I don't care about LG store either, but if I did, I'd just reset and use the store. I've been using OK GOOGLE for hours now. It works fine. It took a while comparing with my wife's non rooted V20 to be sure I was on Assistant and she wasn't.

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] SkyPhone:
It's described in an earlier post, but basically, I booted into TWRP, mounted the System partition and used the TWRP terminal to fix permissions.

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] SkyPhone:
You'll see the LG logo during the process. That's when you briefly release only the power button (while still holding vol down) , then repress pwr and hold both it and vol down until you get the factory reset screen. Say yes there and on the next screen and you're in.

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] thatisandwas:
For anyone wanting to change their emojii and not sure if you want to use that switcher app, its very simple. Install ES file explorer (i can't imagine most of you don't already have it) and go to system/fonts and locate "NoToColorEmojii.ttf" and rename it to your liking (i just renamed it with NoToColorEmojii_OLD.ttf). Then download a replacement TTF emojii file, i used this one :

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3nKnbyFrS1jSjJXUVdySTZFWmM/view?usp=sharing

download it and put it in the same folder the old one is in, reboot your phone, and viola, you're good to go.

Hope this helps!

I was right there with ya ready to quit dude, I know how frustrating it is. Did you follow those steps to a T? I had to Uninstall ALL drivers and then use the other version of fastboot and then manually choose from the list the driver I had installed. It's easy to miss something.

This isn't working because after pressing factory reset TWRP runs Open Recovery Script and does actually restore the devicd.

I've gotten into TWRP a dozen times with hardware buttons. It works for me every time, reliably. I'm not saying you're wrong. But if it doesn't work for you, there's a difference.

---------- Post added at 03:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 PM ----------

After reading this, I was worried, so I tested again. My V20 goes into TWRP with the pwr and vol down buttons without wiping anything.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] slayerh4x:
That's weird I don't know how yours is the only one that works. We tested it with a bunch of phones.

So the Factory Reset screen comes up, you hit Yes on two screens and it goes into TWRP not ORS? Which version of TWRP did you flash?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] SkyPhone:
Yes. the Factory Reset screen comes up, I hit Yes on two screens and it goes into TWRP. I flashed TWRP linked on first post.

twrp-3.0.2-0-beta4-h918.img

Then I did a format data, sideloaded SuperSU.zip from the link on the OP and flashed it.

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] SkyPhone:
FYI, At one point I desperately needed to get into TWRP with keys to fix a permissions issue when I was soft bricked and couldn't get adb running. I didn't want to wipe, but finally gave up and wiped (I thought) only to find myself in TWRP and not wiped. It was at that point I rembered reading another post saying they had gotten into TWRP exactly that way, so I think at least one other person can do it and has posted that method early in this thread.

I may have wiped at some point before rooting.

I am Rooted with TWRP and Im having the same issues as most with system partition not mounting. I flashed superSU from microSD along with no-varity so working root. I went ahead and made a Titainium Backup and FlashFire backup(for what its worth) with Google Assistant working and new Emojis. I would feel better with a TWRP backup or two. So I guess we are all waiting for a newer build of TWRP? I do have one other issue with the locked bootloader.. I get the screen saying cant read bootloader may be corrupt or something for about 10 seconds then boots normally. I thought I read of someone else with similar issue. Is this pretty common?

System is never mounted in twrp when you first boot into it... Ever. it mounts whenever you install a Rom. Or any other mod.

If you want system mounted just to browse the file manager just go to the Mount settings and mount it yourself with in recovery
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jcadduono:
No, system is mounted r/w the moment you swipe to enable system modifications. This is when TWRP will disable the stock recovery restoration script.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jthrasher47:
That's what I meant by when you first boot into it after install.

And I think that are meaning system isn't mounted ted by not being able to browse to it.. As under the mount screen.. But they simply need to mount it

I tried to do a backup. It starts with "Failed to decrypt data. Unable to decrypt with default password. You may need to wipe data"

Is this normal? Do others see that? It seemed to proceed with the backup, but I don't know if the backup would be good.

FYI, I'm able to boot into TWRP with keys. I did format data, but possibly at a different point than the OP instructs. I hesitate to wipe data if it's going to cause me to lose the ability to boot into TWRP with keys, particularly since during key boot into TWRP it says it's going to wipe everything in a factory reset. I'd rather not do a factory reset right now, so I thought I'd check to see if the timing of the data wipe procedure could be why I can boot into TWRP with keys and not usb/adb.

BTW, I see the same Unable to decrypt messages in TWRP if I use the file manager, but it seems to work correctly to change filenames, permissions, etc.

You need TWRP for root. But you can leave the phone encrypted. Just don't format data inside TWRP, and it will use temporary storage to hold SuperSU when you push the ZIP to flash. I've done it twice now, and works great.

Do any of the LG flash tools work for this device? I could always fix my G2 by flashing stock image and starting over but I think I read LG flash tool doesn't work for V20. Im pretty screwed so im willing to try whatever. I do have one good TWRP backup (i think its good) and I have a FlashFire backup but minus the boot partitions.
