Skin case cover arrived

I ordered the cover from e-bay (see topic start). Here some images, pros and cons.

Note, this is another ebayer than the one Hefi and Duncan ordered their cover.

Pro's:

+ Cheap (paid 24 euro's for 2 cases including international shipment).

+ Fast delivery (5 days after payment).

+ Includes a free (anti-glare) screenprotector (not tested yet).

+ Fits very well.

+ Covers the front camera (I don't use it).

+ All gestures for Touchflo, Cube and SPB Mobile Shell work without problems.

+ Easy appliance.

+ Covers the hard-buttons too for protection (I don't use volume the control).

+ I didn't like the silver front, hence it disappeared.

+ Camera hardware button can be pressed.

+ Covers the SD card slot (I use an 8GB card and don't switch cards).

Cons (depends on usage):

- Covers the front camera (when you use it).

- Stylus is less accessible.

- Hardware volume button is not accessible.

- This type of case does not protect the screen.

- You have to remove the skin when changing the SD card.
[Touch Cruise Accessories] Ka Honu:
I received the same case about a week ago and would rate it pretty much the same (except that most of the cons really don't bother me since I always keep volume on "high," only have one SD card, don't use the front camera, and have a pretty good screen protector).

My only addition is that I find the case slightly "loose" (flappy) on the device. I've never had a silicone skin case before so don't know if that's the nature of the beast or if they just made this one slightly larger than they should have.
[Touch Cruise Accessories] bluebee:
How is this case from proporta. I kind of like this becuase it covers the front chrome metal too. But does it fit well TC.[/QUOTE]

I am quoting myself. Can any one suggest me whether this one is fits TC. This has the front camera hole. So, I perfer this one to Pdair. please suggest

I like the look of of that case kwabbernootje , shame it's a little loose - but - is it a universal type case ? - still material looks good - just really after a case that doesnt get stuck inside your pocket( 2 materials cause sticking effect) - im just undecided at the moment - i need a case for my 02 xda orbit 2 - any 1 got a good fitting one yet ??? ,

oooooOOOoooooo > just checked your above link http://www.krusell.se/productMulti.p...61&category=22, thats better - i ll have to contact them as to how well it will fit the xda orbit 2, ill report back when i get a reply <

I was just about to order that aluminum case from pdair then i realized you have to open the thing just to use the device, cause it has a plastic "guard" over the screen...

Just wanted to warn ppl about this so u don't waste $30 cause from the pictures it is not really that clear.

Is silicon good? Would edges interfere thumb movement for touchflo?

I personally prefer not having to open covers whenever I want to access the pda, specially when you have only 1 hand available(it gets bad)...I think silicon pouch has that advantage...what do you think? any goods any bads?

[Sony Xperia ZL] StuardBr:
Hello everyone!

I'm here to ask help with my Xperia ZL.

I unlocked the bootloader, flashed the last TWRP odin available as boot.img through fastboot (fastboot flash boot boot.img), flashed LineageOS 14.1, Open GApps, SuperSU and everything is ok, phone working 1000x better than the stock Sony rom and rooted.

The problem is that my TWRP gone from the recovery. The recovery available is the LineageOS recovery, very limited. After some google, i found that sony don't have a recovery partition, so the custom os overwrite the recovery and bla bla bla.... So, i found that is possible to flash the recovery to the FOTAKernel to maintain my TWRP after flash a custom rom. I tried using the Xperia Recovery Manager, but the app stuck on my device when i try to format or flash fota, i tried Flashfy, but the app stuck when i go to select the file to flash...

So, i'm here to ask to you: "How is the best way to flash twrp in my fotakernel, to maintain it as my primary recovery even after flash any custom rom?"

I'm available for discuss and waiting for you help. Thanks anyway :)

1. Installation : TWRP
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] dimm0k:
with very little activity lately for the LGV20, especially with the unlocked US996 variant, I created a TWRP flashable package for the recent US99610k release. this zip flash every partition included in the latest KDZ package with the exception of recovery to keep TWRP. standard disclaimer applies, you do all of this at YOUR OWN risk! because I have not tested this yet, I can't verify whether 10k is rootable or not or if there's Anti-RollBack (ARB), so you need to be root'd before flashing this! failure to do so will probably cause you to lose root and/or lose TWRP! if 10k does have ARB you won't be able to downgrade. stay tuned on this.

NOTE1: you can find the partitions that will be flashed in the updater-script. to be extra cautious you can back up all of the partitions that will be overwritten with the following: dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/{partition} of=/external_sd/backup/{partition}.img.

NOTE2: boot partition has been modified only to remove rctd, nothing else so I consider this to still be stock

Instructions:

download US99610.zip file listed below and put on microSD card

download your choice of root and put on microSD card, choose from either Magisk or SuperSU *Note: v12.0 of Magisk does not work with the LGV20 device in general and v14.0 is recommended.

backup any data from internal "SD card"

boot into TWRP (requires TWRP recovery to already be installed)

create a TWRP backup of the device

flash zip from microSD card by using "Install"

FLASH YOUR CHOICE OF ROOT - Flashing root is VERY IMPORTANT BEFORE REBOOTING!

reboot

profit!

Flashing Process (what flashing this zip does):

flash necessary partition images with the exception of recovery (to keep TWRP) from the KDZ

rename /system/recovery-from-boot.p to /system/recovery-from-boot.bak to prevent stock recovery from being installed on boot

wipes dalvik-cache and cache

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] McNutnut:
I've been running 10k for almost a week now and haven't seen any issues. I can't necessarily speak for this ZIP, though. Taking a glance at it things look good.

