Glad you got it working. Keep in mind 3rd gen HDX devices do not support OTG. That means no tethered devices or storage. Only adb, mtp and fastboot transactions. There are no known workarounds. Everything must be onboard or communicate wirelessly.

Hello everyone,

I bought an OTG cable in order to connect my LG G6 to the Rc controller but nothing work...

It seems the lg g6 can't stop connect/disconnect...

Anyone have this issue ?

Thanks
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] shoykhetd:
same issue here on android oreo (h870ds singapore). Though with Nougat works perfectly. it's common problem, you can google it and find many topics on dji forums. There are some ways to fix it but they don't seem to work for everybody. I've got mavic and ever since oreo I couldn't make it work. After downgrading to 7 problem was gone. Also I must say that cable is not the problem. The problem is OTG connection in the phone.

But now I kinda use mavic not as much as I used to so I decided that oreo features were more important. at least right now for me. When I want to fly with mavic I borrow wife's Galaxy S7 (which works fine even with oreo).

So I am trying to reboot into fastboot mode/bootloader, and every time I do it it just normally reboots the phone.

Anyone know how to fix?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n2locarz:
I have usb debugging enabled and run the following command from shell on the desktop:

This requires a PC connected and adb drivers installed

On the ZTE, enabled USB Debugging / Unlock Bootloader

The second is to power off the phone, hold ( - ) volume while powering on the phone. Continue to hold the ( - ) volume until fastboot starts.

If you cannot access fastboot, it's because of the rooting scripts. I currently cannot access fastboot either.

Thanks to [MENTION=759634]zefie[/MENTION] for converting the kdz to a zip.

The zip

The anti-root removal

I flashed the zip in TWRP, rebooted to the OS, and was unrooted.

Reboot into the bootloader, and flashed TWRP.

Rebooted into recovery, flashed the lucye anti root removal, then rebooted into recovery again, and flashed Magisk.

Phone has been fine since Thursday.

Coming from 20A, battery life has been about the same- maybe even a bit better. All's well.

Go for it. Be sure to install Magisk for root. SuperSU (if you happen to be using it) doesn't work anymore.

US997 14a to 21c (Keeping Root)

I'm using the US997 still on 14a (rooted, TWRP installed) would I need to (CLEAN) flash up to 17a and then the 21c? After that flash the anti-root and flash an updated version of Magisk? (currently stuck on v16.4) Can't find my stock boot image to update. Only got the phone back in October and stopped all updates before I unlocked the bootloaded, installed TWRP and used Magisk to get root. I had a hard time finding a version of TWRP with a kernel that worked for my phone (Melina v3.2.1-0) would I have to update that also? Was waiting to see the highest update I could get without losing root. Anyone done this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dwasifar:
My wife and I both have G6 phones. On mine, I dirty flashed this over 20A with absolutely no problem. My sequence was: flash Eliminator74 TWRP, reboot to recovery, flash 21C zip, reboot to recovery, flash lucye anti-root, reboot to recovery, flash Magisk, wipe cache and Dalvik, reboot to system. I'm guessing I really didn't need those extra reboots but it felt safer. Phone is perfectly stable.

On my wife's phone it was another matter. Her data partition was encrypted, due to the phone having been reimaged by LG during warranty repair. I'd rooted it but never decrypted it. None of the default ways to decrypt it worked, so I was forced to format /data. I thought that would do it, but the resulting installation was unstable, and wouldn't get through setup successfully without continually looping, freezing, and returning to start. Finally I realized it was probably flashing over the LG factory image that caused the problem. I wiped /system and started over, and had much better results.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Malezar:
So I tried this coming from 17A.

When I reboot to recovery on the first go I have the Oreo bootloader screen and it goes into the white reset menu. All encryption is enabled again.

I have to fastboot bootloader, install TWRP recovery, wipe/format and then restore my 17A to recover the phone.

What steps did you take MetalMan2?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] AlDollaz:
This probably won't help, but are you using this version of TWRP?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Malezar:
Yep. Just downgraded the bootloader back to 17a through it.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] MetalMan2:
I exactly followed LPMatt's list which you quoted.

