How do I update? (Teamwin & US99820a) - LG V30 Questions & Answers

I got an OTA update a bit ago for US99820a (B&H -Verizon-, unlocked and rooted US998 V30)... I haven't attempted an install (in fact I blocked it and deleted the file), but I'd like to update. I waited a month or so just to ensure a solid rooted update was made by the great peeps here....but.....
How do I do it? Lol....
Which update here is correct as I didn't see a US99820a posted here and also... What are the quick instructions to do so? I've not upgraded via teamwin before and would rather not mess anything up, ha.
Thank you for any assistance. ?

Just install via TWRP a stock debloat rom from the rom/kernels forums. You have a couple of options to install and are compatible with the US998.

Thank you, I'll look closer... But once I download what options do I select in TWRP to upgrade safely?

You can do a backup on TWRP and if you dont like what you've done, simply boot TWRP again and restore your phone. The following link is a stock rom (unrooted). Flash it via TWRP and then flash the latest magisk (link provided in the same thread). Happy flashing!

I do the following:
Download to external sd card. (If you have one)
-Backup to external SD (So I don't loose it.)
-Wipe caches, Data, system, storage (if you backed up to the storage then DON'T WIPE IT. I wipe it because my backup is in the external SD card.
-Flash the rom
-Flash magisk
-Wipe caches
-Reboot.

That's what I was looking for, thank you.

Cyanogen 10 bootloop

i have a little problem:
i just installed cyanogen 10, and all went great, except it won't do anything
it's just the blue icon on the start, and it's like that for hours, until the battery over
is there something i can do, or is complety bricked?
Doesn't sound like everything went all that great then!
What recovery did you use to flash the ROM? Did you wipe the device as per instructions first? Can you reboot into recovery mode? What ROM were you on before?
Just as a tip, you'll have to provide more detail and show you are trying to resolve the problem or you will find yourself on your own more often than not...

well, i'm kinda new to this, so i used this post on xda:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803593 (my samsung tablet is 10.1, not 10.1v, i don't know if it makes the diference)
there was step 7 that says:
7. Once in recovery: clean cache & clean dalvik cache. (I did a full wipe to be sure I don't report bugs to pershoot which are linked to data problems).
and i remember clean cache, but the dalvik cache i couldn't find it
the rom i had was the same from the store, androind 3.2 i guess
and yes, i can go to the recovery mode, what can i do?
The first thing you shouod always to before flashing roms is make a backup in CWM recovery. If you have a backup then go to restore in recovery and restore it ans start over. Dalvnik cache is in the advanced section of CWM recovery. So is format system if you need to that per the instruction provided by the rom's OP.

i didn't made a backup, so there is any file that can bring the old system back (android 3.2) ?
or is it possible to do directly on the CWM menu? (if there is, how do i do it? )
and thanks in advance for your help
Your going to have to use ODIN to get back to stock 3.2. Use the Unrooting process outlined I this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474971. THIS WILL WIPE YOUR SD CARD PARTITION. From there, reflash clockworkmod recovery with ODIN, but use the one provided by pershoot on his blog if you plan to flash one of his experimental CM builds. Goodluck! Follow all steps carefully, perform all necissary wipes. Oh and the first thing to do after you flash clockworkmod is perform a backup!

Yes, but for that you will need root. Place the play store apk in system/app and give it permissions -r -r -w
That's all I can think of at the moment. Maybe some one else will have another suggestion :-/

You could ve flashed the wrong firmware or the one for different country.
try checking the firmware version and country version.
Still not working ?
Get a working store apk from Google.
No?
Use some other market temporarily like appbrain.

