How To Return To Stock (From Lineage) And Lock Bootloader - LG Stylo 2 Plus Questions & Answers

How do I return to stock and lock the bootloader? I installed TWRP through ADB; I never touched LG Bridge. Currently running TWRP and LineageOS 14.1. How do I boot back into TWRP, if need be?

I had to do this because I borked my device after installing lineage. Here's my method:
1. Download stock kdz from lg-firmwares.com
2. Download uppercut
3. Download lg up (not sure if it's necessary but I did it anyway)
4. Install uppercut and lg up
5. Put phone into fastboot mode by holding the vol down button and connecting the usb cable while phone is off.
6. Run a command prompt from wherever you have fastboot installed.
7. Type the following: fastboot oem lock
8. When the command prompt says done, disconnect the phone and pull the battery
9. Reconnect the battery then hold the vol up button while connecting the usb cable to put phone in download mode.
10. Run uppercut and allow it access when the UAC pops up on your pc
11. Select the upgrade radio button in the middle of the screen
12. Click the 3 dots on the big space on the line next to the bin option and select the kdz file you downloaded then click start and just let it run it's course.
It took about 5 mins for everything to flash and when the phone rebooted, I was back on stock 7.0 with all the latest security stuff. I would recommend downloading the latest stock which is at the bottom of the list on the firmware site or you will have to sit through a few OTAs after the phone reboots. I'm not at home right now but when I do, I'll load everything necessary to my google drive and post the link if you have any issues find all the files.

Nice
Man i was lost, because everytime i want to flash the stock rom the download mode moves to TWRP for the 64 bits version (last linege romfor lg stylo2plus) i will try your way.

LG K20 plus, how to flash original rom

I have a LG K20 plus with t mobile as the carrier. I believe the model should be TP260. I mistakenly restored a twrp backup from a metro pcs phone that I got from this site coincidentally. Now my phone drops calls and data frequently and shows metro pcs on bootup vs tmobile. I have a kdz file but it won't flash because it now also thinks the model is MP260...not TP260 and says it's a mismatch. Any ideas on how I can get a restore for tmobile to try to reset the phone?
Just bumping
i could use a restore too. I installed super SU root and lost access to android pay. I wasnt to try that magisk root
I restored mine with the linked files.
install LG driver (uninstall any other drivers first)
install LGUP
remove battery from phone and replace
hold volume up key
insert USB while holding down volume up key
phone will boot to download mode
drivers will find phone
run UPPERCUT.exe
UPPERCUT.exe will launch LGUP with phone connected. if phone is not connected try again.
in LGUP lower window browse to TP26010k_00_0316.kdz
choose UPGRADE option in LGUP
click START in LGUP
factory ROM and Recovery will be installed, bootloader will still be unlocked

magisk can be installed using the same method as superSU. Mine is working along with AndroidPay

You were able to install TWRP after this process with the TP26010k_00_0316.kdz?
I am on TP26010E and don't want to upgrade to TP26010k if TWRP cannot be flashed as it has been stated here.
Yeah, you have to perform OEM unlock again, but I have been able to flash TWRP after flashing the previously attached .kdz with the LGUP tool

Can I install this kdz from twrp and install supersu?
no, you have to use LGUP tool. This is a LG image that will flash everything including your recovery partition, and not a flashable ROM image.
You flash root through TWRP, you use LGUP for kdz as the user above said rom flashing and kdz flashing are two different things
See this post which reflects the new kdz available https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73690098&postcount=3
Just a Heads up there is a new version out, as of 9/01/17
MP26010r_00_0817.kdz

