Look, I don't want to sound like I'm whining because I'm not. I f'd up and my phone is bricked. I usually read through threads more carefully and see other's experience but I think I assumed that being "stock" it was pretty straight forward. I completely accept responsibility for the fact my phone is bricked.

That said, at the time mine got bricked the only place there was a clear warning about bricking that I could see after the fact was in the FAQs. But to be honest, as somebody experienced with ADB/Fastboot and flashing I didn't bother with the FAQs. The install instructions seemed straight forward - flashable zip in TWRP. I had no questions.

I think more can and should be done to catch people's attention that this stuff is unique and extremely dangerous if you don't know ARB stuff and know what you're doing. I know bootloaders come with a certain amount of risk anyway but this was above what I think I expected and thought I was getting into.

Sorry to pile on OP, I know you're trying to do a service here and I don't blame you. I messed up. We all messed up. I just think we can try to do more to help prevent more people from messing up on this thread.

Thanks

Its called ANTI ROLLBACK for a reason. Thats on you guys for not using common sense. Not the OP. OP had the decency to put arb00 in the title to prevent that. If he wanted people to brick he wouldnt have done that.

So now to the bricked people. Usually you can fix a hardbrick with edl mode(qcom9008 mode) but you need device specific programmers that need to be leaked. So once you find those enjoy your working phone again.
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] TimeTomorrow:
thank you. the new update is very clear.

I'm aware ofr the qcom9008 options and there is not a h872 programmer known to exist anywhere from what i can tell, so that's not a meaningful solution.
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] zedomax:
****

I thought this was an official KDZ, just bricked my phone. :( I am in QUSB Bulk mode.
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] autoprime:
this IS the official KDZ from LG, untouched.

this is also the KDZ repacked into flashable ZIPS to use in TWRP... also not touched by me.. just repacked.

But it sounds like you used the zip file while in custom recovery.. not the KDZ.

Your issue isn't with anything being unofficial or improperly made... you downgraded from ARB01 to ARB00.

ARB = anti-rollback = downgrade protection.

If you flash bootloader from a lower ARB version than what you're currently on then those bootloader files will not load on next boot due to being a lower ARB version than what is qfused in your phone. Bootloader not loading throws phone into qhsusb 9008 mode waiting to be repaired via firehose programmer and have the proper bootloader version flashed back.

This was mentioned in the FAQ in OP.. the thread and files are all tagged ARB00 and theres red warning text at the beginning of the thread since so many people didn't want to read.

Perhaps with your reach you can obtain the H872 firehose programmers and share them with the community so everyone can unbrick :good: :fingers-crossed:

Hey do you know of a way to factory reset the g6 in download mode like refurbished does? I want to do a factory reset by itself without flashing the rom again in download mode is it possible? If not is there a way i can take the boot from the kdz and recompile the boot into a kdz and flash only boot kdz under refurbished and that will factory reset the phone?

I am on Oreo 20a with ARB 01 but want to downgrade to 11g, and if 11g ARB ver is 01 then I would be able to downgrade easily.. Please guide. [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION]
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] DmytroPitenko:
[MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] please, create 11h bootstock...
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] autoprime:
11g should be ARB 01. This current thread for 10h is ARB00.

if using LGUP "upgrade option" (used even if flashing older version) or "refurbish option" to flash a KDZ.. LGUP will do a ARB check on your device and the KDZ you want to flash and will only continue if the ARB versions check out. So properly flashing a KDZ with LGUP should always have safety checks in place.

I'm not 100% sure if LGUP runs the ARB check if you use the hacked LGUP "partition DL option" so be careful if you use that option....

and as you can see in this very thread... if someone is rooted and flashes a zip in TWRP there is no ARB check and you can brick.. so always good to know what you're flashing and what you're current ARB is when flashing a zip.

Ok, I'll look into it. I may just post it in my H872 codefire directory and not make a xda thread for it. give me a day or three and it should be there as long as nothing gets in my way

I have tried a few times partition dl with a hacked lgup and dll and they still check for ARB for example the v20 sprint wont downgrade with that option.

hey autoprime i was wondering if you were gonna work on v40 hacked dll there is a thread on converting the sprint v40 to unlocked but i hit a dead wall its detected on lgup and can partition dl but goes from 4% to 100% without doing anything to the phone im using the same setup i use to convert g7 and they have same chip-set so if you could help that would be awesome.

Just wanted to ask for those non Samsung phone users on Android 7.0, does your Panorama upload a pic in Facebook with a 360 function? My S6 Edge which is on 6.0.1 is still capable of doing it and yet my S8+ just uploads a flat normal pic. I spoke with a Samsung's customer rep and he said that is due to the Marshmallow - Nougat difference.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the wodahs:
Hi,

I'm trying to install LineageOs on an Xperia SP C5303 that is currently running with Android 4.3.

I followed the tutorial of the official wiki of Lineageos. Everything works correctly (adb fastboot+ USB + bootloader unlock) until I try to access recovery mode.

I tried :

- the power + volume + key combination (and all key combination possibilities) does not work. It starts normally.

- by adb / fasboot, the phone reboot but in normal mode.

- using the SUs + quickreboot idem it restarts normally.

- I tried to flash the recovery with twrp but after the command I have a message that tells me that it does not find the partition recovery.

I have the impression that my Xperia is devoid of recovery (it is possible?) And that I have to create a partition and I install a recovery.

Brief, how to solve the problem and access the recovery?

Thank you in advance.

Hi!

