You should start again with a clean flash (reflash firmware + hard reset) and follow the steps carefully of the long version.

Make sure you ported twrp exactly for the firmware on your phone and that your firmware's patch level is from before 2017 february. Use the latest stable supersu and latest rce_univ.

hi my bro

sorry... excuse me i dont see (!) in step 2.1 swipe for all modifications. i do it and my problem (problem or my careless!?) was solved.

your method is awesome, and your guide in complete, but I was careless.....

thanks

excuse me again...
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] oblyvision:
After following your method, I realized that on the latest K8 K350K update (V10d) you can still root, but you can't perform any modification on /system, meaning doing that just barely giving you any beneficial (at least for some heavy-user like me). It is somehow locked to read-only, so you can't flash any mods such as xposed either via TWRP or push. I've tried this method like 4-5 times, took me a full day, and I went to this conclusion.

Also, when you do hard reset in step 5, you'll get 50-50 chance to softbrick your device.

Hi, I just followed your steps by "flashing the last firmware which was rootable" through LGUP and now it's hardbricked! won't charge nor turn up. I have a LG K10 (K430T, MTK), flashed latest stock firmware (dating September 2017), worked well, then "downgraded" to a 2016 stock firmware and got my phone dead. What can I do? Thank you.

Downloadmode doesnt work at all?
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] nufrankz:
When connected to charger doesn't show anything, doesn't power up and neither enter download mode or recovery. Fully dead
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
Well... im sorry about it. Something must have gone wrong during the firmware flashing... im afraid there is nothing you can do.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] nufrankz:
Well you must warn on the main post, when downgrading through LGUP hardbrick is almost likely to happen, I guess (that's what hardbricked my phone).

It is impossible to enter "Meta Mode" I know MTK devices have when they're flashed with wrong preloaders? I tried to connect a USB cable without battery to the phone with the VOL DOWN key pressed but it's not detected by Device Manager (as COM port) anyway. Or maybe Octoplus can fix it? Thank you anyway.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
I don't remember so many complains about hard bricking in the lg up thread... However i tried many ways to fix my k8 when i hardbricked (i deleted some necessary partitions in fastboot) but i couldn't succeed so i can't tell you how to fix it. I'm sorry.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] nufrankz:
and now that K8 is still hard-bricked? well nothing to do atm! :(
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
I exchanged the motherboard (i bought on with a broken lcd and took its motherboard). I can suggest you to do the same... its quite easy.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] oblyvision:
Odd, I've done so many times flashing with LGUP, upgrade-downgrade and nothing's wrong going on during and after process.

I own K8 too.

Brick?

Soo when I flashed the TWRP image I rebooted (according to instructions) and then suddenly an error shows up saying "No command" I cant do anything so I removed the battery and started it up. I booted up with everything perfectly normal and then it says, enter password 30/30 attempts remaining. I dont remember putting up a password but there it is. I cant enter anything

It gets stuck at 29/30 attempts. I cant do anything except type passwords. No drop down notifications. No recovery mode, no download mode. Its either password screen or off.

I want to know if this can be fixed please.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
Actually its not in the instructions to flash twrp... however download mode has to work. Read back in the thread there are some others ended up on the same screen as you. Download mode surely works so take out the battery then put it back and use lg up in refirbish mode and reflash firmware. Or use lg bridge + hard reset. Or just try to make a hard reset first...

Anyways i guess use used a wrong command like "adb reboot recovery" or something similar which leads to this screen...

infinite bootloops at the end

Hello,

I have followed all the steps for the rooting operation, all was perfect until the last step:

- install rce_univ.zip --> OK

- install SuperSU --> OK

- install rce_univ.zip again --> OK

- reboot to system --> It leads to an infinite bootloop with the "device corrupt" message (I let the phone about 20 minutes but bootloops never stops)..

Here is my configuration: phone LG-K350n (LG K8), rce_univ.zip v1.1, TWRP for the k350n10g firmware (which is mine) and superSU:SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip

If anyone have any idea of the problem, it would be great...

Thanks in advance
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
It can be three things:

1. Security patch date is later than 2017 february

2. TWRP not fully compatible - has to be ported for the exact firmware on your phone

3. You didn't have the "device corrupt" message before starting flashing the zip files.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] fabp38:
Thank you for your quick answer. I think the first point could be the reason: I have an Android version of August 2017. Shall I have to downgrade Android with a version prior to Feb. 2017 and next do the root operarion ?

