Bootloop and stuck on LG logo - LG G6 Questions and Answers

I was on 10T official. I decided to unlock bootloader, I followed the guide, I my storage was unencrypted...
I have unlocked bootloader and then installed TWRP 3.1.1.
After a boot, I have installed a Stock modified ROM (Fulmics ROM 2.0).
After reboot, the phone is stuck on LG logo, and after minutes it reboots and stucks on LG logo and the reboot...... etc etc
Entering TWRP again, it says my Data is encrypted and asks me for the password.
I have formatted Data, and reinstalled Fulmics ROM, but, same problem. Stuck on LG logo. Now entering TWRP there is no partition encrypted... but...
What should I do now?

Reinstall stock using LGUP

Restore the official firmware with LGup, install again the TWRP, make a format data (format, not wipe), install whatever you want to get twrp stuck (SuperSU, magisk ECC...), Reboot system, then reboot in twrp, manually or by a rebooter app, wipe system, data, cache and dalvik, install fulmics with your favourite aroma settings, after that reboot recovery, flash the 2.1 ota, and reboot system.
Now wait some minutes, it'll reboot again once, it's normal, when happens just wait again for some minutes, and it should boot normally.
I've installed this rom a bunch of times (for a bunch of reasons) and never had Bootloop problems doing this.
Good luck:good:

Thanks, stock firmware like this one? https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g6/development/rom-h870-10f-rom-imgs-kdz-t3615183
And in LGUP should I do anything particular? Or just reinstall kdz?
Then, should I format only Data partition or also system or others?

You can decrypt data through fastboot

Here it is the kdz: https://lg-firmwares.com/download-file/?fileId=10110
Just reinstall the kdz with upgrade option.
You have only to format data (not wipe, remember).

Thanks, worked!

Mmm... No, I was able to reinstall stock rom, but then, when I try to format Data I get error like "Failed to unmount /system (Device or resource busy)" and then "Failed to mount /data", "Unable to recreate /data/media folder...
And also when I install Magisk I have those errors... (Failed to mount system and data).
Booting up, stock rom is ok, and also Magisk, so phone is rooted.
But when I reboot to recovery and I install fulmics rom, it seems to install correctly, it shows a final error of mount system and when I boot I still have stock rom, without Magisk or fulmics settings... so It is not installed fulmics rom! Tomorrow I will try another time. By now I keep stock rom rooted. Anyway I'm happy to see how easy is to reinstall stock rom.

Try to download twrp from the official twrp post. There are some problems with twrp /system mount. Then format data and install magisk the first time.

I downloaded the official one from twrp.me version 3.1.1.0 2017-06-30. Is there any new beta/modded twrp to install?

In my case the official twrp from twrp.me had the problem of unable to mount system. I read all the twrp Guide from LG G6 in rom, recovery root section and I read that had some problems and they posted an usefull twrp. Try downloading twrp from these post.

I've installed experimental TWRP over official TWRP posted here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73071238&postcount=228 and works, no more mount error.
Now I have installed Fulmics rom. I'm happy!
Thanks to all

[Q] LG G2 D802 TWRP Loop, LG FLASH TOOL did not work

Here I have an issue with LG G2 D802- please help.
i guess my system partitions and other system images and files are deleted. I am currently stuck in TWRP loop. how ever i can go to download mode. I have already tried LG FLASH TOOL to flash .tot file but every time the process starts, it skips flashing all those partitions and system files. The whole process completes in less than a minute and again my ph boots into TWRP.
I tried ADB SIDELOAD to install custom rom in TWRP too, the installation process all goes well and after installation when the system reboots, to my bad luck it again goes to TWRP.
I tried flashing cloudy G3 ROM using OTG, the ROM Installation process all goes well but after installation completes and phones reboots, instead of normal boot, it again goes to TWRP.
What options do i have left now? I have yet to try .KDZ method though. Please help...
Try wiping everything through TWRP apart from the Internal Storage (cache, data, system, data), then flashing the ROM along with the kitkat baseband zip if you have it.
If it doesn't boot properly, then try the KDZ method.

Flashed Rom and KITKAT baseband already... NO LUCK... Need to try KDZ method now (File is downloading)...
.TOT method didnot work though .
I guess my system partitions and other partitions got corrupted or damaged, so FLASH TOOL just skips all those partitions flashing. Can anyone let me know how to fix those, if that is reason what my PH is currently going through????????

