Is there Cancel button? If yes then press cancel to skip decrypt. I also skip decrypt because I don't remember pass.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jeffsga88:
Go into tarp and flash no force encrypt or SuperSU as this will also disable the force encryption. No need to use the kdz method if it's doing encryption issue and you still have access to TWRP. Go to TWRP thread and download no verity zip and put on internal or external sd card and flash through TWRP or use SuperSU (you may want to format data from within TWRP first before flashing just to be safe).
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] G0bl1n:
Thanks for the advice but my issue was I COULDN'T go to TWRP, I was seeing the factory reset menu instead of TWRP and since this scenario was never mentioned I was thinking something is wrong. Later I did find the solution by autoprime on the forum, here it is:

If TWRP is flashed you must go through the default Factory Reset menu to load TWRP.

(unless you have a model that goes right into full recovery menu)

I have no idea why no one mentioned it, I was sure the flash wasn't successful.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jeffsga88:
Most people don't mention it that much as a lot of people on the LG scene already know if TWRP is installed factory reset screen goes to TWRP. Been like that forever with lg even back to LG G2 days. Why they do that no idea, that's LG for you I guess lol. Anyways, happy you got it working. :)

I got FW from page lg-firmwares.com and latest Android 7 is RS98810h. Could you let me know what Android 7 is version you download from OTA?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] FroyoBot:
The latest version from OTA update on my phone is RS98821a.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] FAUguy:
Whatever you do, DO NOT install the RS98810h firmware. I did that not knowing it was for a carrier called Brightpoint. Now my RS988 that had been working fine with ATT GoPhone now will not stay locked on LTE and is 99.9% on HSPA. I tried to reflash on of the older ones, and it will not flash. My only hope is that the RS98821a (KDZ flash file) will be posted and try it. Otherwise may have to contact LG and see about sending it in to be flashed so LTE will work again.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] FroyoBot:
Couldn't find the stock recovery anywhere. I was able to get to Nougat by downgrading to RS98811c found on these forums, getting the OTA to 11d, and then getting the OTA 21a.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] gdmaza:
Has anyone with 11d root and twrp been able to flash the 11c kdz with LGUP, to go back to the stock and receive and install N via OTA?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] AriesTruong:
I cannot use LTE and tried downgrading to Android 11c but it stuck at 10% so I have to re-upgrade 10h. Hope fw 21a kdz offline
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] AriesTruong:
Could you downgrade from Android 7 to 6?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] FAUguy:
The problem seems to be that once 10h (Brightpoint) is installed, you can't flash an earlier version (11c or 10d), as both of those fail to flash at 10%. Then you have to re-flash 10h in order to have a working phone.

Still hoping someone will be able to post the fill 21a KDZ file.

issue booting into bootloader

Hi all,

Thanks everyone for the great information!

I just got an RS988, and I am having trouble with the very first step of the rooting process, booting into the bootloader.

When I type "adb reboot bootloader" the phone just does a regular reboot. Not sure if it's relevant, but I'm also able to use "adb reboot recovery" but it just sends me to the screen with the fallen-over droid and I don't seem to be able to do anything.

Anyone have any insight what I might be doing wrong, or things I can try? Thank you in advance for any help.

It's got software version RS98811c

My rs988 is running on BrightPoint nougat rom and i want to downgrade to 11c version to get 21a and 21b update..

But it is giving me error, initially saying that is gonna change the file system when i say OK then it stops midway at 10 percent with an error code. the only firmware i can flash is the brightpoint nougat right now. Please help!
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] golfnz34me:
You can't. You're stuck on Brightpoint until LG releases the 21a or 21b firmware.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bupreno:
So what if I bootloader unlock and flash 21a complete.zip with twrp ?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] wolfu11:
Actually just follow autoprime's thread on here rs988 11c and you can get off brightpoint by flashing the zip that he created.

https://xdaforums.com/lg-g5/development/stock-rs988-11c-rom-flashable-zips-imgs-t3612358

Read the opp thoroughly and follow the steps he provides.

---------- Post added at 02:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 PM ----------

That would work as well. Just follow the.steps in the op.

11c takes you back to marshmallow 11d gives you fastboot commands. On 21a once installed you will get the prompt to update to 21b.

Any TWRP issues?

Thank you for this wonderful guide, about to root my LG G5 RS988 really soon!

I would just like to ask, are there any known issues with using this TWRP build? You stated in the OP that the build was working, but not entirely tested. Has anyone found any issues with using it?

Was rooting through Magisk the same process as SuperSU?

I'd prefer to use Magisk but the verity stuff has me a little confused. Right now I'm just sitting with the bootloader unlocked trying to get a better understanding of rooting this phone (verity, what to do about encryption..etc).

What you want to do is just flash the latest magisk and your set basically.

I unlocked bootloader and flashed TWRP.

When I got the boot into TWRP - it asked me to enter my security pattern(for encrypting or something like that) - I put it wrong(because touch sensitivity was bad) and after that, I could not enter the correct pattern. I formatted Data partition and flashed SuperSU - what will be wrong with my phone after that?

I could not flash Magiskafter flashing SuperSU - are those do the same thing: Magisk is the root but hidden??

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] striker1211:
I finally got around to doing this. The guide was relatively easy to follow with a few caveats:

Step 6:

To get into recovery (TWRP) after flashing you MUST pull the battery out to turn it off and THEN hold volume while sliding it back in then as soon as you click it in start holding the power button too. Then when LG pops up let go of the power button for a second but start holding it again before the logo disappears or else you will have to flash TWRP again.

Step 9:

The formatting did not come over very well from the H850 page. SuperSu will do the no-verity part for you if you are only wanting root so don't give any thought to the last line in the second OR block if you are flashing superSU.

I tried recording a video tutorial to the best of my abilities but I recorded it before and after the superbowl so it really goes off the rails after the game due to the liquor. It might help one of the four people who are still using this phone so I will post it below.

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Aragami84:
Hi, I'm new to this and trying to root my Rs988. I explored and read a lot.. but I'm at a point where I'm not sure what to do..

I explored and typed the "adb fastboot" and saw the phone reboot and saw the command line on the phone and some text... so I assume I have done everything right up to that point for installing adb and fastboot..

But I was hesitant to fast boot on the TWRP Rs988 img.. because I didn't know what to do next because I'm not sure I understand...

I downloaded the "no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip" and "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.82-20170528234214.zip" and put them in my SD card root.

So I assume when I will do the "fastboot flash recovery C:\adb\twrp-3.2.3-0-rs988.img" in my command line it will flash or load the img...

Then I'm told to not let it reboot on android... but there is no explanation of what it it will do or what I will see once I type the command?

Does it will say "Now you can close you phone?" or something... ?

I saw in another place that I needed to remove the battery then put it back...

Then I continue the process with ->

a. Using 2 hands.. use one hand/finger to press/hold volume down.. and use the other hand for the power button. Press n hold both buttons.

b. As soon as you see the LG logo on the screen.. let go of the power button then quickly press it again (never letting go of volume down).

c. Keep holding until you see the Factory Reset screen. Click thru the factory reset screens.. Yes.. Yes...

Then I also don't know what to do exactly.. ?

Do I need to Flash "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.82-20170528234214" or "no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0" ?

Are they the same thing ?

They both root the system? or I need to apply one after the other and by which do I start first ?

Also I need to do a backup before apply Su

Can anyone expand aon the actual steps I need to do ? and questions I have ?
