[Dec-25-2016] H850 20B DeOdexed

Your warranty is now void, don't blame me if your phone blows up blahblahblah.
Only system and kernel are being flashed, no Modem, BL, etc. You should already have updated to 20B before using.
Have not tested this myself, due to not owning the H850. edit: flashed it on T-Mobile 830 for fun with 20A 830 boot, no surprise, didn't work.
Decided to post anyway. If your going to use it, BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP
Based off of H85020b_00_TIM_IT_OP_1123.kdz
Only things touched are bootanimation (pixel black) and renamed recovery-from-boot.bak. It's also been zip-aligned.
Flash in recovery, profit??
SuperSu and Busybox included. Only /system is wiped, data left alone.
Should be able to dirty flash over current 20B if you like.
Any errors, etc, would most likely be related to deodexing as all files are stock.-Again, haven't tested this one myself
Link: H850_20B_DeOdexed
MD5: 99c9667294d1227de91605b8958233e0
If anyone would like to use this as a base, Great! Would appreciate some credit. [emoji13]
Enjoy.
Optional: Adjust Screen Color
Credits: @Chainfire for supersu. @SuperR. for the kitchen. @PlayerZ_ZawZaw for bootanimation. @jcadduono for TWRP. @bullghost for Firmware Extractor
It's people like them that make Android great!
Finally, thanks to Google/LG & XDA.
...whew.

Great work Bro, nice. :good:

A couple questions 1. Isn't 20B just a security patch update? 2. Does this ROM zip upgrade firmware (bootloader , radio, recovery) or just update software. 3. Since it's based off of the Italian H850 variant this won't cause troubles for EU variant?

1. Not 100% sure. 2. Just system and kernel are flashed. No M/BL, etc. 3. No idea really.

Received error while flashing, code 7, seems it couldn't locate a certain filesystem and aborts installation - same here with the 20B version

Hmmm flashed ok on my h830(swapped kernel), wouldnt boot (of course, this is for 850), but still flashed. Not sure why your getting that error, already removed the assert.

Same error... Keep at it tho, something like this could be really useful

If anyone wants to try this themselves here's a quick guide.
You can take the system.img and boot.img from either the kdz with LG Firmware Extractor or from autoprime complete zip.
Then Google "superR kitchen xda", if your using windows there is a VM iso in the thread you can use with VirtualBox etc.
Once you have the kitchen working just remember, set_metadata for perm, use smali/baksmali for deodexing and don't sign the zip or let it remove the meta-inf folders from apps.

In my h850 doesn't finish to install, it remains on initial boot animation.

Flashed ok but stuck on LG logo? May need to flash no verify or "format data" in TWRP. BACKUP everything if formatting.

Ok so I just clean flashed my 20a for h830 and got that error code 7, doesn't happen on dirty. Just restarted TWRP after wiping and then it flashed ok. Might be the same problem over here.

Installation Directions:
Boot into TWRP recovery, you will need it installed.
It is recommended to clear your system partition (performing a clean flash) before installing any kind of ROM ZIP. This is not needed, but recommended. You can do this by going into Wipe>Advanced Wipe, and then selecting the partitions that you want to clear.
IMPORTANT: If you want to keep your custom recovery/TWRP, you have to either flash a root-installing ZIP or another zip that retains the recovery installed. Android will attempt to override your custom recovery with the stock recovery when you flash a stock ROM, so if you don't want to lose TWRP, I suggest you do this.
Flash the desired ZIP. If you want the full ROM, flash the COMPLETE ZIP. If not, then choose the ZIP that you want to install.

If another update rolls out to this model (Oreo maybe?), please let me know by posting in this thread. Along with the heads-up, it would be useful to provide me with some information, such as a screenshot of the update summary.

Enjoy the stock files! :good:

Just out of curiosity, how did the flashing the recovery.img go? I tested it on my device, but just want to get results from a different device.

