As in case of g flex 2..

Everyone be warned..

The aboot on lg k10 is not signed

But in lg g4 there is a hash verification to aboot.

It may result in a hard brick.. so be warned
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
first of all , thats great news. this is the same method we use in h815 with the unlock.bin from lg but instead of pushing the file directly, we flash it in bootloader. clever and nicely done.

since its public you should share it the right way not like this. i mean this is not a development project, this is about unlocking and flashing twrp. it should be a DEVDB thread in general under utilities section so that everyone can find it. Also the title should be: "Unlock Bootloader H818".

As it is, in a week or two its gonna fall at a second page and in search results also almost noone is gonna find it cause of the title.

in the op tell them about mmcblk0pX. They are not all expert , they don't know mmcblk0pX in g4 is like our sdX in linux.

Tell them the ls command to find which mmcblk0pX is the right one or how to find it with a root explorer. As it is, its just gonna give them an error and gonna ask you everyday about that.

We need h818 users too. To be able to start developing for more variants its important. Cooperate with steadfasterX to correct bugs in twrp (if there are any).

This would be the 1st step to start flashing together with us , custom roms.

Finally , Welcome H818 users :D
[G4 Android Development] Jeidsom:
Oi funciona no h815p Brasil com o Android 6.0?
[G4 Android Development] Halapeti:
Can i use this method for H818N also,

Please can any one write detailed instruction to unlock bootloader & which TWRP & how to install.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
find partitions , aboot partition

wait for him to update his op.

me i dont know this way to view the partitions.. mounted partitions are written in /proc/mounts and all partitions are listed using the command

sgdisk --print /dev/block/mmcblk0

from pc terminal of course using adb shell its:

adb shell
su
sgdisk --print /dev/block/mmcblk0

mmcblk0 in our G4 is the disk name that LG used. So sgdisk lists the partitions of that disk that we chose in the command above.

And aboot is no.8 here on mine. so mmcblk0p8 is the aboot partition he is talking about.

i dont wanna brick your phone, so wait for the op to read again what he wrote.

That command in the op to find the aboot partition is totally wrong and useless.

you can test it on your phone to 'dd=...' that file in the op if you want, after you use this command to find the aboot partition.

But be ready , if the OP is wrong, you will have to use kdz to restore

And sorry for the edits :D i wanted to explain too, so that you all understand the command.
[G4 Android Development] Engelm:
Is ist possible to write this modded partition via flashfire?
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
use my command above to find aboot and only use dd in the op to force copy paste the file.

flashfire too can do it. it has a choice for secondary bootloader (aboot).

First backup your aboot of course.

~EDIT: flashfire uses 'dd' too. If you go manually and not with flashfire, you can backup your aboot using dd again. you just do it reverse and choose to copy it to the /sdcard/ and from the sdcard you can take it to your pc.

AND i don't know if a mistake in the secondary bootloader will cause a bootloop. That's something out of my current knowledge. So if you won't be able to boot, you can't restore it to fix it. So the only method to fix it is KDZ.
[G4 Android Development] goran_oh:
Tnx for sharing :)
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
Yeah but how do you patched it? Speak technically what do you have done to patch aboot please .. Do you have used a hex editor and if so where do you edit and how?

Explain it to me in a way so I can patch my aboot on my own. This would help a lot..

THX
[G4 Android Development] pvineeth97:
I am not gonna reveal it out since LG is gonna patch that too in future releases just like how Bump! and everything else was patched.

The methods aren't the same for every phone so there is no one method in patching it.
[G4 Android Development] pvineeth97:
FYI, even K10's aboot is signed since it has verification keys embedded in it.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
so what ? you can update the modem only the same way we all do.

we extract the KDZ stock rom from LG and flash only the modem.

This way you are up to date, able to flash latest and any custom rom.

So sharing with our twrp dev is for the best.

Also, LG won't and can't patch an old KDZ -_- in the OP you said they all have to downgrade to lollipop
[G4 Android Development] uio88:
Is this method functions with h815?
[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
Can someone test TWRP after patching?

