[Recovery][ROOT] Twrp v3 For LG K20 PLUS

[Nathan4923]

Mines grayed out

I think it's deactivated because I unlocked the bootloader prior to the screenshot. The OEM switch was available before unlocking the bootloader.

Try relocking the bootloader through fastboot and see if its grayed out. Unlock it before you unlock it again in adb thats what i did.

I already did that. It's no longer greyed out after re locking the bootloader.

Okay unlock it from developer settings then again from fastboot

I did that too. Same result after flashing the recovery.img

Okay well this is a long shot but try using platform tools to push the recovery maybe there is something there but definitley worth a shot. Try enabling usb debugging in settings before hand as well.

I don't know how to do that. New to this stuff. I'm sorry.

Well what i did was install platform tools from android sdk for fastbbot operation place the contents in folder on desktop place my recovery in the file.(try downloading recovery again as well)
Example (I set my file on desktop for easy access)
In cmd type:cd desktop
User\desktop: cd platform-tools
(I used the hardkey combo for bootloader access)
User\desktop\platform-tools:fastboot oem unlock
Folowed by fastboot flash recovery revovery.img
DO NOT FORGET TO POWER OFF IMMEDIATELY AND DO THE HARD RESET COMBO ("HOLD VOLUME DOWN + POWER until you see the LG logo and then temporarily release the POWER button, immediately pressing and holding it back down until you see the white prompt [factory reset] screen. You will NEVER release the volume down button in this process!"

I tried flashing with platform tools with the same result. Bootloop after the white prompt

I simply just used fastboot to flash twrp then took the battery out put it back in then booted into recovery and flashed a zip the decrypt the OS then flashed SuperSU then rebooted then profit

@LandonCaviness
It's your os or the recovery zip gets corrupted

I was thinking the recovery as well.

I was thinking the recovery as well.

i think its suppose to be greyed out, because mine is and its all working just fime. the only problem i had was one i created myself.

Well he locked the bootloader flashed the kdz and stock recovery factory reset worked so it must be the recovery gets corrupt somehow..

 

[Nathan4923]

It is supposed to be greyed out because mines greyed out and I'm rooted with twrp successfully flashed no errors the greying out of it just means that the bootloader is unlocked

Hey do you guys think you can figure out a Wai to root without a pc as I don't have one but would love to mess around with this new phone

 

[pikagunmike2]

Also is anyone else's sound very low and almost non existint at like 30% volume? It gets decent at 100% but like at 60 it's really low for a phone that's supposed to have a loud speaker
