not only that method dont work but also there is this thread
http s://w ww.cyanogenmods.org/forums/topic/twrp-root-galaxy-a6-plus-twrp-and-root-guide/
about flashing twrp for A6plus both threads provide img or tar files to be flashed on the phone and guess what??? when you try to flash them you get the uspport dev_type .
NOTE the serial number on the post is for an A6 phone not an A6 PLus
so my question is, is there an official twrp image that can be flashed on this model ???

don't trust other site... for me it's better wait for a bit until here in xda or video from youtube. if only article and providing download link that's too dangerous.
can't wait to root,,and unlock the fully potential of this device. especially the batter...superb battery!!! SOT average always above 7 hours ++ with 2 days charging interval

Never seen this small font before.

TWRP scales the resolution depending on what it detects from the framebuffer which is why we no longer need to use resolution flags. There are no longer set themes only portrait or landscape.
It seems the resolution has been correctly detected.

and what is with the not working mount points? I tried to manually mount them, even edited the fstab like from original recovery, but didn't worked, still "invalid argument"
I never build a twrp by myself. But we could open a thred for it and I will support you do find the bugs etc.

The UI is really messed up.
The mount issues are because your data partition is encrypted.
Twrp cannot decrypt Samsung encrypted partitions. You need to FORMAT (not wipe) the data partition to be able to mount it.
However unless the fstab is patched it will re-encrypt at boot.

It's not a web browser link, it's bit more complicated.
Every request needs a special generated samsung request token, and that's a little developer secret.
In reference to the decrypting I'm still stucking a little bit. I can extract it exactly bit to bit and modify the system.img files, thats not the point.
The point is to get the modified files back into a working .img file that can be integrated along with boot.img and all its components to a .tar.md5 file.
If you want, I upload you all of the extracted system files, maybe two brains are better than one.
But I am sure you are smart enough to get your system.img extracted by yourself, since you released your own custom ROM and a tutorial.

Due to FAP Lock.
This happens if your device is brand new or while the first ROM flash, due to the stock disabled setting of OEM Unlock.
Resolve:
#1 - Add your Google Account to your new flashed ROM
#2 - Settings - About Device - Tap 7 times on build number to enable developer options.
#3 - Settings - Developer Options - Enable OEM Unlock - Enable USB Debugging.
#4 - Power Off - Remove Battery - Press Power a few times (to eliminate the rest electricity like on a pc)
#5 - Insert Battery - Boot into Download Mode - Continue with Step #12 (Rooting)
If you still have any trouble, let me know.

Is this the stable one or developer version?

Maybe flashing the factory image with fastboot will solve that partition problem. I used TWRP 3.0.2.0 to flash MIUI7. Don't forget to unmount the /system partition before you flash MIUI in TWRP, because if you leave /system mounted you will get an error. I hope this will help for you. (You can also try to wipe /data, /system, cache and dalvik-cache instead of flashing the factory image and flash MIUI7 with the /system partition umounted. If that doesn't solve your problem I suggest you to start clean with flashing the factory image and try again with my tips. Don't forget to make a backup of your important files because if you use the automatic flash process with the factory image it will wipe your whole internal storage.) Good luck :good:

Hello everyone.
Unfortunately my lg g4 bootlooped. And after extensive Google search, i see that most models have a tot file which disables big cores so u can run the phone on the small cores
Does the T-Mobile variant have such a tot file? if yes then can somebody give me the link? if no then can somebody create one using the following info?
Agimax said:
Why not just edit the files below for the two large cores (if you have root):
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu4/online (open file and change from a one to a zero)
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu5/online (open file and change from a one to a zero)
You could also just have the startup file do it (can modify the ripped system partition & put back on phone):
etc/dir/init.qcom.post_boot.sh (find your processor code - 8992 and add echo lines there with the rest of the cpu commands)

Afaik you need a box to create tot files.
Besides this I have never created any big core disabling but I know @the_naxhoo has.
if you can reach the download mode you could flash with the lglaf shell a modified boot image which is doing the job. If you do not have Linux get your copy of FWUL which has everything on board (like the lglaf shell).
The modded boot image has to disable the cores either by the cmdline or the sys echo or both. I saw that cmdline thing during my unlock attempts and think those are much better then the echo to sys..
Creating a kdz would be maybe possible
creating a TWRP zip for sure but I'm very very busy at the moment...
So just one more time (as still not answered.. ) do you had TWRP installed before the bootloop occurs?
...and If so what happens when you try to get into it?

Cmdline is how I disabled the cores on the Nexus, the fix is easy to do on a boot.img, but LG uses the KDZ files, which use a totally different file structure, and I'm not sure if the LG flash tool has file checks, even on unlocked bootloaders. I will do some research and see what I can do. If anyone has any knowledge on modifying kdz files, please tell me.

me too. never created KDZs yet but there are tools for it - afaik.
My first approach would have been to flash the boot image in the download mode with the lglaf shell (https://github.com/steadfasterX/lglaf/tree/g4) .
requires to do a flash of a modified boot image with dd on /dev/block/mmcblk0 with the correct seek ..

