Steps:

1. Turn Off Any Virus Protection Software

2. Download MP26010j_00_0316.kdz To Flash Your Phone Back To Stock

3. Install LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.2.0.exe

4. Next Install LGUP_Store_Frame_Ver_1_14_3.msi

5. Make Sure That You Have Your Phone Connected (Take Battery Out Then Put It Back In Hold Volume Up And Connect With Micro USB) So LGUP Can Be Able To Recognize It

6. Then Double Click UPPERCUT.exe to open up LGUP Now But Only Thing Is That Uppercut will try to verify just ignore and if it doesn't open up just open lgup from desktop and its going to view phone as unknown

7. Unplug Phone But Keep LG Download Mode On And Exit LGUP

8. Open LGUP First And Then Connect Phone Which Should Recognize Phone As MP260

9. Click Upgrade, Make Sure That Bin Is Checked And Select File MP26010j_00_0316.kdz To Flash And Click Start

10. Your Done! Video Coming Soon

The Only Thing Im Disappointed Is That Every Time You Reboot Phone or Turn It On It Keeps Saying Lock Bootloader But Just Press The Power Button To Continue Repeating The Process Does Not Remove That Message

fyi u can get rid of the bootloader bootup annoyance by following the unlock bootloader instructions but instead of typing fastboot oem unlock type fastboot oem lock
[LG K20 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] New Optimus:
If you lock the bootloader if you have custom recovery (twrp) and superuser you will not be able to boot
[LG K20 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] shaneg79:
Correct but this thread was about removing root

I figured I'd post this here to, because I am thinking about getting this phone. It's $99 at metro pcs right now, that's really hard to pass up.

In a twrp+root thread there are some that cannot get root, with the last LG firmware update, so I'm guessing this is a soft brick as apposed to a hard brick.

So, had a question.

If in the case of the like 10% of the people that do this root, the phone won't root or bricks, if I get this phone and and that happens, is it possible to flash the phone via the LG program, with a KDZ file and go back to stock like in this thread? If so I will probably buy this phone tomorrow (crosses fingers the kdz trick will work)

From looking at the videos, it looks as if the LG program is similar to the Samsung Odin program as far as flashing goes, am I correct in this?
[LG K20 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] tempests:
I know this thread has not been active for a while. However I have a Metro LG K20 Plus phone and want to change the firmware to T-Mobile. I have not been successful doing this as I always get invalid firmware, because LG UP recognizes the phone as a metro phone. Is there a way to succeed in getting the T-Mobile firmware on the phone?

thanks in advance.

[LG K20 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] PatrickRy:
lg k20 plus soft bricked?

So I've searched high and low and have tried suggestion after suggestion with no avail. To start things off, I have a soft bricked LG k20 plus. Everything was working fine until the other day when I went to flash a kernel, and when the phone restarted, the screen was a dark grey/black color. I rooted the devices using massis method, removed SU and then rooted using Magisk. Like I said everything was working fine and for whatever reason I decided to try a different kernel. That's when it all went downhill. So now when I turn the phone on, the screen is still blank but it vibrates. When I've connected it to a computer, on my Mac it doesn't show up with ADB or FASTBOOT but in my device tree it comes up as LGE Android device. I borrowed my friends laptop since it runs windows, and my Mac is a dinosaur. ADB doesn't pick it up either, but in a USB hub it says the same thing, LGE Android device and lower down it comes up as TP-LINK. Now tryin to use LG Flash tools doesn't work, LGUP doesn't see my device, and when I tried to extract the KZD file, when I go to select it from the list there is no file to choose. Since I can't see anything on my screen, I can't tell if I'm in download mode, bootloader, etc, but in my device tree sometimes my phone will pop up an bootloader interface and I can use fastboot commands. When I was last able to see my screen, yes, USB debugging was on, I had a recovery, but since I can't see anything on my screen I can't seem to boot into recovery. If I could I would wipe cache and all. I think I may have read too many article and suggestions as to what to do because nothing seems to be working, and don't seem to find anything else related closely enough to my issue. Anyone have a clue as to where I should start? I'll have to give my friend back her laptop soon, and since my mac is so old, and the whole PC vs Mac feud, my computer won't be of much help. Any advice my hair strands would greatly appreciate before they rest are pulled out lol
[Magisk] emrozkok:
Im using Pure Nexus with ElementalX kernel and magisk hide just works with core mode only. I have tried other kernel, deleted all frameworks and i have deleted all modules still same thing happening. Please help.
[Magisk] Deic:
The Magisk log is helpful. Anyway try this from terminal

