Thank you.
I rooted to gain access to ad block for apps but now with Lollipop the app does not work. So I was thinking of going back to stock. Thanks for your hard work.
Anyone know of a good app that blocks ads?

adaway works good for me

If I used the one click root method to root my device, can I do re root doing that method again and regain twrp?

Can anyone report how the 10j update is running if it has changed anything for the better or sped up the device I know its for the stagefright patch but there is supposed to be other fixes in it also to speed up things ????

YES, if you flash this Restore Rom or any other rom just follow the right instructions about Root like if you are in 5.1.1 use the LG_LP5.1.1 One Click Root Method in This Thread (Click Here) and follow the instruction for TWRP

about speed i haven't had a performance issue at all since the first 5.1.1 update, so my device still/been snappy since then.

Okay so i updated my phone to the 10j upgrade and also re rooted. Do i need to keep the bootstack zip and the return to stock zip? or can i just delete those zip files?

No need to keep them just do a backup using TWRP to be safe in near tweaks or updates or any mess

I don't have a computer to update to 10j can I use that bootstack.zip with the debloated Rom? Basically can I use that bootstack.zip by itself to update the radio/modem/stagefright?

Yes you can and/or you can use @GameTheory. V10j which have the bootstack+system and is pre-rooted (no need to use a root method)

I tried gametheory's 10j it softbricked my device. I had to use the original LP5.1.1 to get it back. Will flashing your bootstack and v4 debloated together work? I don't have a computer to kdz my way out of it. Will flashing your bootstack put recovery back to stock?
My stock ROM backup is the original 5.0.1 firmware and updated with the LP5.1.1, anything 10j softbricks device and I need to flash the LP update to get it back.

Yes flashing Bootstack+Debloated_v4 work together ,(both are for v10j update)
What you mean anything v10j softbrick?
GT updated the v10j zip a few days ago adding the bootstack+preroot and Is that including my Stock Restore? If you go Stock Restore make sure to have the TWRP img file to flash while still in recovery cuz as soon you leave the recovery without flashing TWRP again youll loose TWRP and need PC to get back...
PS. Wipe Cache+Dalvik after flashing everything.

No, your bootloader will not be locked. There's a setting in developer options called "Enable OEM Unlock" which unlocks the bootloader. There's nothing I wrote in that post that suggests your bootloader will be locked. You will also keep root and twrp if you flash my v10J from that post.

You can flash this TWRP after going back to stock..
twrp-2.8.7.0-10j.img
Found here..
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=33154
TWRP Will flash an image. Just make sure you don't reboot after flashing stock stuff stay in the recovery you won't get back into TWRP if you reboot right away. Also find the supersu zip so you can root.

total noob here
can anyone give me a step by step on how to install stock firmware on the lg ms631 without using twrp? I see threads that say use LG Flash Tool, but it says to select 'CDMA' and this is a GSM phone, so I want to make sure I won't damage it. Thanks for any help you could give me.

Follow those directions, there's nothing wrong with them.

i tried this and ended up in an lg logo bootloop....tried to go into recovery on lg h631 and my only option is a factory reset on this phone... recovery wont even come up..tried that and only get a black screen....it turns off apparently....any help?

Update 6.0 mm full tmo & skinny debloated version

6.0 Marshmallow with insecure modded kernel and TWRP recovery​
This needs testing by someone else. It has been flashed on my own personal phone with no issues.
Requirements- Unlocked bootloader, Draken FX's Bootstack -the fixed version by Turbo2012 found in DrakenFX's thread for the flashable 6.0 update. Must be currently on an LG based ROM NOT CM. After install flash SuperSU install zip, post any issues. You will be able to ADB and Fastboot even if you can only boot splash screen with this kernel so you should be able to recover from almost anything multiple ways. When time allows I will put up a source built 6.0 along the lines of Game Theory's Katana ROM. Everybody is welcome to everything I post and I strongly encourage the young crowd to get involved, these phones don't support their selves.

Does that mean a fastboot oem unlock, or the OEM unlock in the developers tools. If you mean fastboot oem unlock, is that available once you flash stock MM, since it is not in LP?
PS - thank you very much for taking the time to pick this up. Back in the days of the Galaxy S1, I had a build environment setup, and a lot more knowledge (it is amazing that if you don't use it, you lose it), but I have a son now, so I don't have the time to invest in all the hobbies that I want anymore. I will definitely be a guinea pig for you. I am not actually aware of a way to brick the Metro or TMO versions of this phone since we have a kdz -- it is not possible to blow up firmware download mode.

