For those asking about encryption:

1. Once encrypted, you can't un-encrypt. You can only format the data partition to start over.

To avoid encrypting after flashing the complete zip, IMMEDIATELY flash the no-verity-opt-encrypt zip (does nothing for rooting though), or just flash the supersu root (keeps you unencrypted and rooted). Do not reboot without this step. You don't need to flash both, as supersu includes the dm-verity stuff.

2. If you are encrypted by accident, you could use TB for all your apps (if rooted), or LGBackup (which is actually decent, as it does real backups without root). Once you format /data to an unencrypted state, you can then restore your apps separately.

3. Once encrypted, TWRP will not be able to read the /data partition at all. Only format it.

4. If you were smart enough to have taken a /data TWRP backup prior to upgrading/encrypting, format the /data partition in TWRP and restore just the /data partition of your backup. Should boot up fine.

Trying to restore a /data TWRP backup to an encrypted or improperly wiped /data partition will not go well for you. Don't do it.

5. If you had data stored on the internal memory, it will be visible once you boot into Android as that's what decrypts your /data. Pull it off onto your PC then. Or copy it directly to your ext SD then.

no password needed

Hi,

I also got prompted for a password the first time I got booted into TWRP. I saw an option to tap on "cancel" and selected it. After that it was all good.

This is the normal response when the /data partition is encrypted. You won't be able to access anything from it from TWRP, only after booting into Android.

Hi,

I flashed 10j complete zip over the 10 d rooted version. Would I be missing the features provided to 10i as I never applied it to my system? or are those feature already a part of this 10j complete zip file?

I'm having an issue with the 10j complete. Wiped data, cache, dalvik. Installed 10J-COMPLETE and SuperSU. Rebooted. Phone played the Tmo jingle and then gets stuck on the ENCRYPTING screen.

If I pull the battery, go to TWRP, wipe all the things, and reflash 10j-COMPLETE and no-verity-opt-encrypt, same story. It gets stuck on the encrypting screen. Seems that it's absolutely made its mind up to encrypt the phone and I can't stop it from doing so. :(

possible solution

Hi,

this is exactly one of the same issues i had. I am not developer - just FYI. But here are the things that that helped me.

1. Unlocked the bootloader - after flashing all 3 files (.tot + no-variety.... + SuperSu) was stuck in the initial screen bootloop - Bootloader check failed or something like that......

2. (Answer to post 27, I think) - boot into TWRP > Wipe > "Formate Data" ----- this got rid of the encryption screen for me. So then booted normally to android > enabled "oem unlock" and "usb debugging" > and then followed the same directions from scratch and flashed all three files again.

http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-lg-g5/development/root-h830-t3384526/page6

For some reason, I couldn't see the SuperSu in the android once booted and so I had to go back in TWRP and had to flash it again and it had worked fine.

Anybody have a flashable zip for nougat T-Mobile?
[T-Mobile LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] carnivalrejectq:
Question to some body knowledgeable here.....if I flash the stock recovery from an app like flashr and replace my twrp......will I then be able to take the nougat OTA? I no longer have access to a PC and don't care too much about root anymore anyway. Just want the official update. And if so which file is it in the directory? "Recovery. IMG"?
[T-Mobile LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] jeffsga88:
You can't do that. It would be your boot.img, but if you flashed the original boot.img with a modified system you wouldn't be able to boot (verify check would fail). Wait for auto prime to release the flashable zips for Android N and flash in twrp. If you really don't care at all about root or custom recovery, flash the complete zip from this thread and reboot into system afterwards. Skip the part about installing SuperSU or dm-verity and just restart. *** You will lose root and twrp by doing this *** This well make you're system 100% stock and you will be able to get the android N ota update. Again, please note there is no current root or custom recovery option once on N yet (why I'll wait for the zips from autoprime).
[T-Mobile LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] carnivalrejectq:
Thanks for the info. Currently on the latest CM build. It's not too bad but I just really enjoy stock with this phone for camera and other purposes. Thank you for the info and response. Not to be pushy but how long you think it'll be before root is had for the H830-N? I may just wait for that zip too.
[T-Mobile LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] jeffsga88:
As soon as he releases the flashable zip file for N there will be root for anyone already rooted with custom recovery as after flashing you just reinstall SuperSU. As for how long, who knows, I can say from what I've seen he usually posts them really quick and N just hit t mobile couple days ago, so give it time. As for the rooted tot, that will probably take longer. As for cm, is pretty solid but biggest issue is lack of video recording. You can use 3rd party apps like footej for video recording but... What I personally do is use dual boot and have resurrection remix as primary and stock ROM as secondary. Dual boot now works with the t mobile version so maybe that's something you want to check out if you like cm and stock too. If you decide to use dual boot make sure you read my posts about how to use it with t mobile as it's a little different than with other variants.
[T-Mobile LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] autoprime:
maybe someone beats me to the zips and it doesnt matter.. but if not.. I'll be posting 20A zips and other fun things after I get some sleeps. Good news (if it hasn't be posted elsewhere yet).. anti-rollback fuse is still v01 like 10D, 10J etc. so the 10D TOT should still work for those on stock 20A and want TWRP.

