Pretty good instructions? I'm dancing around threads all over. I can't seem to get twrp onto a lollipop build. If I have twrp installed and try to manually go to LP from kk I get a bootloop the last few tries. If I have lp installed I can't seem to get autorec to respond, no matter which cfsu.
@blastagator:
Can you possibly list your steps for cwm and working magisk on your d800? Maybe I need to wipe all but internal, install lp bootstack in twrp-updated to one of your newer versions, install cwm? Is it clean from there to magisk and phhsu, magisk hide, phhapp? Will I need bumpboot ever for this?

I do not use CWM, so I can't help you with that.
Basic Sequence (assuming starting from completely stock):
Use your favorite rooting tool - OneClick Root still works (I think)
Then install AutoRec (appropriate version for your ROM)
That gets you TWRP - boot TWRP with the key combo
Flash newest TWRP - reboot recovery
Flash bootstack to match new ROM (LP for LP or MM)
Advanced wipe, wipe /data, /system, /cache, /sd, /dalvik
Reboot Recovery
Copy new ROM to phone
Install new ROM
Reboot phone, profit
for magisk, flash magisk zip and then flash boot bump zip
IMPORTANT: If ROM has built-in su (like CM13 DOES) you need to delete that from the device.
I'd recommend deleting these BEFORE installing magisk (but I don't know if it actually matters)
For CM13, enable root in the developer menu
use your favorite console app
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
rm /system/xbin/su
rm /system/bin/su
Some ROMs might have an su file in /sbin and you might need to remount / as rw to remove that. For CM13 it is just those two files.

Ahh cm is just the recovery not the rom, you use it and not twrp? The newest twrp for g2d800 is yours...twrp-d800-bump-blastagator?? What rom do you use? Will I be able to transfer files to the phone after wiping? I guess it stays in recovery after a wipe...just not used to that I guess.
Get twrp, flash bootstack...from you, wipe all, push my rom, flash rom, boot to phone. Experience my first ever custom os for a bit....Remove su with adb, boot to recovery, magisk, bump, phhsu zip, boot to phone. Install magisk 2.1, enable hide, reboot, phhsu app, ???, profit.
1. How can I thank ALL your posts ever?
2. Cwm nightly is the rom, the other is the recovery?

Recovery lives in /recovery partition, so I guess I should clarify, don't wipe EVERYTHING, lol. I can't remember if I enabled ability to wipe recovery, DONT DO THAT :silly:
edit: Advanced wipe, wipe /data, /system, /cache, /sd, /dalvik
But, as for everything else, recovery will live through wiping /system /data, etc. You need to backup anything you want to save though. Wipe will destroy everything.
Other than that, you pretty much got the rest.
edit 2: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=d800
See image for ROM vs CM Recovery.
CWM = Clockwork Mod (a different recovery)
CM = CyanogenMod (a ROM)

@blastagator:
Haha I may have noticed that during the process. The bumpbootv1.0 is the one to use for even these newer methods?? That was what q2 really was supposed to be. I keep mentioning you because I assume it helps you see my posts, I assume your pretty busy. Some of those posts and files are rom when the g2 was almost new lol thanks seriously for getting back so fast I wish I could help this community more but I'm a skid
EDIT: awesome, I have to run all Internet functions off of the sprint lte network and was downloading one of those behemoths during that posts....that let's me know my efforts aren't in vain

Please read my edits and don't kill your phone. I am not always so timely in my responses :good:
Other than that, good luck!
There are tons of posts that go into more detail about what I wrote. Just make sure you have a plan before you do it. Think: Measure twice, cut once.

This g2 I found service locked while cleaning out a rental property. I have a galaxy s5 stupid sprint for my primary. I use the g2 for...well everything game and other related. until my Hotspot mod on my galaxy suddenly stopped working on lp. I blame the man
Äptiva is the one I read about a gutted 802 into an 800 or something, got you guys confused!!

@blastagator
Didn't work...steps followed what OS do you use? Do you use you d80030b or something else? No sn or pgo
If I update autorec twrp to your 3.0.2-1 will it hold through a manual FOTA update to 5.0? I use GPS system app for location. Is it possible moving to system then unrooting causes these bootloops and such? My g2 passes sn but I cm and gApps is causing issues? Logged into sc, pass sn, no pgo

CM13.
If you're trying to get safety net to work, you have to enable magisk hide (in the magisk app)
Also, if you're using xposed, you can't use safety net.

@blastagator
Yeah done and done. Only things I can figure is installed the application side of phh su last, and gaps after being phh rooted.? I'm gonna check for su files with es here shortly. Safety net passes, snapchat works, just not pgo
Enabled hide after installing application and got root access when ticking hide. Literally the only thing that won't work is pgo, haven't tried android pay yet
No xposed I bought a way around that, not causing the issue because I haven't installed it on the d800

If the safety net test app passes, it should be working. perhaps downgrade your pogo a version or two, maybe they added something else.

Well, it's on a WiFi only, no SIM device...
I'm thinking this is the issue I'm experiencing now. Which may stem from an update. An older apk is a good idea, I was able to log on with magisk v6 a bit a go and when magisk 7 and 8 first came out I could.

(US996) Any way to get root on the newest update (US99610n)?

