Hello.
I recently sold this phone and went to factory reset. no problem. However, i forget i deleted the STOCK home app. THere is no launcher on the device so LG Setup Wizard simply crashes when finished setting it up. There is NO ADB since the setting has been erased. I need to re-enable it in settings but can't get that far since LG Setup Wizard keeps crashing..
I think i'm screwed.. what a stupid way to brick..
Device is: LG Optimus L9 P769 T-Mobile variant. Thanks guys!
you should be able to put your device on download/emergency mode and flash a kdz file with lg tool, you tried it?
if don't try yet, take out your battery, hold + volumen botton and put your battery again holding even + volumen key, and conect your to your computer, it must show the yellow screen with the legend download/emergency mode, and in your computer must be install the drivers, to exit the download/emergency mode just take out the battery or hold the power button, and for flash a kdz file, search a tuto, there are many, and many videos to make it easy . All this process let your device as new, all applications and configurations
I am aware of that mode but when attempting to flash that way before, after upgrading to jellybean, it would never flash for me. So I didn't even try it. I'll give it a shot though. I also was able to download one of the cwm backup zips posted in the other thread and extracted the system partition then created a .img image out of it and will try both your method and flashing that img file when I get home from work. Thank you for your post!

SOLUTION
Installed the ICS uboot.
Booted to SW Upgrade mode via plug USB, hold volume up button, place battery into device
Launched KDZ update tool and it connected and went smoothly!
If you have the JellyBean uboot, it won't connect in SW Upgrade mode if booted manually.

SECURITY UPDATE: Some of the executable programs in this guide may be mistakenly quarantined as a virus by your antivirus program. There are workarounds for this but it is outside the scope of this guide. You can find instructions on how to add temporary exceptions to your antivirus program within its respective documentation. If you make these types of adjustments to your security program in order to install and execute these programs, you do so at your own risk.
Disclaimer: This guide assumes that this is the first attempt to accomplish root and fresh drivers will be installed during the process; if you have already attempted to root your device without success, you may have apps, scripts or drivers on your PC or Tablet which will render this method unsuccessful. Start with a clean tablet, without previous driver installs for the device on your PC.