I flashed the modded ROM for MetroPCS, and couldn't flash kdz file because my phone was identified as MP260, instead of TP260.
I wiped the phone and re-locked the bootloader, and the phone would only boot into download mode, It gave a message about it being corrupted.
I took it back to TMO, and the sales people thought it was a virus, and replaced the device.
I've made a TWRP backup for anyone who runs into the same problem. This will fix your problem, so you can use the flash tools available for this device.
NOTE: I also provided Root tools and instructions for those Rooting for the first time.
1. Power off device, plug into computer, then hold volume up for download mode and let COM drivers install, you may need to change COM port to 41, through device manager.
2. In LGUP, choose upgrade or FOTA upgrade.
2. Once you flash firmware, you'll have to hit reset once or twice to get rid of the encryption failure notification.
3. Enjoy rooting your device again if you so choose.
ROOTING:
NOTE: Must have ADB & Fastboot setup already.
First you must unlock your bootloader.
1. In about phone settings, tap build number 6x to get developer settings, enable adb debugging and OEM unlock. Now plug into your computer.
2. Boot into Fastboot mode.
A. Open command prompt and type: adb reboot-bootloader.
B. Next type: fastboot oem unlock.
WARNING: You'll be prompted to factory reset device to protect your data. Your chance to turn back, if your brave then continue. Your device will factory reset, and you'll have to perform the first step again and you'll be ready to root.
1. To flash TWRP, plug into computer, then in command line navigate to where you have your recovery.img
A. adb reboot-bootloader
B. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
2. Pull battery and manually boot into recovery,
A. volume+down as soon as you see LG, release then press again quickly and hold, follow the steps provided.
3. Hit cancel for the encryption notice, and swipe to modify system.
4. You must format device to get rid of encryption message, so choose format and it will ask you to type, yes.
5. Stay in recovery and flash the no-encryption.zip, and Magisk, if you choose to use it for your SU manager. Stay in recovery.
6. Reboot into recovery, and then set up your TWRP environment.
7. Enjoy Root:laugh:
NOTE: If you decide to root again, try using Magisk for SU management. Magisk's mods are excellent, and can run along side Xposed. If you choose Magisk, do not flash SuperUser.zip

You could probably flash the TWRP back up. After that your device would be Identified as TP260, by the flash tools and you'd end up with the same issue I had, when you decided to go back to stock, so make a TWRP backup on external memory. The KDZ file most likely won't flash because it performs a DLL check, to match device with firmware.

I've got backup after unlock Bootloader and before root. Pretty sure it's got recovery on it. I always make a backup asap. It's the mp26010t (I had the November patch but some reason after root it says Oct).
Is that what you need?

I have a Metro LG K20 Plus phone and want to change the firmware to T-Mobile. I have not been successful doing this as I always get invalid firmware, because LG UP recognizes the phone as a metro phone. Is there a way to succeed in getting the T-Mobile firmware on the phone?
thanks in advance.

lgup recognizes my model correctly as lg-tp260 on [com41] but it just sits there initializing for eternity. With my model highlighted I select it and I keep getting the error "LGUP cant load the model [C:\Program Files(x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\com. I have installed lg air drive, lg bridge, lgup8994.dll, lgup for store. I desperately need to get this thing back to stock, I have the AICP rom installed but I dont like it. it was a mistake, if anyone can help I would appreciate it.

