I think I have found the solution for my case.

I wiped everything except internal. Installed 21d and magisk from internal, not rebooting I wiped the data by choosing right button (not advanced wipe).

Pressed reboot system. But phone still rebooted to twrp but with prompt to modify system partition. I denied.

Pressed reboot to system again. It rebooted to twrp again. I turned the phone off from twrp menu.

Then I held vol down and power, released and pressed power on the logo and answered twice yes (as for the procedure to enter twrp).

I'm in twrp again. I press reboot to system. AND ONLY NOW phone reboots and starts updating Android.

There I am in Android again.

FFS THIS ALL WAS HORRIFYING!
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] NextDroid:
Looks like you found your solution. Congrats on getting your device back :good:

Does anyone have access to RS98821c tot I look every where and can't locate it I do not need img or zip just the tot I need to unbrick this RS988, it has to be 21c ??
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] JT man:
Anyone??
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Unscedeo:
Sorry for the late response, but I don't have a .tot. However I might, if I get time, extract a .KDZ file for 21d (and possibly others).
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] JT man:
yes please if you can cause the device is semi brick and at this point the only thing that can work is a tot or kdz 21c thanks

[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] djskribbles:
Maybe a dumb question, but when LG finally releases Oreo for our device, will we receive the OTA update with this installed? I flashed back to this after testing a few custom roms, but missed the stock camera and flashed back using this (btw, thanks [MENTION=7723556]Unscedeo[/MENTION]).
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Unscedeo:
Glad to help.

Unless you kept the stock bootloader and didn't replace it with TWRP, you won't be able to update using the OTA. However, I will be posting the Oreo ZIP for the RS988 when it gets released, so stay tuned. You might be able to dirty flash the ZIP, but I wouldn't count on it working.

When Oreo does get released, just give a heads-up and I'll post it shortly.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] penguinjoe:
flashable zips are fine but when you phone is bricked and stuck on the download mode, you don't have access to twrp or even the stock recovery. You need an appropriate .KDZ file that will flash via LGUP and possibly uppercut.

The KDZ file is apparently MIA and can't be found no matter how hard I google for it but you seem to have one that you extracted those .img files from.

Several folks here have asked, so I am going to add my voice here:

Can you PLEASE post the link to the original KDZ for those of us that have bricked phones? Please?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Unscedeo:
I'm sorry about your situation. I'm not sure if I already said it before, but I'll say it anyways - There is no KDZ.

All of these images were extracted from a live, working system. I extracted them using ADB through recovery. I then compiled these images into a flashable file. That's all.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] penguinjoe:
ok. Thanks for the response.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] UsualNoise:
Quick question - I have been referencing this helpful thread to get things ready to upgrade my LG G5 RS988. Currently it is on RS98810h and I have the 21a .zip file downloaded and ready to go. I'm mainly wondering if it is safe to go directly from stock 10h to stock 21a using modified LGUp as described in that thread.

Alternatively, would it be safe to go from 10h to the 21d ROM found at the beginning of this thread? Is there any advantage to staying on a specific version if I decide to root in the future? Thanks for any recommendations!

Also wanted to mention: the instructions in this thread indicate using TWRP, but I only have the stock download mode as I haven't modified anything. Is that still OK to use for upgrading?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] mhajii210:
Hi guys. At least once a day I take my phone out of my left pocket and the fingerprint reader doesn't work. I have to press the power button and then it works perfectly fine until the next time. I always put the phone in my pocket without anything else. Anyone else getting the same bug???
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] crawldit:
Same bug here. Only happens after the phone has been in my pocket for awhile.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] mhajii210:
Did you find anything that helps? I'm on my second device and it too has the same fingerprint reader glitch.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] crawldit:
A single press of the power switch does the trick, like you said. I don't have any other solution. I'm surprised more people haven't mentioned this considering most people carry their phones in their pockets.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] mhajii210:
https://www.reddit.com/r/essential/comments/709dph/ph1_issues/

I found a few other users reporting it, but it doesn't seem to be widespread. My guess is somehow the friction created in the pocket is messing up the fingerprint scanner.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] mhajii210:
Display side facing towards leg

I searched the web and there seem to be many different phones with this problem. One suggestion was to put the phone in the pocket with the display side facing towards the thigh. I'm going to try that suggestion and see if it works. I would highly recommend you give that a try too. Since it never glitches when I have it sitting on my desk, there is something weird going on in the pocket.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] JCBomb:
Anything metal in your pocket?

