Okay I'm confused because there's different methods of flashing this being given and nobody is clarifying not even OP.

"Follow the steps exactly in this guide https://xdaforums.com/tmo...g-11g-t3775518 afterwards flash the image provided here in recovery"

"Flash the image to recovery, use the steps in the root thread to get it to stick and make sure you're actually booting into recovery and not laf"

"Boot into twrp. Go to install, select install image, and install the one provided in this thread. It will prompt you to install it on a partition. Make sure that only "recovery" is checked. Swipe to flash and reboot recovery. Everything works fine for me"

Which one are we supposed to follow without having any issues? We have H870 on laf so just flashing this H872 recovery won't break anything?
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] RicardoSal24:
I have stated very well what needs to be done. But to clarify. Download the img from this thread. Boot onto twrp on laf, and install img via recovery
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] roger.hernandez91:
Okay see now that's still confusing, excuse my inexperience, but when you say "boot onto TWRP on laf"

I can't just boot into TWRP recovery from my phone to flash it? Are you saying go back through FWUL and use the last steps in the original 11g tutorial to flash this img?
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] RicardoSal24:
No. Power off your phond. Hold the volume up button and connect your phone to your pc. Instead of dowload mode you should boot into recovery
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] roger.hernandez91:
Is there any difference from doing it that way versus just booting into recovery from Magisk? I can get to TWRP without my computer.
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] MetroWestMA:
I can't answer this question, but my guess is TWRP is TWRP no matter how you get into it, but I did it with the traditional method using my laptop.

Once there, you should have copied the file in this thread to a tmp dir on your SD card, so then you just flash that and make sure only recovery is checked. It is very quick and easy.

You are basically flashing a new TWRP while running TWRP -- not an issue because TWRP runs entirely in RAM once it is running and doesn't lock the partition like regular Android or Linux would.
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] roger.hernandez91:
Thank you. So since we already ran the "recovery-from-boot.p" command in the root tutorial, shouldn't have to run that again right? Recovery should stick once I install this new one thru TWRP?
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] MetroWestMA:
I didn't and it worked. I am waiting for the lineage to get more stable and then I am going to switch to that. T-Mobile has some weird stuff hidden in their ROM.

And having switched from an iPhone for the last 7 years (but knowledgeable about Linux / Android), T-Mobile Visual Voice Mail sucks--is there an alternative :)
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] roger.hernandez91:
Great, now TWRP is asking for a decrypt password. Why is this?

Lineage 15.1 is nearly 100% stable for me
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] MetroWestMA:
Ricardo,

You mentioned this which is great and encouraging, I think you also mentioned camera issues you had somewhat worked around. Would you be willing to start another thread on LineageOS 15.1 / h872? I'll take the plunge, but since this is my main phone, I need all the basics:

1) Visual VM even if it's TMobile's crappy app reinstalled.

2) Working camera / video for kids and work

3) Pulse text messages

4) I use Outlook for mail, so I would delete everything else

5) Working tethering (and ideally someway to hide it from TMobile, but with 10GB now, not a big deal)

6) Phone works fine (should get most settings from SIM anyway) while roaming, etc.

7) Music player

8) Access to play store (I think you can manually register your device)

I think that's all I can think of unless there are known popular apps that are not working well under Oreo / Lineage. Since you are the pioneer, it would be great to here more specifics!

Hi Everyone,

I tried to install the xposed framework tonight and ended up with a bootloop and had to restore using TWRP. Note sure if this was because of the xposed FW, or the fact that I wiped Dalvik / Cache which about 1/2 the instructions tell you to do.

Has anyone gotten this installed and working on their rooted 872?

[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] roger.hernandez91:
So just no help on my TWRP now after follow your directions, I get ignored?

---------- Post added at 11:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 PM ----------

Followed your instructions and now TWRP asks for a password for decryption and I don't have a password set on my phone. Help please?
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] MetroWestMA:
actually re-installed the unofficial TWRP tonight just to make sure I had done it right and needed it because I ran into the bootloop issue.

I never was asked for a decrypt password like you mentioned -- was this doing a restore or just running TWRP?

