[LG V35 Guides, News, & Discussion] Eric janaika:
So today I tried to flash Pie over my rooted 8.0. I used partition DL mode and first selected everything but ABL_A/B, userdata, and all my A partitions, hoping to preserve that slot just in case. When I tried to boot into my B slot with 9.0, it just went into fastboot. Alright, whatever, I can keep 8.0, no biggie. I fastboot --set-active=a but this time it got stuck decrypting on the open lock icon with the rotating ring after entering my PIN. Okay, fine, I'll flash again. Enter Firmware Update mode, use partition DL mode, select everything except ABL_A/B, flash. Now I'm stuck in fastboot. Android won't boot, and attempting to enter Firmware Update mode and get a red triangle with the message "your device has failed a routine safety check and will not boot". I then used fastboot to flash my previous 8.0 backed up laf.img over my laf_b partition. Now, when I attempt to enter Firmware Update mode, I get the normal blue progress bar briefly, but then it just goes back to fastboot.

Which is where I am now. Any ideas? I'm thinking maybe if I "complete" the upgrade and flash a stock 9.0 ABL partition it might work, but I don't have one of those, LG Firmware Extract only produces an .elf file, kdztools gives an error when trying to extract the .dz:

I'd prefer not to have to hire an Octoplus owner to fix it since I still have an unlocked bootloader and still have fastboot, but I'm out of ideas. Oh, yeah, I also did "fastboot erase userdata", and attempted to do "fastboot format userdata", but the format failed. I also tried "fastboot -w" but got

F:\backup\LGV35>fastboot -w

wiping userdata...

CreateProcess failed: The system cannot find the file specified. (2)

error: Cannot generate image for userdata

Update: I flashed my backup 8.0 xbl partition. That, along with my 8.0 laf, has let me back into firmware update mode. I then flashed Pie again in partition DL mode, deselecting my abl_b, xbl_b, and laf_b. Seems it automatically switched my active slot back to A. At least I hope so, and my engineering abl_b with fastboot is still there.

[Nokia 8.1 Questions & Answers] igorkaplan45:
Hi All.

Was searching everywhere last week and can not find the definite answer. I was thinking to buy the Nokia 8.1 TA-1119 model. However I am a developer and need root, so was trying to figure out if root procedure already exists for this phone.

There are some pages which give some root instructions, however they talk about installing the TWRP and as I checked, there is no TWRP for Nokia 8.1

So, would so much appreciate, if someone would give me some info, if root can be achieved on this phone?
[Nokia 8.1 Questions & Answers] singhnsk:
While something is definitely possible and I have a rooted Nokia 8.1. But for your root requirements, I'd recommend that you consider some other phone which is more development-friendly.

First of all, it is super hard (playing with IMEI numbers and will have to pay), then the unlocked bootloader still doesn't allow booting or flashing any partitions via fastboot. So, pretty boring and it is equally hard to fix a bricked phone. Avoid if the sole purpose is an unlocked bootloader and regular rooting/flashing.
[Nokia 8.1 Questions & Answers] light.apps:
Yes you are right. but some one should start on this. I am looking forward to learn and build ROM for this awesome phone. as android app developer, I think I will not take much time, but looking for some source to get undetstanding how things works.

I have notice that when I am watching videos on my phone (mostly YouTube, but also playing mp4) the phone automatically center the video when playing which is fine for 16:9 videos, because the punch hole is out of the way, but when you're watching 18:9 content, half of the punch hole show up, but if you turn on the hide punch hole option in settings, the whole video will shift to the side and the punch hole is gone, the problem with this is that the option is system-wide, which is annoying. Is there a way to enable this option for a specific app?

Recent purchased a samsung active which dosent have samsung pay installed. Looking into it, the watch should have Samsung Pay pre-installed. I have made sure that the watch is fully up-to-date (Tizen Version 4.0.0.3, Software Version R500XXu1BSD3). When I recived the watched I also noticed that the language was not enlgish (also not sure what it was).

Does anyone know how to solve this issue? The model of the watch is SM-R500 and the phone I have linked is a Samsung S10+

Is there a way to flash a diffrent software onto the active to get samsung pay working?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] sruel3216:
I had the same issue. You have to sdb command your watch from a computer while on the same wifi. You will be able to change the watches region (I changed to USA). Pay will then be preloaded on your watch. This resets the watch

Hello,

My issue is really weird. I was using No Limits rom with oos 4.5.1

Later, i've reverted back to stock rom and my actual version is Pie with OOS 9.0.7 . Also my recovery is stock at the moment.

The issue is, i can not enter to fastboot mode. İ am selecting that and pressing power button to start fb mode but my device reboots back to desktop without entering to mode. Device is up and running, no stuck at bootloop or etc.

