[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithinkihaveaphone:
Hello,

I'm a bit lost, here is my problem:

I have an international LG G3, I switched to LineageOS from official ROM 10 days ago. Everything was working fine, until yesterday when at some point, whithout doing anything special, my phone froze as I hit the Home button.

It froze for quite some time, so I removed the battery and now I have the pleasure, each time that I start the phone to see the great LG logo that doesn't move...

My phone isn't root (didn't install the su addon) and though I can boot in TWRP recovery mode, I don't see any file and all my reboot options mention "No OS".

I tried to sideload lineage to flash the new version but it doesn't work, push neither (and I have no SD - it kept unmounting itself).

I tried to connect with LGUP to go stock, but I guess since it's not root, it isn't recognized, and I don't know how to root it as I can't access it.

So here I am, stuck, without much idea of what to do next, I would be thankful if someone knew how to fix this issue one way or the other!

EDIT: Any try to solve the issue failed as I get the same prompt : Failed to mount /xxxx, or : Unable to mount storage.

Thanks in advance!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HardStyl3r:
I had the same situation like you. Your data got corrupted. There's no way to actually restore your files, at least I couldn't do that with help of my mates. All you need to do is eject your SDCard, wipe every partition and:

repeat all steps for /system, /data and /cache - select

only

one partition, click on Repair or Change File System and these click on Repair File System then Change File System to F2FS and immediately change it back to ext4 and Repair File System once again.

And then wipe every partition once again.

If you need more help, message me on telegram. ;)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithinkihaveaphone:
Hello and thanks for your message,

I tried your procedure but for each partition, I get a bunch of "Failed to mount", "Unable to wipe", "Unable to repair".

I don't care about the data, all I want is to have my phone running, I tried to "Format Data" within TWRP, doesn't work either.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HardStyl3r:
have you tried restoring to Stock ROM using LG Flash Tool? as far as I know it resets all partitions so that might be the fix for you

please try once again with this TWRP: https://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-0-0-t3309475

maybe just try [Change File System] to ext4 again? It helped me with my data corruption
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithinkihaveaphone:
Yes, I tried with LG Flash Tool, it's the same as LGUP, in both case my phone isn't recognized (I can see my phone on my computer but it contains nothing).

I can't install this TWRP, first technique I can't find the file in my folders (though I could push it with adb), second i can't do "su".

(with the current TWRP - 3.1.1.1 - I can't change the file system)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HardStyl3r:
if you have sdcard, you can put the file here and then flash recovery.img via recovery
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithinkihaveaphone:
I could now get adb to push the img on data and sdcard, but when I try to install I can't find any partition and the process fail as no partition is specified.

I did the push in recovery mode and could find the files, but when I reboot in recovery mode again, I can't find them anymore.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HardStyl3r:
it won't save any data, because partitions are corrupted do this won't work for sure
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithinkihaveaphone:
When I try to flash the recovery img, i get "No partitions selected for flashing.", and in the previous sreen where it ask for the partition, I can't pick anything as the list is empty.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithinkihaveaphone:
I tried again to FLash it with the tool, no success.

In device manager I don't see the phone, all I see on the port COM is : Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3), so I guess that's why it never find the phone, anything I can do ?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HardStyl3r:
do you have proper drivers installed?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithinkihaveaphone:

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithinkihaveaphone:
Thanks for your help,

I tried the 9008 method but it didn't work, I have now som "Kernel crash" error that I don't know how to fix and the the only thing I can do is to access some sort of Download mode (where my screen is black, not with "Firmware Update" written, so the LG Flash Tool doesn't recognize it to flash a rom).
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HardStyl3r:
it's probably fastboot mode, what's shown in device manager in windows?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithinkihaveaphone:
Now I managed to flash something with this qualcomm utility (firmware files extracted from 30B KDZ, all other from 10 version were not responding) and I can have access to either:

- "Firmware Update" screen in DL mode, though I can't flash any stock ROM I found (I tried several DLL and TOT, I get "Model check fail" or some issue with the LAF: my guess is that it may be due to the fact that the recovery I managed to put is 30B and the the TOT I have is 10B so something doesn't work?);

- and on recovery mode I can access to Fastboot mode, but a not very efficient one as for some reason whenever I give a fastboot command it do much, the command run on the computer, then I get the output ". . ." in the command line, and the terminal stay in this state doing nothing...

From the device manager I either can see my phone as LG phone in DL mode, or just as some unknown device in fastboot mode.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanko82:
You probably missed some steps, with flashing all the partitions, you must flash them in given order, and you must use the same kdz, 10e...try it again from scratch.

