No SDCARD access? - LG V20 Questions & Answers

New to the LG line of phones so I have a few issues I can't seem to fix. My SDCARD will not appear in twrp. I have had to adb push files to / in order to install from TWRP. Is their a way to get it to mount?
Also I am on a mac and this is the first android device I cannot get to connect. I even tried lg airdrive but it just times out. Any help would be appreciated.

Not running Boot Camp I am going to try and push to root and flash ROM that way

To not create another thread TWRP asks for a pin but not sure wtf it wants. I tried the security pin i made to open the lock screen, but that isnt the right pin.

twrp askes for a encryption password. you need to push cancel and format data to decrypt.

Locked out of your phone? SOLUTION! [ROOTED ONLY]

So I flashed a rom to test and then restored my backup and now my pattern doesn't work. Anyone had this issue before? There isn't any chance I'm using the wrong pattern because I've used the same one for ages and this pattern has been set on this rom for days working just fine. I'm not sure why it won't work now but i'm definitely never going to use a lock again because this is annoying to be locked out of my own phone lol.
If anyone knows how to get around this please help. I don't feel like having to do a clean rom flash right now :/
-------
As you can see above I was locked out of my phone after doing a backup restore. The solution can be found here I just linked the actual post so the proper user gets credit. Be sure to thank him.
I ended up having to wipe and flash a clean ROM. I tried everything I could think of and every time it failed to recognise my pattern. It's funny because usually I don't use a lock on my phone but it's actually a bit faster to get into them with the fingerprint reader so I started using it. But I'm just sticking with swipe to unlock for now on because it's highly annoying to get locked out your own phone especially when you know for a certainty you are using the correct code.
I did do a little google searching on the issue and found that it has happened to a lot of S7 owners and most seem to get it working again with a few reboots but that didn't work for me. I wiped cache and dalvik, pulled my battery and left it out for ten minutes, rebooted many times, and every time it failed to recognise my pattern. Sucks because I had just got my phone setup exactly how I wanted after several days of configuring and tweaking.
I had the same issue today.
And I always use the same pattern, which it wouldn't accept. When I had a S7E, I remember having to delete finger prints before making a backup.
I guess I'll start doing the same with the V20.

I had run into this same thing myself, but luckily someone on IRC mentioned the fix to me... if you boot into TWRP and rename/move/delete the /data/system/locksettings.db file, you should be able to get back into your device with a swipe. for some reason after restoring a backup of your /data, that file's contents are no longer valid. if anyone has an explanation why, I'd love to hear it...

I considered that perhaps in the future it would be wise to change it to swipe to unlock before doing the backup. But I know myself and I would forget so for now I'm just going to use swipe

turn device off. hold the vol-down and power button to turn device back on. release the power button for a second after you see the LG logo and press the power button again all the while holding the vol-down.

I restored my backup again so I could get locked out, it worked lol. I tried that method but it did not work. Google detected I had a screen lock method on, so it would not overwrite the pin.
Have no clue on how the LG version would work.

help... possible brick. Cant get vendor rights in twrp to restore.

Somehow when updating twrp for my girlfriend lost rewrite rights. Have the dreaded lockout without a password even though she was never locked down. Suggested default password does not work. Wug-fresh tool kit is able to connect but gets stuck. Cant boot to enable usb debugging.

You should be able to go into fastboot and flash a complete factory image. I had the exact same problem. Using flash-all.bat command and image from Google website fixed phone but that also erased everything. Maybe someone else has a less drastic solution.

So at this point you have only written to the recovery partition? Is her phone stock 7.1.1? Encrypted? Rooted? Kernel? Try to provide as much information as you can. Have you just tried wiping the recovery partition and installing the stock recovery? You can also use NRT to install the previous version of TWRP you started with. That may get you back into the OS. Before wiping data, I would try the flash-all.bat method jhs39 suggests, but removing the -w switch to preserve data. Either that, or use NRT to flash stock + unroot (but select preserve data).
Got it back up and running. Could not get anything to connect through USB. Not even adb. Found a thread where someone had the same problem and tried skipsofts tool so gave that a go and low and behold it work. Got a little nervous for a bit plus had a few adults beverages. Hence the panic thread. Haha. Thanks for the response guys! She's back up and running on pure Nexus.