I didn't flash yours
I downloaded the 21a and took the OTA updates. I saw your thread right as I finished my downloads. I will be downloading your .zip tonight thought. (DSL means I have to be extremely bandwidth conscious, with 5 people using a 4mb connection).
In related news, the OTA updates from 21a -> 21b don't seem to have replaced TWRP. That's good. :good:
edit: 21b -> 21c replaced TWRP with the stock recovery. grumble grumble.

Any chance you can do this for 21b? I need the stock recovery (and possibly boot) to take the ota from 21b to 21c (rather than wiping and flashing this). Thanks for any help.

Is it possible to install this using LGUP for my RS988? I can't receive the 11d OTA in order to unlock the bootloader because my carrier never pushed it.

Files needed
hey you would happen to have the kdz file for rs98821c

Just did the same thing, did you get xposed installed ?

Can you ensure that Asgard kernel 7.0 working in that 21c version or please mention and share the link if we can use other kernel?
Thanks in advance.

Asgard 7.0 does work with this version of the ROM. However, I (and a lot of other users) have run in to a few problems, including random bootloops and freezing.
I am not aware of any other kernels available for our model (RS988).

Hey guys I believe yesterday a new firmware dropped for the rs988, version RS98821d, I think it is mostly just Android security updates, but I'm wondering if anyone would be able to post the kdz or tot image for it?

Worked for me. First boot can take forever sometimes.

i'm still using 10i.
is it possible to flash only *complete.zip-file or should i flash the kdz first?

I flashed directly from 10 and it worked, but it is risky. I did full backup before doing so. I wish I could go back to 10 as easy. Android N isn't supported by few older apps and brings new bugs for me as: broken quick charge, higher battery consumption, less convenient quck switch. IMHO LG did a really slappy job with Nougat for G5.

MEGA upload would be better.

Hey @DavidFlint.
Thanks for your work
Seems 20t is out. Any chances for a zip?

I flashed this firmware, tried both .zip through twrp and .kdz through LGUP. I flashed it to remove a Vodafone UK logo when booting up.
For some reason the Software version says V20s-234-15 instead of V20s-EUR-XX but the rest is exactly the same? Why is that anyone knows? I got another LG G5 H850 and it says V20s-EUR-XX. Any difference?

This rom is battery hungry. Really bad battery.

Maybe it's time to change the battery (a luxury not many people have nowadays) or maybe take a look at some rogue app. My uptime improved with this ROM.

I send in my H850 for repair a month ago (USB-C port was loose and other things) and received the phone back with V20s-EUR-XX. Bootloader was re-locked and I submitted another request for the unlock.bin.
It would take a few weeks but they confirmed that i would receive a new unlock.bin due to the change in device-id

well, the original unlock.bin was indeed generated in a few seconds from the website however because my device-id changed during the repair, (IMEI was the same), so the original file was'nt working anymore. and had to be modified manually.

Bought a new one but its the same with the old one. Apps are the same i used to have with marshmallow. I think nougat rom is the problem for the battery.

Will it restore the original recover if I flash it or the .zip is already without the recover or TWRP recover?
Do I need to flash magisk too after the .zip?

Zips don't contain recovery, so you'll keep your recovery after flashing. You have to flash Magisk/SuperSU if you want root. If you want to stay unrooted then flash the noveriety zip.

Is stock recovery included in the flashable ZIP so I have to delete it or no stock recovery included so I can flash straight? Thank you very much!

I don't know why for only a security patch, they make a whole new 2GB file. Why not making it like windows? that we can download only the patch file, and install.
A question: Can we root it? Because usually it has stock recovery, and we can't install TWRP and magisk through stock recovery. I tried it a lot with 20N and couldn't.

No, there is no stock recovery included in the ZIP archives. If you have TWRP installed you can just flash the "COMPLETE" ZIP. If you flash the kdz you will get the stock recovery.
To gain root just flash SuperSU after flashing the ZIP before reboot.

