as said.. mount the image in SALT -> advanced menu. Then you select browse image and you can copy what you want from your backup

You can backup oreo .
You can extract oreo kdz's.
Flashing MAY come even for oreo but I never give ETAs if that's what you meant ..
You're welcome
... There is that little thanks button for useful posts

Thanks for the reply the KDZ flash may help us Root depending what exploit we find.
Running Debian. I'm stuck at this part...
"Collecting python-zstandard
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement python-zstandard (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for python-zstandard"
I get this
"Collecting python-zstandard

Oops sorry:
pip3 install zstandard
is the correct cmd.. (not python-zstandard)
Thx for pointing .

Now I'm running into "Failed building wheel for pycparser" so I'll have to look into it after work.
Also a side note for pip3: !
Looks like after installing pip3 you need to run a few commands to "update" it (I'm guessing that's what it is) using the
Code:
pip3 install --upgrade setuptoolsI'm going to look into pip3 when I get back, I think those commands might be fast and loose so be careful!
Please help me bring up to speed in comprehending what SALT is all about. I've read the OP, but I still am unsure what I should expect from this utility.
- Can I with SALT make a full backup of my device just like a TWRP backup, and reflash the backup to unbrick my device (like it did when the LG G7 had gotten into a bootloop due to a crappy update)?
- Does SALT work with the LG V40 (at least the LM-V405EB, LV-V405EBW)?
- In the OP it is mentioned that with SALT you can unlock the LG G4, but is it known whether you can use it to unlock the LG V40?
No. SALT goes much further then TWRP . In TWRP you will backup some(!) partitions but never all. In SALT you can backup every single partition which is the only full real true nandroid backup .
Depends. On unlocked devices you can do so easily on every android version and on every device.
For this you would.just bring up fastboot and flash your backup back.
On locked devices it requires a compatible download mode (usually that means Lollipop or MM) . The flashing part in SALT while in download mode for locked devices is still under heavy development and so is not shown up by default in SALT .
The unlock is only available for the g4 sorry.

Hi @steadfasterX
I am trying SALT on my LG G6 H870 and have some positive starts but also some questions
I tried to use FWUL (persistent) - the 8GB version - on an SDCARD in my USB SDCARD reader formatting it with ETCHER but when I booted the PC from the SDCARD (as USB) I got an error saying
I the tried booting as UEFI and it got a bit further but still no joy
I then burnt the forgetful ISO to a 4.7GB DVD and this booted OK. I had a problem with it saying error /dev/disk/by-label/FWUL but this seemed to disappear when I booted from DVD and I had removed my SDCARD.
Anyway I booted off the DVD and put my phone into DOWNLOAD mode. SALT recognised the phone as an H870 and I could get a partition list once I had gone into a terminal and entered your UFS text
In the main window I could "REBOOT your device" and the phone rebooted.
Once I went back into download mode and restarted SALT I tried to do the backup partitions and this is where I got stuck. Everytime I tried to backup a partition I got the error message
I assume this is because I am running the forgetful DVD and there is no writeable disk space on the DVD. I have 3 hard disks on the PC, one of which had 65GB free and I managed to mount it after having to enter the password "linux" when I double clicked the disc in the File Manager app.
I am not sure how to tell SALT that I want my data backed up to a folder on that drive.
I guess on the persistent USB version the USB is writeable to store the partition backups.
I have linked my SALT debug log here https://bpaste.net/show/14dd48bf33f5
What is my next move?