Rooted 6t and having issues after installing TWRP.

I followed this guide I was foolish not to look more into on how to do this.I am rooted. I can get into TWRP but my stock rom isnt booting. When i first installed twrp it was requiring a password for encryption. After looking into this it was caused from the finger scanner. Nothing i was able to do to get passed the encryption password worked. I even tried installing a newer version of twrp but it failed. Now it looks like im on 3.2.3-6 and its not asking for the password but it still looks encrypted. I also tried following directions to restore using the 6T MsmDownloadTool but when i try on click on start it says "Waiting for device" and it never connects. My PC is able to see the phone but it wont allow me to manually drag files to it. Can i mount the data partition in twrp to force it to boot to the os? Need some help.

The password is usually your PIN for your phone. At least it is in my case
Also do you have the TMobile version or no?
If you can get into TWRP, flash Magisk and you should be able to boot to Android.
By the way, next time follow the instructions on the thread here https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...overy-unofficial-twrp-touch-recovery-t3861482
This is the most current version for this device, 3.2.3-8

Thanks for the link. It was my bad. Im coming from a iphone and im only used to jailbreaking. I was able to boot to the OS by booting to partition B. It did a factory reset but some files are still there though. Like music files. Now when it boots it shows the bootloader unlocked screen but then boots totally fine now. I'll use the updated info this time around. Thank you

Trying to flash files in TWRP and can't make sense of what I'm seeing

Sorry if this sounds dumb but I've been out of the modding game for a long time and I barely knew what I was doing when I started. I've had 2 other devices since I last rooted so something's aren't adding up.
When I view my files in TWRP they seem almost encrypted, mainly the sdcard. If I wanted to install an image or zip file in the past I would find them on the sdcard and flash away. I attached a video to show in detail what I am seeing. Sorry for the poor quality. EDIT: sorry, after uploading my gif I see it only made it a thumbnail. I'll work on a correct version.
Thank you in advance.
They are encrypted. I see you are using BluSpark's TWRP, what OS / Version are you running? Does BluSpark work with the May security patch? Previous versions of TWRP had problems with the latest security patch and could not decrypt it.
Boot 3.3.1-6 from here then see if your files are still encrypted.

I'm running 9.0.11
I'll try that version you linked. Thanks. I assume I have to install using adb sor USB OTG since my internal file system is encrypted, right?

Yeah, either use a USB drive through OTG or copy it to internal (when in OOS) and use fastboot to boot the newer TWRP. You should be able to install from internal storage after that.
Disable fingerprint, smartlock , face recognizing etc.
It's security related.
Reboot
Then the folders show normal

9.0.14 has the May security patch and the new encryption, which will be an issue. I'm not sure why you are seeing that with 9.0.11, but definitely try the other version I linked to, I know it is up to date. Worst case, as mentioned, if you temporarily remove your password / pin code / pattern everything will just work. However then you will have to redo this, along with all your finger prints. Not that it's a big deal. Just get the right TWRP, and you won't have to do that.

Temporarily disabled? I'm not sure how to disable other than delete the fingerprints all together. Will I need to do this every time I need.to boot into recovery?

If you just delete your password / pin / etc, it will automatically delete all your finger prints and your TWRP problem will go away. No you should NOT need to do this. This is only because you don't have an up to date, or the wrong version of TWRP installed. I never remove my password and go into TWRP all the time. It's not an issue.

I think all you need to do here is turn off your screen lock by setting it to "None."
When you reboot to TWRP, you should see the files now unencrypted.
TWRP had the potential to allow you to input a "Pattern" screen lock, but I can't guarantee it will work under all circumstances, nor do I know what it does with fingerprint scans, etc.

