MY FRIEND! I HAVE GOOD NEWS! It booted into an OS! It seems to be working. I have no promises yet, but so far, so good!
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] whitedavidp:
So do you still have unlocked bootloader?

Even if you do, you might want to start over again. You should be in slot A after using LGUP to flash a full .kdz. That is the best place to be and start from.

Keep LGUP around and on hand.

Once I had unlocked bootloader and TWRP installed following this <https://xdaforums.com/lg-v40/development/twrp-lg-v40-judypn-t3970111>, here is how I had to go about defeating google data encryption so that TWRP could get at and backup /data <https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=82206107&postcount=115>.

I will say that even once I had all this (unlocked bootloader, TWRP, defeated encryption) I had my phone end up like yours with an inability to power off and showing the charge level ring only. See here <https://xdaforums.com/lg-v40/help/hell-boot-loop-completely-power-off-t4079389>. I am still not quite sure what it was that caused this all to happen - even at that late point in the process. But I did learn that TWRP backups and restore of /data do work and can save a lot of time and grief. So backup early and often.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheHellian:
So, I was able to boot the phone and get into an OS, but now a few other problems have appeared. I Did some more tinkering and I'm no longer able to access fastboot again, as well as unable to access recovery mode. Recovery mode button combo doesn't work and I had to use adb reboot recovery to get to there, but it instead displays an error: "No Command" with a downed Android Man. My next steps are now to get TWRP on the phone, but I am a little unsure of how to do this at this point. Also, the boot loader is still unlocked, and I am in Slot A
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] whitedavidp:
One step forward, two back, I guess.

I have seen exactly the no command and dead robot. So how are you trying to get into the bootloader? I have always read it was hold vol down and insert USB. But I found that after all of this that no longer worked. I now have to hold vol up and insert USB. My phone quickly flashes "download" but it ends up in bootloader.

Let me know what this does.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheHellian:
So, as far as pressing up and and putting in a usb, Takes me to download. Holding down and Plugging it in does absolutely nothing for me at the moment. I'm mostly trying to access it by using the adb reboot bootloader command but no dice on that. I've even tried going back into Engineering mode and re-adding the v35 img to abl_a and that Doesn't bring it up either. I might flash one more kdz and see how it goes
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] whitedavidp:
From the sound of things, TWRP got lost in the flash of the .kdz. I think you need to get into engineering mode, re-install the V35 bootloader, unlock again (yes I know it seems silly), and put the Pie bootloader back. Then follow the TWRP thread's instructions <https://xdaforums.com/lg-v40/development/twrp-lg-v40-judypn-t3970111>. Re-install TWRP from the .img file on your hard disk, make sure to do the install ramdisk, etc.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheHellian:
The thing is, I never installed TWRP to begin with. I never messed with the bootloader which is the strangest part. I'm currently waiting on a microSD card to come on its way so I can try and install TWRP. I Havesnt really been able to find where the file is with just normal commands, so an SD card has it on an absolute path
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] whitedavidp:
Interesting.. Again, I am not an expert by any means. But I know that before I did all this I was able to get both fastboot AND download modes on the same slot. Now, after this, I have download mode only when on slot B and fastboot only when on slot A. So something in the process - no idea what - changed that.

Does your device have the OEM unlock enable switch in developer settings? After you re-flashed the .kdz did you go back into developer settings, enable USB debugging, and check what your OEM unlock enable switch looks like? When I did this originally, my OEM unlock enable switch showed in blue and on but kind of greyed out. Now it is all grey. So not sure what that means or why.

I never tried to just unlock and NOT install TWRP. That was my main goal in doing the bootloader unlock.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheHellian:
So I always wanted to install twrp but the main goal to begin was to unlock the bootloader. I Have re-enabled oem Unlock and USB Debugging. OEM Unlock Switch is mostly greyed out but I can tell it's there and what it is if I Look at it carefully. All day today I've been just trying to push twrp in many ways.

My first way was I was going to try and push it from the internal storage but kept getting an error essentially saying "error: cannot load '/sdcard/TWRP-judypn-boot.img': No such file or directory" and then tried it from the SD card and continued to get the error (I will say though I was in V35 bootloader the whole time, but I'm unable to use the bootloader on the main img)

So I am a little Stumped now. I tried just running the command "Fastboot boot TWRP-judypn-boot.img" and then "Fastboot flash recovery TWRP-judypn-boot.img" but just keep getting unknown error or too many links. I Am still able to use download mode but I just thing fastboot is normally disable on my phone. I wasn't able to get to it normally before all this. Sprint v405ua20a

Is it maybe Possible to just Flash twrp to the phone using QFIL and the partition manager?
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] whitedavidp:
So it seems that your device may be one of those mentioned in the original post when the author says:

5. (Optional, but not required) To gain fastboot access for devices that have no fastboot access, you'll need to nuke your laf partitions. LAF is LG Advanced Flash or Download Mode. On LG Devices, nuking this will allow you to access fastboot on devices that normally cannot do so.