Revert to Stock ROM from Lineage 15.1 - Newbie

Hi guys, bit of a newbie here but picked up a used Nexus 10 which has Lineage 15.1 (Oreo) installed on it. The device has TWRP custom recovery as well as the official TWRP app on it and the bootloader is unlocked. I can't see SuperSu or any other root app however, it does appear to be rooted since I am able to access root files using a root explorer. I have done a Nandroid backup on TWRP.
I'd like to revert to the Lolipop stock rom which I have downloaded. I understand that I need to flash the ROM via pc using ADB and the batch file included in the ROM. Is there anything else I need to do? If someone could do a step by step description of the process that would be great.
I also understand that I will no longer be rooted and TWRP will be replaced by Stock recovery. If this is the case what would I do if the flashing fails since I think I would no longer have the TWRP recovery to fall back on? Thanks
its ok sorted it with the nrt
Flash stock firmware Nexus 10
You may easily fix this using the stock Google Android Factory Image.
Step-1: Download the latest Android Factory Image file for Nexus 10 from google site.
Step-2: Extract (Unzip) the content from the downloaded file and save it in a folder on the computer.
Step-3: Download USB drivers from google
Step-4: Boot the tablet into Fastboot mode. For this press and hold Volume Down and Power buttons together. Release all the buttons when the Fastboot screen appears. You should see the Start option listed in the upper part of the screen.
Step-5: Connect the Nexus 10 to the computer using USB cable.
Step-6: Navigate to the Factory image folder created in Step 2.
For Windows: double click flash-all.bat file.
For Mac or, LINUX users launch flash-all.sh file
Step-7: Wait for some time until the installation is completed
Step-8: When the installation process is completed, press Volume Up until the Start next in the Fastboot Mode changes to Recovery mode then press Power button to boot into Recovery.
Step-9: Select wipe data/factory reset and confirm the process
Step-10: When the Factory Reset is completed, select reboot system now and wait until the Nexus 10 boots into stock Android
Had the same idea for my n10.
Reverted back to stock with this instructions
https://developers.google.com/android/images
the one above misses the adb-part
and the fastboot-batch etc. has to be in the same directory as the ADB
hope that helps to bring other N10 back to life quite easy
LOS didnt work out stable, i guess stock should fix that

[GUIDE] How to root, install TWRP, ROMs and mods on a G3s/G3 beat d722 in 2020?

*After I wrote this whole thing as a DM i figured it might be helpful for a couple of people that are struggeling to root and install a custom recovery on their d722.*
Before we start you will need a PC with internet connection and a USB cable.
If you get stuck or need something about the device you can find it here. It's an XDA thread about the d722, it's mods, roms... : https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/lg-g3s-beat-d722-thread-t3110048
First you will need to flash your phone back to 4.4 kitkat firmware to ensure maximum compatibility (this is the only way my device would root) ( find it here: https://lg-firmwares.com/ (type in your model and download a 4.4 firmware closet to your region, language...)). We will do that with the lg flash tool (find it here: https://lgflash.com/download/) + also install lg drivers if you don't have them already (https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-mobile-drivers-and-software-CT10000027-20150179827560).
1. First enable developer options in phone settings by tapping the build number 7 times. Go to the developer options and there tick usb debugging. Than you want to turn you device off. Hold volume up and plug it into you computer. You will get into download mode. On your PC extract and open the lg flash tool. There you will chose your kdz firmware file you downloaded previously and click normal fash. Choose other instead of korean and your preferred language. When you flash it the tool might report an error but just ignore it and wait for the phone to reach 100% download. It will reboot itself when finished. After that you can close the flash tool and continue to the next step.
2. Now you will root your phone. You will do that with lg one click root (found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951). Download the latest GUI version, install it onto your PC and open it. When your redy plug your phone into the computer (turned on no apps open) and click start. Wait for it to be done. It's normal for it to restart a few times.
3. Now we will instal the custom recovery to be able to flash ROMs. To do that you will need to dowbload this zip file from here and extract it with 7zip (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61220755&postcount=100) and install ADB (remeber install folder) (from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979). Paste aboot file into /sdcard folder (or folder of choice with adjusted path in command) ob your phone uding file manager. Than open CMD and type in
cd *path of your folder*
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/aboot.bin of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot
If you get an error that says there is no aboot file or something similar than you nees to change this command : dd if= *your phones path*/aboot.bin of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot For me it was : dd if=/external_SD/aboot.bin of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot
4. This should have installed a basic version of TWRP on your phone ane booted into twrp recovery but we will be updating it.
To get into recovery from off state hold volume down + power button until you see the LG logo. Relese both for a split second and hold both down again (volume down + power) until you see an option to factory reset (wont actualy reset anything if you did all steps correctly). Click yes and yes again by using volume and power buttons and you will be booted to TWRP.
Alternative is to go to playstore and download root app that boots you to recovery if you do it often.
This version is quite old and not capable of flashing newer ROMs so we will be flashing an updated version (download it here: https://vasy.ru/TWRP/jagnm/ and rename it to .img if it isnt named like that alredy). Easiest way is to download it to your PC and transfer it via USB if your PC detects the phone while in TWRP. If not boot it up transfer the files and boot back to recovery. Now just flash the .img file and reboot.
5. At this point you have root privilages (super SU) and a custom recovery. Now all theres left to do is to flash ROMs and mods.
You boot to TWRP recovery, connect your phone to the PC and transfer the .zip files you want to flash. Tha you click flash in twrp chose your ROM files and click add more, your GAPPS click add more and the mod (if you want to try it of course). Than you flash them, wair for it to finish and click reboot.
If it takes longer than 15 min+ than you probaboy have a bootloop. To fix it take out the battery put it back in and boot into recovery (volume down + power until LG logo pops up, release for half a second hold again, yes and yes). Try factory reseting (type yes). And than just flash the ROM and boot. If it boots go back to recovery and flash GAPPS and mod and it should normaly boot into android.
If nothing fixes your issue you can alway use the firmware and lgflashtool to go back to default unrooted kitkat or lolipop.
My recomendations:
I personaly use this liniage (14.1) 7.1 ROM as it's still getting updates (I also tried 8.1 but it's buggy, laggy and gapps don't work):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/cyanogenmod-14-1-lg-g3s-t3508224
And of course you want google apps to go along with it:
https://opengapps.org/ (pick ARM, android version of ROM (7.1 in this case) and how many preinstalled apps (I use nano))
I also have this mod installed which makes colours of your display a bit better:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/6z9yg1d3gooyz37/Sony_Bravia_3.zip
From here you can also get Exposed framework, root apps like LSpeed to speed up your phone even more, greenfy and amplify to improve battery life. Again every mod for this phone along with overclocking and other mods is or was discussed here at one point so dont be afraid to join the conversation in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/lg-g3s-beat-d722-thread-t3110048
And ofcourse google is your friend if you get into any issues. Hope this helps, typed it on my G3s .
Thanks

