sorry, my mistake, the error was couldn't find flash_all_except_storage.bat

but when I looked into the folder where I extracted the ROM, I saw there was no flash_all_except_storage.bat file. There was flash_all_except_data_storage.bat, so I renamed it to flash_all_except_storage.bat and the corresponding .sh file as well. And the flashing process worked this time...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] ade.sultan:
I saw people talking in the MiUi forum that the unlocking process works in Global Stable as well, but most people prefer the developer version. So I gave it a shot, and well, failed
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Wilderone:
So you still haven't unlocked?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] gsmyth:
I think you need to be on the China dev/beta rom as Wilderone advises, that's how I did it and it worked without a problem. Use the SP flash tool,seems scary but pretty straight forward and you just need to to read and follow the instructions.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] ade.sultan:
Nope, haven't unlocked yet... Any link/walkthrough is appreciated, anybody?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] ade.sultan:
And I still can't find the OEM unlock button. I downloaded the rom from official forum, so it's not vendor customized. Shouldn't the OEM unlock button be under the developer options menu?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] gsmyth:
If the OEM unlock button doesn't show,its probably because your on a vendor rom. You need to download the fastboot rom to flash with and follow the instructions at the link below.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] ade.sultan:
Sorry for being stupid again, but I'm pretty sure I flashed the fastboot ROM from the official forum, still no OEM unlock button.

Also, I couldn't find any china/Global Developer ROM for RN4, can you give me any link please?

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] gsmyth:
Sorry not sure if my link worked,i tried to link directly to the correct file. If you go to the link below and download latest China developer fastboot file, look for the Redmi note 4. This is the file you need to use with SP flash tool. When booting up the rom for the first time, you need to log in using your mi account, you should then be able to go to developer settings and look for mi lock option where you can switch it on to allow bootloader unlock.

hi there

I want to upgrade ram into 128mb. what I read, there are several conditions to optimize new ram (128mb), one of them is must use g4.

how I check the board is g4 or g3?

also, can I use any ram to upgrade?

thanks for the help
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Midget_1990:
you mis-understand, you cant use g4, only g3 works as of now.

also no you need the specific chips.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] zeeshansohail:
You can tell if your device is G3 or G4 by entering into BootLoader mode. If the BootLoader version is less than 1.99999 than it is a G3 device. If the BootLoader version is greater than 2.00000 than it is a G4 device!

And you need to replace the RAM chip on your device to upgrade it to 128MB. It needs soldering of the chip onto the motherboard, so i'd recommend that you get it done by someone who's had experience doing it. Don't know if both G3 or G4 devices can be jumped up to 128MB RAM, someone else is gonna have to fill up on that one!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] shoulders:
i think this guys G4 works

Work fine with G4 128MB RAM!!! see below

How fast does it run compared to the stock rom?
[LG G Pad X 8.0 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] xtremelora:
How fast it can go is a subjective matter:

It will depend on hardware lifetime span (how you use it and how other people use this tablet).

It will depend how much apps and content you put in it (the more things you download the more slow android is gonna be, this is kind a Swap area).

I did not do a benchmark, when I declared that is faster than a stock rom is because that speed response enhacement it comes based on the Deodex and Zipalign process. It can be or maybe not noticeable to your eyes but based on deodex and zipalign process is for sure that is faster than an odex and not-zipaligned rom.

The best answer is that you need to try it on your own and see the difference.

Please only select the apps that you really need or you really think that should comes with the next revision of iPioneer Slim rom.

This will help me to build a better version with features that users needs.
[LG G Pad X 8.0 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] xtremelora:
C'mon guys... only 3 users have use the poll...

I need more data background in order to release a new version of the Slim line version (may be the last one).

All V521 users please contribute with this.

Right now I'm testing a new build that it seems to have success stoping ota download and notification & I have removed even more bloat background packages.

As of today I start the syncing process of CyanogenMod for our device, so all I ask is that V521 users vote in the poll so I can build and release what I think it would be the last Slim version (iPioneer Slim 0.2) based on users needs.

Once I start the developtment with CM I will not pay attentions to the Stock & Slim version until I finish with what is gonna become iPioneer CM 13.

Thank you for your attention guys.

BTW: sorry for my english, I try so hard to write all this in a good way. Arriba Mexico Papa!!!
[LG G Pad X 8.0 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] googlephone:
The reason is that the xda app can't see the vote going on.

