Hey guys, I had my V20 rooted, then after a while, I returned to stock. Upon telling a buddy of mine this, he was wondering how I did it, and sure enough my method didn't seem to be known that much. So here's a guide to restore the T-Mobile V20 (H918) to 100% stock.

First off thanks goes to cbucz24 for extracting the TOT into IMGs. Also, thanks to meraz9000 for making that possible.

Ok, first off there is one draw back. You MUST have access to TWRP, or the ability to install TWRP. First you want to download the system, boot, and recovery images. I pulled them from the IMG zip mentioned above and zipped just those three. You can download it here.

Secondly, unzip those onto SD card, or internal storage if you don't have one.

Boot into TWRP. Easiest way is to use ADB "reboot recovery". If you can't do that, hold volume down and power button, and when you see the LG logo, release the power button for about a second, then continue pressing it. Say yes to both prompts and you'll get into TWRP.

Next BACK UP /SYSTEM! This is very important. Whenever you make a change to anything, make a system backup. DO NOT SKIP THIS.

Next, go to Install and in the lower right tap images. Find system.img and choose that, and choose system image. Install boot.img onto boot. Now reboot to system. If it boots properly, go back to recovery and flash recovery.img to recovery. When those are done, reboot to bootloader, and relock the bootloader (for SafetyNet).

You're done!

If you have any questions, just ask.

Please use LGUP and the KDZ file to restore from now on. It is a much reliable way.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] netgar:
Vuciz, so basically you flash system, boot, and recovery images in twrp one after the other, reboot to bootloader and relock the bootloader? Or you reboot after each flash?

What do u mean by relocking the bootloader?

Thank u so much for your help
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vuciz:
Only reboot to the bootloader after everything is flashed.

Once back in the bootloader, connect your phone to a computer and run the command "fastboot oem lock". Make sure you have ADB and fastboot installed.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] lonejedi:
Thank you. That worked perfectly.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zacharee1:
It's really good to see that the bootloader unlock is reversable, unlock with the US996 official unlock. I'll be rooting in a few weeks now for sure.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] dynamikz:
This works perfectly. Thank you!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] VegaMaddroxx:
Quick question, after i choose the system.img do I just swipe to flash from there and not select a partition? Thanks.

I went ahead and swipe to flash but it wont says to select partition but my only options are boot and recovery?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] UniX1rm:
Hi, I got a quick question. When you relock the bootloader, does the triangle go away or does it stay when you boot? does it turn red then?

Thank you,
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] dynamikz:
The unlocked bootloader warning goes away. No triangle
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] charlie.s:
Try updating TWRP to the latest version.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] VegaMaddroxx:
That was it :). Thank you very much worked perfectly.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] UniX1rm:
Sweet. Last question, TWRP stays in correct? I am trying to get stock recovery but I am not sure if I can do that! I know we don't have the proper flash tool yet to do that, but was wondering if anyone here was able to achieve that!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zacharee1:
The OP describes flashing recovery.img, so I'm thinking it probably restores after a reboot.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] dynamikz:
I'm fairly sure that TWRP is overwritten when you flash the recovery.img partition with the stock recovery.img. I didn't try to access TWRP following my return to stock efforts as I was going to warranty repair my V20 due to the blown speaker issue.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Perion:
Do be very careful with this, I've found from experience that there is no going back from stock recovery if the system won't boot until there is an LGUP dll or equivalent. TWRP is your safety net in regards to everything else going on in development right now, but if you flash the stock recovery and the system decides not to boot, you'll have a paperweight until development catches up. The stock recovery is very limited (VERY, about all you seem to be able to do is factory reset, which likely only wipes the data partition from the speed that it goes through), and fastboot flashing and partition management have been disabled in the v20.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jjr3211:
Wanted to do this bit I can't seem to download the files fro m the op
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jjr3211:
never mind i figured it out
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nitemare3219:
Yeah... what the hell is the point of backing up SYSTEM if you also are flashing the RECOVERY? You won't be able to save yourself even if something does go wrong. Leave TWRP on until the system boots properly. Then go back into TWRP and flash the stock recovery.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] bobbarker2:
Is there any download for the US996 stock?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vuciz:
That's my fault. I thought I mentioned to boot into system fully before flashing the recovery. I'll edit OP.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] andrewjt19:
So I followed everything in the OP and after booting into the system to make sure it worked, I lost TWRP. I cannot even reinstall it using this guide. Is there a way to flash the stock recovery? I no longer have TWRP and if I lock the bootloader it shows me that it is corrupted.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vuciz:
If you can boot into the OS then you should be able to re-run recowvery. Does that not work? Try the automated process for it.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] andrewjt19:
For some reason it is not working or at least twrp is not flashing... I have not tried the automated process yet. It's quite weird. It doesn't throw any errors when I do recowvery but as soon as I tell it to reboot into recovery, I get the red triangle.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] batsup606:
no recovery