The pins affect the fingerprint reader.

Support told me it's normal and to not put my phone on a metal surface if it bothers me so much.

-_-
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] mhajii210:
I have no metal in my pocket. So far putting the phone with the display side towards my leg in the pocket seems to be working (knock on wood). Normally by now it would have acted up. It's crazy but somehow putting it in my pocket with the fingerprint reader facing towards my leg has the same effect as putting the device on a metal surface. Maybe I'm a cyborg and nobody told me???
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] swagglepuff:
Define doesn't work. It knows that you are pressing it but makes you enter your passcode. Or it doesn't register at touch at all. Sometimes mine after being in my pocket will have me enter my password. I haven't experienced an issue where it doesn't register a touch.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] mhajii210:
It's crazy but putting the phone in my pocket with the display facing my leg has solved my problem. By "doesn't work" I mean it's completely dead. The fingerprint sensor wasn't detecting my finger (no vibration). It's the same exact thing that happens if you put the phone down on a metal surface, but obviously I don't have any metal in my pocket.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] swagglepuff:
Interesting, I haven't experienced that issue. Maybe I will face my screen out in my pocket and see if I can recreate this on my device.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] liquidDroid:
My finger print reader won't unlock my phone now. It was working fine until yesterday. I tried restarting, turning it off but nothing seems to work.

It won't let me add another fingerprint either. I get some type is cryptic error message.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] aldoe00:
I'm also noticing fingerprint problems. I'm seeing both unresponsive (not registering anything) an also failed attempts (vibrates but does not unlock). This seems to happen randomly about once a day.

---------- Post added at 02:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 PM ----------

Side note:. I just tried to add my another fingerprint to the phone, and upon the first press on the reader I'm getting "enrollment not complete" every time I try to add.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] sd_shadow:
I've been having issues with fingerprint reader also.

Says "finger moved too fast"

or "couldn't process, please try again"

I factory reset the phone, and it worked ok, for about 24 hours.

Hasn't been a problem on my Pixel
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] okgnew:
I also have problem with fingerprint.

It does not detect my finger 50% of the time (no vibration and if the screen is on I get message "couldn't process fingerprint, please try again").

Factory reset didn't help.

Is it a faulty hardware?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] karier13:
I have had mine for almost 3 weeks and I never put it in my pocket. It is either in my holster on my belt at work or in my purse. Many times it does not work. Even laying on the table by my chair it doesn't work. My 2 year old Nexus 6P worked perfect every time. Getting to be a pain.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] stinger4321:
Odd.. mine works great.. first time setting it up on a phone and am so impressed how quick it works.. how did you set it up.. i retrained mine after noticing that i only placed a part of my finger on the sensor sometimes.. after that it was great.. added another finger after so both hands could unlock..
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] karier13:
I came from the Nexus 6P which worked flawlessly each and every time. I set this one up the same way but the PH 1 takes a few times to accept the finger prints when setting it up. And does not always work every time. I have set up two first fingers and neither of them work but about half the time. I am hoping an update will fix that.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] __Mayhem_:
Long time reader first time poster.

A couple phone carriers have unlimited 4G device data. As in it will never throttle. I work from my laptop a lot and was bummed to hear that it's only 8 gigs of hotspot data. Yeats ago I paid for a full version of Foxfi and I was wondering if any body knows if usb tether uses hot spot or device data.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rbade:
All of the sudden I have data on the page that has a little Wi-Fi icon with AT&T next to it. Then, underneath is a row that says:

Wi-Fi: Off (bluetooth symbol): Off

When I click on any portion if it it opens Comm Mgr. I have no idea where it came from or how to get rid if it. How do I take a snapshot of my screen? I can post it if no one recognizes the symptoms.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sahoopes:
It is the wireless today plugin. Go to Settings, Today, select the Items tab. From there you can turn on (check) or turn off (uncheck) the plugin. Uncheck it and it will disappear from your today screen.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rbade:
Thank you very much.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] jaredtritsch:
WiFi calling is great, and I use it a lot (I have it set to prefer WiFi), but the unclearable notification and the constant icon, especially on the always-on screen is annoying as crap.

Is there any way to hide/kill this notification without root (since we don't have one yet)?