mv /dev/magisk /dev/magisk_system
rm -f /dev/magisk_system/mirror/vendor
ln -s /dev/magisk_system/mirror/system/vendor /dev/magisk_system/mirror/vendor
[Magisk] manor7777:
I already posted a thread about this. It's pretty much the top thread here atm In Magisk forum. Keep it in core only mode until Magisk 13 when it is fixed. Google updated their SafetyNet, that's all! The magisk 13 beta does not pass, but the dev has fixed it. Just wait for full magisk 13 release! :)
[Magisk] emrozkok:
Okay i will wait magisk 13 thank you for your help :)
[Magisk] Deic:
Man, share your magisk log and I help you to pass SafetyNet
[Magisk] emrozkok:
Here it is
[Magisk] Deic:
ohh nice, magisk hide works, then enable all your modules and run the commands of my previous post. Tell me the result, included the log.
[Magisk] kend0g:
I just did a fresh install, and Installed the newest magisk 13 beta. everything works for me. i installed all modules, and safety net passes without being on core only mode.

---------- Post added at 07:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 AM ----------

that's weird I rebooted now safety net doesn't work :(
[Magisk] manor7777:
Until the full magisk 13 release, a.k.a not in beta, the only way to pass currently is core only mode. Check the thread I posted as I was the first one to report it here in Magisk forum. Even with 0 modules installed, you won't pass safetynet without core only mode atm. So easiest fix for now until full 13 release is to install magisk 12 and enable core only mode. You can flash any system mods that don't use magisk and you should be ok.
[Magisk] kend0g:
thanks for the info.. but I can just wait till the official 13 build. the only reason I used magisk hide was for pogo but I don't play that anymore, few times to use android pay. but I just play Walking War Robots now(if they start using safety net ill stop playing android games all together). anyway thank you.
[Magisk] kend0g:
the new 6-16 beta, safety net passes, core only not needed

[Magisk] keshav_c17:
Hello friends,

I have ZenFone 2 running on LineageOS 14.1 and rooted with magisk. I can pass the safetynet only if the core mode is ON and magisk hide is ON. Thats all fine but my problem is after sometimes all of a sudden i cant pass the safetynet even though the Core mode and Magisk hide is enabled. I am unable to figure it out that exactly when does it happens. Sometimes i restart my device i am unable to pass but other times i restart the device it does pass. Its unpredictable. But i want to know the root cause of the problem. Why all of a sudden i am not able to pass the safety net even though Core mode, Magisk hide is enabled? Also my USB debugging is off.

EDIT

- So i flashed a magisk module name "universal safety net fix" and after that even after turning OFF the core mode i am able to pass the Safety Net Hurrah!!!! All credit to the modder who made that module.

This thread will not be maintained anymore. The source code will be still available and updated. So, anyone interested can still download and use this script from here.

3. November 08, 2017

Version 1.3.0.

Added support to flash modules. Some scripts are added to hide the unused folders from output zip. The entire script is now much more simpler.

3. September 23, 2017

Version 1.2.0.

Added support to Framework-res.apk. The entire script is largely simplified in order to make the flashing of "boot.img", "bootanimation.zip", "framework-res.apk", ".jar" & ".so" much easier.

2. June 23, 2017

Version 1.1.0.

Added supported to flash "bootanimation.zip" (only works on ROMs hat supports that functionality) and framework (typically ".jar") files.

Hi guys

Is there any app to securely wipe and shred sms messages from android smartphones?

I've tried andro shredder and ishredder, but without any success, after using them, I can easily recover sms by using Dr.Fone Data Recovery or undeleter.

Regards
[Security Discussion] equi_design:
I guess it would really depend on how much you want "shredded". If you're using a normal sms/mms messaging app - delete all the messages & make sure you don't have them "archived" or backed up (I.e. with an app such as SMS Backup +) anywhere. Also make sure you've never saved them to your SIM card (most likely NO since that hasn't been a normal practice for over 10 years now).

But... You'll never really destroy all the messages since your cell provider has a record of them all.
[Security Discussion] IronRoo:
If your that worried about your msg you should not be using normal sms. lf someone has physical access to your phone they can get anything one way or another. So that other people can't read them encrypt the files then "delete" them so even if they recover they can't read them.

What about using a "secure" msg app? Signal, Telegram etc One you may like is Wire & you don't have to give a phone number, you can even delete the message you have sent from the other persons phone using this app even if you have not set self destruct for that msg
[Security Discussion] urmitnick:
Thank you for your answers. [MENTION=5975519]IronRoo[/MENTION] It's sure that using default android messaging app isn't recommended. Personally, I'm using signal. I'm asking inorder to help someone else.

I was thinking to encrypts the whole phone and then flash it with stock rom, sure the files will be recoverable, but encrypted, the problem is that this option is only available in Andorid M & N, and the concerned tablet is running Kitkat!!

