Works great, was a fun night of figuring this out together glad it worked out! Everything is functioning properly!
Just remember when you first load into TWRP you will need to go to wipe > format data and type yes.
This will erase all data so be sure to backup all your personal files to your SD card using the phone before you format. Then proceed to use the above instructions!

I got it flashed successfully and can get to it but it's asking for a decrypt password. I never set one up, so I'm not sure what to do. I still tried to format but it gives an error about inability to mount.
Edit - even with the error, it still has me set up Android again but it still wants a decrypt password and I can't mount.

I got it figured out. I rebooted directly back to TWRP after formatting the data and it mounted.

Its normal. look at the other threads for twrp they always say to format the data after a reboot. Maybe add it to your tutorial thingy.
Edit: Thanks a lot guys its a lot more fun with root and TWRP. (>^.^)>

Thank you for this! Once my sata cables come in the mail and I get my Windows copy up and running on my second hard drive I need to create an ISO .img from the KDZ file you gave me. Need to get my phone back to stock, and im thankful you guys got TWRP working on this great phone.

Create a IMG from kdz? Don't you just use the kdz in lg up or something to reflash?

That sounds like allot less pain in the ass. Can you give me a quick breakdown of how to reset into stock using the KDZ. Dont need go type paragraps or anything just a brief summary this is all new to me.

Heres a tutorial. Its made for the aristo 1 but im sure it should work with the aristo 2. Use the lg up program.here
Just make sure to use the kdz made for the aristo 2 that you already have.
Forgot you may need uppercut aswell. here sometimes it gives a error which uppercut fixes.

Has anyone tried any other cameras with this phone? I was thinking of trying to flash CameraNext or SnapDragon but I've never tried either on a stock rom, so I'm not sure whether I'd bootloop.

I am trying to find good camera apps for this phone because the stock one is not that good. I will try those two that you have just posted.

I've tried finding other LG camera apps but none would work. Let me know how CameraNext works (if it does).
OpenCamera is giving me terrible quality.
Bacon Camera seems ok.
Google Camera is ok, but limited.
That's all I've tried. I know this camera should be capable of some good pictures.
Edit - I found an APK only install for CameraNextMod v10. This might be the best we can get with this camera unless the zip versions are compatible. Here's a link https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aLdiT1B2TcDFL0vfcmwYz6L7EdxqgFKj/view?usp=sharing

So, I just went back into TWRP for the first time since and it's still asking for a password to decrypt. I don't want to wipe everything again. Any ideas? Nothing is mounted and I can't mount without the password.

[TOOL] Mi Toolkit V4 (Root, TWRP + Stock Recovery, IMEI Backup)

Because Manu11 didn't update his thread about the toolkit. I decided to post this to help Mi 4i users that got into trouble with TWRP unable to flash dh.harald's CM12.1
FEATURES
-Root (MIUI only, CM users can enable Root in Developer Options) Working on MIUI7 (thanks to @ss.suryakant95 for testing this out)
-TWRP Recovery
-Stock Recovery (just in case)
-EFS (IMEI) Backup and Restore

DOWNLOAD
(Some users had problems unzipping this ZIP with WinRAR, consider using free alternatives such as 7-zip)
MAIN URL: Click here to download (Please use this download, but if in any case you can't extract, you may use the mirror I provided.)
MIRROR: Click here to download.
HOW-TO
1. Enable Developer Options (Tap MIUI version 7 times in About Phone), and then in Developer Options, enable USB debugging.
2. Have you downloaded the ZIP? No? Download it, now.
3. Extract the downloaded ZIP wherever you like, keep in mind that all files must be kept together.
4. Connect your phone to the PC.
5. Run the Start.bat file.
ATTENTION: Please do a ROOT (I'll assume you're still in MIUI) before you flash TWRP, or you may be brought back into stock recovery. (Thanks to @omerjerk for testing this)
---
UPDATE: This toolkit's TWRP is deprecated (download the newest version here), but if you don't want to hassle with downloading another fastboot driver, you can still download dh.harald's recovery .img file, and copy your downloaded recovery to the extracted toolkit folder, then change dh.harald's recovery filename into twrp.img (UNTESTED)
I'll repack this toolkit with dh.harald's newest TWRP whenever possible.
---
This toolkit is made by magdag, all credits goes to him.

