Maybe I am in the same boat as you. I flashed my LGUS997 with LGUP and now phone is stuck in fastboot mode.

You might be able to try using Flash Tool instead of LGUP, and flash with tot or dz. Some people got it working but I couldn't... don't know why :(

Other Repair Benefits of Dev Mode?

I have an LG G5 (VS987) that boots fine but crashes whenever you make a call or open the camera. Speakers/Earpiece won't work. Battery drain is insanely fast and seems like something is running the CPU at 100% - even in safe mode. I tried installing every nougat KDZ under the sun and it does not fix the issue.

Are there any other benefits to Dev Mode that might help in kernel/system software repair? Maybe a chip erase?

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Patching the LGUP file allows you to flash phone series variants you shouldn't be able to flash. Even corrects partition mismatches. You can basically convert one variant to another. This was done especially for the V20 to allow access to bootloader unlock exploit.

But you need patched LGUP for that series. Patched LGUP for G5 which allows that kind of magic won't work on V20. Patched LGUP for V20 won't work for V30.

Now we want a custom patched LGUP file for V30, but no one in that thread has ever done it. So research is being done in the threads where this has been accomplished.

YOU were

credited by the guy who did it for the V20. He said he did something "similar" to this thread,

but it was obviously a "custom" patched LGUP file made for the LG V20. He could not use your files, but used your extraordinary method.

We're now trying to do

something similar with V30

(read only the last few pages). All help is appreciated.

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] enki7:
Ok, this is my problem:

I am the tipically smart-dumb person ( I think I know what to do but usually break the things!).

(I know this is a LG G5 thread, but people are using this technique to fix the same problem with LG V20!)

I had an used LS997 lg v20 bought at ebay, I turned it into a US996 using the dirty santa thread.

But, after everything was ok, I could not connect to my carrier.

So I thought: Hmmm, maybe it is the rom, maybe it is the radio... and tinkered A LOT with roms and radio images.

END RESULT: my LG V20 is now "soft bricked".

The problems:

- LGUP or Uppercut does not read the MODEL, so I can´t do it anything with it.

- FLASHTOOL 2014 always gives me an error that I cant even read, cause the program does not have a roll bar... So I just read "....kdz does not..." and nothing... does not what? Match, work? I dont know.

Weirdly, in a program, my model shows as US996 (what is ok, cause I used dirtysanta), but the "rom" is US99610q.... I dont even know if this rom/model/version exist... cause I cant find it!

So, I tried anything to turn my phone in a KNOWN MODEL, but I cant... and the HEX edit to match DLL and LGUP is beyond my knowlage atm, cause last time I did a hex edit was in a ZX Spectrum, in 80s.

Anyone can guide me what to look, and what to change to try this hex edit? Or anyone has a solution to my problem?

My phone, now, is in a stuck LOGO, no recovery, I can get into fastboot mode, but the bootloader is locked again... and i can get in Download mode... but cant update, cause LGUP, FLASHTOOL and others always find some problem.

Thanks for any answer.

(I already had another phone, but it is a big PITTY for me to have a great phone bricked by me!)

Hi I am not techie and decompiling and making this level of changes is way to hard for me, I have lost download mode and I really need to flash stock ROM so I can further root it and network unlock it (a long way to go). Phone is legit but got screwed up while rooting and downgrading.

Please help me with your modded LGUP.

Use a HEX editor https://mh-nexus.de/en/downloads.php?product=HxD20 in administrator mode.

Search for hex value 3d 09 01 0b 80 7f and replaced with b8 00 00 00 00 eb

Correct me if i'm wrong... but you have to have the .dll for your model, or compatible model to hardware. https://www.mylgphones.com/download-lg-up-software

Then, after you search and replace values you have to rename to LGUP_common. Put in C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\common. If you don't have the file common just create ok

I remember somewhere you said that you got your phone carrier unlocked ........ It's very crucial please tell me can If I can do it my self or get it done professionally. I have already tried to get it locally but they didn't fix it (though they rooted it) because it would take lots of time (that's what I sensed).

My bad, sorry!

If you lost your laft partition ( download mod ), you can't recover by LGUP moded or not.

The only way I know, is if you have root with access to recovery ( TWRP ) or system, you can recover with dd command. If not, you have to recover some primary partition such as boot with QPST.

Hello everybody I got brand new Motorola Defy+ and I want to have newest version of android on it. I am not familiar with rooting etc and unsure if this is possible theres instruction in videos description on youtube "How to Install Android Nougat on Motorola DEFY+ (Android 7.1.1/CM14.1)" ( I can not post links) :confused: If not I am curious what is the safest and easiest way to root the device and if theres available newer system than KitKat for my device

Moreover I wanted to install roehsoft ram expander as the phone got only 512 MB of RAM but test says it has to have compatible kernel from what I remember. Not sure if I have to install new operating system in the first place and then root the phone or the opposite and what kernel it has to have to work properly. As I said before I am not experienced android user its my first device with this system

Thank you in advance ppl peace!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pawwaap:
Amazing, Motorola Defy+ is cool in its segment but can this slim hardware keep up with such a bulky Android version?