Aside from the root apps you see here, XPOSED Framework is also functional after root.
If you choose to update your system, go ahead and system/wireless update your tablet to 4.4.0/A86V_004, (System Settings -->About Phone -->System Update/Wireless Update), The wireless update does include some security patches, however this root method and recovery installation are still successful. Further test results will be posted as updates are available. Please feel free to add feedback if you have updated your system/wireless settings beyond this guide and attempted the process. -Thank you.
Download/Install SuperSU app from the play store.
Download/extract the iroot installer to your DESKTOP. (Warning: Rooting or modifying your software may void your warranty, proceed at your own risk)
iRoot Download Page Notice: This guide applies ONLY to the PC VERSION, not to the mobile APK.
1. On your Tablet, activate Developer Options (System Settings-->About Tablet-->Build Number (tap 7 times)-->System Settings-->Developer Options-->USB Debugging.
2. Connect your Tablet to your PC, run iRoot as Administrator and wait for iRoot to detect your device and install drivers. Please use a quality USB cable that was made to transfer data, not a standard charging cable.
3. After drivers are installed, click the green root button in the program to initiate rooting sequence, (during the sequence the program should temporarily put your device into Fastboot mode and download the MT65 driver automatically. (If the driver fails to install you may need to boot into fastboot (hold volume down/power until menu comes up, use volume key to select fastboot and connect to pc), mode seperately in order to get the(MT65XX) driver, if the iroot program doesn't automatically install, start back at step two after rebooting into normal mode.)
4. When the program is completed it will indicate that you have root, disconnect your device and open the SuperSU app. This should prompt the Chinese SU app on your tablet to notify you to grant su permissions to the English version, click the grant icon in the notification, SU should now be administering root on your device. If the SuperSU app doesn't successfully update the binary, you most likely do not actually have root and will need to restart the process.
Two Chines apps will be installed along with root, you can delete them after you are administering root from SuperSU without any adverse affects.
Housekeeping:
It has been reported that a couple of activities in the program are inconsistent; you may not get the Chinese notification to grant root privileges to the English version. This would indicate that although the program sees all the flags for root on your PC, there may be a problem with the install. In this case you can attempt to Un-root/Re-root, or try to locate the Chinese app (the installed SU app, not the mobile installer apk), and try to activate it manually.
Currently there is no translation available for the functions so you will need to investigate this.
OK on to the tricky stuff, (well, hopefully not for you)
1. Again go ahead and download/extract this to your desktop. WARNING: There are different versions of the installer, confirm that you only use the installer compatible with MTK Devices with UBIFS system!
Easy Magic TWRP Install Tool
2. Connect your tablet to PC w/USB Debugging on.
NOTE: In some cases users are reporting issues with the manual prompts not being available in the process below. Please run the TWRP in automatic mode initially, then repeat the process in Manual mode. If this doesn't work, it is recommended that you uninstall/re-install the drivers for the tablet, delete the the new recovery image files created by the program and restart the process from scratch. Please report any findings you may have.
3. Run the executable as Administrator. You will need to run this install MANUALLY in order to get the touch screen orientation correct the first time. UPDATE: You may need to run in Automatic mode first run through, it will install but orientation will be incorrect. Re-run program in manual after rebooting tablet and run in manual mode in order to select correct orientation, follow steps 5-8.
4. Download and copy the stock recovery from the link below somewhere on your pc.
stock recovery image
5. Start the MTK-TWRP program and follow the prompts, select NO for manual install. Follow the prompts using the settings below.
6. You will be prompted to place stock recovery in the STOCK folder in the program, go ahead and copy it in there.
7. Follow the rest of the prompts, if the program does not detect your resolution it is; 1024X600.
You will be asked if you have a flipped screen, click YES
You will be asked if you have touch screen problems, click YES
You will then be presented with a selection of screen orientation options, click the radio button for , EDIT: Flipped Screen Swap XY Flip Y. Thanks @IamNWar) UPDATE: This screen orientation confirmed to be working, and recovery is functional. There seems to be a weird glitch after performing an operation that the screen orientation temporarily flips, but this does not appear to affect performance of the recovery.
8 The program will then continue with the installation and boot into recovery (TWRP Touch). If everything is correct, you should have fully functional touchscreen functionality (although it seems upside down, buttons on left).
IMPORTANT: NAND BACKUP TO EXTERNAL SD CARD IS NOW AVAILABLE TO YOUR RECOVERY, BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE IT IS ADVISED TO GO AHEAD AND PERFORM A BACKUP AND KEEP IT IN A SAFE PLACE! EVEN IF YOUR DEVICE BECOMES BRICKED LATER, IF YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THE TWRP RECOVERY YOU CAN STILL RESTORE YOUR SYSTEM FROM THE BACK UP. I HAVE TWO OF THESE TABLETS FOR TESTING AND HAVE SUCCESFULLY REMOVED THE OPERATING SYSTEM AND RESTORED IT THROUGH TWRP.
Use the stock recovery below for unpack/repack if you get into trouble and lose stock (English) recovery, (you won't effect the actual chinese stock recovery): Follow the prompts and you will be asked if you want to install the repacked recovery, click yes and your device should reboot to stock recovery.
stock recovery image
Don't forget that this device has a reset button on the back which will assist you to boot up normally, should you run into problems.
If you feel that you have hosed up your recovery through any attempts, I will assist you in returning to stock, which can also be pushed by the TWRP installer. Please give credits/thanks to the great teams that created the iroot and Easy Magic installers. This is simply a guide, I created none of the programs or processes.
Disclaimer: What you do with your device is your own responsibility, modifications may result in voiding your warranty, these instructions are offered as a guide, this guide is in no way endorsing one root/recovery method over another, this is simply the path I found to accomplish the task, please post any shortcuts or errors you may find for the benefit of the community..
Excellent, thanks for documenting the way you did that. I've got my DL701Q upgraded and re-rooted, and will give your TWRP instructions a try.
Are you aware of a custom ROM available for these tablets yet? If not, at least having TWRP will let us make nandroid backups of the stock ROM in the mean time.

