few days before i restart my phone into recovery mode as a result my entire data go deleted as it factory reset my phone (first time i have noticed that by entering recovery mode phone got factory reset)
however now i have managed to installed twrp but now scared into recovery mode as i am not sure it was successfully installed or not.. IF NOT then again my phone will be factory reset
kindly any one let me know how do i check that my phone has TWRP or not
First, more information. What version of the stock ROM are you on (10B, 12B, etc) and what way did you install TWRP?
You can always use the superuser terminal commands in @bweN diorD 's stickied thread in General to pull an .IMG of your currently installed recovery, then you can use am Android app like @scary alien 's AFV / Android File Verifier to check the MD5 hash of what you pulled and compare it to the MD5 of what you flashed.
10b and used twrp manager from playstore
The rest of process u mentioned was gone above my head.. Kindly let me know easy way any software which cal tell me twrp installed or not

There's no other way other than what I told you unless TWRP Manager reports what's installed. TWRP Manager has never failed to install TWRP for me on any ROM that's supported, which includes 10B, not sure about 12B, but definitely not any newer, 23C, 24B or 35B. If you're on 10B, you installed TWRP Manager, gave it root permissions and told it to install TWRP for the VS985 I wouldn't have any doubt that it worked. I've done it in that same scenario several times.
To clarify not working on 23C and above, it will actually install TWRP just fine on any of them. You just either won't be able to use it, or you won't be able to boot the ROM after, or both, because of the secure boot error, but that has nothing to do with TWRP itself.
@bender_007 's autorec app will install an older version of TWRP just fine on 23C or 24B. The one in the Play Store is ONLY for 23C and if you expand the description of the app, he gives a link to his XDA thread in the non-Verizon G3 General section, where has separate versions for 23C and 24B. Once you use his app on 23C or 24B, you can flash the latest version from the older version.
Can confirm about autorec, I used it on version 24B to install TWRP, but I accidentally installed it in 35B and got the secure boot error. I was able to boot to recovery right before that however, so if this happens to you, you can boot to TWRP using the Volume Down + Power button trick to get into custom recovery and choosing "Factory data reset" which won't delete your data, and connect your phone to a PC to move your stuff out before restoring it.
Anyway, if you're comfortable with ADB I have successfully flashed TWRP with these instructions

You were able to use ADB to install TWRP on 35B or 24B? I'm trying to get it on 35B rooted with Kingroom and replaced with SuperSU and keep getting the Secure Boot Error.

So flash, much excite, such new. Wow.
Edit - I know I sound weird but I don't like dirty flashes. I always reboot into bootloader, fastboot erase recovery and then fastboot flash recovery twrp.img ( I rename it twrp.img for short) then boot into it. I have done this for years on BL unlocked devices and never had a problem flashing twrp. It's just ME, but I think it is fun typing the stuff, and it assures me that I have a clean state and am not dirty flashing anything! Also, on others phones I use RASHR instead of flashify. Once again, personal preference but have had better luck.
XDA Thread updated
And backs up with finger print
^ That's great news.
I tried flashed this but after trying to reboot into recovery got the broken android icon. Reflashed back to older version and it worked. Not sure if I had a corrupt come. Do you have to reboot the bootloader after flashing from fastboot for it to take? I just rebooted to system after flashing.

Just out of curiosity, did you use flashify? I know two other people that it borked the flash also. I recommend rashr. But I also flash via otg cable and usb drive. I'd say you most likely had a bork download. Delete the img, run trimmer, redownload it. And flash via rashr and reboot and respond if it fixed it. Good luck!

No problem dirty flashing here, but the process is a little different than it was on my previous phone where you would just flash it like a ROM...
You gotta:
"Download the latest TWRP image file (.img) from the download link and boot TWRP. Go to install and find and select the Images... button. Browse to the image that you downloaded and select it. Choose recovery and swipe to flash."
OP's method seems like the best bet though...

