After Update you must boot patched_boot.img via Fastboot.

Does not seem yet...

But you can extract fastboot images from payload.bin inside this Package (see OP).

You need Payload Dumper

Copy .img-Files in ADB-Folder and use follow flash script:

fastboot flash devcfg devcfg.img

Some apps don't be available to download from playstore because bootloader unlocked, like Netflix.

Flash MiA2 Lite OTA

You need to have the latest version of fastboot installed or it will fail to flash system.img. This is might be why some of you are bootlooping, not noticing that system.img is failing to flash.

Here is a zip that contains everything you need.

- Extract it in the same folder as all your *.img files. (Download OTA extracted from here if you haven't extracted it yourself).

- Remove SIM Card & SD

- Put your phone in fastboot

- Run MiA2_OTA_Flash.bat ("The target reported max download size of 534773760 bytes, Invalid sparse file format at header magic" error is normal, just wait).

- Wait for the phone to boot. It can take 5min.

It doesn't wipe userdata.

Edit :

And if you want to root it with Magisk after flashing :

- Copy boot.img to your phone

- Run Magisk - Install - Select the boot.img

- Copy the patch_boot.img from your Download folder of your phone in the same folder as fastboot

- Reboot your phone to fastboot

- Run fastboot boot patched_boot.img

- Run Magisk - Install - Direct Install

- Reboot

Rooted !
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] j1505243:
I could even link it in OP, but why to remove SIM and SD? You won't ruin them via fastboot.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] kidoucorp:
This is optional. Actually, 1st time I flashed it wasn't booting (because system.img was not flashed because of my bad version of fastboot). I flashed system.img as the latest, but it didn't boot. (Boot loop).

I removed sim card and SD, reflashed everything in the correct order and it booted.

So I've put this step as precaution. Also because I remember you had to do this on 1st boot after flashing GSI some months ago so I thought it would apply as well.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] j1505243:
It shouldn't ever apply to stock ROMs, unless Xiaomi failed miserably.

You can't escape going thru all this complicated stuff you don't even know about, as long as you want to flash from OTA image and not from the public fastboot images which are rarely updated by Xiaomi.

From reading some other forums, seems xiaomi didn't really send out a beta or use testers.. more or less they sent out an early release update to certain folks first, then pushed the update to certain areas. Sounds like pie -same build- is rolling out to different regions now. There have been comments that there was no feedback involved with those originally accepted to be 'beta testers'...

[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] TigerCourage:
Guys, the Z3 Force is coming tomorrow :victory: and will be available for purchase sometime in September. It will probably feature a curved ShatterShield screen, face unlock, 3 cameras on the back like the attached render (all leaked renders were true), Snapdragon 845 processor, 6/64GB and maybe 8/128 storage, no front facing LED flash for some reason. Moto will also show a 5G Moto Mod with a built in power pack (hopefully).

Who is buying it? I'm getting one for sure.

I found a couple of hint links but none of them show any pictures:

Wtf. That is really stupid. We are stuck with the european Z² Force as a flagship then (it has 6GB of RAM). It runs really well but everyone was expecting more from them this year...

So it's just a US Z2 Force with the same processor and camera in a Z3 Play body.

That is really stupid.

Thing is, they said in a interview that the 5G moto mod is not the last one and they will continue with the mods. WTF.

Maybe the community manager from Twitter mistaken and there will be another one this year?

I mean seriously, they are making such a big thing in their presentation that 50% of the Moto Z owners have a mod too, so how can such a big company miss the opportunity to make loads of $$$$$$ because everyone using the first gen skipped the second gen to buy the third gen Moto Z (and they made it Verizon exclusive and not available outside US) + the ones using the second gen wanting the latest and greatest with better specs so they can keep using the mods they invested in for 2 more years. Z3 Force would have been a TOP seller.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Uzephi:
Hey, since it releases with 8.1, that means it has a vendor partition. This means we can use those blobs to easily port over treble since hardware is near identical. Our treble beta builds in discord have a few quirks but those blobs would make it have near zero issues besides audio hal for motomods due to the way it routes to the ROM.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] TigerCourage:
Yeah, maybe even port the entire Android 10 ROM when Moto stops supporting the Z2 Force and the other one recieves the update.

So no flagship this year my friends. The global Z2 Force is the more powerful device still with 6GB ram. Now we only need a fully working Google Camera and that would be awesome. Anyone willing to donate some $ to a developer so they can make a proper port? I'm willing to do so.

I just see a lot of bad hype online from people who probably don't even have/use mods or are not invested in Moto mods.

H87220a Flashable ROM for the T-Mobile LG G6

This ROM based on H87220xxxx.kdz then extracted and repacked with autoprime's zip based on this thread.

Also, thanks for runningnak3d for TWRP install method. This ROM is ARB01 which is safe if you want revert to 11g.

Installation :

Modullar Installation

You should install at least bootloader, modem, and system in order to boot properly.

Install xxxOreo.zip using TWRP don't reboot

Press back button and Install Magisk (It's mandatory if you want root and twrp retained)

DONE and Reboot

[*]In most case, you'll lost your /data due to data encryption. so backup first

[*]This build's ONLY for T-Mobile US LG G6

[*]If you decided to downgrade, make it sure that firmware is ARB01 (11g or later)

Download :

As requested by many people I've uploaded new update within 4 modules (Bootloader, Laf, Modem, and System).

You can download here: H87220g (latest)

LGH87220F

LGH87220D

LGH87220A

Recommended TWRP/Orangefox Recovery

my G6 seems broken, it has no display but it still ringing when I call it. probably LCD issue. Basically, I can't test any future update with this phone. I've planned to buy v30 soon and try to repair my g6 by myself. Any info or some suggestions will be appreciated

Have a nice day,
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] MetroWestMA:
OK -- So I am going to install that later today...but just to be clear (and hopefully this helps others)...if you have been flashing other ROM, you should have...

1) H870 TWRP in laf, accessible for emergencies via holding up button and plugging phone into computer.

2) H872 Unofficial TWRP in recovery...

So, to flash this, using H872 recovery/TWRP:

1) TWRP backup whatever you want to keep.

2) Wipe all normal stuff

3) Flash this and magisk, assuming you want to root anyway.

4) Using TWRP File manager, delete /system/recovery_rom_boot.p so that if something goes wrong, you don't have to reflash H872 TWRP into recovery using laf.

Boot, and you should have the stock 8.x rooted?

In my case, I also a going to try and install stock GApps to replace LG/TMobile stuff...I'll post about my success on that later...

Which is the correct way to do it in my opinion. Once you TWRP installed in Recovery, having it stay on LAF is dangerous as far I'm concerned. In theory TWRP should be able to keep you from needing to ever restore back to stock, but it has been known to fail sometimes. Leaving with no way of using LG UP or any other flasher outside of sending it into LG (unless firehose files get leaked).