When I flashed the first two, twrp, crashed on me and I wasn't able to flash the recovery. Now I am left with no recovery. Any workaround for this? Thanks!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] andrewjt19:
That's where I'm at now too.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] batsup606:
I decided to leave the phone with no recovery and it works well. Just, rooting the phone won't be able work. I also decided to lock the bootloader and it works fine. No problems whatsoever
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] kibmikey1:
Make sure when attempting this you boot to system before flashing stock recovery, to make sure it boots properly, otherwise you'll have a problem. If it boots properly, you should be able to flash stock recovery from TWRP, and then reboot to bootloader and lock the bootloader, which should trigger a factory reset, re-enabling default encryption and stock status. Basically, make sure all is good to go before you get rid of TWRP, because you will need that if anything goes wrong.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] technocrat7:
After I did the first two, system image and boot.img

I wasn't able to boot up. It stuck on the tmobile screen forever, so soft brick?

I was able to go back by restoring using TWRP

*EDIT*

never mind guys, patience is a virtue. I just waited like 10 minutes and it eventually worked and booted up. I didn't realize it was actually processing while stuck at the t-mobile screen.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] batsup606:
That's what I did. Everything worked perfectly and when I tried booting into twrp it said there wasn't any recovery:confused: I then tried re-rooting it and didn't work cause of no recovery
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] andrewjt19:
Well I currently have no recovery and can't seem to get recowvery to work to install TWRP. I CAN boot into the OS though. I don't know what to do to at least get TWRP installed. I have yet to try the automated process.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] technocrat7:
One I flashed System.img and boot.img. I no longer had TWRP either. But I did still have my unlocked bootloader.

From this point, I followed the recowvery tutorial from right at Step 2 where you install TWRP from scratch again.

Boot into the OS, put your mode in File Transfer mode, and then transfer all of the recowvery files, dirtycow and all that hooplah including the TWRP.img onto your device and follow the github recowvery tutorial for setting up dirty cow from scratch.

You adb push all the files in /data/local/tmp or something and then follow the tutorial.

After I re-did the recowvery process, I had TWRP again, I ran the no-verity.zip and then did the "wipe data" step to remove encryption.

After it booted up, I was able to adb push my SR5-SuperSU.zip and then root it.

And then bam, I was good to go.

My situation was different though, I needed to go back to stock for a purpose of unlocking my SIM, once I did that, I wanted to put TWRP and re-rootwmy device. And this guide worked perfectly.

Thanks!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] batsup606:
I will try your method. My purpose was the same, to unlock the sim, but when trying to return to stock I was left with no recovery. But hopefully this works, thanks!

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] kibmikey1:
take the first two letters out of the last word in the command you used to UNlock your bootloader and you have your answer.

I tried to boot Into recovery I cannot if you have a moment to help.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] dimm0k:
curious, how did you guys even know it had to be stock to unlock the SIM? luckily I remembered reading this bit of info from one of you guys, but it wasn't until recently that it dawned on me that I had to go back to stock to unlock as well. pretty sure I was able to unlock in the past while rooted.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vuciz:
With the device off, hold volume down and power. When the device shows the LG logo release power and press and hold again. Select yes both times. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE TWRP INSTALLED THIS WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] diehardbattery:
Okay, I think I've dug myself a hole here... I followed the instructions, booted after flashing system and boot, everything was fine. Reboot into recovery and got the red triangle. Tried Easy Recowvery script and kept getting stuck. So I decide to go the kdz route and flash H9810i thinking I was just wanting to go back to 100% stock anyways. It flashed, I rebooted and everything is still the way it was before I started. Except now I'm on H9810i, no root and still no recovery. I just want to go back to 100% stock.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] storm68:
Guess what? With 10i now your gonna have to wait like me for new roof instructions. We're locked out due to update locking exploit of rooting... Patiently we shall wait...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] diehardbattery:
Actually, I think I'm okay. I get the red triangle when booting into recovery but if I hit power and vol+ a few times it gives me options to factory reset, wipe cache, update from a file, etc. I don't know if I had it before I flashed the KDZ or after though.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] storm68:
Despite after you get back on you will not be able to root v10i... I repeat... You won't be able to root... If you just want stock out of the box then your good....
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] diehardbattery:
I'm good... I knew I wasn't gonna be able to root, I just thought flashing the KDZ would have taken care of everything. What confused me was that after the flash everything was still intact yet I was on 10i. I still lost TWRP so I couldn't flash the stock recovery that way. Maybe flashing the KDZ did? I wish I had thought of trying power and vol+ before I flashed so I'd know for sure lol. I just did the factory reset, locked the bootloader and it was all good.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] DOBBY0:
When I try to transfer the image files I get "It's file size is larger than the device limit"
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] turilo:
OK so I'm looking to sell my v20 and need to go back to stock and lock the bootloader again. I do have TWRP installed. So basically I have to follow the instructions in OP to achieve this.

