Hi, I have just bought an LG G6 from ebay, it works well but I notice that the vibration is very weak, it is so weak that i can't realize that someone is calling me in normal condition (at home without noises). So I imagine that outside it will be a huge problem for incoming calls. Is it normal for this device or it is a problem of my phone?

I tried to revert to a stock rom but got distracted by my kids while doing so and have ended up wiping system, ext sd card and my backups. I've tried flashing 3 or 4 different roms to get everything back up and running but nothing will stick, it just reboots into twrp every single time. flashing system img doesn't work as they are all over 5gb and I'm starting to worry I have a paperweight on my hands. Can anyone help?

Tried to turn off the phone and boot manually the phone in download mode in order to flash a firmware with LGup?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] drkstl:
I've tried but download mode won't appear, I just load back into twrp and even uppercut isn't recognising a connected device. I've been flashing roms since the htc hero and this is the first time i've been at a complete loss.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Killua96:
How exactly you tried to enter into download mode?

Tried flashings the full stock zip that you find in the rom section? Have you formatted data (not wipe) when you flashed the TWRP?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] drkstl:
Format data>flash twrp>reboot recovery>flash stock h870 v10f complete zip>wipe dalvik>hard reset>when lg logo appear, switched from vol - to vol +

but still loads into twrp.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Killua96:
If you flash a rom you have to do the reset before the flash, not after.

Also if you want to enter in download mode you have to turm off the device with the option in the TWRP, then keep pressing vol+ and in the meantime connect the phone to the PC.

Didn't understand what exactly you did tough

LG 870DS definitely has FDD LTE Band 3 support.

Have you tried both sim slots? I'm not sure about this model, but many dual SIM phones have LTE support for only one of the slots.

Hi! So I've just became an owner of the G6 (EU h870 version) after switching from my old Nexus 5.

The first bummer is it does not support Qi charging - I did not read the fine-print, that only the US versions have it :/ Any updates on adding the charging coil to the EU version?

The second thing is the horrific (for me) LG software. I am going to install the LineageOS right away. But is it possible to install the LG Camera APP in Lineage OS? I don't want the to lose the quality of the photos, since the LG Camera APP probably utilizes the hardware much better than any other camera app..
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Killua96:
For the coil don't know if there are any solutions, but for the camera there are none, on not-stock rom you will always have an inferior camera quality
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] drkstl:
to be honest, I'm not sure what I did myself anymore. No matter how hard I try , I can not get it into download mode and no flashing seems to take, it just loads back into twrp after flashing. I'm ready to resign this to being a lost cause as I'm seriously getting myself down over being so stupid as to not keeping a backup on my laptop. If only there was a clean backup for me to try restoring via twrp, maybe that would work but I can't find one online anywhere.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Killua96:
You did nothing so wrong that it could damage the laf partition, so the download mode, this means that you do something wrong and can't load that mode. Can you post every passage you do to enter in download mode? In this way we can maybe understand what's wrong.

Anyway if I remember well there was someone in the same situation here on XDA try to search in both discussion and q/a sections, there should be a dedicated there
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] drkstl:
I turned off phone using option in two, turned on phone while holding power and volume up and I've tried plugging into PC while LG logo is on, before turning on, after bootloader warning, you name it I've tried it. I just can't understand why it doesn't get past twrp.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Killua96:
And here it is what's you are doing wrong, you mustn't use power button.

Turn off the device, keep pressing vol+ only and connection the phone to the pc :good:

aha, finally attempting to firmware update with the kdz. Another question, after the update, will it have stock recovery again or can I just reboot bootloader?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Killua96:
It will be all stock, so stock recovery.

Bootloader will remain unlocked, just check the developer options for the oem unlock to be sure, after you'll need to install TWRP again.

Hi all,

Is the H870V model of the LG G6 rootable and can I install a custom ROM on that version?

Asking because I know that LineageOS supports the H870 model but doesn't mention the H870V model and I am not sure as to what is the difference between an H870 and the H870V models...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] ASW1:
I have a G6 with fullmics rom (not sure if that matters) with Magisk installed.

Magisk now needs to be updated, but I just can't figure out how to do it and feel like an idiot now.

In Magisk manager, I press install, go through the confirmation dialogue and then choose "patch boot image file" (I've already downloaded the zip).

I then need to choose a file from that zip to patch the boot image, but I don't have a clue which one to choose. I've tried a few that I guessed could work but no luck and the update process is not self explanatory unfortunately....
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] fabiocpinto:
Hello.

I've 3 questions, that are messing my mind before I would do anything to my G6.

1- I have an H870 G6, and I want to root it through Magisk, do I need my bootloader unlocked?

