If you on stock you don't need to use LG UP. Use instead of it the repair option of LG Bridge.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] AM Radio:
server error using Bridge.

using the LGUP/Uppercut method with A/V off, updating now ...
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] AM Radio:
well, this isn't good.

phone shows 72% complete. but LGUP is giving me an error at 60%:

Error: 0x2BC, Invalid command response code = 0x80000202

could be a bad download, i'm re-dl'ding the KDZ ... fingers crossed
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] AM Radio:
wow.

okay, so i downloaded a new KDZ, ran it in LGUP with no problems this time. (note: do NOT download from LG-firmwares.com -- that is, unless you have a download manager. produced download errors. instead, i grabbed the KDZ from [MENTION=1063700]Montechristo[/MENTION]'s post here.) phone rebooted twice, and two things happened:

1. phone is in the EXACT same state in which i left it before "updating" in LGUP. i remember i had a few apps running, including YouTube, Chrome, and the HiFi DAC settings. they were all still in the recent apps list. so firmware update changed nothing, dropped me right back to the home screen the way i left it.

2. QuadDAC still doesn't recognize my headphones!

so here's what i think, with no way to prove it until i get some high-end cans: i think the 10e update for the 870DS changed the impedance trigger level. my cans are only 65ohm, which used to be recognized as "high impedance" by the device (even though in practical terms 65ohm would barely qualify as "high") in the previous firmware. so maybe 10e changed the range from 50ohm minimum to 100ohm?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] trellaine201:
Auto activate?

Can someone help me. Does the quad DAC activate automatically? When I connect my bowers and Wilkins headphones I have to manually switch it. :( am I doing something wrong. One of the main reasons buying this was for this spec, feature.

Thanks
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kabirjedi:
what headphone do you use?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] AM Radio:
late update/follow-up

so i believe was correct: the firmware that came installed on my phone out of the box had a lower tolerance impedance level, so those with "mid-range" impedance triggered the HiFi Quad DAC. subsequent firmware updates increased this level. had the chance to try several high-impedance cans, and HiFi was triggered automatically each time. went back to my old headphones, no action.

so: my Quad DAC is not broken. just that my headphones weren't cutting it, haha

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] michaelyogi:
we need to find the latest stock rom. The roms in needrom site are not the latest
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wooky321:
Thanks for working on this!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] michaelyogi:
the above method works nice. Well done bobslesbricoleurs !!:good:

But i'm having a problem! I flashed the phone with the rom from needrom and now the device does not have the Vernee VOS intalled!

Can someone upload the factory rom?

The factory ROM is mars_pro_21070630154451
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RastHacker:
Don't worry about factory rom, i've flash v0.05 from needrom as factory, and it works perfectly
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] michaelyogi:
it works but that is NOT the latest factory rom that it ships with.

This one you installed does not have all the functionality. This one does NOT have the Vernee VOS software

the latest one mars_pro_21070630154451 from June 30th

the one you flashed is from April 14th ! ( vA05.N0.170414 )
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RastHacker:
Ok i didn'r known but on vernee official website the mars pro support page is 404 not found
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] michaelyogi:
their customer service sucks.

What we need is the latest rom. Otherwise the phone is half the phone of what it can be.

I'm still searching but i cannot find anything..:confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wooky321:
I'll try and look into this tomorrow, cheers guys

---------- Post added at 10:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 PM ----------

I did also try this but found no 'bloatware' on it...I'm not convinced ;) - http://rootjunkysdl.com/files/Gates/DeBloater/Debloater-setup-v3.90.exe

I have found a com.adups.fota folder in file manager and this is apparently spyware?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RastHacker:
I manually debloat with titanium backup
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wooky321:
I can't get titanium backup working with root :/
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RastHacker:
??!! Me yes are you sure it's rooted?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wooky321:
Sorry a mistype... I can't get it working without root. I have yet to try this tutorial, was waiting to find the latest rom!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] michaelyogi:
has anyone found the latest stock rom yet?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tischbein:
My phone got the version mars_pro_20170705222633 and it seems to be the latest. It says that my system is up to date.

