[UNOFFICIAL] TWRP 3.2.1 for LM-G710EM ONLY

2HtVAF5zfNMlmKhF0QYqCSr1rsstB1btNfdKl7WvGTcZkOSKCYNxdXwsSizx9VhiPg=s180-rw

NOTE
There are 2 versions for this recovery, SEMI-PERSISTENT & PERSISTENT.

1. Semi-Persistent Recovery
[Works on stock rom and custom rom] Not permanent, requires command in order to boot and needs to reflash it every time you need it and then reflash stock boot.img after using it in order to avoid bootloop.
2. Persistent Recovery
[Works only on custom rom] Permanent, you can boot on it anytime without a command and doesn't need to reflash it and stock boot.img.

Flashing TWRP Recovery

Downloads:
[SEMI-PERSISTENT] TWRP 3.2.1
[PERSISTENT] TWRP 3.2.1

1. You need to be rooted first. Root Guide: Magisk
2. Flash TWRP image (Download link above) using the following command:

Code:

fastboot flash boot_a pathtoimghere

and

Code:

fastboot flash boot_b pathtoimghere

Note: In this state, you will encounter bootloop when you restart your device and proceed to OS. So please, don't.
3. Boot to recovery using the button combination (VOLUME DOWN + POWER BUTTON).
4. Once you are booted in TWRP, you might notice that /date doesn't work. To fix it, you need to decrypt your phone.
For now, flash the vendor.img found here.
5. After step #4, Hit Wipe and Format Date on TWRP, type yes in the dialog, and then reboot to recovery (not system). TWRP will now be useful.
6. If you are on 10f or 10h stock rom download this TWRP then mount vendor and system, flash the zip through TWRP to enable semi-persistant.

Why is this TWRP semi persistent

So The g7 is a a/b device meaning it has 2 system paritions etc , but it doesnt have a recovery parition anymore so recovery is now a binary inside of boot.img which gets executed when hitting the button combo , but to have to you need to flash the boot.img containing it , and thats the point the boot.img containig twrp isnt compatible neither to aosp nor to stock meaning your phone would probably stuck in a bootloop or a reboot loop , so only thing we can do for now is flashing back our boot.img after were done with twrp, im working on it and i was able to smack twrp into the stock boot.img but it doesnt work correctly anymore then , I've finished my work on a variant that works without a pc needed

Persistance reached us , YAY

This is ONLY for AOSP OREO AND PIE flash this bootimage using fastboot flash boot_a pathtoimg or fastboot flash boot_b pathtoimg

Then TWRP will be always present no annoying flashes anymore

yes you can do everything once your decrypted , this twrp just wont stick

Sony92 · Jul 4, 2018

can someone please tell me if i have the buttons before warning that the bootloader is unlocked or after the warning? it's about booting to recovery after flashing the recovery.img. Unfortunately, I did not manage it yesterday.

should you flash at step 4 the file on the recovery, or via adb sideload?

hello mate long time no chat lol thinking of getting the g7 got one plus 6 at min will the fix for the one plus that makes the recovery stick work on this ?

Sony92 · Jul 7, 2018

will the error be corrected over time? because after the first reboot into the system the recovery disappeared again. I would like to boot again into recovery after being in the system, it no longer exists. I followed everything according to instructions

Great to know development is picking up on this device. Waiting for supplies to hit the rest of the world so I can get an European variant. ** Thumbs Up **

randomblame · Jul 13, 2018

stupid question but does the locked bootloader on usa versions disallow booting unsigned images over "fastboot boot" command also?

Hi.

As a developer, do you think it is possible enable HDMI out via kernel update?
