Unable to Install TWRP

[latinpride613]

Hello Everyone,

I pray all had a wonderful weekend. I am a frequent visitor to this site and love all the advice and work many of you do. Thanks for all the support this far!

I searched through the forum to see if I could find some similar issues but was unsuccessful at finding it. I currently have the LG V10 (LG-H901) by T-Mobile running 5.1.1. I was able to successfully unlock the bootloader via fastboot. I came across the issue when I tried to install TWRP-2.8.7.1-h901.img. It would go through fine on CMD but just would not go through on the phone. The fastboot menu would boot up strangely (After unlocking the bootloader) with the text all pixelated in a way. You are unable to read the words. The phone works fine. It happened to me on two phones so it must be something that I am doing incorrectly but just can't find it on Google or this forum. I apologize if I messed and and hate to start a new thread if its here but no such luck finding it. Anyone experience this before or might have some advice? Thanks!

If it happened on two phones. Then it's likely a step you are overlooking. The biggest thing you need to consider when working on a new device is making sure you have ALL prerequisites before flashing, fastbooting, adb, etc.

- Make sure you have LG usb drivers installed, then reboot your PC.
- Install ADB system-wide
- Turn on OEM unlock in your Dev-settings
- Make sure USB debugging in ticked AND you allow always for the connected PC.

I will give this another try when I get home from work. I am pretty sure I did all that was said but like you stated seems I missed a step somewhere. By going through the steps here over again, even though I went through I might have gone through them already, would that cause any damage? If not I will just go through step one all over again. I did not get the instructions from here so I want to start from the very beginning with the link you posted. Thanks!

Make sure you did not forget , or it got reset, go into developer settings and enable Oem Unlock, I know 2 people that kept missing this step for a week.

Thanks! I've made sure that's been on from the get go. Forgot I had class today so I am waiting to fly outa here to try this out. I will be sure to update this thread with my results. Any other advice is in the mean while is always welcome.

I first checked if all things above were checked off in the Dev options. They both were the Enable OEM unlock and USB Debugging. I then went in and tried the one click. It booted into fastboot fine but when it gets to the point where its suppose install TWRP the phone itself does nothing. CMD executes fine. The phone just stays where the screen tells you some of the fastboot instructions. From some other sites and videos online it suppose to install TWRP and you can boot right into it.

When you restart the phone you get the message that the bootloader is unlocked on the top left corner. I can't get to the recovery to see if it was even installed. Doesn't seem like it was.

This last step is killing me as I know once I get through this I am rooted. I can try doing it step by step again but feel like I will get the same results. Worth a shot anyways.

When I do "adb reboot recovery" I get a dead android with a red exclamation mark.

Ok try this.....see if this work for you
1. From extracted KlicKiT folder that where ever you saved let say dektop hold shift then right click.... Open cmd command here.
2. Type these three commands in order one by one then enter.

Hope that work for you...[emoji2] let me know ... And seem like twrp didn't install correctly when you try KlicKiT tool.
