[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheDannemand:
I would be very surprised if "those guys in China" don't follow activities and discussions here on XDA, since unlocking and rooting phones for other people is their business, and how they make their money...

Edit: No need to beat around the bush: If I had a monopoly in a certain area of business, I would watch closely any efforts to break that monopoly, and I would avoid doing anything to help those efforts.
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] vlad48:
I can not see an issue here as we have already 4 guys with JTAG box including the OP of this ebay auction. Just let us put one phone in 9008 mode and try it...

As I monitored one Chinese remote unlock I can confirm that no additional button combos or battery pull-outs were performed during this process.
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
Well, the procedure would be:

Flash g7 abl. On SD845 based phones, you can no longer wipe a partition and get 9008. However, you can flash a partition with a cert that doesn't match and get 9008.

Then use the box to flash the engineering abl. Reboot and your phone should be back to life with full fastboot.

[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] vlad48:
Then let me try to ask [MENTION=5566659]b8engl[/MENTION] if he has an opened V35 to try and check if flashing G7 abl only will result in 9008 mode.
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] b8engl:
The G7 and V35 has the same partition layout and in some areas they start in the same position and have the same lenght. Yo can flash diferent *.img with diferent RSA key doesn't matter, you will get a black screen, no download mode no boot, nothing.
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] vlad48:
[MENTION=5566659]b8engl[/MENTION] more than agree on that. My guess was - if you still have opened V35 and willing to help - just try to flash only abl from random G7 kdz and share with us if you achieve 9008 with that. It will be very easy for you to recover from 9008 because you have opened phone and JTAG box.

Also if this small test is successful - no further disassembling of the back cover will be needed to achieve 9008.
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
[MENTION=5566659]b8engl[/MENTION] on the SD808, 810, 820, 821, and 835 if you wipe / null out the tz partition, you can force 9008 (EDL) mode. On the SD845, you have to flash a valid signed partition, but with a bogus cert.

Since V35, G7, and V40 are all SD845, the abl should be valid, but the cert won't match, so we should have EDL mode by flashing a G7 abl.

If you have a box that can recover from that even if it doesn't go into EDL, please test it.

Brian, I don't know much about TrustZone... but I have already told vlad48 flashing abl won't work!
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] alex.coffen:
In one Chinese forum, there is a thread for LG V30 describing how to get in the 9008 mode:

http://bbs.gfan.com/android-9541010-1-2.html

Translate it to English:

Press power, volume+, volume- these 3 buttons at the same time to shutdown the phone;

At the moment immediately after phone is shutting down, release the power button, but still hold on the volume-, and continously fast press volume+ for many times;

Do it for more times if it does not work;

Then you get into 9008 mode.

EDIT: Now we successfully get into 9008 mode by the method above.

/Alex
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] vlad48:
Confirmed working! Thanks Alex!

Just do not give up and retry it for more than 30 times while your V35 is plugged to PC.

[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] vlad48:
[MENTION=5566659]b8engl[/MENTION] Sorry I really can not understand you.

You claim that you have a JTAG box and know how to bring a device to 9008 mode. You even sell this as a remote service...

All 3 JTAG boxes up to date use one and only firehose built in them:

prog_firehose_SDM845_LG_V35_ddr.elf

Now you are asking us how to dump it? (If this is the question and you are not familiar with WireShark just maybe [MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION] can guide you)
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] b8engl:
Right... you only understand what you want!

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 PM ----------

I have posted the file and asked for help with this, and no one care. Even now the only thing you do is acusing that I sold this on eBay. Why is so important now!? And if you say the loader is built inside the box, why ask? You seam to know more than me. I don't know why you ask for help...
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
The loadeder is encrypted and all the box does is decrypt it. If you can sniff the USB traffic of the box talking to the phone while in 9008 mode, and send me the packet capture, I can pull out the decrypted firehose.

Don't flash anything or the packet capture will be huge. Just get the box to talk to the phone and it will be decrypt the firehose and send it to the phone.

EDIT: actually, can you send me the loader, it may just be compressed.

