Many people seem to be having a lot of trouble flashing recoveries for their Ideos so I figured I would write this thread because I haven't found any other guides for flashing U8150 recoveries.
Method 1
1. Install Terminal Emulator from the market.
2. Install Root Explorer from the market.
3. Download the recovery of your choice and copy the recovery.img to your sd card. (if its not named recovery.img rename it)
4. With Root Explorer, navigate to where the recovery is and copy it to /system/bin/ (remember to select mount as R/W first in order for it to copy.)
5. Open Terminal Emulator and enter the command "su" (without the quotes)
6. After that enter the command "flash_image recovery /system/bin/recovery.img" (again without the quotes)
7. That's it, the recovery has been flashed. Reboot in recovery to confirm.
8. Once you've confirmed the recovery flashed properly remember to delete the recovery.img from /system/bin/ (using root explorer, and mount as R/W)
Method 2
I find this method much easier because you don't have to go through the trouble of installing drivers. Also you don't need to connect your device to your PC. Your device needs to be rooted though. If your device isn't rooted simply download z4root from the market and root it.
1. Download and install ROM Manager from the market.
(If you simply want to flash the latest working ClockworkMod Recovery and not an older version or UltraJack skip to step 6.)
2. Navigate to the folder /clockworkmod/download/mirror.sea.tdrevolution.net/cm/recoveries/ (create the folders if they are not already there)
3. Delete any files in that folder.
4. Download the recovery you want to use from the recovery links below. Unzip the file. Rename the "recovery.img" file to "recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-ideos.img". (See note below)
5. Copy the renamed "recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-ideos.img" into the recoveries folder (/clockworkmod/download/mirror.sea.tdrevolution.net/cm/recoveries/)
6. Open ROM Manager and select Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. It will bring up a list of devices, just scroll down until you find Huawei U8150 Ideos and select it.
7. ROM Manager will flash the recovery image for you and you're done.
Now you have a working recovery. To test select Reboot into Recovery from ROM Manager.
Since you are renaming the recoveries remember to keep track of which recovery is currently in the recoveries folder.
Note: recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-ideos.img is the name of the latest ClockworkMod Recovery in rom manager at this time (28/04/2011). If it is updated and I haven't updated the thread, change the name of the recovery to the latest version.(i.e if the latest recovery is ClockworkMod 3.0.2.5, rename the img to recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.5-ideos.img instead of recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-ideos.img)
Method 3
Installing Drivers
Windows 7:
Download and install PDANet. That should install the drivers for you.
Alternatively, you could download the drivers and install them manually. First download the drivers for your OS from here.
Drivers Windows 32-Bit Mediafire Multiupload
Drivers Windows 64-Bit Mediafire Multiupload
Connect your device(you don't need to turn on USB storage) then open device manager. Right click on your device and select properties, select the hardware tab and then select properties. Select the drivers tab, then select Reinstall/Update Driver. Choose the option (Browse my computer for driver software) and select the drivers you just downloaded. (Extract the zip file first)
MacOS
Download and install PDANet. That should install the drivers for you.
Linux
Follow this guide by bloodychaos to get ADB working.
Flashing Recovery
1. Once you have the drivers installed download the recovery of your choice from the links below.
2. Extract the zip file and open the folder.
3. Turn off your phone.
4. Connect your phone to your PC.
5. Reboot your phone in bootloader mode. (Turn it on while holding the Volume Down button and the End(Red) Key.)
6. Run the install-recovery file/script for your OS found in the extracted recovery folder.
7. Once it flashes your phone should reboot.
N/B If you have trouble with the drivers or any other problems try Method 1.
Now you have a working recovery. To test turn off your phone, then turn it on while holding the Volume Up Key and the Green(Call) Key.

For some reason the ideos does not appear on the list, I have no idea why, you might have to try one of the other methods to flash a recovery.

Thanx for the quick reply, i ended up using method 3.
Just one thing about method 3, the batch file doesn't exist in the ClockworkMod 3.0.2.4 (by marcnvidic) link as it's only an .img file. So i simply downloaded the ClockworkMod 3.0.1.(by udK) zip file, and replaced the image with the newer 3.0.2.4 after unzipping it.
Thank you for the guide, i've successfully flashed clockworkmod, and backed up the phone. now all i have to do is choose a ROM.
which ROM do u suggest???
cheers,