It's said in KittyKat threads here phone has a tendency to stutter with KK (as such a demanding OS), and how about Nougat? ;)

Anyway it'd be nice if somebody adjust Nougat to work worth Defy+. Especially it is needed to optimize battery consumption in idle.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pawwaap:
And about rooting, you can just run apk called FramaRoot and job is done :)

Afterwards run SndInitDefy_2.3 and you will have custom recovery installed (CWM), it is just as simple as it! :)

http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/5965fe184202f/Framaroot-1.9.3.apk

http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/5965fe43f2a32/SndInitDefy_2.3.apk

Afterwards, make a nandroid backup and, using already installed custom recovery CWM (which is clumsy, without touch support), you may want to flash TWRP. If so then flash defy_twrp_recovery_2.6.3.0.zip, e.g. from this link:

http://d-h.st/users/tejus.k.v

Although attention: this flashes recovery TWRP to the system partition (probably the phone's recovery partition is to small) overwriting the android system which is already there, so after doing this you must flash some ROM.

It is described in the second post of this KittyKat ROM thread: [ROM] [4.4.2] SlimKat (jordan) [STABLE 4.0] [Weekly 3.85] [Unofficial]

And see Installation Instructions section, good luck! ?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tritius46:
Thank you for your help! My phone dont want to turn on anymore. I've done everything carefully up to the following point"Wipe /data, /cache, and /system in TWRP or use defy_safewipe.zip" (after that I wanted to flash this: "Slim-mb526-4.4.2.build.4-UNOFFICIAL-20140407-2344.zip" cos its ROM right?), but and when it asked me to slide back to the right blue arrow to confirm, my phone booted up and then died after motorola logo. Green led lighted up before death. It seems that it wasnt safe thing despite the name. What to do now? Can I recovery it?

UPDATE: ok its working again :angel:, Ive tried combo "up volume" and "power" buton.

Now Ive got no idea what "Gapps" or "Slimroms addons you want" are, but after mad long startup (with SlimKAT logo on the screen), it seems that this system is working. Its much faster than befo I can see. It's RUNNING! :laugh:

UPDATE 2: Play Store refuses to open on this new system after I installed it. "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped." :rolleyes:
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pawwaap:
I have just flashed this ROM:

[Kitkat][Nightlies] CM11 Android 4.4 for the Defy(+), it is the most advanced so far as I can see, the freshest release is cm-11-20161124-NIGHTLY-mb52x so half a year old.

If you read instructions on this thread you can see it's installation is somewhat tricky.

It includes rearranging partitions layout and sizes.

If you really want experimenting with flashing Nougat you will probably need the technique to change partitions sizes, and you may edit the values inside the resize.zip according to individual needs (post #5595)

And the half of the links from the first post are empty, however in the middle of the thread there are still working links.

After all it's better to follow this version of installing instructions (post #5584)

Also you can find some files here: http://defy.svolkov.name/quarx2k.ru/

I have done partitions resizing, bootstrap, and managed to flash the first ROM, version: cm11.0-defy-newlife.zip,

however wrongly have done cache & Dalvik reset just after resizing (and before ROM flashing): the result is ROM is working well but cannot boot into recovery anyway (and can't recreate recovery anyway either, even doing:

cat /sdcard/bootstrap_ext3.img > /dev/block/mmcblk1p1

as suggested in the post: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57221743&postcount=6510)

And I'd like have the freshest version, the only way is to flash stock and do everything from a start again. Please if you can, how to flash stock? It is said elsewhere the most critical in it is choosing the right version of sbf file, choosing inappropriate would brick a phone irreversibly! And how to know which one to choose, tutorials here are so convoluted and discussions so chaotic! Afraid of touching anything though! ;)

As far as the ROM itself, although it is the first only cm11.0-defy-newlife.zip it works amazingly well!

It boots quickly, is fast, RAM friendly, nice!

(It has little overclocked processor and this makes using the phone so comfortably, just little overclocked so hardware friendly too!)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tritius46:
Again I want to thank you for your response. On the verion of system Ive installed I cant use my camera for video recording because of lack of some codecs it says and I cant watch YouTube. 'Google Services' crashes. The only way I could download some decent apps was from 'Aptoide'. 'Roehsoft Ram Expander' needed Google services so it wont open (ive download 'Kernel audiutor' however I dont have class 10 card yet so I dont know if its good at all). I wont be fighting with this anymore, I am going to try mentioned 'CM11 Android 4.4 for the Defy(+)'.

