After succefully install of TWRP made ROOT, then I went to install Kali via TWRP. Didn't performed any wipe, as stated in Kali thread, and rebooted the phone.

Reboot was unsuccesfull, got "Encryption Unsuccefull"error and with PASSCODE entry error. Phone rebooted by itself, and I stuck in TWRP bootloop. Then TWRP started to gave me mount error, and I couldn't do much from there. Wipe didn't worked too because of that mount error As I said, then I tried to flash your FW, but again, was just stucked in TWRP.

Luckily, with LGUP I fixed my phone

At the moment, don't have neither of TWRP, ROOT, or Kali.

Is your G6 a H870 International or some other variant??
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] jucca:
No. It's Int. version of H870
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] mrbeem:
Wanna try the twrp and root the way i did mine?? Everything mounts as it should in twrp and you can root with magisk or SuperSU. I will write how to do it step by step :)

Thanks, works now

bump this question - trying to clear up some confusion.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Killua96:
H870, there is a specific thread for the us version.

Anyway you could answer just clicking on the download link =)
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] chaos90222:
I can't mount/system and flash magisk using official twrp on H870, I use the copy log button in twrp, but can't find where the log stored.

But after flash the Richard based jOSH1X mod one, it works well, link is https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=961840155545577676
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] jimbomodder:
If you get that encryption warning then you need to flash stock recovery and do a reset
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] mrbeem:
Exactly. This recovery does not have data decryption built in, but if i remember correctly official TWRP for G5 didn' have it either until later updates. Use recovery from link above + no-verity or flash official TWRP to decrypt your /data and then flash above experimental recovery modded by J0SHX1, the root, magisk or supersu and all works well
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] chaos90222:
Which button combo I should use to get into recovery directly? Every time I use the vol down and power, release and press power again when LG LOGO appears, it ask me to factory reset, but I don't want to restore system.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] jucca:
Vol down + pwr button combo.

Release power button for a half of a second when LG logo shows up and then press it again. It's crucial to enter in TWRP on first reboot or you need install it again if boots normaly.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Antwanster:
Hello,

Im following everything exactly step by step and it doesn't work for me... I don't have TWRP, when I do vol down + power button, I get to the stock recovery...

Unlocked bootloader, Firmware:

V10F-EUR-XX

, following instructions religiously!
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] mrbeem:
You WILL get the white screen witk factory reset every timeyou try to enter recovery. Tou have to select yrs, and yes again. If you have TWRP recovery it will then start (after you select yes the second time. If you have stock recovery then it will factory reset your G6. After you flash TWRP using adb command: fastboot flash recovery twrp-x.x.x-... And get OKAY message in adb window on your PC, you must disconnect usb cable from your phone, do the button combo to get to the white screen with question abour factory reset, select yes with vol down button and confirm with power button, do the same again at the second white screen, and with twrp flashed correctly it will launch on your phone instead of factory reset.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Antwanster:
THANK YOU SO MUCH! :crying::crying::crying:
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] chaos90222:
ok，so I have to choose yes to get into recovery, but with trwp it won't wipe system though
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] mrbeem:
Yes, exactly. If TWRP has beed installed correctly it will launch instead of factory reset procedure. The actual factory reset is your default recovery mode. It gets replaced by TWRP, but to get to it you have to select yes when asked on both white screens.

After you've installed twrp, followed by Magisk or SuperSU root, you then download Android Terminal Emulator from play store, install it, and then to get to your TWRP again, you open terminal emulator and type: su (enter) reboot recovery (enter) and your phone will reboot itself to TWRP
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] chaos90222:
Thanks, got root and use advanced power menu to reboot recovery, it works fine.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] mrbeem:
Ok. Glad i could help
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Marcolino96:
Sorry I have a doubt, When I installed the TWRP I forgot to make the format data to make the data partition accesible in recovery so now I have all my files on that partition. But now, flashing the dm verity file, could I get the access to the data partition without making any wipe?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] mrbeem:
Supposibly yes. Give it a try. Latest version is 5.1 i think
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] surge27:
This supports both 32 and 64 gb international h870 single sim models?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Vaxxus:
I have a questino regarding the system partition. When I use twrp for flashing I always get told in red that twrp was unable to unmount and mount my system partition. The stuff I flash (new image, Magisk) seems to work fine though.

So the actual question whould be, is it normal for the system partition to be set in stone, as in the twrp can not unmount (and therefore not mount it again)?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] john_joint:
i had the same problem, can't mount system partition. inserting sd card helped me, then i could mount system partition... try that, hope it will help
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Marcolino96:
It works, but after reflashing also the recovery. After flashing of the dm verity5.1 file the recovery didn't recognize the data partition yet, so I tried to reflash also the recovery and now it's perfect
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] stalliongallery:
LG G6

good smartphone...
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Vaxxus:
That is odd, as I already have a sd card in the phone. But I guess I can try without one for a change :)

So if that whole "unmount/mount" system is needed for every flash operation I have to assume that my flash not fully 100% and that /system partition is still in an old state?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] mrbeem:
Hmmm... You know when you flash TWRP for the first time after system reinstall via LGUp... It asks you at the end, if you want to install Official TWRP app and if you want to install it as system app? If you tick both "yes", does the app appear in your app drawer? It does not in mine, so i guess every app that tries to flash itself to /system in TWRP is not able to, because /system can't be mounted. You can root your phone without /system mounted but you must remember that both, SuperSU and Magisk are Systemless.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Vaxxus:
you are right! I remember now ticking both, but ended up installing the TWRP app by myself wondering why it wasnt already there. So thats the point of mounting system.

