Will this work for the T-Mobile variant of the LG K20 Plus?

I Mean It Definitely Would Restore On Your Device However Your Data Connection Wouldn't Work Because It's A Metro Modem Flashed Instead Of T-Mobile

 

[iTzJoHaNxMoDz]

What kind of apps were removed? and can I go back to normal if I dont want this backup anymore? will it erase all my data?

 

[jb0ne]

my worthless T-mobile one refuses to enter recovery

 

[Drevious]

I did a full system backup with twrp would it help if I gave that to you for rom building

 

[Drevious]

I can try

I have built a stock rooted rom, but it will not complete the initial setup. Its as if there is no data when it shows 4g lte of wifi, strange.

 

[arcos]

And what about sim lock? Is this ROM unlocked?

 

[Esin8785]

And what about sim lock? Is this ROM unlocked?

Your asking 2 questions thinking they are related. The rom is unlocked meaning you can change it if there was a rom for it bootloader is unlocked so tou can modify the recovery bit sim lock is another thing they are not related in any way shape or form. If tour asking id it can be sim unlocked then yes it can be but that proceas is not like flashing a new rom to make that part work sim unlocking would work on the ohone on stock or not that just depends on who you got the phone feom like tmobile or metro tjey have presequets on how to sim unlock or you pay someone to do it for you

So in other words just because you have custom recoveey or rom or not sim unlocking is another process that has nothing to do with the phone being stock or not if that makes any sense

 

[arcos]

Thanks for the answer. Do you know how or who can remove sim lock from a K20 Plus? The original network is MetroPCS.

Has this worked for anyone? I tried it, I extracted the TWRP folder and all its contents on the sdcard went into restore (in twrp) but nothing was found.

Backups need to be i in twrp/Backups/LGxxxxxxxxxx (model/serial of phone) folder for twrp to see them, not on root of sd card.
If you haven't made a twrp backup, just do a backup of boot to create the proper folder and copy the 2016-12-31--20-18-59_NRD90U folder from the downloaded zip into it.

Thanks, now I am having another issue, I think I can resolve it I can't get twrp to mount /system rw so restoring backups is failing.


Is anyone else having this problem? What I did to fix it was open terminal in twrp, and type "mount -o rw,remount,rw /system" which seems to have worked, this was after installing the no-verify and a SU

You have to create a new backup folder , containing only one item. And then take the file that you have of all your real backups , and put it in that spot , if ur backup location is SD card , then this can easily be done useing Sun 3.0 micro SD card reader , or other method. The TWRP will see the file then. If ur backup is in internal memory , u just do the same thing. Useing minimal adb and fastboot (fromXDA). Otherwise TWRP will not see the backup file. There r a couple of videos on Utube as well , that cover this process.

Yes did that, got that sorted, thank you, I was asking specifically about if anyone else had system that was Read Only, would not allow Read write.

Is this based on a stock Google rom? I'm about to be getting this phone tomorrow through Metro, but I hate the LG UX UI and would rather it be vanilla Android 7.

Worked for mine but xposed makes it boot loop...