Awesome! Not aware of any custom ROM's, but maybe with a working custom recovery, we will move in that direction. I'm not sure what boot-loader issues may be a barrier to that process though.....

Good point. I'm not certain either, but if getting TWRP on is already doable, then that bodes well. Certainly, being able to make backups through TWRP at least makes it more feasible to try other things out.
Did you get installed with the correct orientation?

Thanks to your guide and the developers of the softwares, i was able to get my device rooted, Thank you!
However, i do have an issue with the installation of MTK-TWRP and it's screen orientation. After selecting
1024X600 option, i receive no other prompts after selecting Yes to "do you have a flipped recovery screen".
After the device reboots, all the buttons in the TWRP are displayed landscape style, but it's as if the touch sensor
areas for the top half of them are offset of the physical screen.
If i touch in the area near "Reboot" it opens the "Wipe" menu, if the screen is reversed, that is to be expected.
However, if i touch in the "Wipe" button area, expecting to see the "Reboot" menu, nothing happens.
The Home, Back, and Menu buttons are also not accessible if i touch the opposite side of the screen.
It the tablet goes to sleep and i press the power button to wake it, i get a "Swipe to unlock" TWRP screen.
I've tried swiping every which way on the screen to unlock it, but with no success. I have to use the reset button.
I even tried selecting a smaller resolution, but it only makes the TWRP screen smaller and offset, the top rows of options are still unavailable.
Any ideas?

Interesting, let me know if doing the automatic method first works first go, it may ask the questions regarding resolution and flip screen, but will not give you options to change orientation. It will back up your recovery however, I will update the instructions on your feedback....thanks for the input.
Still having the same issue as before, even with automatic setup, it says it is unable to determine the resolution,
I select the 1024X600 and it askes me if i have a flipped recovery screen. If i select Yes or No, the TWRP button touch response positions are scrambled, and if it goes to the slide to unlock screen, i cannot unlock it, i have to reset it.
Here is the map if i say yes to flipped recovery
Install : Press Settings
Backup : Press Restore
Restore : Press between Restore and Advanced
Wipe : Press Advanced
Mount : Press unknown
Settings : Press Install
Advanced : Press between Install and Mount
Reboot : Press Mount (Reboot menu touch positions are scrambled too)
Home Icon opposite corner area below reboot
back Icon opposite corner area below reboot
Menu Icon opposite corner area below reboot
Ha! to unlock swipe from Install to Mount !
Well, it's sorta mapped, but even if i select Reboot and then Power Off in the Reboot menu screen, it still boots back into TWRP. To get it to boot to the OS, i have to use the reset button.
Is there an option to remove TWRP. I know it's usefull, i have it on my N4, but for this tablet, its not really necessary, stock ROM is fine, as long as i can stop some services with Ti backup.
Edit: I can get out of TWRP with a long press of the power button and then power it up to the OS normally.
Once you run the program on automatic, you should run it in manual mode. It should give you options to select your orientation if you follow the prompts. Not sure why you're not seeing those menu options.

Hi protocol. I hope you can help me. I had this tablet rooted. I downloaded an app that didn't play nice and tried to reboot. Now it won't go past the digiland screen.the little blue animation doesn't pop up or anything.I have tried factory resetting but no luck. Any ideas on how to fix? If I could somehow get the stock update.zip I could probably flash that in stock recovery but I haven't been able to find the firmware. Any help would be appreciated.thanks

UPDATED: Added warning regarding UBIFS system installer for TWRP. If you are not aware, the DL701Q Tablet utilizes the UBIFS file system. You must use the the correct version of the installer, (MTK Devices w/UBIFS).
You can flash the stock recovery image from my post, but you may need to factory reset in the actual Chinese stock recovery.

I can't get booted up. I know a little about android and it's like the system is hosed somehow. I'm trying to find the stock Rom update.zip which I'm not exactly sure exists. I never had twrp recovery on it. It's got factory recovery.

