It's getting me a time of -1 second to do a backup last time it did 0 seconds to do a whole backup

Oh yeah.. slipped my mind. Will do some tests tomorrow/Saturday and look into it.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] TheGodlessOne:
I am experiencing some issues that I'm beginning to attribute to the latest TWRP 3.2.3-0-h910. I had been using Alpha ROM 1.6 and decided to upgrade to its latest version 3.0 (or 4.0). To do so I upgraded TWRP from the original 3.0.2-1-us996 (which worked flawlessly) to the current version. Before doing anything I made a full backup in the new TWRP. After installing Alpha and making a TWRP backup when the basics were set up, I wanted to revert back to 1.6 to try to grab some apps and settings. But when I restored it it wouldn't accept my knock code, and fingerprint doesn't work after boot-up. So I figured I'd do without what I tried to get, and restored the new install, but it bootloops and doesn't go past the LG screen. I know it was working before I made a backup, because I had rebooted a couple times. The one thing I can think of in common with these backups and restorations is the latest TWRP. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

Edit: Nevermind, I believe my SD card is corrupt.

Lockscreen password never work when restoring any backup, have to remove /data/system/locksettings.db to remove the lockscreen password

Thank you Phoenix, I'll tuck this away for the future. Good to know. In all my Google searches I never found this...
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Ferg8080:
New to flashing on LG and planning to install Alpha ROM but realise I need to install TWRP but I'm a little unclear how to do this. I've got a VS995. Looked at the OP and couldn't see any instructions on first time install or requirements. Managed to get into the stock recovery mode as follows...

Power down.

Press and hold volume down button.

Press and hold power button, while continuing to hold the volume down button.

From here I thought I might see an option to flash TWRP which I've got on the sdcard. But having got into recovery I don't see any option to do this?!? (pls see attached)
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] cnjax:
You need to unlock the bootloader in order to flash twrp, depending on your software version /security patch level, you may need to downgrade that way you can use dirty santa to unlock, flash twrp and then root
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Phoenix591:
Yeah, LG and Verizon don't officially allow it, you'll have to rollback to an old version and use the dirty Santa exploit, then install a rom (alpha and super are the current stock based roms) to get back to a recent update. See the Verizon thread for details
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Ferg8080:
OMG what a headache :rolleyes:

I'm on VS99513A so do I need to downgrade to 12a? Bit confusing as in in Laserwolf's thread he talks about having to downgrade from 13A to 12A but then also there is a video on the downgrade from 15A to 13A. So which is it? Is 13A okay or do I need 12A, very confusing.

Additionally where if I need to do I get the 12A kdz for the VS995?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Phoenix591:
13A is fine, you can get it from the link in the Verizon thread, or this other site
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Ferg8080:
I don't understand if it's already installed why do I need download it?

Anyway I've gone ahead and tried to unlock my bootloader and install root following the procedure in the links below. I think I managed to get as far as step 5 (in the first link) where it didn't seem to fully boot and was stuck at the Verizon splash screen for about 30 mins. From here on in every time I boot I'm getting a fuzzy screen and the phone vibrates but using a workaround i.e. waiting for the screen to time out and pressing the power button I can use the phone as normal. Also can't seem to boot into twrp anymore. Maybe it was a mistake trying to follow two guides which did differ in the steps but tbh I found the highonandroid easier to follow. I've also check if I have root and it appears not so.

Step 7, adb reboot recovery just causes the phone to reboot I'm pretty sure into twrp but can 't be 100% as I get a fuzzy screen and continous vibration. So I can't complete step 8. Not sure what to do now, should I try and start the whole process again?

Actually I nearly forgot someone mentioned laserwolf's video on youtube here and his XDA thread here. I'm wondering if this is worth a shot if I haven't messed things up enought!!
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Phoenix591:
Your links doesn't work, they have ... Instead of parts if the url. Regardless, since you have the screen issue that means you're at a certain point where you have the engineering bootloader and fastboot will work. Grab my TWRP from my top post, and mk2000 beta/bttf from their thread and magisk/supersu. Do adb reboot bootloader, then

fastboot flash recovery C:\path/to/my/twrp

, then disconnect from PC and pull battery, reinsert the battery then enter TWRP by holding volume down, pressing power until the screen turns on, and then tapping power repeatedly until it asks to factory reset (still holding volume down), say yes twice. If TWRP asks for a password use your lockscreen password. Then flash mk2000, and magisk/supersu. That gets you rooted stock version 13a, from there you can install any ROM you want (Alpha and superv20 are the currently maintained stock roms).
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Ferg8080:
Hi Phoenix,

did the first bit below fine with no errors on the terminal but twrp isn't coming up. I'm getting the LG factory reset screen instead! Not sure what's happened to it?!

