Stock US996 twrpable zip firmware for the lg v20 is here. My phone is already rooted with magisk, bootloader unlocked, and has twrp installed.
I formatted my phone using twrp, and rebooted into recovery mode. I then flashed the US99610P firmware (as it is the most up to date in the list at the time). As soon as I reboot into the system, the "phone is corrupt and unable to boot" warning pops up and it's now in an endless bootloop.
I have flashed VS996 12A firmware with lgup patched to get the phone back to a working state.
TLDR: bootlooping lg v20 in part due to the US996 firmware. How do I flash US unlocked stock firmware on this device through twrp?
Flash it with partition DL using patched lg up. You can't just crossflash the vs995 to us996 with twrp due to the different partition layout. And this is not the correct section to post this in.

I did. Flashing using lgup patched works fine when on stock firmware. The issue is when I'm rooted and have twrp installed.
This happened as well when flashing custom roms as well.

I don't know if this will help, but it SHOULDN'T hurt either.

Try flashing it. It's skin1980 sharpening mod, and it bumps the kernel.
Maybe it'll work.

I am in the same place (Security Error) and arrived there via the same steps. I think the only difference is that I am on ZVB firmware.
The firmware difference may explain (or maybe not) why I can boot into TWRP but NOT into download mode.
I'm thinking that if I have TWRP access I should be able to dig myself out of this hole, but not sure how to proceed. I'm guessing that doing a factory reset is not going to fix this, but if that were to return me to stock, that would be great. But I don't want to attempt that without getting some experienced feedback.
If a reset is a no-go, what are my flashing options?
Thanks for any suggestions!
Update & Additional Info: When I'm in TWRP, if I select Reboot and then Bootloader, the Firmware Update screen appears.
I have a H850 on V10d. The bootloader is unlocked, TWRP 3.0.2-0 is flashed to the recovery partition and SuperSU 2.78 is installed.
When I try an OTA update, the phone reboots to TWRP. Rebooting from there leaves me with the old firmware.
What is the preferred way to update? Can I use LG Bridge? Or do I have to flash a stock recovery?

Update with LGUp o by flashing firmware zip (if avaible) trough TWRP.
Never do OTA when you are rooted or have a TWRP, there are high possibility to brick in these cases.
so if i have an unlocked bootloader, custom recovery, and i'm rooted, but have a bunch of apps installed and a bunch of configurations, unroot, flash stock and then install the OTA, i'm okay?

If you're going to flash stock, you may not need to worry about an OTA. Just find the latest KDZ file for your G5 H850 here: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h850-firmwares/ and then flash it with LGUP. Your bootloader will still be unlocked, and you'll have to use fastboot to flash TWRP after which you can root your new stock firmware by flashing SU. Flashing stock is just that; you'll lose any installed apps and configurations you've set in 10d.

Maybe you can prevent some losses if you use the LG Backup tool at first!
Make a Backup and you can restore some of your apps and their data.
BUT ALL ICON / SOUND & SYSTEM SETTINGS ARE LOST!
Hi,
I have a rooted LG G5 H850 with an unlocked bootloader and TWRP. I was on H850 20A OPEN EU ROM from autoprime and I tried to flash H850 20D OPEN EU ROM. I booted into recovery TWRP and flashed the Zip file together with the newest SuperSU. When I tried to reboot the phone stuck in reboot - always changing between the message "Your device software cannot be checked for corruption" and the LG logo. After a long time (15 minutes or so) I pulled the battery. The same thing. Then I tried to get into recovery using the 2 hands method. I clicked through the factory reset screens (yes, yes...) - and the phone stuck between warning screen and logo again.
Could someone help me to get into TWRP again? If this would be possible I could restore my backup. Otherwise I don't what to to else...
Thanks for any helP!
Ok, after several tries with the 2 hand method, I got into TWRP again. I tried to restore my backup but it failed with an error. After that I did a full wipe (factory reset) but without the internal storage. Then I flashed the 20D zip again, after that SuperSU. Now the phone is rebooting and rebooting and rebooting. It is stuck on the LG logo and nothing else is happening. It's frustrating...
Firmware reset > flash zip file.
If that doesn't work use the LGUP or LG Bridge method to flash firmware. There should be threads in the development section

