Warning: This TWRP Recovery is only useful for installing custom ROMs.
Currently there's no way to use this recovery on stock in any meaningful way without future addons
(Data partition cannot be read because of LG default encryption)
You cannot install or backup anything while you have LG Encryption enabled. A future addon can disable it.
<-- Requirements
An Bootloader unlocked LG G7 ThinQ by any means. (official or unofficial) (G710TM Models are impossible to be supported, sorry)
More information on officially unlocking the LG G7 here: https://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev
Running minimum LG Stock Android 9 Pie (AOSP GSI does not count)
A PC and ADB + Fastboot
The temper to read twice
<-- Needed files
You only need this boot image:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1FcIBNfL3_72cQwuxd2TyZSjnC-ItnNTt
For developers who want to build their own TWRP Boot image here's the device-tree for it
https://github.com/LameMonster82/android_device_lge_judyln-twrp
<-- Installation
Step 1: Enter Fastboot mode
Connect your phone to your PC with a USB Cable
Restart the phone
While the phone is restarting hold Volume down button.
Note: Make sure you hold Volume down button before you see the black and white "LG G7 ThinQ" text
If you see the red LG Logo you either messed up or you don't have access to fastboot mode witch is another problem i can't solve easily.
If done correctly you should be in Fastboot now
Step 2: Install the boot image
Open the command prompt or your terminal (depending on what PC Platform you are)
Type:
Code:
fastboot boot [B][TWRP Boot image location][/B]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Note: This TWRP is only temporarily (it does not overwrite the bootimage). When you reboot it will dissapear and you will need to redo the fastboot command.
You're done. Now you can use TWRP to install custom ROMs

[CODE]fastboot flash boot_a [B][TWRP Boot image location] --set-active=a[/B]
The best way you can set the TWRP Boot image location is to manually "drag and drop" the file itself in your command prompt
Also make sure you "drag and drop" the TWRP Boot image before you type --set=active=a
Don't forget --set-active=a has 2 little lines at the beginning. No space between them.
Step 3: Enter Recovery mode
Restart the phone (using power button if you're still in fastboot)
Before the phone turns off hold Volume down and power button
The moment you see the black and white "LG G7 ThinQ" Text start clicking the power button as much as you can without letting the Volume down button.
If done correctly you should see a white screen with "Factory reset" text on top.
If you done step 2 correctly clicking yes on both prompts on the phone will get you to TWRP
For people who still have trouble getting into recovery mode here's a visual example of how to enter recovery mode (youtube) https://youtu.be/_0yoFEvIods
Note: You don't have to be in system. Rebooting from bootloader will still work

Nope. The problem is there are no blobs to use. Yeah keymaster is there but keystore module is missing from the vendor and the system. The closest thing I found was lgkm module that looks like a proprietary keystore module for lg

Hello, I am not very educated about this as I would like...
Is this recovery "persistent"? Why it is not possible to use this recovery to flash/root magisk on stock roms?
Thank you.
is it needed for magisk?
hello,
stock LG Pie (v20c) with bootloader unlocked. do i need to install this (TWRP) in order to root it with the magisk file from your drive, or will it work without?
(sorry for the noob/stupid/uninitiated/etc question, i'm really new at this)

No need to install TWRP for root. Just follow the guide there and you should be fine.
How strict is the Android Pie requirement before installing TWRP?
I have a G710VM that I'm trying to get LineageOS onto. I've already gotten the bootloader unlocked, but it seems like, so far, I can only get bootloader access by using the ULM 8.0 ROM (ULM11g). If I try the European 9.0 (EM20b) or ULM 9.0 (ULM20d) ROMs, I lose bootloader and fastboot access.
Also, is this TWRP a persistent TWRP, or semi- or non-persistent.
I also apologize in advance if I use the wrong terminology or make the wrong assumptions as this is my first attempt at unlocking a phone and putting a custom OS on it.

Hi i am a newbie to rooting. Could you please give me detailed steps. I understood till the point of flashing twrp. After that do I have to wipe data and flash magisk right then? (I have tried installing twrp 2 times but every time after installing and restarting it shows android recovery only.)
One more thing, will I be able to upgrade to oreo through OTA if I have the stock android recovery ( although bootloader is unlocked)?

