Oreo V20

Just installed Oreo on my V20, TWN version. Runs properly, no bugs, fast, now there's double tap to shut down the screen, finally it stays put in 4G unless you set it otherwise, faster overall, more precise DAC volume level, new icons design, new options when typing icons, improved comfort vision, overall better. Just make shure you do an hard reset to get the max efficiency. System updates are often buggy.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Murali_ch21:
I did installed two days ago. I surely can say there is lot of improvement in overall performance. Battery life is much better compared to before update.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] bakerloh:
The update made the phone faster for me and my bro-in-law.

We also started using a 4100mAH battery from Qoo10 which had amazingly longer battery life than the original batts.

This phone has a brand new life now, thanks to the update and new battery.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Murali_ch21:
I just ordered one but must wait till next month. ... The seller said no stock for now.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] bluemask69:
do you have problems with proximity sensor (screen not turned off) with incoming calls? This is a big problem encountered by many users who have upgraded to Oreo.... Other bug is no icon when battery charged.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] siupapio@libero.it:
Nope, no problem at all. I've just tried and it works fine.

ARB isn't and never was a thing for the H990/DS. No need to post the same thing multiple times when you can search for H990 ARB and get the answer.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] faeterov:
I was the first user in this forum to report the ARB, both here and on reddit. I was asking other users for their ARB status, but none replyed, so decided to take the plunge and see for myself.

Now you know ARB isn't a problem on the H990DS, but at the time that wasn't clear.

According to the firmware site, Android 8 is released for SEA, TWN & THA regions. If I'm using an Indian v20, can I upgrade via lgup to Oreo by flashing any of the above 3 region's firmwares?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] maheshkurmi:
Although other firmwares can be flashed over Indian version using LgUP tool. But volte doest work, so wait for official update.

ARB for H990DS is always 0?

Hi. I've just discovered LG v20 and have been planning to purchase a used unit. I would like to get the dual sim variant. I've been researching a lot about h990ds because I want to be able to bootloader unlock, root, and roll-back between stock roms and install custom roms at will.

My reading resources are the forum here at xda and there at reddit. My scouring the internet for info about v20 is me doing due diligence to avoid buying a device that I can't root/install custom ROM on. (What makes this research extra tedious is ARB. It is an entirely new concept for me and after a few days of reading, I learned that when looking for a v20:

1 should check the device's ARB count. I noted that I should avoid a v20 that has ARB > 0 because then, I would not be able to roll-back.

I also became aware that software version 10b should be installed because 10c and upwards already has a dirtyCOW fix, and therefore cannot be rooted.

Stock Oreo is still unrootable until now.

Now I stumbled upon this topic, and I think I hit a breakthrough regarding ARB.

Questions:

Is it true that on H990DS, ARB will always be 0? Can it survive a firmware Over~the~air stock ROM upgrade? The same will stay at ZERO even after a custom ROM installation?

Can it be bootloader unlocked?

Are these the only info I need to know when searching for a dual-sim v20? Have I covered all my bases already, or do I miss something?

Any input from anyone is very much welcome.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Salvaparalyzer:
Once you are rooted, you can't upgrade OTA or you'll need to flash a kdz again in download mode. But as far as I know, ARB will still be 0.

Yes, you can unlock bootloader & root. You'll probably need to downgrade to get root. Check this.

You can upgrade to OREO flashing a rooted stock rom, you can find it around here.

Hope this answers your questions. :good:
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verystressedpleasehelp:
Hi All,

I am having a bit of trouble with my Galaxy S6 device. I am unsure if this was the cause of my issue, though yesterday I had dropped my phone from a short distance. When I had picked my phone back up it was powered off and would not turn back on. This is not the first time my device has powered down from a fall, and this is not the first time I had difficulty rebooting my device.

My phone does not appear to be responsive to any attempts, nor does it indicate by LED that it is charging. When I dropped the device, I was just then taking it off the charger as the battery was at full/near full.

