So what is the secret to getting adblocking to work on the newest update? I've tried a variety of apps and magisk modules and nothing works. :(

I am using AdAway with Magisk. Seems to be working.

What issues are you having?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] _Epic:
I feel like some ads are blocked and some aren't. Could have something to do with the fact that I lose root on restart sometimes.

Could be. A stable version of Magisk 13 should be out soon. I am hopeful that will fix some of the issues.

[LG K20 Plus Questions & Answers] Aletron9000:
I have a LG K20 plus with t mobile as the carrier. I believe the model should be TP260. I mistakenly restored a twrp backup from a metro pcs phone that I got from this site coincidentally. Now my phone drops calls and data frequently and shows metro pcs on bootup vs tmobile. I have a kdz file but it won't flash because it now also thinks the model is MP260...not TP260 and says it's a mismatch. Any ideas on how I can get a restore for tmobile to try to reset the phone?

i could use a restore too. I installed super SU root and lost access to android pay. I wasnt to try that magisk root
[LG K20 Plus Questions & Answers] colemanimal:
I restored mine with the linked files.

install LG driver (uninstall any other drivers first)

install LGUP

remove battery from phone and replace

hold volume up key

insert USB while holding down volume up key

phone will boot to download mode

drivers will find phone

run UPPERCUT.exe

UPPERCUT.exe will launch LGUP with phone connected. if phone is not connected try again.

in LGUP lower window browse to TP26010k_00_0316.kdz

choose UPGRADE option in LGUP

click START in LGUP

factory ROM and Recovery will be installed, bootloader will still be unlocked

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BygTApD1iNSSb3pCcU9RRlV1MVE

magisk can be installed using the same method as superSU. Mine is working along with AndroidPay
[LG K20 Plus Questions & Answers] kc6wke:
You were able to install TWRP after this process with the TP26010k_00_0316.kdz?

I am on TP26010E and don't want to upgrade to TP26010k if TWRP cannot be flashed as it has been stated here.
[LG K20 Plus Questions & Answers] colemanimal:
Yeah, you have to perform OEM unlock again, but I have been able to flash TWRP after flashing the previously attached .kdz with the LGUP tool
[LG K20 Plus Questions & Answers] meazz1:
Can I install this kdz from twrp and install supersu?
[LG K20 Plus Questions & Answers] colemanimal:
no, you have to use LGUP tool. This is a LG image that will flash everything including your recovery partition, and not a flashable ROM image.
[LG K20 Plus Questions & Answers] eroc8785:

[LG K20 Plus Questions & Answers] blas4me:
I flashed the modded ROM for MetroPCS, and couldn't flash kdz file because my phone was identified as MP260, instead of TP260.

I wiped the phone and re-locked the bootloader, and the phone would only boot into download mode, It gave a message about it being corrupted.

I took it back to TMO, and the sales people thought it was a virus, and replaced the device.

I've made a TWRP backup for anyone who runs into the same problem. This will fix your problem, so you can use the flash tools available for this device.

NOTE: I also provided Root tools and instructions for those Rooting for the first time.

1. Power off device, plug into computer, then hold volume up for download mode and let COM drivers install, you may need to change COM port to 41, through device manager.

2. In LGUP, choose upgrade or FOTA upgrade.

2. Once you flash firmware, you'll have to hit reset once or twice to get rid of the encryption failure notification.

3. Enjoy rooting your device again if you so choose.

ROOTING:

NOTE: Must have ADB & Fastboot setup already.

First you must unlock your bootloader.

1. In about phone settings, tap build number 6x to get developer settings, enable adb debugging and OEM unlock. Now plug into your computer.

2. Boot into Fastboot mode.

A. Open command prompt and type: adb reboot-bootloader.

B. Next type: fastboot oem unlock.

WARNING: You'll be prompted to factory reset device to protect your data. Your chance to turn back, if your brave then continue. Your device will factory reset, and you'll have to perform the first step again and you'll be ready to root.

1. To flash TWRP, plug into computer, then in command line navigate to where you have your recovery.img

A. adb reboot-bootloader

B. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

2. Pull battery and manually boot into recovery,

A. volume+down as soon as you see LG, release then press again quickly and hold, follow the steps provided.

3. Hit cancel for the encryption notice, and swipe to modify system.

4. You must format device to get rid of encryption message, so choose format and it will ask you to type, yes.

5. Stay in recovery and flash the no-encryption.zip, and Magisk, if you choose to use it for your SU manager. Stay in recovery.

6. Reboot into recovery, and then set up your TWRP environment.

7. Enjoy Root:laugh:

NOTE: If you decide to root again, try using Magisk for SU management. Magisk's mods are excellent, and can run along side Xposed. If you choose Magisk, do not flash SuperUser.zip

Question I have a metropcs k20 version.Can I flash the t-mobile Rom with any problems.Thanks
[LG K20 Plus Questions & Answers] blas4me:
You could probably flash the TWRP back up. After that your device would be Identified as TP260, by the flash tools and you'd end up with the same issue I had, when you decided to go back to stock, so make a TWRP backup on external memory. The KDZ file most likely won't flash because it performs a DLL check, to match device with firmware.

I started over at square one. Reinstalled the original firmware. Booted into FASTBOOT and checked Aadb getvar all. Boot loader unlocked says : YES. I downloaded and flashed the recovery image for TWRP for my device (K20 Plus,) the flash says

C:\android\platform-tools>fastboot flash recovery C:\Users\Trader\Desktop\recovery.img

Sending 'recovery' (28944 KB) OKAY [ 0.932s]

Writing 'recovery' OKAY [ 0.381s]

Finished. Total time: 1.315s

I reboot the device. I hold the down volume button and the power button to get into RECOVERY mode. TWRP does not load. All that happens is the device gets erased and I'm back to square one.

