Well I have Never Tested This On ANy Another Device Except For LG L90 D410
If you want to try this on your Lg L90 D405n i recommend to get a kdz file for your model as a backup
To download KZD for you Device GOTO lg-firmware-rom.com
Enter IMEI no of your device.
TO GET THE IMEI OF YOUR PHONE go to About Phone in settings and get your imei no or else remove the battery and see there it will be written.

Are u still facing the issue sorry for late reply i was busy with work
I don't think so those are two completely different variants
Hi,
I search the recovery.img of Oukitel K10.
I have make OEM Unlock, and I can get fastboot.
I have find many fake websites to hot to do this, but realy don't trust (last time I have brick my K10000 Pro).
The better way is now to "fastboot boot test.img" and see if my phone boot before flash anything.
But I dont find a recvery.img who boot my phone
I have the "fake" ROM (I search inside, and it's seem match as mine)
The other problem is SP flash tools don't want to get me my NVRAM ...
Anyone have root is K10 ? (I have a brick until my device is not root, I don't use it in stock ROM !)
So I finaly test the "normal" way, whit the SP Flash tool method, and it's works.
I don't know why, when I fastboot the image, the phone won't boot, but whith flashtools, it's works.
I have now My Oukitel K10 rooted, and cleaned
So, what did you use to root it?
Yea can u tell us how you did it atep by step. My flashlight its not working andi cant hear a thing on Bluetooth... Need to root this.. or someone else knows how to fix it?
I actually found a step-by-step guide here:
https://www.getdroidtips.com/twrp-recovery-oukitel-k10/
But, i got stuck at downloading the image over my phone,.... i never get green light after flashing....
The phone functions normal, after... because nothing flashed i guess...
And that guide is incomplete, you need to first disable digitally signed drivers check, otherwise the preloader won't work at all...
Did anyone else try it?
What do you guys get?
Mind to share your knowledge? How you obtain your Oukitel K10 rooted cleaned?
I've got this phone today. Here is my quick root procedure.
1. Prepare a magnifiying glass for reading messages on your phone.
2. Download SuperSU (ZIP) and TWRP for oukitel k10.
This one works for me (OKITEL_K10_V121_20180112).
3. Reboot to bootloader.
VOL-DOWN+POWER
4. Unlock bootloader. It will destroy /data now.
fastboot oem unlock
# VOL-UP confirm
5. Reboot to system, then reboot to bootloader again.
6. Flash recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
7. Reboot to recovery
# Hold VOL-UP
fastboot reboot
8. Format /data again
because no one knows password
9. Install SuoperSU.zip
Advanced - sideload -swipe # <-- on phone
adb sideload SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip # <-- on computer
10. Reboot to system, setup and install SuperSU from market.
Now you should have root.

Can anyone share recovery img file? I cant find anywhere.
Hi, you need Vol-up+Power.
It takes about 11 seconds on my phone.
Choose Fastboot mode with Vol-up and
confirm selection with Vol-down.

Anyone know how install cleaned rom?
I keep getting bootloops as soon as I try to flash Magisk. I have no trouble flashing and starting up TWRP, but after flashing I can´t reboot to system. I also get the warning from my Pc when I connect my phone that it doesn´t recognize it. It reboots fine if I don´t flash anything. Any help? I also tried the steps on page 1 (Bootloader is successfully unlocked).
SuperSu works, but fails Safety Net, that´s why I want Magisk.