As the title states, is there any way to achieve root on the newest build for the US996 unlocked version? I have the bootloader already unlocked, but unfortunately it had already been updated to the latest software, I can get TWRP to install just fine but when I try to install Magisk after wiping data in twrp, I keep getting the same problem on bootup where it says "Encryption unsuccessful" and the only way I can get around that is by flashing back to 100% stock and factory resetting. Am I missing something? Is there any way to get around that problem? I also tried installing a custom rom based on stock (alpha rom) but that didn't work either, any help is appreciated.

well for anyone wondering, I was able to get root and a custom ROM installed. Instead of wiping data like so many guides say to do, I put magisk and the alpha ROM file on an external SD card, skipped decryption in TWRP, mounted the SD card, and installed the ROM and magisk. Didn't have to bother with encryption or anything weird. I made sure to do it after a clean install to minimize any problems that may arise from not wiping. I haven't found a way to do it without an external SD card sadly.

@rusty815, thanks for following up on your own thread with the solution. I just cancelled a purchase for an H918 after reading too late that it won't take the dirtycow root exploit after H91810j, and just bought a US996 instead. I don't know what update the US996 will be on, so if I do end up with US99610n, your post will be very helpful.

Need Help!! LG V20 US99610n

I have that same phone and same firmware. Could you please submit the links for what you used to root your phone?

Please OP be our savior and post how to root the vs996 and install twrp on 10n

"System" deleted, mild softbrick. Best way to fix?

I am no noobie when it comes to android rooting since I root and flash all of my android devices. But the axon 7 is a really tough son of a b*tch.
I got it brand new. Unlocked the bootloader then proceeded to update to marshmallow just so I can get nougat on my device. Then I installed TWRP so I can flash supersu, xposed and an audio mod zip. I believe this audio mod is what killed my devices since it was not booting into the os. Just stuck at the flashy axon booting screen. I booted into TWRP, deleted data, system and system storage and installed the nougat 2,6gb "update.zip" file. Since then the os is not booting at all, its just stuck at the booting screen, the warning because of the unlocked bootloader. And also, now, stock recovery is installed.
I have an idea how to fix this I am rather cautious so thats why Im asking the experts here first
EDIT: I have the 2017G Version

I have an A2017U, but if you can get your hands on an official Marshmallow zip, then that should hopefully let you boot. From there you can OTA update back to Nougat, then you just need to figure out how to install TWRP again.
Another recovery method is to flash EDL files with MiFlash while your phone is booted into EDL mode.
As for audio mods, I just use Arise, it's very comprehensive and has never bricked my phone.
I have an idea why you can't boot after flashing the Nougat zip: you triggered dm-verity. You must also flash a root zip that patches out the dm-verity. Or you can use @jcadduono's "no verity opt encrypt" zip as an alternative if you don't want to root. Your system and cache partitions should be formatted as ext4, and data should be F2FS. I recommend a full wipe of all partitions except the MicroSD.

If you still have TWRP, download Raystef66's B09 TWRP flashable Stocksystem and Bootstack, plus Magisk 15.2. Flash everything then wipe data.
What broke your device was probably Xposed.
Also, which audio mod are you talking about? Ainur, V4Android, V4ARISE, AK4490 patch, maybe some other?

Thanks for the help! i Managed to flash TWRP in EDL mode (black screen). Then I proceeded to flash nougat B9. I was up all night reading about it and searching tutorials how to flash stock from TWRP. I installed Bootstack and System, supersu 2.79 and xposed. First boot did not work but that was actually in the guide so I had to flash system and root again. My data partition is ext4 and everything works good now. I hope it wont make any problems.
The audio mod was "divine 10" or something. I will try the ones you have mentioned.
Thanks for all the help

Xposed usually needs a 2 or 3 minute first boot for some reason, just sayin

OTA install on rooted + TWRP G6

I tried to install the OTA Oreo update and of-course TWRP blocked it, I just rebooted back to system, phone is usable as before.
So is the only way to get the OTA to install to un-root and go back to stock recovery? Would I need to format partitions/lose data during the process? And would I then be able to re-root and TWRP or they are not available for the Oreo yet?
Tried to search for answers, apologize if I missed them.
Thanks

You have TWRP, just flash the V20a zip that's been out for weeks.

How in the world did you miss those countless threads and posts about Oreo update. You can install TWRP on Oreo, root is working as well but you won't be able to mount /data partition in TWRP after first reboot.

Saw many posts about the update but didn't find one related to installing an OTA update on a rooted phone with recovery. I could use the link of such a thread if you have it.

You can install this but factory reset is recommended.

Device WONT root.

Hi there,
i have an LG G6 h870
i root through the ALL IN ONE TOOL (since i can't do it through TWRP cause it needs decryption of internal storage) available HERE
Although flash of supersu goes well and is successful, SuperSU apk says its not rooted...
any idea? (i am new to this so take it slow )

Too continue with the above thread,
I tried rooting with Magisk and this error happens when i push the .zip
Pushing First Zip...
D:\Downloads\Magisk-2aede977(20407).zip: 1 file pushed. 12.4 MB/s (13203844 bytes in 1.016s)

Can't find any solution online

I managed to solve this,
for some reason the .zip from magisk manager didn't work and i had to download the .zip from github official magisk page.
It worked perfectly
(I update this thread in order to help future questions)

Root LG G6
Hi, happy to found your thread! I tried rooting with one click root. And now some tings don't work properly. I will continue rooging in a proper way. What are the makings/conditions to do so? Can I use Magisk without TWRP? My LG G6 is upgraded to Andorid 9 and the latest Version of TWRP for LG G6 is from May 2019, but Android 9 is from December 2019. So i worried if this works. Is it necessary to unlook the bootloader? (i am also new to this and have less expirience)
