[LG Leon Questions & Answers] bokjezd:
Hi. I was trying to install Cyanogenmod on my LG Leon. First, I rooted my phone using KingRoot and then replaced it with SuperSU. Then, I proceeded to install TWRP. But, because I was installing it my first time in my life, I made a mistake and tried do install it using TWRP Manager, without doing a backup of the stock recovery. After rebooting, secure boot error popped up and I had to take out the battery. Now whatever I do I cannot do anything custom rom related. Do you have any hints?
[LG Leon Questions & Answers] adefesio:
You have to enable OEM unlock in Developer Options to prevent the secure boot error, then flash the recovery using Flashify and reboot.
[LG Leon Questions & Answers] bokjezd:
I already found an advise like this, but I still cannot find that option. I think I have a little bit too old android. Do you know in which version of android it was introduced? I have 5.0.1. Maybe there is another hidden switch simular to the one enabling developer options used to enable OEM unlock?
[LG Leon Questions & Answers] adefesio:
Check if there's a software upgrade available from your provider. I can also suggest flashing back the original stock recovery image. Let me know if you need a download link. Which variant is your Leon?
[LG Leon Questions & Answers] bokjezd:
Yes, there is an update but currently I can't do it because updating reboots to recovery to update something. I would really like to flash back the original recovery, but I don't have the image, so can I have the link, please? :) My Leon is LG H340n.
[LG Leon Questions & Answers] adefesio:
I am sending a private message with the link. Let me know if it works.
[LG Leon Questions & Answers] bokjezd:
Thanks, it seems to work now, but it refuses to update because it detects root. Is there a way to hide it or do I have to do a full unroot? I already tried the "Hide my Root" app.

Edit: Never mind, I will just do the unroot and then update.
[LG Leon Questions & Answers] bokjezd:
Ok, I've downloaded recovery-H340N.img, but when I try to update, it shows that updating screen and then error 0x1125000 pops up. The phone reboots and then it tells me it detected root, however I did a full unroot... Do you know what that error means? And how does LG check for the root?
[LG Leon Questions & Answers] adefesio:
Reset to factory settings, do the update, root with Kingroot (DON'T replace with SuperSU), restart, enable OEM unlock, install TWRP using Flashify.
[LG Leon Questions & Answers] bokjezd:
Wait, I need to do a backup of all my data, right?
[LG Leon Questions & Answers] adefesio:
Google backs up most of your data, but not all. If you know other ways then do it.

Google backs up most of your data but not all. If you know other ways then do it, then:

Reset to factory settings, do the update, root with Kingroot (DON'T replace with SuperSU), restart, enable OEM unlock, install TWRP using Flashify.
[LG Leon Questions & Answers] bokjezd:
I've reset my phone to factory settings, but it still refuses to update with error code 0x1125000 and after rebooting to home screen it says it detected root. I think I'm gonna update with LG Mobile Support Tool.
[LG Leon Questions & Answers] bokjezd:
Wait, does my mobile operator affect what recovery should I flash? If yes, it is P4, often referred to as PLAY. Or maybe I should also flash the boot image you've sent to me? My PC doesn't detect my phone, so I have to repair the updates...
[LG Leon Questions & Answers] adefesio:
Too many complications. Just reflash the entire ROM with the most recent kdz. Root with Kingroot and don't replace it with SU. You know the rest.
[LG Leon Questions & Answers] bokjezd:
Still nothing. Now it says it's the newest software available, but I cannot find that oem unlock. Are you sure it's available on Leon? I've read some manufacturers remove it...
[LG V10 Android Development] rudi666:
This is an unofficial TWRP port for LG-H960A.

Thanks to [MENTION=3505796]KAsp3rd[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3667193]GROGG88[/MENTION]

I DON'T TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY. YOU DO EVERYTHING AT YOUR OWN RISK.

READ EVERYTHING and MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE YOU START.

Instructions:

1. You must be on newest stock Marshmallow: H960A20a_00_0316.kdz

You can use LG Bridge to install official update, or download .kdz file HERE

2. You need to have bootloader ulocked.

Official instructions are here: ( Unlocking the Bootloader @ LG Developer )

Remember that this will completely WIPE YOUR DATA, you will LOSE WARRANTY and this operation is IRREVERSIBLE.

3. Flash TWRP.

I assume you got ADB and FASTBOOT drivers working and adb is paired (it should be if you completed step 2).

