No, it won't. It works on most S5/Note 4 models (those that use Samsung eMMC modules, anyway). The S6/S7/Note 5 use much faster UFS storage (which is the main reason expandable storage wasn't an option on the S6 & Note 5) and do not use eMMC. A Samsung eMMC module is a requirement for that exploit.

[HTC Rezound] Youdoofus:
Im very well versed with older HTCs (well, the OG Evo and the OG Incredible) and most Samsung Galaxy devices. Ive fixed borked bootloaders, softbricked devices, "hardbricked" devices.... Im saying this because i want to stress that im not a newb.

So here is my problem, I have a Rezound that will boot to stock recovery, and the bootloader that asks to boot to fastboot etc etc. When i select fastboot, it goes to a screen asking if id like to boot to bootloader, and goes back and forth between the two. When i select reboot it hangs on a "juopuntubear" in green letters with a green arrow pointing down to an image of what looks like a old skool G1. I have some RUUs and some ROM zips. Where am I here?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tardis_42:
I know Marshmallow does a lot of wakelock/alarm optimizing on its own, but I like to run Amplify not just to extend my battery, but also for privacy reasons - I block a lot of services with things like "analytics" in the names. I got my new Nexus 6P today and while getting everything set up, I noticed that somewhere along the line the fingerprint scanner had stopped waking the device - I'd put my finger on it, get the single vibration, but the screen wouldn't turn on. I'd have to hit the power button as well. (Oddly enough, if I did the fingerprint and then the power button, it would unlock immediately on waking, so the fingerprint scanner was clearly registering the fingerprint, it just wasn't able to actually wake the device.)

I managed to narrow this down to being Amplify's fault somehow; with Amplify disabled and no other changes, the fingerprint scanner works as expected (wakes and unlocks the device in one press), but with Amplify enabled, even without any services, wakelocks, or alarms actually blocked, the fingerprint scanner won't wake the device. Has anyone encountered this? Any fixes?

I have a Sprint version of the G5. Does this work on Sprint variant?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] dougalh:
Is the Sprint variant H850? I don't think so. You need to have an unlocked bootloader which has currently only become available this morning for the H850 European variant.

Thanks for this! Time to go buy my G5 now (Australia's a bit behind the times, only became available yesterday lol)

[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Schrotty35:
Same problem here.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] queloo:
Following instructions found here

For TWRP to "stick" you must first boot directly into TWRP and not back into Android, until after flashing the SuperSU zip.

After flashing TWRP unplug the USB cable and pull the battery. Plug battery back in then boot into recovery which should hopefully load TWRP.

To boot into recovery:

a. Using 2 hands.. use one hand/finger to press/hold volume down.. and use the other hand for the power button. Press n hold both buttons.

b. As soon as you see the LG logo on the screen.. let go of the power button then quickly press it again (never letting go of volume down).

c. Keep holding until you see the Factory Reset screen. Click thru the factory reset screens.. Yes.. Yes...

10. You will not be able to decrypt your internal data while in TWRP but you can manually mount your external SD card to view the SuperSu zip. Feel free to back up first.. but otherwise.. time to install SuperSu. Click the Install button and navigate to the external_sd, select the SuperSu zip then swipe to install. Now you're rooted and TWRP'd! Reboot into system...

Stuck on TWRP splash screen.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] duckysempai:
I followed those instructions aswell but everything worked fine for me. Was able to get into twrp and flash supersu. Wonder why it's only working for some.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] LBensley:

what was your process in flashing it and everything?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] duckysempai:
Just followed the instructions here to the letter. Didn't do anything different. Only thing I can think of is that I let the phone boot fully after unlocking and then installed twrp after that. Not even sure if that can affect anthing

TWR Restore Q

I have a H850 that I BL unlocked, installed TWRP recovery, SuperSu etc. Phone was encrypted and made a full nandroid backup of system and data with TWRP. My phone got damaged and I'm waiting for a replacement. My question is: Can I restore the nandroid that I have once I get my phone back, is this possible if my data was encrypted?