That was the official link from marcnvidic, the multipuload & mediafire mirrors should have the batch files. Anyway, for the rom I would suggest FUSIONideos or Dronix 0.4, there's a poll somewhere on this forum and those are the most popular, Gingerman V4 is also pretty good but I wouldn't suggest it as your first rom because its still relatively new and is still being improved so it isn't perfect as a daily use rom yet. I switch btw fusion & gingerman, but I can tell you fusion is pretty stable. One thing to note however, if you are not using gingerman or another cyanogenmod port, I would suggest using clockworkmod by udK as your recovery, cwm 3.0.2.4 has some issues making backups of other roms.
Mate, I'm loving this
So far i've flashed CM6.1 port, Fusion, and Dronix 0.4! hehe i'm addicted now! Right now i'm back to CM6.1, but will try Gingerman V4 soon
Thanx for your help mate, you're a champion.
EDIT: thought i'd explain why i'm on CM6.1. Reason being is that I even though i think Fusion is the better one so far, I can't seem to have a solid 3G connection.
I'm from Sydney Australia, and with Optus. The APN seems to be correct and all, but the phone keeps switching from 3G to H.
tq for this information...i have done it
thanks !!!!!
I'm having a bit of trouble.
I was trying method 2 and clicked the wrong phone model. I went to change it but found that "Huawei IDEOS U8150" is not listed. Now I cannot access my recovery menu, and cannot install clockwork recovery. How would I fix this? I've been searching for hours and only found ways to remove it via the recovery menu.
Everything is functioning fine so it's not a big problem, I just can't get to the recovery menu/boot loader.
Also, I attempted method 1 because it doesn't involve the use of the recovery menu. It says, "flash_image: not found" when I type the command.
Nevermind, put about another hour into searching. Thank you so much for this guide it helped me alot.
I installed ROM Manager and pressed "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery".
It downloaded some files and flashed the Mod.
(I have my u8150 rooted using SuperOneClick)
Now it shows that my ClockworkMod Recovery version is 3.0.2.4
BUT the problem is that:
1>If I press reboot into recovery, the phone reboots and I end up staring at the IDEOS logo for ... like ever.
2>I pressed Backup Current ROM and after giving it a name (Stock ROM), I pressed OK and again the same result.
3> I found on the internet that to go into the recovery mode I need to press the SEND (green button) and the Volume UP together and then press Power.
I did it, even held the three buttons in the next try... but sadly every time the phone got stuck and I ended up looking at the IDEOS logo.
and the only way to get the phone working again was to take out the battery and press Power. (the phone itself is running fine)
PLz kindly help me out on this.. am I missing something??
Thnx
That means the recovery didn't flash correctly. Are u sure u selected the right phone from the rom manager list. Try flash recovery again. But first u need to delete everything in the clockworkmod/download directory on the sd card. Or if you know how to, just delete the recovery image in that folder.
yes I selected the corret phone i.e. Huawei u8150 Ideos
i deleted everything in the clockworkmod/download directory on the sd card
re-flashed..
still the same problem
btw.. during flashing, twice I got a pop-up asking me to either "force close" or "wait" and I pressed "wait" both times.
P.S. I just noticed after removing the battery that it says the model of my phone is U8150-D. I wonder what the "D" stands for?
It shuld not be force closing. Maybe rom manager has a problem. Try reinstalling it. If that doesn't work I suggest trying one of the other methods to flash the recovery.
ok so ive just tried Method 1 and followed every step... and the funny thing is that when I enter the following command in terminal emulator:
flash_image recovery /system/bin/recovery.img
.. it says
flash_image: not found
lol
now im downloading ultrajack
Update:
Ive tried Method 3:
and for 10 minutes now.. my command prompt is still showing this message:
< waiting for device >
:-(
For method 3 try running the bat file first then when it shows you the waiting for device message turn on the phone in bootloader mode.
just did as you said, i turned off the phone.. ran the bat file, when it said waiting for device I plugged in the phone (battery charging started), then I pressed power while holding Red and Volume Down...
the result is the same..
(the same was the result when running ultrajack)
>im just wondering... do I need to install any kernel or something before doing this??
>also I noticed that the CWM's recovery.img that I got from this forum is 3.94MB, while the one I downloaded through the Rom Manager was 3.71MB (on both tries).
P.S. how do I completely remove CWM and its files? so i can start the process fresh. I read at some forum that there is some file related to this called update.zip... whats that?
(Sorry for being a bother and thnx for your help)
UPDATE !!!
Its done... its finally done. Yattaaaaa!!!
ok so here is is what I did....
>I deleted everything in the clockworkmod folder like you once mentioned before.
>You said that while flashing I shouldn't be getting a pop-up that asks me to either force close or wait.
>So I had a hunch that the popup that appeared during the flashing might have been caused due to the screen timeout set at 30 sec (i mean a clash of two processes)
>So, i set the screen timeout to 30 minutes (hehe) and pressed Flash ClockworkMod Recovery from the Rom Manager.
>It flashed without any pop-ups and it successfully booted into recovery mode (and the first thing I did was to backup my phone)
Once again thnx for your support wachw.
... and if you don't mind can you help me with one more thing (if it's convenient for you)... plz guide me how to install multitouch for my phone provided here (coz nobody at that thread has been generous enough to guide me ;_; )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1014183
[i have downloaded the multitouch patch and the complied kernel, plz guide me on what to do next. thnx ]
Sorry about the delay, been busy, but, if you send me the link to your provider's rom I can make a multitouch version for you. Why don't you want to install a custom rom?
here is the link to my provider's rom:

btw is it really possible to edit the rom and remove the simlock
someone here says so:

I just noticed this thread in the news section it is an app that allows users to switch between recoveries with one click..

