[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] LameMonster82:
Hello, updating with lgup doesn't need to be with the refurbish option. There is an update option witch keeps data.

Usually other kdz models can't be flashed on other models (but certainly possible). That also goes for update files.

FOTA updates can't be extracted with simply opening it with a 7zip. Btw how did you get the link to that update?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] DeeBG:
Thanks for confirming the information about using the update option. Another XDA user, tycrek, was able to do the same with the aid of a modified dll file (which seems to be a requirement for getting official apps to recognize modified phones; LGUP Dualmode is nice too, even if you don't need to touch the dev side). I'm unsure what type of modifications their phone had from stock though (if any).

The used market is flooded with a lot of G7 phones that were originally Sprint models that have had the unlocked/Google Fi firmware flashed to them (there is an active thread here about the subject; one of the most prolific sellers of these phones is even actively posting replies). If anyone is unsure, go to the phone's Hardware Info in the Settings. If the model is LM-G710ULM but the S/N is blank, then it's likely one of these phones. OTA Updates as well as using Google Pay are both unavailable to these phones as well (flashing the Verizon firmware to the phone can supposedly fix both of these issues, however, I didn't know about this at the time and so I couldn't test it before getting a replacement).

As far as my use of 7-Zip, I was hoping that the file was, in reality, a zip file that just had its extension removed, but obviously, that's not the case =). I still want to figure out the format of this file and extract the contents from it (I'm just waiting for some free time to appear!) As far as obtaining the link, I was fortunate, in that my phone was due for an update that had already been released. Using the 1st method in this tutorial, I was able to capture the URL that my phone was updating from (LG seems to be making use of Limelight Network's CDN to give users faster downloads... I'm sure other files are being hosted as well, but I'm not sure how they could be located aside from trying to find a pattern in the naming scheme).

DON'T return to MIUI 9. You'll get antirollback. Download the lastest ROM from en.miui.com and go into EDL using "fastboot oem edl". Then plug the phone and mark "flash all but remain unlocked".

I just picked up a Gear S3 Frontier and have a lot of reading to do but before I start setting this watch up, is there anything that I should do or should avoid doing? I have read some people complaining about battery drain with the latest update....

Thanks
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Printerscape:
I feel like I'm overthinking this, and doing it so much more difficult than it should be. I have stock ROM, patched boot (with Magisk), and unlocked bootloader. When I try using the default update from my phone's "check update", it'll show "Installation Failed" error. This error still occurs with clean boot file as well.

So I had to do the following steps to actually get the update, and I feel like I'm over-complicating things:

What am I doing wrong // what is a more simpler method?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] goofball2k:
Assumption: You have TWRP recovery installed.

Download the OTA zip from Essential website to the internal phone storage

*Optional* Remove lockscreen security (PIN/Password/Pattern)

Ensure that you have TWRP zip and Magisk zip files on internal phone storage

Reboot to TWRP recovery

Install OTA zip, and then TWRP zip.

Reboot back to OS, to ensure that everything is loaded properly and device is up to date

Reboot back to recovery and then install Magisk

Reboot and all should be good.

You could probably amalgamate the last 3 steps and install Magisk right after TWRP but I like to ensure that the OTA worked.

You could also add in the step to perform a TWRP backup before flashing the OTA zip, if you wish.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Printerscape:
But when I flash TWRP by itself to boot (TWRP-3.2.3-0-mata.img), touch doesn't work, thus I have to flash the older hyp/rpm files.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] goofball2k:
If you have that problem, this img could be used to boot from, then you can flash the OTA and twrp zip file.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] gk1984:
If you have Magisk, it's even easier than others have said. Before taking the Ota, have Magisk Manager uninstall Magisk. It should restore the stock boot image. If you started with a patched boot image, this won't work though. Magisk backs up the stock boot image when you install Magisk either in TWRP or when you have it patch the boot image manually.

Then take the OTA. Before restarting, go back to Magisk Manager and install Magisk again, use the Direct method. If it says it was successful, reboot and you should be good.
[Magisk] notstevek:
Hi there,

I use/used to use CrossBreeder lite ( Github / XDA ), and it hasn't been updated in awhile by its developer. You can no longer install it if your Magisk version is greater than v16.3. The actual module works fine, that code doesn't need to be touched, as it works fine on my device on v18.1 (which had the module installed since v15), it's just the installation part that needs to be updated. I'm trying to update it using the latest Magisk Module Template, but I'm having some issues. I never made a Magisk module/Android app before. I got it to install, but, it's basically just a blank module, it won't install the actual main files (/sbin/.magisk/img/<module>/system/*). My updated repo is here, if an experienced dev could look at my newest commit and maybe tell me what I'm doing wrong, or missing/forgetting, or any other help would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

I have samsung galaxy j2 ace (SM G532G). I have rooted the phone (root checker says it is configured properly) and am trying to remove the bloatwares but they keep on coming back. Can I remove them once and for all?
[Samsung Galaxy J2 Questions & Answers] ShaDisNX255:
Depends on what you are removing bloat with.

I would suggest removing bloat yourself with a root explorer from system/app and system/priv-app

Then delete the data associated with it

Hi. I'm buying a new 6X here Vietnam this weekend. I'm a full-time student, so I'm looking forward to flash a ROM that is capable to drive my phone to around 5hrs30min SOT with mixed usage of SM and YouTube, around 30min of gaming as well. I have a power bank laying around just in case

I'm considering PE and LineageOS 15.1 and AOSPex :D I need root access and just basic Google Apps + ability to flash Gcam:laugh:

Also, how can I check my ARB status. I want to try A2 firmware to see which have greater battery life

Happy lunar new year:highfive:
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] verttl:
To check antirollback:

Boot into fastboot

Type

fastboot getvar anti

in cmd

If the result is less than 4 you dont have antirollback yet activated.