I can't speak for magdag, the dev. So, this is literally the version that is usable for flashing TWRP.
I don't expect any official support for TWRP. And I prefer CWM, if there's one.

Backup everything (all partitions) except the first in the list.
You may want to use the compression.
The backup should be somewhere between 3.5GB and 5.5GB depending on the options and the data.
You could install ROM Manager (from Koushik Dutta) from the Play Store.
Choose the TWRP as recovery and Unknown Device as device.
Then you can use this to backup with TWRP and it will choose the right options for you.

Just Google it. Seriously. Or go to MIUI Forums and see the options you got there, there should be plenty of MIUI Fastboot ROM since 6.5.6

I've MiUi 6.6.10 on my device.
I used this toolkit to flash twrp but I'm not able to do so.
Whenever I select the 2 option, it flashes the recovery successfully. But, when I boot to recovery again using adb reboot recovery, I get the stock recovery and not twrp.
What I'm doing wrong ?
P.S. I haven't rooted the phone yet.

It worked after root.
I think it should be added in the main post that root is required.
Hi
Not able to restore stock recovery with the toolkit. I've tried to flash stock.img manually in fastboot., but not able to get into stock recovery even fastboot show succeeded.

The website does look suspicious, but the important part is that it links to Hashbang's AFH and he is a well known developer for this device.
If I have some time later today I'll make a backup and try flashing the cm14 rom.

Yep, no SIM. I could get through the setup, though.
Did you guys just flash the rom after wipe or did you do the additional instructions?
First flash the Moto X Pure CM14 ROM ZIP from device.
– Here is a post explaining how to flash a custom ROM using TWRP recovery.
After that flash the CM setup remover zip file using TWRP.
– Follow the same explanation how to flash a recovery flashable zip using TWRP recovery.
Then reboot into recovery (don’t skip this) and flash the CM14 Nougat Google Apps package.
– Here is a post explaining how to flash GApps using TWRP recovery.
Reboot and Enjoy the CyanogenMod 14 Nougat ROM on Moto X Pure.

Well, if you've successfully flashed CM14 and the modem doesn't work, why not flash the TruPure modem in case that does the trick? If there was a reasonable chance of bricking the phone by doing that then of course I wouldn't do it or recommend it, but my (uneducated) guess is that if it didn't work you'd still be able to boot into recovery and just wipe it away with the rest of the ROM when you installed or restored another ROM on the MPXE.

So I wiped everything, reflashed CM14, Gapps, etc, and then flashed the MM-Pure-OTA-Modem (w/ Band 12 Fix) from this forum.
Wiped caches, reboot. Still detects no SIM. Womp womp.
Anyone else have some ideas?

Well, as long as you're right there, pop the SIM and reinsert it? I know, seems like a long shot. By the way, what else works? Wi-fi? Bluetooth? Is external memory recognized? Any notable new features?

It seems like everything else is working! WiFi, Bluetooth, SD Adaptive Storage etc...
Popped the SIM out and popped it back in. Still nothing. Also to note that the official nightly for CM13 detects the SIM just fine, if that makes any difference.
Camera also not working besides the sim issue, had a whirl with it today. At least there is progress

NOTE
There are 2 versions for this recovery, SEMI-PERSISTENT & PERSISTENT.
1. Semi-Persistent Recovery
[Works on stock rom and custom rom] Not permanent, requires command in order to boot and needs to reflash it every time you need it and then reflash stock boot.img after using it in order to avoid bootloop.
2. Persistent Recovery
[Works only on custom rom] Permanent, you can boot on it anytime without a command and doesn't need to reflash it and stock boot.img.
Flashing TWRP Recovery
Downloads:
[SEMI-PERSISTENT] TWRP 3.2.1
[PERSISTENT] TWRP 3.2.1
1. You need to be rooted first. Root Guide: Magisk
2. Flash TWRP image (Download link above) using the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a pathtoimghere
and
Code:
fastboot flash boot_b pathtoimghere
Note: In this state, you will encounter bootloop when you restart your device and proceed to OS. So please, don't.
3. Boot to recovery using the button combination (VOLUME DOWN + POWER BUTTON).
4. Once you are booted in TWRP, you might notice that /date doesn't work. To fix it, you need to decrypt your phone.
For now, flash the vendor.img found here.
5. After step #4, Hit Wipe and Format Date on TWRP, type yes in the dialog, and then reboot to recovery (not system). TWRP will now be useful.
6. If you are on 10f or 10h stock rom download this TWRP then mount vendor and system, flash the zip through TWRP to enable semi-persistant.

Me (for the initial G7 TWRP device tree)
Rashed97 (for his great help to make me understand how recovery works on a/b devices)
Skullpluggery (for polishing the thread)
I hope i didn't forgot anyone , if i did im sry , hit me up and i will add you here.
Why is this TWRP semi persistent
So The g7 is a a/b device meaning it has 2 system paritions etc , but it doesnt have a recovery parition anymore so recovery is now a binary inside of boot.img which gets executed when hitting the button combo , but to have to you need to flash the boot.img containing it , and thats the point the boot.img containig twrp isnt compatible neither to aosp nor to stock meaning your phone would probably stuck in a bootloop or a reboot loop , so only thing we can do for now is flashing back our boot.img after were done with twrp, im working on it and i was able to smack twrp into the stock boot.img but it doesnt work correctly anymore then , I've finished my work on a variant that works without a pc needed
Persistance reached us , YAY
This is ONLY for AOSP OREO AND PIE flash this bootimage using fastboot flash boot_a pathtoimg or fastboot flash boot_b pathtoimg
Then TWRP will be always present no annoying flashes anymore
Can I flash normal zip files with recovery? because not everything is supposed to go.

can someone please tell me if i have the buttons before warning that the bootloader is unlocked or after the warning? it's about booting to recovery after flashing the recovery.img. Unfortunately, I did not manage it yesterday.
should you flash at step 4 the file on the recovery, or via adb sideload?
hello mate long time no chat lol thinking of getting the g7 got one plus 6 at min will the fix for the one plus that makes the recovery stick work on this ?
will the error be corrected over time? because after the first reboot into the system the recovery disappeared again. I would like to boot again into recovery after being in the system, it no longer exists. I followed everything according to instructions

Great to know development is picking up on this device. Waiting for supplies to hit the rest of the world so I can get an European variant. ** Thumbs Up **
stupid question but does the locked bootloader on usa versions disallow booting unsigned images over "fastboot boot" command also?
just got a g7 what we going to cook up this year

Hi.
As a developer, do you think it is possible enable HDMI out via kernel update?

Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite got messed up
Hi there!
I have just received my new Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite phone and wanted to pass all of my data from my old phone to it in a way that it was required to be rooted.
KingRoot didn't work on this new phone, so I unlocked bootloader and tried to install TWRP recovery on my phone.
Installing to the recovery partition did not work. I searched the error it gave me and found a thread saying that flashing it to the boot partition worked for them. So I did. Next thing that happened is that my phone did not boot into the OS (operating system) ever again. It only booted TWRP.
I have since been able to remove TWRP (though I made a back up of it) but the phone still stays on just the loading part before going to the OS.
I have since been able to get back the fastboot and stock recovery, but the phone will not start into the OS anymore.
How can I fix this?
I have been searching for ways to restore my android to the 8.1 Oreo version that it was.
Can I do it with this Tool All In One? Please help! Thank you in advance!! Much appreciated!!
hello
i have unlocked bootloader and wait for TWRP and want to root my phone.
Can I flash TWRP and root with this tool easy? And will I lost all data if do that?