Not trying to necro but... I bricked my phone trying to update to Pie. Well, I had it fixed by [MENTION=8187877]motogvasyag[/MENTION]. He updated it to Pie, took it back to Oreo, unlocked the bootloader and rooted it and then updated it back to Pie. I now have a fully up-to-date V35 running 9.0 Pie with working root via Magisk. I'm not sure of all the details that went into it but it proves it can be done somehow. He did all this remotely over TeamViewer.
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] hachiroku:
does this help us in anyway to identify an easier way to root without using OctoBox or Medusa or whatever those devices are?
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] MorningStarGG:
I'm not sure. I'm should be able to flash things now and possibly run TWRP. I'm fully rooted. Beyond that? I have no idea. I'm not a developer for Android regarding root or custom roms. I have used plenty on my past phones but I have never been a developer, just a regular rom user. So again, no idea if this helps or not as I'm just a regular user.
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] bacon612:
You have functional TWRP? It can read your data partition?
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] MorningStarGG:
I need TWRP image. There is no reason I shouldn't be able to boot it. I was trying to use a G7 image and had one I thought was working but I guess not. I found a test image someone posted somewhere but it didn't boot. So I'm not really sure. I attached images to show what I have going on.
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] bacon612:
Twrp is useless right now for LG 845 devices. It will boot but can't decrypt the data partition. If you format the data partition with twrp, twrp will read it fine but Android will boot seeing that data is no longer encrypted and it will force you to format and encrypt it again. It's a vicious cycle. The only real way you could potentially use twrp right now is to attempt to boot GSIs or custom roms (of which there are none)
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] MorningStarGG:
So I wouldn't be able to stop the encryption even with root? I could have sworn I could. And is it not the system partitions that are more important for modding than the data one?
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] bacon612:
You can try but no one has had luck. Here's the latest twrp. Try fastboot booting it. I think this one is also magisk 19.2 patched. Also, remember that when it fails as I described in the post above, it will force you to format data causing you to loose your data. So backup anything important before you fiddle.

EDIT: THIS IS ALSO TWRP WITH MAGISK AND OREO BOOT.IMG NOT PIE. DO NOT FLASH THIS IF YOU ARE ON PIE

[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
With V30 we flash encryption disabler in TWRP and well as root check disabler, then reformat data. That wouldn't work?
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] bacon612:
No, tried it. It's my understanding that it's a new security measure with SD845 and LG.
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Which encryption disabler are you using? We have a new one for V30 Pie.

Maybe works with V35 also?

See attached file, or download from link.

[MENTION=6037748]Zackptg5[/MENTION]

Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_08.18.2019 (encryption disabler)

.

[MENTION=4429707]bacon612[/MENTION],

Should work with all TWRP...

Try these steps:

* In TWRP, wipe data

* Wipe caches

* flash Magisk in TWRP to give the encryption disabler root privileges,

* flash this encryption disabler.

* Then, format data (where you say yes),

* reboot to TWRP from within TWRP (reboot to recovery),

* flash Magisk again,

* reboot to system.
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] MorningStarGG:
I'd try that but seeing as I literally just got my phone back to the way I want it after the bricking, I'm going to hold off for now. Besides, it's better for those with more experience to attempt things like this.
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] avaie:
I intended to take the risk. Using the twrp.img, this is the result. Furthermore, the bootloop is due to the twrp. I'm not sure why it cannot be installed and still but to the operating system.

There is write-protection. You cannot wipe anything. The format doesn't work. The disk is encrypted and nothing is saved.
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] vlad48:
[MENTION=6144157]avaie[/MENTION] if you are on Pie you can check the V40 TWRP here

Also bare in mind that if you plan using it with stock LG pie rom you need to find a way of tricking LG's CryptKeeper smali located in LGsettings.apk on checking format flags (it accepts partitions formatted only via LG stock recovery). Current workaround described here I think soon more easiest method will be available - check the thread here.
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] avaie:
Hi - I understand your hypothesis. How can you downgrade from Pie to Oreo without losing Recovery?

I have the Octoplus box. Is it also possible to backup an entire phone using Octoplus as twrp does?
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] vlad48:
There is no way as TWRP initrd is part of your boot.img, so if you want to downgrade from Pie keeping TWRP you need to re-flash Oreo compatible boot.img with TWRP in it.

Using Octoplus is easy because you can dump all partitions with it and restore them also afterwards.

Good luck!
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] avaie:
I got it to work. Two twrp versions used (one primary from the G7). One version installed into boot_a and the G7 version as a "live CD" (fastboot.boot). I had access to /system and could make modifications. Then I had to flash the stock-magisk boot_a for Oreo. I have Xposed and would deodex /system/frameworks/ later in preparation for microG. The Pie version of the twrp did not work for Oreo and would resort to a output function akin to a kernel-panic on OS-X. There is no twrp currently on the device but the task is done. I will try and figure how to make a backup using Octoplus.
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] elkay81:
How far would you all say we are from being able to flash lineage onto the the device safely
[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vibrato86:
you have to delete the. laf files/partition on lg phones to access fastboot typically. after boring a special "engineer bootloader" boot, you can issue command "fastboot erase laf" then fastboot will be accessable. easier said than done. just refer to the house on bootloader unlocking LG V35ThinQ.

I have a Mi A2 device and since i bought it im facing this issue.

