[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] joshua_:
Reflashing slot B is kind of funny on these devices. When they come from the factory, slot B doesn't come with an Android image, but instead the extra space is used to host prebuilt .odex images, to speed up first boot. (They comment on this in the A/B appnote: https://source.android.com/devices/...size-of-the-system-partition-without-squashfs ). So you actually don't really want to reflash slot B if you can avoid it.

Have you tried with a modern fastboot?

What does 'fastboot getvar all' tell you?

You need to set_active, like I mentioned.

The download mode is a no-op on production Walleye, I think

I took the steps I mentioned in the OP :) You can't fastboot boot, fastboot set_active, or fastboot flash something without unlocking the bootloader.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] pixel-painter:
Which is why I asked if the bootloader was unlocked ;)
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] admiralspeedy:
I wonder if that means that flashing the factory image replaces the opposite slot with those prebuilt odex files then. On the original Pixel and Pixel XL it just flashed the opposite slot with an empty image.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] RagedElimanator:
Well if you want to use slot_b then you might as well flash the image over that the slot_a pretty much takes place of what slot_b was in the beginning, but yeah you are right though about having slot_b at preconfigured state yet that's if you are on slot_a.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] mtpease:
I think I might be in real trouble. I can't boot anything at all, just like others in this thread. I can't even boot TWRP, and I get this error:

I've tried setting the active slot to a, and back to b. I've tried multiple times to flash the stock image files from Google. They appear to flash normally, but I still can't boot.

All of this started after I accidentally tried to boot the recovery image from the pixel 2 xl. Something got seriously messed up, and I can't figure out how to repair it.

Does anyone know what else I can try?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] joetheshmo:
Use cmd instead of powershell. I've had issues relating to fastboot/adb with PS in the past
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ra6idr0y:
I was in the same boat. Would only boot to bootloader after typical manual flash-all of the system image (no recovery, no nothing, just bootloader).

Here's what I did (Windows 10):

1) Update fastboot/adb

2) Download and extract latest 8.0 image (ends in 25)

3) Open CMD (not powershell)

4) fastboot set_active other

5) Manually flash bootloader (failed for me), radio (went ok), update .zip (some errors), reboot bootloader between each:

fastboot flash bootloader <location>

fastboot flash radio <location>

fastboot update <location of image-walleye-opd1.170816.025.zip>

6) fastboot set_active other then repeat bootloader, radio, update.zip manual flashes

Though I read this about the og Pixels... Basically just manually flash images to both slots when all else fails.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] dewhashish:
I'm trying this now, but I can't get my phone to boot. It just goes back to the bootloader (which is unlocked). I'm getting the same "FAILED (remote: Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error)" error. My adb/fastboot is at the latest version. Trying to flash the 8.1 factory image.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] xluryan:

[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] 2coolium:
Sorry to resurect this from the dead, but I was in the same boat and there doesn't seem to be an answer here, So I'll tell you what I did.

1. I booted into linux

2. Made sure my android platform tools were up to date

3. from the bootload I went to recovery(which would not open, ended up with phone with black screen)

4. from that black screen I could use Duece's tool and that fix the phone to where it will at least boot properly.

In hope this helps

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] idkwhothatis123:
So I thought the P-OLED was supposed to eliminate the risk of this, but read an article today about the Pixel XL2 (same screen) having burn in issues. Anyone experiencing this with the V30?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ern88:
I just read the same article lol. Hopefully the V30 won't have this issue. I just had my phone for 2 days now.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Killua96:
There is an article which states that P-Oled displays have solved burn in problems?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] idkwhothatis123:
I get why ChazzMatt roasts people on here.

That's not what I said. LG made a statement that due to some new capsulation technology in the P-OLED it would be mitigated.

