Hi, I just got my Lg-H870 G6 and I was wondering how I could root it. (To enable stereo speakers and get xmodgames) Would rooting it reset my themes and customizations I have already done to it? Thank you for helping in advance.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jimbomodder:
Yes rooting will wipe all as you need to unlock the bootloader first to be able to flash TWRP then root.

Should this also now include US997?

Will you lose water resistance if you do this? I saw Jerryrigeverything replace the back on youtube, and he mentions that you will if you replace the back.

He actually removes the paint and makes the back clear - looks really good: https://youtu.be/Bavh96FXjTs

I would like to get rid of some google apps.

Can I (after flashing the EU rom) just flash micro/nano open gapps?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jimbomodder:
I'd say yes as they are still Nougat gapps, if it doesn't flash then you can find the apps using a root explorer and go to system/app+priv app to find and delete the applications you don't want, then a reboot and you should be able to uninstall them. Also link2sd is good for removing apps but only with pro version.

Thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately my phone just boots in TWRP and will not boot in android anymore. Choosing "reboot system" just results in booting back into TWRP.

What I did sofar:

-brand new H870 eu model

-I unlocked the bootloader

-flashed TWRP

-flashed magisk

-did a factory reset

-after this phone only booted in TWRP

-flashed OPEN EU LG-H870 10L ROM, no result, still in TWRP

Any idea how to get out of this situation? I don't mind starting all over if that's necessary.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jimbomodder:
I flashed twrp, then booted twrp and flashed supersu. after that I rebooted without issue.when I updated to 10l I simply flashed the zip and wiped caches. I recommend flashing stock recovery and do factory reset then, don't do one once twrp is booted
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] SleeperService:
Yesterday I received my H870, and I then successfully used this guide to:

-unlock the bootloader

-flash TWRP

-flash Magisk

Everything works just fine, but how can I reboot into TWRP? Currently, although TWRP has "stuck" (I can still boot into TWRP using adb to reboot into recovery), I cannot understand how to boot into it using the old power button+volume down shortcut.

When I attempt to do so, I still end up with the default LG factory reset screen. What am I doing wrong, and how can I boot to recovery without a computer?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jimbomodder:
if using the button combo then follow the stock lg settings to do a factory wipe and it'll boot to twrp

Hi,

Just got a great deal on an LG G6 from EE. Because of this I am going to assume that it will come with various EE bloatware and other things I don't want. The last time I flashed any phones were back in the SE W800 days so android is a bit new to me.

Can someone please confirm that I'm on the right track?

I found a copy of LG UP v1.14

KDZ file H87011i_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0108 (1).kdz from Lg Firmwares site

So if I use the LG UP program, using this KDZ I should have a fully stock LG G6 that will then be able to get OTA updates? Or will I be stuck using LG UP to update from here on out?

Thanks,

Anyway it seems you didn't understand my answer, yes, you have the Korean model, but you cannot install unsigned firmware on it because it hasn't an unlockable bootloader.

Yeah I get about 160-170k.

- Make sure you install 3dbench

- Turn off game battery saver in settings (it's on by default which is dumb)

- don't run the benchmark while the device is hot

- Run with screen brightness turned down and aeroplane mode on

This phone thermal throttles badly so that might be the issue here.

Hey Guys,

Currently I'm running unofficial resurrection remix 8.1 on my H870. I really want to go back to Stock, but the download of Flashable Open EU 11G keeps failing and LG Up with Uppercut does not recognize my phone.(Reinstalled all drivers 3 times) What else could I try? Could anyone offer the Open Eu Flashable rom via alternative mirror please ? Thank you in advance
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jimbomodder:
Try this. It's a backup of Jan build rooted. All you need to do is....

1)unzip the folder,

2) create a stock folder in twrp directory

3) place all files from zip there

4) reboot twrp and RESTORE the backup.

5) for root to work fully download and install magisk manager APK.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] nelze:
I just wanted to ask if anyone else has problems with WiFi connectivity on the LG G6.

This is my only gripe with this phone. It says I am connected to WiFi, but the connection keeps dropping every few minutes. I have to turn the WiFi connection on the phone on and off again to connect, but after a few minutes it will just drop again. Because of this, I can't update my apps properly. I can't even stream because the video just keeps stopping as the connection drops.

