Welcome. You're kinda late but better late than never... :) Stock Oreo is rock solid rooted with a custom kernel (EX). Super SU has always worked well for me.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xterminater07:
Please walk me thru this process if possible. There is not a stable oreo rom or lineagos right? So maybe flashing the kernel on stock oreo is good? I'm trying to maximize battery life while keeping hdr+
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
Eventually there will be but not at the moment. I'm using the stock ROM rooted and EX kernel. Just install TWRP and then place the SU and EX zipfiles in the root folder, use TWRP to flash SU first and then EX. With all default settings EX kernel will definitely improve your battery. Good luck.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xterminater07:
Ok i will look on how to root. Hows franco kernel vs ex kernel?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abdulaziz6p:
Both good. but i prefer elementalX for so many reasons...

Franco is what it say " Flash & forget " just install it and forget it , Good battery without affect the Performance.

usually I switch between those kernels

Hi all. I'm writing because I didn't find anything useful to me.

My LG is stuck on Firmware Update screen:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2dMoe8S9yx4VGNkR1VtMjVRdkU/view?usp=sharing

(below there are "633A B88 // Modified).

All began when I wanted to re-lock the bootloader. So, I read somewhere that I could do it with fastboot oem lock. I did it and the result was that the bootloader was re-locked. So I rebooted my phone and it stuck at

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2dMoe8S9yx4dDR5cDFQT0RIZ2c/view?usp=sharing

and there wasn't "may not work properly" but "it will not boot". So, I entered to download mode and I tried to flash with LGUP V20G kdz (I was on 29A but it's zipped). When it arrived at about 24% it stopped with error 0x2000 (but phone was identified). After this I rebooted my LG and I can access only to download mode. When I turn on the phone there isn't anymore "Your device is corrupt, etc.", directly to download mode. I tried to enter to download mode and recovery mode (but stock can only reset), so if someone knows others hardware button combinations to get other modes, please tell me.

I hope someone can help me, obviously not service.

Thank you in advance.

:)

P. S. Sorry for my bad English

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popetto:
Unfortunately didn't work for me. Thank you anyway.

I fixed in this way:

- go to https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73493577&postcount=78 and download attached file. It contains two DLL that you'll put in C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\8994 (deleting other DLL file). Don't worry if they are two DLLs and not one. Then, when you open LGUP you must flash (UPGRADE mode) H81520p firmware (that you can download here: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G4/H815/). Then wait and your phone should revive, like mine. I hope it'll work for you as worked for me.

Obvioulsy you must have H815 version (not variant) to do this.

EDIT:

This dll works also for H818P

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptorddd:
its the same file... same procedure.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popetto:
Same procedure but not same file: in the solution I linked and I used there are two DLLs (and I can see the difference on LGUP, that says "DLL version 0.4.0.0"); instead, in your solution (that I tried before using the one I linked), there's only a DLL and, if I'm not wrong, its version is 0.3.3.23 or something similar. Anyway, it's not a problem, I said it without any aim.

As the title says, this video popped up in my YouTube feed:

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Yeah, baby.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tinkerer_:
You can kiss the IP68 water resistance goodbye after opening the phone up. Whether you use a razor like he did, or just pry it open.

Smartphones have become disposable devices with a two year design life. The two year life is determined by the Li-Ion useful life regardless of charge/discharge history. The increasing proportion of phones with IP68 is probably at least partly related to that, because the way to reliably get IP68 is with mastic goop sealing and bonding the perimeter interface between the two enclosure halves, and that goop is a one-time seal, once pried apart it is no longer a reliable seal if reassembled - but this is an acceptable trade-off if the device is a disposable thing good only for a couple years anyway.

So the teardown is interesting, but I don't think we will need to follow the video steps to do it ourselves, unless we don't care about water resistance. (Good luck with your business, Jerry Rig.)

(I'm waiting for someone to bring up the issue of battery replacement...:)

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] 20degrees:
I'm more interested in him testing the phones durability.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
As they say, "Don't try this at home", "For educational purposes only".

