few days before i restart my phone into recovery mode as a result my entire data go deleted as it factory reset my phone (first time i have noticed that by entering recovery mode phone got factory reset)
however now i have managed to installed twrp but now scared into recovery mode as i am not sure it was successfully installed or not.. IF NOT then again my phone will be factory reset
kindly any one let me know how do i check that my phone has TWRP or not
First, more information. What version of the stock ROM are you on (10B, 12B, etc) and what way did you install TWRP?
You can always use the superuser terminal commands in @bweN diorD 's stickied thread in General to pull an .IMG of your currently installed recovery, then you can use am Android app like @scary alien 's AFV / Android File Verifier to check the MD5 hash of what you pulled and compare it to the MD5 of what you flashed.
10b and used twrp manager from playstore
The rest of process u mentioned was gone above my head.. Kindly let me know easy way any software which cal tell me twrp installed or not

There's no other way other than what I told you unless TWRP Manager reports what's installed. TWRP Manager has never failed to install TWRP for me on any ROM that's supported, which includes 10B, not sure about 12B, but definitely not any newer, 23C, 24B or 35B. If you're on 10B, you installed TWRP Manager, gave it root permissions and told it to install TWRP for the VS985 I wouldn't have any doubt that it worked. I've done it in that same scenario several times.
To clarify not working on 23C and above, it will actually install TWRP just fine on any of them. You just either won't be able to use it, or you won't be able to boot the ROM after, or both, because of the secure boot error, but that has nothing to do with TWRP itself.
@bender_007 's autorec app will install an older version of TWRP just fine on 23C or 24B. The one in the Play Store is ONLY for 23C and if you expand the description of the app, he gives a link to his XDA thread in the non-Verizon G3 General section, where has separate versions for 23C and 24B. Once you use his app on 23C or 24B, you can flash the latest version from the older version.
Can confirm about autorec, I used it on version 24B to install TWRP, but I accidentally installed it in 35B and got the secure boot error. I was able to boot to recovery right before that however, so if this happens to you, you can boot to TWRP using the Volume Down + Power button trick to get into custom recovery and choosing "Factory data reset" which won't delete your data, and connect your phone to a PC to move your stuff out before restoring it.
Anyway, if you're comfortable with ADB I have successfully flashed TWRP with these instructions

You were able to use ADB to install TWRP on 35B or 24B? I'm trying to get it on 35B rooted with Kingroom and replaced with SuperSU and keep getting the Secure Boot Error.

So today i decided to update magisk to its latest versio, it all whet well,i did within android. later on in the day i decided to reboot myphone, and to my surprise it got stuck o thelgv30 thinq scree, after decide 10m was enough i rebooted and the it was stuck in bootloop, so i decided to restore my nanddroid , after it was done i hit reboot to system, and now it will only noot to fastootmode,, its as if there is nothing flashed to boot or system. any help will greatly appreciated.
EDIT: VERY OLD POST; WE CAN NOW USE NEWER MAGISK

By "latest" you mean Magisk beta? You can only use stable 16.0 Magisk. Stated in the bootloader unlock/TWRP/root instructions that beta Magisk will mess up your phone.
Download Magisk or SuperSu. Magisk 16 (Use stable Magisk -- which right now is 16.0! Magisk "beta" will mess up your phone.)

Probably. First Master Reset to clear everything. SEE if that works. Post 101 of the Frankenstein thread.
If that doesn't work, then go into download mode manually, then open dev patched LGUP and reflash Oreo KDZ.
Then use ADB to reinstall TWRP, and go from there. Your bootloader will already be unlocked so you'll continue to get the "scary" bootloader unlock warning. But you'll otherwise be following the instruction of the bootloader unlock thread, except for the bootloader unlock part.

