[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You've made a number of basic mistakes that were completely avoidable. For your benefit, it's time to learn some lessons (the hard way in this case) before proceeding:

Wiping everything in TWRP was not a complete "accident". You deliberately (probably carelessly) ignored the message in TWRP "Wipe" section which tells you the default wipe

is the only wipe you need most of the time

. It says this for a reason. The default wipe (data, cache and Dalvik) is all you need for a "factory reset" in 99% of cases, and keeps the OS intact.

So you went into the "Advanced" wipe options. Again, it's called "Advanced" for a reason. This term implies that you shouldn't be messing with these options, unless you have some "advanced" knowledge, and know exactly what you are doing. You shouldn't be wiping

anything

, if you don't understand what it is, or what the consequences will be.

Another basic best practice: always make a TWRP "nandroid" backup before messing with anything. If you did that, you would have a backup of the stock ROM to easily revert to. It's the first thing I do after flashing TWRP. Now, if you truly wiped "everything" in TWRP, that would include internal storage and SD card, which would means your TWRP backups are also gone. But all the reason, to follow the advice I gave in the previous paragraph.

Neither do we. At least not without any detailed info. Don't just say "it didn't work", as that doesn't tell is anything. This is almost certainly pilot error, and easily fixable. Provided you give us some info. How far did you get flashing Lineage? Did it flash successfully, or not? If not, what were the error messages? If it flashed successfully, then exactly what happened next? Stuck rebooting on logo screen, or it booted but apps force closed?

Did you flash a gapps package right after flashing Lineage (which is required)?

What version number TWRP?

If you search NVIDIA's Download Center, you will find the recovery image for this device, which includes instructions on how to install it.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You need a warning message telling you that wiping system . . . would wipe the system?

Makers of TWRP assume that anyone using TWRP has some basic knowledge and would take some care before wiping things, especially in the "Advanced" section. And that even if you had no OS, you know how to restore it.

Yeah, you should stop doing stuff like that. Shortcutting the process by letting other folks do the work for you, got you were you are.

Hover the mouse cursor over the window that contains fastboot.exe. Shift+ Right click. You should see a pulldown menus appear. You should see an open "Open command prompt here".

What about this doesn't work?

I was running TWRP 3.1.1 on my Redmi 4x and i decided to update it to TWRP 3.2.1

I installed the TWRP 3.2.1 by going to recovery>install>install boot image>then install to recovery partition

After i installed it and i booted to recovery, it's already updated to TWRP 3.2.1 but my pattern for twrp is not accepted. Whenever i enter my pattern it will have an error that is failed to decrypt because of a wrong pattern. I didnt even change my pattern from 3.1.1 but somehow when i updated to 3.2.1 my pattern is not accepted.

So now i cant decrypt the internal storage.

Help please :(

[Miscellaneous Android Development] tribal1209:
Brad I have a question, is there any way to get a custom ROM on this phone? If not how come? How does it all work?

And are you with Metro PCS as well? What apps can a safely delete to get this phone as close to a stock version of android as I can? Can I seriously just wipe out EVERY metro app? Hows your phone functioning?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Senorhamburgler:
Until there is a custom recovery built, we won't have custom roms. Dont wipe out every metro app. Anything you arent sure about, look up, or just freeze the app and test results. My phone is fine except SuperSU wont work properly due to the binary being occupied, but this is the best we have so far. I debloated no problem.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TewSlo:
Root is the only thing needed, not a custom recovery. Apps like Magisk Manager can flash custom images. The reason there is no ROMs built for this device, I can tell you in my opinion there is no need for a Custom ROM. Magisk Manager has plenty of customizations available as well as many other root apps. Basically, custom recoveries are obsolete, it is not needed for gaining root access nor flashing files. Magisk can do it as well as Flashfire.