Now i can not load any recovery, root etc. Tried all combinations to enter but doesnt work at all.

İs there any solution to solve this ?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] strongst:
Instead of trying to enter fastboot mode from android did you tried to enter bootloader by holding power + volume up while powering the device on.

Also if you have enabled USB debugging you should be able to enter fastboot mode by connecting to a pc and using platform tools: adb reboot bootloader
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Kaanb93:
Hello, tried that ways too, and it reboots to the desktop anyway. On pc, when i wrote that command, it reboots again.

İ guess something happened to the bootloader firmware if it exists..

If you get a bit of thick sticky tape and put it over the groves. Slice it down the middle of each grove and that should help keep it a bit tighter.

STOCK FM RADIO FLASHABLE ZIP

This is a twrp flashable zip which enables FM Radio on V20 variants that came without it. Oreo stock only.

Choose your variant from the download link, currently US996_usa, US996_bpt and VS995. Flash in TWRP and your done.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=299040

Note: If you intend to flash this on a variant I'm unaware of first backup the file /system/etc/permissions/privapp-permissions-lge-elsa.xml , as my zip replaces the original file which may have some permissions needed for other carrier apps to function. In fact that is the only reason why there are different versions of the zip.

Thanks to those who helped test the app.

=======================================

ORIGINAL POST

Hi

I have successfully ported stock Oreo LG FM Radio from a H910 rom to my device.

My device is a VS995 that has been cross-flashed with US996 (USA) KDZ that was rooted using the original dirty santa method.

As this may be of use to those without FM Radio, and because I'm curious myself, I would like to know if my flashable zip will work on V20 device variants that have FM disabled. That would be VS995, F800, US996 and possibly others.

I will provide a download link to my TWRP flashable zip to those who PM me stating their V20 variant e.g. VS995 and who understand to do a full TWRP backup before flashing. There is no uninstaller.

The zip adds files to /system only, nothing in boot partitions, so if it doesn't work or anything goes wrong just restore your backup. This is more than just an apk btw, it includes all the necessary library/framework files etc.

I'm not hugely optimistic it will work on anything other than US996 because that rom is carrier free and FM radio although not installed may not have been fully disabled on it. But it might work on other variants, I just don't know at this stage. Hoping someone can help me to find out!

Note: I am a novice developer thus will be ultra cautious. If anything goes wrong a backup is vital.

This if for TESTING only. Please do and retain the backup even if you decide to keep it should it be functioning properly! Further builds may require that you revert as as yet I haven't written an uninstaller.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] C D:
I might give this one a go. I recently acquired a US996 USA from another member who moved on to another device. There are very few apps installed so far, and it's on Alpha Omega Oreo. As the ROM is stock-based, that should be close enough to try, right?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ezzony:
UPDATE: I found a bug. Ordinarily FM does not work with Hi-Fi ON by design. It is toggled off automatically when FM app is opened. This is not happening and causes a crash if hifi is set to on. It does work fine when Hi-Fi is user selected to be OFF. I'm looking into it and I'll hold off on releasing it to those who have requested it for the time being.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ezzony:
It depends on how much AO has been modified. As long as you have backup no harm in testing it.

Edit: From what I recall AO Oreo Rom as very few enhancements unlike the nougat version of it. I'd recommend going back to stock and debloat etc. That is what I have done.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ezzony:
Ok so sorted out that bug (got lucky!).

Instructions

Backup to internal storage using a root browser the file /system/etc/permissions/privapp-permissions-lge-elsa.xml (I might need this to debug).

Do a full system backup

Flash the zip and reboot

Test toggling hifi mode on/off.

Test swapping from music apps to fm and back.

Test your other non music apps to see if they are working normally both with fm on and off.

Report back here your results!

Please do not distribute the dl link or the zip.

Thanks for testing!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] darkknight200:
ok i flashed on my v20 now.

Fm radio works in the fm app. Everytime I turn on it will automatically turn off hi-fi mode.

When i use lg music and another music app, hi-fi wil turn on automatically. Same when I switch back to fm radio and turn on immediatly, hifi will turn off automatically.

Everything works as it should switching back and forth. Thanks for bringing working fm radio to the us996 :good:
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] C D:
So far, so good also on my end, running the factory-unlocked US996 USA, Alpha Omega Oreo, and mk2000 2.2 Oreo kernel.

Hi-Fi mode turns off/on as expected when starting/stopping the FM radio, just like it does on my H918, also on Alpha Omega Oreo (my LS997 on Nougat somehow stays on Hi-Fi mode at all times). The "pass sound to speaker" button on the top right also works correctly for the radio.

