It has been amazing watch all this develop in the past weeks. I have been flashing and rooting for about 10 years and this is the first time I've seen it all from the beginning. It is really amazing what a few of these guys are capable of...but this time for me I was left speechless. Gentlemen, (and ladies?) Thank you for all of your free time and dedication for making this possible for the average end user like me. We all don't show enough gratitude and I'm sure I'm not the only one amazed my all of your capabilities. Keep up the unbelievable work, and a nice donation is coming to everyone who contributed if I can find a way to donate to you all. Point me in the direction, and the cash flow will be on its way. Thank you again.

Sincerely,

dmoney4eal

Download twrp from the other thread. It should be RC8.. You can Titanium or quick boot to boot in recovery. The twrp should be a img type file. Once in twrp click install>bottom right it says select image I think >click twrp file you dl.> select recovery>install and you should be good to go.

Hey Corbs, thanks for your response and thanks for the walkthrough on how to upgrade. I have have to ask again though, is it even necessary for me to upgrade to the newest version of TWRP considering I am already rooted.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] bezeek:
I've been a little pressed for time this week, so sorry for not answering everyone's questions directly, but I've uploaded a new version (1.3b3) that should make some causes of failure a little more obvious. Please avoid the -noadb builds unless you're on dialup and can't wait for an extra 1.5MB download, or have a good reason to want to use your own.

I will be out of town until next Tuesday, and probably won't be able to roll out any more updates until then, so please sit tight, and best of luck to everyone still seeking to get their H918 rooted!

I had this issues running easy recovery in administration mode. It ran when I run easy recovery normal. Make sure the adb files are in the easy recovery folder

---------- Post added at 02:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------

Their were some fixes but I didn't notice anything different. So I don't k ow if those were major fixes. If you ain't having any issues then you shouldn't worry. But I like to keep updated on things whether their small fixes. Just my opinion
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] bezeek:
Since (AFAIK) we can only enter recovery on the H918 using adb, it can be tough-to-impossible to get into TWRP in the event of a bootloop. Newer releases come with a bit of code disabled so that among other things, factory reset commands (like the Vol Down + Power key combo) just bring you to the TWRP menu instead of wiping your phone. As of rc8, that's probably the most noticeable difference to the end-user.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jjjjayd13:
Titainium Backup can reboot into recovery!!!
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] bezeek:
Many apps have an option that runs the "reboot recovery" command for you, but that's moot when you're stuck in a bootloop. :rolleyes:

Your device does not appear to be unlocked.

The problem is that I already did that; fastboot getvar all shows

As expected.

So... what the heck?

1.3b3 worked :D!!!
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] DarkestSpawn:
Open a command window to the folder containing adb (You can shift+right click on the folder adb in the EasyRecowvery, Which would be C:\Users"YOURUSERNAMEHERE"\Downloads\EasyRecowvery-1.3b3\EasyRecowvery-1.3b\) type in "adb-recowvery kill-server" should solve your issue.

Worked great.

Had no luck whatsoever getting the auto-TWRP flashes to run, but I've used TWRP before. I just never manually installed it before, so the one-click felt like a comforting way to go about it. Device shows rooted.

Nice that's always good to hear. I took my time this morning getting everything lined up and I'm finally just about ready to pull the trigger myself, I'm not a "noob" by any stretch but I guess LG is just a whole different animal especially coming off an 8 year Samsung device streak lol.

How did you boot to twrp through hardware side?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Swizzle82:
Volume down and power at same time. When you see lg logo let go of power only count to one and press and hold it again. This will take you to a white factory reset screen just scroll yes twice and it'll switch into twrp..
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] chronos7:
I am having the exact issues that you were having, but when I tried to boot into recovery and I got to the white screen, it actually wiped and reset the phone.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Swizzle82:
Twrp is not flashing properly for you, that's why.. Put su and the other zip on your ext sd. Go through the initial process and let the program boot you into twrp recovery then unplug it, using twrp flash the other zip and then format data then flash supersu zip then reboot.

I was stuck in a boot loop last week I got out of it but lost root some how when I try to root again this is what I get

Any one have any ideas on how to fix this

never mind i figured it out.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jeep447:
Do you still have TWRP? If so and if it were me anyway I'd put the SuperSU zip (whatever the most current one is) on the sdcard and try to manually flash it in TWRP and see what happens. If you did lose TWRP somehow then I have no clue so hopefully someone else can give ya some suggestions, best of luck to ya though and at least you're not dead in the water anyway!

Edit: Sorry I just noticed you said you figured it out, what fixed though at least in case someone else runs into the same thing?

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Swizzle82:
Maybe try uninstalling adb and reinstalling it. I ended up having to uninstall mine and I used the minimal one posted back somewhere in the first few pages..
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jeep447:
When you said you recently got into TWRP did you format data when you did? If so did you go through setup on the phone - get back into dev options - turn on usb debugging - allow debugging authorization - and set usb connection to photo again? I actually had to revoke authorizations - adb kill-server - adb start-server - and then authorize debugging again after I got TWRP in order to get adb to recognize my phone again before I could continue.. so just thought I'd throw it out there in case it helps [emoji106]

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] digitalart:
Had same problem. I installed supersu then i did format data and lost root. now when you are formated and encryption free when you formatted you cleared the root as well so what you need to do go to twrp and flash latest supersu and you should be good
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Brutal-Force:
I appreciate it, but more work then necessary

I appreciate you making an EasyReacowvery for this, but honestly, it didn't work as it was intended. I kept getting errors (not a Tmo phone), then I would have to open another cmd window to execute adb shell before it would recognize ER. It would fail at the recovery.img.

Honestly, just following the instructions for Recowvery was straightforward enough. The only caveat was finding the different instructions in different places.

Thanks again for your work though. I am sure it will get better with time.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] crazyc78:
Just flash the SUPERSU zip and you should get root back.

I reboot to recovery and it says NO COMMAND and gives me the stock one. TWRP is gone and now Recowvery doesn't work...tried wiping data via stock recovery. My bootloader is unlocked

Is my recovery gone? I was looking and do i have to flash this stock recovery TOT? http://xdaforums.com/v20/development/lg-h918-tmo-t3488664

It wont do a backup of current recovery because it says recovery already modified. I dont really feel like disabling the verify option that it specifically told me not to disable but is this an exception? I don't have any recovery at all right now or its unbootable. Phone works fine besides that point

Edit: looks like i need to relock my bootloader and unlock again and basically start over? I even tried the ADB command to boot into recovery and it just starts up. I have no recovery whatsoever at the moment or i cannot access it twrp or stock recovery

Flash this again and select the option to go to a stock recovery. Make sure you go into supersu and unroot. And I probably don't need to tell you this but lock your bootloader as well. That should be good. So far IMO this is the best way to go back to unrooted stock.

If you want to install mods like Divine and Viper you want permissive. Being permissive allows these mods to work properly.

Not sure what you mean by backup. I was explaining that these steps could get you back to a stock unrooted state. As there is currently not a way to flash kdz or tot files that would flash the complete stock firmware through LGUP. As far as a backup you should have done that before you rooted if you wanted to keep your data. I used the LG backup app to make a backup of my data before attempting this.