It would be better for our phone to release an android 9 custom, it would be great. Here is the same phone as our processor and video accelerator. Android 9 would work great on our phone https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=633150&view=findpost&p=36961339
Thanks for the guide!
I bought a G3s D722 cheap off ebay to experiment with. I tried to flash four different kitkat roms many times on 2 computers and each time the phone went into boot loop (start tune and logo over and over) so I flashed the first UK Lollipop on the list and all went fine, there are not UK kitkat roms in the link.
The UK kitkat roms must be different is all I can determine anyone know where I can get one?
The preflash OS was V20e-EUR-XX and now its V20d
Any thoughts or suggestions anyone?
Thanks!
I couldn't get this to work so tried the very easy no PC method in the link and it works great!

Nokia 6.1 plus Stuck on TWRP Splash screen. PLEASE HELP!!

Hello everyone,
I have recently unlocked the bootloader on my Nokia 6.1 plus, and rooted it. I then went ahead and installed TWRP ( App install method - found in the twrp website ). However after I rebooted my phone has been stuck on the TWRP splash screen , I Tried going to download mode , and that just got me back to the twrp splash screen. I turned off the phone and powered it on again , same result . Whatever I do it just keeps going back to the TWRP splash screen .. What is even worse is that my device can not be recognized by my pc while stuck on the splash screen , thus I can not use ADB or Fastboot ...
I am feeling really hopeless and stuck , Help would be much appreciated!! Thanks
Now, dissemble the device and enter edl mode

You shouldn't have installed TWRP on a A/B device let alone install it via the app. It's okay, We're here to help.
If you have OSTLA in your PC, Just open it up and load all files and select to flash the stock ROM. Select Normal Download/Erase User Data options and if the option to Chech AP status is enabled, Disable it. Select on start or the option to flash stock ROM.
Power off your phone completely. If you can't, Then press the volume+ button and power button. Once the screen goes off, Immediately connect phone to PC.
Phone should now reboot into download mode and stock rom should start flashing. Then it's just a matter of waiting for it to flash and reboot.

