[T-Mobile LG G4] solfly7:
OK, installed drivers with LG bridge

'adb devices' lists my device

'adb reboot bootloader' boots into bootloader mode with the tiny instructions in upper left with instructions for unlocking. at this point my phone is no longer recognized by adb as an attached device.

'fastboot oem unlock' hangs on waiting for device. Checked Device Manager, and driver is no longer showing, like the phone is unplugged.

oem unlock and usb are checked in Developer options, and I've tried 10 or so different USB cables, including the one that came with phone. Any suggestions would be great.
[T-Mobile LG G4] hammy88:
I followed the instructions, but i was only able to reboot my device to bootloader, then i get stuck on "waiting for device" . I installed the usb drivers, did everything that i could think of but still the same. I installed Google USB drivers and nothing seemed to be fixing the issue. I am running the latest version H81120p
[T-Mobile LG G4] solfly7:
Im not sure this is fot 20p or not. I have same issue on 20i. Maybe someone could clarify if this works on 20p cause I get update notifications 10 times a day. I just want to get this stupid bootloader unlocked:banghead:
[T-Mobile LG G4] themaskofwraith:
Twrp doesnt see IMG file in in internal storage. i tried sideloading it but it says zip file is corrupted. Nevermind there is an option to flash image. i flashed to recovery partition.
[T-Mobile LG G4] SignatureBoy:
TWRP see the IMG file in any storage but you need to select the other option it does not see it as normal ZIP, mention in the OP already :)
[T-Mobile LG G4] themaskofwraith:
DO u happen to know, how to enter fastboot mode with hardware keys. every guide in the internet points me to download mode
[T-Mobile LG G4] SignatureBoy:
Hopefully your bootloader is unlocked if yes download a reboot app and reboot to bootloader when in bootloader you can select fastboot. I do not use Hardware keys much but if you know how to boot into bootloader with keys then you are good to go the option lies inside bootloader.
[T-Mobile LG G4] themaskofwraith:
I cant get into phone so app or adb commands is not option. i searched internet but nothing on how to enter fastboot/bootloader with the keys.
[T-Mobile LG G4] SignatureBoy:
WhaT exactly is your issue ??? tell me
[T-Mobile LG G4] themaskofwraith:
i have LG g4 H811. it has unlocked bootloader and rooted. i changed device model in build.props file. But when i reboot its stuck on LG logo. Since i dont have twrp ,i cant flash new rom. So im trying to get it to boot
[T-Mobile LG G4] SignatureBoy:
you did not mention on which version of Android you are anyways download the kdz of your related version and use LGUP to recover your fone back to normal.
[T-Mobile LG G4] themaskofwraith:
Im on MM. LG UP says my device is 'unknown model' because i changed model number in build.props :(

---------- Post added at 08:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 PM ----------

i have two options 1) get into fastboot to dlash twrp 2)flash using TOT file metho, but i cant find tot file for my model anywhere
[T-Mobile LG G4] SignatureBoy:
TOT is not safe enough as i dont remember but after 20o or 20i it cannot be downgraded. Anyway did you tried Adb shell ?
[T-Mobile LG G4] themaskofwraith:
no i didnt. Not sure how to use it
[T-Mobile LG G4] SignatureBoy:
Hopefully you have all your drivers installed in your pc for your G4.

Turn on your G4 leave it stuck on boot logo.

Connect your G4 with a USB to your computer

If you do not have already the ADB package download it from the first post.

Now open the Command prompt and type ADB DEVICES, if everything was installed before you messed up your device will show up.

If yes then you are lucky and you can get into recovery, See the first post and follow it and tell me.
[T-Mobile LG G4] themaskofwraith:
adb devices command didnt show any devices. i checked device manager and i dont see any known device/adb interface. But i see LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port
[T-Mobile LG G4] SignatureBoy:
2 issues 1 proper drivers are not installed 2nd USB debugging was never enabled.
[T-Mobile LG G4] themaskofwraith:
USB debugging was enabled, but i think i tried factory reset in stock recovery which would have disabled it.
[T-Mobile LG G4] SignatureBoy:
Try LG BRIDGE and see if it recognizes your device it will also install proper drivers as well.
[T-Mobile LG G4] themaskofwraith:
i have LG bridge. I tried forcing adb driver by adding VID and PID in android_winusb and using have disk in device manager. I think the interface i see in device manager is not adb interface, it is a COM port.