You need to boot your device (lenovo k8 plus) from this twrp. To do this type following code in cmd.
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-name.img
This will boot you to recovery mode (just wait couple seconds),the screen may be black if so,then press the power button and swipe to unlock the recovery screen. Now you have to flash the same twrp-recovery.img file into recovery partition.
If you don't flash twrp-recovery image during that live recovery session,you will not be able to reboot to twrp recovery again.
But if you don't want twrp recovery permanently,just need root access,then you can flash only magisk .zip during this live session and reboot your phone and install magisk manager apk and patch the stock boot image.By this process your phone will have root access without a TWRP recovery.

1. What did you mean by "Now you have to flash the same twrp-recovery.img file into recovery partition." Please give detailed steps of how to do that once I reach the twrp screen after flashing twrp. sorry but I am new to all this
2. I have now rooted my phone by flashing patched_boot.img from dhruv aggarwal's post. Now how do I install twrp without losing root? Please give detailed steps(like what command, recovery mode or not...). Can I just flash the twrp.img file you have provided in the post using flashify app?
sorry for troubling you.

What error did LMSA give you? The vol-up + USB-in combo is really touchy. Maybe give it a few more tries with LMSA.
Someone else had probs like this, but was able to boot into recovery using Pwr+VolUp+VolDown combo. If that works, see if you can factory reset.

Did you try power+vol up+vol down, 10 seconds long? It reinitialize the tab.
Good luck, neighbour
Hello,
thanks a lot for you help, LMSA stuck a 67% with error "fail to rescue".
The good solution was from my french neighbour with "power+vol up+vol down" for more than 10s. I then got acces to recovery and go to fasboot mode to flash original boot.img.
I've been then able to use LMSA to rescue my TAB and it's back to life !
I just wonder why magisk's boot generated was wrong... I'll make some other try in the weekend to root my tab.
Thanks a lot.

De rien / you're welcome.
I had the same issue at 67% with LSMA.
Before I rooted the Tab, I upgraded it to Android 9 in Settings/System. Then everything worked fine.
I hope your house is safe despite this crazy rain.
This didnt work for me but maybe because the firmware that was on the tablet was 3 updates newer than the OP firmware.
It was stuck at the LENOVO boot image sadly
It took a long time but I got the tablet back trough a rescue.
The firmware was and again is: TB-X605F_S210126_191029_ROW
And I wonder if it will work if I get a boot.img from this firmware and patch it.

Thanks a million Mike! You’re the best ?
XDA can be a jungle sometimes, I though I did research but I missed both the root thread and the TWRP thread for 605F.
That would have saved my lots of time a headache haha , but I didn’t get a heart attack so it’s all good.
Anyway, the patched Magisk worked perfectly, and all is good , finally a working YouTube Vanced since my previous Xperia 2 tablet.
The only weird thing was the link issue from Lenovo’s recovery for the latest firmware, the full one, not the ota updates.

twrp has problems, with screen bootlooping in twrp when trying to install zip files, the recovery is faulty and we probably need a new tree for the fix, which i was trying to look for an official tree, but i mean we already have one and when you compile it, it produced a faulty recovery image and lenovo hasn't released a kernel source or device tree yet, but i hope i can get a fully working one

Have a look at this post.
There are so many hardware variants of the M10 now, it's probably impossible for Lenovo to release reliable kernel source. There's now even an M10 that uses SDM429 (rather than SDM450). ...and the second gen M10 FHD Plus (X606F) will use the MediaTek Helio P22T.
hello i have a problem i do the adb install command but it say "Missing APK file" plz help me
After 6 months from launch date, we finally got bootloader unlock permission on March 2nd 2020 for Realme C12 initially based on Realme UI 1.0. Later Realme gave permission for UI 2.0 too.
Before doing anything to device, keep a copy of Stock ROM from here in your PC or SD Card.
Unlocking bootloader will trip safetynet. If you want to use bank apps or some apps that use SafetyNet, then you have to pass SafetyNet. To pass it we have to use a Magisk module called 'Universal SafetyNet fix' Or use a custom rom or GSI that uses it if you dont want Magisk.
Also locking bootloader seems to lead 'Red State' in many devices. This can only be solved by going to Service Center. So be prepared for it. To get rid of it flash stock rom once even if you didn't done any modifications.
Prerequisites:-- A PC
- USB Cable(We can use charger cable)
- Platform-tools
- Patience
Step 0 - Great! You're ready to go. Make sure to backup your phone's data before continuing on with this tutorial, as unlocking will make it factory reset (wipe)!
Step 1 - Download and Open In Depth Tool from below
For UI 1.0 https://download.c.realme.com/flash/Unlock_tool/DeepTest_realmeC12.apk
For UI 2.0 https://c.realme.com/in/post-details/1526491339024314368