So I have to go "Recovery" in this secret startup menu before I install it? I mean do I have downgrade my system before instalation of new one? Or just follow the instructions straight from the beggining I dunno. But I dont want any complicated things you know..

The links are dead, but Ive found them files:

defy.7z

Now, you metrioned two rom's but which one is less tricky, cm11.0-defy-newlife.zip or cm-11-20161124-NIGHTLY-mb52x.zip?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pawwaap:
You know, I have installed cm-11-20161124-NIGHTLY-mb52x.zip at last, after exciting night of attempting flashing any stock ROM ;) and then following the procedure exactly from the first post of "[Kitkat][Nightlies] CM11 Android 4.4 for the Defy(+)"

and the updated files: new_bootstrap and resize, found here

It costed many efforts of blindly "trial and error" flashing one by one stock ROMs, until found the one which turned on my phone with anything else than black screen! :)

And everything it was to have possibility of flashing cm-11-20161124-NIGHTLY-mb52x.zip instead of already running cm11.0-defy-newlife.zip.

And you know what? The version cm11.0-defy-newlife.zip seemed running better than the freshest one!

It was, what is most important: faster!!!

And anything else seems the same (so far)!!!

Is the any rationale behind hustle and bustle of flashing the "NIGHTLY" and exactly for what?

Question of stability which user gets know only after some time?

Anyway the speed is everything in such thin hardware like Defy+ and i can't resist an impression cm11.0-defy-newlife.zip is way faster!

And what's more, you probably can flash cm11.0-defy-newlife.zip without the whole convoluted procedure of resizing partitions! (needs checking, if you want simplest way you had better resize partitions ;) )

In fact this version of ROM is the same as:

but cm11.0-defy-newlife.zip was to try if the only resizing procedure itself worked at all (and for users to send feedback).

In fact resizing partitions is needed only for the next ROM versions (of which the freshest is cm-11-20161124-NIGHTLY-mb52x.zip):

"the nightlies AFTER 01 Oct are for the new partition table".

(Aha, cm-11-20161124-NIGHTLY-mb52x.zip probably is odexed, while cm11.0-defy-newlife.zip is deodexed, it needs confirmation)

Google Play still dont work, same error. I kinda came to terms with it as I have Aptoide, but I want to use YouTube..
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pawwaap:
And what do you use to watch YouTube videos? Advise third party apps, e.g. SnapTube etc, instead of YouTube application. In fact forgot installing gapps at all and it makes me happy :) You only now made me think about it :) In such thin hardware it is better to have microG (μG) (for apps refusing running without Google Services) and/or Yalp Store for Play Market access :)

If you insist using bulky Google then try opengapps.org
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tritius46:
I guess gapps are apps for new software? Ok so now that I have downloaded SnapTube I still cant play any video. Its loading but wont start just like videos on my phone storage or just recorded :confused:

I have just recorded a video of my dog, sent it via email (AquaMail), received it in a mail to myself ;) and played it with system player, pretty well!

It is possible freshest NIGHTLY ROM has issues solved, how to check it (without Google)? ;)

And can you play videos self recorded with this phone?

OpenGapps.org provides you ability to choose what package, how complex (I always choose "pico"), and for what platform (yes, KittyKat is still supported) you download.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tritius46:
OK its seems that Google Play cant be downloaded straight to the phone (.apk) after installing new system but gapps worked for me and I got my Google Play working again now. Still no luck with videos on YouTube but vlc is working on files Ive recorded.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pawwaap:
And how have you installed this ROM: with partitions resizing first or on stock layout?

Yes, you can change for e.g.

"Installing the best ROM nowadays for Defy (+)"

And it is said Defy and Defy+ is the same hardware, just plus is rebranded and has overclocked processor (to 1GHz) and bit bigger battery, see section "Facts" in [GUIDE] All-in-One Defy Beginner's guide

or "Yielding Defy competitive nowadays"

It is still phone unique on the market, searched something for summer, a little waterresistant phone which could suit to any even tiniest pocket. And found Defy is just the only one in this kind, nowadays producers offer big smartphones and if you want something little & watertight then you can buy modern smartwatch - thanx, prefer Defy: bigger battery, faster, and of incomparable comfort of usage, for peanuts! :) [emoji106]
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tritius46:
Ive just followed the steps here did exactly what is written step by step from the beggining.

I think now the only is playing videos. Videos I have recorded (on the phone) can be played back only in vlc but still with lags. Same for vids online, however if I choose mobile version of YouTube and try to play stream in vlc it worx but very poor quality. I tried many things without any success, for eg. Flash Fox but the problem is rather in system files than settings and apps itself.

In my custom system I could playback any video.
