Finally, was able to downgrade. I used uppercut but i selected refurbish first and let it fail. Then i selected upgrade and it worked. Not sure if it's a fluke but it worked this way twice.

FYI: If anyone flashes "LG-V521-20G-Stock-Debloated-Rooted.zip" from other post, you will loose twrp and rom wont be rooted. I had to start from scratch.

Can't get this to work on the 520. Any tips?
[LG G Pad X 8.0 Guides, News, & Discussion] Z4ce:
Very interested as well for the v520. Does the successful root of v521 have any bearing whatsoever on the v520? I'm guessing not from the lack of comments regarding it, but would love to hear any update from others more informed. Is it any closer? What would be the blocker since AFAIK there are very minor differences between the two models?

Please help! Us v520 owners would be most grateful. Thanks!

If you've had a 2017 security update, it blocked this method. You'll have to kdz to a 2016 version.

My software info states:

Android Version: 7.0

Android security patch level: December 1, 2016

Is root possible? If so, do I follow this exact guide on this thread or through some modified method? Thanks again.
[LG G Pad X 8.0 Guides, News, & Discussion] MicroMod777:
Same method.
[LG G Pad X 8.0 Guides, News, & Discussion] Z4ce:
Oh wow, great news! I've done multiple software checks since I received the device and no software or security updates have been offered.

Would you happen to have a thread or link to any existing discussion on updating a v520 with a 2016 security update like I am on? I'd like to reference as much info and see any warnings I can from others who have already succeeded before attempting it. Or would this thread and the v521 pretty much suffice in terms of info?

---------- Post added at 12:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 AM ----------

Also, I have another two questions:

1) With 7.0, AT&T disabled the v520's ability to act as a hotspot or tethering, from what I've been told. I take that to be true since I cannot see any hotspot/tethering options unless you use AT&T's built-in "All Access" with their network (I'm not). Would rooting bring back the ability to use Android's native options for creating a hotspot?

2) Regarding the network, I purchased the tablet unlocked so I can use a T-mobile sim and their network instead. Would rooting affect the unlocked status or it's ability to be unlocked? Would it have to be re-unlocked?

[LG G Pad X 8.0 Guides, News, & Discussion] MStrawder:
I realize the above post is almost 2 months old, but I recently received this tablet and I installed a 64gb SDcard. I've tried formatting this thing as FAT, FAT32 and exFAT from the tool someone else posted a link for and through TWRP. After all that, TWRP still won't let me select the external SD under mount. I tried putting another brand 64gb card that's formatted as FAT32 in there (working great on my V20) and TWRP still says no. Followed the guide originally and was running the rooted stock, but recently went to RR. Unfortunately, the external SD has never been recognized in TWRP for me. Any suggestions?
[LG G Pad X 8.0 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnson007.ye:
enter twrp,format data,then you know it.

I flashed some rom on here a while back. The wife has the wiz and I have the herald. Anyhow, she was having problems so I figured I'd flash the stock 2.26 tmo rom back on her mda. I ran through the update utility and it crashed at about 7x %. Now it is stuck in a bootloader reboot loop...Anyone have any suggestions?? I need to get her phone working again so any help is appreciated. By the way, its a G3 device.

Thanks

Kevin
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] xeno1:
Just reflash the t-mobile stock ROM again, as simple as that. Most of the time when you have a failed flash you get the bootloader every time you boot. Make sure you don't connect the sync cable until after you're in the bootloader and when you do connect it it says USB at the bottom and you should be good to flash from there.

It's not xperia-themed rom, so I won't even try.

I installed it in top of the stock base i have. I noticed an issue.

I had encryption enabled on my phone and device boots after entering my PIN.

after installing your rom the keyboard prompt to enter the PIN didnt apper.

Normally its the Google keyboard that comes during the encryption screen, have you removed the same?

As i couldnt pass this screen,i couldnt test your rom to give feedback . Expecting a fix or full rom soon. thanks.

Also, with the 3.5.3 I'd been getting more than 7 hrs of active screen. Now I just get around 6 and a half...