Connect your phone to your pc, open command prompt and reboot to bootloader:

adb reboot bootloader

Your phone should reboot and you should be welcomed by Fastboot Mode screen.

Now download the recovery file (below) to your pc, unpack (to get .img) and rename it to recovery.img and put it in folder where you got command prompt open and:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

4. Boot to TWRP.

As on Marshmallow some fastboot commands are not working and LG is restoring recovery on every boot (so you cant use "adb reboot recovery" right now) you need to use one trick.

DO NOT REBOOT YOUR PHONE.

When still in fastboot from step 3 you need to turn off your phone completely. You can do that by holding power button or if that is not working take the battery out.

Now (put the battery in) and press POWER + VOL DOWN buttons. When you see LG logo release the POWER button (while still holding VOL DOWN) and press POWER button again.

You should see a screen which is asking you if you want to factory reset your phone. Don't worry - if you made everything correctly it should not wipe your phone.

Use volume and power buttons to choose YES (twice) - and you should see a TWRP screen (after a while)

WARNING: IF YOU REBOOTED YOUR PHONE AFTER FLASHING RECOVERY THIS STEP WILL REALLY ERASE ALL DATA. You need to flash recovery again (step 3)

5. (optional) flash SuperSU to get root.

Get SuperSU from official thread and put it in your phone.

While in TWRP from step 4 your phone should be recognized by ADB. Use below to move file to sdcard.

adb push BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328.zip /sdcard/supersu.zip

Now in TWRP click Install, go to /sdcard/ and chooose supersu.zip. Follow instructions. After install you should choose to wipe cache/dalvik and reboot to system.

Your phone should be rooted now.

Download:

twrp-3.0.2.0-0-h960a.img.zip

(unpack .zip to get flashable .img)

Issues:

- Layout is wrong, status bar is being drawn on second screen.

- Date/time is wrong.

OK, now if we have recovery, is it possible to dump rooted system and pack it to .tot file for people who don't want to lose warranty?
[LG V10 Android Development] rudi666:
Oh, true. Fixed.

Maybe.
[LG V10 Android Development] 11868:
Thank You it worked!
[LG V10 Android Development] joliv:
Great. Just bought it 2 days ago for good price. Will try it.
[LG V10 Android Development] cyvr1:
Hi,

that's just great, thanks a lot.

As root is now possible has anyone tried to install xposed on th H960A?

I'm wondering if the second screen fix for the Telekom V10 also works with the H960A.

What about Viper4Android and AdAway?
[LG V10 Android Development] fixxxer102:
Are there any other known issues? I don`t need to install any custom roms. I need it only for root and xposed on Marshmallow. Is there something that can surprise me? :)
[LG V10 Android Development] orbitandre:
Hi,

"OK, now if we have recovery, is it possible to dump rooted system and pack it to .tot file for people who don't want to lose warranty? "

Ohh, thats sounds nice if this realy possible. :o

i love my v10.
[LG V10 Android Development] beigs01:
+1 ??
[LG V10 Android Development] rudi666:
Didn't try xposed but I think it should work (if it's working on other V10 models - they are not that different). I just recently bought V10 and was disappointed in dpi, so I needed root to patch second screen to be dpi-independent.

Also: why would you want things like Viper4Android when you got really good sounding hifi dac onboard?

For sure it's enough to flash packages and get root. Xposed is independent from recovery so I can't say anything about that.

Testing are up to you guys. Don't be afraid as this phone is not easy to brick.
[LG V10 Android Development] cyvr1:
Quite simple answer. The onboard Hifi DAC only works with cable headphones. Viper4Android also supports Bluetooth devices.
[LG V10 Android Development] paschalism:
Could you write a small guide about the dpi change (I prefer 540-580)?

Thanks in advance.
[LG V10 Android Development] rudi666:
Ah, you are right, that makes perfect sense. Sorry, I forgot about that.

There is still a long way, right now second screen FCs are fixed, but layouts are still wrong. I don't know if I can fix it to be truly dpi-independent but I think 560 is optimal value for this screen.

1k views and only 11 "thanks"??? Really? Guys! We need support devs! Big THANK YOU for ur hard work [MENTION=4229359]rudi666[/MENTION]. I haven't try ur method yet but I am happy with the fact that something is beginning to happen with v10

Wysłane z mojego LG-H960 przy użyciu Tapatalka
[LG V10 Android Development] cyvr1:
I did try his method and it worked like a charm. Ok, you'll have to reflash TWRP if you want to use it but I'm sure it's just a matter of time until we have permanent TWRP like th T-Mobile V10 obviously has.