Hey there and sorry for the late response. What steps did you do so far? Is your bootloader unlocked already? Or are you at the start and this is your first try? If it is your first try, here is a step by step guide on what to do and what you will need.
What you need:
1. The SP Flash Tool and its drivers. You can find them on the Oukitel website or in the internet. Search for SP Flash Tool and download the latest. For the drivers it´s best to get them from Oukitel. Lower right side of their website and then click Latest software Rom and choose the K10.
2. The adb and fastboot drivers. Search them on the internet.
3. Your Smartphone.
4. A computer and the data cable.
5. The SuperSU 2.82 S3 files from chainfire. Again, search them on the internet.
6. The TWRP Image from this thread.
If you have everything, you do the following:
1. If you have used your phone already, safe everything you want to keep on your computer! You will have to erase your data at least once in the process!
2. Turn your phone on and go to settings.
3. Then tap on About your phone and scroll all the way down to see its build number.
4. Tap on that 7 times in a row to get the message: Congratulations you are now a developer. Go back to the settings to see a new option, the developer options.
5. Go to the developer options and tap on allow oem unlock and also tap on enable debugging options.
6. Leave the settings and connect your phone to your computer. Push the SuperSU file to your sd card (Magisk unfortunately does not seem to work and results in a bootloop at least for me).
7. On your computer, go to the folder where you saved the adb.exe and fastboot.exe. Hold shift and open a power shell or command window in there (don´t actually know the steps for a Mac or Linux computer, sry).
8. Now type adb devices and confirm the access on your phone. If your phone doesn´t show up or there is no confirmation message on your phone, type adb kill-server and then adb devices.
9. Once your phone is confirmed, you type adb reboot-bootloader.
10. Now type fastboot oem unlock and press the volume up button on your phone to confirm the bootloader unlock.
11. Your phone will now erase your data (internal storage only, your sd card will not be touched, but may need to be set up and formatted again if it was used to extend the internal storage).
12. On your computer, type fastboot reboot and set up your phone again (just the basics, because you will have to erase it again). Don´t forget to turn on the debugging mode again.
13. Open up the SP Flash Tool on your computer and choose the scatter file from the twrp image (custom recovery). Only recovery should be ticked. Hit the download all button, connect your phone to computer and turn off the phone. Now wait till there is a green hook on your computer. This means, the download has been successfull.
14. Get to recovery mode on your phone by holding the volume up and power button at the same time and choose the first option, then hit the volume down button to enter recovery mode.
15. From here, go to the settings in the upper right corner and choose your language (ignore the message of the password and hit back).
16. Now go to Wipe and format your data.
17. Hit the restart button and press Recovery. Allow it to modify the system and pull the slider.
18. Now go to Install, choose your sd card and press SuperSU. Let it run through the process. Then restart and press system. First time the boot may take a while, so be patient.
19. Set up the phone and enjoy your root.
Magisk 17.1
Magisk 17.1 install AS IS, no warranty, no testing (yet).
!!! You can lose your data or brick your phone !!!
0. Don't try default install or upgrade via MagiskManager - you'll get bootloop.
1. You can try this boot-magisk.img (AIK repacked with force encryption and dm-verity enabled).
It works for me, but I did factory reset before trying.
- boot.img comes from OUKITEL_K10_V12_20180112.rar (I'm not sure about file's source)
fastboot flash boot boot-magisk.img
2. If your phone freeze on Oukitel logo, don't touch it. Wait.
If you stop phone here, you'll lose your data.
There is no way back - it starts data encryption.
3. If it fails, try flashing stock boot back and factory reset your phone.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
That modified boot.img did the trick. What did you modify to make it work?
The forced encryption, however, is annoying. Is there a possibility to undo that?

