I did check and I will try this to format the microsd card on G3 I have as its recognized there.... I believe it was formatted vfat but will retry. Somehow G4 H812 in recovery mode is not able to sense the presence of inserted card.

Was trying to focus my energy on getting sound back... and strangely got it back using latest MM Modem from ATT G4 H810... this could be due to mixup of system/etc/lib/.. files I copied using ES FIle Explorer when I was trying to make rooky stupid copy.

For now, my status is that H812 is H815 (even to LGMENU hidden menu- *#LGMENU#*815#) with H81022f modem. Sound works, Camera works, Camcorder doesNOT, Call drops out of service when using dialer, Modeminfo/PhoneInformation app crashes- so I cannot reset that portion of lg setting; Ext-MicroSD still a pain (so I started using 100G Gdrive)

Now I will try flashing V29a stock zip to see if I can get root back as for now, as steadfasterX suggested to flash system+boot+modem only using fastboot...Clean the userdata by <fastboot format userdata> ... flash recovery if you loose it during the process <fastboot flash recovery TWRP.zip>

More later..zzzzz

Beware:- I Did try erasing modemst1/st2, and I had to get UNLOCK code to unlock the device... so its something to be aware of.

steadfasterX Are these files which are not written over by any of UsU Roms?

---------- Post added at 08:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 PM ----------

Does this mean UsU might work on H810 (w/ H81022f and ARB 3) ???

I might be able to test it if I can get H812 to work...:fingers-crossed:

[G4 General] steadfasterX:
glenrocks.. thats EXACTLY what I wrote in BIG CAPITAL LETTERS and in bold and last but not least even in red color.

i guess these are only STOCK related but not sure

no. I talk about reverting UsU.

Have u ever tried to format the sdcard in TWRP?

[G4 General] mwahahaa:
Just an update on my UsU nightmare story after trying to unlock a rooted LP H812...

I received my device back from LG with MM on it. With some trepidation I attempted UsU unlock again and was successful without any problems this time around. I am now rooted on stock MM with full functionality, and I think I will stay there for a while as I am not 100% confident that AOSCP Nougat won't pose some problem or another for me.

So, for anyone with a Canadian H812 who is on the fence because of past problems, rest assured that things will be okay as long as you make sure not to start UsU while on Lollipop (as has been updated in the OP). Thanks again, steadfasterx.
[G4 General] steadfasterX:
well just wait 30 min. I will re-up a full one without any need to mod anything

I have no idea what I should do with ppl like you... now you clicked on h818 unlock? .. oh man.. you're misleading ppl just bc of clicking stupid around.

pls never unlock.. I would be too scared about what you would do if ...

regarding serial : Read the FAQ

regarding no SIM.. well have you taken a backup with SALT as suggested in the guide?

If so flash the modem file in fastboot:

fastboot flash modem modem.bin

(or modem.img if its named like that)

Then flash just the baseband package again TWRP and try again.
[G4 General] mertklic:
It has modem file. I will do what you said! Thanks again :good:
[G4 General] steadfasterX:
and tell the ROM owner to remove the modem file from his package..

its absolute bad practice and no custom ROM should have that inside.

[G4 General] keeponjammin:
Thanks for the kinds words. It sucks but i'll survive. Mostly doing this since I was intrigued by your work. I should have another lg g4 lying around. Will report back after that one is unlocked [will take it easy on the flashing this time I promise!]

Hi SteadfasterX.

After a reboot the sim is working, i've just edited the above post ( sorry, you were faster than the phone recognizing SIM ).

Can you tell me what to flash , and in what order? I flashed baseband 29a and bootloader 29a. Then it warned me i need to flash 'H815 usu zip'

H815 usu zip does not exist? :p

ok took a bit longer but i wanted to test the ZIPs first:

FULL Nougat ROM for any H815(!!!!) which has ARB = 0:

Just choose the right one for your ARB and flash it in TWRP.

[G4 General] steadfasterX:
you haven't used the latest version of SALT!!

and your PC seems to have no internet connection so SALT couldn't warn you about the new version:

SALT v3.9 is the latest and contains important fixes

first bootloader (if you have ARB 0 only!!)

then the baseband package (baseband package is the usu zip mentioned there)

[G4 General] Makifylmz:
No need to rush. Thank you again. I'm very appreciated. Still, do i need to flash " N modem and Baseband" after flash this rom ?

only the baseband package

and to complete: read the new FAQ #16

as TWRP is another thing to add...

[G4 General] Vetal_ca:
Model limitations, hardware or software?

Are there real hardware differences between models?

I wonder to see if I do UsU unlock, will it change the limitations?

