Now that LG has released the bootloader unlock for the RS988 it can now be rooted.
------------------------------------------------------------------------Disclaimer---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This post is meant to be educational and I am not responsible for any lost data or damaged devices resulting from the following instructions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----Instructions on Unlocking your bootloader can be found here---------
WARNING THIS WILL FORMAT YOUR DEVICE
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/official-european-lg-g5-h850-bootloader-t3363040
The only difference is selecting RS988 when selecting your device
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requierments:
ADB
fastboot
An RS988 LGG5
The working (though not entirely tested!) TWRP image is found here https://build.nethunter.com/test-builds/twrp/lge/twrp-3.0.2-1-rs988.img (Thank you jeffsga88 for finding this link)
The Latest SuperSu Binary
Step 1:
Make sure your RS988 is fully updated, the rebooting into the bootloader is only unlocked in the most recent updates.
Step 2:
Enable Developer options and USB Debugging
Step 3:
Enter Command
Code:
adb reboot bootloder
Step 4:
Once in bootloader run
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [path to twrp image on your pc]
Step 5:
Turn off the device DO NOT let it boot back into android!!
If you do boot back into android, you will need to re-flash TWRP (Steps 1-4)
Step 6:
With your device unplugged, hold power and volume down, releasing the power button for a moment when you see the LG logo, then
re-pressing the button to enter recovery, on the following screen select yes both times
Step 7:
(The Following Text other than step numbers is written by and entirely created by jcadduono, and can be also found at his post at https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/recovery-team-win-recovery-project-lg-g5-t3363047)
At this point, you will see the TWRP splash and reach a screen asking you if you want to allow system modifications.
By swiping right, you will trigger dm-verity, and if you don't follow step 8 you will be unable to boot!
If you are going to root your device or follow the rest of these steps, then it is safe to swipe right and enable modifications.
Step 8:
Only if you want internal storage or data to work in TWRP:
Go to [Wipe] -> [Format Data] (not advanced wipe) -> type "yes".
WARNING: This will wipe your internal storage, disable encryption, and factory reset your phone!
Go to [Reboot] -> [Recovery].
Step 9:
Please consider backing up your stock boot partition in TWRP before proceeding to the next steps!
Step 10:
If you want to be rooted with SuperSU:
Download the latest SuperSU stable by Chainfire.
Without exiting TWRP, transfer the SuperSU zip to your device over MTP* and flash it using [Install] in TWRP.
-or-
If you only want a bootable system partition or writable data in TWRP:
Download dm-verity and force encryption disabler.
Without exiting TWRP, transfer the no-verity-opt-encrypt zip to your device over MTP* and flash it using [Install] in TWRP.
Step 11:
Go to [Reboot] -> [System].
---------End of jcadduono post clip-------------
Now upon reboot, the phone may loop a few times and take up to 5 minutes to complete the process.
When you get into the device, run through setup as normal and you will have SuperSu installed and you will be rooted.
I can not verify Magisk Root Yet but will be attempting to do so soon.
You guys that have the rs988 you may want to ask one of the devs to add support for LOS and custom ROMs. But don't bug them either.
Maybe @King_lilrowrow could help if he has time, although I know he's been busy lately with other things. Hopefully someone will help you guys out. I have no idea how to, otherwise I would try and help. Nice you guys have rootr and twrp finally though.
I am using latest version: RS98810d
Step 4: flash recovery finished without error but cannot Power Off when press "Power" for 10 seconds so I unplug batterry then plugin again and press "Power+Volume down" but it cannot so I tried run command "fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-1-rs988.img" after re-flash recovery but system shows:

After flashing recovery, unplug USB cable and pull battery. Put battery back in, then press and hold volume down (hold volume down entire time) and press and hold the power button, when you see the lg logo, let go of power button for 1 second and then press and hold power button again until it reaches factory reset screen. One at factory reset screen select yes both times and you'll enter TWRP. When using the buttons remember to never let go of the volume down button only the power button for 1 second at lg logo.
You can also try after flashing it:
adb reboot recovery
Note: you must reflash TWRP if you allowed it to boot into os without flashing SuperSU or magisk.

