You must erase the Data Partition not the wipe menu than flash the super su ZIP
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Oli87000:
OK thanks.

But if I wipe "data", I erase everything, even what is on my internal sd, no ?

If that's it, how do I see my zip root and flash it ?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] PrinceLc:
Not SD but yes the internel so Backup to pc

Hi,

the instruction on the first page does not work for me.

I reboot into bootloader, fastboot flash recovery the 3021 and when I try to fastboot boot trwp.img I got a fallen Android with red triangle.

What can I do, how do I twrp get working with 20A?! (850) EU Open.

Regards

Dirk
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Oli87000:
Hello,

First of all, back up everything you want to back up

.

It depends if you want to flash TWRP and the root ... or just TWRP.

If you want the root, I advise you to have an external micro sd in your smartphone ... less problem afterwards.

I advise you to copy your SuperSu file (with the link in the first page of the topic) into your external micro sd before starting.

If you are in 20A, you should retrieve the

twrp-3.0.2-1-h850.img version

(https://dl.twrp.me/h850/twrp-3.0.2-1-h850.img.html)

Now do steps 1,2 and 3 of the first page...not the 4 (

fasboot command "fastboot boot twrp-x.x.x-x-h850.img" does not work

)

Then you disconnect your cable, you remove your battery.

The most annoying (I took time before finding the right combination and timing) is restart in recovery by pressing vol-down + power ...

Release the power as soon as the LG logo appears (only ... let press the vol-down button), and press again on power (while pressing vol-down) until you fall on the wipe pages (Two pages afterwards) where you have to answer "yes" for both.

So you have to leave it vol-down pressed, ok? And do not release the power until the appearance of the logo LG ^^ and maintain until the appearance of the pages of wipe ^^

You answer "yes" to both pages of wipe, and you let go ... you will see the TWPR open.

At the request of password, you press the button "cancel"

Only if you want to root your phone, you swipe on the question asked for the modification of the system

At this step, Go to [Wipe] -> [Format Data] (not advanced wipe) -> type "yes".

WARNING: This will wipe your internal storage, disable encryption, and factory reset your phone!

as say jcadduono of the TWRP team

Then Go to [Reboot] -> [Recovery].

Flash Super user file (which is located on the external micro-sd)

And now reboot system

You let restart your phone (it bootloop once and restarts, that's normal)

And here is: TWRP is installed and you are root ;)

Cordially.

Olivier.

I am under the 20A ... after installing TWRP and root, has anyone had an upgrade notification (software update)?

That is what has just happened to me.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] volkmadi:
Hi,

many thx for your good explanation, but I look for a way without wiping anything.

It can't be that one has to wipe his phone for getting a different recovery installed.

Kind regards

Hi I unlocked bootloader,flashed twrp,now I cant boot into it.

fastboot boot "C:\Users\Tanim Jalal\Downloads\twrp-3.0.2-1-h850.img"

downloading 'boot.img'...

OKAY [ 0.416s]

booting...

FAILED (remote: unknown command)

finished. total time: 0.438s

and if i reboot,turn on debugging and use adb reboot recovery it boots to something where an android with an exclamation mark is lying down,which will not do anything.

what am i doing wrong?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] brockyneo:
Hi guys can we update to the latest version via twrp app or are we best doing it via pc

Thanks
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] jeffsga88:
If you already have TWRP, easiest way is to just download the new TWRP image and install via twrp. In TWRP goto install and click where it says zip and it will change to image, then browse to location you have TWRP image (if u still have your phone encrypted use external SD card). Then after done you can just reboot or reboot to recovery if you need to do something in TWRP.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] 666misanthrop666:
Did you flash recovery via the command

Fastboot flash recovery xxx\twrp-3.0.2-1-h850.img? xxx stands for your directory.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Jongla:
Yes.

I booted in TWRP successfully though.there is a post for that somewhere here.thanks anyway.

Don't use

fastboot boot recovery

to enter twrp. Just pull the battery and plug it back in. Then do the 2 button Combo to get into twrp.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] gohikan:
tried that too

after clicking 2 times yes stock rom starts
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] 666misanthrop666:
Have you tried Version 3.0.2-1, too?

Here's the link for H850:

https://dl.twrp.me/h850/twrp-3.0.2-1-h850.img.html

If you have nougat running, you need the new version because the bootloader is different.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] gohikan:
precise eyes

i didnt notice that,

yes twrp-3.0.2-1-h850 has worked

at last

thank u

Nice to hear that! Glad it worked!
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] MetaIIica:
If you use Ubuntu or other Linux and you get then use following command: sudo fastboot flash xxxx-h850.img

important to use sudo before fastboot commands

working fine for me

next i found, its better work when you use USB 2.0 instead USB 3.0

I have a LG G5 with Nogaut (V20b).

