Bootloader
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] AnteLo:
So can we now flash and run twrp???
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] meganukebmp:
Oh well I tried. The H440 is officially declared impossible to unlock. The bootloader passes a specific check of certificates. We don't have access to them. And the whole bootloader format is different. There are currently no possible way to unlock.

Sorry guys :(
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] midzan21:
Yeah, it is hard to say but this phone defeated us... No matter what phone is fine without unlocked bootloader (for me that is OK because as I said before, I'm switching to developers device - Nexus 5X, which can be unlocked easily)

You are so lucky,am going to g3 or g4 this summer.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] ivanlaki:
Call me stupid but im seriously considering to buy Nexus 5, 2013 phone yeah, but with 6.0 killing 5X and even Iphone 6 in speed, thats preety good for a 100€ phone, would use it for one year and thats it:fingers-crossed:

Hi

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini, would you recommend me the LG Spirit? I'm looking for a budget device that was better than my S3 Mini.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] :
If you are not planning installing custom roms, then, yes, this is a good phone, personally I'm very happy with it. Also, it seems that it will be updated to 6.0 soon.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] AnteLo:
Nexus 5 is still good phone,my frend have it 2 years whit custom kernel and custom rom my frend gets about 35000 on antutu (no overclock)
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] Tomo123:
With the tweaks I've done to it, Spirit has proven itself a proper little smartphone. Battery life is great ( now at almost 8h SOT ), lags are minimal and not worse than on ANY currently released and more powerful phone, it is quite light in the bloatware department, screen size is just right, wifi is excellent, screen resolution and dpi are more tham enough, camera is excellent for my needs, and I could not live without the double tap to wake :)... I could go on and on, but I am more than pleasantly surprised. This really is the best middle class phone I've come by. And it's from a reputable manufacturer, so no chink crap here.

Only niggle I have with it is 1 gig of ram. Besides that, it's pure perfection.

All in all, I am quite happy with it, after the time I've spent using it. Would buy again.

9/10 for you number lovers.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] :
Just another thing, I really miss auto-brightness, but maybe it's just me.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] ivanlaki:
Literally the only (but kinda big) problem for me, everything else perfect as you mentioned,a lot because of your help:)

And front facing camera is really bad but i dont use it a lot so its not a probem for me:good:
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] notDroid:
No I'm not planning installing custom ROM. Can you tell me if this phone has problem with bloatware?

[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] :
As said by [MENTION=5043095]Tomo123[/MENTION], no, not at all.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] jonixas:
Bloat? Close to none, apart from carrier bloat that you might get. You can remove most of the unneeded LG apps too.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] polfrank:
Man, I used all the tweaks that you 've posted and can get only 4h SOT.

Though, I have data constantly on, I don't know if this is the reason...
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] :
I keep data off at home, and WiFi off outside. I switch between them. (I guess I'm not the only one, anyway)... Just try it, data should use quite a lot of battery.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] midzan21:
That is what I do last days... And yes, while use 4G LTE (now more then 3G in my neighbourhood and city) I stream music from my Google Play Music Library (jogging sessions and biking sessions which can take a few hours easily per day)... In most of cases with small SOT (about 3 hours while jogging and running, maybe less while biking) and big battery usage from 4G connection (have a pretty darn good reception in city and a little bit outside of city)
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] jonixas:
I have 4G coverage pretty much everywhere in my neighborhood, even though I literally live in the middle of the forest, not even talking about great city 4G coverage. I usually stream Spotify all day, and the battery easily lasts until I get home ( I never checked what SOT I get though)
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] velikopen:
[MENTION=5525412]jonixas[/MENTION] how the hell do you keep battery alive for a day with 4g networkon?sometimes I cant even reach 4 hours with only wifi turned on.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] jonixas:
All day as in until I get home, so about 10 hours. You probably have something funky going on with your wakelocks, or you may have not applied Tomo's tweaks properly
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] :
Guys, sorry if this is off topic, but since we were talking about OSs a while ago, I just updated windows 10 and... Bsod, unmountable boot volume. Anyone out there encountered this issue?
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] Samug11:
You must have done something wrong when tweaking the phone with Tomo's guide; my phone lasted 3 days with wifi turned on all the time.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] AnteLo:
Happy easter everyone!!
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] velikopen:
[MENTION=4381560]Samug11[/MENTION] bro, can you post some kernel auditor screens you use on your phone? I tried several times different K.A. settings with no result.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] Samug11:
I've got everything set exacly as Tomo said in his guide. My phone is brand new, unpacked like 2 weeks ago, maybe that's the case.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] midzan21:
Did you use some other mods like Viper for audio or Xposed framework? That my be some issue (I can't say anything right now about Tomo's mods with ViperAudio, still didn't fully charged phone to check it out in my regular college days which includes a lot of surfing on WiFi and watching some YouTube videos on headphones which aren't stock and crappy LG ones, I use overhead headphones just because I can lol). And afterall, if it does work (as I tested once it works fine got almost 7h SOT in battery saver mode in which case I used gps, wifi and some 4g in college to help friend to pass exam) it MAYBE (maybe is important word) used when mom got to use this phone and I get to Nexus 5X (for which plan is to manually update it first, unlock bootloader, install twrp, root it and install xposed in first 24 hours of phone usage... afterall nexus is developers first option as Google said once in 2010 i believe)
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] midzan21:
Hello. If somebody could provide me stock FM Radio app with its Folder? Me, as smartass removed that app and now when I want to listen some FM radio I can't because it is removed... Tnx in advance

P.S.: Upload all files in zip or rar, can extract it and upload to for example Dropbox or (if you can of course) AFH

edit: sorry for DP, it is xda's fault, not mine :P
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] jonixas:
Midzan, that can be downloaded under the software updates menu
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] neo668:
How do you make hotspot stick?

I have a LG Spirit with a phone card that has 3G. I have another phone, a HTC, that does not have a phone card and which I use only for Google Maps and Navigation. When I turn on hotspot on my LG the HTC will automatically use the LG's 3G internet connection. But the LG will turn off hotspot by itself. How do I make hotspot on my LG stick when turned on? Thank you.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] midzan21:
Yeah, problem is that I REMOVED all updater apps and can't download it so that is reason why I need that separate...

Check Timeout part of WiFi Hotspot options... It have Off option which wouldn't stop working of hotspot after amount of time that is not used (default setting for me is 15 minutes and for me it is recommended)
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] Tomo123:
Aaaaaaand... there's where we come to what I mentioned numerous times before.

Never remove system apps. Freeze them!
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] neo668:
Thank you for your reply. I found the Timeout option in Hotspot and turned it to "Off". I'm sure this will work. You've been a great help. Thanks again.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] velikopen:
[MENTION=4203213]midzan21[/MENTION] yeah, xposed framework takes way too much battery juice out of our phone. Im pretty much surprised about performance and battery without active xposed.

Guys, simple tip: if tou care about battery turn off xposed when its not necessary.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] midzan21:
Well it doesn't matter, extracted kdz and pulled out LG Updater apps (have a backup of kdz, but removed extracted copy from which I got stock SystemUI back w/o mods)

And just to know - Spirit2 FM Radio works on LG Spirit. Tried it with free version, and then downloaded :eek: pirated version (for some time, would buy it when get new credit card in next 2 weeks) which also works perfectly with Viper4Audio mod (use it for my headphones)

Just an edit - got bootloop after reboot while had setup of GravityBox (yup, got it to try something and it was time to make clean install to try another audio mod with Viper4Audio included)

Bootloader question

Good morning I am the owner of this phone and am interested in bootloader , I read on the Russian forum of some LG Spirit 3g dual sim and the Russians found a way to bootloader on your phone . It was written there about how to edit the file after extraction aboot.bin KDZ and change values. This allowed to bypass signature certificates. I know nothing about this too much , so I write here in the forum . I suggested to you the idea that I can do something with the bootloader . Sorry for my English language , but I live in Poland and explained by google translate . Regards eveloperó from xda
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] :
Hello,

If I recall correctly, the dual sim version is the h4420 (something like that) that is currently unlocked (from Russians, by the way).

Anyway, if you want your guys to give it a try here you are

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=52682

Credit goes to [MENTION=4203213]midzan21[/MENTION] (sorry midzan I didn't ask before posting your link)
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] midzan21:
Not a problem for a language man. Here it is what they tried to do and catched up (in short) - they tried to unlock H440N (4G LTE variant) and failed because of specific certificates (that is how I got it while reading it in cyrilic which isn't my primary but still can understand something) which are linked to aboot of H440N (qualcomm SD410 version) while on MTK version (H422, 3G Dual SIM) they could do that more easily because of MTK certificates which are more easier to hack to pass verification check. Give a try and good luck guys.