Do u happen to know where i can find the TOT file for H811 model. thanks
[T-Mobile LG G4] SignatureBoy:
Look Here
[T-Mobile LG G4] themaskofwraith:
i Did but they have kdz file but no TOT file :(. i googled too but i cant find it anywhere
[T-Mobile LG G4] SignatureBoy:
Take it to the shop and ask them to flash or if you wanna do it yourself search for flash boxes on ebay related to your G4.
[T-Mobile LG G4] themaskofwraith:
yeah looks like thats the only option. cant believe changing model number can brick my device :P. ill see if i can find a tot file anywhere else ill return the device. i just bought it yesterday :)
[T-Mobile LG G4] Robborboy:
Same issue. Nobody seems to have an answer for this.
[T-Mobile LG G4] solfly7:
I had the same problem... Windows is the problem for me.. I put Ubuntu on a flash drive, booted into that and installed android tools through apt and I was unlocked in minuets..
[T-Mobile LG G4] Robborboy:
Any tutorial for this? I pulled the latest distro of ubunto and made a live copy of it but terminal won't even open.
[T-Mobile LG G4] solfly7:
I wool put a tutorial on with links when I get home.. If you click the Ubuntu. Button in the top of the bar type T and you should see terminal.. You have to apt-get install the android tools for adb and fastboot.. Once in the bootloader you have to use sudo to unlock.. sudo fastboot oem unlock.. Again. I will post exactly what I did when I get off work.
[T-Mobile LG G4] Robborboy:
Thanks. That, keyboard shortcut, and right clicking the desktop and selecting "open terminal" were all things I tried to no avail. I'll keep an eye out for your tut.
[T-Mobile LG G4] solfly7:
OK, first Im no pro. all thanks to the OP for info and links in this forum. This is just what I had to do to get the bootloader unlocked because windows 10 does not install the drivers properly on my laptop....

1. Install Ubuntu 16.04 on an empty flash drive at least 2GB and make bootable (https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows)

2. plug drive in, reboot windows. for me tapping F12 after manufacturer logo gave option to boot to usb drive. If you have older bios you may have to google the procedure for you.

3. You should get boot options with newer bios, choose usb. older bios if set to boot from usb will just boot to the device you chose to boot first.

4. You will get options to try or install Ubuntu. I chose try but you can install if you want to

5. Once the OS loads, make sure you have internet connection

6. Click the ubuntu logo at top of start bar and type the letter T. you should see the icon for terminal... click to open.

7. type these commands:

sudo add-apt-repository [url]http://ppa.launchpad.net/phablet-team/tools/ubuntu[/url]
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot

You will then be able to run adb and fastboot from terminal anywhere

connect phone to computer and allow connection on your phone. at this point I just followed the OP's instructions and I was unlocked.

Note: once phone is in bootloader mode I had to use sudo fastboot oem unlock to unlock it. sudo must be invoked

Hope this helps
[T-Mobile LG G4] bigz1981:
Ugh. I'm having issues as well when I never used to. Had to do a warranty replace on my G4 and I finally got my replacement yesterday! It came with 20o and I was able to unlock the bootloader, but fastboot stopped responding after that. Started getting the waiting on device message with the same issue...it drops the connection when it reboots into the bootloader. I am going to try to downgrade back to win7 tonight as I've been meaning to do that anyway. My laptop lags with win10 because it's old & win10 is a resource hog. Hopefully, that works. If not, I'm going to dual boot & attempt to do it using ubuntu as shown above.
[T-Mobile LG G4] henry333:
Two weeks ago the LG Bridge will upgrade you to 20o. Last night It became 20p so I ended up upgrading with LGUP using the 20o kdz file here.

Thanks a lot.
[T-Mobile LG G4] SignatureBoy:
Hi has your problem solved or not i am asking because i stucked at the same problem today and finally went into recovery via Hardware keys.
[T-Mobile LG G4] SignatureBoy:
The answer is Windows 10 mostly people are getting stuck on this, try using 8 or windows 7.
[T-Mobile LG G4] themaskofwraith:
i dont think there is solution if you dont have TWRP installed.

I was able to edit registry of LG UP to recognize unknown devices, but it doesnt want to flash. The only solution i can think of is that someone has to hack LG UP to flash the devices regardless if its detected or not
[T-Mobile LG G4] SignatureBoy:
Well if you can boot to default recovery then you can sideload an UPDATE.ZIP of your version, So still there is hope.
[T-Mobile LG G4] themaskofwraith:
didnt know that. can you pls make a post about it. since i saw lots of people having the same issue.
[T-Mobile LG G4] SignatureBoy:
well i have always used sideload to update my previous version to next one, but i guess it can work for you as well, though for that purpose you need to consult some experienced level developer as it requires ADB to work.
[T-Mobile LG G4] isaacalich8401:
Thinking about getting a H811 refurb. This works on the LATEST version of the firmware right?
[T-Mobile LG G4] zzyzx13:
Thanks for the tutorial, just rooted and flashes cyanogen 14.1, but I soon realized that I was using the 20i FW, is there a link to a flashable zip of the 20o FW I can use anywhere? My build is corroded with bugs due to this problem, thanks :)
[T-Mobile LG G4] Irishflyer:
Hey guys,

Can I use this exact method to unlock bootloader and root if I am coming off of Stock T-Mobile H81120q?

Any tips or advice appreciated. My end goal is flashing Cyanogen 14.1 and I'm not sure if there are any issue coming off the recent H81120q update.

Thanks in advance!
[T-Mobile LG G4] raptorddd:
yes i did it on 20q but used autoprimes 20i guide. been using same for 20 and now 20q so i think its should be okey
[T-Mobile LG G4] Irishflyer:
Gracias raptorddd!
[T-Mobile LG G4] Wolf2231:
I just wanted to mention that this will work for mostly all versions of LG G4, as long u using the appropriate files for the used model. For this the H811 files.

I say this because getting TWRP and flashing SuperSU In thses steps are basically the same for Android devices excluding the bootloader unlock which different models have different methods.

But in the matter of this H811 the version of software mostly works the same.

What SignatureBoy said is probably because that the software that he tested and for it he should only verify that it only works on.:good:

---------- Post added at 05:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 AM ----------

I loved when you said "7- For Safer side after unlocking the bootloader boot into TWRP from fast boot and do not install TWRP."

Not so many mention that.

Overall your thread is perfect. big thumbs UP.

External SD card question

Sorry if this is really newbish but I am confused about the external sd card. Is it going into the phone while I'm doing all of this or am I doing all of this all on the computer?
[T-Mobile LG G4] peanutsrule:
I've been confused about this bootloader info for quite some time and was hoping someone could clear a few questions up for me. I've got an h811, but how do I know what bootloader version it's on? What's the difference between 20-o and 20-i? I'm just trying to avoid bricking anything. And say if I do have an older version, how would I go about updating it? I'm looking to get nougat ROMs running currently its running an octos MM build.

Thank you in advance if anyone can answer these admittedly newbie questions. If there's anything else you need to know or would like to tell me please don't hesitate.
[T-Mobile LG G4] raptorddd:
to know what version you need to go about phone and software. but you have a cm aosp rom. i know that theres antirollabck V2 is lollipop 10n and MM 20i..... then 20o-20p-20q-20r are all V3. so i think bootloader is the baseband. i think the recent the better.. if you want to stay safe just install anything from 20o upwards. we dont know if you had 20i- or 20o. what if you do 20o and go back to V3 20i youll brick it. so i say 20r.

you download the KDZ file and LGUP.
[T-Mobile LG G4] peanutsrule:
So you're saying if I flash anything 20o and up, it won't brick even if I was actually on 20i prior? Would I be able to go back to a previous stock rom so I'd be able to tell what bootloader I'm on for certain? If so I'd glady do that, and as for lgup I assume you mean this software? I'll look for a 20r kdz in the meantime I suppose, still a bit iffy on the details.
[T-Mobile LG G4] raptorddd:
yes 20o-p-q- or r... they are antirollback V3 means you can flash between these 4. but no lower then 20o that is NO 20i or 10n...

noo even if you were on 10n or 20i you are upgrading.. problem is downgrading.

well to og back to a stock rom you need to know what were you on.???? or youll brick phone so we are back to guessing........ am not sure how to find out or a way to know..... so to be safe its better to flash V3 or unless you want to risk it.. and since you going to flash a V3 you should go to latest 20r it was out like 2 weeks ago.. theres link for KDZ and zip. i suggest KDZ and LGUP link..

Thank you very much, I'm still deciding on which rom I want to try but I'll most definitely be a 7.x one. I'll give this a try tomorrow.

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Johzen:
Just bought a P9 2 days ago, decided to root for Pokemon Go, realized that rooting eats lots of battery, wanted to revert, ends up wiping the whole system with TWRP.

I've been trying to research how to restore/install a stock rom, I've been trying to solve this on my own (and with Google ofcourse) for the past 10 hours now, and voila, ended up with a boot loop.

So guys, I was just hoping someone could help me, teach me how to bring it back to the way I bought it. Please and thank you in advance.

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Johzen:
[UPDATE] Fixed

Hey guys, searched in google for 10 hours, ended up wiping my P9, searched less than 30 minutes in XDA forums, reverted back into stock ROM.

