HOW TO PROPERLY INSTALL TWRP on [LG G7 ThinQ] "LM-G710AWM" (Judyln)? - LG G7 ThinQ Questions & Answers

Ok so after following a few guides to unlock bootloader on my LM-G710 (Judyln), now I want to PROPERLY install TWRP, with full access to all partitions so I can flash a custom ROM.
I can now root with Majisk.
It seems I can only install TWRP using Majisk Manager apk, if I use QFIL or fastboot (after deleting lafs) to flash TWRP I get bootloops.
I've followed this guide for TWRP and DM Verity/Disableforceencryption:

And this is the main guide I followed to unlock bootloader:

I'm having issues with TWRP not able to do anything in terms of mounting internal storage.
Also the 'system' partition is missing.
It can't mount anything, internal storage shows 0mb, and I can't wipe or flash anything!
I'm at the step in the first guide where I'm supposed to format data after flashing DM-VERITY where I get errors, it fails and I get a TON OF ERRORS
(The guide says its normal to get ONE error 'unable to unmount vendor' upon flashing DM-VERITY)
Also, a big red flag that I noticed is when loading TWRP for the first time, its supposed to ask me permission to swipe to 'allow system modifications', which didn't happen in my case.
So I think its something to do with LG and I've confirmed the bootloader is unlocked by going into fastboot.
Now when booting into fastboot (after deleting lafs) I got two different fastboot screens in different circumstances, one had red text which says 'unlocked', the other had green/blue text with instructions how to unlock bootloader.
(TWRP partition log below).
Please help! This is driving me crazy and I spent days on this phone!

Glad to see so many people willing to help...:/

Ok so I don't think TWRP has access to system modifications, because it doesn't ask me to allow system modifications when loading TWRP like it should. Can't proceed!

Okay you duplicated but if ya need help ill be here.

Ok thanks, I'll make sure I don't duplicate in the future, I appreciate the heads up.
So my biggest issue here is I don't seem to be able to format any partitions within TWRP for some reason, I confirmed the bootloader is unlocked by [ a) device fastboot screen, b) developer options c) fastboot command]
However, in TWRP when I proceed switch slots (a or b) it says 'failed' but when I return to the TWRP reboot menu it lists the slot I tried to change to, so is it the version of TWRP I am using is just broken and I should try another one?
Problem is there's no official TWRP for my model.

I got the same model as you i just gave up installing twrp to this device bcs encrypted storage and no bootloader fastboot access with volume down button

Yeah I gave up too, I turned to somebody who might be able to do it.
LG locks their phones so people won't uninstall their apps, and this model is quite a doozy!

Just take off your password or pin.
Data is encrypted usually when you have a lock screen password.

The best way you can set the TWRP Boot image location is to manually "drag and drop" the file itself in your command prompt
Also make sure you "drag and drop" the TWRP Boot image before you type --set=active=a
Don't forget --set-active=a has 2 little lines at the beginning. No space between them.
Step 3: Enter Recovery mode
Restart the phone (using power button if you're still in fastboot)
Before the phone turns off hold Volume down and power button
The moment you see the black and white "LG G7 ThinQ" Text start clicking the power button as much as you can without letting the Volume down button.
If done correctly you should see a white screen with "Factory reset" text on top.
If you done step 2 correctly clicking yes on both prompts on the phone will get you to TWRP
For people who still have trouble getting into recovery mode here's a visual example of how to enter recovery mode (youtube)
Note: You don't have to be in system. Rebooting from bootloader will still work

for newer android system vendor is encrypted by default with or without password/lockscreen, even when I can boot up to twrp and able to format system to install dm verity disabler you can't use stock firmware anymore and this AWM canadian model is pain in the arse because you cant just enter bootloader mode with button combination the culprit is because bootloader partition doesnt exist the only way is to trigger it using lg v35 boot.img

So there no hope for this model? What about this guide: https://androidbiits.com/root-lg-g7-thinq-lmg710awm-lm-g710awm-easily/. I guess that's just a quick guide for rooting not really addressing OP's desire to have TWRP installed.

