Having issues rooting. - T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been trying to root my LG V10 H901 6.0. I've gone thru the steps. Tried different programs, different tools. After I've unlocked the bootloader, its fine. But when I try to flash the twrp, its always failing. Am I missing something??? Do I need an unlock code so I can flash this? Also, after I download the twrp, it always says, the file is corrupted. I turn off all the security settings before I download the twrp. I've. Tried 2.8.7.0, 2.8.7.1 and the 3.0.0.0. Always saying, file is to big. Can anyone help??

which method of root you are following?
I have followed this method, and got rooted without issues.

I've trird using mfastboot, sdk tool, abd/mfastboot.. Nothing seems to be working. I'll get most of the way thru. When I try to flash the twrp, thats where the problem starts. It just won't flash. I've used the necessary drivers for my T-Mobile LG V10 H901. But every time, it just will not flash. Do I need a flash tool kit? Serms I'm missing something. Or the files I get from here are always corrupted.

​ which methoed are you using? Didn't see it posted... This is really starting to get annoying. At the meantime, my bootloader is still unlocked. If I lock it before I can install the twrp, I have to reinstall my backups.. Which is also becoming annoying

Make sure the bootloader is unlocked first.

Auto-booting Into Bootloader/Fastboot

I rooted my LTEvo using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671577 and now, when my phone is off and I plug a charger in, it automatically boots into fastboot. This happens with both USB and AC. I don't press any buttons, just plug the charger in.
Suggestions? Thanks!
I had the same thing happen to me yesterday, weird.
The issue was resolved by doing a full root and installing viperROM. Most likely an issue with the method listed above or trying to install TWRP while the bootloader was still locked.

Full root vs partial root. Please explain?
I suppose I meant rooting vs. unlocking the bootloader. I used the batch file method in the original post to root and install SU. I then used Goomanager to try flashing TWRP, but the phone just rebooted. The issue started occurring at that point, but stopped when I unlocked the bootloader using HTCdev.com and installed viperROM.

Subtle yet very different
I had this same problem. I fix it by re-flashing the stock recovery via Android Terminal Emulator

Sounds like that would have done it for me as well. I'm guessing the stock recovery got corrupted somehow when I tried flashing TWRP with a locked bootloader.

I'm having the same problem and also still have a locked bootloader too. I did like AmonReviled stated and had tried to install TWRP recovery after only rooting with Zedomax method and have been seeing this issue since then.
Since I don't have a lot of time on my hands right now, I really don't want to get into unlocking the bootloader and heading down the custom recovery and custom ROM road just yet so I'd like to be able to just restore the default HTC stock recovery without losing any of the rest of my data or having to reinstall everything. Especially since I sometimes like to charge my phone while completely powered off, and this issue has made that impossible.
Shook187, can you tell me how you were able to reflash the stock recovery through Android Terminal Emulator? I already have the app on my LTEvo but I'm assuming I also need access to a stock recovery image? Theoretically I'd like to be able to restore just the recovery partition to stock without losing/erasing any of the rest of the data on my phone.
Any help would be much appreciated.
EDITED TO ADD: Nevermind, I got it, and it didn't delete any of my data. I used the recovery image and instructions from the OP in the Clockwork Recovery thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675430 in case anyone else is wondering.

[Q] Need help installing clockwork recover on my Atrix HD MB886

Hello XDA members,
I was hoping somebody would help me out, I'm fairly new when it comes to installing custom roms so I require your patience. I don't know how to install a custom rom onto my Bell Atrix HD MB886, everytime I try it says abortion failed, what can I do to fix this. I have wiped data and all that probably 5 times in the past week alone. I would like to know how to successfully install roms without errors. Both the times that I have done this I had my bootloader unlocked, and I had clockword recovery mod latest version 6.0.4.4. I bought an SD card today to help install the roms because otherwise I can't do it from my internal storage. I really hope somebody can help me out.
Regards,
Roger

Hi there. A failed abortion certainly seems like an issue... I guess I am not totally clear on the status here. You say that you had CWM. Do you still have it? Bootloader is still unlocked? What rom are you trying to install? Are you certain it's for the Bell version and not like the AT&T one? What is the exact error message?

No I don't have it atm as I just wiped the data/cache last night but will I already have CWM, I just need to unlock the bootloader and try again...I'm trying to install this one:
Android 4.4.2 KitKat Mokee Rom, and it says the version is a nightly. Yes I'm positive it's the Bell Version as I purchased it at a Bell Store and my carrier is Bell. The error message is "Installation Aborted." It begins installing, and then halfway through I get that error message. How do I fix this?
I figured you knew what phone you had. I was wondering if you had a rom built for the Bell version vs an ATT one. But since you are using a CM based rom, it obviously doesn't matter. Curious as to why you are bothering with relocking the bootloader? But I suggest to either try a different version of the rom, or to change your recovery to one of the Philz Touch versions as that's what some of the other users in that thread for the rom for your phone were using. You can find them here:

No I was bothering to unlock it again, not lock it. Where can I find different versions for the 4.4.2 Mokee Rom? I've tried using the Philz Touch version: Motorola Atrix HD One Click Philz recovery installer and when I tried it a couple of times it said it failed to install although I'm not sure why. I came across these images the other day but how do I use the .img files on my device, as I'm not sure to proceed from here once I have them downloaded.

