I recommend that you use the TWRP that was specifically created for the rs988 which is located in the op of the guide to root rs988 thread. While other versions may install and seem to work, it's possible that they have some issues or incompatibility, why is best to stick to the one for the device.

I've tested this so I know it works fine: Download TWRP Manager from the Play Store and install the latest TWRP from there. Or look for the TWRP thread in Development or Original Development, I forget which, and flash the new version from the old version.

RS988 ROM and Kernel Compatibility

Just wondering what roms have worked successfully on the RS988, as well as Kernels. I've not seen any evidence of any compatibility, but I'm not sure I want to risk it without confirming that first. Thanks for any and all replies.
To the best of my knowledge... none.

Yeah currently there ate no ROMs or kennels for any other devices except h830 (t mobile) and h850 (unlocked European version). This is due to the fact that those were the only devices that could be boot loader unlocked. Now if this new method is working for you guys on other devices and you have working twrp for your devices that actually flash files then the devs building ROMs for the two currently supported should be able to include the other devices but do NOT flash any roms for any other device to yours. Kindly ask the devs (like @King_lilrowrow or @gwolfu) if they could support your devices. I don't currently fully know if this is possible as I'm not sure you guys can flash files via twrp successfully yet, you would have to ask a dev. If unable to flash files you may need twrp updated for each device (kernel specific stuff), but again not sure as I'm not a developer. Hopefully this heels and hopefully you guys get a chance to enjoy custom ROMs like I have. I know I couldn't deal without, I'm a flashaholic. I actually returned my RS988 for a h830.

If other G5's have BL unlocked and a working build of TWRP then it will be easy for me to add support to my CM14.1 (LineageOS) builds.
The TWRP version targeting 20a/b isn't 100% needed but avoids issues with TZ assertion.
The only device I'm aware of thats close to an unlock method (via someone I know) is the H840 (LG G5 SE)
When any other G5 model is supported you'll see it on our GitHub site: https://www.github.com/ConquestTeam/

Yeah from what I read in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/how-to/guide-adb-root-rw-dm-verity-off-sprint-t3523499 it appears that this method allowed them to flash twrp, although not sure if it's working 100% (I know they're having issues flashing SuperSU). Not sure if it's also unlocking the boot loader or not or of it simply bypasses the boot loader unlocking issues like old exploits on g2, g3 and g4. But as I said before I'm on h830 so not sure about this method and what exactly it's doing. But it appears to replace recovery with twrp. Also it appears to only be disabling DM verity and mounting system as rw via adb, not sure if it's allowing you to do this via twrp or not. Again if not, I'm assuming that you may need a new twrp built based on the modified kernel and boot image this method flashes. If that's they case maybe someone can goto twrp thread and ask support to be added specifically for these other versions, don't know.

At this time my focus is bringing up the G6 as well as a few other projects I'm working on.
I may look into supporting the RS988 and H840 shortly.

RS988 Porting
So now that we have full bootloader and root capability w/custom recovery. Does anyone know what it would take to port any AOSP ROMS or stock ROM's like Fulmics to this device?

If you look it up in XDA, there Are already threads with bootloader unlock + root + TWRP threads to get you started. I'm running stock rooted and it's pretty solid. Just wanna see if this device can get into the ROM game

Just wanted to give a huge thank you for posting these. I flashed one and it fixed my GPS issue so thank you so much.
One question, is there anywhere to see the release dates of each radio? I'm just curious the order of which is oldest and newest.
Thank you again.
I have a XT1603 (Brazil) with the build number MPIS24.241-15.3-7, if i flash the fastboot MPIS24.241-15.3-7 will work, right? And can you provide a link to the zip MPIS24.241-15.3-7 that i can flash with adb through PC?
Thanks @Q9Nap

You can use simg2img to unsparse the NON-HLOS.bin to NON-HLOS.raw, then use a hex editor to search for the date.
You can do the same with fsg, the other component of the radio, also; it is already unsparsed, so no need to use simg2img.

