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

[arjuna_]

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.

Isn't that what a stock TOT will provide us?

TOT is one pulled from a device, KDZ is the official stock firmware from LG. Yes, we have to have a modified version of the flashing tool to use, but from there we're good.

IE: A TOT is good, but a KDZ is better and universal.

Yes it will help

Didnt you just brick a phone by being unable to tell the difference of a gsm and cdma tot/kdz?

Here is the link to the mega folder that currently contains the TOT of JUST the recovery.img. Once again this is bone stock after I did a factory reset.

The full stock TOT is still uploading to Google Drive.

You can't do nothing with a simple TOT or KDZ stock file.

You have to know before how to root device or your TOT/KDZ file will be only good to restore to Stock conditions.

Sir, the idea here is to repack the tot (recovery.img) with twrp. Doing so would allow the flashing of a systemless root in theory. I could be way off base but that seems plausible.

 

[wolfu11]

Not possible at all using your methods

You don't know what are you talking about. To do that you first need of a full unlocked bootloader. H830 bootloader is not fully unlocked

Actually it is, just be patient and see, so you don't have to eat too many of your words.
and please please be quiet for a minute so this doesn't get messed up like the last.

 

[jcase]

Yes man,

I'm the same that always has worked for all LG community.

And you are the same that on G4 irc channel last year pm'ed me to have G4 unlock.bin file.....

Shame of you man

An unlock bin that anyone with the ohone could have given me. A worthless file at that.. You then proceeded to continue to garass me for years, to the point i sold my flex.

You harass devs until they stop, then you insult inspiring developers.

 

[Jarritos]

well i see it as a good step up. we are in the right direction here and im not about to throw anyone down for it. a little help is more help than those that do nothing

 

[jcase]

Harassing as in endless tweets PMs mentiond etc.

Ive released more free android exploits than anyone, period. Pick anyone, that one alone is more than you have.

Thats a double negative, it does not mean what you think it does.

I have nothing needing justification.

 

[Jarritos]

Any solution that works works. And if @wolfgart thinks otherwise then why be on this forum in the first place.
