[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] KOTULCN:
So I saw that Best buy is now selling an unlocked version of the Touch Dual and I was wondering if it is different then the versions that have been out. My main question is what bands does it operate on in the U.S. versus the european version of the phone!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] NetrunnerAT:
It exist 2 device they call Touch Dual. One device is for Europa "HTC Niki" the other for US Based Networks "HTC NEON". The different is the Radio and the Frequencys you can use!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] KOTULCN:
so is that why i cant ever get a 3G signal, i am always getting EDGE?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] nskgti23:
Yes... The US Touch Dual (ie Best Buy one) has HSDPA on the 850/1900 bands. The Euro Touch Dual has HSDPA on 2100 band (ie NO US 3G)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] maevro:
Also, the previous Touch Duals were GSM Tri Band and the US version is Quad Band.

Not just Best Buy sell them, I sell them too.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] martinctv:
hey Maevro- Will you guys be selling the US Dual fitted cases? The cases that sell now are only for the EU Dual/Nike. The camera on the back of the US Dual is set differently.

Thanks.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] NetrunnerAT:
can some on dump the spl from HTC NEON (best buy touch dual) its a higher version!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] aqua07:
Hi. I bought a Redmi Note 7 Global 32GB/3GB yesterday and I have problem with transferring files

When I connect my phone to my PC (win 10) via it's USB cable, a menu appears with 3 options on the phone:

*No data transfer

*File transfer

*Transfer photos (PTP)

No matter which one I choose, In all 3 situations a partition appears in "This PC" which is empty and there is no file or folder in it. When I commit to copy a file to it, this error shows up:

Cannot copy item

This device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected

I've no problem with my honor 3c (android 4.4) and other phones on my PC, Also they have MTP option which connects so fast and let me transfer all file and folders.

What should I do?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] aqua07:
It's kind of weird because now the phone is recognized and working well via USB 3 but USB 2 still has the above-mentioned problem.

I also have an old pc which I have linux lite, Chalet OS, and lubuntu on it. surprisingly file transfer works on linux lite and chalet OS via USB 1.1 - 2.0.

Can anyone use file transfer on windows via USB 2 port?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] Psicovirus:
Hey man, I just bought the same phone today, 32/3gb and global, when I tried to connect it the first time that happened and I got scared.

I researched a bit and did a few things, deleted the drivers and the device in windows 10 device manager, reinstalled them and factory resetted my phone, and now is working well. I think the factory reset did the trick.

I hope this helps you. Cheers.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] aqua07:
Hey. Thanks for sharing your solution. So you've experienced the same problem. Did you test USB 3 before uninstalling drivers and resetting your phone?

Are you able to see your phone's content and transfer via USB 2?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] Psicovirus:
Hello, sorry for the late response, I hope you found a solution early, but if not, I used both USB 2.0 and 3.0 (I think that's what you're referring to) and it did not work, after the reset and unistallation of drivers, both of them worked. I also have to say that I was using the cable issued in the box where the phone came, I'm still using it without trouble.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsimpson7:
Hi! My brand new tablet didn't wake up after i hit the power button or use case for sleep, then it just stays with a black screen. I tried a factory reset but no luck. And the only way to bring my tablet to live is long holding the power button. sadly sometimes it also takes many times to try. Can it be because firmware updates and i can fix it?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n3wt:
Maybe try taking it out of the case? If it still does the same thing without the case and you haven't rooted or anything like that then I'd think it was simply defective and since it's brand new you should be able to get it replaced.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsimpson7:
I wonder, might it be because of a problem after a new firmware? I used to use the only apple tablet, and this is new for me.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] semada:
If you're still having the problem try and return it to Amazon.

[General Questions and Answers] Hk Tushar:
I don't know what happened to the developers. Especially about the Redmi 7. This device has been released for 6-7 months but no official ROM has been seen so far. All that is getting unofficial or GSI ROM. Can't we get the official ROM?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Usually, the way it works is, only devices that developers actually own get custom ROMs. If there are no ROMs for your device it is probably because there are no developers that own a device like yours.

You'll probably get a custom ROM faster if you learn to build one yourself or if you buy another device like yours and donate it to a developer to build your ROM and pay the developer to build the ROM.