Thanks again for the radios and for helping me check the dates! I have one more question which I can't seem to answer myself.
In the names of the radios, some start with MPI (example MPI24.241-15.3) while other radios begin with MPIS (example MPIS24.241-15.3-7). Do you know what this difference means? I have not been unable to find the meaning of this difference. Thanks again.

I'm not sure what the difference is either, except that "MPIS" seems to be on the most recent builds.
Sorry for all the questions, but I do have another.
As I have been having constant GPS problems, I have been trying many of the radios to see if there is any solution or change to the issue. I havent found a solution yet.
I am curious if you think there is any danger or risk in flashing one of the amazon/verizon radios on a non-verizon or non-amazon phone? The baseband version is the same as my phone on stock the only difference being you have versions listed for Verizon and Amazon as well.
Thanks again for all the help.
@Q9Nap,
Thank you so much for these files.
Question:
Which one of the fastboot files is for the xt1607 U.S. Retail version?
Also, I have the xt1609 Verizon variant of the Moto G4 play. Can I flash the fastboot files for the xt1607 on my phone?
Since there are no gpt or bootloader files I'm wondering if it will work?
Thanks

The only difference between standard and verizon/amazon builds is the oem partition; everything else is the same.
So you could flash those radios, but the result wouldn't be any different.

If you've somehow managed to unlock the xt1609 bootloader, then yes you can use these files; afaik though, an unlock solution hasn't been released as of this writing.
I have flashed xt1609 files on my xt1607 successfully though, so it would work if the bootloader was unlocked.

Unfortunately the xt1609 bootloader is not unlockable at the moment. (neither is there any root method for it. Bummer, huh?)
I just thought that the files could be flashed through adb fastboot as long as I didn't try to flash the bootloader and gpt, which are not included in these files, but apparently the bootloader would still need to be unlocked.

[H850] Rooted, TWRP v10 to Nougat, how to do it?

Hi,
It should be simple, but I'm confused what to do and which version to install... I have EU, not branded H850 v10e. Rooted with TWRP so official update by Bridge or OTA isn't an option. I wanna move to Nougat, but how? I can't find any Nougat zip to use in TWRP, so I figure only option is to use LGUP. But what version should I install? All I can see are branded versions...
Could someone help me and provide a simplest and safest method to move to Nougat?
Also, TWRP and root isn't problematic in N, same procedure as on MM?
Thanks in advance,
Mark

You could try using TWRP to flash autoprime's zips from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/stock-h850-20a-eu-rom-flashable-zips-t3506514 and follow the OP instructions for rooting. You could also use LGUP to flash H85020a_00_OPEN_EU_OP_1030.kdz that autoprime has also posted at the link above. Just make sure you have the Nougat TWPR installed: twrp-3.0.2-1-h850.img, which can be found here https://dl.twrp.me/h850/
Thanks! For some reason I couldn't find this flashable N zip.... But on the weekend I already switch to N with LGUP

Most efficient way to update to pie?

Hi guys,
My v30 H930 (europe) is still on Android Oreo V22j. Now with the upcoming release of the less buggy version of Android Pie (v30q), I probably want to upgrade
I have TWRP installed and I have Magisk root (19.3).
What's the easiest way to upgrade to Pie (keep root ofc) and can I keep my data or do I have to wipe and set up as a new device?
Flash KDZ in LGUP as upgrade and reflash twrp/magisk?

Easiest is to wait for Pie zip and flash it.
It's a good idea to backup internal storage whenever you do a major upgrade.

Those links are still to beta version. People may update that way with their phones if they wish -- and thank you for providing that option -- but anyone should understand that's still technically beta.
When it's official, it will be released as full image KDZ and dev created TWRP flashable zips based on that full image KDZ will both be posted in the EU H930 KDZ thread.

Some people have, yes.
Dev doesn't recommend it. If it doesn't work, then you would need to wipe. See the TWRP flashable zip installation instructions.

I know its beta until officially released; just don't get the prejudice around it. It's way more stable than the official V30b kdz btw.
In OP's scenario it's even easier to use V30q, since he is already rooted. Just restoring the TWRP backup provided and re-rooting would do the job, with no need to wipe data.