Thanks to rudi666 I have root, xposed, adaway and viper4audio up and running on my V10. And as there are no interesting custom roms to flash in my opinion it does not matter that I'd need to reflash TWRP. If you plan your flashing in advance you can flash all zip files in one go. No real need for TWRP afterwards.
[LG V10 Android Development] rudi666:
Thanks guys. Unfortunately I see there is not much going on in V10 scene, and it's a shame.

Hm.. if you follow instructions you should get permanent TWRP, just try "adb reboot recovery" to test it if you don't want to risk clearing data when using button combination. There is a file called /system/boot-from-recovery.p which is 'restoring recovery' on every boot (that's why there is an info in instruction about not rebooting your phone the first time), but after all the steps this file will be patched. I don't remember if the first use of TWRP or flashing SuperSU does it, but you should get permanent recovery. If not you can always rename this file manually.
[LG V10 Android Development] cyvr1:
Hi,

I will try that again and see if I can get permanent TWRP. But as I said currently there is no real requirement for that. I flashed SuperSU and both files for xposed when I first booted into recovery and that is all I need at the moment.

[LG V10 Android Development] rowihel2012:
:eek:

how could we unlock bootloader

we cant enter bootloader screen
[LG V10 Android Development] systemik:
Hello.

Thanks so much. I install clean MM and followed instruction.

I was stuck at the reboot to bootloader due to an old version of adb (version 1.0.29 does not work but 1.0.32 works). My device was seen as "offline" after the MM upgrade.

I had as well issue when trying to do the steps from a parallel windows bootcamp on Mac. When doing it from Mac diretly, this worked perfectly.

The only undocumented scary piece is the yellow triangle and message at boot stating "Your device software can't be checked for corruption" ... (stay 5 seconds and then boot normal).

Systemic
[LG V10 Android Development] aboodejamal:
Gays !

Can we get tot file root same as lollipop ?
[LG V10 Android Development] cappuccina:
Would be great if this was possible.

I have sent a message to [MENTION=4965298]tungkick[/MENTION] and asked if he could provide us with a solution he made for the t-mobile variant but not heard from him. I also posted this request in a thread in the t-mobile section.

But I think either way an unlocked bootloader would be necessary as from what I understood.

Didn't see this reported, so here it goes; phone is working fine in MM updated through LG Bridge. Installed minimal adb, adb reboot boot loader works, but then fastboot oem device-id fails with so I can't get device id in order to unlock bootloader. Saw in some post might be related with adb version, will check that. Anyone with this issue managed to solve it?
[LG V10 Android Development] cappuccina:
I am also beginning to try unlocking the bootloader and at the same step right now. My phone is in fastboot mode but entering the command "fastboot oem device-id" stays at "waiting for any device".

have you solved it?

EDIT: ok so I updated the drivers while in fastboot mode by forcing to install the adb interface drivers located in the android sdk tools folder/extras/google and after that it worked.

I searched through xda until I found a post with this advice.

So Thanks for that

i want to unlock my bootloader an install you're recovery but on the unlock bootloader site i cant find any direct link for android sdk (adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, fastboot.exe) . Ive had recoveries on every other android devices i own .
[LG V10 Android Development] tveith:
Trying to unlock my bootloader. Followed all instructions. USB debugging and OEM unlock are checked in developer options. When in the C:\tools folder (where the three files are installed, i.e. adb.exe etc), when I type adb devices, nothing is found. My phone is recognized on the computer and in device manager. Any advice so that adb can recognize my phone?
[LG V10 Android Development] joliv:
OK, I am now rooted with TWRP installed - can't live without it, so now I'm happy. Main issue was geting ADB / FASTBOOT to work properly, i.e. recognizing my V10 in order to get the device ID and proceed with unlocking the boot loader - the way it worked for me.

a) uninstalled all LG drivers and software

b) uninstalled "[TOOL]Minimal ADB and Fastboot [4-27-16]" (you can get it at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790) BUT copied the files to c:\adb before uninstalling. ADB version in my case is 1.0.32.

c) install PDANET+ from http://pdanet.co/ -it will install the ADB drivers for LG phones upon selection. Even this way, it only installed ADB correctly after switching on the LG V10 the connection type from MTP to MIDI (!!!!), don't ask me why, but it worked - you'll get a msg on V10 asking if you trust your computer - that's the sign it will install ADB drivers properly.

d) open Command Prompt as administrator and switch to the directory where you kept ADB stuff, i.e. c:\ADB. Follow the procedure from 1st post on this thread (and give it a thanks :) )

copying the recovery to same directory to make it simple.

