[LG G7 ThinQ  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] LameMonster82:
TWRP 3.3.1-0+ for the LG G7 ThinQ​

Warning:

This TWRP Recovery is only useful for

installing custom ROMs

.

Currently there's no way to use this recovery on stock in any meaningful way without future addons ;)

(Data partition cannot be read because of LG default encryption)

You cannot install or backup anything while you have LG Encryption enabled. A future addon can disable it.

<-- Requirements​

An Bootloader unlocked LG G7 ThinQ by any means. (official or unofficial) (G710TM Models are impossible to be supported, sorry)

More information on officially unlocking the LG G7 here: https://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev

Running minimum LG Stock Android 9 Pie (AOSP GSI does not count)

A PC and ADB + Fastboot

The temper to read twice

<-- Needed files​

You only need this boot image:

For developers who want to build their own TWRP Boot image here's the device-tree for it

<-- Installation​

Note: This TWRP is only temporarily (it does not overwrite the bootimage). When you reboot it will dissapear and you will need to redo the fastboot command.

You're done. Now you can use TWRP to install custom ROMs

[QUOTE][SIZE="3"][B]Step 1: Enter Fastboot mode[/B][/SIZE]
[LIST]
[*]Connect your phone to your PC with a USB Cable
[*]Restart the phone
[*]While the phone is restarting hold Volume down button.
[B]Note[/B]: Make sure you hold Volume down button before you see the [U][B]black and white[/B][/U] "LG G7 ThinQ" text
If you see the red LG Logo you either messed up or you don't have access to fastboot mode witch is another problem i can't solve easily.
[*]If done correctly you should be in Fastboot now :)

[SIZE="3"][B]Step 2: Install the boot image[/B][/SIZE]
[LIST]
[*]Open the command prompt or your terminal (depending on what PC Platform you are)
[*]Type:
[/LIST]
[CODE]fastboot flash boot_a [B][TWRP Boot image location] --set-active=a[/B]

The best way you can set the TWRP Boot image location is to manually "drag and drop" the file itself in your command prompt

Also make sure you "drag and drop" the TWRP Boot image before you type

--set=active=a

Don't forget

--set-active=a

has 2 little lines at the beginning. No space between them.

Step 3: Enter Recovery mode

Restart the phone (using power button if you're still in fastboot)

Before the phone turns off hold Volume down and power button

The moment you see the

black and white

"LG G7 ThinQ" Text start clicking the

power button

as much as you can

without

letting the Volume down button.

If done correctly you should see a white screen with "Factory reset" text on top.

If you done step 2 correctly clicking yes on both prompts on the phone will get you to TWRP

For people who still have trouble getting into recovery mode here's a visual example of how to enter recovery mode (youtube) https://youtu.be/_0yoFEvIods

Note: You don't have to be in system. Rebooting from bootloader will still work
