Nougat TAR File Now Available!
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767156558
Things You Need To Know First
There are two variations on the 3-button method (also known as the "three-finger salute."
Volume Down + Home Button + Power puts you into Download mode.
Volume Up + Home Button + Power puts you into Recovery mode.
You will need Odin, which is here. With your phone in Download mode, Odin allows you flash firmware files (also called TAR files) and Recovery images. Odin is available from here: http://www.samsungodindownload.com/ Any version that starts with 3.10 (like 3.10.6) is fine. No need to update. Put the Odin files where you can find them
Getting Started
If you are on stock and have not rooted or changed the Recovery on your phone, go to Settings, scroll to the bottom, System Updates, Download manually. That should get you to Nougat. We'll come bac to this in a bit.
If you are Rooted and have TWRP installed, you have the option of a Clean Install. Which I recommend as this is a major update. This will wipe your settings and apps, you will need to begin all over, but it is worth the inconvenience. You can use Titanium Backup (TiBu for short) to back up apps and data, but you run the risk of things not working right. Your choice.
1) Download the Nougat TAR file and put that in your Odin directory.
2) To do a clean install, go to TWRP. Wipe, Advanced Wipe, then select Dalvik, System, Data and Internal Storage. WARNING! This is going to wipe everything, so back up your pictures, chat logs, etc. FIRST! Don't leave TWRP after this.
3) Still in TWRP, go to the Reboot menu. Select Download. Your phone should now be in Download mode.
4) Connect your cable, open Odin and select AP and point it to the QC7 file. Click start and wait awhile. This is rewriting your Recovery and operating system. It is going to take some time. Your phone should reboot.
5) Once you are done, you should be on Nougat. You will need to log in, like you were setting up a new phone.
6) Now to install TWRP and Root. Power your phone down. Once it is shut down, use Volume Down + Home Button + Power to get back into Download mode. Grab the TWRP TAR file from here: https://dl.twrp.me/zerofltespr/ Put that in your Odin directory as well, but wait before flashing. Open Odin, go to Options and de-select Auto Reboot. We don't want the phone to reboot until we root it first. Otherwise it will overwrite the TWRP file and return to stock recovery. Now we can flash the TWRP TAR.
7) Your phone will still be in Download mode. Hold the Volume Down + Home Button + Power buttons until the phone shuts down. It takes some seconds, don't panic.
8) After shutdown, hold the Volume Up + Home Button + Power to get into TWRP. Grab the root file from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/root-s6-nougat-supersu-t3570740 (don't forget to thank @dr.ketan for his work) and copy that to your phone. Flash in TWRP and reboot.
9) You now have a nice, clean, Nougat install with Root and TWRP.
Let me know your comments and if there are any steps that I need to modify.

Probly not man, and tbh I don't see why you would wanna.
Thanks, rooted no problem. I like the new ui so far and battery seems better already, as well as signal. Anyone figure out hotspot? I tried the flashable fix and idone but figured neither would work this time. Whats odd is the hotspot and tethering app appears to be for verizon? I froze it and it doesnt affect hotpot under settings.

You'd be able too. You'd just have to flash a tar file from 6.0.1 through odin.
Would it be possible to use this method without wiping the device, and not brick the phone?

Yes. I did this and I'm not having any issues or battery drain problems. You'll have the best experience if you do wipe, though. I'd do a backup either way just in case.
Out On Travel
Glad that this is working out for everyone. I'll be gone most of next week on a work trip. I'll check in on my return.
Have fun with Nougat!

Check on the Xposed thread, this is only for TWRP and Root. (I don't use Xposed, I'd be as likely to tell you the wrong thing as I would be to help.)
As of February, I heard that it wasn't ready. See http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/0...r-says-be-patient-a-nougat-version-is-coming/
But again, I just don't know for sure.
Yeah, there is still no xposed for nougat now. What a pity.

QB1 is the latest TAR file available. To get to Nougat you need to take the OTA. Which is why the instructions say "Connect to your network and follow the instructions above about System Updates. Once you are done, you should be on Nougat."

Hey guys I followed this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2235366
I used a file called "CF-Auto-Root-d2spr-d2spr-sphl710.tar"
Everything goes well and I get a green pass from oden3, the phone reboots. But superSU is not installed and when I check "Root checker" there is no root....
I have 4.1.2
Thoughts?
Just download superuser and simply place it on your phones SD card it's really easy

Your phone is not finishing the process it seems. After Odin says pass do you get a big red Android on the screen? If not flash the cf auto root file but uncheck auto reboot in Odin first. Then when it finishes, pull the cable and remove the battery. Reinsert the battery and manually boot to recovery by holding volume up+home+power and it should finish installing root.
I don't know what the post above me is taking about. Installing superuser isn't going to magically give you root. js

It wouldnt brick the phone but if you are seeing the red android then i was mistaken about what your issue is so disregard. Is your phone new? I bet the issue is related to one others are having where recovery cant mount partitions. To confirm that try this. Download this and place on pc http://goo.im/devs/billard412/d2spr/AUTOBOOT_RECOVERY/SPH-L710_TWRP_AUTOBOOT.exe
Its a odin one click that will autoboot you to twrp recovery just open it and click start with your phone connected in download mode.
Download this and place on your sd card. (preferably external)

You want to press install then hit "up a level" until youre in the root "/" directory. Then choose "external_sdcard" then tap "root.zip" and swipe to confirm at the bottom.

It's basically the same thing. Cf auto root will install a special recovery made by chainfire and a cache.img with a root zip. It's supposed to flash that zip then restore stock recovery. I've never seen cf auto root fail to do the job so im not sure what went wrong.
But the way you did it was you installed your own custom recovery and manually flashed a root zip created by me instead. Only thing different here is that you still have that custom recovery instead of stock recovery now.

Got it man, is this custom recovery better than the stock or is it essentially the same? I plan to install a custom rom soon.

The custom recovery is the same with the exception that it gives you additional privileges over stock recovery. Like installing custom roms, so if you're planning on a custom rom soon then you may as well just stick with the custom one. I do however recommend you download goo manager from the playstore and updating your recovery to the newest with it before trying to flash anything. The recovery I gave you may be a little outdated. And if for any reason you want stock recovery back I'll make a odin tar of it and place it in this post

Personally I think the chances of your efs going bad are slim and a backup is more for paranoid people. With that said it never hurts to back it up. I just wouldn't restore it unless you have to.

Flashing the TWRP is the same way as you flashed Root.
Is this what you used ?
CF-Auto-Root-t0lteatt-t0lteatt-samsungsghi317.zip
If so ODIN was in there.... You are using the same method to flash the custom recovery. If you didn't use that file above, that may be part of your problem.
The only way to get rid of the Knox messages is to disable it. Flashing the Update SU file will do that.

That is fine.... That file was in the zip file I posted....
You flash the recovery file the same way.. Then you follow the instructions to boot into recovery. After you copy the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip to your external sdcard or sdcard.
Then follow the TWRP flashable zip install instructions. Takes less than 15 minutes for the whole process.
After it flashes, go to the supersu app, click it should pop and ask to disable Knox.
Or try and reflash the CF-auto-root file since you have done that already. Pay attention to the status screen makes sure it completes successfully.

So I pretty much have Flash the recovery file to install CWM correct? And then I boot into recovery mode, So I could then flash the superuser update? I think thats how it goes.. Lol im sorry it's kinda confusing.

Correct. The recovery file is the custom recovery.
There are two main types of custom recoveries.
- CWM, ClockWorkMod, which comes in a touch format or a format you need to use your power button, up/down volume keys to navigate.
- Or TWRP, Team Win Recovery Project To start with use TWRP, I think it is the easier of the two to use.
You have the steps correct.
1. Flash the TWRP custom recovery file in ODIN. (same method you attempted with the CF-AUTO-Root)
2. Reboot into recovery.
Power off phone.
Wait a minute and turn it back on. To boot into TWRP recovery (HOLD VOL UP+HOME+POWER) while it is powering on. Do this quickly after turning phone on, within seconds of powering on.
3. You'll see a screen that says Team Win Recovery Project at the top with about six grey buttons on a black background
Click install.
Upon hitting Install, you’re presented with the files and folders on your phone’s storage, from which you can select the file you want to flash. Find the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip.
With the file selected, you can swipe the slider to confirm and start flashing the selected file.
4. Once the flashing process is complete, TWRP gives you some handy options for quick access to certain tasks that many users would need to perform after flashing, eliminating the extra steps required to pick them from their individual sections. These include wiping cache and dalvik cache, and rebooting the system, in addition to a Home shortcut.
Click reboot. Then go to SuperSU app and test it.

Correct. The recovery file is the custom recovery.
There are two main types of custom recoveries.

So I pretty much just flash TWRP and then I understand from there. But what do I need to flash CWM for then?

