It's not the best display when it comes to the viewing experience, but still a great display.

Not the best display for sure. But not bad in anyway. I only say this by the way because I've used a Samsung galaxy S8 for last 14 months or so. Now Samsung makes the best displays period. So coming from one of theirs to another will be a slight downgrade. However the v20 still has an excellent panel. Very good!

Honor View20, 8Gb RAM version.

I have just purchased Honor View 20 on 26th January 2019, and I have a question that urgently looking for the solution.

The microphone for this device seems to have problem while I m using it for Singing Apps, e.g.

Wesing, 欢歌

The sound quality is like "breaking sound"

While I m trying to use the system video recording, the sound quality is just perfect.

The breaking sounds will occurs while I m using the signing apps as mentioned above.

Hope to have a solution from u guys.

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

I try to unlock my xda neo (PM300) (o2 germany). How newbies are - they have to try out ... an now i got my xda busted :(

It doesn't boot anymore. The last thing i did, i wanted to install iprophet. Now i see the o2-splash where the IPL, SPL und GSM is on the screen.

I can't get access to the device, because no windows, no active sync :/

Anyone who can help me?

First one i want to get an windows mobile at the device. After this i think about it to unlock ... xD (I want to put a TMobile card on it)

Sorry for my bad english... and thanks in advantage
[G4] l3v5y:
Given that the device will partially boot up (it'll show the O2 screen), you should be able to recover the device. You will loose all of your data, but will save the device.

You will need to see if the device can enter bootloader. Hold down the camera button and soft reset. If a three colour screen appears you should be alright.

Have a look at this: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_recovery

One question: what are the numbers next to IPL and SPL?

Hi,

I’ve got an older Verizon LG V20 that’s been bricked. I hid it in a drawer for the past year or so, and stumbled across it again. If I can get this fixed, I’d love to update it and give it as a gift to an older friend who has a 6 yr old crap android phone. But first, some history…

-bought used in great shape and rooted with Dirty Santa to run on TMobile. I don't recall which ROM I used, but it was very stock minus the carrier apps. My wife had a chance to go to Italy, so we bought a 3rd party european SIM with 30 days of data and voice from Three UK. Short story is that the phone never recognized the SIM, but she used it to take some great pics during her stay.

-once back in the US, I decided to try a different ROM and I think I flashed the wrong files or something… it’s my fault but I honestly can’t recall if I loaded a Samsung image instead, or what exactly happened. :confused: :eek: :(

Currently, the phone boots ONLY into fastboot mode. ADB does not recognize the device, and I’m thinking that I’ve lost TWRP Recovery since I can’t enter Recovery Mode at all.

If I do hold Vol Down + Power, I get a Hard Reset menu, but nothing in there helps.

I tried using LGUP, but the device is "not recognized."

I’m at a loss as to what to do at this point. If there IS a way to un-brick this, I think it would make a great phone for a good friend.

If anyone has any suggestions, I’d love any ideas that you may have. I tried looking to see if any other threads cover this, but I’m not seeing anything with specifics or pointers to How-Tos. If I missed the relevant links, I’d appreciate being pointed to them.

Also…

-if I can return to Stock condition, I can then unlock the bootloader and flash a more current ROM again. Would I need to pick a new radio so it better matches TMobile vs the Verizon setup it originally came with?

thanks for reading!

Since you can get to fastboot why not flash a twrp to see if you will get recovery
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] motionmonk:
When I run fastboot in Terminal, I get a blank response-- that is, a simple carraige return with no info listed.

This is on a fresh Win10 install with the latest Platform Tools package (Justt adb & fastboot) from the Android Studio website.

Win 7 update

Ok, I've installed WIN7, Android Platform Tools (just ADB & Fastboot), LG drivers and LGUP.

Now when I do the fastboot command, I get a true response:

fastboot devices

VS995aa11a111 fastboot (where a=letters, 1=numbers)

YAY!

So at this point, if I load a TWRP.zip, would I be able to boot into Recovery, instead of fastboot mode?

