The guy from eBay was great getting it out of Qualcomm 9008 mode but he flashed 998 on H931 that's why. Bootloader is locked so I can't wipe user partition. I can try "fastboot boot twrp.img" but it comes up with " Your device has failed a routine safety check and will not boot.

There's no DL mode for me...the guy that helps get it out of Qualcomm QDLoader 9008 said I'd have to find a way to put it into 9008n mode again.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] KennynGGG:
OK so the guy from eBay used his JTAG to help me after I put the phone back to 9008 manually. So at the moment both my V30 and V35 are out of 9008.

The V35 originally was ATT variant and when it came up in DL mode LGUP recognized it as LMV350AWM...I couldn't find any AWM to download besides ULM so I flashed ULM and it's now bootloops with the Safety warning display. At least I see some picture from it since I bought it lolz..

The V30 is in download mode now and being recognized by LGUP as US99810a ( I bought this used and the seller posted it as ATT) so learning from the V35 should I go with what LGUP recognizes and flash US99820b ???

or go with ATT H931??? , I'm not sure if the guy sold it to me knew what it was...

If I can't get them out of softbrick then we'lll just have to use the test point and put them back to 9008

My other option is to use LG Mobile Support tool and do a update recovery based on my IMEI
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
For the v30 -- yes, go with us99820B.

That's what I did and it's up and running with my Tmobile sim so I guess it's truly unlocked :) Thanks.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
US998 20b is useful for bootloader unlock. After you do that, you can update to current US998 20e. If you don't care about bootloader unlock and root, you can go update to 20e now.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] KennynGGG:
Oh I just unlocked it following your guide and flashed twrp too...It's prompting me to set it up again after data wipe from unlocing...but that's going to have to wait as I'm trying to find ATT firmware for my V35....I read somewhere that V35 ATT Variant only gets update if they're on ATT network otherwise LG doesn't provide any...
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Now that you have TWRP on your V30, just flash this US998 20E TWRP flashable zip file:

https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/development/rom-fw-us99820e-twrp-zip-t3868415

Here you go. For V35 (which is not a JOAN V30 variant -- it's a completely different phone) you want the ones that say "open" -- which means they are not locked to a carrier.

https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-lmv350em-firmwares/firmwares/

Top link is for North America Google Fi variant.

Bottom link is for Central/South America -- but if you use that, you do NOT want Claro. You want the other one (carrier unlocked) MIA.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] KennynGGG:
Thanks again, I had it just didn't know I could cross flash but there's a reddit forum that says we could. So it's all good now :) back to rooting the other one.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Just to clarify, you do mean cross flashing V35 firmware over other V35 firmware, right?

Also there's no way to bootloader unlock and root V35 that I'm aware of.

V35 (JUDYP) with Snapdragon 845 and mostly LG G7 (JUDYN) internals in a V30 frame. It is NOT part of the V30 (JOAN) series. It just sort of looks like a V30.

You probably know all this, just making sure.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] KennynGGG:
Oh no I have 2 of them. The V35 which I should have sent to LG for warranty service but it had some cracks in the back so I kept it. to change the back cover but not a lot of option for V35 back cover yet so I bought one off of eBay and it doesn't fit very snuggly. I was going to get the V30 to use while I send the other one in for service but it too got into 9008 mode ( bought from the same source on eBay but good deals from him though). Was going to mail in my V35 a couple days back and let LG charge me whatever it is they will. Then I found the guy on eBay who could do it remotely for V30 then when he finished I asked if he could give the V35 a try since they're almost the same and he did. The main trick is whatever that caused the original 9008 could'nt be fix. Had to manually short the 2 test points on the board to get it going. Took some trials and errors but we got it in the end.

Now that they're both done the V30 is much nicer looking, the other one got a back cover that would bulge up cos it's bigger than the frame lolz.

[Touch Cruise General] BadTasteUK:
Hi All, I've scoured this forum and the net, but haven't come across what I'm looking for yet, so hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

I'm looking for a today plugin that shows network operator information such as

- Network Name (e.g. O2-UK)

- Nework Code (e.g. 234 10)

- Cell Broadcast (e.g. 01753)

- Operator Logo (one that changes with the network you're on)

I have the HTC home which shows network name, but actually didn't update as I whilst roaming in Paris last week, as I travelled between networks.

Does such a thing exist?

Cheers,

GT.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Psycake:
Hey there!

I was browsing the forums and stuff, and found various guides to do so, and some do it differently that others.