Device: Lenovo Tab3 7 Tablet - TB3-730X
Do not flash this on TB3-730F. The F model has different chipset and this recovery will softbrick it.
@sun_dream reported that 730F is working. So you can probably flash it, but be prepared with OFW, in case something goes wrong.
Instructions:
IMPORTANT: read all instructions at least once, before starting.
Note: If you're are a newbie, you can read more detailed instructions by honzazkrumlova here
- Download from link below.
- Enable "USB debugging" from developer options.
- Enable "OEM Unlocking" from developer options.
- Reboot device in Fastboot Mode (Bootloader mode), either with "adb reboot bootloader" or with VolDown+Power, to enter Recovery mode and then select "Reboot into bootloader"
- Unlock the bootloader with "fastboot flashing unlock" or "fastboot oem unlock" and follow the instructions on the tablet. (WARNING: This will erase all your data - Factory Reset)
- Once unlocked, you can use "fastboot boot TWRP_3.0.2_Lenovo_TB3-730X_Android-6.0_recovery.img" to start TWRP.
- When TWRP ask to modify system partition, answer "NO". Otherwise you will soft-brick your device and you will have to flash the original firmware and start from the beginning.
- If you want root - flash SuperSU, or as the user @Kellicros reported, you can flash Magisk 11.1.
- If you want XPosed, get it here.
- If you want to permanently flash the recovery, use "fastboot flash recovery TWRP_3.0.2_Lenovo_TB3-730X_Android-6.0_recovery.img".
- If you use it on any other Lenovo Tab3 7 device, please post the model.
- Thanks is always welcome.

Hello
I have the same tablet (TB3-730X) and I tried this recovery, but something I did wrong.
Recovery by my works without problems, but now I can no longer boot into the system, I probably deleted it ...
After restarting the tablet always I return to Recovery and you can not flash the firmware because they can not find a version of the 730X (MTK MT8735P)
Can I use the firmware version for TB3-710 or 730F (MTK MT8161P)
Thanks for any advice, and thanks for Recovery.)

Hi.
When TWRP is started for the first time, it asks to modify the system partition.
I answered NO, NEVER. I saw some posts about other MTK devices and other people seems to have problems like yours when TWRP modify the system partition.
Is this your case?
If yes, then you need to download the original firmware and flash it on the device. After that you need to flash the recovery again.
I've downloaded the original firmware from Russian forum (this post: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=731493&st=20#entry52434543). Here is direct link: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/Fjd9/u7e8mUbhq )
This is the last TB3-730X firmware. Do not try 710 firmwares, they should not work and it is probably dangerous to flash it. I dont know for 730F, this one could work, but anyway, download the the 730X firmware from the link above.
I guess you will need the SPFlash Tool to flash the firmware.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for the link ...
so probably it is my case that TWRP modify the system partition ... try this firmware and send the result ..
Thanks again for your help, I appreciate it.
I can confirm that Tab3 730x is checking if even TWRP is running (fastboot boot twrp.bin) and delete/modify system partition. TWRP not ask for modify system partition after first boot. Tablet stay on Lenovo logo forever. My firmware version is TB3-730X_S030_160509_ROW. Also in my model is not possible to read/write flash by FlashTool. I always get error 0x7D4, no matter what version I use, even after unlock bootloader. I have also try descibed firmware TB3-730X_S033_160707_ROW but this one cannot be flashed in fastboot mode. It says wrong binary (all files have in name _signed so probably different structure). It's seems that Polish Tab3 tb3-730X tablets are better protected than Russian.
0xAF can You post link to FlashTool what you used to flash your tablet?
[EDIT]
This time i get it working 0xAF are you mean first screen when TWRP start and there is swipe button? I Always swipe and this killed system partition I think. Btw do you both can flash this tablet with FlashTool?

When you start the TWRP for the first time, it will ask to do something on system partition. I cannot remember if it was "Yes/No" answer, or a swipe. Just don't let TWRP touch the system partition.
After unlocking the bootloader with fastboot, you can flash the recovery with fastboot if you want, but first try to boot it, as described in the first post.
If you're going to flash the original firmware from the links above, then you will need SPFlash Tool, because the images (dumps) are made with SPFlash Tool and you cannot directly flash them with fastboot.
For bootloader unlocking, you can try this command: "fastboot oem unlock", while you're in the bootloader.
Did you enabled the "OEM Unlocking" from the "Developer Options" menu?
On my device, I was able to unlock it (after enabling "OEM Unlocking" option) with "fastboot flashing unlock".
"I have also try descibed firmware TB3-730X_S033_160707_ROW but this one cannot be flashed in fastboot mode. "
not to flash, always ends with an error 0x7D4 .....

Thanks. Now all working I just swipe button thinking that is locking button.
About flashing problem. I cannot flash with FlashTool because I have 0x7D4 error, same as beldy. I have try different cables, 3 computer, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 - same.
I have unlocked bootloader with "fastboot oem unlock". Without it TWRP cannot be installer or booted. Before I enabled "OEM Unlocking" from the "Developer Options" menu. After it, phone format byself but still cannot flash.
I killed pcs one and send to service. Tablet cannot go into recovery. When it back I see some scratches on cover, like was opened. Maybe they used TestPoint to fix it.