I checked the official TWRP website, and the latest is TWRP 3.2.3-0.

EDIT: I looked in the LG Section, and it appears that there is not an official TWRP for the LG V20. Is that right?

Having gotten to the point where the laptop recognizes the phone, I really don't want to make a dumb mistake :silly:

fastboot help pages

Hi

I'm just a noob but I am interested in the problem you are having and am following it to see what comes up with it.

There is a good fastboot thread here:

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2277112

On the first page you have options to wipe before flashing - i.e. system, boot, data, RECOVERY etc,

Maybe give those pages a read while waiting for someone more knowledgeable to fix your phone...

Since you are not sure what happened maybe the modem was affected which I think is bad...

I think doing a "fastboot getvar all" might give you a status of what you are dealing with .... since it gives you versions

of things...

Anyhow, good luck reviving the phone - "rooting" for you haha!

secondhand2,

THX for the links! Those were very helpful!

No need to call yourself a noob... I think I outrank you in that department at this point! :p

I did try your suggestion of fastboot getvar all, and found something interesting...

when I did the command it returned (bootloader) unlocked:no

which I thought was WEIRD, since the phone -was- unlocked with a custom ROM before I messed things up.

I have attached a screenshot to this msg with the full info report.

So now I'm wondering if that's why my previous attempt at flashing TWRP failed?

Does this mean I have a soft-brick or a hard-bricked phone at this point?

I"m learning more through everyone's help and input, but I'm still lost as to where to go from here.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] secondhand2:
Hi,

I have a US996 and I unlocked it using the lg web site - they send a bin file that you can use to unlock the phone.

There are different exploits on different versions of V20 phones. THere are also versions of Nougat that have an anti rollback that stop you from going from a recent OTA update back to an older one that can be exploited to get root. For example, on the US996 I have., if I had bought it and it had been patched with 10p (not 100% sure which version was the cutoff point) even if the phone was unlocked, I might not be able to get root. So the versions of the ROMs/firmware are imnportant. As it happened I had the 10f version so rooting was possible - but I followed the threads on this site for my specific phone and stuck to STOCK rom's.

So I'm not sure about what ROM you have - i..e which version of the vs995 is rootable after you unlock the phone. And the unlocking method to use - I'm not familiar with dirty santa or lafsploit (might not have spelled that correctly). There is a tool called LGUP and a good thread on that below that I was reading but it is long read which is good for learning.

I can only point you to some threads - but unlocking is the next hurdle.

You might also want to use the latest TWRP and Magisk if you do get to root the phone. I used PHOENIX591's TWRP

- there is a good thread on that. https://xdaforums.com/v20/developme...-t3720239/post78529520?nocache=1#post78529520

Sorry I can't help you more with this - you do need to get the phone unlocked first. Some of these things are very device specific

I'm still keeping an interested eye on this... :)

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] secondhand2:
Hi cnjax

It is a bit difficult to read everything n get a clear picture sometimes. I'm hoping you would clarify something

If TWRP is not installed and the phone is unlocked but not rooted which method could be used to install oreo 20f?

Would you be forced to install 10f (nougat) to root and install twrp first before moving on to oreo?

In this scenario I assumed nougat was on the phone originally and it seems the phone is locked from the fastboot info given...but let's say it gets unlocked

Is there a method to install oreo first instead of starting with nougat and version 10f? If there is that would be awesome

Thank you!

Post #71 about dumping contents/partitions with lgup seems a good idea -

Then I would try fastboot oem unlock to see what happens but not sure if that can break the bootloader or not. I think you would be in a deeper hole if it went south on you. I'm not sure if doing fastboot oem unlock can be risky at this point
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] motionmonk:
Hi cnjax & secondhand2,

My guess is that I'm still below 10i in firmware when I originally rooted this beastie, but there's no way I can validate that at this time.

It sounds that my next hurdle is to unlock the bootloader; I will check out the LG website tonite and see if I can find the bootloader unlocks; that would make things simpler for me.

