[Recovery][H850] Team Win Recovery Project for the LG G5 - LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme

Team Win Recovery Project 3.0.3-0
WARNING: The stock boot image has dm-verity, which prevents you from booting if you swipe to enable system modifications!
SOLUTION: Flash a root such as SuperSU or phh-superuser. You can also flash no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip.
A message to those with other variants of the G5:
The H850 International variant is the only one with an official bootloader unlock from LG.
Should there be a time where your flashing mechanisms get cracked, simply mention my name on this thread or via private message and I would be happy to create a thread with TWRP for your device.
I have device trees ready for ALL variants of the G5, pending their unlock!
WHAT IS TWRP?
Oh come on, you know what it is - don't try to fool me!
In case you're serious, though...
Team Win Recovery Project is a custom recovery for Android devices.
It allows you to back up and restore your data, flash custom ROMs to your device, repair broken file systems, and root your device.
DOWNLOAD
You can find the device page here:
https://twrp.me/devices/lgg5h850.html
FULL STEPS FOR OBTAINING ROOT
Follow LG's bootloader unlocking instructions here before you begin!

}
Download the latest TWRP .img for your device from this thread or twrp.me.
Use the same fastboot tool you downloaded in the LG unlock instructions to flash TWRP using the command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-x.x.x-x-h850.img
* Replace x.x.x-x with the actual version you are flashing!
Now you can either power off your phone and boot into recovery using the button combo [Volume Down] + [Power], or you can run this command in fastboot:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-x.x.x-x-h850.img
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.
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].
Please consider backing up your stock boot partition in TWRP before proceeding to the next steps!
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.
Go to [Reboot] -> [System].
Wait 2-5 minutes for your device to finish setting itself up.
* MTP, known as Media Transfer Protocol, is the same way you transfer files from your PC to your device when booted into system.

Is the Sprint variant H850? I don't think so. You need to have an unlocked bootloader which has currently only become available this morning for the H850 European variant.
Thanks for this! Time to go buy my G5 now (Australia's a bit behind the times, only became available yesterday lol)

Here we are!

Same problem here.

Following instructions found here
For TWRP to "stick" you must first boot directly into TWRP and not back into Android, until after flashing the SuperSU zip.
After flashing TWRP unplug the USB cable and pull the battery. Plug battery back in then boot into recovery which should hopefully load TWRP.
To boot into recovery:
a. Using 2 hands.. use one hand/finger to press/hold volume down.. and use the other hand for the power button. Press n hold both buttons.
b. As soon as you see the LG logo on the screen.. let go of the power button then quickly press it again (never letting go of volume down).
c. Keep holding until you see the Factory Reset screen. Click thru the factory reset screens.. Yes.. Yes...
10. You will not be able to decrypt your internal data while in TWRP but you can manually mount your external SD card to view the SuperSu zip. Feel free to back up first.. but otherwise.. time to install SuperSu. Click the Install button and navigate to the external_sd, select the SuperSu zip then swipe to install. Now you're rooted and TWRP'd! Reboot into system...

Just followed the instructions here to the letter. Didn't do anything different. Only thing I can think of is that I let the phone boot fully after unlocking and then installed twrp after that. Not even sure if that can affect anthing

Recovery hangs at TWRP splash screen.
My PC sees Recovery ADB device connected (in Device Manager), but ADB program doesn't see any device, so I can't get logs.

I think you are the first user with working twrp. 99.9% of all other user dit not work.

If that was the reason behind it working, i cant imagine there is away to do that once the device is unlocked and how long did it take to get into TWRP

Works perfectly for me. Flashed TWRP, flashed SuperSU, then finally flashed V4A and it's all working perfectly.