Download kdz flashable zip then extract it. Flash the system.img and boot.img file via fastboot
This just happened to me today. It was either from the newest Magisk (v22) or from the newest YouTube Vanced. Those were the only things that changed recently on my phone. Rebooted today and it will only go to Fastboot mode and that's it.
Master Reset will get me into TWRP, but I think my USB port on the phone is damaged, it will charge but neither my Windows nor Linux PCs will recognize that it's plugged in. So it's like only USB charging works but not USB data. So I think I'm screwed, idk if it's fixable. Sad day.
Am also stack here qhile trying to unlock my bootloader using @bilong9 thread on my v300l .please help
This also happened to me while trying to update to Magisk 22. First I had an error with Magisk in a restart cycle, then when I tried to update manually from the APK I got stuck in a fastboot loop with no ADB access. I was able to boot to TWRP from fastboot on my PC, then re-flash the Pie image. My settings were all lost, but I did get my phone back at least. BEWARE of Magisk 22, or at least until it's fixed for the V30!
edit: I found that I COULD install Magisk 22.0.zip while following these instructions for restoring my phone:
LG V30/V30+/V30S Bootloader Unlock & Root Method (With Clear Instructions)
(WTF...!) LG V30/V30+/V30S Bootloader Unlock & Root Method (With Clear Instructions) WTF...! LG V30,V30+,V30S (MOST VARIANTS) BOOTLOADER UNLOCK, TWRP, ROOT INSTRUCTIONS HERE >>>CLICK HERE TO POST #193
forum.xda-developers.com
after a few extra prompts from the Magisk app, v22 now works.
I've had no issues using Magisk v22 with an LOS 17.1 (Android 10) based ROM. It could just be that there's a problem with it on either LG stock or Pie ROMs.
UPDATE
* Variant: US998 US Cellular/Carrier Unlocked
* ROM: Rooted Stock Pie (US99830b)
* Magisk: v21.4
So it seems the issue is not that it "soft bricks", but something about the new installation process of Magisk v22 goes wrong with the /boot partition, causing the phone to only be able to boot into Fastboot mode.
After getting my phone fully recovered and restored from the last failed attempt (and making a new TWRP backup), I attempted the v22 update again. First Magisk attempted to download and install the new v22 app, and then a popup notification said "additional setup is required for your device, press OK to reboot". So I hit okay, and that's when once again I got stuck in Fastboot with no other options.
If you have a TWRP/nandroid backup, you can easily fix this by performing the Master Reset process in order to boot into TWRP, and then just Restoring the /boot partition from your TWRP backup. This will get you back to Magisk v21.4 where you were before, which is where I'm currently at.
At this time, unless Magisk releases a TWRP-flashable .zip for v22, or unless there's a way to update to v22 via Fastboot, it doesn't look like updating to v22 will be possible, at least for the Stock Pie ROM.
I've seen on both reddit and XDA that several people are saying they updated to v22 without issue, but it's unclear if they were on Stock or Custom ROM. My guess would be that Custom ROMs are probably working fine and it's the Stock ROM that's having the issue.

I simply renamed the available .apk to .zip and it flashed in TWRP.
edit: the ROM I'm using is from this thread, which says it is 99% stock, whatever that means.
Hi,
I have a H932, unlocked bootloader and twrp installed twice as advised in thisthread.
I've tried liquid, lineage and Resurrection and all of them except RR bootloop. I'm assuming because it is a GSI? I'm flashing the H932 versions of all these roms.
I must have missed something so if anyone has any suggestions?
I wonder if it's because I'm using TWRP 3.2.3-7 instead of 3.3.0 but I couldnt flash the No_Verity files using the latest version so had to drop back to 3.2.3-7. If this is the case, how do I flash those files to ensure I don't get encrypted. What happens if I don't flash the files and end up encrypted?
I am clutching at straws here, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
My lineage is tested on H932, and works ?
Whats your flashing process exactly?
Wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache (after you took a backup)
and then flash
ROM, Gapps, (optionally) Magisk
For encryption: all AOSP roms have /data set to encryptable, not forceencrypt, so except you (try to) enable encryption in the settings, it wont do anything (and even that is broken to my knowledge)

Hey, thanks for the response. I'm just reading through the [ROOT] H932 - lafploit 1.5 up to v20k thread again and realised I haven't flashed a stock Oreo TWRP flashable rom before flashing lineage. Do I need to do this?
I have factory reset in TWRP and wiped system, data, cache / dalvik and then flashed the rom, gapps, magisk and No_Verity 6.
If not flashing an Oreo rom is the issue, can you recommend one? I've got a 3 gig H932_20o.zip from the root thread, but really I'm just interested in the custom roms.

