Hi JerichoAbles:

Hi yes I had been talking to running nak3d in private chat and my concern is I would have to give up encryption if I used TWRP. I am totally frustrated with this phone but that frustration is with LG not members of this forum who are trying to help. I am a security engineer in my real life and not having encryption on my device is a real deal breaker. LG developers told me (take that with a grain of salt) that they would have an update for the US996 device in October and I have not seen a peep on any website including theirs. I have debated doing as you suggested but I need to have a better understanding of how the FBE (File based encryption) in Android 7 protects me while the phone is booted but locked vs other states. If this was the previous WDE (whole disk encryption) I woulnd't worry about it because once you put in the encryption key the files are unlocked system wide. That may really be the same situation here, but I am doing my due diligence to find that out for myself.

h990ds

ARB version 0

Software version h990ds10g-AME-XX

Firmware version 7.0
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] tealcomp:
That's what I am researching to determine; so far it looks like Google's FBE implementation is not as robust as Apple. Given most of us leave our phones "on" much of the time, encryption isn't go to buy you much if anything unless certain files stay encrypted until used OR they are re-encrypted and the keys are kicked out of RAM.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] toastyp:
Means you can't do anything unless you want to brick your phone. LG has implemented antirollback (ARB) and if you try to downgrade it won't work. You force downgrade and it will brick

I'm having issues getting TWRP to run. Hope you can help.

Tech specs:

SW Version US99610n

ARB 0

Firmware version 7.0

I used the LG official unlock method and it reports being unlocked successfully.

I've tried using fastboot to flash TWRP to recovery as mentioned in numerous guides, which reports success but remains a factory reset once I've done so, erasing all data.

I've attempted recowvery with no success as well. Recowvery reaches:

adb logcat -s recowvery

--------- beginning of main

--------- beginning of system

and stops there.

Let me know if there's any more information I can give that would help!

oh... so you mean Tmobile is responsible for the security C*ck-block that's preventing me from being able to root my V20?

On the bright side I did successfully root my Nexus 7 tablet, however on the not-so-bright side Id really rather have my V20 rooted than anything else because I cant really do anywhere near as much with the tablet I have as I could with my phone.

Howeverrrrr... ill take what I can get I suppose. Always gotta look to the bright side

thanks again though for the contributions you and all the devs here at XDA make. For real, this has become my favorite place to spend time @ online. There's so much to read through and learn about that it makes my freaking head spin. lol

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Dirus:
I have a US996 which isn't unlockable through lg dev. I have DUMPed, rolled back to US996010f, and unlocked and rooted using dirty santa. How do I go back to US996010n without losing my unlocked bootloader and TWRP?

My goal is to flash magisk onto the latest firmware (currently US996010n).

Edit: I have a modified lgup with "partition dl." I assume if I know which partitions to untick I can just flash everything leaving just unlocked bootloader and TWRP. I tried leaving just the recovery but it didn't work. I didn't know aboot was the bootloader at the time. I'll try this again tonight leaving both recovery and aboot.

Can I acquire root? If so what method should I Use? Any good links? Thank you.

Edit:

After Hours of Searching -

1. Downgrade F800S to an OS version with security patch before December 2016 ( Probably v10e) using LG Uppercut and LG UP.

2. Follow The Dirty Santa Exploit exactly as guided and acquire root. :D

After that I used the vs995 rom here:

For some reason I can't make a twrp back up on this setup but it works well either way. Soon I hope the fingerprint reader will work on lineage os.

If you mess up bad you can use patched lgup application to flash the standard us996 10p and start again. There are links out there for your phone specifically but I don't have the link handy anymore.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navcar:
I recently ran into the Unknown baseband problem on my G900I. It happended randomly. I couldn't call, and the phone baseband was "unknown" (the modem was failing to initialize). The phone randomly rebooted when the screen was off, and shutdown didn't work (look a very long time and would reboot.)

My attempts:

1. I didn't have an EFS/modemst1/modemst2 backup. Silly me, if I'd had those backups I would have saved a bunch of time! I did a new backup anyway just to be safe (who knows?). Restoring my new backup did nothing (apparently this works in some cases).

2. I was already on stock. Naturally I reflashed stock to unroot, but when that didn't fix it I did a full factory reset. The modem was still not working, so I even went all the way and did a NAND erase all + PIT + clear EFS in Odin. The modem still did not work!

3. EFS Professional could not connect to the modem ("send SPC" didn't work at all, rejected by phone error). In QPST I got "disk error while writing to file" when trying to backup the qcn. In retrospect, these methods probably failed because the modem had been failing to initialize at boot, so these tools weren't able to communicate with the modem. Also note that the Service Mode menu was completely blank, but the USB menu to enable modem diagnostics still worked.

At this point I was close to giving up and about to start finding a mobile phone repair shop who could fix this (I was thinking that I needed a z3c box), until I came across some threads which suggested that they fixed their unknown baseband problem by erasing modemst1 and modemst2. I didn't want to try this because I read somewhere that recent newer Samsung devices stored the IMEI in these partitions, and NOT in the EFS. (don't think this is true anymore...) I had already tried clearing the EFS in #2.

Whilst most of these threads were about non-Samsung devices (they used fastboot erase modemst1, but we don't have fastboot on Samsung), it can still be done in TWRP, see: https://www.theandroidsoul.com/fix-...d-wifibluetooth-issues-restoring-twrp-backup/

After erasing modemst1/modemst2, I rebooted, and WOW my modem now works! SIM is detected!! :good:

So... now I'm confused why people suggest to backup/restore the modemst1/modemst2 partitions in the first place, when erasing those partitions actually solved my problem - and without loosing my IMEI number/BT or Wi-fi MAC! EFS Professional and QPST tools now work as expected. I now wonder where the IMEI number really is stored? :eek:

Hope this helps someone!

Notes:

(NAND erase all doesn't actually clear everything. Perhaps there are multiple NAND chips or something)

Worked for me, thanks a ton [MENTION=2641787]navcar[/MENTION]!

My issue was a zeroed IMEI on a G900F running LOS 14.1.

I made a backup of the broken EFS first to avoid breaking the poor thing even further. On a rooted adb shell:

klte:/data/asd # dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/efs of=efs.bak
klte:/data/asd # dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst1 of=modemst1.bak bs=4096
klte:/data/asd # dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst2 of=modemst2.bak bs=4096
klte:/data/asd # find /efs -exec ls -l {} \; > efs-permissions

And pulled the generated files plus the whole /efs dir. The last command is to keep a list of the permissions in /efs.

To modify modemst1 and modemst2 I used the TWRP terminal. dd complained about no space left. Then rebooted to system and my IMEI was back :)
