Mine isn't dead, far from it. i have one piece of software that won't run on WM5. Well the latest version will but the version i paid for won't and as it does all i need it to in its current version i see no need to upgrade either the software or the XDA.

Yes i do have a WM5, soon to be WM6, Trinity, but the Alpine just keeps on going. :)
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] David389:
Does this mean you have WM5 on your Alpine??

I have an Alpine which I use as a work PDA
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] deedee:
No as i said the version of the software i have paid for is NOT compatible with WM5, so the Alpine survives on WM2003.

Thanks, I keep living in hope that one day someone will resurect my Alpine:(

New LM-G820UM (AT&T) purchased from ebay. Using on T-Mobile and have update question

Hi all,

Grabbed a G8 Thinq for my son off ebay (which scared me but it was cheap). It's an AT&T variant but it's working just fine with T-Mobile. However, the security updates are from July and I'd like to update. I tried LG Bridge and get a "cannot check software version" error. Before I send this thing back I wanted to check here. I understand that OTA updates are super slow to arrived when you unlock and switch carriers but will I ever get one? Is there another way to update this thing?

I'm pretty Android savvy but just haven't messed around on here since my Nexus 6P days. Thanks!
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] antintin:
There should be newer firmware kdzs that you can download and manually flash using lgup for Att variant just look it up.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] sahively:
Thanks, I'll do some reading on that. Appreciate the look.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] sahively:
Are AT&T KDZs even available? I can't find them anywhere that doesn't look like a complete scam site.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
AT&T is known not to release KDZs ever, and to only provide updates to postpaid AT&T customers. I assume that's true with G8 as well. I saw those unlocked AT&T G8 on eBay for $320, but I wouldn't expect any updates, nor would I expect warranty to be honored.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] sahively:
Welp, this baby's going back. Just ordered up a T-Mobile version for only $20 more so "hopefully" it will actually update. Thanks for the guidance.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] acekid109:
Sprint unlocked variant updates just fine on any carrier
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
T-Mobile is pretty good with updates. I have T-Mobile V30 on Red Pocket GSMA (AT&T MVNO) and receive updates.

But T-Mobile phones are very hard to carrier unlock. They can only be unlocked with a T-Mobile Device Unlock app, which queries T-Mobile servers for approval. If the phone is relocked (such as after LG repair, or if you get a warranty replacement) you won't be able to unlock it again unless you're a T-Mobile customer and/or have had the phone on their service for some time (40 days postpaid, 1 year prepaid). It can't be unlocked with a code like other phones.

Like AT&T, Sprint also doesn't release KDZs, but as noted they are less restrictive about OTA updates. T-Mobile and Verizon release KDZs.

Carrier phones generally suck for the same reason that carriers generally suck: Everything they do is always designed to suck you ;)

https://xdaforums.com/lg-g8/how-to/lg-g8-ota-update-released-t3958979/post81261151#post81261151

I faced the precise same situation, I was able to get the updates by moving my # to ATT prepaid.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
The T-Mobile V30 has official bootloader unlock, as the only North American carrier model. I believe the same was true with V20: Just Enable OEM Unlock in Developer Settings, boot into fastboot mode (Vol- while inserting cable with phone off) and enter fastboot oem unlock. The problem is the bootloader is neutered, with fastboot flash and fastboot boot commands stripped out. So even after BL unlock fastboot cannot be be used to flash or boot TWRP. But it still relaxes the secure boot chain. So once [MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION] found a way to flash TWRP using Download Mode (laf) we were golden.

Of course that laf vulnerability is long since fixed. And I am sure somebody must have already checked if the T-Mobile G8 has official bootloader unlock like earlier LG phones. Right? Or are we just assuming it doesn't because other carrier models don't? I only began following the G8 threads recently, so I wouldn't know.

[General Questions and Answers] neuromance:
After successfully flashing havoc os onto my s8+, I noticed that my verizon sim card had no service. I tried multiple solutions from different people on xda, but none of it worked so I wanted to see if the sim card would work with the stock ROM. I went on multiple websites in order to download the firmware to flash through ODIN, but I am not sure which one to download because they are categorized by countries. I live in the US currently (The sim card is also US-based), but the phone is from Korea (it was one of my relative's phone there) so I am not sure which firmware to download.

I would appreciate if you guys would help me on either the sim card problem or just the stock firmware issue.

Thanks.

Edit: The problem is solved. After putting my phone into recovery mode, I found the actual product name was SM-G955N, not SM-G955F.

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] sammanesh1:
I found a fix, remove SIM card, wait 10 seconds, power off phone, put SIM cards back inside and boot the phone
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] tsongming:
This issue has happened on many phones over the past 5 years, and it can definitely be resolved, it has nothing to do with unlocking anything, it's a encryption problem.

