I bought the T-Mobile LG V10 off eBay. It was listed as a parts/repair phone cause the phone would keep rebooting and apps would crash.
A factory reset from the stock recovery those issues . Now I noticed there is no sound at all. Not even through headphones.
I have unlocked the bootloader but am having trouble flashing TWRP recovery. I keep getting a error right before it finishes.
Edit: I forgot to mention that the phone is on MM.
PS. Is there any other way to root this device?
Any ideas what could be going on?
TIA for any replies.
There's a dedicated T-Mobile LG V10 section.

I know the phone is newer, but maybe someone can still help. I tried to root my new boost mobile lg volt 2 that i just activated on ringplus. I used this lg one click method and it said it worked correctly, but now it just sits on the boot screen with the lg logo and never gets past it.

I tried hard resetting via the stock recovery, but nothing changed. I searched and searched for firmware, but only found one supposed link in Chinese and the point/coin system to enable downloading is impossible to figure out.
What else can i do here, anyone have any thoughts? Is there really no legit lg site for firmware? I seriously appreciate the help!
No one has any thoughts on getting this phone back to stock?
Back to Stock
While we're at it, if we could get a stock rom for the Boost version as well, that would be just ducky.
Yeah I'm on the boost version as well. I'm kind of surprised that there isn't more support for this decent little cheap phone.
I have been reading everything I can find and tried to figure it out myself but the more I read the more questions I have and the less sure I am about trying any of the things I have read.
My problem is with an lg tribute from the company called Textnow. My friend ordered the phone from them and was having some issue she decided to try to fix by doing a factory reset which caused it to be stuck on the Lg boot logo. I tried booting to recovery to fix it. The recovery was TWRP. I was under the impression that Twrp was a custom recovery program that was installed after unlocking boot loader. Best I can tell is the phone was already rooted by the company. Does this sound right?
I messed with it for while but couldn't get anywhere with it because I haven't any knowledge of rooting except what I read . I noticed it kept saying something about simulating actions and figured that out but now after trying to back up and restore and poking around that it says there is no os , I was hoping someone could help me figure out where to go from here as it isn't my phone and I would hate to damage it although my friend keeps telling me to just try whatever no big loss because she can't use it like it is so.
I am not sure what the phone had for firmware because I cant get it on. I only know that it had twrp 2.8.5.0 as recover not the usual android. I can access the phone internal and external through twrp and though pc and adb. I made sure to get drivers updated. I tried to flash the stock rom from its forum but it failed,. any info would be mush appreciated
My Lg G5 (Tmobile) keeps on rebooting to recovery mode (TWRP) no matter what rom I flash. I tried using LG Up software but no matter how many times I install the driver phone is not recognized. Firstly I flashed Fulmics ROM then I installed LineageOS (Cyanogenmod) after that phone was working fine for a while till I saw an update and tried updating it to new nightly version. Please help me out if anyone knows how can I fix this issue.
You probably need to put the phone in download mode and then try LG up otherwise try pushing a rom that works through adb

I am sure this method would fix it but I already returned my phone and got new one as I had 1 year warranty. I bought it from T-mobile and I locked the bootloader before turning in the phone so it doesn't look like I was trying anything fishy. Now instead of phone going to twrp each time it goes to boolop saying "device is currupted and won't boot". It won't go to recovery mode no matter what I do and hope I don't get charged from T-mobile saying this and that.
However, I am really grateful to all of you great people who tried their best to help and you sir actually threw me a solution but I was too impatient to wait for it. I know this method will work no matter what as I had been using this tool for my G2 in old days and fixed the worse bricks where I had to openup the whole phone take battery out and stuffs like this. I was looking for this method found everything but LG tool asked me for .dll file which I couldn't find anywhere and decided to give up on it...
Thank you for your help and now I know I am not going to be bricked anymore as I have this method to work with in future issues and am her waiting badly for Xposed to be available for Nougat.

Good to hear that, You are welcome,
And as you mentioned about "device is corrupted and won't boot", that's because you locked bootloader. And as you were using twrp which means modified system partition so phone said that. But you can still go to download mode and use the method to make it live or can try unlocking bootloader to start twrp.
I experienced similar situation. I thought I had to send my phone for repair. As I was able to put the phone to download mode, I used uppercut with downloaded kdz file from LG G5 development thread and restored my phone. I didn't use my phone for four days thinking that I had to take to a phone shop or send to service center. But after careful reading of unbrick tutorials, I brought my phone back to life. Now I can play flashing anything as I am confident that I can easily unbrick my phone.