LG G4 bootloop
So I tried Salt with virtual box, I tried with natively, booting my PC with it, I tried various USB cables and ports, but no matter what I do I can never get past the 2 gigabytes of my userdata partition backing up before it hangs. Sometimes it hangs even before that. I also tried some of those extract partitions.py scripts and it hung just after a few dozens of files. Worst of all, Salt refuses to mount the unfinished .img file so I can't even get the little data I manage to pull out of it. The file recovery utility bundled with FWUL only extracts around 500mb of data from that 2gb image. The other .py scripts in the LG folder I tried complain about some inconsistent indentation somewhere.
I don't think it's caused by the phone heating beyond the cryogenic temperature it only works at now, since it doesn't reboot after Salt hangs, however Salt doesn't recognize it when I launch it again. After a while it reports "backup success" and only then it starts recognizing it again.
My questions are as follows:
1) How to get past the 2gb limit and recover my data properly?
2) If not possible, how to mount at least the 2gb I got?
3) Why isn't it possible to view the partition filesystem itself so the user would be able to only download the files they need instead of wasting time downloading entire partition that might never succeed? Somewhere in those .py scripts I saw a mention of "download a particular file from the phone" so it should be possible. I'd rather just download all *.jpg files to get my photos back, for example.

Thanks for your valuable feedback!
Well sdcard isn't tested and as you saw it may not work properly.. Sorry for that but USB is the only true way to go.
Well that error means I need a live debug. There is nothing you could do else atm .
You can use dvd ofc and its fine when you mount your windows disk. It will not help now but for later after fixing the current issue.
Sure
There is no such xx GB limit in SALT . It VERY likely means your target storage do not have enough free disk space.
Usually you need to mount your windows disk and point the backup target there.
It's normal that in download mode a command must run until it finishes even when it locally failed. There are only 2 ways to abort that. Either force a reboot to download mode or wait..
You need the full partition to mount it properly (well without doing Linux stuff).
You could try the qphotorec Tool on that incomplete file though .
Keep in mind that the userdata partition must be UNENCRYPTED otherwise you would just backup a bunch of unreadable data.
Yes in theory it is possible to implement such a file browser but it isn't there atm. Why? Nobody asked for that . If you want that feature feel free to add a feature request on my bug tracker.

I heard that I should flash something before the Dec 2017 security patch. I can't find any KDZ files unfortunately and was hoping someone here would have a server I could pull it from.
Well I'm very thrilled by the existence of SALT, so thank you for answering. So it looks like that SALT is the tool that allows to recover from data wipe after unlocking. I dread unlocking an already in-use device, as backing up stuff & restoring from within Android is limited, time consuming and overall just annoying to deal with.
Lastly:
Is SALT only compatible with LG devices? Or does the list on point 7 in the FAQ literally mean that only those devices are supported, and any device that is omitted from the list will not work with SALT?
Can you choose which partitions you'd want to restore with SALT?
Is there a place where you can track the progress on V40 support being added to SALT?
I certainly don't have a free space limit, I have plenty (50gb), besides Salt wouldn't even let me start the backup if I didn't have enough. 2.2gb is just the most I was able to get, sometimes it fails at 1.5 or even 300mb. I think I saw a user earlier in this thread having a similar issue with their system partition.
It is very strange that nobody asked for a file browser feature, no way only my phone is dead to the point of the partition image being unrecoverable. Besides, downloading by a filemask would reduce the free space requirements and the time needed, and time is of essence when the phone only works after being put in a freezer and quickly heats up to the room temperature and stops working.
I managed to mount the incomplete image using some Windows software so I had a little more luck recovering the files from it now.
Yes at least when the device was not encrypted then for sure. It may even work when encrypted as long as the encryption footer / metadata partition will be restored too.
Yes. SALT is made for LG only. The way SALT operates depends on the LG download mode and so can't be adapted to other devices easily.
That list lists confirmed devices only . In theory ANY LG device will work. Newer devices need a workaround which is mentioned there as well until I had the time to implement the auto detect for UFS devices .
Of course. Currently flashing supports 2 modes:
Kdz flash
Folder flash (e.g from a folder which contains a previously taken backup)
Both will let you choose the partitions to flash and even more you can change even the destination partition on the folder flash mode. E.g. You could flash TWRP in the boot or laf partition etc.
Sure:
https://github.com/steadfasterX/SALT/issues/29
Without the debug log (see faq) I can't say why that happens to you sorry.