The article refers to the Pixel XL2 screen having burn in. It's the same screen as the V30. I was looking for some sort of confirmation of that.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Killua96:
There is no need to get pissed of like this, I just asked one thing, and, well you have answered that LG said this, so, from my part there is no problem :svetius:

Also, could you link the LG announcement? Just curious, this would be my first oled smartphone and I want to know if there is some confirmation about P-Oled being safe.:confused:
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] leyton01:
Yes there is:

http://www.lgnewsroom.com/2017/08/n...o-feature-first-ever-oled-fullvision-display/

"Most importantly, using advanced encapsulation and pixel-scanning technology, the burn-in problem that has affected OLED technology in the past has been all but eliminated in the P-OLED technology in LG’s upcoming device."

Not saying this is accurate just answering the question.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Killua96:
Thanks!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] donky kong 017:
apparently no burn in on the v30

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ni36KU1sBrM
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] kevinlevrone:
There is no proof that the V30 and Pixel 2 XL have "same screen". Same manufacturer, diagonal and number of pixels does not mean "same screen". Google may have chosen to buy cheaper screens in order to increase profits, or maybe LG didn't want (or couldn't because of yeld issues) to deliver their best technology screens to Google.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] mlesak:
I'm seeing it...

I started to notice it yesterday while reading an eBook. I'm waiting to see if it gets worse before contacting LG. I have a LG v30 from Verizon.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Billy Madison:
You know what FUD means? Congrats, you've read FUD article. You'll now loose your sleep, fearing and avoiding Pixel 2 XL, even avoiding to take a glance on it in store. That's what they want, I mean ZOG wants you to not buy Pixel 2XL, instead go spend cash on Note 8
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] idkwhothatis123:
Lol I understand that to some degree. I'm still getting a V30 regardless, as I feel it's the best phone on the market. I was just curious what to expect. Heck my v20 has burn in like Crazy lol.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] GUGUITOMTG4:
Are you able to provide a photo when it happens again? It would be the first one for

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Billy Madison:
Nope, your V20 doesn't have burn-in. It has image retention

[YOUTUBE]sbR2VhHLuW0[/YOUTUBE]
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] mlesak:
Sure. I noticed it last night for the first time while reading a book via the Kindle app (black text/white background). It's about 3/4 of the way down from the top of the screen. It's almost like the Kindle app is transparent, but it isn't. Hope that makes sense. I bought the phone the day it came out and have been using it as my daily driver since Oct 5th. Love the device/features. Takes amazing pics and quad DAC is impressive.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] jsgraphicart:
Hello everyone. Jumping in here because I am getting a V30 tomorrow. But just wanted to add to this. I have seen people point out that this is not "burn in" but image retention or image persistence. If this is the case, it's not a permanent thing and will probably fix itself the more you use the device. A device would have to be used for a longer period of time to get actual "burn in" I would think.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] sundoggy:
Well what the best way to prevent burn in? Any ideas?

I just a S8 in the store has very very bad burn in.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Circledog:
Don't put your brightness on 100% like they do in the stores. I keep mine on 60% generally during the day, crank it up to 90ish if I go for a walk and then turn it way down at night. I do that on all my phones and have never had burn in. My sister keeps hers over 90 all the time and always complains about burn in.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Pyperkub:
I've been using AMOLED Burn-in Fixer on my S7 edge after I got burn-in from Waze. It basically sets up Negative Colors from the accessibility options, as I can tell. the burn in is much better, but not gone (and I really wish Waze would do something about this, as it's probably the only app which will do this).
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] mlesak:
Here's the image: Taken from my Nexus 5X of the V30 screen, gray wallpaper in preview. You can really see it about 1/3 the way up from the bottom of the screen. That's exactly what I saw yesterday. It's more noticeable when the screen dims. I'm going to reach out to LG and open a case.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] teknomedic:
I have burn in from waze too... Droid Turbo. Only started using waze about a year ago and it's the only burn in I have... They really do need to randomly pixel shift or invert colors or something.

...and yes... I own arcade machines and know full well the difference between image retention vs actual burn-in and I've got burn-in.