[How-To] Update to G900T_OB1-5.0 and KeepRoot w/Knox(0x0)

**You can begin the following process from any Build/ROM but you must already have Root Access**
**Required** FlashFire - Play BETA - PREVIEW
1. Join the G+ community using the same Google account as you're using for Play on your phone/tablet Here.
2. Sign up to receive the BETA versions from Play Here.
- Use the link provided after sign-up to download the app.
**Caution!** The process below is only for the G900T T-Mobile S5 Variant. Use on any other device may result in a hardbrick!
Download:
- G900T_OB1_Stock_Rooted_ROM
- G900T_OB1_Stock_DeOdexed_ROM
Set screen timeout to 10 mins before beginning!
1. Place the ROM onto your device (use either internal or ext-sdcard).
2. Open the FlashFire app and "Agree" to the Terms and Conditions.
3. Press "(+)" twice to bring up the "Actions" menu.
4. Select "Flash Zip or OTA" and locate and select the ROM. Leave "Auto-mount" unchecked under the "Options" menu and press the checkmark to continue.
5. From the main menu Uncheck all options under "EverRoot" and use default "Reboot" setting.
6. Last, press the lightning bolt then "Ok" to begin the flash .
The screen will turn black then display the contents of your system before beginning the flash. FlashFire will pause for about 1 minute while flashing the "system" partition. Once complete your device will reboot and pause on the T-Mobile splash screen for about 1 -2 minutes (10 - 15 mins for the DeOdexed version) before completely rebooting. Done!
Tip: for blazing fast speed turn off animations from Developer Options and reboot!
Known Issues:
- None!
Optional - Enable Native Tethering:
- G900T_OB1_TetherAddOn (Flash using FlashFire's "Flash Zip or OTA" option).
Notes:
1. This process will not affect your knox warranty flag.
2. The above process will update your Modem, Non-hlos, System, Kernel, Stock Recovery, and Bootloader to OB1. No need to wipe prior to flashing!
3. If you are currently unrooted and on a non-"Towelroot-able" firmware version you must first a)downgrade to G900TUVU1ANE5 using Odin(perform a factory data reset from recovery after flashing), b)root using Towelroot, then continue with the above process.
Anyone confirmed this for the G900T with pictures and all? If it works, I'll give it an update to the compilation thread.

You can but the whole point is to not use TWRP because it trips your warranty flag.
I just tried this and KNOX has not been tripped. Once my phone has completed the update I'll upload some screenshots.
EDIT:
I apologize for not providing links but I'm below the 10 post threshold.
Mods, I'm just trying to contribute but understand if you need to edit this.
Hope this is enough, if you'd like more please let me know.

Is there any way of flashing through Odin to go back to KitKat? Just being cautious. If this works great than thanks for all the hard work. Been waiting for this.

I just went back to KitKat today from stock G900T OTA update. I googled "downgrade galaxy s5 lollipop to kitkat" and the 1st option was a tutorial from AndroidCentral titled "TUTORIAL: Downgrade Samsung Galaxy S5 from 5.0 to 4.4 KitKat."
I successfully downgraded to 4.4.2 after 2 reboots and running "wipe data/factory reset". From there I followed the steps in OP for rooted 5.0 Lollipop.

so supper use will work ok been in other post they claim super su was giving them problems.?????
getting error message can't open package when it reboots and goes to the mobile odin screen. This happens after it tries to flash the package. Anybody have any ideas why? I have tried three times.
a bit late for me as i tripped knox but glad this worked out.

People previously attempted this method by using the inject SuperSU option in MobileOdin. The problem is MobileOdin uses SuperSU v1.94 which is incompatible with 5.0.
Users are now instructed in the OP to untick the inject SuperSU option. Instead the ROM is pre-rooted with SuperSU v2.46.
Worked flawlessly, thanks muniz!

I actually intended to include in the instructions to check "wipe data and cache" and "wipe dalvik." But I have not seen anyone report any issues that may stem from not doing so.
Thanks muniz_ri!!!
Work great. I didn't have to wipe cache or dalvik cache.

(Q) How do I keep root with Lollipop

Hey everyone. How are you guys able to keep root with 5.1? After the update, towelroot didn't stick. Nor could I reinstall it. Supersu doesn't have access either. What do you guys recommend?
You have to re root.