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery C:\path/to/my/twrp
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Phoenix591:
If you mean the built in screen asking if you want to reset, say yes twice. The phone will then boot recovery and tell it to reset, which TWRP has been set to ignore. If you boot normally between flashing TWRP and actually entering twrp and flashing something for the first time, TWRP gets replaced with stock recovery which will happily reset the phone..
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Ferg8080:
Thank you phoenix for your help, this time it worked. BTW Is it normal for the phone to vibrate continously when booting up from cold (only stops when I hit the home button), doesn't seem to happen when just restarting. Also on each boot I get the triangle with the your device is corrupt, it cannot be trusted and will not boot. Again thank you :D

I flashed VS995_reStock_v1.4 and supersu

VOILA! ROOTED! and can boot into TWRP!

I did a nandroid backup to the sdcard and now on to the next step of flashing the Alpha rom :)
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Phoenix591:
Vibration is a wierd vs995 quirk... not super familiar with it, but normalish for the model. The device not trusted and won't boot is normal for every device that used dirty Santa since it doesn't truely unlock the bootloader, it's just that the engineering bootloader doesn't care, the h918 and factory unlocked us996 get a slightly different yellow this device cannot be checked.

Hey Phoenix, just wondering if you will be releasing a version for the Oreo roms that are patched with the eng aboot and magisk injected boot IMG?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Phoenix591:
When I have time... Can't do a whole lot since I've an H918 ATM. Am working on and off of an 8.1 based TWRP build since I can't directly test stock Oreo that uses disk quota and other things that screwed up mounting.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] cnjax:
Gotcha no worries was just curious. FYI h918 oreo just released
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Buzzy42:
Just tried to flash the 9-30 version on my VS995 using the stock, rooted Oreo ROM. I used Flashify to flash it into recovery (since I haven't had a working TWRP to flash with), but when I try to go into recovery, it shows the TWRP title screen, it goes black, then reboots into normal Oreo. (this is pretty much what happened before with 3.2.3 before the 9-30 update, and the filename I got definitely had 9-30 in it)

I should add I'm using the mk2000 beta kernel for Oreo as well.

Did I miss something minor somewhere?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] bxlegend:
Just an FYI, decryption is broken on Oreo h918.

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] eigen:
What does root have to do with entering recovery?

Anyone have a solution? I really don't want to root this from scratch. Can I enter fastboot and flash recovery from there? This is on 918 oreo.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Vernox701:
Sure you can

Follow step 5 in the Alpha -Omega Oreo thread
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] eigen:
Ok, thanks will try!

Hey, I got into recovery by going into factory reset. The phone will likely reboot multiple times to TWRP and then reboot again like before. It should eventually boot into TWRP and go to the password screen to decrypt (or you may not have to format data on your variant). You should flash TWRP image after all major ROM installs (at least the stock roms) and reboot to recovery to make sure you can before booting to system. Getting into TWRP is a relief, I'll figure out the rest.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Phoenix591:
I'll look into decryption and things in general with stock Oreo Monday and/or Friday. A bit under the weather and no idea what other shinanigans LG pulled besides the disk quota thing.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Buzzy42:
I did the fastboot flash of recovery and still am getting the immediate reboot. I guess I'll wait until I really need TWRP and do the data reset.. ugh.

do I need to install the "official TWRP app"? i just updated from 3.2.3-0 to 3.2.3-1 and immediately got a message that I needed to install the app. I'd never done it before. I thought that this (v20 unofficial) was unofficial so the app wouldn't help me anyways. Please let me know.

Fwiw clicking factory reset in the OS with TWRP installed doesn't actually factory reset your phone, or at least it didn't for me. Just lets you actually get into TWRP after many reboots.

I'm not 100% sure version 3.2.3.1 is wiping cache and dalvik correctly. VS995 version installed on my VS995 running alpha oreo VS995 rom.

Why don't you install the latest twrp using the twrp you already have.

Goto install in twrp and go the folder where you have the latest twrp. Select install image. Select twrp and choose to flash in recovery.

Weird problem... I have a tmo h918

I updated to the latest twrp (recovery-twrp-h918-2018-09-30.img) to flash the latest oreo update using a flashable zip.