You're quoting an old post. At the time that post was made recowvery was not known to work on t mobile h830 N and I was simply warning to hold off on upgrading to N until root method was 100% figured out. After a short time people realized it could work too root N. There are threads specifically for rooting N now. Also the method for rooting and getting TWRP on N is actually better than it was on MM :) Anyways, welcome to the g5 family :p

[Asus ZenWatch] itm:
Recently I've had a problem running certain apps on my Gen 1 Zenwatch. When the app opens I get a message saying "Screen overlay detected...To change this permission you first have to turn off the screen overlay from Settings->Apps. There's a link to "Open Settings" which does nothing when I tap it.

Examples of apps that have this problem are Shazam (after I tap the tick on the "Allow Shazam to record audio?" prompt), and a voice recording app (after a similar prompt). So a common theme might be apps which require access to the mic?

My build number is M1D64F, and my phone is an LG G4 running Marshmallow. I've looked at the app settings on both watch and phone, and can't find anything related to screen overlays. If I open Settings...Permissions...Audio Recorder on the watch the microphone shows as DISABLED. If I tap on it I get the "Screen overlay detected...." message again.

Any ideas for how to fix this?
[Asus ZenWatch] blackice000:
So far, the best answer I have found is to go to the Settings--> Apps --> Draw Over Screen (or something similar) and UNCHECK all of the boxes. Then launch your App and select the permissions it wants/needs from the dialog box. Then go back and recheck the Apps you'd like to be able to draw over other apps at will. A workaround, for sure, but it does work.

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] hilarfwxda:
Guys, READ THIS 100% BEFORE MESSING WITH YOUR DEVICE. YOU MUST BE ROOTED TO DO THIS, AND YOU MUST HAVE ELEMENTALX KERNEL INSTALLED. If you do not know what you are doing, what root is, what a kernel is, or how to begin, it's likely best you stop now...with that said... I figured out a way to enable double tap to wake on the pixel that actually works as I have already done it. Visit the following link: (ignore the fact that the thread is about the Note 3. This is an android apk file that works on 7.1, and on the Pixel just fine.) I am using it on my 5" Pixel as I type this even, however, Although I do not think it would have any trouble on the 5.5" Pixel XL, do not hold me to it working on that device, as I have not tested it. USE THIS INFO AT YOUR OWN RISK. I did not create, contribute to, or assist in any part of creating this app, and take no credit for it. The app downloads with a file name of "app-release.apk" (odd I know) but it is in fact the "Kernel Adiutor MOD" app. Once the kernel is installed, and you have RE-RUN THE ROOT METHOD, (which is the boot-to-root.img you should have already done when you rooted your Pixel), then download the app, install it, got to the menu icon at the top left, go to "Misc Controls" toggle the "Apply on Boot" to "On", and the "Toggle SE Linux" to "Off" which changes the status to "Permissive", then reboot, and return to the app where you need to go to the menu, tap "Wake Controls", and toggle the "Apply on Boot" to "On", and "DoubleTap2Wake" to "Halfscreen". It works anywhere on the screen. I tested it multiple times (the double tap that is), but for some reason "Fullscreen" setting will not stick. After doing this, reboot again, and BOOM ! You have double tap to wake !

PLEASE NOTE, AFTER A REBOOT, THE SET ON BOOT NEEDS YOU TO UNLOCK YOUR PHONE AT LEAST ONCE, AND TAKES SOMETHING LIKE 2 MINUTES OR A LITTLE LESS TO APPLY THE SETTING, AND FOR DOUBLE TAP TO BEGIN WORKING, BUT WILL REMAIN WORKING SEAMLESSLY FOR THE DURATION OF THE DEVICE BEING POWERED ON (FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN SO FAR) JUST AN FYI. BEST I CAN GIVE YA GUYS, I SIMPLY FIGURED OUT PART OF THE CONFIGURATION TO MAKE IT WORK. IN THE SETTINGS YOU CAN TURN OFF THE NOTIFICATION IT CREATES AFTER APPLYING THE SETTING IF YOU WANT.

Hey guys! Thanks in advance for any help or clarity you can provide.

I had to switch to T-Mobile from Verizon. My device isn't rooted, modified, or in any way different than factory. However because of the switch I've had some functionality that I've lost. Namely the ability to get software updates. This phone has been rooted before, and I'm very comfortable with the process of loading up different software. The question I can't find anything on is whether or not installing the T-Mobile firmware will brick/cripple the device.
