Windows 11 Running On A LG V50S

Running Windows on the LG V50S

Reinstalling Windows

Prerequisites

Reboot to fastboot mode

If you don't have access to fastboot, use the instructions in the partitioning guide to flash the engineering ABL.

  • With the device turned off, hold the volume down button, then plug the cable in.
  • If the phone in device manager is called Android and has a ⚠️ yellow warning triangle, you need to install fastboot drivers before you can continue.

Boot to the mass storage UEFI

Replace <path\to\msc.img> with the actual path of the UEFI image

fastboot boot <path\to\msc.img>

Enabling mass storage mode

Once booted into the UEFI, use the volume buttons to navigate the menu and the power button to confirm

  • Select UEFI Boot Menu.
  • Select USB Attached SCSI (UAS) Storage.
  • Press the power button twice to confirm.

Diskpart

diskpart

Finding your phone

This will list all connected disks

Look for your phone (which should be the last disk which will be 117GB in size). If you do not see it, wait a few seconds and run the command again. Repeat this until you see the disk.

lis dis

Selecting your phone

Replace $ with the actual number of your phone

sel dis $

Listing your phone's partitions

This will list your device's partitions

lis par

Selecting the Windows partition

Replace $ with the partition number of Windows (should be 32)

sel par $

Add letter to Windows

assign letter x

Exit diskpart

exit

Formatting Windows

Go to Windows Explorer > This PC and select WINMH2LM5G. Right click and format as NTFS.

Installing Windows

Replace <path\to\install.esd> with the actual path of install.esd (it may also be named install.wim)

dism /apply-image /ImageFile:<path\to\install.esd> /index:6 /ApplyDir:X:\

If you get Error 87, check the index of your image with dism /get-imageinfo /ImageFile:<path\to\install.esd>, then replace index:6 with the actual index number of Windows 11 Pro in your image

Installing Drivers

Unpack the driver archive, then open the OfflineUpdater.cmd file

If it asks you to enter a letter, enter the drive letter of WINMH2LM5G (which should be X), then press enter

Boot into Windows

Reboot your phone. If you end up in Android instead of Windows, flash the UEFI again using WOA Helper.

Setting up Windows

Your device will now set up Windows. This will take some time. It will eventually reboot, and after that the initial setup (oobe) should launch.

Finished!
