FOR LG-H815, bought in Germany.
a) Went through the effort and unlocked the bootloader through LG's official method.
b) Confirmed, several times, that the bootloader is indeed unlocked.(via 'fastboot getvar unlocked' and verifying that the response is "unlocked: yes")
c) Tried to swap the Stock Recovery Mode with TWRP, using 'fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.6.0-h815.img'. The process ends in 1 sec. After booting in recovery mode, I find out it doesn't actually flash it.
d) Inside cmd: adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot twrp-2.8.6.0-h815.img
At this point I am trying to boot TWRP for a one-time job of rooting the device.
-Install>>Select UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip>>Swipe to Install>> Reboot System
e) After reboot: PERMANENTLY STUCK, will not boot past LG's Logo. It is still possible to enter the Stock Recovery Mode, and Stock Download Mode.
I have repeated the process twice, reflashing the stock ROM, to the same effect. Any help is greatly appreciated.
You're flashing outdated versions of TWRP and SU...
I helped with this problem about 100 times now but I will do it one more time...
Firstly, reflash the stock MM ROM again.. Then download the better looking TWRP 3.0.2-0 from official twrp site -> https://dl.twrp.me/h815/twrp-3.0.2-0-h815.img.html
Now a little explanation. As far as I know in 6.0.X Google changed their policy a bit and the option to root the phone/ flash recovery is locked even though you have unlocked bootloader, and as well system root doesn't work, so instead of old SuperSU 2.46 you want to download newest systemless root zip -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133 . Now, since there is no stock modified boot.img for G4, you have to download and unpack the custom kernel like SimpleGX and take it's boot img that you want to flash via fastboot, or you can try flashing boot.img from the Autoprime's V20D flashable zips, I didn't try that one and I will not be able to because my G4 got a bootloop issue that I recovered it of by my self but I cannot boot it up on Marshmallow stock firmware. Anyway once you flashed the modified boot img you should be able to flash recovery and boot it up normally, then flash systemless root and if you used boot.img from custom kernel, flash the full package because you did not flash all the stuff from the package what may cause software problems in the long term I suppose. I think that's all you need to do to root it on MM.

And you would be correct. Although I have to wonder why guides on XDA don't even mention flashing a custom kernel like SimpleGX_KERNEL_H81520X_v1.3.2.zip

Hello,
I have a big problem with my H815.
My H815 bootloader is been unlocked.
II try to install TWRP, but without success:
Code:
C:\Users\~\Downloads\G4\platform-tools>adb reboot bootloader
C:\Users\~\Downloads\G4\platform-tools>fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.0-h
815.img

downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.189s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.036s]
finished. total time: 1.230s
For me, it's ok, but after that, my G4 reboot directly to the system (Android 6.0 : V20A).
And when I run the command "adb reboot recovery" I get to a screen where there is only an Android slept with a red triangle and "No command."
Any idea please?
Kind regrards,

thanks, now it works. My mistake was that I installed directly a supersu (not this from twrp) and this messed up the boot.
After installing twrp permanently, I used this method to get root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-root-lg-marshmallow-rom-repacked-t3265497
now I have root and twrp
Can someone help me please ?
I tried to flash the KDZ 2 times but still nothing I parobleme always the same.

Hmm...have you already had root before flashing TWRP?
I think you can use Flashify.apk

try first fastboot erase recovery, then fastboot flash recovery twrp....img
then fastboot reboot recovery
I downloaded the v20b kdz and flashed via LGUP.. I don't know what's wrong mate, sorry. :silly:
I'm trying to flash twrp to my lg g4. I've reached the part where I run
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
And everything seems to work fine, but when I try to enter recovery mode, I get the default lg recovery (restore factory mode options) and not twrp.
Here's what it prints out when I run the flash command:
Code:
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (32060 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.827s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.341s]
finished. total time: 1.168s
What am I doing wrong?
I tried doing it from a different computer and tried flashing older version of twrp.
No mate, you're not doing something wrong. You must overwrite the stock recovery, because it auto-flashes every time when phone starts. Best way is to use these commands :
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot recovery.img (rename recovery recovery.img , without .img (that's the extension, only "recovery", to make it clear)
I'm waiting the results....
Boot the image like. Azza_09 said then when TWRP has booted click on install then change to img instead of zip and select your twrp image. That should work, but Lg front end will be shown when booting to bootloader, simply answer both questions with yes then TWRP will load
Getting confused.
Loaded Nougat on my Nexus 5x... unlocked boot loader, loaded TWRP 3.0.2-2 rebooted, saw TWRP,
Moving files to the phone to restore using TB, but have not yet done SUPERSU.. reboot back into recovery, Android Flat on back Red Triangle, No command??
Can reboot into the phone it works, just can't get back to TWRP for reasons I can't figure out.
Feels like I missing a step, but can't figure out what. Looked at a lot of pages, but nothing really stands out.
Update: Used fastboot boot [twrp imagename].img
And it got me directly to TWRP. Able to load SuperSU then.
Update #2: What I didn't make clear in this original post was I did in fact flash the TWRP recovery, it just didn't stick.
Command used originally:
Code:
C:\SDK\platform-tools>fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-2-bullhead.img

sending 'recovery' (16433 KB)...