MY SPECS
I'm using the Redmi K20 Pro running Android version 9 PKQ1.181121.001 (patched July 1, 2109) and MIUI Global 10.3.5. I am in the United States and I have Verizon as my cellular service provider. On the Redmi K20 Pro in the United States, Verizon is compatible with LTE/GSM (and CDMA, but I learned that Verizon is phasing out CDMA).
BOOTLOADER & UNLOCKING
Let me start by thanking Jumundz who saved my ass when I bricked my phone. More on that below...
"ALL IN ONE" TOOL
The following guide details how to root your phone manually. If you already understand the process, or want to tweak some of the steps, I recommend using:
ALL IN ONE tool. / (mediafire alternative link)
...or...
Xiaomi ADB Fastboot Tools (this is the current version, 2.3.1)
DEVELOPER MODE & USB DEBUGGING
To start, we need to enable Developer Mode.
Go to Settings and then click on About phone.
Then tap "MIUI version" several times (5-7 taps) until a notification reads "You are now a developer."
Go back into the main Settings menu and scroll down until you see Additional settings.
Click on Additional settings and then scroll down until you see Developer options
Click on Developer options. Here you will find a number of options that are not commonly available. If you have not unlocked your device yet, you will notice that OEM unlocking is turned off and also greyed out so that you cannot click on it. Instructions for unlocking your device can be found below.
Scroll down and tap USB debugging.
** Optional ** I also tap Install via USB just in case I want to use that down the road.
After enabling Developer Mode, connect your phone to your computer with a USB cable. (*NOTE* Some USB cables only charge your device. Make sure your USB cable is designed to permit data transfer as well.) A notification will pop up on your phone asking if you would like to allow the connection for USB debugging. Press "YES" so that the computer and phone will recognize each other in the future.
OFFICIAL MIUI UNLOCK
As many of you know, Xiaomi created obstacles for those wishing to unlock the bootloader. Xiaomi claims they created the waiting period to "deter resellers from loading shady firmware into their devices" (LINK). So, I created a Mi Account and then made the unlock request with the official MIUI unlocking tool Mi Unlock. The program that downloaded (at least for me) through the official site was miflash_unlock-en-3.5.719.27.zip
MI ACCOUNT BYPASS TOOLS?
Since unlocking my device through the official pathway, I read that you can bypass this process using other tools. ** Disclaimer ** I have not personally used these tools! XiaoMiTool (version 1) is discussed in this XDA article, but recommends using XiaoMiTool V2(Download link to the latest version of XiaoMiTool V2). XiaomiBuzz suggests using the Mi Account Unlock Tool. Here is a link to the Mi Account Unlock download file (the password required to unpack the .rar file that downloads is ourflashfile.com).
JUST IN CASE: THE MOST IMPORTANT TOOL
** Disclaimer ** You may not need this section, but if you run into problems (like I did) this is your salvation.
After a few failed attempts at rooting my Redmi K20 Pro, I flashed my device and found myself needing to unlock the bootloader (again). However, when I tried, I ran into an error message that read "you must wait 30 days before unlocking another device." Some of you have run into this problem if you accidentally lock your device while using Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools or TOOL ALL IN ONE (discussed later in this guide). Luckily, I found a thread by Jumundz (LINK) that indicated that an older version of MiFlash Unlocker (version 2.2.406.5) would still unlock my device. Thankfully it did!
GET THE STUFF YOU NEED
There are several sites that suggest to offer the best way to root your device. I have tried many of them and very few have worked (it's possible that I messed up the process somewhere). Whatever... this worked for me...
Generally, I followed this guide posted on AndroidInfoTech.com. I am, however, making some recommended changes.
XIAOMI USB DRIVERS
Start by getting the USB drivers. XiaomiBuzz has a pretty comprehensive list of all Xiaomi phones and their respective USB drivers (HERE). But, here is a link to the Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro USB Driver Package for Windows 7/8/8.1/10 (32/64-bit). Scroll down and select the download link.
Alternatively, you could download the Xiaomi Mi PC Suite through mi.com and install the drivers through that program. The version I used was 2.2.0.7032_2717.
Go ahead and install the Xiaomi USB drivers.
ADB & FASTBOOT
Next you'll need to setup ADB & Fastboot. You must have USB Debugging enabled for either of these platforms to work properly. See above for instructions on USB Debugging. Both ADB and Fastboot are utilized through the command line, so I was confused me for the longest time on when to use each one. In fact, I had trouble getting ADB to work, but Fastboot worked fine. Turns out the reverse is more common (people tend to have problems with Fastboot, but not ADB).
Here's the difference:
ADB: This is the platform that you can use when your phone is turned on normally (booted into the system). So, if you can see your your normal phone screens, then ADB will work.
FASTBOOT: Note that you can still use Fastboot when your phone is turned on normally, BUT you cannot use ADB when your phone is in Fastboot mode.
Get the latest ADB Driver Installer from miui.blog. This will install ADB and Fastboot. The current version of the ADB Driver Installer (for me) was 1.4.3. (Alternative download through Mega.nz).
Alternatively (and I recommend this instead), you can get the Android Platform Tools Pack for Windows which comes with the Google USB drivers, ADB, Fastboot, and the ADB/Fastboot drivers. Download it from miui.blog here, or through Mega.nz here.
Go ahead and install the file package you have chosen. Once installed, ADB and Fastboot should be able to be used universally (from anywhere on your PC). Just know that many installation guides suggest installing ADB into a special folder on your C: drive which is fine too. We will come back to this folder to run some commands later in the guide.
TWRP
You'll need TWRP which is a recovery (or "temp") operating system that will run on your phone when you're attempting to root your device. However, TWRP doesn't have an official version specific to the Redmi K20 Pro. Luckily, XDA Member madsponge26 has a list of TWRP options that will work for the Redmi K20 Pro in this thread. I recommend going with the TWRP Auto Install option. You can also download a compatible TWRP image from androidfilehost.com. Here's a link to version-3.3.1-13-raphael.