me176c(same intel Bay Trail Z3745 and simular spec) has firmware in asus website, but me181c don't. so, i cannot do anything
I don't know if the OP fixed his boot issue, but I wanted to post my experience with this tablet. I tried to root using RootZenFone 1.4.2 and it failed. Found a newer version 1.4.5r so I uninstalled 1.4.2. Then disaster struck. Now, keep in mind, I copy my downloads to my SD card and delete them from the device in case I need the files again or I brick the device and have to return it.
I went ahead a rebooted and ended up with the No Command and the dead Android. Holding the Volume Up while pressing power put me into fastboot, so I tried to do a recovery from there. No dice, same No Command. I tried simply powering off and tried again. Still either No Command or just Fastboot. While in fastboot, I tried to use Kango to root (Hoping it'd fix whatever damage RootZenFone did) and kept getting NeedADB errors. Obviously I couldn't turn on USB debugging.
Then, I decided one last ditch effort before I took the tablet back to best buy (Technically I hadn't voided the warranty since it never did root and attempting to root would be virtually impossible to detect since no files were left on the device - they're on my SD card). I powered off the tablet. While the tablet was still plugged into my PC, I held BOTH the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons and then pressed power. I got the typical ASUS logo, which I was getting before the No Command and Fastboot, but this time the tablet just sat there at that logo. I let it be for a few minutes while I took the dogs out. Maybe about 10 minuted. Suddenly, I heard the new device sound from my PC. it was installing the MTP driver! Looking at the tablet, it now had the Intel Inside logo (That I did not get while I was having boot issues) and about 45 seconds later the tablet is booted normally.
So, for what it's worth, I'd say hold both volume buttons as you power it on and see what happens.
Stock ROMs and Kernel Source for ME181C
Looks like we now have Stock ROMs and kernel source for ME181C on asus dot com at;
/uk/Tablets/ASUS_MeMO_Pad_8_ME181C/HelpDesk_download/
I have model K011, which I think is ME181C.
needing help
First, i would like to say sorry i am not sure how i would post under the correct area. Just saw the reply so figured i would write here.
I have been doing research on how to fix my Trio Stealth-10 ( thought it was a 10.1 but now not sure) MST10-21. 16 gb.
I have done all the factory resets and erasing data and what not under the boot load (not sure if thats what it was called) but the one where i hold down the power button and the vol - did all that i can get my tablet to connect and do all i need it to but now it isnt downloading any aps under google play or updating them so i just have a factory tablet that i cannot add anything on. sometimes will seem like it tried to down load and will just say no internal storage or memory something like that has not said anything lately since i have tried today.
please break things down barney style for me as well i can do comp stuff sometimes but i will say all of you on this site are much smarter then me thanks for the help guys
oh if i can have someone tell me where to actually post this would be awesome
Asus ME181C k011 Bootloop Fix
I bit the bullet today and put this thing in a bootloop to test a restore method. Happy to say it worked. Here we go:
1. https://cloud.mail.ru/public/2b47381cb37c/ADB.rar - This contains adb and fastboot if you don't already have them installed. This also contains the system image that we're going to use temporarily to get this thing restored.
2. Hook it up to your computer and load up Fastboot on the tablet (Volume+ and Power while booting. Let go of power after the logo shows up).
3. Flash the System image ( fastboot flash system system.img) followed by the boot image (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
4. Reboot.
5. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95857557620392052 - Next, we're going to use a temp version of CWM-Recovery to reinstall firmware. Enable USB debugging, run launcher.bat, type "ACCEPT" and choose T3.
6. You'll auto reboot into CWM-Recovery. Grab the official firmware from the Asus site and install the zip from SD. Once complete, you'll need to reroot the device most likely. If you have a SuperSU zip, install it after you've restored the system.
You're done. This also opens us up for just about anything. Go play with your system. As long as you don't mess up your boot loader, this should save you.
Thanks so much RemmyLee
i just wanted to join and say thanks to RemmyLee.
i rooted my me181c and deleted a whole bunch of stuff i shouldn't.
i could get in to recovery but after that "No Command" screen it wouldn't do a thing. i followed RemmyLee's instructions up to step 4 and then did a reboot as told. Whereupon it found the extracted UL-K011-WW-3.1.23.172-user.zip on the root of my SD card and asked me to do an update which succeeded.
Thanks RemmyLee !

Please help! I did exactly as you said, but when I get into CWM and choose the file from my sdcard, it comes back and says:
Code:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Installation aborted.
And goes straight back to the menu. No error messages or anything.
There is another zip file inside UL-K011-WW-3_1_23_172.zip.
1) Extract UL-K011-WW-3_1_23_172.zip
2) Rename UL-K011-WW-3.1.23.172-user.zip to user.zip.
Then follow Tethered CWM recovery steps.

Wow... I can't believe people are still doing this... But never fear, it isn't difficult to fix, nothing is permanently damaged.
You didn't flash it as systemless, just reflash in systemless manually... assuming you are using SuperSU 2.78 and not a beta release
Reboot into TWRP, allow system changes... if your not prompted, in TWRP go to Mounts and make sure Mount System Read-Only is NOT checked, then from the main menu go to Advanced - Terminal and enter:
echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu (exactly as entered, only space is between echo and SYSTEMLESS)
then exit back to main menu and flash SuperSU again, note it will state specifically in the recovery log output that it is doing a system-less install and cleaning up old installation.
If you need more help, look at the link in my sig about rooting the Moto G 2015.
Fine! Now it's rooted thank you very much!

