[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] crazyates:
My 5x crapped out on me today, and neither Google nor Lg will replace it, so I'm looking for a new Fi phone. I'm very interested in this device, as I don't want to spend a fortune on a Pixel, nor do I want to buy a 2 year old 5x or 6p. This is probably my first phone of choice, but I want to know how well it runs.

The CPU looks to be about the same, little better in some, little worse in others. GPU looks to be about the same, maybe a little better. You said the screen looks good, which I'm happy to hear! The remaining two things are camera quality, and battery life? I know it's got 2 cameras, but that don't tell us anything. Also, the 3,000mAh battery looks decent, but I hope the battery life is decent. Anything greater than 4 hours of SOT would be great.

Any more info you got is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] Taolefeng:
Hello crazyates,

The battery life is good, I managed to have 4h30-5h SOT with a lot of Chrome, WhatsApp, Messenger, Snapchat and so on (compare to the Honor 8 with which it was hard to have >3h SOT). I forgot to made some screenshot before charging it but here are some for 50%.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] crazyates:
That's great, thank you! 5 hours SOT would be very nice. I used to barely hit 4 hours with my 5X, and that was when the battery was good! Now I can barely get 3 hours.

The camera looks to be similar to the 5x, 12 MP and f/2.0, so as long as it's not any worse, I'd be happy!
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] TurboBot247:
Speaking of, how good is the camera on this Moto X4 (photo and video)? I'm really considering one since I plan to switch to Project Fi, and the camera will likely be the deciding factor of whether I buy one of these or whether I shell out $250 more for a Pixel 2...
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] crazyates:
+1

This is the biggest unknown for me as well. There's not much different in the specs between all the cameras, but the DSP/ISP are be different.

Pixel 2:

12.2 MP

f/1.8

1.4um pixel size

Spectra 180 (Hexagon 682) DSP

Moto X4:

12.0 MP

f/2.0

1.4um pixel size

Spectra 160 (Hexagon 642) DSP

From what I can tell, the biggest difference between the Spectra 180 and 160 is a higher image count (32MP vs 24MP (or dual 16MP vs dual 12MP)), and support for HVX, which may or may not speed up the camera processing. I'm not quite sure, so someone more knowledgeable than me will probably know more. The Pixel may be able to support faster image processing, which is what enables them to collect 10 images at once for better HDR+, but I'm not sure how much of their software will trickle down to the X4.

Either way, I don't expect it to take BAD pictures; I'm just not sure how great they will be.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] crazyates:
Check here for sample pics from the Android One X4. Camera looks adequate, but not spectacular...

This is my current issue as I'm trying to roll back to stock but I can't get into twrp. Phone boots up and operates fine but twrp is stuck on splash screen and my pc gives me code 43 and then 45 . Tried different cables and will try another pc.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] sandeep_kumar:
Are you able to go to fastboot mode with unlocked bootloader, if yes then you can flash TWRP because if fastboot commands are working properly, then what is the problem. I did not understand.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Morghan:
The PC fails to recognize the device giving code 43 and then the device disconnects after malfunctioning according to Windows. I can get into fastboot but multiple PC's won't recognize the device. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling new drivers no luck.

LG G5 RS988 (USA Carrier-Unlocked)​

Important: This is for the LG G5 RS988 (US Carrier-Unlocked) model only!

This thread provides flashable ZIP files that can be installed via recovery on your RS988. Along with the ZIPs, I have also posted the raw .IMG files. Please read all directions before you attempt to flash any ZIP or IMG file.

21b:

21c:

21d:

Installation Directions:

If another update rolls out to this model (Oreo maybe?), please let me know by posting in this thread. Along with the heads-up, it would be useful to provide me with some information, such as a screenshot of the update summary. I would be happy to compile those files into a working flashable ZIP as well.

Enjoy the stock files! :):good:

If you enjoyed this thread/it helped you, be sure to give this thread a like!
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] bulletfodder:
So glad you posted these. Bricked my RS988 trying to install Xposed, and was going crazy trying to find an image for recovery.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Unscedeo:
No problem!