Thanks for your help, but I don't use windows. But in the meantime I got it solved. The reason for the failure was a corrupted external sd card. Flashing from a new card did help.
i'm getting the same problem with the OREO OPEN EU ROM, booted into TWRP, flashed SuperSU and after a few loops got stuck on the LG logo. Had to pull the battery, go into download mode & reflash the ROM via LGUP. I somehow doubt it's the SD card as there were no errors on the SuperSU install.
Hello all,
I have a Verizon LG V30 that I converted to a US998 LG V30 using the Frankenstein method. Today, I clicked the Uninstall option in Magisk Manager and the device uninstalled it and rebooted. Upon rebooting, I was thrown into Fastboot mode with no way to get out (No Recovery, nothing.) I tried resetting through Fastboot to no avail. It still connects with Fastboot but nothing else. I can flash firmware with the patched LGUP but no file I have tried has worked. Is there anyway I can flash my V30 back to Stock VS996? Thank you.

Why isn't there a way to get into Recovery? Use the same fastboot commands you got into recovery the first time you installed TWRP. You can even use those commands to boot to TWRP on your phone even when TWRP is not installed on your phone, via "temp" TWRP.
Since you uninstalled root, you can't use the Reboot Recovery app anymore -- as that requires root access -- but you can still use the fastboot flash commands.

Yes, go into Download mode manually and use dev patched LGUP to flash VS996 Oreo KDZ with DL Partition method. Flash all partitions. Not sure why you are doing that however. You decided you don't want to own your phone anymore?
People who want to KEEP root and TWRP and go back to VS998 would use DL Partition method -- but UNtick the partition recovery partitions. Then you would still have VS996 but with TWRP. You would no longer have fastboot flash commands, but you would still have TWRP custom recovery. Then you just flash Magisk root. So you would have VS998 with TWRP and root.
And at that point you could even use the reboot recovery app with root to always easily get to TWRP.

Thank you very much. I am booting up my ADB and Fastboot to flash TWRP, as I still at least have an unlocked boot loader. I’ll download a Oreo KDZ for the Verizon Variant if that doesn’t work out. Do you have any sources for one on the forums? Thank you!
EDIT: Once I get into recovery, should I flash a stock ROM? There are a few on the ROMs section of the forums but I do not non which one to download.

1) Do your want to keep TWRP and root and just flash back to VS996 (while keeping TWRP and root)?
2) Or do you want to just keep TWRP but you don't want root right now?
If #1, once in TWRP, reflash Magisk.
Then reboot, and go into manual download mode BEFORE opening the patched LGUP. Then Frankenstein back to VS996 with DL PARTITION method, but untick (uncheck) the recovery partitions. Then you'll be back to VS996, but still have TWRP and be rooted.

Don't mind my other comment, I fixed what was going on there for the most part. I have tried 2 different firmware files and both of them will not boot. The Official LG Boot image (flashable with TWRP) flashed with no errors, but i just booted into download mode again. I also flashed LineageOS and the same thing happened. I tried the Refurbish and Upgrade option through LGUP and both stopped at 19% with error 0x2000. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you.

Hi all,
I've successfully rooted my H932. Magisk 18, rctd, no_verity, and LOS 16 are installed with latest TWRP. 3.2.3-7 installed on laf and recovery.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, the fingerprint reader is not working, and SGCMarkus suggested the reason was I wasn't on OREO firmware.
I'm pretty sure i'm still on 10d from KDZ when i rooted.
How do I update the firmware?...do I use LGUP with H93220p_00_1121.kdz and not install on LAF or RECOVERY and then flash Magiskj, rctd, and no-verity? Then put LOS 16 back over that with TWRP?
Can I use TWRP the whole way? I think LGUP stopped working after I flashed TWRP to LAF and RECOVERY...
Thx, Andrew

There's a thread with 20o and 20p zips that can be flashed in twrp to bring you up to stock Oreo. Once you've gone to either of those, then clean installed lineageos 16, your fingerprint reader should work. No guarantees, but it should.
did it work?
When I flashed to pixel rom, I flashed Brian's 20k zip, then pie and every thing worked perfect. Then flashed back to 20k then 20p I guess i would advise always flashing stock first. And if you had success with a procedure then make sure to follow the same prelimary steps when flashing another zip
