yeah, it said "ERASING" and back to setup screen...
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
odd I forgot to flash root the first time but I still had twrp hmm.. that's weird I used the buttons to get back in

did you flash anything else
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] nymikey:
nothing else.....:crying:
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
oh no thats not good what os version are you on?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] nymikey:
i'm on 918 10s stock
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
not sure what happened I have flashed it a couple of times and I have had no issues I also forgot root and I booted into twrp and erased and reinstalled very strange
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] runningnak3d:
Well, you are boned. See reply below.... no TWRP, no way to recovery (for now).

You have to remove the restore-recovery-from-boot.p file on the system image or it does just that -- restores stock recovery on boot and wipes out TWRP.

You need to remove the link ASAP in case anyone else doesn't flash an su.

Wouild i be able flash us996 on my h918 using LgUp?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
no I don't think so I am not sure what happened the script has measures in place to prevent this
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Snakecharmed:
Might want to mention somewhere that the link to the KDZ that's still in the OP is not what someone new to this thread wants to flash to retain root.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] racinmason001:
That's a good call. A noob could come download and totally screw the pooch. The .zip should be a dead giveaway but to a noob that is not obvious.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] runningnak3d:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mv", "/system/recovery-from-boot.p", "/system/recovery-from-boot.bak");

The problem is that in a stock system image, there is no busybox:

pwd
/home/swango/Downloads/h918s/images
mkdir mnt
sudo mount -o loop system.img ./mnt
cd mnt
ls -al sbin
ls: cannot access 'sbin': No such file or directory
sudo find . -name busybox | wc -l
0

Tis always safer to mount up system and remove that instead of relying on a script.

At the end of the day though, you did put "flash magisk!" (paraphrased) in your post, and that wasn't done, so it isn't on you.

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] EvoNotEvil:
So I am a new. Freshly rooted stock with twrp installed.I'm on a H91810d. Is this the correct stock update for me ? Is it safe to flash providing I flash super su immediately with Rom ?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ivoh95:
This would be it once the zip is fixed and updated, there is a bug in the installation script. You can probably use the 10r zip if you want to update, or wait until this zip is fixed and reuploaded
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
about to make a linux vm and fix it now
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] bountyman334:
Thanks for the update ..I was in the middle of testing deoxded weta 10r..that I made..I will update with the thread...sorry for the delays...
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
Update:

Just fixed the zip and I am testing it now will update the download link asap.

Sorry for any issues that the first zip has caused. I didn't know about any issues on my end so I felt it was good to go.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
I removed the link I had it up for anyone who wanted it and as a reference for where I got the files
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
link removed
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] erikk:
So there's a link in the first post again. Does that mean it's safe to install as a noob? I know that I have to make sure to flash supersu before rebooting or risk loss of root.

On a noob-related note, is there any advantage to using the mk2000 kernel if you don't really do anything with it? I mean out of the box with no tweaking is there any advantage over the stock?

Another noob question, am I correct in understanding that if I want to switch to Magisk that this would be a good opportunity to do it and all I'd need to do is flash magisk instead of supersu at that step?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ivoh95:
Anyone tested the new updated zip with good results?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
okay, I tested and double checked if the file was removed and it was. I sent it to [MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION] to check and personally, I have flashed and had no issues
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
I have sent the file to [MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION] to check and make sure it's good and I have made sure the file was removed that caused the issue and I personally flashed on my own device and it went through perfectly. The kernel I use and get better performance and battery also it has kcal which you can use to fix screen burn. Magisk imo is much better than su and yes you could flash it with this and I have been using it for a while and been perfect. remember if you want to flash it's on your own risk but I have had no issue on this one or you could wait for [MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION] to double check and I will keep you guys updated
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] runningnak3d:
I will check it as soon as I get to work. Don't want to burn up 2gigs of data on my phone :)
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Mervingio:
I will give a try :good:
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] runningnak3d:
[MENTION=5580523]dudeawsome[/MENTION] Looks good man....

-- Brian
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
Update: [MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION] has looked at the file and seems good to go! ? I have flashed with no problems and still have TWRP & root. DON'T FORGET TO FLASH ROOT!
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
Thanks ?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ivoh95:
Worked perfectly! Thanks for making the zip for us!
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] storm68:
Any differences in comparison to 10r?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ivoh95:
I think its mainly just a security patch. Maybe some small bug fixes. I havent noticed anything
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Mervingio:
This zip install modem and BL too?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
yeah updates everything to the latest and January security update
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] master1454:
Hi. Question - I'm on 10j: can I update to s with no issues?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
Yeah but first you would have to flash the 10r flashable found on XDA and then this just to make sure nothing goes wrong
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Mervingio:
Why something can go wrong is still 7.0?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
No I've read it on another rom post I think it's bc of ABR 1 switch but I believe if you flash it directly it should work. I mentioned that just to be on the safe side.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Mervingio:
Yep I discovered this time ago when flash 10d modem only then reboot bye bye v20 but have warranty yet [emoji41]
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] gustav30:
Hi, are there any prerequisites before flashing this to bring up to date? Do I need to be on 10r first? Right now I'm on 10k I believe which is what the last public Weta was based on. I'm hoping I can flash this and it would update all necessary partitions including modem and bootloader.

