In reguard to the smali patcher, to be honest I have no idea, ive seen several references to it sinse folks started commenting on my idea, things get developed all the time, i dont recall having that as an option when I wrote all this or id have gone for a quick fix myself, if the patcher somehow disables the gps itself then its likely it works in a similar fashion, as the heart of my fix really depends on the gos file, and of course some spoofing app and root, all id say is try and see, if the patch works and its less leg work for you then go for it, I would, i just didnt have anything else when i wrote the steps out
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] GoodguyUK:
Great, just what i was searching for!

That is really great, i've spent today searching for a way to deactivate the gps, i have a sony xperia z3c which is used just for pokemon. I found that gps.conf file shortly after i started having a nose around the filesystem. The only think i actually tried so far was disable the location service & the fused locations, after which the GPS joystick (as a system app) seemed to stop functioning. Incidentally, my gps.conf is in > system > etc

So thanks for this info, you have saved me from a lot of messing about.

Just to update, the gps.conf was in 2 location on the xperia z3c, the top etc folder and in system/etc. so did both.

Again the gps joystick would not work after i froze the location service and the fused locations, as it turns out they both have to be present for it to work.

Despite that, it looks to be working ok.

No, a while later it did start doing it again, much less though.

Think ive sorted it now though. using an app called System2, i found the other services that are related to the location service, then froze 4 of them. I also deleted this one file that was somewhere within the in the dev folder in another folder called qmux_gps. it wouldnt let me copy it, but i did manage to delete it (wreckless i know). Since then everything is working great, for about 5 hours so far

Hi,

I have a carrier unlocked H918 TMobile model.

My issue is that it does not get Volte eventhough it is enabled in settings.

I am open to rooting and installing a custom rom also if it resolves the issue. Please help me out.

A thread on a similar issue is already open in this forum

https://xdaforums.com/v20/how-to/volte-option-gone-upgrade-to-android-8-t3884273

A fix for retaining the VoLTE that vanished after upgrading to Oreo via OTA for the Indian version users seem afar let alone for an imported/unlocked device.

Maybe a few more details might be handy for someone to help you out, like, if you've still got an active data connection, if there was a change in the phone that supposedly caused this, viz. an OS upgrade, etc like other users experienced.

No VoLTE on Jio equals no phone functionality, unless you've got their ad-packed Jio4G app for calls and messages.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] V@run:
4G Data connection works. I actually got it on eBay and at the time of purchase the listing was "Jio supported" but I could never check it then. I ported to Jio network recently(after Oreo update) and then only found out that no Volte is there. There is a toggle for Volte in settings but it is of no use.

I'm pasting the content that was copied from reddit on a similar issue

"You can download the QuickShortcutMaker app from the Play Store.

In the QSM app, search for 'Advanced Calling'. Press the down arrow next to 'Settings' in the list. Mine had 2 options. The first is 'AdvancedCalling' and other is 'AdvancedCallingSwitch'.

Choose one, and click 'Try it'."

The above italicised text is by the reddit OP.

This method worked for me. I didn't have the VoLTE toggle option though. You may want to give this a go.

The e-bay imports have almost always been a foxy business. I can't find it much different than OLX or Quikr. You can't really trust the biz unlike Flipkart/Amazon. Plus, US & other international variants may not fully agree with Indian standards.

Use the Jio SIM in slot 1.

Follow instructions from the previous post.

Have you asked LG about this issue?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] V@run:
Their customer service was worst. They refused to even take a look at the device citing the reason that it's an unlocked model (H918) and not the official Indian model(H990DS).
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] V@run:
LG did it the LG way and doomed a fantastic device. It was certain to fail from the start itself for being an LG. Then the screen retention came up making the process quicker. Sad to see how the first device to run Nougat out of box had to be stuck on Nougat for almost 2 years. They could only come up with Oreo for a flagship device at the time when even budget segment devices were starting to receive Pie.

Also heard a news that LG will bring Pie to V20 after all though only after Q3 2019 when others will be waiting for Android Q.

I strongly believe they will repeat that G4 Nougat fiasco with only a few regions getting an unoptimized build of Pie.