Fix:

Step 1: Extract the stock ROM file from PaulOBrien's post into your MicroSD card, you will end up with a "dload" folder inside your MicroSD.

Step 2: Turn your P9 off

Step 3: Force flash (learned the term from the same topic post) by pressing all 3 buttons(volume up, down, and power) for 5-8 seconds, a Huawei icon will pop up and voila, EMUI updates.

And the best part is, it gets back to its original "locked" state.

Thanks XDA Developers Forums!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] JohnPyn:
Hi everyone, so I was wondering what was the best way to backup everything, apps, apps' data and system settings before flashing a new ROM or the same but with new base (which usually requires a clean install).

I've been told that the TWRP backup isn't that great because it'll bring over the "junk" from the previous version, and it doesn't really backup photos for instance.

Samsung's SmartSwitch, at least for me, doesn't backup applications at all. I've tried the phone version as well as the computer one, the phone one crashes once it gets to the app part, the computer one finishes but then there are no apps backed up.

I tried Titanium Backup but I don't know exactly which is the best option, should I be backup just apps and data? Or system data as well? If the correct way is both and let's say that the new ROM is "more" debloated", wouldn't I be putting back in the bloatware by backing up system data as well?

As far as system is concerned I just want to backup something like alarms, memo, system settings like brightness and I think that's more or less it.

Thanks a lot to anyone that helps me, I've been making tons of backup recently trying to find the best solution but couldn't.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] baedaa:
Personally I use Titanium Backup, including unlimited external AppData (see in Settings). By that I get at least 80% of my apps back with all the settings done. My photos/videos are stored on my SD and backupped via google photos.

Always looking for a better and easier way to do all this, but for the moment that works pretty well. Still takes 1 - 1&1/2 hours to switch rom, restore backups and set up all my apps that could not be backupped completely.

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Rageweawer:
Hello,

I would like if there is any application similar to Samsung's one for OP3 - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.gametuner.thin

Thats designed to manage settings of every game - resolution, details, max FPS etc.. its great for own custom settings to safe battery/max out details when autodetect fails etc..

Im missing this feature when I used Samsung.

If there isnt any - can someone make it or its hard to make?

Thanks everyone!

I just received poetic affinity case. Case is perfect. Clear case with bumper in few colours. My is blue. Case fit perfect in hand. Bumper have perfect grip and because of that it's hard to drop your G5. But if you drop your phone i think that will not be any damage. All cuts on case it's perfect.

My simple question is going from marshmallow to the developer preview 5, currently I am at work and cannot backup my data I am full stock, so does the ota for the beta wipe my data?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rippley05:
No it doesn't. Well, at least the other builds didn't.

For some reason, my phone won't grab dp5. It says I'm up to date. Anyone else have this issue?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adubpak:
I'm in the same situation: my Nexus 6P doesn't seem to find the update.

On the developper preview page, it says it might take 24hrs to get it, but we're past that now.

I guess I'll just have to be patient!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Williek113:
I downloaded the ota zip file from the internet and just flashed it. Something interesting is happening. The Clock app is there but it isn't. I can't actually open it, but when I try to install it from the Play Store (there is a green box allowing the download, it doesn't say "update" or "open" btw) it says it's unable to install. Downloading and installing the apk from the internet returns an error that says theres a package already on my phone with by the same name. Looking through the system apps and my own user apps, the clock app is nowhere to be found.

So that's an issue I'm having, but I clean installed dev preview 5, I didn't take an update or anything

After uninstalling all relevant drivers my device is not being found at all with the mtp selected. I may have to reinstall the sdk and check if adb picks it up if so I may have to reconfigure my windows 7 drivers if not ill check on a netbook to see if my cable or my charger port is malfunctioning.

Still on marshmallow if any advice please feel free to reply

thank you
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mojorisin7178:
From what I read there are some issues with dp5 specifically for the 6p they are working on it. That is why we haven't gotten the OTA. I would not side load as you will have issues with it. If you did sidload I would go back to 4 or else opt out of the dev program and roll back to marshmallow and wait till the issue is fixed and opt back in to get dp5.

---------- Post added at 06:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 AM ----------

So you did not install the dp5 yet? Don't I hear there are issues with it. That is why it hasn't come to other peoples phone yet. And did you try different USB ports? I sometimes have a problem with one but not the others and it changes like USB ports are moody or something
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aamir.Badat:
What issues are they having with dp5 should I flash it or wait untill I can backup my data or should I just scratch it and unroll for the beta? Because I need to backup my data first. Also the issue with it not connecting could be just a Driver issue so I'll have to double check it when I get home
