I've been trying during the last few hours to flash CWM/TWRP to my S4. Before starting, my phone was simply rooted (with CF-auto-root and Odin).
So I ran
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
and now I'm trying to flash with
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <recovery.img>
, but I keep getting the following error:
Code:
sending 'recovery' (9588 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.419s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: FAILSecure - Secure check failed)
finished. total time: 1.224s
(This one is from a run with recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-jfltexx.img, I also tried openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-jgedlte.img and got the same error).
I ran
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
to see if it would help, but it did not do any better in the next tries to flash.
Now, I DID manage to boot into CWM with
Code:
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-jfltexx.img
, but I rather flash it (Especially now that I erased the stock recovery.)
I also tried Odin and Heimdall, but Odin simply crashes when I hit "Start" and Heimdall fails to to communicate with my phone.
EDIT: Great. When booting with "fastboot boot", TWRP's touch doesn't work. CWM's touch doesn't work either, so I use the non-touch version, but when trying to install CM with ADB sideload, adb on my PC doesn't recognize CWM. What am I supposed to do now...?

You are giving him instructions for the I9505. I think he has a I9505G, so he should not follow your instructions. You are giving him a recovery for the I9505. The I9505G is a different model.
If Heimdall fails to communicate with your phone, then you don't have the correct drivers installed. TWRP doesnt have a non touch version. So my guess is that you flashed the recovery for a different device.
If the phone is already rooted just use ROM Manager or TWRP Manager apps from Google Play.
Both will just wipe out and overwrite any existing recovery image and replace it with the one you want. Problem solved right from the phone. No ADB shell needed.
Thanks guys. I managed to flash both philz (That link you gave me, although it is for I9505 and I do have a I9505G) and TWRP.
Both work, but besides them the phone is completely bricked.

If you can boot to recovery the phone is not a complete brick.
Once you are in recovery you can flash anything you want. You should be able to flash any new ROM and it will boot right up.
I am wanting to root my old Nexus 4 because you can apparently use a USB OTG cable with it once it's rooted? I can't seem to get the damn thing rooted though!
I've been following this tutorial, as the second video is specifically for Mac users.
I've managed to unlock my boot loader, and then try to flash CWM, but whenever i reset my phone, it doesn't boot into CWM, just the normal boot screen. I've followed the video step by step and tried it multiple times, with no success.
I've also tried using these one-click methods (the One-Click ClockworkMod Recovery Toolkit version), and I can boot into CWM recovery, but then whenever I restart my phone, I loose the CWM recovery,
Can anybody help me try to root my Nexus 4 on Mac OS X. I don't mind not rooting if there is another way USB OTG can be used with the Nexus 4?

Use TWRP 3.0.0, it's up to date and supported still. The flashing process is the same as CWM: ./fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.0-0-mako.img Also, to boot into recovery, power off your phone and hold Volume Down+Power and it will boot into the bootloader, then use the volume buttons to select recovery and power button to boot it into recovery. I use OS X so if you need any help just quote me and I'll try to help out
Edit
If you have ADB downloaded as well in the same directory of Fastboot, you can enable USB Debugging under developer options in Settings on your N4. Type /.adb reboot recovery in Terminal whenever you want to boot into recovery, without having to do the above process that I mentioned.
After flashing recovery, boot directly into recovery after flashing using the volume and power button. Do not reboot the phone before booting into the new recovery. Also, there is no need to power off the phone before booting the new recovery for the first time.

Thanks for the advice. I downloaded TWRP and booted into recovery. I then entered the following into the terminal:
Code:
A-MacBook-Pro:RootNexus4 A$ ./fastboot-mac flash recovery twrp-3.0.0-0-mako.img
sending 'recovery' (9122 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.292s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.475s]
finished. total time: 0.767s
I then changed the setting on my N4 from 'Start', to 'Recovery Mode' and pressed the power button. It seems to have booted into TWRP correctly. I then chose to restart phone as normal and got the infinite boot sequence of coloured balls swooping in-between each other...
I'm confused whats going on here...

I've now tried to Reboot (through TWRP, and clicked Bootloader, but TWRP says there is no OS installed. Thats probably why I get the infinite boot loop? How can I re-install the OS? I've downloaded the factory image from Google, but can't flash it...
You can manually flash each partition to the phone using fastboot commands. This will restore the phone back to stock.
Once the phone is able to boot the stock rom, reinstall twrp, boot into twrp, and flash supersu.
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

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.

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.