About
steadfasterX's All-in-one LG Tool (SALT)
SALT is able to communicate with your device while in download mode and provides these features:
Detects your:
- ARB
- device model
- firmware version (short)
- firmware version (full)
- country of firmware
- Secure device state
- Battery Level
Is able to:
- working completely without any LG dll (no more issues with replacing LGUP_xxxx.dll anymore!)
- backup your device (predefined modes: full & basic and since v3.20 even a custom mode)
- extract KDZ files
- display your partitions (including what each partition is like bootloader etc!)
- open a shell on the device*
- ERASE (HOLY SH*** this is DANGEROUS!) one or multiple partitions
- verify a taken backup (read all about this here)
- self-update
In development (already working on LP firmware! NOT on MM or N! read the Note):
- Flashing a folder (e.g. from a previous backup)
- Flashing a KDZ
Reason:
Requirements
mAid (fka as FWUL) (recommended)
No requirements as SALT and everything needed is included there!
Highly recommended: booting mAid from USB stick to avoid any connection issues.
Ensure you use the latest mAid release and start SALT by opening the LG folder on the desktop.
Now just click the update button once SALT is started to ensure you have the latest and greatest SALT version!
Linux:
I recommend mAid (fka FWUL) in general but SALT is made to be run on any Linux (if you can set it up).
Requirements to install before beginning:
yad, git, python3, python3-pyusb, python3-crypto, python-zstandard (python3), python-pip (python3) and pkexec/policykit
(instead of pkexec/polkit gksudo will work too but this has been removed from many distributions)
On mAid:
- open the Folder "LG" from the desktop and start SALT
On Arch:
sudo pacman -Sy polkit git xterm python-pyusb python-crypto python-pipyay -Sy yad python-zstandard(hint: you may need to install yay first)sudo pip3 install cryptography
on Manjaro:
sudo pacman -Sy polkit yad git xterm python-pyusb python-crypto trizen python-pip python-zstandardsudo pip3 install cryptography
on *buntu, Debian, Mint and on all derivates of those:
sudo apt install policykit-1 yad git xterm python3 python3-usb python3-pipsudo pip3 install zstandardsudo pip3 install cryptography
you may need to setup your udev rules as well: android-udev-rules thats another reason why I recommend mAid this is all implemented there out of the box..!!
Windows:
Windows users should use SALT in mAid which is highly recommended for many operations with Android devices. Also read & follow the above topic "mAid (fka FWUL) (recommended)".
Installation (not needed on mAid! Just open the LG folder and start SALT)
- open a terminal
- type:
git clone https://github.com/steadfasterX/SALT.git cd SALT bash install-desktop.sh - read the output and if required copy the SALT.desktop file manually to your Desktop.
- double click the SALT icon or while in a terminal start SALT with: sudo ~/SALT/salt
- When starting SALT the first time you will be prompted to install necessary backend tools.
Choose YES to install them!
Note:
Even when the downloads tab in this project will contain releases the most up-to-date code can be fetched via the above way only.
Nevertheless you can download the tar file from the Downloads tab but ensure that you're using the latest code by starting an update (Update button in SALT) afterwards.
Usage
Start the device in download mode and connect it to the PC.
Start SALT.
Usually the download mode should be fully ready in 20 - 60 seconds after you see the cycling arrow screen.
But some devices needs up to >= 90 seconds until SALT can detect your device.
If you still get trouble connecting boot the device in download mode and let it connected that way while rebooting mAid (fka FWUL) or your personal Linux.