Mine g3 is still fully functional, so it's worth a try.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HardStyl3r:
yeah, my phone did fully recover too. where you did you get your stock files? maybe you downloaded wrong files? I mean they're corrupted or something
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithinkihaveaphone:
Yes I followed the order, and finished with sbl1,

Now I can't do it again, I can't connect with the software as my phone is no longer 9008, so I have no idea what to do :eek:

I took : LGD855AT-V10e-EUR-16G.zip and LGD855_20104056_LGFLASHv160.dll

For the DLL i tried also LGUP8974.dll but it fail as well with a model check or LAF error.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HardStyl3r:
have you tried other packs? just to get stable device, you can flash other ROM after that
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithinkihaveaphone:
I tried the HK pack of the same TOT, no results, any suggestion ? Are some version more convenient to flash in this situation?

That's really what I'm aiming for, to flash anything on it so that I can flash the ROM I want after that.

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] UncleDan:
First of all, I read this thread, but no luck.

Situation:

* I unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP 3.1.1-1 and flashed Freedom OS, succeding.

* Then I decided to try the Oreo open beta, but had a problem (error 7 flashing it), so I wanted to get back to Freedom OS

* After flashing Freedom OS again (with success) I rebooted but I was stuck at boot logo.

* I decided to flash again OOS 4.5.14, but I misclicked something and I found my self in TWRP with no ROM to flash on SDcard (I think I have checked also internal storage while wiping).

* PANIC!

So, 3 questions:

1) given that I want to stay encrypted (if still possible at this point) should I decrypt data or not at TWRP boot?

2) if I chose decrypt with the unlock code (read that I did) I have to go with decrypt or formatting is enough to keep crypt?

3) MORE IMPORTANT: how do I get a ROM to flash into the phone. Reeboting in TWRP sometimes I see the internal storage, but when I drop a firmware in it I get the transfer windows stuck at 0% and it disappear after a few seconds.

Thanks in advance to who will help me!

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] UncleDan:
Thanks for the suggestion and... it's a beginning.

The problem is that if I sideload a small file like Magisk upload is ok, even if (obviously) it can't install.

When it comes to Oxygen OS I get I cannot read file error.

I doubleclicked the file and it opens in PC, so it isn't corrupted.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] chris4500uk:
I'd be tempted to try another USB cable and maybe another computer if you have one. Failing that, if it's a problem with TWRP your last resort may be a complete low level flash. A good guide is here - https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-5/how-to/unbrick-tool-oneplus-5-t3648169

Edit: I should say be careful if you do have connectivity problems, as flashing using unbrick tools while your connection is bad would not be a good idea at all since it could make things even worse (maybe even hard brick)
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] UncleDan:
I finally got it working. I am a bit ashamed of what the problem was, but I share in case someone else does this stupid error.

The point is: I was formatting /data inside Advanced wipe instead of using "Format Data", so ( I think) I was not rebuilding the sd card allocation table.

After formatting with "Format data" I was able to put the firmware with drag and drop from the PC and I could finally have mu OP5 working again.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] turbotorsten:
Can't you press reboot to recovery and decrypt with your code so your device gets mounted on a PC? Otherwise you can adb sideload the oxygenos file. I had the same error, but Google gave me this:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69648733&postcount=47

Use the program on all the files in the adb directory and reboot.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] UncleDan:
No; i couldn't. But I solved simply by using "Format data".

SOLVED
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] jhs39:
Format data is necessary on the OP5 when moving between Nougat and Oreo. I hope you flashed the Oreo Open Beta rather than Freedom. It's far superior.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] UncleDan:
[O/T ON]

I didn't at the moment, but I did right now, reverting to stock recovery. Do you now if an Oreo-ready TWRP is around yet?

[O/T OFF]
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] jhs39:
There are two with download links included in the instructions thread for flashing Oreo. I recommend the Blu Spark TWRP over the Chinese TWRP. It will be updated more often.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gelmage:
So I had a boost phone that recently broke. It had a sprint sim card. My mom got a new phone and gave me her S6 SM-g920a. I had to go online to get it unlocked. Upon unlocking it and it not working I called att. They told me it wasn't compatible. Ok.. So then I read on xda if you root it there's a way you can unlock it for my sim. Cool. Problem is my computer fried the other week. No oden no flashing nothing. My questions - Is it true rooting it will really make the sim compatible? And can you root this phone using no oden or even computer?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RossTeagan:
Not really.