Thanks
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
I'd say come to 10r first using the flashable then this just because of the ABR change. I'd updated to 10r first just to be on the safeside
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] erikk:
Just chiming in that I updated from 10r supersu rooted to 10s with Magisk with no problems. Also flashed the ak2000 kernel. No problems and everything seems to working without any issues.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
that's great to hear!
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] gustav30:
Thanks, and should that be the 10r flashable in this thread?

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3681312
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
Yep this 10r will work and for sure reach out if you need any help
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] TheLoonyRebel:
Is there still plans for an debloated ROM?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] gustav30:
Thanks for this. Finally up to date on this 10s build.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
Anytime hope to continue these updates
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
Yep I plan to make a debloated version due to the bug I had to pause and fix that and was busy should be out this week hoping this weekend sometime. Any suggestions on what you want deleted from stock I know the T-Mobiles are going to be gone for sure.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] coolcapnc:
So I somehow ended up wiping my phone and now can't get back into TWRP. All I did was flash this but I must have missed flashing Magisk. I can't seem to access TWRP no matter what I do and adb reboot recovery takes me to a bad page on my phone. I have lost everything, already had my tantrum about that, but now I am just double checking that since I am on S I now have no ability to root, correct?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Gadianton:
I don't know if this will help but I have found the trick to getting into TWRP is totally power off.

Then while holding the down volume button, push the power button. As soon as the LG logo pops up briefly release the power and then hold it again until the screen with the factory reset pops up. Select yes both times and then you are in.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] coolcapnc:
Thanks, but that is what ended up clearing my device, wiping my internal sd.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Gadianton:
Bummer... sorry to hear.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
did you flash the new zip? because I took the old down and fixed it. The new version should work many people flashed it with success. sorry to hear you lost twrp and root but I have made sure the rom would not wipe twrp and deleted the boot-recovery.p file and had the zip double checked. I have explicitly mentioned flashing root before you reboot. once again sorry about losing root :(
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] coolcapnc:
not blaming you in the least, my friend, keep up the good work, this was definitely something I did, just trying to find out if anyone has a way to help me, sorry if it came off accusatory
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
It's all good bro, sorry for what has happened and root is in the works but its taking time but till then sorry there's no root method at the moment.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] TheLoonyRebel:
Pretty much mirror what Alpha ROM and the likes have debloated out. And thanks for keeping ROM development going for the V20 H918! :highfive:
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] nymikey:
Don't feel bad, same thing happened to me last week. I knew i was supposed to flash root before rebooting and for some reason i brain farted and didn't do it. And the funny thing is that it was basically the same process i went through a few months back when i updated to 10r. Hey, stuff happens for lack of a better word.....
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] coolcapnc:
So have you just been living without root or were you able to get into recovery? I am tempted to switch phones just cause I need root to restore everything I lost.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] nymikey:
I'm "barely" living without root, I saw a Lg V20 H990 for sale in a pawn shop but not sure if it'll work with TMO if I have it unlocked....
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
[MENTION=2522022]nymikey[/MENTION] [MENTION=3116603]coolcapnc[/MENTION] I feel so bad for you guys if only I could somehow help you guys get root :( [MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION] is working hard to hopefully soon get root to the devices.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] nymikey:
No reason to feel bad, it wasn't your fault at all. It was a dumb mistake on my part. It happens....
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
Yeah I know, I feel bad because I don't know how you live without root.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Still_living714:
This sucks, I would for sure trade in my V20 if I didn't have root. I can't go without root for more than a few days lol
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
[MENTION=2522022]nymikey[/MENTION] [MENTION=3116603]coolcapnc[/MENTION] so apparently the v20 devices got 30 months of warranty bc LG got sued so try to call LG and request a trade saying you have a problem with it like the screen or something and they might replace and may come with an older firmware
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Snakecharmed:
I tell myself that had I received a V20 that was already on ARB 1 firmware, I would be able to live without root for at least a little while, much like I did with the G4 for the first month or so after it was released. If anything, it would probably be a bit better these days versus 2015 because now you no longer need root access for its most common and obvious benefit, which is ad removal.

