And HERE it Is!!!! I'm too tired to make a long thread.. I need to sleep hahah I'll make a proper thread tomorrow if he doesn't..
quickist way... be bootloader unlocked and then boot the image in the image folder of the zip
Unzip the zip to your computer.
fastboot boot CF-Auto-Root-victara-victaratmo-xt1095.img
Make sure it's fastboot boot.. not fastboot flash.
It will reboot, reboot again and then you're good
Now go buy chainfire a beer

This is not a flashable zip

What state does the phone have to be in to fastboot? I get waiting for device in normal phone OS and in recovery.
I can adb reboot to recovery, so I know everything is set up PC wise.
From bootloader I get "cannot load _______.img : no error"

Got it I think. Your command in the OP has it ending in .img not .zip
EDIT....still getting binary not installed. I've got to go to work, but idk why this is the first phone I've ever struggled with so many things. Could be because we still don't have ANY working official images.

Got it. Had to unzip the file and flash the image like you said.... I read wrong my bad.
Thanks

Is the boot.img for Lollipop based on the .5 or .6 release?

It's boot img agnostic.. meaning you boot this boot.img, it actually takes the current boot.img on the device and injects root into it. So it uses whatever boot.img is currently on the device. So if you are on the .5 kernel it should work, if you're on the .6 kernel it works

Awesome, and I will make sure I give Chainfire some money, I will probably just pickup SU Pro
Didn't want to run into boot loop because it was meant for a particular kernel

Is it just for xt1095 or will also work with 1092?

It was made for the 1095. You can give it a try and let us know. If it fails it doesn't screw up anything (I don't think, since in testing it failed for me many times before he got the bugs worked out) Theoretically it should work as I said it's boot.img

Can confirm on XT1097. Man this is amazing!
Anyone has flashed twrp?
Anyway thank you all!

Thanks.

Is there a step-by-step for this? I never rooted any of my Note series phones, so it's been a while.

1. unlock bootloader from moto site (follow instructions there) ALL OF YOUR DATA WILL BE WIPED - BACKUP EVERYTHING FROM INTERNAL STORAGE
2. ensure that you have fastboot / mfastboot / android SDK installed and setup (including PATH)
3. enable usb debugging on your phone
4. ensure that you have the appropriate drivers for your device installed
5. reboot to bootloader
6. check to make sure you have the correct drivers installed
7. type fastboot boot CF-Auto-Root-victara-victaratmo-xt1095.img
8. phone will reboot.
All of this is in the OP. good luck
Disclaimer
you alone are responsible for the health of your device, if you are at any point worried about causing damage, do not proceed. I will not buy you a new phone if you break yours.

How to restore IMEI number on a official rom?

okay now I am starting to get lost and the guide for ''fixing your IMEI number'' caused my phone to soft-brick once again so it didn't really help
and yes I used the most recent SuperSU (stable) version V2.78 (I hope that is a correct version)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/steps-how-to-recover-bad-imei-t3171452
my baseband gives a I think correct version but my IMEI number still is ''0''
Please!, can anyone tell me how to restore my IMEI number?

Also my phone uses tries to use LTE connection like I have U.S. drivers (I don't know if it makes a difference since I am pretty much noob)
I find that just wierd.. sorry to bother you guys with all this, I just want my phone to be fixed

As far as I remember that happened to me when I tried to relock the bootloader at that moment. Did it work anyway? I mean, did it reboot? Which image did you choose? 5.1 or 6.x? Probably start with 5.1 as this was the original image for the device and later let it update via OTA. Be sure still to grab the appropriate image.

According to the Motorola official developer forums I am not ALLOWED to install a android 5.X image when I last ran a 6.X android system. as the result could be that I could Hard brick my device
also some further info:
I think in the past when I tried to install the official stock rom. I accidentally removed/erased the EFS file. or some file that holds my IMEI information.
and now I practically have to re-write it (since.. well you can't just create a IMEI ID or Can I?). but it seems impossible if I look at it.
but I do have the original box with the original IMEI number.

Idk about su2.78... I have always used su2.62-3 ..it worked on lollipop and it works on MM.
What is the need of updating SU app, all it does is give 'root' permissions.

okay, because you have more experience rooting I am gonna ask you just to be sure.
correct me if i'm wrong:
first I have to flash twrp thingy
next I have to reboot android and copy SuperSU into my storage
then I have to reboot in fastboot and boot into twrp
in twrp I have to flash/install SuperSU into the system.
and.. that's it. so superSU practically roots my device?
oh and from what i've heard/seen I will not be able to update anymore? because when I installed/flash superSU I saw in the log:
''disabling OTA update survival'' or something like that

You need to flash the kdz file using LGUP and then you will be able to take OTA update. Then you can install TWRP and root.n And you don't need to lock the bootloader to go through this process.