It is stated instead of doing that you turn off the phone and boot into the recovery with power+voldown

No problem! Glad we finally have it on RS988
I've held off on unlocking the bootloader and rooting, since it seems there currently are no ROMs available for the RS988 to flash. Basically you just end up with rooted stock?

Yes, currently all you can do is install TWRP and root stock. You can also install some audio mods like viper, but no custom ROMs yet for this version of the device.
Is there a touch TWRP recovery available? Granted I'm not sure if I will be able to flash it, since my power button is broken.

Yes it's touch TWRP, can't even remember last time I saw a non-touch based one, been at least 3 years or so. Anyways it's located in the op. As far as flashing it, I believe you can do it without the power button. The issue will be rebooting to recovery after flashing it to flash SuperSU or magisk (if you don't do that or at least get into TWRP before first bit after flashing and delete the recovery from boot.p file, TWRP will be overwritten by default recovery and you have to flash again). While in fastboot mode, after flashing you could try and use:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Not sure if that will get work or not while in fastboot mode, but something to try since your power button is broke.
Is it work on h860?

You can always check using LG bridge and use update feature. If just wanting to know because your wanting to root and get TWRP, try and follow the guide. If you're not on latest version you'll know because you won't be able to unlock the bootloader using fastboot. If you can unlock your bootloader, you're good to go.
Here's the link and info for LG bridge and using it to check for updates:

Hi,
I have a Droid Maxx XT1080.
I purchased a Moto 360 and my Maxx was running 4.2.2 so it wasn't compatibility. I've never updated cause I had root & wifi tether. I found out sunshine would be able to unlock my bootloader so I did it. I then used RSLite and flashed 4.4.4. So now I have 4.4.4, no root, no wifi tether, unlocked bootloader. I've been trying to flash recovery with TWRP or CWM with no luck. It says it flashed via command prompt and fastboot but when I go to select recovery in fastboot it just reboots the phone. With the phone off and pressing power and volume up, it won't enter recovery as well, just boots straight up.
I don't know if I should just use RSLite to flash the whole phone back to a different state and try again. I just don't want to write over the unlocked bootloader accidentally.
I tried using this recovery method with no luck: http://www.addictivetips.com/android/root-moto-x-install-cwm-recovery-complete-guide/
I've also tried TWRP 2.8
Thanks,
Ambrose
You press volume down and power hold the rocker 1st

Understood, that brings me to fastboot which I then scroll down to recovery and hit the power button to select. I get a blank screen and have to press and hold my power button again for the phone to eventually reboot into Android.
OK what is said via fastboot flashing are you flashing as root/admin?

That actually brought me into CWM, but it wouldn't let me do anything. I just saw the logo in the middle and version number at the bottom. I just flash TWRP and used adb to get into recovery that seems to be working! What is preventing me from getting to recovery from fastboot?
Thank you!
My guess has something to do with it not being made for your device, try flashing moto x recovery first then the custom one
when in fastboot you use vol up to select not the power button. i think this is where you are going wrong.
This should work

I just went through the same thing on a Maxx last night. This is what worked for me
Download TWRP 2.8 from here http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/ghost
flash that through the dos windows with your phone booted to fastboot mode.
as soon as the phone resets hold the power and vol down. you must do this fast. Then pick recovery and twrp should boot up. then exit twrp and it should ask you to root, move the slide bar and you all set.

is your bootloader unlocked? if it is this is the command you should be typing.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
just replace the recovery.img portion with the file name of your twrp file.

Still didn't work..
Instead of using RSD or RSD Lite use moto-fastboot. I stopped using RSD a long time ago. I was having an issue flashing the TWRP recovery on my phone but i noticed when I first flashed my phone with 4.4.4 it failed the motoboot.img flash. So when i re-flashed my phone with 4.4.4 and then re-flashed TWRP it finally worked out for me.
Being motorola uses moto-fasboot regular fastboot won't work.