That's cause you're use to flashing zips people make flashable, i'm old school and use img's hahaha "LET'S MAKE FLASHING FUN!" Shutup Gytole...
Just out of curiosity has anyone tried flashing twrp as boot? I also have a thread in the tmobile G3 section and I almost wonder if thats why they bork their phone...lol
Just did it on my girlfriends G3 through twrp and was like, "they totally flashed it as boot...."

No need for this thread, as there is a TWRP thread in the development forum.
Thread closed.
So I have a rooted vs985 without twrp and had been reading a couple threads on how to install Xposed without having a custom recovery and after trying the methods I read about on here and them not working happened to see an app on the play store called terminal installer: Xposed. I ran the app, all seemed well when I realized that I didn't have root access anymore and SuperSU was saying that I needed to update the su binary, after a couple failed attempts to update the binary(normal) I decided to reboot and maybe try to update the binary again. After rebooting the black LG screen with blue and green flashing light(like usual) it then rebooted and black LG screen with no lights this time appears and then the android robot laying down with the red exclamation point above him comes up and that's as far as I can get. Tried every option in the stock recovery and still the same outcome(black screen with dead android)
I realize I'm probably going to need to kdz or tot to fix this issue, I'm on 35b and need to recover my files on internal storage if possible- How would I go about doing so, and being on 35b what are the best options for restoring 35b hopefully getting my files and downgrading to install twrp???
Flash the 10B TOT using the .DLL extracted from the 35B KDZ. You can get both from my Android File Host link at the bottom of the first post of @annoyingduck 's stickied return to stock thread in the General section, also in my signature below.
You'll have to Google for the Windows software and directions to flash. It'll wipe your days including internal storage.
Then root with the Stump app, use TWRP Manager from the Play Store to flash TWRP, reboot to custom recovery. Use an app or if you do it from having the phone off, select Wipe Cache from the stock looking recovery to load TWRP.
Flash the ROM and appropriate bootstack (35B Bootstack for a 35B or higher ROM), then optional debloat zips, Google for Xposed Marshmallow (even if you want for Lollipop) and download the right Xposed zip to flash from recovery.
Once you have your ROM set up to your liking, make a backup in TWRP and keep it in your external Micro SD card in case you have to forfeit the contents of your internal storage again like in this situation.

Thanks for the information bud! Ok so I just use LG flash tool, use 10b tot and DLL file from the 35b kdz and that's it? When I reboot my phone it will be wiped and running stock 10b(why is the 35b DLL file used? Is it what enables us to downgrade from 35b to 10b properly?) And after that Stump root and twrp manager and that's it right? I have a friend bringing his laptop over this morning so I can get my phone booting again(I've been without a phone since Thursday due to this) will let you know how it goes!!! Thanks again

Substitute "at all' for "properly". In order to downgrade from stock 35B or higher, you need the 35B .DLL. There was an earlier .DLL which worked fine until 35B came along.

The AFH download is working perfect for me. Try Googling for:
Code:
VS98510B TOT
I'm sure you'll find some link that'll work for you.
I am trying to flash TWRP on 10B (was running 23C and did KDZ flash back to 10B). Rooted via Stump, installed BusyBox, TWRP Mananger and Official TWRP App. Since TWRP didn't appear to install TWRP I did some more research I read people had success with 'Partitions Backup' to backup stock recovery partition and then use 'Flashify' to install TWRP. So I downloaded the twrp-3.0.2-0-vs985.img and installed that to recovery after backing up stock. Next reboot takes me into TWRP. If I then boot normally and then shutdown and enter recovery again I'm back in stock recovery. So it's like the flash is temporary.
Anybody care to educate me about what I am doing wrong. I'm sure this was easier in the days of the 'all-in-one' root/TWRP installer but can't download that anymore and I'm tired of the updates and poor performance so want to try custom ROM's.
Any help would be appreciated. I am thinking maybe I need to install recovery again when booted into TWRP? Not sure.
I am wondering if the flash doesn't work because I flashed a TWRP img without the "bump" designation? I am beginning to think the best way to install reliably is using the 'dd' command from adb over remote PC connection (or via su in a terminal shell if advisable)? Any thoughts on using this method and whether I can go right to the latest version of TWRP for the vs985 (twrp-3.0.2-0-vs985.img).