What am I doing wrong?
[LG K20 Plus Questions & Answers] cglas36:
I somehow bricked my LG K20 (from attempting to flash custom kernel...don't do that lol) and even though I have TWRP backups, now nothing appears on the screen of the phone but a slight illumination indicating the phone is on. I've tried numerous reboots, power cycles, hard reboots, boot with no battery, etc. So I finally gave up trying to restore and downloaded the factory firmware, LGUP, the mobile driver and Uppercut to flash back to factory and start fresh, since my PC does acknowledge when the device is plugged in (usually under USB as ADB Device and also under Portable Devices as "TP260"). ADB won't do anything though, only commands that work are reboot commands which just returns the phone to the same interface over and over. HOWEVER, I can get the LG to boot and show up as LG AndroidNet Serial USB (something like that) by using the vol+ boot methods outlined here, and I can even get LGUP to open and display the device long enough for me to select the firmware and begin the Upgrade process BUT, regardless of what I do while the phone is in that Download mode, it reboots before flashing...or before it can get to the flashing process. It'll boot up, Device Manager shows it on COM3/COM4 as LG ANDROID USB SERIAL, and after 5-10 seconds, it reboots automatically WITHOUT FAIL... interrupting the flash process and often freezing LGUP. I'm using Windows 11. It did this on Windows 10, too. I've tried using different USB ports, the OEM micro-USB cable and other micro-USB cables all to no avail.

Can anyone give me advice on why the device will not stay powered on under Download mode? Or maybe, if it's reading as ADB, any aspect of ADB that I could try utilizing to get this back to TWRP (adb reboot fastboot/bootloader returns it back to ADB device under USB Devices, at the very bottom of Device Manager). I CAN even access shell via "adb shell", including pulling adb getprop and logcat with no trouble...but I cannot get it to simply stay in Download mode and chill whilst LGUP flashes or "Upgrades" it back to OEM stock. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I considered trying to run Garuda Linux or another Wine-friendly Linux distro but LGUP won't play nice with Wine AND recognize the device via USB at the same time... most likely because my knowledge of correctly setting up a full-Wine environment, including access to peripherals via USB, is very, very limited.

Again, to recap, the device vibrates upon powering it on and the screen illuminates but stays black...no LG logo, no boot screen of any kind.

Much appreciated...sorry for so many details, I'm just hoping someone might still be around to read this and have some form of advice or input.

Thanks again. Take care.

My LG dev is showing up in LGUP as Unknown (COM4) any ideas??
[LG K20 Plus Questions & Answers] genesan:
Hi there...

So I've had the very same issue for months now. I've lost my IMEI and ability to use the network altogether because the model number of my device is TP260 but I somehow managed to inadvertently install the MP260 firmware instead and now LGUP fails to refurbish/fota refurbish/upgrade/etc the device with anything OTHER THAN the MP260 firmware.

I was wondering if I might ask you if you used any tools in particular to successfully get your device back on the TP260 firmware?

I have LGUP FRAMEWORK VERSION 1_14_3 and also LGUP FRAMEWORK VERSION 1_16_0_3. Should I be using one over the other? I also have Uppercut. When I first got this device I did successfully create FULL backups in both TWRP and Red Wolf Recoveries...and I'm able to successfully restore either but LGUP still maintains the device is of the MP260 variant.

Are you using Windows or Linux? Which version/distro? Any advice that you could give would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time!

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinsorted:
Hi all,

Firstly, apologies if I have posted this in the wrong area & if this has been covered a number of times before.

I have had a Nexus 9 for the last 18 months, since the upgrade to marshmallow, the tablet is sooo laggy and at times completely unusable. I have tried wiping the cache partition and that helps for an hour or so but then its back.

I have also read, some people have put a custom kernel on and it has done the job.

Being rather new (but capable) to custom kernels, i am hoping for some straight forward guidance to which is the best kernel to put on and perhaps a how to guide.

Thank You

Just realised that this should be in the Q&A thread. Not sure how to move it myself, but if an admin/moderator could do it I would be grateful.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ritchea:
Have you considered going to nougat? You don't really say how long you've been having the issues. Mine started lagging after about 6 weeks of getting it (over two years ago). It also locks up quite a bit. It used to spontaneously reboot. My solution was/is a complete wipe as in factory reset every 4-8 weeks. Have you ever tried a factory reset? I do run ElementalX kernel but run stock OS as the custom ROMs I tried didn't help.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinsorted:
The tablet is on Nougat now. I've been having these issues for over a year now. I don't get the sudden lock up and reboot though.

Done the factory reset many times, will cache partition. I read somewhere that the custom kernel really helps.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ritchea:
It could be an app, or more than one. I run as few as possible. I stopped Facebook as it was an issue. My TouchPal keyboard also caused problems. When you reset, do you just let Google restore your apps?

As far as custom kernel, is your bootloader unlocked? Are you rooted? Wug's Nexus root Toolkit works well​ most of the time if you're not familiar with the darker (joke) side of Android.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinsorted:
Ive tried running the tablet with only stock apps after a reset.

I will try and be clear here, I have been through nearly all the common fixes (resets/app deletion etc) for having a laggy tablet, except the rooting etc.

It might just be something you have to do periodically. EMMC storage chip performance often degrades in the long term if you don't do a wipe. This is the type of storage most phones and tablets use.

What I can suggest you is to reset to Nougat (7.1.1) and not install further updates.
