so, i was attempting to put TWRP on my phone and somewhere along the line i managed to completely delete the recovery off my phone, and i can't figure out how to put it back. is there a way i could fix this, or am i up a creek without a paddle? i'm certain the recovery is gone, because i tried navigating to the recovery file via my file manager, and the folder doesn't even show up.
Try and use the LG Flash Tool...
I would use LG Flash Tool and return to 100% unrooted ZV4/A and reroot then just use flashify to install the latest TWRP

All:
I have attempted to flash TWRP via various methods to no avail. I have somehow messed something up so I cannot get the stock recovery to work. I can get into the stock recovery screen, but if I select anything, it says Secure boot error. I am currently on OTA 5.0.1 VS98523C. Any advice on how to proceed? I have looked at KDZ options, but am wondering if I can just get the stock recovery back and let it ride until TWRP is available.
Thanks in advance,
Steven

In theory, you can use the dd comment to put the aboot back, but I would not recommend it as I got my phone hard bricked that way. (so dead that even KDZ does not work)The safest way is KDZ back to 10b, and then stump root. Then:
1. Install TWRP manager from Google Play.
2. From TWRP manager you can choose your phone model and download and install TWRP recovery.
3. Follow the instruction from this link to use TWRP to install the 23c

Never do OTA if you have rooted your phone. It needs to be completely stock for OTA to work.
/\ What he said.
Twrp doesn't work after lollipop because of the signing requirements in the bootloader.
It needs to be rolled back to 10-12b and then rooted and then you can load twrp. Once you have twrp you can load jasmine or skydragon which are both 5.01.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/guide-flash-to-stock-10b-kdz-method-t2928140
Thanks! So if I want to use xposed, I should roll back to the other versions of lollipop?
thanks all. I KDZ'd 12b stock rom, rooted, then flashed TWRP through flashify. I then went into recovery and installed the 23c rom. I used skydragon 4.0.0 because I tried to flash Jasmine 7.0 like 8 times. I did not have any of the bottom keys and I could not access my pulldown menu. I could not figure out why this was happening. Skydragon worked for me perfectly. Thanks All.
How can i download an original(real android) version, custom ROM of marshmellow for my lg k7 device
An original Android ROM can not be access as a .zip file ut as a kdz.. A .KDZ is the whole phone firmware, it will revert it as 100? out-the-box, it will remove root and get it back to normal. It also is a method for fixing a bricked phone. However a .kdz can not be flash with a custom Recovery, so you will need a Windows pc, and the program LG Flash Tool. And flash it just like a .zip, make sure to factory/hard reset
Hi,
I have a rooted LG G5 H850 with an unlocked bootloader and TWRP. I was on H850 20A OPEN EU ROM from autoprime and I tried to flash H850 20D OPEN EU ROM. I booted into recovery TWRP and flashed the Zip file together with the newest SuperSU. When I tried to reboot the phone stuck in reboot - always changing between the message "Your device software cannot be checked for corruption" and the LG logo. After a long time (15 minutes or so) I pulled the battery. The same thing. Then I tried to get into recovery using the 2 hands method. I clicked through the factory reset screens (yes, yes...) - and the phone stuck between warning screen and logo again.
Could someone help me to get into TWRP again? If this would be possible I could restore my backup. Otherwise I don't what to to else...
Thanks for any helP!
Ok, after several tries with the 2 hand method, I got into TWRP again. I tried to restore my backup but it failed with an error. After that I did a full wipe (factory reset) but without the internal storage. Then I flashed the 20D zip again, after that SuperSU. Now the phone is rebooting and rebooting and rebooting. It is stuck on the LG logo and nothing else is happening. It's frustrating...
Firmware reset > flash zip file.
If that doesn't work use the LGUP or LG Bridge method to flash firmware. There should be threads in the development section

