[Recovery][LG-H960A] TWRP v3.0.2-0 (unofficial)

This is an unofficial TWRP port for LG-H960A.
Thanks to @KAsp3rd and @GROGG88
I DON'T TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY. YOU DO EVERYTHING AT YOUR OWN RISK.
READ EVERYTHING and MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE YOU START.
Instructions:
1. You must be on newest stock Marshmallow: H960A20a_00_0316.kdz
You can use LG Bridge to install official update, or download .kdz file HERE
2. You need to have bootloader ulocked.
Official instructions are here: ( Unlocking the Bootloader @ LG Developer )
Remember that this will completely WIPE YOUR DATA, you will LOSE WARRANTY and this operation is IRREVERSIBLE.
3. Flash TWRP.
I assume you got ADB and FASTBOOT drivers working and adb is paired (it should be if you completed step 2).
Connect your phone to your pc, open command prompt and reboot to bootloader:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Your phone should reboot and you should be welcomed by Fastboot Mode screen.
Now download the recovery file (below) to your pc, unpack (to get .img) and rename it to recovery.img and put it in folder where you got command prompt open and:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
4. Boot to TWRP.
As on Marshmallow some fastboot commands are not working and LG is restoring recovery on every boot (so you cant use "adb reboot recovery" right now) you need to use one trick.
DO NOT REBOOT YOUR PHONE.
When still in fastboot from step 3 you need to turn off your phone completely. You can do that by holding power button or if that is not working take the battery out.
Now (put the battery in) and press POWER + VOL DOWN buttons. When you see LG logo release the POWER button (while still holding VOL DOWN) and press POWER button again.
You should see a screen which is asking you if you want to factory reset your phone. Don't worry - if you made everything correctly it should not wipe your phone.
Use volume and power buttons to choose YES (twice) - and you should see a TWRP screen (after a while)
WARNING: IF YOU REBOOTED YOUR PHONE AFTER FLASHING RECOVERY THIS STEP WILL REALLY ERASE ALL DATA. You need to flash recovery again (step 3)
5. (optional) flash SuperSU to get root.
Get SuperSU from official thread and put it in your phone.
While in TWRP from step 4 your phone should be recognized by ADB. Use below to move file to sdcard.
Code:
adb push BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328.zip /sdcard/supersu.zip
Now in TWRP click Install, go to /sdcard/ and chooose supersu.zip. Follow instructions. After install you should choose to wipe cache/dalvik and reboot to system.
Your phone should be rooted now.
Download:
twrp-3.0.2.0-0-h960a.img.zip
(unpack .zip to get flashable .img)
Issues:
- Layout is wrong, status bar is being drawn on second screen.
- Date/time is wrong.

OK, now if we have recovery, is it possible to dump rooted system and pack it to .tot file for people who don't want to lose warranty?

Hi,
that's just great, thanks a lot.
As root is now possible has anyone tried to install xposed on th H960A?
I'm wondering if the second screen fix for the Telekom V10 also works with the H960A.
What about Viper4Android and AdAway?

Are there any other known issues? I don`t need to install any custom roms. I need it only for root and xposed on Marshmallow. Is there something that can surprise me?

Hi,
"OK, now if we have recovery, is it possible to dump rooted system and pack it to .tot file for people who don't want to lose warranty? "
Ohh, thats sounds nice if this realy possible.
i love my v10.

Didn't try xposed but I think it should work (if it's working on other V10 models - they are not that different). I just recently bought V10 and was disappointed in dpi, so I needed root to patch second screen to be dpi-independent.
Also: why would you want things like Viper4Android when you got really good sounding hifi dac onboard?

For sure it's enough to flash packages and get root. Xposed is independent from recovery so I can't say anything about that.
Testing are up to you guys. Don't be afraid as this phone is not easy to brick.

Quite simple answer. The onboard Hifi DAC only works with cable headphones. Viper4Android also supports Bluetooth devices.

