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

DISCLAIMER
  • Proceed at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damage to your device.
  • These Zips were not tested (no longer own a G6). Post any problems you have in the thread
  • 20e 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: 20e Stock Bootloader ONLY
  • FullStock: Full 20e 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 any of my other Stock ROM's, you should be able to Dirty Flash these.
  • 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.
  • If you Flashed FullStock with Magisk, 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.

DOWNLOADS
Stable v1.0
Project Files have been moved to SourceForge

Please let me know if you run into any problems with them. Thanks!​


Other H872 Projects


For my friends
I wanted to put this out quickly, so I did not create any SysBoot ROMs for this build. As of now, I don't plan on it. However, if some of you ask nicely then maybe I'll make some time :)
Hope everybody is doing well. Have a great day.

Just FYI, I was not able to test these since I no longer have a G6. There are some assert checks that look at your device model and file checksums. If flash fails for anyone, please let me know.

SysBoot only includes boot and system images, whereas FullStock includes all of the stock firmware images (bootloader, modem, boot, system)

When I make a SysBoot zip it's normally for deodexing and debloating the stock system and integrating Magisk.

I didnt make any SysBoot zips for this, but I did integrate Magisk into one of the FullStock zips so it will flash Magisk automatically after flashing the firmware.

ok, but if I use the fullstock with magisk does that mean that I have to reflash twrp again using the runningnak3d root method?? again I'm sorry if it sounds dumb :confused:

ahh I see what you mean. none of these packages touch your laf or recovery partitions unless you flash the stock laf zip. all that hard work will still be in tact.

just flash the zip with magisk and you're done

Interesting, I haven't flashed this latest yet myself just got done backing things up.

Is this from clean or dirty flash?
I'm running his 20d right now and was going to flash the full stock + magisk zip dirty caught this post just before doing it.

I'm getting an "invalid entry size" message when I try to look in the zip file using es file explorer. It then behaves like your inside the file but I don't see anything. I haven't tried flashing yet. I have an idea what's up but don't know how it would be fixed or if I'm even correct. I haven't tried opening the zip on a pc yet.
@weakNPCdotCom
Not pushing or anything but if you could take a peek at it. Hopefully nothing major. I was looking at the message you sent me and your talk about the updater script. Maybe it's just that? I'm admittedly guessing here.

It sounds like the ZIP is corrupted. Might have happened during the upload. I'll check it out this morning

Either of you guys try the standard FullStock? it's the same you just have to manually flash magisk after flashing the ROM

I haven't flashed a thing yet. I'll give it a try in a bit and get back to you. No stress man just figured I'd pass it on. Pulling down full stock now.

Update : still haven't flashed yet but straight full stock is giving me that same invalid size message. I'd give it a try but I'm fairly sure it would throw the same error.

So I tested the zip and it was fine, not corrupt at all. So if it was corrupted it would have been during the download.

Ok so since we're bouncing around so much between threads. (I'm using Tapatalk and only get those first few words or the thread title) lol almost comical. Anywho... And as always no stress I'm just laughing right now. Saw lg dropped 20g for the 870. So I think we can say they've upped their game at least when it comes to security updates?
Like I said it's such a shame that there isn't some way to just add the updates. Somebody got 20f to root using the tried and true method overnight or looks like.
Just thinking out loud here. But, if we had some way to revert the device to register to the update as a valid device. (thinking all the laf & recovey stuff would need to be stock.) Would that or something in not thinking of keep it from updating? I get if it sees magisk it'll probably act up. I'm just wondering is all.
Remember multirom? So have one straight stock, one rooted, then if it's possible (I realize this is easier said than done) push the root stuff over to the straight stock using some python or some such script to remove and replace files that would be necessary to keep root but have the update also.
Totally 3am or so thinking, but just popped in my mind and couldn't help sharing the thought since we were just talking about it.

@Ken C
I have some news kinda. I'm creating a utility that will build FullStock and Bootloader zips from the extracted kdz files. that will make the process much faster and if it works well I might even share it.