Well, I hope that solves your issues. But yeah, you are using correct TWRP and yeah you do need newer stock firmware than Nougat before flashing custom ROMs.

Thanks again, I'm rocking Lineage from February and everything seems to be working great.
I'm just wondering if someone can actually clarify what I've done by following the H932 TWRP and Root guide. I've been flashing roms since the days of the original XDA and the HTC HD2, but this seems like one of the wierder devices and I'd really like to understand what's going on.
So I have 2 versions of TWRP. One on LAF and one on the bootloader?
What is LAF?
In my haste I flashed the old H932_20o which works for now and has made the february Pie roms work, but I would like to flash the H932_20r from here, as from what I understand this is necessary to ensure less issues with the April pie roms. If I flash the full version of this, will it overwrite LAF?
Do I even need to retain TWRP on LAF when it's already on the bootloader? Do I need to boot back into FWUL and run the script from there to get TWRP back onto LAF if the 20o rom overwrote it? I'd try and find out myself, but it seems the only way to get into the TWRP on the LAF is to hold down and go through that wipe process with the white screens, which i'd rather avoid.
No one seems to talk about vendor images being flashed to match the latest security updates. Is this becuase LG are so slow in releasing vendor updates?
Apologies for all the questions. I appreciate that these have probably been answered already, but they are spread across multiple vendors of hundereds of pages and I'm having trouble piecing all this information together.

Why 20r? Why not newer 20s?
LAF TWRP is redundant and you no longer have LGUP Download mode, since you wiped it out from flashing 2nd copy of TWRP over your LAF partition.

So if I flash the full stock, it'll update the LAF, recovery, bootloader and modem firmware. Which is presumably what I want if I want to be on the most up to date vendor, modem etc.
But if it overwrites LAF and the bootloader with stock presumably somehow I've got to get TWRP back onto it? Can I just flash a TWRP image to the bootloader straight after the stock flash or do I need to go back to FWUP to do this?
I think I'll wait for the 20s version, but it'd be useful to fully understand what's going on so I don't brick it.
If I do brick it, can I just go back to LG UP and flash the 10d version and follow the guide again?
OK, should read properly:
None of these Zips flash the Recovery partition.
Besides StockLAF, these Zips DO NOT flash the LAF partition.

This is TWRP-flashable zip. You will not lose TWRP custom recovery. Why would you brick it?
You need to read the instructions, please.
IF you flash the LAF file, you will regain Download mode and "lose" the redundant copy of TWRP you also flashed over your LAF partition.
"Flashing LAF WILL REMOVE TWRP from your laf partition and restore stock DL Mode"
"None of these Zips flash the Recovery partition."
You may have to flash the no encryption and no root check files again, besides Magisk.

You have it in two places right now. In your recovery partition (normal), as it's TWRP custom recovery that replaces the useless stock recovery.
And due to the way the H932 root Instructions are written you also flashed it over your LAF partition, where your Download mode WAS. Right now, you no longer have LGUP Download mode if you wanted to use that, and instead you have TWO copies of TWRP.
In the WTF INSTRUCTIONS, we never do that. However, the dev who rooted the H932 (and wrote those Instructions) feels there's an advantage to having TWO copies of TWRP and giving up LGUP Download mode. Been discussed in depth elsewhere and we've agreed to disagree.
When you flash H932 20R TWRP flashable zip, you can choose to keep both copies of TWRP or you can choose to restore your Download mode and have the normal recovery partition copy of TWRP. Your choice.

Right now you couldn't flash a KDZ if you wanted to, as you no longer have Download mode. Instead you have redundant 2nd copy of TWRP where LGUP Download mode used to live.
All you can install right now is TWRP- flashable zips or ROMs.
Thank you, that's super helpful. I really appreciate your patience.
So just one last question and I think I'm clear........ I'll avoid getting into a debate about the merits of 2 TWRP's vs Download mode.........
If I restore LAF and have a download mode at any point I can flash the 10d firmware and start over.
The flip side, is that I can then only get into TWRP by holding down + power - hold and release power and going through the "factory reset" process to access the recovery, or getting an app that boots directly into TWRP. But the assumption is that the rom is bootable for that to work.
Seems strange that it makes you do a factory rese to the device to access the recovery.
Basically, just don't flash anything over the recovery.