Once downloaded, extract the .zip file. It should contain 5 or 6 files. Copy all of the files and paste them into the ADB folder (if you're sticking with my recommendation, it will be the "platform-tools" folder). When you copy-and-paste these files, it may ask you if you want to replace some files with the same names. That's fine (they're the same). Just click "Yes." If you downloaded the TWRP image separately (say, from androidfilehost.com), just copy the twrp.img file into the same folder.
MAGISK
Next download Magisk.zip from the official Magisk github.com page. The latest version (for me) was Magisk v19.4. Don't bother unzipping it. This .zip file will be placed (as a .zip file) onto your phone.
DISABLE FORCE ENCRYPTION TREBLE
Also download Disable-Force-Encryption-Treble.zip. Like Magisk.zip, don't bother unzipping this file because you're going to place it (as a .zip file) onto your phone. Here's a Dropbox link to directly download the file. Otherwise you can download it from Androidfilehost.com.
FLASHING TWRP & ROOTING
Alright, you got all the software tools and now we're ready to proceed with flashing TWRP and Magisk.
With your phone powered on normally, plug your device into your computer with the USB cable.
Pull down on the screen to display the notifications. One of them should read "Android System" and indicate how the phone is interacting with your computer as a connected device. Switch it to "File Transfer." Your phone should now show up as a drive on your computer.
Open the "Redmi K20 Pro" drive on your computer and then open the "Internal shared storage" folder (it should be the only folder).
Drag and drop the Magisk.zip and the Disable-Force-Encryption-Treble.zip into that folder.
**SIDE NOTE: Some guides suggest that you wait until you're in TWRP to transfer these files. That's fine. To do so, wait until you're in the TWRP interface and then select "Mount" and "Enable MTP." Your phone's internal storage should appear as a device on your computer and you can then transfer the .zips.
Once transferred, unplug your phone from the computer and power it off.
Enter into Fastboot mode by pressing and and holding down the Volume Down button and the Power button at the same time. It may take several seconds. It will vibrate and then boot your phone into Fastboot mode.
Next, connect your phone to your computer with the USB cable.
Once you connect your phone to the computer via USB, you should hear the computer recognize the phone but you may not see it show up as a drive. That's okay.
Go to your computer and open a command line interface in the ADB folder (if you're sticking with my recommendation, it will be the "platform-tools" folder).
**NOTE: If you chose the Auto Install option of TWRP, you can simply double-click the file "flash_twrp.bat" and then skip to the next section (TWRP INTERFACE).
**TRICK: Go to the folder where you have the ADB file adb.exe and click in the file pathway (where it says "C:\Users\Username\Downloads\platform-tools_r29.0.4-windows\platform-tools" or whatever). Highlight and delete that file pathway, and instead type "cmd". Hit enter and it will open a terminal window already in the proper directory.
**SIDE NOTE: If you installed ADB/Fastboot universally, you can simply open the command line interface by clicking on Start and typing "cmd" to open a terminal window. Once in the terminal window, you can "cd" or change directory to the one where you have ADB. Also, you can use Powershell, but you may need to preference each Fastboot command with "./."
In that terminal window, make sure you're in the folder with adb.exe and then type this command:
fastboot devices
This command looks to make sure that the Fastboot platform recognizes your device. Next to "Fastboot Devices," you should see a series of numbers and letters. That series of numbers and letters is your phone identifier.. If you do not see any numbers/letters, then Fastboot does not see your phone and you need to troubleshoot the situation.
Next, type in the following command:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
What this is doing is identifying what platform to use (fastboot), telling it what you want to do (flash), in which directory you want to perform that action (recovery), and what file to use to flash it (twrp.img). It is important to note that, depending on how you installed TWRP, the .IMG file may be called "recovery.img" or "twrp.img" or some variation of the TWRP version number. You can either rename the file to "twrp.img" or you can type in the entire filename.
Once you hit enter, it will read something like:
target reported max download size of 805306368 bytes
sending 'recovery' (65536 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.437s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.254s]
finished. total time: 1.696s
Once it's finished, enter this command to boot into the temporary TWRP recovery operating system:
fastboot boot twrp.img
Once you hit enter, it will read something like:
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.428s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.138s]
finished. total time: 1.566s
TWRP INTERFACE
Unplug your phone from the USB. The screen will go black and you may see the "Redmi" logo come on the screen. After a few seconds, the TWRP title page will appear. Once the TWRP operating system powers on, you may be presented with the option to enter a PIN code (if you previously had one on your phone) or a passcode. Enter the PIN or code to get into the TWRP interface.
Once in TWRP, you will have several options. Click "Install" and scroll to the bottom of the file list to find the magisk.zip that you transferred onto your phone. Go ahead and swipe right to install it. Once the installation is complete, click "Reboot System" to power the phone back on normally.
That's it. Your Redmi K20 Pro should now be rooted.
If there are any problems, start the process over from the Fastboot interface on your computer (where you flashed TWRP onto your phone with "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"). Go through the same process, but before you install the Magisk.zip, first install the Disable-Force-Encryption-Treble.zip.
If this was helpful, please consider buying me a beer!