Try booting into recovery (power/volume down buttons), and attempt to factory reset from there.
After a break, i picked this back up again today.
I was able to initiate the correct selections to do a factory wipe via TWRP
and started over. I re-ran Iroot, and it verified i already/still had root.
I then ran MTK-TWRP in auto and then in manual.
(i do get a verification that i have UBIFS)
This time i did get a screen that asked me if i had touch problems
and then asked me to select the orientation. :good:
I thought got the orientation incorrect though, it was flipped opposite diagonally, but
at least i knew where to press to activate the intended button.
I rebooted it and re-ran TWRP in manual again to see if i had selected the incorrect orientation.
screenshot (no outside links for noobs evidently) httpee://i.imgur.com/sqQE3NL.jpg (remove the ee)
But the buttons were still flipped diagonally (Mount = Wipe, Install = Reboot and vice-versa)
I will still consider it a success, atleast i know where to press and will play around with selecting
different orientation options later and update you if i find a combo that works. Thanks again for all your help!

This is for the Exynos SM-G550T and SM-G550T1 models only!
WARNING: Flashing a custom recovery to your device will trip the Knox warranty bit on your phone. Check with your mobile provider to see if they will still cover warranty on Knox bit triggered devices. If you understand this risk, continue on.
WHAT IS TWRP?
Oh come on, you know what it is - don't try to fool me!
In case you're serious, though...
Team Win Recovery Project is a custom recovery for Android devices.
It allows you to back up and restore your data, flash custom ROMs to your device, repair broken file systems, and root your device.
DOWNLOAD
You can find the device page here:
http://teamw.in/devices/samsunggalaxyon5tmobile.html
There is a download link there, as well as instructions on how to flash it.
I highly recommend using Odin to flash when possible.
You can find a zip containing Odin as well as a link to Samsung's Mobile drivers page here:
https://idlekernel.com/flash-tools/
FULL STEPS FOR OBTAINING ROOT
In your ROM, go to Settings -> About device. Tap 7 times on Build number to enable Developer options.

Now go to Settings -> Developer options. (above About device)
You need to enable OEM unlock, otherwise you might end up with boot problems or be unable to flash later on.
Make sure your don't have Factory Reset Protection enabled in your Google account or you may never be able to boot again!
More information: https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/6172890?hl=en
Extract Odin_3.10.7.zip to your computer.
Install Samsung Mobile Phone Drivers for Odin to find your device.
Download a .tar image of TWRP for on5ltetmo.
Reboot your device into Download mode. To do this, select reboot from the power menu and hold the [Volume Down] + [Home] buttons while your device reboots.
Once you reach the Download mode warning screen, press [Volume Up] to continue.
Open Odin and place that TWRP tar file in the [AP] slot, under Options tab disable Auto Reboot, then press [Start].
Once the flash is complete (Odin should tell you in the log, and progress bar on phone should stop), you can pull the battery then place the battery back in. Now hold [Volume Up] + [Home] + [Power] buttons until you reach recovery mode.
If you end up in stock recovery, start again from download mode step.
At this point, you will reach the screen asking you if you want to allow system modifications.
You will want to swipe to allow, otherwise the OS will replace TWRP once you boot!
If you want to be rooted with SuperSU:
Download the latest SuperSU by Chainfire.
Without exiting TWRP, transfer the SuperSU zip to your device over MTP* and flash it using [Install] in TWRP.
Go to [Reboot] -> [System].
* MTP, known as Media Transfer Protocol, is the same way you transfer files from your PC to your device when booted into system.

Works great
Verified working, of course.
Will this trigger a bootloop bc of KNOX?
I just got the on5, which immediately upgraded to 6.0.1. How do you check if your bootloader is unlocked? Whenever I adb reboot into bootloader it just reboots into the normal system and my googlfu is failing to find a way to see it. THe debug info shows
[ro.bootloader]: [G550TUVU1APF1]
i followed this guide and it worked but today after rebooting my device it says custom binary blocked by frp and i cant access recovery mode, only download mode. i need a rom of the vanilla firmware i think. can anyone please help
if you do this and brick your phone (On5) you are ****ed no on has other roms or the stock firmware this is the only twrp i have found (other are outdated) i successfully rooted my phone but when i tried to install xposed my **** bricked :crying: i thought twrp will do it but no .....
Thought I would post a tip for anyone else trying to get this to work as I was completely unable to get my phone to boot into recovery on the first boot up after using Odin (I probably tried 20+ times).
Before pressing Start in Odin, turn off the auto-reboot setting. Once the log shows success on the computer, simply pull the battery to turn off the device. Replace the battery and use the normal Volume Up+Home combination when turning on the phone to go straight to recovery.
This worked like a charm for me and removed a huge headache in the process!

I have one of these phones from T-Mobile fresh out of the box that I got from a promotion. Is there a way to dump the roms without rooting or unlocking? I already have a Galaxy S5 so it's not going to be touched really and used as a backup, but I also don't want to brick it and not have a backup phone.
Model: SM-G550T
Build: MMB29K.G550TUVU1APED
Kernel: 3.10.9-8180604
That's currently what it has running Android 6.01 straight from the box. If there's a way I can help here let me know because I eventually want to root/unlock this thing safely if possible. Until then it's going to sit nice and safe in it's place. :laugh:
That's super nice of you to offer.
Disclaimer: I have no idea what I'm talking about
I think ADB should work for this. Ive tried this with my wife's phone which is identical to mine but I couldn't flash the system.img.. anyways. It'd be nice if someone who knew more than me could confirm if this will work.
1. Enable usb debugging in dev options
2. Get ADB on your pc and go into console in the adb directory
3. Plug the phone in to your computer
4. Type adb shell
5. Type dd=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/RECOVERY of=/external_sd/recovery.img
6. That should put it on your removable SD
7. Type dd=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/SYSTEM of=/external_sd/system.img
The thing is I'm pretty sure this won't work but maybe it will. I have a G550T1 so I doubt it'd help me but it maaay work for the T-Mobile versions. They'd just convert the img into a tar and flash with Odin.
I dont think system.img can be flashed from using dd but it's worth a shot if you don't mind. It is a large file, however, at least 2.5gb.
Hi jcadduono,
thanks for the instruction ....... Seems like all works well, Odin says PASS !, except I am not able to perform the following step :
"Hold [Volume Up] + [Home] buttons near the end of the flash, and keep holding them until you are in recovery."
I tried like 20 times, but after holding "Volume Up + Home", my phone just reboots normally, but does not go into recovery.....
Can you please narrow down for me when I have to push them together to get into TWRP ?
Thx, Good work

Jcadduono is working with me to help provide something for people with something they can use right now. Took me a bit to understand ADB shell and everything along with the phone compiling these img files for hours. After this if all goes well there will be a stock .tar for people to flash their soft bricked phones and fix everything hopefully. So you can pretty much thank them for working with my newbieness for hours to make this possible.

A couple posts above gives good advice here to uncheck the auto reboot box in Odin before you flash then hold the buttons which I think is PWR+Vol-up+Home all together. You'll have to pull your battery ONLY AFTER it finishes and says success along with disconnecting the USB which can still power your phone.
Hi there, thanks for the advise...... I'll try it in the morning.....
At what point do I need to pull the battery and power cable ? Before or after going into TWRP Recovery ? I am a bit confused right now... LOL

When you uncheck the box to not auto-restart after flashing it will just sit there after it flashes TWRP onto your phone. You pull the battery out AFTER it successfully flashes so your phone will power off giving proper time to hold PWR+Vol-Up+Home which will boot into TWRP.
DANG ! Root on Galaxy On5 !
All worked perfect, TWRP installed with Odin and then flashed SuperSU via TWRP and recovery as well as root sticks !!! Perfect,
Thanks to all of you.
PS: the instructions in the OP should be updated so people know to UNCHECK the Auto Reboot, remove battery and USB cable and do the "Volume Up + Home + Power to get into TWRP to flash SuperSU. Also, might be a good idea ( I did it this way ) to download SuperSU before starting the procedure and putting it in the root of Main Memory........ It's easier to flas this way once TWRP is installed.
For those who need to restore full stock, I have Odin flashable firmware for G550T here thanks to a user who worked with me to back it all up from their device: https://idlekernel.com/flash-tools/firmware/on5ltetmo_SM-G550T/G550TUVU1APF1/
It's missing BL (sboot.bin) as BOOTLOADER partition was unavailable for access by kernel.
Do not flash the OPT tar.md5 unless you're absolutely bricked. It contains all the other flashable partitions, ex. EFS.

