On xda, there's a thanks button to be clicked...

remove gps(hardware/qcom/gps) sdm845 from repo_update.sh

I had same on LOS15 and did add [org\.codeaurora\.internal]line#52 to /build/make/core/tasks/check_boot_jars/package_whitelist.txt

Actually oreo carbonROM is best rom for everyday use or unofficial build, on xz1/c/premium lineup,: ~3x faster than sonyxperiadev. Also many of its components can be re-used in (future) regular aosp (Gallery Quarks Music ...)

For me, on latest 'beta' binaries and 47.1.A.12.270 , xz1 android-9.0.0_r8 hangs on logo and no logs (but no starting bootloops). We also need clarification on Sony firmware version needed (47.1.A.

16

.20 ?)...

When build failed, focus on {error:}message, and try to "follow" named files; once done, try to relaunch the whole [/bin/bash ..] heavy command line, between {Failed:}message and {error:}message, to check your corrections. Sometimes, on old PCs, things can get messy and [make clean] can be needed (?!). I always [make bootimage] first, before full build, to save time in order to countercheck global PC & rom setup.

[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] Redcalibur:
I do not know if it's related to hanging on logo, but Sony's build guide lists branch android-9.0.0_r6 at "Initialise the AOSP tree", so it's possible that they tested this version and not the latest 9.0.0_r8. My phone also updated to 47.1.A.16.20, so depending on whether you tested it out on this version already or if I'll need my phone or not, I'm willing to unlock my device & test it.

Edit: Nevermind. It's unrelated.

Did someone try the new version?

security revision: Nov 2018

build: PQ1A.181105.017.A1

branch: android-9.0.0_r16

I'm asking this because the final stock 9.0 is ugly and I didn't like it.

Even with Sony's steps for installing AOSP, it breaks the camera? Are they crazy?

Did someone try the AOSP9 Pie build with Kernel 4.9 - does it work now? Does it still break the camera?

I wonder why they don't release an OTA version with 4.9...
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] Balthild:
Built android-9.0.0_r30 and flashed on my G8342. The camera works fine.

But the battery level is always 20% (TWRP and stock ROM shows it correctly). This does not appear on Pie only, but on AOSP Oreo too. Maybe there're some bugs in Sony's AOSP code?

Turn off your phone with power+vol-up for 10s without any cable, it should fix itself.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] Balthild:
I've tried this before. And I tried again just now. It doesn't work.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] WalterCool:
Just flashed yesterday my phone with full format. Had this issue as always, just played many times with vol-up+power many times until it worked. Remember to wait until vibration happens 3 times.

I don't know a 100% proof working method, but doing it many times it works. Try with a connected phone, so you can get the charging icon fixed.

You do it using a terminal of a Linux distro. I suggest using builds of people who have already done it before rather than trying it yourself ( I won't stop you ) but, it'll save you from a ton of headache.

Hey guys!

I'm looking for a minimal black theme for my Galaxy S9 stock.

I have bought this secondhand handset, he says that it's us996 series, and when i check it in the setting information, it says us996 series, but then i decided to unlock bootloader, we know that us996 series could be unlocked legally, so when i follow the instruction, including put my IMEI and device ID in LG developer website to get permissions, the website says that my handset is LS997, so it can't unlocked legally, could any of you solve this problem? I desperately need your help, thank you (english is not my native language, so sorry for the language)
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] cnjax:
Sounds like LS997 that was rooted before dirtysanta was patched, and they probably flashed a 996 rom, check ☒ see if you have root. If so it should be unlocked

check the sticker under the battery for model number, what does it say? if it is not US996 you can't use LG Dev site to unlock.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Phoenix591:
The problem is you got sold a ls997 that got flashed with us996 firmware including the bootloader while it was still possible. The solution is to use it as is, return it, or root it with the dirty Santa method and make sure you use a kernel with the dirty Santa fix (since most kernels/roms labeled just us996 won't have it)
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] WitchKiller:
I tried it once root it with dirtysanta, but i got stuck in step1.bat when unlocking bootloader, it didn't go as instructed, specifically in the android terminal emulator section, after we put that long code "applypatch /...../dirtysanta"
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] WitchKiller:
I can't find the sticker, maybe it's lost. Could you be more specific about that sticker attachment place
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Phoenix591:
You need to roll back to version 10f, grab LG up from this thread, put it in

C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\

Grab the firmware

Put your phone into download mode (power off / hold vol. up / plug in USB cable).

