Added this manual guide to go back to recovery on post #3

[MENTION=2599775]windhoarse00[/MENTION]

1. Just reboot system and setting up your app, so you can back up your stock Rom later on while you back in recovery.

2. Check Usb debugging and Oem unlock on developer option.

3. Copy your extracted KlicKiT folder to another folder and delete install.bat and twrp.img.... Keep all adb and fastboot tool only.

4. Hold Shift and right click .... Open cmd command here ..... Plug your phone to pc.

5. Enter "adb reboot recovery" command without the quote sign. It should take your phone back into recovery.

5. Back up your stock Rom just incase u need to go back to stock and flash SuperSU to root your phone.

6. Install 3minit rebooter from play store or any rebooter app to go back to recovery.

Or u can follow [MENTION=2663474]kompheak[/MENTION] guide to enter recovery manually.

The manual way by holding Power/Vol Down and let go and push again which I know works on the G4 when I had it is not working the V10. Someone else can try it confirm but does not work on my phone.

I download a couple of the apps to test and these don't work either. I get the Android guy laying on back with a red Triangle over it ? Should I run the Tool again I flashed siraltus rom after running the tool 1st time . Thanks
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] ted77usa:
[MENTION=5299898]BDestroyer8418[/MENTION]

All rebooter app required root permission. Look like to me that you lost twrp recovery after installed siraltus rom... If you able to reboot to system and plug your phone to pc..... Check oem unlock and usb debugging and try to run the KlicKiT tool again or use adb fastboot command to flash recovery twrp.img
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] BDestroyer8418:
I did the fastboot command and it seems to be working now will check some more.

What it seemed to do was not really Install TWRP but only let me use it by running the tool. If I were to reboot it couldn't find it. I guess that little dead android with red triangle is a screen for stock recovery or something. I was just able to hold the Power and Vol Down or pull battery and boot back up to the rom installed but looks like fastboot did the trick.

So I decided to take the plunge and see if your toolkit would wipe my phone again since I already have my bootloader unlocked and it DIDN'T!!

It gave me two errors when trying to unlock the bootloader. After those two tries the screen went black for a second (and I had a mini heart attack), it went to the TWRP screen. After that I did a backup and flashed SU :)

Thanks again for this toolkit!!

Sorry to interject with newbie questions, but I think these will be easy to answer.

I'm coming to the v10 from a Nexus 6. This looks like a great phone and I chose it over the newer Nexus primarily for the expandable storage. This push to use the cloud for everything really pisses me off.

Anyway, I am still on my rooted N6 running Pure Nexus ROM. I definitely want root access on the new v10. Should I root it before activation or activate then root? I do know that I want to root before I have any data to lose. I'm not sure if rooting first will affect my ability to activate the phone (on Ting.) Any advice appreciated...

Also, if I install a custom ROM, do you all expect development to continue so that I'll be able to update (to MM, for example)? Or would you recommend sticking with stock for the updates?

Thanks for creating this tool - looks like it will simplify things quite a bit!
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] ted77usa:
[MENTION=6266774]drylightning[/MENTION]

When you unlock your bootloader that's when wipe your phone data. In order to root u need a Custom Twrp recovery. In order to install custom recovery u need to unlock your bootloader. So everything connected.....either way it would wipe your phone data. Unless your phone unlocked Bootloader straight out from the box.

Different people have different preference, I actived mine first since I'm using it on ATT network. Used to, I rooted it first before active my SIM card coz I've to deal with att locked BootLoader all the time so we have to find another route to root or bypass the bootloader or safestrap if u heard about it.

As far as Android 6 MM I'm sure when it come to our device, developer would working on it.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] b14ckd34th:
so when i booted into twrp and tried to wipe dalvik and cache it fails every time. gives me an error that it couldnt mount the storage..

where did i go wrong.?
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] ted77usa:
[MENTION=2551199]b14ckd34th[/MENTION]

Try click on mount option first on twrp and then mount your sd card see if that work.... I wiped dalvik and cache every time without any problem.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] drkknight74:
Stuck

Edit: Nevermind... I definitely forgot to enable USB debugging...everythings good now.

