You nuke your phone, I'm not paying for it
Thanks to @zefie for converting the kdz to a zip.
The zip
The anti-root removal
I flashed the zip in TWRP, rebooted to the OS, and was unrooted.
Reboot into the bootloader, and flashed TWRP.
Rebooted into recovery, flashed the lucye anti root removal, then rebooted into recovery again, and flashed Magisk.
Phone has been fine since Thursday.
Did you flash this dirty or clean?
I flashed it. Works GREAT. Dirty flashed.
Here's what I did...
-Flashed this zip
-Flashed Eliminator74 twrp image https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g6/development/twrp-t3828254 (you'll need to change from .zip to .img in TWRP)
-Rebooted to recovery
-Flashed antiroot removal zip
-rebooted to recovery
-Flashed magisk
-rebooted to system
-be patient
Can you please post a link to eliminator74 twrp build? I'm not sure if I have that one...

Dirty from 21B worked fine for me
Dirty flash from 20A worked perfectly.
FYI: This ROM has the recovery image removed, so if you already have TWRP, flashing this won't remove TWRP. No need to reinstall TWRP.
I actually started having bad idle drain. Flashed LOS for now, will go back to stock soon. If anyone else notices idle drain, please do let us know.
Thank you!

Still running 17A [rooted]... think dirty flashing this will be alright? Been looking for a good time to update.
Coming from 20A, battery life has been about the same- maybe even a bit better. All's well.

Go for it. Be sure to install Magisk for root. SuperSU (if you happen to be using it) doesn't work anymore.

US997 14a to 21c (Keeping Root)
I'm using the US997 still on 14a (rooted, TWRP installed) would I need to (CLEAN) flash up to 17a and then the 21c? After that flash the anti-root and flash an updated version of Magisk? (currently stuck on v16.4) Can't find my stock boot image to update. Only got the phone back in October and stopped all updates before I unlocked the bootloaded, installed TWRP and used Magisk to get root. I had a hard time finding a version of TWRP with a kernel that worked for my phone (Melina v3.2.1-0) would I have to update that also? Was waiting to see the highest update I could get without losing root. Anyone done this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My wife and I both have G6 phones. On mine, I dirty flashed this over 20A with absolutely no problem. My sequence was: flash Eliminator74 TWRP, reboot to recovery, flash 21C zip, reboot to recovery, flash lucye anti-root, reboot to recovery, flash Magisk, wipe cache and Dalvik, reboot to system. I'm guessing I really didn't need those extra reboots but it felt safer. Phone is perfectly stable.
On my wife's phone it was another matter. Her data partition was encrypted, due to the phone having been reimaged by LG during warranty repair. I'd rooted it but never decrypted it. None of the default ways to decrypt it worked, so I was forced to format /data. I thought that would do it, but the resulting installation was unstable, and wouldn't get through setup successfully without continually looping, freezing, and returning to start. Finally I realized it was probably flashing over the LG factory image that caused the problem. I wiped /system and started over, and had much better results.

So I tried this coming from 17A.
When I reboot to recovery on the first go I have the Oreo bootloader screen and it goes into the white reset menu. All encryption is enabled again.
I have to fastboot bootloader, install TWRP recovery, wipe/format and then restore my 17A to recover the phone.
What steps did you take MetalMan2?

The only thing is that I can't get xposed installer to work properly. When I install it (v86 sdk23 arm) , every time that I tap on recent apps button, system ui crashes, so, I flashes the Uninstaller zip, and everything went well. But I miss xposed, if anybody has a solution, I would appreciate it

Maybe the problem is not xposed itself, maybe the issue is related to an specific module. I'll try one by one tomorrow and see what happens, thank you!