[LG G Pad X 8.0 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] googlephone:
Another reason is not many users are interested enough in a slimmed stock rom. The benefits of a slimmed stock rom may include less system storage usage. But the free uped system storage is not accessible for users to use as data storage anyway. Speedwise, I wouldn't expect noticeable improvement from a slimmed stock rom. As a result, the benefits of a slimmed stock rom is not enough to draw users' attention or interest.

I am a flashholic but I actually not interested in slimmed stock at all because I already have root.

I personally advise you to not spend too much time on modified stock rom.

I appreciate your work and look forward to your future possible cm rom, which I will definitely try it out and will draw many g pad x users here. And don't forget there is a bounty for custom roms like cm.
[LG G Pad X 8.0 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] xtremelora:
You are right about working in a stock version. The reason why I'm doing this is because we all know that CM most of the time has bugs, bluetooh problems, camera issues, data conectivity troubles, etc...

Sooooo, if the version of CM I'm going to compile it results with many bugs there is gonna be the option to go back to stock slimed or stock bloated.

I can build a CM verion but Im not the kind of guy who inverts his time in CODE MODIFICATION, so hopefully the build it comes with no bugs at all or at least no major bugs.

The other alternative is that I can sync, compile and build and one more guys can do the bug fixes.
[LG G Pad X 8.0 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Munns86:
That would be great! I think if you took a poll most people would prefer a CM build to a slimmed down stock build.
[LG G Pad X 8.0 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] xtremelora:
Yeah, I know that. Wish me luck.

Right now I'm stuck trying to get the Blobs for this device and compiling the kernel so I can build the CM recovery, once I have the recovery done I can start compiling CM and start testing.

I'm trying to by pass the kernel (as is not need it right now to build the recovery) but for some reason the system is demanding an standard and working kernel... weird...

But honestly speaking is gonna take lot of time. So be patient guys.

There is already a TWRP recovery for v521. Why you need to compile cm recovery?
[LG G Pad X 8.0 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] xtremelora:
Ik, is just a prebuilt because our device doesnt have a device tree or structure already, so making this at first is gonna help me to buil the cm zip.

Is not need it if a device tree already exist but not in this case, just see it like a pretesting of code for this device.

When I try to compile this recovery things are gonna break so you get info of what is missing, what you need, log, etc... So you fix everything you can in this step and then you build the cm.zip in a better way (less issues).
[LG G Pad X 8.0 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] shabbypenguin:
https://github.com/Shabbypenguin/android_device_lge_b3

device tree has been around for a while, it obviously will need some renaming to work for cm source but its a good foundation to start with.
[LG G Pad X 8.0 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] xtremelora:
These are your device tree for twrp 4 b3 right?

Let me see if I can work with that, I was almost done building the cm.recovery and fixing some boot.img issues but if I can take your files that would save time.

Did you forked that device tree or u just build it from scratch?

If you forked them, from what device?

I was thinking on pulling the v500 just to figure out some sort of missing info I havent been able to catch from ramdisk.
[LG G Pad X 8.0 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] shabbypenguin:
i built it from scratch, id be careful looking too much at the v500, it's a snapdragon 600 SOC which is very old and is a quad core. the 615 in the g pad x is octacore and much newer. even the ramdisk is going to have big differences in how its handled.

[LG G Pad X 8.0 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] mollymmcdonel:
lg v521

I am on 10c base on the LG V521 8.0 tablet.

I managed to get it to pick it up on LGUP but all that did was wipe everything. It went from telling me the system was corrupt to some warning that the encryption was unsuccessful and then finally it booted back to TWRP after messing with it for a day?

So now TWRP is showing

internal storage-0 MB

Micro SDCard- 0 MB

USB OTG - 0MB

I took out the SD card and copied the rom onto it from my pc, now I am crossing my fingers that it will install using TWRP.... it seems to be moving along fine

Now at the end of install I have a red warning

'Failed to mount '/data' (unknown error 150)'

...done

how should i proceed?

---------- Post added at 08:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 PM ----------

I tried to reboot system and it just brings me back to TWRP?

Do I need to mount the /data somehow and if so, please explain how... I am a newbie I suppose so I do need step by step if possible. Please and thank you!
[LG G Pad X 8.0 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] xtremelora:
Go to advance wipe and select Data, Cache, Dalvick and System and wipe it, then push the Format Data button, type yes, reboot to recovery, do an standard wipe x3 and flash the rom.
[LG G Pad X 8.0 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] mollymmcdonel:
I did just as you said..

when i got to the part where I was installing the rom it went fine all but the very beginning when it checked the md5 or whatever, right after that it said

'unmount system failed'

the process kept going and finally said 'done'

just rebooted system and it boots right back to TWRP?
[LG G Pad X 8.0 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] mollymmcdonel:
I have tried everything you said multiple times.