I'm glad you've solved the problem. I dont know what is 0x7D4 error. It could be some sort of extra locking of the device, but I doubt it. It's more likely to be something related to SPFlash Tools. It could be also a broken firmware, I haven't tried to flash the firmware from the links I've provided. I only used the Original Firmware to extract the original recovery from there. I needed the original kernel from the recovery to be able to start the TWRP.
A fast look in google gives this:
Error 0×7D4
Message: BROM ERROR: S_BROM_DOWNLOAD_DA_FAIL
Meaning: SP Flash tool encountered an error writing to the phone
Solution
* Try using a different USB cord, PC port and PC
* Use the latest version of SP flash tool
* Ensure the battery is well charged and the phone's USB port isn't faulty

Just try to read flash, it's safe. I can bet You will get error 0x7D4 or 2004 (depend of version of flashtool). It's extra locked for sure. Btw. why You need original recovery to start TWRP? Maybe You mean that You need it to compile TWRP for this tablet model?

The easiest way to port TWRP is to get it from another device with the same chipset and cpu. I did not wanted to prepare a toolchain/crosscompiler and start from the beginning to compile TWRP. So I took a TWRP from another tablet (DOOGEE_X6pro_Android6.0_20160707). Since it has a recent version of TWRP and is compiled for android 6.
Then all you need is to replace the kernel in this recovery, so we are booting with the kernel for our device. I needed the kernel from our original recovery for that. Then I've touched some files inside the recovery, fixed the fstab and default.prop and repackaged the recovery image.
This is the easiest way to port the recovery IMO. Took me 15-20 mins with all the testing.
This procedure work for any recovery, not only TWRP.
I guess, I could have dumped the original recovery from the device, but since I was looking for custom recovery for some time, I found the dump in the russian forum and downloaded it. So when I decided to port TWRP, I already had the recovery from the dump.
Thanks for info Any link to step by step how to replace kernet, what data change?

I saw this video and decided to follow the steps.
You will need some intuition about the files you need to change inside the new recovery, as the video shows that only the fstab is needed, but you need more files, like default.prop and some other device dependent files from the original recovery (mostly in root folder).
In this recovery, I've used the default.prop from the original recovery.
As for the fstab, you will need to convert it by hand to a format understandable by TWRP. I've used the TWRP fstab file from the other device (from which I took the recovery in first place) and adopted it to our device. IIRC, almost nothing had to be changed.
I've copied some other device dependent files from the original recovery too.
Since I'm on linux, I've used these tools:
https://github.com/osm0sis/Android-Image-Kitchen.git
https://github.com/osm0sis/mkbootfs/
https://github.com/osm0sis/mkbootimg/
The tools are also available for windows (as the video shows) and for android itself (I believe the CF-SuperSU uses them on android to repack the boot.img).
These tools can repack recovery.img and boot.img.
Many thanks!

yes bootloader is unlocked by command fastboot oem unlock...
It managed to someone already listed above to flash firmware in fastboot mode?
When you turn on the tablet remains lit Lenovo logo, and that's the end ...
Tablet can not even charged because, in the power cable connection tablet immediately turn on and loading TWRP or Lenovo logo screen
I am not progressed and I would appreciate if someone added original recovery or something what my tablet to function again

Hi.
I'll make a dump of my system partition and post a link.
Unfortunately my system partition is not like in the original from the OTA ROM.
I've patched it with xposed and removed some ****ty apps from the OTA ROM.
Meanwhile if someone have OTA ROM, I would appreciate a link.
(you could try asking the Lenovo support for the OTA ROM).

This is guide to root and install twrp on lg g5 T-Mobile using recowvery method.
Read 4th post before proceeding​This method is to root & install TWRP on only T-Mobile LG G5 running Nougat 20a software. If your phone isn't on 20a then first downgrade/upgrade to 20a software.
Before asking a question, first, see FAQ in 3rd post. In that way you can save a lot of time.
For Video Guide refer to 5th Post
You need to disable antivirus before extracting files. Because we are using DirtyCow vulnerability here. Which is technically a virus (It's not dangerous for pc but for exploiting android to get root access). If you can't disable AV then don't proceed because process will not work
Download:​1: Recowvery (2nd post)
2: Minimal adb (2nd post)
3: TWRP
A: H830 | For H850 (Refer to this Post and read carefully)
[Download TWRP 3.0.2 as 3.1.0 is having some little issues with flashing with autorecowvery] Always download latest TWRP available for your device to avoid most issues.
(rename it to recovery.img)