Now I have a stock system.img I already created earlier while on stock. So I chose that in TWRP and then the boot.img as second flash option, flash both and then reboot correct?

The final step is to flash the stock recovery in TWRPand reboot and go back into bootloader and relock via ADB yes?

Just want to make sure I have that correct, thanks!

EDIT: All done as mentioned in OP without an issue. Time to.sell the v20

Thank you!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ErickF:
Has anyone found out how to fix the no recovery issue after flashing the first 2 files? My phone works but has no recovery. And does anyone know if ill be able to root with no recovery now that i have my phone updated to the newest version? I know its rootable but dont want to try it without the recovery
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] bad4life07:
I just went through this last night. Install 10i but lost recovery. The recowvery method still works and thus I flashed TWRP again
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ErickF:
How we you able to do it? I have tried to do the recowvery method and after putting in the command to go to recovery it just goes back to the os and when i try to manually go to the recovery it just says no command. Anyway you can help me here?

Cannot download your image. There seems to be something wrong with the link, DB
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Guessphx:
did you ever figure this out?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ErickF:
Never figured out how to put stock recovery back by flashing the kdz but when going through the root method again and when you use the command to go to recovery and just goes straight to the OS just continue the steps. I was able to flash twrp and root the phone even though it went to the OS and not recovery. Did it make sense? If not let me know
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] sdlopez83:
And this will work with 10j as well.?

Answer is yes.

but cant unlock sim with t mobile app

after flashing image and boot

i cant access twrp
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] sdlopez83:
You want to unlock the bootloader? Or relock it?. You don't need twrp to lock or un lock the bootloader. Just adb to fastboot

Tried to download the files in the OP but got 404 error, where else can I find the files needed? Thanks
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] lp894:
could, in theory, this same method be applied to sprint devices?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vuciz:
I removed the files for two reasons:

1) There is a 100% better and foolproof way.

2) Some people had issues with this.

I'll change the OP, and request a lock.

Hi,

I have a TF201 that has been sitting unused for sometime. It's in great shape since it was skinned and covered the day I got it.

I've been looking over putting the and Android6 ROM on it but run into some trouble. Seems like I'm not the only one. Am I going down a rabbit hole with this or are most tablets having success? :confused:

I'd like to update this and use it for a programming-coding class I start next month (www.primeacademy.io). I want to write code on it and watch videos.

What other options should I consider?

Windows an option?

Great thread above, I don't see where the root happens, I used 'Motochopper' to root my TF201 and the Asus provided unlocker.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] djibe89:
No need to root.

The root is built-in the ROM.

After ROM first launch, go to Settings -> About.

Tap 7 times on build info, it will unlock the Developer menu.

The root Access can be allowed from this Developer menu.

Hi, is this going to be the final version??

i realise that there's some memory leakage.. my gwes.exe is ramming up!!!

from 2mb to 3mb or close to 4mb... is that any issue?? anyone encounter this same issue???

Other than that, i assume its taking up my rom after i change till 10 different wallpaper....

Initially i was so contented that this program allowed gif file to be displayed but after these few issue, i am more of disppointed than excitement...

so to be confirm again...

Is this really going to be the final version or there is another better version coming up...

Just to clear my doubts... no offence...

Sorry...wrong post...my apologies...

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] gyozaman:
Samsung called me this evening. I am in Vancouver, Canada.

The person who called me had a very strong Filipino accent. I asked her if she worked for Samsung and she said she was a Samsung agent.

She asked me where my phone was and I told her I was talking to her on it. I probably should NOT have said that because she said she is typing out all the notes of the call. If there was a way to track my IMEI during the call, it probably wasn't smart of me to tell her I was using the Note 7 on my call with her.

She then asked me if I was using my first or second Note 7 ?!?!?!

She asked me to return the phone. I said the phone works fine and that I will return it when the S8 comes out next Feb/March. She read pre-planned messages to me over and over about 5 times on turning off the phone and returning it. She then said that Samsung will be calling me FREQUENTLY to return the phone now that they know I am still using it. I asked what my options are and she said send it back and get a refund in 25 days !!! Or send it back and get a S7 or S7 Edge. I said no thanks to both. She then told me don't sleep with the phone on my pillow or next to my head ?!?! She was not that friendly at all. More of a lecture and grumpy tone. I replied by telling her to write on my account notes that I think the phone works fine and that they whole recall was not necessary and overblown by the media, and told her I won't be returning the phone until sometime in 2017.