I have done all the solutions I found online, such as forgetting the network, resetting the network settings, changing the channel on my router, even doing a factory reset... The problem still persists! I tried bringing it to a service center but they won't accept it since they can't replicate the issue and according to them, they see no problem with the phone.

I have determined that it is just on this phone, AND it only happens on my home network. At home, I have an iPhone, Xperia Z1, Xiaomi Redmi 4, and an iPad which I tried and they all have no problems with the WiFi connection, it's only the LG G6 that has a problem. HOWEVER, the LG G6 has no problem when I'm connected to other networks outside my home (such as my friend's house, public networks, etc). The only way I can properly update my apps is if I visit another person's house. I even tried changing my router. This is driving me crazy!! Does anyone have the same problem or would know how to solve this?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] neoxx3m:
Probably your router and your phone doesn't like each other. :) You can try with different setup on your router. I had similar problem with my old Xperia Z2. Try to set your type of wifi network to b/g instead of b/g/n. It worked for me. Good luck. ;)

Hi guys, I have a problem and would very much appreciate your help...

So, I wanted to sell my H870 and wanted to return it to stock condition. I wanted to flash the Oreo KDZ via Uppercut and LG UP, but neither recognized my phone (connected in download mode). Then I followed the advice of someone in the Uppercut thread and zero'd all over /misc (at least that's what I think I did). No the phone won't boot, won't go into recovery (red google screen pointing to g.co/ABH) and won't let me flash anything claiming it's locked.

fastboot getvar unlocked

returns "no", which to me is strange, as it has been unlocked. Flashing "unlock.bin" again only returns "Error!! Bootloader Unlock key write fail".

Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance!

BR,

Andi

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Firetribe:
Okay, me once again. And again, thanks for the answer, but it was, to be gentle, not correct. IMEI is not stored in /misc, and my phone is NOT bricked.

It took quite a long time for me to notice, but aside from fastboot-mode LG devices have this firmware update-mode, accessed by holding Vol- when plugging a USB cable into a turned off phone. After that or rather, in that mode, Uppercut and with it LG UP perfectly recognized my phone, flashed the stock .kdz and after a factory reset with the stock recovery, everything works as intended. Including the IMEI.

I'm leaving this here, maybe it helps someone like me before he/she sinks more than 6 hours in this "problem" :D

Oreo Update

Hi everyone, this is my very first post in this forum, I comes with a couple of questions about the new Oreo Android update(I'm so sorry for my bad english):

--Front camera used to have a flash border, so my eyes weren't used to die everytime I used the flash at night, why did they change this? =( is there a way to change this and come back to the previous flash tool integrated by the camera?

--Now, changing from "silence" to "volume" with the buttons is ****ing annoying, you have to push the button 3 times to change and level it up, a new stepback, I was so happy when pressing once the button for leveling it up to the max or min...

Thanks and greetings guys!
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Killua96:
Probably i wasn't clear, test out the signal strength from the two phones and see if there are any differences. Also check that the the two phones are both connected to the same 2.4 or 5GHz network.

---------- Post added at 02:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:37 PM ----------

You can try to use the nougat camera apk, if it doesn't work then downgrade is the only solution, or wait for some custom rom based on the stock firmware (or for Fulmics update) if you have an unlockable device.

For the buttons same story, if you have root permissions maybe you could try to remap them, otherwise downgrade.

So I have flashed TWRP and Magisk onto my LG G6 with Oreo thinking I wouldn't have another update for a while, and today I got a notification that there is an update available with the additions of QLens, Bright Camera and Google Assistant to the camera app and improved usability and functionality.

I want to update, but I don't know if the only risk is losing TWRP and Magisk (two things I'd rather not lose but aren't essential), or if I risk losing all of my data as I'd have to decrypt my data when doing so probably.

Anyone have any answers or advice?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jimbomodder:
It most likely won't update if ots got a custom recovery. It is the v20b update but also changes the bootloader screen to lg g6 Thinq. To get the changes and update i would copy your full internal storage to either and ext sd card or pc, then do the update and reflash the twrp+magisk+melinas latest oreo boot.img. once its done and up and running just put ypur data back.
