Does anyone know if it will still work after a factory reset done from recovery?

Edit: I can't seem to run the !SABS command as it is not recognized by Powershell after running the python script. Also, the python script didn't seem to do anything.

[LG V50 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] antintin:
Did you apply an update while you were in Android 10? Did you do the rest of the commands too so it automatically restarts after u unplug?
[LG V50 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Deathmeter:
I do the commands you posted, I put # then I copy and paste what you wrote so Im not misstyping. However when I unplug it doesn't reboot. I have to manually do it myself

well, I got it to work, unfortunately it put me into secure startup and wants a password but I never had one set. I only had a pattern and fingerprint

Edit: I looked it up, had to enter my pattern liek they were numbers 1-9, really weird

After speaking with folks in the Telegram group:

CREATE A BACKUP AND MOVE TO PC FIRST!!!

Afterwards, make sure you have PYTHON 3 installed, as well as LGUP and all the drivers.

Then you can run the powershell commands and they actually work!

Once reverted you will boot to a secure boot screen... just enter wrong password enough times to cause phone to wipe... after wiping and rebooting, plug phone in to PC and move backup back onto phone.

Use the "Restore" option in Settings to restore your data.

Profit.

I've spent a lot of time trying to get this to work and Google about Python as I've never used it. Here's as far as I got. I appreciate any and all help that anyone can provide:

First, I received an error that about python:

PS C:\Users\Josh\Desktop\lglaf-master> python lglaf.py

python : The term 'python' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.

Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

+ ~~~~~~

+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (python:String) [], CommandNotFoundException

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

Since I can't figure out how to set up python globally, I remembered the old adb days and added all of my contents to the python folder...and I get the following:

PS C:\Python30> python lglaf.py

python : The term 'python' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.

Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

Suggestion [3,General]: The command python was not found, but does exist in the current location. Windows PowerShell does not load commands from the current location by default. If you trust this command, instead type: ".\python". See "get-help about_Command_Precedence" for more details.

PS C:\Python30> .\python lglaf.py

Traceback (most recent call last):

Any help you can provide is appreciated. I'm sure I'm missing something simple.
[LG V50 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] antintin:
Was your phone in download mode and plugged in while you ran the last one? If yes, then uninstall and reinstall python and look up how to add it to path variables. To find the python path, you can type where python into a normal command prompt, but when you add it to path variables, make sure you leave out the /python.exe part at the end
[LG V50 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] joshw0000:
Yes, the phone was connected in Download mode and I confirmed that it was recognized in Device Manager. I reinstalled and repaired Python about 5 times last night. At one point I even attempted to learn Python and execute the commands in the Python command prompt that the program installed.

I also spent a good deal of time trying to figure out how to add Python to the path variable. One post I found said to reinstall it (which I did) and another gave a command prompt command which seemed to point to an older version or Python but I adapted and ran it for the newer version that I'm running and the command completed without an error.

No matter what I did, each time if I typed in "Python" or the command in the OP, I would get an error. It only seemingly accepted it when I issued ".\python lglaf.py" but I think that's because I was CD'ed into the folder with the Python .exe file.

[LG V50 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] antintin:
Extracting the update file from the point you're at is not too difficult, but nevertheless people who are already in 10 beta would have to go back to pie to be able to use it. There's 0 ways to update while in beta 0

Is it normal for this to just hang at the boot screen (just LG V50 ThinQ) for 10+ minutes? I've switched to 0, it will hang. Tried rebooting, same thing. Switching to 1, I get Android 10. Obviously I want 9 though.
[LG V50 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Guavaman:
Same thing happening to me. Did you ever figure this out?

Edit: I solved it. After switching to 0, if it gets stuck on boot, hold Volume Down + Power until the system reboots. After it reboots, keep holding it until it enters Recovery Mode. Once in Recovery Mode, select (using volume up/down) the option to revert to factory defaults (this will wipe your phone). After it finishes, reboot to bootloader. On mine, the Sprint logo was replaced with the LG logo and it took a couple of minutes before it launched the standard Android setup.

Doing this process reverted my Android 10 to June security update from August security update. Doesn't do me any good though since I need January.
[LG V50 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] CHUNKYBOWSER:
No matter what I do, I can't get LAF to change the slot on my Sprint LG V50.

Is it because it's a brand new phone? I just got the phone and it came with the June Security patch. Is it possible that it would have the January in the other slot?

If so, I can't get LG LAF to accept any commands like GABS or SABS. Nothing happens. I can get it to reboot with !CTRL RSET, however.
[LG V50 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] en11gma:
I can switch slots in my Sprint V50 running "V450P20f" to "V450P20e".

so the slot switch is ok but can i root doing this?

is there a way to downgrade the firmware so i can root?
[LG V50 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] CrackerJibbs:
Anyone interested in making a few bucks doing this for me (assuming it's possible to do so remotely)? I bricked my LG V35 last time I messed around with this stuff and I'm feeling a bit gun-shy.
[LG V50 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] altpersona:
I think this bricked my phone... is stuck on Sprint 5G boot logo....

exploring ways to get it to do something else...

didnt brick it<

Vol Down and Power saved the day.

It did Not like booting after !SABS 0
[LG V50 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] john_dikeman:
Hello everyone.

I just ordered an LG v50 and it was already working on Android 10. Should I be able to load Android 9 from these directions? Or is this only for people that went from 9 to 10 and want to revert back?

I followed the instructions (I think... I don't know what I'm doing) but it didn't work.
[LG V50 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Bronnel:
This works but it only goes back to the exact previous version, I was on June 2021 patch , it went back to April 2021, that is it, it won't go back further, so no pie at all.

The rom works well but there is no sound.

What setting can I activate to fix this?

Thanks
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] klasie:
Sound only works with headphones, yet.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] klasie:
Hi [MENTION=7480554]carlos974[/MENTION]! How did you manage it? On my A300FU there is still no Sound without headphones. Thumbnails is the same as yours.

Sorry, that was a temporal error! This request ist irrelevant!
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] klasie:
The function of the speaker icon on the phone is meant to be to let other people participate in the conversation or to work while speaking (for example ). But if i tap on it, i cannot here anything anymore. The sound is not redirected to the speaker. Consequently I can only hear the conversation partner, if do not tap and keep the phone on my ear.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] DualJoe:
The driver for the speaker/amplifier is missing so it's not working at all atm. I will fix it asap.

But good to know that the phone function is otherwise working properly. Thanks for reporting.

OEM unlock required?