Remember the SGS4G recovery is linked to the kernel. Thus making this useless to us currently.
Thought it would be nice to have this feature when flashing from CM7. And going back to regular rom since they use different recoveries

This method successfully installs the CWM on the phone. CWM version supplied by ZOPO does not work. Use the CWM posted in the second link
I am a still learning and not a developer !
Hi All ZOPO ZP900 Leader Owners,
This is a guide for Installing Clock Work Mod Recovery Image on ZOPO ZP900 Leader Phone. Most of the owners of this fantastic phone would have desperately tried like me to install CWM on this phone (some may have found success). ZOPO does gives an option to order the phone pre-rooted however they do not install CWM ....or for that matter there is no Stock Recovery on the phone !!!. Start the phone with Power + Volume Up button pressed and your presented with an image of sick Android lying down with a Red triangle coming out of his opened stomach :laugh:
DONT TRY TO USE ROM MANAGER APP TO INSTALL CWM, THIS WILL ONLY BRICK YOUR PHONE !
So after breaking my head for couple of days, searching the net, downloading stuff I have successfully installed CWM !
So here are the steps !.
What you need
1. ZOPO ZP900 Leader phone
2. Download Fully working English CWM from here http://www.4shared.com/file/16vuWyiU/recovery.html. The one posted in Zopo website does not work.

Installation Steps
1. Unzip and Install the USB drivers on your Windows PC using the MTK 6577 Driver Zip file. There will be 3 folders named First Step, Second Step & Third Step. Open First Step install the MTK driver MSI file. Post completion open Second Step, click on ClickInstall Driver, it will automatically install the USB driver. Press Exit after installation (Win 7 may give error that installation was incorrect, just ignore)
Repeat the same for folder Third Step
Connect your phone switched off and battery removed using USB cable. Windows will recognize and install the MTK drivers for your phone (any free COM ports) will be configured. Disconnect the phone. Put the battery back but do not switch on the phone
2.Extract the latest ROM folder from downloaded ICS ROM. You will get 2 folders
database
MP_MT77_h958_zp900_zwx_ics_20120912-155136_TSZ_PC
Open the second folder (MP_MT77***). This is the folder that has all the image files. You will find recovery.img file. This is original file. You can either rename it or keep a back up and delete it.
3. Copy the new CWM recovery.img file that you downloaded from ZOPO website in this folder. Rename it to be recovery.img
4. Extract and run SP flash Tool.exe (the one with Blue image icon)
5.Click on Options, USB Mode will be checked, DA Download All will be checked, in the sub options Speed will be Checked High Speed, Battery select With Battery. Come to the main Application window
6. Click on Scatter-loading button which is on the right side below Downloading Agent. A window will open. Browse to your extracted ICS ROM folder, click on folder MP_MT77****. By default you will have only one map file of name MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc. Select this
7. The flash tool will populate the Map file on the application window. You will see multiple Entries such as
PRELOADER
DSP_BL
MBR
etc etc. Each will have a check box which is by default checked.
8. UNCHECK all entries EXCEPT FOR "RECOVERY". Leave Recovery checked.
9. Now click on "Download" on the Application or press F9 on keyboard. A warning message will pop up. Press YES
10. You will see in the status bar below "Searching"
11. Connect your phone (switched off and with battery inserted) via the USB cable.
12. Flash tool will do its stuff. First a red progress bar, then a count down, a quick yellow progress bar and final window showing Green Circle.
If you get this the Congrats You have flashed CWM !
Check by unplugging the phone and re-starting it with Power+Volume Up button Pressed. The Phone will boot into CWM !.
Enjoy !
Warning - Please follow the instructions. Don't mess around with anything else. Not responsible if you do anything else and brick your device !
In case you get any other error on SP Flash Tool, then recheck your MTK driver installation. Try on another PC.
Now I hope this opens the door for many other things !
Additional Info -
Install PDAnet from here http://www.junefabrics.com/android/download.php or Snappea from www.snappea.com to make your device get recognized when connected to the computer. Install this with your phone switched on, this software installs the necessary drivers for the phone, post which you can use flash tool.

