T-Mobile G6 H872 20D Stock Collection
Based on OEM 20d KDZ. Extracted and Repacked.

DISCLAIMER

• Proceed at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damage to your device.
• 20d Firmware is ARB01
• Flashing LAF WILL REMOVE TWRP from your laf partition and restore stock DL Mode
• SysBoot ROMs will only work with 20a or 20d bootloaders

FILE BREAKDOWN

• The following Zips DO NOT include stock LAF or Recovery
• You must flash the provided LAF separately if you wish to go back to stock DL mode.

​

• Bootloader: 20d Stock Bootloader ONLY
• SysBoot: 20d Boot and System ONLY (Modem, Bootloader not included). These zips are adb sideload compatible.
• FullStock: Full 20d Firmware Installation
• StockLAF: Individual LAF image for returning to stock DL mode
• TWRPLAF: Individual LAF image for replacing stock DL mode with TWRP
• Magisk: You know. You must flash this after flashing any of the above packages if you want to stay rooted.

INSTRUCTIONS​

• Make a FULL TWRP Backup using 3.2.3. Link to thread is below.
• If you are already on my 11g/h or 20a SysBoot ROMs with root and you are able to mount System in TWRP, you should not need to Format Data.
• If you are asked for a passcode in TWRP or are unable to mount System, Boot to TWRP and do a Format Data to remove encryption from your device.
• Reboot back to Recovery after Formatting in order for TWRP to mount System.
• Advanced Wipe - System, Data, Cache and Dalvik
• Flash your chosen Zip using TWRP
• You must have TWRP on recovery to flash LAF images.
• It is recommended that Sysboot Images be flashed AFTER Bootloader or FullStock
• If you Flashed SysBoot with Patched Kernel and Root, you are good to go. Otherwise, flash Magisk to maintain root access.
• Wipe Cache/Dalvik
• Reboot to system.
• Your phone may reboot once or twice during the initial boot to system. This is normal.
• Your phone may hang a while on the boot logo. This is also normal. If hang persists for too long, hold vol-down+power until phone powers off to reboot.

Announcement
I have officially moved to the V30 and no longer own the G6.
I will still be active in this community, but since I don't have the device any longer I will not be able to test any packages or issues that might arise.
All of my current projects have been tested. If anybody runs into problems, you can still let me know and I'll do my best to support my stock packages.
Thanks guys!

@Ken C FYI the 20a and 20d SysBoots are not deodexed, so it might be worth trying 20d to see if your Hotspot works.

Hotspot works but no fp sensor flashed 20d bootloader and Sysboot-mroot with a quick wipe (default wipe; cache data and dalvik) I mentioned it in the other thread. Was wondering if I should've flashed the full stock while I was at it.
Everything else works fine so far.

Yeah I'm not sure why that would happen. Sorry about that man. I would try wiping system and cache without wiping data then flash FullStock followed by rooted sysboot. maybe some of the modem related images are causing the problem

Lol... Dude I noticed today that you and I have conversations spanning different threads.
I wiped everything, flashed full stock and the mroot zip and all seems good so far.

Lol I know I'm being stupid but can someone explain it to me more simply so I don't brick my lg please and thank you

Not to put you on the spot man. Actually think it's kinda funny but take a look since you seem to be able to, and see if there's a 20e build out. I'm thinking security patch since they always say enhancement. But I was wondering, just wondering, if it's only a security thing would there be someway to get those updates without having to go through all this everytime? I'm not niave to not think there couldn't be something else in these updates I'm just curious what your thoughts on that may be.

Probably better off safe than sorry but noticed that build number last night somewhere. Europe probably so not here yet.

I don't have time now but I saw your posts from yesterday. I'll look when I get a chance to see what your on about if somebody else doesn't answer your question. If it's a root thing your technically in the wrong thread for that. But I'll see in an hour or so if I can possibly point you in the right direction. What model number are you running? H870, h872,etc. If memory serves me correctly most everything in here should be post root.

Didn't want you thinking you were being left out to dry

I have h872 I just want to get security patch and have root lol

 

[Ken C]

I'm going to assume that you've already looked into the root thread for the device.

If you have fwul on a thumb drive and know how to boot to it from your pc you really should be good to go. Just to make your life easier put twrp and magisk on your external SD card before you do anything.

Perform the laf switch in lgup.

Go through step 1 in fwul, but when you come to step 2 you'll be better off flashing it manually.

Rooting will put twrp on your laf partition and allow you to access it from there (using the method you used to get into download mode) to flash twrp to recovery and magisk to keep root. Op has these files set to not have to worry about some of this stuff but, first time through I'd want to do it by the book.
Theoretically if you have TWRP on recovery you should be able to flash one of his prerooted roms making the whole mess easier but I've not discussed that option with him. So don't try it unless you're adventurous.

This is from the op and takes place after you do step 1 through fwul (which seems to be all you really need that for)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=77811927

Biggest piece of advice I could give you would be to do a dry run of fwul and see what you get. That way you can work out any hang ups before you commit. And get a feel for how it operates.

The dangerous part is where you change the laf on the phone through the patched lgup program and have to do that cord pull deal. It seems to be good at the 10% mark. But to be safe once you get it set to go have the phone in one hand and cord in other. As soon as it goes from laf to the next partition

AS SOON AS YOU SEE IT CHANGE, PULL THE CORD!!!