Procedure:​Drivers should be installed. Also install minimal ADB and fastboot.
1: Make sure to unlock bootloader. Backup internal data because it will be erased.
A: First enable developer options and toggle “Enable OEM unlock” to ON. Also enable “USB Debugging”.
B: Run Minimal ADB and Fastboot. Enter Command
Code:
adb devices
C: You will see permission dialogue on phone. Tick “Always allow” and ok.
D: Now enter.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
E: Now phone be in fastboot mode. Enter
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
F: This will wipe all data on internal storage. Now Enter
Code:
fastboot reboot
G: Now OS will get booted. Bootloader will be unlocked but phone should be in factory reset condition. So again enable “USB Debugging”.
THEN​
2: Connect phone with pc in MTP mode and copy recovery.img to phone’s internal storage (Make sure to select MTP as always to avoid problem during procedure). Extract recowvery software. (If it causes permission problems extract it to USB device and perform process from there)
3: Run “EasyRecowvery.cmd”. Press “5” -->Enter then press “7” -->Enter to disable integrity check. Then enter “0” to go back. Skip it if you are using Recowvery G5 modified.
4: Now press “2” and wait until it says warning. Press “y” -->Enter. (It won't say warning in Recowvery G5 modified)
5: It will do rest process. After Flashing TWRP it will flash “no-opt-encrypt” (This is most important to save twrp from being removed by OS)
6: Phone will boot into TWRP. Here on phone it will ask for decrypt code. Cancel it. Swipe to allow modification.
7: On pc press any key, the flashing process on phone will automatically get started. Then it will reboot into OS.
8: To flash supersu, select option 3 from recowvery windows and phone will boot into twrp. Same as step 5-6 it will automatically flash supersu.
Now Your rooted and have twrp install.
Note: For removing Encryption.
To flash a custom rom and remove encryption in twrp, you need to once format data in twrp else you won’t be able to wipe and install any custom rom in your phone.

Recowvery G5 modified is fully working, so you can try it.
I'm still keeping easyrecowvery 1.3 in this thread as a backup plan.
Read Read Read Before using This
Test Version --> Ricksy-Recowvery | Mirror
(Ricksy Recowvery is streamlined, checks free version of EasyRecowvery. It has no unlock checks, no model verification so use it only if you're fully sured about what you're doing. It includes but isn't limited to unlocked bootloader, USB Debugging Enabled, Being on V20a firmware, LG Drivers installed, PC allowed as Trusted in USB Debugging as always)
Remember to copy latest TWRP to root of internal storage as recovery.img before proceeding.
Old Test
There is also Addition of Recowvery G5 modified 2.0 Test version as well (This script has some additional features)
(I have also turned off most security checks, so you should have an more easy rooting experience. However, this increase risk of bricking device if you do not read things properly). If you can provide your experience of using this script please share your knowledge.