Other than that, you're on your own until a developer decides to buy a device like yours and build ROMs for it.(if a developer ever chooses a device like yours)

Orginal Title: Sprint LG V50 may get Android 10 beta by End of 2019 (V450PM)

I saw this article here: https://www.mylgphones.com/sprint-lg-v50-thinq-5g-android-10-update-will-release-soon.html?amp

Leaked Frimware details:

The article source won't release the beta frimware though. Anybody know where/how to get this or convince them to share it? However though, this is great news!

Edit: Special Thanks to chortya for purchasing the file. The link to download the file comes from the domain

dl01.gdms.lge.com

which is a legit source from LG directly. The file received is a .mo file, you just rename it to get a .up file. chortya has graciously shared the OTA file in the mega.nz link below!

Now lets figure out how to flash it!

Edit 2: Wow, that was fast! Thanks to aiap for figuring out how to flash this OTA.

I am not able to install it. Tried multiple options:

- LGUP FOTA upgrade - device protected error

- recovery mode - both SD card recovery and adb are not working. SD card mounting fails and it seems that my V50 is not connecting to PC if in recovery mode so adb does not see it. adb works fine with phone fully booted, so developer options are enabled and phone is authenticated with pc

- lgup_cmd does not even recognize *.up files

Any thoughts?

Does it make sense to move this to the kernel/firmware section?

[LG V50 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Inerent:
Yes. You must flash it with LG-UP 1.16.0.3.

Install lg USB drivers 4.4.2

Install lgup 1.16.0.3

Install lg common dll 1.40

Download and Copy the ui config file (from the LG-UP thread here on the forum) and paste it where the common dll is.

Then enable USB debugging in dev options

Then connect to pc

Then start lg up

Then chose FOTA upgrade

Then load your android 10 beta fota file. Make sure it has. Up extension

Then click start on lgup. Wait for the minute and it should start flashing.

Quick clarification, my phone needs to be in Download Mode, right?

Otherwise LGUP does not recognize it.

And why is USB debugging required?
[LG V50 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Inerent:
Nope. It needs to be on USB debugging enabled. This means Android booted. Lgup will put it in FOTA MODE after aprox. 1 minute. Do not disconnect. Do not put in download mode.

---------- Post added at 11:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 AM ----------

Also for flashing other firmware, it need to be with android booted. LG-UP will put it in download mode. The difference is that for FOTA you need USB debugging enabled.
[LG V50 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] chortya:
LGUP does not recognize my phone when it's not in Download Mode. USB debugging is enabled and the phone is visible in Device Manager as V50 and as ADB device.

Btw, LG Bridge also does not recognize the phone.

This is so frustrating...

---------- Post added at 03:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 PM ----------

OK, I have found the following:

Because ALL LG devices On Sprint Support FOTA Update only.

LG Bridge does not support phones from AT&T, AIO, Sprint, Boost Mobile, and Virgin Mobile.

Sprint hosts firmware on its server only. So we can not use LG Bridge to upgrade our phone.

So lessons learned, never buy Sprint devices.

---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 PM ----------

OK, I progressed a step forward.

Use this code to enable DIAG mode: ##3424#

Then switch phone to charge only for the USB connection and COM ports are now available.

LGUP recognizes the phone but I get the following error when I tried to do FOTA update:

Check your account has MTP write permission and the device is writable with MTP.
[LG V50 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Inerent:
Did you enabled USB debugging?

---------- Post added at 12:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 AM ----------

Also follow these steps exactly :

Install lg USB drivers 4.4.2

Install lgup 1.16.0.3

Install lg common dll 1.40

Download and Copy the ui config file (from the LG-UP thread on the xda forum) and paste it where the common dll is in program files, lg up, common folder.

Then enable USB debugging in dev options

Then connect to pc

Then start lg up

Then chose FOTA upgrade

Then load your android 10 beta fota file in lg up by drag and drop.

Then click start on lgup. Wait for ine minute and it should start flashing.

Wait about 10 minutes to install

I've tried many different methods that I found online for previous LG phones, but I can't get any to work. I just keep getting the MTP write error. Upon looking in the logs in the common folder, I see the problem is my V50 is not being recognized by my PC as a portable device (which makes sense since MTP is off - charging only), but I am not sure on how to remedy this since changing to MTP mode hides the V50 in LGUP.