@runningnak3d
I would prefer to be bootloader unlocked through fastboot oem unlock before doing any mods in 6.0. Every single time I did not I got secure boot error. If you make any system change on 6.0 with locked boot it will not boot.

Thank you for taking the time to do this.
:good::good:

So it's still not possible to update from Lollipop to rooted Marshmallow without unlocking the bootloader via fastboot? A secure boot error might as well be a brick to me. Oh well.

The main reason I made this was because I can never boot recovery or fastboot manually ( ex. w/hardware buttons) when you have the insecure kernel adb works when at the splash screen so it's easier to recover if you have any problems.

If you used Draken's guide to root and install TWRP on lollipop, your bootloader will be unlocked.

You only need a "soft" unlock (enable oem unlock in developer mode) to root / install TWRP on lolipop -- no PC required. MM however, requires a "hard" OEM unlock, and that requires a PC.

I am currently on lollipop rooted and TWRP installed off of Draken's guide. Do I need to do something else to the bootloader before I flash this ROM?

Yes, you have to unlock your bootloader with fastboot oem unlock. If you flash this without unlocking your bootloader you will get a secure boot error, and you will have to flash a KDZ and start all over.
Lolipop doesn't come with fastboot. So you have to follow Draken's thread to get stock MM on your device. There is NO other way. Once you have stock MM you can unlock your boot loader with fastboot. Once you have an unlocked boot loader -- THEN you can flash this if you want.

Waiting on the debloated version.

I can vouch for this. That's exactly what happened to me when I tried to flash this without unlocking the bootloader with fastboot. At least I finally managed to ship my device to LG for repairs today. I'll just chalk it up as another lesson learned.

You didn't need to ship it back to LG. Firmware download mode is always available (hold vol up while plugging in USB cable -- just vol up, not vol up + power). Continue holding vol up until FW DL mode displays). Then just use the LG flash tool to flash a KDZ. It is a PITA when you have to go back that far, but you can't brick these phones, not with software at least -- they would need to be physically altered

You sent your device in for a soft brick? You should set up the flash tool for our phone with a 10j.kdz before doing anything. Hope you get it back soon.

Debloated version
Fixing some force close problems on a debloated version now, should be up later today or tonight.

@runningnak3d
Flashing the KDZ seems easy enough. But how could I fix it without unrestricted access to a computer? And my stock charger is broken without a USB cable. I had no choice but to send it in for repairs. Guess I'll be stuck on Lollipop for a while longer, at least.

Can the bootloader be unlocked on the CDMA versions (ex. Boost, Sprint, Verizon)? If you can I will make a variant for it. But if you can't NO.
I just found out that the unlocked bootloader in 6.0 survives even the .kdz flashtool. So once you unlock your boot in 6.0 with fastboot oem unlock you never have to do it again even survived kdz downgrade to lollipop and update to 6.0 stayed unlocked.

Problem after flashing firmware and skipping Supersu

So recently I wanted to flash 20a via twrp on my G5 but it wasn't working. I reflashed 10i and my phone didn't want to boot up. So I decided to charge my phone after reflashing 10i once again without flashing supersu and I powered off the device and it turned back on with the "Your device is corrupt and it cannot be trusted sign" and so I tried to boot to recovery and my phone just factory reseted itself. I tried to boot into recovery with adb but to no avail. I even tried to flash 10d kdz and 10d tot both getting an error on LGUP and my phone is still stuck on firmware 10i. I even get an error when trying to update it with stock recovery. So now I have a phone with an unlocked boot loader and I cannot reroot again. Is there a way I can regain root? I knew I should have flashed supersu

I bet you didn't followed or read the 20a thread by autoprime nor did you bothered to read the TWRP thread as well. there's still a bug that prohibits you to downgrade from 20a unless you have a nandroid backup or a twrp recovery backup for the 10i. best option for now is to go back to 20a and wait for an update from the devs on fixing TWRP or try to follow the dirtycow method.