Contents of directory:

ADB wasn't working for me so I installed Minimal ADB and was able to unlock my bootloader and successfully install TWRP. Unfortunately, I'm getting some errors trying to root with SuperSU. Root Checker confirms that it did not work after installation. Anybody else having difficulty rooting?

TWRP cannot decrypt partition(s)

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your guide, everything's working the way you've described it!

After I encrypted my device I rebooted into TWRP, however TWRP didn't prompt me to decrypt the data partition.

Is this a device related issue or does this TWRP build still needs some tweaking?

There is no recovery for other variants than this H960a and t-mobile H901

so cant i install recovery in lolipop rooted?
[LG V10 Android Development] cyvr1:
You can't. Because root does not enable you to install TWRP. You need an unlocked bootloader for that. But if you have a rooted Lollipop you should be able to use the flashtool provided by chainfire if I'm not mistaken.

---------- Post added at 06:44 ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 ----------

The tools is called Flashfire and needs just a rooted phone.
[LG V10 Android Development] rowihel2012:
So you mean flash the recovery with flashfire apk?
[LG V10 Android Development] cyvr1:
No, as I said, you can't flash a recovery if you have a locked bootloader.

Flashfire is sort of a recovery replacement which works on rooted phones. As there is a rooted Lollipop for the H960A available as kdz file you can use Flashfire to flash zip files for example for Xposed framework.

Hello everyone I need to root my h960tr device. I need to restore my all missing data(photos files etc.) after hard format. Do you guys have a idea please I need help.
[LG V10 Android Development] cyvr1:
What kind of idea?

In terms of rooting your phone? None. i don't know if that is even possible for the H960TR.

In terms of backing up your data? Insert a MicroSD Card into your phone and do a backup there. you can copy your files and photos manually of for example use LGBackup. It does a good Job and backups multimedia files and photos found on the internal memory as well as application data and settings. You can even select the external SD Card as destination so you don't loose the backup during a factory reset.
[LG V10 Android Development] Ssyyddii:
After unlocking bootloader and rooting with TWRP and installing SU, will the original MM ROM that comes with the V10 still be on the phone or does it get erased in the rooting process -- when wiping data for example. I know this question is really basic but not sure.
[LG V10 Android Development] Snake.s9:
Hey guys

Is that working on h960 ?
[LG V10 Android Development] cyvr1:
Hi,

if you have really "just" a H960 it is not working. To install TWRP you need an unlocked bootloader. Only the European H960A supports bootloader unlock.
[LG V10 Android Development] oleg77:
a late update, as I read this (maybe others will follow) : the new version UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip works perfectly.

So you can download it, and type :

adb push UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip /sdcard/supersu.zip

(and then you install it manually from your TWRP recovery, on the phone)

---------- Post added at 04:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------

by the way, I have seen with the 'V10 hidden Settings' app that our european model (H960A) was listed as : Model : LG-H960

That was on stock android 5.1 ; now that I did update, it's listed as model LG-H960A.

So it depends on where people look at their model number...
[LG V10 Android Development] ShanghaiWall:
Hey, guys,

Coming from Xperia Z3 I'm a little concerned about unlocking the bootloader. This operation on Z3 will permanently worsen the camera because it voids DRM keys for proprietary software that Sony uses to enhance pictures. Can you confirm that this is not the case with LG devices? Is there a way to backup TA partition (whatever that is) before unlocking the bootloader to restore DRM keys, if any? Is it true, that only phone warranty will be void? Is there a way to lock bootloader to restore warranty?
[LG V10 Android Development] cyvr1:
Hi ShanghaiWall,

I unlocked the bootloader of my H960A (european version) and did not notice any adversary effects on the picture quality. Till now everything is working fine without issues. The LG phone does not seem to have a TA Partition.

You cannot lock the bootloader again once it has been unlocked. So yes, warranty is lost. This is also mentioned on the LG developer page.