Is Nougat easily to root? I'm rooted on mm now but nervous about making the update. Is xposed working?

If twrp is working then try and flash supersu, no harm in trying anything if you got a backup, right? (read somewhere that root and xposed were working tho)

shakeyabooti said:
ARE YOU HAVING TROUBLE WITH LGUP NOT SEEING YOUR MOBILE?
Try this....... take the back off your mobile so you can get at the battery. Connect your mobile via USB. Start LGUP, if it does not see your phone DO NOT DISCONECT, DO NOT RESTART OR TURN OFF LGUP. Take out the battery and then put it back in.......let the phone restart on its own. LGUP should now see it.

You need to first install 20A. Then root it and install TWRP using the recowvery exploit. Look that up and search.
Once TWRP is installed, you can flash this as the instructions above.

The TWRP bootloop is an odd thing that pops up sometimes. Not sure if anyone knows exactly why it happens. The fix:
Go to TWRP terminal and punch this in:

Thanks, I did that last night. Now im on Fulmics ROM and love it.

Slightly off topic, but are you missing the Wifi-calling at all (on Fulmics)?

Off topic but is this LG G5 support custom rom? I just got my hand on this device. Thanks for any response.

Is there any surefire way to make a backup on twrp of this after installing a restore of apps, and then transferring it to my pc? I tried it and it seemed to work at first but when I went back only the lonely boot file was inside the backup folder..
im about to sell this phone and get a oneplus damn.. :cyclops:

Thank you for the reply, will start looking for it.

just wanted to mention that the modem download actually takes you to the complete download instead.. but if you go through the folder it works fine

I am currently running LineageOS nightly for my h830 and enjoying it, but I'm interested in regaining NFC functionality while maintaining root. Is this something that I can do with a reversion to stock? What bloat should I expect?

Any instruction for how I can go from h83020m to 20n without losing root? Or how to capture an image of an unrooted 20n?
I tried a method of editing the update prop in 20n to work with twrp and it flashed but temporarily bricked my phone :3 thanks

You'll need to wait for either @bedwa, @autoprime or some other knowledgeable person to make a flashable zip to TWRP over your existing 20M installation.
Also they'd need a source of the new 20N KDZ file.

I understand. So there's no current explantion as to how they capture the image, or any general instruction? I'm just looking for a way to capture a stock H83020n system image, honestly.
Is there a site where KDZs are published? The N update is on LG firmware

Stock Recovery .img

I have twrp installed on a T-mobile h918 lg v20. I ended up selling my v20 to my grandpa. It works fine, but he tried to take an ota and it got stuck in a twrp bootloop. I reflashed twrp recovery and the phone is working fine again, but it still wants to install the OTA.
I realize once I install the stock recovery.img it will be impossible to get twrp again, but my grandpa will be using the phone for the next few years, and I'd rather it be able to get system updates.
Does anyone have a stock recovery.img for the tmobile LG V20? I'd like the one from the 10q build if possible (that's what the phone is currently running), but I don't know how often the recovery.img actually gets updated so an older/newer stock recovery.img might work as well.
I understand I can use a whole kdz to flash the whole thing to stock, but the rest of the phone is already stock, and I'd rather not risk losing installed apps and stuff or making them unstable. I just want to flash the stock recovery.img in twrp.
Thanks in advance!

I can't post it for you today, but if you can wait till tomorrow, I will send you a link.

I have twrp installed on a T-mobile h918 lg v20. I ended up selling my v20 to my grandpa. It works fine, but he tried to take an ota and it got stuck in a twrp bootloop. I reflashed twrp recovery and the phone is working fine again, but it still wants to install the OTA.
I realize once I install the stock recovery.img it will be impossible to get twrp again, but my grandpa will be using the phone for the next few years, and I'd rather it be able to get system updates.
Does anyone have a stock recovery.img for the tmobile LG V20? I'd like the one from the 10q build if possible (that's what the phone is currently running), but I don't know how often the recovery.img actually gets updated so an older/newer stock recovery.img might work as well.

If you don't want to wait you can just extract it yourself from stock rom

Thanks! I extracted a rom zip I found on xda but it has a recoverybak.bin, can I just rename the .bin file to an img file? I also downloaded the kdz and attempted to extract it, I tried the ext2 partition tool for Windows but I wasn't able to extract it. If someone could tell me how to extract the kdz that works too. Thank you so much both of you for the quick responses!

Ended up flashing the whole KDZ because I couldn't obtain the img file. Thanks to everyone who tried to help out. Everything is good now.