Check your device drivers USB driver has not been installed properly. I faced this issue and after multiple attempts of reinstall of USB drivers the flash tool started working properly
Also you can try installing PDAnet from here http://www.junefabrics.com/android/download.php
Install this with your phone switched on, this software installs the necessary drivers for the phone, post which you can use flash tool.
Note Connect the phone to flash tool first without battery, in options select with battery, press download after selecting the required file, when it says searching unplug the phone put battery back, dont switch on, plus back the usb. The flash tool should load the required file.

It will flash the entire ROM again. My guide was specifically for flashing only the CWM and not the entire ROM. I wanted to keep the Stock rom intact as it came from ZOPO.
Word of caution, I am yet top try flashing the complete ROM so if you are trying ensure that your have taken a backup via CWM (if already flashed) of your existing full working ROM before attempting anything. Also flash only ZOPO Stock or customised ROMs,
From where did you bought this mobile?
Does the imei start from 355,889,3535
Is it ips 1gb ram .

Make sure you removed the battery long enough from your phone.
You may also have to reboot your pc a couple of times.

Hello bhargav1991, i got some questions:
1. I've buy zp900 but it will arrive next week. In the video you posted there is a guide how to flash the official Zopo z900 latest stock ROM but in this way you get the latest rom + root but no ClockWorkMod Recovery installed ?¿¿
2. My intention as i done with my old..HTC Desire HD is flashing ClockWorkMod Recovery and install the latest Zp 900 stock ROM + ROOT. So following the 1st post and once all steps are done one by one, will I get the same rom that come installed ?¿ but non root ?¿
I need to download the latest ZOPO ROM .zip and then install it from ClockWorkMod and finally i will get the latest ROM + ROOT ¿?
Could you please help me
Thank you so much in advance guys ¡¡
:good:
Before we start this post, I just wanted to say that I am new here (like today new) and XDA does not have this device listed in their website at all so I did not know where else to post this rather than the General Discussion, I do apologize for this annoyance and please forgive me. One last thing, I am not the developer of this, I am only the poster person........guy...... ;-; ....... the person who developed this custom recovery is @lopestom!! Please give him the credit he derserves, not me!! With this being said, let us move onto the post now!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE NOR IS THE DEVELOPER FOR ANY DAMAGE YOU CAUSE TO YOUR DEVICE!!*
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Greetings XDA Community and Blu Users!
Today I am Sharing this Custom Recovery that was made by @lopestom for the Blu Advance 5.0
Now before we get into this you will need to do the following first for the recovery to install.
You will need to install the MTK VCOM Drivers and the SP Flash Tool.
-How to install MTK VCOM Drivers for Windows 8: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2693906
-How to install MTK VCOM Drivers for Windows 10 64-bit/32-bit: https://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-m2/help/windows-10-mtk-vcom-usb-drivers-32-64-t3267033
-Installation for SP Flash Tool: https://androidmtk.com/smart-phone-flash-tool
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now once you get this done, you will want to install the custom recovery files for which I am providing to you Blu Advance 5.0 Users from [B @lopestom[/B]. (download link at the very bottom)
Once you install the zip, follow these simple steps and you will have the recovery installed in no time!
1. Download zip file and then unzip to then where you will see two files: *recovery img and scatter file*
2. Open SPFT, and load the scatter file from that folder unzipped
3. Click the Download Tab, and edit the settings as follows:
A. Make sure 'Download Only' is selected
B. Only Recovery Partition box is checked
C. Make sure correct scatter is loaded
4. Double click in 'Location' field next to recovery partition and select recovery.img
5. Click "Download" Button
6. Power off phone
7. With "Download" button clicked in SPFT, connect phone to USB without powering on (VCOM DRIVERS MUST BE INSTALLED FOR THIS TO WORK)
8. Wait for SPFT to flash, popup with green check-mark will display when complete
9. Disconnect phone from USB, hold power + volume-up keys until boot into TWRP Recovery
10. Done!
11. You have successfully installed this custom recovery for your Blu Advance 5.0!!
As a perk, you can now root your device if you have not already with Super Su: https://download.chainfire.eu/964/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328.zip?retrieve_file=1

When is TWRP installed?
Sorry, as a noob, I have no idea at what point TWRP needs to be installed, if at all. Andvance 5.0 isn't on the list in the official TWRP app, so installling that from Google Play Store doesn't help. Do I get blutwrp.img -and how do I install it? Do I flash twrp, too, or install it another way ? Should twrp come up automatically here? I'm totally confused with this guide.

