Hello,
I got a little problem with my lg g5.. I've unrooted my phone for a couple weeks ago to try and update to the latests version of android but I'm stuck at the part of updating.
Currently my phone is running android version 6.0.1 but I've seen that there is a newer version and I would love to install it on my phone but the notification that is popping up every day is nog working.
Hope somebody can help me.. Im really bad at this kinda things.
Do you have TWRP installed as a custom recovery? If so I understand your need to flash the default recovery img or updating from the phone will fail on reboot.
Check our autoprime's all in one guide that might help you troubleshoot and restore your phone to MM or N

Is there a way to check what custom recovery I've installed? It's been a while since I rooted my phone..
Turn off the phone or remove the battery. Then, hold down the volume down button and then the power button. Keep them both held till you see the LG logo, then release the power button and briefly press and hold the power button again. If successful you should see a white, factory restore menu. Use the volume keys to navigate and the power button to select yes on both the two screens. NB if you do not have a custom recovery this will factory restore your phone-so make a backup. If you do have a custom recovery, it should boot up e.g TWRP
From here you can flash the default boot loader img and then update ota

When I restart my phone and use those keys my phone is booting into the white screen where I can go into factory restore.. Do I need to install a custom recovery first?
Once in the white screen, to see if you do have a custom recovery installed, you need to select yes on both screens to enter the custom recovery. As I said before, if you do not have a custom recovery (such as TWRP) you will factory reset your phone and lose all settings so make backups first.
Before all that though, how did you root and into it your phone- that will give me an idea as to if you have a custom recovery installed

I've been using the bootloader unlock from this link
So you most likely flashed TWRP if you followed the instructions verbatim. How did in root?

Flashed the SuperSU with TWRP, it's down below at the tutorial page.
Now I only need to know what I need for the stock recovery and how I can update my phone
For the stock recovery, I have 6.01 10E stock recovery here https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3j5Gs11w3EqVzNwa0h3b2tVWmc/view?usp=drivesdk
Hopefully that should work. If not, you can extract the recovery image from the full zips on autoprime's all in one LG g5 post.
Good luck
Hope I will get it working xD Thanks for your help!

Hi,
I finally unlocked the BL on my Atrix (4.5.91 from AT&T)
I downloaded ROM Manager and installed CWM Recovery. I managed to boot into recovery from ROM Manager once but now it's not working.
I get the Motorola Logo and then it switches to the android logo with an exclamation mark
I was thinking of flashing the touch recovery, found information here:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/install-clockworkmod-recovery-touch-on-motorola-atrix-4g-how-to/
Is there a newer version? Are these instructions accurate? Do I need to be in fastboot to do this?
Also, I never flashed a ROM before
I really need a clear NOOB guide for doing this and would appreciate recommendations for ROM (if possible, ones that have Hebrew)
Thanks!!!
before you start digging an even bigger hole... STOP
you've already installed cwm so I don't know why you would need to install another version? Right now you need to get your phone up and running again.
Try these steps... power up phone holding the volume down button to get into recovery. Did that work? If so you should see the recovery menu - select data/facory reset and press power to select and then try and reboot system... does that work?
If not I think you'll need to flash the sbf file using rsd lite. Instructions are easy to find on here. Good luck.
I think I didn't explain myself properly.
The phone works 100%, I simply cannot boot into CWM recovery
when I power up holding the volume down button I get to what I think is the phone's default recovery. I get Fastboot as the first option and I can browse through with the volume down button
Anyways, what I would like to learn how to do is safely flash CWM Recover Touch (just because it's easier to use) and Flash ROMs
Thanks!!
Insure that rom manager is up to date, then reflash cwm recovery & try booting into recovery again.
www.HostileSlothRecords.blogspot.com
OK, I re-flashed CWM recovery and it's working now
Before I proceed, I would like to backup my current AT&T ROM.
1) do I do this through th Backup and Restore in the recovery?
2) is this called NANDROID backup?
3) is it safe to restore from it?
I created a backup and again it does not boot into recovery. same issue
Will I always need to reflash it after each time?
OK, it only boots into recovery once after I flash it. Even if I don't do anything
ROM Manager is the most recent version (5.0.0.7)
Recovery is the most recent version according to ROM Manager (5.0.2.0)
Anyone? please help

Hi guys
I am on ZV8 Odexed, manually flashed through TWRP over ZV4. Recently I have noticed something strange. I am not able to boot into TWRP recovery manually using hardware buttons. I am not very sure since when this problem has been there as I don't usually boot into recovery manually. The recovery is working fine when I reboot to recovery using some app from within the OS. I have been looking for a solution, but can't find anything. I have tried installing a new TWRP image using flashify, I have also tried restoring the ZV4 backup image, but didn't work. If someone has faced a similar problem / found a solution please share.