FAQ​
Recowvery tool is causing permission errors when I run it through computer's internal HDD storage. What shall I do?
Ans: There are possibly 2 workarounds for that.
A: Extract the zip to external USB storage and Run the tool.
B: Change the name of folder, in which recowvery tool is, to "1" and copy to root of storage e.g. "Computer:\D:\1".
Can I re-lock my bootloader after rooting and TWRP flashing?
Ans: No, as recovery partition modified now, this will brick your device.
Can I use V20C or later on my phone after rooting and flashing TWRP?
And: You can't take OTA after rooting as this might create a brick but fortunately @autoprime created TWRP flashable zips of firmwares e.g 20c,20f,20i and he might create newer builds too. Anyways here's the Auto Prime's thread, Go to "LG G5 Files" link and download file as per your variant and choice.
I bricked my phone after following this guide and now I can access only download mode, what shall I do now?
I'm on other version than 20a, What shall I do?
Ans: Really? It seems like you're kidding because this guide can never harm your device, It can either do it's work or not but there is no way for it to brick a device (Unless you don't read carefully).
Ans: You can take your phone back to v20a by using the following guide.
Anyways​You can always bring your phone back to life by following this Back to Life thread.
How to remove encryption in TWRP? or I'm unable to access my phone's internal storage from TWRP, What shall I do?
Ans: So for this process.
a: Boot into twrp.
(you can boot to TWRP by any app or by vol- and power button combination or from option “5” --> “5” in recowvery toolkit (command window).
b: In TWRP, cancel code Windows, Swipe to allow modification then
Click -->Wipe-->Format Data-->type “yes”-->enter.
You need to do this only once. After that you can flash roms and zips unlimited times.
Will this root method work on 20c/d/e/f or others?
Well, it shouldn't. Because I tried this on 20c and it never worked, so I believe it will not work on any software other than 20a because LG removed that exploit to root after 20a. But you can try your luck and tell me if you succeed.
a: Thanks a lot i have one lg g5 h830 and i have some fear to lose the unlocking and i want to modify the phone.
b: Same i have anyone please answer it will i lost the UNLOCKING (Modified by shopkeeper) if i FLASH another ROM?
What are you people trying to ask here?
Bootloader Unlock:
Bootloader can be locked and unlocked anytime you can to do so just by typing commands in fastboot mode. In T-Mobile G5 the fastboot mode do not accept flash command that's why we can only lock and unlock bootloader.
TWRP:
As commands are limited in fastboot mode of T-Mobile G5, we are unable to flash twrp through fastboot mode. So, for this process we rely vulnerability found in G5 firmware. The only currently found method for doing so is by using dirtycow exploit to flash TWRP on H830. Only V20a contains this vulnerability to do so.
Summary:
So to flash TWRP and enjoy freedom of using custom rom (Which I suppose you refer as Unlock to) you need to be on V20a. Which can be flashed easily through LGUP with Uppercut or use my LG FlashTool method (Link in FAQ section). When on V20a firmware simply use this or your preferred method for flashing TWRP.
If you want to go back to stock, simply flash any stock KDZ and lock bootloader. If you want to get TWRP again, simply unlock bootloader and flash V20a kdz (or flash V20a kdz and unlock bootloader) then instal TWRP by using the process.
Important:
Currently our stock firmwares are running Anti-Rollback (ARB 01), LG can increment this whenever they want, whenever LG increase ARB to 02 or upper then you won't be able to get back to ARB 01 firmwares (e.g V20a ) again. Which means you can unlock bootloader but won't be able to flash TWRP as dirtycow is patched after 20a. So you will lose the ability to flash TWRP which means unlocked bootloader is useless unless someone finds another method of flashing TWRP.
So, if you want to stay unlocked, then make sure to install TWRP as described above and flash latest TWRP flashable stock base zips or use other roms like Fulmics or AOSP based. It's very simple and easy .

Nougat v20a only as the thread title says.
I had to extract to a USB device to get recowvery to work but it went smoothly from there, until I got to TWRP to flash the no verity zip. It hung on hit any key to continue, it didn't dawn on me till later I should have mounted USB storage (derp), but I already had the no verity zip and SuperSU on my external SD so I just flashed them manually, booted, and had root. Then I formatted data, lost root, and flashed SuperSU again to get it back. I later flashed @autoprime 20c zip with SuperSU and now I'm rooted with TWRP on 20c, tyvm for the tutorial

First of all you welcome, 2nd thanks for writing about your experience.
I am not completely assured but to make recowvery work in internal hard drive you need to change the name of recowvery folder to "1". Next time whenever you root try this method and let me know wether it worked...
And as you mentioned about having difficulty in flashing no verity. I think this issue is happening only on TWRP 3.1.0, on TWRP 3.0.1 it works fine, i think .
Does this method work with the latest update to 20f? Can I just try it without bricking my phone?

Thanks, I'll try that next time. I did use TWRP 3.0.1 though, but I'm thinking that without mounting USB storage, perhaps the verity zip couldn't be found to be flashed.
This worked perfectly!! Thank you so much again! I had to extract the recowvery to a usb stick and run it from there (it wouldn't run properly from the computer hd) and at first I got an error as I had put the recovery.img on the external phone sd. My bad. Anyway... I just copied it over to the phone sd and started over, and it worked exactly as explained in the OP.
AWESOME effort by everyone involved. XDA rules!
Btw... can I relock the bootloader now? And one more thing... I turned off "automatic system updates" in developer mode. I assume if I update to v20c or newer I will lose root? And I guess I should not update the supersu either?
Thanks again! You rock!!

As you installed TWRP, so recovery partition is modified which means if you relock bootloader, you will brick your device.
Also if you want to use V20c check @autoprime's thread for the TWRP flashable zip of V20c or later (if there any).
And if you want to update supersu you can do it either by newest supersu zip to flash it through TWRP or by updating it through playstore then update binary through supersu it self, but I think updating supersu mostly changes nothing.