This post looks pretty new. So I thought I'd drop by just in case you never figured out how to install TWRP. At the bottom of the guide there is this:

That download URL is TWRP. If I were to guess, the download is an unofficial port of TWRP. Since TWRP doesn't have an official build for BLU Advance 5.0, you have to use the file provided by OP (I am not aware of any other unofficial ports of TWRP specifically for BLU Advance 5.0).
It has been a while since I rooted the BLU Advance 5.0 for my friend, but I believe it is not possible to directly flash a custom recovery onto the device. That's why you need to install SPFT which was also generously provided by OP:

After you have installed the proper drivers for your computer and SPFT, you are all set to follow the steps OP provided. Any instance where it says "zip file" he is referring to the zip file you should have downloaded from androidfilehost.com (first link I quoted from OP).
As long as you know that, here are the steps 1 - 11 you should follow:

I may be misreading this sentence, but incase I am not, I'll explain. The primary reason people install a custom recovery is so they can root their phones. In the case of BLU Advance 5.0, that phone only has an internal storage of 4GB, which I have recently learned is apparently taken up entirely by Messenger itself (if you download Facebook Messenger). What's the point of having a smartphone if you can't install apps on it? There is an app called Link2SD which can trick the phone into believing the external SD card space is internal (more or less). Link2SD needs root though.
After installing TWRP, now is when you can flash things the way I imagine you're moderately familiar with from your comment. The only thing you should need to flash via this method should be SuperSU, to give you the root privilege necessary for Link2SD. OP has also provided this:

If you followed all the steps properly, you should be able to power down your device, and boot into TWRP by holding the Power and Volume Up buttons until you see the white BLU boot screen. From there, you can flash SuperSU.
Hope this helped clear some things up for you!