It is possible that when Mi-Cloud attempts to register your sim card, that some sort of security packet is downloaded to the phone for your protection. Ensure that you can sign into your mi_cloud account and locate your device, if using Miui. Also, be sure that you have international texts enabled, they text just once or twice so it doesn't cost more than a few cents.

With all of that being said a persist issue isn't the same thing as a sim card issue, and if you phone will not boot you are well past taking out your sim card. The easiest and fastest solution is to restore your persist partition from a TWRP backup, if you have one.

If that is not an option follow my instructions here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79824537&postcount=2
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] tmcsword:
Dear look, my fastboot is locked, for install twrp ( do you have some instruction for instal TWRP ? ) I think the bootloader need be unlocked, sure?

Thanks for try help me.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] tsongming:
If you are meaning that your bootloader is locked then the only option ( if your phone is linked to your MiCloud account) Is to return to a stock rom using Miflash or by downloading a fast boot images rom and using the flash all.bat method. The link that I provided earlier has a fast boot images rom linked.

Clarify whether or not you can access fastboot. If you can in fact access fast boot, and you previously used custom ROMs the instructions for installing TWRP are on the official TWRP website. You simply use ADB to push it yo the recovery partition.

hey whats up man,I hope u still answers questions I really hope you do because I'm in a dire situation where is my xiaomi mi8 cant connect to my sim card .It all started this year after a use of this phone since 2019 january.After my trip overseas , I got my own national sim card in again after that it occurs the problem at first was not that consistent,sometimes it detects, sometimes its good,after a while I thought that the sim card is loose so I wedged the simcard with a bit of paper,about sometime it works and then it starts to overheat when it doesn't detect the sim card inside and starts to reboot on its own, if I remove my simcard,its all good I can use wifi without overheating,how can I actually solve this problem? i quite believe that mi account /micloud that is causing all of this? whats your opinion on this? Im not an expert at all.Thanks for your time of reading this
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] tsongming:
That sounds a lot like a hardware issue, more so than anything else. For it only to get hot when the sim card is inserted make me think that there is some damage somewhere within the phone and that sim card being inserted causes the phone to short, if it continues you may permanently damage the phones battery or motherboard.

Has the phone ever been dropped?

If the phone suffered a harddrop, it is possible that there is damage. For example, Let's assume that a solder connection was cracked/micro fractured and the extra of power needed to connect the sim card causes the phone to heat up and shutdown. ( it could happen)

It is also possible that your phone, has a manufacturing defect and there is a cold solder joint, causing the exact same issue, and the solder being cracked.

Have you tried another sim card, maybe someone else's?

Yes, the phone connecting to a signal will cause more powerdrain, as there is thermals made to shutdown the phone when it gets too hot. However, if using a stock rom and a stock kernel, the sim card alone should not cause this issue.

Perhaps you are not using stock and you are instead using a kernel or thermal that is not well made.?

Have you tried restoring the phone with a stock fastboot rom? It has to be a fastboot Rom and not a Recoevery based rom.

I am going to bed, so we can talk more tomorrow.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] ineedfix:
Oh my god!!! i cant believe you replied, when u replied I was so happy that I finally got someones answer after all this time going around youtube asking people,thank you ,I just want to say thank you!!!

Has the phone ever been dropped?Yes couple times with case on but that's no excuse I do drop it.The weird thing is that after I went a trip overseas I switched back to my usual sim card and it started,when the system is confused of detecting or not detecting the sim card that's when it overheats and if I don't pull out the simcard it will self reboot in like 3-4 mins?

Have you tried another sim card, maybe someone else's?Yes i have,it doesnt work on my phone

Perhaps you are not using stock and you are instead using a kernel or thermal that is not well made.?

I am using the rom that I got from buying my phone I will specify its version MIUI Global 11.0.3 | Stable 11.0.3.0 (QEAMIXM)

I am sorry that I don't understand "kernel or thermal that is not well made" this at all but I am willing to learn about this if it helps fixing my phone

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] ineedfix:
Hey any updates?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] tsongming:
Sorry for the late reply, I didn't receive a notification.

If you are using stock 11.0.3 who installed it? The Mi8 doesn't come with 11.03, so someone had to update it. Did you unlock the bootloader?

If the phone is bound to your personal MiCloud account, you should attempt the suggestions that I wrote on my Persist thread.

It sounds to me like you possibly bought the phone second hand?

I say that because Persist issues don't usually happen when only using the stock builds. If you bought the phone recently, I would contact the vender and ask for an exchange or refund.

Persist issues can be fixed, for some but not all people. it requires a lot of trial and error.

The people who are not able to resolve the Persist problem following the steps I listed in the Persist thread very likely have hardware issues.

If you have no recourse with the vendor, go to that thread for the steps that you need to take to repair your phone.

It is a very poosible that simply restoring the phone using a fastboot ROM will resolve your issues completely. Be patient and read everything.

Good luck.