Just out of curiosity, how did the flashing the recovery.img go? I tested it on my device, but just want to get results from a different device.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] bulletfodder:
I didn't flash yours :o

I downloaded the 21a and took the OTA updates. I saw your thread right as I finished my downloads. I will be downloading your .zip tonight thought. (DSL means I have to be extremely bandwidth conscious, with 5 people using a 4mb connection).

In related news, the OTA updates from 21a -> 21b don't seem to have replaced TWRP. That's good. :good:

edit: 21b -> 21c replaced TWRP with the stock recovery. grumble grumble.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ColinShots:
Any chance you can do this for 21b? I need the stock recovery (and possibly boot) to take the ota from 21b to 21c (rather than wiping and flashing this). Thanks for any help.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] satukoro:
Is it possible to install this using LGUP for my RS988? I can't receive the 11d OTA in order to unlock the bootloader because my carrier never pushed it.

Can you ensure that Asgard kernel 7.0 working in that 21c version or please mention and share the link if we can use other kernel?

Thanks in advance.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Unscedeo:
Asgard 7.0 does work with this version of the ROM. However, I (and a lot of other users) have run in to a few problems, including random bootloops and freezing.

I am not aware of any other kernels available for our model (RS988).
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] izzyb027:
Hey guys I believe yesterday a new firmware dropped for the rs988, version RS98821d, I think it is mostly just Android security updates, but I'm wondering if anyone would be able to post the kdz or tot image for it?

Thanks for the update [MENTION=8709783]izzyb027[/MENTION]. I'll try to post some flashable 21d files either in this thread or in a new one.

[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] AdamDG:
Is there any chance somebody can find/post a KDZ for this release (or anything beyond 11c)? That seems to be about the only thing I can do with my phone that is otherwise stuck on 11c. I can't get into the boot loader to even install TWRP, but I can get into download mode and use LG UP.

I have the same problem, w neeed the KDZ file for LG RS98821c. not flashables files because the phone is bricked!
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] AdamDG:
I wish I had a KDZ for anything past 11c. That would likely solve all my problems, although it's still odd that I can't seem to get into the boot loader.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Unscedeo:
Update and IMPORTANT NOTE

Hello RS988 users,

This is just a quick update about the upload of the new

21d

firmware. I have extracted the .IMG files and am currently compiling them into a flashable ZIP.

Also important note: The

21c

COMPLETE zip that I have posted is not technically "complete", because it does not include the files for the bootloader and the persist partition. I apologize for this (this is my first time making a ROM, even though its just stock :D). I will be taking down the files that I have uploaded to Android File Host, and uploading the true "complete" zip, with the bootloader and all other necessary files.

I will also be uploading

21b

!

I will make a post once I have updated this thread.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Unscedeo:
Newest Versions Released!

Flashable ZIPs and raw IMGs for versions 21b, 21c, and the newest 21d have been posted!

The ZIPs are now truly "complete" since they include all the needed partitions, such as the bootloader and others. I apologize (to [MENTION=5090002]wolfu11[/MENTION] and others) for claiming that the previous ZIPs were "complete". I did not fully know how to extract and compile them at the time. Everything should be alright now!

Enjoy! :laugh:

Need help

I have rs988 and unlocked bootloader, I have installed twrp and when I flash rom - all ok, but after phone turns on after few sec phone keeps rebooting. Any idea for fix ?

Thanks for any help
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] monza1412:
You mean it's in a bootloop?

Which version of the rom did you flash?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] topic32:
Yes. it's in bootloop. I tried to flash 21d.

Wipe and clean all, reinstall rom but when phone turn on after few second it cotinus rebooting....

Now I managed to flash RS98810h.kdz with LGUP and it works, But still I can't install 21d
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] monza1412:
glad you could somehow sort it out. It appears that the RS98810h.kdz rom is for the RS Brighthouse/Brightpoint variant, are you sure you don't have that variant of the phone?

The files listed by the OP are for the Carrier Free LG G5, that could be the sole reason of the bootloop when you flashed the 21d file.