I would suggest using the root method mentioned here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/guide-install-magisk-proper-support-ota-t3836952
Twrp does not have good results for most people.
With this method I will lost all data on my phone and I do not want to setup phone 1 more time. Twice was just enough
I know that already but thank you anyway

If your bootloader is unlocked, you should not lose any data just installing magisk
Yes...my fault. My BL is unlocked already.
But I posted in that thread...because of some reason does not work. But this is not thread about it
Thanks for help
So...Installed TWRP but does not recognize anything in internal storage. Not recognize SD card.
When boot again to TWRP goes to "something"...some kind of empty stock recovery with android logo and nothing more.
Oh man...that will be interesting ride...to put TWRP or root device

Because your not supposed to install the twrp image just boot from it and if you do install it then you have to flash the original boot image for which ever 8.1 update your on to get rid of it.
This is explained on the team win page for daisy wish i had read that first after re flashing my os twice and boot image once trying to install this am just using the phone as is for now until i get the urge to try again

oops sorry i should check what thread this is before trying to answer a question i blame alcohol .
Thing is there are posts out on the net that advices people with the a2 lite to install the twrp image to their inactive slot and not to just boot it and that's where things seem to start going wrong.
This has absolutely nothing to do with this tool and sorry i just dived in here and confused people.
maybe some kind passing mod will get rid of the post apologies again

Tested Working on A750F, A750FN, A750G and A750GN - 22/03/20
This Guide is outdated now..
It "ONLY" works on the initial One UI 2 update that started rolling out in March 2020
It has issues on the june patch. So "DO NOT" report bugs if you are on the june patch.​
Use this at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damage that may happen to your device.
Make sure to have the official firmware downloaded for your device in case anything goes wrong.
This will void your warranty
This will also trip the knox counter.​
Installation Guide
1. Unlock The bootloader
2. Boot into download mode
3. Using Odin, Flash Magisk_patched_boot.tar in the "AP" Slot.
4. Reboot download and flash Twrp recovery using odin in AP slot.
5. Reboot to TWRP and "FORMAT" , not wipe the data.
6. Flash Magisk-v20.3.zip
7. Reboot to download and flash Officialrecovery.tar in "AP" slot.
8. Reboot your device.
DOWNLOADS
Magisk Boot Img - http://www.mediafire.com/file/m9dwiww6i492xl6/Magisk_patched_boot.tar/file
Official recovery - http://www.mediafire.com/file/nhrj8060rbv43rm/Officialrecovery.tar/file
Notes:
1. Only Magisk v20.3 is tested, other versions may/may not work. Report if other versionswork, I will update OP.
2.This "WILL NOT" install Twrp on your device as Twrp is not updated and it will cause bootloops.
3. Failing to follow and steps mentioned above, you will end up in a bootloop.

You did not give a link to which TWRP version you used. So just asking.

I downloaded the Indian version and installed it on an a750 FN and it works ....
I will keep trying more things
good job
Delete
The Root works perfectly on the A750G/DS, the only thing that does not work properly is the TWRP, does not recognize the internal memory, only recognizes the SD card
PD... An Official Recovery query is only for version F and GN or also works in G/DS versions
how could I return my battery at the original state? Im having fast drain ..

This happens when you don't flash magisk zip file, did u flash that after installing twrp? And after that did u install stock recovery? Try this, if it does not work, start from scratch again.

I guess I'll be staying at Android Pie for now. I think I'll be waiting for other alternatives that doesn't boot into download mode when restarted. Somehow, I thank you for sharing info on how to root Samsung Galaxy A7 2018.
