Does it stick?
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
OP and 2nd post updated, V2 is out. Should help out alot with the odd issues some users were having. Also, per the AMA, aptx and aptxHD will more than likely roll out with the final release of oreo, so this should be unnecessary more sooner than later.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] ftn1975:
Did aptx and aptxHD roll out with the 8.1 Beta?
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Nope, I got a fix for 8.1 coming.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] ftn1975:

Random question. Can I do this without a custom recovery/magisk by manually applying the edits to lib and build.prop? I have root, but can't install a custom recovery with a locked bootloader on my s8+
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Im sure you can, but id hate for something to happen to your s8+.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] joseph0042:
Nvm. Forgot the requirement is Oreo beta. Can't root that yet on my US S8+ lol. I'm still on Nougat for root.

I think you could place them, and it would be fine, im just nervous of Sammy's and how they would react.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] jamesthomas128:
FYI, if anyone is curious, this mod also enables LDAC for devices (only Sony at this point) that support it. It supports all LDAC bitrates along with an adaptive setting (default).

This I great news for people with compatible devices as LDAC is superior even to AptXHD (at least by the numbers....your ears may not know the difference).
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
Ldac is the Sony deal right?
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] jamesthomas128:
Yeah, it started off as proprietary to Sony but now it is opening for other manufacturers. I doubt many others will adopt it, though, with Aptx HD being pretty good
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] whymoo:
Is there a way to toggle low latency mode for aptx?
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] aer0zer0:
No, it's there or it's not. I didn't see aptx with low latency anywhere. You videos turning into Chinese movies or what?
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] whymoo:
Funny you should mention Chinese because the reason I wanted to try it was for pubg mobile.

[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] minotauri:
I thought LDAC was already supported in the Oreo Betas. At least thats what people were saying on reddit without rooting/magisk.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] jamesthomas128:
LDAC support is baked into Oreo but it still requires the OEM to pay license fees to get the drivers. You can see it under developer options even if you don't have the drivers. This is the same as Aptx.

Whether or not essential had the drivers in the other betas I cannot say as I did not use them.
[Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods] freedomli:

Is LDAC going to work with this module on Huawei Honor View 10 or it is just for Sony phones? (I want to use Sony LDAC enabled headphones).

[MX Player] yjcbn:
MX Player mixed some Cantonese translations (which should be presented in the “Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong)” locale) with Mandarin translations (which should be presented in the “Traditional Chinese (Taiwan)” locale) in both “Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong)” locale and “Traditional Chinese (Taiwan)” locale.

E.g.

“嘅” (which is a Cantonese exclusive character) should not appear since my setting is “Traditional Chinese (Taiwan)”. “「NEW」標貼的時期” is the correct Mandarin translation.

Can you check if you merged the translations correctly and fix it?
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
HI,

Our team will look into the issue. We will try to fix the translations as soon as possible.

Another method

I am not an expert in this area, but just wanted to share a method that worked for me to convert ROM of XT1710-08 China variant phone (with Android 7.1.1 ZUI interface) to Oreo 8.0.0 US retail version

Basically I followed the instructions from below thread with some changes.

https://xdaforums.com/z2-play/how-to/how-to-manually-update-moto-z2p-to-t3677357

I had already unlocked bootloader and not sure if that was really needed for this. (Make sure you have USB drivers and latest adb/fastboot utilities and verify fastboot is working with the phone)

1. Using fastboot, flashed the 8.0.0 Chinese ROM from https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/albus_retcn/official/RETCN/

Please note, system.img and oem.img may be split into multiple files, so update the .bat file accordingly.

2. next, flashed the US retail version from https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/albus/official/RETAIL/

Here I skipped the modem related images (NON-HLOS.bin ,fsg.mbn , dsp adspso.bin , and did not erase modemst1 and modemst2) - see below commands from the bat file.

3. Reboot to recovery and do factory reset. This is important. For me the the phone went into a boot loop, until I did this reset.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] wolfgart:
So does anyone know if LG is affected by the newest cpu bugs?

Qualcomm will use that A75 core for its Snapdragon 845, while other Snapdragon lines list the A53 and A72, which are only vulnerable to the two Spectre variants. As we said, Qualcomm uses a mix of custom and off-the-shelf cores; they are probably affected by Spectre, and maybe Meltdown

https://developer.arm.com/support/security-update

Spectre can be a hope for all of us ....

