This might help. Sunshine does something wonky with the USB connection when it reboots and seems to get blocked up if the phone is connected to your computer so:

- do not have your phone plugged into the computer

- open sunshine, follow the prompts

- when it reboots, be patient, it took my phone about 1 minute before it rebooted sunshine

- you'll have to "accept" the warning message again

- then it does its thing and powers down. Power up.

- fingers crossed

So: try no USB and patience.

ps. my phone was not encrypted and somehow sunshine encrypted it so I had to flash everything clean. No biggie as that was my plan anyway but make sure you backup first.

[Huawei Honor Note 8 Questions & Answers] Nitemare3219:
I have a international Mate 9 right now, and overall it's pretty great, but I dispise IPS LCD and want an AMOLED screen. The best large screen option available for this year appears to be the Honor Note 8, but the biggest downside is that it lacks LTE support in the U.S. I'm on T-Mobile and have LTE where I live, work, and commute, but don't know how well HSPA+ is covered in those areas. This wouldn't necessarily be my primary device though as I also have a Pixel XL with my main SIM in it.

-How's the performance? The Kirin 955 is quite a bit slower than the 960 in my Mate 9, but I do not game or anything with my phone... just normal daily usage.

-How's the camera?

-Has anyone looked into trying to download/install the Nougat beta? I saw it's available to Chinese users, so hopefully someone can find a way...

-What's the software update process look like? Do OTA's actually come through? If not, how do you manually update?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Questions & Answers] xelon999:
Had 2 OTA updates already, LTE works fine in UK and Note 8 is very fast the Kirin 955 is still very very powerful with 4 ARM 72's and 4 ARM 53's with 4GB of RAM.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Questions & Answers] flint24:
I have a Chinese Honor Note 8 and I'm living in Colorado. I'm using Project Fi from Google which technically uses part of Sprint's network, but I get no LTE. HSPA+ works just about everywhere, and I get maximum 40Mbps download speeds when I have a strong signal. Project Fi puts me on the T-Mobile network, presumably because that's the strongest around here. To answer your other questions:

- The Kirin 955 seems slower than I'm use to. I had a Pixel XL before this and a Mate 8 before that, and the Note 8 seems a bit slower than the Pixel when navigating between apps. It's definitely not the flagship processor for Huawei. That being said, it's perfectly acceptable for every day use. The battery life more than makes up for the less than stellar processor.

- The camera isn't as sharp as other phones, but the amount of options you get make up for it. The Huawei camera app has tons of professional grade tweaks and customizations, as I'm sure you're aware of. But when I snap pics, it doesn't look as crisp as other new phones like the Pixel or iPhone.

- My phone is rooted and unlocked, so I do my updates manually. I'm looking for a compatible copy of Nougat, so if you guys have the link could you please post it?

Hi guys, I didnt have much luck with the Easy Recowvery method on my G5 (20A)

Sooo, i thought i'd share with you, (what i like to call) Hard Recowvery method.

This is the most effective way i've rooted & installed TWRP my H830 on 7.0 (Nougat)

First lets download the neccessary recowvery files located here (Put them all in a folder): https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/dirtycow/arm64/

Make sure you have the latest twrp for your phone: https://twrp.me/devices/lgg5h830.html

Latest Verity zip: https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt/

Latest SuperSU: https://download.chainfire.eu/1021/SuperSU/SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip

---

Shift+Open Command window in Recowvery folder

Note: Use app_process32 on 32-bit targets.

once in cmd window from your recowvery folder follow these steps:

---

adb push dirtycow /data/local/tmp

adb push recowvery-applypatch /data/local/tmp

adb push recowvery-app_process64 /data/local/tmp

adb push recowvery-run-as /data/local/tmp

adb shell

$ cd /data/local/tmp

$ chmod 0777 *

$ ./dirtycow /system/bin/applypatch recowvery-applypatch

"<wait for completion>"

$ ./dirtycow /system/bin/app_process64 recowvery-app_process64

"<wait for completion, your phone will look like it's crashing>"

$ exit

adb logcat -s recowvery

"<wait for it to tell you it was successful>"

"[CTRL+C]"

adb shell reboot recovery

"<wait for phone to boot up again, your recovery will be reflashed to stock>"

adb shell

$ getenforce

"<it should say Permissive, adjust source and build for your device!>"