Close your eyes and erase CWM from your mind.... Think happy TWRP flashing thoughts.
They are technically both the same thing. They do the same thing.
Can anyone please give me any helpers on the easiest way to Root and install TWRP on my H815, Im in the UK and Im running MM 20a official rom.
I have rooted other phones but not this is a new phone and isn't as straight forward as my G2 was.
Thanks in advance.

I think I need to be already rooted to use this method, dp I not ?
I need to root and install twrp.
When i had my G2, the forums was buzzing with new Roms, it was pretty much a bullet proof phone, i was hoping for the same with the G4, pretty gutted that its so quiet in these forums for this phone.

Hope your TWRP sticks, I'm new to this and it took me 3 attempts to get it to stick.
To get into recovery
Hold both power button and volume down button pressed
At first sight of LG logo release power button 1 second, Still holding volume down, then repress power button.
You should now get white screen with just 2 options, select "Reset" , Select with Power button, scroll with volume up/down
Again get white screen and confirm reset
If TWRP is on phone it should now appear.
If its not you are in for a Factory Reset
:
Now do a default backup in TWRP (very handy this)
Then move systemless root zip to phone.
In twrp select install find your "systemless root zip " flash , then reboot using "System" DO not accept option to root your phone offered after selecting- reboot>system.
Hope its goes well

I am on the same boat as OP. I unlocked the bootloader after updating to Marshmallow, so I didn't have TWRP from Lollipop. Now, even though it says that the flashing went okay, there is no recovery to boot into. Using "adb reboot recovery" it shows the android logo with the exclamation mark. If I do it using the hardware buttons, I get the LG's menu to wipe everything or exit.

If you have root there are many apps on play store such as : quick boot, simple boot, quick reboot. Install one of these and and they all all have options for reboot, hotboot, boot to recovery, etc. etc.
I have TWRP on my phone and if I use the standard way to enter recovery , power+volume down, then I will get the standard LG recovery screen but when I accept the recovery options there, it takes me to TWRP

That's the problem, I don't have root. I need TWRP to flash the SuperSU zip, don't I?
EDIT: Wait, do I need to say yes on the stock LG recovery first? The one that says wipe everything?

@ Dante897 No, if you don't have TWRP then don't. don't say yes to LG Recovery or you'll loose everything . You can also run TWRP on your PC and install systemless root zip that way. That maybe what I did, I can't exactly remember now.
I'm off to bed now, last night was a late night too.
I figured it out. You aren't supposed to flash the recovery., you are supposed to boot to it, flash SuperSU and then use Flashify to install TWRP. I did that, but I flashed the wrong SuperSU (I am an idiot I know) and my phone won't boot now. Currently I am in download mode and downloading the rom with LG Bridge . You can follow the guide here if you want http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/unlock-bootloader-install-twrp-root-t3128241 but whatever you do DO NOT flash SuperSU 2.46, grab the newest from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64161125&postcount=3
I cannot say that it will work, all I can tell you is that 2.46 certainly doesn't work.
EDIT: Alright, I let LG Bridge install the update, no wipe happened. I did the process again, this time I flashed SuperSU v2.62-3 and everything went well and my phone is now rooted.

I also had an issue with TWRP sticking. I followed someone else's tip and you have to have the twrp IMG saved on your computer and also on the phone before flashing recovery with fastboot.

So usually I don't have any issues with rooting my phone and all. For some unknown reason i just cant seem to root my Sprint Note 4 phone!
Information:
Phone: Sprint Note 4
Model: SM-N910P
Android Version: 6.0.1
Software Version: N910PVPU4DPE1
Build Number: MMB29M.N910PVPU4DPE1
TWRP Version: twrp-3.0.2-0-tbltespr (Which i successfully managed to install)
I used CF-Auto-Root-trltespr-trltespr-smn910p.tar
I did notice that when i flash my auto-root it says "Finding boot image.....Boot image not found, Aborting" under the Boot image patch.
Any ideas on what it means? I'm at a total loss so anything would help me at this point.

CF-Auto Root was made to flash with odin, to keep your stock recovery in place. I don't think it works with MM roms.
Just download and flash Supersu from within TWRP. Here's the thread for SuperSu Here.
I always use the Latest version 2.74 here. But you can use the Stable version 2.65 here. They're both in the thread above.
Enjoy!