One thing I'd like to point out is an issue I saw reported by another user. They stated that after they flashed US Cellar US996 updates their Unlocked US996 device was being picked up as the US Cellular device when attempting to use the LG website bootloader unlock. This is most likely due to the US Cellular bootloader being flashed and the device reporting a US Cellular device ID. This hasn't caused any issues when your device has already been bootloader-unlocked but I would not suggest that users re-lock their bootloader when running this US Cellular firmware as you may risk running into problems unlocking. The same user had also reported that they just flashed the 10f kdz with LGUP to correct the problem but not a risk I'd like to see anyone take. Just a word of caution.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] nickthaskater:
Thanks for the heads up.

Can you confirm what security patch 10k is up to on the 996? Any other documented updates/fixes?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] McNutnut:
September 1st

No documented changes that I've seen.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] leonzwrx:
No issues flashing for me... didn't wipe data, works well.. not sure what the changes are though, looks like the same
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] nickthaskater:
If it's just a security update there won't be any visual differences.

I just installed and everything is as it was on 10h, save for the security date.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ruijay:
Thank you.

I flashed from US99610h to US99610k with no issues. I did not flash supersu or magistick after flashing the firmware because I need to use uverse app. So far 24 hours with no issue or crash.

I extracted this modem (actually I just removed everything else from the zip and modified the script file) because I wanted to see if the newer modem fixed some streaming issues I had. I'm on Lineage, but it looks like the modem keeps crashing. It works fine for a few minutes while streaming music but then crashes and takes the WiFi and LTE with it for a few seconds.

Shouldn't this updated modem work with 7.1?

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] kayits:
Hello, my phone stuck in Logo LG. But before I was in the red triangle and I thought that installing this would work well. But now the bootloader has been blocked and I can no longer enter recovery. And I have happened to install by fastboot the recovery stock but I can not find that file anywhere.

Somebody can help me please?

Edit. The LGUP detect the phone but with unknow model. I put the dll in common and doesnt work. I dont know how to unbrick my phone

Edit 2: I think the OEM is blocked, because I tried the "fastboot oem lock" command and it says it was already blocked, then try to unlock it "fastboot oem unlock" and says: FAILED (remote: unknown command). I think it's because the box was unchecked in Settings> General> Development, but the problem is that I can not boot to activate it.

Just follow the instructions in the OP. You need to reflash the Magisk 14 image immediately after flashing the 10L zip.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] WTF?:
Anyone know if the radio in either one of these is improved? - I have an unlocked US996 (from B&H photo, not US cellular) and regardless if I am using Verizon or AT&T, my current ROM's (US99610f) radio is very weak in weak signal areas - much crappier phones get much better signal in weak areas. I am hoping a new radio has solved this. It is the only thing I dislike about the V20 :eek:

Also, with my standard unlocked US996 (already bootloader unlocked via LG developer website) am I better off with 10k or 10l ?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] R-T-B:
Be careful, when I flashed this to my unlocked US996 on Verizon I lost all data, and furthermore could not restore stock without uppercut. I think it's bound to US cellular, these firmwares.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] nickthaskater:
I'm not sure what you did, no, you shouldn't have lost your data nor is it bound to US Cellular devices. I have the 10L zip running on my unlocked 996 without any issue. I flashed it via TWRP from 10K and didn't lose anything.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] nickthaskater:

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] nickthaskater:
Do you have an unlocked US996? In other words, not a UCL or Brightpoint version.

If so, you can just unlock the bootloader, officially, through LG and then load TWRP and Magisk. From there you can flash the 10p zip.

Bluetooth working fine, here.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] FGat:
I flashed US99610p over existing US996f (with SuperSU ofc.).

Everything seems to work (yes even Bluetooth), but as some ppl previousely mentioned, the device gets pretty warm and the cpu usage is extremely high (95-100%) with no programms opened.

Is that normal? Does the system still has to make some tweaks in the background until the cpu usage drops to normal (0-10%)?

After a System uptime of 10 minutes the CPU usage drops to 20%. Still a bit high...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] nickthaskater:
Any CPU usage issues are a result of something else.

It does take a while for everything to settle in. Just let the phone run for a while and then check in on it.

Also, you ought to use Magisk for root, not SuperSU.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] FGat:
What I did was installing US99610p and SuperSU zip, then restarted. First thing I checked was root and it was still active.

After a while the cpu and "warmness" problem solved itself, it took a few restarts and time, now its running as expected.

Interesting behaviour, never did such an update before.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] yablackrob:
Does this update fix the HD calling issue and the loss of bands on Verizon for the US996 I've been stuck on global and cannot switch to different bands without it not connecting my biggest concern is that I can't get the full range of bands for this phone that I originally had before I started updating it without those original features cannot be on phone and surf the internet at the same time which I haven't seen on this phone before n update

Edit. Everything works did a fresh install HD calling fixed.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] wolfy:
Found out what was causing the crashes when updating to the latest zip.

I am using the unlocked US996.

My car has the ability to read and reply text messages via voice when connected over Bluetooth. After upgrading the ROM to us99610p, this integration was broken. Actually, SMS was broken, opening the messaging app causes a crash.

I cleared the SMS storage, and even installed Google messaging, but could not get any SMS messages to come through.

Flashing to us99610n in place solved the problem, SMS started working again and SMS integration on the car no longer crashes the Bluetooth module on the v20.

If anyone manages to solve the problem, I'd love to hear from you.
