Hey there guys, so I did as I'm sure many of you do out of habit and checked for an update this morning. Low and behold with zero announcement Oreo is here!!! I couldn't be happier, but am I the only one who noticed it's dated for April 24th?? What're your guys thoughts on that? Did lg hold out on us, or maybe the carrier?

no update for LGH873 from fido.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tinyshy:
If you have PC access you can go ahead and grab the kdz and flash it with lgup. So long as you're sure your phone is an h873
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] fegitoli:
Will doing this delete any data on the phone? Just want to make sure.

No OTA from Koodo yet.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tinyshy:
It shouldn't but backup just in case
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] bootruss:
It's always better to do a factory reset after a change in Android version, eg. 7.0 to 8.0, so would recommend back up now.. When you change to Oreo, reset afterwards., then restore.

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] fegitoli:
The KDZ will work regardless of your carrier, so long as your device is an H873.

I flashed it on my Koodo H873 last night and it works perfectly. Just be sure to check off upgrade in LGUP so you don't lose any of your data. Open LGUP using Uppercut.

As long as you don't unplug your phone during the upgrade, you will not brick.

Hey can you please help me how to flash H873, i have no experience flashing phone, i would really appreciate if you guide me how to flash, will i lose my data, thank you.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] fegitoli:
Of course!

Assuming you've downloaded the KDZ, the only other steps are getting LGUP and Uppercut. Just google them, you should be able to find them.

Install LGUP (Make sure it is version 1.14) and run Uppercut. It may trigger a virus warning, so you should disable your antivirus temporarily. It is not a virus.

Plug your USB cable into your computer WITHOUT the phone plugged in.

Shut off your device and plug it in while holding the volume up button. It will enter download mode.

Finally, in the LGUP interface, it should show your device model on Standby. Check off "Upgrade" if you do not want to lose your data, or "Refurbish" if you want to factory reset it. In the list at the bottom, select "BIN" and click on the three dot button. It will prompt you to choose your KDZ.

Assuming you did everything right, click on Start. DO NOT TOUCH YOUR PHONE WHILE IT IS UPDATING. When the progress bar in LGUP reaches 100% and your phone enters the "Android is Upgrading" screen, you may unplug your device and wait for it to boot.

Voila, you have Oreo! Please PM me if anything goes wrong.

In the future, please look for an existing thread for flashing instructions. I will make an exception here because you are new to flashing, and I know it is confusing.

Hello,

I had a problem with my phone, after removing some software I found that my phone wouldn't restart, (this think this might have been due to lack of space on the programs memory as I had a lot of stuf installed). it'd just stick on the windows mobile screen.

the only way that I could find to get it working again was a hard reset, (soft resets wouldn't work, it just hung on the windows mobile screen).

so, I turned it off, and turned it back on again held down the two buttons, waited till it asked me if I wanted to format and pressed send to ok this...

now the pone works, but i've lost all the data that was on it (expected).

is there any file recovery software that anyone knows of as I'd like to try to recover my old text and mms messages as well as some pictures and documents that were stored on the phone.

Many thanks,

Danny.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] thezoltar:
Well you are a bit late on this one. The time to install recovery software is before you need it. It can only recover what you have backed up. A hard reset is essentially a total erase and reset but I suspect you knew that. I use Sprite Backup and have several years of excellent results with it. SPB also makes a good backup program. Both are well worth the money and should actually be the first thing you install on your phone.

I've not heard of anyone recovering data from a hard reset. This is actually why most users keep the bulk of their data on the memory card. Good luck.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Myrddin Wyllt:
What he said...or she. I'm not bored enough to look you up, Zoltar, but that seems like a masculine name to me. I certainly wouldn't name my daughter Zoltar, for example...my son, on the other hand, would do well to respect me in the fact that I didn't give him a weird name.

Getting back to the issue. Forewarned is forearmed. Get yourself an SD card, and a backup tool. It's too late for this round (read: you're screwed), but there's bound to be a next time, if you're hanging around on this site. Also, keep your contacts synced to a computer, and copy the most critical ones to your SIM card, as well. It won't make them appear twice, and it's much easier to get contacts from SIM back onto a to phone than the other way around. At least this way, if you have to do a hard reset in the field, you don't lose those critical numbers.

K bye,

Myrddin

~M
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Daniel_rainbow:
well...

