I have got the 4 files as mentioned but would not let me copy to my sd card or the pc. I also changed the permission using chmod 0777.

At the moment I have these files in the root directory of my phone.
[G4 General] rlamba:
Has anyone managed to copy the files to pc or sd card. Need help.
[G4 General] SavageRobot:
*

chown -R media_rw:media_rw /data/media/0

chmod -R 0666 /data/media/0

?

Assume that what you meant. Sorry but I can't help, mine worked and copied across fine. The file sizes look right? All I can suggest is try the process again, like I say mine worked flawlessly and copied as expected.
[G4 General] rlamba:
I tried without making backups of files drm.img,misc.img and persistent.img. My phone still says unlocked. I have wasted lot of time and decided to go back RR 7.11 ROM.

Thanks for your time.
[G4 General] SavageRobot:
These were the files you needed before you unlock bootloader. They are backups before flashing unlock.bin. If you already been on RR you have already unlocked bootloader so would have been no good to you anyway.
[G4 General] rlamba:
Just trying to see if I can relock the bootloader in case I need to send my phone for repair back to LG. I still have 9 months warranty.
[G4 General] Minto107:
You already fd it up. You needed to get partitions before unlocking bootloader, copy them to SD or PC then unlock. Unlocking bootloader erases your data so that's why u need to get em on pc before unlocking

[G4 General] rlamba:
I did not fd it up. I got the 4 partitions on my phones root directory matching the size mentioned in the instruction. As my phone is already unlocked, i moved on to relocking instruction. So the question of erasing data does not arise. As i could not copy 4 image files to my pc or sdcard i do not need to bring them back to phone. I can live without relocking the bootloader. Motherboards only cost about USD 45 from china. It is not bothering with LG's repair centre.
[G4 General] Minto107:
Size is same before and after unlocking. There are some changes in files that matter. If you have them now(after unlocking, not before) then they don't really matter. Sorry if I misunderstood you ;)
[G4 General] sartana:
After i bakup files on step 3, i can't read and write no more on internal sd card. All files seems gone, or better, have size 0 kb, it's seems a problem of permission to me. How can i solve?
[G4 General] Minto107:
Using chmod commands from OP ;)
[G4 General] sartana:
Done, or better, i try without success.

Don't know why don't work. I also try to use upgrade option to flash the same rom in Lgup whitout success, so i had to use refurbish option in Lgup to solve, but sadly i lost all data (obvius).

I retry tomorrow all process from begin.
[G4 General] Snah:
Sorry for asking a noob question: Would it be possible to edit a "universal" locked backup and insert a specific phone's credentials? I understand it's not possible right now. My question is if it could be in the future.

[Written by my thumbs on a state-of-the-art Nokia 3110.]
[G4 General] Minto107:
I think it is. You can compare files before and after unlock then modify files from other phone. Seems simple but I know it's not that easy. It may take long time to do so and I don't think that anyone is working on it
[G4 General] Snah:
Ok. I don't know how to do that, ie to find out what to change. I think many of us who still are under warranty and rooted without backup would support such work financially.

This is really interesting!

Thanks for your work,

[G4 General] sartana:
Ok, i retry again. Dump partitions, save to sd, reboot phone after step 2, then my sdcard are no more accessible.

I try again to use chmod but don't work at all. Very Strange

Thanks man, this teach me to read carefully all post in a thread.

I solved the problem
[G4 General] Minto107:
I used command from OP but not to all files in my SD card but only to dumped partitions :P maybe it worked because of this :P

Guys, i am in trouble here :(

Want to relock my bootloader because i have to send it to repair (this time its ghost images in display).

When ill flash the 3 partitions with send command my bootloader doesnt get relocked.

Could it be because i am on another 20G rom than it has during backup of the partitions?

Before backing it up ill just looked at v20-EUR and downloaded the kdz from autoprime.

Maybe thay dont match?