Can't get the phone rooted with the tutorial above, just once it downloaded from phone and progress bar changed to yellow. Afterwards by trying step 3 no TWRP came up with booting into recovery, just the plain lying android figure saying "no command" or something like that.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] michaelyogi:
did your device update to this version or it came like that out of the box?

---------- Post added at 06:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 PM ----------

After the sp flash tool finishes UNPLUG and TURN your PHONE OFF.

Then make sure it's OFF.

Now PLUG IT to your usb.

Then OPEN the ROOT FILE.

That's it!

Then reboot!

if you can find a way to extract your latest ROM and upload it here so we can all update to the latest firmware!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tischbein:
Came with that version out of the box.

Will try to root tomorrow again, although I did these steps. But now it simply downloads and exit with an error.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] michaelyogi:
ok let us know.

Also try to extract the rom and upload it here first :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tischbein:
I'd like to upload the ROM, unfortunatly MTK Droid Tool doesn't recognize my phone, although Windows does.

Tried to change the UDB connections as well, no success.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wooky321:
Thank for trying this. Are the ADB drivers installed on the computer and USB debugging mode on/not in charge only mode? cheers :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tischbein:
Magisk has been updated to v14. Does anyone has successfully upgraded?

Otherwise I'll do the firmware upgrade and try to gain root again and will install Magisk v14 through the kit from [MENTION=5957610]RastHacker[/MENTION].
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RastHacker:
I've installed latest recovery but can't install update of magisk, it stay at v13.1
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tischbein:
I successfully installed Magisk v14 through TWRP 3.1.1, though BusyBox can't be installed
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RastHacker:
Same, finally it works.

But i don't know why normal xposed works but systemless no even with magisk installed.

And can't install any magisk module.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tischbein:
Me neither
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Wiggles2703:
[MENTION=5957610]RastHacker[/MENTION] Thanks for your work with the VerneeMarsPro_ToolKit. exe so you can root your Verne Mars pro very quickly. The thing was a little crazy at first when the root. bat was still there. But with the exe it is very easy! I'd have a question. Would it be possible to program the EXE so that it might Magisk V14 installed?

Otherwise like said super work!

!!!Nice greetings from Germany and sorry for the bad English!!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tischbein:
[MENTION=7991688]Wiggles2703[/MENTION]

If you get to install TWRP 3.1.1 you can install Magisk v14 through it. Have a look further up the thread, there is the recovery to flash TWRP 3.1.1.

I just figured out that is is not possible to do the OTA within the internal update. Tried to install the august OTA and the phone recognize that it is rooted. Even with de-installation of Magisk and even flashing the recovery from august it still says that it found root.

Looks like I have to do a full flash :rolleyes:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RastHacker:
I'll try this weekend
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cirnocirno:
Question, does this phone have any custom roms or is it just going to be stuck with Android 7.0?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Domnea:
First step for a custom rom is TWRP Recovery, we got our first working recovery few days ago so now we can wait and see if someone will be able to port a custom rom to this phone. I'm absolutely sure that more than one will try to port a custom rom. I don't know... probably I will try myself to port a custom rom to this phone if nobody does it, but... I didn't succeed to port any rom since Android 4.4...many things have changed in Android 5 and 6... And now in 7. The process it become more difficult and I'm not sure if I want to go this way again. For someone like me it takes a lot of time to be honest...just for trying. But the specs of this phone are very popular so in theory this should not be a problem for someone who did this recently.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cirnocirno:
Thanks for the reply.

It would be very interesting to see how much stuff can get into this phone. It's one of the better phones from Vernee.