I used towelroot before, but now it says it can't support my device. How did you re-root your device? Did you do it within 5.1? Also, did re-installing TWRP work for you? I lost mine.
This is method I used before. tr.apk

I think someone said you have to use ADB to flash the new TWRP that is compatible with L on our devices and then flash SuperSU.
I just went back to 2.8.0.0 and it worked for me. Is there a newer version of TWRP?

It pretty easy to get root and TWRP. Here are the instructions, taken from another thread. (Do you guys even read this stuff?)
Credit to Foltz61.
1. Boot to bootloader.
2. Fastboot boot TWRP-L.img
3. Install supersu-2.49.zip (even though I didn't lose root)
4. Reboot back to system.
5. Reboot back to bootloader.
6. fastboot flash recovery TWRP-L.img.
7. fastboot reboot.
8. Boot to recovery and had TWRP
Thanks, I'll try it tomorrow. It's a bit hard to keep track of like 5 threads and 10 new pages in each thread each day.
Does it matter which SuperSU ZIP version we use? Chainfire website shows 2.46.

I was wondering the same thing. Could someone provide us with a link to a tested supersu-x.xx.zip so we may have it in one thread.
At this time it would be best to not flash twrp. Instead fastboot boot twrp.img then install beta.SuperSU. 2.49

Lollipop will check the recovery partition and if it isn't stock it will put it back. In order for TWRP to stick you must boot TWRP after you install to allow it to patch the lollipop rom. TWRP must not be read only or else it cannot install supersu nor patch.
You guys got a lot to learn, but this is good, because now maybe some of you will pick up some experience and grow while here on XDA

In addition, do not use TWRP from the official twrp website until Dees_Troy gets around to updating his personal device tree since they do not accomondate for the changes seen in Lollipop. You have been officially warned. Unless you like sweats, tears, and heartaches.

How to Update Rooted 20E to 20J

I have rooted my MM6.0 (H90120e) couple of months back and just heard that we have a new version 20j with bluetooth and battery life fixes. How can I update my phone to 20j. It will be great if I can go to 20j from my current rooted 20e without losing root. But if it is not possible am OK with losing root too (in that case you need to help me with re-rooting). If OTA/dirty flash is not possible, I am OK backing it up and then updating.
Please advise. Thanks in advance.

[ROM] [STOCK] [H901] V10_H901_V20J_Stock_Custom_2e [08/15/2016]
I did this. Basically, flash "part 1", reboot recovery, flash "part 2", profit. Make SURE the part 1 you use is for 20J.
I did clean flash, as is always recommended, however OP said he did dirty with no issues, YMMV.

Thanks. Sorry, am bit confused after reading that post. Am no expert in these stuff. Could you please give me the exact steps to follow provided I am trying dirty flash.
There are detailed instructions later in that thread. I literally downloaded the 20J part 1, 20J full part 2, rebooted to recovery, flashed part 1, rebooted again to recovery, flashed part 2, reboot.
If you're rooted on 20E, your bootloader is already unlocked, so you don't need any of the other steps.

I have downloaded the Part 1 and Part 2 and copied it to the phone. Will be trying it tonight.
Just to confirm the steps:
1) Go to recovery with "adb reboot recovery" and then flash Part 1. (I tried Power and Vol down, but didn't work for me. Is there a way without using a computer)
2) Flash Part 1
3) Reboot to Recovery (Is that needed? Is there an option in TWRP to reboot to Recovery again? Sorry I forgot. If not how to reboot to recovery after the first flash)
4) Flash Part 2.
5) Reboot to full system.

