I am not responsible for anything that may happen to your phone as a result of installing this rom. You do so at your own risk and take responsibility upon yourself.
About:
The Stock ROMs posted here are extracted from official LG KDZ files for the T-Mobile LG G Pad X 8.0 | v521 | b3.
Only change made on ROM was to prevent stock recovery from restoring itself
ROM includes modem/radio, however you can also manually flash the modem/radio from here
root is NOT included. However feel free to flash your choice of root with Magisk, SuperSU, or any others at anytime to get root.
Info:
Android version: 7.0
Kernel version: 3.10.84
Build number: NRD90U
init.d support
forceencrypt disabled
Requirements:
Your device must be or have been on 20f or newer at one point or another. If your device has always been on Marshmallow and has never been updated to Nougat by kdz or OTA, you'll need to upgrade to Nougat and re-root first. (Thank to monkeyass408 for verifying)
You can follow this guide to do so: Guide to Update V521 LG GPAD X 8.0 to 7.0 and Root
You must have TWRP or another custom recovery already installed in order to flash this rom.
Instructions:
Download the version of your choice from below.
Boot into TWRP and make a backup. You may want to remove any lock screen security before doing this as restoring with lock screen may cause unexpected issues.
Optional: Wipe data and/or system. As of TWRP 3.1.1.0, you will want to reboot recovery after wiping data/system before flashing as TWRP may get stuck on a black screen during the flashing process without a reboot.
Flash ROM.
Optional: Flash the disable OTA zip to prevent and disable official LG OTA updates & notifications
Reboot and you should be all set.
Downloads: (Listed by Sofware version / Android security patch level)
Note: As of 2017-02-21, TWRP 3.0.2-0, will sometimes give the error "Failed to map file" when attempting to flash this rom. Rebooting TWRP will resolve it and allow you to flash the zip.

Disable Stock OTA
Note: This should prevent you from verifying and updating via OTA. The OTA notification may still pop up but it should go away when you attempt to update after flashing this. I haven't fully tested this so backup first and don't be surprised if it returns you to full stock.

Can this be flashed over marshmallow 10c? If so, what should be wiped? Thanks.

Yes you can flash this over Marshmallow v52110c. Technically a dirty flash (no wipe) would work fine but you never know so don't be surprised if issues spring up. After you flash the rom, since you're upgrading from Marshmallow, you'll want to update the radios too. The flashable zips for it can be found @ https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg...irmware-modem-flashable-modem-zips-t-t3564590. I'd recommend flashing the respective radio of the Nougat version you end up using.
so after I flash the 20g my 5ghz wifi keeps on disconnecting, same thing after flashing the 20g modem. wiped data as well. coming from official 20f rooted with dirtycow.
my 10 other devices are fine so it's not my router. not sure if it's an issue with the 20g, never had any issue with 20f

Hmmm I haven't had any issues with my 5ghz on my tablet. The roms are ripped straight out of the kdz files so any changes between 20g and 20f are strictly from LG/T-Mobile. Although I do recommend keeping the modem version and the rom version the same, I am curious, would you be able to test and see if it still happens if you downgrade the modem version to 20f while you're on the 20g rom?
Long overdue but added 20h, 20i, and 20j.
Decided to get rid of AROMA and root selection so any root method can be manually flashed afterwards.
Stock recovery shouldn't restore itself now. init.d support and forceencrypt is set to disabled by default since TWRP doesn't play along nicely with encrypt anyways.

Shouldn't need to do anything for LTE to work. Does it get signal at least? I would confirm the APN settings just to make sure they aren't missing for whatever reason.
Otherwise, try another version and see if it does the same thing. Although it shouldn't be the case, it's possible that the device may need to be kdz'd to Nougat first before a Nougat ROM works without any problems. That being said, I do remember being able to manually flash Nougat on my tablet from 10c with no issues back when I was on it.