I have an exact examples with H812. I've tried it, but purchased H815 since it was no way to make H812 bloatware/locks free before UsU

1. QI Wireless charging didn't work with H812 no matter what I've tried. Even though hardware pins present which connect to QI coil, attached to back cover. Exactly the same cover works with replacement H815 motherboard

2. H812 is Canadian model. It did not work with T-Mobile LTE while T-Mobile SIM card was installed while travel to USA. No LTE, no 3G, no data at all. I have it SIM unlocked and GSM calls, SMS and other conventional things worked. But no data. Same APN, same place, same time - backup Nexus 5 worked fine. So did H815 in the same conditions but couple month later while on the next trip

Will these be working after UsU unlock, as if it be H815(a)? If not, what about different baseband package, mentioned in topic head? To have LTE at least
[G4 General] glenrocks:
I was only innocently reaffirming your warning in red color ..:angel: :D

Yes, I tried but TWRP shows Not Present. >> also mkfs.fat process ended with ERROR 1. I am not sure when and how sensor tripped....prolly removed the card without proper ejection...I might need your help in resetting all device sensor files (when able).

I also noticed that microphone on H812 is behaving weird, do you suggest clean install of STOCK 29a? Definitely need your intervention/help.

[G4 General] grantdb:
I am just saying once again to make things easy for everyone that has a H812.

Once you have UsU your device -- MAKE SURE to make a COMPLETE backup in TWRP, and stored the backup in MULTIPLE locations!

Use the v29a stock N ROM provided by [MENTION=5545101]steadfasterX[/MENTION] FOLLOWING the FAQ especially regarding the modem and baseband and once that is successfully completed and booted a couple of times use the Titan kernel (h811) v1.7 and Magisk root.

Simple and awesome STOCK high performance Nougat.

After that, if you are like me, start to mess around with other ROMs knowing full well that things are going to be great with new features but have limitations and MANY unpredictable results.

Cheers and thanks to [MENTION=5545101]steadfasterX[/MENTION] the master of LG ****ery!

You didn't need to use a UsU kernel? Regular Titan 1.8 works fine?
[G4 General] grantdb:
I used Titan for H811 prefer 1.7 thought
[G4 General] mwahahaa:
Is there a consensus on the best kernel for H812 on stock nougat? How much improvement was noticed compared to the default?
[G4 General] grantdb:
Basically I chose Titan and left most everything as it is. Running big cores under clocked on conservative gov reduces heat and the possibility of frying the device. Many tweeks are included specific to our device by the developer. I just like the control ?

Cheers!

Magisk root as I stated. Read the OP's and FAQ's posted by [MENTION=5545101]steadfasterX[/MENTION] all over the place! Then read them a bunch more times.

Cheers!
[G4 General] mwahahaa:
Did you do a clean flash, or dirty flash over MM? Did you have to flash the MM modem, the N modem, or keep the default? Thanks in advance -- this should be the last help I need.
[G4 General] grantdb:
Sorry I don't want to be rude but you will have to figure it out yourself as I did by reading, backing up like crazy and trying. I don't want to start my own support thread because things don't work. Stock Nougat without custom kernel is freaking awesome as it is! Just wanted to leave a general summary of what works for me thanks to [MENTION=5545101]steadfasterX[/MENTION]

Goodluck!
[G4 General] mwahahaa:
That is exactly what I was trying to avoid, lol.

I went ahead and flashed the 29a stock N and the H812 baseband only. Everything is working fine after I manually set up the APN (no data initially), so I didn't bother with any other modem or kernel.

To my surprise, with Leandroid, Amplify and Greenify I didn't lose a single percentage of battery overnight . It is the screen that seems to kill battery and I imagine there is no way around that other than to turn the brightness way down.

It a shame that if you don't want bugs you're stuck on original N with no security updates, but its better than unrooted MM, that's for sure.
[G4 General] fil3s:
Yea official nougat is ok. Lineage 15.1 is better :p

Expect to be forever on N until you move on. Cheers! ?
[G4 General] mwahahaa:
I've already moved on the Essential phone. Oreo 8.1 battery life is amazing.

Does Lineage have all functioning on the UsU G4, and is it relatively bug-free? I'd rather have less headaches than advanced performance and features.
[G4 General] fil3s:
I'm happy with it. Much better than lg has to offer. Try it and see for you H811. Bugs: live display doesn't work. Also, i don't think substratum works.... At least it apparently does.
[G4 General] steadfasterX:
We are working on fixing all issues in LOS 15.1 but this will take some more time. I'm happy that its not just me and kessaras anymore as we now have thepiguy in the dev boat too. This helps a lot but it's still a lot of work to do.

I wouldn't use LOS 15.1 as a daily driver yet though but I say the same for aoscp so..