}
Step 2 - Click “Start applying”.
Step 3 - Please read the disclaimer in detail, select the checkbox, and submit your application
Step 4 - The Application Will be checked by realme Servers..(Wait 10 mins)
Step 5 - Go back. Remove app from Recent apps. Open the app and click on Query verification status which is at top right
Step 6 - You can now click “Start the in-depth test” and the device will reboot to fastboot mode automatically. The following string will display on the screen: fast boot_unlock_verify ok
Step 7 - Now Download and install the fastboot tool on your PC and Connect the device to PC using USB cable and ready to unlock it.
Step 8 - Now you are in Fastboot Mode. Type this command
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
in command prompt of PC and Press enter.
Step 9 - On your phone press the Volume Down key to select "UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER” (or press the Volume Up key if you have changed your mind to select "DO NOT UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER”).
Step 10 - Now type
Code:
fastboot reboot
. Your phone will reboot and all user data on the phone will be erased - I recommend you perform a data backup prior to applying.
And there you go! Your phone will reboot and you can set it all up again. with the ability to root and you can also install GSIs/custom ROMs/recovery!
After unlocking, flash stock rom once from stock recovery to fix some 'Red state' issue and fastboot errors that may lead to GSI booting issues. See this for flashing stock rom. With this you will also get a idea of flashing stock rom.
Q: Will unlocking my bootloader void my warranty?
A: No, it will not. Unless you brick your device.
Q: I tried unlocking my bootloader but, PC doesn't detect my phone, even though it's in fastboot mode and connected. Help?
A: Here are some things you can try:
- Try another USB port.- Try another USB cable.- Download and install exe for 64-bit and 32-bit- Restart PC- Connect device to PC- Go to Device Manager- Double Click on Unidentified Realme C12(Device with exclamation mark)- Click on Update Driver- Select Browser my computer- Select Let me pick- Select Android Device- Click on NextEnjoy!
Q: I am getting carrier-customized phone?
A: See this
Relock your bootloader
Locking bootloader without flashing stock rom again may lead to 'Red State'(can only be fixed by flashing stock rom with PC). So before locking bootloader, flash stock rom in stock recovery and boot to stock rom once.
Tutorial:
Step 0 - Flash stock ROM in stock recovery.(Don't skip this step even if you haven't done any modification)
Step 1 - Download the unlock tool again to apply to exit the in-depth test.
Step 2 - Click “Apply to exit in-depth test”. You should manual operation enter the Fastboot mode(Press both the Volume down button and the Power button when power is off).
Step 3 - In the Fastboot mode, use the engineering command below on your PC to re-lock the bootloader.
- Enter the command: fastboot flashing lockStep 4 - Press the Volume Down button to select the “Lock bootloader” option (or press the Volume Up button to select “Do not lock bootloader" and keep it unlocked).
Step 5 - Then enter command fastboot reboot. The phone will reboot. All user data on the phone will be erased - we recommend you perform a data backup prior to applying.
Thanks

We have both TWRP and custom ROMs too. But they are in C11 forums. All C11 things can be used in C12 and C15(MTK) too. So have a look at https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/realme-c11-roms-kernels-recoveries-other-deve.10991/
Also join us at Telegram by searching 'Realme C12'.

I guess, there is no support for UI2 yet.
So wait for it or downgrade

I have two questions
1. I have a Realme c12 device (Realme UI 1.0), it's device model is RMX2189 but the link you provided has only RMX2185 version. Can I flash that stock rom in my phone?
2. I am from Bangladesh, which region version should I flash? (Egypt, Combodia, Indonesia, India, Pakistan, Vietnam)

For first question, you can install RMX2185 version. Since C11, C12 and C15 use RMX2185 for stock rom ozips.
For second question, I am not sure what to do with your region.