I figured it out. I had to take 10c marsh to 20f nougat stock and rerooted +twrp in order for it to work. No longee had grayed out lte and apn and missing imei. Thanks for the reply.
Flashing straight 10c marsh to a nougat rom will always give me those errors. Same when tried with resurection remix.

Glad to hear it worked out for you. I stand corrected on it being flashed over Marshmallow so I've updated the first post to reflect that. Thanks for trying and verifying it.
Hello,
The V52120l_00_1201.kdz is OTA, so could you please make the lastest ROM base on V52120l_00_1201.kdz
thanks in advance
@ .fenrir: I appreciate all the work you've done on this and don't really need the monthly patches. Is there a way to disable ota download and notification on a rooted tablet?
Thanks.
20l has been added. I also realized on the older files I accidentally called the device 8.3 instead of 8.0 in the zip so that's been corrected now.

When rooted, you should be able to delete /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip which should prevent the device from verifying for the OTA. Afterwards if the OTA was already downloaded on the device, you can delete the OTA update file at /cache/update.zip . That SHOULD be enough to do it but I won't make any guarantees until I get a chance to test it as you would probably need to delete the other LGFOTA as well. I'll make a flashable zip for it later on if necessary/when I get a chance.

I have always had excellent battery life but after a dirty flash of v.l it is terrible. I am losing 30% overnight. Can I roll back to v.k? I am reluctant to clean flash v.l; it's a lot of work getting back to normal.

Quick question... I've been on Lineage, and have flashed this and gone back (to update the baseband). But, do you know off-hand, how do I easily root on this image? My BL is still unlocked and I've got TWRP reinstalled.
Thanks!
sry this is off subject but what is the latest modem update for the 900v or the best one in regards to best lte signal?

If you have TWRP installed, just flash a SuperSU zip (i.e. SuperSU 2.79 SR3) in recovery and you'll be rooted.
Unless of course you're talking about going back to Lineage and re-rooting. In that case, you'll have to use the Lineage root zip, which I don't have a link to.

It depends. It could be a .tar file you flash via Odin or it could be a flashable zip via TWRP. It depends on the maker of the file.
It's just the modem.bin file from the update. I don't have the time to make one for it right now.

On a side note, it seems like Verizon read the recent articles where the Galaxy S5 was still rated as the most popular smart phone being used on any network. Meaning, they are updating the phone monthly now, which is good news for us. We won't ever get Nougat but apparently we'll get Security Patches monthly now.

how do we flash this update , odin fails on md5 check

flashed the update but phone stuck on verizon logo.
did i do something wrong?
i would assume due to the fact that the bootloader is not its bootloader it froze/locked up , so heres my question if i flash the non dev friendly one , can that bootloader be unlocked or its better not to risk it?

Since there no tut regarding an unlocked version of this update I simply updated from bpb1 to qa1 , just needed my modem to be somewhat up to date , but it seems that it's def a tx rx issue in my case , so my best bet is a custom kernel with that feature included.

I didn't think a tutorial was necessary as I've never had to give one in the past. If your device is unlocked, you should know it. That's the only reason there is a Dev Friendly version of the update. It won't unlock your bootloader, but it won't lock it if it is unlocked. That's the only reason I make a Developer Bootloader Friendly version of updates.
If you want to update your modem but not the firmware, open either of the files in 7zip/WinZip, extract the modem.bin, then repackage it as a .tar file and flash it in Odin.

In regard to your previous post, there is no problem with the MD5 for either file or any problem with the files themselves. I test them both before uploading them to prevent problems like this for people. I flashed the Dev Friendly version on both of my eMMc 15 S5's and experienced zero problems. The phone will hang on the "Verizon logo" for a minute or two at first boot but it will go past it and continue to "Optimizing" after that.
If you flash the Stock version, if your bootloader is unlocked, it will lock it and in order to re-unlock it, you'll have to use jrkruse's unlock method which requires you to go back to PB1. As of this post, he has not created a QD1 bootloader unlocker. The latest bootloader unlocker he has created is for QC2, which still requires you to have an unlocked bootloader prior to flashing it.
EDIT: Also, if you use an app like Package Disabler Pro to disable applications without root, it can cause updates to hang indefinitely at first boot if you don't re-enable all disabled applications and turn off/remove Admin rights for Package Disabler Pro prior to updating. I've experienced this in the past with both of my S5's and my S7. I'm not directing this at you KazuDante, this is just a warning to all.

