[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnhux7:
I just saw an article saying this the Samsung S7 edge is getting Android 7.1.1 in January.

We have been told that were in February !!

That ain't bad. I don't understand why people are saying it takes to long ?

I'm using 7.1.1 on other devices and there ain't that much difference what you can see. I think that the main changes are under the "hood"

The change from EMUI 4 - EMUI 5 is a big difference though

John
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] CronaMell:
Yes, as long as it's nougat (and stable) it's ok.

It's better for the OTA to arrive late and complete rather than now an unfinished
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnhux7:
That is exactly my thinking.

I would much rather wait a bit longer for a finished ROM than get it now and have lots of issues.

We have a truly great phone.

I'm testing this beta N on my Honor 8 and my flat mate has the PIXEL. I have had no issues with my phone at all, it's really stable, really fast.

It's only on Android 7

His Pixel is on Android 7.1.1 and it has issues. No in call audio. Battery shutting down at 20%.

Thee pixel is a great phone but I would honesty rather have my Honor 8.

Just be patient and we will get all the updates that are available.

John
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkGuyver:
I wouldn't be surprised if that is true. As the original 7.0 release of Nougat wasn't very well received on some devices.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] CronaMell:
If the hardware is great while the software is awful, that would make a pretty awful experience
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnhux7:
My experience of using this honor 8 on the beta N programme is really good.

I have not rooted the phone. I'm only using themes & fonts that I can use without root.

I think it's really positive & will continue with stock firmware.

It's the first time that I have had an Android phone and not rooted and put custom ROMs on etc.

John
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] CronaMell:
I'm on the edge between updating toN or waiting for stable
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnhux7:
I would say either just be patient and wait.

( it's easy for me as I have other phones to play with )

Or go through the process of unlocking bootloader, TWRP etc

But if you do just make due sure that you have the skills and the knowledge to go back to stock if you want to.

I'm personally going to stay with stock as I think that EMUI 5 N beta is really cool and I can do all I want with it.

Will I ROOT etc in the future ?

Yes Absolutely ! That's what Android is for !!!

John
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] CronaMell:

[T-Mobile LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ynot:
Here's how I got it to work. When I opened the script to run it. I first chose option (5) then click enter - then choose option (7) then click enter - then choose option (0) then click enter to bring you back to the main menu. Then choose option (1) and run it. Once you get up to the part where it says Recovery Successfully installed. Do not click the enter button to reboot and go onto the next step. I manually took out the battery and cable and then put the battery back in and Held down the Volume Down & Power Button to manually get in TWRP recovery. My problem was that if I let the script reboot the phone for me it will not let me get in TWRP. After you get into the TWRP you can do your Wipe and Flash your SU and the No Verify Encrypt Files and you are good to go. I hope this helps those who has experienced the same issues as me with not being able to boot into TWRP with the script.
[T-Mobile LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Still_living714:

[T-Mobile LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] costarican:
a bit confused as i saw another thread with different steps but same exe , do i download the recovery.img to my phones memory and then run the command ?
[T-Mobile LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] RealPariah:
Oh, thought this was obvious, right click script and runas admin. You need to use binary from script if you use system installed one and they're different versions and you run adb devices with a newer binary script adb may not load.

Not listing device

Be sure you have allow drivers to install (they install when in android, recovery, and fastboot separately so be sure you have drivers installed and restart after install (can skip, but trust me some times restart just fixes Windows issues).

Run as admin

I use command prompt more manually:

<win key+r>

Type cmd and hit enter

runas /user:%computername%\administrator cmd

Then enter password. Now in new command prompt window (title should have administrator in it) I cd to script folder and run batch file.

If that confuses you you can go to script folder right click script holding left shift if you don't see it right away (while you right click) then look for run as administrator in menu

You must have a password set on the administrator account for runas to work. The right click menu option does not share this requirement.

If in doubt, if you been issuing adb commands yourself restart, use new USB port you haven't before, watch drivers install, open script folder, right click the batch file, click run as administrator, make sure to tap to authorize adb on device screen.