While this helps, I've been doing this for months now... And now I am faced with the problem of the new OTA they just gave me, which blocks any and all root access that I had before. Now my problem is figuring out if I need to re-flash the previous version to my firmware or unlock the bootloader and just install a custom ROM, given that a universal ROM is compatible.
A way to unbrick?
So, I have one and bricked it when flashing a recovery I found when I searched blue advance 5.0 custom recovery on google
when I searched, I used the one I found at the blueroms dot info site
it is now in a boot loop, and I can't access anything except the menu between booting factory mode and recovery
is there a way I can fix it, and flash this?
Thanks!
Thanks for not only the instructions, but for accepting the possibility that I may have figured it out myself.
As a regular linux user, I'm not sure why the xda comunity depends on: SP Flash Tool, MTK VCOM Drivers for Windows and MTK VCOM Drivers for Windows 10 64-bit/32-bit. Especially at this point shouldn't there be some tools from Chrome OS? if not Linux itself? Sorry that's kind of off point, but your help is indeed appreciated.
Trying to Root
Hello everyone, I have been desperately trying to root a Blu Advance 5.0 HD that i just got. It runs Android Version 6.0 Kernal 3.18.19 Custom build BLU_A050U_V04_GENERIC 19-09-2016\
So The farthest i got was clicking download and plugging in the phone. It gives me an error and suggests i Format+download. Doing that semi bricks my phone and i have to flash a oem firmware. I even tried using the oem files and just replacing the recovery which did the trick in making it run, but did not install twrp. What am i doing wrong, Id rather not return the phone but i may if i cannot root it.
Thanks anyone who can assist me!
Nothing happened
Greetings,
I was able to install drivers on the PC and flash the recovery through SPFT and directly from fastboot but it didn't work. Although both methods gave me OK, when I boot into recovery I still get the stock recovery 3e version of the BLU. So, is there something that I'm missing?
STEP BY STEP GUIDE FOR LG V20 H918 UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER, DOWNGRADING, ROOTING AND INSTALLING CUSTOM ROMS (NOOB FRIENDLY)
DISCLAIMER: I'M NOT THE DEVELOPER OF ANY OF THE BELOW SOFTWARE'S AND YOU PROCEED WITH YOUR OWN RISK AS THIS INVOLVES BRICKING OR DAMAGING YOUR MOBILE IF THE PROCEDURE IS NOT FOLLOWED CORRECTLY. I'M JUST SHARING THE WHOLE PROCESS WHICH I HAVE FOLLOWED TO ROOT AND INSTALL TWRP IN MY LGV20 H918 UNLOCKED T MOBILE.
AND I HAVE TESTED THIS IN MY OWN DEVICE AND WAS ABLE TO ROOT AND ACHIEVE TWRP.
THIS IS ONLY FOR LGV20 H918 VERSION
ENSURE INTERNET IS UP AND RUNNING IN YOUR PC
EDIT: THE WHOLE PROCESS HAS NOW BEEN AUTOMATED IN TWO SIMPLE STEPS TO PREVENT ANY POTENTIAL DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE. THANKS TO THE LAFSPLOIT CREATOR BRIAN @runningnak3d.
JUST FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE BELOW AND YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR DEVICE ROOTED IN NO TIME
1. BACKUP ALL YOUR IMPORTANT DATA BEFORE PROCEEDING.
2.MAKE SURE YOU HAVE CHARGED YOUR PHONE TO AT LEAST 90 PERCENT
CHECK YOUR PHONE SOFTWARE VERSION IN SETTINGS---ABOUT PHONE----SOFTWARE INFO
IF IT IS ANYTHING BETWEEN H91810P TO H91810U MEANS IT IS ARB1 (ANTI ROLL BACK 1) AND YOU NEED TO USE LAFSPLOIT METHOD TO ROOT AND INSTALL TWRP,
IF YOUR VERSION IS H91810O OR BELOW (ARB0), YOU CAN EITHER USE DIRTYCOW OR LAFSPLOIT METHOD FOR THE SAME.
IF YOU ARE ON ARB1, PLEASE FOLLOW THE METHOD BELOW,
PART 1: DOWNGRADING
IF YOUR VERSION IS H91810 (Q, R, S, T, U) YOU NEED TO DOWNGRADE TO A LOWER VERSION ( H91810P) TO EXECUTE LAFSPLOIT.
IF YOU ARE ALREADY ON H91810P, YOU STILL NEED TO RE FLASH THE H91810P KDZ AGAIN FOR THE LAFSPLOIT SCRIPT TO WORK CORRECTLY.
DOWNLOAD H91810P KDZ FILE FROM BELOW
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=282709
DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL ALL THE FILES BELOW IN YOUR PC
UPPERCUT AND LGUP----
http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/Flash_Tools/LGUP/
LG DRIVERS---
http://tool.cdn.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=UW00120120425
CONNECT YOUR MOBILE TO YOUR PC IN DOWNLOAD MODE (SWITCH OFF YOUR MOBILE AND CONNECT THE USB FROM PC WHILE HOLDING THE VOLUME UP BUTTON SIMULTANEOUSLY)
RUN UPPERCUT.EXE WHICH WOULD OPEN LG'S UPDATER TOOL AUTOMATICALLY.
INSIDE THE LG UPDATER TOOL, CLICK ON BIN AND SELECT THE H91810P KDZ FILE DOWNLOADED EARLIER.
NOW SELECT UPGRADE AND FLASH
ENSURE THE USB CABLE IS CONNECTED THROUGH THE FLASHING PROCESS AND WAIT FOR YOUR PHONE TO REBOOT AND THEN REMOVE THE USB CABLE.
CHECK THE SOFTWARE VERSION AND ENSURE IT IS H91810P
PART 2: UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER
HEAD TO SETTINGS---ABOUT PHONE----SOFTWARE INFO (ENSURE IT IS H91810P)
ENABLE DEVELOPER OPTION IN YOUR PHONE BY CLICKING ON THE BUILD NUMBER MULTIPLE TIMES
NOW HEAD TO SETTINGS---DEVELOPER OPTIONS
TURN ON OEM UNLOCKING, ENABLE USB DEBUGGING AND DISABLE 'VERIFY APPS OVER USB'
NOW CONNECT YOUR PHONE TO PC AND OPEN ADB COMMAND CENTER PROMPT IN YOUR PC
adb devices---->CHECK IF YOUR MOBILE IS CORRECTLY RECOGNIZED IN ADB
adb reboot bootloader--->THIS REBOOTS YOUR DEVICE IN FASTBOOT MODE
fastboot devices---->CHECK IF YOUR MOBILE IS CORRECTLY RECOGNIZED IN FASTBOOT
fastboot oem unlock---->THIS COMMAND WOULD UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER AND RESET's YOUR DEVICE.
fastboot oem device-info OR fastboot getvar unlocked ----->THIS WOULD CONFIRM IF YOUR BOOTLOADER HAS BEEN UNLOCKED OR NOT.
fastboot reboot-----> THIS WOULD REBOOT YOUR DEVICE