So the only trick is as you said, to encrypt the sms/mms db located at :" /data/data/com.android.providers/telephony/databases/mmssms.db", and then delet it. do you know any encryption app with root access?

Regards
[Security Discussion] IronRoo:
if you encrypt and then flash another ROM you loose that encryption. You can only encrypt after you have flashed those ROM, it's not like Truecrypt or similar.

Sorry I don't know of file encryption apps with root, I've never used file encryption.
[Security Discussion] urmitnick:
Sure the encryption will be lost, but the old sms db won't be recoverable!

Thank you for your support

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tongphan:
hi , gabriel do you mean bluetooth network enable on my desktop, how do you do that, thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] 246810:
If your laptop or Desktop computer is Bluetooth enabled (like mine) then you do not require an adaptor. If your laptop or desktop is not Bluetooth enabled, then you do need a Bluetooth adapter. They cost from about £10/ $20

With my MDA Vario III and my Bluetooth enabled laptop, this is how I connect to the internet on my Windows Vista laptop by sharing the internet from my device:

1) Turn Bluetooth on and also turn on the visibility on your device

2) Now on your laptop/pc (please keep in my mind I’m describing how to set up using a vista laptop), click on ‘My Networks’.

3) Next, click onto ‘network and sharing centre

4) Click onto ‘setup a connection or network’

5) Click onto ‘connect to a Bluetooth personal area network (PAN) and then click ‘next’

6) Click ‘Add’

7) A screen will pop up with a box that needs to be ticked. Tick it and then click next

8) A torch light animation appears as the computer searches for the device

9) A device name such as ‘MDA Vario III’ or similar should appear. Click on it and then onto next

10) A passkey screen appears asking if you want to add a password for whenever you connect your device. Choose which option you want. If you don’t want to create a password, then simply click on ‘don’t use a passkey’

11) Click on next

12) On your device, a sign appears asking if you want to connect to your pc/laptop. Click on yes

13) Then type in the passkey you’ve created (if you have one) in the passcode box which should have appeared on your device. Click on ‘next’.

14) Click on Finish

15)	On your device, click on programs and then onto ‘ internet sharing’

16)	Now if you want to internet share by Bluetooth, under ‘PC Conection’, click on ‘Bluetooth PAN’.

If you want to connect by USB cable, then connect your device to your PC/ Laptop with your cable. Under PC connection, click on USB.

17) Then click on ‘connect’.

18) On your computer/laptop, click on ‘My network’ and then right clik onto ‘Manage network connections’ and ‘View Bluetooth network devices’.

19) Click on your device name and ‘connect’

Although I also own a XP computer, it’s currently not working so I can’t give a step by step guide on how to connect using XP. I do think the methods are pretty similar though.

So I recently ordered an external battery case off ebay. Allegedly, it is an extra 3800mAh to my built-in 2300mAh Nexus 5 battery. Again, allegedly, I should have just over 6000mAh of total battery time with this battery case/charger.

Is there an app on the Play Store that will allow me to measure this, to truly see what the capacity is? Perhaps an app that will measure how much mAh went through my device before it turned off completely? :confused:

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Superfish86:
I'm considering buying the European version of the xz premium for use in the US, since it comes with the fingerprint reader already enabled, and is about $100 USD cheaper. However, I've seen some people raise concern over the cell reception when running the European firmware. I'm wondering if anybody knows if this could be due to the European firmware not matching the physical bands included on the U.S. device (of if that's even a thing), and also if that could be somewhat solved by just getting it straight from Europe. Is there anybody that has the European version that could speak to the cell reception quality in the United States?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Tuerkay:
If you use the European device in the US, you also have to change the settings for the used bands.

There is an option to change used frequencies in *#*#4636#*#*. Guess that would make a difference since the hardware is always the same.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Superfish86:
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks. I didn't know that they all had the same physical bands
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] VeixES:
You don't need to change anything.

When you pop in US sim, all bands are available and appropriate LTE CA combinations are loaded.

3G calling will work, but you will miss out on VoLTE with euro region firmware.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Jake_09:
I ordered mine from Clove as well, and while it does seem to work just fine with my AT&T SIM, I always have only 0-2 bars of signal and the phone always shows 4G/4G+ instead of LTE. Anyone else have this issue? I've been trying to do some digging to see if perhaps there is some setting that I need to adjust such as the APN used or something to get better signal strength. Thoughts?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] jaseman:
First of all, 4G in the UK is the same as LTE in the United States, so no issue there.

Do not look at the bars as this can be manipulated by the programmers. To see how strong your signal really is you need to go to settings > about phone > status > SIM status. The lower the number the better. I am fairly certain that if you DO NOT use 4G you will get a stronger signal which may be perfectly fine unless you need a real fast signal. By not using 4G you will be using 3G. Hope this helps! :good:
