Help with nandroid backup - AT&T LG V10

I have rooted my V10 H900 and want to do a full backup of the phone before I attempt to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP, and then install a custom ROM. I have installed Titanium Backup...what a piece of garbage, It's like the UI was written by a 5 year old with ADD. I decided to try Helium instead but it throws a SuperUser error "non zero result 1" (I am using SuperSU and BusyBox). I have checked the permissions in SuperSU and it looks right. Does anyone know what to do to get past this? Is there a better app/method to backup my phone?
Also i would love some input into which recovery to use as well as which ROM's work well with the V10 H900.

There are no custom ROMs for the AT&T V10. The bootloader is locked and no one has been able to unlock it yet. Only the European version and the T-Mobile version are allowed to unlock the bootloader. I gained root for Lollipop and then used the FlashFire app to do a NAND backup. There is not a rooted version of Marshmallow for this phone yet.

Bootloop or bricked phone. Please help. T Mobile Note Edge cok2 5.1.1

I am caught in a bootloop after attempting to root using the following process.
Using Odin3 v3.10.6, I flashed the following:
n915t-cwm-recovery-6.0.5.1(1128).tar - THIS MAY HAVE BEEN AN ERROR. SHOULD I HAVE USED "openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.1-trltetmo.img.tar"
I did a full backup to my phone's external SD card from cwm-recovery-6.0.5.1.
I then flashed both the files below without rebooting in between. I did not wipe any cache or data.
Emotion-TW-nightly-r23-RC1-SM-N915T
UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46
The phone locked when I rebooted and would not move past the first black screen.
I pulled the battery and rebooted to recovery.
I did a restore of my backup that appeared to complete successfully.
I got a message asking to root the phone. I said yes, then rebooted.
Now stuck in a bootloop.
Hoping I can recover from this?
Root only with extra Kernel
When recovery asks to install root at the end, hit no. Thats your issue. You already installed supersu, so you've already got root. Personally I prefer stock kernel, with the latest beta supersu, you can still get root. With Universal init.d app, you can still get init.d support. With a custom build of xposed for Samsung lollipop, you can still get xposed. There's even a special version of viper audio. So yeah all you lose is the overclock ability.
Thank you. I ended up reflashing the firmware and got it working again. I'm still in the same situation, without root. My goal is to install a custom rom but I'm concerned about trying The Root process again. I read that a security patch was done in November for lollipop. Could that have impacted my ability to root and cause me to get into a boot loop? Wondering if there is a more current root method than the one I used.

[Q/HELP] Cannot install apps on Huawei MT7-L09 Lollipop 5.1.1 B324

Hello
I have a problem with my Mate. I will try and list the things i did to get to this problem and I hope the information helps solve it.
I wanted to install xposed (first thing I did wrong) so I rooted using King Root (ver 4.8.2) successfully
then unlocked the bootloader using Huawei website
Using Flashy, I flashed TWRP recovery to install xposed (regrets).
After creating back up on TWRP, I tried to flash xposed, didnt work.
I gave up and rebooted phone to android, and i saw i had lost Nav buttons and Notification bar.
Booted back into TWRP and tried to restore my backup. It kept failing at 33% (would post logs but I lost them), I then thought a factory reset would help and it did.
I got the navigation and notification bar, but I soon realised I cannot install apps. I couldn’t install from my SD (apk’s) or from the Play Store.
I can’t install anything on it now. I’ve learnt my lesson not to mess with the inner workings of my device but now I am stuck with EMUI (no Nova or other 3rd party launcher).
Is there any way I can get it back to installing apps as usual? I saw another thread with similar problem (can’t install apps) but I wasn’t sure if I should post there (its old and unattended thread). If I should post this in another thread please point me in the right direction and thank you in advance.
:crying:
I would clear cache and Dalvik cache in recovery then flash back to a stock kitkat recovery, put the correct stock complete kitkat ROM in the dload folder in SD card and do a force update from stock recovery. Once it runs properly again, update to the right ROM you want to run, in the correct order of updates, make sure bootloader is unlocked, root the correct way (not kingroot, use ADB) then seek guidance on what mods work with what ROM. Do not try to root without unlocked bootloader! That ruined it I think.
If you want Xposed, it only partially works in Kitkat, not at all in Lollipop. What do you need with Xposed? I'm running B331 Lollipop now, no Xposed and no real need for it. I do have unlocked bootloader, root and Viper4android and it runs great. I use Smart Launcher Pro but kept Huawei Home (launcher) and theming apps installed so the system is happy but it looks how I want and is good to use.
Thanks for your quick response RobboW, will try that method and let you know if I make any improvement to my situation.
So I have to get a stock KitKat recovery and stock KitKat ROM for that recovery. Do I force an update from TWRP or what? I'll read up on recovering stock Roms and let you know if I make any progress. Thank you for the response though.
Force update with a stock ROM needs to be done from stock recovery. TWRP stops the phone from updating the stock way. The bootloader can stay unlocked if it already is.
It worked exactly like you said. I'm back on Lollipop B324. I can install apps and got the motion control settings back.
Thank you so much RobboW!
You're welcome
OS faults are not so bad if you have access to recovery. It's the ones that make using recovery and ADB difficult that cause the big dramas.