The update for both twrp and oreo went fine. I did a clean install.

I also flashed magisk and mk kernel.

Now after 2 days, I cannot boot into recovery anymore. No, twrp didn't suddenly get replaced by stock recovery.

While rebooting to recovery, the twrp screen is shown for a brief period, them it reboots to system.

I tried re-flashing twrp using flashify, no change.

Anybody has an idea about what might be the problem? Also, what else I can try? I don't want to re-flash the whole system again. :(
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] cnjax:
TWRP needs to be updated for oreo, Phoenix is going to work on it, the old builds being used to flash the Oreo roms have issues such as your problem, that's why I have contently stayed on nougat until all the bugs are worked out

hi

My phone is a h918, I have it rooted with this method (https://xdaforums.com/v20/development/rom-h91820f-oreo-root-t3848854)

I am using as rom the stock oreo installed through TWRP.

The problem is that when I try to enter TWRP, the phone shows the TWRP bootsplash and restarts.

Can this be because I encrypted /data?

I am using both the latest version of TWRP and the latest version of oreo for my device.

EDIT: Excuse me, it seems to be a frequent problem. I hope you solve it later.

Thank you very much for your work.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Phoenix591:
Its fixed now, however decryption still isn't working yet on stock Oreo. (So need to put things to flash on an unencrypted sdcard or use flashify to copy them to /cache)

For anyone wanting to install it on their H990 models - I just installed on H990DS with no problems.

Still has the problem of an unknown encryption password to access storage but at least this version appears to at least try the password instead of just failing instantly like the 3.1.1 version I had installed previously.

I wonder if this version fixes the issues that I had with 3.1.1 that wouldn't install Lineage OS properly and would just bootloop, but also it could be that I installed the H915 ROM onto my H910 and may be something changed on the boot loader and that is why it crapped out.

Micro sdxc card issues on nougat 7.0 on h990ds

Hi,

I am running nougat 7.0 on lg v20 h990ds (super rom 4.1) and twrp 3.2.3-0. I started a nandroid backup on external 64GB sdxc card of about 28GB. The backup did not complete although I had not touched anything. Since then, I am having issues with the sd card while I have been using it for a year without a problem. The sd card is detected by the file explorer but I can't store data from the phone camera and sometimes (!) I don't see the content of the sd card. I see the content of the sdcard on my pc and I could back it up but I can't format the sd card on my phone nor my pc. I used different ways to format it (disk manager of win 7, diskpart, SD Card Formatter tool, ...). If I do a quick format, the tool states it worked fine but I can still see the data ! If I do a overwrite format in SD Card Formater, the process hangs at 26% forever. I am positive the sd card was not physically damaged. Does anyone have a clue as to what could be wrong and how I could fix it if I can ?

Regards,

JF
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Freediver:
Your SD card is showing signs of impending failure and should be replaced as soon as possible. I've had similar issues and it got to the point where a backup would slow to a crawl and some files would refuse to transfer. I've tried to format, but the card refused and finally bit the bullet. Consider getting a new card as the prices have dropped considerably. Good luck.

Hello Sirs, i have a question, I installed the latest twrp recovery with the twrp app, but still it says the version number that was installed prior, 3.2.1-1, should i ignore it and go on installing oreo firmware or wait a bit, I have the T-mobile variant of it (h918).
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Phoenix591:
then you havnt installed the latest version. The twrp app can't check for updates because its not official yet. Download the latest version from the OP.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] oldgamer31:
I did, i got the link in the op "recovery-twrp-h918-2018-10-06.img" and installed it with the app, but when I went to recovery, it still says version 3.2.1-1 rather than 3.2.3-2...
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Phoenix591:
Ok, you made me doubt a little bit, so I double checked and I can assure you that recovery-twrp-h918-2018-10-06.img shows as 3.2.3-2. Reinstall it with the twrp app or flashing or twrp itself (install-image-recovery-twrp-h918-2018-10-06.img-recovery)

Aside from flashing a recovery zip file, I don't know any other way to do it but I did this through ADB once, but don't know how now because it was a long time. I don't think there was an option under twrp to flash an img file from recovery itself... Wait.... I got it, I didn't told the app itself to reboot to recovery!!! I updated.. now on to oreo.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] SJMarty:
Since updating to 3.2.3-1, my backups don't show a valid time it takes to complete the backup. For example, "Backup Completed in -2 Seconds" or "...0 Seconds." Same behavior after updating to 3.2.3-2.

Any ideas what's going on?
