[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] FranzB:
Hi all,

i installed this rom too ... But i went back to Fulmics too. Only because of missing MTP !

The rom itself is nearly perfect. USB debugging is working , no crash at all for 5 days. Charging is no problem. Screen is as ist should be. No darkness, etc. Battery life is VERY, very good. I never found a rom where battery life is better ! Not in stock Rom, neither in Fulmics.

I will install this rom again, as soon as there is a version, where MTP is working !
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] pedro1977:
Because there is no support for SuperSU anymore for any rom. The pc connectivity issue is in the to do list. No Los rom comes pre rooted but it's so simple to install root by flashing it after installing the rom - it's downloadable under extras via the Los downloads page. Or you flash magisk instead (not both). If magisk manager doesn't appear after flashing the zip install the manager apk individually o)
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] rfrazier:
It may not suit, but I use sshelper to transfer files (either scp, or rsync, as needed). I didn't even know that there was a problem with MTP.

Best wishes,

Bob

Hello everybody and thank you for your help. Here's a little recap:

My phone claims to be corrupted and:

I can't boot to any OS;

I'm on the stock recovery but trying to erase always returns me to the corruption screen before anything can happen;

Download mode reboots to the corruption screen after a constant amount of time, regardless of wether anything is done or not (even when LGUP is not even on!);

Fastboot getvar returns locked.

What I've tried:

OS: Nothing I can do.

Recovery:

I've tried ~5 times to wipe the phone to no avail. The corruption screen is instant.

Fastboot: I've tried:

fastboot flash unlock unlock.bin

fastboot flash recovery twrp.x.y.z.img

fastboot erase misc

But I'm always told that the phone is locked.

Download mode:

At that point, I've tried about 30 times to flash a 20V KDZ (that works because I've already flashed it on my phone with success) in UPGRADE mode. I always get stuck at 10% exactly (Step "Build: U"). Since the phone reboots into the corruption screen in 30s max, I'm not even sure that LGUP got any occasion to send the phone any data... I used the same drivers I that successfully flashed the same 20V stock ROM onto the same phone.

What I could try:

Fastboot mode: Do you know of any magic trick that could help?

Download mode: Would you think it would be a good idea to:

Try to find a KDZ that supports refurbishing? (I think I found one several months ago)...

Try that guide to unlock the hidden features of LGUP and attempt things like chiperase or something?

Keep trying the regular way?

Some hardware solution? Changing the flash chip? Changing the motherboard?

Contacting the LG customer service out of warranty?

Something else?

Did I do something wrong? What can I try without worsening the situation?

Thank you all for your help. Sorry I couldn't answer before, life got in the way.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] pedro1977:
Firstly download 20a from https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h850-firmwares/ (Your .kdz version will depend on which one you have, the UK H850 europe variant is H85020a_00_OPEN_EU_OP_1030.kdz.) flash with upgrade first, remember as soon as you enter download mode and the phone appears in the list, you should be hitting the start button straight away (a second pair of hands may help). If you delay for even a microsecond it will not work. Your gonna have to do this a few times before you'll be able to enter download mode without booting out (can't remember if I pulled the battery when it was auto restarting) - you'll know this as it will go past 10%. Once it has completed 100%, upon rebooting it may become stuck at the splash screen. You can factory reset it in recovery or pull the battery and enter download mode, switch it to refurbish and flash it fully again. If the above doesn't work after x amount of times try it again from the beginning with refurbish. The 20a .kdz file above supports both. It worked for me, the only difference is I'm using the H830.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ben569:
The v20a worked! I managed to do an UPGRADE with that kdz. Definitely keeping that in mind. Contrary to you though, it made a clean boot for some reason. I've booted into Android.

Now, the question is how do I clean up my misc partition properly?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ben569:
I think that my misc partition is broken because of that.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] pedro1977:
https://xdaforums.com/lg-g5/how-to/cust-error-solution-t3507311/amp/

Before messing with the misc partition, download partitions backup and restore and backup both your modem partitions and misc partition in all three formats. Once you've fixed it back it up again. You'll have to work through the various fixes, do a search.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ben569:
That doesn't works: I get an error code that translates to "Connection problem or invalid IHM code" but I didn't get the message when I booted into LOS. So I don't care anymore (for now).

But I still have the Wi-Fi issue.

So I tried to wipe misc in Android (with the dd method but conv=notrunc is not accepted) but it didn't fix the problem so I'm rebooting to do it in TWRP.