I'll have to look for that program you mentioned when I get my v30. Thank you. ?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ern88:
So it's it really burn in or screen retention?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] idkwhothatis123:
Anyone feel free to correct me, as I am just learning this. But it is my understanding that OLEDs apparently get actual Burn In, where LCD screens get screen retention.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] mlesak:
Update: I called LG and they offered to replace the device, but it could take 2-6 weeks. I then called Verizon and they are sending me a new device since I'm under the 1 year warranty. I'm hoping the new one doesn't have the same issue, but I have a feeling after a few weeks, it will be back.

I reset the phone and the issue is apparent during the initial start up screens since they are white backgrounds. I'm hoping LG is going to get this resolved because outside of this issue, it's an excellent device.

There is screen burnin on the LGV 30. I just stopped at the T-Mobile store in Harlingen Texas and was looking at the V30 and I noticed in the top left-hand corner I can see writing that says touch the screen here for more information. It did not matter what app was open and I showed it to the representative and he saw it as well.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Yes, I got burn in from Waze during the past year on my Moto XT1225 -- the international version of the Droid Turbo XT1254. But the Moto XT1225 came in 64GB only, and has all the AT&T LTE bands. All the Quarks have the same 5.2" 1440p AMOLED display.

I owned three of them and only my daily one has the burn in. I drive 1 - 1.5 hours to work in the mornings and often 1.5 hours home. Need Waze on for traffic info -- accidents, speed traps, etc. STUPID orange circle.

My wife's XT1225 (my 2nd one) doesn't have that burn-in because she uses Google Maps, not Waze (which is also owned by Google). STUPID orange circle.

I already sold my still new-in-box backup Moto XT1225 (the 3rd one, which I kept on a shelf) to clear the decks for the LG V30.

I'll probably keep this phone as emergency backup. Not going to sell it to anyone with that burn-in.

Who cares if you have burn-in problems with some other phones. This is V30 forum for **** sake.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Septembersrain:
No burn-in here yet. My Note 3 took like 2 1/2 years to show any issues but it's not very obvious. Hopefully I won't have any issues with my V30 for a while.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Tinkerer_:
OLED burn-in, image retention, etc. by whatever name appears to be inherently problematic for current state of the art of commercial OLED in smartphones.

Observing this problem with phones other than V30 helps to see this (no pun intended).

Although if we believe Apple some may be better at mitigating it than others (re their iPhone X claims).

http://bgr.com/2017/11/03/iphone-x-features-oled-display-burn-in-solution/

But the phone makers [and re-badge-ers...cough... Google...cough....Apple....cough....] seem to see no problem foisting this on consumers. Maybe the benefits of OLED for design goals of slimmer, lighter, curvable, lower power, ?, are too compelling to forego, and they figure that the two year product life will work in their favor while the tech is improved over time. (Device population turns over quickly.)

Even Apple accepts the burn-in problem with iPhone X. That's amazing, for the lux brand aimed at the most discerning and well-heeled customer$. I wonder if they will just increase AppleCare+ replacements to reduce resulting customer ill wiil, or try to convince them it is OK.

Another reason to wait on getting a V30, to see how it plays out*. Maybe LG will mitigate it within several months of mfg ramp up.

(Added to other things to wait for, including price drops, carrier unlocked model with bootloader unlock and root availability, general early teething issues fixed, and factory-installed OS update to address the Krack Wi-Fi vulnerability. )

...
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] AlisGelida:
Starting from what I'm reading here, I guess V30 suffers burn-in probably because of the faulty of some specific devices having more sensible displays, since this new P-OLED tech is promising to fix this nightmare for almost ever.

Waiting to see more feedback from different V30 owners to judge my upgrade from V20... still that old but gold LCD display has only a temporary image ghosting, and nothing to burn in it. Please let us know!

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Septembersrain:
They did increase AppleCare+. That phone would cost a fortune if any defects happen because Apple claimed burn in as "Normal". So they'll try to charge you the fee to replace the screen with or without AppleCare+.

I like OLED when you get a good panel. When you don't, it's a nightmare.

LED looks fine but honestly going from my 7 Plus to my V30+ is night and day. The colors, they are just wildly different and my 7 Plus looks very dull.