$ cd /data/local/tmp

$ ./dirtycow /system/bin/run-as recowvery-run-as

$ run-as exec ./recowvery-applypatch boot

"<wait for it to flash your boot image this time>"

$ run-as su

(You need to rename the twrp img to "twrp.img" and put in the root of your internal storage, OR you can use this adb push command. The next two steps wont be neccessary if already done so.)

adb push twrp-3.0.2-x-xxxx.img /sdcard/twrp.img

adb shell

run-as exec dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery

"<wait for it to complete>"

$ reboot recovery

---

You should be in TWRP now,

flash supersu and the verity 4.1 zips. [Format Data] will remove internal storage encryption. so back up everything you need to with nandroid. lg backup, or titanium. (So i saw that they have updated verity zips but i just used 4.1)

I prefer lg backup, its easiest.

After you format data reflash supersu and verity zips for the hell of it. (you dont have to i dont think but i just did anyway)

Now just reboot, & enjoy (:

This isnt a method i created, i got it from this thread. and made the steps i felt were neccessary.

Just use the Automagically thread a few below this one. You have to be on 20A for it to work. I used that method and it worked on the first try. Now I'm on 20C and I'm rooted as well. This way is way too complicated.

[T-Mobile LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] joesee:
Well this is interesting. The script the people above are talking about never worked for me. So I came here and got my hands dirty and did it the manual way. Everything worked great until I formatted data and reflashed verity and su zips. After booting, all I can get the phone to do is boot to twrp. I've successfully flashed the 20A kdz back to stock with unlocked bootloader. Just wondering what I did wrong?

Once I get into TWRP the steps used were:

1 - Flash SuperSU

2- Flash verity zip

3- Format Data

4- Flash SuperSU again (for good measure)

5- Flash verity zip again (for good measure)

All these instructions make sense but at the top of the OP it says to NOT swipe to allow system modifications. I thought after formatting data and flashing the verity zip that we can swipe to allow. If we can't modify the system partition, how do we access it for busybox, etc..

Sorry for the odd questions - just looking for clarity!

UPDATE: Sorry, I resolved my own problem. Just don't ever swipe to modify system in TWRP and you're good. Not sure why this was the case.

I have this same problem. Did you figure out the issue?
[T-Mobile LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] codahq:
I figured out the issue. There are a bunch of threads floating around here that seem to think that the dirtycow exploit will work on 20A and 20C. That is definitely not the case. 20C it is patched so you have to KDZ back to 20A and then exploit. Then you can TWRP flash 20C if you want to go back to 20C.

I'm was on 20C though and dirtycow definitely doesn't work.

Ok so what did you have originally?

My phone's bootloader is unlocked and I'm on 20 C however when I flashed the 20c from 20A upgrade, my twrp skipped the flashing of the Super SU file. So I have an unlocked bootloader with 20c and no root. Would what you did get me root again?

i would flash back to 20a again get root then look for a flashable zip with root to upgrade to any of the higher roms i know there is some out there if u flash rom thats not rooted u lose root and im not sure if anyone has made anything to root the later roms yet
[T-Mobile LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dolst:
Mine was updated by T-Mobile's OTA thing so it was at 20C when I finally tried to root. That didn't work of course, but I found the stock 20A ROM at this thread and flashed it back. Then I used this thread's method and it worked like a champ!

I did have to tweak the method a bit. The SuperSU and no-verity zip files were in the /sdcard (internal storage) folder, but when I booted into TWRP it couldn't see them because it was unable to mount the encrypted partition. I put the files on an actual SD card but since I had popped out the one that was already in there, apparently TWRP didn't remount it automatically. I couldn't figure out which block device it was, so I went into TWRP's terminal and just typed reboot recovery to bring TWRP back up. This time it mounted the external SD card and I was able to load SuperSU and no-verity and continue the process.

I now have a rooted G5 and I'm about to rip out all the T-Mobile bloatware, etc. Thanks a bunch for this thread! Surf Wisely.

Edit: Using SuperSU binary I was unable to run Snapchat! SafetyNet test failed. Fairly sure it's related.

However, I reflashed stock 20A and reran ditycow. This time, I installed the latest Magisk via TWRP instead of SuperSU. Fully rooted now, been using it for a few days, able to run Snapchat and even Pokemon Go! (Maybe I'll get around to playing it sometime.) Pokemon Go was not possible with my rooted G3.