I never get into TWRP that way. What you are describing is the hardware button dance, which is only for emergencies.
To boot to TWRP initially (first time after installation) you simply use fastboot boot recovery command. You're already connected to the computer.
After that your use the Reboot Recovery app, as STONGLY suggested in the WTF INSTRUCTIONS. Put shortcut on your main screen.

_________
TLDR:
* flash twrp: fastboot flash TWRP.img (TWRP-3.2.3-7-default.img re-named as just "TWRP.img")
* boot twrp: fastboot boot TWRP.img (TWRP-3.2.3-7-default.img re-named as just "TWRP.img")
* swipe to allow modifications (do NOT leave read-only, TWRP NEEDS to be able to make changes to your system.)
* select WIPE, then also FORMAT DATA, then type yes
* wipe cache, dalvik, data
* flash magisk 18.0.
* flash encryption disabler
* flash root disabler
* reboot
STRONG SUGGESTION: After successfully doing all this, when you finally boot back to LG Oreo, install THIS app to easily facilitate rebooting to TWRP recovery in the future: Recovery Reboot
Also, please make another TWRP backup.

Yes. Whereas without Download mode, you could NOT flash 10d KDZ and start over. Now you are beginning to understand why I (personally, my opinion) do not advocate giving up Download mode...

I never get into TWRP that way. What you are describing is the hardware button dance, which is only for emergencies.
To boot to TWRP initially (first time after installation) you simply use fastboot boot recovery command. You're already connected to the computer.
After that your use the Reboot Recovery app, as STONGLY suggested in the WTF INSTRUCTIONS. Put shortcut on your main screen.

If it's H932, there's no way you can access twrp via fastboot. Fastboot just fancy bootloader (un)locker there. Is that all about twrp on laf Vs. twrp on recovery? I know, we can boot up twrp via device reset combination, but then how to access laf's twrp? Does vol up + power works? Let me assume that twrp only managed to handle "customization things" and DL mode laf for "lastest hope". If one twrp can't handle some "recovery" task, so two trwp(s) won't get things better. But download mode certainly does.
I'm currently sitting at TWRP and was going to restore my backup... it's gone. I was going to reboot to OS... TWRP warns me I have no OS installed.
In my tired state trying to solve an unrelated problem I must have killed my backup a few hours ago without noticing and then decided to use TWRP to format my phone so I could restore my backup... that I previously killed.
What can I do from this state? My brain is fried from hours of trying various troubleshooting threads across the internet and I'm just at a loss how to install the OS again without bricking and I don't want to make a mistake.
Appreciate the help. I do have US998820e_02_0910.kdz downloaded on my PC which is the latest KDZ I have downloaded.

I feel that's not correct... could I not use LGUP or copy over a basic backup provided by someone here just to get me back to point where I can get back to stock?
If I plug the phone into the PC I can access the storage.... could I not copy something over and then use the running TWRP to install it?

Oh i mean that your backup is already gone completely no way to get back your backup. And ofcourse you can flash a new rom anew
Lol, that's what I thought... But I'm also very tired.
Can I just copy over my KDZ and then install via TWRP? I've always just used backups in the past.
This is a secondary phone that was wiped before anyways so I haven't lost anything important.... The backup was only there to speed things up.
If you are in TWRP, connect to PC and drag over your firmware TWRP flashable zip and Magisk. And whatever else you need, maybe encryption disabler, root check disabler. With Oreo TWRP flashable zip (since you have US998), all you need is the zip file and Magisk.
In TWRP file explorer, find location where you just copied them. Then install them.

I've attached Magisk 18 to this post. You can update after you reboot to system. (TWRP 18.X is friendlier with Oreo TWRP-FLASHABLE zips.)

If your kdz is twrp flashable zip you can copy it over to your phone and flash via recovery.
If the kdz is not twrp flashable you will lose twrp/ root (if available) and will revert to stock recovery.

No, don't copy over KDZ. Copy over the TWRP flashable zip version of the KDZ.
See my post above. I give download link to latest Oreo US998 TWRP flashable zip. Also Magisk. I attached that to the post. Flash both, then reboot.
Hey, at least you now have a VERY clean install! This is the technique some people do on purpose to start fresh.
Thank you ChazzMatt... why did I suspect you'd be my hero once again, ha.

