I know it may sound really strange, but does someone have acces to dc-phoenix? i really need to repair this phone by tomorrow evening, but my parents refused to let me pay for it... i would really appreciate it, and even consider donation once phone will be fixed
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] :
15 credits/€ only last for 72h which is more than enough time to fix the phone. My login expired, hope someone can help you.
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] :
Copy the update files on the ExtSd. Flash with TWRP the UPDATE.ZIP. Ignore the error message and flash then the other files. Now flash the stock recovery. A Factoryreset explain and reboot. Then carry out the update on the next version.
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] :
Sorry, that's all I can do for you.

How to unbrick your LX-1:
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] EXE bahotin:
I also have a bricked p8 Lite 2017. The rescue system on. Mega is not available. Please give me another link :(
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] theholycutu:
If you have B106 it won't work btw..
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] :
The link is ok.!
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] :
My backup is B100. Everything is overwritten. It starts directly into the started update on the B164.
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] theholycutu:
Yes I saw that but unfortunately it doesn't work at all with B106. I have B106 and the system partition is too small for that update..
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] :
Have you make a factoryreset in the stock recovery?

---------- Post added at 11:35 ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 ----------

Test the method from #28. With it I have repaired several times the Brick. Then take my new backup.
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] theholycutu:
Haven't tried with the method from #28. I'll try it out and tell you how it goes.

Unfortunately, I have to wait another 5 hours to download from MEGA since transfer quota was exceeded :(
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] EXE bahotin:
is your backup can work in PRA-LX2 B160??
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] :
I dont know.
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] EXE bahotin:
Why? But it its have the same specs.

---------- Post added at 03:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------

I have a full backup of my PRA LX2 in TWRP,. except data. because it always gives an error when backing up data
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] :
Show in my Root thread #1 below on the side: Tip:

---------- Post added at 14:44 ---------- Previous post was at 14:39 ----------

When you make a factoryreset in the stock revovery, then you can restore the data partition in TWRP. Never make a FR in TWRP. Brick !
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] aciupapa:
Please, someone link me to full firmware PRA-LX1C432 to flash with dc-phoenix :)
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] :
Download with the firmwarefinder.apk, also on another device.
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] EXE bahotin:
But i don't have the backup of my data in TWRP :(
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] :
This is the one and only firmware you need, It's B110, latest official one that is available to download, restore with that and you will get OTA to B164.
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] :
You cannot make with TWRP a backup of the data partition. After the B100 this did not go any more to 100%. If, nevertheless, then it was damaged.
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] EXE bahotin:
is my TWRP backup will work without data?
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] :
Yes. Except the data partition is lost or damaged.
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] EXE bahotin:
but it will boot without data?
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] :
No boot without data.
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] EXE bahotin:
aww but do you think what is the reason of i cant access camera and Audio after recovering from bootloop

---------- Post added at 11:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 PM ----------

where can i get the data ?
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] :
With my backup you can fix everything.
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] EXE bahotin:
My problem is. I have PRA-LX2. is your backup also works for me? ?. thanks for your responses i appreciate it. but the problem is i cant access camera and audio ☹️. it can be fixed or this is forever ?

---------- Post added at 11:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 PM ----------

is your backup have the data ?
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] :
Yes ! :). LX-2 is Nova lite, the same as P8 lite 2017.
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] EXE bahotin:
Oh thank you very much! I asure you im willing to donate as a appreciation if i restore mine
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] :
Thanks, this is not necessary. If we try to save only your device.
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] EXE bahotin:
Oh thank you man your the one who really responsed at my problems
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] aciupapa:
Am i supposed to flash every single partition of the file you linked?

---------- Post added at 10:59 ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 ----------

OK, my device booted by flashing bXXX (i dont remember wich ione, in settings it shows b100, I Oem unlocked it again, and saved all the codes and imeis. I hope i can recover it :) Still no sound,camera, google apps and bootanimation
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] EXE bahotin:
thats what happened to me. no sound and camera. what i did is to download Huawei Firmware Finder in Playstore and Find the Full Firmware then make some steps to popup the update on settings(system update) now i have full functioning system. no bugs at all
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] boofman:
I think you did the Proxy settings on Firmware Finder?
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] EXE bahotin:
absolutely ?
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] boofman:
Great! That confirms the Rescue firmware and the steps!
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] yuvaanraj:
Confirmed!

Rescue Box confirmed working on PRA-LA1! Was running out of willpower to fix this thing and this was my last hope... IT WORKED! Thank you! In the process of cleaning and installing Magisk v13.3. Fingers crossed that it all works out :eek::p:D

EDIT: Not working: Developer options, lock screen security(pin, passw, fingerprint), factory reset

b146 OTA failed, offered b110-full on reboot, currently downloading

Update: B110-FULL updated successfully, device is working normally :)
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] JMO_Brown:
Are you getting B171 updates yet?
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] yuvaanraj:
Yeah updated fine, phone will identify as PRA-LX1
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] JMO_Brown:
Yeah, I've noticed. If I'll be updating to B110, should I use the factory recovery.img?
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] yuvaanraj:
Yes all OTAs must be done with stock recovery
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] JMO_Brown:
Even if it's rooted right?
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] yuvaanraj:
Yes, friend ;)
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] JMO_Brown:

Where and how can I update my phone to b171? I'm on rooted device with magisk and twrp 3.1.1.2 my device is pra lx1c432b170
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] JMO_Brown:
I'm facing error mode!
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] yuvaanraj:
OTA, uninstall magisk and flash stock recovery
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] JMO_Brown:
You mean I should perform Volume + and Volume - procedure?
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] yuvaanraj:
What "error mode"?

