I am having trouble flashing the recovery after updating to Marshmallow and unlocking the bootloader. I am getting

fastboot oem device-id
...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.012s

when I am trying to get the device-id.

I read in this thread that someone had the same issue and that it was fixed by updating the adb interface drivers. That unfortunately did not work for me. Any other suggestions from anyone?

[LG V10 Android Development] ShanghaiWall:
Have you disabled driver signature (applicable if you're trying to unlock bootloader on Windows 8, 8.1 and 10)?
[LG V10 Android Development] :
Your post made me curious so I went and asked on the LG Developer forum :

And given that no one here reported any adverse effect upon unlocking their device, I'd say it's pretty safe to unlock.

Twrp should be permanent if everything done correctly. I didn't had to flash again.

Flashed once plus supersu. And now I am using quick reboot app to go to recovery directly from os.

i do everything right, the fist time i flash twrp when in twrp and then reboot into system and shut down the phone and try to acess twrp via power + vol. down they dont work and guess what? i made a factory reset.

but im gonna try that app and see if they work because if i want to go via keys they do a reset, i need to flash twrp everytime to use it.

EDIT: that app works, now i can go to TWRP everytime whitout need to flash everytime and go via keys method.Many Thanks

Hi,

is there a recovery.img file for the H960A stock recovery available?

Background: There is a OTA update to MM V20B from August 17th available which, I assume, can only be installed with stock recovery.

Or would be the flashing of the complete KDZ file the only option to get the new version (followed by the installation of TWRP and SU)?
[LG V10 Android Development] fixxxer102:
Recovery extracted from KDZ file H960A20a_00_0316.kdz

You have to unpack zip file. Recovery is in bin format. I don`t know if you can flash it via fastboot.
[LG V10 Android Development] tveith:
Should I update to the H96020B build? If I do this, will I lose root? LG Bridge is telling me that this update is available but I absolutely do NOT want to lose root.
[LG V10 Android Development] cappuccina:
I'd also like to know more about this.

I'm downloading the kdz for 20b now. (it's already available in general forum)

Are we even able to flash this with unlocked bootloader and twrp installed? Or we have to lock bootloader again first?

And if, the flashing procedure for twrp and rooting afterwards should be the same and work also on this build, right?

Gesendet von meinem LG-H960 mit Tapatalk
[LG V10 Android Development] tveith:
I received this update OTA -- downloaded it, and it is asking me to install. I'm purposely not installing as I am concerned that if I do, I'll lose root. If someone could respond and let us know if it is safe to install the update, and the best way to do it without risking TWRP, root, etc, this would be greatly appreciated :)
[LG V10 Android Development] cappuccina:
so I just took the step and upgraded to the new build.

I flashed the 20b kdz via LGUP and upgrade option (so you don't loose your data)

rebooted into bootloader and flashed TWRP again.

Turned off the phone by pulling out the battery. And booted into TWRP by using the button combination. (just as you did the first time)

Flashed supersu and xposed (if you want to)

Thats it. Upgraded, rooted again and all data and settings still there. :good:
[LG V10 Android Development] consolevn:
It is true that unlocking the bootloader is irreversible but the you still have the warranty. It is tricky writing from LG that they are not responsible for the damage caused by the unlock. However, if something went wrong with the hardware they are still incharge. They have to proof that damage was caused by the unlock if they refuse to repair. And normally, it is not the case.
[LG V10 Android Development] cyvr1:
Hi,

you can't install the OTA update if you have TWRP installed as the stock recovery is required. As there is (currently) not MM stock recovery for the V10 which can be flashed via fastboot the only way to update to V20b is to flash the complete new version via kdz file and LGUP with "upgrade" option set, so you don't loose your data. You will loose TWRP and root (and xposed if you installed that) but easily can flash all of it again.

I did this yesterday following the steps described by cappuccina. Took about 30 minutes including all reboots.
[LG V10 Android Development] tkparis:
Excellent !!! Good for you and all other people.

I wished to install twrp : this time it was fine. Next to that I wanted to root but I flashed an old supersu and I deleted the OS : Now I'm able to enter to twrp mode but when I want to flash the right supersu when shipping to reboot twrp indicates : "No OS installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?"

Any ideas how to recover my LG V10 (H960A) ? No possibility via LGUP nor LGBridge and no backup...

Thanking you in advance

EDIT : Finnaly I managed to flash via LGBridge (button up the sub to LGBridge. This time I will pay attention with supersu !!!
[LG V10 Android Development] cyvr1:
Hi,

just flash the latest version you can find here: http://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133.

[LG V10 Android Development] betoNL:
If your phone doesn't have a bootloader, how does it boot?:confused:
[LG V10 Android Development] cappuccina:
If you are still on 5.1.1 it's normal you can't boot into bootloader.

You have to upgrade to marshmallow first, then you will be able to use fastboot and unlock bootloader.

IF you have the EUR version or T-mobile variant from USA.

Yes I haven't flashed the fix and have no problems encountered so far.

Not sure if it will help you.

You might want to flash the kdz again to have a clean install.

But doesn't hurt trying.

Stock recovery.img needed

I want to receive the newest OTA update, for that I need to go back to stock recovery. Can someone provide the stock recovery.img for lg h960a software version V20a? Couldn't find it anywhere
[LG V10 Android Development] oleg77:
I guess we can use LG UP or LG Bridge to update from V20a to V20b, instead of just clicking on the OTA notification on the phone. This way we don't need to flash back stock recovery (I suppose we'll have to flash back TWRP and supersu though, after update).