If any other manufacturer could build on the V Series model. The concept, design everything is brilliant but it just had that LG logo in the front.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] daftdrift:
Happy to help :)

I can't say this could be completely blamed on LG with issues of international variants of devices. Imported models could face compatibility issues. Even my issue might have arisen due to some setting i might have tweaked before the update. And, this is the one phone that i didn't try rooting.

What i felt wasn't initially welcoming was that they have always the one answer to any of your issue- visit the service centre. But then, i couldn't ask for more because they dont need to assist or educate me regardless of how technically savvy i am. Still, they suggested me to change the APN settings, which didn't work.

Hi all,

This might have been asked earlier, but I'm still having a problem understanding the concept of multi-CSC in Samsung Galaxy S9

I have a G960-F Dual Sim and according to Samsung Phone INFO I have the following CSC:

Original CSC Code: Blank

Firmware CSC Code: Blank

Active CSC Code: NEE

Available CSC Codes: Blank

I understand that NEE is part of the OXM Multi CSC with among others DBT (German unlocked)

What happens if I flash the DBT OTA on my NEE device?

- Will my CSC change?

- Will that void warranty?

- Will it trip knox?

- Are there any consequeces of doing it?

If you are not able to boot a patched boot image or a twrp image on Android 10, here is a workadound.

Hay Guys!

One of the most important things on Android is to make backups. Every time you want to root or flash something, make backups!

I saw many people struggling with OTA because they didn't make backups to restore there images.

=========================================================================

If you DONT have any backup, but you want to restore stock, I'll upload all my stock backups as well as all patched boot images in this mega:

https://mega.nz/#F!52B0HCID!A1k8PiGn9OQbiEa_IJ3_EQ

This is just in case something went wrong with you backup. You should still make your own backups!!!

=========================================================================

In this post I will show you how to create a backup and how to restore it.

There are 2 ways to backup your Phone images.

TWRP:

Reboot ur phone into bootloader

You can do this via adb

adb reboot bootloader

You can do this by holding volume down + power button while your phone is connected to USB.

Boot into TWRP. you can use the TWRP image from my mega. DO NOT FLASH IT!!!

fastboot boot twrp.img

Hit the Backup button and backup boot image, system image and vendor image.

If you want to restore this images, you can restore them with TWRP. Just hit the restore button.

This may not work for all Devices. But you can flash the images via fastboot too.

The fastboot files looks like boot.emmc.win. Dont worry, this is img file. So you can rename it to boot.img or something.

ADB:

1Reboot ur phone into bootloader

You can do this via adb

adb reboot bootloader

You can do this by holding volume down + power button while your phone is connected to USB.

Find out your current slot

fastboot getvar current-slot

Boot into a patched boot image.

fastboot boot patched.img

Your phone shoud boot up. If it does,

then open ADB.

In ADB type there commands to dump the images.

Get root access by typing the "su"

Dump your boot, system and vendor from your current slot you found out on step 2

(The commands for dumping an image are below)

If you want to restore this images, you can restore them via fastboot.

fastboot flash [boot_{current-slot}/system_{current-slot}/vendor_{current-slot}] <image file>

Replace the {current-slot} with your current slot.

Example:

Current slot is a and you want to restore the boot image.

fastboot flash boot_a boot_a.img

If you still have Questions or need help, feel free to pm me.

Also you can leave a comment under this post.

Commands for dumping images:

#Backup A boot:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p52 of=/sdcard/boot_a.img

#Backup B boot:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p53 of=/sdcard/boot_b.img

#Backup A vendor:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p83 of=/sdcard/vendor_a.img

#Backup B vendor:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p84 of=/sdcard/vendor_b.img

#Backup A system:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p81 of=/sdcard/system_a.img

#Backup B system:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p82 of=/sdcard/system_b.img

[Nokia 6.1 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussion] ¥sBielefeld:
Nokia changed the Bootloader unlock algorithm with the August patch. So you need to be pre August patch.

A B slots work work like this:

Start: A(June)B(June) Currentslot A -> OTA UPDATE -> A(June)B(July) Currentslot B -> OTA -> A(August)B(July) current slot A and so forth.

So. If you are on Slot A and you have Januar installed, you B slot is on December. This means, switching the Slot does not help you with the bootloader unlock.

You have to downgrade.

Yes you can use OST LA for downgrade if you are unlocked. Make sure you are critical unlocked too.