However, not being able to have complete root access in the file system would be a letdown, as would not being able to fully customize UI elements. I liked having custom battery icons and a centered clock with day and date in the notification bar on my G4, although those aren't really essential. I still have some things to flash on my H918, but they aren't that big of a deal, whereas I needed root on the G4 in order to take measures to stop it from acting stupid.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Tourney3p0:
I seem to remember that using a non-stock kernel caused some problems like wifi calling would make it lose network access until after a reboot. I may be completely misremembering, but is that a problem with the mk kernel?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
Nope no issues I have been on it for a while works flawless

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Still_living714:
Thanks! Just wondering if anything else was done to it? Any tweaks?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
nothing atm but I am looking at making a rom but it'll take some time.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Snakecharmed:
Do you have a list of what you removed in the debloated version?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
It's all the T-mobile apps and some LG app that can be redownloaded from the LG app center plus the stock themes that come with the phone. I have also removed the LG Home but kept the LG Home with app drawer

I can report the full list in a bit
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] TheLoonyRebel:
Great job on the debloated ROM. The only thing I am missing from Alpha ROM is WETA ROM stuff namely the ability to push the status bar info into the second screen. Otherwise working like a charm.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
I believe you can download the weta mods from alpha rom site
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Still_living714:
How do you do this?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
It is part of the weta rom mods. Alpha rom has the mods flashable on their site and you could download it and flash. I haven't tested it myself though.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] TheLoonyRebel:
Thank you. It took a little work but I finally got the status bar in the second screen. This includes flashing the Misc Mods to add Mod Control so I could get the Immersive Status Bar working on the second screen. Sadly this means no WETA MODS app itself as Misc Mods is missing a few things (ie: data meter, center clock on the secondary screen, stock Google boot animation instead of the T-Mobile one).
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
Have you tried the weta installer on the alpha-rom.cf site also I may loook into it and add weta mods
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] TheLoonyRebel:
Yep that's where I grabbed the WETA stuff is from the Alpha ROM site. Sorry should of clarified that in my previous post. I do wonder perhaps if any updates need to be done for WETA Mods to work properly with 10S?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
Might need to I'll check it out
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] pre4speed:
What about going from 10p to this 10s? I downloaded 10r, just never really have the time to commit to backup, wipe, flash, restore, setup etc etc. I really need to get off my bum and do it. I go from part time to full time in about 6 weeks, and I REALLY won't have the time. Rant over lol
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
Lol all good since it's already abr1 it should be as easy as dirty flash and then root flash. If you want to be in the safe side dirty flash 10r then this then root. One thing to remember don't forget to FLASH ROOT!?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] coolcapnc:
Bought a used h918 off of ebay, got it with 10j and just rooted, then wiped it via the newly installed TWRP, flashed this 10s, Magisk, and booted without issue. I am back and it feels good. Now for the Titanium Backup restores (luckily did a backup before attempting this the first time).
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
that sounds good! apparently, the Verizon v20 got the February security update so expect a update soon as I get my hands on a kdz I will update the forum with a new flashable.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] pre4speed:
Just looked at other mods I have currently. I have 3minit clock and battery, but the zip I have says 3minit 10p. Will it still work on 10s? Kinda one of the main reasons I root lol
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
Hmm... I think it should because nothing changed from 10p to 10s just security patches
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] DAXX:
Thanks!
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] DAXX:
So I lost TWRP. How do I put it back?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
how did you lose twrp did you flash root if you didn't you probably just lost root.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] DAXX:
I installed the stock version instead of the debloated and forgot to put root. How to I put root on version 10s?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
Oh man I made sure nothing like this would happen also got someone to double check all the files and did mention to flash root. Sorry to say but you lost root until a root method for 10s is found.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
sorry bro currently there is no root for 10s you can try kingroot it might be able to root
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
Will do pm me
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
Update:

So many of you guys are forgetting to flash root and losing root. Thanks to [MENTION=5389288]i95swervin[/MENTION] and his suggestion to patch the boot with magisk. So v2 will be out with magisk patched boot so you don't lose TWRP & root. I should have patched it earlier but never crossed my mind. Hopefully, people will flash root/won't lose root anymore.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Mervingio:
I not use Magisk I prefer SuperSu.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
Yeah it should be okay flash SU after you flash this zip I have patched it just in case anyone forgets so it's rooted already. In short flash V2 then flash SU and you should be good.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] pre4speed:
Here I am with another question. Is this anti-rollback? I have been unable to do backups with TWRP since NATF ROM days for some reason. Just tried again, failed but won't give me a reason. If this debloated 10s for any reason (I take all the risk) doesn't work, won't work, crashes etc, can I go back to 10p?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Still_living714:
In my case when I try to do a backup in twrp on my SD card it will fail every time. I have to do it on internal storage. Maybe try different storage?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
You should be if 10p is ARB 1 because this becomes ARB 1 and I read you can switch between ARB 1 versions but personally have not tried it.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] pre4speed:
Didn't think of that, however, I'm wanting to do a fresh clean install. Phone is starting to slow down again.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
You have to do a clean flash if you change roms. Also if you come to ABR 1 then you can't go back to a rom with anything lower so I believe it has to be 10p-s based.
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] pre4speed:
Anytime I flash something ROMwise, I do a clean install. Lol. Even if it's just an update. I'm strange like that lol
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
Your not alone I do the same lol
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Gadianton:
Is there a way to get the stock kernel from this rom?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
you want the magisk patched boot.img
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Gadianton:
So do I extract that out of the h91810s-v2.zip?

Edit I see a boot.bin. Can I rename that to boot.img?
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dudeawsome:
yep that would work or just reflash rom but remember to flash root
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Gadianton:
Looks like that boot img has beta 12 kernel. Not stock.