Hello! I'm just about to flash my Dad's A3FU with Lineageos 16 (which I use on my own phone), but something is unclear to me: there is no OEM unlock option in the dev menu. Does it means that I should not worry about it and I can simply flash anything I want (with heimdall, manually compiled because Debian's precompiled version seems to have a bug that prevents it from connecting to the phone)?

Thanks a lot!

Mathias

PS: by the way, any news on the sound routing issue for the speaker phone?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] klasie:
My A3FU hasn't got a OEM-unlock option, too (maybe it is like this in general). Never mind, just confirm "USB-Debugging". That's enough! (At least it was with me like that).

Make sure you've downloaded the OS from the link above!
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] DualJoe:
I had no OEM unlock option either and just flashed LOS without problems. That's the only thing i can tell about this.

Regarding the sound problem: The Samsung sound driver implementation is horribly outdated and doesn't work properly anymore (just affects the external speaker on the backside). The userspace part is closed source and there seems to be some kind of race condition or timing problem. What people have done on other devices with same hardware is they patched the 'mute' function (or something similar) in the closed source HAL blobs so the speaker is always on. That leads to several side effects like the speaker is always-on as well when calling and similar. It's a dirty hack and unfortunately the only thing we have currently. I do not really like that. Instead i'm going to overhaul the kernel driver. I have the new codec driver running already. The next part is to glue it all together and bring it to userspace.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] drnightshadow:
A3FU doesn't have locked bootloader at all.. so no OEM unlock option needed :laugh:

Jesus, even OP doesn't know that... wasted..

Good luck :laugh:

P.S.: but it will trigger knox count (aka warranty from 2015 ;) ) - useless these days :D
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] bavay:
Great!

So, for me too the rom works great so far. But I have one more question: I've seen that SE-Linux is not enabled. Is it because this is a development rom and you need more permissions debug information, is it because of some other issues or is it related to a LineageOs misconfiguration (such as this issue)? Or in short, can I just revert the kernel boot parameter to get it to "enforced" and it would work?

Thanks a lot,

Mathias
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] klasie:
You cannot enforce SELinux because your kernel is build with permissive policy.

It's not working. Needs help.

Hi. I've used TWRP 3.X and LineageOS 16.X before in my SGA300FULTE before. But other roms or recoveries didn't work. Only 2 TWRP 3.X and the LineageOS 16.X by [MENTION=7315425]vl_w[/MENTION] strangely seemed to work so I used them as daily driver. But these 2 became old and I needed new latest updated Roms and Recoveries. So I searched for new ones but found none. I'm glad when I found your this post a few days ago. Your TWRP 3.3.X is working somehow but the LineageOS 16.X isn't working. When I flash it from the Recovery and I reboot my device [ To remind you I always do full clean flash with wipe dalvik, cache, data, system and sometimes even internal storage ] it flashes and reboots and shows the Samsung stock Boot Logo/Splash Screen and the LineageOS also boots till the LineageOS boot animation. And it bootloops [ Either it keeps booting and showing boot animation forever or the screen gets dimmed with the boot animation completely freezed with the boot animation stopped ].

I was waiting for this latest TWRP 3.X and LineageOS 16.X. But It's very bad and sad thing that they're not working in my device . :( :crying: I thought I'd use them like before as daily driver. But I'm disappointed now because of this. I wish it'd work. And I wish this device SGA300FULTE had more developers working with more things and also make it Project Treble supported. I'm also trying to experiment with this to make it Project Treble supported. I'm eagerly waiting for your reply. I hope you can assist me with this. Thanks. :) :o
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] Beatz106:
Alright, let's go in parts:

1) It is very likely that this build is as old as those published by [MENTION=7315425]vl_w[/MENTION], it would not be much of being surprised the problems that this ROM brings.

2) No one, not even the one who published this ROM, has done any further research on GitHub (where development is done for the MSM8916) on what happened to development for Android 9.

3) There are already Pie builds made for some phones like Grand Prime (as expected [additional note] the weak or no development for fortuna3g or serranove) with changelogs in late 2018 or mid 2019, I don't remember exactly, Still, it was not wrong to consult at least here with some of the developers for such phones on topics related to driver compatibility mainly, as long as libraries and other components are tested in order to see if work something or not.

4) At least with a33g it is impossible to have a generic image because there is no way to create a partition from which it is required to make it work. An average developer for this model simply won't want to work on it since, equally whether or not there's a chance to have a dedicated partition, Creating such a ROM is said to be very difficult.

5) It is highly unlikely that we will have a sufficiently new Android Pie ROM available, much less for the A300FU (which in theory among all models is the one that receives the most support), the most probable but not totally certain reason (due to some mistake) is that the published changes on LineageOS are not available on the final ROM, i.e The battery icon setting.

6) There is no one capable or willing to try again the construction of a ROM (for each version of the A3, of course) with the latest updates from each repository for, In addition to discarding the theory of the old versions, to advance a little more in the mediocre development that there is, even being reporting every moment to GitHub.

7) It is believed (as I did) that a much easier way is to port a ROM ... with Brotli it is an impossible mission, with that I summarize everything.

Can we expect an update that fixes sound issue? It's basically the only thing that makes this ROM unusable, it would be great if you could manage to get around it. ;)
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] DualJoe:
At the moment there's nothing i can do. There are too many open questions regarding the manual kernel driver implementation and the alternative method (how ppl did it in the past) with proprietary blobs and newer CAF drivers is unreliable on LOS16. It works properly on one boot and on the next it's gone.