I think you might have solved your own problem! You can't use just any TWRP image. It has to be specifically bumped for the G3.

Thanks for the reply iB. I only tried flashing with the VS985 img files. But I didn't start with one that specifically had the "bump" or "bumped" designation in the filename. I am wondering if the later version that I used doesn't actually install bump to recovery but it intended to be installed as an updated version of TWRP on a previously "bumped" recovery image? Sorry for getting into the weeds here but I actually just stayed rooted on 23C for quite a while until I couldn't take it anymore. I looked at moving up to G4, G5, V10 and V20 but it seems like the G3 is the best value LG phone for custom ROMs and hardware is still not bad overall.
Anyone know of a way to determine if recovery has been flashed with TWRP img before attempting 'factory reset' option? I based my questions thus far on the assumption that if it flashed successfully I would see only the 'factory reset' and 'reboot' options in the new recovery, but I see all 5 options as before flashing TWRP.

It's been a long time (over a year) since I last used TWRP on my G3 (which is now in the cell phone cemetery as it died last December), but I believe if you boot normally, hook your phone to your PC and use adb reboot-recovery, it SHOULD go straight into TWRP, but I could be wrong. Otherwise, factory reset is the only way to get to it. The normal "recovery" screen shows up first, from what I remember and you have to go that route to get to TWRP. You should always, always back up your phone whenever doing things like this anyways. I don't know if there is a way to "verify" that it is installed, so once again, backup everything first. Just in case.
Thanks for the help and the confirmation that the standard recovery is expected once it's installed. Based on videos I expected something different. But I tried it after backing up and it works fine. Now time to flash!!
So today i decided to update magisk to its latest versio, it all whet well,i did within android. later on in the day i decided to reboot myphone, and to my surprise it got stuck o thelgv30 thinq scree, after decide 10m was enough i rebooted and the it was stuck in bootloop, so i decided to restore my nanddroid , after it was done i hit reboot to system, and now it will only noot to fastootmode,, its as if there is nothing flashed to boot or system. any help will greatly appreciated.
EDIT: VERY OLD POST; WE CAN NOW USE NEWER MAGISK

By "latest" you mean Magisk beta? You can only use stable 16.0 Magisk. Stated in the bootloader unlock/TWRP/root instructions that beta Magisk will mess up your phone.
Download Magisk or SuperSu. Magisk 16 (Use stable Magisk -- which right now is 16.0! Magisk "beta" will mess up your phone.)

Probably. First Master Reset to clear everything. SEE if that works. Post 101 of the Frankenstein thread.
If that doesn't work, then go into download mode manually, then open dev patched LGUP and reflash Oreo KDZ.
Then use ADB to reinstall TWRP, and go from there. Your bootloader will already be unlocked so you'll continue to get the "scary" bootloader unlock warning. But you'll otherwise be following the instruction of the bootloader unlock thread, except for the bootloader unlock part.

