Encryption Notes
In Android, a stock device will have it's data encrypted. Often when working in TWRP on an encrypted device, you will be greeted by prompt asking for a passcode in order to decrypt the device. Unless that port of TWRP has been written for your specific device and supports decryption, you will not be able to decrypt the data on your phone. If you cannot decrypt the data, then TWRP cannot mount system and/or other partitions it needs to mount in order to safely flash anything. In order to solve this problem, sadly, you have to format the data partition on your phone (losing all personal data accumulated on the internal storage, so back it all up manually) The steps for this process are Format Data in TWRP, Reboot to recovery (to mount partitions), then flash your rom and root. There are a few tools out there to disable force encryption on your device. See the Required section above for links for this device.
Packages have been successfully tested VIA the methods outlined above.
If anyone has any issues with one or more of these packages, please let me know. Thank you!

would it be possible for you to make a "debloated" stock rom?? all stuff we can "technically" reinstall from play store. Something close to stock android as possible.
This did not work. I used the zip with magisk. Magisk was and is not installed I lost TWRP and download mode doesnt work and just reboots to system after a minute.
Anyway to fix this? It boots fine but i dont have fastboot and download mode shows only the download mode screen then reboots

Verify that you did download "h93220p_fullStock_wMagisk.zip". It worked fine for me, and I can confirm it has magisk as I was on 17.3 on 20o and magisk manager says I'm on 18.
Also, were you coming from 20o?

Yes, I can make a debloated ROM. Gimme a day or two and I'll try to add one to the OP.

Sorry M8, but i tested this zip and verified that it flashes all partitions and then flashes magisk all in one go. I think maybe you downloaded the package without magisk by mistake.
This zip does not flash LAF, so if you had TWRP on LAF before flashing this, you should be able to just boot to download mode using the usb cable and reflash TWRP to recovery.

After further testing, I discovered that after wiping and doing a clean flash of FullStock w Magisk, Magisk failed to repack the boot image. I had to flash magisk a second time for it to complete the process.
I will update the OP. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I hope you are able to get back into TWRP

No recovery was not in LAF and was overwritten and I don't have fastboot and download mode doesn't seem to work right. Phone works just no root I guess. I should have paid more attention to what was going on when I flashed it.

Im sorry man. I honestly have no idea why download mode was affected because these zips don't touch it at all. If you go through the root process again, I recommend keeping a copy of TWRP on both LAF and Recovery.

Ok, so I cooked up a debloated and deodexed ROM, but when I tested it, it was really laggy and some system apps crashed all the time.
I think I might be able to get away with not deodexing it for better performance, and probably keeping a few of the apps I removed. Id rather not publish it until it's smooth and stable, so I'll keep working on it.
let me know if you are interested in trying the unstable build and ill upload it but it has issues

Yah I'll wait til you have all the bugs worked out. Side note when I was "trying" to debloat. I removed chrome from system. It broke a few system apps. Maybe that will help. Thanks again for your work

I did remove chrome in the ROM so ill keep that in mind when I try again tonight. I don't think I'm going to deodex it either unless I get a smooth running build.. I'm not sure the advantage in oreo anyway since it's vdex now. but ill give it another go

Hello all!
I am currently on OOS 3.2.8, and official TWRP. I have read all the instructions on the forums but all lead to one option, formatting internal memory. So, my question are:
1. Will flashing oos 4.0 work with official TWRP or 8 have to use modified 28 version?
2. How can I flash oos 4 with modified TWRP and not have to wipe internal memory?
I would appreciate all the responses. Thanks
I was the same predicament as you. I finally took the plunge and now I have Nougat running on my OP3. Here is what I did :
Start: OOS 3.2.8 w/ custom kernel and modified TWRP
1. Flash stock recovery (Google for a forum post in the OP3 forums on downloading the stock recovery and flash it through fastboot)
2. Reboot and let 3.2.8 start
3. Download Snap VPN and change the country to Canada. You will be prompted for the system update.
4. Let the update download (~1 GB)
5. Install the update. You may see an error of the installation may fail as your phone is rooted. Ignore and go ahead.
6. The installer will now boot to stock recovery and reboot with Nougat. All settings and apps will be maintained
The only catch is that you may have ext4 instead of f2fs. I am okay with it for now... But your mileage may vary
All the best!
Edit : Nougat running on my op3.

