Hi all,

I recently got a g930f and successfully flashed TWRP and lineage OS (odin). I did NOT root. I have cell signal, my APN (access point name) is correct. However I do not have lte signal. I have another phone that gets lte in the same position.

I have looked up several pages for flashing a new modem.bin (tar) but I am stuck.

I found a new modem file I want to try. Canadian modem.bin.

developer options enabled, adb root only, usb debugging enabled

-phone in download mode - odin (ran as administrator) detects phone - tried both .tar and separately the modem.bin in CP (phone) tab with auto reboot unchecked. I get a failed message on odin. Phone screen says "Secure Download: Enabled" (in blue) "secure check failed: (radio)" in red.

[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] scuba4436:
Hi,

Does anybody knows, in which drive or folder the firmware files gets downloaded? I updated from B150 to B180 via Firmware Finder (proxy method), so I was able to download the update files over the normal Firmware Update function in the settings. Sadly, I klicked the Update-button in Firmware Finder several times and so, the download of the update files got started several times.

Now the firmware description page in the settings shows a size of 5 GB for the last update (B180). And on the memory page in settings, there are more than 12 GB occupied drive space from firmware files listed. Other file management tools like Files Go from Google show the same amount of occupied/free space on the internal drive (not SD card). So, the files must be on the phone somewhere. But...

I used several tools to search for the downloaded files. I didn't found them. Not I in a directory on the internal drive, not I in a directory of the system partition (read-only). I also cleared the /cache partition via recovery menu: press Vol-Up and On/Off-Button to switch on the phone and clear Cache.

Has anyone an idea, where the firmware update files have been be downloaded and/or how I can clean up "old" firmware files?

Thx.

Hey,

I have Honor 9 version STF-L09C432B100, I have looked on the forum, and can see you can get Oreo updates since 5th / 11th Dec.

I saw you can get updated firmware from Firmware finder, I saw the latest 180 build, however checking this with imei, shows that is is not ready for my device.

2 questions

1. is it safe to get firmware like this?

2. Am I seeing this due to buying from Three (uk)?

This program is so cool - I love stuff like this that uses your hardware in new inventive ways.

This program sends out chirps then records as they bounce back - measuring the time and therefore the distance to an obstruction. So it's basically a pocket sonar!

Unfortunately I can't seem to get any results on my Kaiser. Everything appears to work okay with the exception of putting results on the screen.

From the support page:

"If the device uses for playing and recording the same speaker or for some construction reasons the output and input uses the same connections the program will not work. It needs separate lines for input and output."

I don't know if that is the case with our Kaisers, but I really hope there is a way to get this working.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] TschonDoe:
Hello,

I'm using the HTC prophet and I just stumbled over this thread via Google.

I made some progress by running some of the tests, especially the "audio system". It seems that I can record the chirps only up to a frequency of some 5500 Hz. So I changed at Settings -> Set out signal, the frequencies between 4 and 5 KHz. I also shortened the recording time to get a more accurate picture and less echoes. And finally, at Settings -> Set scale, I set the Cut off to 120.

Now my picture is changing according to the position of my PDA. Nevertheless I get by far to much noise / echo and it's pretty useless so far^^

But the programm is really cool, maybe we can get it running together :cool:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] smuook:
I really don't see a practical application for this :confused: but I'll bite anyway...

One of the issues may be due to the mono speaker. From the authors website:

This program depends on build-in sound drivers and thus strongly from the device model. If you can’t record echo signal than as a first step you have to check the /Tests/Check recording (just speak to microphone after selecting this test. After some time you will cheer the recorded sound). If this works use the /Tests/Search offset test to find the correct value for your device. The offset value depends on the device. If you here the recorded sound you can check the analyze window. This also gives you information about the offset between the played and recorded signal. Standard value of offset value is 5000 bytes in stereo 44100 samples/s mode. In mono mode with 44100 samples/s is selected than this value is 2500 bytes. After that you can try to record echo.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] cjshrader:
Hey all,

I did some searching so it makes me suspect this isn't possible yet, but does anyone have a method to change the IMEI or MEID of the LG V30+ (Sprint, if that matters)? I need to change it and not just mask it.

The short story is I bought on on eBay but it was already tied to someone's account. The seller won't give me that person's contact info, Sprint won't tell me if there's a finance balance on it and if I can pay it off, and Sprint won't give me that person's contact info either. eBay declined my request for a refund, so now I'm just trying to see if I can make this thing usable at all.

Thanks!

Changing IMEI is illegal you know?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] cjshrader:
I've done some research and can't find anything that says it is illegal in the United States, which is where I live. I do believe it's illegal in Europe but I don't intend to use the phone there so I'm not really concerned about that.

The way I see it I legally bought a phone. I was mislead a little bit, but the phone is not reported stolen so that means the original owner sold it legally to someone else who bought it. That original owner still owes Sprint money, but that should have nothing to do with the phone itself. So I'd just like to use the phone I paid for. I have an IMEI from an older phone that went into the toilet, so I don't really see the problem with swapping the IMEI of this one out for that one.