Does somebody tell the CORRECT way how to put the firmware???

I suppose only without root and from stock recovery - am I right?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Unscedeo:
To install the firmware, you need a custom recovery, like TWRP. NOT the stock recovery. Keep in mind you don't need root to have a custom recovery.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] GNAzi:
For example me:

I use c-version: rooted stock and installed TWRP

Should I:

1) unroot

2) download *.zip file and put to internal memory

3) reboot to TWRP recovery and just flash - or wipe before flashing(what should I wipe in this case)?

Will I be able to save my apps and data or should I save it on my laptop before flashing?

What about the new radio - does it work better than C-version radio?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Unscedeo:
All you have to do is reboot into TWRP recovery, and flash. You can wipe if you want to. There are no other steps needed.

If you dirty flash (flash without wiping), your apps and data should be saved, but some system settings will be lost.

Not really sure if there is a difference in terms of radio between 21c and 21d.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] GNAzi:
so what will be better?

Will I lose all my SMS after dirty flashing?

What about unrooting before flashing?

May I make the backup and use it if I will not like the updated system?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] GNAzi:
nobody uses RS988? Or all the people who use it so stupid for rooting, flashing etc.?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Unscedeo:
Lots of people use the RS988 model. And don't assume that everyone wants to root their phone. Just because they don't root doesn't make them stupid.

You could backup your data using Titanium Backup, and if you want to specially back up SMS, there are plenty of apps on the Play Store that do that.

Though flashing this is safe, you can make a backup in case.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] GNAzi:
I know how to do a backup. Titanium is ****, I use another app all the time since I started to use Android devices.

My questions were not about it.

Will I lose all my SMS after dirty flashing?

What about unrooting before flashing?

May I

make the backup and use it

if I will not like the updated system? It means will it works properly after restore?

[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] mattintoronto:
I have seen this problem with other android models. Are you perhaps leaving the unit plugged in when doing the reboot after flashing? Weirdly it may cause this effect in some models. So my suggestion is to boot into recovery, flash, and then make sure the cable is disconnected before rebooting to system. Obviously make sure the battery is charged enough first though! Hope this helps.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] cqwangding:
I have the same issue. Anyway to solve it?

---------- Post added at 07:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 PM ----------

Tried flash 21d rom from twrp and then keep boot in twrp. Then I tried flash Resurrection Remix rom from twrp, the issue remained.

The problem can be solved by fastboot erase. I erased boot and recovery and reflashed twrp, now I flashed the Resurrection Remix rom and it works again.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] cqwangding:
Finally got 21d with magisk/supersu works.

Used to have twrp with Resurrection Remix but not fully satisfied. Then flash 21d and magisk with twrp, then my phone keep booting in twrp. Do not know why and some other users report same issue.

The issue can be solved by fastboot erase boot. Then I redo the steps of flash 21d and then magisk, this time everything works.

note: do not boot your phone system after you flash twrp, the stock rom will erase twrp. I am not sure if you can turn off your phone in fastboot mode, I did not find a way and I just pull out the battery.

yeah!!
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] totalnoob34:
Ok. You've flashed a KDZ, now try booting to recovery using the volume/power key combination. That should perform a factory reset, wipe the device, and let it boot.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] LuisAngelGH:
I already did that. The phone reboot a least 3 times after the LG logo, and next the display shows as next video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSkb-0lK0k8&feature=youtu.be
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] totalnoob34:
So it promoter you to wipe all data, and you had to select 'yes'?

If so, I'd try downloading a fresh KDZ, and starting over. You were right, there isn't any KDZ in this thread. I believe lg-firmwares is the place to find them, somebody discussed this issue some posts back.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] monza1412:
The file you flashed is for the LG RS988 Brightpoint version, I'm afraid that there isn't any nougat .kdz file for the unlocked RS988 yet.

If you are certain that your phone is the carrier-free version, then you could try to downgrade to marshmallow and then take the OTA to nougat or flash the zip files in this thread via TWRP but I'm not sure if you can downgrade with the bootloader locked, you should ask in one of these threads.