Thanks for your help, but I don't use windows. But in the meantime I got it solved. The reason for the failure was a corrupted external sd card. Flashing from a new card did help.
i'm getting the same problem with the OREO OPEN EU ROM, booted into TWRP, flashed SuperSU and after a few loops got stuck on the LG logo. Had to pull the battery, go into download mode & reflash the ROM via LGUP. I somehow doubt it's the SD card as there were no errors on the SuperSU install.
So, I kind of rooted my device using Kingo Root and it wasn't successful (I guess). So, in fastboot mode, I tried OEM unlock and it didn't work too; but anyway, I flashed TWRP recovery into my phone and through that I tried to install CM 13,14 custom ROMs which was completely unsuccessful. It doesn't allow me to install any ROM. And says that root privilege is lost. And now, all that I have access to is a phone stuck in bootloop and TWRP which doesn't allow me anything to do because apparently root access is lost. :crying:
I tried every method of flashing via YGDP tool and it is stuck at 'entering download mode'. I have installed different drivers over and again to fix as suggested by different threads but still, it's the same. [Windows 8.1] . And is there any other tool to flash this same stock ROM or better, can I get root access again in a bricked device and install a custom ROM any way?:fingers-crossed:
I also have access to ADB sideload via TWRP, so can I get stock ROM in .zip format. So far, I can only find it in .CPB format; maybe I can use .zip stock ROM via ADB sideload to flash it. Please help if any of this is possible.
*Apology for such a long question but I think you guys must know everything in order to provide me with a fix*
It's fixed.

Its fixed now, I assume it was because of the ROM file being downloaded through chrome in phone, I downloaded ROM and GApps in PC and flashed through TWRP and bam! Its back on:laugh:
TWRP - 2.4.4
ROM - Resurrection Remix 5.7.2
Thanks anyways!
Hello all,
I have a Verizon LG V30 that I converted to a US998 LG V30 using the Frankenstein method. Today, I clicked the Uninstall option in Magisk Manager and the device uninstalled it and rebooted. Upon rebooting, I was thrown into Fastboot mode with no way to get out (No Recovery, nothing.) I tried resetting through Fastboot to no avail. It still connects with Fastboot but nothing else. I can flash firmware with the patched LGUP but no file I have tried has worked. Is there anyway I can flash my V30 back to Stock VS996? Thank you.

Why isn't there a way to get into Recovery? Use the same fastboot commands you got into recovery the first time you installed TWRP. You can even use those commands to boot to TWRP on your phone even when TWRP is not installed on your phone, via "temp" TWRP.
Since you uninstalled root, you can't use the Reboot Recovery app anymore -- as that requires root access -- but you can still use the fastboot flash commands.

Yes, go into Download mode manually and use dev patched LGUP to flash VS996 Oreo KDZ with DL Partition method. Flash all partitions. Not sure why you are doing that however. You decided you don't want to own your phone anymore?
People who want to KEEP root and TWRP and go back to VS998 would use DL Partition method -- but UNtick the partition recovery partitions. Then you would still have VS996 but with TWRP. You would no longer have fastboot flash commands, but you would still have TWRP custom recovery. Then you just flash Magisk root. So you would have VS998 with TWRP and root.
And at that point you could even use the reboot recovery app with root to always easily get to TWRP.

Thank you very much. I am booting up my ADB and Fastboot to flash TWRP, as I still at least have an unlocked boot loader. I’ll download a Oreo KDZ for the Verizon Variant if that doesn’t work out. Do you have any sources for one on the forums? Thank you!
EDIT: Once I get into recovery, should I flash a stock ROM? There are a few on the ROMs section of the forums but I do not non which one to download.

1) Do your want to keep TWRP and root and just flash back to VS996 (while keeping TWRP and root)?
2) Or do you want to just keep TWRP but you don't want root right now?
If #1, once in TWRP, reflash Magisk.
Then reboot, and go into manual download mode BEFORE opening the patched LGUP. Then Frankenstein back to VS996 with DL PARTITION method, but untick (uncheck) the recovery partitions. Then you'll be back to VS996, but still have TWRP and be rooted.

Don't mind my other comment, I fixed what was going on there for the most part. I have tried 2 different firmware files and both of them will not boot. The Official LG Boot image (flashable with TWRP) flashed with no errors, but i just booted into download mode again. I also flashed LineageOS and the same thing happened. I tried the Refurbish and Upgrade option through LGUP and both stopped at 19% with error 0x2000. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you.