Hi jcadduono,
thanks for the instruction ....... Seems like all works well, Odin says PASS !, except I am not able to perform the following step :
"Hold [Volume Up] + [Home] buttons near the end of the flash, and keep holding them until you are in recovery."
I tried like 20 times, but after holding "Volume Up + Home", my phone just reboots normally, but does not go into recovery.....
Can you please narrow down for me when I have to push them together to get into TWRP ?
Thx, Good work

Here's a link for stock boot, sbl1, and emmc partitions as well. You'll need 7zip or some archive extractor to unzip it. It's in raw img format after you decompress it.

"Erasing" Loop - Tried Returning to Stock After Converting to US998 from H933
I rooted my phone using LGUP and tried to switch back to stock; hoping to keep root. I flashed all items except "recovery" but then tried to re-flash just the stock recovery, as stated in on one of the posts I found, and now I think I have a paper weight. I made sure to read the instructions a few times before doing things, but guess I missed something, or the instructions I followed aren't for my version or may be outdated?!
I can't get into download mode. The PC doesn't recognize I've even plugged it in. And now it just keeps boot looping showing the Erasing Circle over and over and over.
Anyone here know if I have any hope that once the battery dies, I could plug it in, holding the volume up, and be able to get into download mode? I'm hoping I can... Not a happy camper right now.
I see the thread title now. Let me respond in a few minutes.

You didn't root your phone with LGUP. You rooted your phone with TWRP and Magisk. You used LGUP to convert to US998 so you would have fastboot flash commands to unlock bootloader and install TWRP, so you could then root with Magisk.
Why don't you ask in thread where you were following the directions? Yes, it is tedious and complicated for the H933 -- but the end result is you WANT TWRP custom recovery and Magisk, but you want to eradicate all traces of US998 firmware.
I still don't have any answer to my question though...

I appreciate you taking the time to reply. You are correct in saying I didn't root with LGUP. I mistyped/misspoke. There are so many threads that I read, I can't find the one I was following. I had 15 tabs opened; I freaked out, and so I created a new thread for my problem. My problem doesn't really involve any particular thread now because it's not even booting up - in order for me to do anything.
I see the LG logo.. then sometimes I see the stupid bootloader warning, then back to LG logo for a few seconds and then it says "Erasing" in bold vibrant colouring.. then it shades out barely visible for 10-15 secs. Turns off, then basically repeats.
I know about all the flashable zips for H933.... but ALL of them say NOT to use them to convert back from US998 to H933.
Here is a thread (step 5) which basically everyone else posts also, that says you flash the kdz - everything except recovery - and twrp should be installed. This is not true. I did this about 6 times and could never boot into recovery afterwards. It would erase the phone and go back into setup mode each and every time.
I couldn't find any article to explain how to get back to stock firmware without using the kdz, which I did, and unselecting recovery. When doing so, twrp was gone - despite me not selecting recovery or even recovery.bak sometimes. So what I did was, use LGUP again with the kdz and uncheck everything except recovery and recovery.bak the 2nd time around and bam... now I am stuck.

Who said you couldn't use H933 after US998? You're fine if you use partition DL.
I have gone from US998 to H933 several times.
I'm currently on my commute to work but let me read your issues and see if we can't get you back to normal.
( I'm pretty active in modding our H933 )
Don't touch recovery.bak; only deselect recovery.
So where are you currently?
And after you pull your phone from PC after not selecting recovery are you pulling your phone and trying to master reset to access recovery or letting LGUP auto boot into twrp? Should happen as soon as H933 attempts to boot.