This should work granted you have the drivers installed, and Windows has finished installing them, you tapped the prompt on your device screen to allow the adb connection, and you run script as administrator.
[T-Mobile LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] RealPariah:
Yeah, some devices you can root online and this may get added at some point, but no computer less method I'm aware of yet.

That sounds like you had an issue flashing an image. I would grab factory 20A from the forums here and lgup it then once it's factory and booted then try to root. I recommend downloading fresh copies don't use the same ones you did last. There's file checking but you never know.

If you are missing files in the exploit folder your anti virus has "cleaned" them. Disable your anti virus, download and run script, enable antivirus. In technical terms the exploits are "viruses" in that they take advantage of code flaws to get us higher level root access. So yes technically a strict virus scanner would flag them, but they are known to us and doing a job we ask of them so they're ok for this purpose.

[T-Mobile LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] YUNG_JON:
Just wanted to let everyone know that this did not work for me on 20C. Tried six times, including disabling integrity verification. It goes great until "exploiting /system/bin/applypatch," where it hangs and then lets me know that the exploit process did not succeed. This happened every time.

Hopefully someone can figure out a solution; thanks to the OP and his sources for making it work on 20a though!

Lost root for good it seems

I had root from the original TOT file and upgraded to 20A, then I flashed Resurrection Remix and after awhile it started to random boot so I flashed the rooted 20A rom and lost root and TWRP. I have tried the Recowvery Script for 2 days now and have run into every problem that has already been mentioned. I thank you for your project and the time you have put into it. I guess it is LG and their software that is preventing us from having our phone the way we want them to be. <sigh> I guess it's back to Samsung, I really had hope for the LG G5 but alas, it was all for naught. But thank you again for hope.:good:

files in /sd/recovery?
[T-Mobile LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] relldroid:
Finally did it! But not by OP alone.

So after trying the method with the TOT file and learning it didn't work on 20C I ended up only having my phone boot into DL mode and nothing else (Boots into the Update Screen)

1.) I flashed a 20A kmz which worked successfully.

2.) I tried this method following all the instructions. After 2 days no luck. Actually everything worked until it would have to do something that involved rebooting to flash either recovery or the no-vert-sign (IDK what's it called anymore) but when it gets to that part my phone goes to green Android and says "No Command".

So what I did was kept reading this thread, found someone else guide (it's only 4 pages you'll see it) and I downloaded the recovery from his thread and placed it on my SD card instead of the one I got from the OP/ Zip

Now that I got that recovery I redid everything.

A.) Make sure u rename the recovery as Recovery.img and place on SD card.

B.) Run Script as Admin

C.) Enter 5 for extras

D.) 7 to disable something (forgot what it's called)

E.) 0 to go back to menu

F.) 1 to flash recovery

Success...

Phone reboots script then wants to flash the other thing.. press a button to continue

G.) I believe the script ask for something else I hit N for no

H.) Enter 3 now to flash SU

Success...

In short after downloading the OP Zip go to the guide someone posted in this thread, download recovery from there and follow those instructions. Make sure u get OP Zip bc the other guys first link doesn't work. Sorry for not being specific w names. Anyway I did it u can to. I was on 20C but after failing I ended up on 20A when I did this should work on either

Also make sure you are pushing the file to the SD card, just in case. (this wasnt the issue for me but..)

adb push [your recovery file location]\recovery.img /sdcard/

Guys I am so lost and really need help.

I have a stock 20a installed. I have verified the bootloader is unlocked. I also unzipped this script in the same directory as ADB (c:/adb/).

I was running in to a lot of issues so I re-locked and then re-unlocked by device. This seemed to get me further to install TWRP / recovery.img, as it was able to push the recowvery files. However, the script says it cannot locate recovery.img in the SD drive, but the file is definitely there. Am I missing something?
[T-Mobile LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] drmarble:
I think you need to put the recovery.img into the internal storage on the g5. I think windows calls the extternal/removeable sdcard sdcart. Android calls it something else entirely mnt/storage/3455-ac76 or some such thing. I am not used to how winows names them but try putting the files into the root of internal storage. I did it all on a linux box. The directories are named differently.

Good luck.