No you don't have to wait. You can root. Cf-auto was made by the same person as supersu. It was just intended to root your phone with odin in one step. What it does is temporary installs a custom recovery that roots your phone, then puts back a stock recovery (At least something like that). But it isn't up to date to work with Marshmallow. So you just have to do it manually. I thought you said you already have Twrp recovery but I'll show you all steps. I'm assuming you have odin and know how to use it.
1. Download and install Twrp from this thread. Follow links in thread to download and install with Odin here.
2. Once you get TWRP installed. I suggest you boot into it and make a Full Backup of your phone.
3. Download onto your phone SuperSu 2.74 here.
5. Boot into Twrp and install the supersu file you downloaded.
You're now rooted.

Same issue :/
My Steps:
1. I use a script to convert TWRP IMG file to TAR then flash to my phone. (I used twrp-2.8.7.0-trltespr.img becuause TWRP 3.0.2.0 doesn't flash onto my phone for some reason.)
2. I go onto TWRP and install SuperSu 2.74. (While flashing i see the "Boot Patch" error")
3. Boot up phone and no SU is installed so i install SuperSU from playstore and open up the app. No SU binary installed.
4. After all goes wrong I try latest CF-Root to see if it works. No luck.
5. Try to get into TWRP and receive "Android installing recovery" or something similar. Stock android recovery is installed again.
6. Repeat.

Oh. That explains it. TWRP ISN'T installed. Let me explain.
1 Download Twrp here.
2 Odin Twrp to phone. Make sure to uncheck auto reboot in odin first. After odin completes it'll say something like all operations done. Just make sure odin is done. It don't take long. Then you have to unplug usb from phone and pull out battery for 10 sec. Put battery back in and hold Vol up + Home + Power button until Twrp boots.
3 now twrp is installed and you can install root.
Also backup your phone.
Sorry I'm busy right now and can't post a good post with pics. If that all makes sense then you should be good to go. If you don't understand what I mean I can message you later with some screenshots

tar.img is what you should flash in Odin for TWRP. If you are already on TWRP recovery, you can use the .img file to update within TWRP. TWRP makes both these files in flash form; one for Odin flash, the other for TWRP recovery flash. No need to convert. See link below for the Odin flashable TWRP.
Your kernel must already be patched or custom. (Possibly the reason it can't be patched).
When you boot your ROM, check your kernel and bootloader using Galaxy Tools or PhoneInfo for Samsung. If they don't match your last known update, it's possible you've not successfully updated because your reactivation lock is enabled and you didn't notice you failed to update. Nonetheless, check your reactivation lock by going into Settings/Security and uncheck the option.
If failures persist, flash the stock tar in Odin and make sure it flashes.
For the record, latest update for CF AutoRoot for Note 4 does in fact work. But note, you should flash that in Odin over full stock only. Don't try to flash it if you already flashed TWRP. It's intended to back up stock recovery and stock kernel to restore if you full un-root within the SuperSU application. It's been reportedly to be an unknown or dysfunctional but I can confirm it worked for me back on PB5 leaked MM tar. I used the latest update for CF AutoRoot for Note 4 then. Can't imagine anything broke since then but when I realized it was just systemless root, I lost interest. But hey, it has its purpose for those not interested in TWRP recovery and want yo test if OTA is possible with the limited modification. I've yet to test the theory that it may allow OTA update if system ro partition is left untouched. I like sound mods too much to leave system fully stock.
I can recommend an easier way though (if uninterested in systemless root): you don't have to pre-root if flashing a custom ROM. Once you determine your issue or just Odin flash and confirm the stock PE2 tar. Flash the TWRP tar.img file and then factory reset and flash Freeza's Note 4our beta 3.

Note: Thank freeza if the clean flash suggested goes as expected. His thread is in the development forum for Sprint Note 4.