Look under the dev thread on autoprime topic about the stock N zips, if you read through last few pages you'll find all the links you need for recowvery to get root and twrp. Also if you're on 10i, why not just use lg up (make sure you either use older version or autoprime uppercut app) to flash 10D tot that already has twrp and then upgrade to stock 7 through twrp. Either way, all the info you need should be in last 3 pages of that thread by autoprime.
*** Edit ***
Just reread your post. If your getting errors flashing the 10D tot it's most likely due to you updating lg up, the .DLL, etc to install N. If so, uninstall lg up, and then download the lg up files and. DLL from the 10D thread. You can try uppercut app too as it's supposed to work between versions but I have not tested it myself. If all else fails then use the recowvery method.

Yeah not sure about uppercut. If you're still on 10i you should be fine using lgup to downgrade as long as you use the right version of lgup and h830 .DLL file. Also I'm not sure you can use refurbish option with kdz, but I know you can with tot. So maybe downgrade to 10D using tot and upgrade through twrp. If all else fails, use the recowvery steps on the above linked thread and you should be all good. Quick question, when you first start your phone, does it just show phone can not be checked for corruption or does it show the message can't be checked for corruption and visit this site... Etc. ? Reason I ask is the second message is updated bootloader and you won't be able to use lg up to flash MM firmware until you downgrade your bootloader.

Updated bootloader? I had no idea that was a problem. But since I'm on 20a i get the corruption message plus the link so O guess my bootloader is upgraded. How exactly DO you downgrade the bootloader?
I will mention that I'm stuck without twrp

Okay since you have an upgraded bootloader and no twrp you will have to follow the steps in that post for recowvery which will give you Root and twrp. Once you have twrp, download the bootloader zip for whichever version you're planning on downgrading to (I.e. 10I bootloader if flashing 10i kdz) from autoprime and flash in twrp. You can also flash the complete zip (i.e. 10I complete zip) in twrp after flashing the 10I bootloader if you want to keep root and twrp (you will also have to flash SuperSU after flashing those files). But you can also flash kdz or tot with lg up after downgrading bootloader via twrp but you will lose root and twrp unless you flash 10D rooted tot.

and download the bootloader zip and then boot into twrp and flash the bootloader zip. Then you can use lg up to flash kdz file or tot file. If you want to do everything from twrp and skip lg up step just download the complete zip from the 10J thread and flash in twrp after flashing bootloader, then if you want to keep twrp and root make sure after flashing bootloader and complete zip in twrp flash SuperSU before rebooting.

I don't think so but not 100% sure. If you follow the steps carefully you'll be fine. I didn't directly post the recowvery steps as I have not used this (I've had twrp and root since 10D). You can look on the v20 thread as it has a post for the v20 and our h830 recowvery method. Sorry I can't be more help with that specifically.

I don't think so but not 100% sure. If you follow the steps carefully you'll be fine. I didn't directly post the recowvery steps as I have not used this (I've had twrp and root since 10D).

T-Mobile LGV20 H91810j KDZ

have at it folks... grabbed from LG Bridge and updated from it as well... https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6Wj13Rw1kw-QTViRFJRaVRHQnM

Was just about to post this haha so here is a mirror if anyone needs it.

Can I upgrade from rooted 10d with this? Or do I have to update to 10i first, then 10j? Also what settings to choose in LG bridge?

If your using the image posted you can use LGUP, if your using LG Bridge it will download the image for you.
You need to be on a stock ROM I believe, I flashed the stock odexed rom. You can try it on a custom ROM though and see what happens.
If you want to use LGUP then you can download the above images.

What about stock recovery? Is that needed? If so how do I flash that?

It just overwrote trwp when I updated.

my upgrade steps were as follows:
backup anything you might need from the internal memory - /sdcard
backup anything you might need with TiBackup (just in case)
boot into TWRP and make a backup of /data
update to 10j via LG Bridge or LGUP (you will be returned to stock after this)
boot up and follow @jcadduono's post on rooting H91810d with recowvery
his detailed guide will leave you in TWRP with a freshly formatted and unencrypted /data
restore backup of /data in TWRP
done. profit.
NOTE: crucial you backup your /data in TWRP prior to updating because after updating your /data partition will be encrypted and you will no longer have root. once your /data partition is encrypted TWRP won't be able to see it. I believe you can still root with an encrypted /data where you'll then be able to use TiBackup to backup your data, but this method would be a slow restore versus restoring via TWRP.