If you use my latest beta you should see that your device will be shown as DETECTFAILED in your file explorer when connected to a PC. I need the recovery log of as many g4 variants as possible to fix it in clean manner..

If there are users not willing to patch aboot yet do me a favour and do an:

adb shell getprop

and paste the result to http://paste.omnirom.org

Same here as many g4 variants (h818t h818n h815 sea and whatever else) as possible.

.
[G4 Android Development] adds08:
U may not need to and it may not hinder with the twrp creation either..

Thats oddly strange as any modification would lead to loss of data integrity and will result in the rsa sha256 public key not being able to verify the aboot image signature ..

Oddly strange but i do hope this works :)

The dev doesnot compulsorily share the method bcuz of what happened with bump.. he may use this method for further devices and by what he claims i guess its pretty simple idea he implememted.. changed the instruction such that the secure boot verification is always set to secure
[G4 Android Development] pvineeth97:
Yeah... just the set the secure boot verification to always valid. I already shared the secret. Use IDA PRO Disassembler.
[G4 Android Development] onotor:
Looking forward to the news..

thnx
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bmueller77:
Maybe you used wrong settings, you are (nearly) out of range or the accesspoint uses a MAC-Filter.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ecltech:
Use Internet Sharing via USB or Bluetooth if you laptop supports it. Works great. No need for cabs or anything. You may need Active Sync installed on your laptop (can't remember since I have it installed anyway).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jbmorales:
what ecltech said. And YES you need activesync installed or else your pc won't realize your device and ask you to add new hardware. With activesync it updates the usb drivers to recognize that you are connecting your device and sharing its internet.

Haven't tried the Bluetooth way yes so I wouldn't have an answer for that one.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ilordvader:
Thxs ill try it
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ecltech:
Bluetooth works fine. When you configure the Bluetooth on your laptop use advance configuration so you can use the WAP setting. Otherwise it defaults to the modem and asks you for dial settings/etc.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ilordvader:
Couldnt do it

Can anyone give me step by step instructions

I have a steady annoying white light at the top of my Moto z next to the front flash, it won't go off with charger or without, even when I lock my device it stays on can anyone help? Or suggestions what it is
[Windows 10 Mobile] dfeldt91:
I had a failed update on an HP Elite X3. It restarted mid update and went to a blue screen saying the BCD configuration file does not contain valid information. The phone does not get recognized by the PC and is in a boot loop with the blue error page. I was able to get the phone into Emergency Mode with Thor2 but could not replicate it and am back to the boot loop.

My question is how can I get the BCD file fixed? Or alternatively, how can I manually flash the FFU file since I can't get the phone to register on my PC?

Thanks to those who can help!
[Windows 10 Mobile] raghulive:
Did try volume + and power combo to flash ffu file with Windows Phone image designer, hope that works
[Windows 10 Mobile] djamol:
Booting to "FFULoader.efi" (Vol+,Power) need correct BCD or at least Working BootArm.

Device *CAN BE* easily flashable from UEFI fine.

ED Mode *Should* fix all problems about firmware/bootloaders.

If still persist, may be Hardware Failure.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoMeGusta:
Wanted to seek some clarity on whether my phone is HW bricked. Here're the conditions:

Rooted/Unlocked Bootloader/Custom ROM/Stock Kernel

Randomly found the phone not responding last night, no software updates or heavy usage that day.

Have to long press power to get to turn on. Typical bootloader unlocked warning message then Google screen, then phone turns off. No screen content when charging (battery indicator or booting).

I can get to fastboot with power/vol down and interact with from Nexus Toolkit but attempting to boot to anything including TWRP just produces the same sequence: boot warning, google logo then complete shutdown. Tried booting recovery, wiping, etc from toolkit, nothing.

Occasionally it'll loop once or twice but most of the time it just shuts right off.

Phone is in the freezer now, will try heating solder later. Am I looking at a new phone here? Anything else I can try before heading to the store?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cribro:
Same issue

Did the freezer trick work?