First off some things you should do before ever flashing or rooting your phone.
1. Make sure ReActivation Lock is OFF. (Its in Settings>Security>Reactivation Lock = make sure its unchecked)
2. Turn on Developer options. (Goto Settings>About device and tap Build Number 4 to 5 times; then develepers options will be in settings menu, goto that and turn on USB Debugging)
3. You'll need Official Samsung Drivers HERE! Install this to your PC!
4. Always Backup Phone!!
Now your set to Flash and Root.
IM gonna assume your on a Stock ROM. To root your gonna need to use Odin to flash TWRP, then once thats done we'll root from there.
You'll need these files :
Odin3.11 from Here. , Thanks to @LMMT, Thank him here. You'll install this to your Windows PC.
TWRP 3.0.2.0 from Here. This file is only for the Sprint Note4 SM-N910P, So that better be the phone you have!! Download and save to PC! You can Thank @bigbiff at this Thread.
Lastly you need SuperSU Here! Thanks to @Chainfire at this Thread! Download and save to your Phones SD card or Internal memory.
Now you have the files. Make sure you dont have samsung Kies running while installing or flashing your phone. Actually Dont have any other programs running when Flashing your phone.
1st - Install Samsung Drivers to your PC.
2nd - Install Odin to your PC.
3rd - Copy SuperSU zip file to your phone.
Now unplug your phone and turn it off. And open Odin Program as Admin. Now on your phone hold down the Vol down button + Home button + Power button at same time until a screen shows a Warning.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
then you'll press Volume up to continue to Download Mode.
Once in Download mode plug into usb cord to PC. Your pc should install some drivers then Odin will show your device as connected. Goto options tab in Odin and make sure all the boxes are unchecked except F. Reset Time.
Then click the log tab so we can watch the progress were gonna make. Then click the AP button and load the Twrp file you downloaded into that. If everything looks like my pic then click start. Let it do what it does, dont touch anything until it done. Once down unplug phone and take out battery for 5 seconds.
Put battery back in and press Vol up + Home + Power until phone boots into Twrp Recovery.
Once in Recovery I sugessst to do a Full Backup.
Then you can Hit Install button in Twrp and find the Super SU file you saved on phone and Install and reboot when it says. Your ROOTED!!
Hope this isnt confusing. It really isnt that hard. But Id be able to show you better in person than in writing.

I meant to use CF AutoRoot, one should start with stock kernel and recovery.
There has been some inexplicable loss of systemless root. I don't claim to know what is causing that but prefer the system based root in freeza's ROM.
Your help has been good. I was posting as you were. Otherwise, I may not have posted that earlier.

Sorry my pics won't send. Also I see @samep mentioned that system less root won't stick on an altered kernel which I didn't know. Thanks.

Man, I am still not rooted when I boot the phone up. Still am getting the same Boot Patch error and everything.

I meant to use CF AutoRoot, one should start with stock kernel and recovery.
There has been some inexplicable loss of systemless root. I don't claim to know what is causing that but prefer the system based root in freeza's ROM.
Your help has been good. I was posting as you were. Otherwise, I may not have posted that earlier.

Oh ok, I must have read too fast. My bad.
I often wondered if anyone had lost root cause Yeah I lost root app a couple times with systemless root. Especially Always after I install idones unlock app I lose it. Have to reflash stock kernel and root.
I downloaded @freeza note four Rom last week. Haven't had time to install and play with it yet. I didn't know it had system root. It looks promising. I know he has done a lot for our device. As has a bunch of devs on this site. I know Ive seen your name all through here too. Thanks for all your help.
I don't claim to be a Dev but I like to hack, mod, and figure stuff out. And I've learned most the stuff I know here on XDA. So when I see someone I can help I try to give back to the community.

Ok lets get to the bottom of this. Im gonna walk you through getting a fresh stock boot image and then rooting it.
First do you mean when you start your phone it says that?
Or when you go to flash cf autoroot it shows that?
And Can you boot into TWRP recovery?

ok AWEsome. Where gonna see if a copy of your stock kernal is on your phone.
1. Boot into Recovery, Click Advanced, and then File Manager
you should now see the root of your .file system. Click on the Data folder and scroll down do you see a file that start with stock_boot_?

I do not see that. It could be that I just did a fresh update to PE2 and have a totally fresh ROM (with TWRP installed)