Ok. Thanks for all the info. I think I will keep the v20a with the current supersu. It works perfectly! Hopefully it will not "automatically update between 23:00 and 04:00" as it says in "about phone/update center/system updates". From what I understand, it shouldn't as long as I have the "automatic system updates" set to OFF in developer options.
How can I boot into TWRP? When I reboot and try to enter TWRP I always end up in the hard reset menu where it asks if I want to wipe the phone... Do I have to boot into TWRP through ADB fastboot?

When you boot to recovery through hardware key combination, say yes through hardware keys twice (as you want to reset), it will take you to TWRP, thats the logic from lg g2

He is absolutely correct. That's exactly what I did on my H830 yesterday.
Keep up the great work people......
Got it after a few attempts
Thanks for the step by step. It is a good walkthrough for a tough device. With all the previous complicated, and sometimes confusing/conflicting, instructions in other (older) threads for the H830 I was nervous to try.
I struggled a little getting it to work; 1) .cmd returned "don't have permission to create log or backup files..." when running from my "documents" directory, had to run it in a root folder. 2) I got the wrong TWRP version at first and the process said success, but never made it to TWRP.
It was the most challenging of any device I have owned to get root, but happy to crack it. Thanks!
root 20f?

Well, it shouldn't. Because I tried this on 20c and it never worked, so I believe it will not work on any software other than 20a. But you can try your luck and tell me if you succeed.
Salam bro,I followed your method and rooted the phone,after rooting I wiped system, data and cache so I could flash fulmics 2(based on v20c) which I had already downloaded,it flashed successfully but after booting on startup screen there's this popup error"settings keep closing " because of which I can't do anything so can u please tell me where did I go wrong,should I have wiped the system or not?

BlackView BV9600 Pro + LineageOS?

Hi! Could you please explain if this ROM will be compatible with my smartphone? I'm not sure, I don't found it on the list on LineageOS website.
Well, someone need to compile it for our bv9600 - i also would appreciate it, but i don't have thoose skills...
Also, lenovo vibe c2
i am not even not able to root my device (blackview bv9600 pro) i don't think that you will be able to have any lineage rom also...
have anyone success to root this device?

simply follow this guide -> LINK
- allow OEM unlock in the dev-settings (hit 5 times build number to see)
- allow usb debugging
- reboot to fastboot
- send "fastboot devices" command
- send "fastboot oem unlock" -> acknowledge
- send "fastboot flashing unlock" -> acknowledge
- flash the twrp image "fastboot flash recovery name_of_the_image.img"
- reboot into twrp by power of the device
- after that press vol+ up and power button (if i remember correct.. ) to get into twrp
- now u need a sd-card (micro) put no verity opt encrypt on it and magisk
- Backup all partitions u find.
- format data partition to get the size
- install magisk
- install no verity opt...
reboot
BV9600 should be rooted. Took me serveral times to get it working, because u need directly after "Flashing unlock command" to get the twrp stuff done.

exact same version.
---------- Post added at 10:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------
First u need to go to fastboot mode, to unlock "OEM UNLOCK"
This is easy via adb
-> reboot fastboot
Did u install the correct driver? (ADB driver) is ur device listed?
i tried repacking it myself but with no luck so far, also tried various treble GSI, all booting on my BV9600Pro and basically working but mobile data and phone are broken so that's not an option for now
I don’t understand why unblock the bootloader at all if everything is installed on the MTK platform using the SP Flash Tool !?
Why these dances with adb and fastboot? if a everything is done much easier ...
You do not install the factory software using adb ? not ?? so why can't TWRP be installed and installed using the SP Flash Tool!? Why complicate things?
Root with sp Flash tool
Hi please Anyone could explain this procedure with Sp Flash Tool and post it?

Because the vendor (Blackview) locks the bootloader (like any other brand does) and does not allow installing any other recovery without it.!?

Is this a statement or a question? Sorry, I do not know English and I use a translator ..
II repeat once again, in order to install TWRP you do not need to unlock the bootloader!
it installs without problems using the SP Flash Tool
and this is not an assumption but a statement!
My first copy of the smartphone received TWRP. It was on my copy that all the first tests of TWRP and ROOT were conducted.

