Hot the windows button, in the run window type 'cmd'. That will let you run terminal.

No problem bro, we will get you going.

Sorry, misread what you typed. As long as you are in Terminal you are fine. You just aren't in the right directory to get adb running. Cd to whatever directory you have sdk installed. Or reinstall it from the link I gave you, which gives you the option to run it system wide, no need to worry a out directories then.

I'm not sure that shortcut actually work in XP. You can however take this snippet and paste it in a folder where you have the download or the adb installation path.

Title it something like openHere.bat so you'll know what it is.

cd /d %~dp0
cmd.exe

Then double click it or right click run as administrator

Ok. Thank you. I'll give this a try when I get home.. I'll post my results.. Thank you very much
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] KAsp3rd:
If you only installed adb locally then make sure you create the file where the adb binary is installed and copy the twrp.img there as well.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] webfrm:
Need updated binary

OK haven't flashed a new recovery for a device since my G3 (sad to let it go) and I don't know where to get the latest fastboot binaries. I have the binary used in PurpleDrake but I am sure that is old. Any clue where to get the latest fastboot binaries?

Hi will this method work for LG V10 Dual Sim LTE H961N?
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] KAsp3rd:
I built this specifically for the H901. Is the boot loader for the H961 unlocked?
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] tenchi0205:
Not sure, I planning to buy the HK dual sim version V10. Now come here to check if it get root or not before I make the purchase.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] KAsp3rd:
I can tell you that this method will not work with anything that is not the H901. If the H961 is boot loader unlocked then I might be able to make a version that would work.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] tenchi0205:
Ok Thanks for the advice...hope the H961's boot loader get unlock soon...

But this H901 not working in my region...

[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] psycho1:
Ok I've got much further now. I had to download a patch from Windows for xp to open a command prompt in a folder. Then I had to go to the g4 forum and download the drivers from there. The ones that were linked were not working for me. now it sees my phone in terminal and I can reboot into boatloader. When I give it the command to unlock boot loader nothing happens it just sits there and says waiting for devices. It's late I'll mess with it more tomorrow. Just wanted to say thank you for helping get me this far.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] Warrior1975:

If no devices are attached you need fastboot usb drivers. You can try the drivers I posted in that link I posted and follow the fast boot directions.

It does but it does not give instructions on how to properly install twrp. Ive read a few quotes saying you need to flash twrp while in twrp but the supplied trwp file is a .img and to flash in twrp you need a .zip dont you?
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] KAsp3rd:
You install twrp by running fastboot flash recovery twrp_2.7.8.1-h901.img then fastboot boot twrp_2.7.8.1-h901.img also you can flash an img file from within twrp if you select to install then select the bottom right button while searching for a file it will toggle between zip and img

[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] Warrior1975:
Makes sure recovery image is in right directory. Also, what are you typing?

Sent from my LG-H901 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] swimm12984:
Make sure you didn't move the file to the root directory of the phone (as fast boot is being run from your pc not your phone). Whatever folder you are running fastboot from, make sure you also have the TWRP image in that folder. On the computer

To clarify:

twrp-2.8.7.1-h901.img goes in whatever directory you have fastboot.exe located in ON YOUR PC

SuperSU's zip file however would go in the root directory OF YOUR PHONE.

Also, you should be entering the following command line from the fastboot directory:

fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.1-h901.img

Mac Users Try This

I was able to get it to work pretty easily on my MacBook pro.

I followed the instruction here. (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31374085/installing-adb-on-mac-os-x) to get adb installed. Then I was able to run the adb commands as it installs adb in the path:

1. ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" (installs Brew)

2. brew install android-platform-tools

I followed the instructions in the OP. Of note is that when I typed in adb devices, I got the following:

Kwests-MacBook-Pro$ adb devices

List of devices attached

LGH901351b4270	unauthorized

In order to get around that you have to go back in the developer options and click the following:

"Revoke USB debugging authorization"

(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23081263/adb-android-device-unauthorized)

After that:

Kwests-MacBook-Pro$ adb devices

List of devices attached

Everything else should work as posted.

adb is on my phone?
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] rsr911:
You asked how to get into recovery from a computer correct? You need adb installed on your computer. The Nexus toolkit is the best place to get it. You also need the LG USB drivers. Then go into the directory where you have adb from the command line and run the code. Something like this:

C:\Nexus Tool Kit\data\adb reboot recovery

IIRC NTK puts adb in it's data directory. I've done it from a windows PC, a windows VM on a Linux host, and on a Linux PC.

[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] Warrior1975:
It actually factory reset your phone? I know it says it will, but from my understanding that's only if you have factory recovery installed. You can also boot to recovery using an app, ROM toolbox pro, quick boot etc. That's what I do, it's easier than button combos.

Installed twrp

flashed SU

I am trying to flash this recovery but having trouble. I can reboot to the bootloader via adb. I have unlocked the bootloader via adb. I have restarted the bootloader as directed.

[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
The file needs to be in the folder that you issue the command from, not where adb resides. For example, if you issue the command in the terminal from your home folder, the file should be in your home folder.

In the OP instructions it mentions the fastboot boot command. Is that there as an option in case you just wanna flash something but keep the stock recovery? That would be nice if the bootloader supports that, in case you just wanna flash su or something but not hassle with flashing recoveries

Did you install all of the required drivers? Adb, fastboot, and LG G4?

If you follow the first post there are links to install the drivers, easiest way is to install adb and fastboot as system wide so you don't have to worry about which directory you are on while using your computer.

Once you install the drivers, open up terminal on the computer and type adb devices. It should respond with lg v10, followed by some numbers. Also, once you plug the USB cable into computer and your phone, there will be a message on your phone, just allow it to communicate with the computer.