Most people would not be doing this themselves, but it's helpful to know that many of the components can be easily replaced if the phone needs repair. Some phones are made so that you can't get to various parts without further damaging the phone... This LG V30 seems to be very compartmentalized and easily repairable.

Since I plan on unlocking my bootloader and rooting, here in the U.S. I am kissing the warranty goodbye. At that point if something needs repair, thanks to this video I now know a trustworthy repair service can probably do it instead of me having to buy another new phone? This video alone is great instruction for people who repair phones professionally.

If the phone needs repair (and I have no warranty), yeah I understand I am forgoing IP68.

Still it's very funny Apple can only do IP67 even after removing the 3.5mm headset jack, but both LG and Samsung have IP68 WITH a headset jack. ;)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tinkerer_:
The warranty is not the issue here IMHO. The warranty is likely waived by unlocking the bootloader, and remember this is a two year device anyway. I have shoes that last longer.

Nor does the warranty prevent failure. It is just a mop and bucket to clean up the mess after the fact, and it does a poor job of that, it comes nowhere near to fully compensating the customer for the total cost of failure.

The important thing, to me, then, is preventing failure in the first place. So I want IP68 and other environmental robustness. That is lost when the phone is opened and reassembled.

Two year device, not worth opening up to repair. Just budget $30 a month and move on. You'll want the new model in two years anyway. :)

(Still waiting on someone to bring up battery replacement...)

...
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
I guess you didn't actually read my post. I plainly said the warranty in U.S. was waived when unlocking the bootloader. No need to repeat what I plainly stated when you quoted my post. I plan on immediately voiding my warranty.

So repair with no warranty IS the very issue we are discussing.

You seem to be ignoring the fact that someone might need a repair and have no warranty. If the choice is between a $100 repair (and losing IP68) or $600-$700 for another new LG V30 (where again I would void the warranty immediately), I would probably take the $100 repair.

I also said I would only have someone do this if I needed the phone REPAIRED instead of me spending another $700 or so for a NEW phone. I'm not going to be opening the phone just for fun. I wouldn't be doing it anyway, I would take it to a repair service that hopefully would be using this excellent video are a reference! Since I would be losing IP68, the it would be because of the choice between reasonable cost repair and paying several hundred dollars for a new phone.

I'm not sure why you keep repeating this is a "two year device". That makes no sense. People keep their phones for as long as they want them. Since Androids came out, my wife and I have kept phones for a variety of time. 12 months, 18 months, even up to 3 years -- depending on when we wanted to upgrade. I've never had a carrier "contract" so "2-year" phones is nonsensical concept. I pay for my phones in full, immediately unlock bootloader and root them. I keep them until I find something better that ticks off on the checkboxes on my personal "must have" list.

After buying the LG V30 this year, I may decide I want the 2018 LG V40 next year if it does something absolutely fantastic this phone can't do. (For instance, if LG included front-facing stereo speakers?) I may only keep this phone for a year -- or I may keep it for 3 years like I did my 2014 Moto XT1225 (the 5.2" version of the Moto Nexus 6). In 2015 I won a FREE LG G4 through an AT&T release contest, but sold it on eBay because it wasn't really any better than my Moto XT1225 (1440p AMOLED, 3GB RAM, 64GB internal memory, Qi wireless charging, 21MP camera, 3900 mAh battery). In fact, only this year in 2017 have phones appeared which really eclipse that phone.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tinkerer_:
Wow.

I read your post, dude. I had a reason to address the warranty as part of something I'm illuminating, not to restate your post.

My point is: Even talking about warranty is irrelevant, not just because we void it by unlocking bootloader but also because this is a very short-lived device at best. The important thing is preventing failure for 2 years - the phone is only good for two years anyway because the battery is down to only 2/3 original fresh capacity by then anyway at best. That's the hard reality.

The great majority of phones last at least the first year (warranty). The second year of the two year design life is just icing on the cake, if the phone lasts that long.

Diminishing returns dominate quickly, with phone repairs. Between things like degrading the phone reliability (e.g. the IP68 destruction), the painstaking hours spent gathering info and obtaining parts plus the surgery itself, mostly sub-par retail replacement parts, and the lack of good replacement batteries in the retail market, it is a waste of resources. In my humble opinion, having learned the hard way.

But have fun with that. :)

These have become pricey throwaway devices with a two year design life.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Ah you aren't saying anything you haven't already said a dozen times. :p

2 years

2 years

2 years

2 years

2 years

2 years

2 years

2 years

Not sure why you seem to be obsessed with that number? I clearly explained I keep my phones for as long as I want -- as do many people on XDA-- so your artificial timeline has no relevance to me.

Yet, you seem to be totally ignoring the real point of discussion that someone may NEED NEED NEED NEED a repair SOMETIME (2 months, 6 months, 18 month, maybe even 3 years from now) WITHOUT a warranty (because they unlocked their bootloader) and and a $100 repair is much better than a new $700-$800 phone replacement -- unless the LG V30 price has dropped considerably by the time the repair is needed (who can predict either?) to cost less than a professional repair.

I will re-state again, I will NOT be doing this myself. I will take it to professional repair service if needed. So, there will be no "painstaking hours spent gathering info and obtaining parts"

How is it a "waste of resources" to spend $100 to bring a phone back to life than $700 for a new replacement phone? You aren't making any sense. If the repair to bring the phone back to life costs as much or more than a new replacement phone, then yeah I would forgo the repair and buy a new phone.

Here, read this again? Because I've made all these points and you seem to be grasping at something not even being discussed -- that someone would do this themselves, for fun or something I have specifically ruled out that scenario and you keep bringing it up.

I love to discuss stuff like this, but you have to bring something new to the discussion. I've addressed your one or two points over and over and showed their fallacy, and you have not rebutted in any way. You just keep repeating "two year" and "losing IP68", which I've addressed.

Unless you explain how a $100 repair that is NEEDED is better than paying several hundred dollars for a new replacement phone, and how at that point IP68 is USELESS without the repair (because the phone isn't working), there's really nothing else to say. I've said over and over losing IP68 would be a tradeoff to have a working phone at a reasonable repair cost rather than paying much more for a new replacement phone until I am ready to upgrade to a new phone on my own terms.

Other than that, I think the YouTube video is excellent educational instruction for professional cell phone repair companies. I hope if I NEED a repair, the service I go to has watched it over and over. :)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Septfox:
I don't really want to get involved in your guys' spat, just want to comment on the two-year thing and waterproofing.

First, two years. Admittedly a lot can happen in two years - just look at the difference in phones between 2012 and 2014 - but assuming that the phone will be outdated to the point where you feel forced to upgrade is silly.

Snapdragons these days are pretty strong SoCs. If we were talking about something equipped with an SD801 or 805, I'd say yea, it's getting long in the tooth. Even the 808 and 810 were infamously poor performers in both heat and IPC. But the SD821 and up are vastly better efforts than early 800-series SoCs are. IPC, heat, power-saving features, bandwidth, everything. I can see the 835 easily lasting more than two years, particularly if it's future-proofed with the new radio.

I also find the claim that the battery will be dead and gone in two years, flawed. Battery technology has been creeping along for a decade now, but it is getting better. Further, and more importantly, our understanding of how to use it is getting better and better. Samsung claims that after a year, their batteries retain 95% of their original capacity; the g6 and now v30 are using some company or another's monitoring technology to achieve what's likely the same effect.

As an aside, I'm using a Droid Turbo with its original battery, dated 2015 01 05. No matter how you look at that, it's over two years old. I've lost about 15% total capacity, and this after many full 100% - <15% cycles, beating on the battery with constant heavy loads, and repeatedly heating it to uncomfortable levels while gaming with the CPU throttling increased to max specs.