I have tried a few apps on the store, including systemUI Tuner to no avail.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] ichardy:
I had the same problem so I just turned mine off
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] pete4k:
You could probably block notification permission for wifi calling in settings/apps menu, but personally I like the icon to show up, it's the easiest way for me to see if I'm on wifi and if I have a problem, when I should be and I'm not, especially when I'm ready to download some 2 GB update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] jaredtritsch:
This isnt the "on wifi" icon. There is a separate icon on the left side for specifically Wifi Calling. No options to block notification permissions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] pete4k:
Maybe we have different phones: On my phone under wifi calling/ app notification / on lock screen I have 3 options: show content, hide content and do not show notifications. I'm at work now, no wifi calling, so can't test it, but I suspect if you choose "do not show notifications" will get rid of the wifi calling icon. I have wifi on at all times, I could be at home within wifi range and still drop connection somehow, wifi calling icon is the easiest to see if I'm still connected to wifi, it's usually the only icon on the left, even quick glance at the locked screen will tell me if it's on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] black96ss:
if you have adb shell, you can download an app that lets you hide and status bar notification. it's pretty simple and a great app. I have 8 but you can add up to 15 I think quick toggles at the top of my screen. the app is called systemUItuner. here are some screen shots
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] andross77:
I can confirm this is an issue. I've had most flagships of the past 3 years on T-Mobile and you can not get rid of this notification on the Note 8 per the usual route. Might have to do the abshell fix.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] black96ss:
the app I listed above works perfect after granting permission on adb....great customizing app!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] andross77:
So I just downloaded this app and tried it and doesn't work ;( I already had ADB installed for doing tweaks on my past 3 phones so I knew how to get around in CMD ;). I verified the app was working by toggling my wifi icon, bluetooth icon, mobile signal icon etc and they all disappeared and reappeared. But none of them worked for the wifi calling notification. Any tips would be appreciated :)

Other than it not doing the one thing I need it to, the app is SWEET! :) I just toggled off battery, wifi, mobile, alarm, bluetooth, etc and it looks SO CLEAN with the top empty like that except for the time :) Kudos!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] black96ss:
I never tried disabling wfi calling icon until last being I rarely use it. I'm surprised it wont disable. just dumb luck that all the icons I chose to disabled worked
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] andross77:
Yeah, it was just the entire point of this post was the annoying WiFi calling notification only on T-Mobile phones...

Cool app, just useless for this thread (unless the author updates it).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] kirschdog1:
So I just put this profile into Tasker then? Could you give instructions. Thanks again for digging into this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Edje:
You need to copy and paste that into a text file and make it into an XML file. It needs to have .prf in the name, for example "CoolestProfileEver.prf.xml". Then you need to put that file in sdcard/tasker/profiles. Then go into Tasker and long press on the "Profiles" tab and tap "Import". The file should appear in the list there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] kdel:
This works perfectly on my Note 8 that just got updated. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] komoruu:
I might be too late but an easy fix is:

Go to settings > notifications > advanced > tap on 3 dots on top right corner > show system apps > scroll down to Wi-Fi Calling > Wi-Fi Calling > importance > change to low.

And that is it for at least for versions galaxy s8 and up but im sure others would be similar.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Edje:
This works too, also just turning off Wifi Calling if you do not need it. Keep in mind this means no Wifi texting either. I have been using the AutoNotification notification blocker and it has been working for me! It is completely free and does not need root!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] hydeah:
I just got my Note 8 running 8.0.0 and I don't have "importance" option in mine.

I really hate the cluttered notification area, and if there is absolutely no easy way to disable/hide ongoing "Wifi Notification" in notification drawer, I'll have to disable it.

There is already a icon on the icon bar/tray, why do we need to have an ongoing notification in addition to that?