This is NOT the same problem... Your device is hard bricked if all you get is the flashing light in the corner, very different issue. I am not familiar enough with the G4 to know if there is a fix for it or not, but there is a dedicated forum here for the G4 and I am sure they could help you but they are going to need more information like how did you root, what files you used, bootloader status, for it appears in Device Manager or lsusb when in the bootloader, etc...

You should flash the latest SuperSU or magisk. The older ones install to /system, making the phone unbootable.

[Rom][SPR_CRE7_V6_Bootloader][Stock_Oreo_Hybrid][Safestrap_Preinstalled]

This Is For Sprint S7 Edge Only.
This Is Not A Root Method For Oreo. There Currently Is No Root Method For Oreo
You Do Not Need To Be Rooted To Install This Rom
You Must Be On Stock CRE7 Sprint Oreo Firmware Before Starting
This Takes Some Patience To Install​
What Is Safestrap
Safestrap is a Bootstrap / Recovery for locked bootloader phones. Safestrap is now based on TWRP Recovery (a touch based recovery) and you can perform .zip installs, backups and restores here.

This needs tested as I have no way of test V6 Bootloaders
If your already on OREO then then the google drive mirror is working for the ODIN_ADB_G935_CRE7_BL_V6.zip if someone wants to test for me
I don't know if I want to try this because I really didn't like safestrap on Verizon on the s5

Maybe your under a misunderstanding of what this is. There is no root for oreo. There are no custom roms. Safestrap allows you to modify this stock rom by being able to flash certain zips, install xposed or delete and add stuff to system folders. There are basically 2 options 100% stock or this modified stock rom with the ability to customize

Quick question, would I be able to use this on another carrier (as in Verizon) since i have this phone stuck on this bootloader not having Sprint service. If not would this be possible so I could use my active verizon service with this rom, thank you.

Rebooting as described with Vol up + Home + Power does not work.
Tried this 3 times now. Warrenty Void is still 0, so I assume it was really not working.
What can I do?
I saw a different method to boot to recovery in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2pXwAIh6m4
But I am worried to brick my device if I boot into something broken.

No, just reboot your phone manually
Reboot manually = volume down + powerbutton for 7-10 sec
Recoverymode= volume up+ power button+ homebutton
*IMPORTANT!!!!!* if you boot in twrp it will ask you to swipe to allow modifications at that point you MUST root your device or install a custom rom, because if you allow modifications twrp starts modifying stuff in your /system folder and that triggers drk permanently or else you must use a jtag box to repair it and that is very expansive
People get drk error when they flash stock rom and they have flashed and swiped to allow modifications in twrp,
It wont break your device btw, if it does you always have xda developers we can fix everything together
But if it really does break you can flash stock rom if you are new to this then just tell me i can give you precise instructions for free
Thanks for your detailed reply!

My plan was, to save my current system, then flash LineageOS and maybe flash back the old system if something is not working correctly. If I get you right, I have to root first? But if I root first, everything will work fine?
Btw: What is drk?

So if the recovery is broken I can still flash a working one? What is a "bricked" devices if everything is just that easy? And yes - I am pretty new to this stuff.

Ok so i think its better to start fresh, google the following "samfirm" (without quotes) now there should be a thread in xda developers download the program from there and extract it (it doesnt require any installation, now enter your phone's model and region click on auto and click search it should give you the latest version for your country now just download it and wait for it to decrypt now extract the AP, BL, Cp, and csc file download odin (MUST USE THE LATEST VERSION) because samsung has started using a new file extension called lz4 and older odins cannot flash that now run the latest version of odin as admin and select the ap file in ap, bl in bl, cp in cp and csc in csc (do not select home csc) now flash and everything should be alright just wait untill your phone boots up, ( first boot on all roms take 5min +/- ) then go back to download mode, and flash twrp
Options for stock rom: auto reboot, f.reset time, nand erease all,
Options for twrp: just uncheck auto reboot
Now after flashing twrp reboot phone manually AND DIRECTLY boot in twrp
Now swipe to allow modifications
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FROM NOW ON YOUR WARRANTY HAS BEEN VOID!!! ALSO DRK IS GONE PERMENENTLY!
If your warranty is void knox will be tripped and ALL knox apps like samsung pay will be DISABLED FOREVER and there is NO WAY TO REVERSE THIS!!!
Now make sure you connect your phone to your pc and download magisk (thats a alternative root method in my opinion magisk is better then supersu because it can hide root from apps like snapchat, pokemon go and ANDROID PAY (and many more apps not allowing root)
Copy and paste the magisk zip (magisk v17.1 is latest now)
Go to install and search the zip file then swipe to install zip, now your phone is rooted, you can now reboot in your system,
Now if you want the custom rom, go to twrp, make a backup (ESPECIALLY OF EFS AND BASEBAND )
if these are lost then its your fault, and its also VERY HARD to repair it after backing up go to wipe and Wipe the following: Dalvik cache, cache, system, data DO NOT WIPE INTERNAL STORAGE
Now you are ready to flash the rom first boot may take a while and also it may have a bootloop just keep it looping and it will stop
If you decide to go back to stock you will get stuck at the s7 edge screen or get a drk error just go back to download mode and flash cf autoroot (that is supersu but you flash it with pc)
And yes, i know so many text and steps but there is no other choice i tried to make it simple as possible
If you follow this instructions precisely then nothing should go wrong
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please update me on how it went
Ask for help!
Donate and like if you think i deserved it!

