Hi guys!

does anyone knows how to unlock bootloader for lyf flame 1.

I have tried many methods but didn't work

I have tried getting into fast boot and typing "fastboot oem unlock" I am getting "FAILED <remote: unknown command>"

but nothing works.

i have tried using different tools (all in one tools, unlock my bootloader and many) but nothing works

it has been very hard to root my mobile as there is no full rooted script for my mobile and I have many tools to root my mobile(iroot,vroot,mobogenie,unlockroot,safe root,kingoroot,king root,mobile go,zroot,poot,etc) but kingroot has worked but not giving full permission. i cant give shell commands.

please help me to unlock my bootloader

my phone:LYF Flame-1 (LS-4503) running 5.1.1
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashwinrg:
If your android rooted using KingRoot then it must your bootloader is unlocked.

Try command in fastboot mode

"fastboot oem device-info" then see bootloader unlocked is true or false. If true means your bootloader is unlocked.

Hiding Status Bar Icons

Some of you may have experienced or seen the SystemUI tuner in most other devices firmware. I myself, when shifting to the V20 from Nexus and Pixel devices, have missed this quite a bit. Below is a known method to hide status bar icons reasonably easily until i implement a method into the ROM.

Using a terminal emulator...

type; "su" enter

then type; "settings put secure icon_blacklist (your selection here)"

"your selection here" is a list of the icons you want to hide. They all need to be added at the same time, with a comma separating each option. Each time you run this command it clears out the last entry. So say you wanted to hide the alarm, bluetooth and Cell Data icon.. youd be typing "settings put secure icon_blacklist alarm_clock,bluetooth,mobile".

To restore to stock, type "settings delete secure icon_blacklist".

Below is a list of commands to add to the icon list.

cast

hotspot

bluetooth

zen

alarm_clock

managed_profile

wifi

ethernet

mobile

airplane

[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Mentalmuso:
Possible causes for common issues

App FC.. If you have several force closes of misc apps, you most likely have bad data relating to themes. Uninstall or delete all themes and theme apps. This includes LG themes and Substratum. Substratum has a theme cache which if not wiped can cause a lot of issues.

Google play services crash.. I haven't seen this is a long time. Though if it happens to you its usually related to Webview. If you have uninstalled Chrome, then that is your problem. Simply dont uninstall chrome if you dont know what you are doing.

--->

How to install...

Use a method to install TWRP and Flash SuperSU first. Get this done on a stock first, and boot into it to make sure you are stock rooted. Also read as much as you can about rooting the V20.

I use TWRP so can only recommend that recovery, but i am sure you will be fine with others if available.

Make sure WETA zip file is in your internal SD card, and head to recovery and flash the rom zip file. Reboot.

ENCRYPTED DEVICES - You need to decrypt your device to use this ROM.

--->

system and boot.img retrieval

I will only accept stock system.img. this means you need to be stock rooted, not on another stock ROM off XDA. Thanks.

In terminal emulator or adb shell. Type "su" to get root permissions..then

dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system of=/sdcard/weta_system.img

...And do kernel too....

dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/weta_boot.img

what is ice config
[LG V20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Mentalmuso:
All the info for arise and it's add-ons are a part of the arise thread. Look is in the OP under the audio section near top.

From what I've read, ICE is a relatively new audio engine for Android and Windows. I was a little sceptical but it really does add to the quality of sound for this device. The ice config options are one thing I don't have much info on except people are preferring config 2. So I check boxed that one by default on the aroma selection. My assumption is there's a while lot more configuring by users and sharing of configs to be done.

Edit. FYI there is no GUI for ice or ark. Ark (arkamys) is something I didn't enjoy to much being added, but I though if leave that option in there. I felt it never brought anything to the sound except some unwanted noise