Whenever I try to use the .bat file It just hangs up on this screen: CMD. I've installed the drivers correctly because in device manager it shows up as "V10" under portable device. Any suggestions?
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] wadamean:
I can't get past the fastboot part. It stays saying wait for device. Adb commands the program gives work but nothing happens once it boots to fastboot. Please help. I appreciate it.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] ted77usa:
[MENTION=4711713]wadamean[/MENTION]

Just pull your battery to go back to OS and make sure u enable USB debugging on developer option.... And get the LG v10 driver that I posted with the KlicKiT tool.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] wadamean:
I have done so and still same problem persists weirdly.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] ted77usa:
[MENTION=4711713]wadamean[/MENTION]

Try changing your usb cable.... Make sure to use original usb cable. Btw what window version are u on ? Win 7 are the easier one..... Win 8 or win 10 sometime have a problem. Try using friend computer and see if working.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] wadamean:
Will try that in using different cables. I was using the oem cable that came with the v10. I'm on 8 or 8.1 64bit windows

Found out issue. That the fastboot driver was not working and needed to reinstall it manually for the usb port
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] ted77usa:
[MENTION=4711713]wadamean[/MENTION]

[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] MrEpic:
First off, pardon my ignorance for i feel like such a noob! I have been rooting phones for a few years now but they have only been sammy devices and a lg g3. The s3 was on sprint and the g3 was on verizon. I am not use to bootloaders and what not. I only recently switched to tmobile because i wanted this phone that damn bad! I am now ready to root and even though this method seems easy, of course i would make it hard! I believe i am stuck on the "Fastboot mode" screen. That is where it stops. What am i suppose to do after this? Also, i can not write inside of my command prompt but seems like i don't have to with this method. Another thing is i think something else might me slightly wrong because in one of the last steps it stated "if drivers are installed correctly i should see my device id." Unfortunately i dont see it and dont know where to look for it. I hope i explained everything correctly. Thank you all for your time, patience, and friendly response in advance! Happy rooting!
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] ted77usa:
[MENTION=4181800]MrEpic[/MENTION]

Pull your battery off to get you back into system.... Make sure u follow installation guide on post#3.Enable usb debugging.. Use original usb cable and try to uninstall your driver and installing the provided driver that I posted. So when everything correctly installed, it should show your Device ID with bunch of number and make sure you check allow usb debugging verification on your phone screen to tell you that the driver install correctly. Then u can process to the next step which is click on install.bat ..... And let the tool reboot your phone into fastboot mode and unlocking your bootloader and install twrp recovery. Let me know how it work or if you have anymore question.

To check if you have driver install correctly u could hold shift and right click ..... Open cmd command here and it would open cmd window.... Plug your phone ....then type "adb devices" without the quote sign....If your Device ID show up and asking to verification for usb debugging then u always allow it, then u should good to go to click on install.bat
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] MrEpic:
Thank you for your timely response. Well first, i am running Windows 7 home premium and 64 bit for starters if that helps. But weirdly, i do remember when i tried to do this the first time, the prompt did come up for me to allow verification on my phone but now it doesnt. Also, i dont know if it matters, but when you say click on "install.bat".....my folder only has the word "install". Is that important? Also, i deleted and installed your drivers, reinstalled your drivers, and rebooted my computer. Now, as i mentioned before, im not getting the prompt and as soon as i click on "install", my phone is going straight to the fastboot mode screen.

I just checked post #2 download link it's all good... I dunno where u get the files from or maybe corrupted. Also check Q10 from FAQ stickies on Q&A section for MD5 tool checker to make sure u get the same file as my file.