TARGET: GAIN ROOT on Bootloader locked devices too

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Do either of these bugs give elevated privileges or just siphon off cache information for passwords and stuff?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] SHosp:
It gives access to everything

The vulnerabilities give malicious code access to anything stored within the kernel memory which includes passwords/privileges. They could also easily inject code into kernel memory space which could do just about anything without anybody knowing about it.

January 2018 security updates blocks the vulnerability but at this time, it's only available on Google devices.

---------- Post added at 03:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:45 PM ----------

Yes, all Snapdragon processors are currently affected by this.. It's an interesting concept to utilize an exploit to gain root access. I could also see this being applied to jailbreak an iPhone and potentially port Android over to it.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Then we don't necessarily want it blocked until we use it for our own needs, i.e. root. ;)

Sent from my official carrier unlocked LG V30+ US998
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] SHosp:
The theoretical explanation of how each exploit is performed is outlined on this page: https://meltdownattack.com/

Maybe one of the ROM/Mod developers would know more about being able to achieve this but it's past my pay grade.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Honestly Annoying:
the problem with bugs like this is the limitation that /init gives to exploited root shells. dm-verity is also an issue as it blocks the su binary from being dropped into the correct location, so a persistent root is pretty much out of the question. the only thing i could see coming from something like this is a "tethered" root which would be run on a computer every time a user wanted root access. i no longer own LG devices so would not be able to test on my own but would still be interested in working on this with others!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Tinkerer_:
Adding Spectre to the list pointing to a nine to twelve month wait to buy this phone:

1. Spectre, Krack (Jan 2018 Security patch level, will take at least six months to reach V30 factory installed OS, probably Oreo).

2. Bootloader unlock for US998, TWRP and root with "bugs" ironed out.

3. Display problems, may see improvements over the first year of production.

4. Substantial price drops, probably after nine months or when the V40 is about to launch.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Your list is mostly bogus, with all due respect.

3) I own three of these phones and there are no display problems in my daily use.

4) I paid average $597.33 for two V30 and one V30+ -- both official "open market" US998 from B&H Photo. Less than $600 each. Yes, I used

$400 LG Gift card rebate

, and B&H Photo gave me partial refund AFTER the sale on the V30+. A friend sold me her extra LG V30 at her "gift card" price of $600. She bought two just to get the gift card discount and split the cost with me. But that's three bootloader unlock eligible (will be) V30/V30+ for less than $600.

I just helped a friend buy a new Verizon LG V30 for $675 on eBay. Still brand new in the box. That was even before the recent price reduction from B&H Photo. There's even better deals on eBay, but that one was totally new, never been used -- and she needed Verizon branded, not open market.

Current price is

$675/$775 at B&H Photo for the North America open market 64GB V30/128GB V30+

. (I paid less due to gift card rebate.) But not sure how much less price you expect a phone that competes with the Samsung Note 8 to be?

What is your acceptable price for a phone with these specs/features?

2) The

LG G6 got bootloader unlock by end of June and had TWRP, root, ROMs by July

. The

eligible European LG V30/V30 already have bootloader unlock

,

TWRP

and

one ROM

. North America "open market" LG V30/V30+ will soon join the party. After that, the pace will really pick up.

The variants on the official

LG Bootloader Unlock list

are the only ones guaranteed root, which we've said since September. It's that way with the LG G6 and is that way with the LG V30. While ways are being investigated for North America carrier-branded variants, and there's always dev magic, there's no need to wait a year to buy this phone.

1) All security patches can be installed by devs on custom ROMs, just like they always are. This is XDA.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Tinkerer_:
Good information.

But:

The evidence from the multitude of users suggests a problem with the display. Unlikely that that one user's 3 units are representative of the population, the distribution of attributes is most likely not random or uniform with this. The burn in (by whatever term) is real, I saw it on units in three T-Mobile stores. That may be related to extended full-bright operation, but the problem is being worked to reduce severity, results likely in months or year (s).

The price drops should eventually reach nearly 40%, toward the one year point. Regarding the $400 off a second LG device required buying a second device, that is not a true discount but rather a loss-leader promotion to move unsold inventory piling up. Ebay is a fleamarket with distinct drawbacks and risks for the buyer, compared to Amazon or B&H. No, the true substantial discounts without gotchas and catches are still 9-12 months away.