[G4 General] AdventL:
I've removed the assert line according to the provided instructions but it still gives me error 7. I've also tried flashing CypherOS, it managed to flash but its always stuck at the boot screen (it doesn't loop, it just gets stuck at the boot screen), I've seen the CypherOS thread where it mentions the first boot might be long but I've tried leaving the phone on overnight but nothing happens
[G4 General] grantdb:
I found that after removing the long assert line that I zipped it up wrong lol but that's just me.
[G4 General] steadfasterX:
Yea. best is to edit the file directly within the zip.

7zip etc should ask you to update the zip file after saving it.
[G4 General] sdembiske:
With respect to the assert line, the first thing to check is to see if the line is still there in the re-zipped file that you did the removal on. If it is, then the usual reason is that you did not actually save the file after removing the line before re-zipping it. I found that I couldn't save the file if I did the removal inside the zipped folder itself, I had to extract the folder, remove the line, save and close the updater script file, before re-zipping it. Using Notepad ++ (https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v7.5.6.html), to remove the line makes it very easy.

With respect to the Cypher AOSCP flash, refer to post # 361 paying attention in particular to the paragraph starting with - IF, you've already installed the rom and are having problems ... if your device model is different just substitiute the specific files for your particular model.

Hi everyone.

I fixed missing 4.5g (LTE+) and VoLTE on G4 H815TR models. I don't know if there is any other G4 device which supports VoLTE. For Turkey model, it does and it was missing after UsU'ing it.

I'll soon create a guide for it.

Additionally, I can't skip the suggestions I was given by [MENTION=5545101]steadfasterX[/MENTION] . You the users must thank him. With his helps, now we have unlocked everything working G4s!

You should put money for paypal for sfx to get h818 from eBay to test with.. can pick a G4 up for 70$ or so

Oh yeah I forgot, im to be ignored in all usu related matters. Sorry! Sorry! :D

I can't partipate. I have already voiced my complaint about the discriminative treatment I get on XDA in the q&a thread. Because I'm a troll. This thread as well as others I won't mention not by sfx , sucks.
[G4 General] steadfasterX:
so VoLTE is now fully working?

I send you today by PM some more parameters to test which worked for me to enable VoLTE, ViLTE and WiFi calling!

..as far as I can say it works - even on LOS 15.1.. :)

.
[G4 General] berkantkz:
Yes, VoLTE works as it was before UsUing it. You know what I did to make 4.5g working. Then just did a small setting and it worked. No need to any other modifications. :)

About VoWifi, it was not available on our stocks. We only had VoLTE.

I'll create a thread for fixing missing VoLTE. And can I also add enabling VoWifi by mentioning you?

Addition: We don't need to enable ViLTE. We are able to make video calls if VoLTE is available.

You're an amazing man, don't leave us, please!

Regards.
[G4 General] steadfasterX:
Well I dunno about ViLTE but I believe you as I havent tested that.

Not sure how to test WiFi calling but it should work if I can trust the phone info setting in the hidden menu..

I'm out of time to write down everything ;) so yea sure feel free to share!

Here I shared the guide. Maybe you may want to add it to faq or somewhere else where users can find the solution.
[G4 General] Jorge Cervantes:
I would appreciate it if the magic goes up Lineageos 15.1 for VS986_UsU. Have you had problems with overheating with your device?
[G4 General] berkantkz:
Overheating problem is due to rild. I faced with it on both Cypher OS and Lineage OS 15.1. The way to solve overheating problem is to restart rild service until fully compatible ril stack is brought.
[G4 General] steadfasterX:
Overheating is known as berkantkz explained already.

LOS 15.1 is on its way and will come.
[G4 General] Jorge Cervantes:
By avoiding overheating will it also improve the battery's autonomy? Could you explain me more please
[G4 General] berkantkz:
Well, I can say that overheating makes the phone use more battery of course. When we avoid that issue, it may improve the battery I guess. For example, if your device heats up while you're sleeping, since you be sleeping, you can't restart rild to make it normal again. In this case, battery would decrease much more than the normal. So yeah, it can improve the battery's life.

I'm not sure though, I've never tested whether it affects. Correct me please if I'm wrong.
[G4 General] Jorge Cervantes:
Thanks and I do not think I'm wrong, please explain more about how to avoid overheating.
[G4 General] berkantkz:
I personally haven't tested but you may try this app. Use it when you feel your device heats up itself.

I unlocked my V986 and am running stock MM with Magisk. The only issue I'm having is that on startup my phone is "optimizing app 1 of 1" for like 5-10 minutes before booting. I've tried wiping davlik cache/cache to no avail. I can restore a TWRP data backup, from before it started doing that, and it goes away, but then later it seems to randomly come back. I've uninstalled all user apps before and it sticks around, I've installed all apps from the Play Store instead of titanium backups - no dice. It's not a deal breaker since everything else works fine and my phone runs like a champ again, but I'm curious if anyone else has run into this issue themselves.