Hey @DavidFlint
Thank you for the port. I'm currently downloading it.
I was wondering.. do you mind creating a step-by-step how-to guide for anyone willing to make a flashable zip from KDZ like yours?
It'll be very useful and it'll be really appreciated by the community.
In the future you might not have time to do it etc etc so someone else can work on it.
Thanks for considering it

Thank you very much for this!
I was looking around in TWRP Recovery file manager what apk it was that was blocking me from using the phone after unlocking bootloader but I gave up when I found this.
Just out of curiosity, is it just an app or is it more that blocks after unlock + factory reset?

Has anybody rooted with magisk? Will I get stock recovery when I flash the "complete" zip with TWRP? I come from fulmics ROM. Thanks in advance.

Awnser is 3 posts above you. Complete ZIP has no stock recovery. Install via TWRP, and flash Magisk before reboot.

Thanks for your work - saved a lot of time to return to stock from Fulmics. Works great with Magisk too!
I hope you will do this again for future updates?

So based on research it seems I need to install the latest bootloader and modem on my phone to resolve a slow charging issue on resurrection remix 5.8.5.
Is it as simple as just flashing from within the latest TWRP or is this going to cause me to have to re-flash the OS, etc or unlock the bootloader again?

You won't lose anything - I did it on mine a year or so ago and it went smooth as butter
Just flash them in TWRP, it's basically an update and won't re-lock or wipe anything

Not for me. Never ever had error boxes after flash...

Weird..well it's all good
Thanks..always feel good to delete everything through twrp..
Did you say the complete package goes back to stock recovery..can't get into twrp..do the usual key combos..select yes twice but no recovery comes up

If you want to keep twrp with the complete zip you have to install supersu/magisk or no-verity-opt-encrypt. Use this https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/stock-h850-20d-eu-rom-flashable-zips-t3592762 as a guide.

No, there is no stock recovery included in the ZIP archives. If you have TWRP installed you can just flash the "COMPLETE" ZIP. If you flash the kdz you will get the stock recovery.
To gain root just flash SuperSU after flashing the ZIP before reboot.

As quodet, the complete zip DON'T flash stock firmware, so something goes wrong with your phone. Try to flash it again.

Is normal: 2 popup with errors (one is about NTCODE, isn't it?):it's because the nationality of your phone is not the same (actually I don't know if it happens only when you make a "dirty update" from a firmware that is from your region, someone reported that using KDZ to flash first in "refurbished, than in "upgrade" will solve the problem), you have 2 solutions:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/how-to/cust-error-solution-t3507311 or the easyest one: make a backup of the CUST folder and delete what's inside!

[STOCK][O] H850 30a OPEN EU ROM Flashable ZIPs + KDZ (Android 8.0 "Oreo")

Stock Firmware H850 V30a "Oreo" OPEN EU ROM
KDZ-File: H85030a_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0910.kdz (MD5)
Flashable ZIP Complete: LG-H85030a-Flashable.COMPLETE.zip (MD5)
Flashable ZIP Boot: LG-H85030a-Flashable.Boot.zip (MD5)
Flashable ZIP Bootloader: LG-H85030a-Flashable.Bootloader.zip (MD5)
Flashable ZIP Modem: LG-H85030a-Flashable.Modem.zip (MD5)
Android 8.0.0
Patch level: 1 September 2018
Baseband: MPSS.TH.2.0.c1.4-00070-M8996FAAAANAZM-1.163432.2a.168009.1
Kernel: 3.18.71
Build: OPR1.170623.032
Software version: V30a-EUR-XX
Changes:
- Android Oreo
Instructions:
Upgrade from Android 7 and root using TWRP and Magisk
Do backups! Expect to lose your apps and settings!
Get the required imgages:
H85030a_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0910.kdz from above --> store it on your HDD.
twrp-3.2.3-2-h850.img --> HDD
Magisk 17.1 ZIP file. Copy it to your G5's SD card.
the LG-H85030a-Flashable.COMPLETE.zip from above --> SD-Card.
Optional: You can additionally download the MD5 file which is being used by TWRP to verify the ZIP file (simply place it in the same folder like the ZIP).
As a safety measure, I'd clean upgrade with the stock KDZ first using LG UP. This will replace also recovery to stock. If successful, you can continue.
Unlock the bootloader (if not already unlocked) as described here with the official bootloader unlock and flash TWRP. TWRP 3.2.3-2 worked for me. Boot into TWRP as described.
Optional: Do a backup in TWRP.
Format Data: "Wipe" > "Format Data" > type "yes". Wipe slider wipe is not enough!
Go back until you see the TWRP main screen. Then Reboot into Recovery. Don't start into System!
Flash / Install the LG-H85030a-Flashable.COMPLETE.zip and Magisk-v17.1.zip without reboot inbetween.
Reboot to System
enjoy!
To build the ZIPs I used parts of autoprime's previous files. Thx again!

