I think you might have to reflash recovery but idk I'm not the best with this

@KAsp3rd W00T -- glad to see that you built this.

The new version of the lafsploit will be out later today, and with it you can use any recovery your want. It handles all the hash verifications internally. It is about as automated as I can make it.

It will be:

./flash-h918-laf.py # Flashes the h918 laf without the need of LG UP, so no brick risks if people aren't paying attention
./root-h872.sh <recovery.img> # If specified, it will use the recovery.img passed, if not, then it will use this version which will be included in the repo
./post-root.sh # This takes care of all the final steps.

So three commands, and that is it. If I could force a reboot back into download mode, it would be one command, but a reboot into download mode is required between each command..

Can you tell me this method? I cannot get this image to stick, it always reverts back to H870, meaning I cannot flash anything custom (guess I could run Remix H870-would that work?)

Flash the image to recovery, use the steps in the root thread to get it to stick and make sure you're actually booting into recovery and not laf

Any idea when this might be ready good sir? I am not in a good place right now with my G6, could really use these commands---stuck in TWRP and can boot a rom, but somehow didnt follow your Step 3 in the Root guide, and my misc.img didnt get moved over, thus I have a rom that cannot connect to Wifi due to lack of MAC--this update would be huge, as I would go back to stock and restart this mess.

TIA

 

[runningnak3d]

That won't help you now. Hopefully you still have the backup of your misc partition that was made in step 2. If so, boot to TWRP, and run:

adb push misc.img /sdcard/
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/misc.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc

Opemilekan's method actually worked, had to flash supersu then used flashify to flash h872 twrp. thanks for the response man

I used flashify and was promted for a decryption password upon booting recovery. Am I doing something wrong?

(Note that I can still access storage on the original download mode twrp, but not on this one)

 

[RicardoSal24]

Like everyone else I'm also confused as to how I can get the h872 recovery to work without breaking anything since I have the h870 recovery on laf

 

[IshsXda]

Stupid question I think, but I get a "Traceback (most recent call last):" after entering ./partitions.py --restoremisc twrp-3.2.1-0-h870.img .

Is there a specific place to put the TWRP ing file ? I think when I run the command its not finding the img.

Hey so I already followed this tut last week and have been on root but having issues that this recovery fixes, how can I flash to this TWRP?
