[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Atkfonzye:
Hey guys,

Got a short question,I have Android Pie on my G965F,I flashed it myself.....question is can I disable OEM unlocking ? Will something bad happen ?

PS : I never enabled this option,I want to disable it because some applications that I use like Netflix acn't be found on Google Play Store since I bought the phone and now I'm finding out that my device is not Play Protect certified and I think this is the reason.

So will it brick my phone ? Or everyrhing will be back to normal ?

Thank you !
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Atkfonzye:
Solved it....If someone has a stock recovery and rom on SM-G965F and cannot install applications because OEM unlocking is turned on inside Developers options,it's safe to turn it off.

Notice :This will put your phone at factory settings,so backup.

I have a galaxy s6 edge+ rooted with stock rom 7.0 and the latest update of lspeed caused most apps not able to access the data network. Anyone else having this problem?

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] hellodmo:
I'd like to update to a more recent security version....

I bought my V30+ online from BREED (an Amazon reseller). The hardware model number, according to the phone, is LG-US998. According to LG (on their website), it's an LG V30+T (Sprint). I'm on AT&T. The phone works on AT&T just fine.

I called Sprint, and they have the IMEI in their system, no lost or stolen, but they won't unlock it.

I'm stuck on US99820e (September 1), and LG Bridge says "Cannot check the software version. Try again." (MTP, backup, everything else works). I've tried it on my Macbook, and on a Windows 10 machine. Neither option works, and both give the same error.

I called LG, and they couldn't find any way to connect to LG Bridge.

No OTA update available.

What are my options for updating here? The phone is not currently unlocked (checked this via ADB). Do I need to unlock to use LGUP and flash a later kdz file, or can I just flash it on top of what I have? I'm aware I'd need to unlock the bootloader, etc, in order to use TWRP. Or should I just wait?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Bought US998, found out it's former LS998 -- no updates

Former LS998 orH931 converted to US998 -- no updates

Many of the US998 found on eBay are actually former North America variants from other carriers -- most often from carrier locked Sprint LS998 and AT&T H931. Flashing to US998 firmware SIM card unlocks these phones and gives them fastboot flash commands. Here on XDA, we do this all the time, either for carrier unlock/updates and/or part of the WTF bootloader unlock and root process.

This North American variant conversion is called

"Frankenstein" conversion

. Your former LS998 is fully US998 and now has these bands:

http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-US998-Unlocked-v30

US998

CDMA: 800 MHz CDMA

2G GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

3G UMTS (HSPA):850/900/1900/2100 MHz

4G LTE Bands: 1/2/3/4/5/7/12(17)/13/20/25/66

Many eBay dealers use the Frankenstein conversion because it's easier to sell carrier unlocked US998 phones than Sprint locked LS998 phones. Also, for AT&T H931 and Sprint LS988, those carriers only give updates to current customers via OTA; they do not publicly release KDZ. So, for non-customers with those phones, converting to US998 gives easy access to KDZ updates -- like posted in this forum. I've bought LS998 V30+ phones myself and immediately converted them to US998 via Frankenstein to use on AT&T.

UPDATE THE PHONE:

Just update via LGUP from the US998 KDZ thread. Takes 5 minutes and you can be on latest US998 KDZ.

Download the

most recent KDZ from the US998 KDZ thread

and use "Upgrade" option in LGUP. Use attached LGUP in post #1 of that thread. Installation instructions for LGUP are also in post #1 of that thread.

No need to

unlock bootloader and install TWRP

just for updating stock firmware. However, you can do that in the future if you want to add additional functionality. ;) For instance, to fully enable DTS 3D stereo on the US998 you need root. To have the call recording feature, you need root. To enable all the LG lock screen weather animations you need root. To enable dual speaker mode, you need root. But just to update stock firmware you do not need root.

Okay, so bizarrely, I think I was trying that at the same time as you writing this....

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
May need to reinstall drivers, may need to go into Download mode manually before opening LGUP. May need to change ports.

Look at the troubleshooting tips in this post:

CONVERTING ANY NORTH AMERICA V30/V30+ TO US998 OREO

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] hellodmo:
I almost always have a heart attack and think my old Windows computer is going to pick the upgrade moment to crap out on me and it never does. I imagine myself out $400 for a nice new phone, and crying about it to my wife, who would certainly be rolling her eyes, and wondering why I don't just stick with iPhone because it's easier.

None of that happened. Except for me inadvertently choosing "refurb" mode instead of upgrade mode, and thus wiping all my user data and having to get it from the cloud all over again, everything looks like it went swimmingly well and I'm on the latest update.

Thanks!

(Just to confirm... I DID hit the refurb button, right? Even in download mode, hitting upgrade wouldn't have cleared my data, correct? No big deal either way. I'm used to setting up my phone again and again, but I just wanted to confirm.)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Refurb is the default option in LGUP -- so you probably did not choose anything. If you have chosen upgrade, that would have kept your data. About a month ago I was updating my wife's phone while doing three other things at once... It quickly and completely wiped the entire phone because "refurbish" was chosen. ARghhhh. I spent the next three hours setting up her phone again. :rolleyes: Normally I'm more careful.

Refurb can be useful in some situations, but in your instance (and my recent one) "upgrade" is what was wanted. This screenshot below is from months ago, but still shows the two "refurbish" and "upgrade" options.

Still you now have your US998 updated, and you know what to do in the future.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] hellodmo:
And then I woke up this morning and installed TWRP and Magisk to get Dolby.

I'm hopeless. :D
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Which means you after refurb-upgrading to US998 20G last night and setting up your phone again... Then this morning you temporarily downgraded back to US998 20a or 20b, unlocked the bootloader using the WTF instructions, installed TWRP and Magisk. And by now you've probably flashed the [MENTION=6815443]JohnFawkes[/MENTION] TWRP-flashable US998 20G zip file to upgrade back to current firmware, while having additional functionality with root -- and actually being the admin of your phone.

(The only thing you didn't have to do was the Frankenstein from Sprint LS998 firmware to US998 in the first place. The dealer did that for you.)

Still, I'm actually impressed you did all that in so little time from knowing basically nothing about this phone last night. ;) Kudos. I like success stories like that.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] hellodmo:
I'm a software dev myself (NodeJS/AngularJS), so computers and stuff aren't foreign to me. I'm just cautious by nature when it comes to this stuff.

Full sequence (for posterity, or anyone else looking to do the same)

Last night: (using patched LGUP) Set to download mode and upgrade to 20G.

(This morning): Download Nougat kdz, Oreo Pre-July kdz, new_unlock.bin, encryption de-verifier, rctd disabler, Magisk 18, TWRP, TWRP-enabled 20g zip.

Set to download and downgrade to Nougat (refurb mode) (per your instructions)

Factory reset the phone (to be safe)

Set to download and upgrade to Oreo "a" (upgrade mode).

Partial phone setup - enable USB debugging and Unlocking bootloader.

Connect phone to Mac (More comfortable there)

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash unlock new_unlock.bin

fastboot reboot

(Setup steps to reenable USB debugging)

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot getvar unlocked (verified unlocked)

fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img.

fastboot boot TWRP.img.

Swipe to allow modifications.

Backed up the system to SD Card.

Wipe Data -> Factory Reset.

Wipe Data - Format Data (this failed initially)

Reboot to recovery.

Redo step 18, this time with success.

Install magisk.

Install encryption disabler.

Install root check disabler.

Reboot (I'm honestly not sure if the last three steps are necessary)

Reboot to bootloader (force phone to "factory reset" menu, and click yes through it... that got me to TWRP.)

Flash 20g.zip.

Flash Magisk.

Reboot.

Setup for real.

Download AnxiousOS Magisk module and install (within phone).

Currently waiting for the phone to restore apps, etc, then I'll reboot.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Great.

The only thing you personally didn't have to do -- since you were already on US998 Oreo -- was downgrade back to Nougat. You just needed to downgrade from US998 20G back to pre-July US998 Oreo (20a or 20b).

For people converting from LS998 to US998, they HAVE to do the US998 Nougat first before going to US998 Oreo -- they can't just jump from LS998 firmware to US998 Pre-July Oreo; LG put some check in there that prevents that. So, going to US998 Nougat bypasses that, then they can upgrade to US998 Pre-July Oreo. Still, those extra steps I'm sure gave you more practice with LGUP. ;)

But your checklist is perfect for those having to convert from LS998 to US998 and then going through the bootloader unlock/TWRP/root process.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Try flashing just 20G TWRP flashable zip and reflash Magisk. Set up, see if you have audio.

It not, then flash 20F TWRP flashable zip and reflash Magisk. Set up see if you have audio.

Hold off on Anxious module until you verify audio.

No, it's not for h930. That's an issue with the hosting site which categorizes all V30 as H930, due to the first developer who registered his H930 V30.

You can now flash the Anxious Magisk module if you wish. Of course, make TWRP backup...
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] JohnFawkes:
There isn't anything I can do about the no sound thing. Since you bought a phone that was already converted it is most likely a refurb. It seems like other users who had this issue (its mentioned in the us998 thread) were coming from aosp and had no sound. It's very likely your device was on aosp at one time. The flashable zip is just the kdz converted into a flashable zip. If its not giving sound its nothing I can fix. Its on lg unfortunately.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] hellodmo:
After installing Magisk and AnxiousV30, it all seems to work, with the sole exception of the dual-speaker mod (I'm not sure what to expect here... I try playing music through the speaker, and I'm kinda expecting it to come through the earpiece and the speaker at the same time). In any case, all seems well.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Yeah, with dual speaker it does come through the earpiece also, but can't be as loud as the bottom speaker. Now when watching videos for instance, helps to have some audio directed towards your face.

---------- Post added at 08:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------

Yeah, but he flashed full KDZ in refurbished mode in LGUP at least twice before even unlocking his bootloader.

Issue is fixed now by flashing 20F, then 20G. Strange...

Maybe the issue stemmed from trying to flash the Anxious Magisk module before setting up the phone? It changes some stuff with audio. Maybe the phone was confused.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] JohnFawkes:
Doubt it. He's not the only person with issues. I still think he's got a refurb and it had aosp at one time. The only people that have issues with it are people going from aosp to stock. Why? No clue.... But i doubt it's anything I can do.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mrxyzl:
yeah lok like LG did something about audio between 20e , f and G and completely mess up the audio coming from and to aosp. Though i admit that 20G audio is improve a lot from 20 E

Well they did stuff with audio in all those versions lol. They added dts. That requires quite a bit of changes to the audio framework

My moto x4 device with android 9 is recognized by the pc when it is on, but in fastboot mode the pc is unable to recognize it, I have already downloaded all the necessary drivers, tested on two different PCs, used all the USB ports, installed the ADB and FASTBOOT, gave the command via cmd to restart in the fastboot, but it simply seems that nothing I do is able to fix this, in the device manager the following information appears:

unknown usb device (device descriptor request failed)

I've tried to update and uninstall, but nothing happened too, remembering that when the device is on it works perfectly on USB.

My operating system is windows 10.

I found setting all the default apps fixed a lot of the crashes. In the settings find Installed Apps -> Default Apps, then set all the apps to something. The error in a lot of cases was due to Android not knowing which app to use when opening links, etc.
