[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ankade:
no true

Wrong.

You made that up.

Not true.

After rooting, it got stuck at the ATT logo forever. Instructions said wait 15 minutes.

When it got stuck much longer than an hour on the ATT logo, I pulled the battery, went back into TWRP, and flashed LineageOS.

To reiterate: After unlocking&rooting I never tested whether the mobile internet still worked. So you made this up: the phone was NOT proven fine after rooting.

No, not quite.

The issue started after dirtysanta unlock AND root AND LineageOS.

When I finally got it all working, I started installing my apps, etc.

However, sadly, and because I was ill for days, I never went outside during those first enthusiastic days.

I was really happy that I had a new LineageOS phone.

Then I went outside - and noticed in horror that the mobile data was broken suddenly. THAT WAS THE FIRST MOMENT WHEN THE MOBILE DATA WAS PROVEN NOT WORKING.

I really start loose my patience with your personal attacks against me.

I bought a brand new phone, and it is three-quarters-broken now.

I just want help how to fix it again.

And possibly help others by improving the instructions, so that my phone might be the last one that needed to be sacrificed.

You spreading lies about what I have not done ... is not helpful at all for that.

I did read carefully what to do, and followed these 2 instructions:

https://xdaforums.com/v20/how-to/guide-root-twrp-lg-v20-using-dirtysanta-t3722278

https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/h910/install

You are mixing up stuff, man.

I encountered ANY mentioning of that EFS partition many many MANY days later.

Only when I was looking for a solution how to fix the loss of mobile data AFTER dirtysanta+root+TWRP+LineageOS.

And I found it IN THE RESSURRECTION REMIX THREAD NOT IN THE LINEAGEOS THREAD.

The official LineageOS instructions here https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/h910/install do not mention anything about any EFS partition.

Can you finally acknowledge that please. Please.

Think of me as a newb, yes - but stop hinting at me as the idiot.

So ... the above needed to be said, please stop your alternative truths. Thanks. Better help other people not me anymore, thanks. Much appreciated that you tried, but this is long not helpful anymore.

Back on track:

I did follow the instructions. They were possibly wrong or incomplete, yes.

IF you are 100% sure that without the old EFS partition, my phone is broken forever now, and

IF you are sure that I cannot simply use the EFS partition of someone else,

THEN ... I can simply throw that phone in the bin now, or use it as a WiFi Tablett.

Would save me further dozens of hours of needless trying.

And perhaps someone adds that sad fact to ALL the essential instructions.

---

I still hope that we can fix it, and for the past few hours, I have been trying out all possible permutations of all partitions of mine and of the h910-10r.zip (because the h910-10r.zip alone resulted in no network at all, not even for voice calling --> Looks as if I have to restore at least my old firmware partition, after installing h910-10r.zip ... otherwise not even voice calling)

Thanks for your hints, Phoenix591 and pierro78! Much much appreciated. I keep on trying. Will keep you posted ... but where? -->

What is clear for sure is that I have to find a better place for my discussion here, because this thread here IS about unlock&root, and my problem is probably not related to that

(even though the me2151 and dksoni411 instructions should probably mention to BACKUP THE EFS PARTITION immediately, as soon as TWRP is on the phone).

LOS itself points to reddit, but I got no answers in their subreddit yet.

The LOS-15.1 thread here on xda is full of people but wrong - they ignore me, as I am using 14.1 anyways.

However, this 14.1 thread is unmaintained: https://xdaforums.com/v20/development/dev-cm14-t3509953/post78408146#post78408146 so

... which other place would be better?? Thanks.