Have you tried Master Reset to stop the boot looping? Master Reset is not factory reset.
Master Reset -- using buttons:
1. Unplug phone and turn it OFF.
2. Press and hold the Power and Volume down buttons.
3. When the LG logo appears, quickly release the Power button only -- then immediately press Power button again, while STILL pressing the Volume down button until you see the screen to select Yes to erase and reset everything.
4. Release both buttons so you can make your choices.
With your device powered off, press and hold the Power button and Volume Down buttons simultaneously for a few seconds.
When the LG logo appears, quickly release and then re-hold the Power button while keep holding the Volume Down button.
Let go of the buttons when the onscreen menu appears.
When you see the option to Delete all user data (including LG and carrier apps) and reset all settings message prompt, press the Volume Down button to highlight Yes.
Then press the Power button to reset the device.
Wait until the reset is complete then reboot your device. If it’s able to boot up successfully, proceed with the initial setup.

You can even do it if you can not power the device off, but you just have to time it right.
This is the most complete guide of what you were probably trying to do, if trying to go back to stock and keep root:

@christopherrrg wrote a "little guide" for the peoples, who may ever have thought about going back to h33 original (rooted or not) sw. Give him some thanks pls, he's now a few nerves lost in this procedure i can imagine :good: thanks!
Here it is:
Okay so the steps below are for AFTER using the WTF thread to convert device and unlock bootloader; these steps are for canadian model users who would prefer to go back to stock canadian kdz with working root and twrp intact.
Step 1 - Attach converted US998 (bl unlocked and twrp installed) to LGUP.
Step 2 - PARTITION DL the canadian kdz but do not include recovery.
Step 3 - Let phone boot right from kdz flash and it will automatically boot TWRP.
Step 4 - While in TWRP; 1st factory reset AND AFTER format data then reboot recovery. (If not done TWRP has mount issues with cache and or system.)
Step 5 - After TWRP is rebooted flash no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip + lg-rctd-disabler-1.0.zip and afterwards flash magisk.
Step 6 - While still in TWRP use the option to power device down.
Step 7 - Attach device to PC while holding vol+ and it will automatically start download mode.
Step 8 - PARTITION DL the canadian kdz again EXCEPT uncheck everything BUT stock recovery; let it flash and reboot.
Step 9 - Should reboot 3 - 4 times.
Step 10 - Once booted to setup; get past then activate USB debugging, also open magisk and click yes as many times as it asks you. (Magisk remains because only RECOVERY is flashed at this point)
Step 11 - Download TWRP and rename to just twrp then place it in the root directory of your internal storage.
Step 11 - Connect device to android debug bridge, and start a shell with 'adb shell' command.
Step 12 - then type 'su' and hit enter in order to gain root privilege. (Will have to click accept on super user on device)
Step 13 - then type 'dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery'
If done correctly you should see flashing (almost like fastboot) however you will not have anything happen to your device graphically SO open magisk and click modules then click reboot to recovery and profit!
You should be on H933 kdz with TWRP and root.
However for some weird reason, cloud is correct as the battery drain is abysmal. My phone used to go from 9am 100% to about 60% by the time I get home at 5pm. Today it's gone down to 22% from 100% at 9am and it's only 2pm. @cloud1250000's brain was mostly picked for this so he deserves any and all credit; I just confirmed and wrote this up for reference.
Enjoy!

Also; I realize my guide in seadersn posts need a bit of an update so I will message him today and have him update as a ton of people are using it for reference and that guide has battery issues. (Without doing dd etc)
Try following this guide to the letter.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/how-to/canadian-h933-compatibility-h930-roms-t3897586
Just replace the latest with 20i (h933)
Make sure to read my post inclusive at the end of that thread; feel free to PM me as well if you can't get anything the way you want it.
Unfortunately I can't do anything with the phone when I connect to my PC with the USB cable - except when holding power and both Cole buttons, i can get it to load a page with the imei number etc.
I can also (by holding power and toggling both volumes) get it to recognize on my PC, but it shows up at QSLoader 9008 (or something like that - I'm at work right now so can't type exactly what it shows up as - but know 100% it says 9008).
I installed QPST and will see if I can flash it this way, after I figure out a way to create/find the firehouse. I found a YT video showing how to create the files needed so will give it ago when I get home.
I am grateful of the replies. I'm sure you get many idiots like myself who do stupid crap - so thank you for always still wanting to help. It must be annoying but us idiots are truly grateful!!