Then boot into fwul and perform follow step one. Don't worry if unpacking seems to take forever, it jumped to 31% for me and felt like it got hung up. Be patient, like really patient and it'll eventually run through. Then finish out the commands that put twrp on laf.

You could if you want to do the reading, look through anything with my name attached. I had a hell of a time getting things right. Also just in case I missed something.

I'm still waking up but this should be what you need. I screwed it up a bunch of times and was probably lucky with no brick but like I said before it seems the laf switch is the dangerous part. I've been able to recover from everything else.

The link I posted is really specific and may help you more than me telling you from memory. So I'd read that after making sure you got the first part worked out procedure Wise from the root thread itself. (make sure you understand what you need to do for that part) Sometimes it's worth it to read through a whole thread to see the screw ups everybody else made plus there's a video some guy posted that shows it being done. Not to mention I could've missed something by accident.

Also just in case if you've got another sim card device hanging around I'd put the card in that and use it until you get this worked out correctly. Just so in the worst case you've got a working phone to use.

And honestly if anything I posted makes you uncomfortable hold off until you are. Things can be fixed but why stress if you don't need to?

I have h872 I just want to get security patch and have root lol

I've actually been wondering about the security patch deal myself.

It would be cool if we could do the monthly patch without people being nice and making things easier than they could be. It's not like it's not appreciated But it would be nice to just flash an update if it's only security related and go on with our lives.

Do you think there's any chance in hell this device would see P? The chip would be what 3 gens behind by then?

I just don't see it since it took this long to see O. I mean I've pushed phones further than they say you can with help from this site. But officially I don't see it happening so it's up to people creating roms that have a chance to keep a device longer than that 2 yr cycle. And that hasn't happened yet on this device. I blame that on the year it took to work out root

I did notice the other day that my spare moto X pure can run an 8.0 rom. It needs a new screen and It's running stock now but it's way easier to work on than this thing.

I wonder, with all the different partitions involved now a days if there wasn't some way. On the lines of how we achieved root in the first place. I know there's all the integration within the system and all that but I can dream right?

Can't sleep and that had me thinking
@weakNPCdotCom

Do you have anything you could send me so I can work this stuff out when you move along? I totally appreciate your help and think it's cool that your decent like this, but it doesn't make sense to depend on you like some (myself included) do if your moving on. Ain't gone lie and say if there wasn't something interesting on that newer phone that we could use I wouldn't be interested. But I can't switch phones that often and I'd like to be able to pull this stuff off myself to, if nothing, else keep it updated. There's just not the development that this model could pull off being done and i really don't see it happening. Love aex but I've mentioned why I run stock (gag gag) like I've been.

PM me if your willing, no stress just figured I'd ask. Page of links would be useful. I think I have an idea what your doing but I'm not sure how to achieve it.

Sorry for the delay in response. So, unfortunately when I tried debloating 20d I ran into a problem with the Calendar app crashing every 30 seconds. I spent hours trying to figure out which app I was removing that was causing that and I couldnt identify the problem. But I plan on revisiting the problem this coming weekend.

I have no problem sharing what I use to repack these.. I'll pm you the details in case you might want to give it a try.

Thanks man,
Something I've noticed on the 20d build. The "my places" app has been repeatedly closing. Not crashing and freezing it stops it. But when it would close it would close out settings at the same time.

Not sure if it was me or not. I been tweaking whatever I can. More curious if you'd seen it before yourself.

Saw you pm'ed me so I'll look at that. Feel like I live in a Morton's Salt label at the moment.

LG G6 H872 - Software version H87220e

Can I install this on my phone I have LG G6 "LG-H872" - Software version H87220e - Kernel 3.18.71

or it has to be 20e?

 

[macg13702]

can the lg g6 h872 be downgraded from h87220e to one with a bootloader for the available twrp for the T-Mobile lg g6?

 

[RashaMatt]

Whew, so many options

I'm on rooted 20a now, TWRP on recovery and laf -- I want to go back to full stock/factory, INCLUDING laf and lafbak (returning the phone).

Does your FULLSTOCK zip do this, or do I have to flash laf after, or...?

TIA!

Versions 11g - 20e are ARB01 and interchangeable. If you are rooted and/or already have TWRP on your phone then yes, you can flash the FullStock zip to downgrade. Otherwise, you will need to follow @runningnak3d 's root procedure which will require the KDZ for whatever version you want to end up on.

BUT.. I will put a 20e collection out for you guys asap.

FullStock does NOT replace your LAF or Recovery partitions. You can go back to stock LAF by flashing the StockLAF zip. However, I do not have any zips for recovery at the moment. I excluded these intentionally so people wouldnt lose all the hard work of rooting.

I dont have a 20d KDZ on hand, but I do have 20a. I can make a 20a recovery zip and add it to my 20a thread. Once it is available, you can put it on your phone's storage and flash it to recovery using TWRP already on your recovery partition (yes, even if TWRP is on recovery it can flash the recovery partition).

I can also include a stock recovery zip in the 20e package Ill be making.

If I just want to restore everything to factory stock, might it be just as easy to restore just laf from your ZIP, then use LGUP to flash the 20a kdz?

Thanks for all your hard work!

No problem m8! And yeah, if you want to download the KDZ I would use the patched LGUP that is linked in the H872 root thread
