[Recovery][H830] Team Win Recovery Project for the LG G5

[lj27416]

Sorry i use z3x for samsung mostly so it seems this LG software is not activated on my box. I'll see how much it costs to add it and get back to you guys. Hopefully its not much i am currently on a budget lol.

Great thanks for your help!

**EDIT**

these are the links i found to add this activation.....both too expensive for me.
Option #1
Option #2

If anyone else has this box or is willing to colaborate to add the activation........
i wouldnt have any use for it except for this little project.

I'll just go and try to haggle with the repair shop guy and see if I can get him to do it for cheaper. It's not that much money if we actually do get root after all is said and done.

 

[arjuna_]

Yeah he's willing to do it for less so I'm gonna go there in about 45 mins... hopefully I don't end up with a brick!

I'm sure we all wouldn't mind throwing cash your way for your help. I know I wouldn't [emoji106]

Oh and pay by credit card so you can charge back if it's corrupted and the guy won't fix it or something. CYA

My only big concern is whether a TOT made with this tool will be compatible with other H830s or kind of locked to a single device. I wouldn't want to start bricking people's phones left and right even if it works for me...

Also I think the tool can save individual partitions in a TOT format so I'll ask the guy to save a full TOT and one with only a recovery.img file. Also for those smarter than me (@autoprime or @jcase) is there any risk of tripping things like dm-verity if I do this? If you could please leave some input about this I'd really really appreciate it.

Waste of money, the tot format is pretty simple.

I just checked z3x website and the H830-stock is NOT listed as being supported. The H850 is. Just FYI.

I understand it's download this from here, convert to kdz and then to tot? I can't get an answer anywhere

I haven't found any way online to create a TOT and didn't want to bother you since you have wanted to distance yourself from the LG community. With that thinking, I don't think anyone else has thought it was simple enough for us to pull off without additional help so I felt it was worth the money to me. What's a few dollars to be able to root the phone and open up the options for people to create great things with this great hardware?

I have the TOT file in hand now. What's the best place to mirror it? Google drive?

The guy flashed it onto my phone and it seems to work fine.

Hey Arjuna, How did that guy flashed it on your phone? Using LG Up tool?

Google Drive or Mega should be fine.

Thank you wolfgart.

Is that tool available for download anywhere? Does it have to 1.11 version?

once the tot file is mirrored someone put up the jcase sign by tagging his name in a post lol. hopefully he could repack twrp for us.

I'm uploading it now to drive and also will upload a TOT with only the recovery.img to the same folder. If people are also willing send me a dollar lol

Ok, here's my two cents guys. I would love root myself to tinker with kernels and such, but I don't see it happening till we have a actual KDZ software package... Why? Because without it, if someone goes a bit too far with their device and soft bricks it, it's as good as a real brick......

If we have a KDZ, we can always restore our device unless we hard brick it. I don't know about you guys, but if I bork my device (and I have soft bricked MANY devices over the years), I want to have it functional again...

SO, we should be patient, hope we can get a KDZ and then hopefully a root will follow... Right now, it's like being a trapeze artist without a safety net. Not safe and not smart. Period.