There is no bootloader unlock for US998. Period. Who knows when, if ever, that may be released. And no guarantee of root after that, either. We've been reading predictions in this forum, of bootloader unlock a few weeks after US998 release and root a week after that, but the US998 has been shipping for over a month now and no bootloader unlock. Given that Oreo is coming, it may be that bootloader unlock is on hold until Oreo is shipping on factory units, who knows. And on that point, another reason to wait to buy: TWRP and root for N will not work for O, that will require a whole new TWRP and root.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
There will be bootloader unlocked for the US998. Period.

Yes, there will be guarantee of root after bootloader unlock for the US998. Saying otherwise shows you really don't know what you are talking about. Maybe you don't understand WHY it's called the LG Developer Bootloader unlock list? As I said, your list is mostly bogus.

(The LG G6 took six weeks after release before bootloader unlock. A "month" is nothing to LG apparently. They can't walk and chew gum at the same time.)

You still didn't answer what you think is YOUR acceptable price for a premium device with these specs? Apparently you think it should be priced less than OnePlus crap with no QHD, no Qi wireless, no IP rating? Sure, I'm all for lower price -- give it to me for $1 and I won't complain --

but $675/$775 current pricing is quite fair for brand new "open market" V30/V30+ which will be eligible for bootloader unlock. Or you didn't know about those prices?

By the way, the gift card thing was BEFORE the open market variants were even released. The deadline to buy was December 2. So, it wasn't to move inventory piling up, at least for those "better" models. It was merely the holiday incentives other manufacturers were also giving for Black Friday/Christmas sales. I only qualified because I PRE-ORDERED and paid full price. (B&H Photo also shipped on December 1, before the official December 5 release date, just to make sure. Very nice of them. But it was my preorder "purchase" that still would have qualified me.)

And no a multitude of users don't have problems with the display. The LG V30 display has intensely low brightness, compared to even the LG Pixel 2 XL display -- because Google made their minimum brightness much higher. Some V30 displays at extremely low brightness have cloudiness, but most users do not use that kind of setting. I don't. Pixel 2 XL doesn't because Google won't let the display have that same low brightness. So, go bash Pixel, it's the exact same display. Other OEMs pull the same tricks with OLED displays (setting minimum brightness higher), but LG doesn't. And it's only some displays, while others have super clear very low brightness. For colors to pop you need brightness set higher anyways.

Now, I'm not talking about obvious flaws in OLED panels that slip through. IF you can see banding even at 20, 25%, then something is wrong.

There is an old saying: "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush".

There is no guarantee of bootloader unlock. Even if it comes eventually, no guarantee of root. (The Samsung S8 SD vs. Exynos thing is a perfect illustration.)

Everything else is just talk. Another old saying: " Talk is cheap ".

I have an LG G pad x 8.0 TMO V521 build number NRD90U updated to Nougat fully updated as of jan 1st 2018 with no modification, no root, no open bootloader basically got it from store kept up to date via lg bridge.

The problem in a failed attempt to downgrade I believe I flashed my recovery with it having some password I didn't realize was there it made it to 10% has password error and stops most of my recovery images are not recognized when looking for them from recover device menu the 1 that is wont go past 10% device only reads at 1%. After realizing it was at a point I could not do anything from I disconnected the battery to preserve what battery i had left hoping I didn't totally mess everything up. Hard reset sends to update screen and boot sends to upgrade screen but device wont accept any update That I've tried.I have searched what to me seems like all the current threads with no luck finding what I thought was useful info since most refer to devices with open boot loaders or twrp or other things installed on the device that I don't have. Willing to except that I may have missed the thread I actually needed though by it being for similar process that sounded wrong so if I did even a push in the right direction would be a world of help.

My question is can this be recovered and how or am I SOL and should just go smash it with a big hammer for the frustration its been.

This problem fixed itself the next time I attempted to fix it with lg bridge and the update recovery kept saying i wasnt connected to iternetand making me click retry every 2 percent for about 45 minutes but i eventually got there and it wouldnt even do that last time so yay thanks all who may have attemped to understand my problem even if you never got to a solution for me if any admin wish to delete this thread your welcome to or if anyone knows a better solution for future occurences still not a fan of the method I had work.