Hi guys,
You know if this guide works with the European rom 10.3.3?
Thanks

This should work but realistically all you really need to do is get all the drivers than go ahead and use mi flash tool to go to 10.3.16 fastboot Rom, can be found at mifirm, then go ahead and flash it make sure to select clean all, NOT clean all and Lock. (it's selected by default). Then proceed to install twrp, and flash any Rom you like, there are some modules for getting back nfc and Gpay so look around for them on here and boom you're all set.
Make sure you have an unlocked bootloader first obviously, after that it's relatively simple to install twrp, and after that it's smooth sailing. You just can't flash on stock European firmware as all these ROMs are based on the Chinese or Indian firmwares and vendors, and as a result will brick your phone,if you try to flash on 10.3.3. Trust me I've done it before and it's not fun.
Good luck :fingers-crossed:

Well you should realistically read the forums but this is basically what I did
1. Unlock Bootloader using official mi unlock tool, (make an acc. wait a week or so)
2. Get the mi flash tool preferably latest, download fastboot Rom CN 10.3.16 from mifirm (Google it)
3.Go to fastboot mode in phone plug it in, press refresh for port to be detected, extract the mifirm Rom to desktop select the second folder before images option
4. Flash the fastboot Rom make sure to select clean all, DO NOT FLASH CLEAN ALL AND LOCK. (Will brick your phone and you'll be sticked with a locked bootloader)
5. Flash process takes 5 mins roughly, boot in setup lockscreen pass remember it for twrp setup.
6. Flash twrp via fastboot or adb, use the raphael variant latest found on the forum
7. Boot into twrp and enter screen lock to decrypt phone
8. Download any Rom and GAPPS, flash them and you should boot just fine.
Proceed to install magisk, and any other modules you want (vanced, Gpay, etc)
There is a 10.3.17 version for Chinese fastboot Rom available not sure of its compatibility so don't bother just stick to 10.3.16
Very simple once you have an unlocked bootloader just be careful when using the mi flash tool.
Good luck :good:

I used CN 10.3.17 version and works fine.
Not working?
Hey, i tried doing this but the phone does not boot into TWRP after i send
fastboot boot "C:\Users\loren\Desktop\Root Mi9T\twrp-3.3.1-13-raphael-mauronofrio.img"
Click to expand...

Instead, it reboots to system, then when i reboot it again it does a couple of bootloops then enters Mi Recovery; to get it to work again i have to wipe all data.
Any ideas? I'm on MIUI 10.3.2.0 EU

Nevermind, i fixed it - instead of sending that i sent a simple fastboot reboot while pressing volume up. Booted into TWRP, installed disable-encryption and magisk, cleaned cache, and rebooted like a charm.
Thank you for the guide!
I tried to flash twrp on my mi9 t pro miui 10.3.2 global ( for some reason that's the latest ota i got don't know if its a fake rom ) , but can't get to recovery , i tried some versions of twrp but can't get to it with vol + and power button. I get 1st logo than screen fades to black , 1 time it took me to miui recovery.
By the way the miui version im on don't have the option to manually update ( manually select the update zip ),
Does this make it a fake rom?
Also if i try to install from the latest package from the updarer app can it fix my missing miui recovery or brick my phone?
Don't use XiaomiTools v2, my OS was corrupted and stuck at Mi logo after attempting to unlock bootloader and flash TWRP recovery.
Better to do so using official mi unlock to unlock bootloader and ADB fastoot to flash TWRP
I used xiaomi tool v2 to unlock boolader, install twrp and xiaomi eu beta (9.10.17). The tool did it all for me, no drivers, no adb no commands used, nothing else but the tool (xiaomi mi 9t pro eea, windows 10)
Try this for MIUI 11
Install the ADB-Fastboot USB Driver.
Unlock the bootloader of your phone.
Flash TWRP on Redmi K20 Pro / Mi 9T Pro. You may also use Wzsx150’s TWRP if you want; it’s in Chinese tho.
Download Xiaomi.eu MIUI 11 ROM from the link above.
Reboot your phone to the TWRP Recovery mode.
Choose Wipe > Format Data then type Yes to confirm.
Copy the Xiaomi.eu MIUI 11 Zip file to your phone.
Choose Install > locate the ROM Zip file > Swipe to confirm flash.
Choose Reboot > System.
Set up Google Account and you are good to go.

It would be nice if this worked for me........followed every single step and it will not boot into TWRP, it either gets stuck in a boot loop or it goes to the build in MiRecovery, and to get around this i need to force wipe the phone with MiRecovery, i quite literally am not allowed to install TWRP so i gotta go the other route to install Magisk and root my phone.......on EU version of the K20 pro if anybody else is having this issue or knows a fix.
I can't boot into TWRP.
Bootloader is unlocked.
I tried both TWRP, auto Install and version-3.3.1-13-raphael. Both install with "OK". On any of them when I send fastboot boot twrp.img I get again OK's, the screen goes black and it just stay there... any ideas? thanks!
Edit: yesterday I installed OTA update and then I did the bootloader unlock. I discovered in settings that my USB developer was not enabled (disabled after update/or unlock) - could this be a reason for TWRP not working?
Thanks for the guide. Couldn't install Magisk 20.1 via "TWRP 3.3.1-22 Unofficial by mauronofrio", however, was able to do it through TWRP 3.3.1-21.
K20 Pro India on MIUI 11.0.1.0.
Note: in the command 'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img' I thought 'recovery' was the source (computer) folder, but it was actually specifying the folder in the destination (phone).

intersting :what you mean by ##Note: in the command 'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img' I thought 'recovery' was the source (computer) folder, but it was actually specifying the folder in the destination (phone).[/QUOTE]
## i do as always flash the twrp via cmd
1- fastboot devices
2- fast flash recovery " recoveryname.img "
3- fastboot reboot like that
what source you ?
The OP does a great job of explaining what each command does. If you're used to DOS commands, then when you issue a command that has a file name (eg: copy), you would specify a 'source directory' and a 'destination directory'. If the command contains only a single directory, then you won't get to know whether it's supposed to be a source directory or destination, unless it's specified explicitly. That's what I meant. But I guess if you know your way around android adb commands and such, you wouldn't have that confusion. I'm kinda new to this, so it wasn't obvious to me.

Don´t resolved
My phone is also like this, asks the 30 days so I can solve the brick, tried mi unlock 2.2.406.5 but it also did not work. Someone help, I don't want to wait 30 days.When I take the internet cable to try tbm, it says error unknown (-1)
first I want to thank quantan to help me to telegram to finish my hope to this phone. i dont know which kernel (dragonfly kernel) is used for. But i can necessary to root my device.
I still want to thank some guys: @SGCMarkus for his guide of building TWRP, @erickg for bringing new TWRP to G8 which supports F2FS , especially @cloud1250000 and Seasee606 for their ultimate guide for Unlock Boot loader and root
Thank topjohnwu for exellent root/systemless.
I want to show you all the trick with this phone. (Sorry for my bad english but you all can help to improve my english )
First, I am not responsible for any problems from using this guide that cause brick, deathphone, bla bla etc.. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
So come to my guide and you take your own responsibility!
My phone using is Lg G8 Lg g820N from Kor. In kor has 3 carrier so that my guide is for Lg U+. But i think Other carrier still OK.
These guide is for Android 10 Lg G8 ONLY:
1. Un-bootloop.
Bootloop appear when we flash wrong boot, system, ubl file... But i think bootloop cause by flash wrong boot is your reason. I strongly recommend that you must NOT remove ANY system apps because it causes bootloop after reset and I have no way to boot. I successfully recovery my phone but I cant root again .
So, I want to guide you how did I recover my phone. and got root again
this is the link that save the day: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...nlock-and-magisk-root-using-firehose.4221793/
With alive G8 phone:
Step 1: Install QFIL driver: (just intall in C: ) https://www.mediafire.com/file/2czhxpwy0fc5bvj/QPST_2.7.496.zip/file
And https://www.mediafire.com/file/morxwzh5s69s84r/QUD.WIN.1.1_Installer-10037.3_Setup.exe/file
Step 2: Boot you phone into EDL: Plug in computer, Hold Vol- and Power, when the phone screen turns off to restart begin quickly pressing the vol+ but keep holding vol- and power.
Here is a youtube video of how to boot to EDL:
You can make sure that your phone is in EDL by plugging your phone to your pc and checking the Device Manager > Ports > Qualcom HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM#)
Step 3: Open QFIL: C:\Program Files (x86)\Qualcomm\QPST\bin\QFIL.exe
Choose port => select flat build => browser to this download file in meta build: prog_ufs_firehose_sm8150_lge https://www.mediafire.com/file/r65xw7ewcf9zdqx/prog_ufs_firehose_sm8150_lge.elf/file

Find abl_a and right click on it and select Manage Partition Data. Click Read to backup your abl_a.
Go to Windows Explorer and go to C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Qualcomm\QFIL\COMPORT# (# is number com that computer show you)
Rename your ReadData_ufs_Lun4.bin to abl_a.bin
Do the same with abl_b, boot_a, and boot_b. Then copy these file to a safe location to avoid bootloop when you flash something in future.
abl_a, abl_b is for unlock bootloader
boot_a, boot_b is for boot, magisk root in future.
Here is my 2 versions backed up these file: 1 for Android 10 version u: https://www.mediafire.com/file/fdx1a0xs1fubukv/COMPORT_13.rar/file , and ther latest version v: https://www.mediafire.com/file/kxlqbh3klq0jbou/lg_backup.rar/file
Here is the way to un-bootloop: Use QFIL with EDL mode in phone: Click Tools > Partition Manager.
right click on boot_a again then select Manage Partition Data, then Select Load and choose the boot_a my backup file.
Do the same with boot_b
Close the patition box, wait until it own reboot EDL after 5 seconds
Restart phone by press and hold: Vol - and Power and unplug to escape EDL mode.
Now you have success recovery your phone.
If you got another phone, just asked other memer for helping you back up those boot a and boot b files.
2. Up stock rom.
MUST flash in alive phone.
https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-lmg820n-firmwares/
download your favorite device rom and put rom in C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP
Install LGUP (install everything on it): https://www.mediafire.com/file/v9wlzvvjmbjjuzm/LG_UP.rar/file
Copy this file https://www.mediafire.com/file/iyw123ddwcv39ph/common.rar/file
to C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model
example: C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\common\ LGUP_Common.dll
enter download mode by press Vol + and plug in PC
click LGUP to flash: You can choose refurbish, upgrade, bla bla by your exp.
My choose is update because I want to use latest (latest rom has security patch latest) you take a long time to update rom and get root longer.
It will restart after flashing.
*failed to enter download mode: you got bootloop. MUST fix bootloop first.
3. Unlock bootloader.
Go to Settings > System > About Phone > Software Info > Tap Build Number 7 Times.
Go back to Settings > System > Developer Options. Check Enable OEM Unlock
Boot you phone into EDL
You can make sure that your phone is in EDL by plugging your phone to your pc and checking the Device Manager > Ports > Qualcom HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM#)
Hold Vol- and Power, when the phone screen turns off to restart begin quickly pressing the vol+ but keep holding vol- and power. (press 3-4 times quickly)
Use QFIL when enter EDL mode.
Click Tools > Partition Manager.
Find abl_a and right click on it and select Manage Partition Data. Click Read to backup your abl_a.
Go to Windows Explorer and go to C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Qualcomm\QFIL\COMPORT# (# is number com that computer show you)
Rename your ReadData_ufs_Lun4.bin to abl_a.bin
Do the same with abl_b.bin
Close Partition Manager. Your phone will reboot to EDL on its own after pressing OK. Wait on that.
Go back to Partition Manager and right click on abl_a again then select Manage Partition Data, then Select Load and choose the abl file: https://www.mediafire.com/file/xeid3x0ayastjwn/abl_a.bin/file
Do the same for abl_b.
Close Partition Manager. Your phone will reboot to EDL on its own after pressing OK. Wait on that.
Reboot to Fastboot. Hold Vol- and Power then release power when reboot starts and keep holding vol-
If that doesn't work unplug and Power off your phone. Hold vol- and plug it in. It should go into fastboot.
Once your phone is in Fastboot it should say
Device State: Locked and Active A/B Slot - _a or _b
remember whichever slot your device says and stay on that slot, you may risk bricking if you change to the other slot. You also need this for Root later.
Extract the ADB.zip: https://www.mediafire.com/file/3js0tmdypw1b70q/adb.zip/file
Paste your backup abl_a and abl_b to this folder
open a Command Prompt and change the directory to the adb folder you just extracted
for example:
cd C:\adb
run fastboot devices in that command prompt. it should show "LMG820N fastboot"
Run:
fastboot oem unlock
Select Unlock The Bootloader with your arrow keys and press the Power Button
Reboot back to the Bootloader. Unplug your phone, Power off, Hold Vol-, then Plug it in.
Your phone should say Device State – unlocked now
In adb command prompt: do sequance
fastboot flash abl_a abl_a.bin
fastboot flash abl_b abl_b.bin
fastboot reboot
It will show you when restart that it locks bootloader but never mind it is unlocked bootloader
4. Root Using magisk:
Download and install magisk manager: https://magiskmanager.com/downloading-magisk-manager
Remember A/B slot in fastboot last step.
Paste boot_a or boot_b in sd card or in internal storage. In magisk manager, choose: setting of magisk => options click next (keep tick) => select and patch a file (choose your last copy boot_a or boot_b) => next …
You will find patched boot root with magisk named magisk_patched#####.img in download folder in internal storage.
Copy to your pc that file.
Reboot to EDL
Open QFIL. Click Tools > Partition Manager.
Find the slot you are on from the fastboot bootloader earlier and right click on either boot_a or boot_b and select Manage Partition Data.
Click Load and select the magisk_patched#####.img file you transfered from your phone.
Wait for it to finish then Close Partition Manager. Your phone will reboot to EDL on its own after pressing OK. Wait on that.
Reboot to System by holding vol- and power till your phone reboots out of EDL then release both.
Your phone is now Root. It is built-in root with your system .
5. Flash TWRP: Using Magisk manager to flash this file: just copy this file to sd or internal storage

I have a LG G8 thinq G820N U+ firmware. the phone never enters fastboot mode because it's refurbished. Is there a way to enable fastboot?
When I get to unlock my bootloader, does it mean I can change my firmware version from KT to OPEN?

