It came out in the magisk version. Will be able to decrypt?
I've tried to install magisk but doesn't work. I patched the original boot version with magisk manager but the phone doesn't start. To restore the phone you have to flashed new kdz

all your internal data will get lost
download rootk220 the put that files into micro sd
install lg drivers on your pc
enable usb debug in developer options
adb reboot bootloader
unlock bootloader [fastboot oem unlock]restart it will ask to factory reset . do it
repeat all the procedure to gain adb access
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot TWRP.img ------ dont flash
if is asking for password decrypt cancel
swipe to allow system write
restart phone with twrp then you will get a message that your device is corrupted but will restart
reboot again into bootloader the boot into TWRP
fastboot boot TWRP.img cancel for password decrypt and system write
install zips now in this order
1 .rce_univ.zip
2. super user
3. rce_univ.zip
4. VerifiedBootSigner-v8.zip
dont wipe anything just reboot and your done you will have root access
for reboot use soft reboot apps
if you will reboot the phone will never starts until you flash new firmware
cheers
i cant get the lg to boot into fastboot mode at all

did you enabled developers mode and usb debug ?
if you type adb devices your phone is recognized ?
did you install the drivers?
yep yep and yep. build number 7 times, enabled usb debug and oem unlock, all drivers installed, adb devices phone is recognized. whole 9 yards. its when i put adb reboot bootloader to boot into fast boot it just reboots normally. i have to manually boot it into download mode which still isnt fastboot

everything is correct the way it suppose to be. i have no problem with other Lg phones. i know how to do the command correctly. for some reason this Lg x power doesnt boot into fastboot. btw the internal storage is also encrypted. phone came like that. could that be the issue?

ok sow i was able to flash magisk almost the same method like super su but remove step 1 and 3 on flashing
all your data will be deleted from internal memory
don't complete reboot because will not work use soft reboot apps
Update modules doesn't work they need a complete reboot sow no use of magisk
Only superuser works

Bricked device

Well, it looks like I bricked my LG X Power with this procedure.
After installing the three files, in that sequence, my mobile does not boot.
I cannot put it to the bootloader menu again. Do I have to install another firmware?

Yes you have to flash a new kdz.i think you don't do it in wright way.
1.enable USB debug
2 unlock the booloader
3 reboot the device and restore device
4 ADB reboot bootloader the fastboot boot TWRP
When asking for decrypt cancel the allow system modification. Reboot you will get the notice that your device is corrupted ...... But will reboot
5. Reboot into bootloader then into TWRP. Cancel decrypt skip system modification. Mount microSD
6. Install magisk
7. Install boot signer V8 it will tell you that is already sign but resign with volume down button
8 reboot the device without wipe cache
Install magisk manager and your ok
Don't complete reboot will not start anymore use soft reboot apps

I guess I'm missing that part: "dont wipe anything just reboot and your done you will have root access"
After installing Magisk and BootSigner V8, I let TWRP reboot and it never comes back again. It keeps booting in loop.
TWRP is not permanent, right? I have to run 'fastboot boot TWRP.img' every single time.