I know what the problem was. My xposed zip was correct. As I thought, it was because of a module. "Android N-fy", in recents, I just had to uncheck quick switch and change no recent image and that was it. I don't know if that module is optimized for this oos especific build, because in settings of the phone, the module does not change as much as in lollipop oos. Thank you tho

Make sure you have both .zip files on your phone, clean flash 3.1.1 then boot it up. If you don't like it, you can go back to 2.2.2 via stock recovery anytime. You don't even need twrp unless you want to root, install Xposed or backup.

i was coming from sultans cm13 build - flashed stock recovery - wiped system - installed the community build.
So far so good
System works fine, but wifi drains system like hell (37% usage)
So i installed bluespark twrp and wanted to wipe cache & dalvik/art at once
-> initially i got an error -> "can´t mount /cache - invalid argument" (or so) - tried only to wipe cache and then it worked on the 3rd attempt...
But - after restarting only 12 Apps are "optimized", altough i have 100+ apps installed.... so i expect some filesystem/partition issue
Did you ever have this behaviour ?
I´m thinking about to do a full wipe in twrp and reinstall the community build -> other suggestions ?

Sounds like you forgot to wipe data. Wipe system, data, cache and just flash 3.1.1. As for wifi drain it's not real and happens when you have wifi scanning on under location. Turn it off, reset network settings under backup/reset. Now reboot and should be gone. Turning off and rebooting might be enough but doesn't hurt to add network reset. Next cycle after reboot and full charge should be clean.

It's not the place, but I can confirm that it didn't work for me. I still have the drain from time to time.
And if I don't have the Wifi drain I have a service Google Play service drain (33% for today's charge for example...).
And sometimes, I even had the wifi drain with Wifi completly switched off...

I had this issue, too once. Can't recap what exactly fixed it, but I flashed TWRP again (think that didn't fix it) and then dirty flashed a ROM (in this case the same, which was already on the phone). If I remember correctly it worked after the later only. Might have also had to flash superSU. No data should be deleted if you just dirty flash (but do make a backup, should be no problem, since you are stuck in recovery anyway [emoji12]).

TWRP can be flashed just from inside TWRP itself. Dirty flash means not do a factory reset before flashing.
Sorry that I can't remember what fixed it, but you can get out of it, 'cause I did, too...
Just wipe cache and dalvik/art cache then install separately TWRP, ROM, GAPPS, SUPERSU again and reboot after each install step to see of you reboot to TWRP again. That's what I did.
I use latest AICP ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=69699770) but that shouldn't matter.
Hope it helps.

Flashed this just after following jdub01984's guide to update to 7.0, but ended up with a bootloop (not a twrp bootloop). Had to hard reset to force factory recovery. The build was at 20f before I installed, and I most definitely did not format system, just booted twrp, backed up, installed the rom, wiped cache, and rebooted. Install glitch? Should I try again? Was starting to panic when no combination of key presses seemed to interrupt the loop or cause a power down, then I found the hard reset sequence which got me back to twrp so I could restore (I'm using twrp 3.0.2 v2).

@micromod 777 What are the chances of you updating this rom to the latest firmware? Has been my go to since you released it.:good:
So here is my situation: I have a 3GB kenzo model with 6.3.24 EU ROM and ZCX TWRP 3.0.0-0. Of course bootloader in unlocked. Since the TWRP is pretty old, I updated it to RedWolf V3.1.
What I did:
Wipe: Dalvik/System/Data/Cache
Install Beta 7.9.22 or Stable 8.5.6.0 Kenzo firmware (tried with both)
Install RR image: RR-N-v5.8.5-20170924-kenzo-Final.zip
Install open gapps ARM64 7.1 (or not)
Wipe caches (also tried without wiping it)
Reboot
Bootloop
I know the first boot can take some time, so I let it run for 30+ minutes, still, only bootloop happened. Tried it a couple times, changing firmware, wiping caches at the end, ditching gapps etc. Images checked for md5 checksum on the phone, they are not corrupted. I was able to restore the EU ROM, but I really want to try out ResurrectionRemix. What could possibly the problem be?

That was the first thing I did (I didn't know a firmware was needed so I only flashed the RR ROM). Same bootloop
You could try to format data partition. Then wipe system,data,cache,dalvik cache and internal partition. After that Copy actually firmware, rom and opengapps arm64 pico in internal memory (Download all files again. Maybe archiv was damaged). Then flash firmware, rom, gapps and do wipe Cache/dalvik and reboot. Then report.

