Need persist.img - LG G6 Questions and Answers

Hi everybody.
I've been in possession of an European LG G6 (H870) for quite 2 years as of now.
2 days ago i decided to install the unofficial build of lineageOs 17.1. Everything went smoothly with the install but then I realized that all sensors had stopped working. During the last 48 hours I've tried everything I could to fix the problem, spacing to reflashing stock Android Pie, to downgrading etc...
Now I noticed that the persist partition on my device (where the sensors data are stored) is completely empty.
So I'm asking if anyone in possession of root or a custom recovery could upload a copy of his working persist.img in order to flash it on my device.
Thank you all in anticipation for the support.

When you are coming back from Custom ROM to Stock. You need to flash Nougat first. Then you can flash Oreo, Pie or smth else

I've already downgraded to nougat and flashed pie back, but persist is still empty.
So again I'm asking for a working .img, even just to check its content.
The procedure is the following:
In custom recovery or in the terminal if you have root, just type "dd if=/dev/block/sda13 of=/sdcard/persist.img", then pull it via adb or with file explorer.
Thanks again.

[kenzo] No Data on Nougat, TWRP problem ?

Hi guys,
So I have a lot of data problems with Nougat roms (7.0 and 7.1.1).
CM based roms don't work for me, no data at all.
Last week I tried CitrusCaf 3.0 and my data worked a day then disappeared...
So I tried CitrusCaf 2.2 and it worked great until a few hours ago, I rebooted on TWRP didn't flash or do anything then rebooted the system and no data ....
I backed up and tried fix contexts, still no data.
I am on TWRP 3.0.2-2.
Do you think TWRP did something? Is it possible? Can we fix it?
I got the same problem, but only in 7.1.1 roms. If the roms were 7.1.0 or lower, data was working fine. I tried several firmwares and nothing. Only in cm based roms.
I have my problem fixed now. I have flashed a miui rom with miflash via edl(my bootloader was locked), and applied to official bootloader unlock.
I already got the official unlock, and I tried cm 7.1.1 and data works.
So I just need to grab a rom from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/links-direct-official-download-links-t3449488, reboot into edl, flash with Miflash and reboot then fastboot twrp, rom, gapps....
My bootloader is already officialy unlocked.
Well, at least it worked for me. You can try. If your bootloader is unlocked, you don't need to go from edl. You can do it from fastboot. You might need to flash firmware after coming from miui.

installed Oxygen OS 3.5.6 on my OPT with twrp, now twrp is gone after battery died

I installed Oxygen OS 3.5.6 with twrp since I wanted to get everything back to stock. I successfully installed the firmware but could not remove twrp since I can't connect my phone to my pc at the moment. Now after my phone's battery died today I can't access twrp anymore and it seems to be replaced by the stock recovery (which i'm perfectly fine with anyway), just wondering if I can lock the bootloader now and if twrp is completely gone?
Try this thread:

You have to reflash twrp. But a hybrid one I believe ^
That's what happened to me anyway. It's gone, just gotta flash a new one I believe.
I always use stock recovery when flashing stock OOS. OnePlus recommends this.

OnePlus 5 stuck on stock rom after trying brick cant flash anything now

So im trying to root my oneplus 5 and i started off by using Lineage OS but i wasnt too happy with it and i liked Oxygen OS much better so i decided to go back to it and while doing so like an idiot i wiped everything in twrp including the storage with all my ROM files and the phone was bricked and after a long struggle i used the unbrick tool which is called MSM tool which installed oxygen 4.5.8 using some some Qualcomm mode or something and it booted and worked fine but ever since i wasnt able to download the oxygen 5.1.1 update through the phones update section, it reaches 100% and says signature verification failed and goes back to 5%. So i tried downloading the latest Open Beta from the OP site and tried local upgrade which said installation failed so i try installing it locally through the Oxygen Recovery but again Installation failed so i try unlocking the bootloader again and installing it through twrp and it just keeps showing the boot animation forever( i know people say be patient but i waited for 20 mins+). So i decided to use the unbrick tool again and now im stuck on the OOS 4.5.8 unable to update the phone.
I tried to flash the latest oreo through twrp several times and just tried flashing it through so many ways where none worked , even adb sideloading it worked till 47% and said installation failed and everytime this happens i have nothing left to do but use the tool and unbrick it again and this takes so much time as i have to unbrick and then do the first setup and then go to fastboot and unlock the bootloader and do the setup again and transfer the files and then install twrp and flash.
Nothing has worked so far
And now even when i go back to the 4.5.8 stock after unbricking for some reason it just doesnt connect to any wifi , it just says Connecting and then saved and then disabled and repeat, only my mobile data works.
I tried to flash lineage again but got an error 7 with it or something and im back to the stock unbricked state without wifi and all i can do is unlock bootloader and install twrp.
If anybody has any suggestions and can help me please do so immediately. I require my phone urgently and need to fix this fast.
Thank You !
(btw im in India and do local service centres fix such issues?)
Make sure you use newest twrp. And also flash firmware for 5.1.1

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i am using the latest codeworkx twrp 3.2.1 and when should i flash firmware? can you just give the process i should do? stuck at 4.5.8 without wifi with twrp and unlocked bootloader
Wipe everything except internal storage, after that click format data and type "yes" to accept. Then download oos 5.1.0 firmware from here https://sourceforge.net/projects/cheeseburgerdumplings/files/15.1/cheeseburger/firmware/ and lineageos 15 (or any rom you want now), gapps and move all 3 packages to your phone. Flash firmware first and then reboot to recovery. Then flash rom or gapps and reboot
You have to flash the latest TWRP from twrp.me, then download the latest OxygenOS build. Reboot into TWRP, wipe data, cache, system and flash the latest build, then just go to wipe > format data, type "yes" and reboot
Lol man your OP5 is not bricked, if you can boot on TWRP, you can install all that you want
I advise to Format Data/Storage, Wipe everything and install xXx 10.7 (OOS Custom with a great Aroma installer), choose decrypted, it's better if you want swtich rom in the future AOSP > OOS > AOSP
bro i have same probleme after install any rom custom or official , always stuck on boot logo , any solution ?
no solution??

Need help with Moto G5 Plus ROM

I'm on a G5 Plus unlocked retus model XT1687 (I think). I was using Android 8.1 that came with the OTA update and decided to try a custom ROM.
So here is a list of most of my problems/f**kups:
Installed AEX based on 9, It bootlooped.
In the panic (first time messing with ROMs) accidentally deleted my backup.
Used this two guides to get out of the bootloop by fastbooting stock N firmware, it worked.
Flashed AEX again, this time It booted but It wasn't registering the fingerprint reader and I didn't have LTE and after and update It bootlooped again. Fastbooted stock firmware again, this time I had no signal altogether.
Flashed LineageOS based on Android 9, asked for password and then said that data was corrupted.
Formated, not wiped, tried again and this time had signal but no fingerprint, LTE etc.
Followed this instructions and got stock N working perfectly.
Flashed AEX again, no figerprint or LTE.
Re did previous step to get N again.
Flashed LineageOS again, had LTE but still no fingerprint reader.
Flashed stock N for the last time.
So right now I have Android N and can download the 8.1 OTA update but It fails to install. I would like to get LineageOS working or maybe AEX, but I don't really trust It (altough all the problems I had with It were most likely my fault). Or at least get stock 8.1 running again. this seems to be what I need to get stock 8.1 but after all that I did I'm not sure which steps I should follow.
Thanks for any help.
First thing to do after getting signal and LTE working is to make a TWRP back-up of persist and EFS folders.