Mine looks like this:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] andross77:
This is what I have been searching for since I made the post! Thanks! It worked instantly on my new Galaxy Note 9. Woohoo!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] akhilnaidu7:
I'm having a similar issue. I don't see the importance option on mine.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] Zevus:
So this may be a stupid question but I'm currently trying to go back to stock and I thought I might just flash the firmware with odin. But no firmware I downloaded contained a cp file, only ap, bl and crc/crc_home. The only reasonable answer I can think of is that the Tab S3 does not need a cp file but it does have a modem, doesn't it? I'm quite confused.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vadimo:
i dont get it, majority moan and down rate Samsung for its location, i find it perfect as when i hold or pickup the phone my index finger naturally extends to the sensor

Seems like the only reviewer agreeing on this

https://youtu.be/esdpijm0BCc?t=246
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlueFox721:
I like it too...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] smackdownn:
Because it is hard to reach without changing holding position for most people. I need to hold the phone tight on both sides for my index to access the sensor but in this position I can't use my phone coz my thumb is not long enough to touch the other end of screen so everytime I have to move my hand up and down to unlock and use. The back of phone is very slippery and when my focus is somewhere else there is a chance the phone might slip and fall while unlocking if I am not careful. Pixel/6p like sensor position would've worked the best for note.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vadimo:
i guess we handle differently, i always pickup phone holding it both sides with one hand but then soon after unlock i ease the grip and start holding phone however i wish :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mcdanielvzw:
It's in the perfect place for me too. The bixby button is in a bad place personally, because I still tap it accidentally holding my phone. I just got a new bike mount for my phone and the sides hit the button too if I center the phone on the holder.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] chrispyutec:
Works great and feels natural if you hold the phone right handed, but I hold my phone left handed. Wish I held my phone in my right hand and I would be golden then.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] smackdownn:
It just worries me sometimes because it's so shiny and expensive :D. Probably wont mind after using it for a month or so. It's not a dealbreaker but I hate it when a product gets everything right except "that one thing".
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ad44891:
I have know issues with it all
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] lennie:
apparently a lot of people have small hands or no finger muscle memory......or those people seems to hold their phones all the way at the bottom to the point that their thumb is at least an inch or more below the power bottom. for small hands people if their thumb is on the power button then index finger will fall right on the fingerprint reader or for people with a bit larger hands if thumb is at the bottom or right below the power button then index finger would land right on the reader. but people hold their phones differently than others and there will always be people who complain just to complain.

coming from the v20 I find that the fingerprint reader placement on the Note 8 is actually in the perfect spot for me, its easy to reach with one hand or even if holding the phone with both hands.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Huey85:
i dont have any issues either - for a regular/medium sized hand user. fingerprint registers at least 95% of the time with no issues with reach.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pete4k:
Personally I don't even use fingerprint (face recognition works most of the time) that much and placement doesn't bother me, until I use the phone while driving, which is often. The way my phone is mounted face recognition doesn't work, fingerprint sensor is out of reach and typing passwords in heavy traffic I usually find myself in, could be hair raising. My car has BT, so it unlocks while connected , but my wife's car doesn't have BT, so have to risk accident or ticket, sometimes both. But I love my N8 and sensor is on my "could be done better, but I can live with it" list. Sometimes I ask myself why I'm locking my phone and from whom, but that's another topic.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Huey85:
I use Iris scanner primarily but later at night when I'm in bed I prefer using the fingerprint scanner so I don't blind myself or my wife who's sitting beside me in bed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
The placement is fine for me but I think it would be better if it were centered. Just so that it's as easy for left-handed ppl. Same way I would like samsung to let us turn the gear s3 screen upside down for those who like to wear their watches on the right wrist.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nuclearrage:
I have smaller hands, and it works perfect for me. In fact , now after having the phone for a few days, I can work it lefty or righty. Kinda like it better now, didn't think I would say that , but man that big unblocked screen is nice.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vash_h:
honestly i dont know.. the only time i use the fingerprint sensor is to set my fingerprint.

I also setup IRIS recognition. most of the time before i move my finger to the sensor it already detected my eyes and unlocked the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr.Ash.Man:
I had the same opinion when i had not actually used the phone(or an s8), but since getting a note 8 it really is great placement IMO. its easy and way faster than any other unlock. TBH i only recently realised i didnt have to actually wake the phone to use the fingerprint haha i was too used to pressing power and then scanning like on my old s7edge.

The placement is great for me, i practically unlock the phone as its slideing out of my pocket like i would any other, but with the added functionality of not actually needing to wake the phone it is actually faster than it was on the old models with the sensor on the front.

speaking from a pull out of pocket senario, i think it is probably easier to drop your phone pulling it out and unlocking it from the front, this new placement you can slide it out with full grip on the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] bonerp:
what floats your boat, sinks others! I hate it. And if Samsung truly believed it works, why place the sensor back on the front (target future S9/Note 9)?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
I thought it would a problem. Once I got used to it. I have no issues works great.