Sm-s906l root exist?

Hello I'm starting to think I'm the ONLY ONE with this model of s6 because I've been looking for a root that would work for nearly a month before breaking down and finally making an account here to ask. I've tried Odin but it failed. Every other root option doesn't have my model listed as compatible and I don't want to end up with a brick phone. I'm new to android and I've learned that rooting isn't nearly as easy as jail breaking. Can anyone here help me?
i downloaded https://root-apk.kingoapp.com I use it on my SM-S906L sometimes it fails but i just retry and then it roots! works everytime! I also download supersu and open after rooting, then it removes the kingo superuser for me and then i just reboot.
Here's the stock verizon firmware, it's for verizon but it works with straight talk. There's also TWRP and SU in this package.
(S906LUDU1AOG8)
hxxps://mega.nz/#!XJNwza6L!jZejiTJIchsmbawMLXj-fJ9aJsBDE1VcMw1F5HbTWGo
Flash twrp onto the phone with odin, and then install supersu with twrp and you'll be rooted.

LG G5 H830 10a will not update

So I'm having an issue with updating my phone.
I have tried reading all of the threads, but so many things are still a mystery and are confusing. I haven't been able to get a full understanding of all of this.
I have a LG G5 H830 10a T-Mobile variant.
I am running Android 6.0.1
I have a custom recovery of TWRP
My phone is rooted with SuperSU also.
All I want to do, is to update my phone to Nougat. What is the process I have to go through? After reading all about it, here is my assumption:
I download Flashfire and use DisableService to disable my root and SuperSu, then I run the OTA Nougat update...
That didn't work. I got an error from TWRP that said:
"unable to flash update.zip from cache/update.zip, update is meant for "h1" device, your device is an H830"
Or something along those lines.
I have a Nandroid backup, so I'm not worried if I brick or soft brick it.
Any help please?
Thanks!

You're not going to be able to update to Android N yet if you want to keep twrp and root. Only way to do it currently is if you have 100% stock phone and update via ota or using the zip file that was posted. If you don't care about root or twrp, update to 10j using the complete zip that autoprime posted and don't install SuperSU or dm-verity and let boot. You will have 100% stock and can take ota or use zip method. *** There is no current way to get root or twrp for t mobile version once on official android N yet *** So if root and twrp are important just wait until autoprime gets a chance to upload the flashable zip files for N to flash in twrp. You could also use cm or cm based Roms if you want android N, plus those are 7.1 stock is only 7.0, but if you want stock rooted just have to wait until it's released.

Ohh okay, perfect thank you!
With that in mind, I had another question..
I have an LG V20 as well.
One thing I was thinking of doing was the following:
Unlocking the bootloader, putting a custom recovery like TWRP on it.
Make a Nandroid backup.
Then root it, and then go about my business. If something like this happens again and I want to update, I can simply do a Titanium Backup go to my Nandroid backup, restore it. Then update OTA, then reroot, run titanium backup restore, and then I'll be back where I left off.
will that work?
And one last question:
How would I go back to factory settings on my LG G5?

I'm not 100% sure but I don't think that would work as once you install twrp it modifies the recovery. IMG which would cause ota to fail. But on the other hand, you could most likely do the same method as the g5 to go back to official and take ota. Flashing the complete zip (if those are being created for the v20, haven't checked that thread as I don't own that device) and not re-installing the dm-verity or SuperSU will always reinstall the original boot.img and recovery.img and be 100% official stock. Hope this helps.

Restoring System Image While Keeping s-off

So, I was trying to flash the verizon radio on to my unlocked htc 10. I installed twrp, rooted it, and s-off'd it, but it wasn't working (Once you reset the phone after s-off it doesn't have root anymore.) So, I decided to convert it to a Verizon variant using, https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-10/how-to/guide-convert-unlocked-to-verizon-t3380615.
I was trying to root my phone and ADB sideloader kept coming up with, "you need 1.0.32 or newer to sideload on this device." I have the latest version of ADB so it shouldn't have been coming up with that message. My phone is the European version and I am trying to convert it to the US version by loading SuperSU. I backed up my system image before I rooted it. If I restore that system image will I still have s-off and an unlocked bootloader?
Any help would be awesome! I'd really like to get this working with verizon