Okay, after messing around with it a few, I found that once it goes off into fastboot... my computer can't recognize it anymore?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tge101:
Do I need to unlock the bootloader first? I have it rebooted into fastboot and it's giving me instructions to do that, but won't let me push the boot image. If I do need to unlock it, does it wipe my device?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TewSlo:
Yes, that is what OEM unlock means. In doing so you do need to unlock the bootloader.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tge101:
Just wanted to make sure but does it wipe it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TewSlo:
Yes, when you use "fastboot oem unlock" it unfortunately erases all data. One of our forum members is working on a TWRP at the moment that might be available today. You could wait to do this so you can create a backup.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tge101:
That'd be cool. But, wouldn't the bootloader still need to be unlocked for me to flash TWRP?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TewSlo:
I'm an idiot, yes LOL. Sorry, just got to work and I am tired you are correct. So, if you would like I suggest just using my tutorial. I believe there is ways of using LG backup to save most of your user data.

Lol I like how I posted the answer and yea ignore this guy I would too except I can guarantee I have bricked un bricked broke revived lol more phones than anyone possibly in the country lol realistically tho I have at least 1000 phones or. Well at least one little piece somewhere off one. Without being a broker for these things. I had this same problem a gang of time. Tecknight try this code for ussd so if its useful for u works on all lg phones for tmo metro haven't seen any others. *#546368#*210# other guy use 212 instead but I'm curious there. My g4 which was sold as 811 had 815 and 810 parts in it and 810 and 815 worked. It didn't howevr work with 811. Other g4 811s I've had worked only for 811. Can't remember developers name who's all about g4s he's from Germany having massive network issues here last like week along with life issues so I'm not really on and avaikable or able to look lolol, but I saw he thinks T-Mobile gets broken phones and Frankensteins them together. Which part of phone is reading used code? Radio or mobo or Sim card ?? Like I know some will do codes with Sim some won't my g890 did for the longest time after in took sim out but now doesn't . fun fact on a newly reinstalled pc I have according to emsisoft 9823 detected suspicious files. Newly installed. Total scanned 108421. My phones' been going down my Mac went down recently and no PCs will boot this is totally miss posted but that's what I'm dealing with. Network infected...?

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77518872&postcount=133

about a month and a half ago. It does work on my Aristo 2.

The Aristo 2 is not a T-Mobile phone, it's Metro PCS. Maybe that's why it's not working

What kind of menu does *#546368#*810# bring up for you ?

---------- Post added at 02:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 AM ----------

Thanks for the response on the Aristo 2 Plus image request.

I had 2 generous individuals volunteer their time, so I now have a complete image of a stock Aristo 2 plus.

I am working on a .kdz less flashing solution for an Aristo 2 plus.

Since it will need write access to all partitions, it will require root, so I am setting it up to run under TWRP.

That means if you have an Aristo 2 plus, you will be better able to recover from any type of phone issues if you are rooted and running TWRP.

Consider this:

If you have an Aristo 2 and disaster befalls your phone, you can always run LG Bridge or LGUP and restore your phone to stock.

This will work whether or not your phone was rooted.

If you have an Aristo 2 plus and are not rooted, LG Bridge and LGUP are basically useless, short of using a hacked LGUP to crossflash the phone into an Aristo 2.

But if you have an Aristo 2 plus and have TWRP installed, you will soon have a way to restore your phone to stock.

I will be looking for Aristo 2 plus owners to test the flashing procedure in a few days.

Anyone with a broken Aristo 2 plus that has TWRP still installed will be given preference.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] HighOnLinux:
Is this root method still efficient enough up to this day? My friend requested me to root his phone, but since i haven't owned an LG phone for a good minute, i wouldn't want to brick my friend's phone nor make him lose data he shouldn't of lost by mistake (yes i know i'm posing this risk to him and he fully acknowledges it as well). I believe his phone's software build is the most recent one and he has the MetroPCS variant of the device i think as well. Any response will be really appreciated!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NonStickAtom785:
Hey HighOnLinux. Tecknight has all the updated tutorials. Just go to his profile or google Tecknight LG Aristo 2 Tutorials. The root method is pretty simple. All you need is adb and fastboot. You use adb to boot into the bootloader, but make sure oem unlock and usb debugging is enabled in the settings. When you get to the boot-loader, type fastboot flash unlock. Then your ready to root it. If you don't want to install the custom recovery just flash the modded boot.img and install majisk manager. If you don't like majisk manager then you might want to install twrp recovery and the flash supersu instead.