Best bet would be to use rescue box, update b110 will fail, b110 full will install, b171 will fail, b171-full will install. Using system update OTA.
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] yuvaanraj:
My exact process used to update to b170:

After I used rescue box and update to b110 I performed a factory reset(stock recovery) and then a TWRP backup (i.e a new rescue box).

It's the same process as the rescue box, just using a newer backup.

Confirmed working on PRA-LA1 (phone will identify as PRA-LX1 and safetynet will fail.

[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] yuvaanraj:
Use Huawei update extractor and flash stock via fastboot, use rescue box, update b110, factory reset, update b170
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] JMO_Brown:
Thank for the quick reply. I dont think its picking it up coz I ran this command:

fastboot devices

And I'm getting nothing

---------- Post added at 10:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 AM ----------
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] aciupapa:
For error mode, wait until phone battery dies and connect it to pc with volume down pressed

It will go into fastboot mode and from there unlock bootloader again or flash a proper recovery image
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] JMO_Brown:
It's all sorted now....

[SOLUTION]

It couldn't turn off.... so I left it the whole night then the battery died. In the morning when I wake up I put it on charger and it didn't turn itself on (usually turns on then straight to error mode) then I had to turn it on. By the time I turned it on I wasn't even looking coz I was stressed, anyways.... I now heard the HUAWEI boot up tone. :cool:Bang!!! Everything back to normal again. At the moment I'm updating to B110 FULL 27% to go.:laugh:

Cool story bro ;) Have you ever heard of odin ? flash the dam phone with the latest Galaxy S8 S8+ Firmware and you should be good to go....
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mark manning:
When the OP gets back from his small vacation he will be free to post about the demo unit as he sees fit. It is not up to XDA or its members to decide in what manner he got the phone. If he says he bought it off ebay, then he bought it off ebay.

The entire moderation team has discussed this thread and the topic in general. We have demo unit threads all across XDA for multiple OEMs and have for years. It's not for you, anyone else, or XDA to decide where these devices came from. They can be bought off eBay and other legitimate sites. It's between the seller, those sites they were bought off, and the OEM to decide what actions to take. XDA see's no reason to punish members for trying to get a deal on a phone. If a member were to admit to stealing the device, that would be a different story.

If we ever were to get a takedown notice from OEM, then we would worry about it but that is highly unlikely to happen.

If anyone wants to discuss this further my PM box is open but keep the discussion out of this thread.

I bought a g4 near a week ago and it says on the back sticker that its H811 but when i entered download mode it was korean and i found something mentioning f500 any way i flashed 20r kdz for h811 and phone bricked(9008 mode)then i used ls991 mbn file to use in QFIL and revive my phone now when i flash any kdz for h811 phone bricks and i have to flash mbn files again however the phone boots up but no camera no imei no baseband im very confused can anyone help?

Any chance that flashing f500l tot file revive the phone?

Thanks.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMadScientist:
may have to dissassmble the device and find out what motherboards on it weve seen cases like this before and its not easy i would return it and say wtf
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamescool:
you would say there is a chance to recover it or not?does it worth it?

Thanks for reply
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMadScientist:
In my opinion no its not worth the hassle but ot only takes 5 mine to check ot 2. Unless its got the bootloop issue or hard bricked its fixable. But how determined are you.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamescool:
my phone boots up completely but no baseband no imei or anything and that infamous 9008 brick is fixable with ls991 laf.img and 8992.mbn and etc... files and here is my next approaches please if you have enough aknowledge guide me with these options i have or add any if something came on your mind:

1.Flashing a ls991 model kdz and see what comes out(probably not doable,lgup may not let me flash it)

2.while surfing through the forums and threads i found the exact H811 10N Laf.img and i will replace it with ls991's and will use QFIL to correct the partitions and then my phone would be fixed(im too scared for this one...maybe my phone is a refurbished F500...who knows? :fingers-crossed: )

3.Maybe finding and flashing F500 laf.img fix the phone but a HUGE problem i am facing:where to find that file?:(

Note:All i am trying to do is to fix this phone by software approaches and disassembling the phone is out of my options for now(only will do if none of above fix it properly)

So with all of that what would you do if you be in my shoes?:cyclops:

Always hated LG and admired Sony but i started to hate xperia x series because of weak development so i bought this one for around 100$ in your currency.:laugh:
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMadScientist:
Id send it back.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamescool:
My curiousity will kill me someday:D