Are you rooted? Are you encrypted? What file systems are you using for your partitions? You're not giving full information. Why is formatting not an option if it'll give you the results you want?
To get to F2fs (I do recommend it)
Take a backup of your Data partition. , copy it to your pc with "adb pull /sdcard/Twrp/whatever".
Now go to Twrp>Wipe>Advanced select data and click on change file system. Change it to F2fs. Now restore your backup (Reader the guide all info is there). Profit!

I don't have any issues with ext4, infact i do feel ext4 is more stable than f2fs so file system is my last concern. Thanks for your method, but then how did u root again? Installing nougat is fine but what after that? I have read that you can't use modified twrp without formatting internal memory first, as it'll show you the pin issue. Let me know how do you propose a safe method to achieve root.

Yes i am encrypted, rooted, stock OOS 3.2.8 + Franco kernel. Official TWRP(not modified). I am using ext4, never used f2fs at all. The time to backup data and then to restore it all back is the reason formatting is not an "preferred" option for me. I can do it, but i would have to wait until i find enough time to do the whole process. I am in a full time job, so i hope you would understand.

Well this again defeats the purpose of my original question, but thanks mate. I would definitely read the guide if decide to switch to f2fs.
@abhibnl. BTW your encrypted. So the modified TWRP won't work.
How to fix:
Wipe Userdata with Fastboot / fastboot erase UserData
Boot into Twrp modified twrp.
Flash OOS 4.0 flash SuperSU and let it boot
You should be decrypted DO NOT install a boot password since you will be encrypted again.
I haven't rooted my phone again. My only reason to root is to install Adaway to block all ads. With DNS66 and Adguard, I have little incentive to root my stock nougat install.
Edit : I had encryption during 3.2.8 and it carried over to 4.0

Thanks a lot for informing me mate. I really don't want to decrypt my storage as of now. I guess flashing stock recovery is the only solution now. Will hope someone would pick up the twrp and update it.

Seems like stock recovery is the best way as of now. Seems like I'll have to love without root until someone updates twrp to support encrypted storage.
I haven't updated to Nougat yet, but I looked over Chainfire's SuperSU changelog and its installation script and both of them confirm that from March installing SuperSU prevents forced encryption. Also many guides suggest installing it as way for disabling forced encryption. Of course you have to flash SuperSU just after flashing ROM, before booting the system.

That i already knew mate. But i WANT my storage to remain encrypted. And that's the issue with modified TWRP. You can't enter into recovery on that if your storage is encrypted.

Again, "You can't enter into recovery on modified TWRP if your storage is encrypted." So i won't be able to enter into twrp in the first place, let alone flash anything.

In the same boat as you. I have OOS 3.2.8 encrypted, rooted and TWRP 3.0.2-1.26. I too would like to update but have way to much stuff on my phone to back it all up and restore it. Hope you or someone come's up with a solution. I will be following your thread.
Thanks.
Go to twrp. Press backup. Select only data. Save to PC youre backup for safety..
3.2.8 it's Android 6, 4.0 it's Android 7. Some apps might not work from base to base.
If you want to change to F2FS it will format youre phone, wipe phone full internal memory. If you want to change it back to ext4, same.
Clean flash, full wipe it's always better.

My suggestion (and my steps are in #1), install stock recovery, install snap VPN, download the update and install (ignore any errors on root). Once done, you will have Nougat with stock recovery, encryption maintained and all app data also intact.

This is the last resort brother. With this method, unfortunately I won't have any root available. The only way now is to wait for updated twrp.

Well, I tried something, waiting on it to finishing booting and see how it went.
I flashed twrp-3.0.2-1.28-oneplus3p version,
Flashed the OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_035_all_1612310359_e10cadfb2af7.zip inside TWRP,
Flashed SR1-SuperSU-v2.79-SR1-20161221223537.zip right after flashing OTA zip.
Its rebooting and says Android is upgrading. Fingers crossed.
EDIT: Its booted and I am on Nougat, didnt lose my data and phone is still encrypted!
Edit: Ended up having issues with settings app locking up. So, I went a different route and its all working great now.
Downloaded the stock recovery image and renamed it to recovery.img
Make sure after you rename it its not named recovery.img.img, If you have show file extensions enabled on your pc you should already see the file extension.
Rebooted to bootloader - adb flash recovery recovery.img
Using the volume keys and power button selected - reboot recovery.
Now in stock recovery - flashed OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_035_all_1612310359_e10cadfb2af7.zip
After rom is done flashing, went right back into bootloader. Did not let my phone reboot to start the OS.
Renamed twrp-3.0.2-1.28-oneplus3p.img to recovery.img
adb flash recovery recover.img
Powered off phone and Manually boot it into recovery by holding Power + Volume Down button.
Phone booted into TWRP
Flashed SR1-SuperSU-v2.79-SR1-20161221223537.zip
Wiped cache / dalvik
Rebooted system from TWRP and waited. System is really smooth now, no issues yet. Been playing with it for awhile now.
During the booting up process it might take a minute and it will reboot twice. Dont get nervous like I did thinking it was going to start bootlooping. It booted just fine. I read in a nother thread that SuperSU is what causes it to boot twice.
So......Now I have OOS 4.0 Nougat, Rooted, Encrypted and everything seems to be working fine.
LG Joan H933 GLOBAL CANADA 20i ROM
DO NOT USE THIS ZIP FOR CONVERTING YOUR MODIFIED TO US998 PHONE BACK TO H933!
Your phone needs to be on H933 software with TWRP kept via LGUP partition dl mode (leaving recovery partition out when flashing kdz). Have a look at the second post, @cloud1250000 wrote a guide for that with an massive amount of help from @christopherrrg.
Also, there's a Telegram Group Chat available for H933 users only, for sorting out eventually arising problems:
LG V30 H933 Canada
Hi!
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 20i firmware, but the partition table rewriting part and recovery image (beside five to eight other images) 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 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
VoLTE and VoWiFi critical OP partition separate download, flashable via TWRP (Download / MD5: add01810ddb6da99ace26645acfb5d97)
Separate OP Partition download available here
Installation
What you need
Unlocked Bootloader[/URL]
Working TWRP installed [Link to newest unofficial TWRP]
When you need Root, flash latest Magisk afterwards [Download]
The zip!
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 latest 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 20i 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 20i zip, then Magisk zip when you need root, then reboot to System = you're DONE
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.)
Just give a thanks if you like the zip! :good:
@christopherrrg wrote a "little guide" for the peoples, who may ever have thought about going back to h33 original (rooted or not) sw. Give him some thanks pls, he's now a few nerves lost in this procedure i can imagine :good: thanks!
Here it is:
Okay so the steps below are for AFTER using the WTF thread to convert device and unlock bootloader; these steps are for canadian model users who would prefer to go back to stock canadian kdz with working root and twrp intact.
Step 1 - Attach converted US998 (bl unlocked and twrp installed) to LGUP.
Step 2 - PARTITION DL the canadian kdz but do not include recovery.
Step 3 - Let phone boot right from kdz flash and it will automatically boot TWRP.
Step 4 - While in TWRP; 1st factory reset AND AFTER format data then reboot recovery. (If not done TWRP has mount issues with cache and or system.)
Step 5 - After TWRP is rebooted flash no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip + lg-rctd-disabler-1.0.zip and afterwards flash magisk.
Step 6 - While still in TWRP use the option to power device down.
Step 7 - Attach device to PC while holding vol+ and it will automatically start download mode.
Step 8 - PARTITION DL the canadian kdz again EXCEPT uncheck everything BUT stock recovery; let it flash and reboot.
Step 9 - Should reboot 3 - 4 times.
Step 10 - Once booted to setup; get past then activate USB debugging, also open magisk and click yes as many times as it asks you. (Magisk remains because only RECOVERY is flashed at this point)
Step 11 - Download TWRP and rename to just twrp then place it in the root directory of your internal storage.
Step 11 - Connect device to android debug bridge, and start a shell with 'adb shell' command.
Step 12 - then type 'su' and hit enter in order to gain root privilege. (Will have to click accept on super user on device)
Step 13 - then type 'dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery'
If done correctly you should see flashing (almost like fastboot) however you will not have anything happen to your device graphically SO open magisk and click modules then click reboot to recovery and profit!
You should be on H933 kdz with TWRP and root.
However for some weird reason, cloud is correct as the battery drain is abysmal. My phone used to go from 9am 100% to about 60% by the time I get home at 5pm. Today it's gone down to 22% from 100% at 9am and it's only 2pm. @cloud1250000's brain was mostly picked for this so he deserves any and all credit; I just confirmed and wrote this up for reference.
Enjoy!

hey, it's cold out there, what about a chilled-out evening on an open fire and flashing new software on your phone...? a tester is welcome this doesn't brick your phone...
I edited this right out. For my excitement I skipped almost every single thing in the thread and I apologize however I'm willing to test and will report my findings right away!
ok, link follows via pm :good:

LG Joan H933 GLOBAL CANADA 20G ROM
DO NOT USE THIS ZIP FOR MODEL CONVERSIONS!Hi!
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 needs testing first, please hit me a PM for getting the link.
This zip is created from the original KDZ (H93320g_00_OPEN_CA_OP_0910.kdz). It contains almost the complete 20G firmware, but the partition table rewriting part and recovery image (beside five to eight other images) 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 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
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]
The zip!
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 latest 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 20G 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 20G zip, then Magisk zip when you need root, then reboot to System = you're DONE
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.)

Please can you explained me something, you wrote DO NOT USE THIS ZIP FOR MODEL CONVERSIONS!, but we must convert the H933 to US988 in order to install TWRP and root. So now I can install it, go back from US988 to H933 and keep TWRP and root ?
Thanks
so actually; as the above user is mentioning I attempted a partition DL flash of the kdz minus recovery and it constantly boots to recovery after flash (which i'm sure is totally normal as stock will not boot with custom recovery without no verity etc) buuuuut my stupid behind didn't flash those and assumed it would not work so decided to panic and flash the us998 kdz back in order to restore my backup and I think I screwed up my download mode as it now shows download mode for 2 seconds then reboots right into recovery; I believe I may have corrupted my laf partition and am now currently working on getting back to a functioning device; luckily the bootloader is still unlocked and I can still flash things as system and data both mount no problem.
my apologies for the lengthly message but or anyone else who is planning to test please remember if you're flashing back from US998 to H933 not to do as i've done and remember no verity etc so it can at least boot so you can THEN flash this zip here.
after all of that i've still got nothing to report as flashing it seems to look great but because I kdz back to us998 i'm afraid to use this zip until I get a booting phone again; also please dont take this as me flaming or anything. i'm sure i'll fix my device with fastboot soon and shall resume testing.

Yes you must be on a global Canadian kdz that is BEFORE this version.
when you convert back make sure you use partition DL and uncheck recovery; then when you flash canadian kdz and boot up flash dm no verity and the other zip to make stock kdz boot with twrp still intact; then once system boots at least once you reboot into twrp with the master reset combo and then use the zip provided by these gentlemen. ( at least now that my phone is down for the moment this is my theory ) heh:silly:

nope! it remains unlocked.
I did manage to recover my device and my download mode (thanks to Matts amazing WTF guide.)
so give me about an hour or so and i'll retry; just going to take a quick shower.
Edit - had quite a few issues. Can't seem to get TWRP to actually work after doing partition DL all except recovery. (TWRP acts as if there is no system and when I try to boot it just reboots back into recovery.) Almost as if my Canadian device WANTS to stay US998 lol I got some issues to sort but will report back once I figure out how to make twrp flash AFTER full Canadian kdz, not sure if it's possible to flash recovery without fastboot is it?
recovery *would* be flashable with a rooted system and the dd (diskdump) command from within booted android.
so h933 is a device which needs conversion. this zip can then only be used when:
- you converted your h933 to us998 to get the fastboot commands and install twrp etc.
- your phone is then *converted back* to h933 with original h933 kdz, but with keeping twrp via partition dl mode of lgup.
- this way you lose fastboot commands (which normaly shouldn't be needed anymore), but can keep twrp and flash roms.
this method should work. because bootloader remains unlocked and is writable by twrp, even if you are on full h933 firmware, except recovery partition.
looks like we really need to work this out, carefully not that one of you nice testers have a non working phone because of this zip used in the wrong place (with us998 kdz installed) and moment (before full h933 kdz is installed with keeping twrp).
we need to try too, if this zip is installable on a converted to us998 phone and then at least boots as usual, or if sth. gets mixed up then (because it then has mixed partitions, ⅔ of the phones partitions are h933 fw then, and ⅓ is us998 partitions).

I got my phone fully working again and my backup restored. (US998)
So I think what I'm going to attempt today is flashing FULL canadian kdz (fresh stock including recovery) and let it boot then I'm gonna try to dd the recovery to get TWRP access.
And go from there.
I got your PM and will need to pull out my nexus 4 for telegram but will set it up after work today and join you guys.

What actually got me out of the loop was Westwoods stock US998 TWRP ROM zip. I believe it restored my LAF partition and download mode worked no problem in order to use LGUP.
However these issues were of my own accounts; essentially from step 1 this is what the full procedure I assume will be like for us H933 users.
Step 1. Convert H933 to US998 and unlock bootloader using WTF guide.
Step 2. Using LGUP, 'REFURBISH' US998 device back into H933 kdz (accept partition layout changes) [attempted to use partition DL with all partitions minus recovery; however stock system won't boot with custom recovery unless rooted and no decrypt and dm verity flashed before system boots {failed to try this due to panic and forgetfulness so this may work but I'd like to attempt using dd from fresh stock also.}]
Step 3. Attempt dd recovery flash on bootloader unlocked H933 due to missing fastboot etc.
Step 4. Hope for profit? ?
I also apologize to you all for the lengthly posts as well but from all my years here on this website it's reading through the users problems where solutions are generally found so even though I followed wrong directions at first it's up to show everyone how I messed up and can be avoided.

absolutely ok, the more info the better so when one wants to stay stock h933, steps are
step 1: jep
step 2: jep, partition dl with *recovery excluded* to h933 kdz (after unlocking via us998). twrp should be present and bootable after that.
step 3: boot recovery, format data, reboot to recovery, flash opt-encrypt, no verity and make sure, /system/recovery-from-boot.py is deleted or renamed. and eventually flash magisk and then boot to rom, jep.
could imagine that this works, but, i know too little about frankensteined phones. there may be hassles and hiccups. first boot up and test, then trying a restore, in hope it will be succesful :good:

WOW; there it is.
Format Data. Another neglected procedure on my end grrr.
Saves the whole issue of using DD period.
And would explain why TWRP also half worked.
Gonna give it another crack as soon as I'm home. I'll also have telegram set up as to not spam this thread much further.
@cloud1250000 has posted a way to have a rooted canadian ROM https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg...odem-to-converted-us998-t3824769/post77613655 but from his instructions. He said he installed magisk to the canadian system to ensure root in order to use adb shell to install twrp. But I can't for the life of me figure out how he kept magisk but nothing else... so maybe he can help us.
No matter what I do after conversion of US998; H933 will not boot with TWRP on stock unless it's 100% stock. (Even after attempting dm verity, no encrypt and root) by trying your advice and tinkering with a bit of my own. LGUP also still reports the H933 device as a US99820d
Basically if he can help explain how he got magisk on there or I can figure it out then unfortunately at the moment we can't really flash this as we need a working recovery and sadly he's the only Canadian user reported so far having working twrp, root and lte working no problem.
Thing's I've tried so far:
- converted US998 to H933 with PARTITION DL and unchecked RECOVERY; recovery sticks however after formatting data then rebooting into recovery I then remove /system/recovery-bak (may have spelt that wrong but you get what I mean) I try flashing no encrypt and dm verity then flash root everything works (no red error messages of any kind) Boots back to recovery.
- converted US998 to H933 with PARTITION DL and made sure ALL checkboxes were checked. Phone booted but obviously no working recovery and no (at the current moment) known method of rooting without fastboot commands.
So sadly until we figure that I think we're stuck. ?
Will PM you my telegram info in the next few minutes.
So...
I have no clue why but when going back to the h933 from the us998... There's an extra partition called OP where, I assume, information about the carriers/modem can be found.
You should be aware that in canada now... there's no carrier locked phone anymore... so my guess is... this OP partition is configured on the first boot by looking at the sim that was inserted in the phone.
The problem.
TWRP doesn't have the command to setup the OP partition correctly and the phone do send this command to the recovery on first boot..
(found by looking at recovery log)
So what I did was...
1. Keep TWRP and use LGUP to go back to H933.
2. Boot into twrp and flash all needed zip (root + the other 2)
3. Flash the stock recovery and allow the phone to setup the OP partition correctly upon reboot (there will be a weird circle with "erasing" text on the screen)
4. Boot in the phone and launch the magisk app. Say yes a bunch of time.
5. Use a rooted adb shell to flash back twrp.
6. Profit/Enjoy
In my original guide, I did flash a bunch of partition that I got from a working h933.. so maybe it's missing some steps in order to work.