Version Information
Status: Stable
Created 2017-12-1133FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
- 1) How can I get into the download mode?
Boot your phone into download mode--> the following guide is 100% working and bulletproof:- take out battery and unplug USB cable
- plugin USB cable to your PC (while battery ist still out)
- wait until you see the missing battery icon (question mark within a battery symbol)
- press Volume up and while keeping it pressed put battery in (take care that you do not press the power button)
- keep pressing Volume up until you see "Download mode"
If that does not work for you try it this way instead:
Your phones screen should look similar to this afterwards:
View attachment 4284063
- 2) Does SALT work on LOCKED devices ?
Oh what a great question YES it DOES.
But keep in mind.. even when you can flash/erase partitions with SALT this still requires either valid/untouched pure LG files or an unlocked device.
- 3) Can I unlock my LG G4 device with SALT?
Holy moly ---NO!YES! ( https://leech.binbash.rocks:8008/g4-links/ for the guide)
- 4) What is the meaning of ARB?
Anti-Roll-Back a stupid mechanism to brick your device. Read on here
- 5) Do I need a specific ARB version to work with SALT?
You can start and use SALT with any ARB version. Later when flashing is fully implemented you will be warned when your ARB is lower then then one you want to flash.
- 6) Which firmware versions does SALT support?
Any of lollipop, marshmallow and nougat
- 7) Which devices does SALT support?
In theory ANY LG device supported by the lglaf backend.
Confirmed devices are:
- G2
- G3
- G4 (H810, H811, H812, H815, H818, H819, VS986, LS991, F500)
- G5: unknown may only work with modifications like mentioned in the Release Notes for v3.20
- G6 (H871) only with modifications: see Release Notes for v3.20. Please help in making this fully working! OP -> topic "Support"
- V10 (H900)
- V20 (H910) only with modifications: see Release Notes for v3.20. Please help in making this fully working! OP -> topic "Support" OP -> topic "Support"
- yours -> report your device by uploading the debug log from the advanced menu and share the bpaste link!
- again: in theory any LG device will work with SALT . All newer devices (G5 and later) will just need the mentioned modification: see Release Notes for v3.20. Please help in making this fully working! OP -> topic "Support" OP -> topic "Support"
.. this will change in one of the next versions as I will implement an automatic detection , of course!
- 8) SALT is prompting me after a backup for verification. I have many Warnings|Errors what does that all mean?
Read on here about he verification feature in SALT: MD5 verification
- 9) I have installed SALT already. Is it possible to just update it?
Of course thats one of the awesome features in SALT.
Since v3.7 SALT will check for a new version on startup automatically and prompt you to update if necessary.
If it ever fails just click the update button at the bottom.
- 10) I have installed SALT already. Is it possible to switch between STABLE and STREAM channels?
Note: STREAM (fka TESTING) may have issues, brick your device, let your phone or PC explode. so use it with care.
So if you wanna still switch the channels click the update button at the bottom first.
If you want to be on/switch to the STABLE channel choose Target mode = STABLE
Click update and restart SALT afterwards.
If you want to be on/switch to the STREAM channel choose: Target mode = TESTING
Click update and restart SALT afterwards.
- 11) I have a partition file with the extension: [ bin | image | img | mbn ]. How can I convert this?
The extension is not important. The way how you extract files - is. That's why I say all the time use SALT.
On Windows the file extension matters a lot which is not the case for Linux/Android.
So if you see a guide mentioning to use a "bin" file and you have the file but with an extension of "image" (or vice-versa) it does not matters.
There is no need to convert anything as they all are just raw image files.
- 12) I want to backup but SALT says I have too less space for that! How can I get more disk space in FWUL (or my VM)?
Read FAQ #5 in the FWUL thread (yes even when you are using Windows and do not run FWUL but any other Linux + SALT) and setup a shared folder with enough disk space as described.
Point to that new shared folder (ensure you do not use spaces in the foldername and that you have created a new folder in the start of the shared folder) when asked for a backup location in SALT.
- 13) I do *NOT* use FWUL because I have my own Linux running and you told me to install tmate. How?