Before i uninstall any app, i have a habit of doing following:

1. Force stop

2. Clear cache and storage

However, most of the times when i clear the cache and storage, it takes very very long to do it (like more than 1 minute)

Sometimes so long to a point that it gives up, crashes and restarts. Its mostly happens with app that a big storage like pubg or youtube. But it is still very slow for all apps.

I did not found any similar threads as well.

Any help?

Previously, I had an HTC Vivid phone, which came blocked with AT & T, I followed the steps of this post and it worked perfect

Currently, will there be another method to unlock these teams in the same way? I saw in several post that there are several models better than HTC Vivid that can be unlocked in a similar way. Anyway, I would like to know some recent post that has unlocked an HTC like this

If you upgrade from the S9 plus to the S10 plus please tell me why. Thanks in advance!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] garret1976:
I have both Exynos versions and still have some doubts.

S9+ is still a great phone and differences are minor. Everything is just little bit better.

You get a larger display. Less saturated but I like saturated.

Better loudspeaker and calls sound also better.

Better battery life

Extra wideangle camera which is useful I think.

Camera has been improved. More dynamic range. Less contrast ,sharpness more natural. Some people prefer extra sharpness and contrast.

Some downsides for me are

Front camera looks worse in less light situations

Wifi and 4G(LTE) signal is a bit worse. Getting lower speeds when signal strength is low

Battery with 4G is relatively worse than S9+

Don't think it's worth the extra money unless you get a good deal like I did. Bought S10 with €200 discount and free buds.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] the_scotsman:
Yes, absolutely.

I've gone from S7E > S8+ > S9+ > S10+.

The S8+ > S9+ was a bit of a disappintment. It was a very small upgrade. But the S9+ to the S10+ is a VERY NICE upgrade! Well worth it!

The display is improved. And the bezels are amost non-existant. It looks superb! The under screen fingerprint scanner is very cool! The camera is amazing! Especially the wide angle lens. The device is faster overall. It has a larger battery, so battery life is improved. Sound is improved. It's thinner than the S9+.

Basically it has improvements across the board.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] mastaofdacat:
On the Snapdragon version of phones the battery life is way better on the s10 + vs. s9 +. I also love the feel of the s10+ in my hands more. Screen is better !

I had the Exynos S9+ and switched to team Snapdragon for the S10+.

-Better battery

-Less curve on the screen (this is a pro for me)

-Faster

-The SD variant just destroys games (in a good way). PUBG max settings and zero stutter.

-the device is lighter

-the in display fingerprint scanner is really nice. Takes getting used to, though.

-Did I mention it was fast? It seriously made my S9+ look slow.

[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers] Ricky Blaze:
My Samsung galaxy a8 has no IMEI number and the aim card does not get detected at all and therefore no network as well although the sim card does work. There is no OEM unlock in developers option and therefore I have no idea how to proceed on fixing. The guides on how to use Odin are not clear as I am quite a noob at this and I'd rather ask for help before risking my secondary phone.

Assistance in any way would be helpful
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers] Youdoofus:
Odin can be intimidating, but its not bad at all. First thing when using Odin is to make sure your phone has a high percentage of battery charge. This is important because if the battery in your phone dies and the OS end up being corrupt, there is no way to charge it and its now a paperweight unless its taken apart and either you replace the battery, or have it charged by some other means. This is a very unlikely scenario, but if you arent keenly aware of that pitfall, you could easily fall into it. Anyways, charge your phone fully, put it into download mode, connect it to a computer, if using windows 10 the drivers should automagically install, if any other version of windows, there is a tutorial on how to system wide install ADB in 10 seonds (and yes, its literally a 10 second process and its slick as hell), put the img.tar file in the ap section of odin, uncheck auto-restart, then click start.

the img.tar file you need is available at sammobile.com/firmwares and will be almost 2 GB in size and will take FOREVER to download. So dont put your phone in DL mode and think you can download the file in a resonable amount of time, have the img.tar downloaded first. Doing this will trip an alarm called the "knox e-fuse" but will probably make the device work as is should.

I assume that youve also done a factory reset

also, the OEM unlock option will nto show up until you leave the phone on for 168 hours without rebooting it. so, turn it on, put it in airplane mode to save battery, put it in a drawer and lat it sit for exactly 7 days without rebooting it and making sure the battery doesnt die as that counts as a reboot and the oem unlock option will show up in the dev options. The oem unlock showed up for me almost immediately after i flashed the stock firmware in Odin, no 168 hour wait period required
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers] Ricky Blaze:
Thank you so much for this but if I may just ask to clarify what I need to do.

1 make sure battery is fully charged

2 download correct img.tar file

3 factory reset

5 flash img.tar in ap and uncheck auto restart

6 leave in a draw for 168 hours with no reboots

try leaving it on for 168 hours and the oem unlock option will show up. When it does, toggle it and you should be able to root it.