Okay so I'm trying it now and the program won't even open :/
Odd. I just downloaded it to test and I didn't have any issues. If you can't get the actual application / exe file to open, then just use the Main-Skip.bat. Does the same thing.
If it doesn't open still, make sure that you have your anti-virus off as sometimes those interfere with programs like this. Might also try as admin.

Okay I wasn't looking at the actual .exe sorry, I got it to work and all I installed the Philz One Touch Recovery from that program, just downloaded a different rom and all and then I select the apply update from external storage and when it gets to the verifying update package, it gave me the same error message as yesterday, Installation Aborted.
So again, how do I fix this, am I doing something wrong? Why won't my custom rom install?

I don't think that is the most updated version. What's the version number of the recovery that was installed? It should be listed on the main page of it when you boot there. I was suggesting to use one of the new ones. It might have something to do with the SELinux support that KK roms need. You just have to put the img file in the tools folder and rename the new one the same. But here's no other error that shows up other than Installation Aborted? I was thinking usually it would have an error code or some other message.Have you checked the md5 of the rom zip to make sure it's not corrupted (if the dev provided it)?

Use one of the new versions of that program or to use the latest CWM which I have been. Okay I really don't know how to do that and where to move it to, how do I do such a thing? No it just says Installation Aborted... How would I do that? And yes I downloaded the new rom directly from his site.

Look in the tools folder of the zip you downloaded. Download the newest Philz Touch img from the other link from earlier. Rename it to replace the one in the tools folder. Redo the recovery install. But you didn't say what version you already have.

Pop the battery out for a bit, then pop it back in and hold Volume Down while powering up. Should get you into fastboot where you can skip to the recovery.

Oh yea, forgot you have to undo the screws on the bottom. So you scroll down to hit recovery and use the Power button to select and it doesn't do anything? That's odd.. Try and reflash the recovery since you can still get to fastboot. If that doesn't work, you're not totally screwed since you can still get to fastboot, that means you should be able to restore it to stock and start over.
Alternatively, if you have fastboot set up, you could make sure that philz touch is in the fastboot folder and use this command:
fastboot boot recovery nameofphilztouchfile.img
If you don't have fastboot, then just grab this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 , drop the recovery img in that folder and open the CMD prompt on your computer and change directories to it and run the command.

"Security error"

Could someone help me with this issue?
I unlocked the bootloader of my p768 a while ago, and then I sent it to the carrier service, because it was having some signal problems.
I read that, once you unlock your bootloader, you can't lock it again, so, when I got it back, it was kind of restored and today I tried to flash Clockworkmod (.img file) and when I tried to reboot it, it said "Security Error", I followed this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470248
And when I connected the phone to the computer, and it says that the device already has the most recent version.
What do I do? Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi @speakerstick
You need to update the recovery in the LG mobile support tool and then it should work.
Look in the top right screen and select "Support Tool Options Menu" and then select "Upgrade Recovery"

Are you using the stock cable? If not, do so.
Have you made sure nothing else (NOTHING ELSE BUT THE NECESSARY) is connected to the other USB ports? Unplug stuff.
Do you have the drivers needed? Uninstall, redownload, reinstall.
Have you tried on another USB port?
Do you have any idea, based on the logs the program generates, about what might be wrong?
I've done it! I finally was able to do it. I uploaded it with the battery, I know the guide says you shouldn't but it worked, now... Does anyone know how to re-root the device? I unlocked the bootloader a while ago and then I sent it to service, but how do I "root" the phone again?

I ran into the same issue, I fixed it by flashing the original image via fastboot (I flashed all the partition images):

You can also try using the tot file and the flashtool if you have access to a windows (which I don't, hence the fastboot approach).

Corrupt recovery (and locked bootloader?)

I tried to update my oneplus x to a new version of resurrection remix (the android 7.1 version) by flashing through twrp. Long story short I tried to update the recovery twrp and also update my bootloader but it all went to **** and now my phone is bricked. If I try and boot the phone into either the OS or into recovery I get a boot loop where the oneplus logo appears, the phone vibrates then reboots. I can get into fastboot but when I try and flash either a rom or recovery it tells me I can't because my 'device is not unlocked'. I know my bootloader was unlocked previously but am thinking that by trying to install a new rom it has re-lock or something and I'm not sure if this means my phone is now a paper weight..
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
edit: This problem is fixed. However twrp won't flash/boot correctly now..
Follow this to the letter: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/general/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-hard-bricked-t3272108
I did basically the same thing you did and flashed a rom that was compatible with the old bootloader only and it "locked" my bootloader which made the recovery and ROM useless. It took me a few hours to get the device to actually be recognized correctly by the computer and program but it worked. You may also need to google since I remember needing to download basically the same program but from a different site.

You're welcome! Like I said I was in the same situation. It kept rebooting and when I got into fastboot my heart sank when it said "Device is locked"
So I now have recovery working as well as fastboot (unlocked this time). But I cannot for the life of me get twrp to work correctly. One version out of like 5 I've tried works but won't flash any roms; I read that could be from a bad version.. All others seem to flash from fastboot but when I try to boot I get the dtb not found error. I don't understand why I cant get it to work, this should be the easy part
