[LG V30 Questions & Answers] my.ads0:
Ok. I'm just about ready to do this, but I would like to confirm exact steps.

1. Download the kdz from here: https://lg-firmwares.com/downloads-...s996_north_america_vs99620b_03_0312_arb00_kdz

2. Go into Download Mode from Phone Off: Volume Up + Plugin USB

3. Open LGUP and load the KDZ

4. You said you did a PARTITION UPGRADE. That is not a choice, though. Did you choose UPGRADE or is it PARTITION DL?

5. Hit Start.

6. Popup should appear...UNCHECK Boot & UNCHECK Recovery

7. ? Did you wipe dalvik/cache? Did you do MASTER RESET? Anything else after this, or just reboot and profit?

8. I'm guessing we should freeze SYSTEM UPDATE in Titanium Backup so we don't get anymore messages?

Thanks again for your insight. I just want to be clear on all of the steps before I jump in.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
if they unchecked any partitions, they used DL PARTITION method. Simple upgrade option did not give you that choice.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Depends on which option you choose in LGUP. I know "Refurbish" deletes everything, while "Upgrade" only overwrites the ROM (keeping data and apps). But with either you have no choices -- either all or nothing.

For "DL PARTITION", I am not sure. But this person says they did it that way and it didn't delete data.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] my.ads0:
Thanks for that info, ChazzMatt. I'll wait until they confirm my other questions and then give it a try when I know the exact process.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] kgirlx:
Let us know how it works..check to make sure your still bootloader unlocked and can install Magisk for root.. Thanks.

I am thinking I am bl locked again. I cant boot to bootloader anymore. To be honest, I dont care. I have Twrp, and root. If i need BL, I will flash to us998 FW.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Bootloader probably isn't locked, but you no longer have the fastboot flash commands (which US998 has).

Since you still have TWRP, THAT is the important thing. You can flash what your want. Magisk, ROM, etc.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] kgirlx:
I think your right about still BL unlocked.. Not having fastboot commands through sucks.. I personally like having those options for adb usage.

Sent from Death
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] my.ads0:
This might be a very dumb question, but is there a way to bake the fastboot commands back into the rom?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Right. You can do most stuff with TWRP. Mostly ADB is used for the initial bootloader unlock and installing TWRP. At least you know you can always switch back if you really need it.

Are you going to update to newer VS966 V30 firmware then whenever it's released? You can't take OTA -- in fact you should disable/freeze that file. You'll have to wait for full image KDZ of any Verizon update and then do the same thing you did this time -- uncheck recovery partitions so you don't lose TWRP.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] suzook:
I will just update using kdz method, once available.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
You're being very helpful to others! Thank you.

All -

Sorry to necro this thread, but I just unlocked/rooted my VS996 this past weekend using ChazzMatt's Frankenstein/new_unlock guide (US99820b_03_0524.kdz), and now I'm curious if I could see service improvement going to the VZW-spec US996 kdz.

- Is it confirmed that I can retain unlock/root if I use LGUP to apply the stock kdz?

- How do I disable/free OTA updates to keep TWRP around?

Thanks for any info, you guys rock.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] cmrntnnr:
I didn't notice any differences in reception between open market us998 and vs996 roms in the mid-atlantic region. There is no need for kdz's if you are rooted and twrp'd. It is faster, easier and probably safer to use twrp flashable zips like this one:

https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/development/rom-fw-lg-v30-joan-verizon-vs996-21f-t3865671/page2

and this one

https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/development/rom-lg-us998-20d-rom-t3830318

Give the threads a look for more information and watch the forums for updates. An updated us998 is on the docket for release soon.

To disable OTA's, start up Settings and go to Lock screen & Security then Security updates and tick off the radio buttons.

Lastly, the vs996 is larded up with a lot of Verizon bloat and you lose native tether. The pros are proper voicemail notifications and vowifi.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
I found an increase in "bars" on the phone when moving to VS996... but that doesn't really mean much as they could have just modified the bar settings to make it look better. I'm in Connecticut, for what it's worth. As mentioned above, I also applied it via TWRP without issue.

I think you need to have the VS996 in order to have VoLTE calling on a Verizon-based carrier? That's the other reason I applied it... I'm on Total Wireless. I just helped another user test his setup (PagePlus, I think?)... and he has VoLTE working as well.