Here is the command I typed:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc bs=256 count=1 conv=notrunc
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] pedro1977:
I doubt the above will fix your problem now because your misc partition is ok, its the wifi address that is incorrect. When you first broke the misc partition you should have entered it then. Im guessing you entered this instead:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/soc/624000.ufshc/by-name/misc

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/soc/624000.ufshc/by-name/fota

reboot

This fixes the misc partition but removes the mac address:

you could try and run this in twrp anyhow:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc bs=256 count=1 conv=notrunc

if there are any other issues with your misc partition it may correct them but ultimately you still need to go back and manually fix your mac address

Some of the mac address fixes floating around, if you find one that works, post a link to it.

https://www.google.co.uk/search?ei=......0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..4.0.0....0.9GWnQoeE-UY

If you can't find a solution, another option is to restore/ factory reset it with lg bridge, if that doesn't restore your misc partition, I'm not sure what will. This reinforces the need to backup your misc/ efs (modem) partitions before flashing/ updating LOS. You could always ask someone with an h850 to reset their network settings and then send the misc WiFi folder to you, this may solve it, packaging their entire misc partition isn't possible because of the amount of security data, I guess they could reset their phone and send it but not sure if this is a valid fix as some of the data must be unique to the phone, you would have to backup yours first.

Although it isn't yet available here yet, there is a new lineage feature that has been merged which is very cool: reader mode. Everything is grayscale. Zowie!

Best wishes,

Bob

PS. As an aside. It appears that that changes SkippyDream made to get things working (partition sizes) have been included in the mainline lineage ROM. I'm now running a version sourcing only the merged lineage stuff (except for my very minor local changes ).

Any word of the FM radio now works?
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] skid42:
Some bugs (and a clue of how to solve?)

Hi all,

First of all: Thanks SkippyDream for making the effort and bringing LOS 15.1 :)

Testing the Rom, I was amazed at how much battery life I get (even if I always had like 40 kernel wakelocks). I noticed that the always on display (ambient display) eats about 5%/h. Turning this off brought me down to way below 1%/h. Amazing!

- one point for future optimization (as it was one of the key features of the G5) would be the ambient display. The lg native version was able to support 1-2%/h battery loss during standby.

- Blank Screen bug sadly still exists (two tries with clean flashes) - only with AOD enabled

- major issue: Bluetooth audio (for hands free devices) does not work. There is a strong white noise over the audio. (someone else mentioned this earlier in the thread already) . A pointer to a solution: trying LOS 14.1 (the official one), bluetooth hands free devices seem to be working fine and the white noise has gone away. Xenon HD (O 8.1), Paranoid Android (N 7.1) Roms both have the same issue.

So possibly we could use the driver for the Los14. 1?

Lastly:

- Charging is fixed (you mention this in 'changes') - but people (at least I did) might turn away from this rom because of the prominent notion in 'what's bad'

Keep up the great work. Really appreciate it!

I built in the FMRadio, and it crashes when I try to use it.

Best wishes,

Bob

PS. With the new version of TWRP (3.2.1.1), 15.1 OTA works properly. One can download and install using only the lineage updater. (Self built 15.1, with a local OTA server.) I'm working up the courage to try encryption again.

RLF
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] pedro1977:
FM radio will need kernel development.

For anyone flashing Los 15.1 for the first time ensure you flash twrp 3.2.1.1 and backup efs, firmware and misc partition data using twrp before flashing Los 15.1, you still need to clean flash it too. It appears from the change log the misc corruption issues are fixed in 3.2.1.1 too.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] VortexHD:
Hello I started using this rom a few weeks ago as a daily driver and it works perfectly for what I need and the battery lasts a lot longer!

The only complaint I have is the NFC not working and the camera doesn't have the wide angle option (guessing its a kernel thing???).

Can't wait for a new update to be available :)

Quick question wrt Magisk (1st time using it instead of SuperSU): Does it survive an upgrade/dirty flash of the 8.1 Rom or do I need to reinstall it every time after flashing a new version of LOS?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Green Ranger 54:
I have been looking all over the place to unlock my v20, the places I have see charge a lot of money just to unlock it. I bought the phone from ebay its in perfect condition, I guess the original owner did not pay off their account. So I'm trying to find a way to unlock it any ideas?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] cnjax:
My understanding is that if there's a balance owed to t-mobile then even the commercial unlock services won't be able to unlock ? it
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Green Ranger 54:
If I root will that unlock it? I'm on firmware 10s
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] PhantomGamers:
No, you're probably screwed honestly.

Was the phone advertised as unlocked? You might be able to get it refunded with paypal if you file a dispute and it was falsely advertised.

I'd recommend sticking to sites like Swappa for used phone purchases, it's not 100% but they at least check IMEIs prior to listing so you know if it checked out.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Green Ranger 54:
I know If I flash a new rom on it, I know that should at least do something for me to unlock it
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] cnjax:
Flashing a different rom won't unlock your phone
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] androiddiego:
You need the tmo app to unlock it. It won't work if the bootloader is unlocked.

Is your provider tmo? You might be able to sweet talk them into resuming data use since you are a customer. If you are not, then contact paypal and file a dispute to get your money back.