Hi everyone,
I'm no stranger to flashing custom ROMs or recovery on my devices, but I can't figure out for the life of me how to get TWRP on my LG G6 (H870)..
I flashed the recovery partition using fastboot, which outputs:
Code:
> fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-h870.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (21348 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.567s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.218s]
finished. total time: 0.786s
Then I use
Code:
>fastboot reboot-bootloader
rebooting into bootloader...
OKAY [ 0.020s]
finished. total time: 0.021s
This restarts the device.
I then immediately start holding the power and volume down buttons and as soon as the logo appears, I let go and hold the buttons again. (this is described by a few websites as the way to do it).
The device reboots twice and then boots straight back into the stock ROM that was shipped with the device. TWRP is gone after that.
Does anyone know how to get into TWRP before it is overwritten by the stock ROM on boot?
EDIT:
When trying to boot from the recovery image, I get the following error:
Code:

This has been repeted endlessly, after flashing twrp you need to press and keep pressing power and vol- until it turns off, then press and keep press both until the lg logo, leave the power button and immediately press it and keep press it until you reach the reset instructions, follow them and it'll boot in twrp.
Oh and this is written in the installation instructions in the official twrp thread, both fastboot boot and fastboot reboot recovery command won't work.

So to be clear:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot
hold POWER + VOL- until LG logo
release POWER briefly but keep holding VOL-
hold POWER + VOL- again while the logo is still displaying
wait for reset instructions
?
Because, at step 6~7, the phone just reboots because I'm holding POWER and VOL- too long (about 7~10 seconds).
It also shows the orange warning that points to http://g.co/ABH while I'm holding the buttons.

This is the correct way to reboot in TWRP the first time, good luck :fingers-crossed:
Yep, that's what I've been doing the whole time.
I think the recovery file I downloaded was corrupted during download or whatever, because I downloaded it again (same link, exact same filesize) and tried again and now it worked first try!
Thanks for your help and patience !
No, you didn't follow the procedure and you don't read carefully what @Killua96 wrote: you don't have to use “3. fastboot reboot“ adb command. Instead of it follow Killua96`s advice “after flashing twrp you need to press and keep pressing power and vol- until it turns off“
Just simple as that.

Is there a way to flash twrp without wipe all data? I flashed a newer version but couldn't use twrp anymore, because I should wipe my data... (like the first flash....) with the old version of twrp I couldn't mount my external SD card, so it wasn't able to made a full backup. (not enough free space on internal sd)
Excuse my double posting... ?

The 1st time it tries to boot in system. If you stop it with the same key combination (vol-, power), the 2nd time you will get into recovery!
(then the decryption issue will start, where I am still blocked)
I have the same issue. I've downloaded the twrp 3.2.3 for my G6 H870. I've unlocked the bootloader and it seems I flashed the recovery successfull. After flashing it I shut down the phone by pressing Vol- and Power and try to boot into recovery by the known Vol- and power with short release of the power-button. But still it brings me to the factory-reset-page. What am I doing wrong?
When you successfully flash twrp using your computer by typing "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
You will see something similar to this:
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (21348 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.567s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.218s]
finished. total time: 0.786s
When you seee this......Unplug phone from computer then hold power and volume down.
Then after a few seconds it will restart.
Keep holding power and volume down.
Soon as you see lg logo keep holding power and volume down....but soon as you see lg logo keep holding volume down but release finger off volume for half a second and press and hold power again until you get to the white reset screen.
Use volume down to select "yes"
And again on next screen use volune down and select "yes"
It will NOT reset your device....it wil instead, after a few seconds boot into recovery.
Then in recovery flash either supersu.zip or magisk.zip
.
30 seconds at most it will then be successfully rooted.
Then restart your phone.
If it says that recovery is not instslled or do you want to install recovery...select NO....restart phone and voila...you have twrp and a rooted G6.

For me, the problem was that the latest TWRP version https://dl.twrp.me/h870/twrp-3.4.0-0-h870.img.html did not boot into recovery. Instead, only the previous version https://dl.twrp.me/h870/twrp-3.3.1-0-h870.img.html works. Very strange. Apparently there will be a new version of TWRP soon so lets hope and see.
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.
EDIT: When I try to boot into TWRP, I get this error:
fastboot: error: cannot load 'recovery': No such file or directory

and when I try to re-flash TWRP, I get this error:

Sending 'recovery' (28928 KB) OKAY [ 0.764s]
Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')
Finished. Total time: 0.827s

Can you get in Twrp with button combo? For me its while boot hold vol down and power then at lg logo release the power for a sec and re hold until the while screen and then select yes twice.
There is also download mode and reflashing twrp that way I believe...
Dont 100% me on that .

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.

Is the phone in download mode ?
adb doesn't work in download mode
What does the command fastboot devices return?