I would help if I had an answer, but I don't even understand your issue...
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] RicardoSal24:
Boot into twrp that is on laf
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] roger.hernandez91:
I had whatever TWRP from doing the 11g root tutorial. I download the TWRP from this thread. I booted into TWRP like you said and just flashed the new img from this thread. Upon reboot into TWRP I get asked for decrypt password. My device boots just fine thank GOD. But recovery is screwed for me now because it cant mount data.

---------- Post added at 12:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 AM ----------

I don't understand what you mean by that. I flashed this H872 TWRP from whatever recovery I had installed from the 11g root tutorial. Per instructions above I just booted into my recovery from Magisk and flashed the one from this thread. I didn't use a computer for anything, not sure if I was supposed to? Is there a different way to access "laf recovery"

Is that different from just booting into recovery directly from Android?

---------- Post added at 12:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 AM ----------

OKAY

I'd like to add a major note here.

LAF TWRP IS SOMEHOW DIFFERENT FROM REGULAR TWRP/RECOVERY that you can boot into from Magisk or wherever.

I plugged my phone into laptop to boot into "download" mode (TWRP/laf) and it didn't ask for password and was able to mount data. So I'm assuming this is where I should install the new recovery from this thread?
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] RicardoSal24:
Correct. I did it this way and had no issue
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Goombs:
OP is acting pathetic. In the root guide, we flashed H870 TWRP to laf partition. OP is asking us to use the H870 TWRP to install this H872 TWRP to recovery partition. So after doing that, we have two TWRP installs, on on recovery, and one on laf. If you boot into recovery, either using an advanced reboot app, or using PWR+VOL_DOWN, it will load the H872 TWRP (the one in this post). If you boot into laf, using vol up and insert cable, it will load the H870 TWRP. The H872 TWRP, the one OP made, has the decrypt issue, and therefore fails to mount system. The H870 has a different system mount issue.

OP is asking us to install his TWRP, then boot into the H870 TWRP, and do our work from there. So then what's the point for installing this at all?

What fixed the system mount issue for me, is flashing the same H870 TWRP from the root guide onto the recovery partition, and booting into that.
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] RicardoSal24:
Flashing h870 onto recovery will not let you flash roms for the h872. To use data on the h872 recovery you have to format in recovery first. I have no issues with mounting the system on my h872

[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] igloo0213:
Any chance of getting this updated to the Oreo kernel? Since flashing immns's Oreo 20a zip, TWRP can no longer decrypt or mount the data partition.
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] MetroWestMA:
I am having the same problem, but note that you can access it again by reformatting it in TWRO, and then you can go back to your previous backup. I think this is a TWRP problem.

Also, if you have X-plore or some other root explorer, you can access root and back it up...but yes something is wrong here...
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] immns:
When formating data, and then intall magisk, Magisk Manager.apk will be installed right after first boot without manually install it. That means twrp is possibly do write on /data before bootloader locks it with dm-verity encryption.
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] DmytroPitenko:

Hi Brian,

Is it released yet ? I bit worried about bricking the device as just bricked my Nokia 8 NB1 when compiling TWRP :( . Please let us know.
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] runningnak3d:
It is as automated as it is going to get for the foreseeable future.

My packet dumps for writing signed partitions match my dumps from LG UP, but for some unknown reason, I still can not write.

So, to get h918 laf you have to use LG UP.

Ubuntu font and Audio enhancements were awesome. I am going to miss them. Ubuntu font was working fine even in my car infotainment system when using Android Auto link. Are you going to release the removed patches as a separate patch?

Will it still be compatible with other non Sony devices such as the ZTE Axon 7 :D?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Miustone:
Great to see You here! So since AROMA is removed and some ROMs and Apps are delivering a Font Changer have i just removed it for now (I still use the Font here with the Carbon ROM on the XZP). The Audio System will be redone a bit to work better with Xperias and less dependencies. Think i will add it back in some Weeks. Same for AROMA. Since it's buggy as Hell (3.0 is a Beta since 2015), and totally fails on the XZ Premium TWRP am i still looking around for a fix. Hopefully am i soon able to add it back, and with it comes another rework of it (Better Structures, Texts etc.).