Current instructions can be found here: https://tmate.io/
Ensure you create a SSH key as that is needed to start tmate later:
Code:ssh-keygen -b 4096 -f ~/.ssh/tmate -N '' (note: the characters '' are 2 single quotes)
Install tmate on Arch Linux / Arch variants like Manjaro, ..:
Code:trizen -Sy tmate or: yaourt -Sy tmate (yaourt is [U]DEPRECATED[/U]!)
Install tmate on Ubuntu / Ubuntu Variants like Kubuntu, Linux Mint, ... :
Code:sudo apt-get install software-properties-common sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tmate.io/archive sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install tmate
- 14)Is there a Windows version of SALT available or planned?
No. NEVER. Just use FWUL which has SALT already included and everything setup to manage your Android device.
If you have issues in running FWUL report them in the FWUL thread.
- 15)What is GPT compability (LG G4 only)?
I saw people often confused about that option and here is what it is and does:
1) This is only valid for the LG G4 models. If you have another one ignore it.
2) If you have a LG G4 and not UsU'd (so an official unlockable model) - just ignore it.
3) If you have a LG G4 and UsU'd your device (or planning to do so) this option is for you.
Background:
- 16) Is it possible to extract TOT files with SALT?
No but you can use this windows tool to extract TOTs: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2600575
- 17) I want to backup/extract my user data (internal storage) with SALT and my device is encrypted. Is that possible and can SALT unencrypt that data?
SALT is doing 1:1 copies of your partitions which is really 100% identical to what is on your phone. If your data is encrypted SALT will backup that in the current state which means encrypted because within the download mode your userdata partition does not get mounted. So what does that mean? Yes you can backup your userdata but .. you can NOT mount it afterwards as it is just encrypted data. afaik there are no tools available to unencrypt but I may be wrong (let me know if you are aware of any).
Does it makes sense to backup encrypted data? Depends on what you want to get. If you want to have a really full 1:1 copy of the current phone it might be useful if you are able to restore that data (e.g. via TWRP). Keep in mind though that encryption usually needs more partitions to be restored (e.g. persist or others) which contain information/keys,... as well.
TL;DR
You can but it is usually not very useful.
- 18) Isn't it possible to flash with SALT (yet)?
Well the flash mode is not enabled by default - while it can be enabled manually. The main issue here is that you can easily hard brick your device and I tried to find a way of making it possible to avoid that. Unfortunately and due to the wide range of models SALT supports this can't be guaranteed.
That is the first reason and the second is that LG limited/restricted the LAF protocol used for communicating with the device in later versions and so flashing will simply not work on these.
Fully supported are LAF protocol version: 1000001, 1000002. Anything later like 1000004 (e.g. Nougat on LG G4) will NOT work.
If you want to take the risk read on here
- 19a) (was FAQ 1000 before) I have an issue not listed here - what should I do?
19b) Is there a SALT logfile and how can I share it?
While your device is connected in download mode:
Advanced Menu -> SALT Debug log -> Upload button -> right click the link or open it in a browser and copy from there
Picture guide:
do NOT share it as an attachment in a post or sending it as file via Telegram/Matrix. If the above does not work for you (then it is a bug which needs to be fixed) always use a paste service - never plain files.
See also the next FAQ reg. paste services
- 20) Sharing logs / Using a paste service
when sharing logs or longer texts it is recommended a so-called "paste service". This is useful to keep a forum / chat readable for everyone and it dramatically helps a developer to read the log without saving tons of log files on their phones/PC's.
Here are some examples (use your fav search engine to find more):
- https://hastebin.com
- https://controlc.com
- https://justpaste.me
- https://privatebin.net
- https://pastebin.com
- https://gist.github.com (no size limit!)
- https://gitlab.com/dashboard/snippets (no size limit!)
There you will always have an option how long you want to store that paste:
Please ensure you choose at least several months (better 1 year) because developers have a real life, too and so its uncertain when they might find time to look into it.
Once you pasted your text in there you will get an paste URL which you then can simply share without spamming a group/forum.