IF THE BOOTLOADER HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY UNLOCKED, THE DEVICE WILL SHOW AN UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER WARNING MESSAGE WHILE BOOTING (THIS CAN BE IGNORED OF COURSE)
PART 3: CREATING A BOOTABLE LINUX USB USING FWUL
DOWNLOAD FWUL_v2.7_x86_64_15GB.zip FROM THE LINK BELOW AND EXTRACT THE IMAGE FILE SOMEWHERE IN YOUR PC.
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=214529
DOWNLOAD RUFUS FROM BELOW AND INSTALL
https://rufus.akeo.ie/
INSERT A PEN DRIVE IN YOUR PC AND RUN RUFUS.
INSIDE RUFUS SELECT THE IMAGE FILE AND SELECT START (AFTER SELECTING START SELECT DD MODE IN THE DIALOGUE BOX) TO CREATE A BOOTABLE PEN DRIVE (WARNING: THIS WOULD FORMAT YOUR PEN DRIVE)
NOW YOU SHOULD BOOT YOUR PC FROM THE BOOTABLE USB STICK WHICH YOU HAVE JUST CREATED
THIS WOULD MAKE YOUR PC RUN LINUX OS
TYPE PASSWORD AS linux AND ENTER
PART 4: INSTALLING TWRP AND ROOTING USING LAFSPLOIT
BEFORE PROCEEDING ENSURE YOU BOOT YOUR PHONE AND DONE ALL THE BASIC SETTINGS
NOW HEAD TO THE DEVELOPER OPTIONS IN YOUR DEVICE AND ENSURE OEM UNLOCKING AND USB DEBUGGING ARE SWITCHED ON.
NOW CONNECT YOUR DEVICE TO THE PC (RUNNING LINUX OS FROM PENDRIVE) IN DOWNLOAD MODE (SWITCH OFF YOUR MOBILE AND CONNECT THE USB FROM PC WHILE HOLDING THE VOLUME UP BUTTON SIMULTANEOUSLY)
DOUBLE CLICK ON THE LG FOLDER INSIDE FWUL DESKTOP
INSIDE THAT, DOUBLE CLICK ON LGLAF(RUNNINGNAK3D) ICON WHICH WILL OPEN A TERMINAL
ENTER THE BELOW COMMANDS
git pull
git checkout h918-miscwrte
./step1.sh
THE ABOVE COMMAND FLASHES TWRP RECOVERY ONTO YOUR DEVICE.
WAIT AND PULL OUT YOUR DEVICE WHEN IT ASKS TO.
RECOMMENDED: NOW THAT TWRP HAS SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED, YOU CAN MANUALLY FORMAT,FLASH LATEST TWRP RECOVERY AND USE ANY METHOD LIKE MAGISK OR SU FOR ROOTING.
INSIDE TWRP RECOVERY. FIRST FORMAT USING WIPE--ADVANCED FORMAT--TYPE yes AND FULL DO A FULL FORMAT, THEN FLASH MAGISK AND THE LATEST TWRP RECOVERY BELOW.
MAGISK ZIP DOWNLOAD:
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v16.0/Magisk-v16.0.zip
LATEST TWRP BY PHOENIX(H918):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3720239
OR
IF YOU ARE UNSURE ABOUT FORMATTING AND FLASHING, JUST USE THE BELOW COMMAND TO DO ALL THE WORK AUTOMATICALLY
CONNECT YOUR DEVICE AGAIN IN DOWNLOAD MODE AND ENTER THE FOLLOWING COMMAND
./step2.sh
THE ABOVE COMMAND FORMATS YOUR DEVICE AND FLASHES MAGISK TO ACQUIRE ROOT.
TIP : IF YOU FACE ANY ENCRYPTION ERROR AFTER USING STEP2. SH, DO A ADVANCED FORMAT WITHIN TWRP AND FLASH MAGISK AND LATEST TWRP BY PHOENIX MANUALLY.
YOU ARE NOW ROOTED WITH TWRP RECOVERY INSTALLED.
REMEMBER TO BACK UP THE CURRENT ROM BEFORE FLASHING ANYTHING..... DO CHECK POST #2 FOR OTHER TWEAKS
IF YOU WISH TO UPDATE TO LATEST STOCK (10U) AND KEEP ROOT AND TWRP, JUST FOLLOW THIS LINK AND DO REMEMBER TO ROOT USING MAGISK AFTER FLASHING THE ROM BEFORE YOU BOOT.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/rom-h91810q-stock-rom-twrp-flashable-zip-t3681312
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL THE DEVOLEPERS WHO HAVE CREATED THE ABOVE SOFTWARES WITHOUT WHICH THIS ISNT POSSIBLE.
CREDITS:
@autoprime FOR HIS UPPERCUT TOOL
@steadfasterX FOR HIS FWUL TOOL
@Phoenix591 FOR HIS WORKS ON TWRP RECOVERY
AND FINALLY, @runningnak3d FOR HIS EXCELLENT WORK IN ROOTING OUR DEVICE :good:
WHAT NEXT?
NOW THAT YOU HAVE ROOTED YOUR MOBILE, I WOULD RECOMMEND DOING THE BELOW TWEAKS FOR FURTHER ENHANCED EXPERIENCE....
1.THERMAL THROTTLING
IF YOUR ARE STILL ON A STOCK BASED ROM , I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND TO RECONFIGURE YOUR THERMAL FILE TO PREVENT ANY POSSIBLE LAG WHEN USING EXTENSIVELY...
FIRST DOWNLOAD THE FILE BELOW:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0W3xXHgfOxvLUpKNWhrWDE0TDg/view
USE A ROOT EXPLORER (PREFERABLY ES EXPLORER) AND GO TO ROOT/SYSTEM/ETC.
YOU SHOULD HAVE A FILE NAMED thermal-engine-8996.conf
RENAME IT TO thermal-engine-8996.conf.bak (JUST FOR A BACKUP IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG)
ENSURE THE ABOVE DOWNLOADED FILE IS IN .conf FORMAT
IF IT ISN'T , RENAME TO thermal-engine-8996.conf
NOW SAVE THE FILE TO THE SAME DIRECTORY VIZ ROOT/SYSTEM/ETC
GIVE PERMISSION TO THIS FILE TO rw-r--r-- USING THE ROOT EXPLORER ( SELECT FILE--->PERMISSION--->READ WRITE, READ, READ)
FINALLY SAVE AND REBOOT.
THIS WOULD OVERWRITE THE THERMAL LINKED PERFORMANCE OF THE CPU TO AVOID ANY LAG WHEN USING EXTENSIVELY.
2. RCTD REMOVER
ALSO I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND TO REMOVE THE LG'S RCTD CCMD AND TRITON MONITORS AS THESE WOULD RUN CONTINUOUSLY IN A ROOTED LG PHONE AND CONSUME LOT OF RESOURCES...
JUST INSTALL THE RCTD REMOVER APP FROM BELOW LINK:
https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.zacharee1.rctdremoverforlg
GRANT SU PERMISSION AND CHECK THE DESIRED FILES (I CHOSE ALL THREE FILES) AND CLICK ON PATCH, FLASH IMAGE AND REBOOT (THIS WOULD PATCH THE BOOT FILE, SO AGAIN IT IS ADVISABLE TO CREATE A BACKUP OF THE CURRENT BOOT IMAGE USING TWRP OR WITHIN THIS APP ITSELF)
3. SCREEN CALIBRATION:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grarak.kerneladiutor
INSTALL KERNAL AUDITOR APP FROM PLAY STORE AND GRANT SU ACCESS
CHANGE THE BELOW VALUES WITHIN THIS APP (SCREEN SETTINGS)
Minimum RGB value = 35
Saturation Intensity = 27
Screen Hue = 1520
Screen Value = 112
Screen Contrast = 132
THIS WOULD SOMEWHAT REDUCE THE BLUE TINGE AND GHOST APPEARANCES OF THE SCREEN
CREDITS: @Holyman007 for his thermal tweak @Zacharee1 for his rctd remover app
I was just about to create a post asking for a step by step for dummies so thank you very much for this! Going to do this sometime tomorrow or Tuesday and will update if I succeed or not. :good:
Got a question. Does this method stop the second screen from working?