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

Awesome. Woke up this morning to the system update notification. Glad there are still T-Mobile users around here that works to get this stuff out. Downloading now. Will report back after I flash it.

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

LG V30 VS996-30c ROMHi!
This Rom is 99% Stock. 3.2.3-7 TWRP should first be installed. Then you can install this Rom and have Pie with working TWRP.
WARNINGS!!!!!
Only for North American variants -- EXCEPT T-mobile H932. NOT for H930, H930G, H930D, H930DS!
This zip is created from the original KDZ. It contains almost the complete 30c 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 is 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 (only 2 extra lines added for DTS, full weather lockscreen)
Unrooted
System image 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
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]
LATEST ZIP
john-fawkes.com VS99630c.zip [Click to Download]
OLDER ZIPS
AFH ZIPS [Download]
John-fawkes.com [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 30b 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 occur, maybe you need to do a factory reset to start fresh*
Flash the 30c 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: 9.0 Pie
Android security patch level: 2019-09-1

General question for those who might know: is there any advantage (like Volte) for using stock vs996 on a Verizon network? I've got an open market us998 with a vs996 kernel.

yea if your using verizon then its better to use the vs996 rom as you'll get verzion features such as vowifi volte and the verizon apps if you use any. im on ls998 on sprints network and when i flash the us998 rom i get no volte vowifi and i cant even get lte. it only stays at 3g
My service provider is straight talk and I'm on Verizon towers. I've noticed that I get faster data speeds if I use a Verizon ROM. I'm currently on the us998 ROM 9.0 pie. My data speeds are a little faster since I've updated from 8.0 but it's still not quite as fast as the Verizon ROM. So once you make this Verizon zip available I'll probably install it. Thanks @JohnFawkes
I'm on Total Wireless (VZ towers also)... I also recommend VS996 so that VOLTE and VOWIFI work properly. Not, previously, you could not disable/uninstall MyVerizon, otherwise these features would not work, so be aware of that. I don't know if we still need to do that with this version (someone could test).
I'm getting a, 404 file not found notice when I try to download. No rush.
Thanks for all your hard work.

You must see some of the recent posts asking about WTF instructions.
After telling the one guy to please read the WTF instructions, he kept asking me questions clearly detailed in steps in the instructions.
"Does 3.2.3.7 TWRP work with this early Oreo KDZ?"
If the answer was no, I wouldn't list them together in necessary files to download, would I?
"Please give me link to download that KDZ"
It's IN the WTF instructions!
"Please give me link to the instructions."
OK, you're just trolling me now. He asked most of these questions IN the WTF thread.
____
NOW he says he's unlocked the bootloader and rooted, and wants to upgrade to Pie. I gave him link to Pie KDZ thread for his variant (which also has TWRP-flashable zip) and I've just ignored all follow-up questions, because again he's asking stuff I've written about in detail...
I'm not going to re-write everything because someone wants a "personalized" answer to some already-documented process hundreds of people have successfully completed just, following the written instructions...
I know, i see all the time. I don't know how you can be so patient with some of them.
By the way, thanks again for all your help. Both here and back in the Droid Turbo days.

@JohnFawkes
Thank you so much for all your hard work. It's so much easier to have a TWRP zip to flash.
Really appreciate it.
booting up process is very slow. 5 minutes now and still on verizon logo/4 dots loading. Maybe i did something wrong.......i'll give it a little more time before i restore my backup. I flashed from us998 pie, it did the same thing. So i flashed vs996 oreo then fully booted up, then clean flashed this ROM, rebooted, and it seems to be stuck. Any ideas on where i went wrong?

I have the same problem. Probably have to KDZ to VS996-30c REFURBISHED (or PARTITION-DL and select all PARTITIONS) to reset the partitions for VS996-30C (from US998-30B)