Here's another mirror for those interested. All three files are in a ZIP since Android File Host doesn't play well with uploading KDZ files.

Can anyone extract the ing files and make them flashable so we can update through twrp? My hard drive went out last week so I can't update and keep root without doing it through twrp.

You just need to build the file tree and make a script to tell them where to go, I believe.
Or we could at the least flash a 10j based rom and then install the system img over it. Just need the extracted imgs from the kdz that way.

Um so after updating no more TWRP and still can root bit confused here?

updating and rebooting will revert you back to stock... you'll need to redo the steps for recowvery to install TWRP and root again... you'll also need to backup your device as you'll need to wipe /data to unencrypt

Can I just take the OTA to 10j and wont cause any bootloops? then just re-root?

Is this 10j rootable as 10i? Someone did it?

Has anyone got H91810j rooted? Yes? Link me to a source with walkthrough.
SW: H91810j
build: NRD90M
Kernel; 3.18.31
amdroid securitu patch 12.1.16
security software version MDF v.20 rls 4

Yes its possible to root the 10J patch. You need to do the commands manually.

I've ran the commands manually and I get confused about the .xml copy being put into local_manifests. I made the directory in my C: drive but Its a windows not linux computer I have access to. Does that matter?
So I get to the manual inputting part, right... And prompt says can not find file
at the first manual input of dirty cows command prompt

Just wanted to thank you, because you're a lifesaver. I bricked my phone (unfixable TWRP loop), and I tried downloading the KDZ several times from LG-firmwares, but it was extremely slow and always ended up failing. Then I found your Drive link, and approximately 9 hours after bricking the damn thing, I was finally able to fix it. Learned my lesson, too. I'll never again mess around with a new phone BEFORE acquiring any and all recovery tools, especially from a new manufacturer (I'm used to HTC).

Hi guys, in need of your help. I was originally on H91810D rooted and decided to try and install the OTA update not knowing that I would get stuck in a TWRP loop. I've downloaded H91810j KDZ file along with both LGUP and LG Bridge to try and flash the KDZ onto my phone, but neither UP or Bridge detects my phone connected to the PC, but Windows 10 detects that my phone is connected. I'm stuck sitting in TWRP and no matter what I try, it won't work. Any suggestions on what I can do to get through this? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Root Guide for Lg G5 Tmobile on 20i Nougat?

So I've been doing a little bit of research, trying to figure out how to root my phone. I read I needed to downgrade my Security patch to something lower than 20i. I can probably figure out how to root it if I had a guide to downgrade my phone. Anyway I thought I'd ask this amazing community for some help! Thanks guys!

Just follow the steps to flash 20a in that thread with LGUP. No other steps required. Just do a factory reset then flash 20a then root. If your phone is buggy after flashing 20a do another factory reset then root. After rooting you can follow the guide to flash 20i using TWRP.

thank you so much

I have previously tried to root after I went to 20l but wasn't successful. I read about how I needed to downgrade to 20a, then root. However, I had errors when I tried to install the 20a KDZ file with LGUP. My bootloader is unlocked. Does anyone know if you can successfully downgrade and root from 20l?

Update, I was successfully able to downgrade from 20l to 20a, root, then flash autoprime's 20l zip via TWRP. Here is the shortened version of the steps I used.
1. Turn off virus scanner
2. Have latest SU, No verify zip, and 20l flashable zip on SD card
3. Factory data reset on current version (was 20l)
4. Developer options enabled
5. Turn on USB Debugging
6. Plug in to computer, prompt comes up on phone, accept
Do all the steps to unlock the bootloader (mine was already unlocked since I previously tried to do this)
7. Run “Upper Cut” (after LGUP installed)
8. “Upgrade” with 20a KDZ
9. Now on 20a, fresh install, go back in and enable developer options
10. Turn on USB Debugging
11. Plug in to computer, prompt comes up on phone, accept
12. Use Minimal ADB and Fastboot to run all the commands from this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g5/development/root-h830-20a-nougat-lg-g5-hard-t3542496
13. While in TWRP, wipe data, install op sys, install SU and no verify zips.

Quick question, i am using t-mobile H83020i only GSM network, if i downgrade to 20a do i lose GSM unlock?
(I read a lot about people with that problem when downgrading)
