that's the factory unlocked version right? Can you unlock the bootloader?
[Android General] PolskiSer:
Yes it is. I've just bought the device so I don't know how to check if I can unlock bootloader. Maybe someone more experienced with this model will tell.
[Android General] paulakierez:
hi, there! i just bought the LG X Power today (LG K220ds) in Chile. Its unlocked for every company. I could unlock the bootloader via ADB

hope this helps :good:
[Android General] Morecs:
same as above, Brazilian LG K220ds (MTK MT6735), carrier unlocked and bootloader unlockable via ADB, plus same root method as the mediatek LG K10.
[Android General] paulakierez:
hi Morecs! it means you can root it? can you show us how? thanks!
[Android General] michal.rutkowski:
Would be great if it would work for other countries devices.

Hmmm thanks for the info.. Doea your MTK MT6735 come with 1.3Ghz Quad or 1.8Ghz Octa-core?

Exactly how did you unlock the bootloader? What command?
[Android General] Morecs:
- in settings/about phone/software info tap on build number about 10 times so you unlcok developer options

- in settings/developer options tick on "oem unlock" and "usb debugging" and untick "verify apps over usb"

- in settings/security tick on "unknown sources" and untick "verify apps"

- make sure you installed all the drivers for your mobile from lg's site (LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.1.1.exe and also lg bridge)

- set up adb/fasboot using 15 seconds adb installer: https://xdaforums.com/sho....php?t=2588979

- go to the folder it's installed (in my case it's C:/adb - adb.exe and fastboot.exe supposed to be there) hold shift and right click "open cmd here"

- in the command window type "adb devices"

it will start adb services and will print a line like "...lgk220"

if you can't find your device there check device manager or google how to work things out

normally in device manager you should find "LGE Mobile USB Serial Port" under Ports

- now reboot to fastboot mode typing the command: "adb reboot bootloader"

your phone should go blank and only print fastboot mode on the bottom of the screen

- check your fastboot connection: type: "fastboot devices"

same as before (in my case it was writing some unrecognizable letters - probably wrong coding) if you see nothing then check device manager

you may try to install android SDK (command line tool is enough - https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html - bottom of the page

if the connection is not working - however there must be a way to make it work (i had a hard time in device manager - i changed each driver a million times until it worked)

in device manager you should find "android bootloader interface" in my case its under "samsung android phone" i don't know why but it works

- In case you have a working adb and fastboot connection type (if you lost connection you have to get to fastboot again: "adb reboot bootloader"):

"fastboot oem unlock" - the phone will ask you if you really mean it, using the volume and the on/off buttons (twice) you can accept

you will lose all your data!!! and most likely lose warranty as well!!!

however your phone shell restart just fine (there should be some message during boot up that your system is vulnerable from now on.

- after reboot you may want to check if your bootloader is really unlocked: get back to fastboot and type "fastboot getvar all" and find the line which sais if your bootloader is unlocked (if it's not you may repeat the process)

need TWRP or a custom recovery to root (not really mandatory, but it would make it waay easier)
[Android General] paulakierez:
thanks, Morecs. can you share the recovery you used? i couldn't find any in internet
[Android General] goitalone:
Thanks... Won't help me since I have the LS755, just wondering if anything was done differently at all than previous LG phone series, but it sounds pretty much the same.
[Android General] Morecs:
[MENTION=5999952]paulakierez[/MENTION]

I don't have a custom recovery, someone with the knowledge has to port TWRP.

my K220 is not rooted since I don't need root, I just suppose that the rooting method should be the same as the mediatek k8/k10 because the bootloader unlocking was the same as them.

Unlocked the bootloader hoping for Lineage OS or other custom roms.

Did you guys see any strange dots beneath the screen glass when you tilt the phone with bright screen? To check it you have to watch the screen from all angles on white screen without anything on it.

[Android General] Kapyszon:
I've reported this 9th october last year on Polish android forum. I'd rather say these are white lines that you can see when you tilt the screen as michal.rutkowski said. I've attached two pictures. You can barely see them on the pics but with naked eye you can see them very good. 3 persons (with me) reported that they also have this. One guy said that he sent his phone to the service and they replaced the screen but he still have those "things". You have to maximum the brightness, open something with white background and tilt the device too see this

The issue I had with this is many have the one with mediatek and then most of the USA folks had a snapdragon so how could we ever get a universal root more often than not in the last couple years I keep seeing the euro versions of devices seem to be rooted and/or bootloader unlocked easier than the USA variants I really like this device but since it seemed rather hopeless to gain even root on the k450 I ultimately rid myself of the device and went with a Moto since they are by far more dev friendly than the LG and Samsung devices nowadays makes me sick to see how selfish and money hungry our mobile providers have gotten in the USA forcing all this bloat and over half the apps they shove down your throat you never even use thereby wasting valuable space. Thankfully you can utilize adoptable storage on the k450 although you have to manually set it up through a shell prompt since the migrate data option is not there but luckily they left the binaries to achieve this in place and unprotected from needing elevation of privileges.

All the other phones that boost mobile offers are of same or slightly better hardware than the Elevate, up until the Samsung Galaxy J7 which is $149.

I just downloaded SyncMate to sync my Kaiser to my Mac at work, but when I plug my phone in, it doesn't see it. It's listed in the system profiler, but that's it.

Anyone try this yet?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] miracleboy:
I depend on syncmate being on a mac mini while relocating tot he east coast. I have been using this software for a bout a month now on a MBP, mac mini and an imac. All seemed to locate the device without a problem. It will try to load a driver to your tilt. have you seen that occur yet. I am still trying to decide if I am brave enough to flash from my SD or if there is a way to do it with syncmate (although doubtful seeing that most kitchen's rely on executables most likely crafted in VBs environments).

Long story short, works for me. Mac OSX 10.5(x).

Good luck.

It's sad to think most developers are limited in their perspectives. your question is one I have been asking since I bought my tilt. I am very much pro apple and the iPhones have not lured me yet, althought I am finally getting tempted, if the SDK portions didn't have to go through apple's engineering and legal process (my intelecctual property rights are demolished by their agreements).

I'm trying to not through up a virtual win(x) environ on this mac min as it is my wife's and in a few days I'll have a new mbp or mb (depends on what I can convince my new employer that I get, tho they are pro win(x) so hoping for the mbp so I can bootcamp and ReFit it).

I side with not a Treo fan. I don't know the HTC framework well enough to confidently state that it could be done. Given my wife and son are back trying to sell our home in Utah and I am in CT, means I have time to investigate. I will look.

Again, I like SyncMate, but have heard great things about Missing sync, too. You're one of many that like that application. Me being the cheapskate I am (I prefer the term frugal), I like SyncMate and it's overall design, look and feel.

Here's to happy flashing natively in OSX soon :)

I tried formatting with windows and got error message windos was unable to complete format

I tried with chkdisk and got error saying the partition is RAW format

I tried using Minitools Partition recovery wizard. It showed that there is no partition. So I created a partition, and applied. After finishing all the operation, It showed bad disk

I tried to format with ubuntu and got the following error.

I tried with gparted. Same like minitools, It showed my disk as unallocated partition.

I tried to create a partition and got this error

Then I tried to create a partition table and got the errors

If there is no way to fix my card, Samsung may provide replacement. But I am concerned about possibilities of Data Recovery and Misuse if I give my card to them.

[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] veezybaybee:
I had the same issue once with the same card. Thank god I made a backup earlier. I am not sure if this is a Moto problem or the card's but I did found out something. When Marshmallow asks to format the card as internet or portable, it doesn't quite reads the type. But once you format it as internal in order to move all the apps and then decide to format it as portable later, the phone acts weird and ultimately, the card starts having problems. If you ask me personally, I always hated this "format as internal" ****ty feature in Marshmallow. I really hope Nougat will fix this ridiculous issue.

I had bought my Evo from Amazon and they always have an amazing return policy. My card got corrupted within a month and I called them immediately to initiate a refund process. But the fact is the card was never corrupted. The phone made it that way! Now I am using a Sandisk Ultra 16 gb but I only inserted it after formatting it in my pc as FAT32. And then made it portable in my Moto of course. These memory cards usually have a very low life. It gets corrupted quite easily if proper care is not taken.

I suggest you return your card or get it fixed under your warranty asap man. And always remember, do not format it as internal memory. You dont wanna risk all your private stuffs by doing that. SD cards are always better as portable. After all, they were made for that purpose!

Good luck and Good day! :)

Fix Corrupted RAW Samsung EVO 32GB card

While formatting the Windows system, if your Samsung EVO 32GB card corrupted then do not worry, just try some easy ways to fix raw SD card and recover data from your raw SD card. First of all, I think you try use the Disk Management Tool which is an inbuilt tool present in Windows system. Also, you try to use CHKDSK command. After trying these ways, you can try to ix corrupted raw SD card and then recover the data from SD card.
