why dont you work with [MENTION=4591212]me2151[/MENTION] if you have an h990ds?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] emdroidle:
'tis so. (note: I reserve the right to be slow)

I should add. The static after installing the US996 debug bootloader looked like it may have been rather more severe than other V20 devices. I was getting alternating narrow bars of discernible display and rather wider bars of spots on dark areas. This though was with a completely unmodified kernel.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] emdroidle:
Thinking about it, I'm really worried about how my H990DS looked with it's "static". That really didn't look like "static", but a rather heavily misprogrammed graphics chip. Given how badly misprogrammed, I have to suspect we'd need a kernel which almost completely reprogrammed the graphics chip before we got anything usable.

One of the earlier reports they went ahead and booted the boot1.img kernel and it sounded like it was compatible enough to merely have static. I'm left suspecting LG may have been programming the graphics chips differently enough in a deliberate attempt to make the firmwares incompatible. We may need a kernel which completely reprograms the graphics chip from the ground-up. Perhaps extracting the key initialization data from aboot.img.

Question is, where did that modem state message come from since that was readily intelligible with no distortion of any sort? Did it come from aboot or the kernel? In the latter case clearly the kernel can reprogram the graphics chip to a sane state, in the former case it sounds like time to analyze aboot.img.

I wonder how much people are going to actually pay. There are still quite a bit of deadbeats in the other bounty.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me7tarfeek:
I have the 990DS, but I am afraid that I will be slow in responding to your test requests as I am very busy with work related issue and I travel alot. If you wish, I will be happy to support.

By the way, this is my second device as the first one was damaged in the first trial to root :D. But I have no problem to test again since my primary device now is the Mate 9 which is already rooted.. :laugh:

Info: The shop replaced my 990DS because they could not fix it even that they knew I was trying to root it....
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
bro, just a question, but did you contact [MENTION=4591212]me2151[/MENTION] like suggested? If anyone hes the best one to help..

It sounds like you guys can use the aboot that is unlocked by default with fastboot enabled...

with that being said sounds like youd need a modified boot.img to get it booted up as the debug boot.img and any other boot.img appears to make it unbootable.. the battle seems over 50% won in your favor as you can unlock the BL...

Are you able to unlock BL then get twrp working?? If so I'd recommend unlocking BL, get twrp, then first start with the stock h990ds boot.img..

ours will boot with stock boot.img but its ecxtremely laggy and almost unuseable..

either way, unlocking the BL with debug aboot should allow fastboot and secure boot disabled.. so id try a custom h990ds boot.img with stock h990ds firmware

unfortunately im not familiar with kernels at all but i understand the h990ds is different enough youd need h990ds firmware as dirty santa works up until that point as it uses standard v20 (non dual sim) boot.img and aboot.img

basically the battle is half won if you can get aboot with fastboot enabled

---------- Post added at 02:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 PM ----------

hey buddy lol

id suggest pming [MENTION=4591212]me2151[/MENTION] .... best shot is HO on your mate 9 and have your pc set up with adb etc. and team viewer.. sounds like youre the best bet for a tester (we dont want to break your phone but if youre not using it as a daily :) )

i am not in a HO with [MENTION=4591212]me2151[/MENTION] nor do i claim to be able to provide you with root lol.. just implying HO iseasy to have contact and team viewer is essential as he could control without you doing much of anything

as I stated previously you guys can dirty cow aboot which unlocks bl with fastboot enabled.. if you can flash twrp then revert back you might be in luck but secure boot would need to remain disabled ( i assume youd need to keep the aboot on the device from debug) so as the laf doesnt push the stock recovery back on reboot
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me7tarfeek:
Will wait for [MENTION=4591212]me2151[/MENTION] and see how it goes.....

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] roosta:
It seems to me if LG or their source isn't somehow involved, the solution that may eventually become available (root) for the H990DS may be littered with issues relating to the modem, booting, or some other hardware or software miscalculation. That won't be classified as 'feasible' for a bounty unless out of box (standard) features work.