[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] MrEpic:
Update: Just woke up to get back at it and i just noticed that when i extracted the file... None of the files were followed with a ".". Strangest thing i have encountered since i started rooting phones.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] ted77usa:
[MENTION=4181800]MrEpic[/MENTION]

Take a picture of the extracted file from your pc... Or try download the KlicKiT from your phone ....then move the file to your pc using usb media.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] MrEpic:
Wow that's genius.. I might have thought of that if it wasnt 2 in the morning lol. When i get off of work, ill just move the file over via usb media and im sure ill be fine after that. But just to be sure, afterwards... Ill just boot into recovery and flash the su huh? Amazing how i feel like a noob just from switching carriers! But thanks for yalls help and ill keep yall posted! Wish me luck cause i really hate ads.. I need this in my life!
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] ted77usa:
If everything good you would end up on twrp recovery. And just make sure you have SuperSU.zip on your external.sd card So you can flash it while you on recovery coz u would need it later on to install any rebooter app that required root permission to go to recovery. I used 3minit rebooter app..... Goodluck and let me know how it go.[emoji106]
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] Exconvict:
I unticked allow oem and relocked the bootloader. It wont boot, says error message. Would it be safe to say I'm boned?
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] joeminati:
Is unlocking the bootloader reversible?
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] MrEpic:
Sooooo that idea....amazingly enough did not work!!! I downloaded the file onto my phone, moved the zip folder to computer and unzipped it. No ".bat". Then i just used my phone to unzip it, looked inside the folder and saw the "intall.bat" but when i move the file to my computer...im back to just "install." Why me!!!!!????? Any other suggestions? I have attached what it looks like when i either transfer the file from my phone or try to unzip it with computer. Different method, same result.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] ted77usa:
Hmmmm....did u try click on instal and see what happen? Since u have all driver installed correctly.

[MENTION=6434543]Exconvict[/MENTION] [MENTION=2234609]joeminati[/MENTION]

This tool are made to unlock BL and install twrp.... If u guys are trying to relock then u should use fastboot command "fastboot oem lock" without quote sign and make sure u do have all stock system,boot and recovery before you relock..... Check FAQ Q5 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=64684661
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] joeminati:
Nice. No just asking in case I want to sell the phone.. Hopefully there is no trigger for knowing if it did get unlocked.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] ted77usa:
My buddy [MENTION=4110881]KINGDROID25[/MENTION] just sold his phone after helping me tested this tool and restored to stock boot,system,and recovery.... Then relocked the BL
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] Exconvict:
I tried your tool but it fails due to not enabling OEM unlock in system and I can't boot into system.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] ted77usa:
Download those files from FAQ .... Link above.... Plug your phone and open adb fastboot folder type "adb reboot bootloader" without quote sign and see if your phone boot into bootlader / fastboot mode..... If yes then flash those files from FAQ to how to restore to stock boot,system,recovery. And u could try this tool again after u got it back into stock system
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] Exconvict:
I can't flash files if bootloader is locked. I can't unlock the bootloader because I can't enable OEM unlock. Adb reboot takes me to error screen.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] MrEpic:
I did click on "install" actually. That's when i started asking questions haha. When i clicked on install, my phone boots into fastboot mode and just hangs there.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] ted77usa:
[MENTION=4181800]MrEpic[/MENTION]

I remembered that .... I was talking maybe after you moved the files from your phone.... So basically it the same thing? Before and after..... How about try this .... Download notepad++ and then right click on install.bat .... Edit using notepad++ ..... Take screenshot or picture.... Let me see the install command bat .... Something is off on your end or I'm just trying to figure it out what cause your problem.

EDIT: [MENTION=4181800]MrEpic[/MENTION]

Ok try this.....

1. From extracted KlicKiT folder that where ever you saved let say dektop hold shift then right click.... Open cmd command here.

2. Type these three commands in order one by one then enter.

Hope that work for you...[emoji2] let me know ... And seem like twrp didn't install correctly when you try KlicKiT tool.