I know Vernee Apollo Lite has 7.1.2 and works well but I heard it overheats and has bad battery.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mermigas:
From my past experience with Vernee Thor , MAD team are well organized to produce a custom ROM , but they will need the source code to do that.

https://www.facebook.com/MediatekAndroidDevelopers/

PS Also we can wait something from 4PDA

PS1

And here is MAD team reply for AOSP ROM
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] LuigiTheHunter:
Magisk v14 kannst du doch einfach so installieren ohne toolkit...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Domnea:
Funny enough, my second phone is Apollo lite. There are 2 custom roms which I can recommend for apollo lite the last MADOS 7.1.2 rom and the one from needrom site RR.7.1.1 by Verevka. In my opinion ResurrectionRemix is better the battery life is insane... About heating problems is nothing to be concern, yes it becomes a little hot but not more than it should be. (usually it gets pretty quick to a hot point but it doesn't go higher). Two months ago I did a test Apollo lite vs Samsung s6 .... After 15 minutes in direct sunlight(in one of the most hot day this summer) the s6 was so laggy... I was surprised how well Apollo lite managed that scenario... After that I put both phones on YouTube playback( full HD) in a loop mode and guess what? the battery on apollo lite last longer then s6 with about 40 minutes! (from 100 to 5%).after that I put both phones to charge with music playing in background and screen off. The apollo lite got 100% recharged in about 1 and half hour meantime s6 got only 63%! Just to be clear, all this time both phones stayed in direct sunlight! So yeah, non of them shut down (as I expected) and even if mtk soc doesn't have the raw power to compete with s6, if the phone is built well the daily usage experience is awesome! That's way I bought the mars pro despite the fact vernee has so bad software support. Still they do good quality phones.

Now I own 2 vernee phones and to be honest I think apollo lite is better in terms of performance/daily usage but mars pro is more elegant... And has a slightly better camera... And of course much better fingerprint sensor... For those reasons I use mars pro for daily use(most of the time on super power saving mode) and apollo lite for games at home.

I'm still waiting for vernee to make a phone with helio x30 :laugh:

I guess I became a vernee fan boy... :cool:

Almost forgot I do really like the vos on Mars pro and I think they will improve it with more tweaks in future... I just got a feeling that we will get root out of the box some day. :fingers-crossed:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Wiggles2703:
Darf ich fragen wie du das machst? Ich muss es immer wieder neu installieren. Ich denke es bleibt im Cache bei mir hängen!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tischbein:
Install it with TWRP, not through Magisk itself.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Wiggles2703:
Thank you [MENTION=598894]Tischbein[/MENTION] but in TWRP you cannot control the display. I might have the old TWRP version?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tischbein:
Yes you have to install TWRP 3.1.1, it's linked further up this thread
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Wiggles2703:
So the TWRP of Jemmini does not work for me. I haven't tried the twrp of Hanuma yet.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] LuigiTheHunter:
Bei mir geht das 1a. Wieso geht es beidir nicht? Hast du die Sprache umgestellt?

The TWRP works just fine, for me why not 4 u? Did u changed the language?

Greetings.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RastHacker:
Yeah it works download in first post, i have updated recovery with jemini's recovery
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Wiggles2703:
Guys I have a huge problem TWRP starts just please help me!

Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RastHacker:
Don't understand what happend
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Wiggles2703:
If I make the phone now comes on only TWRP
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] michaelyogi:
if you want to get rid of the TWRP just use the sp flash tools and install only the stock recovery.

Make sure the phone is OFF before you plug it
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RastHacker:
You may need to format data and dalvik, all apps and data will be removed.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tischbein:
Got the same problem. I tried to remove Magisk and root and make the OTA update. Ended up in bootloop to TWRP.

I had to flash the ROM like [MENTION=6092280]michaelyogi[/MENTION] described here although I flashed boot- and recovery-image from [MENTION=2637197]MiKE431[/MENTION] before to get rid of TWRP.

It ended somehow in a "no OS"-message and even restoring a TWRP-backup didn't do the thing.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tischbein:
Busybox gained

Well, just realized that at least AdAway and Titanium Backup don't like this version of BusyBox, they try to tell me that I'm not rooted. Will investigate further
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tischbein:
Are you able ti install Xposed? There is an IMEI-changer available.