No. The Developer Bootloader Friendly version is just that, friendly to devices with a Developer Bootloader. Meaning it won't remove Developer Bootloader status/lock the bootloader.
If I had figured out a way to help all of the eMMc 11 people unlock their bootloader, I would've made a thread that clearly stated that.
I think the only way people with Toshiba eMMc's will get an unlocked bootloader is if either
A: Verizon provides an update to unlock the bootloaders on all S5's AFTER they stop putting out Security Updates, which is highly unlikely since it is Verizon, they've never done it before, and there's no end to Security Updates in sight.
B: Someone at Samsung or Verizon leaks an engineering bootloader. This is the most likely scenario since it's happened before. First, in my experience, with the VZW S3, and the latest being with the S7. There's still hope but it may rely on someone from within Verizon or Samsung feeling bad for us.
Sorry
@Dudash Any idea how to go from the Dev-friendly QD1 version you uploaded to a TWRP flashable zip file which resembles the jrkruse VZW_QA1_STOCK_ROOTED_DEODEXED.zip? I really like to debloat and root before flashing. Thanks!

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.

Along with the heads-up, it would be useful to provide me with some information, such as a screenshot of the update summary. I would be happy to compile those files into a working flashable ZIP as well.

So glad you posted these. Bricked my RS988 trying to install Xposed, and was going crazy trying to find an image for recovery.

No problem!
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

Important: This is for the LG G5 RS988 (US Carrier-Unlocked) model only!
This thread provides flashable ZIP files that can be installed via recovery on your RS988. Along with the ZIPs, I have also posted the raw .IMG files. Please read all directions before you attempt to flash any ZIP or IMG file.
21c:
Installation Directions:
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. I would be happy to compile those files into a working flashable ZIP as well.

Do you have TWRP on your phone? If so, you can flash the 21c COMPLETE .zip, which should work.

Hmm, glad it worked out in the end. Can you tell me the exact problem you had and the exact steps you took to fix it? Also, did anyone else have this problem?
Just did the same thing, did you get xposed installed ?
@Unscedeo Thanks a lot for your great job
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?

According to the Verizon Galaxy S5 Update Page:
Android® Security Patch Level: 2017–08-01
The current software update gives you the most up to date Android security patches on your device.

This is basically the same thing they are doing with other devices. Since Samsung never released their September Security patch due to them addressing the BlueBorne problem, they have been re-releasing the QH* updates as QI* but they include the BlueBorne patch. For some reason, Verizon didn't include the BlueBorne patch in the changelog like they have been for every other phone.
For example. The Galaxy S6, Galaxy S8, and Galaxy S8+ updates all say
Includes: Blueborne security patch
The current software update gives you the most up to date Android® security patches on your device.

Who knows why they chose to include the exact same changelog as the prior update with the same security patch. Whatever. Verizon sucks. We all know it.

Also, I'm not sure how much longer I'll be doing this though because the screen on my S5 is going bad (flickering and flashing green whenever I bring it out of sleep) so this weekend I'm getting an S8+.
so its safe to say that the new modem ql2 is pretty much the same sa the previous update?
Updated to this build from QH2, flashed in odin, then booted up, reflashed TWRP and SU, froze system updater all good. If you do end up leaving, this will just be another loss for this model as no one else is updating the stock images anymore.
Thank you for your work on this. Does this have root, and if not, do those of us with locked bootloaders have a way to keep root and safestrap?
Tell us how the S8+ goes and if you can unlock the bootloader and root that. Thanks again!