I usually say that backups are someting that you tell other people to make whilst believing disaster will never strike you.

anyway... my stuff was backed up to a memory card, but the memory card stopped being recognised by the phone last week,

I've read several stories online about cards doing this. seems that they loose their formatting as the card now can't be read in a card reader and shows up as not formatted. now I'll get may card reader out and see if I can recover some of the data using data recovery software.

Also, I did take backups of my messages using PIMbackup... only after it was too late did I read the developers site telling me that media messages are not backed up because the media part of the message is an attachment.

so I'm left with the end result that my backups are not worth the effort i put into making them.

OK, looking at it from a different angle.

if there is no recovery software that can be run on the phone, is there any way that the phone can be recognised as a fat partition to a computer? then I could just scan the partition with regular tools that would be used to recover data from a normal hard drive.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] sandpears:
I am looking for solutions of this kind also...

my PC to see my xda as an accessible fat partition so that i can scan it with a recovery application.. or ..

dose any one have answers?

can I make a disk image of my pda and scan that with a recovery application on my pc?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ibelong2u:
It is not too late!

I was able to recover most of my files, after performing a hard reset, using Raise Data Recovery (ufsexplorer.mobi)

Essentially, is there a phone, at say walmart, that's sub $100, has a 5.5inch screen(but not necessary) that's rootable. I've had to retire my Note 2 after almost 6 years of service due to the baseband/radio going out. I need something GSM and I can wifi tether, I don't care about performance, not going to load any apps but I do need a big screen because my eyes are failing.

any links from walmart will be duly noted and looked at. and thank you!
[Android General] AlwaysLivid:
I am not sure whether my response is useful, but you could just jot down all the phones that look appealing to you and then look them up in the forums and confirm whether they're rootable or not.

I personally prefer Xiaomi phones from a budget perspective.
[Android General] drarkanex:
Aye, I'm in the process of doing that, it's just taking a lot longer than I'd hoped, and it appears no one really has an answer. I mean, I could share my findings but going on the amount of help i've received so far on this thread, i'll just dispose of my findings after I figure out which one to get because doesn't seem like a topic people enjoy. I'd like to get a miui phone as well, but they are a bit out of my price range.

Hi, i have a galaxy A3 (2016) and i play some games with it and when my phone gets really hot the touchscreen gets harder to tap or slide (i have to touch/slide hard on the screen for it to work) which makes games a lot harder to play especially fps games like pubg mobile. Is there a way to fix it or it's just a bad touchscreen

I also have a Galaxy s3 but even if it gets hot to the point where putting it in your face is actually painful the screen still works properly.

I am wanting to start using Republic Wireless and idiot me purchased an unlocked verizon s6...I put my sim card in my device today and it says my model isnt compatible. I was shocked (should have done my research). It is saying it must be the Samsung-SM-G920T model for it to be compatible with their network. I could have sworn the verizon model I purchased was unlocked so I am confused. Is there anyway I can root the phone and somehow make it appear as being the G920T model instead of my SM-G920V model ?

Can I take the OTA download without fastboot? Or do I need a PC for this?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Tardeaux:
There won't be an OTA for this. It's a Developer Preview targeted at app creators that might want to adapt or test new features, and not intended for daily driver use. Critical features (like functioning as a phone) might be fundamentally broken or buggy, and by downloading it you're opting out of the normal customer service and warranty channels (instead of troubleshooting or device repair, you'll be directed to submit a beta feedback report), so they aren't going to make it easy for end-users to load it up.

Essential ph1

Hi owner of another mystery,

How's your experience with it assuming you checked it out? I'm always reluctant to install OS betas until I've heard some feedback. Thing is, Essential PH1 forums/discussions are virtually non-existent for this SUPERB device! Now that PH-2 sounds like it's dead-in-the-water, I hope but with full confidence that support will continue for the PH-1 as it has all along. Any day we should get a security update; their monthly updates beat the competition by parsecs.

But the P beta, right? Thoughts from any of the intrepid?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Julianjb:

So far:

-Notch settings have been removed, so no more immersive mode as of now

-Things are very very smooth, no glitchy animations or anything

-Have not run into any app issues in the few I've run

-Gestures are, ummm, strange? Going to take some getting used to for sure. in a way it is a whole new paradigm. After so many years using android, it feels really weird. I don't really like that if you try to swipe up your app drawer though the "current apps" view pops up behind it. Doesn't looks great and seems like a poor ui choice. I'm sure this will change though

Altogether, so far so good honestly. Seems like daily driver material for my usage