Could you write a small guide about the dpi change (I prefer 540-580)?
Thanks in advance.

There is still a long way, right now second screen FCs are fixed, but layouts are still wrong. I don't know if I can fix it to be truly dpi-independent but I think 560 is optimal value for this screen.

Is this working with
H960a
V20a-AME-xx??

1k views and only 11 "thanks"??? Really? Guys! We need support devs! Big THANK YOU for ur hard work @rudi666. I haven't try ur method yet but I am happy with the fact that something is beginning to happen with v10

I did try his method and it worked like a charm. Ok, you'll have to reflash TWRP if you want to use it but I'm sure it's just a matter of time until we have permanent TWRP like th T-Mobile V10 obviously has.
Thanks to rudi666 I have root, xposed, adaway and viper4audio up and running on my V10. And as there are no interesting custom roms to flash in my opinion it does not matter that I'd need to reflash TWRP. If you plan your flashing in advance you can flash all zip files in one go. No real need for TWRP afterwards.

Thanks guys. Unfortunately I see there is not much going on in V10 scene, and it's a shame.

Hm.. if you follow instructions you should get permanent TWRP, just try "adb reboot recovery" to test it if you don't want to risk clearing data when using button combination. There is a file called /system/boot-from-recovery.p which is 'restoring recovery' on every boot (that's why there is an info in instruction about not rebooting your phone the first time), but after all the steps this file will be patched. I don't remember if the first use of TWRP or flashing SuperSU does it, but you should get permanent recovery. If not you can always rename this file manually.

Hi,
I will try that again and see if I can get permanent TWRP. But as I said currently there is no real requirement for that. I flashed SuperSU and both files for xposed when I first booted into recovery and that is all I need at the moment.

i cant enter bootloader

after adb reboot booloader it keeb restart to soft

Ok thanks

I have J7 prime [SM-G610F] with stock andriod 8.1, samsung experience 9.5 and 1 November 2018 security patch will it still work?

I don't think so. I think the J7 with 8.1 is impossible to root? I can't seem to find an answer on this.

its not impossible to root j7 on oreo..just search here in xda and you will find the impossible is really possible.

Well the TWRP thread has no real answers and this method doesn't work either.

yes, I have made root in my SM-G610m with Android 8.1 and it was with TWRP, and I have learned it from YouTube and in Spanish language.
For now I do not have available Super User. I think this post will work for me

LordBaal19 said:
Which one do you recommend? At which point do I have to install it and then I don't need to install no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0?
EDIT: I think I finally got it. I did it like this:
1. Ok, so the phone as a fresh 8.1.0 system (just flashed the 7.0 and then it updated OTA in a matter of minutes). I enter the phone, enable the developer mode, enable OEM Unlocking and USB Debug.
2. Then I put the phone on download mode, flash the TWRP recovery disabling the auto-reboot on Odin so it doesn't boot to system automatically. This seem important since otherwise the recovery goes back to stock.
3. Then, to get out of download mode I press vol. down and power keys at the same time and the phone turn off. Then I turn on the phone into recovery mode, once in there I swipe into write mode and go to Wipe and select Format Data, type down yes and it says it's done. I go back to TWRP main menu.
4. I connect the cellphone to the PC and in storage I select Mount USB. Then drag the Magisk-v18.0.zip file into the storage that pops up on Windows. Then I saftely remove the device in Windows and go back to the main TWRP menu on the phone. I select Install and install the .zip file without selecting Signature verification or Reboot after is complete. It says is done installing and no errors seems to occur. I employ the button to wipe Cache and Dalvik.
5. I go back again o Wipe and select Format Data, type down yes and it says it's done, again.
5. Then I try to reboot to System, and choose to Do Not Install the TWRP app, and... SUCCESS!! The phone starts again, I config everything and then Magisk is there in the apps. I tried with an app that requires SU and it works!
Thanks for the help.

That's the way I have done it. But if you go on Z3X, select the device (SM-G610M), and you perform some activity like repair IMEI, Z3X detects the root, but it does not detect the Super User.