Cannot update to 4.5.14

Hi,
I have a rooted OP5 with 4.5.13.
I tried to install the flashable zip (from here) via TWRP without wipe, but ended up in a bootloop.
I've restored to the nandroid backup, wiped data, and tried again. This time the OP5 managed to boot only to recovery.
I've verified the md5 of the file I've used.
Do you know why this is happening? Do you know how I can upgrade to 4.5.14?
Thanks.
Did you download the full ROM or just the update?
I tried both. I didn't succeeded to install the update (as it is not intended for rooted devices).
The full rom is what caused the bootloop.
If you are doing a dirty flash you wipe cache and system. If you are doing a clean flash you wipe cache, system and data. It doesn't sound like you wiped the correct partitions when doing your flash. You also need to flash Magisk or SU after the ROM flash and before booting up or you will lose TWRP and root. If your phone is decrypted for some reason you also need to flash a no verify zip or your phone will boot loop because OOS is made for encrypted phones.

TWRP unable to decrypt internal storage and adb sideload "cannot read file"

Hey guys, this all started when I tried to lock my bootloader to do the oreo update... Long story short, I'm left with an empty system partition and when I boot into TWRP (https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...overy-twrp-3-2-1-0-oreo-oxygenos-5-0-t3725723), all I see is a bunch of gibberish file names. I've tried wiping data and rebooting into TWRP (I heard that wiping the data partition will decrypt your storage), but that doesn't work. I've also tried to adb sideload oxygenOS 4.5.14 using both TWRP and the stock recovery-- On TWRP I get the error "cannot read [filename]", and on the stock recovery, my PC doesn't recognize my phone. Is there any solution to this?
Flash with OTG?
PS: Formatting removes encryption.
I also got the same problem as u, what i did is install the twrp 3.2.1 by codeworkx, then factory reset via the twrp menu, then sideload the oos ob3, and install the zip file. And it should work perfectly

Can't mount system as writable in TWRP (device or resource busy)

Hi everyone,
Just got my new G6, after much pain I managed to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP (v3.2.1.0) and to root it with SuperSU (stable release 2.82).
For now I'll keep the stock rom but I wanted to make a backup in case something went wrong with other tweaking I might do and I couldn't because TWRP couldn't "mount /system (device or resource busy)".
So I went into the mount menu and tried checking system but it just won't. I can mount it as read only but I can't mount it as writable.
If it's of any importance, I couldn't get magisk to install to root the phone and had to use SuperSU instead.
I could do the backup while mounting system as read only but I feel like it might be an issue in the future (for custom roms or even restoring the backup maybe ?) if I can't fix this issue.
So does anyone how to get TWRP to mount system as writable ? Thank you

Have you formatted data trough the dedicated option in TWRP? Format, not wipe, where you have to put "yes".
Anyway you can try with Melina's TWRP which solves many problems of the official one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g6/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-unofficial-fixes-t3722199

I did try it once after the magisk install failed and I assumed it was because of that issue but I haven't tried yet with superSU correctly installed. Should I immediately try the backup after formatting or boot the phone once before ?
The issue I have with Melina's TWRP is that it's not compatible with fulmics and if I were to install any custom rom I think it would be that one (to keep stock camera mostly)

Format data, reboot recovery, and try to install magisk or mount system.
For Melina's TWRP it has NO problems with Fulmics, Zefie said that "officially" is not compatible because two users said that they have problems with that TWRP only with fulmics, i can assure you that with last version of both Melina's TWRP and Fulmics i never had problems like those two users, anyway you can try to use Melina's TWRP and if you have any problems just flash back the official twrp.

Alright so it's been a rough ride.
I formatted data, reboot TWRP and then indeed I was able to mount system as writable.
I then did my backup, which said it was successful and the only error it showed then was "unable to unmount /system"
I flashed magisk and rebooted into the normal system and the phone of course was back to factory settings and asked me my google account. Except that when I tried logging in it always showed me an error along the lines of "google play services keeps crashing". (making it impossible to get through the installation part of the system)
I'm not sure why that happened. I had frozen some apps but that shouldn't have been saved since I formatted data right ? and the phone was working perfectly fine before that.
But anyway I didn't really know what to do at that point so I just jumped the gun and downloaded and flashed fulmics.
It worked fine but only with supersu. For some reason magisk just doesn't want to get installed at all.
The rom itself worked fine but I had no root access by choosing magisk in the aroma installer so I wiped again and installed it again with supersu which works.
I also flashed xposed which is also working as intended.
So I'm all set for now I think.
Maybe when I need to wipe again I'll figure out why magisk doesn't work but for now I'm satisfied.
In any case, thank you for your help

Encryption Password not working

Hey, so I can't decrypt my device anymore. Not in Android itself, and not in the recovery. I've tried sideloading no_verity.zip and formatting the system via fastboot, so far nothing helped. When I try to flash the stock rom via sideload, it says it's not readable. I don't know if thats because I didn't decrypt the device before flashing or because the zip is faulty, but I've tried 3 diffrent roms, including one that has worked before.
Is there anything I can do to get my phone working again?
Device: Onepluss 5 6GB
Rom: Omnirom
Install latest codeworkx twrp or blue spark twrp, skip password menu, format data (not wipe), reboot recovery, now wipe everything, then flash what you want