2- If I change my rom, with the bootloader unlocked and TWRP flashed, Would I be able to do a full format of my internal memory and flash the new rom (custom or official) with a USB Pen via OTG?3-

3- Is it possible to relock the Bootloader in case of warranty?

Thanks
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Killua96:
1) Yes

2) Yes

3) You can relock the bootloader but the LG warranty will still be voided, you'll have to take advantage of the Legal warranty through the seller.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] fabiocpinto:
Thanks for your help, but if I can relock the bootloader how can they tell that I've unlocked it?

And is it easy to relock, or do I get some major risks of getting my phone bricked?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Killua96:
Because when you flash the unlock.bin file you unlock some commands that stay unlocked even after relocking the bootloader.

Locking the bootloader is easy, just use the fastboot oem lock command, but before doing so you need to remove twrp, root and custom roms by flashing the original firmware through LGUp.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] fabiocpinto:
But that usual message that shows on boot telling that the bootloader is unlocked disapears, right?

So after flashing the original firmware it still "unlocked", even if I already locked it, but with amazon that problem wont be an issue I guess...
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Killua96:
If you run that command yes, the message disappear, and yes if you flash the original firmware it'll stay unlocked.

As I said before with LG warranty voided you'll need to use the legal warranty for assistance, if you bought on Amazon you shouldn't have any problems, if you want to be sure of it ask to Amazon directly.

Mind that if Amazon repairs your phone it won't be touched by LG but by an assistance center of Amazon choice.

Hello,

how it is possible to get a system update with twrp bootloader?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Killua96:
Wait for a zip rom, otherwise you have to install the new firmware through lgup or restore your original one and then do the update.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Saalschlacht:
I use the original firmware. I only switched to TWRP. I tried to made an update via LG update. After reboot, only TWRP was booting. The update doesn't work by this way.

I don't want to replace the original bootloader for every system update... If there's no comfortable way, I couldn't use TWRP.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Killua96:
As I said you need to reinstall the original firmware trough lgup, aka remove twrp and root or wait for a zip from the community
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] G111444:
Just received my new G6 US997 and have been unsuccessful activating it on Sprint. Tried first online and had no luck...wouldn't accept the MEID. Tried again through the customer service chat and was told I need to take it into the store. The store replaced the SIM card then told me this phone isn't "in the database" and I need to call Sprint to have them put it in the database. Called LG and was told I need a subsidy code by the people who unlocked the phone and that code magically allows me to activate it on any network. After giving LG the IMEI, they said Amazon prime has the subsidy code and I need to call them. I didn't buy the phone from Amazon, but whatever... Amazon said there was nothing they could do...call the seller. I'd call them next but this seems pointless. If I really needed the subsidy code I expect Sprint could have at least told me that.

I appreciate any suggestions. Apologize if this has been covered...I couldn't find this discussed though I suspect it has been at some point.

Can anybody suggest good pair of headphones (not so premium end) that can trigger the quad dac to its potential. Also is it true that 50ohm is required to trigger the quad dac while the hifi notification comes even for a 16ohm Audio technica ckx7is in ear headphones?

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jimbomodder:
Have you tried on any pairing the LG to any other device?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] leart369:
Sure, the problem persists only with media connection output like speakers, headphones and also in my car media. Phone calls work perfect, only the media connection is not enabled. (G2, G3 and G4 with the same problem had the option to enable by yourself media output in the bluetooth device settings but the option appears only when I get media enabled).

Hey there!

I'm new here, and I did lots of things, but nothing good I think.

I don't get ANYTHING about the LG G6, it's sooooo lame!

First: I unlock the bootloader, that's was great, but I wanted to install TWRP, and... It's gone! So, now i've the message "your device software cannot be checked for corruption" blabla... It's normal?

I still don't have any recovery, even if I install with cmd (I saw message with "OKAY" twice), but still this laming "Your device...." -_-.

I only want to uninstall all the crapware from LG. Any solution? I don't want to brick my phone, that's why I need this. :(

Btw: i've the 870 one
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Killua96:
That message is normal to be there until your bootloader remains unlocked.

When you install twrp though fastboot you need to reboot the phone by keeping pressed power and vol- until it turned off and then on, when the LG logo appears leave the power button only and immediately keep pressing both as before, it should lead to the hard reset menu, follow the instructions and if the TWRP is correctly installed then you'll enter in TWRP, if not you'll do an hard reset.

Mind that if the phone normally boots you have to reflash TWRP
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] ByEmaro:
Thanks man, really, but it didn't work for me as well. :/

I tried to flash again the recovery, i had this message ->

C:\g6>fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes

sending 'recovery' (21420 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.500s]

writing 'recovery'...

OKAY [ 0.206s]

finished. total time: 0.713s

I used too the combo button... And all thing I did, was to go on a hidden security mode lol.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Killua96:
Hidden security mode? That's odd, It should lead the hard reset menu not to other modes.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] ByEmaro:
Praise the lord, I booted in the recovery! :o

But i've a new trouble: I can't save my system, i've an issue with this message: "Failed to mount System (device or resource busy)". What's the solution for that? It's that normal?

Btw, I try to save the original LG G6 system. :)
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Killua96:
Yeah it's Pretty normal, Remember to make a format data (which is different from wipe data) in order ti be able ti install any rom available and have less problems.

Good luck for the modding:cowboy:
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] ByEmaro:
Hey hey, it's me again! First, thanks for all the advices upper, I modded my phone in the way I wanted :).

But... I did the stupidity to install Lineage OS (a real malware this rom), when I was with FulmicOS. I wanted to go back on FOS, but I only bootlooped my phone. Why that? I wipe all things I could do, witk the simple cache, to the full with all the case to select. It's because LOS is on the 7.1.2, and FOS on 7.0?

Now I'm trying AquarisOs, lets see...

EDIT: Nothing to say, it works! :)

Hey guys,

Just got an US997 non-carrier G6. I am coming from a ROOTED Samsung Note 5 where I was using Adaway and Magisk Modules. My interest in rooting this phone would be to implement system wide adblocking and remove some system apps.

With the Note 5 rooting would damage the deep sleep in the stock kernel so it would force me to use a custom kernel.

Are there any issues when rooting the LG G6 if all I want is SU to install adaway? Does it break Netflix? Does it break deep sleep? Can Magisk hide the root from apps that check like banking, etc?/

Thank you
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Killua96:
Root doesn't brake nothing on kernel side on LGs, and yes, Magisk will hide root (Magisk Hide inside Magisk settings) or itself (14.5 beta) from desired apps.

Good luck with all that!

Need some help:

I recently bought a Verizon LG G6 VS988 model to use on my T-mobile plan. Put in the Sim card, and it'd say T-mobile in the top left corner /w 4g lte for a few seconds.

However, I'd also get that annoying notification "sim card not from Verizon" (which can be swiped away) and then I'd lose all signal, go down to 3g/H and the T-mobile is gone.

After a bit of stressful tinkering with my Network settings, manually adding in Tmo APN, the phone now works (calls,texts, data still with 3G indicator) however I am a bit afraid to reboot + going forward with this as my full-time device. I'm not sure about the 3G data (might just be a misnomer?) being a real issue, as I can stream youtube at 480p seamlessly, just as I had done on a previous fully unlocked Nexus 6 that showed 4g LTE speeds. 720p results in a bit of buffering, which is identical to my N6 experiences.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] NCU1980:
Are you sure Magisk will hide root for applications? On my rooted Samsung Note 5 my banking apps would tell me my phone was rooted even if I had Magisk hide enabled so I was unable to use them. This is my only concern with rooting my new LG G6. I want to make sure that my bank apps will not detect root an allow me to use as normal.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Killua96:
My bank app has no problem with Magisk hide, anyway you can also try with the option to hide Magisk Manager
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] NCU1980:
Can you do me the huge favour of downloading my bank app and see if it does not detect root on your device so I can be confident before rooting: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.firstdirect.bankingonthego

Also do you have good instructions on how the hide process works? Maybe I was not doing it right on my note 5.

Finally getting to the point where I can't limp along with my Galaxy S5 anymore. Considering the LG G6 because of the big battery and the SD card slot. After reading the whole thread I have questions:

1) For the US it looks like I need the US997 version to be able to root and flash custom roms if necessary. Is that correct? I'm on ATT if that matters. (I'd rather have a phone that doesn't need that but if I end up having to do that I want to get the right one.)

Hey folks!

G6 EU H870, unlocked and rooted. Hab problems with the OTA update until I figured out that it would be because of the bootloader.

pretty nice, the screen while booting says 'lock your bootloader' but that's not possible.

[Q1]Or is it possible to relock the bootloader?

Hi there, I am currently on Fulmics 2.1 and I just saw 3.5 is now available.

I just don't spend any time anymore these days (getting older, child, busy etc. ) on rooting/flashing, and just don't know now what the steps would be to do the upgrade.

Boot into TWRP, do a wipe (what exactly) and then flash 3.5, or can I just dirty flash 3.5 ?

I find it slightly embarrassing to ask but I just don't quite remember anymore how to do these things.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jimbomodder:
You can dirty flash but it's probably best to backup apps via titanium backup and do a clean flash, just make sure your bootloader match's latest version.