I believe i can fix it and beside that learning new things about lg devices is interesting since i bought it for only 100 bucks from an old pal who does nt know what actually smart phone is:laugh:

Anyway i learnt how to extract laf from kdz files and im going to test both f500l and h811 and pray:cyclops:

if i fix it properly i would make a thread to share my experience with this refurbished(dont know actually if it is)

phone and help people who brick their refurbished phone and dont know how to fix it :cowboy:
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMadScientist:
i use the old wilcracks diag toot and lg firware extractor to extract any bins u need
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamescool:
then i will use them to crack open kdz from both H811 and F500L firmwares to flash laf and other messed up files with fastboot

but im wondering which one should i try first because im concerned if i flash wrong files then there will be even no 9008 mode to use QFIL and get back to very first step...:eek:

What is going to happen exactly when i flash another varient's laf? will it kill the phone completely or will there be any 9008?:rolleyes:

Thanks for those apps you mentioned btw:good:
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMadScientist:
yea ive been using em since g2.and i use em on all lgs . diag tool is for flashing but at the bottom u can extract

i get my own .dlls for lgg2 flash tool and i flash orig g4 firmware with it still.

if i could find the tot would for g5.

now if u break 9008 jtag i think is the only fix i dont know the pin outs or if the g4 even supports that like the g3 and 2. thats why i say take device apart its fricken easy there should be a sticker on the mother board or stamps that say the mbs model and go from there
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamescool:
dissembled the phone and it was f500l as expected so i decided to go with f500 laf.img and then my phone got fixed up completely ive even replaced modem and other h811 things except for system now my phone is working perfect again and im going to flash a stock based rom's system.img (10N) with fastboot :D

Thanks for your precious info once again:cyclops:

Actually LG devices are very easy to disassemble so people like them wont put so much effort to refurbish LG phones and earn themselves some easy money.

And believe me Iran is the heaven of refurbished and chinese phones

Mostly because many cant afford to buy their phones and other stuff from trusted sellers and they buy them with no warranty(or guarranty)from third party sellers.

Actually they have a place for themselves in downtown(Aladdin building).

But i wanted a flagship LG device to learn more about it and i got it for a couple of bucks so it really didnt matter if my G4 didnt work as expected.

But its always a pleasure to make some mystery and try to crack the case by yourself :laugh:
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMadScientist:
the whole lg g series is a wonderful device for do it your self i have owned a g2 g3 g4 and now g5 even thought i said i would never by lg again after g4 i got a stylo3 and my wife sports a stylo 2

im working on a us cellular s5 now as we speak and i sometimes run my gs6 edge nut not much since i got g5.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamescool:
of course they are great but hardware faults are pretty big deal but for me sony z series were better right until z3+ .for now im happy with my htc u11 and im not going to unlock it or anything.

maybe i use g4 as my secondary device instead of xperia z2.

its a shame that sony is not in its golden age (2011-2013) anymore...

will make a thread to help people like me to unbrick their refurbished device

hi guys.just got my tytn II today.but active sync is not detecting in anyway.my handset is enabled with usb.but when i plug it to the computer onlya sound comes but active sync does not detect it.any helpwould be much appreciated...sorry if this happensto be a repost.

when im trooubleshooting its tellin me this:1.unable to get ip adress..go to web add for help.2.unable to establish connection between pc and device.

3.no additional known issues....i checked out the web sites...everythings fine...but still not working the active sync.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] HeavenLee:
If your PC is "seeing" your device but Activesync is not:

Make sure that you are running Activesync 4.5.

Change your USB to PC Settings (Start>Settings>Connections Tab>USB to PC) while your device is hooked up to your PC to see if that triggers the recognition.

Check your Activesync Connection Settings (File>Connections I think) and make sure that Allow USB Connections is selected.

Disable your firewall on your PC, if you can connect then, you need to enter exceptions in AS to get past this restriction.

Another thing to check: Check your Network Card Settings (Start>Settings>Connections Tab>WiFi>Network Adaptors Tab).

Tap on Remote-NDIS Host. Make sure that User Server Assigned IP address is selected.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Dr. Strangelove:
I had a similar problem once. Turned out is was my own fault.

I had manually disabled the network connection Activesync needs to detect the Kaiser. This might be relevant for your issue:

On your computer goto 'Network Connections' (via 'Control Panel', assuming you have XP)

Connect the Kaiser to the computer

Enable the disabled network connection

You might want to switch to 'Tiles' view. The third line will read 'Windows mobile-based device'. That network connection needs to be enabled.

Good luck!

2.

OK I tried everything and cannot sync with my corporate PC work (XP with SP2).

I cannot get a local network LAN address on the Tilt regardless if I use NDIS or not and regardless if I provide the DNS server address or not it insists on its default mobile IP.

Funny enough "My Mobile" works through "Connect IP" to the default IP address 169.254.2.1

I tried almost all settings and nothing worked. On top I contacted MS just to receive a hotfix for the USB-2-NDIS drivers which didn't work either.

ANY idea anybody?

I also get the mysterious 80072EFD error from activesync 4.5.
