DO NOT FORMAT YOUR MICRO SDCARD INSIDE TWRP RECOWERY
WARNING: If you want tho use /data and internal sdcard first have to format data in stock recovery This will wipe your internal storage, and factory reset your phone!
encryption is not supported yet
To flash this img to your phone use fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-x.x.x-x-h840.img
+new test build with encryption support
source code https://github.com/synescu/twrp_lg_h840
1.Unlocking the bootloader.
1.1Get the latest drivers: ( http://tool.lime.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=UW00120120425 )
1.2Get ADB fastboot. If you hate installing huge files for just a few commands, you have 3 options:
-MINIMAL ADB and fastboot: (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 )
-15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3: (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 )
-SDK Platform-Tools coming directly from google: (https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html )
I personally went with the “15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3”, because it installs also a Google driver, which might, or might have not helped out in the process to follow.
1.3Follow the instructions at the official LG unlocking page ( https://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev ), just keep in mind that after step 1.2 you have adb ready to go @ your main drive C:\adb. You go to that folder shift + right click and open a command prompt at that location, the rest is trivial.
2.Updating to the latest official stock android.
2.1Get the latest kdz from: (https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h840-firmwares/ ). As far as I know you can go for any of those firmwares, but it is advisable to use one from your region (Europe, South America, Middle East). As mentioned above my LG G5 H840 is the newest European model, totally unbranded. So I took the 20c for Spain. This is as high as you can get at present moment.
2.2 Flash with LGUP 1.14 and UPPERCUT 1.0.0, both available at: (http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G5 )
2.3 Reboot and do a quick setup. I recommend to have your sim card, SD card out at this moment, do not connect to wireless networks, all of this you will have plenty of time to do later, besides whatever you set at this point will be lost in the next step.
3.Get TWRP and root
3.1TWRP. As a courtesy of synescu, we have 2 versions: a regular one and such with encryption support. It took me long to realize that only the one with encryption would work on a latest H840 installed with v20c. So I guess if you have an old phone and possibly firmware 10a/b/c/d, than you can try “twrp3.1.1-0-h840.img”, otherwise go straight to “twrp_encryption-h840.img”. If you use the one without encryption support you will find no way to root the phone, because it can not see the SD card, or any USB flash attached and also if you connect the phone to a PC with MTP mode, or any other mode you won’t be able to browse both (internal and external) memories on that phone.
3.1.1Put on a SD card following files: 1) latest stable SuperSU 2.79 2) no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip from here (https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt/no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1.zip ) and just in case although not mandatory “twrp_encryption-h840.img”.
3.1.2Put in the C:\adb folder the “twrp_encryption-h840.img” and the stock recovery from here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4149809&d=1494791791 ). The stock recovery is necessary in case you make a mistake and have to do a factory reset.
3.1.3Turn off the phone.
3.1.4Boot into stock recovery (holding volume down + power, at LG logo releasing power shortly and than pushing power again).
As a side note here, after I unlocked the bootloader I’ve got that annoying message on start-up that the phone is untrusted. With G4 H815 it was a small message in the upper corner, this time around it is a huge message in the middle of the screen. LG, for the love of god! After all the playing, I have now also a message screen, which I call “Options Menu”, it shows right after the nagging untrusted message. Although esthetically ugly, I have an easy way to go to recovery and fastboot in each and every regular power on, or restart. As said the Options Menu is showing up for 5 sec after the untrusted nagger. If you click the volume up, or down you get to the options (Power off, Restart, Recovery, Fastboot ), otherwise after 5 sec the phone would boot normally. I don’t know if this is the expected behavior of the phone, or did I trigger it somehow, but now I don’t have to use the combo buttons for anything.
Back from the side note. The new stock recovery is a white screen with 2 options for No and Yes. Go for YES and than YES again, after both YES the phone will be factory reset and will reboot. Do not allow it to boot though, because the userdata will be encrypted at this point and you will have to repeat the reset again. Use the combo buttons for recovery, which will bring you to the “Options Menu”, or Volume up and plug in the phone into the PC. Yet again there is hardly any time so maybe plugin in won’t be fast enough, so just keep pressed the combo buttons, also change with volume up and power, or remove the battery and start again. In any event do not let it boot until it brings you to the “Options Menu”
3.1.5In the Options Menu pick fastboot and plug the phone to the PC
3.1.6Open command prompt in adb and flash TWRP ( fastboot flash recovery twrp_encryption-h840.img ) you might be ok also to do factory reset from adb with this command (fastboot –w ), but unfortunately I forgot already if I did it, when it finally worked for me
3.1.7Disconnect from the PC and pull the battery out, or just keep the buttons combo pressed. It is possible that you see the old stock recovery (white screen YES/NO), which might have stayed somehow in memory. Do not perform further resets, just keep pressing the button combo and it will reboot eventually to the Options Menu.
3.1.8There you go 3 times volume down and power to pick recovery. Follows a reboot of the bootloader, nagging screens, but eventually it loads TWRP.
3.2Root.
3.2.1For some reason even after the factory reset, the data partition keeps an encrypted flag. So you can not write to it. Stock recovery should have reset it to non-encrypted, but it does not do it correctly, I guess. Therefore you go to Wipe, pick only the Data check box and go to change format in the bottom. Change the format to FAT and than back to EXT4
3.2.2Go to the SD card and flash no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip and SuperSu. Yes I know, that SuperSu is supposed to install also no-verity, but I like to flash both just in case.
3.2.3Do NOT wipe anything in TWRP at this point. Reboot only!!!!! Once the phone has booted in v20c you can go back to TWRP, Wipe and make all the backups you like
Thanks to @svetloslav for this complex post
Thanks a lot.
Can't wait to flash!!
YESS finally we have root on the SE thank you very much man
Hi all. When I try to flash recovery, fastboot give me that message:

Why would you think that you would keep TWRP after flashing stock recovery? Also, why would you flash stock recovery after flashing TWRP and SuperSU? You either have TWRP or stock recovery, not both. Also, don't ever recommend flashing stock recovery after modifying system in any way unless you reflash whole stock system as stock. Anyways, all you need to do to get TWRP back is use the :
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img

I've been at this for like 8 hours going in circles. I have about 12 hours to figure this out. I am scheduled to go back to TMO to return this phone. Please help me.
While trying to revert back to stock, upon boot, at first there is a green icon, then it turns red w/ an exclamation point and just hangs there. It seems to have booted into the recovery because where it hangs, if i touch the "home" button, it disappears and shows me the cwm recovery main menu with a few errors relating to unable to mount SD. Its a very gimpy CWM with more than half of the commands/functions missing. (see pics below)
This is what I am currently getting in order....

- Boots to image 01
- Then to 02, here its trying to load/mount stuff, notice the SD icon and load bar near the bottom
- In 03 it looks like it ran into an error and hangs there
- Not sure why but I realized it boots straight into recovery. From 03, if i touch the home button I get 04. Notice all the stuff missing from cwm options
- 05 is what my HBoot / Bootloader looks like
-------------------------------
I am able to get back into HBoot / bootloader screen and can confirm that while in that mode the PC does recognize the device. But everything I flash does not work. When I run RUUs they seem to begin a process, but once that is done ( which isnt long), I would reboot but see nothing has changed. I tried to undo that stock recovery to access to NAND backups and start the process again but that Recovery doesn't have options for backups (strange?). Anyways, but can not flash another CWM successfully.
This is what I currently see when flashing a CWM now

This is One S development forum. Questions should be posted in questions.
Simple fix. Boot into bootloader and factory reset. Reboot once again into bootloader and format /erase sd card. Remember all this is being done from bootloader and not recovery. Reboot once again into bootloader and connect usb to phone and use fastboot to push cwm or whatever recovery you want to phone. Your sd card should now be mounted.
Not entirely sure about the return to stock, but being able to mount is a huge step in the right direction. Hope this helped

Sorry if I posted in the wrong place. Usually when I ask a flashing related question there someone tells me it should be asked in Development.
Anyways, I tried that but nothing changed. Sucky thing is that current recovery I am using, I can't even make a backup, restore a backup, or even install a rom from there.

First and foremost you need a working recovery with a mounted sd card. Are you able to push anything via fastboot? I found it easiest to use a fastboot script. It dumbs it down to a couple mouse clicks. There is a utility for the one S called all in one. (sorry don't have link) maybe try that to install fresh recovery. One thing for certain, factory reset and then format card has to be done from bootloader mode and then push new recovery.

Yeah i have full control of Fastboot, just not always getting the desired final results. Yes I have the AIO pack and have tried to flash those recoveries w/o results. I mean from the log it looks like that did the trick but nothing changes after reboot, I can't get rid of the current Recovery.

Steath! Now we are getting somewhere!
As I was going through the steps, I got the CWM from the AIO. That was before I had a chance to flash the 2nd time (step3), before I could get to the rest of the steps I allowed the phone to boot normal instead of HBoot, then it reverted back to the other recovery. But as of right now I did flash via AIO, cleared storage, factory defaulted, flashed via AIO again and now I am on step 5.
I am still sitting in the AIO CWM right now. The guide says to flash the UTB rom, which I am unfamiliar with and it appears like a custom rom. So what should I flash and what method should I use? Even though CWM is back I have no means to flash a ROM from there b/c my sd is empty. Should I .....
- flash one of the RUUs via fastboot?
-rename the RUU and push it to the SD via ADB and flash via CWM (like in the guide)?
(not sure if that method works with customRom only or RUUs as well.

If you can mount your sdcard partition in recovery, you can then adb push a rom to it and flash it.
On your PC:
adb push yournewrom.zip /sdcard/
Then on your phone, in recovery:
Format system, data, cache
Flash zip from sdcard -> choose zip -> /sdcard/yournewrom.zip
Before you boot into the new rom, flash the boot.img (extract it from the zip) in fastboot.
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
Steath's advice led me to the guide and got me on the right track. Even with detailed instructions, I went in circles for awhile, but in the end I got it. I'm so relieved, its been a stressful 12hrs.
So now I just have one last question. Is it safe to extract boot.img & recovery.img and flash it with fastboot? This might even be a common practice who knows, I'm still very new to much of it.

It is safe and common practice (and in many cases required to prevent bootloops) to extract the boot image from the rom you flash, and flash this boot image through fastboot.
Custom roms do not come with their own recovery (only their own boot.img). The only reason to extract a recovery from a RUU or OTA and flash it, is when you need to go back complete stock.
Edit: But if you want to switch to a different custom recovery, then yes, flashing it through recovery is safe and the proper way. (You just don't 'extract' it from anything.)
Hi,
I am really not into flashing and stuff like this, but some weeks ago I successfully rooted my device and installed a custom bootloader (teamwin). Today I wanted to do a clean wipe to install cm11s on my N5. So I launched into recovery, selected "wipe" and unfortunatly I selected "advanced wipe" also. I checked everything and started the wipe process. Dont ask me why I did this, I wasnt thinking obviously. When I boot my device now, only the white Google font is visible and underneath there is a locker. I can start recovery but since I wiped everything I can not install the stock rom again. Also my PC doesnt recognize the N5 as a "harddrive" so I can not move the stock .zip to the device. The device manager is displaying it as ACER DEVICE, and under portable devices it is displayed as Nexus 5 with a yellow exclamation mark. Any tipps how I can get a rom on this device again?
Simple mate...
Download cm rom zip
Reboot into recovery
Mount ur storage
Put cm rom zip somewhere
Install that rom zip via recovery(twrp is recovery not the boot loader )
Flash gapps (optional if u want google services n apps) (u can do this later also)
Reboot

First of app, TWRP is a custom recovery, not a custom bootloader.
Either ADB push a rom zip to your device while it's in recovery and flash it, or flash the factory images while in the bootloader. Links to guides for both of those are available in the first link of my signature.

