I'm surprised no one has given a proper thread for this, but then again, it may be because it's relatively simple to do.

Hit the LIKE (UP) button if this helped!

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

For starters: you do everything here on your on accord, and if anything happens to your phone, you accept the responsibility.

If your phone is not bootloader unlocked/rooted/etc, it should automatically receive updates when you check in your system settings.

NOTE: Doing this firmware update may break your root or cause rooted functions to misbehave. VERIFY THIS YOURSELF.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Steps (if your phone is boot loader unlocked):

1) Download the appropriate firmware from Asus' own website: https://www.asus.com/Phone/ROG-Phone/HelpDesk_BIOS/

- Determine if your phone is the WW (global) version, or the CN version.

- File is approximately 2 gb

- Put the file on your phone's ROOT folder (Internal memory, and not in any folder so the phone can detect it)

2) Once it is properly downloaded and placed, you should see the file there in .ZIP format. You can verify with using any file browsing app.

3) Make sure that your phone is charged fully and ready to update (backup your documents/pics/messages/etc.)

4) Restart your phone by holding the power button and select (RESTART)

5) Once your phone reboots, you should see a notification automatically pop up indicating that there is a firmware update available. Click on it and accept the update. Phone will now update and do the rest, do not shut down or do anything else with the phone besides perhaps leaving it charged.

- Takes about 10 minutes to update

- Once it reboots it will sort out your apps

6) FINISHED. :good: :D

Anyone heard anything for TWRP or CWM support?

(or any kind of factory images?)

No factory images yet and we need that to pull the boot.img and patch with magisk... should be released tomorrow with the "Official" release.

Have mine too and have prepped with all of my root apps....

Yeah, well, I'm apparently screwed. Bootloader unlock is greyed out.

And yes, it's a Google Store phone. I am NOT happy.

Nope, im on the jump on demand program. I told them I was leaving for work overseas and needed it asap like they have always done for me. Sweet talk them a little if you have to.

I just did the same thing and they said no problem your JOD, whitelisted my number / device and going to the app doesn't work!! Tried a ton of times. He's calling me back shortly to verify working or not. Hopefully they get this right bc otherwise I'm returning and buying Google. Gotta have root.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] superchilpil:
You're looking for a carrier unlock to unlock to bootloader or to just have the phone Sim unlocked?

Either way you're at the mercy of your carrier. Until the phone is paid in full they legally don't have to Sim unlock it, and if it's never fully paid it will be blacklisted on all major carriers
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Ippolito1971:
Well TMO has no idea why it won't work. Device is listed as applicable for unlock and they claim it's good to go. Going to website on my account shows device as locked and eligible for unlock but will not unlock via TMO app. Technical support escalating to engineering as expedited. Guess we will see what happens from here. I've w feeling I'm returning this to TMO in favor of Google p4xl and I'll wait for op7t pro McLaren 5g to arrive on tmo for my jod

I've talked to 2 people now. Neither has been able to do it. They did yours?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] meatyalien:
I'm in this same boat of the unlock app not working. Device is eligible, IMEI whitelisted multiple times, still fails every time. I now have a support case with the executive response team and have been going back and forth trying to find a solution. They've had me swap the phone with a new one and issued me a new temporary plan on a different SIM, neither of which made a difference. There is clearly a problem with their unlock app not working with this phone. No one at T-Mobile seems to know what's going on.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] meatyalien:
So my device was unlocked remotely without the T-Mobile unlock app.

This only happened once I filed a complaint with the FCC. Other people have stated that they had their device unlocked within a couple days after filing a complaint with the FCC.

I received an email this morning from the FCC that they contacted T-Mobile to unlock my device under federal law requiring carriers unlock eligible devices.

A few hours later I got a notification stating my device has been unlocked (no T-Mobile unlock app required).

It's a shame you have to involve the government so companies follow the law. I was previously told the device unlock app was the only way to unlock my phone, obviously not.

I'd recommend anyone who is struggling with the unlock app file a complaint with the FCC. If you are eligible to unlock the device under T-Mobile's policy, they are required by federal law to do so.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] razvanrudy:
I thought that it will be a good post to try and get a full list of apps working or not with Face Unlock for UK users( no offense and hope our friends from other countries will do the same so we can build a big and better picture about this ) . Because this is a new biometric system for Google and after Samsung S10 problems ( more user fault and not Samsung) with a lot of banks reportedly deactivating the fingerprint scanner for this devices , it will be a nice idea to have a full list in one place. Interested in any bank names , Paypal and any other password protected apps working or not.
[LG V50 ThinQ Questions & Answers] ineedandroid:
Hi,

Is there any way to flash a stock firmware on our V50?

I'm using the European version of the device and I'm having an issue (SafetyNet check fails, even if I have never rooted the device) so I wanted to try flashing another FW.

I tried searching around but I found nothing, except LGUP that I wasn't able to use because gave me an error of missing V50 DLL.

Thank you everyone!!!

[LG V50 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Inerent:
Hello. We do have a working dll, check in v50 forum. Also LG-UP 1.16.0.3,bit it can't crossflash due to iml protection.
[LG V50 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Dabomb_21:
Hi, I think firmwares from SKT is a bit buggy. 1st, I don't have weather animation even if I have (com.lge.effect). I started with V500N11m and got updated to V500N11q with October 01 security patch. I just noticed aside from still not having the weather animation on my lockscreen is it extended my charging time. Fast-charging is indicated, I always charge my phone turned off. Before turning it off, it shows it will get fully charged after 1hr and 22mins but it took 1hr.23mins from 40% to 87% At first this ain't happening and I always charge this way, this percentage but now, I just noticed that it's charging pretty slow compared before.

Can i switch from V500N11q to V500N11r?

[MENTION=8615083]Inerent[/MENTION] how soon do you think the lgup that supports cross flashing will be released? Also do you think an engineering bootloader will be leaked as it was for v35?
[LG V50 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Inerent:
Hello. It should be pretty soon as the 1.6.0.4 is already in the hands of some Chinese guy.... Bootloader also depends on them. But we should understand that they are leaking official tools from lg and lg is not happy. Maybe lg is already after them closing the partnership... It's a bad circle...

---------- Post added at 07:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 PM ----------

Tbh, my root dream has gone. I'm very satisfied with my Hi-fi setup, quad dac, headphones, sound bar, Tidal etc.

I just want the gestures back as I have paid for fluid navigation gestures pro since lg g7, but with V50 it was a bad experience. Other than that and the new ui, I'm not that into updates or root anymore. I've donated for root, but to be honest I think it would be achieved sometime in the 2020 summer,also by some misterious "coincidence, leak, engineering Bootloader" I'm more and more convinced behind this leaks is LG.

But, again, Just want the new ui, gestures and maybe crossflashing with eu firmware just to try it. I'm more and more convinced that korean is better.
[LG V50 ThinQ Questions & Answers] antintin:
More likely that it's just one of lgs partners that leaks the bootloader, but I guess it's possible. Carriers don't like bootloader unlocking, and LG is not in such a great position anyway, so they might try to quietly give access to bootloader unlocking. But then again, probably not

Any suggestions on cross flashing LMV500EM Australian to UK firmware.?

"tried" the UK firmware as it doesn't list OPEN"

"Tried partition dl but could not crossflash"

<Mod edit: THREAD CLOSED on request of OP>

Sorry... I didn't realize there was a power button plus up volume key combination. That rebooted my phone. There is no crisis. Moderator can delete this

I am little spooked. .I think I have tried everything but my phone seems dead.

First, I have a TMOUS OP7 Pro which I converted to international and was running 9.5.13.GM21AA. I have been using the phone without problems for several days.

The phone is rooted with Magisk and I had a few modules installed including Rira-Core and Rira-EdXposed (SandHook). However, I had not installed the Xposed Installer apk.

The last thing I did before I rebooted was install the Xposed Manager apk. I read that this app was a better option than the Xposed Installer apk. I did not think I was risking anything because I had installed this same app before. without problems (but if memory serves I had first installed the Xposed Installer apk, downloaded some xposed modules, then uninstalled the installer apk and installed the Xposed Manager apk). This time I just installed the Xposed Manager apk.

I previously messed something up about 4 days ago. I am not sure what I did at that time, when I tried rebooting it strangely hung at the "Unlocked Bootloader" screen. However, I was able to get to the booloader screen. Since I had a backup, I just did a flashboot boot twrp.img using the SDK tools and restored it. The difference though was that I was able to get to the bootloader screen. Now I cannot seem to get anything. Screen is just black. I simply rebooted it and it went black. No unlocked bootloader screen, just black.

I have tried holding the power button and down volume button simultaneously, but nothing happens.

As said, I am very spooked and worried. Does anyone have any suggestions.?

THank you in advance.

Hey there!

At first I'd like to intruduce myself as I'm around here not too long.

Well I'm a gagdet lover and got my self accidentaly a Touch-Clone, and the worst is that the OS (WM6) is in Chinese ...

First I was pissed off, but then I got trough the Wikis and managed to make a rom-dump of the device, so if anybody is interested, I'd be glad to share the dump with you ...

Actually I'm looking for some possibility to get rid of the chinese interface as I understand nothing and was wondering if it's possible just to exchange language-critical files with adequate english- or german ones?

And is it possible to flash the changed image back to the device with pdocwrite (Filesystem is MSFLASH) or am I confusing something?

Any suggestions or recomendations?

You will have to disclose your device's model so that ppl here can confirm if it is a ELF / ELFin Clone. After updating the USPL you should be able to flash any recent rom in any language.

Flash the USPL and you are good to go for any Elf ROM.

2.20 Elfin ROM is also compatible with your device. But you may want to try those Elf ROM first. You may try the touch surface rom or Shadow CE 2.1.

BTW, this is the same as other HTC ELF .. No different at all, except it uses Chinese Language ROM.

thanks for the identification, your help is very appreciated!

but just to be sure: the device goes into bootloader when pressing "volume up" and soft reset. Also the bootloader screen is white and shows "Enter bootloader updated from SD card?" written in green.

Isn't the bootloader usualy in three colors? Sorry for my doubts but I just want to make sure I don't brick the device ;o)