Inevitably, of course, you'll have to open the phone up and replace the battery if you want to keep using it. So what? It's not as if the OEM is the only one with access to waterproofing sealant.

Go down to your local auto parts store and buy a tube of RTV "gasket maker". Clean the mating surfaces of any skin oils, then run a bead of it where the original sealant was, stick the back panel back on, and set a book on top of it overnight. Trim the excess sealant off come morning. Boom, basic waterproofing, definitely enough for rain use and the occasional shower or drop in the toilet or what-have-you.

If that's not good enough for you, there are stronger adhesives available, I'm just using this as a cheap, accessible example. People seem to think the original sealant is made of magical water-disintegrating pixie dust, but in reality it's probably just various grades of silicon sealant.

30 minutes swapping a new battery into a device that's otherwise working perfectly fine seems worthwhile to me, especially if retaining water resistance is a non-issue.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Thank you. All great points.

Not really a spat, just an effort to get him to move beyond faulty assumptions -- which I addressed in both the first and second and then third posts because he refused to actually read the content, instead just repeating "two years, two years!" "Lose IP68!"

I am almost to the 3 year mark on my Moto XT1225. Will be three years by the time I get my carrier unlocked LG V30, probably in December... And my current phone doesn't have IP68. NONE of my phones have had it. My wife is also using a 2014 Moto XT1225, but she's at the 2.5 year mark of use. Still 2.5 years WITHOUT IP68. So there. Both points negated.

While I am looking forward to IP68 -- very neat -- my wife and I have had Android phones since 2011 without it. If I had to choose a reasonable cost repair ($100?) vs several hundred dollars for a new replacement phone, losing IP68 to get the phone running again would be the least of my concerns. ;)

And as you pointed out, a professional repair shop sealing it back up should do a decent job.

I sure won't be doing any repairs, I'll leave that to someone who does it for a living! Back in 2013, I had to take my LG Nexus 5 apart one time, just hours after I got it because the SIM card got jammed. Never again! That was some scary stuff.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] mZimm:
I have purchased many screen protectors from cheap sites as well as expensive ones. My favorites are the ones from InvisibleShield. They are a bit more expensive, but they are very precisely cut and last a long time. If they ever get scratched you can get them replaced for free as well. I have not tried BodyGuardz, however, which are the same price, but you get two instead of one in the package.

I like the Boxwave Cleartouch a lot.

If you are anything like me, buy the three pack because you'll probably mess up at least one putting it on. While they say you can wash and reuse them, I don't think it's worth it.

That and a can of compressed air to blow the dust off before you put it on and you should be good.

Side note about using a compressed air can - don't use the straw. I had it blow off directly at my screen and thought my screen was permanently damaged. Thankfully, I had been using the screen protector that came with the tilt which has a bit of adhesive on it, so I only "scratched" the adhesive.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Edvard_Greig:
I have one of the InvisibleShield HD ones on mine, it is really crisp/clear, doesn't really show fingerprints at all, and its been on my phone for a few months now, and still looks like new.

The only thing I'm not sure of, is that it seems like it may reduce some of the sensitivity of the touchscreen because it is thicker, YMMV though.

I also have the bodyguardz themselves on too, and I'm not nearly as impressed, I'm probably going to pick up one of the Seidio slim rubberdized cases, just trying to spread out the accessory cost right now :-)

My first windows mobile device was in 2002 and i tried every cover for it. From cheap ones to a couple of the more expensive ones. One of which was the PocketPCTECHS writeshield protector.

I bought the double pack, which came with the Antiglare one, and the Crystal Clear one. I applied the Crystal Clear one and it was amazing... i never used the anti-glare till i got my next device and threw it on that one.

They are very durable, can barely tell they're there and are just amazing...

But for my kaiser, i just ordered the invisibleshield for the entire device so i thought, why not let me try their screen protector out and see how it holds up.

so till i try out the invisibleshield, i'm still recommending pocketpctechs.