Thank you guys. Dirty flashed as mentioned and everything looking good.
For others in the same situation, below are the steps I followed.
1) Downloaded and saved 20J Part 1 and and 20J Full Part 2 and copied those to phone.
2) Rebooted the phone to recovery from Quick Boot app. (Hope any option will work instead - adb, hardware keys)
3) Flashed Part 1
4) Rebooted to recovery again
5) Flashed Part 2
6) Reboot
I didn't do any cleanup/wipe. But everything looks to be good. Didn't have to re-root or anything. To be on the safe side, I backed up some important data and apps using Titanium before the upgrade. But no issues happened during the procedure.
Thanks again.
I'm new to this device in general. I'm on stock unrooted 20e. So 20j will help battery?

Yes it is slightly improved and there is no drawback to update to v20j. Only thing is you cannot downgrade it afterwards (it will brick your device) but I don't see any reason to downgrade, 20J is better than earlier versions.
Thanks, I had the same doubts

View 10 - BKL-L04 - Bringing it all together

My phone is an Honor View 10 model BKL-L04 (American model) build 8.1.0.133 (C567GT).
These are the steps that I used to remove the stock firmware and recovery and replace them with something more to my taste. I did < 1% of the actual work here, I'm just putting everything that I did in once place so that other people may not have to look so hard to find answers.
Requirements
View 10 - If you don't have one then you're in the wrong place. Do NOT follow these directions for any other phone as both the directions and the links are specific to the model mentioned above.
Cash/PayPal - Most of us don't have the skills to pry out the bootloader unlock code ourselves so we must pay someone who does. God knows the manufacturer isn't going to help us out here
SD Card - You can probably get this done purely on internal storage, but weren't you going to put in a nice, big SD card anyway?
SD Card Writer (optional) - You'll need a way to load files onto the card prior to flashing. IMHO getting an SD card writer is the simplest way, but to each their own.
Unlocking
This guy will get you an unlock code for your View 10 for $22 (USD). Order a Bootloader Unlock Code, select the Huawei option "with IMEI", put BOTH of your IMEI numbers in the comments field, submit it and pay via PayPal. I got a code in about an hour. Once you have the code you can follow these directions to perform the unlocking process. If you need a bit more help getting though it then try this guide.
Flash Recovery
Don't use the official TWRP images. As of Dec 8, 2018 neither 3.2.1-0 nor 3.2.1.-1 worked for me (-0 dropped to fastboot after a few seconds and -1 caused a bootloop when entering recovery). Use the latest unofficial image from this page. Directions included. More detailed directions can be found here but make sure to use the TWRP image from the first link.
Copy Zips
Now pick out a ROM (I went with LineageOS 15.1) and copy all the zips you need to your SD card. The list probably includes the ROM itself, gapps, and some type of su/root package. Put them all on your card.
Flash ROM
If you're going with LIneageOS 15.1 as I did then this guide should get you the rest of the way. It has the links for the ROM itself as well as gapps and the su package. Again, be very careful to match exactly your phone model and architecture (arm64 for the View 10) when grabbing these packages.
Extras
You can find the latest stock firmware image for the BKL-L04 here. Be damn sure your phone matches mine before you use it! If you need to pull out the stock recovery for any reason, you can use the update extractor to do this (grab recovery_ramdisk), then flash it the same way you flash TWRP.
Good luck and have fun! I'll try to help if you get stuck but the real knowledgeable people are those that wrote the articles I've linked to.
Cheers!

Is "twrp_bkl_0.7.img" the latest one?
As of Dec 9 I believe it is, yes.

I didn't have that issue when I was first flashing the ROM, but I do now. If you're having it prior to flashing your ROM would it be because you didn't wipe & format beforehand? The guide I linked in step 5 leads you through this procedure if you need it.
As far as the unmounting error, I think that's something we'll have to live with until the issue is corrected in TWRP.

I think it works if you wipe/format first. The guide I linked walks you through this.

Hmm. Well, you can either try one of the official builds (here) or wait for the guy doing our customized build to fix this issue. You might even post a note on this thread describing your issue so that he can track how many people are having it.
Sorry I couldn't be more help. The View 10 is not the easiest phone to work with by a long shot.

You have told that you have formatted your device, if you have formatted it from twrp it will cause issues, you should format it from emui system settings.