This sounds like what had happened to me with the RSA after flashing modem.bin. I only got lucky because my TWRP flashed successfully and I was able to restore using seadersn stock method. I've never gone as far as actually putting my device into 9008 brick (yet) so unfortunately I'm not much help there and for that I'm sorry. However there is a gent on ebay who will TeamViewer to your PC and fix it for you. A lot of people report it has a different device firmware but they do report success.
Also don't beat yourself up and call yourself an idiot.
Us humans are curious creatures! While it does suck for your device; it's just a speed bump!
Hello,
I've got a Realme 7. Tried to update a ROM, something happened, lost recovery, not it's boot looping.
I understand what I need to do - Reflash stock rom and recovery.
However, I can't get my phone to power off, I can't get the USB filters installed, I can't do anything...
Holding power does nothing, holding vol + and power does nothing...It just keeps looping back to the realme logo.
I assume, if I can get it powered off, I can then hold volume up and down to get libusb to recognize it and then go from there. However, I'm at a loss...
Thanks.

Open the USB filters wizard, and pay attention when the device is trying to boot, you could install it, see which item is added. To completely power off the device, you just have to press the three buttons simultaneously.
Yeah, can't get it to the point where

In the short time it is going to blank screen it is power off, then immediately it is trying to boot, I faced the same a lot of times. A variant, pressing vol up + PWR also device gets off, when device is trying to boot, tap on the item newly added and install it, open firstly the libUSB wizard and keep it open, and visible to you.
Yeah, I can't get it. Doesn't seem to detect that the phone is connected to my computer at all. Nothing shows up in the USB filters...Doesn't seem to matter when I press volume up and down throughout the process...

Install all the previous drivers needed.
Also you have this tool to flash recovery and see from there https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient
To get it work you don´t need the LibUSB32, you have to find the short time device is trying to reboot to press the volume buttons to connect to the tool.

No, it's not dead, I had bricked my device even in a state of no signal of life at all, but I have completely working now, just I lost IMEI cause a bad flashing and back up gone.
You should start by flashing only the stock recovery, so you can try to flash an ozip from there, be sure your device has some charge now and check all the drivers you have installed.
Open device manager in Windows, and connect your PC while you are pressing buttons and so, and check how it is listed there.
This is preloader mode:

hold volume + and power button for while, as soon as the screen turns off leave the button. your phone will successfully turn off. and to solve the problem. you need to download the official firmware which have scatter file and Remember to backup your NV data OR any NV RAM before flashing or you will loose IMEI number because of which many people are facing IMEI problem including me.. So after backup Flash the firmware with format all or re-partition and will successfully boot up. remember to restore NV DATA/NV RAM. you can use unlock tool to flash the firmware.
Same problem here... I change my Chinese GT2 Pro to Global, everythings fine, but when I tried to lock the bootloader a message apears saying the flash was broken or something and now it keeps flashing the "realme Powered by android" for 0,5 a sec and rebooting again and again and again... can't do absolute nothing...

Recover from what? There are many users including me that recovered the 99% of its functionalities. If you are referring to the IMEI, then, yes, and not, it´s not possible by any tools that available for end users, but it can be done through specialized hardware tools.

Recover that:
Bash:
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot.exe flash recovery corrupted_recovery.img
fastboot.exe flash vbmeta corrupted_vbmeta.img
fastboot.exe boot corrupted_recovery.img
After this, the phone is on boot looping, and because the looping, the usb is reconfiguring all the time (I was unable to get time enough to connect using adb or fastboot)

Just search in the forum, there is not a guide all-in-one, but everything you need is here.
From unlock the bootloader, either officially or unofficially, using mtk-client, updating the drivers through Lib-USB, device filter, flashing every partition using the same tool or SP Flash tool.
Just a side note, Physical button don´t have to do with software issues, device not entering to a specific mode, is not because physical buttons are supposedly, not responding, but this stage is missing or unavailable. There are many posts and guides about unbricking this device, just search thoroughly through the forum.
