have, so I can't speak from the compressed side to any effects good or bad.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] Rydah:
I've never had efs problems but I also made a backup of mine first thing when I installed twrp

[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] jmichaels1982:
What happens is odd and never happened on any if the other phones I had.

I would have a really stable rom with all the xposed customization I have. I am taking about noname rom. I would back up system boot and data. Try another rom for example that I don't like then I would try to restore after erasing x 3 system data dalvik and cache. When ends up happening is the phone would boot but the screen is dark and non responsive to touch. I would have to reboot into recovery and install the rom again, just restore data and it would fire right up.

I thought it's because I am not mounting system when I an restoring (which is something I never did anyway in all my other phones) so tried it after mounting system and still no go
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] Goody68:
If Twrp is installed properly, you should only have to do a standard backup...System,Data,Boot! Ive done several backups and flashed a bunch of times aswell! No problems at all!!

And for those who want to boot directly into recovery without having to hold volume down/ power etc., download Power Menu from play store and open and grant su and you can boot directly into recovery;)
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] NYLimited:
Thanks, good info. I guess I'll have to try it myself and see what happens.

Yes, a god one. Another choice with additional options might be

Power Toggles

, also on the Play Store.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] Andromendous:
Im pretty sure i followed the directions exactly, maybe ill try again. As for getting into twrp, the only way i have found to get into it is with adb or with an app. I tried just using the buttons but it just asked me to do a factory reset. How do we get to it with just the buttons?

[MENTION=3505796]KAsp3rd[/MENTION] Hey brotha, know you got tons going on so no rush, but when you have a chance, please look into the device name. TWRP thinks it should be h901 (which would make sense) but our build.props actually are referring to themselves as pplus. IDK if thats something you can fix up or if I'm in the wrong area. Thanks bro. Hope all is well, or at least getting there.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] NYLimited:
[MENTION=3505796]KAsp3rd[/MENTION] - I'm just curious if you are planning on submitting your version to [MENTION=912474]Dees_Troy[/MENTION] / TWRP for official inclusion on their list.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] KAsp3rd:
IIRC the only way a device will get an official status is if the device is owned by own of those in the TWRP dev team.

This is something I can change, I just used the codename instead of the model when I created the device tree. I'll push a small incremental update when I get some time

That is for installing the needed adb and fastboot drivers. After you have completed this you need to then follow the directions in the OP to install recovery.

I know there were questions referring to encryption I am working on getting encryption together for our model when I get some time. it is supported just have to find the right files needed for keymaster
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] NYLimited:
No problem. I thought I read something on the TWRP G+ Community that you can submit your mods to the official list.

Hope all's okay with the family.

[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] Andromendous:
That is for a quick reboot option. I am talking about a way to turn off the phone, then hold volume up or something while powering on to get into twrp. I tried holding volume down and power then releasing power but it just asks for a factory reset. It never takes me to twrp
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] NYLimited:
Power Toggles has a soft-power button in the notification area which will give you options to power down or reboot or reboot into bootloader.

The other app mentioned I don't know - I have not used it.

Power menu in app store... See pic;) Reboot into recovery is rebooting into twrp!

Man im trying to get into twrp when the phone is off. No computer or app
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] Goody68:
Hold volume down and power and LG splash screen will appear...wait till it goes off and on again, release power for a quik moment and press power again...it will take you to a factory reset, hit yes and next screen yes and that will boot into twrp;)

Edit: And it will say it will erase data and factory reset, but it wont...it will just boot you into twrp!
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] Andromendous:
Thank you, thank you. Exactly what i needed to know. Thank you.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] Goody68:
You're welcome sir;)
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] ZDeuce2:
Select yes on factory reset screen, it takes you to twrp, it won't do a factory reset.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] KAsp3rd:
Working on another minor update as I don't usually encrypt my device I actually need input from users. How much encryption do you use? Full device, internal memory, external sdcard? (I need to encrypt my device the same as y'all to test)

Also the time/date will most likely never be correct I can get the time right but the date will always be in 1970 (don't think you want that). A couple things I will try with that to get it as close as I can but I cannot promise anything.