Not a single problem, it is shared to all who wants to give a try to do something with bootloader (note: this is extracted from unmodified v10i for H440N)

Do you still want the original radio apk?!
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] midzan21:
I don't need it aymore, now I'm using Spirit2 FM app because it is better then Stock FM Radio. Also I reflashed stock from stratch and now all of system app that don't use are frozen (OK, 3 of them are deleted like stock Clock, File manager and Calendar)
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] colliflower1107:
I found a solution to the auto brightness!! On the google play store there is an app called velis auto brightness and you can use the camera instead of an ambient light sensor. I have only just got it so will update on any battery life changes next week or so.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] :
Yep, ma do you really want your front camera to be continuously on? I don't.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] peki82:
Free unlock

can anyone help me to unlock for free my lg spirit
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] midzan21:
Network unlock (aka phone decoding) can be done via your network provider for free... There is no free network unlock (don't get scammed). Meanwhile bootloader unlock isn't availiable (and it maybe never be bootloader unlock for H440N)
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] colliflower1107:
From what i can tell so far the hit on battery life is negligible and it doesn't even show up on the batter useage page in settings.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] Samug11:
I sent another mail to them, this time asking about android M and if they are planning on eventually releasing bootloader unlock procedure, like with G4. I used diffrent e-mail and diffrent person responded.

All I can deduce is he can't say anything. I'm planning to contact a few diffrent major network providers next time
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] jonixas:
[MENTION=4381560]Samug11[/MENTION] I mean, the further we go, the more details they mention about releasing updates. Sounds like a positive situation to me. I will try to push a few emails trough myself, see how that goes, maybe have a live chat with the support too.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] Samug11:
Good, the more we bug them the more they will care. If anyone else has time/patience to write to them about Android M, do it, they seem to care at least a little.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] Belqta:
I will after work, but on Bulgarian LG support. Maybe i will try and to global support.

But my English is not good :(

If i received any answer, i will post here ;)
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] :
I don't think that bothering them is so effective, but anyway, I'm gonna write to Italian support right now.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] jonixas:
Hi there Jonas

Thank you for your email.

I would be more than happy to assist you with this.

In regards to the Bootloader, sometimes we do offer official Bootloader Unlocks.

Please be advised, if you were to do this, regardless of it being official or not, it would void your warranty.*

Unfortunately, we do not have any time frame on this due to it not being confirmed at this moment.

In regards to the Android 6.0 update, it&#39s likely that you will receive this, however at this moment, we have not had full confirmation regarding other handsets which will get this update besides the G4, G5 and Nexus 5.

I hope you are happy with the service I have personally provided, if you are, please take the time to fill out a short survey at the bottom of this email. It is based solely on my efforts for you. I appreciate all feedback given!*

Should you need any more assistance, you can reply to this email by clicking the additional questions link above the survey.

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards*

Ben

LG Electronics UK Help desk*

So what do we learn from this? They know jack **** themselves.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] :
Okay, I just had a live chat with them...

Basically they said "At the moment we haven't got any information about an update for your model. Anyway, we reccomend keeping an eye on our Facebook page and LG Blog in order to recieve the latest news about the updates."
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] Belqta:
They told me, they do not have information at the time.

I hope we will get Android M :angel:

Do we know how similar the G4's bootloader is to the Spirit's and try LG's method of unlocking?
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] jdzs969:
Knox Flag.

Hi everybody, i bought an LG Spirit 4G (LGH440F) the last weekend :). I used the latest version of Kingroot to root access (Although said that could not), the software version of my phone is H440F10b-SCA-XXX. I saw the list of the version which works kingroot and one click and i don't see the mine.... i rooted the phone but, after reboot kingroot said "Knox Samsung detected". I write from Colombia and here this is reason to lose the warranty, after root my phone he put warm and i uninstall the kingroot and unrooted the phone and also restarts to factory .

I have three questions:

-Have a way to reset the "Knox" counts?:confused:

-After this the phone temprerature in idle it's between 36 - 39°C, in some application than Whatsapp or FB is 45-49 °C, gaming 50 - 61 °C, this ranges are normal? (measured with CPU-Z, CpuTemp)

-They have any custom ROM (Stable)

The reason of my concern is because before this phone i had an windows phone and i never had this problems... And obviously the loss of warranty.

Thanks for your help!.... And excuse me for my bad and poor english.

Greetings from Colombia.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] colliflower1107:
1. Not sure about that. Try ignoring it. (Probably kingroot messud up, as its samsung)

2. Yes those are normal, mostly depends on ambient temperature as well.

3. No, we cant unlock the bootloader which is essential.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] jonixas:
Knox? On LG phones ?
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] colliflower1107:
My thoughts exactly.
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] jdzs969:
Thanks for his answers , and ... tell me ¿What is the best tool (OneClick or KingRoot) for to root my phone (LGH440F, latin america variant) ? Maybe my phone has overheated , because i used the wrong APK.