If its google account lock some sites provide service to bypass that

Imei check status - will tell you about just that the status. Could say clean , unpaid bills anything other than clean you may have to pay to get rid of that bad status aince sprint aint helping u

Another thing when you try to activate it on your sprint account they will remind you that you will be taking over unpaid payments left by previous owner. All the times i activated sprint phones a d the rep tells me that means ill be takong over payments. And on some phones wherr the rep doesnt say anything about taking over payments means phone is paid off by previous owner.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] cjshrader:
When I put the IMEI into swappa's IMEI checker it says "Financial Eligibility - Device is not eligible for resale (financed)." When I talk to Sprint (Which I've done over a few calls and trips to the store) they tell me it can't be put on my account because it's still attached to another account, but they don't tell me why at all. They've never told me if I could just take over payments for the phone, which is interesting since I've asked specifically about that. I wonder if something else is blocking this IMEI? So far I haven't been able to reach anyone at Sprint that can tell me anything about the phone's previous owner or any financial obligations on the phone.

Do you happen to know of a different IMEI checker I should try that might give me more information?

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
I'm sorry you are out the money....

But the flaw in your logic is that 2017 $800-$900 LG V30 phone still belongs to Sprint, until paid off. The person who "sold" it to you had no right to sell property they do not own (unless they used the money to pay off the balance). So, technically, they are stealing it. The only reason it's not been "reported" stolen is Sprint is probably taking care of this in civil proceedings as opposed to criminal proceedings? They are probably getting a judgement against the person. In which case, Sprint doesn't want to deal with you because that just complicates the case.

IF the person you bought it from had used that money to immediately pay of the balance, then everything would be OK. But they probably sold for lot less than owed to Sprint. (Sprint wants customers with recurring monthly payments, they don't want to be Best Buy. The financial price of the contract is probably a LOT more than the hardware cost of the phone.)

This phone was released in October. The user probably didn't make any payments, to be honest. So you would be out not only what you paid them, but probably the full amount they owe Sprint for up to two years?

Sprint also had deals where you would get a phone, get free first year service, but then be obligated to pay for 2nd year of service. People signed a legal contract. To get out of the contract they had to pay the value of what was still left. The amount owed on this phone might not be just the cost of the phone, but a year or two of Sprint service charges. I haven't seen the contract, I really couldn't care less about Sprint --- I've helped many friends escape Sprint -- I'm just speculating why Sprint isn't being helpful with you. It seems it's more than just the phone?

One Sprint deal was to LEASE TWO PHONES. LEASE one phone, get one for free:

http://newsroom.sprint.com/lg-v30-a...e-get-one-on-us-just-38-per-month-for-two.htm

In which case, they weren't even buying the phone from Sprint over two years, they were renting it. :rolleyes:

I see this a lot with new Sprint phones sold on Craigslist and eBay -- lots of drama for some reason. Earlier this year was lots of posts for help in unlocking Sprint Galaxy S8/S8+. It's not that those model phones cannot be unlocked, it's that money was owed on them still. People were getting new Sprint phones for "free", then turning around and selling them on eBay, Craigslist. But they weren't free. They had signed a contract, and until the terms were fulfilled it was still Sprint's phones. So, it was really a scam.

In many countries, changing IMEI numbers is like changing VIN on a car. It's against the law, because either the car is stolen or some other bad intent is happening.

Contact your seller, explain the situation, and if the description didn't state the IMEI issue, or didn't state the item was AS-IS, contact paypal/ebay and open a dispute.

If it was stated, well, you knew what you where getting into!

Good luck!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] cjshrader:
I appreciate all the comments from everyone. Although I'm not sure that simply changing your IMEI is specifically illegal, I can see 100% how someone could use that information to do something illegal and therefore this forum wouldn't want to discuss it.

I'm going to continue to try to use the resources nizmoboy98 provided to me to see if I can learn any more (They haven't been working so far and have me a little nervous that they are also some form of scam...but I'll give the benefit of the doubt).

If that doesn't give me any additional worthwhile information, then I'll have to sell it for parts on eBay and be much more upfront than the seller was to me. I won't make all my money back but maybe I can make some. (The seller did say the phone was as-is but also said the only problem with it was it was "Activated on someone else's account" which didn't mean the same thing to me as it did to him) I've learned a valuable and expensive lesson about checking IMEIs in the future.

Just use some of the online services to sim unlock the phone. Screw the provider, they are all assholes.

That's if I understood correctly what you meant by "locked to another persons account"
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] cjshrader:
I appreciate that, and even though I'm paying extra for one I'm definitely thinking it's going to be the next phone I get. I've been on a Note 4 for a long time and it's on its last legs.

The IMEI is tied to that account, I don't think the SIM card would affect anything.

The purchase was through Paypal, and since eBay and Paypal are generally in lock step together. That being said, I should still take a shot, it wouldn't hurt. This is effectively a bad IMEI phone, and the seller said the problem with it was it was "activated on someone else's account." Those two things don't mean the same to me.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
He's saying there are other providers who don't care that it's a blacklisted phone. That IF you get the phone carrier unlocked through an unlock code perhaps you can then use it with another service provider.

My understanding is there's a U.S. carrier blacklist covering all four major carriers. Whether there are loopholes, I don't know. Like maybe since is not actually been reported lost/stolen?

But there's also tons of U.S. MVNOs who may or may not suscribe to that list. Those MVNOs use the major carriers, like AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint, but provide their own SIM cards.

I'm just explaining what the other person meant. What you do is your own decision.

Hey all,

Just to close this topic I called eBay just to give it one more shot (I'd already opened a case and had it denied, even after appeal). After speaking with them, they told me it's against eBay policy to sell a phone with a bad IMEI so they will actually go through with the refund. I immediately bought another version of this phone on swappa, so basically I think this is the happiest possible ending (except for the seller on eBay, who is about to have their phone back).