Also have a full_dump, is it safe to flash it?

Whats the command?

thx

pOpY

---------- Post added at 09:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:31 PM ----------

is the dd command?

dd if=/data/media/0/full_dump.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=4096 count=1552384
[G4 General] Minto107:
Before trying to relock, get back on exactly the same firmware as you were before unlocking(flash KDZ) then try again if it doesn't work just hard brick your phone. Flash any other firmware than v20g and flash partitions back. You will kill it and LG will repair it as they can't even turn it back on ;)
[G4 General] popy2006:
Update: I have restored the full_dump.img with the command above and now my bootloader is locked again :p

When just restoring the 3 small partitions, bootloader was not relocked.

So i am good to go and send my G4 the second time to service center:(

Never ever an LG Sartpphone again!

PS: Maybe adding this to the OP would be helpfull for someone :o

---------- Post added at 10:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 PM ----------

thats a good hint :D

I was on the exact same firmware v20g-EUR-XX, in the time between backup (unlock) and restore (lock) i had Ressurection Remix and gone back to v20g-EUR-XX with autoprimes KDZ.

Nevermind, it didnt work relock the BL with just the three partitions.

Now after flashing the full dump the BL is locked again and phone is working as expected (no IMEI lost, all is working, ...)

[G4 General] Minto107:
Good to know all that stuff now. I'm glad I did full dump either... I guess there is some partition missing that's why it doesn't relock as it should

Hey do you think I can restore DRM only to get DRM secured content working again? I didnt realize that my TV provider's mobile app uses DRM to play mobile TV.
[G4 General] Skot78:
Hello there! So i would like to ask something stupid....

First...if i refurbish my phone with LGUP...still be unlocked?

I have a H815 and today started bootlooping...F**k...It's unlocked and i don't have the original partitions backup. And i have no clue witch version of rom was on the phone when make it unlocked...

So there is any way to relock in this case? Because i can boot in somethimes...But there is LineAge OS installed currently...So i think i have to go back stock rom...Maybe V20X i think...So any sollution? Because unlocked bootloader...in hungary, there is no way to service in warranty...Sorry for my bad english...
[G4 General] 94burns:
Hi,

I have tried step 2 multiple times, but every time i go to step 3 the files are not there. Any idea what im doing wrong?
[G4 General] dianxxyyzz:
Do not try to hard brick a LG g4 by deleting partitions or flashing a wrong image ,so it to appear as dead phone and expect they will see it not powering up ,and they will just replace it because it is still under warranty.

Lg g4 can not be hard bricked by deleting partitions or flashing wrong firmware .

Even if your phone do not display nothing on screen when you power it up , if the hardware inside it is fine , the phone can be revived , and will still show bootloader unloacked message .

Even if your phone do not display nothing on screen (you think it is hard bricked) , if you short 2 pins of the board , it will go into a qualcom download mode , so from there a new kzd can be uploaded using a program named qfill . Phone will be again alive and will still show 'bootloader unlocked'

If you have problems with your unlocked phone and you want to be sure it is dead , you have to damage the hardware , before sending it for warranty .

LG g4 , can be revived from any firmware damage , no matter what partitions you delete (this is good after all , because I could revive my phone even it did not show nothing on screen when powered up , cause I deleted a lot of partitions including aboot partition)

Hello guys. I can force enter in the correct port (for me is 28; in port 27 every dd gave me fail) but there is no even one single .img file. Win7 x64 here.

All the command which I perform just finished instantly.

Solution: Just reconnect the phone and repeat step 2. Now eveything is allright! Thanks to the community

Is there any way to check on which bootloader version i was by reading drm/persistent/misc file? I want to lock my bootloader but the commands do nothing.
[G4 General] popy2006:
That was the same for me when I'll tried to relock with just the small partions. After restoring the full dump I was possible. See a few posts above.

Do you have a full dump?

[G4 General] Avantu:
If i had full dump i wouldn't ask for help ^^
[G4 General] popy2006:
Thats not good...

Sorry, that was the way i was relocking my phone.

pOpY
[G4 General] Minto107:
I think some partition is missing from the guide(as you can clearly see). Restoring full dump works like a charm while only 3 partitions doesn't work for everyone(as some ppl were able to do so), most likely it depends on bootloader version...
[G4 General] steadfasterX:
I was able to lock my device with ease and without having any previous dump.

If someone wants to test it.. There are no guanrantees. But the method should work for anyone..

I made a flashable zip for it. It would even work without loosing your current userdata or system partition... If using the same firmware version of the kdz.

The process is simple..

When you flash a KDZ the partitions responsible for unlocking will be handled different. I'm not sure what's exactly happening there so I cannot say for sure if they just be left out or some kind of other things (automatic re-unlock?) happening here.

But what I can say is.. If you flash ALL (except system and user data if you don't want to) partitions from a kdz MANUALLY the device is locked again.

So.. Again it worked for me and well it is like flashing a regular kdz so it should be safe to use but well no guarantees.

There's only one thing which is required: anti rollback version. Afaik this is something on the h811 only but this should be checked before using that method.

If someone wants to test.. Lemme know..

Update:

Flashing misc is enough to re-lock!

Keep in mind that relocking requires a full stock device before!

Also consider to use my download mode backup here: https://tinyurl.com/dlbackup

[G4 General] ItzShadowz:
The newest v29a Nougat firmware apparently allows you to relock (make sure you have EVERYTHING stock, recovery included or you'll brick) via fastboot, but it will wipe everything.
[G4 General] Drenabrab:
Seems to work. I've locked bootloader
[G4 General] wjtk:
Did you test it? You restored Marshmallow dump (persistent/drm/misc) on Nougat firmware successfully?
[G4 General] alex2000robert:
You don't even need to restore dumps. It's as easy as opening a command line, rebooting your device in fastboot (adb reboot bootloader) and type "fastboot oem lock". This will wipe your data.
[G4 General] ItzShadowz:
Read above since apparently it will brick if you restore the partitions if you're not completely stock and unrooted. So that method is only good if you are running stock ROM and unrooted with stock recovery, but don't want to lose your data unlike with just using "fastboot OEM lock" which wipes your data.

I would test but I don't want to risk a hard brick and don't have a spare SD card available right now to try the fix for a hard brick.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cukaasha:
I have Galaxy tab A (SM-T355) 8' 16 GB with rooted stock rom (touchwiz Android 6.0). I want to flash xposed framework. Obviously I installed an unofficial xposed on XDA used for rooted stock touchwiz.

I flashed that and my tablet ended up bootlooping to recovery. Tried to use the nanobackup and it didint work, wiped out the whole system and restored back and still didnt work.

I had no choice but to restore stock firmware and re-root the device.

Is there any framework that wont cause bootloops and support this device? Or prehaps do I need to modify my system?

Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ColinMacLaren:
Although I still consider GearVR being the superior solution, Google ahs come a long way from Cardboard. At the very least enabling Daydream reduces jittering in cardboard apps and there is some cool exclusive content is available.

Guide:

You need a Nougat rom.

You need to be rooted.

Follow the instructions in this post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/5hno6u/got_daydream_to_work_on_my_5x_might_work_on_other/

Using a root explorer app, navigate to /system/etc/permissions/handheld_core_hardware.xml.

<feature name="android.software.vr.mode" /> is already enabled.

<feature name="android.hardware.vr.high_performance" /> is commented out, change accordingly.

Install Daydream app. http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/daydream/

Install Google VR Services. http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-vr-services/

Install Daydream Keyboard. http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/daydream-keyboard/

Reboot. If Daydream app was already installed before editing handheld_core_hardware.xml. you need to clear app data and cache of Daydream and Google VR services.

Enable NFC. Charge the Daydream Controller.

Run Daydream app and follow first time instructions. If Games are availalbe inside Daydream you did everything right.

Things working:

All media consumption apps.

Most games including Gunjack 2, Underworld overlord.

Not working:

Need for Speed Unlimited VR. crashes with black screen.

Issues.

Heavy sideward drifting. May be caused by a controller issue.

Occasional flickering.

Double vision especially in Gunjack. In this case use a headset with lens distance adjustment.

Please share your experiences.

no luck :(

this is the error i got in Need for Speed VR (logcat) ->

i hope someone get it to run!!!

btw. this also does not work :( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wb.fantasticbeasts.vr
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] tboy2000:
Doesn't work for my either. Done all the above. Tried pixelify, sailfish etc etc.

Either I just get a black screen with white vertical separator and sound but no video

Or

I get the game running but in 2D mode and not split screen.

I have spent way too much of my time trying to get it to work. I wonder if it only works on Snapdragon variant of S7 Edge as I have the Exynos version.

Once I got YouTube VR to briefly work where I could see an image duplicated split screen but it was not moving. Almost as if there was no gyro sensor.

I really hope someone can put me out of my grief with a solution.

Nope, that did not work. After my understanding this is an bult in chip that works with the bluetooth, but the phone is supposed to hav ANT+ support

[Xiaomi Mi MIX Accessories] satishp:
I've received the full coverage screen protector and a case today and as promised I'm uploading photos here so that it may help you decide.

I haven't experienced any issues with touch functionality using this protector like some like some users have mentioned. But as the glass hovers over the screen due to the adhesive only around the frame, applying this screen protector makes it look as if the display has a lower contrast ratio. This is due to the gap between the actual display glass and the tempered glass protector. You lose the experience of a fully laminated display. This isn't very noticeable in a well lit room but noticeable whenever you view images or videos with dark scenes. The blacks look greyish.

Also this is a fingerprint magnet and the glass tends to attract some dust. I've tried re-applying the protector over three times and a speck of dust manages to get in under the glass every time. This isn't the first time I'm applying screen protectors and its definitely something to do with the coating on the glass which attracts dust, maybe due to static.

The case feels slightly cheap (maybe because it was cheap ;)) but looks like it can protect the phone well. The only gripe I have is that there is no cushioning on the back, like cases from Spigen. The rubber like material you see is more like a bumper attached to a plastic shell. The back of the phone touches the plastic shell as you see in the images. Comparable to those hard plastic cases you get. Don't know whether that helps in terms of protection but the case has a good lip around the screen as you can see.

For those wondering, I bought the red color because the other colors for this case looked too bland. The case is available in Gold, light blue, Grey and silver. I wish there was black but there isn't. :(

I have more cases coming in and will update this when I receive it. Till then I hope those willing to help can also upload photos of their cases and screen protectors.

Cheers!

Here's a couple pix of the PELOSI TPU/Sandstone finish case:

https://www.casefanatic.com/xiaomi/case-xiaomi-mi-mix-pelosi-quicksand-pattern-slim-matte-tpu-cover/

The cutouts for the mics/3.5mm jack/speaker grill/USB Port are precise & allow enough room for oversized headphone/USB plugs.

The volume rocker & power button are covered & are easy to identify by feel.

As for protection,it'll keep the backside free of scratches/etc,but,as for protection from drops/etc... YMMV,as this is a low profile case,adding minimal width & thickness to the overall dimensions.

It works for me,the main reason I even bother with a case for this phone is the slippery grip.

Interesting bumper, but would this protect the device? I'd imagine it would just ripple the impact into the ceramic and it would probably still shatter, unless there's a good amount of padding on the inside of the frame.

I prefer the minimal amount of case / bumper on a phone. If it wasn't as slippery ide go naked, but the TPU gives you more hand confidence. Though that amorkingcase looks pretty sweet, if it was not as "sharp and shaped" looking