The guide in the first post is still valid for Nougat?

The link to download "no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip" is not valid.

Thanks
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ilyadan:
Two most common mistakes when you boot twrp with buttons:

1. Release the power button for 0.5 to 1 second. Too short release will not get you to recovery.

2. Don't worry and press "yes" to wipe your phone. Your phone will not be erased if you have TWRP. It will be erased if you don't. If you are not sure then make backup first.

I've unlocked the bootloader but I can't enter in recovery mode after flashing TWRP !!!, I've tried everything and the only one time that I could enter in recovery mode (thanks to Universal ADB) I got a dead android on the screen, it seems that no valid recovery has left.

The command fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-h850.img is done fine, but this fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-h850.img initially says OK but then FAILED. Then I removed the battery, volume down and bla bla but can't enter in recovery mode !!!, I'dont know what more to do...
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] obol2:
Don't do fastboot boot TWRP .... AFTER you hit flash recovery TWRP.. and it finished disconnect Device from USB and pull battery for 5 seconds out. Put it back in then HOLD volume down and long press power button then release only power button for 1 second after you see lg logo and then repress it again. You should see the factory reset screen . Press yes two times and it should boot into twrp.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] alexinc:
It seems you don't use the latest version of TWRP!
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] viktor92:
I'm doing that, but a factory reset menu appears me !!!

Don't understand why it's so hard to flash a new recovery, why don't "stick up" easy as with my old S3...
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] zniper89:
do you se the factory reset menu? if so press yes 2 times and you will enter twrp.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] 666misanthrop666:
If you're running Nougat use twrp-3.0.2-1-h850.img
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] viktor92:
Yes, I see the factory reset menu, so should I do another factory reset (the first when the bootloader was unlocked) ??, this is the only way ??

I just configured all apps again... :(

---------- Post added at 10:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 AM ----------

I'm flashing that, but I'm still on MM.

pd.: rooting Nougat is flashing supersu from recovery as always, or another trick is needed?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] obol2:
If you installed TWRP (latest) the factory reset menu won't wipe your phone. After you press 2 times yes it will boot into TWRP.

Rooting nougat : install stock nougat, install TWRP IMG , boot into TWRP, wipe data, boot into twrp, install SuperSU.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] viktor92:
Well, rooted at last !!, thank you !! :good:

To be honest it's way counter intuitive answer two times YES on a factory reset question to launch the recovery, but anyway now I have it.

But I have a problems: when TWRP starts it ask for a password to decript data and mount the internal memory, I don't know what password is asking for, and if I press cancel, the programs says me that the partition is in unmodified state, and ask me to allow modification, this happens every time I start TWRP, and it doesn't save any configuration also, nor shows me any space (obviously) free in the internal memory because it can't be mounted, what should I do with this ?

Thanks in advance.

---------- Post added at 07:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 AM ----------

Ok, I've just seen the answer in the OP...

If I do a TWRP backup on the microSD, format data, and restore the backup just made, will it work ?, or should I start all over again from the factory reset ?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] obol2:
You should start all over again after wiping /data. Anyway TWRP can't write to encrypted storage so i think it make no sense if you restore /data backup .
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] viktor92:
The idea is to make a backup in an external non encrypted storage, format internal /data to erase encryption, and then restore the backup...
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] jeffsga88:
With internal storage encrypted TWRP can't back it up, it will fail. If you want to be able to work with your internal storage in TWRP and do full backups you need to go into TWRP and go-to wipe and click format data (not just wipe) and type yes and that gets rid of encryption on internal and you can see internal and backup internal within TWRP. You will lose all data on internal by doing this. Either backup by connecting to computer and transferring everything to PC or transfer everything you need to ext SD card. You could also use an app like titanium backup to backup all apps and app data.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] PandaToon:
Hey all, I realize this may a bit off topic, as I am asking about ROMs.

But what ROMs are you running, and which ones are still updated? I'm running stock unrooted now but I have a number of issues, so I'm thinking to root and flash.

BAM ROM seems to have a limited userbase, and I'm unsure wheter it's stable. Here on XDA I can only find ROMs that aren't updated any more.

I need a stable phone for work, so it's either you guys that help me out with finding a stable ROM, or I buy a new phone...

Any help appreciated! Thanks!

Greets from Belgium.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] obol2:
LineageOS, RR, Xenon, Fulmics. If you want stable phone to work there is Fulmics rom. It's based on stock and has more tweaks. Battery life is great (over 4h SOT).
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] jeffsga88:
If you're wanting roms that are being updated, LineageOS is not being updated any longer at least for now. RR is pretty stable and updated very frequently although on last two builds there are some issues relating to Bluetooth, so I'd use the build before the 5th if you use that ROM. Overall stock based roms are usually the most stable so maybe try stock based roms.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] viktor92:
So there's no way to make a TWRP backup until internal storage isn't encrypted, no matter where I want to do it, so format data is mandatory, or I'm wrong ??.

For the rest I've used for a long time Titanium backup and MyBackup Pro, so there's no problem.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] jeffsga88:
That's correct. TWRP cannot decrypt the data partition so it can't be backed up or restored. Once it's formatted it'll be fully accessible in TWRP. Also make sure you install the no verity zip to disable force encryption.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] viktor92:
Ok, all done, phone configured to my likings, notifications sound imported from my S3, and full TWRP backup done on the internal memory. The only thing that I couldn't do anything was with the camera sound, I've renamed all the camera sound files, but it keeps sounding, perhaps stronger !! :) . The only cure I've found to this is put the phone in silent mode.

Going from MM to Nougat will lock the bootloader and encript data partition again ?

I've received the OTA message for update to V20A, but after so many work to have the phone like I want, I'm not ready to do that again right now...
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] MetaIIica:
can this any confirm?

i have yesterday a little bit play with Android 7 with latest TWP and had following done:

Make Backup from MM (AICP 11.0)

wipe and flash V20A Bootloader and Modem

Flash some Android-Roms and boot -> booting okay and playing with it

wipe again and flash V10E Bootloader and Modem

reboot recovery

Restore my Backup and wipe cache and Dalvik

Now restored Backup wont boot, get Bootloop

If i wipe again and flash AICP 11.0 normally it will boot normally without Problem and must setup all again.

Any in restore is corrupt i think. With previous TWRP Backup and restore work fine

I've made a Nandroid of Resurrection Remix M, then flashed another rom (I think it was XenonHD) Nougat. Didn't like it so I restored my Marshmallow Nandroid and it worked just fine. But I never flashed bootloader or modem in between, so maybe that's the reason.

Is there a .zip version of the last TWRP ?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] obol2:
No only .img , why do you need it?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] viktor92:
Because in case of flashing a new. zip rom that replaces recovery, is much easier to flash it again from recovery itself before rebooting.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] xlxcrossing:
Make sure you indeed downgraded the firmware before installing or restoring Mm Roms...They won't boot with Nougat firmware. It might help to flash the complete 10E zip.

---------- Post added at 04:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 PM ----------

Where is the DL link for 3.0.3? It has a link to the app next to the name as if that's somehow related to the update...Confused ?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] obol2:
Only stock roms replaces recovery. When you installed a stock rom you have to flash twrp over adb anyway.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] viktor92:
Ok, still it's easier to update the recovery from itself than flashing an img.

I have no problem with 7.1.1 roms :) which app do you use for backing up sms?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] vmartinez39:
Just try this on a phone, not your daily driver with LOS or 7.1.1 Rom

1. Make a TWRP Backup

2. Wipe the data

3. Restore your backup

All SMS messages that were on your backup will get cleared. On LOS some settings will go to default but its minor.

Backups aren't 100% and some stuff will be lost when restoring. Again, DON'T Try this on your daily driver. I see on TWRP 3.0.3 is in the works but because of this I've just stuck to MM ROMS because if you try to restore backups, you'll lose some stuff, SMS will get cleared.

I've seen this happen to all 7.X ROMs and TWRP

Hey guys! I have the recently released LG Aristo(MS210) for MetroPCS and I successfully unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP with the method here modified for my phone. The mistake I made was I flashed the supersu zip without flashing the "no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip". When I rebooted the phone I get an "Encryption Unsuccessful" screen with the only option is reset the phone.(I've uploaded a photo) When I try to access TWRP with the manual button combination, I get TWRP for a moment, then it says executing script and I'm back in the "Encryption Unsuccessful" screen. I can't access adb but I can access fastboot.

What are your suggestions for this issue?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Jcr_:
Try unplugging battery, plug it back and reset phone with VOLUME DOWN + POWER method (press and hold VDOWN and POWER at once, wait for LG logo, release power and press it again immediately, select yes, select yes)