I'm glad to hear that it works that way to you. But that doesn't worked for me. So i wrote the way i took, to root. Let the others choose, wich way works for them. :fingers-crossed::good:
I am using another MTK device and SP FlashTool is great it lets you recover from any software brick. So I will advice people to use this method.
I am planning on buying bv9600 pro and having twrp ported and root is a good start to custom roms.
The touch driver issue on twrp should be easily solved with the good kernel module for the twrp. And official twrp support would be nice.
Subscribed to the thread will see where it goes.
hi guys, can you share a clean system twrp backup of bv9600? because my USB is damaged and i can not use sp flash tool to clean restore. thanks!
Hi, i try to root my bv9600 pro, but all i end up is on reboot the system restores to factory no TWRP or anything on it. I connected it to MTKdroidtools and it complains about a file /system/recovery-from-boot.p which restores recovery and obviously after it the system too.
Thanks for any help
edit: LOL nevermind, working fine now, don't know what was going wrong, in a last try just downloaded the latest stable magisk again. Thanks AMDFenics for the howto
Just one thing, can i get rid of this 5 sec. warning that the mobile is unlocked?

Dude. You didn't say to flash magisk again, nor did you credit the author of the twrp. And touchscreen does not work with the adb command, so I do not know why you said to do that instead of the key combo...
Indeed, there are some problems with the touch screen in this TWRP version. Can anyone elaborate on how do I even boot into it with key combination? I've been fiddling with them for about half an hour before I dropped it on the carpet and it booted, and I had exactly one chance to flash everything before a reboot, I'd rather know what I pressed if I ever want to do that again.
UPD: getting into TWRP is almost like on v30: power+volUp, when logo appears you let go of power button and immediately press it again, then proceed to factory reset option which will boot you to TWRP. I'll leave it here in case somebody will google it later.

The issue with touch not always working in TWRP is that the stock kernel disables the touch driver when the boot reason is recovery (aka from adb reboot recovery), while via button combo, the reason isnt "recovery", so touch works in TWRP
Is there a way to get twrp image somewhere? If I now have unlocked bootloader, won't I be able to just flash it from fastboot?
Installed it but can't mount my internal storage in TWRP. Anyone else have this issue?

And what would be the combination of buttons to start the TWRP with active touch functionality? If I install TWRP from fastboot is it different than if I install it from QFIL?
Is there a way to get an img file so we can just flash TWRP from ADB instead using fastboot commands instead of having to use Magisk? I just plan on unlocking the bootloader for now on my Verizon V50 (LG450VM) and not rooting because their are patched Magisk files for that phone yet.

I don't think that's possible since this device does not have a separate recovery partition so this patch unpacks the boot ramdisk and injects twrp code there - not doable via fastboot.

Exactly. The pictures no longer display and this magisk is different than the latest. Do we leave dmverity checked in magisk?
I rebooted before re flashing magisk again because I've never done this and its mind boggling to have to flash magisk twice (why couldn't it stick the first time or have an obvious option?). Anyway. Anyone know how to reverse the softbootloop these instructions result in!?!
How do I get root back after magisk flashed twrp and lied? When I go to recovery, its stock. Now when I replace boot_a with magisk patched in edl mode bootloop! This worked the first time why doesn't it any longer?

Why would you want TWRP if you weren't going to replace the OS? Go into TWRP and flash something else, with Magisk as well.
For anyone reading, the button combo to get into TWRP is Vold down + power. As soon as LG Logo starts up, you release power for a second then go back to pressing it. Phone will ask if you want to erase data. Select yes, and yes. Phone will boot TWRP.

Thanks for this question, and advice on getting to recovery with keys, it's the only way to get touchscreen support in recovery, and it's a good question... unfortunately my phone no longer asks if I want to erase data for some odd reason when accessing recovery... this really tripped me up. I was trying to flash Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip, but it was too late in this instance as system was already encrypted. so the mistake made was that I didn't disable dmverity, which needs to be done either before setup, or directly after first restart. Otherwise system starts encrypting and it seems boot_a is encrypted and can't be directly replaced via qfil, since it causes a bootloop at that point. I wasn't able to access and therefore fix NT-Code issue errors (observed after cross flashing) at this point either, so the key is to first backup or get a copy of vmeta_a and boot_a along with other key files, then flash engineering (eng_abl) in qfil so that fastboot can be accessed and then fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta_a-v50original.bin, place backed up boot_a on phone, patch with Majisk, copy back to pc, then flash patched boot with qfil or fastboot, Then fastboot flash abl_a abl_a(orig-nonENG).bin, also then restore ftm-original and modem_a/b-original with same method in fastboot or using qfil, rebot then *#*#4636#*#* choose automatic and NR/LTE/CDMA/EcDO/GSM/WCDMA , then append NT errors to /Product/OP/cust_path_mapptings.cfg following format there, and then finally flash twrp via magisk but don't reboot, and then reflash magisk.zip, and reboot. Finally, following guides for adaway, revanced, and wallet hiding should work. There are a ton of steps to this phone, especially sprint version.