[MENTION=6434543]Exconvict[/MENTION]

As far as I know u could flash Stock file even on locked BL.... Coz it required stock signature verification to pass BL even u have locked BL..... But when u have unlock BL then it bypass signature verification process and just let you flash anything. As long as you have all the driver installed correctly ... And type "adb reboot bootloader" without quote sign .... Your phone should boot into bootlaloader / fastboot mode and then u can type fastboot command to flash boot.img.....system.img and stock recovery.img If your phone can't boot into bootloader or fastboot mode then I assumed your phone hard bricked...I'm just want to make sure that u have LG v10 TMO version H901 right? If not then u are hard bricked trying to flash recovery and unlocking BL for other LG v10 variants..... I know u said you forgot to enable oem unlock .... But as far as my tool install command it does that for you.... So I'm just hoping that you have TMO LG-v10 H901 version.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] Exconvict:
Yes it's tmo version but nothing works. Flashing anything fails. Thank you tho.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] ted77usa:
Sorry to hear that.... I wish i could help you more to bring your phone back.... But that stock files should be the only way to bring your phone back.. I think u would get more help if you ask question in that thread.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] ZDeuce2:
Take in to tmobile, play dumb... Lol
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] MrEpic:
Ok... Im going to try tomorrow before work but just to make sure.. Im typing this in the box... While my phone is connected? And when exactly should i do this? On the fastboot screen after i click "install"? Pardon my ignorance on this.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] Exconvict:
I bought another one. Gonna give the bricked one to a dev. in the community.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] ted77usa:
That is manually method and DONT click install.... From the folder where the KlicKiT extracted from Hold Shift... Right click..... Open command here ..... Then plug you phone and type these command first "adb devices" without quote sign..... To see your device ID and if there then u good to go, make sure you allow usb debugging on your phone screen....Then those three command above.

One thing I forgot to mention you might want to add to the install instructions. ..

After driver install plug the phone into the computer and wait for the drivers to be applied. After the computer is done the phone will display a notice asking to allow USB debugging press yes. Then run the install . this will eliminate the fail due to the phone not being recognized.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] christianstudebaker:
After running the program everything seemed to be working correctly as I found myself in TWRP. But when attempting to create a backup, it came up with an error message saying "unable to mount data".

---------- Post added at 01:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 AM ----------

I had the same problem. In the initial twrp recovery after running the program it wouldn't let me do a backup either. After restarting the phone and trying the program again it worked perfectly. Was able to do a backup, and flash new rom as well.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] christianstudebaker:
Now I've come across another problem. It seems that the program when ran on the computer will send my phone to twrp and everything works fine, but when I try to reboot into recovery the android character with the triangle shows up and I can't do anything but pull the battery.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] ted77usa:
Let me get this straight....This tool only one time use..... If the tool unlocked your Boot loader and install TWRP in the first time just fine then u should flash SuperSu.zip to root your phone.... So that way u don't have to use this KlicKiT tool or fastboot command to go to recovery every time when you need it.... Just install any rebooter app from play store...root required... I used 3minit rebooter. Or I might missed your point? So right now seem to me that u lost twrp .... U need to flash twrp using fastboot command or run the tool KlicKiT again....I never try it to run the tool twice but I didnt we why not ..... Others tried and work after couples attempt ....let me know if work for you or if you have another question.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] christianstudebaker:
I have root and the bootloader is unlocked. But whenever I reboot to recovery using any method, it goes to the red triangle. So I believe like you said all I have to do is use adb and flash twrp again correct?
[T-Mobile LG V10 Android Development] ted77usa:
Yes... Or u could try run KlicKiT tool again.

Will this work after T-Mobile pushes an update?

Was about to update to fix issue with the fingerprint reader not working with a case on (Update apparently removes need for metal ring to be touched which makes a lot of the cases useless if you want fingerprint unlock).

Should I root it first?
