So this is more of a project between me and a friend, but we are unsure of what to do next. Our experience is minimal, as this is his first android phone (LG L90 D415) and I only installed BlissPop on my G3 because bootloader is unlocked and that made it much easier. In our current state, we are on the 10c version, after having downgraded. We have rooted with Towelroot, installed SuperSu, updated binaries, and installed busybox. However, we are unsure of what to do next. We know we have to unlocked the bootloader and flash the TWRP recovery before installing the ROM and GAPPS, but the steps to accomplish that are not very clear. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and if explanations could be thourough for two noobs, that would be great

Hello all,
I just unlocked my bl. On my xt1058, and currently have Safestrap installed when I installed 4.4.2.
I'd like to upgrade to 4.4.4, and root again. My question is, can I simply uninstall Safestrap, then install TWRP recovery? What are the steps to install 4.4.4, then root again.
I tried finding the steps for this, but I was unable to. Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Adam
ok...so I uninstalled Safestrap, and installed TWRP v2.8.0.1
I guess what I'd like to do now, is return to stock (currently running rooted 4.4.2) then take the OTA, then root afterwards.
Where can I find the instructions to do this?
Thanks!

Hi there everyone! I am absolutely 100% noob when it comes to LG. Always had an HTC phone but with the horrible reviews for the M9 I chose the G4. Its a great phone stock but the rooting itch has gotten to strong lol. Read plenty of threads and watched a few videos on how to root this beautiful phone. Yet, questions pop into my head...... I know most likely rule number one is to unlock the bootloader. For HTC I would then boot into Fastboot mode to flash TWRP with the famous command "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" and then proceed to flash my favorite ROM that is pre-rooted. Would the steps be about the same? If not, what is different? Is there any way to hide root from the T-Mobile Account app that checks for root or should I just get rid of the app? Also, I am still on the 10H build. Should I update to 10N first or would I not be able to root? So sorry for the amount of questions presented here it is just that I'm afraid of bricking. Any help is appreciated.
Upgrade to 10N then follow the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/development/h81110n-stock-rooted-image-t3191038
Make sure you set OEM bootloader unlocked as well in Developer options.
Then use flashify to install TWRP
I would install debloated ROM here but thats up to you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/development/rom-g4-h811-10n-stock-rooted-rom-t3188858

Thanks for the help! Flashed your stock rooted image so I could Flashify TWRP. I have been a part of the HTC fan club since the Droid Incredible. All the way to the One Max and M8 while I was on Verizon. This LG stuff is all new to me lol.
Hi, I've been trying to Root, Unlock Bootloader and Flash a Custom Recovery in my LG L90 D410 Running Lollipop 5.0.2 Software v20a but there are too many methods and I'm confused. Some of them is just about rooting but also want to unlock bootloader and install recovery.
Please Help ASAP.
Hi. First step is rooting. As you are on 20a you should be able to use one-step rooting (search forum), which needs a computer. If it doesn't work or you want a simpler solution, you can use Kingroot, but be aware that there are some concerns about using it due to its constant communication to Chinese servers that aren't well explained so far AFAIK. You may want to replace it with SuperSU later using a script (not easy). It will be removed later if you flash a ROM anyway...
Once rooted: backup original bootstack and modemst partitions, flash unlocked bootstack (make sure you flash one for your exact phone model), flash recovery and then you should be able to flash any ROM.
PS: most custom ROMs only work with Kitkat bootstack, then either downgrade or flash KK bootstsck before flashing custom ROM.
PS2: it seems that at least latest versions of CM 12.1 work with either Kitkat or Lollipop bootstacks, so you may want to check the most recent info about the custom ROM you want to install first.