If this also works for users of the other variants without FM radio, then we'll have ourselves a permanent fix. Nice job, OP :good:
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ezzony:
That's great guys.

US996 passed initial testing phase.

Hold on to the backups in case anything happens over the next few days. But it's looking good.

Yes that would great. Waiting for someone on VS995 and F800 to test. I expect issues but I might be able to fix them.

Everything works, if something comes up I will post it here.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ezzony:
STOCK Oreo only. LG system apps won't work on lineageos.

The FM radio app is not a app designed by me, it's just the stock LG app.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jtegg007:
Gotcha. my bad. This is a spare device, so I can clean flash it with no hard feelings. Would this work for your test? Or do you have another link you can direct me to?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ezzony:
I *think* there are problems going back to stock from Lineage using a zip. I read anyway. The sure way of doing it is flashing oreo kdz, which isn't quite as straightforward. Up to you which you want to try first.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Buzzy42:
On a VS995 (i.e., FM neutered model courtesy of Verizon) with final Alpha Omega ROM (based on stock Verizon 20c) and using mk2000 kernel.

All is working really well. Hifi mode turns off as soon as the radio is on, and it refuses to turn on when FM is already on. Can play FM through the speakers or headphones. (headphones must be plugged in)

Starting other music apps (Spotify, IHeartRadio, LG Music) all kills the FM radio cleanly; starting the FM radio causes the other apps to pause playing and FM to start. Did not experience any crashes or strange behavior. Notifications play properly over FM sound.

Doesn't seem to impact any other apps at all, I was just using the phone listening to FM radio for the first time in 2.5 years. ;) Very excited to see this development, I was disappointed when it came out that the Verizon model had FM turned off. I don't expect to use it much but it's nice to have, and especially nice to have things that were obviously turned off for no reason other than Verizon's greed!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ezzony:
VS995 passed initial testing phase.

I'd say give it a week and final phase 2 passed.

Ok so it turned out I needed to do a little adjustment for the Verizon model, nothing major, but thankfully seems to be working well.

What I need now is anyone on F800x or any other model (if there are any left does anyone know?) to send me the xml file I asked you to back up in POST 5.

Also if there is anyone on NOUGAT I might be able to do it for that version as well. Let me know if anyone is interested and I might look into it.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] baldybill:
Looking forward to testing to be completed and this to be released. Would welcome the use of the V20's FM radio. Thank you for your hard work.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] C D:
Haven't heard of further variants not having FM radio enabled, and I wasn't even aware that the Korean ones didn't have it. You may want to ask over in the Korean variants discussion thread for more testers.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ezzony:
Okay, so I just thought it didn't for some reason. Perhaps I'm wrong about that. I've googled it again and I just get conflicting info on it. There are different versions of the US996 though aren't there? One's with carrier bloatware will have to be modified.

What I think I'll do is just release it for the US996usa and VS995 for now.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] C D:
Yeah, all the phone specs sites are not reliable when it comes to devices with lots of regional variants regarding less obvious features such as all LTE bands and FM radio. This Reddit post seems to hint at the Korean models not having FM radio.

As for the other US996 versions, there are two from smaller, regional U.S. carriers that are sometimes referred to by devs as "US996 Dirty Santa": US996 UCL (U.S. Cellular) and US996 BPT (BrightPoint). I don't expect these models to have as much carrier bloat as the ones from the larger U.S. carriers (H910, H918, VS995, LS997). There are definitely some users of them out there on the V20 Subreddit based on what you see on the flairs next to their names.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ooftymcgoofty:
Thank you for taking the time to make this work for my us996 bpt variant. Not having a radio was a disappointment when I first rooted the phone. Terrific work, all seems well!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Phoenix591:
you read wrong, all you need to do is wipe data to go back and forth (but individual apps and their data can still be backed up and restored back and forth using titanium backup or similar as long as you don't swap system apps and settings). Have had no issues swapping back and forth over the years.

Well done on the zip btw, was looking for something like this ages ago, though am on lineage atm
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ezzony:
Well that's good. What I meant was that I read someone had a problem doing it but good to know it works fine for you. I had a problem myself restoring a stock backup that had Resurection Remix previously installed which is a slightly different senario. The restore wouldn't boot. I'd be sure to fully format before restore but perhaps I did something wrong. Not bothered about that now as I'm defiantly going to stay on stock and won't be experimenting with roms again on my device.

Tks! I had a stab at it a few weeks ago but I gave up on it and decided to flash h910 instead which has FM. Turned out the rom wasn't working well because of At&T bloatware and restricted network settings. I just wasn't happy with this so I though I'd flash back to US996 which has no issues whatsoever except for of course no FM. 2 days later working on it round the clock and voila!