SUCCESS!

I ended up not using LGUP, instead this is how I did it. (Make sure to backup, for some reason I had to factory reset because mine was stuck rebooting after "android is installing" notification completed.)

STEPS:

1. Download .up file: https://mega.nz/#!gjJi3KiK!ebsQdxmnXtEYRiG69F5oAlVqNnsZ3c9D7SpWahGI8OQ (thanks [MENTION=235264]chortya[/MENTION])

2. Rename file to LGUP_FOTA.up

3. Place file in base directory of internal storage on V50.

4. Download "Activity Launcher" from Play Store

5. Find FOTA Update

6. Hit the first option (com.lge.lgfota.permission.FotaTestActivity)

7. Follow prompts.

Well done! I tried similar approach but with recovery mode and it did not allowed mounting sdcard. It seems that hidden actions are important with Sprint :)
[LG V50 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Inerent:
You're the best!

3. Place the file on main storage, outside of any folder.
[LG V50 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] aiap:
It's actually surprisingly stable, expect for the fact that for some reason I am unable to uninstall apps without the system soft rebooting. It will uninstall them, but right after it'll reboot. I had to factory reset the phone after I installed 10 since it was going through a reboot on the finalizing of installation, so I ended up having to disable all the bloatware that LG and Sprint pump on their phones until I can figure out what is going on and how to re uninstall them without rebooting. Other than that it's pretty responsive and some of the new features and designs are nice. I switched over to the new navigation gestures from FNG, and it's a bit odd, but I'll get used to it.
[LG V50 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] aiap:
From my understanding, you would need a pie KDZ file to downgrade back through LGUP. I don't know if there is an Sprint KDZ file or not since I haven't looked, but I am not totally sure. I also don't know much in general about LGUP and LG firmware, just what I was able to research and put together since I got this phone. If anyone wants to verify this it would be helpful.

Does anyone know of a quick way to restore original rom? I believe when I debloat my sprint v50 I may have deleted FOTA Update. Can't find FOTA Update / (com.lge.lgfota.permission.FotaTestActivity).
[LG V50 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] juninhoak:
Factory reset
[LG V50 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] hooutoo:
Are you sure that restores the rom or just wipes data and resets device settings?
[LG V50 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] aiap:
Use ADB to reinstall. The app can't actually be deleted it's just deleted for user 0 so you can add it back by typing:

adb shell cmd package install-existing <name of package>

Factory reset will reset all data on current ROM but it will bring back the bloat. This is at least what I understand, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

will bring back all the bloat, u will instal android Q?

[LG V50 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] juninhoak:
My concern is this: What if this leaked rom does not receive OTA? how to proceed?
[LG V50 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] hooutoo:
It would be really hard to believe that final Android 10 version will not be available after the beta was leaked? And when it is as I surely expect it to be then I will install it via FOTA Update method describe here. I didn't lose any data or settings not to mention I had already debloated my Pie rom and surely don't want that crap back.

But that's the risk I'm willing to take. BTW, dark mode is the tits.

Another thing... What if you won't receive the final Android 10? Doesn't this mean you're stuck like forever on this beta like in a twilight zone? At least, can you access lg bridge? If yes, then you can downgrade with it by choosing recovery error mode. :good:

Can you access lg bridge????

Still have MTP write error in LGUP when I try to flash OTA in charge mode.

LG Bridge only recognizes device in charge mode, but it says it needs MTP mode.

When I switch on MTP mode, the V50 disappears in both LGUP and LG Bridge. I have developer mode and ADB enabled for reference.
[LG V50 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Inerent:
Yes, but LG will make them available to download in a way or another. And he simply pushes the other update with the same method.

Also lg bridge could revert back to first firmware. I did it 3 times.
[LG V50 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] aiap:
Yeah, Sprint is who pushes the FOTAs from LG, but I highly doubt the fact that the beta will be stuck, since the FOTA software is still in place contacting LG's servers and will upgrade when there is a package that is a newer version.

But yeah, make sure you understand the risks of running any beta before you install anything. If someone can figure out how to get LG Bridge to recognize the phone in MTP mode, then we will be able to downgrade to original ROM.