I have a couple backups on my device that I have only restored the boot.img from so I'll do a full backup and restore to check that issue as well.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] ZDeuce2:
I don't encrypt, so can't speak on that, and I usually rename my backups anyway, so the time is no big deal for me... Jim

I know it's on the first page (or at least I think I know, which is why I'm asking) but I just wanna make sure I'm right before jumping into unlocking my T-Mobile bootloader. If mine is locked, the steps to unlock it are in the OP, right? the part where it says "if bootloader is locked:" then I have to enter those commands? Did I get everything right here?
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] KAsp3rd:
Thank you

Yes you are correct

Okay, so I took the plunge and unlocked and rooted my V10. Im coming from a Galaxy S6, I've only had Nexus devices previous to that. Before I go crazy, has anyone actually made and restored a nandroid, and is there a TWRP flashable stock ROM?

Does this go for it you dont have TWRP but still have stock recovery installed? Or will it actually factory reset if you still have stock recovery, anyone know?
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] KAsp3rd:
Yes, if you do not TWRP it will factory reset your device.

Factory reset is kind of a false statement though as a true factory reset would need to take into account any changes made to any directory under /; However it simply wipes all user data from the device therefore if you had made changes to /system [i.e. root] then the changes will still be there upon "factory reset"
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] Rydah:
I've been wondering, what does it take to build a twrp version? I'm interested in just knowing. Lol I've been wanting to experiment with it and also change the device name from h901 to pplus also. Ha-ha

On a side note, hope your daughter is doing better. ?

In developer options, you have USB debugging and enable OEM unlock checked. You may also have to go into storage settings and mess with mtp setting.

[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] Angel0fDeath:
This worked for me. Thanks ;)
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] NYLimited:
At the moment I do not encrypt but would like to consider that option at a later time. I can certainly live without it. Just sayin'

They were, of course, both wrong. Annoying but what the hey...

One small thing - I let it do a backup and the screen timed out. When I came back tapping the screen did not wake it as it usually does with TWRP. No biggie, just wanted to mention it.

I too will try a restore before I put too much on the device but it'll have to wait a bit. On the way out..
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] NYLimited:
I did another full backup of all partitions (except cache and recovery) followed by a full restore of the same partitions. This correctly formatted /system before restoring so a problem, if any, would surely show up.

Booted just fine after the full restore.

I did NOT attempt to restore individual partitions on this test.

Not sure why some have had issues but this one went flawlessly (except for the need to rename the backup set).
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] NYLimited:
Interesting stuff. While the date of the backup set is not correct it does follow some (to me unknown) pattern. The year is always correct and somehow the actual date in the year progresses based on some things. Note these backups taken today (December 11) and yesterday (December 10):

​

The date is incremented based on something though I could not say what or how.. :confused:

[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] NYLimited:
Cute! I should have looked there but December doesn't offer me a lot of spare time. :( Anyway, you have probably already seen this info (I can't recall offhand where it came from) but on the small chance you haven't seen it:

There are 2 files in /data/time/ called "ats_1" and "ats_2" that have the offset in milliseconds as a 64-bit unsigned integer. Pick one or the other, get the human-readable output trim off the last three digits, and this should give you the offset within a second I think. I don't know if you can navigate to this folder from TWRP as I really have not looked at any of the code before but it is worth a thought.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] KAsp3rd:
That's already implemented in TWRP
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] NYLimited:
A day late and a dollar short, eh? I'm used to it.. :D

Anyway, the directory used to be different in AOSP implementations of 5.x from LG's directory as I seem to (vaguely) recall. Been a while (sigh).
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] NYLimited:
I have now completed several backups and restores. Did both, full restores and selected partitions only.

Other than the known issue of the dates all worked well, as expected!

Thanks for your efforts!

can you help me with this please, I read and try for hours before asking, but have had no luck I already unlock the bootloader, developer options enable OEM unlock and usb debugging also I using the fastboot oem unlock and also I can send the reboot command when the phone boot in bootloader but I cant flash the twrp:crying: I rename fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.1-h901.img to fastboot flash recovery recovery.img I try with both but nothing, I have android studio installed

A very strange thing I can only send commands when the phone its USB PTP but doest work if I have MTP:confused::confused: I try for hours but my skills whit the ADB fastboot are very bad:eek::silly:
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] NYLimited:
Where is the SuperSU file and what is the exact name on PC?

What exactly happens when you try to flash it? Any messages?