FAQ
1. Stuck at white screen with asus logo?
Sol. a) White screen means you are unlocked (action of unlock.bat), so you may give a try to restore.bat in fastboot mode.
b) If you can go to recovery mode then you can go to previous state(before starting unlocking) by using adb command
First boot to recovery(it should be the stock one), you'll see dead android logo, keep pressing power -then vol up-then release vol up- now release power. (This should be quick, otherwise pressing power button for too long will shut you down)
When successfull, you'll see options, choose apply update from adb, and follow command
Code:
adb sideload mm.zip
You must rename the downloaded zip to mm.zip . Or you can replace mm.zip to xxxxxxxxxxx.zip (whatever the name of downloaded zip)
Warning Before that you must download same version full firmware from asus website Here
2. Having problems with device connection? like waiting for device.
Sol. Make sure you have enabled USB Debugging (Not applicable for BL Unlocking and TWRP Flashing)
Uninstall all drivers previously installed on computer(every driver of any device)
Reboot your computer. And then install all drivers given in the driver folder.
If the problem persists, try different computer and different usb cable.
3. Facing permission denied in fastboot mode or while running script files.
Sol. Try disabling your lock screen security to none.
4. Want to relock bootloader?
Sol. No possible way for now. The post will be updated if it ever comes.
5. Safetynet Failed?
Sol. 1. Have you enabled Magisk Hide in the settings of Magisk Manager? Try toggle to disable, and re-enable again.
2. If you are using SuperSU, you often need suhide, or maybe other solutions. Developer do not have control of how SuperSU behaves.
3. It might be due to xposed. Either you remove xposed or wait for future updates.

If you successfully followed these steps then root will persist. Check your steps. I've done this in 3 phones successfully.

Yes, But before that I need to know some things.
1. Your phone can be powered on(meaningless but still want to know.)
2. Can you reach bootloader.? I.e. fastboot mode.
3. Or you cannot see any bootloader while pressing volume + and power, but your phone is only showing asus logo.
Is there any way to access TWRP recovery after all is said and done? When ever I try to go into recovery via fastboot, it just takes me back to fastboot again.

Yes but you have to unlock bootloader again using unlock.bat and go to recovery menu flash whatever you want, reboot to bootloader again and run restore.bat.

I've been trying to root my Asus Zenfone 2 since the day Marshmallow Launched for it.
I bricked my phone 3 times. And finally I found true working process. I thought to share with you mates.Rooting voids warranty. Also If some damage occurs because of wrong steps taken by you, Neither me nor forum is responsible. Do at your Own risk. Though Im sure If you follow the steps carefully you wont get problem.
Prefer to backup your device apps and data.
First read the post twice carefully then proceed.
There are two process which should be followed precisely.
1. Temporarily Unlock Bootloader.
2. Root and Install Xposed Installer*
*=Though Xposed is not necessary but Xposed is very helpful, so its your choice.
Download all Files given below
Step 1: Enable Usb Debugging
For that go to "Settings" ,Scroll to bottom goto "about", goto "Software Information", tap "Build number" upto 7 times or till it says
"You are a developer now". Connect phone to your computer via usb (Make sure you have Installed android drivers in your Pc, If not install pda.net from Here)
Step 2: Copy "Magisk-v6_repack_for_zf2_601.zip","phh-superuser-17-magisk-x86-fix.zip" and "xposed-v86.5-sdk23-topjohnwu_repack_for_zf2_601.zip" to your Internal Memory.
Step 3: Extract "unlock_for_zf2_551ml_6.0_20160703.zip" to your desktop. And run "Unlock.bat". It will restart your device to bootloader and install , and again reboot. Now it will struck at Asus logo with white background.
Step 4: Force Shutdown your phone by pressing power button for 10 seconds. Then start it into bootloader mode by pressing "Vol+"and "Power" buttons simultaneously. When it vibrates leave power button only(keep pressing "Vol+" until you see bootloader mode)
Step 5: Install twrp recovery from fastboot mode (google it if you dont know)
command " fastboot flash recovery twrp.img "
twrp is provided.
after successfull execution of command go to recovery mode by pressing down button on bootloader mode and allow modifications for twrp.
Step6: In TWRP, goto "Install" and browse three files which you copied to Internal Memory, And flash them In same order Which I say
"Magisk-v6_repack_for_zf2_601.zip"
"phh-superuser-17-magisk-x86-fix.zip"
"xposed-v86.5-sdk23-topjohnwu_repack_for_zf2_601.zip"
tap soft button for "Back" and tap "Reboot" And choose "Bootloader"
Step7: When in bootloader mode. Go back to your PC and double click "Restore.bat".
It will again lock your Bootloader(As it is necessary for your phone to boot) and reboot your phone. Your phone will optimize for 5-10 minutes depending upon number of apps Installed.
Step8: Install 3 Apps for accessing root and xposed given in folder.
named: Magisk manager apk
phh super user apk
xposed apk
YOUR PHONE IS ROOTED NOW.
Thanks.
For Any querry or doubt please ask.