If you have 6x there's no need to convert to a2, since they mostly share same custom roms and for some reason 6x versions tend to outperform a2 variants in performance, batterylife and stability. Probably because 6x doesn't have that extra b-partition wich also makes it easier to flash and update roms, kernels and stuff.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Core_RP:
I'm getting 9 hrs sot with chrome/youtube and 1.5 hrs gaming on mi a2 with WiFi. Miui on 6x should be able to do even more. Even if I go gaming only it's sure 5 hours sot. So I'd advise not to get rid of stock rom as soon as you get phone. Your internet connection type has way more impact on battery than rom or kernel

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Ashton_Durkhun:
I bought my note 9 back in December when my note 4 finally because useless as a phone (Mic didn't work 90% of the time even after I replaced the mic/buttons/etc daughterboard :( ) and ever since it's been harassing me to update.

The main concern I have is whether this will affect my ability to root the phone in the future. Right now (or last I checked) I know there is no way to root the note 9 (though the main reason I root is for tethering, which, while a bit more clunky with WiFi tethering broken, PDANet is handling alright for now --- though after past mishaps I also worry the update may break it). Are we to the point where firmware even matters or is it still "There is no practical means of rooting visible in the future" so it doesn't matter?

And... if it does matter for possible future rooting is there any way to permanently hide the notification?

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] willhemmens:
You most certainly can root the Note 9 (I have one sat next to me at the moment) but you may not be able to root your Note 9. Which model do you have?

Which ever version it is though, if it isn't currently root-able then it's very unlikely to be in the future. Should a vulnerability be found in an older version, you could just flash that version on to the phone with Odin anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Ashton_Durkhun:
Mine wasn't rootable for some time I think, it's the Sprint/USA variant with 128gb (I think snapdragon...? it's getting early at this point and both memory and Google are failing me at finding the model number) which has locked bootloaders. Of Course this might be for the best since I'm being forced to lease-to-own the phone (I get my "upgrade discount" only as a month service credit over the length of the lease... so paying outright or even just paying it off early means I lose $250 --- or whatever % is left based on how early I pay it off) and I assume my warranty will remain until the end of the lease period. and as of right now its not a huge problem since the #1 reason I root is for tethering (which is working for the most part over PDANet) I'm mostly OK with the carrier stock settings (and there's enough storage that removing carrier bloatware isn't as dire as it used to be)

Glad to hear downgrading is so easy now, I'm still used to "welp once you upgrade that's it, there's no going back!" and it has just spent the last ~30 minutes installing 4 updates, though it was (hopefully) worth it since the last one was the Pie upgrade (not to mention my OCD is no longer triggered by that annoying notification...)

I have a problem with a lg g2 mini (lg d620), is bricked but only start in fastboot mode (is the correct mode?), im trying to enter fastboot commands because my phone is detected as *Android Bootloader Interface*, but all these commands that i put on cmd, finish on errors; the phone show this *failed writing block @1*, and the cmd window show *FAILED (remote: failed to erase partition)*

Well, i think the fastboot erase partition command will work, but end on error (Partition table doesn't exist)

If you asking what happened when i put fastboot flash commands, end on the same way (remote: flash write failure).

3) if No then if am use 64 bit Twrp and flash 32 bit rom accidentally ,can it will brick my device??

4) i am currently on stock rom android 7.0 , today most custom rom is based on 9.0 ,if I flash pie custom rom and after months i want revert back to stock or Oreo rom ,can i will do it? Because in some custom rom there is note that after flashing this rom you can not revert back lower version of rom.

5) where is rom take space if I flash it, means in ram ,internal storage???

Thanks in advance.i know this question is help for other noob:good:
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] strongst:
64bit recoveries can handle 32bit roms too. Use a 64bit recovery and everything is fine.

You cannot downgrade your bootloader from stock Oreo to stock nougat(your current Rom). Custom roms won't flash bootloaders,only stock roms.

Your whole flash storage of your device is divided into several partitions like system, data, boot, recovery, internal storage. That's why you have to deal with less memory in your internal storage(10 out of 16 for example).

You cannot(yeah, but don't do it) modify the partition size cause it's used to met some requirements.

The rom will be flashed into system/data partition, not internal storage but also uses ram of course :svetius:

Here's a link for the 64 bit TWRP https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-unofficial-touch-t3722206 for flashing both 32 bit and 64 bit custom ROMs and TWRP flashables.

Of course, unlocking your bootloader and flashing a custom ROM via TWRP will unavoidably erase your device, so back up as necessary. Be also aware that flashing a custom ROM may necessitate flashing magisk as well, to get your device Google certified again.

As for a particular ROM, your best bet is to have a look at each custom ROM's page and particularly the first page and the last few pages. Both of those should give you information on how suitable the ROM is from other user's reports for your usage and also give you an idea how often the ROM is updated.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] keval3492:
It is necessary for flashing magisk? Because magisk root my mobile and I don't want to do it right now.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
For some apps, like banking apps for example, these apps may not function properly if they detect an unlocked bootloader, or if your device does not pass Google Play Store certification. If you're wanting to flash a custom ROM or a TWRP flashable, then you may have to consider flashing magisk for magisk hide. Magisk hide helps to hide your unlocked bootloader status and thus may get your device certified to use these apps. Up to you - depends on if you use apps that won't work if they detect your device has an unlocked bootloader.