Is the Oreo firmware backward compatible with Nougat?

Why does it come with the Vodafone app?

Just curious if above should be in the OP as they are Nougat files unless I'm mistaken.

I've had it with these stock firmware files and images, I'm waiting until a debloated stable custom rom hits. The KDZ hung on boot even after factory resetting and this stock rom wipes twrp every time I reboot causing me to endlessly reflash twrp.

Thank you! My bad, the links were correct but the texts were wrong. Corrected.

Shouldn't. I tested it and there is no Vodafone app on my device. Where did you see this? Are you Vodafone customer?

Ok, just for information (and it may be useful to others with the same scenario):
I'm on lineage Oreo, with magisk and twrp 3.2.3.2, can I flash the COMPLETE zip => then twrp => then magisk and get the rom installed keeping twrp and root? I can't access any Windows machine (only Mac) to flash the kdz file, would it work as well if i flash all that stuff in twrp?
Thanks!

What do you mean? Downgrading back to Nougat? Honestly I never tried this.

The first boot after KDZ installation took 5-10 minutes on my device while showing the LG symbol and flashing LED... But it continued. The firmware appears stable on my device. TWRP runs persistent.

I'd give a try but don't blame me if it is not working. Flashing the KDZ was a safety measure to me as I was not entirely sure if flashing COMPLETE alone is enough. But you are already running an Oreo OS, so I'd try it. As long as you have access to TWRP or Bootloader you can flash your working Lineage image and TWRP. However, flashing TWRP after COMPLETE makes no sense in my eyes as COMPLETE does not contain stock recovery.

i also see 2 vodafone apps and some french thing "jeau" or something similar that keeps asking for permissions.
im on EE, but the previous firmware was non branded.
everything seems to be working smoothly

Anyone got any other link than Mediafire? Takes 4 hours to download and would like it faster?

Thank you so much, I didn't know COMPLETE has no recovery inside. So (sorry for bothering) what does COMPLETE contain? My guess is Rom+boot+modem+bootloader but now I'm not sure anymore

Hi
So is good rom to install from TWRP recovery. Any one fund any issue?

The Vodafone app is called "Start" and the phone is unlocked and I'm not a Vodafone customer.

Rom is from Vodafone or only app?

Flashed today, have been running it for about 5 hours...
Gotta say I'm in love, and btw, no bloatware apps nothing. Just clean stock LG Oreo. Beautiful.

I flashed yesterday coming from Lineage OS 15, wiped System, Data and Caches, installed Rom and Magisk. It works.
But I do have the bloatware from LG like Facebook App and a lot of others, that I can not entirely uninstall.
And my phone keeps presenting me a software update, that I would only see, when I agree in using my personal data for...
Btw. no Vodafone App. Why do we have these different experiences? What's going on?

Use system app remover

Flashed Oreo on two LG G5
One got no bloatware and one came with Vodafone and Orange app
The one without bloatware has the Software Version: V30a-EUR-XX
and the one with bloatware has the Software Version: V30a-214-07
I used the same files for flashing
But the bad thing is on both phones the light doesn't work?!
Someone with the same issue?