I don't use the carrier VM (I use Google Voice, as it transcribes for free)... so I can't comment on that.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] cmrntnnr:
No, VoLTE works fine with open market US998 phone and rom in general and on Verizon. It is VoWIFI that doesn't work.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ellomdian:
Whelp, there's my answer. Tether >>> Voicemail and VoWiFi. Damnit VZW...
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
I don't use tether, as TW (Total Wireless) doesn't really want us to... but in the past when I was on VZ, in a pinch I was easily able to gain tether via other methods... so you can have both on a rooted phone easily?

EDIT, you could also just add VoLTE/VoWIFI as noted here: https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/how-to/wtf-lg-v30-t3790500/post76613814#post76613814

I had to do the same thing to my VS996 (without loading the VZ files, as VS996 already has them) in order to get it working on TW...
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] KrisM22:
I am wondering if some of these are not stuck in a power-on state.

Thus they would drain battery to zero but not necessarily reset.

Thus any testing would need a

good

wall wart or

good

cable connecting to phone to computer (lots of probs possible in there).

I guess testing would involve hold down pwr button and vol-dn button for 20 secs.

However, if all that does nothing I would be inclined to grab a heat gun and a youtube teardown video and take it apart looking for loose connections (low probability of that) and disconnect the battery and:

(this is just one possible example - I haven't watched it all the way through.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3R8Y8Sl_-8

1 press and hold PWR button a bunch of times to drain caps and try for a reset.

2 Also while you've got it disconnected, test battery with voltmeter. That is extremely delicate as the contacts are tiny - we're talking near surgical here.

If you short the battery, it will explode.

Just scratching my brain here. I understand how frustrating it is to have a perfectly good phone that you can't seem to do anything with.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] KrisM22:
For folks in this situation, plug phone to computer and hold pwr and vol-dn -

1 does computer recognize phone?

2 fastboot devices - work?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] phoenix79802:
Hey guys,

After previously being hacked on my Galaxy Note 8 and some kind of webview extension, then going through the flash back to factory settings etc, I have a question.

If I were to install and run everything through the secure folder and I were to be compromised again through a web extension, would that then all hackers to view everything on my phone again regardless of whether it's in the knox environment or outside? Would a backdoor like that work into the secure environment as it did in my normal android system?

Thanks very much!

when i go to system update it still showing b322 not b364
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] omega_55_lul:
I forgot, you need to also flash update_data_full_public.zip and update_full_PRA-L31_hw_eu.zip (update_full_PRA-L11_hw_eu.zip if you are on a single SIM device)

To do this, you need to repeat the same steps starting from Step 6, the only difference is that the terminal commands are different

in this case, Step 10 will be like this

echo --update_package=/sdcard/update_data_full_public.zip > /cache/recovery/command

echo --update_package=/sdcard/update_full_PRA-L31-hw_eu.zip > /cache/recovery/command

Obviously, to flash these you need to reflash TWRP and then Nocheck Recovery to execute the terminal commands from TWRP

EDIT: I updated the tutorial, try it now
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] player98343:
hurupdater also works no neeed for terminal commands
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] omega_55_lul:
Is it reliable?, and does it relock Bootloader or FRP after the update?

I don't wanna risk bricking my device
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] player98343:
no it wont lock bootloader and frp

edit: remember to factory reset after flashing
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] omega_55_lul:
Thanks, but why do I need to do an factory reset?

Also, there's B366 now released today on Firmware Finder, I'm currently installing the update

EDIT: I flashed all 3 zips of B366 from Nocheck Recovery and it worked just fine, I didn't do an factory reset
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] player98343:
cause it wont boot if you wont factory reset.

Edit:whats new on b366?
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] omega_55_lul:
I successfully updated from B364 to B366 by flashing the zip files one by one via Nocheck Recovery without any issues, no need to do an factory reset

And this is what the changelog of B366

This update improves system security with Google security patches.

Optimizes VoLTE feature for a better calling experience.

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] vessto74:
Hello all!

I had my Huawei MediaPad T3 10 from a month and half. Today for a second time I got a strange issue - around 300 MB disappeared after charging the tablet. I keep my eyes on every app installed - all are hibernated, with data and cache cleaned and usually the tablet is in Flying mode so battery to be saved. I dunno why so much space disappears all of a sudden after charging (at least for now both times are after charging). Any help?:(
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] vessto74:
Please, help! Happened again!
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] testmamia:
Did you find any solutions yet? Coz im having the same problem with my Huawei P9 lite.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] vessto74:
Few time wiping cache helped but not every time. After the last EMUI update I noticed my apps become smaller (both personal and system), as if were compressed, and I got space on the tablet. When I lost space last time I saw their previous size return. So it might be some system issue too. By now for me must-do are two things - 1. I keep the tablet on until the battery went to 2% and it turns off by itself and 2. I charge it as it is turned off and don't turn it on until the battery is 100%.

Hi I just bought a Niki locked to T-Mobile. I got it unlocked thanks to Olipro and £5 ;). I would like to debrand the phone, I hate the "Web'n'Walk" stuff and the T-Mobile splash screen. I just wondered what my options are for doing this and peoples opinions on difficulty and results.

1. Manualy remove apps, and flash new splash screens

2. Load completely new ROM, if so which one, can I get an original HTC one?

3. Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] dtm203:
Grab the HTC WWE rom and flash that or you could try Tom's rom
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] slvrbllt:
I have "debranded" my italian TIM Niki without even reflashing any ROMs:

1) Hard reset your device

2) Go through screen alignment and startup settings

3) Soft-Reset before the extended rom is installed (you will be informed by a dialog box with a 3 seconds timeout, so be quick!)

Please let us know whether it ever worked at all.

Ciao!

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TPMJB:
So this is my battery before swapping for a new one:

And this is how it reads now, with an OEM "authentic" replacement for $12

Ripping apart the Axon7 and replacing the battery took about 40 minutes, and is certainly not for the faint of heart. But I think it will yield something good. Unfortunately I didn't take a screenshot of battery usage before I ripped out the old battery. After about a full day I'd have ~15% battery left. Lite usage
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Choose an username...:
well, 1 charge isn't representative of anything. The first time that i tested with accubattery it reported about 3500 mAh even though the screen was off and all. By the 3rd charge it got down to 2400, and it stayed there.

It makes sense, though. Supposedly they can have anything between 2800 and 3600 mAh
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TPMJB:
True, my battery is now reading a hair over 3000 mAh. Old battery read anywhere between 1800-2200. I definitely have better battery life now.

Bottom speaker grill isn't staying on :crying:
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TPMJB:
Yeah, accubattery is now hovering around 3050 mAh for battery capacity. A trip to work (45 minutes) and listening to music the entire way, I get down to around 95% battery. Before I would get from 76-82%.

I recommend the upgrade if your battery is sucking.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Choose an username...:
Superglue it, just put two very little drops on each side, then spread them so that they are not too high (if they do, they might go through the grill holes). If you ever want to take it out just use a knife or something, it comes out easily.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TPMJB:
Would superglue come off well with a heat gun?

I'm at about 70% now, starting at 0530 this morning. Usually I'd be around 40-50% by now.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Choose an username...:
Well I just pry the damn things off whenever i need to. If you glue them closer to the center you can just use a clip on one of the rightmost holes and push it left, and the tip will raise. put your finger there and tug a little, and the superglue will come off.

Of course there are better ways, i just don't care too much about that
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] RobboW:
New batteries usually need a couple of charge cycles to start showing their real capacity. One of the first instructions is to give a device full charge before first use. Good reason for that.

I have watched the JerryRigsEverything video 100 times over and I'm scared about buying a new battery although it's becoming more of a need as my Accubattery is showing 1500mAh :,( and performance and stutters are everywhere.

being someone who has made tones of PCs before I feel like its very similar in putting the phone back together? I have a few questions.

1. How does it compare with assembling computers (if you have any experience)

2. With the adhesive on the battery and speakers, does the speaker grills and battery sticks back into place or should I result to super gluing the stuff back together?

3. Do I need to take apart the whole phone before taking the battery out? JerryRigs doesn't mention it is required but it seems like it could be an issue but if its quick to just pop it out and a fresh one back in i might stock up on more batteries

I had this problem where my phone won't last more than 2 hours of screen time so i went on ebay and searched for the Axon 7 A2017G battery after a small research of the model. I bought the cheapest kit with screwdrivers, glue stripes and guitar picks. Never opened a phone before but it was fairly straight forward using a YT video as guidance. Replaced the battery and now i get the screen on time like it was new. I have installed LOS 15.1 last update posted (5 may) and my battery cappacity went from 2640 to 3000 as advertised (battery is 3140 in reality). The only thing is that the battery heats up fairly under heavy load or when fast charging. I'm keeping this phone for the 3rd year now still kicking.