For the record, this loses root, and loses safestrap. I'm too dumb to know how to root this since I can't get TWRP on this phone, so I'm going to hope the way back to root and safestrap is get back Kitkat and then up to PB1 starting over using these steps.. This will probably be better for someone who knows what they're doing or just wants to upgrade for the security updates and doesn't care about root.

I have a 15 Emmc chip and unlocked the bootloader via this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve.../testers-required-easier-root-method-t3561529
I flashed EMMC_15_VZW_QB2_STOCK_MAGISK_ROOT.zip to my phone. I also have TWRP installed.
Now, if I understand all this correctly, I can simply flash your Developler Boatloader friendly version via TWRP? This will upgrade my OS to the latest update? Then flash Magisk to get root back?
This all seems too simple.
You will also have to re-flash TWRP via Odon.

I too followed the instructions in the thread above for a CID 15 eMMC.
I was unable to flash the "G900VVRU2DQI2_G900VVZW2DQI2_G900VVRU2DQI2_HOME_No_ Aboot.tar.md5.zip" from the OP using TWRP, but was able to do it no problem using Odin 3.12 (AP option).
After flashing that I then used Odin again (AP option) to flash the latest TWRP (https://dl.twrp.me/klte/twrp-3.1.1-0-klte.img.tar.html). I then did another factory reset on the phone (since I had already just wiped my data following the bootloader instructions) and reinstalled Magisk from TWRP and MagiskManager.
Everything looks great so far. Thanks for this update OP and for those of you providing guidance.
I have G900VVRU2DPD1 with unlocked bootloader and twrp 3.0.0-0.
Can I flash the
Developer Bootloader Friendly/No Aboot No-Wipe Firmware:
G900VVRU2DQI2_G900VVZW2DQI2_G900VVRU2DQI2_HOME_No_ Aboot.tar.md5.zip ?
If yes, after flashing, will my bootloader remain PD1 unlocked? Is it OK to have unlocked PD1 bootloader with DQI2 firmware?
Will the TWRP and root be lost? And how I can get back TWRP? Using ODIN? If root is lost then can not use flashify to flash TWRP.
If using odin to flash TWRP, then I can just flash supersu zip in zip to get root back, right?
Thanks.
I guess this is slightly off topic since it's not about this specific firmware version, but here goes ~
How do you guys go about extracting firmware/modems from stock ROM updates?? It boggles my mind lol. I'm running a OP3T now, but am working on an old device (and I still have my old S5 too). Over the years it appears people are now able to do this process for most devices and make it flashable one way or another.
I wish I understood how this gets done (and possibly figure out how to do it myself). Would love a guide / video / brief explanation with terms I could look up if it's long & involved??
Thanks for the work!

Stock ROM update is just a tar archive with files inside.
The names of the files are mostly self-explaining.
Use some tool to access the archive, like Total Commander or 7zip archiver.

Just pack what you want into tar archive and it will be flashable.
No need to attach checksum.
But it's possible too.
Say, this tar-file is flashable:

Can I reuse the same Magisk from the "EMMC_15_VZW_QB2_STOCK_MAGISK_ROOT.zip" file from the other thread on how to unlock bootloader and root, or should I download the latest Magisk and MagiskManager?
Edit 1: Okay, I installed Magisk after updating to the latest QI2 and am rooted. However, I found that I'm missing busybox and safestrap. Do I have to reinstall both of those as well or can I just reinstall busybox?
Also, QI2 lost tether/hotspot capability as it reverted back to asking to purchase the service (I'm also on the old grandfathered unlimited plan)...is there a way to get it back as when on rooted QB2?
Edit 2: Did some more research while hiding at work...so now I know, having TWRP recovery is enough and just need to reinstall busybox.
Now still need to find a way to get hotspot capability back like when on the rooted magisk QB2...
Thanks

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.