Download kdz flashable zip then extract it. Flash the system.img and boot.img file via fastboot
This just happened to me today. It was either from the newest Magisk (v22) or from the newest YouTube Vanced. Those were the only things that changed recently on my phone. Rebooted today and it will only go to Fastboot mode and that's it.
Master Reset will get me into TWRP, but I think my USB port on the phone is damaged, it will charge but neither my Windows nor Linux PCs will recognize that it's plugged in. So it's like only USB charging works but not USB data. So I think I'm screwed, idk if it's fixable. Sad day.
Am also stack here qhile trying to unlock my bootloader using @bilong9 thread on my v300l .please help
This also happened to me while trying to update to Magisk 22. First I had an error with Magisk in a restart cycle, then when I tried to update manually from the APK I got stuck in a fastboot loop with no ADB access. I was able to boot to TWRP from fastboot on my PC, then re-flash the Pie image. My settings were all lost, but I did get my phone back at least. BEWARE of Magisk 22, or at least until it's fixed for the V30!
edit: I found that I COULD install Magisk 22.0.zip while following these instructions for restoring my phone:
LG V30/V30+/V30S Bootloader Unlock & Root Method (With Clear Instructions)
(WTF...!) LG V30/V30+/V30S Bootloader Unlock & Root Method (With Clear Instructions) WTF...! LG V30,V30+,V30S (MOST VARIANTS) BOOTLOADER UNLOCK, TWRP, ROOT INSTRUCTIONS HERE >>>CLICK HERE TO POST #193
forum.xda-developers.com
after a few extra prompts from the Magisk app, v22 now works.
I've had no issues using Magisk v22 with an LOS 17.1 (Android 10) based ROM. It could just be that there's a problem with it on either LG stock or Pie ROMs.
UPDATE
* Variant: US998 US Cellular/Carrier Unlocked
* ROM: Rooted Stock Pie (US99830b)
* Magisk: v21.4
So it seems the issue is not that it "soft bricks", but something about the new installation process of Magisk v22 goes wrong with the /boot partition, causing the phone to only be able to boot into Fastboot mode.
After getting my phone fully recovered and restored from the last failed attempt (and making a new TWRP backup), I attempted the v22 update again. First Magisk attempted to download and install the new v22 app, and then a popup notification said "additional setup is required for your device, press OK to reboot". So I hit okay, and that's when once again I got stuck in Fastboot with no other options.
If you have a TWRP/nandroid backup, you can easily fix this by performing the Master Reset process in order to boot into TWRP, and then just Restoring the /boot partition from your TWRP backup. This will get you back to Magisk v21.4 where you were before, which is where I'm currently at.
At this time, unless Magisk releases a TWRP-flashable .zip for v22, or unless there's a way to update to v22 via Fastboot, it doesn't look like updating to v22 will be possible, at least for the Stock Pie ROM.
I've seen on both reddit and XDA that several people are saying they updated to v22 without issue, but it's unclear if they were on Stock or Custom ROM. My guess would be that Custom ROMs are probably working fine and it's the Stock ROM that's having the issue.

I simply renamed the available .apk to .zip and it flashed in TWRP.
edit: the ROM I'm using is from this thread, which says it is 99% stock, whatever that means.
I'm currently sitting at TWRP and was going to restore my backup... it's gone. I was going to reboot to OS... TWRP warns me I have no OS installed.
In my tired state trying to solve an unrelated problem I must have killed my backup a few hours ago without noticing and then decided to use TWRP to format my phone so I could restore my backup... that I previously killed.
What can I do from this state? My brain is fried from hours of trying various troubleshooting threads across the internet and I'm just at a loss how to install the OS again without bricking and I don't want to make a mistake.
Appreciate the help. I do have US998820e_02_0910.kdz downloaded on my PC which is the latest KDZ I have downloaded.

I feel that's not correct... could I not use LGUP or copy over a basic backup provided by someone here just to get me back to point where I can get back to stock?
If I plug the phone into the PC I can access the storage.... could I not copy something over and then use the running TWRP to install it?

Oh i mean that your backup is already gone completely no way to get back your backup. And ofcourse you can flash a new rom anew
Lol, that's what I thought... But I'm also very tired.
Can I just copy over my KDZ and then install via TWRP? I've always just used backups in the past.
This is a secondary phone that was wiped before anyways so I haven't lost anything important.... The backup was only there to speed things up.
If you are in TWRP, connect to PC and drag over your firmware TWRP flashable zip and Magisk. And whatever else you need, maybe encryption disabler, root check disabler. With Oreo TWRP flashable zip (since you have US998), all you need is the zip file and Magisk.
In TWRP file explorer, find location where you just copied them. Then install them.
US998 20h TWRP flashable zip

I've attached Magisk 18 to this post. You can update after you reboot to system. (TWRP 18.X is friendlier with Oreo TWRP-FLASHABLE zips.)

Lol, that's what I thought... But I'm also very tired.
Can I just copy over my KDZ and then install via TWRP? I've always just used backups in the past.
This is a secondary phone that was wiped before anyways so I haven't lost anything important.... The backup was only there to speed things up.