Otherwise there is a tutorial for Umidigi-devices, but I think it will work for the Mars pro as well: http://community.umidigi.com/thread-1375-1-1.html

It's a little crazy!!

Englisch

So my new friends;)

It was the days something crazy everything.

I have the ROMs offered to [MENTION=598894]Tischbein[/MENTION] me leg!

Partly with success I could have cried. Because I wanted to take a cell phone in everyday life as well.

I don't know where I Twrp installed but it's always back there no matter how I do it! have taken ROMs from Needrom these also work somehow. But I just don't get Twrp away and the IMEI I get is not changed anymore. (See pictures)

I think I used to play TWRP on a partion where she's not supposed to be! and the ROM which is now on it I don't get rooted so I can not change my imei either. Would say stupid run!

I have ordered the phone again and this I will use for tutorials and who knows maybe you get that kind of running again!

Thank you for your help

So meine neuen Freunde ;)

Es war die Tage etwas verrückt alles.

Ich habe die Roms die mir [MENTION=598894]Tischbein[/MENTION] angeboten ausprobiert!

Teilweise mit Erfolg teilweise hätte ich weinen können. Da ich das Handy ja auch eigentlich im Alltag nehmen wollte.

Ich weiß nicht wo ich Twrp installiert habe aber es ist immer wieder da egal wie ich es mache! Habe Roms von Needrom genommen diese funktionieren auch irgendwie. Aber ich bekomme Twrp einfach nicht weg und die Imei bekomm ich nicht mehr geändert.(siehe Bilder)

Ich denke mir mal ich habe Twrp auf eine Partion gespielt wo sie eigentlich nicht hin soll!Und die Rom die jetzt drauf ist bekomm ich nicht mehr gerootet somit kann ich auch meine Imei nicht ändern. Würde sagen dumm gelaufen!

Ich hab mir das Telefon nochmal bestellt und dieses werde ich für Tutorials nutzen und wer weiß vielleicht bekommt man das ja irgendwie wieder zum laufen!

Danke für eure Hilfe

New update

release date 2017-09-07

1- Optimized the system apks

2-optimized the photos taking problem

3- Optimized the system stabilization

size 55.65MB

Since I am now rooted I cant install the update

Official full rom

http://www.vernee.cc/products/marspro/rom/

I went back through SPTool to official August rom in order to receive the update. I received the update but after installation the device remained on official Aug ROM

Flashed also complete Sept ROM through local update but in vane.

I am stuck with Aug ROM.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] michaelyogi:
This is not the root's problem, i was unrooted on Aug 15 updated Rom, applied the update OTA and i was still on the 15 Aug rom.

I applied the update via sp flash tools and again i was still on the same rom.

I did a clean intall and again, still on the same Rom.

No matter what i do it's still on the same Rom.

Vernee's updates and support SUCKS!

The only solution is ONCE AGAIN to create a flashable UPDATED rom to work with sp flash tools.

And to be honest i'm terribly bored to go through this process once again. :mad:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] LuigiTheHunter:
OKay guys,

while trying everything to get the ota with root.

I completly messed up my phone, i lost all my data hahah :D

im so f****ed. My phone had a problem before and now still, when i want to boot it just boots the recovery, not the system anymore even with restore and new flash over spflashtool.

Please help me, i know my data is lost and that it will never comeback.... :(

I need a backup of the blocks (custom / logo / recovery) ROM 20170907
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tischbein:
Okay what exactly have you done to create the flashable update?

I'm not into the whole scatter file things but in my opinion the scatter file itself shouldn't differ from the one in the OT. Will verify when I'm at home if they show differences.

So we have the full update we could acquire from vernee.cc. What have you done with it? Maybe there is a way to create a script which does your manual way automatically.

Or does someone know where the OTA-file is saved on the device? Maybe we could work with that one.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] michaelyogi:
i have a feeling that the latest official ota update is corrupted..

we need someone who has successfully updated to the latest update to verify if it's ok or not
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mermigas:

I tried the update you cannot even install it without root :eek: i noticed.