Did it, same result. Wiped everything, copied zips to internal storage, flashed from there and boom, bootloop
Hmm strange. You could test a good modified rom of rr.
Try this Rom:

And these Gapps:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673791459329049438
If it all not Work, you have to flash actually official Rom to restore all with edl.
I have the exact same problem. Cant flash any ROM without getting bootloop. The bootloop though isnt a standard one, i think. I get the logo of the ROM and the phone starts to give Tiny vibrations in regular periods of time. I also left the phone for a long time hoping it'll eventualy boot. No luck. Tried flashing stock ROM with miflashtool and edl. Didnt help as well. I wonder if it could be the fault of any previous roms i had installed.
Twrp:
-are you sure you are not in read mode? Change to writemode.
-All relevant partitions mounted?

unable to flash any Nougat roms- stuck in boot animation.
is it because the bootloader was unlocked unofficially via lollipop fastboot ROM 7.1.8??
All right, got it working.
I flashed the latest official MIUI ROM with the official flashing tool with the option "clear all". Then I had to open the bootloader again, then flash TWRP, then flash RR, and it works! Looks like something was wrong with the previous installation, the clearing everything did the job.

Backup all of your data from internal storage and flash latest fastboot developer ROM and setup it. This will fix all issues regarding ROMs, zips, bootloops and firmware and any other. After that flash latest ZCX recovery as RedWolf recovery causes problems for flashing ROMs and zips as per my experiance. Then simply flash RR and gapps and boot and wait for 15 minutes and till then don't restart device.
Phone is a frankensteined LG V30, 931, I installed Lineage on it following the correct steps for prepping the phone for an AOSP rom.
I had some issues with Lineage and decided to restore from backup, but when I restored my phone it hung on the splash screen permanently. I factory data reset, no good, still hung.
Wiped everything in TWRP and flashed US990_H, booted up okay but now I'm bootlooping.
Went back into TWRP and wiped data, restored from my backup, rebooted, still bootlooping.
Went back into TWRP, wiped everything and flashed US998E, F, G, H in order, rebooted, still bootlooping.
I'm out of ideas.

What TWRP are you running? 3.2.3.7 stable from WTF?
What Magisk are you on? 19.x doesn't work well flashing TWRP flashable zips. Boot back into TWRP, uninstall Magisk and install 18.0 or 18.1.
See if that works.

Worst comes to worst, you can go into Download mode, flash 20H in Refurbish mode. You're back on pure stock, but still have unlocked bootloader with fastboot flash commands. Reinstall TWRP, flash the three root files again (no encryption, no root check, Magisk).
But then you'll have to manually install some stuff Johnfawkes puts in his TWRP-flashable zips.

I was on 3.2.3.7 from WTF, yes, and 19.x, that must have been my problem. I having the idea to refurbish flash 20H myself, and did that successfully. Going to go ahead and get started on installing the other files now. And doing a full system-image TWRP backup to prevent this from happening in the future.
Out of curiosity, what does Magisk do that causes this to happen? I would have thought that once I wiped the system and data partitions magisk would be gone completely.
i have a similar issue going on here and i'm stuck. bootlooping directly back to TWRP regardless of command (bootloader, power off, system). i believe i took all the right steps in WTF thread (unlocked, rooted, updated to latest H FW) then tried to flash lineageOS. even my sequential (unlock, root, update) TWRPs wont boot (they restore properly it just boots back to TWRP). i tried reflashing E,F,G,H no go.
US998, used proper 3.2.3.7 TWRP, Magisk18.
i've been flashing phones for years and this one has been difficult. any help?
EDIT: it seems the aroma installers of gapps was crashing TWRP. i was finally able to get back into bootloader and upon re-flashing TWRP everything seems back to normal. i can also recreate the problem so its def a gapps/TWRP no likey situation.
I think I ran into that once, and I powered-off fully and booted manually and it worked... you could try that. I may have even tried booting into bootloader or something, and then that fixed it too? I forget exactly, but it wasn't too big of a deal, once I got it solved, of course!