I have only tested on T-Mobile and us unlocked so flash at your own risk if u have a different device variant.
It was made for T-Mobile and us unlocked so I'm not sure if it would work on other variants.

MAJOR THANKS & CREDITS TO @Captain_Throwback @nkk71 for all the help with getting twrp working and decryption.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or what ever you name it.
Flashes images and zips and will take full backups.

I need a stock T-Mobile boot.img and system if anyone decides to send me one it would be appreciated.
Known bugs for twrp 3.2.1-0
Reboot to recovery does not work.

The test TWRP build on here works for me. Can't access SD card/data. Is that still a known issue or did I do something wrong when flashing? It took a few seconds to load TWRP when rebooting to recovery, then it asked for a password, where I just pushed Cancel. Then I swiped to allow modifications. No access to data though.
Thanks for this though dude! It's progress!

It won't unencrypt data. It did for me sometimes but not everytime and when I looked at the log it said my data partition was set to ext4 but said it was Emmc so I tried to change f.stab file and it still wouldn't unencrypt.
So I went to Twrp and in advanced format settings I clicked data partition and chose repair or change filesystem and changed from emmc to ext4 then it worked after it formatted. The only problem is now my secure boot doesn't work and Twrp never asks for a password. I wouldn't recommend doing what I did.

Check this out. They have twrp but it needs to be formatted first to enable encryption. I guess magisk doesn't do this but SuperSU does? Maybe you'll understand.
Hope this helps.

I did the format data already and I use the same supersu that I use on my HTC 10 the only thing I had to do is flash back stock boot.img because su wouldn't patch the magisk one. Now we need some custom roms.

What about Treble support on this device? Is TWRP (or another custom recovery) avialiable? What wouldn't work in GSI?
This device is both treble and seamless update compatible/supported.
So how to run GSI firmwares on this device?
How to create /vendor, flash it and etc?

Try out the official instructions from the XDA Treble thread, and report back. If it works, I'm sure we can get together a few people here and try to tweak the development further.
I had pixel experience running on it. Worked pretty well, except no aod, and vibrator didn't work.

Could you give the steps on how you did it? is it just fastboot flash img? do we have to disable verity or something

1) You need a vbmeta.img from fastboot ROM.
2) Flash the vbmeta.img using the command, fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img, this is done to disable dm-verity to let the GSI boot.
3) Download the latest A/B GSI
4) Extract and flash the GSI using the command, fastboot flash system filename.img, replace filename with the name of the image.

Did it / does it work well? Any help going from full stock WW model to gsi?
I assume the unlock tool on https://www.asus.com/tw/Phone/ROG-Phone-II/HelpDesk_Download/ is universal WW/CN?
Please advise in eli5 detail.

Looking forward to this.
On a second note.
1. Does the official unlocking tool need internet to work i.e will forward IMEI and other identifiers to Asus.
2. Is there a way we can figure out how to unlock the bootloader without using the Asus official tool?

1.) Yes, Internet is needed and yes it transmits the IMEI
2.) Not at this time
3.) My tutorial is live here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/rog-phone-2/how-to/guide-install-gsi-image-google-apps-t3998133

I checked out the link. Thanks for the guide and this reply.
If anyone knows of a forum thread trying to unlock without the official tool (haven't found a thread dedicated to this as of yet) or any resource threads which can help me learn and try it myself, please do point me in that direction.
Thanks again.

I think that it's possible to reverse engineer way tool works using Something like apktool (if code is Java) or disassembler (if it's C/C++/etc).
Also, what about change IMEI to your old phone's one before using the tool and changing it back after that? (Any ID codes that device maybe are needed to be changed too)

Even I believe that we should be able to do something, however my experience in this is modest at best. I am a nweeb.
Though the way I believe the official tool would work is.... And please correct me if am wrong...
1. It should send the IMEI no to the server.
2. The server sends a code to unlock the bootloader.
3. The tool unlocks the boot loader.
Now steps one and three can be reverse engineered. But unless step two is something like a MD5 hash of the IMEI etc, we might need to figure a way to do the unlocking in a new way.
I don't know if we even can change the IMEI without access to the root folder. I never had a phone since my Galaxy S2 which wasn't unlocked and rooted. I will do some research.
If anyone has any idea.... Kindly let us know.
Just curious - anyone here who tried GSI's stayed with them? I wonder how many bugs are there out of the box. There are some annoying bugs with recent WW ASUS software (like some SMS not being saved, but delivered to my wristband, touchscreen getting freezed with fingerprint unlock on after some phone locks) that really makes me wanna change that soft.
I do not care about gaming functions missing (like 60+Hz refresh rate, back LEDs).

I have stayed with phhussons GSI. As you say no 90/120Hz or back LED. Only other quirk is that apps think the fingerprint scanner is on the back , not in the screen. The fingerprint scanner still works, but makes it awkward to press 0 on your pin pad.
FYI: If you use the gapps build you can flash over an earlier months without losing any data!