Still no problems. Pretty sure the battery life is less than 17A, but I think we all know that and for me it's "good enough".
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] xollen:
How to remove root checker?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] LPMatt:
My process is not exactly like earlier posts. I did not reflash TWRP. I had rooted prior to the release of the 20A zip. I already had Eliminator's latest TRWP installed. When I updated to 20A, I simply flashed the ROM and then Magisk. No problem.

With the 21C zip, there seemed to be some input that reboots were necessary in between steps. Experience has taught me that rebooting to system if the system is not complete is bad (don't ask, I won't relive that particular story). So rebooting to recovery should load the important boot changes from the previous flash (according to my limited understanding).

Experience had also taught me that wiping caches is good and that it's hard to say that there is danger in doing so. So I wipe cache after every flash on principle. That means in a multiple step situation like what we're talking about, I wipe caches a lot. Yes, I know this is unnecessary, but I've been flashing stuff on Android phones since Froyo. It used to mean more back then. I also don't have as many issues when dirty flashing, so there's that.

Over the years, I've also learned that - depending on brand, model, version, and a host of other variables - skipping versions when dirty flashing can be problematic. Usually, new versions contain all you need, but if a previous version fixed some bugs, and there are many versions in between, that bug fix just might be missing later on. I'm not saying that happens a lot, or in this situation, but if you're on 17A, it doesn't take much to flash the 20A zip, re-root, reboot, let it sit for a bit (seriously, walk away for a while) then proceed with the 21C process. The 20A zip is in the ROMs section of this forum.

Finally, if you want to try a different kernel after dirty flashing, I suggest you wait a day or so. Let your system experience your personal usage, then flash a new kernel (after a backup, of course). I've learned the hard way that patience is important when messing with Android. Also very hard to achieve... But important.

Good luck and I hope this helps.

---------- Post added at 04:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 AM ----------

Also, I have noted some battery drain. Using mk2000 v2. 0 Beta1 kernel (similar battery drain to stock kernel}. Also some excess heat.

Using two different kernel apps (ROM Toolbox Pro and the ZD one from xda), I noticed that minimum cpu setting maxes out. I also lose root access at least once a day. That is fixed with a simple reboot.

I plan on resetting the phone and clean flashing 21C next week after Christmas. I'll let your all know how that goes.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dwasifar:
Read and follow the instructions in the first post.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] LPMatt:
Ok. Full wipe this morning. Clean flashed 21C and all is well. Seems faster now. lI'll get back to you with battery use later.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] LPMatt:
Ok, after several days, I can say that - for me - clean install of 21c is much better than dirty flashing over 20A.

Much more stable with no issues. I can't say battery is any better, but it's not worse.

Obviously, your personal setup and usage is likely different from mine, so dirty flashing may work fine for others.

Of course, if you wipe and mess up a clean install, don't blame me. This just worked out for my situation.

So, I have rooted 20a running nicely. But I am tempted by this 21c. What will I actually gain with this slightly newer ROM? For example, does this one have Network Speed in the Status Bar Icons? (like my Nexus 6p on Oreo 8.1)

Would this update be worthwhile? I am guessing I can flash right over my 20a and keep all my stuff in tact.

Thanks in advance......i'm so frustrated feel ripping my **** off.. being struggling with this for 3 days...

I was on official stock 7.0 nougat (generic russian), genesis kernel drmfix & Twrp for about a year with no issue. In fact that's my 1st and only attempt in flashing this phone. Decided to upgrade to 8.0. Big mistake!?!

Used Emma flash to flash the latest stock 8.0 release for my region, Asia. It booted up fine, all was well. I read that flashing stock will simply remove root and twrp. But i realized stock recovery was missing as well. And i can't restore any kind of recovery no matter what i tried. Suggestions please !

When i tried to enter recovery, the phone simply vibrated twice, and then 3 times quickly. If i continue holding the buttons, it goes into a loop of black screen and boot screen.

Tried flashing twrp via adb/fastboot. It appeared successful . No error messages. File size and time taken was also reported. But no recovery upon rebooting.

Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

I can only flash roms using Emma, Flashtool ftf always fail with a 'no loader' found message.