Thanks for replying. ...following are the steps I have been following. It used to work earlier. Don't know what went wrong. I recently flashed ZV8...can that be the reason?
Press and hold volume down button
Press and hold power button
Release both buttons when lg logo appears
Press and hold both buttons again
Press and hold power+vol dn together. Keep holding them until the screen says "recovery something".
You have to keep holding longer than just the" LG" logo pops up.
Thanks engine 95...it worked...kinda weird that earlier I had to press it twice...but it's working this way now.
Hi, I have this problem. I had rooted galaxy S3 i9300, with Android Revolution ROM. I wanted to flash Liquid Smooth ROM and I did something wrong because I soft bricked it. So I downloaded some stock ROM (Not the one I used to have, completely different one with older android I didn't notice version I looked for region) flashed it with Odin, then rooted phone with Odin and flashed CWM with Odin, so I could do nandroid restore of the older ROM I had. The problem is I can't get to CWM recovery. When I turn on phone while holding Vol-, Home and Power buttons, I don't see Samsung logo, I get straight to download mode. Somewhere I read that you need to install CWM first and then root, so I did that as well and it didn't help. Can I restore my backups some other way? Or what should I do?
Edit: I installed ROM manager and tried to install CWM. It downloaded and then I got Flashing 100/100 and nothing happened. It froze and CWM was not installed. Then I found app CWM (idk if it was there before I didn't notice it) So I tried to restore backup with that and it did not worked as well.
Actually I wouldn't mind using this older version, I would say it's faster than newer one, but my network is not working. No signal so I need to repair that fast bc I don't have any other backup phone.
I'd say your best bet would be to try:
Flashing your stock rom again using odin.
Let it reboot and load, then switch it off.
Go back into download mode and flash cwm or philz touch or whatever custom recovery you choose. Make sure you untick the reboot when finished option in odin or else the phone will revert back to stock recovery.
Unplug the phone and pull the battery.
Hold down the vol+ / home / power button for about 5 seconds and then let the power button go. This should load the recovery. Reboot from recovery and it should be a permanent fix.
I'd then root and apply supersu and then install a custom power menu (xposed module + gravitybox) which allows you to boot into recovery/download mode straight from the power menu.
Good luck.
I did what you said, installed stock ROM, right one (I guess), flashed cwm, unticked reboot, after that I unplugged phone and pulled out battery. And now, if I try to enter recovery I just enter download mode again. Idk what did I do wrong?

Press volume up for recovery. Volume down for download mode.

I'd say I'm above average when it comes to rooting and installing ROMS, but this one has be stumped. It may just be that I simply need to flash the stock ROM and try again, but here's my dilemma.
I successfully installed the correct version of TWRP for my tablet, as was I able to root it, but Xposed posed an issue. Upon flashing Wanam's custome Xposed zip, I am got the dreaded "Encryption Failed" screen. Assuming that Wanam's custom Xposed zip is what I need, because I'm using a Samsung device, what might I have done wrong? I have now formatted and wiped everything and am back to the setting up the device run through, but TWRP is still installed. If I do need to flash the stock ROM (firmware), I can't because I have not found it when searching here or Google.
If anyone has successfully installed TWRP, rooted, and installed Xposed on this tablet, I beg of your assistance. Also, a link to the stock firmware would be amazing.
EDIT: I will add that after I was able to get back to setting up the tablet and no longer facing the "Encryption" boot loop, as well as flashing Wanam's Xposed uninstall zip, I no longer have root and flashing the Chainfire SuperSU does not give root, but brings back the "Encryption" boot loop.
EDIT 2: I have found the stock firmware for this tablet. I found it on two file hosts. One is the well-known RapidGator. The other is an obscure (to me anyway) filehost called Alfafile. I am downloading it from Alfafile because RapidGator makes you pay for their premium service to download a file this large (1.6 GB), but the speed is awful to say the least. Once I download it, I want to share it. Where could I upload this that it would be available to everyone without paying a premium price, a site we are allowed to link on here??
Success... at last!
I did download the correct stock ROM (including boot.img, recovery.img and system.img). It was found as XAR-T580UEU1APG1-20160905144918.zip located HERE. This is the correct stock ROM for this device.
Before trying any of these steps, make sure you have installed the latest Samsung drivers. It may take a few minutes during some of these steps for the drivers to install. If at any point during these steps Windows has a notification that it is installing drivers, stop and wait until the drivers are finished installing. I noticed that a "Gadget Serial" installed when I connected my tablet to Odin in Download Mode. If that happens it's fine, let the drivers install before moving forward. Also it should be noted that this was performed using a PC with Windows 7 Professional.
COME WITH ME ON MY JOURNEY TO FREEDOM!
1. Boot in stock recovery
Hold Volume Up button + Home button + Power button
-OR-
Power off, wait for battery charge screen to come up, the hold Volume Up button + Home button + Power button
2. Wipe data & Factory reset
Press the Volume Down button until wipe data/factory reset is selected (highlighted/colored), then press the Power button, on the following screen use the Volume Up button or Volume Down button to select Yes and then press the Power button, once your screen is back on the main screen where you started, continue to step 3
3. Boot to Download Mode from stock recovery (do not boot to Android OS)
Press and hold Volume Down button + Home button + Power button
4. Odin, prep for flash and connect tablet (latest version, v3.12 at the time of this posting)
Open Odin and click options, then uncheck Auto reboot, and finally plugin your the USB cable into your tablet and PC. Once Odin recognizes your tablet, the far left box under ID:COM will turn blue and the Log tab will say "Added!!"
5. Flash TWRP custom recovery (twrp-3.0.2-0-gtaxlwifi.img.tar)
Click the AP button and find where you saved the TWRP zip.
Once the box next to AP is checked, click Start, if successful the Log will say "Successful 1 / Fail 0".
If this was successful, move on to step 6. Note that you don't have to unplug your tablet from the PC, just close Odin.
6. Boot to TWRP recovery (do not boot to Android OS). This step can be a tricky one and requires good timing. It is important to do these steps quickly.
From Download Mode, press and hold the Volume Down button + Home button + Power button (the Download Mode combo) until the screen goes black, then immediately press and hold the Volume Up button + Home button + Power button (the Recovery mode combo). You must switch from the Download Mode button combo to the Recovery Mode button combo before the Galaxy Tab boot screen appears. If you're too slow, you will have to go back to flash the stock ROM back to the tablet and start back at step 1.
Once in Recovery Mode, swipe the bar at the bottom of the screen, tap mount, and verify that the box next to Data is checked. Once that is verified, you can flash the SuperSU (SR4-SuperSU-v2.78-SR4-20161115184928.zip).
If you had not already copied it to your tablet, you can do this now since Windows should recognize it and allow you to copy the zip file to the table. You can also copy it to the external SD card if you have one and flash from there.
Once you have the SuperSU on your tablet, tap install from the main TWRP screen and then find it (you may have to search the folders), tap on it, and then tap install. If you are wanting to flash Xposed (xposed-v87.1-sdk23-arm-custom-build-by-wanam-20161125.zip), or the boot image patcher (no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx.zip), do not check the reboot box. Just swipe and flash SuperSU. Once done, go back and select the Xposed zip and flash. Once it is finished, go ahead and reboot, unless you also want to flash the boot image patcher to remove encryption. If you do, install, flash, and then reboot system.
NOTE: If you are going to flash all 3 (SuperSU, boot image patcher, and Xposed) do them in that order.
7. Confirm your work
Once Android is booted, check the SuperSu app and you'll verify you're rooted. Go ahead and reboot into TWRP recovery and you're Data partion is mounted and unencrypted. Now go ahead and install Xposed Installer (XposedInstaller_3.1.1.apk) and you're ready to download and use Xposed modules.
I followed these steps and have my Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2016) (Model SM-T580NZWAXAR) rooted, unencrypted (data partition mounts in TWRP recovery), and Xposed framework installed flawlessly with no boot loops, no lost Data partition, no Encryption errors, and no hassel. All credit for the mentioned files and part of the steps to achieve this go to those that the credit is due. My contribtion is merely my journey and this 5 times tested, yes, I completely wiped and formatted my entire device and did this method 4 more times after I had success before writing this, to help others that might be frustrated for days as I was.

Why should it be necessary to flash the whole ROM again?
I know that many ROMs reset the recovery to default, if TWRP hasn't patched the system, but then it should be enough to flash the custom recovery again.

When flashing the custom recovery, your Data will be unencrypted until you boot to Android OS.
In order to have an unencrypted Data partition, you have to follow these instructions in this order. If you are too slow and boot into the Android OS, you have missed the step and Data will become encrypted. Going back to Stock will once again reset the Data partition to unencrypted in order to properly make it permanently unencrypted.
Anyone unencrypted Data partition is needed in order to flash SuperSU, Xposed, the unencrypted method, or anything else in TWRP. The only exception may be flashing from external sd.
Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this should answer your question.
Wow thank you worked so well best of all guides

To achieve this it is sufficient to format data partition in TWRP before flashing files, see https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ifi-galaxy-t3437666/post68154208#post68154208

You might have done what I did which is flash twrp.img in recovery.. it won't go back to initial password screen. I did that and had the same issues.. I recently did it.. now it only restores backups which is how I got lineage or other rooms back.. after wiping the system partition, it also only flashes stock debloated room, but anything else I flash crash system partition.. I'm going to start over but with treble recovery in root process and just avoid messing with it..

Aroma gapps don't work for me but other gapps does.. I found out the hard way cause I didn't see any information on it in the threads.. I read it's a common issue with TWRP recovery on multiple devices..

Exactly what happens to me try the aroma installer from gapps project and everything went down hill now I flashed the stock one they have.
How can I delete Google apps installed by gapps without making other Google apps crash
Did you not have a backup of your rom using twrp before you made the change? Isn't that the whole point of having twrp and a phone with SD card? Always backup your whole phone before making a change. It has saved my phone many times.

Yes I had a back up but it was twrp acting up by not being able to boot.
My phone was just booting back to twrp even when pressing power off some how by finally powering off the device (letting it discharge all the way) that was the only thing that fix it me twrp started working fine after that
My twrp has been acting funny/unpredictable. Or I am not doing something right. Mostly has to do with the restore function. I generally have two separate roms backed up in restore. But, lately, I will see only one listed. When I get back to the phone and check in my root manager, I will see them both listed. And then later, it (Rom) "might or might not" return to the restore function area.
But, lately it seems that when I restore the system, I can not open it up in the lock screen (does not recognize the pin). I have to turn the phone off, then use the vol down and power button to get back into twrp. Luckily, I have a couple of roms downloaded in the install section which then does let me flash and reboot, but I have to start new/over.
I don't know if reflashing twrp in recovery will help or not (have never done it).
I'm afraid one of these times I will some how get locked out or not be able to flash a good rom.

But, lately it seems that when I restore the system, I can not open it up in the lock screen (does not recognize the pin). I have to turn the phone off, then use the vol down and power button to get back into twrp. Luckily, I have a couple of roms downloaded in the install section which then does let me flash and reboot, but I have to start new/over.
I don't know if reflashing twrp in recovery will help or not (have never done it).
I'm afraid one of these times I will some how get locked out or not be able to flash a good rom.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
when it doesnt recognize your pin, go (in twrp file manager) to /data/system/ and delete the locksettings.db(-sh/-wal) files...
I think that was the path, you can google that too ^^
Thx, SGCMarkus, I did delete just the one db only file. It did away with the pin unlock code on reboot (but I did not do a restore, just a reboot back into my system), so I assume it will work. I will try it when I have time. I think that deletion has to be done everytime in twrp, because the line does reappear the next time I booted back into twrp?
Thx.