And Your last Question. Yes, it will still work on the Axon 7 and other Devices. But there is One Thing i already discovered, the new Camera Configs are destroying the Camera Previews on Apps like Open Camera. It shows just some green Fields and may also have Problems on recording. Only way around it would be to remove all Lines containing the word "Camera" in the Snap Prop File. Unfortunately will it not be possible to inject Custom Props while installing since AROMA isn't included anymore, means You need to extract the File out of the ZIP and Copy it back after Editing (Or repacking the ZIP). Wish i could handle that somehow else, but like said, no AROMA no Options :/

Let Me know how it goes and what You think! Will do my best to help out!

EDIT: Default DPI is now 400, may be a bit small on the Axon 7 :P Think i will at least share a working Prop for non Xperia Devices in the next Days. Should be easy to handle that with Updates since i know what's needed to be changed and removed. Hope that Helps a bit...
[Sony Cross-Device General] Mjkb:
Is it possible someone could link a video of this working please? Really interested in this and it may be what stops me from selling my xzp. Would really like to see if the camera is improved as its really not that good compared to others, that's the main reason I'm thinking of selling it. Thanks for all the hard work too

I'm waiting for reviews, bcs I think lossing warranty right now is not my opinion. If anyone can tell a little bit about battery life on custom roms, camera distortion and etc, I would be very thankful.
[Sony Cross-Device General] beammer335d:
I just tried flashing this along with the Carbon (lastest file) all I get is stuck at the Sony screen.
[Sony Cross-Device General] blweldon2:
Works great. Camera quality still isn't up to stock, but it's noticeably better. Can't speak too much for audio, since I use viper anyways, but there's no distortion. Phone is running very smooth and cool. G8142 running carbonrom btw.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Miustone:
Well, i would keep the XZP. The Camera is better as on other Devices (ZTE, Xiaomi, One Plus, Essential, Wiko etc.) after patching AOSP. The only better working Camera i know will You find on HTC, or Samsung, but Samsung is out of the Race since they force Snapdragons to be not unloackable and Exynos without Sources for AOSP. After using a Nexus, a LG and a ZTE Device do i stick for the next Years with SONY again. They publish great Sources and Tutorials and are just delivering great Support for all kind of Android Stuff. That's also why i think that AOSP is better than Stock...

Thanks for the Positive Feedback! Hope You will enjoy it and that we soon get more AOSP Goodness!

Which Warranty? Software Warranty? You will just loose the free Service of unbricking Your Software on the Device after unlocking. 99% of the Hardware Damages will be still covered (Like failing Materials, Buttons, Ports etc.). Software Warranty is really something for People outside of XDA. As long as You have a PC, a unlocked Bootloader and Firmware is there almost no chance of turning Your Device into a Brick... Just saying, i buyed My Device just some Days ago and i haven't waited a single Minute to unlock it (Since SONY has fixed all the old Xperia Device Problems like non working Camera on AOSP, washed out Display Colors and all that). Doesn't regret it! The only real disadvantage could be that it will be hard to sell Your SONY after unlocking. But if You want to keep it forever...

Flashed the OEM Image?

Hard to compare, Camera2 API and RAW alone should be worth the Switch. I also think that there is more possible in the Future once the right Configs are found (Picture Quality). Unlimited 4K recording on higher Bitrates and Framerates besides less heat from the Recording is also good to have (And should look better than on Stock). And great to hear You noticed the Performance. One of the Reasons for loving AOSP on My XZP is the fact that we don't need or have the Stamina Mode. I faced heavy Lags with Stamina besides Graphical Glitches and incredible Heat (Not matter if On or Off). Not to compare with how it is now. I played Shadowgun Legends for around a Hour and the Device was just not Hot. Same Settings on Stock caused crazy Heat and Lags after some Minutes. It's really a difference like Day and Night. Sadly does it looks like that the Carbon ROM has not the best System Animations which kills a bit the UI Smoothness. Would really love to see more AOSP ROM's to have the Choice... Maybe do i start a own One in the next Time, let's see..

BR
[Sony Cross-Device General] nevenx:
man, I agree with you in most thing, but I'm waiting for examples of RAW photos, SOT battery and a lot of things... you should start building your own aosp with those features, I'm ready to donate some cash.