A few days ago I got my G5 H830 and came with version 6.0.1 h83010i, looking for information on how to install custom rom, I read the post to install the .TOT file to be able to install TWRP and through this the Custom Rom, until there is Everything okay, I did everything right, but then I decided to go back to the Rom stock, on the night of that same day I saw that when I reboot my cell phone it stuck on the LG logo and it had some color pixels damaged (but no screen Damaged, if not because of small brick) then force a restart and continued the same, I did factory reset by stock recovery and then normal start, I went to sleep leaving it in 100% battery, and when I wake up in the morning the cell phone It is off, when I turn it on 5% and I get scared, then I wanted to go back to custom rom to leave those problems behind, but then when I install the TOT again and install the custom ROM it will restart half installed and any rom that installed it would stay Stuck and the LG logo and a bootloop until when it was flash the kdz several times until the cell did not want to ignite more, the pc does not recognize it or anything, I need help with this.
I just bought this phone through eBay through a very highly recommended seller. It was marked as brand new and it would come with the packaging and headphones. It came some things in little Ziplocs like the battery and the actual phone and the backing piece was in an actual Factory bag just the unsealed straight bags that you open and dump out so I'm thinking this isn't a new phone that is pre owned and don't know what to do. I went to do the upgrade from lollipop to marshmallow and it said phone is suspected of being rooted and then closed. Every time I turn the phone on it says "unfortunately teleyphoney has stopped". And not telephone but then it disappears and it runs fine. Just wondering others thoughts on the situation. It was stuck on AT&T to go has stopped and it wouldn't let me dismiss it or press okay so I had to hit okay and quickly swipe down to get into settings and it went away. I paid $250 us for the phone and it is spotless not a nick or even micro scratches on it anywhere so I thought it was a great deal. What would you do? Id just like some other peoples insight into this. I usually use nova launcher prime on every phone. I haven't rooted of flashed a Rom in years. Are there good roms? Like I said it's mint condition but has some occasional hiccups here and there.
Hi
I take it that your phone is the AT&T H900 V10, if so the phone is bootloader locked and cannot be rooted by the usual means. I believe there is a Rom in existence that provides root and TWRP recovery. You need to search for an OP named "tungkick or kik " as he has made this. Sorry to be so negative but I have the same phone running stock.

Yes that's the model. I just dont know why someone would take a brand new lg v10 root it then sell it. Could it have possibly been stolen and the eBay seller rooted it so he could unlock it? I don't know a ton about this stuff but have rooted and flashed roms years back. I would like it stock. The fingerprint scanner doesn't work and that's all I found so far.

Hi
To get stock search for the latest AT&T stock rom, which is H90020w. When and if you have it you will need the programs LGUP and or LG Bridge plus the LG drivers for the V10 (Google them). When you have all, you then need to put the V10 into download mode by switching the phone off completely.( I found that if after it is off you remove the battery and replace it after a couple of minutes it helps ensure it is completely off.) Then plug your USB cable to your computer and while holding the volume up button on the phone insert the other end of the cable into the phone and you will be in download mode. You then run LGUP and at the bottom of the program you will see a blank entry with BIN at the left side and 3 dots on the right,
Click here and then go to where you have saved the Rom and click on it and it should show in the enrty pane beside BIN. Hit start and the Rom will install.
Hope this longwinded explanation is helpful.

Thank you very much! Is this a stock Rom or will it return it to factory stock? I don't know very much about this. I have Lg bridge installed. So I should google lgup and download that on pc also? And if I see the v10 in my Devices does that mean I have the drivers?

Nothing will work with bridge except back-up probably because it realizes it's rooted. So this process will not unroot my phone just give me a stock Rom? as my phone was only rooted when it arrived and I use nova launcher prime instead of factory launchers on all the phones I get. I have 5 days to return it but see a lot of people want their v10s rooted but can't unless you did it before updates. I know rooting was part of installing the roms yrs ago but that's all I remembered. I am just a little ticked as it was listed as brand new but when I get it it's rooted. Other than that and fingerprint not working it is brand new. Still has plastic on metal strips n all. The seller has a great eBay record and there were a bunch of these available but listed as New. I even called and asked if brand new and he said yes. So idk if I should take it on the chin and keep it or ship it back and go another few weeks w out phone in hopes of getting an unopened one.
@nednerbish
That is a strange one. I bought my H900 and an H901 both off Ebay and both came Sim unlocked but that was all. They are both brand new. I bought the H901 because it can be bootloader unlocked and i like to use other Roms. The H900 i bought because it wa stock only and it updated to the Rom i quoted previously OTA. Have you tried the "repair recovery option of LG Bridge. And what version of Rom is on the phone is it MM or Lollipop? Because that can make a difference.

Here's a screenshot.
And when I turn phone on or restart it I get this every time. I don't get it.
Lollipop. If you go to XDA Developers. LG V10 General tab there is a very good guide explaining how to go back to stock. Also you could download the LG support tool it may assist.

I'll check it out. Thank you again.
Hi do you know which of these I need for a rooted h90010f? I have Lg bridge installed and I installed lgup ver 1_14_3.msi I think the malware "teleyphone" is embedded in the Rom they flashed. I can't tell in my files where the Rom they used is.
Hi
The first H90020j is the stock Lollipop (Android 5) Rom.
The second H90021w is the latest stock Marshmallow (Android 6) Rom
The last one is what is says it is a rooted Rom but I do not know what Version of Android it is. It could be the same as the Rom you have installed at the moment and using it will keep you where you are now. The second is pure stock and if installed via LGUP will get rid of your problem, hopefully, unless there is something else involved.

Hello everyone, I have been a fan of your forums for quite a while, you guys have an awesome community. I have been attempting to unbrick my VS990 with no success, I have LGUP and all of the proper dll files in the proper folders, I have two .kdz. One is the stock kdz, I can not get to work at all due to anti roll back (no matter which option I choose) and the other is the current kdz. I got that one to accept using update, but it did not fix my phone, it is still stuck in boot loop. and using refurbish I get an error message saying that it is not supported by that kdz. LG UP is fully recognizing my phone, I found the .kdz files no problem, I believe that I have followed all of the steps here >> https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/general/guide-lg-v10-stock-firmware-to-stock-t3224170 any help at all would be appreciated. Side note, I have not rooted or installed a custom recovery.
I would also like to add, I can not do a hard reset. Every time I attempt the phone either locks up when I hit the power key on yes to confirm factory reset, or sometimes it reboots to LG splash screen and locks up then. I am starting to wonder if there isnt a hardware problem with the phone instead of software.