Has anyone successfully dirty flashed the 30C ZIP over their 20K Oreo? Would rather not try until others verify there aren't problems with this.
So today with some testers i managed to make root on OnePlus 7T, I want to specify that 95% of the work was done by @topjohnwu (Magisk creator). For now you should use only Magisk Canary files
I will explain 2 different guides:
First Root Guide:
This guide is for a specific rom version, so you will need to use a specific patched boot.img
- Download the patched_boot.img
- Reboot your device in bootloader-fastboot mode
- Flash the patched_boot.img in the boot partition:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
replace "boot.img" with the patched_boot.img path
- Reboot the device
- Install Magisk Manager
Second Root Guide:
This guide is more generic than the first one, you should use this one if you are unable to find a specific patched boot.img
- Download a patched_boot.img (you should try with the latest one)
- Reboot your device in bootloader-fastboot mode
- Boot the patched_boot.img:
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
replace "boot.img" with the patched_boot.img path
- Reboot the device
- Install Magisk Manager
- Click on Install, then direct install and wait the end of the process
- Reboot the device
Third Root Guide:
Guide by @gpz1100
TIPS:
Actually you should use only Magisk canary files Magisk 20.3
You can get the stock boot images from the fastboot rom: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-7t-t3979213
Actually i'm using magisk manager canary and magisk canary debug to patch the boot.img, I don't recommend updating magisk, if you don't want to see the updates install the normal magisk manager
Magisk 20.3 fully support OnePlus 7T and 7T Pro
HOW TO UPDATE a ROM and KEEP ROOT:
Before all Disable all magisk modules
Be sure to use Canary Magisk Manager and Canary Magisk (debug)
You can update a stock rom from phone settings with local upgrade:
- Update the Rom WITHOUT REBOOT;
- Open Magisk Manager;
- In Magisk Manager, click on Install/Install/Direct Install;
- Again in Magisk Manager, click on Install/Install/Inactive Slot;
- Reboot.

I am on 10.0.3 begin so i should flash the magisk patched boot image of this version, is that correct? With what should i flash, sdk tools or any other specific tool? Is there any portable adb toolkit and do i need to copy the not image in the same folder as adb?
Edit : I tried but the device was locked so unlocked it after finding instructions on xda. Never knew it would wipe everything including internal storage also
Need to install everything again and have lost data of last few days. But I got root so that's the only consolation. Also a lesson never to make unnecessary haste. But it's fine. Won't repeat the mistake again.

See OP, its clearly mentioned there. You have to flash this via fastboot and not any custom recovery. Firstly setup adb on your PC and then check the commands. Its very easy. Do some googling and still if its difficult for you, come back and ask.

Welcome to the android scene, reminds me of the old psx scene
I installed some rogue module, that was not supposed to be installed on OP 7T. Due to this, now I am not able to boot into patched boot. I had to re-flash my stock boot.img to boot into my phone. Can you please help? I want to uninstall that particular module thats all. Tried doing something with your TWRP, but it wont show my system or storage at all.
@mauronofrio, thanks so much for this. I had some queries :
1) Is the internal storage always wiped when bootloader is unlocked or did I do something wrong?
2) I have switched off auto-download of updates and also disabled automatic system updates in Developer settings. Is this correct? How to proceed when an update is available in future?
3) Will TWRP be developed or is it not useful for OP7T?

Get your stock boot.img from 1st post.
Reboot to bootloader.
And do this command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
Device will boot unrooted.

1. Yes, always wipe
2. Just update as usual, let update go, after installation complete, don't reboot device. Go to magisk, install, install on inactive slot. Reboot. You will be rooted (Warning : this is not tested on 7T, this method from 7)
3. TWRP will be developed but some good dev like @mauronofrio need device for this, as of now, no hopes for twrp. We are lucky that we got root.

Thanks. Yes, root is good enough right now.
By "update as usual", do you mean through OTA? I think the phone reboots after update is downloaded and then installs the update but not sure. So once it reboots after updating, should I go to Magisk and install root?
Should I keep Magisk update channel to Canary or Canary(Debug)? It's already showing an update as available. Should I update it?

In older devices like OP5T it happens like this, not in newer devices. OP7T has seamless updates, its installs while device is turned on in second partition.

So, modules are saved in /data , the only way to remove them without root actually is wiping data, if you can't now, you can just flash the stock boot.img because without root the modules can't work. Usually you can remove all magisk stuff using magisk uninstaller.

Help please. I have returned to Android after 5years with OnePlus 7t and trying to root it. I am trying this method but not being able to successfully root it. Steps I have tried
Went to fastboot mode by restarting the phone but I don't get an option to install the patched image file. And even boatloader is locked. Do I need to unlock the bootloader. And I unlock will I loose my data. Sorry for silly question I have completely forgot about Android.
Thanks, rooted successfully
?
To be honest need video tutorial asap?