I'm too much confused worried about flashing stock ROMs in nokia6.1. This procedure is seams to be very tricky. which means, there is no official way to go back to stock via any official method? let me know if any.

Secondly, what's the sense of multi slots in these devices. "slot A" and "slot B". What are the differences? Provide some technical info about these slots separation.

I'm thinking to flash custom ROM on my TA1043, but really confused due to this unknown, unexpected and unofficial way of going back to stock. Please clarify a bit.
[Nokia 6.1 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussion] ¥sBielefeld:
You can flash stock firmware via OST LA.

The only official way is via Nokia service center.

Multislot devices are for seamless updates. This means, you dont have any downtime. Every time a OTA updates comes out, ur device install the update in the inacrive slot. If the Update is finish installing, the device reboots into the other slot. In case the Update failed or the installation is currupted, ur device will fall back into the other slot and trys to install the update again.

So A/B devices have no downtime on updates and fall back to the working slot when an update falies.

Your phone have 1 /data but 2 /boot /system etc. on /boot on A and one on B. Both slots share the same /data.

I hope this clarifies things a bit.

Hi ¥sBielefeld,

Is it possible to use your stock images as a way to install monthly releases? For example if I have your september stock image, can I just flash boot system and vendor of october's? What if the phone is rooted can i just flash the patched system image? I've lost the ability to OTA unfortunately even after clean flash of boot system and vendor
[Nokia 6.1 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussion] ¥sBielefeld:
If you flash the stock system, boot and vendor for your current security update, you should be able to get OTAs.

In case you cant update, re-flash stock firmware. You can find the files and the flashing script here: https://fih-firmware.hikaricalyx.com/hmd_en.html

You should be able to flash them yes. I never tested it but a few ppl did this.

Flashing the patched_boot image will give you root.

btw. I also updated the mega to November :)
[Nokia 6.1 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussion] sakuragi-kun:
Thanks I'll try this as soon as I have time. But btw flashing the the three root directories you mentioned didn't allow me to OTA ( I flashed both partitions). The only explanation I have is

1. The phone remembers the original firmware which is different from the three directories you provide (different TA version perhaps) so the chechsums don't match and the update fails.

Since the phone information (IMEI etc.. ) is stored somewhere other than those three directories. I'm not sure a factory reset would actually help my situation, perhaps worth a try.

If that does not work. I'll flash the firmware you mentioned. In the meantime I'll keep using the images you provide. Thanks so much by the way. These images have helped me lots!

Also thx for uploading stock backups! :good:
[Nokia 6.1 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussion] ¥sBielefeld:
Oh yea. Since Android 10 you can no longer boot twrp or images. You have to use fastboot now to flash them.

Here is a little how to if you wanna root your phone with Android 10. I will edit the original post as well.

In case you are unrooted on Android Q:

1. Reboot to bootloader

2. Flash a patched boot image.

- Now you are rooted

3. Create a backup for Magisk (https://xdaforums.com/mi-a3/how-to/guide-create-manual-backup-stock-boot-t3988345)

- When an OTA is available

1. First restore the stock boot image (Magisk Manager → Uninstall → Restore Images). DO NOT REBOOT!

2. After restoring stock boot image, apply OTAs as you normally would (Settings → System → System Update).

3. Wait for the installation to be done, do not press the "Restart now" or "Reboot" button!

4. Install Magisk to the inactive Slot (Magisk Manager → Install → Install to Inactive Slot)

5. Reboot your phone.
[Nokia 6.1 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussion] Machi007:
Boot TWRP and images is possible also on Android 10, but it needs some workaround...

1) Turn phone into Download Mode

2) Use command fastboot flash recovery twrp.img where twrp.img is your TWRP image you want to boot up

It shows this error (it is OKAY):

Sending 'recovery' (43004 KB) OKAY [ 1.078s]
Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: '(recovery_a) No such partition')
fastboot: error: Command failed

3) Now you can boot your TWRP recovery image, for example: fastboot boot twrp.img

Sending 'boot.img' (43004 KB) OKAY [ 1.014s]
Booting OKAY [ 4.552s]
Finished. Total time: 5.623s

After this procedure your Nokia 6.1 with Android 10 really boots up into TWRP recovery!