Tried re-flashing mm, nougat and oreo via Emma. Phone runs well for all but again no stock recovery.

Don't know what else to do or what the problem is......:(

If i reflash to stock rom and relock boot loader without any recovery, it that dangerous?

2. Flash stock with Emma

3. Don't turn on the phone, go to fastboot and flash the boot img and TWRP img
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] Baron Zemo:
Hi, Thanks for the reply

1. Done

2. Which do i choose in Emma? Software update content (erases user content) or Firmware update versions.

Also must i choose the stock rom which must tally with boot img 34.4.A.2.118? ie. the rom version which ends with .118?

3. Fingers crossed.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] levone1:
Yes, flash 118 fw. If you want to save data, back it up first.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] Baron Zemo:
I have given up :( I followed the instructions explicitly.

Tried flashing latest stock from different regions via Emma, Flashtool/xperifirm and ftfs from online depositories. Then flashed with the corresponding downloaded boot.img, then TWRP without any rebooting inbetween. Even created patched boot.img from extracted .elf files to try. There was no error messages or anything.

Recovery runs fine. But starting normally it either boot loops are stuck at Sony logo.

Is there any other way to get the drm restored? Can i root it via common methods and work my way from there?
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] levone1:
Did you full wipe before flashing, or when flashing, (check boxes in 'wipe' section)?
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] Baron Zemo:
If i use flash tool, i ticked all boxes under Wipe sin during stock rom flashing. All the rest (exclude sin & misc TAs) are unchecked. No other wiping during the process.

If i use Emma, there's no chance to wipe anything, it's auto flash stock rom, then flash boot.img, then flash Twrp, then reboot to a boot loop.

btw, i've tried latest twrp 3.2.3 and 3.2.1

Also, when i flash stock, is stock recovery supposed to return? Twrp just gets removed, and i don't have any recovery at all.

Am i cursed?
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] levone1:
I don't think you can boot to Sony stock recovery. If you flash stock 118, then flash modded boot img and TWRP, and reboot, I don't know why it wouldn't work. Many have done it. Just to be sure -

1. To enter recovery, you power off, then press power and volume down together, until vibration.

2. First boot takes a while. Wait a good 10 minutes to be sure.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] Baron Zemo:
There's why it's so odd to me. Not the 1st time i'm doing this too. I would have waited even longer if it was stuck, but it was looping continuously back to the start.

I suspect could simply be a hardware fault developed. Anyway, i've given up. Probably best excuse to get a new phone :D

[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] intruda119:
I mean you left so many details to help you decide.

Ever tried google or youtube?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] htchd2mtk:
It really depends on your needs / use cases. I have a note 8 and I still use it as my primary phone, but I use the mate 20 x for all of my content consumption. If you can afford it, go for it, but you may want to wait until the price drops a bit

Here are some pros/cons to help:

Pros:

1. Battery life

2. Content consumption

3. Performance

4. Headphone jack

5. Audio quality

5. Great screen, although QHD would have been better. I wish Huawei would have put a QHD screen in and give the user the ability to adjust the settings as needed

6. It's a big phone, but still pocketable

7. The camera is very good, but my note 8 is still the better point and shoot. I know I can get a great shot (in daylight) with the note 8, but the mate x takes some tweaking sometimes depednding on the lighting conditions. Having the 3 lenses is very nice to have though

8. gaming. I don't game very much, but this phone is great when I do

9. Photo editing. I take a ton of family pics and this phone is great for editing

10. The m-pen is a nice feature if you take a lot of notes or draw. I don't have the pen but I'm sure I'll pick it up at some point. Would have been nice if Huawei would have made the pen slimmer and placed a slot in the phone for storing

Cons (China version)

1. If you get the China version, complete Google integration is not there. No contactless payments, Google assistant is not 100%

2. 3rd party launcher integration more difficult

3. Gesture only navigation quirks with 3rd party launchers

4. (Both versions) Nano memory card. Cmon Huawei... don't do that to us

Overall this phone is great. I've used the p8max and zenfon 3 ultra before this, and this truly is the best large phone to date.

Hope that helps.