This is all Aristo 2 plus stock partition images (firmware X212TA-10j), except those containing unique information (IMEI, etc)

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410932744536991486

This is a utility to flash said images from TWRP

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410932744536995610

here is how you run utility:

Extract both .zip files to nokdz folder on MicroSD.

Put MicroSD in phone.

Obtain shell on phone using adb shell or TWRP Advanced>Terminal

cd /external_sd/nokdz

sh nokdz.sh <flashprofile> <0 or 1>

0=Test mode (does not flash parts)

1=Live mode (does flash)

possible flash profiles:

stock.fp = flashes to stock, overwriting TWRP with stock recovery

note: sh nokdz.sh stock.fp 1 is equivalent to LGUP of a .kdz to stock. Since the Aristo 2 plus has no .kdz files, this is as close as you can get.

root.fp = flashes patched boot image and TWRP to recovery, all other parts stock

twrp.fp = flashes twrp to recovery, all else stock

most profiles backup boot and recovery partitions before flashing

Personally, I wouldn't flash stock to my phone, I would use the twrp.fp profile as it leaves you options.

If after flashing twrp.fp, everything is happy (system booting properly, etc), then you can flash to stock if you really want to.

QUALCOMM HS_USB QDLOADER 9008

I believe I'm stuck at there is no such thing as 9008 diag Hs_usb mode btw I never copied actual driver but I do know 100 percent it said 9008, not 9006, diag mode

Fastboot Problem

Hi All,

I have a problem to follow the guide, since I can't go on Fastboot Mode :\

After allowing OEM and Debug on phone, when I input comand "reboot bootloader" my phone reboots in "normal" way.

is there a motivation for that?

thank u :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NonStickAtom785:
Um that's wierd. Try to type "reboot fastboot". If that doesn't work try to switch MTP connection to charging. That might solve it.

I'm here to help.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] valerio.piccinini:
I tried with REBOOT FASTBOOT in different way: charge connection, MTP connection, MIDI connection, but alwasy phone reboots "normally" :\

To do that I have done:

1) installed all drivers (in fact If I type ADB DEVICES I can find my device, so I know it is connected, but impossible to go in fastboot.

2) use ADB exe file download from this website

what am I doing wrong?

Sorry for my Eng, I'm Italian.

thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NonStickAtom785:
It doesn't appear to me that you are doing anything wrong. Have you tried factory resetting your phone and doing it over again?

Or try to do disable USB Debugging and OEM Unlock, reboot your device, then Enable both again and allow ADB Connection.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] valerio.piccinini:
I tried:

1) disable OEM-Debug --> reboot --> able OEM-Debug --> reboot bootloader or reboot fastboot = normal reboot

2) factory resetting --> reboot bootloader or reboot fastboot = normal reboot

3) i tried with manual method (volume down and pluggin USB) = normal launch.

I don't know if I am "special" or my phone is :D

is there a way to chehck if I am doing something wrong?

It is first root for me, but I did not expect problems at this step..

thank you!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Reckless459:
Ok so I've searched all the threads to no avail. I have used this method on another aristo 2 and it worked flawlessly. Now i'm trying to do it on a different phone (aristo 2 X210MA) and it refuses to flash anything. I've tried everything in all the threads. i keep getting Data Transfer Failed (Unknown Error). I even bricked it trying different methods. I'm also getting the security start-up screen after wiping user-data and i never turned that option on. So i'm hoping that someone may have a solution to my predicament and we can all laugh at how its probably some simple little over site on my part.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NonStickAtom785:
Thanks for asking. I have the same device variant. A lot of people have issues with it because of the encryption. If your going to flash any thing you need to turn on OEM unlocking and USB Debugging of course to get to bootloader.

If you haven't already you need to type

fastboot flash unlock

Then you need to make sure that you have TecKnight's boot.img and TWRP recovery in order to flash anything.

The user-data is encrypted so when you boot up your device it will say that it's encrypted. If you have TWRP already then you can try flashing my Rom or TeckNight's rom. Both of our updater-scripts remove encryption upon Installation. TeckNight's rom is a little of 1.8 GB but it does a full firmware flash. Make sure also that the boot.img your using is for the device.