So if I'm forced to start looking in a couple of months...A replaceable battery is an awesome benefit, but the all-metal body might be a worry, as various 2016 flagships, including the v20 suffer from poor reception unless smack in the middle of the CBD. I'd also like it with infrared, 4GB RAM, quadcore CPU and be between 5.0-5.5" screen max. Wireless charging would be awesome...OLED is the bigger plus...I guess that points more to Samsung and chainfire?

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] emdroidle:
Yup, more than half won really. Having the debug aboot image unlocks all cryptographic verification of the boot image. The other half is still a problem though.

The observed behavior seems to suggest aboot does a significant amount of hardware initialization. Two approaches come to mind: Modifying a kernel to work with the hardware settings used by the debug aboot; or extracting the hardware initialization code from the H990DS aboot and modifying a kernel to more fully reinitialize the hardware on boot.

I'm kind of inclined towards the second approach. If we had a great deal of detail about how the debug bootloader set things up the first would work. I'm unsure we can get enough though. In particular the dual-SIM functionality is likely to be alien enough to prevent the former.

I'm finishing one experiment then I plan to retry things. The blue modem crash screen was interesting since it suggests something was able to get the graphics hardware out of the state the debug aboot had left it in. Problem is was that something in the kernel? Something in the lower-level firmware?

In particular dual-SIM functionality. I note two feasible approaches above, but I don't know which (if either) will work.

I like both infrared sending and receiving. Problem is LG's IR tools are designed strictly for emulating IR remotes and plenty of older devices can do a lot more over IR. HP calculators can transfer files (and emulate remotes), older cellphones can transfer contacts via IR. Personally, OLED are nice, but right now there are a few too many reports of burn-in.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] exadeci:
OP's post says that he's fine with being a guinea pig but I can be a tester too.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
I don't have time anymore for it. That post was a few days ago. [MENTION=6984210]emdroidle[/MENTION] Is on the right track though. The "blue modem crash" he describes is due to the debug bootloader. Do keep in mind that we flashed a H918(nondebug) Bootloader to a H915 and it flat out bricked the device(This isn't public knowledge :) ) If you can get the proper initialization from the debug bootloader I feel that the 990DS is a possibility.

I will sell v20 990ds and buy huwai mate 9 because of the bootloader lock
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] abudgx:
The bootloader is unlocked. We just need a working boot.img.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] emdroidle:
Could someone run the command `adb shell getprop ro.product.name` and report the result?

There is a bit of funkiness in LG's kernel sources and it seems the relationship between the device model name and device board type is a bit non-linear. I'm guessing the result will be "elsa_global_com", but I want to be sure before I devote too much effort in this direction.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] m0nstr:
Yes. I got answer 'elsa_global_com'
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] GilesMoxom:
Not sure if this is news but I have TWRP up and working on my H990DS just nothing to flash..

It also seems to have corrupted my stock boot in the process as I now get a "your device is corrupted" error message or a blue screen of death on boot.

However with a clever use of the power button and the up volume button I can get him into TWRP..

what should I do now?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
Thats where everyone is. No news there.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] GilesMoxom:
Does this mean i have successfully bricked my phone?

Is there a way to get it working again from here?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
Not bricked. There is a KDZ available for your phone to restore it.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] GilesMoxom:
Awesome. Ill give that a crack now.

Is there anything else you need tested on the 990DS while im around?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] emdroidle:
Nice, this makes things simple. I think I have everything in place for a successful DirtySanta on the H990DS, but I'm not quite ready for release yet. Should happen within the next two weeks at worst.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] emdroidle:
The single-SIM versions are a much easier target. I won't be testing on a single-SIM, but I would be really astonished if it doesn't work unmodified.

The difficulty is ensuring everything really is working. I think I'm almost there, but still worried the Princess may be in the next castle.

If you have time, would you mind explaining a bit of where you are since you received the feedback on getprop? How did that help you?

For a noob in this aspect, I'm trying to understand how the whole process is going to work and how it differs from what was done on the US variants in order to achieve an unlocked bootloader and root.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] capfirepants:

[Huawei Watch] jebise101:
Just wondering what data is synced to the cloud? I understand it syncs WiFi passwords and Hangouts which makes sense.