So what's the best method to root a Moto G5 Plus?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] LayWhoZayHer:
Magisk I believe?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Knxed_:
Hey everyone,

I need some advice on the G5 when my battery is on 20% or 10% I want to take a photo of an object but as I tap on the capture button the phone shuts down instantly without warning and then will reboot this will happen every time I tap on capture on the camera . I can do normal things such as send texts, calls, social media all those I can do without a problem but its just the camera that seems to do it which is extremely irritating. Is there anyway of getting a fix around this? Your help would be appreciated! :good:

Thanks
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] ReVanTis:
It's probably the battery. Powering camera sensor draws a lot of current which could cause a sudden huge drop in voltage and trigger the reboot.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] thunderc8:
Yeah I'm starting to get some random crashes when my battery is low i guess it's the battery after 1.5 year of use and 500 quick charges the battery is starting to fail.

I bought 2 battery from eBay but they don't hold as the original did.

First battery holds about 2 hours sot and the second 2.5 on stock 20s
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] ReVanTis:
I would suggest buy OEM ones.

It might not be as good as the stock ones, but since LG no longer makes them, all available stock batteries are either used or refurbished or old/degraded.

At least you can get brand-new OEM batteries.

I just received a notification in my status bar for an update. The thing is, I've already applied the January update earlier this month. Anybody else getting this? Just curious why my phone thinks it needs to update...? I'm bootloader unlocked, twrp installed, Magisk 15.3 rooted and have the latest Flash kernel installed.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] jascolli:
No from the Google store.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] JRJ442:
I bought mine from Verizon and got it today too. I flashed stock back to take the OTA but it failed a few times. I was thinking it was a patched bootloader since they didn't do that with the January update. But apparently not if yours is from Google. There were some random lockscreen touch issues reported. It could possibly be a fix for that.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] fix-this!:
Sure hope it's not to lock the bootloader. My Verizon pixel 2 comes tomorrow and I want to unlock and root. I doubt it's preloaded already. Can anyone confirm you can unlock the bootloader with the new update? :confused:

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] stevexce:
So this update only for verizon Pixel 2 ?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] b00ster23:
Yes, appears so. The update brings you to this point. 8.1.0 (OPM2.171019.016, Jan 2018, Verizon) I'm assuming all of this update was to patch the critical_lock adb command to unlock the bootloader on VZW ONLY phones, on the Dec/Jan build.

https://developers.google.com/android/ota
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] djer34:
ya i can't imagine them pushing an update to verizon only phones unless it was tied to locking down the bootloader. The timing seems too coincidental. I imagine there will be some verizon users out there that will flash this and be the guinea pig to see if this relocks bootloaders that are already locked. For now....notification disabled.....
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] b00ster23:
We've already established that this update will not "relock" the bootloader in itself. However, we have also established that the bootloader command that was used will no longer work, after this update has been applied.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] mikeprius:
still no OTA and nothing on the Google page. What is this update ?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] jascolli:
I think you will only get notice of the OTA if you have a Verizon SIM. It's a Verizon only update and is indeed now listed on the Pixel 2 factory image page.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] b00ster23:
the truth is out there
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] b00ster23:
Others have gotten the update notification. Although it really only affects the VZW Pix2
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] mikeprius:
Ok, mine is non Verizon. Wouldn't be surprised if it was just a network optimization issue or something.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] enzyne:
I flashed it over my already unlocked pixel 2 on verizon and everything is all good. :)
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] b00ster23:
Perhaps, but we also know it blocks VZW phones from running the ADB command lock_critical :(
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] JRJ442:
I just fastbooted the image zip since the radio was the same. I edited the Android text file that's inside the image zip so it would proceed with the old bootloader that's still unlockable, and not the new one. I'll have to do that on every security patch now. But it only takes a few minutes.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Why are you doing this?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] JRJ442:
Because I want to keep the bootloader that can be unlocked using the fastboot critical_lock command. Also, trying to take the OTA kept repeatedly failing for me. Like 5 times even after I had flashed stock. I was thinking the OTA failed because I had unlocked it, and bought it from VZW. Maybe it was just being quirky. Either way, I circumvented it.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] b00ster23:
I had wondered about a very similar approach, but hadn't had a phone (just my daily driver's) that I wanted to test on. To me, this is a HUGE step moving forward in possibly leveraging a way to unlock the PIX2 moving forward. I'm wondering if it makes sense to post a Guide on exactly what you did so that others can take advantage of your finding? And possibly continue some development from others here like [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION]

So to completely understand you here, you have a Verizon PIX2 on .016, with the ability to lock/unlock the bootloader? You used the OTA posted by Google correct?