When these are all done, from Recovery's main screen, select "Install ZIP from SD Card" and then "Choose file from SD Card" and select the ROM.zip file you just pushed from your computer to the SD Card. If you do not see the file, go back to Mounts and Storage and toggle them to say "Mount /sdcard/" and "Mount /system/" and then go back and try to fine the ROM.zip file. If you still do not see it, it was not pushed correctly...go back and ensure you were letter for letter with the name and the file path.

2. reboots bootloader

When I want to enter recovery mode I only see the android picture with a red triangle (looks like something bad). Does this mean I have to root+install a custom recovery again?

Mount storage only works on a non-fuse /sdcard. Meaning either:
- device has removable sdcard
- device is not using fuse for internal storage.
Nexus 5 meets neither.

Either ADB push a rom zip to your device while it's in recovery and flash it, or flash the factory images while in the bootloader. Links to guides for both of those are available in the first link of my signature.

The N5 is basically the best contemporary phone to soft brick or break. The support and tools available are great.
Hey! long story short. My phone wont boot slot B (witch is the location my primary Os is installed.) it reboots itself immediately after booting and switches back to slot A where it starts to load H2 OS, but in the end it stucks at loading screen forever.
Full details here:
It started when i decided to update the OS to android 10. So first i wanted to update the TWRP (3.2.3-1 is the older one, and i needed to install: 3.3.1-2).
I downloaded the latest update, backed up the recovery (all of it, just in case).
Then, keep in mind, i by mistake installed the same installer as i already had! I by mistake installed the same 3.2.3-1 version, from an installer i had earlier when i rooted the phone in the past.
In theory, nothing could go wrong. But there you have it, it stuck on TWRP. i just could not boot to system.
so i decided to restore from TWRP backup. Now the problem only worsened!
First, not just that the system doesn't loads (apparently, it is installed in slot B), it is forcing to load to slot A, every time i boot the phone. And it loads H2 OS, well not really loads, because it is loading for 20 minutes now and nothing happens.
Second, slot A is "only for reading" and everything is encrypted, so i can pretty much can't do a thing there, including restoring from backup again.
Third, every time i try to switch to slot B, in the recovery it switches, but as soon as i reboot (doesn't matter if i reboot to recovery, fastboot or system) the phone just restarts immediately after boot, apparently switches back to slot A in background, and tries to load H2 OS again. an i know that because i try to go into recovery after that and i see it is in slot A once again.

please help me with it!:crying:
Thanks!
The issue might be that official TWRP does not support Android 10 yet. You probably needed unofficial mauronofrio twrp. However, I am not sure if there is a clean way out of this situation. Maybe if you flash the right twrp it will just boot?
What do you mean "everything is encrypted and I cannot do much there"? Data is encrypted with your password, isn't it?

If you click "Read Only" doesn't it ask you the password then? I swear I have done this today when recovering from a poor magisk module...
I am actually not sure if you want to keep it read only or not, but I think no matter which option you select it promts you for a password
EDIT: Sorry, got distracted by the picture and missed the question. I looked at some threads and the process of upgrading seems to be potentially complicated if you have Magisk. Read more here. And maybe here.
Maybe if you boot into bootloader, run "fastboot set_active a" and then "fastboot flash boot_a <recovery_filename>.img" and everything will just work. Maybe it won't. Replace "a" with "b" in both commands if you are trying to boot into b.

and yet again, it doesn't asks for pasword, and wvwry folder i look to restore, looks like this:
meaning it is encrypted.
is there a way to reinstall TWRP from PC using command prompt, using adb or something like that?

Hm, interesting.
IF YOUR DATA IS ON THE LINE, DO NOT LISTEN TO ME. I do not know how twrp backup/restore works. Maybe wait for someone more knowledgeable to come in if you are worried about the data. But if you are sure that everything is safe on your pc somewhere, feel free.
Yes, please see my edit. You can do it through fastboot. You can use the respective section here for inspiration.
Did you had the password block on phone?
Just answer me, do u know the decrypt data? Its the password which u use to unlock phone

i'll answer detailed.. At start, while TWRP was working and it could launch slot B (it's where my OS initially was installed), it asked me for the phones password.
After backing up TWRP and trying to update it, it failed to launch OS, so i tried to restore from backup.
After restoring, it just couldn't start slot B at all (OS nor recovery) and it switched to slot A.
in slot A though, it didn't asks me for password, and encrypted data right away.
Now at the moment,after trying to flash TWRP to both slots, slot A don't launch recovery, the phone seems like it's connected to PC and works but screen is black, and the problem with slot B stays the same (switches right away to slot A)
you really can help with that? :silly:

Restore from twrp is broken. Everything on slot b is gone but your data is there. You must install the same oos version you had on slot b to fix slot b. Then you boot into and do first time setup. Reboot to twrp and restore data only.
Try to enter settings and terminal, and type "decrypt [password]" or "twrp decrypt [password]

ok.. i get what i need to do.. is there a guide on how to do so properly, so i wont mess up things even more? lol
The easy way would be if you have otg cable to jump drive with stock oos, twrp, and root. If not, then adb in twrp is your friend.

so i do have OTG cable. But i need a more vivid explanation on how to install stock os on it. or how to use adb in TWRP, if TWRP doesn't load on any slot.
The pictures look like you still have twrp. From twrp, you install stock rom twrp. Reboot recovery. Root and boot into system. The jump drive is because it will not be encrypted in twrp.

It seems you still on stock mi flash recovery, if your bootloader currently still unlocked.
You have to:
1. Go to fastboot
2. Flash TWRP again
3. Without restaring the device, reboot TWRP by using button combination: power off the device, press and hold volume down button until you see twrp screen
4. Format all data using twrp (option enter yes to confirm)
5. Reboot recovery using option reboot in TWRP recovery
6. Plug in pc to copy rom and flash.

Seems like you lost TWRP
Reinstall twrp
Code:
Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (use your filename)
Fastboot reboot recovery
Then when your in click the top right icon which says wipe. Here click on the right button I forget what it says I think it says wipe data. Next screen will ask you to type out the word "yes" you have to do this. You will lose all your data on the phone.
Now provided you have the drivers correctly installed you should see your phone as accessible from your computer. Paste your rom into the drive from your computer to the phone drive.
Once completed, go back to your phone you should be on the main menu click on top right it should say install. I believe you'll be in root directory you have to navigate to sdcard. Look for sdcard folder.
You should see the Rom you copied over, install it. It should take 5 to 10 minutes. Once complete reboot to system. First but will take some time maybe 5 to 10 minutes let it do it's thing.
Your done. If you want magisk, there are lots of guides here to do that as well

Mtp is ok no issues. Photo is broken can't see what you posted. Try wipe on the left button. Don't wipe system. Did you have a pin code setup for your phone to get in the phone are you entering this pin code when twrp starts? You should enter this pin/password

It wont boot twrp or install twrp ..
twrp wont load whatsoever now ..
my only option is only mflash tool ..
is there any Fastboot rom which wont cause anti rollback error check
If anyone finds any solution will be greatly appreciated ..
Thanks
I'm doubt that you have unlocked Bootloader, that's really a big problem here...
If your bootloader is unlocked, our mentioned steps should work fine.
Did you really unlock bootloader? And didn't locked it again accidentally while using miflash?

Unless you use custom MIUI rom, stock MIUI always overwrite TWRP.
BTW, if you flash official China Dev rom, no need to flash GAPPs, just install additional play store apk (plus additional latest play service framework if needed) from apkmirror, all other necessary things installed by Xiaomi already.

I shifted from apple to android recently and I decided to root my device OnePlus 8t KB2001 (I believe I have Android 12) as I wanted to install kali on it. Therefore I decided to follow instructions on this website. I did not type the steps because I did not want to lose out on any key details.
I performed all the steps till here:
I did not perform step 6, instead, I performed step 7 as I wanted to install TWRP Recovery on my phone permanently.

According to the instructions I was supposed to boot my device to TWRP. Since I am currently booted to Fastboot, I used the Volume Keys to bring up the Recovery option and hit the Power key to confirm the decision.
As per the instruction as soon as my OnePlus boots to TWRP, it will ask to decrypt data. I was supposed to simply enter my phone’s password/PIN to proceed ahead but this never happened. Instead, I am stuck in a situation where I am seeing the following screen:
I searched every single option and there's no Online Update (keep data) option. I am stuck in this loop for hours. Even the option of formatting data doesn't remove this RECOVERY.
I don't know if this information would help but I can enter the Fastboot Mode by tapping on "Advanced" and selecting "Reboot to fastboot mode".
It would be really helpful if someone can tell me a fix to this problem as I really don't want to throw this phone away as I just got it today.
You probably flashed a version of TWRP made for Android 11 while having Android 12. You can try flashing a compatible version (unofficial) which you can find here.
I have not had the exact problem you describe but I don't think you'll end up discarding your phone. Just plan to read a lot on the forums, try a lot of things and potentially spend several days working through the problem. Bookmark the useful instructions you find so you can return to re-read and make notes as you go along. Start with booting a different version of TWRP and see what happens. The images you posted are of the stock recovery, not TWRP recovery. Make sure the TWRP.img you are trying to boot resides in the folder that your command prompt is pointing to.

I think I know what happened:
The OnePlus 8T is a device which uses a technology called Virtual A/B. In practice, it has two slots for the operating system called 'a' and 'b' of which only one is active at a time. When you do an OTA upgrade the upgrade gets installed to the inactive slot and then the phone is asked to switch slot on the next boot. If the phone can't boot after this slot switch, it will switch back to the previous slot to prevent bricking itself. So what I think it happened when you flashed the wrong TWRP is that the phone tried to boot into recovery from your current slot but failed because of incompatibility. Then, it switched the active slot to the inactive slot where you probability have another version of OxygenOS that can't boot (probably because it's older than your current one). After some attempts, the phone goes into recovery but this time it loads the stock one because it has switched slot and the recovery is subject to this Virtual A/B mechanism too.
If this is what happened you can do as follows:
- reboot into fastboot
- switch the active slot by doing
Code:
fastboot --set-active=other
- flash the correct TWRP you downloaded before on this slot by doing
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <recovery file name>.img
After doing this you should be able to boot both into the system and into TWRP.

I just have one more question, so now if I have to boot into TWRP what steps should I follow? As I still have to download Magisk on my phone to properly root it
Did you flash TWRP after switching slot? If so you should be able to boot into it by holding power and volume down while turning the phone on.
Yes I flashed the TWRP as you specified below
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <recovery file name>.img
and once I press the power and the lower volume button I am taken into fastboot option. Once I am there which option should I select? Start, recovery or something else?

To root your phone you can follow this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...national-kb2000-kb2001-kb2003-kb2005.4178675/
You actually don't strictly need TWRP to root. I suggest that you always try to follow guides that are on XDA rather than searching for random websites with Google.

I just have one more question, so now if I have to boot into TWRP what steps should I follow? As I still have to download Magisk on my phone to properly root it

You can install magisk from TWRP recovery.
Changing slots is also possible there.