Thanks
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] gwolfu:
In theory it should be possible

However, you should set it as a new phone because some files might be changed

[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] srimay:
Use the stock tot, I think it's in the op. Or somewhere in the xda forums. Install it like you installed the twrped version.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] volkmadi:
Hi,

sorry I fighted through the 19 pages but at the end feel as cleverr as before.

Is there already any way to get the orig recovery, so that I can install successfully the OTA updates, or is there any other "simple" way to flash the latest version of stock rom?! All I read sounds to me real risky and real complicated (unlock, flash TWRP & root access worked well) I just want to have a way to have bugfixes and so on now and in the future.

Thx in advance!

[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] fonix232:
Easiest and cleanest way is to back up your data, flash KDZ with LGUP, then root and flash TWRP, and restore that backup.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] volkmadi:
Yeah,

what I thought. But backup my data is a good point. I noticed that Titanium still has not managed to ask for right access to ext storage card since Android 4 ? (OK not the point here but a problem). Unluckily KDZ does not say me something what does the abréviation mean and where do I get it from. With LGUP you mean the flash utility by LG?!

I'm really unsure now what to do, do not want to brig my new device!

Thx

You have to manually select the sd card with a file browser in TB settings. That grants it read write permissions.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] fonix232:
LGUP is the LG Update tool, pretty much ODIN for our device. It flashes a KDZ file, which is a firmware pack for LG phones. It WILL wipe your phone clean.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] volkmadi:
Hi,

many thx for the explanation. Where can I get this LGUP and then where are the KDZ's?

Is there something compareable leike the (sorry for mention it here ;) ) samsung-firmware/sammobile for the LG G5? A source as close to LG would be great, gives an offical impression. :)

I suppose the best would be a surgical solution like just flashing the original recovery via fastboot, so what is this stock "tot" and where do I get this? Is a wipe necessary after flashing this?

For a future oriented solution solutions with a full wipe are not prefered, isn't it?! ;)

Kind regards

Well it flashed it, so what do you mean "doesn't work"? Follow the instructions to reboot to TWRP.

Remove the battery, then put it back in.

Boot into recovery using the button combo [Volume Down] + [Power]

When you see the LG logo let go of the power button (but not the volume button), then press it again immediately.

Then you get to the screen that asks you if you want to wipe all data, select Yes 2 times.

That should be it ... but it's all in the 1st post and several others in this subforum ;)
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] dani768:
Thank you!

I let go the power button after the phone vibrates and pressed it again immediately. That was to early and my mistake.

The other method with "adb reboot recovery" gave me the screen above.

In the first post isn't a hint with letting go the power butten when the lg logo appears. And the other method with "fastboot boot twrp-x.x.x-x-h850.img" doesen't work for me.

Wait, does this mean, that if you flash TWRP and open it with swype to modify of course, and don't have already a root zip on your sd card, the device it soft bricked, because you wont be able to boot into Android anymore?

- fastboot flash twrp-3.0.2-0-h850.img

- adb reboot recovery (dead android red signal) OR remove the battery and ..

- vol- with power button, on LG logo I release power, after a sec or about I press again the power button and it just boots normally..

[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Killua96:
The command to flash is "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-h850.img" non the one you posted, and this is written in the op.

The reboot recovery command will never work, it was stated many times, the only way ti enter in twrp after you flashed it is to do the combination, if the reset menu doesn't appear then you are doing something wrong.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] watchd0g:

You have to remove the battery after flashing the recovery, then you Have to do the combination.

When you see the logo you let go of the power button and press it again right away - don't wait "a sec or about".

[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] fonix232:
Data wiping is only required for the "oem unlock" part. Otherwise it won't wipe your data at all - even though the phone says it twice on a white background (safety feature by LG, basically the stock recovery, when entered manually, will wipe the phone, hence the warning. It's a feature for less knowledgeable users who don't know what a recovery is, and just want to wipe their phones. This way booting into recovery does just that immediately. TWRP does not wipe, so after you flashed TWRP, you're free to enter recovery using the button combo, it will not wipe).