I have the same issue.

Nexus 5X

Rooted/Unlocked/TWRP/Stock ROM

Randomly turned off, Long press to get back on. Turns off during boot. Managed to access Recovery the first time but havent been able to since, just shuts off.

Google chat thinks it hardware issue.. still under warranty, but would be nice to back up the userdata from it some how...
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cribro:
Surprisingly enough the freezer trick allowed the device to boot into recovery.. unfortunately it wasn't long enough to recover any data and now the phone won't turn on at all :/

hi, i have a samsung j500f dual sim, after rooting no longer loads the battery with old battery charger but only to spend with usb cable attached to the adapter. I have tried changing more leads and sometimes by charging on, sometimes not. I've already tried with the calibration, but nothing to do, is wrong.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
You need to be running a stock Samsung dialler in order to enter the unlock code so you'll have to flash back to stock or flash a custom ROM based on a stock ROM.

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] paul1508:
I mean seriously... I installed the Google clock app and Google calendar because the Huawei apps fail at the basic controls and after Android 7 they force their crap controls on other apps? Honestly, I am super passed.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] vikingalle:
I wish they could keep the alarm clock from Android 6/EMUI 4. The alarm clock on 7 looks so crap and undone.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Jonestown:
I'm going to give a slightly more in-depth review of the new Android release for our phones, and why you should _NOT_ install it. In fact, I think EMUI 4.X blows 5.X out of the water.

Breaking down my major gripes with the system:

Battery life is terrible. I am yet to pinpoint the source of the drain, and without rooting I don't really have the ability to do a whole lot about it. Exact same settings and usage that I had on EMUI 4.X and instead of being able to go two days without a charge, I'm having to charge it constantly. It appears to be a mixture of software and hardware, which in my opinion, means that Huawei put very little effort into optimizing this software for their hardware.

Notifications are trash. Seriously. They're ugly, and not nearly as functional as their prior iteration. Spotify for example had a decent lockscreen functionality in EMUI 4.X -- That's now gone, replaced with a banner style widget. The default Google banner-style widget. So... Huawei pretty much left everything stock. This has been slapped together hastily. My gripe in this particular situation? Googles default banner widget is so thin, you can barely use the seek/play/pause functionality without accidentally mashing something you're not meaning to. --- Beyond that, there are bugs with text notifications. Example: If you get a text while you have that persons text conversation open in the stock messaging app, and they send another text, even though you're looking right at it you get a banner. The banner stays until you tap it. ...Seriously Huawei?

Apps, UI, other issues. Messaging, again. They've added an emoji icon into the text input area. You can't get rid of it. It wasn't there before, but now it's a permanent fixture. How about two more emoji icons on your keyboard? Sound annoying? It is. The "obvious" solution is to install other software to appeal to my pedantic needs. Or Huawei can stop making superfluous changes to their software. Black background on notification drawer, white banners... very sexy. Can't move certain icons in the app drawer (IE: You can move "Mobile Data" toggle, but not "Settings").

I won't keep ranting on and on, but Huawei seriously, seriously dropped the ball on this one. It's almost embarrassing in fact. There's a reason this upgrade hasn't been released worldwide, and if Huawei can't iron out their problems, I would never recommend it to any user who enjoyed anything about EMUI.

Verdict, in my opinion: Stick with EMUI 4.X - Root it. Enjoy.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] TG09:
Wish you told me before I read your review..lol

I don't mind it so far, notifications are pretty crappy. Currently, I am using Google Keyboard a lot better than the built-in one.

My annoyance is that I use LastPass, Yaste and DoubleTwist apps, which should stay in the notification panel if I am using them even though the phone locks and it closes then on lock.

I have checked the power management and rebooted as well, but LastPass etc.. disappear from the nofication panel.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Jonestown:
Haha, well I had to try it for a couple of days at least to make sure I was justified in disliking it so much.

I'll be rolling back today though, if I run into any issues with this I'll be sure to post any potential work arounds.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] TG09:
PM me on how you roll back, I might do the same after you have.