Thanks a lot. I am facing some problems while trying to unlock bootloader. (Forgive me, I am a noob )
I have successfully installed platform-tools, granted usb debugging permission and rebooted my phone to fastboot mode from depth tool. It's showing "fast boot_unlock_verify ok".
Now if I enter the command "fastboot flashing unlock" in command prompt window, it's showing this message: "waiting for device" and nothing is happening afterwards... Am I missing any drivers? (My cable is ok)
@Shawmik
Yeah you are doing right.
But seems like drivers are not installed.
See the questions in bottom of my guide to get solution.

I don't know why I am facing these weird issues, sorry for bothering you...
I have installed the driver you mentioned in the questions section, now if I connect my phone while in fastboot mode, my PC detects it but if I give the command "fastboot flashing unlock", the command prompt still shows "Waiting for device"...
And I tried going to device manager and manually update my device drivers (as you guided), still the same

Well , after 2 years finally the dream come true. yes , we achieved what we seen in the title of my thread. atlast free bootloader unlock for Nokia 7.2 running on any android version especially android 10 & upcoming android 11 as well.
So what is the magic behind free bootloader unlock? Yes ! Iam not gonna reveal that but yes as a Nokia community Developer this is what I can provide for your all.
A big massive thank you for my back-end team @hikari_calyx , @singhnsk & especially My Nokia 7.2 & 6.2 community for strong support behind the journey.
So what is the exact steps to make it successfull on your Phone.
1. Make sure you own Nokia 7.2 device & computer running on linux or windows
2. Connect phone to computer & enable developer options
3. Enable usb debugging
4. Download adb platform tools latest from Google & Open command prompt , type adb devices
5. Type adb reboot recovery
6. Make sure your device should boot in to stock recovery & Select apply update from adb
7. in cmd type adb sideload DDV_XYZ.zip ( Select package accordingly to your variant. Example for indians DDVA_sprout , for Russian DDV & for global DDV_sprout )
8. Wait for 5 minutes to complete the flashing process on locked bootloader.
9. After flashing completed Select reboot to bootloader
10. Type fastboot devices
11. Type fastboot flashing unlock_critical ( see the phone and select unlock the Bootloader using volume buttons and press power button )
12. Reboot to fastboot again make sure to use volume down and power button at a time for fastboot mode.
13. type fastboot flashing unlock ( see the phone and select unlock the Bootloader using volume buttons and press power button )
Finally Congratulations we successfully completed bootloader unlock.
Now what next? Just reflash stock rom from fastboot accordingly to my stock rom flash tool thread.
Thank you !!
• Download Sideload Packages
• Download adb platform tools
• Stock rom flash tool thread

yup on the way in few hours
I successfully unlocked and my 7.2 today and faced no problems. The whole process ran flawlessly, thanks for making this possible and keep doing good work.
Amazing ! was waiting for this since forever as couldnt spend money, succesfuly unlocked the bootloader on my nokia 7.2 without any issues thnx a ton to the whole development team. Just follow the instructions
WORKS FINE
ON ANDROID 10
(NOKIA 7.2)
YES, IT DOES WORKS THANK YOU SO MUCH AND KUD
DOS TO THE DEVELOPERS.
I MANAGED TO UNLOCK IT FOR FREE
UNLOCKED MY BOOTLOADER
USING NOKIA 7.2 ON ANDROID 10 WITH INDIAN VARIENT DDVA_sprout.zip update package.
Just follow the steps and it will be just fine
Also I would like to mention that in my case I didn't needed to flash stock rom, it booted normally after few "corrupted file" warnings so skipped the "Stock Rom flash tool threads"... I just let it boot few times 4-7 times max and it booted after that with nokia logo.
Great work! Hope the development grow well for Nokia 7.2 & 6.2!
I only get the message "No Command" after I type `adb reboot recovery`. Is there any other method to get into stock recovery?

When you see no command. Then press & hold power button and press volume up button then it automatically goes to recovery mode.

I have the same problem.
I found a solution. It was a driver problem. I installed Google, Inc. - Other hardware - Android Bootloader Interface from Windows Update and now ist works.

Thanks. Did similar thing on Linux and it worked (fighting with lineage rights now, its a mess).
Hi everyone,
I unlocked my nokia back then when a bug was still in one of the first android versions and there were an official option in my the dev options. (7.2)
Since then my device has been showing an warning alert when android is booting up. Is this still the case with this unlock procedure mentioned here? If yes, would it work for my to lock my device again and reunlock using this tool in this thread?
Regards,
no, the warning message is still there.

It's not because of Magisk. On stock ROM, TWRP causes this issue. Instead of flashing Magisk using TWRP, you can flash Magisk patched (stock) boot img for rooting your device.
{Mod edit: Link removed}
I shifted from apple to android recently and I decided to root my device OnePlus 8t KB2001 (I believe I have Android 12) as I wanted to install kali on it. Therefore I decided to follow instructions on this website. I did not type the steps because I did not want to lose out on any key details.
I performed all the steps till here:
I did not perform step 6, instead, I performed step 7 as I wanted to install TWRP Recovery on my phone permanently.

According to the instructions I was supposed to boot my device to TWRP. Since I am currently booted to Fastboot, I used the Volume Keys to bring up the Recovery option and hit the Power key to confirm the decision.
As per the instruction as soon as my OnePlus boots to TWRP, it will ask to decrypt data. I was supposed to simply enter my phone’s password/PIN to proceed ahead but this never happened. Instead, I am stuck in a situation where I am seeing the following screen:
I searched every single option and there's no Online Update (keep data) option. I am stuck in this loop for hours. Even the option of formatting data doesn't remove this RECOVERY.
I don't know if this information would help but I can enter the Fastboot Mode by tapping on "Advanced" and selecting "Reboot to fastboot mode".
It would be really helpful if someone can tell me a fix to this problem as I really don't want to throw this phone away as I just got it today.
You probably flashed a version of TWRP made for Android 11 while having Android 12. You can try flashing a compatible version (unofficial) which you can find here.
I have not had the exact problem you describe but I don't think you'll end up discarding your phone. Just plan to read a lot on the forums, try a lot of things and potentially spend several days working through the problem. Bookmark the useful instructions you find so you can return to re-read and make notes as you go along. Start with booting a different version of TWRP and see what happens. The images you posted are of the stock recovery, not TWRP recovery. Make sure the TWRP.img you are trying to boot resides in the folder that your command prompt is pointing to.

Thank you for this link. I followed these steps and I am out of the continuous recovery loop. My phone now directly boots to Team Win Recovery Project. Although I have a feeling my phone no longer has any oxygen OS. I tried rebooting into System but I am taken back to the TWRP screen. Any idea what is happening?

I think I know what happened:
The OnePlus 8T is a device which uses a technology called Virtual A/B. In practice, it has two slots for the operating system called 'a' and 'b' of which only one is active at a time. When you do an OTA upgrade the upgrade gets installed to the inactive slot and then the phone is asked to switch slot on the next boot. If the phone can't boot after this slot switch, it will switch back to the previous slot to prevent bricking itself. So what I think it happened when you flashed the wrong TWRP is that the phone tried to boot into recovery from your current slot but failed because of incompatibility. Then, it switched the active slot to the inactive slot where you probability have another version of OxygenOS that can't boot (probably because it's older than your current one). After some attempts, the phone goes into recovery but this time it loads the stock one because it has switched slot and the recovery is subject to this Virtual A/B mechanism too.
If this is what happened you can do as follows:
- reboot into fastboot
- switch the active slot by doing
Code:
fastboot --set-active=other
- flash the correct TWRP you downloaded before on this slot by doing
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <recovery file name>.img
After doing this you should be able to boot both into the system and into TWRP.

I just have one more question, so now if I have to boot into TWRP what steps should I follow? As I still have to download Magisk on my phone to properly root it
Did you flash TWRP after switching slot? If so you should be able to boot into it by holding power and volume down while turning the phone on.
Yes I flashed the TWRP as you specified below
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <recovery file name>.img
and once I press the power and the lower volume button I am taken into fastboot option. Once I am there which option should I select? Start, recovery or something else?

To root your phone you can follow this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...national-kb2000-kb2001-kb2003-kb2005.4178675/
You actually don't strictly need TWRP to root. I suggest that you always try to follow guides that are on XDA rather than searching for random websites with Google.

You can install magisk from TWRP recovery.
Changing slots is also possible there.