Oh and, no its finished it looks like there is 1% left but you can simply reboot so you can skip the stock rom steps i'm sorry i didn't read your post correctly
Uhm... First: Thanks
The samfirm tool seems to be deprecated. The thread says, I should use fw.updato.com
My Problem is, I should enter my region. Where do I get my phones region?
But why do I actually need to flash a new firmware before installing TWRP?
Sorry if my question are a bit noobish

I tried doing this now, installing TWRP was successful. When trying to install Magisk it "Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)" and "Unable to mount storage". The same happend while trying to backup. As mentioned in some other threads (like here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-7neHzSIvc) I tried changing the File System to exFat. (And back to ext4 afterwards) I am stuck in Formatting... screen with "Formatting Data using mkexfatfs... Done." now. There is no button to continue to anything, just a bar that signalizes that there is something in process. Nothing changes. I am in this screen for over an hour now.
^
EDIT: Now after like 2hrs I get "E:recv error on uevent" multiple times. And this is not stopping...
EDIT: I've seen this: https://www.xda-developers.com/twrp-3-2-0-released-android-8-0-oreo-zips/
So, after 8hrs of nothing, I rebooted. But I just get to the TWRP starting Screen. Odin Mode is still working, so I tried flashing TWRP 3.1.1.0. Stuck in boot screen, too.
I reflashed Stock now. I can use my phone again. Your explanation how to flash stock was very useful! Now everything from the beginning
I finally made it to install Magisk. There was a crucial step missing: Go to wipe>format data and type yes. That fixed the problem "unable to mount data" and "unable to mount storage".
It finally worked! Installed LineageOS successfully!
Thanks for your help! I would not have made it without it

That's great if you have a windows computer, what do you do if you are a Linux user!
I have the same problem on Samsung S4 GT-I9195I kitkat 4.4.4 and an ubuntu 20.04 with adb and heimdall installed.
My procedure
Turn off Phone by long pressing the Power button;
Boot into Recovery mode (Home + Volume Up + + Power)
Wipe /data – Factory reset
Wipe /cache
Reboot and quickly after hitting reboot, into Download mode (Home + Volume Down + Power)
Code:
sudo heimdall detect
getting the img file from here.
Code:
sudo heimdall flash --RECOVERY twrp-3.7.0_9-0-serranoltexx.img --no-reboot
Volume down + Power to restart manually
Home + Volume Up + Power to boot into recovery mode
But what I get is the following:
No matter how I manually reboot to get into the recovery, I get this instead of a proper TWRP recovery.
Any idea?

Heimdall auto reboot also if you don't tell --no-reboot
Don't listen to people saying odin is needed , it's usually not, heimdall is fine.
@giammi56 Are you sure the recovery partition on this device is called "RECOVERY"? Some older devices have a partition with that name, but the actual recovery partition is called something else. You can run
Bash:
heimdall download-pit --output check.pit
This will download the current partition table from the device itself, which is good to have and also ensures proper USB connectivity. Then, read the partition layout using
Bash:
heimdall print-pit --file check.pit | less
Look for the entry that has "recovery.img" as the flash filename and use that one. Also, for some devices the name could be diffrent, so if there isn't one you will need to do further research.

PS: i tried both versions 3g and wifi they both gave me the same error of course with different variants versions, i think the SGh-I497 att is a wrong title

Its not a wrong title because i had the sgh-i497 and i linked everything that worked for me i dont have the tablet anymore but all of those files that i have compiled havent changed except lineage and gapps
Was your bootloader name espresso10, if so, i couldn't find the file for this variant, i don't know how it worked for you if your tablet is SGh-I497 from at&t, something must be wrong can you check the lineage link to see if the rom you used is still there, they might have deleted it or something, again i appreciate your efforts and work you're doing great

Same error, i did everything right, even the 4.1.2 rom worked but the lineage in twrp doesn't list my device in the error compatible devices list, i guess I'll say goodbye to it (SGh-I497 At&t espresso10)