I seriously thank you for this guide. I have been spending the last 12 hours looking for a working guide; though other guides were correct, it's your guide that lead me right to where I should be. I've completed the guide without problems.:good::highfive::good:

is there a way without unlocking bootloader first?
I was wondering with the TWRP provided in this root process, can we install a custom ROM with it? If so, can you provide any steps? (I want CyanogenMod)
I am totally confused, every time, the phone rebooted, it rolled back to unroot...
I had already followed any single instruction, as stated in this thread.

any chance you guys didn't unlocked bootloader before upgrading to MM from LP
Thank you very much! I'm a rooted Zenfone owner.
I am using moto x style and unlocked bootloader with 'Windroid Universal Android Toolkit' v2.5 but cannot flash TWRP and root this apl. Today I tried flash TWRP and then root but after showing 'Congratulation' pop up,my phone stucked on 'No command' page. I tried twice and same result. Later i check there is either no TWRP or root by SuperSU. And i see youtube video and and read many XDA forum and comments and most of the users says the phone stuck on M logo page when reboot after the root process. And all says its a issue with Marshmallow. And most of the xda posts and youtube video are made during 5.1.1 so there is no problem in that video during flash TWRP and root. So i need a seamless process to flash TWRP and root on Marshmallow so that it doesnot stuck on M logo. And I dont want to downgrade to L for root. And unluckily if it stuck M logo thwn what to do to go back to home screen?Thank you.

My build no is 24.49-18-4. So is this process suitable for this build no? And still i dont flash TWRP. I tried with "Windroid Universal Android Toolkit app" to flash TWRP. though it showed a 'Successful' pop up but it didn't. Can I go with any old process to flash TWRP or u have a new process?

Step 1 - Stop using toolkits! They rarely work right on modern Android devices. With the Moto the only safe, reliable way to root is manually.
I don't know what the 'old way' is to flash TWRP your referring to here... I recommend one time booting twrp with "fastboot boot twrp.img" command (replace twrp.img with your actual twrp image file) then perform a backup to the SD card or USB OTG device and put it away for safe keeping. Then flash twrp either with twrp you have booted, or manually with "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"
The rooting method I linked before is valid for all Marshmallow builds, if you have Lollipop or Nougat you need to find a different method.