My tablet just keeps booting to TWRP recovery. When I am in TWRP main screen and click

>Mount

The next page shows a list of partitions to Mount...

*Cache

* Data

System

Firmware

*Micro SDCard

USB OTG

The ones in red are not really red in TWRP but I made them red to show they are the ones with checkmarks. I try selecting System and it just unchecks itself.

How do I get /system to mount?
[LG G Pad X 8.0 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] xtremelora:
Ok, before you said that you use LGUP right?

What did you do with LGUP?

What version of twrp are you using?

If nothing is solving the problem you need to use LGUP and run the 10c kdz (original or the one rooted by tungkick) to restore your device.

It seems that you did something that it corrupts a partition and that is why your device can not properly boot. Or you was not on 10c and overflash the wrong rom.

The message of mount system fail is normal, it happens to me too when Im trying changes on the rom and Im flashing it every 10 minutes but it doesn't break the system.
[LG G Pad X 8.0 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] xtremelora:
Besides that have you tried to re-download the rom or have you tried to flash the Stock one (iPioneer Stock)?
[LG G Pad X 8.0 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] mollymmcdonel:
so, LGUP was the only thing that worked from it being totally stuck on the screen that said

'device software cant be checked for corruption'

It was stuck there so I just pressed buttons until it responded finally. I had it plugged in and LGUP was open, it recognized the device and then started to do like an update of firmware. That is what the screen showed. I am not positive what update it gave it but then once it finished successfully it rebooted to TWRP and since then TWRP is the only thing that will boot?

I tried wiping system, delvik, cache and then formatting data then installing the rom (a newly downloaded copy on my exSDCard) it went fine all but the stsem not mounting... and That is where I am now.

TWRP version : 3.0.2-0

Also, I cannot get LGUP to recognize the device again. Not sure how I did it the first time. :confused:

[LG G Pad X 8.0 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] joeblowma:
If it helps any, the simplest method to enter download mode (provided the download mode partition hasn't been corrupted or replaced) for LGUP to work is:

-power off device

-hold volume up, plug in usb (to pc)

You can also get there by holding volume up and powering on or rebooting the device, but the timing of when to release what is a little trickier.

[LG G Pad X 8.0 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] mollymmcdonel:
thank you! I was actually able to finally get it to pick up on LGUP and it did something but the tablet still reboots to TWRP every time?

The system partition is always unchecked in MOUNT after I check it, and mount /system is the only error when I try to reinstall the rom. Other than that its functioning fine... Just cant seem to figure out how to mount the system?
[LG G Pad X 8.0 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] mollymmcdonel:
good news if you havent already got your device up and running again, try this...

Pry off the back of your tablet and unplug the battery cable. (I was able to unplug using a bobby pin that I slid under the battery connection wire and then pull straight up. It just pushes back in like a snap.)

download LG Bridge

download LGUP

Leave unplugged for 5 minutes.

Plug in the USB and connect to pc

Now with the USB plugged into device and PC, reconnect battery to device while holding the +Volume button

This should take you to a screen with a USB icon as big as your screen that shows a progress bar at the bottom and says 'UPGRADE FIRMWARE' or something similar.

If you see that screen you should be able to open LG BRIDGE

LGBridge will tell you that you can update firmware, do that!

Let it run its course and reboot istelf.

When it comes back on you will see a screen asking you: language settings

Congrats your device is a device again!

From there I used LGUP to install a .dz ROM which took me back to LG V521 V10c

from there I am restarting the entire root and custom rom process *fingers crossed

Still no luck

I have tried every which way I can. All it does is starts up in TWRP. Ive pulled the battery, held down power up, etc etc. I can get to fastboot mode or TWRP, but LGUP just cant seem to recognize the device no matter what I do. I think all the partitions are somehow corrupt. I likely made a brick. Im going to try loading a .dz file to an sd card and use that.

EDIT: SUCCESS! I finally got it to work. I was using my Galaxy Tabpro S which apparently doesn't work through the USB-c port. I went to Bestbuy and bought the cheapest open-box PC I could find and that worked.