Setting up Lineage with a broken display

Hi, I'm trying to run Android on my Switch, but the LCD is broken. The digitizer works fine, but everything beyond the far right side of the screen is unintelligible. Lineage itself works fine docked, but to install OpenGApps and/or Magisk I need TWRP. Unfortunately for me, TWRP doesn't display anything on the second screen, it's completely blank.
First, I tried installing Magisk manually. I made sense of the install script as best as I could, but the Magisk app says it's not installed. I tried TWRP ADB, but I've gathered from the guide thread that USB doesn't work. Then I tried enabling root with ADB and connecting over the network, but I can't get it to authenticate. I couldn't find the adb_keys file, so I created it at (the main partition with the most space? It's unnamed)/adb/adb_keys and have set the permissions to 0644 and owner to 0:0 with no luck. I revoked keys in settings and nothing happened, so this might actually be the wrong place. I've done quite a bit of Google-ing over the last few hours, and nothing I can find applies here.
I'm not quite sure where to go from here, I would greatly appreciate any ideas. Thanks!
Have you another switch?
Reflash Linage on your SD card put it in the other switch install your stuff over twrp press reboot it comes black screen. Shutdown the switch put the SD card in your switch an it works.
Can you access twrp over your pc whit adb?
Try it when the switch is docket.

No, no other Switch. What do you mean try when it's docked?
put your switch in the dock while twrp is running. connect the USB port of your dock to your PC and try to connect via twrp. if you don't have a connection cable, try an Android smartphone.

That's not quite how USB works. I can't run adb from my phone anyways, it isn't rooted.
EDIT: I'm not quite sure I understood you. Did you mean plug the dock into the computer via USB-C? If so, I've just tried that and it didn't work.
I have managed to get ADB working! ADB with root is working fine, but I don't know how I can install Magisk and/or OpenGApps from here.

Yes the switch can't speak by the usb C port whit Your computer but when the switch docket he can speak by the dock's usb port.
The reason is that the switches Otg doesn't work.
If that doesn't work for you then I can make you a finished image of what Open Gapps and magisk has already installed.

The Switch dock doesn't work without power, I just tested. There wouldn't be a way to connect it via USB.
I would very much appreciate it if you could make an image I can use, though! As long as it isn't a bother!
Ok what image size do you need for your SD card? Do you need an Emunand partition for atmosphere?
But it will take a while.

My card is 128 GB and I don't need an emunand partition. I can organize the partitions after I write them with gparted, no? It shouldn't really matter.
Yes you can if you know how to do it. If I have the time, I'll make you a finished image.
Do you can boot into hekate?
can you activate root on another way? You can try Flashify, its like a "live System recovery".
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify&hl=de
If you will setup android on another switch, you can boot it on your switch, but you wlan and bt dont work.
Maybe it is possible to flash gapps and co, without booting the main system (what will install mac and co. for wireless connections). So you just have to normal boot and all is fine
We have Multiboot pre-build Images:

I can boot Hekate and use it without the GUI, conveniently it displays text on the right side of the screen which is somewhat usable.
Doesn't Flashify require root access? I only have root access over ADB at the moment, Magisk is not installed. I don't have another Switch to install Magisk or OpenGApps. I checked the link, but it doesn't seem like those are any different at first glance? Correct me if I'm wrong.
Yes, flashify needs root.
Maybe you can try kingroot to get root and then flash magisk and Co. Via flashify.

Google gives me rather sketchy domains. Can you link this?
I have managed to gain root through Lineage! I found extra addons that LineageOS provides (specifically this one) and manually copied the system items to the system partition, taking care to set permissions right. After that, going into developer settings and checking the root setting now provides an 'Apps' option which is exactly what I'm looking for.
However, I couldn't install OpenGApps. Flashify claimed the flash completed successfully yet nothing new appeared after a reboot, and the OpenGApps app rebooted the Switch instantly when trying to install.
Hmm, cool way to get root.
But sorry IT doesnt Work.
The First Boot after gapps need much time, how Long do you wait?

As long as it took to boot. It didn't take any longer than normal, though.

I'm so sorry I couldn't get back to you sooner! I've been distracted. I've since bought an RCM jig and learned of Hekate autoboot, so that's less painful.
I just tried to boot that image, and it 'Failed to mount SD!'. I can no longer read anything more than the first line though. I'll hopefully be getting my screen replaced soon, so I can finally figure this out.