On your device, go into Settings -> About and find the Build Number and tap on it 7 times to enable developer settings. Press back and go into Developer Options and enable USB debugging. From your computer, open a command prompt and type:
adb reboot bootloader
You should now be in fastboot mode.
Download the correct image file and copy the file into the same folder as your adb and fastboot binaries. Rename the image to twrp.img and type:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot
Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.
I am saying about this official method which is on twrp.me site. And after typing 'fastboot reboot' what I have to do to go home page? Sorry to ask u so many things. Actually I am totally new in this thing and very much worry after facing issues 2-3 times. And thank u very much for fast reply.
One more ques, I have unlocked bootloader with that "Windroid Universal Android Toolkit". Now in fastboot it shows 'bootloader unlocked,code 3' is that ok? As u say toolkit doesnot work on modern devices.

So Moto is a tad different... After you flash recovery, do not reboot with fastboot, instead use the Vol Dn key select Recovery and press Power to start it. When the splash screen comes up, allow changes to system, then I the TWRP main menu select Reboot - Recovery, the device will start TWRP again and it should be "locked" in. From there perform the rooting.

That mean after typing fastboot flash recovery twrp.img press enter and then i can plug off the usb keeping my device on fastboot then changes to recovery and do the rest?
Btw suppose if i dont want to root it at that time,then what i do? I mean just after flash recovery how to go to home screen without rooting?
And when i want to perform root process later,after installing SuperSU zip if I press power button and vol down then may I go to twrp recovery or ph stock recovery?

You don't need to root if your going CM, flash TWRP, backup, and flash CM. You don't need to over complicate it.
If you boot (not flash) TWRP and backup then get a copy to safe place there is little risk of anything going wrong.

Ok. But is there any regular chance of going wrong during flash TWRP or flash CM? I backed up all internal important data to external sd card and when I perform these process I just remove that sd from phone.
You pls tell me how to go to home screen after flashing TWRP?
And if I need to root it later then also what to do then? I mean if then I press power and vol minus then will I get TWRP recovery to root it or it will be redirectred to phone custom recovery?

There is always a chance of something going wrong, no one can guarantee everything will be fine. We have had people do everything perfectly but something happens and it's bricked... It's rare but does happen.
After you flash TWRP in the bootloader, press Vol Dn until it says Recovery and press power to start it, after several seconds you will get a screen that will ask if it can write to system, select yes, the next screen will be the TWRP home screen.
Once you flash TWRP, your stock recovery is gone, but you access it the same way... Power off, press and hold PWR+Vol Dn and in the bootloader menu select Recovery and press power.

Your last two are redundant, either flash or boot, you don't have to do both, but each has a purpose... Flash is permanent, boot is transient and will disappear on a reboot.
Boot TWRP first, the first time it will not take you to the main page initially but show you a notification page asking if you want allow it to make changes to the system or keep it read-only, this time only do not allow changes... Then the main screen of TWRP will be displayed and you should do a full backup of all partitions to the SD card.
Flash will just write the recovery partition, it doesn't start anything, you select recovery from the fastboot menu to start it.

So after "fastboot boot twrp.img" i have to allow to make changes and have to do a nandroid backup. After that will I get option to "Reboot?"
And later when I went to recovery I will get twrp page instead of stock recovery? 1st I think I should flash cm13 then root then upgrade to 14.1 bcz still a feel little worry to root it on stock rom.

No, almost every part of what your saying is wrong...
Boot twrp and do not allow changes first time and backup. This will give a clean backup to restore from if things go badly.
After this is complete, in TWRP go to Reboot menu and select Bootloader, flash TWRP, do not reboot but use the bootloader menu to start TWRP. This time allow it to make changes to system. At the main menu if twrp go to Reboot - Recovery the device will restart and TWRP will load automatically, this step will lock in twrp so the stock OS doesn't replace it.
You only need to root stock rom, you don't need to root CM roms as they are already rooted (there are a few roms that are not pre-rooted but they are rare and none of the ones your talking about). As far as CM 13 vs 14.1 I can't really help you but from I've read both are stable enough for a daily driver device.