If so, I wonder if someone would be willing to test your work... Oh I dunno.... Ahem [MENTION=2659927]bobby janow[/MENTION]
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
I know why you did it, but why would you want to do it is the question. Once you're unlocked that's it, done. OTA? Sideload no? What am I missing?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] b00ster23:
Perhaps he is looking to verify the ability, and to assist with others that may be caught....maybe it's just good ole' fashioned curiosity. ;) LOL
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
[MENTION=7291175]b00ster23[/MENTION] you need an unlocked bl to do that process. I never unlock my bl. And besides I'm now on .016 so it's impossible anyway.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] b00ster23:
Wait, you MUST have an unlocked BL to sideload an OTA?

**EDIT** Oh wait...I may have read this wrong. [MENTION=3520986]JRJ442[/MENTION] Are you saying you modified the OTA.ZIP file to insert the old bootloader?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Ok that's fine, I get that curiosity thought. But how would that help anyone else? My point being why would you ever want to relock the bl and then unlock it again? Fickle?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] JRJ442:
Well main reason being the OTA kept failing repeatedly. I had already unlocked the bootloader so I figured being a VZW bought Pixel, that was why. Also I want to keep the bootloader that still has that bootloader exploit available. I know once it's unlocked, that's it until you physically run the command to relock. I have no plans to relock and never will, so that had nothing to do with it. Besides, maybe someone will figure out something new with the .66 bootloader since the one exploit was found. On the 6p someone had an altered bootloader available. Maybe something will come for the Pixel 2 someday. I'd just rather have the available exploit if needed for something like that.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
He "fastbooted the image.zip" which is not an OTA sideload. And doesn't the OTA.zip check versions before verification and installation? Also, how long can you keep the old bootloader before stuff starts to fail? How many posts have you seen that asks, "did you update your bootloader?" To me, once you unlock then stay unlocked unless you have a device like the Google version which you can flip any way you want it with a full wipe.

I kind of misspoke before when I said I never unlock my bl. I have a 5x which I've been known to lock and relock on a whim. But it's been a while on a DD that I run unlocked. And full disclosure.. lol.. I gifted my wife my Pixel from last year. The GPS just crapped out a few months ago, I mean I could hardly get a lock on my apps such as Strava. I called VZW and they shipped me a new one which works flawlessly again. But the toggle of oem unlock was active for some reason. Now I didn't unlock it but I did flip the switch which really is insecure but.. well my wife hardly uses the device and figured it was relatively safe. I'll probably flip it back over now that I know it's the unlocked version and that I can do it at anytime. Just sayin' I'm not all on the straight and narrow.

---------- Post added at 07:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 AM ----------

I get that. I suppose it would be good for testing or some command functions that the old bl has. However, I doubt that there will be another screw up like this in the future. Look at the XL, nothing at all for them even now. And just how long can you keep the old bl before OTAs will fail or do something screwy to your system? Bootloader mismatches are one of the only ways to brick a device that is un-brickable. I'd just be careful and keep it to yourself for now. There are noobs lurking that will undoubtedly brick their devices.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] b00ster23:
Ahhhhh...Gotcha. Probably should have read closer. When he said "fastbooted the image zip" I was thinking of the OTA "image" with a modification. Which like you said, can run the risk of hard-bricking your phone. Not a good place to be. The reason I brought XDABBEB in on the conversation was that he/she has had success in the past rebuilding the bootstack on the LG G3. I know there are significant differences, but thought it may start a conceptual conversation to perhaps springboard from. With what I'm reading as well, there are a lot more security features and signing in place to prohibit the exact procedure I'm proposing... so probably a one-time opportunity for most.

And to your point about noobs...yeah plenty of that here too. However, seeing that the name of this forum is "XDA DEVLOPERS" I would say there is a fair amount of risk of doing anything that is 'developed' here. But understand that not everyone comprehends that either.

Hello, I just purchased the Doopro P1 Pro and C1 Pro.

Both devices running Qualcomm SoC Snapdragon 210 MSM8909.

Performance is quite well, the system stable.

The cameras are poor on the P1 Pro, quite well on the C1 Pro.

But the good things are the batteries with 4200 mAh.

However I am facing a too low Mic gain.

The calls are Ok in normal environment, but I want to increase the Mic gain.

For MTK SoC I know there are several Engineering Tool Apps.

But as for Qualcomm, I did not find any tool to increase the Mic gain.

Can someone help on the Mic gain improvement?

Is there a hidden code, or can it be done with root access?

Doopro is company of Doogee. The enduser support is inexistent, they dont reply on e-mails.

Thank you!