Cheers fellow kiwi
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Z-Blade:
I guess its all depends on how you use your phone and what apps you got. I have 0 issues with EMUI 5.0 and I actually recommend it over EMUI 4.x. Battery life for me is slightly better thanks to the improved Doze and Vulcan API. Performance has improved, especially in the touch responsiveness of the UI (again, thanks to native support to Vulcan). I have no issues with the notification since all of the apps I use is clearly visible and functions properly. In regards to Apps, UI and etc... Well, I am using Nova Launcher Prime and I have customized it to the way I like it and also using SwiftKey so I dont get any of the keyboard issues you are reporting and I use Textra for my messaging and works perfectly fine.

So I guess its all depends on what apps you have and how you like your interface set up.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Jonestown:
Not gonna PM just yet. I've had a hell of a time thusfar, still trying to find a method to get back to absolute stock (which would require our stock oeminfo I think, which I don't have, honestly I'm not even 100% sure).

Right now it says I'm on software version C900B140 -- I don't know wtf this is lol -- I'll figure it out though, at least it's working after 3 hours of bootlooping.

How did you get one fella?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Jonestown:
It was ****, but I was able to rollback to a C432 build. You're stuck with this version now, but there's a rollback thread somewhere around here with the instructions that work. I can't find it off hand, but googling "P9 Rollback" or searching for it on here should help. You're basically following the rollback instructions and then following the debrand instructions up until the point where you're asked to use Huawei Updater 2.0.

I installed, got to 4.1.1 -- disabled updates. Plan on staying here for a while.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Devil Trigger:
Do i need to unlock bootloader to perform a rollback?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] chris5s:
C900Bxx is a hybrid from flashing one firmware, say C432, over another, say C02. It won't receive any updates but can be 'rebranded' by flashing new oeminfo.img

Android 7 is way, way better than 6 - snappier, more responsive, better battery life, and as for Huawei apps overdrawing Google ones - like Calendar, Clock, etc - it doesn't happen with me, period.

Still, YMMV, and everyone's got their own tastes and opinions - including me lol.

Peace.

[LG K10 Questions & Answers] pvineeth97:
This is something I read from the LG V10 forum:

So LG just builds phones for a particular Android version? Optimize it for that version and leave it? LG V10 was released last year with LG K series.

What if LG takes the same decision for K10? What if they say "LG K10 is technologically optimized for Android 5.1.1 & 6.0 from the production stage, so we decided to keep software stability at its best"?
[LG K10 Questions & Answers] Nobodyslight:

Well this is sad, very sad. I think in the end they will push nougat to V10. However V10 will have nougat from lineage os or other way. Trouble is with mid range phones I understand why they don't develope new versions for one series because they want to sell future one with new version of android, but what the hell shoul I do with mediatek device how to make custom rom, or worse we can't flash recovery without playing with bootloader and possiblly hard brick device
[LG K10 Questions & Answers] pvineeth97:
They don't allow unlocking the device officially (atleast we did it unofficially on XDA) and don't release any updates for their devices.
[LG K10 Questions & Answers] Nobodyslight:
Maybe they'll get it together. I doubt it, seeming as how they don't have to rely on sales of phones to keep the company in good standings (as long as they make those sweet AMOLED TV's that is). I think lg is content with just churning out garbage. Idk. Maybe im just against them due to the fact that my first phone was an LG Xpression 2 ( and you haven't seen that junkfest, look into it.

[LG K10 Questions & Answers] Nobodyslight:
Didn't the AT&T variant release like 6 months after the rest? If that's so, the phone is barely a year old at this point. And it's seems like lg did agree to that whole 2 year upgrade policy that Google wanted. Nonetheless, AT&T may push for an update.

We have a better after sales support here than any other country. I talked to many people who have bricked their K10's. They had to pay to send it through post.

Well here I just had to go to the service center and tell them the problem. They never asked me any question on how it happened. They just repaired it then and there and gave it to me. That's how I started loving LG more and more.