LOL... I wasn't opposed to starting fresh... that was my ultimate goal, but I've not been in this exact situation before as I've always kept my backups. Being tired and in a hurry was my downfall this time. I just didn't want to go any further without proper advice as I was worried about bricking and just wanted to double make sure I wouldn't do that on my next attempt to "fix" it alone.

There are basically several options here.
If you can still boot into fastboot or even TWRP there's nothing to fear. It's really hard to completely brick a phone anyways.
So as suggested either use a flashable kdz (you can even adb sideload it to avoid the copying) or just flash (or sideload) any other ROM. Good luck

Connect the phone to the computer, and push a stock TWRP zip to the device and flash it. If you have an ad card port on the PC, then push it to the SD card and put it in the phone.

NM, saw my man @ChazzMatt using his forum superhero Powers again.
Download any zip of your choice and reboot. Then let Google backup restore your apps and settings.
Running into a new issue... after flashing 20H TWRP and Magisk I rebooted the phone. Android OS did it's first install and I made it to the setup screen... then while I was typing in my wifi password the phone simply shut down (played the shutting down LG logo animation). I turned the phone back on and same results... after loading to the Android setup screen around 1 to 15 seconds later the phone shuts down again. Phone has never done this before.
Any thoughts?
I'm not sure if it matters, but this was originally a US Verizon V30 that I unlocked and rooted following the guides here which "converted" to a US998.

Okay I think I know what the problem is... you may have to flash 20, F, g, H all back-to-back. Then reflash Magisk
Or flash the full 20h KDZ in LGUP , reinstall TWRP and reflash the three root files. Your choice.
The problem is there were so many changes between 20e and 20H with the TWRP flashable zips that you have to flash them all back to back to get the full firmware.
You can stack them in TWRP and flash them all at the same time followed by magisk.
lol... okay... I'll get to downloading, lol. Any recommended custom ROM suggestions? lol

still doing the same behavior. First boot Android does setup, then if I let it sit a few seconds it shuts down and reboots, gets to Android and then shuts down again... over and over.

Okay, think it's working. Having looked through the ROM maker's thread Magisk v18 is... needed? I previously installed a newer version (v19.2) which can cause this boot loop issue.... I also installed the ROM without any Magisk which still caused the boot loop which is why I wasn't thinking Magisk was the issue.... but after trying 20H with v18 Magisk... no more boot loop. Go figure.

Well, glad you got it working.
But the Magisk thing is why I had specifically attached Magisk 18 to my first post in this thread and said to use it... I even explained why.
I assumed you were using it.
The button dance is drving me nuts. I've got to step 11 in this thread, but then I get stuck at installing TWRP.
I get to step 5, and after the prompts of "are you sure?" It still just boots right into the stock firmware., not TWRP
Additionally, a yellow circle with the words "Resetting" appear.
Any suggestions?

You're following the wrong, outdated directions (outdated TWRP, root files not flashed in correct order for Pie).
See WTF INSTRUCTIONS.
Specifically Section 6 of the WTF instructions. But you should read the entire thing...

Got it. I made an ADB backup while on the Verizon VS99630c firmware (now on US99820b) and was wondering: If I flash the US99830b TWRP zip vs the VS99630c one, could I restore the adb backup from 30c on 30b?
What is the advantage of of the US99830b firmware over the VS99630c firmware, aside from Wifi calling on the verizon firmware?
Has anybody managed to extract the credentials from the Verizon firmware and put them into a twrp zip?
I know eventually we'll all lose Wifi calling when Android 10 drops unless somebody has figured out how to extract the SIP credentials...

You can flash the VS996 30c TWRP-flashable zip, AFTER you finish installing TWRP and the three root files.
After you finish WTF Section 6, then go down to Section 9. See the Verizon part.

I've noticed the v18 zip the WTF post only has a 32-bit version of MagiskInit, while v20 also has a 64-bit version.

Yes, on Pie.
The 18.x is just a restriction necessary for the Oreo TWRP flashable zips. Even in those, once you get to The last one and reboot successfully, you can then update to latest Magisk.