If your kdz is twrp flashable zip you can copy it over to your phone and flash via recovery.
If the kdz is not twrp flashable you will lose twrp/ root (if available) and will revert to stock recovery.

Yes, TWRP flashable zip is available for his US998 phone.
See post above.

No, don't copy over KDZ. Copy over the TWRP flashable zip version of the KDZ.
See my post above. I give download link to latest Oreo US998 TWRP flashable zip. Also Magisk. I attached that to the post. Flash both, then reboot.
Hey, at least you now have a VERY clean install! This is the technique some people do on purpose to start fresh.
Thank you ChazzMatt... why did I suspect you'd be my hero once again, ha.

If you are in TWRP, connect to PC and drag over your firmware TWRP flashable zip and Magisk. And whatever else you need, maybe encryption disabler, root check disabler. With Oreo TWRP flashable zip (since you have US998), all you need is the zip file and Magisk.
In TWRP file explorer, find location where you just copied them. Then install them.

LOL... I wasn't opposed to starting fresh... that was my ultimate goal, but I've not been in this exact situation before as I've always kept my backups. Being tired and in a hurry was my downfall this time. I just didn't want to go any further without proper advice as I was worried about bricking and just wanted to double make sure I wouldn't do that on my next attempt to "fix" it alone.

There are basically several options here.
If you can still boot into fastboot or even TWRP there's nothing to fear. It's really hard to completely brick a phone anyways.
So as suggested either use a flashable kdz (you can even adb sideload it to avoid the copying) or just flash (or sideload) any other ROM. Good luck

I feel that's not correct... could I not use LGUP or copy over a basic backup provided by someone here just to get me back to point where I can get back to stock?

Connect the phone to the computer, and push a stock TWRP zip to the device and flash it. If you have an ad card port on the PC, then push it to the SD card and put it in the phone.

NM, saw my man @ChazzMatt using his forum superhero Powers again.
Download any zip of your choice and reboot. Then let Google backup restore your apps and settings.
Running into a new issue... after flashing 20H TWRP and Magisk I rebooted the phone. Android OS did it's first install and I made it to the setup screen... then while I was typing in my wifi password the phone simply shut down (played the shutting down LG logo animation). I turned the phone back on and same results... after loading to the Android setup screen around 1 to 15 seconds later the phone shuts down again. Phone has never done this before.
Any thoughts?
I'm not sure if it matters, but this was originally a US Verizon V30 that I unlocked and rooted following the guides here which "converted" to a US998.

Okay I think I know what the problem is... you may have to flash 20, F, g, H all back-to-back. Then reflash Magisk
Or flash the full 20h KDZ in LGUP , reinstall TWRP and reflash the three root files. Your choice.
The problem is there were so many changes between 20e and 20H with the TWRP flashable zips that you have to flash them all back to back to get the full firmware.
You can stack them in TWRP and flash them all at the same time followed by magisk.
lol... okay... I'll get to downloading, lol. Any recommended custom ROM suggestions? lol

Sorry, no, I'm still running rooted stock firmware. But others who use custom ROMs may have suggestions for your gaming issue, mentioned in your PM.
Check this out below and see if it helps you any.

I downloaded and installed ROM 20E from this thread under older zips.... https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/development/rom-fw-us99820e-twrp-zip-t3868415
still doing the same behavior. First boot Android does setup, then if I let it sit a few seconds it shuts down and reboots, gets to Android and then shuts down again... over and over.

Okay, think it's working. Having looked through the ROM maker's thread Magisk v18 is... needed? I previously installed a newer version (v19.2) which can cause this boot loop issue.... I also installed the ROM without any Magisk which still caused the boot loop which is why I wasn't thinking Magisk was the issue.... but after trying 20H with v18 Magisk... no more boot loop. Go figure.

Well, glad you got it working.
But the Magisk thing is why I had specifically attached Magisk 18 to my first post in this thread and said to use it... I even explained why.
I assumed you were using it.