And then use the upgrade option in LG up to downgrade. Then follow the dirty Santa instructions

---------- Post added at 01:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 AM ----------

Probably intentionally removed, its literally impossible to miss. It takes up a large part of the back of the battery compartment (here's my factory unlocked us996 sticker on the original screen assembly). The clean back area is of course the battery compartment. The model being listed as LG-US996 (instead of US996) and the USA on the side (as opposed to BPT or UCL) differentiate the factory unlocked from the other two us996 variants
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] WitchKiller:
But i heard the rumour that the ls997 variant unable to flash firmware because the variant doesn't have .kdz file
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Phoenix591:
That's just it: there's no ls997 firmware but it can flash other variant's firmware (except the T-Mobile h918) as long as it hadn't gone past a certain ls997 update (others reading this thread in the future, don't try it, if it's been on Sprint firmware and been updated in the past century it's impossible, think the last Sprint update that could was ZV6 or ZV7 iirc).

Since it's on US996 firmware it should be fine. Also a good idea to use the dump option in LG UP to backup the modem, modemst1 and modemst2, and misc before you reflash with LG UP, basically everything but user data won't hurt.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] WitchKiller:
Do you have the tutorial of rolling back version of that firmware? If you have let me know, i kinda need it
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Phoenix591:
that was basically all there is to it.

Get LG UP (put it in C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP) the firmware (kdz)

Put your phone in download mode by powering off, holding volume up and then connecting to the PC. Open LG UP.

Hit dump option, hit select all, uncheck user data on the partition list, then click ok. Since the phone was originally the LS997 the modem may be wierd so having a known good modem and modemst1 and modemst2 backup (done by that dump) is a good idea.

After the dump actually rollback by selecting the upgrade button and adding the kdz to the bottom section.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] WitchKiller:
It works!! Thank you so much, now there's another problem. My sim card locked, do you know how to solve it? I search online and none of them are free
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dksoni411:
Flash a kdz with patch level of december 2016 using same above method. After that root using your preferred rooting method (Mine is given in signature, need to see in desktop mode). Then flash either SuperV20 or Vincent ROM and you should be fine (Let's hope so). I personally like Vincent more because it is based upon UX 6.0, looks nice and have most things ironed out.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] WitchKiller:
Oh yeah thank you, but do you have some kind of tutorial about that? I think i need them
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dksoni411:
There is a link for guide in signature called "LG V20 back to stock"
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] WitchKiller:
I can't, because my variant is ls997, and the variant itself doesn't have .kdz file, i tried it once using LGUP but it says error LS997->US996

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hod928:
Hey everyone,

Coming here in hopes that the rooting community can offer some help and assistance. I had a close friend pass away last week and was provided his old Note 5 to see if any pictures could be recovered from the phone. This is his old phone from roughly 2 year ago. When I was given the phone the screen would not turn on and I think the phone was stuck in a boot loop as it would vibrate roughly every 10 seconds. I swapped the screen on the phone and was able to get it to boot. The phone now boots up but goes to the Google FRP saying the phone was reset and to access the phone we gotta used the previously synced account. Unfortunately we are not able to get into his Google account. We are unsure if the phone reset itself or if it was reset previously.

Its my understanding that when a phone resets it does not erase all the data but marks it for overwrite? Was wondering if anyone had any advice on how I should proceed and what would be my best bet to see if we can recover any photos that may still be on the phone.

Thank you,

Ok first of all good day to all of you who take time to read my post.

Can somebody tell me on their experience which is the most robust or durable Android phone.

Let me explain, first of all I had a LG G3, what a great beats but I sold it few months ago.

I have used LG G4 - - Shame on bootloops

I have used LG V10 - -Extreme overheat, dead proximity sensor, fails on the screen (Could Be Mother Board or LCD not sure)

I have used LG G5 - - Incredible weak rear camera glass, It broke almost by itself and the screens seems tooooo weak and feels like a toy that can broke anytime with the first contact with the floor.

I have used Motorola Moto X Play XT1563- - Dead proximity sensors and start to reboots by itself - -This happened 2 weeks after extended warranty expired (bad luck)

Has anybody a good experience who can tell me for a phone that last at least 2 years, to be honest I have not find any better phone than the LG G3 Specially D851 and VS985, I can easily buy another on ebay but I would like to try something new.

Are Xiaomy good ones?

Are Xperia good ones?

Are google good ones?

I know Samsung is good, but I have seen that also fails on the ghost or burn screens, those translucent marks on the display.

I'm an IT guys who cares a lot the phones, always tempered glass, always using a case so I'm not those construction guys who drop the phone every 5 mins.

Thanks and hope somebody can share any info.

The problem is. In my Titan my sim card is detected only for few mins or hours. Later it says no sim card in quick settings. I tried everything flashing stock modem files, flashing stock ROM and yesterday I got my sim slot chip changed at 250 Indian rupees. But today while I was playing Clash of Clans through mobile data (phone was charging) it got heated and screen locked automatically and again same...No Sim Card.... So I went back to the phone repairer and he inserted sim in 2nd slot. Now it's working fine but I'm afraid that it'll go again when I'll turn on my mobile data and play clash of clans...