I do have LGUP, but I still cannot get it to recognize my device. I've also tried fastboot oem unlock and it laughed at me... just my luck. But it did help me feel that unlocking the bootloader is my next hurdle.

I'll report back once I have a chance to look for the LG bootloader unlocks.

thanks all!

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] cnjax:

Before you do anything, I re-read your op, if you use the button combo to enter twrp it's normal to see the factory reset options just select yes both times if twrp is still there it will boot into twrp without doing a factory reset, it's worth a shot

Sadly, the only Recovery Mode I've been able to activate is this one using Vol Down+Power at startup (see attached image). Here's what I get from the choices:

Continue Power up ---> fastboot

Factory data reset ---> confirmation dialog ---> fastboot

Wipe cache ---> fastboot

Power down ---> phone off.

you somehow have the stock aboot and not the dirtysanta boot loader installed. so twrp and any rom/modified system won't boot because locked bootloader (no way to unlock the bootloader on anything but a us996.USA or H918 besides dirty santa bootloader).

Hi Phoenix591,

That's making a lot of sense to me now. It goes a long way to explaining why I can't load past a certain point and why some fastboot commands are failing.

I have the TWRP.img file for the VS995, and the proper .kdz file as well. LGUP is installed.

I have some questions:

-when using LGUP, the phone is not recognized. I have LGUP up, and then attach the phone, and boot into Download Mode with Vol Up. LGUP reports that my Model is Unknown. How can I get around that?

-once I can get LGUP to recognize my phone, do I just download TWRP? or the VS995.kdz file as well?

Thanks for any ideas!

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Phoenix591:
grab the patched LG UP (replace the existing files in your current installation) from here and then use partition dl mode to bypass the model check. select every partition, because the bootloader put back to stock we can't leave anything modified, so redo dirty santa when its all finished to get root back.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] cnjax:
Search for the patched LGUP or LGUP with uppercut I believe one of those will help you get past the model not recognized
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] motionmonk:
Hi Phoenix591,

I grabbed the patched files, and replaced the LGUP.exe file and placed the common folder inside the model folder. I then connected the phone to the computer holding Vol+ to enter the Firmware Update mode.

Started LGUP, and I now have a recognized phone (see attached pic)! :good:

1. So just to make sure, I'm going to select the Partition DL option. In your previous post, you said to select every partition... so I should select Board DL as well? Any other options?

2. I'm assuming that I should load TWRP first, but should I also add the VS995.kdz file as well?

Since I'm not familiar with the partitions, I do't know if LGUP automatically sorts things into partitions based on file types, or if it's all manual placement.

I'm excited... this is that farthest that the phone as made it to so far! :o
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Phoenix591:
You cannot load anything unofficial with lg up. By partition dl I mean partition dl, not board dl. Use a vs995 kdz (preferably the older kdz you used to rollback to do dirtysanta because that's the next step to get root back). Once you select partition dl and the kdz it will show a partition list, with a select all button at the bottom, hit it and the only one you might uncheck, if it's in the list, is userdata

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] motionmonk:
Ok...

I went back through some archives and found the original *.kdz file from my original root, and used that inside LGUP.

Once I started the update process, it took about two minutes for LGUP to transfer the *.kdz, reboot once, and then LGUP reported Complete.

After that I disconnected the phone, took out the battery and started up. I'm still in fastboot mode.

There were no errors with the update process, and all seemed fine... should I be able to boot normally into a stock configuration, instead of fastboot mode?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Phoenix591:
Not sure what else to try ( should've been good), maybe lg up in upgrade mode now? Maybe try a reset with stock recovery?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] motionmonk:
At this point, I'm game for anything.

So if I understand you correctly, try using the *.kdz file in Upgrade mode?

Also, I'm not sure how to try the stock recovery at this point... I have very limited options (basically the same I had before LGUP):

Vol+ = Firmware mode

Vol- = LG System Recovery

All modes in the LG System Recovery go to fastboot mode.

I'll try out Upgrade in LGUP.

LGUP in Upgrade Mode is no joy. Same results as before, going straight to fastboot.