I think OLED needs work, it's got flaws but LCD did too. I remember the days of piss yellow screens, dead pixels, etc. In some LCD panels, this is still happening. So I'm sure they'll all have a chance to be defective. I think this is more about the stringent QC of whatever company.

So I bought this Mi Mix dirt cheap because it had a cracked screen and the bezel is cracked also. Where’s a good place to get replacement parts. I’ve heard of isssues with the lcd and ambient light sensors. Can someone point me in the right direction? The lcd is fine on my phone but the glass is cracked. Is it possible to replace the glass or is it just easier to replace the whole assembly?

How much did you pay?

[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] techyrock:
Replacing whole unit would be easier but costlier , replacing glass is cheaper but not easy, you'll need a lot of patience if your are fixing it on your own(or if some expert agrees on doing it for ya might be a plus point), you'll need special adhesive to bind glass to screen,most people use some sort of thin thread to remove glass from LCD, I have seen few people replacing AMOLED panels which are even more thinner then the IPS on Mi Mix but its not easy process lots of things should be kept in mind ,and you might end up breaking your display

1*See if someone is buying that display then sell it and buy a whole new assembly

2*If 1 is no help then you'll be left with 2 options replace glass or assembly

Either way you can give replacing glass a try if you get the glass cheaper

Replacing whole assembly is your last resort

Check you jerryrigeverthing channel on YouTube he did disassemble Mi Mix and he also replaced glass on a samsung oled panel

Last time I checked the full assembly plus frame cost upwards of 200$, not including service costs of course.

Which means that fixing up that beast is still going to be pretty pricy.

Looks like vopmart sells the bezel for 90 and the screen assembly for 100 + 10 for frame. Hmmm. What to do... Gotta check out some more teardowns to see if I want to do it myself. But from what I can see it doesn’t look to bad. I’m just not sure about the optic glue + glass & ips panel.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] reID.entify:
Little update on this. Went to the local cellphone repair shop and asked a quote for a lcd assembly replacement. I was quoted for $120 total (parts & labor) for full assembly replacement. Which also includes lifetime warranty on the screen as long as the screen is available. The repair guy was looking for screens on eBay including the frame for the lcd. Seems pretty damn good if you ask me and I wouldn't have to do the dirty work. But thing is I don't know how well they do repairs. Also, I forgot to ask for a quote for the bezel.

There are some teardowns on YouTube, quite easy with a few hurdles, the hardest part for me was removing the battery, there are tabs you pull that's supposed to help but they just snapped on me. If you're lucky it might work if not don't rush it or the battery will puncture and you will need a new one, the copy batteries are crap. Watch the teardowns a few times and you will get it. AliExpress was where I got mine there are loads of sellers with them. You will need some b7000 glue as the replacements don't have adhesive on them. The glue is very cheap and the screen come with tools.

Where did you buy the LCD?

Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] hquant:
You need to be very selective when buying the LCD. Almost all of them do not have the oleophobic coating turning the screen into a smudgefest within minutes. I replaced my coated screen with an uncoated screen initially and it was disgusting. Luckily it was defective so I returned it for my money back and then went to Aliexpress. This vendor has the only coated version I know of:

https://de.aliexpress.com/item/For-...61ef335&transAbTest=ae803_2&priceBeautifyAB=0

Sorry for the lengthy URL. He claims to have the coating and he acutually delivers on the claim. Another important factor is the middle frame which is included and already attached to the screen. Man screens come without it and you then need to pry the old one off and glue it to the new screen. Often the glue is not strong enough and the diesplay will lift out of the phones body. Sure, it is more expensive than other options, but worth every cent. The display is fee of defects, sits flush with the ceramic frame and makes the phone look pristine.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] james1089:
This is all true, mine is smudge magnet, I can live with it but annoying everything else is ok, I clean the screen with solution then use liquid car Wax to add a bit of a coating against fingerprints, 3 coats of car Wax and a good polish off. Helps a little bit with smudges. It feels really smooth afterwards.