I have tried holding the power button, holding the power button and volume buttons, holding the power button and each of the volume buttons on their own, as well as holding the power button, volume down button, and the home button. I have not had any luck with any of these solutions, nor was the device responsive to any of these solutions.

When I plug the phone into its charger, the power brick does appear to be warm, though this may just be wishful thinking on my part. I have tried the power brick that came with the device as well as a third party power brick.

At this point I am going to try to get into recovery via ABD, but I am not confident that my device will even be recognized by my computer.

Many of my online accounts have an authenticator from my phone tied to them, I am desperate to get access to this again. Is there anything else that I have failed to try?

Many Thanks.

EDIT: I would also like to make note that I have taken very good care of my device and that there is no outward physical damage to the device. With this being said, is it possible that the drop could have rendered an issue with the internal components? Perhaps my device was still on and the screen just went out on me? Though would this also render the LED indicator inoperable as well? Perhaps the battery was jostled loose? Though in such as tightly packed unit, would this even be possible?

I got a Galaxy Note 8 branded Vodafone with a Vodafone SIM card in Italy;

Mobile connection is working fine with each app I use, but after a while, when I turn back to the same apps, it seems that internet connection doesn't work: I cannot send any txt on whatsapp, Instagram doesn't refresh correctly, spotify doesn't find any artists I search to..

Obviously internet is ON, I got GBs to navigate, I haven't any apps or settings about data saving or something like that.

Any ideas? I really can't continue like this

[Porting] CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE < /system/bin/ file>: cannot locate symbol < ... >

Hi.

I encountered a problem while trying to port AOSP Extended v. 4.1 (Android 7.1.2, kernel 3.10.65+, MTK 6753) on my device (VOYO Q101, 2GB/32GB, kernel 3.10.65+, MTK 6753).

After successfully started the booting process (after one week of research, and a stupid line in /system/build.prop: ro.setupwizard.enterprise_mode=1 which caused stucking at logo), I have managed to get a logcat via adb. LOG (it's 8MB)

It is booting.. and booting... forever. It is not stucked, nor bootlooping. It is just booting (the "Google dots" animations running forever).

I have attached the log. There are a lot of CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE <....> cannot locate symbol < ... > referenced by <...> and also a lot of:

[What I did]

- just copying the kernel from stock ROM (tried also: stock kernel + stock ueventd.rc +/- stock fstab): all caused bootloop or even stucked at logo. Just kernel change works good (at least till the actual stage) .

- compared with old .rc files. No replaces needed (in my opinion)

- From system/build.prop file I have DELETED all lines from ADDITIONAL_BUILD_PROPERTIES section (especially ro.setupwizard.enterprise_mode=1) - which took me 4 DAYS !!! to understand why it was stucked at logo :).

- tried with and without patching with init.d (from porting ROM's website)

- tried to put the stock binaries mentioned in errors <CANNOT LINK ...> (/system/bin/mtk_agpsd, xlog) - not booting at all (it even stucks at logo...). Should I try with stock linker.so lib(64) ? But I think it will not boot at all (It really can't).

I hope for your help :). Thanks! :)

There is no rumour. It's just that Q4 ends in December so this is the latest date where the "promised" date ends. So all we can do is wait and see but let's not make people false hopes about dates. It will come when it's ready or in Xiaomis case, when they want to beta test on their users ;)

But still would be nice to know if beta testers are already testing something with a 9 in front. So come here my whistleblowers :D

October source code was released October 1st. So Monday they started working on adapting it to out phones. Last time, for the September patch , source code was released on a Saturday and mi a2 devs released it on a Thursday. So they started working on it on monday and it took them 3 days. This time there's a big bug they need to fix and according to Google issue tracker, that bug is now at "assigned" status. So this time it might take a few more days. Maybe Friday or next week.

They were all beta builds and beta testers just get the update earlier. So what's your point? It's not that beta testers get major updates only. Testing bugfixes and issues before normal releases is a common practice for other software projects I know.