Same problem dude, I was able to execute all the steps until the fastboot one, my phone can't boot to fastboot. I even tried booting it via cmd but still no luck.
Any help from anybody? Thanks
First you can use adb with command adb fastboot
You have to enter developer unlock.
If you cant go to fastboot by adb you have no luck. And you cant by pass bootloader by unlock them.
How do you ota upgrade when bootloader unlocked?
메지스크까지 진행 해서 무사히 부팅이 성공 되었는데 메지스크 앱에서 인식이 안되는것 같습니다. 어떻게 해결하는지 혹시 아시나요? 매지스크 앱에서 boot.bin에 패치 해서 해당 파일을 QFIL을 통해 플래싱 했습니다
Hello,
This is nice, thank you.
I have a G820N. It can read my SIM card (I have to enter the sim card PIN on each restart), but the signal seems locked. Is there any way to fix it? Thanks
Hello everyone, this is my first post here, I'm planning on buying a phone with high specs, good camera and the possibility to access root so my attention went to Xiaomi 12T Pro.
I've seen a two-weeks old post on reddit where some guy with this same phone asked for help and ultimately managed to root it using magisk, however the 12T pro has a snapdragon chipset and from my last experience (about 6 years ago) snapdragon devices can't be rooted? Maybe that guy had the normal 12 pro and got confused with the name?
Anyway I have a laptop so if there's a possibility/potential in the future to root this phone I might as well buy it.
If you want I can also link the reddit post so you can give it a look.
Thanks everyone.
Edit: thanks for the answers, when I buy this phone an root it I can let you know how it went.

Just confirming: in the TWRP page, the 12T Pro is not listed as a compatible device (https://twrp.me/Devices/Xiaomi/).
Will the provided version of the TWRP work? I would like to avoid boot loops or even a hard brick.
And, would Orange Fox work too? Could you point us the correct version?
TIA.
Just did as instructed and it works. Only bummer is that twrp is in Chinese. I did google a youtube video and followed instructions to change language. So far all good.
Do OTA updates still work after rooting? Or what is the process to upgrading once rooted?

You mean "fastboot devices", as it is already in fastboot
booting to recovery ended in error for me " FAILED (Status read failed (Too many links))" which led to bootloop.
I reflashed original ROM and I will try flashing.
flashing the recovery went as sharp as possible.
I do not recommend to boot into recovery before flashing it.

I didn't tried to boot without installing, I think there is a problem with A/B slots. On devices without B slot booting in TWRP should work as intended.

Provided version works on my device (Mi 12T Pro, Global ROM). Hardbrick is impossible if flashing TWRP in recovery partition.
I didn't found compatible Orangefox recovery
There are 3 versions of TWRP:
BOOT:
Command:
fastboot boot twrp.img
powershell
./fastboot boot twrp.img
then in Twrp go to Advanced -> flash current TWRP
REC:
Update with existing TWRP.
gold
CMD
fastboot flash recovery_ab twrp.img***
powershell
./fastboot flash recovery_ab twrp.img***
BOOT REC:
Both methods
On this thread the proposed version is REC.
***Remove lock screen security and reboot to decrypt data then install TWRP.
Reboot with the buttons combination and not with a fastboot command
Update REC
twrp-3.7.0_12-v6.5_A12-diting-skkk.img

Then reboot TWRP
No need TWRP for Rooting
Root:
1. Find or redownload the TGZ file for your current ROM
2. Browse inside the zip file and find boot.img under the images folder
3. Copy this file to a temporary location in your PC first, and then transfer it to your phone
4. Install the desired version of Magisk app (V23?)
5. Run the app and choose Install under Magisk
6. Choose Select and Patch a File, then select the boot.img that was transferred earlier
7. A process will run and create a new .img file in the same folder where the original one was
8. Transfer the new file to your PC in the same directory where fastboot.exe is located
9. Open a command prompt window in that same directory
10. Reboot your phone to fastboot mode and connect to PC, USB2.0 port. Check for connection by running command fastboot devices.
11. Run the command fastboot flash boot_ab magiskXXXX.img
Once it's completed, run command fastboot reboot and the phone should boot and be rooted.

Maybe you have already tried this (your links don't work):
magisk/settings/hide Magisk, renaming it..
Zygisk enable/enforce exclusion list enable.
Configure exclusion list / display system apps / check those related to your problem.
Reboot.