But what about:

SMS

Phone Calls

Facebook

Email (not gmail)

Other apps

I don't want all my notifications syncing to the GOOGLE cloud and its not clear how this works exactly and im not ready to "test" it.
[Huawei Watch] foo:
You will receive every notification you would normally get, so all of the ones which you mentioned.

I'm also not sure how it works but I don't think the notifications are stored for a longer time in the Google cloud. I think the feature is quite useful as it happens that I leave the Bluetooth range at home and the watch connects by WiFi then.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] bungle2k3:
Hello guys, I have a strange thing. I have brought a new LG G5 phone and flashed the Team win and Cyanagon and successfully (it seems) and unlocked the bootloader via the official LG site, but on boot the phone asks for a SIM network unlock pin but it will not accept any codes and says 255 retires?! even got codes from CellUnlocker.net and it wont accept that. Still 255 retries? Any ideas?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] falkenbein:
It's a netlock. Please contact your provider. Here in Germany you must be waiting 24 months or pay a couple of Euros to the provider.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] bungle2k3:
trouble is it doesn't seem to accept any code, I do not know what network the phone was on previously :mad:

I wonder if it has been IMEI blocked? is there a way to check. I wonder if it is something in unlocking the bootloader that has gone wring as is saying I have 255 retries and your only supposed to have 10? :confused:
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Miustone:
I really have to do that X Times per weak. Why do You Post here? Reported...
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] bungle2k3:
^ as I think it may be an issue with flashing the ROM as oppose to the standard SIM lock!

Note LG boot loader unlocked, through offical website, Team Win successfully flashed and running - but Network unlock is 255 retries not the standard 10 - and I have the code, and still not work?

am fairly experienced, but this seems like a bug ? :eek:

either that or the phone is imei blocked but I have registered with it successfully with LG as a developer no problem
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] falkenbein:
Call your provider where you bought the phone. Only the network provider has the code for the netlock.

[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
Hi,

I have purchased a Lenovo Vibe Z2 mobile phone from a website but it was shipped from Hong Kong. The phone arrived (here in the UK) all brand new (wrapping still on it) and I'm happy with it (well it works).

On further reading, apparently the Lenovo Vibe Z2 is a model with spyware built into the ROM, and this spyware can lead people to hacking you or spying on your calls/texts/data usage. Clearly, I don't want this.

I have installed Malwarebytes and 360 Security to hopefully detect any malicious content. The scans reported no threats. I guess that doesn't mean there are no threats but just the scans didn't detect any. Maybe if the malware is built into the ROM (so I've read) then the scans will think it is friendly software, or maybe the scans don't scan the ROM.

1) How can I tell if my phone is loaded with spyware or any malicious content?

2) How can I remove this spyware if it is installed?

3) Do I need to use internet security or anti virus with my Lenovo Android phone?

Someone has suggested doing a ROM install with official firmware. I'm lost with this suggestion so it raises a few more questions:

1) Is the suggestion the usual way to remove malicious software?

2) Can I be sure it will actually remove the malicious software, or is it a try and hope scenario?

3) Is there a particular official version of firmware I need for my Lenovo Vibe Z2?

4) Is there a link or video that can show me a) where to download a SAFE version of the official firmware b) and how to do a ROM install?

I'm willing to give a try if it is the standard approach to removing malicious software but I just don't know how to do it at present.

I'm not a phone buff. I simply would like a clean phone (i.e. no malicious content) to make and receive calls/texts and to browse the net without anyone spying on, or recording what I'm doing.

Please advise?

Thanks.

I don't think you can recover the data if you hadn't backed up. You could flash the original Motorola factory image if you've lost everything and only have fastboot/recovery or use USB-OTG to flash stock or custom ROM.

I have a problem with my xperia U phone, yesterday the screen suddenly went blank, i could see some backlight but nothing would turn the screen on, pressing power button would restart the device. After some googling i figured out that this only happens after i enter pin number of my sim card and if phone is in 2G. Solution was to remove sim card, set it to 3G, reinsert sim card and then it was ok. I tried factory reseting the phone but it doesn't help. What could be done ?