Since you are typing the fastboot command on the PC, presumably in a cmd window, the image file must be in the folder you are in or you need to specify the correct path. If you can see the image file when doing a dir you are fine. Or, if you need to type /folder/imagefile.img to see it you need to tell fastest the very same thing.

adb show me that:confused:

the twrp file its my download files in my pc and also in internal storage on my phone
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] parusia:
You have to open command in the same folder where you get your TWRP image. In your case is inside the download folder.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] NYLimited:
Okay, you said that fastboot is working. I am assuming that to be correct since you unlocked. You can see your device if you type "fastboot devices" in a DOS window, correct?

In order to illustrate I created a folder on my PC called "DOWNLOADS". It is located under the root of my G: drive. The path for this folder on my system is

G:\DOWNLOADS

If it was in a folder called WORK the path would become

G:\WORK\DOWNLOADS

This is what it looks like on my machine:

[IMG="This is what it looks like on my machine"]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/38461933/timage1.jpg[/IMG]

Note that the TWRP image file is in that folder and, like you said, I made a copy of it as recovery.img In order for fastboot to find the file you can do one of 2 things.

You can simply specify the location of your file on the fastboot command line. In my example this would like like this:

fastboot flash recovery g:\downloads\recovery.img

Alternately, you can change to the drive and folder in the CMD window on the PC like this:

[IMG="Windows CMD window"]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/38461933/timage2.jpg[/IMG]

Note that the DIR command shows both image files in the folder above. Now you can issue the command without the path:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Did this help any?

Exactly! ;)

I'm also having issues restoring twrp backups, I restored all partitions and got system f.c. at reboot, my solution was to re flash the rom (in my case its the No-NaMe ROM base installer) then i restored my data backup only and it worked, the only thing was that l had to flash xposed again.

I'm thinking that maybe the people who had 100% success restoring backups didn't have xposed installed.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] NYLimited:
For the record, my restores had no problems at all and I do NOT have xposed installed..

I have been trying to install twrp on my new lgv10. I have oem unlocked and I did the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and then "fastboot boot recovery.img". This boots up twrp recovery, but when I reboot and go back to recovery with "adb reboot recovery" it shows me the fastboot instructions again. How can I get twrp to stay as my recovery?
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] Apache0c:
This happened to me also. I just replaced the command adb to fastboot. In otherwords, fastboot reboot recovery. That did it and everything works perfectly. Super SU and Quickboot included. Quickboot recovery button sends me right into TWRP and flashing zip's works like a charm. Let me know if this fixes it for you. There is also a 1-click root tool now too.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] shotguns10:
I tried it and it said waiting for device so I stopped it. After that I tried adb reboot recovery and it worked. Either I'm an idiot or it randomly decided to work.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] agrenwa:
I was finaly able to pinpoint whats causing the twrp restore issues for me, its associated with the rom I was using, the No-NaMe ROM and the Modded System that you can install from this rom. the base installer from this rom has no issues with restoring twrp backups the only times you will have restore issues is when installing No-NaMe ROM plus his Modded System and then backing up this will cause restore issues, so what i did was install his base installer only then setting up the phone the way I like with all apps and all my xposed mods etc. now I made a twrp backup and did a full restore and all is back the way it was, now you can go ahead and install his modded system. I will now report this issue in that rom so maybe the dev can address it.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] SPHM900:
so i have the [ROM] LG V10 H901-10c Debranded, Debloated, Deodexed ROM - Clean & Stable by siraltus, and i used this guide to flash twrp. i dont have acess to my external sd card. it doesnt work with any sd card i have, and i have already tried reflashing recovery...someone help? is it possible that the swap partition on my SD card is causing issues?
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] NYLimited:
No access as in cannot read or write? Or is it write prohibited?
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] SPHM900:
No read or write. However it was because the swap partition was before the far file. Wiped one of my cards and it read after that. Used aparted app to flash and after using sd to create a system backup in recocery. I transfered the xposed zip over MTP and flashed it. sd card had to be formatted to mount after reboot

I realize I'm kinda on a different topic here but bear with me.

When the phone booted, it was as if I wiped the dalvik (i didnt), however I don't think the zip applied. I can't use any xposed tweaks. Again the SD card (including the backup of my system without the xposed zip and the zip itself) was unreadable afterwards.

Any help here? One problem kind of just lead into the next haha. I coped the version of the framework from this thread, and got an xda direct download from google.

Edit

Should prob post this on the ROM thread, but I got this one from an email, and just kinda unloaded hahaha. Will take Care of this in the AM.