I also had a look again, booting into TWRP and noticed that I am not able to mount system at all. When I go into the mount option I see only Data, Cache and Micro SDCard ticked. System and USB OTG (what means OTG by the way?) are not ticked and I can NOT tick System.

So is this something which can't be done on the G6 or the current TWRP version on the G6, or is it something I do wrong here?.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] mrbeem:
Not wrong. You have the Official TWRP. /system will not mount in an official version. Flash this recovery:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=961840155545577676

This is an experimental, yet fully working recovery. exFat external sd, system and everything else works 100%. Only thing it lacks is auto data dectryption but this can be done by flashing no verity 5.1, or if you're flashing over official TWRP there's no need to decrypt, just install recovery from link above and you're set.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Vaxxus:
After rereading everything again, I think I should clarify that the mount errors are not really errors but a follow up problem because the first red line says that it can not dismount /system because the device is busy. So every post mount try is doomed to fail as it is still mounted.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] mrbeem:
Interresting.... I never had a red message about dismount /system. Only could not mount /system. So if what you're saying is true, why is it not possible to manually mount /system in mount options of TWRP and why won't any app that flashes to /system in TWRP is not able to do it? Example... Root flashes ok, but twrp app will not install if you tick install as system app :/
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] jimbomodder:
mine flash's anything, I'm on pre-official. it mounts system but doesn't un-mount so if you try to un-mout then u need to reboot recovery
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] J0SH1X:
stock encryption isnt working but idgaf on it because im on lineage so if you want system to mournt format sdata using twrp option and flash magisk to diable force encryption
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] mrbeem:
That is what i did. I flashed the experimental exfat mount TWRP modified by you, i think it was nima's or rashed recovery and you made it 100% functional except decryption but that is not a problem for me, since i can either format /data or flash no-verity 5.1 and boom.... All partitions mountable and /data decrypted. Anyways J0SH.... Thanks for awesome job you've been doing for us G6 owners. Keep it up :)
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] J0SH1X:
yeah as always btw lineage works fine so far i use it as daily driver
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] mrbeem:
I think i will wait for official release of Lineage. I use my mobile for keeping in touch with my contractors on daily basis, therefore i can't have this device partly functional or sent off for repair etc.... It's too early for me to flash Lineage, since I'm not a developer and if i mess something up i will struggle alot to get my G6 going again, unlike you guys who probably know almost all about android/linux :).

Can someone tell me what phone this recovery is for? I see this thread, one for the US997, and also a thread for H870.

Why does this thread exist? Can someone clear this up for me? Which version should I use on my phone (US997)
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Killua96:
This is the official version for H870, then there is an unofficial one an one for Us version.

Anyway it's always written on the file which version it is for.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] PizzaAmerican23:
Thanks. Any reason why someone would use the unofficial over the official? I know only the unofficial is available for my phone, but once the official is available, what's the advantage?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Killua96:
None afaik, anyway the unofficial one's thread was chreated before this one that's why you have more than one thread for the H870

[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] basicreece:
Anyone having backup/restore issues?

Failed to unmount "/system"

After I backup, also fails to restore
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] jimbomodder:
That's normal, also until the " system image" (5.5GB) that's the cause of failed restore, restores fine without that
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Marcolino96:
I tried both the 3 recoveries posted in this thread, the official one, the new decryption and the experimental, also falshing the no verity opt each time, but with each recovery I get problems, the official mounts data but not the system partition, instead the experimental and the new decription mount the system partition but can't mount the data partition becouse of the encryption, even if I have already flashed the no verity opt :/

Can I do anything without making a factory reset?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] _jonte:
So what's the current best way/version of this?

Official, encrypt, experimental.. different procedures...
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Killua96:
Just flash the official and make a format data, then the only problem Will Be the sysyem not mounting error, bug flash Will always work.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] J0SH1X:

[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] saenta:
Updated, but I'm unable to decrypt data with bootup password set.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] mrbeem:
J0SH fixed the /system mount, so try official. If not, flash experimental and FORMAT DATA. NOT WIPE BUT FORMAT! There is a button in TWRP that has Format Data on it. After pressing it you must type "yes" in order to run the formatting. If it throws you an error, tick use -f instead of exFatfs or something like that in twrp settings, then format data again, go back to twro settings again, untick the use -f and format again using normal format mode (as in -f unticked). Formatting should pass with no errors. That is the way to do it when you flash experimental TWRP. READ CAREFULLY, UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'VE READ, DO EVERYTHING STEP BY STEP AND YOU WILL HAVE EVERYTHING WORKING!
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] mrbeem:
Just flashed the latest official TWRP with /system mount unmount fixed and i can confirm. ALL WORKING GREAT.

Try to get it from UK for H870 it from states for US997, pretty much guaranteed to root them, people from certain parts of Europe can't root even thou they have H870, this is due to LG using the IMEI number to authorise unlocks.