Thanks
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] fabp38:
I have tried to downgrade with an older Android version (firmware 10e, release before Feb. 2017).. and the root operation was sucessful...

Now, my rooted phone seems to works well. Nevertheless I have two questions:

- I still have the "device corrupt" message once when booting... It's not very anoying but, in case, is there any way to remove this (maybe lock the bootloader again ?)

- As I downgraded linux version to enable a successful root operation, is it possible, with the phone rooted to patch the last Android version (released after feb. 2017) without loosing root privilege ?

Thanks in advance

Thats how i use it but there are not many comments on using it this way (i guess it seems a little complicated but once you finish you will see it's not that big of a deal). So if you decide to give it a try follow the description carefully!

PS: usually i make TWRP for both firmwares (you will understand why i say both when you read the description) and use them accordingly (depending on the firmware base which is on the phone).
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] SupahBlox:
So while I was derping around in class, I took a picture of my friend with the camera from messenger (I always do this) and sent them to another friend. While I was finding that person, my phone just froze and I couldn't do anything so I decided to restart it. It kept doing that everytime I start it up and always starts to shut down by itself when its too slow to respond. I tried factory resetting it but then after it shut down it didn't restart by itself it just went black. I turned it on and it showed the lg k8 screen and then the "Your device is corrupt bla bla" which is normal in rooted LG K8 phones and then turned back off.

Help please?

My phone is rooted

Okay so i know it was very clerly stated to not try and flash twrp to recovery using fastboot but i was just bored and gave it a go and it appears to have just removed the recovery partition because i can no longer boot into recovery using ADB and my phone can no longer install updates.

I am using a LG k8 k350n

(Unrelated Question)

So for some reason when recovery did work on my device everytime i booted to it my device would act as excpected until i attemt to boot to the OS and it would get stuck at the encryption screen saying 30/30 attempts or whatever it is.

i had a read about this online and i have found very few results on the subject other than a few very old reports of other (what i found to be) only LG devices and was just wondering if anyone else had info on this?

[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gottlasz:
Your recovery partition is not removed. When you tried to overwrite it with TWRP it was most likely succesful and then during first boot the system restored the original recovery otherwise it would not boot up. It's another question why you can't install any more uodates (maybe there aren't even any?) however you can use lg bridge's update error recovery function to restore the original firmware and everything should work properly again. Or just find a firmware you like and use lg up to upgrade...

As about that encryption screen. just let it go... i've met that several times and could not really figure that out... usually refirbishing via lg up helped.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] CR4IGY_BOY:
Yeah maybe I did not explain the update issue well enough but on device in the software update section my phone had a new firmware and the patch versions were different (sorry I don't remember) but once I clicked install now I would do a little preparing package or whatever it does to 100% reboot itself the show this device can't be trusted screen and go black until powered on and I would have the chance to attempt to install again.

In the end I ended up updating the device through lg bridge (as you said but just the standard update feature no error recovery) and that seemed to update fine although after my phone still thought there was an update but the firmware versions matched what I had installed this time

This annoyed me for too long so I tried to just install it anyway and it successfully booted into its update partition (thats probably not the technical name but oh well) and attempted to Install gave me a installing 1/2 and failed Instantly with an error code after start up it said update failed and let me check again I guess then it noticed it was now up to date anyway

"

Next time you try, please make a recovery log (In recovery advanced menu) and send it to me or upload it here!

Also upload or send me your boot image that you backed up!

So whats happened in between? Where is the recovery log?

It seems you were messing with your boot image at least this invalid battery message makes me believe that. I guess you need to reflash firmware with lg bridge or lg up in order to make your phone work again.

It's possible to repart every Android Phone. It's especially useful for Custom ROMs.

But it's NOT recommended for Stock ROM since this will break the ability to receive Updates from e.g. LG.

A good starting point is this Thread here:

(of course u'll need to adapt it to the actualy Device u want to modify)

After that u Guys can adapt it to get it to work with more comfortable solutions like i provide with a simple *.zip to flash in recovery.

(which is more safe ... the Solution over ADB is quite dangerous ... once u delete the wrong partition, your phone is soft-bricked and u can't flash it anymore!)