After typing 'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img' i switch to recovery and select it. But it shows recovery failed,bla bla in red colour. I tried 3 times but same result. What to do? now again when I go to the recovery,i see still it is the stock recovery.
Okay, to start with, I've read the other threads about this. I understand the process that *should* work:
1. Power off.
2. Then, press and hold both all Volume Down + Power buttons at the same time until the LG Logo is being displayed on your LG V20.
3. Now, release the keys and press the above combination again however, this time you should wait until recovery mode menu is displayed.
...and I've tried the version where you keep holding the Volume Down button the entire time.
So, yes, I've reached the white screen where it asks you if you want to do a factory reset. I've hit "Yes" to both questions. The problem is that it really does a factory reset then.
---
After unlocking the bootloader, I installed TWRP via fastboot:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot
...everything went fine.
But I can't get into recovery. And since I'm waiting to have TWRP working so that I can flash root, I can't boot into recovery via an app.
What did I do wrong?
EDIT:
Okay, it looks like TWRP isn't working properly. I tried "adb reboot recovery" and that got me to a dead Android icon and a "No command" message. I have no idea why TWRP isn't working.

to confirm, have you verified you are using the correct TWRP version for your V20?
in this step "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" is your twrp image that you saved, named twrp.img? If its not, that command won't work correctly.
usually after I flash recovery, when still in the recovery menu, i choose reboot recovery just to make sure it did stick. If it reboots back to itself, then try rebooting the device, and again confirm with manually entering recovery. Maybe overkill but it works for me LOL.
Good luck!
I am in need of big help! I made a critical error after days of trying to navigate the minefields of rooting my device. I have a LG V20 h910 and it is no one-click wonder root. It made me work for it and I finally got it. I loaded LineageOS 14.1 and all was good until the USB OTG cable from my PS4 controller did not register anymore. Damn, that was a let down, and probably led to my careless move of needing to downgrade my TWRP, saw the version I needed, forgot these are device specific, and now I'm stuck in a hard place.
Perhaps the fix is easy, but I have not found the answer after many, many searches...
I had TWRP 3.2.1-2 and needed to downgrade to 3.2.1-0 to try SuperRom (hoping it would have OTG ability). I hastily grabbed the first TWRP 3.2.1-0, threw it on the SD card, wiped everything except internal storage, and flashed the img, and did a reboot. Road block went up.
I tried getting back into recovery, did the PWR and DOWN pressing combo and got the Factory Reset screen, but after clicking "Yes" to both, instead of getting the TWRP screen, I got this error screen (attached).
I tried another idea - hooked it up USB to my PC and tried accessing it via adb/fastboot. I tried multiple drivers for my device, but no adb and no fastboot devices were ever found. The only thing that almost worked was booting phone into FASTBOOT mode by holding DOWN btn and plugging in a USB cable attached to PC. Once in FASTBOOT mode, My PC at least saw the ID for fastboot device. I tried to flash TWRP via fastboot, and it looked like it would happen, but in the end there was no phone screen response to my attempt, and the cmd window on my PC would get stuck and just hang.
Can someone please advise me on how I can fix this problem?
I fixed the problem by just booting into the LG Factory Reset menu, in order to get into TWRP. I hesitated to do that for a while because I had no way to verify TWRP was still on my device. After running out of options, I decided to just go for it. To my (and probably no one elses) surprise, it went straight into TWRP, where I was able to flash H91820s and Magisk 16.0 in the same TWRP session. Rebooted, everything was how it was except on a new version of Android. Root was retained.
Tried to update Magisk on my TMobile H918 from Magisk version 16.x using the app, and selected Direct Installation. The device is now stuck at the fastboot screen, and I cannot boot into recovery from adb.
Is there a way I can repair things? I am unsure exactly what got deleted/corrupted in the process of the update.

There is also download mode and reflashing twrp that way I believe...

I tried to boot into recovery, but adb detected no recoveries on the system.
I don't want to do the System Format Yes Twice thing because I believe TWRP is gone. And I am unable to re-flash due to "no such command."
The recovery is unable to be written to the device.