Besides the stuff we disgust. If that dont work. You could install a pre rooted rom. Or if you really want to figure out why it wasnt working.
I would start with clean slate and download the PE2 tar. Wipe phone and flash it. Reinstall Twrp and Supersu.
Hope it works! Have to get off here for awhile!!
Let me know if you got it!
Will the same method work on pj1 ?
LG V30 T-Mobile H932 20r ROM
For U.S. T-mobile H932 ONLY. Do NOT install this on any other V30/V30+/V30S except U.S. T-mobile H932. You will brick your phone.
DISCLAIMER : I do not hold responsiblity for any of the following but not limited to : Bricks due to not reading, nuclear war, cat dying. I will not be held responsible for any damage of any kind due to the result of this zip. It is held under your own risk. This does not mean that i wont help in any way shape or form to recover from anything that may happen at the result of flashing this zip. PLEASE FLASH RESPONSIBLY! PS. This zip has NOT been tested by me!
This Rom is 100% Stock. Most recent TWRP should first be installed. Then you can install this Rom and have Oreo with working TWRP.
This zip is created from the original KDZ. It contains almost the complete 20r firmware, but the partition table rewriting part and recovery image is removed. I changed the system.img, so you do not have to reinstall TWRP (recovery-from-boot.p deleted) when ROM once booted. I also changed the partition size of system.img, so the vendorized people can install this too without having problems because of a too small system partition. This is a continuation of westwood24's idea and work, I've updated it to the newest fw version and edited / advanced it a bit. I followed his idea and made this for users who can not take OTA's because they have Custom Recovery / Root installed.
Features
Stock build made from official KDZ
Stock Build.prop
Unrooted
system.img modified to keep TWRP
System image size shrunk for being able to flash this on a smaller system partition, mainly caused by vendorizing
Removed dm-verity
Removed rctd (LG's root checker tool daemon)
Enabled opt-encrypt, it's your choice now if you want to encrypt your phone, it's no more forced. TWRP now is capable of decryption (both AOSP and stock) since a few versions
Added DTS build prop
Added all lockscreen weather animations build prop
Installation
What you need
Unlocked Bootloader [How to do]
Working TWRP installed (should be installed already, otherwise you wouldn't need this zip )[Link to newest unofficial TWRP]
When you need Root, Latest Magisk [Download]
H93220r.zip [Download]
How to install
When you are still on Nougat,
you should start fresh: Reboot to recovery using button combo or reboot app (needs root; btw, Magisk offers this possibility too: Menu -> Modules -> three dot menu top right - Reboot to recovery)
Then flash this TWRP.img via image flashing function in TWRP, reboot to recovery again (for fully working new recovery) and do a backup, then copy this backup to your PC.
Then initiate a factory reset. Wipe your system partition too in TWRP advanced wiping menu, copy the 20r firmware zip to your SD and install it. Reboot and enjoy
From Oreo:
For clean install: Factory reset and wipe system
You can also keep your data by simply dirty flashing the zip. *Be aware that problems may occure, maybe you need to do a factory reset to start fresh*
Flash the 20r zip, then Magisk zip when you need root, then reboot to System = you're DONE
P.S.: could be, that you first need to boot up your fresh install and set it up before you can flash magisk.
At the first time you boot to system, it can be TWRP says No OS installed. You can ignore it.
If TWRP asks if you want to install SU, hit no (in newest TWRP SU is disabled, and the option to install the TWRP app is disabled too.)
Rom Version
Android Version: 8.0 Oreo

Please to anyone who had issues with the zip.....
We have a fix!
Flash this zip
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397908552
Then flash a rom from your SD CARD
ONLY FLASH THIS OF YOU HAD A BRICK FROM 20R!!
Zip is live! Enjoy!
your zip name is wrong.. should be h93220r* ( it doesnt matter but i was confused at first)
also, i flashed it and nothing happened. my system is still the same as i was before (20p)
and in the script, i think it says 'model=VS996' or something. since it just words, it may not matter.
but maybe you used the wrong script for h932
In any case, the zip did nothing for me. flashing only took about 10 secs in total, and flashing system barely took a second.
So seems theres an issue with the zip. Maybe upload didn't quite finish as I did it while at work via rdp to my pc at home. Will look into it when I get off work

At the end of the flash it looks like it flashed fine but then it tells me it failed to mount everything. When I go to reboot into the system it tells me there is no OS. I was just going to flash the 20p zip I had but then it restarted and now I can't get into TWRP again. Now it just restarts into fastboot mode
UPDATE: I was able to get back into TWRP by going through the factory reset option (Volume down + Power, etc.) I'm now flashing the 20p zip I have.
UPDATE 2: Didn't work. Got into a bootloop. Restoring an old Lineage backup I have. Should have made a backup of my current state before flashing but I wasn't thinking
UPDATE 3: That didn't work either. Everything I flash it tells me failed to mount '/persist-lg' and just boot loops. I guess the next thing to do is try and use LGUP to restore
Same here as above. Doesnt mount system persist cache.

Flashing anything else doesn't fix it either. My phone is chillin' in recovery mode until I can figure it out

Thanks. Searching around, I see there have been people having issues like this before with other devices. Something to do with the persist.img. Did the last zip include one? Also, I hope whatever it is can be fixed with a new zip. I don't know why restoring a backup or flashing an old full stock zip wouldn't fix anything.
This is basically what I'm getting