I am wondering now how I will do the thing i wanted from the start which is to flash a kernel if i shouldn't use twrp?

So to my understanding what you want to achieve is flash a custom kernel on stock rom. And after you messed up your stock recovery by installing twrp, if you have flashed stock rom using ostla then follow these steps.
First without tampering anything finish an ongoing/pending ota/sp update cause after you install custom kernel you phone won't be able to install OTAs. The last sp is of june so install that.
Now coming to installing the kernel-
*Place your twrp and kernel zip file into your adb folder*
1. Setup usb debugging and connect your device normally to your pc, check if the device is communicating with pc type in "adb devices" and allow on your phone for authorisation.
It should reply with your serial on cmd window.
2. Type in "adb reboot bootloader" that should put your device in download mode.
3. Type in "fastboot boot twrp.img" (replace twrp.img with whatever your twrp image file name is)
4. Go to advanced and select adb sideload, swipe to start.
5. Now move to your cmd window and type in "adb sideload kernel.zip" (replace kernel.zip with whatever your kernel zip file name is)
Wait for the process to finish
Now press home go to wipe>advanced wipe select dalvik cache and swipe to wipe
again press home and select reboot, select system
Now final important step
6. don't swipe, select "do not install twrp"

This might sound like a stupid question but I am a major newbie when it comes to this,
Right now i managed to compile a custom kernel and I have a boot image along with the kernel, so to get the kernel.zip do I just zip up all these files? also I read that I could simply flash the image by rebooting to my bootloader and then using " fastboot flash boot boot.img " would this work , and if so does this mean i don't need twrp...
Thanks again for the help , it is much appreciated

If you just want to flash your custom kernel there's no need to flash a boot.img if you've a running rom installed. You can flash the kernel.zip it via twrp or adb sideload via twrp.
Sorry for the late reply, if you have a bootloader-unlocked 6.1 Plus you should join Nokia 6.1 Plus community on telegram you'll get much faster response from the community regarding your device ?

At my wits end

So I'm trying to get Magisk installed on my bootloader/OEM Unlocked S10+ (SM-G975F beyond2lte) device.
I can do that fine by downloading the latest official firmware for my device, installing that (BL/AP/CP/CSC) through Odin v3.14.
That installs fine.
Then I sideload Magisk v23.0, and the AP file I just flashed via Odin over adb via push.
I install Magisk, recovery-patch the AP file, usd adb to pull the file back over onto my desktop. I restart the phone in download mode and once again populate Odin with the BL/AP/CP/CSC files, but this time the AP file is the one I got from Magisk.
Start that, let Odin restart my phone whilst I'm holding Bixby/Power-Up/Power, I release those three once the bootloader warning message comes up.
I set the phone up like normal, but there's the issue - my 128GB device only reads as having 32GB - I can setup Magisk fine, it asks me to download an extra bit, then auto-restarts the phone after 5 seconds.
Yay, I have root! Boo, I'm missing 96GB of free space...
I've read that installing TWRP can help fix this, fair enough, I try to install TWRP (I've tried through both the "dd" method via adb shell, and patching the twrp 3.5.2_9-3 via Magisk, and installing with vbmeta over Odin), but that then eliminates Magisk.
I've been trying this now for days, literally days, reading through different forum posts, detailing my steps to myself in notepad++ step-by-step so I can see what it is I'm doing.
I'm left with zero clue what to do now except reach out and hope for some help from this forum.
Should have known... Now that I've posted on XDA it's fixed... In-case anybody else is having trouble here are the steps I've written down for myself.
Phone is S10+ SM-G975F (beyond2lte) - Bootloader / OEM Unlock is already unlocked.