Anyway, if anyone using this method has encountered the problems I have, consider Magisk instead of SuperSU. Otherwise, this method is solid!

well I'm glad that I found this thread, but I don't really have much knowledge of what I need to do after where Ive gotten, but its on this thread. Of that I am sure. Istarted with 20i and assumed that I could simply unlock my bootloader then use up with a tot that had root and twrp.. nope... so the flash failed midway in and the phone would not let me back in- boot looped , I didn't have a proper tot or gdz to get me back because I couldn't find one then I saw the 20a file and poof! I'm up again, I have tried downloaded soo many and none work or are only hosting partial files. Anyays I tried using the most recent twrp I could find 3.2.1 dropped it into the fastboot(renamed) and loaded it in, it started then it failed(I just found the one I think I need (3.02 but lost the page with the instructions how to). I tried several things in hopes that it would but nope... So why did it fail? I know I unlocked the boot loader because every time I reboot I get the big ass caution screen now that I'm not wearing a condom; that and the oem and usb boxes are greyed out in the permanent on position.. Anyways, I really don't know if I have the skills/understanding to do all of this -- long way method.

thanks captain obvious :)

Well thanks for respondin and no you misunderstand, I don't need a recap of what I have already done. I got to 20a already and was happy that I did : originally I was (bootlooped), because I assumed rooting would be far simpler and was responding to his post. I was simply asking if someone had made a tot with root for it yet (or ever) ;) ?

My trying to flash root failed using the 10a and 10d with up. I found this thread after finding "autoprime's 20a using uppercut" thread to get out of the loop - this saved the phone so yay for me :D. I am aware now of the sequence, my problem is that putting twrp in fails at install every time in fastboot (the links were dead for certain files and I had to scour the internet to find them). I tried 3.0.2 3.0.2.1 and 3.2.1 of twrp and all of them fail. and yes I have relocked the bootloader and unlocked it 3 times to make sure it wasn't me messing it up I was going to try the dirty cow method but using fastboot to load recovery fails every single time. (short version) -adb says installing.... failed and res I re-enabled permissions after every lock/unlock.

That and another big issue for me (and this isn't new to me) - all of my devices do this for some reason? (just not this bad) most datum gets randomly wiped from the sd card. whether I use an 8gb, 32gb or a 64 gb sd when I load one up (going fast, very slowly or even 1 folder at a time ) after 7gb's or so, files start disappearing (4 times for this one with the 64gb). I have spent more than 60 hours screwing with it. I'm not doing anymore. next time I get one with 128gb built in like my s6 active's 64gb I never had so many issues with my xperia play and I used a 64 gb sd there, man I miss that. If only he had the power to play dolphin. :( anyways cheers.

Before I completely give up let me know if you would? I'm shipping ths baby back if I cant at least keep music on the sd card. so I'm trying again. just slowly and double verifying each file.

okay I got to 20 a from I after many,many hours. wait MANY HOURS. Rofl :D

anyway I'm searching the happy dirty cow deal and I saw you posted if

I have any questions ask. So..... :)

I'm just mixed up about the "file locations." I used my desktop location with the fastboot folder there. so it looks like

users\James F\desktop\fastboot>

this is how I unlocked my bootloader and where I keep my files when I'm using adb and fastboot

right there on the desktop.

the instructions say to do this:

$ cd /data/local/tmp

$ ./dirtycow /system/bin/run-as recowvery-run-as

$ run-as exec ./recowvery-applypatch boot

"<wait for it to flash your boot image this time>"

well... my question is - where the hell is that? I don't see any of these folders in my pc. and I'm not inexperienced- not that much.

anyways the locations through the walkthrough indicate files of this and that according to those locations right? so.... why are they all over the place?

I mean local\temp

dirtycow\system\bin

so... am I not using adb and the fastboot folder

or just adb? and if so don't I need to place "certain files" in the respective locations?

or are those folders in the phones directories?

anyways answer or don't, but I would appreciate one anyhow. Oh and I gave you a thumbs up- if that matters? :D

Hello, I wouldn't send your device back just yet. I have an LG-H30 and am rooted running Fulmics ROM which is the most stable ROM I've every used besides stock ROM. When using the hard recovery method, you must always use rename twrp.img to recovery.img. Just follow directions exactly as they are written and you should be fine. I also have a 512gb sd card installed and dont experience any data loss. Could be the ROM you are using. Like I said, fulmics is a very stable rom.