How to unlock the bootloader on it and flash it. Thank you !!!

[Simple method] Root N10 5G using Magisk for factory stock

First, as you might now, I am not liable if your phone would be bricked or damaged after this tutorial.
This method has worked perfectly for on my phone, which: OnePlus Nord N10 5G from Metro by T-Mobile. Build Number: 11.0.1.BE88CF. And it should work any rom stock
This tutorial is inspired by andreas__ from this topic. I recommend to take a quick glance before processing here.
General Info:
You need adb and fastboot installed and should know how to use it
You must do this process only once, afterwards you can follow the OTA survival steps
You need to factory hard reset the phone (very important)
Unlock the bootloader
If you are using locked metro by T-Mobile phone, make sure to request the "unlock token" in order to unlock the bootloader.
Google "How to Unlock Bootloader on OnePlus Phones | Unlocked and T-Mobile Variants" for the instructions
After you have unlocked the bootloader using this command:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
The data will be wiped and it will do the factory reset
Create the boot image:
You need to pull out a clean boot image from your phone. I have used TWRP to do that
flash the latest twrp for this phone:
[TWRP][3.5.2_10][Billie]TWRP for Oneplus Nord N10 5G [BETA]
Use this command to flash it:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery Twrp_3.5.2-10_EduardoA3677-billie_OxygenOs11_Android11.img
boot the phone to twrp recovery, then head to:
Backup > select "Boot (96MB)" > Swipe to Backup
The boot image will be generated in the internal storage under the name "boot.emmc.win"
root and patch the image:
Restart the phone to the system, then download the latest magisk app
Make sure to allow "USB debugging" from the developer Options
Install and open the magisk app then tap on "install" (very top)
tap on "select and patch a file"
select "boot.emmc.win" which is the image that was generated by twrp
Magisk will patch it and place it in the download folder under the name "magisk_patched-23000_Obpf5.img"
Copy the patched image into ADB folder in your PC
flash the patched image:
Reboot the phone into bootloader mode
Then flash the patched image:
Code:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched-23000_Obpf5.img
Reboot the phone into the system
Hurray! your phone now is officially rooted. You're welcome
I hope you find my instructions useful.

Hate to tell you this but if using twrp just rename magisk apk to magisk zip and install zip it auto patches to the right slot for you and you just confirm the install via magisk in android

Exactly.
I lost root after the forced OTA on July 31/August 1. Today I followed this guide to install twrp, factory reset, then installed Magisk by renaming the APK and flashing within TWRP. However the SafetyNet check showed "Attestation Failed." I enabled MagiskHide and rebooted, and now pass SafetyNet.
Thank you for this very simple and useful guide. I was able to root with no loss of userdata, saving a lot of time that would otherwise go into creating a backup.

You have to be in fastboot mode before you can flash the recovery. Reboot into fastboot by typing "adb reboot fastboot" (without the quotes). Your phone should then reboot into fastboot mode. NOW, assuming you have already unlocked your bootloader, you can flash the recovery.
If anyone is still having the OEM unlocking greyed out issue, you need to do the device unlock from your phone, select request permanent unlocks then your device will reboot, from there you can then head back into dev options and you will be able to OEM unlock. Hope this helps seems not a lot of people realize this I hunted for the answer all over only to happen upon it when I was about to say forget it.

Just to add to this.....If you are unable to use device unlock because you have not met your carrier's requirements to do so yet you can use the script at this thread and it will open up oem unlock even if your phone is not eligible yet.
I have the N20. No twrp. Flashed a patched boot.img and lost radios. No wifi Bluetooth or sim)mobile data. Hoping that the platform is similar enough that someone could help me recover my device. Phone was sim locked, not sure if that's the issue. I forgot to run the command from the debloat script after flashing the unlock token, shouldn't have rushed this. I don't have a backup of anything though. Was trying to get root to back up everything. Factory resetting did nothing to fix the issue

LOL never does at this level, just wipes cache and user partition, but nothing of value where we play- the assumption is you (or the bad guys) can't figure out how to write to the system, boot, etc partitions. (snicker).
So the good news is if you can find the EDL image, and follow the procedure to reflash the phone... it should restore everything for you.
(To be clear @PsYk0n4uT I linked you to the N10 EDL thread, not the N20...)
Thanks. So my issue so far. I don't think there is even a stock firmware posted anywhere. Though there is a backup of another device posted. How would I go about finding the EDL files for mine? Can one be created? Or would I need to source that from OnePlus or wait on someone to do that? I actually wasn't aware that I could boot the boot omg without flashing it to test it out first
