1..flash clockwork recovery mod
2..backup my phone data
3..install a rom from sd card.. I download the tagju -maguro factory image from Google developers
4..extract the files in a folder And copied that folder in my phone internal storage.

I tried figuring out What's going wrong the whole Night But couldn't succeed..
Hope I explained my problem... do let me know of anyone up with it's solution.

the factory image from google is a img file you can only flash zip files in recovery... you have to flash the img file in fastboot mode, follow efrants guide to go back to stock

too long and complicated? really?
it boils down to a couple commands
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system.img
fastboot flash userdata.img
fastboot flash recovery.img
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
if that is too difficult, you need to never root/rom your phone.

Bro actually a friend of mine rooted my phone And hes overseas now.. thats why I'm asking for help... could u tell me How to flash these images?? Plzzzz

1. You haven't explained where you got the file, and I'm still not sure whether you have a flashable zip or an img.
2. If an img, the post above yours explained generally how to flash the images, and efrant's guide linked a couple posts above that is quite clear as well. In short, put your phone in fastboot, connect to computer, and fastboot flash the relevant files from terminal.
3. If a flashable zip, don't unzip it; just wipe and flash the entire zip from recovery.

You don't even have a custom recovery; flash stock images so that we can wrap this up.

Looks like a bad zip file or its a non flashable zip file.

Hello,
From what i saw in your attachment, I can tell that you are using stock recovery. So I suggest you to google how to install Clockworkmod touch recovery.
Steps from wiki:
Download "Rom Manager" from Google Play, use the app to download the correct version of CWM for your phone (update.zip file), reboot into the stock recovery and choose the option "re-install package" TWO TIMES to temporarily load CWM from the update.zip file. This file needs to remain on the phone to load CWM when needed each time. DO NOT DELETE!
Then boot into Recovery and install your rom (zip file)
Good luck,

zepius post #9. You could do fastboot boot "cwm.img", substituting the actual filename for "cwm.img" without the parentheses, then flash the .zip. Also, depending on what rom you're on, you'll probably need a factory reset first. Looks like you'll need to consult efrant's post to learn fastboot either way.

Guys, OP wants to unroot/return to stock. Instructions were already given.

[Q] restoring just the kernel

Question, if you are mucking around with kernels and want to restore to stock without doing a full TWRP nandroid restore, can you just restore the boot partition?
Alternatively, how does one pull just the stock kernel (including ramdisk) from the factory image? In the past with other brands its been more convoluted e.g. with HTC I remember in addition to flashing the stock kernel in zip you had to push something in fastboot as well (the ramdisk). Unfortunately I can't find just the stock kernel file(s) in this forum hence asking if it can be pulled from the factory image
Thanks in advance

Hi
If you use Nexus Root Toolkit you can start the program and exists the option Launch and there exists restore stock kernel. I think it can solve your problem but first confirm.

There are stock JWR66N and JSS15J kernels attached to this post:

That are only .img files and not zImage files.
So only with PC or MAC flashable.

I am not sure what your idea of a zImage file is. These are compressed kernels with compressed root filesytems, which is what a zImage is.
You can flash these in fastboot over a PC or you can use dd to restore the partition while in android. Just make sure you know what you are doing in the latter case and don't overwrite the wrong partition or you can have big issues.

I know what a zImage is and this files can easily be flashed via Recovery (TWRP, ...)
If you know a similar method for .img files you can share it.

If you compare the md5 of a TWRP backup of the stock kernel against the system.img in my posts, they will be exactly the same. I didn't use TWRP, but used the same method as TWRP. Thus if your definition of a zImage is that it can easily be flashed via Recovery (TWRP, ...)
rename system.img to boot.emmc.win
copy into TWRP dated backup folder
restore in TWRP, check boot, uncheck everything else, disable MD5
If you want to do md5
md5 boot.emmc.win > boot.emmc.win.md5
echo " boot.emmc.win" >> boot.emmc.win.md5

Extract stock kernel from OTA's or Full Images

Does anyone know how to extract the stock kernel from the OTA/Full images downloaded from Google's servers for our device? Additionally, is there a way to make it flashable zip through TWRP? Thanks.

Use a program like 7zip or Winzip to extract the factory image. Then, you'll see another large zip, extract that one too. Then inside you'll see the boot.img which is the kernel and recovery in one. Take that boot.img and put it on your internal storage. Boot into twrp, select install, then select image on the bottom right, then go to where you put the boot.img, tap it, then select the boot partition to flash it to. Takes about a second and it's done. Now your on stock kernel again. Keep in mind, that you'll have to flash the twrp.zip again when your done. Also, be sure to remove all lock screen security before you start all of this. I'm sure you know about that already though ?

Factory reset and erecovery reset does nothing to /system.
So what ever was flashed is still there. My advise would be to try flash your stock rom. Full-ota only.

ok, thats good.
Not sure what got changed on device during bad install, so suggest doing full-ota forced update.
you had oreo , correct?
what device number / model?
1. download the ota-full files from
http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=bND&firmware_page=0
2. make folder on external sdcard "HWOTA8"
3. put downloaded files into folder with no-check-oreo-recovery
4. put hwota-7-&-8-update.zip in folder
5. twrp install hwota-7-&-8-update.zip
it will install the update files, you will be back to working stock emui 8, ready for you to start modding it again.
(possibly might need factory reset when done, to clear remaining bad files from bad install)

there is a modified stock recovery that is used to install ota update files. It has been modified to "not check" version numbers. So it will install anything.
It is included in the zip fie at the download link I shared

[ROM/FW][STOCK]LG V30 (Joan) T-Mobile H932 20r TWRP flashable firmware (incl. ROM)

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
Android security patch level: 2019-1-1

Please to anyone who had issues with the zip.....
We have a fix!
Flash this zip

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.

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