I've been reading alot on this forum and im very intersted in the S730, and by reading your posts here the majority seems to think the s730 is a great phone, but noone has said anything considering the video-driver issue in tytnII, whether its a problem in the s730 too?, So how is the video playbak in s730, is it possible to watch a 320x240 movie or TV-series, because i always downsize my shows to 320x240 will i not have any problems?, i currently have an Dell axim x30 which i often use to listen to music or watch movies and it has a 624Mhz processor which gives me smooth video playback, and would hate myself if i bought the s730 and the video playback would be lagging in 320x240...

And also, how is the call quality? is it clear and is the sim-card automatically set up?

thanks in advance...

/Johan
[HTC Wings] moneytoo:
Watching 320x240 is no problem. CorePlayer (TCPMP) handles it well, all is smooth, the cpu power is enough up to 30 - 33 FPS (MPEG-4 ASP, 300 - 400 kbit/s).
[HTC Wings] 10332007:
What program are you using to downsize the videos?

They way I am currently doing it is too slow :)

However video playback is perfect. Even with the full resolution video's it only studders on the video and my audio is solid. (core player as well)
[HTC Wings] shagge477:
Thanks for the answers, and im pleased to hear that watching videos on th S730 is smooth. I'll probably go for this phone, and hope that you guys continue finding good ways of maximizing the performance in the phone!

An btw when I downsize my series or movies i often use pocketdivxencoder found here http://www.pocketdivxencoder.net/ . But most of the videos i downsize are Family guy and American Dad so im not really sure on how the result of a real movie would be, but i guess if you maximize both the video and audio quality , you would still end up with a reasonable small file with nice quality!

But to my other question, is the call quality good? in other words does it perform well as a phone?, and i read about the memory leak which i hope will get fixed, but will it cause any trouble if i listen to music via the bluetooth A2DP profile when not using any other programs?
[HTC Wings] 10332007:
Cool, filesize isnt a problem with my 6gb sd card. I'll play with it. My way works but too much hassle.

My old phone was not very good, so I cant speak too much about call quality. I find its very good overall, I had one occation where my connection was bad (kinda remote location with 1 bar signal) and the person on the other end said I was full of static, did clear up though.

Thats the only issue I have had. The earpiece speaker volume could go up a little higher but I have never had problems not being able to understand people.
[HTC Wings] anitanium:
i used TCPMP with mine, and the 400mhz makes a huge difference

i barely have to convert any video now when i'm watching my shows (usually in 700x200 or something like that)

with steady framerate and quality

if it starts to stutter or slowdown, i just turn the quality a bit lower in the player and it plays back just fine
[HTC Wings] NoNco:
yeap

Ic watched normal divx's on the phone, so yeah its very good

[Huawei P10 Plus Questions & Answers] jkrz:
Hello everyone!

A few days ago I bought myself a P10 plus on a vacation to China. Since I live in Sweden I decided to rebrand it to the European firmware (since it had the asian firmware installed) through FunkyHuawei when I got home. I got my bootloader code from Huawei support and succesfully unlocked it as well as installed TWRP. The first problem I encountered was that I was unable to create any backups of my phone as well as being unable to install or flash anything.

I then restarted my phone into recovery mode and suddenly it didn't boot into TWRP anymore, only EMUI stock recovery. I tried flashing TWRP several times but the phone still wouldn't boot into it, so I tried factory resetting the phone and the flashing TWRP once again. This is where the real problems started.

The firmware is gone, no OS is installed, I cannot do anything through TWRP (i only get error messages such as "E:Unable to find partition size for /boot" as well as Failed to mount /cache (Invalid Argument)")

Even worse is that the bootloader wont load as far as i can tell so I can't do anything through adb nor fastboot either. I'm completely stuck in TWRP. I can't even wipe nor change file system.

Is my phone damaged beyond repair or is there anyone on here that might have a solution?

Thanks in advance, any suggestions welcome!

EDIT: Okay this is really weird...

Suddenly my phone booted into the OS, even though TWRP said there were no OS installed. What is the next step from here to ensure this won't happen again?

Is it possible to change CSC with the end result being unrooted? By this I mean if it requires me to root in order to change CSC that is okay, but then can I unroot while keeping the CSC I changed to? The reason I ask is because I want to be able to use banking and other apps (I've read that root prevents these apps from working) but at the same time I want to have wifi calling and voLTE for my carrier.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] cantenna:
Right, without root, all you need to do, visit sammobile and download then flash the compatible image from the carrier you want to switch to. However, be aware, of hardware limitations i.e.) you cannot flash a snapdgragon fw on a exynos phone for example.

Now if you had root on the other hand, you can do this in a matter of mins and not loose any files.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] the_OZONE:
I wanted to use a CSC that allows AT&T wifi calling and voLTE. This thread https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8+/development/utility-flashable-csc-selection-v1-0-0-t3605264 shows that it is possible to flash USA Multi-CSC using TWRP and root, which includes AT&T. So is it possible to have this CSC on the G955F while being unrooted? If it requires me to root and then unroot in order to change the CSC, I would be okay with that too as long as the CSC stays.

Based on what you said, I'm assuming the answer is no because the AT&T variant is the snapdragon variant, so I'm guessing that means the CSC wouldn't be supported in exynos unless flashed via root and then remaining rooted. Correct?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] cantenna:
if you have Exynos phone you got root as an option
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] the_OZONE:
Right, but the problem is that with root I won't have access to banking and other apps. So I was hoping maybe I'd be able to root, flash the CSC, then unroot and find a way to keep the CSC. Basically, on exynos, I want to be able to have the AT&T CSC and banking apps at the same time.