Can someone comment about this process ?

Thanks...
[LG V10 Android Development] cappuccina:
Yes just use LG UP. And flash via upgrade option. You won't loose your data and settings but have to flash twrp and supersu again.

I've upgraded already this way and confirmed it one or two pages back. ;)

I have taken a different approach, after receiving notification for 20C update, and it was successful. Installed LG drivers / LG Bridge, then software update through LG Bridge with automatic reboot. No loss of current data. Refer then to initial post as if it were the first time to install TWRP / root device, all good.

Works with LG-V10 (LG-H960A)

Unbranded

Software Version: V20c-EUR-XX

MM 6.0

Build-Nummer MRA58K

The only thing u should keep in mind

1. Encrypt Internal with Stock-ROM

2. Flash Recovery, Install SuperSU as described (from external SD-Card Unencrypted)

3. Encrypt External-SD-Card

then u will have Rooted V10, Fullencrypted (/data, External SD-Card), MM 6.0 ;)

[LG V10 Android Development] cyvr1:
Hi,

I just had to do a factory reset myself (H960A) with TWRP installed. There is a factory reset option in TWRP and I tried that one but did not format the internal SD card. This lead to various issued after the phone booted. It was set to factory defaults but for some reason some drivers were still installed and loaded (for example Viper4Android).

To do a proper factory reset you better flash the appropriate KDZ file via LGUP with the "Refurbish" option. This is the best way in my opinion as it deletes really everything from the phone.

Hello, I wanna know if this works on any H960 or only in the H960A... I need root access cause i have the unbeareable popup "current version is not for user..." on the 20b.

Thanks in advance for your responses.
[LG V10 Android Development] cappuccina:
I've also had an experience with doing a factory reset.

I wanted to make a do over and start from scratch. (I tend to du this once in awhile)

I made a twrp backup right after flashing the v20c last time. And thought I would just flash this and that's it. So I didn't have to have a pc and use lgup.

Somehow after I manually wiped all partitions(cache/dalvik/data and system) I thought ok now flash the backup of the clean install and start again. But twrp wouldn't see the partitions from my backup(boot/system/data) anymore.

So I was without OS installed and at first didn't know how to move on.

LGUP wouldn't recognize my device anymore. It just said unknown device.

I had to manually boot into download mode to get it to recognize. Keep pressing volume up while plugging in the usb cable.

(but I was almost having a heart attack until I came to this point.) hhh [emoji28] [emoji12]

I flashed the kdz and was good again.

Unfortunately I don't know what was the problem with twrp jot recognizing the partitions of my backup, but now after all this mess, I can use this backup (and already did, because I had a system crash after restoring some apps.)

So I flashed the clean install backup I made the first time, but without manually wiping before.

And it worked a treat. It's even without supersu installed. Had to boot into twrp again to install it. ;)

Sorry for this long explanation [emoji28]

I think all I wanted to say is, yes there seem to be some flaws with this twrp.

But all in all. I am VERY HAPPY to have it.

Thanks again for [MENTION=4229359]rudi666[/MENTION] for making this possible.

Let's see if 2017 will bring some more stuff for us. Although I doubt it a bit. But let's not give up hope. :D [emoji16] [emoji106]

[LG V10 Android Development] ShanghaiWall:
Just FYI, I don't want to make a whole thread about it. You can use Android Pay, and probably everything that uses SafetyNet, with rooted phone and unlocked bootloader on LG H960A. Simply flash Magisk in Recovery and download Magisk Manager, enable Magisk Hide in Settings and that's it. Of course, in order for it to work properly you have to remove any previous root managers, such as SuperSU.

Before Magisk, I tried disabling Superuser, but it didn't help.

I made one critical mistake though: when uninstalling Superuser, I chose "try to restore system img" or something along those lines, and I figured, "yeah sure, I want to do as clean install as possible". Apparently, it removes TWRP too! (Yeah, I'm stupid. Really f***ing stupid) But I didn't know that, and after phone rebooted, I turned it off, pressed Vol - and PWR button to load into TWRP. I see an usual screen asking me whether I want to do factory reset, and I was like "Yeah, sure, whatever. You and I know that it will load to TWRP, don't we?", then it asks to erase all userdata and I go "FFS, man, c'mon, load me to TWRP already!". I go for Yes and BOOM! I see an Android with rolling cube in his belly instead of TWRP welcome screen. *facepalm* So, please, be careful when removing previous root managers.

TL;DR: When uninstalling SuperSU don't pick "Restore system img recovery" or something like this, it will remove TWRP!

Hi i have a tmobile Lg V10 H901, i'm in the Nougat update, did it by lg bridge this is the version it istalled H90130b_00_0523.kdz, today i tried to unlock my bootloader, first i checked the unlock bootloader option in developer tools, then i restarted via adb with "adb reboot bootloader", in the phone the bootloader screen told me the commands to unlock bootloader "fastboot oem unlock" and the command to check if the bootloader was already unlocked, i checked and it was locked, then i tried to do the unlocking and it worked with no code, it wiped my data and unlocked the bootloader, no need to request bootloader unlock code from LG.

I dont know if this is a normal behavior with nougat update, because i read that the only V10 available for bootloader unlock was the H960, maybe this will bring back the development for the Lg V10?

i will try to flash twrp and lead you guys know later how it went.

This is the case with t-mobile devices.