Beware If you update to new V8 bootloader then rooting and everything will not work. You will be stuck on stock possibly for good

Thank you sir. Amazing is you, works great much better than safestrap and much easier to get into and out of. I hope one day im able to return the favor and help you out with something to make your life easier as you have done with countless people, much appreciated

Thank you so much for all the work you have done here and for injecting this phone with a much needed revitalization.
Now for the first dumb question, what can be flashed? ROMs? Custom Kernel? (Nethunter?) Any idea would ve helpful. Thanks again!

how to know that which version v4 or v8 on are we?

i thinks i updated to "G935TUVS8CRJ1" can i be flash on it?

Quick question. I just used this method to root my phone (v4 bootloader, CRI2 firmware if I'm reading it right). I had been looking at the post [Rom][ALL+CARRIERS_CRF1][Stock_Oreo_Hybrid][Safestrap_Preinstalled]. That one seemed like a good deal because of the followup post on Safestrap flashable zips, like Xposed framework, Extreme Debloater, Dual Speaker, etc....
I didn't consider that ROM because of the big warning Must Be On Stock CRF1, whereas I'm on CRI2 and this looked nicer anyway.
So, just to be sure I understand, now that I've used this method to root my phone I can install all those things and more by using this technique to get into TWRP on my phone. Correct? Further, I can use TWRP in this way to flash anything except a custom bootloader. Yes?
More specifically, all those ROMs listed over in the general Tools Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Development forum that say "for G9350 only", I can use this TWRP to flash those on my G935T ?? Is that right?

Should have been aware of what you are flashing a bootloader update is always an attempt to patch something. Usually root related. It is never to benefit the user. The first indication to me would have been a 4 version jump in bootloader versions all in one shot. I warned people all along that a bootloader change would come one of these days and kill root. Sprint seen it months ago. Tmobile and Sprint can now have there cozy little relationship with one another. I feel bad for you tmobile people. Remember when tmobile was the friendly carrier in the dev community along with sprint as well now they are the most unfriendly carrier in the dev community.

Twrp gives you no more options than you had before. You cannot just magically go flashing anything you want just because you have twrp. You can run a stock rom and mod it a little and that is it

How do you know what bootloader you're running?

i have problem with sw. rev check faiL device, can any dody help me & please

No, if your build number indicates that you're on the v8 bootloader, you're screwed for now. If you like the S7's features, you can grab an Exynos. Those you can root and modify to your heart's content. Plenty of custom ROMs available. It's not too expensive either. It's what I'm going to upgrade to, since I'm tired of this bull with the bootloader, and my glass is cracked anyway. Would probably cost nearly as much to repair as to just buy an Exynos.

That's a false positive by a single antivirus program. VirusTotal gives it clean on 54 out of 56 antivirus programs, and one of those is merely "suspicious," probably because it's a rooting tool.

I had to look this up so thought I'd share This is for Tmobile Versions
Example: G930TUVS8CRJ1 (5th # from right is 8, BL version - this is found in Settings>About Phone>Software Information>Baseband Version)
Which Oreo versions are safe (ver 4):
G930TUVU4CRI2 Oct 1, 2018
G930TUVU4CRF1 June 28, 2018
Not safe (ver 8):
G930TUVS8CRJ1 Oct 26, 2018 release date

BTW nice work as always Jr! Oh, & almost forgot ...your last comment saved my @zz!!! I wasn't aware of the ver 8 issue, and the fact that u can't downgrade!! DAMN Samsung!!!!! I was seriously about to try this latest update just to try & figure out RCS not working on CRF1 & randomly came across this! THANKS! (BTW if you know anything about RCS on s7 or services/apks needed for functionality on CRF1 please pm me!)
On another note, let's have a contest to see who can hold on to the S7 the longest as their primary phone

It works perfectly , I had no problem installing it. But I have a question:
Could I replace the SuperSu with the Magisk?
I am also in the Rom Project L S7 of Lanc-City: 3

Thanks for the effort and providing root for T-Mobile. Perhaps I am an unlucky person. By the time I discovered this thread, my phone was already updated to G930TUVS8CRJ1 version. I am wondering if there is any hope for V8 bootloader to root their phone in near future. Here is my humble request if you could provide root for V8 update. TIA.

Thank you. It worked fine on my nougat s7 flat with v4 bootloader. Now I have nougat root. I have a question if I may, Can I use tmp twrp to flash Oreo or one of your, or other roms? Or would I need to upgrade the kernel or something because I can flash Oreo being that I'm on Nougat. Thanks.

You have to update bootloaders and firmware as well so its better to update to oreo first

working fine.
update: gonna have to switch back to u firmware because even when i unroot the phone, certain games wont work or connect to server. i cant install magisk to bypass safetynet or hide magisk after installing so root isnt even seeming worth it on this device. might as well stick to the u firmware and disable the apps I dont need and disable ota update so that i dont get the v8 bootloader update. It was fun while it lasted.

[Galazy Z Fold2 F916U/U1_Snapdragon]-[Upgrade Easily Firmware Using Odin]-[Automatically Root Remove Forceencrypt Patch Bluetooth And Fix Safetynet]

Must Have An Unlocked Bootloader To Do This!
This An odin tar file I have created to flash along with stock odin firmware to automatically install TWRP recovery along with Disable VBMETA image. The tar file will also automatically install magislk root along with remove force encryption and patch bluetooth library file. It will also patch safetynet. No flashing of zips is required
Info For Bootloader Unlocks Can Be Found In Post 2
I Do Not Recommend Mixing Bit 1 With Higher Firmware!!!!
Unless Using Bit Safe Firmware That Is Patched​
Downloads
SM-F916U/U1/W- Model
USERDATA_AIO_F916U_5G_FORCE_WIPE_10_10_21.tar.md5
This will force a wipe of data no mater what.
Full Odin 3.1.1 Bit1 Safe Firmware
F916USQS2EUH9_BIT1_SAFE.7z Thanks @markfm
This are odin files and will safely update all image files too bit 4 and keep bit 1 bootloaders. Unfortunately this will wipe data this is beyond my control as it seems to be a side affect of mixing firmware it causes data not to mount and therefore my AIO will format it. This is full firmware with USERDATA_AIO. This will put you on U firmware. Before flashing I recommend removing your google account and make sure in download mode you are not frp locked
If above USERDATA_AIO_G78*_FORCE_WIPE_NO_BL is newer than the one in this zip use the newer one from above
Odin3_v3.14.1_3B_PatcheD.zip
TWRP Recovery Provide by afaneh92
Be prepared to have your data wiped. The process tries to determine if you do or do not need to have data wipe but as a precaution just assume your data will be wiped. Especially if using U1 or W firmware
Install Instructions For Newly Unlocked Devices
You must be OEM Unlocked Bootloader
1. On Initial unlock of phone you must through setup and be signed into your google account.
2. Reboot phone too download mode and make sure KG STATUS=CHECKING (see pic) and not PRENORMAL. If PRENORMAL then do step 1 again

Install Instructions For Updating Firmware On Phone Already Unlocked
1. Reboot phone too download mode and make sure KG STATUS=CHECKING. If not see above
2. Use patched 3.14 odin and load stock firmware in appropriate slots use regular CSC file in the CSC slot and load file one of the USERDATA_SLOT_F916U_**.tar.md5 in the USERSDATA slot of odin and flash firmware. Do not use the User Data file that comes with firmware.
3. Phone will reboot to TWRP and check for encryption and remove if needed which will wipe phone. If phone is not encrypted data will not be wiped. Phone will reboot back too TWRP to finish install then reboot to setup if data was wiped or reboot normally if it was not
Install Instructions If Updating Images With TWRP
1. When done flashing images in TWRP Reboot phone too download mode and make sure KG STATUS=CHECKING. If not see above.
