How To Update Lg G6 To Android 10
- #1
Notwithstanding this one is specifically for the LG G6 and tested using the US997 model. It worked for me, but I welcome comments on how to improve it.
Create a folder on the PC for all the downloads and files
Download telephone commuter from LG website
https://www.lg.com/united states of america/support/help-library/lg-mobile-drivers-and-software-CT10000027-20150179827560
Download ADB/Fastboot https://programmer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools (You need to unzip once downloaded)
(I had an error "adb server version (31) doesn't lucifer this customer (41) killing". I searched my PC and found an older version which I had used for another phone and deleted the folders and reinstalled from the download)
Ensure the phone is backing up. (Google backup is working, you have all your photos music etc downloaded) the next steps will wipe the phone
Remove the Pin/Password/Fingerprints from the phone so it will boot without whatsoever security.
Unlock the bootloader

The phone will then reboot and do a complete wipe and then y'all need to wait a while for Android to setup.
Telegraph has the latest news on LG G6 ROMs and Recovery. From here I got the links for SHRP recovery which seems more up to date for LG G6 than TWRP. (https://spider web.telegram.org/#/[email protected])
https://sourceforge.net/projects/pa-g6/files/Releases/SHRP/20.07.2020/US997/
I named the downloaded file "recovery" (You demand the .img file non the Nada)
At that place are lots of agile ROMS for LG G6 I accept Lineage installed on another telephone which works really well, just Havoc seems the most popular on the G6.
Download the ROM and Gapps https://opengapps.org/ (I used Nano, think G6 is 64bit)
You will besides need to update the bootloader. This was the latest I found for the US997

(I missed the bootloader the showtime time and Gapps will not flash, I was helped past the LG G6 community on Telegram https://web.telegram.org/#/[electronic mail protected])
Now yous have downloaded all you need
Then connect the phone to the PC and ensured you have ADB debug on in programmer options and boot the phone into fastboot
On the PC open a command prompt in the folder you have all the files:
adb reboot bootloader
To load the recovery to the phone :
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
YOU MUST NOW Boot DIRECTLY TO RECOVERY. Practice not reboot to Android as this volition automatically reset recovery to the stock version.
Unplug the USB cable and reboot to recovery (hold book downward + power button).. proceed property until phone reboots...
As soon as you see the LG logo on the screen.. let go of the power button so apace printing it over again (never letting go of volume downwards).
Keep holding until you lot come across the Factory Reset screen. Click thru the factory reset screens using the volume buttons to move upward/down and power button to select. Choose "Yes" twice (maxim you want to reset the phone information technology should kicking into your new recovery. Despite what the screen says it won't actually factory reset/wipe your data... every bit long as you've installed a custom recovery and have not booted into Android since then.
Well-nigh likely you will exist asked the password to decrypt the data binder. I tried my phone PIN and other default passwords suggested on the net. I eventually found that this is a known issue and y'all need for cancel out of this screen and go and "FORMAT DATA"
Reboot directly to recovery (select reboot recovery in Skyhawk), this time yous should not be asked for the decryption password.
I recommend you backup your current setup before making changes. If you hitting problems you can use the recovery to restore. My SD card slot is cleaved (Poor LG design) so I plugged a USB pollex bulldoze into the USB C slot and did a full backup. (No data since I merely formatted it).
Wipe the partitions earlier you wink
Full wipe ("The only option y'all always need")
Select Advanced and wipe system segmentation.
Wink (You need to put the ZIP files either on the USB drive as I did, or copy to your SD card, or you can use ADB sideloader from the PC to push the files to the phone). The USB bulldoze seems the easiest since you can plug it into your PC to load the files then plug it into the phone to read them.
Flash in the post-obit guild
Bootloader
ROM
Gapps
After Installing wipe cache and Davik
Reboot
It will do lots of processing while setting upwards. Ensure it stays absurd (remove instance and leave it plugged in with the screen off)
Donate to the developer of your new ROM at the stop when it works.

Likes : Very smooth experience, telephone feel similar it is running much faster. Very stable, I had one surprise reboot in the fourth dimension I take used it. No bug (and then far) with installing or using any apps including cyberbanking. Much lower use of storage, I have 6GB free.
Aforementioned : Bombardment life is about the same as before.
Gaps : Cannot encrypt, VOLTE doesn't work (which may go a big issue for T-Mobile and AT&T soon), when being used the phone gets much warmer than it did before and the wifi setting randomly turns off.
Next Steps: I am going to attempt Lineage which has released some fixes for the WIFI issue and report back.

Sending 'recovery' (36936 KB) OKAY [ 1.252s]
Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'unknown control')
fastboot: mistake: Command failed
I downloaded the Skyhawk aught from the PA download link, unzipped information technology and used the recovery.img file constitute inside the naught as part of the fastboot command. Is this incorrect ?

You also need to ensure you have the appropriate files for your phone I have a US997 but every bit you have H872 you would need skyhawk for the H872 in the notes to a higher place you are nevertheless using US997.