Checking an IMEI before purchase may not help because it can take tmo 6 months to shut down service after non payment.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] bigshotrob22:
If the IMEI is blacklisted then you are screwed.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Green Ranger 54:
I checked the imei it's clean. It's just the previous owner left a balance
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] bigshotrob22:
So what do you mean its locked then? What can't you do?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Green Ranger 54:
I'm trying to unlock the phone to use in another carrier, I'm not a t-mobile customer I just bought the phone from ebay. But the phone is still locked in t-mobiles network because of the bill. I checked at multiple sites the imei is clean
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] RossTeagan:
You can check your phone's IMEI status here: https://www.t-mobile.com/verifyIMEI.aspx

Your LG unlocks through the Device Unlock App, so it's quite expensive comparing with other unlocking services.

I would suggest to check the phone's IMEI and if it's blocked, try to get your money back because it's not worth it.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] ki11aprime:
There's a site that unlocks it but you need root tho

gsmzambia.com

It was mentioned in one of the unlocking thread awhile back I'm planning to try it out at the end of the month

A brief survey to sastisfy my own curiosity:

How often do you guys use these apps?

If so, do you find them functional?

Do you use Bluetooth Audio or stick it out with the speaker?

Do you use them on 3G, Wifi only, or even Edge?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] chookz:
For me qaulity is rubbish on both using wi-fi so I don't bother anymore
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] ChumleyEX:
I agree, Skype sounded like poo over wi-fi, and fring doesn't even open on my phone anymore.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] robosiris:
On HTC Herald, using Skype, the call quality was crap because first, I was with Tmobile and edge was too slow. I got the kasier tytn II, and switched to at&t. Skype call quailty was alittler better now with their 3g and wifi. But then I begain to learn about different radios frequencies and how they can significantly increase/improve your reception. My skype stutters very little and the call quality is very good over 3g.

I don't use it often (twice a week maybe) I mainly use it to save my (anytime) minutes during the day and it comes in handy with I want to make international phone calls. I may just upgrade to the $99/month (Unlimited calling) plan:eek:

But in a nutshell, I believe you can improve your Skype (or Fring) call quality by experimenting with different radios.

Bluetooth and skype? Something I don't recommend, but I prefer the wired head set with Skype.

Hope this helps
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] tsoifun:
Looks like that fring was not prepared that WM 6.1 will appear. Everyone who has this version of WM is not able to use fring now. used to have fring over wife - quaility was fine. skype is heavy memmory eater so only tested it nothing else
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] newb5000:
I tried using 3G but the quality was crap.

Wifi works fine for me - I use Skype quite often at home.

I find that using the head set which came with my TyTN II offers far superior call quality than the speaker.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] bigboyhf:
Just installed Skype on my Tilt. All went well, but it seems to only want to be on speakerphone. Also, my call to echo shows no microphone present. I looked for settings to change audio prefs and could not find any. Any suggestions?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] tkalli:
I use Skype all the time for overseas calls on both my PC and Kaiser.

I am using Dutty's 6.1 Non Palmsms version and the call quality is fine.

Using Radio 1.64.08.21
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] hidavi:
So, can I use Skype to make outgoing calls to landlines and other non-skype cell phones? Can I use it to get incoming calls of the same nature?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] bigboyhf:
I read somewhere that Skype and any/all other program will ONLY use the phone speaker. It seems that the only funtions that will use the ear speaker is the phone program. Unfortunately my spearkerphone on my ATT Tilt does not function well or at all. Apparently this seems to be a very common problem with the Tilt... I suppose I can still use Skype for text chatting.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] hidavi:
Is this true? I was hoping I wouldn't have to sign up for any minutes with ATT if I had Skype :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] newb5000:
If you plug in the headset that came with your phone, Skype (Windows Mobile?) will use that instead. Call quality is much better for me using the headset.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] bigboyhf:
I rebooted my router and got Skype to hear me. The quality is not so good with the speakerphone. Unfortunately the Tilt doesn't have a standard wired headset that I know of. I thought maybe the bluetooth headset might work, but it does not connect to Skype at all. It just invokes the voice command dialer...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] hidavi:
^It doesn't? The Wing includes one!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] bigboyhf:
I think there is a jack for a stereo headset but not sure which one is compatible... Will have to do some research.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] arunprakashr:
On my kaiser, dutty's 6.1 ROM, fring works better than skype... call quality, connection timings, all are good.. maybe due to HSDPA..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] jeffry_p:
I'm using Skype over HSDPA and WiFi and quite satisfy with it, voice clarity is good (using Sony 970 Bluetooth), good call handling, just don't try to use it over Edge
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] wethead4:
you need to get a headset that does both handsfree and headset profiles. I have the lubix stereo headphones and it works great both as wireless headphones and handsfree.

For the person thinking about just going with skype as voice, your limited to where you have good 3G connection.