My mistake was to then reboot where it was apparently overwritten hence the confusion.

The reason that happens is if u fastboot boot twrp.img u will only have a temporary twrp until u reboot..if u had typed fastboot flash recovery recovery twrp.img then when u reboot the recovery would be permanent...

Actually, I did use flash the recovery. It came up just fine. However, after a reboot, when I booted back to recovery I got the No Command.
I had to re-flash TWRP, and then reboot back to Recover from TWRP, then reboot, then it worked like it should.
The command you posted was to boot a recovery, not to flash one in the recovery partition.
Anyway, you can't just flash TWRP and boot, because the boot will replace stock recovery, you got to flash supersu/another kernel from the recovery after flashing for it to stick.
You Can try this adb command :
fastboot flash recovery twrp_3.0-2-2.img
fastboot boot twrp_3.0-2-2.img
And normaly it's ok you have twrp installed
Thanks for the other responses...
Just to confirm what I did originally (I just unrooted so that I could use Magisk and PPH Root)
Code:
C:\SDK\platform-tools>fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-2-bullhead.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (16433 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.421s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.154s]
finished. total time: 0.579s
However, If after doing this I rebooted the phone etc... TWRP was no longer there again. I had to do the same, force a boot to twrp, and then install Magisk before rebooting for it to stick.
Just in case someone else runs into this confusion.
I am now on Android 7 Nougat on a Nexus 5X with Magisk using PPH Root and can now use Root, Android Pay and some other apps which won't run with root enabled. Happy Camper for now.
The step your missing is after you fastboot flash the recovery don't reboot the phone just yet. You have to reboot the bootloader by typing fastboot reboot bootloader. After doing that use the volume up button to access recovery. Once you do that then you can start the phone.

If you boot with a stock boot.img the android boot process will replace your recovery partition with stock if the SHA256 for the recovery doesn't match what it expects. The way you can stop this is to modify your boot.img, which would happen if you install SuperSU prior to first android boot after a new flash.

You are trying to flash TWRP with a locked bootloader and it obviously fails. Download the full official ROM from OnePlus site and the corresponding recovery also. First flash the recovery and reboot to bootloader and then flash the OS and reboot. If you are successful, you can enable Developer Options and from there OEM unlock and USB debugging. Thereafter you can try TWRP, Magisk and other ROMs.
Hmm, I thought he said he can enter bootloader and recovery. If so, reboot the phone in stock recovery and flash full Rom from local update.

NO.
So that is where you are committing a mistake. You have not been reading the posts carefully.
All of us are asking you to download the STOCK recovery compatible with the version of the stock ROM chosen by you and to FLASH THE STOCK RECOVERY FIRST, NOT TWRP.
Because TWRP can't be flashed with a locked bootloader whereas the stock recovery can be flashed from bootloader. Then go for the ROM, sideload it using adb and boot.

Hello guys,
Please help me because I'm stuck. I'm trying to install latest TWRP on my OP5 with no success. Let me tell you what I tried.
- I'm running on OOS 10.0.1
- sucessfully installed ADB and drivers on Windows 10.
- sucessfully unlocked bootloader
Then I downloaded latest TWRP, renamed it to twrp.img and placed it in a folder where ADB and fastboot are. Device is seen in both ADB and fastboot.
When in fastboot I tried first the command:
C:\>fastboot boot twrp.img
fastboot: error: cannot load 'twrp.img': No such file or directory
then I googled and tried with file directory:
C:\>fastboot flash recovery c:\adb\twrp.img

Writing 'recovery' OKAY [ 0.164s]
Finished. Total time: 1.220s
The second command with direct source I tried both using USB 3.0 and via USB hub and it doesn't work. When I reboot to recovery it enters to the stock OP recovery and no sign of TWRP.
Can you please help me?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, i could be misreading your steps but have you tried renaming the twrp image to twrp and then try fast booting with twrp.img again. It may be that by including the .img in the file name it is looking for twrp.img.img.
I'm no ADB expert but that may be all that's needed as it reads like everything else is working as should from my limited experience.