Hi,
I own a Motorola Moto g2 (2014) Indian Version, 16 gb and i am running a stock firmware 5.0.2, rooted and bootloader unlocked. and i want to install a Custom ROM, So i went on to Youtube and find out how to unlock the bootloader and install Super SU.
After that i came to know about this site, and thought of flashing CM 13, and so in order to do that it was required to update bootloader, since it won't work on bootloader 4.4
So, i followed the instructions clearly and updated the bootloader and the TWRP Recovery , Both are successfull.
Now comes the problem part for me:
So when i browsed the xda developers site in the moto g 2014 thread , i came across this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/6-0official-indian-ota-zip-captured-t3299550
It said
So to everyone here. After updating to 6.0 I don't think it's a good idea to downgrade to 5.0.2 and update it with stagefright update over the air.
I made it and it hardbricked my phone.
5.0.2 bootloader version is 48.83
6.0 bootloader version is 48.86
So, don't downgrade your bootloader, it can cause hardbrick!
so, i got afraid, since i am going to install cm 13 nightly which is unstable and the bootloader already updated, will i be having problems when i restore it back to stock 5.0.2
and would it be safe if i installed cm 12.1 after updating the booloader or will it hard brick my phone. (since cm 12.1 is stable version compared to cm 13)
P.S Can someone post a link on how to backup before installing the Custom ROM, since i always see this step:
that is to make a backup using TWRP and then use advanced wipe to wipe the device, the only question is won't the adavanced wipe deletes the backup folder ?
And Is there any stable ROMS for moto g that runs marshmallow, + is it possible to install multi ROM twrp and Install CM 13 Along with the Stock Android
Hi everyone! I recently bought a LG G6 H872, which still has 10e installed. After crawling the forums for a bit, here's the sequence of things I wanted to do to it:
1.) Update to 8.0 Oreo via OTA.
2.) Unlock bootloader
3.) Root and TWRP using this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g6/how-to/root-h872-to-including-11g-t3775518
4.) Magisk
Is the latest Oreo update the 20a version that is mentioned in the thread or should I manually update it to something older. I saw that there was anti-rollback so I don't want to update too far. Also, if there is ever another OTA, how does one update the rooted phone?
Edit: I wrote up some steps if it helps you on this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77513501&postcount=4
I do not believe there is currently a way to root the T-Mobile versions.

That is not correct, see: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g6/how-to/root-h872-to-including-11g-t3775518
For future people who come across this thread, here are the steps I took to root this phone:
1.) Factory reset and then update device via OTA incrementally until 20a (which is Android Oreo 8.0)
2.) unlock bootloader: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpaW0-8-QKY
3.) root device: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g6/how-to/root-h872-to-including-11g-t3775518
Note: there is a video tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-z4CWLikPcI&t=821s. The first steps of flashing the laf partition are very useful to watch before attempting
4.) Factory reset in TWRP
5.) Reset after encryption error, then wipe with TWRP. May give mount error.
6.) Boot into Android Oreo. Device is not yet rooted at this point.
6.) Flash MAGISK via TWRP (SD card or ADB push) ]. Ignore the mount error. Reboot.
7.) Device is rooted! :good:
That's interesting
Without getting into an issue those steps look slightly different in order than the original process.
Or I'm a dumbass and somehow got it out of order. Seems ok now though.
Hello there!
I want to ask if it's the same to do the steps with 20e ?
Curious as well if this works with the latest update.

This is an already rooted version of the latest update. I've downloaded but haven't flashed it yet, but the op is good and I've never had an issue with his work.

I succeeded in completing the process.
Permanent unlock from Tom via app.
Unlocked bootloader.
Twrp installed to recovery, can boot to recovery via low volume/power button combo.
Magisk installed.
20a working nicely.
I'm getting requests from Tmo to update from 20a to 20d. Is this recommended? Will twrp, root, unlock, etc. be lost?
I am glad to see that the bootloader gets unlocked easily. @alliance1975 how did you go from Unlocked bootloader step to Twrp installed step? That is the big one I think.
There is a good TWRP available, but we can't install it because the phone lacks fastboot commands. Is there a way to install TWRP? Or is it really that the only method is the rather risky runningnak3d method?

I used the procedure summarized in step 3. I agree it is risky, well, the riskiest root & twrp I've ever tried. I neglected to say I only read instructions, the dev who actually came up with the plan deserves all the credit.
When I try to oem unlock nothing happens. What can I do? I have followed all other instructions.
Follow steps from this https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g6/how-to/unlock-bootloader-tmo-t3578099
Yeah I got my bootloader unlocked

Any info on this? Will updating from 20a mess up the phone (root, etc...)?