The S6 SM-G920A is an AT&T phone (the A at the end of the model indicates AT&T model) so it uses GSM technology and can work with only a GSM SIM card.

Boost and Sprint are both CDMA networks, this means they use CDMA technology.

So, your phone, previously from AT&T, recognizes only GSM bands. Whereas Boost and Sprint use other bandwidths.

Check your phones and networks bads here and see if they really are compatible: https://www.frequencycheck.com/carriers/at-t-united-states

If their not, then you could use this phone only with GSM networks, such as AT&T, T-Mobile, Cricket, MetroPCS

HI, i dont really know how to make fakecursor work with tomtom. I was trying to rename application in startup folder with fakecursor name (as we know on VOX the are only 3 shortcuts, voice notes, messaging an IE). when i rename, the apllication chages only in main menu, and shortcuts remane not changed. how to start fakecursor, when is running?
[HTC Vox] Foxje:
I used SmartToolkit for it, setting FakeCursor as a hotkey. When I pressed the button on the leftside of my phone FakeCursor started (while I was in TomTom). To quit FakeCursor, I needed to go to the homescreen and then back to TomTom.

This workaround was the reason to stop using TomTom. I switched over to Route66, which is designed for smartphone too. Route66 is working very well, so much better than TomTom + FakeCursor.

Flash latest firmware then wait for the blue android screen that says installing updates etc etc...

After that screen immedietly boot into download mode and flash twrp then restart and again immedietly boot into twrp

Just dont let phone boot into android

With this trick you should get /data decrypted so no needed to wipe and not need for no verity no encrypt patch because it lags your phone

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] DullPeon:
Hi,

I followed this through the final instructions (bold) wihtout the phone booting into android (rebooted into download once the blue install screen finished). I wasn't sure what I needed to do in TWRP once I rebooted there, so I tried flashing su-config and an sbin 2.82 sr5 supersu install - then rebooted finally into android, and the unlock lag was back.

what needs to be done once twrp flashed and user has rebooted immediately into twrp?

[edit - further experimenting suggests supersu 2.82 versions all cause pattern unlock lag, while 2.79 does not but cannot be hidden via suhide]

thanks, sure I am missing something obvious here.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] ChARCOOL:
Unfortunately supersu has built-in no verity patch, that is why you still get lock screen lag. I use magisk and it works perfect for me with no lags
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] DullPeon:
thanks. I am surprised this isn't a more common complaint - do you know if there are recent samsung models with 7.0 that don't have this issue? It seems like anyone with an affected model that tries to run suhide, for example, would run into this immediately.

alternately, does this create the same problem on 6.0?

EDIT - this thread suggests maybe (not verified) it wasn't a problem on nougat 7.1.1 as well https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-j7/how-to/approach-to-rooting-7-1-1-t3709414

I have posted there to try to verify.

I just rooted my phone again with magisk using my method and i didn't got verity error and there is no lock screen lag
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] DullPeon:
thanks. i have rooted with magisk recently and didn't have a lag error either - but the app I need to use for this claims to requre supersu, and in fact seems to not like magisk at all.

also regardless of the 7.1.1 question, neither of the possible phones have a 7.1.1 available.

still looking for a 3rd way to handle this and get suhide, but looks grim for now. maybe simply moving up to the latest 7.0 firmware (my current build is a u2 build from ~~october, so haven't put the U3's on due to what I read about locking the bootloader etc) would fix it. It just seems to be an uncommon problem and that makes me think that there is some way to use a samsung with 7.0 with supersu 2.82 without this issue. Otherwise the number of questions about it from samsung users should be overwhelming.

do you know if it is disabling dm verity, or disabling forced encryption, that is causing the lag? if it is dm verity, would re-enabling dm verity via adb be a work-around? (I dug around for a script to enable verity and encrypt, no dice so far).

thanks for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] DullPeon:
follow-ups to your method -

why is it necessary to let the blue install screen process run before booting back to download to install twrp? if one just goes from download firmware and reboots to download immediately, what changes?

i played around with the no-verity-no-encrypt issue (both with the patch and with aroma su config) and it appears the no-encrypt is what is leading to the lag.

one drawback I am running into with the method above (flash firmware, run blue install screen, download-twrpflash, then immed. to recovery, then install in my case aroma & 2.82su is that i cannot mount data again in twrp once android has loaded, but that seems to be expected as it is not fully decrypting (even though it isn't encrypted, as I understand it?)
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] ChARCOOL:
