[SOLVED]

I apologize for my stupidity...

On a recent trip to China I recklessly purchased the used TAB A 10.1 model SM-P585Y.

The tablet worked perfectly, but when I came home I did a reset to clean it and once restarted the system remains with the FRP Lock.

The operating system is Oreo and I can't load any more twrp.

If I downgrade to Marshmallow, it doesn't reboot but only enters Factory Recovery mode...

In this mode, if I enable the Developer Option and then usb Debugging in the settings, there is no trace of the OEM unlock.

I can't load TWRP with odin nor with ADB (but maybe I don't do the correct procedure...)

If I do the update again at Oreo there is no recovery...

This is because when I flash Oreo with Chimera, the image file in the firmware is greater than the PIT, so I have to skip otherwise it stops.

When I start the system only arrives at the google account screen but I can't go any further, not even by opening a sort of chrome browser reduced by touching the google sign from one of the info screens that I can access from the keyboard settings.

Can someone please help me?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] steven.rn:
Any chance of turning off FRP through the Google account of whoever's account was on the tablet once you had it? I thought you could disable that by logging into Google with that account and turning it off via the web.

Then again, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, others probably know much better.

Good luck!

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ern88:
Just wondering if anyone had any inside info when Pie will officially be released for the V30 from LG?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
LG says Q2 2019. So, sometime between April and end of June.

That was my prediction from the beginning -- last year when it started being discussed. And I was right. LG finally confirmed it in January.

Basically about the same time of year they delivered Oreo last year.

Sent via open market LG US998 V30/V30+
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] redoregon:
I heard those dates for the Korean version, which would put us in 3q.

Desperately hoping that's wrong!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
No, because the article also specifically mentioned the V30S, which is a US998 variant. All US998 firmware is the same for US998 V30/V30+/V30S.

https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/...dule-for-south-korea-v35-and-v40-are-up-next/

Even if LG tried to release Pie for just US998 V30S, it's still ALL of US998. :p Well, I mean I would feel sorry for the H930 variants and H932, but the rest of North America variants can flash US998 firmware. ;) But I'm fairly certain it's ALL V30 variants in Q2. You can't say V30 and V30S and then leave out any.

From the

Reddit thread:

See attached screenshot, where I highlighted the V30 part...
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] SGCMarkus:
Not all V30S are US998 variants though :P

The V300LW/KW/SW are korean V30S(+). So could very well be that "we" all will receive pie only in Q3, while the koreans still get it in Q2.

One thing is certain, LG is not a brand for those who love having an updated phone, given this behavior, my next smartphone will certainly not be LG !!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
[MENTION=3475147]SGCMarkus[/MENTION], thank you for the information about the Korean V30S. I hadn't run across the Korean variants of the V30S, but with the model numbers you supplied it was now easy to find.

I also knew while initially LG had also announced a 256GB V30S+, I never saw any proof it actually released. Here in the U.S. only the 128GB V30S was released, basically a V30+ with 6GB RAM.

But here are the details for anyone else who is interested in the V30S:

If you want quick updates, you get a Pixel phone. Period. No OEM has quick updates
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Gynlemon:
I still have a Nexus 5 in a drawer and I know the Google updates, you don't have to tell me what I have to take, when Huawei, Samsung, Xiaomi, Nokia, Asus, Motorola .. etc etc .. they already have Android 9, once LG was held in step but lately, on the software side, it is not its value

Bye
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] partylikeaninjastar:
If you want quick updates, you go Google. All those OEM's listed still update slow. Maybe except for Nokia, which no one is buying anyway. Everyone else is all pretty slow.

People aren't buying any of those guys for the updates. They're buying them for what the phones offer out of the box.

If you bought an LG phone and you were seriously expecting reasonable updates, you haven't been paying attention.

So go whine about not buying an LG phone again because it's not being updated fast enough for you. That should have been apparent with their history of slow updates.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Gynlemon:
We could talk from here to infinity .. you think how you want, I and I think many other people will no longer buy LG, End of story !!

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Can we just all agree we know LG is bad about updates? No need to go back and forth.

Yet LG promised about a year ago to do better. So there's some disappointment there, in spite of their acknowledged bad history before that.

Bravo, you caught my mind and I believe also of other users ..

I love my V30 +, I just don't like the LG updates policy, that's all ..:fingers-crossed:
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] partylikeaninjastar:
It's old news that LG is bad about updates. Everyone should know that. It's foolish to have believed their promise that they would do better without any substantial proof to support that claim.

I got the V30 because it was a good purchase out of the box. I bought this phone knowing that I'd be upgrading to a phone with the latest software before this phone was updated. I've used a lot of LG phones. [emoji2377]

They don't surprise me. They shouldn't surprise anyone at this point. I'd have been surprised if they lived up to their promise for faster updates.

Now three more are going to get pie
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] crumbling9999:
Phones that shipped with treble/Oreo gets Pie quickly because 60% of the upgrade is done already, at worst it'll need some new drivers for the vendor partition. Non-treble phones will need to transition to treble, which require a repartition. Given that its a dangerous process to do, especially over the air, its no surprise the update is delayed for testing.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] SGCMarkus:
Thats not really how this works... Updating to Pie doesnt require (the support of) Treble (therefor no repartitioning or whatever needed).

Phones shipped with Oreo are required to support treble, yes.

Phones shipped with Pie are too, but also have to use System-as-root and a few other things.

Upgrades from one android version to another dont enforce the needed things required that phones need to have that are shipped with that version, they are only optional.

So... its very unlikely we will get official treble.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
As [MENTION=3475147]SGCMarkus[/MENTION] says, the LG V30/V30+/V30S (JOAN) is never getting official Treble. It's not a requirement for phones that launched prior to Oreo and would possibly screw up stuff.

I think that LG has to change quickly the updates policy. I thought the creation of the update center could solve the problem but it doesn't. If they want to enter in the consumers heads and pockets ☺, they most do that, because they build phones wild awesome quality!

P.S: I'm a super-happy owner of a V30

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ern88:
Almost half way through Q2. I wonder if there is even a beta release in South Korea testing Pie on the V30.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
The end of June will come soon enough. ;) A watched pot never boils.

These companies never say H1 and deliver in January. They never say Q2 to deliver in April. V35 was originally going to be Q1, but they pushed it to Q2 -- which is why it came relatively early in Q2. It was just an over-deadline Q1...
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ern88:
So in other words. Maybe by the end of the year for Pie to hit the V30 then. Lol
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] CunhaPT:
I don't understand why there are some brands with new Android Q beta, and LG always always delayed in updates! They don' t care about us. And the result is of course a big loss in cash! I love my phone but its sad this long waiting!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] trouble.:
Lg g8 is one of who r getting Android Q beta
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ern88:
The G8 is getting Q beta... Only in South Korea though. I should have researched better on LG updates before I bought the V30. If I knew it took a year or so for major updates. I wouldn't have bought it. This will be my last LG phone.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] kenbo111:
It's the same with most phones. The only sure way to get early upgrades is to buy a Pixel. The G8 Q beta is coming from Google. LG has little to do with it.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ern88:
The Android Q beta for the G8 is only for South Korea users. LG won't even give its other customers that bought the phone the option to try the beta. What a shame.

LG said that the V30 Pie update would be released Q2 this year. And here we are almost starting Q4 and no f%<+ING Pie update. Hell, I haven't had a security patch since March. And that was actually for a Feb security patch. Just fold up the mobile division LG. Just cut the loses.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
No, because the hardware is excellent.

If you don't want LG, go buy something else. But don't take the LG phones away.

Their problem like other corporations is when they promise deadline it's always the END of that time window, never the beginning. When they actually started then they ran into issues.

Oh beleive me. This will be first and last LG phone I will be buying. They can take their so called "LG software update center." and shove it straight up their candy a$$es!! (credit: The Rock)
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Blueice87:
Why are you so frustrated about updates? Is your phone not working properly?

Even if my V30 had Lollipop or something I would loved it exactly as much as if it had Android Q. Who cares about a number written deep inside the settings menu!!!

If your phone is working great, has everything you need, then that's it. The V30 is more than great, it's one of the best phones you can have today.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] P.K.Shivaram:
Yes, it is a really great phone and i love it. But at least they should release security update as monthly basis.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] SGCMarkus:
They released it in Q2 though... in Korea, and thats what counts for LG, other regions ... thats another thing.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] tech_infinity:
For all regions to get it timeline is probably Q2, 2020 :P

Tell me this, have you ever been affected by a security flaw........? If not, what's all the fuss about?

Smh......
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
I am not being an apologist for LG in any way on this, but any effort made to release any more Oreo updates will further delay Pie updates. They INTENDED to release Pie by end of June, so they stopped working on Oreo altogether. Now they are trying to make Pie work, and they aren't going back to Oreo.

And to be honest, they probably only have like 5 or 6 people working on all the V30 variants. This is why they stagger the releases. They can't release Pie for ALL variants all at the same time. They probably have other teams working on G6, V40, G7, etc.

No, I have no inside contacts in LG but for over 20 years I worked for a Fortune 100 company, and I know how major corporations like that are structured.

They have more people working on FUTURE phones than people working on past phones. Those phones have already been sold and they aren't going to make any more money on them. What LG doesn't realize is how they treat past phones HELPS or HURTS future phone sales.

But LG nailed the hardware and features on the V30, and then the early Oreo WTF bootloader unlock exploit made them PURE GOLD.

You want timely updates.... Get a Pixel and stop whining here about Pie.. Google phones are just about the only ones with consistent updates... Jesus Christ.... It's just another android system with a few feature updates and probably more bugs you don't want to deal with..

Hmm, lets see how they are come-up with Pie update and how much they will take to release for Indian variant. but still the V30 Plus is worth the money phone. I am using it as my daily drive.:)

In my mind. LG should at least release Security updates more often then they are now. My last update was for a Security patch that was for February. That's unsat for a company like LG. LG just doesn't give a sh!t about security vulnerabilities. LG mobile is a failure.

I really don't understand you about security updates. As you may know it's almost impossible to exploit and root snapdragons from 820, 835 until the latest. And that's with the device on hand. Imagine a hacker located elsewhere.

I understand having updates with changes in ui, style, functionality, but never with security updates.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] BROKEN1981:
Are you kidding me? You can't even explain what the newest OS would actually DO for the device.

The only thing that actually matters is what version of LG UX the device is on.

I mean, you can grab a Pixel, have the latest OS and be 4 years behind the features that LG actually has.

People like you just want to update for the hell of it. Also before you even "but mah optimizations"......

Can you list them? Because LG optimized the OS pretty well. I don't want Google to touch more then they have too.

Every Pixel that came out has nothing but software issues. Even the OG Pixel still did not get fixed yet.

Only reason that slides is due to most users are former Nexus users who are used to getting devices that are lemons to begin with.

This is why they have a hard time trying to convert Apple users . Just ask a few Apple users that tried a Pixel. They will tell you it's buggy crap.

Buy an iPhone, your standards on the OS will increase.

I'm excited for Pie because I can use double-tap to sleep on Nova Launcher. Using that on Oreo disables the fingerprint sensor for waking/unlocking the phone (security issue). On Pie that problem is fixed. I don't like notification controls for individual apps on Pie (I prefer Oreo style).