this would end up with a stock rooted phone with twrp recovery if all the methods are correctly followed..
......final result would be.... you would end up with a rooted stock rom with a twrp recovery....
your second screen will work perfectly.....
please let me know if you need a different thread for installing custom rom, and to reduce the lag., install sound mod to get maximum sound output and customize second screen... i will create a noob friendly thread for these as well......

Thank you, I've been reading up on the main lafsploit thread for awhile but I was still not sure about the whole flashing KDZ file and stuff so when you posted this thread it was a motivator to try it out. Got a day off from work tomorrow so gonna try it then so I don't got to worry about the time.
I'm interested in the max sound output and second screen customization if you got the time and its not to much to ask. If you want to wait till either someone else comes along thats interested or till I root just so you don't waste your time I shall update hopefully sometime tomorrow. Thanks again.

Excellent. Just a friendly suggestion, however. I would change the instruction above to use the word EXACT instead of SIMILAR, otherwise people may continue erroneously. The hash numbers must be exact.

Abr1 yes I am rooted with twrp.
As I said, the commands to push magisk and twrp to sd did not work. I used usb otg in twrp to push magisk, but forgot to put twrp to flash as well.
I forgot that twrp had replaced download mode, so I was going a bit nuts trying to figure out how to get twrp to recovery. Lolol
Now I'm on latest update with rtcd removed thanks to the op who hosted it on xda as a flashable zip.
Hi guys, sadly I'm at the last step and got stuck.
I did everything, and managed to get to the part where you WIPE de data using TWRP, Mount, but when I go and type
adb push Magisk...
adb push h18...
I get an error saying that Cannot stat : No such file or directory
I'm unable to figure out what I'm doing wrong
Any idea?

As you are in twrp, you can manually flash magisk zip and twrp recovery.....

While you are in the last step, in mount, select otg USB. You can push it to SD card and manual flash.
If you booted to system without magisk and flashing twrp, power off the phone, hold volume up, put in the USB, connect to PC. This will put you in twrp since download mode is replaced by twrp.
Now you can flash both files.