It's not a major difference or problem, I'm comfortable with using the nougat version...

http://xiaomitips.com/guide/unlock-redmi-note-3-bootloader-without-official-permission/

After phone got unlocked I installed twrp and tried to flash 2 Roms but they both bootlooped so I tried to flash the stock firmware I got from the same page the phone booted but I noticed that WiFi and phone signal both don't work

Please point me to the right stock firmware that I can flash with edl mode because I'm not sure which version I got

I attached a picture of the box

I would really really really appreciate the help
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] corkiejp:
First off all, going by your picture, you have a Special Edition "Kate" model and not a "Kenzo".

You probably need to flash an official rom again by EDL mode.

Recommend that you unlock the bootloader officially after doing the above. See the linked wiki for instructions.

Then read custom rom threads on the steps required to flash them on the "Kate" model.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] mshtob:
Should I download the stable or developer version or is it not important?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] corkiejp:
It is easier to unlock the device on developer version, but both should work.

If you intend flashing a custom rom later, it doesn't really matter.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] mshtob:
Thank you very much I'll download the ROM and see what happens
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] mshtob:

I'm trying to unlock the bootloader the official way my account has permission but it keeps giving me "Couldn't verify device" at 50% I searched it and it seems to be a frequent issue do you have any idea how to fix it I logged in on my device using my phone number and did the same on the pc, I pinged my device using find my phone and I'm waiting till tomorrow to try again but I was just wondering if you know anything else? :D

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Tauren86:
Hey guys. I've searched but couldn't find a solution.

I've got a very slight wiggle between my cable and charger socket on my honor 8.

Now I don't know of this is normal or not ? I can very slightly wiggle the cable from right to left, and up to down.

Is this normal ? Do other people get this as well ? When I say wiggle I mean literally a mil or two up and down, left and right.

Edit. Literally just tried wiggling the power connector inside the phone with a pair of tweezers. And it literally doesn't move. So I'm thinking it's the cable that is giving the couple of mil wiggle room??

Cheers !
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] shook187:
Why are you even fidgeting with your device like that? Is it charging when plugged in? You're going to cause more damage.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Tauren86:
Eh?? All I did was plug my cable in to my phone and it felt a little loose/wiggly. So I'm just asking a legit question ?? I'm not going out my way to cause damage.

I've jumped from an iPhone 7 to android. (which to be honest is a good thing right ?) I'm just asking is all?!

And yes it is charging. But when you plug a cable in like that, is it supposed to wiggle as much as it does ?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Nyssa1104:
There is room for movement left to right this is normal. What is not normal is placing foreign objects inside of one's connect and trying to pull it.. Like the other member said if it's working as it should charging sync etc leave it well alone..
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Tauren86:
Okay. Thank you. As I said. I'm used to an iPhone 7. Where the charger cable fits like a glove.

If this is normal to have a bit of wiggle room then I'm okay with that.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] DarkGuyver:
There shouldn't be allot of movement when you have your device plugged into the charger. If you can get allot of movement when wiggling the cable then I suggest you send it back to Honor for inspection. As the USB port maybe loosely connected.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] jkccl9:
it shouldnt wiggle, get it fixed on the warranty
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] CronaMell:
It isn't normal, when I charge my phone, the cable is fixed like a rock

Ok. Thank you for the swift replies guys.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] CronaMell:
Take it to a repair center :) ASAP
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Housepainter:
I have a bit of wiggle too. The port is solid and does not move, so it must be between the port and cable connector. I would not worry about it. There is a lot of different connection types that has a bit of wiggle sometimes. You will notice if it becomes a problem.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] matrixation:
Type C Port Wiggle

I just bought a new factory sealed Galaxy Tab S3 from B&H Photo and the charging plug when plugged into the tablet does have about a millimeter of wiggle room in all directions, left, right, up, and down. The charge never drops. The slightest touch doesn't cause the plug to wiggle, I'm talking about actually using a little bit of force, not much...just a little.

My other devices use micro B and the charging ports in those devices fit tight so I had the same concern too but it turns out that the Type C charging port is designed with that slight wiggle room for some reason.

Just wanted to add my 2 cents to this concern on hopes that this information serves useful to someone.