To Nuke your LAF partitions (One or both, it's up to you. Only V35 eng bootloader can touch this. You can wipe from 9008 also.):

Code:

fastboot erase laf_a

Code:

fastboot erase laf_b

5a. To access fastboot, you'd access it the same way you access Dowload Mode. USB + Volume up then reboot.

Perhaps this will help? I know that once I did this, I have to be careful not to loose it when/if I flask a .kdz using LGUP. Now I need to flash using "partition download" instead of "refurbish" in LGUP and I have to make sure that boot_a, boot_b, and laf_a are NOT selected in the list of partitions to be flashed.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheHellian:
Okay, I might have to do that then.. I've now nuked my laf and ran fastboot boot TWRP-judypn-boot.img and So far it's hanging on downloading 'boot.img'... I'll let it sit but it looks like it might not go through. How long did the command take for you to install TWRP?

Update, Errors:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot boot twrp.img

downloading 'boot.img'...

FAILED (command write failed (No error))

finished. total time: 0.010s

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash recovery TWRP-judypn-boot.img

target didn't report max-download-size

sending 'recovery' (30804 KB)...

FAILED (command write failed (No error))

finished. total time: 0.004s

These are what I'm getting pretty much every time, or it just hangs at downloading, or not loading anything at all

Another Update:

So, I found https://www.reddit.com/r/PocoPhones/comments/a0u67h/help_press_any_key_to_shutdown_in_fastboot_mode/ where someone was having a similar issue and I ended up just bringing out a USB hub I had laying around and well, everything worked perfectly from there. So, Now I have installed TWRP. Just keep getting backup Failed when trying to backup everything. Now working on putting a custom rom in.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] whitedavidp:
Whew! I long ago learned that when doing this stuff USB ports, cables, connections REALLY MATTER. For example, I always use only a USB port that I know is directly attached to my desktop's motherboard - never the one on the front panel. I always use a high quality cable - the one that came with the device, if possible - and avoid adapters and such.

So did you do the ramdisk step immediately after booting into TWRP using fastboot?

Glad to hear that you are on the way a bit further down the line.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheHellian:
Yes! TWRP is now on the Ram Disk and I'm installing LineageOS and the GApps/Magisk. Also, I was using the USB Directly into my motherboard. Currently Using a Laptop and weirdly enough those are what was acting up. I used a kinda eh USB Hub and for some reason that worked Perfectly, of all things. Currently getting Error 20 on GApps and Error 1 on Magisk. Error installing Magisk v20.4 and gapps arm 4.4 nano 20200416.

Update:

Found out why GApps wasn't installing. I was a dummy using an old version

Still unsure on Magisk Though. It's unable to mount /system and keeps giving me error 1

Update 2: Was able to get Magisk installed after a few reboots. Also want to be able to dual boot into the LG OS. It just gives me an encryption error. Any clues on how to get around that?
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] yosia2618:
I followed all the steps carefully, try Windows 7 and 10, continue the error, the rawprogam does not come out as seen in the tutorial image

Note: The uploaded image says invalid port because I disconnect the cable previously

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] AceTacticz:
My phone's battery has been bad for a while now, and its just been sitting in a desk for about a year. I replaced the battery since my sister wanted to use it and upon turning on the phone again, I am getting screen feedback but only in the form of a black screen. I don't see any bootup screens, even if I try to go into recovery mode. Once again, the screen still lights up black if I do things like plug in the charger or press the power button. I've reseated the display cable and battery cable but to no avail. HiSuite recognizes that it's plugged in (although I can't do anything because HDB is disabled). Anyone have any ideas on why the screen is dead?

Hey mate,

[Huawei P30 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] Thechiller86:

[Huawei P30 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] vPro97:
Hey, A Mate 20 Pro user here!

I tried applying the same files on my Huawei Mate 20 Pro with no luck. However, I see that we potentially can make this work if we somehow can make this scale correctly for the QHD+ resolution of the Mate 20 Pro screen compared to the FHD+ of the P30 Pro.

What works when applying the files provided in the thread:

The lockscreen fingerprint changes - although it's smaller than the default lock screen icon.

What doesn't work when applying a new fingerprint animation:

When you use one of the animations, there are two possible scenarios: Either only the fingerprint icon changes with no change to the animation or the animation changes but is shifted to the left and thus doesn't light up directly over the fingerprint scanner which means that the fingerprint reader won't work. The likely reason for this not working is because the resolution of the P30 Pro is only FHD+ while the resolution of the Mate 20 Pro is QHD+.

What I have tried:

I've tried changing the name of the 'drawable-xxhdpi' to 'drawable-xxxhdpi' - doesn't work.

I extracted the 60 pictures from the OnePlus 6T McLaren Fingerprint GIF animation and renamed them properly as suggested in the guide in the P30 Pro thread, but it doesn't work.

Apparently, only the aod-files that have both 'wave_500x500_01'.jpg AND 'wave_600x600_black50_01'.jpg will actually change the fingerprint animation but the animation seems to be limited to only 12 frames and is - just as with the suggested animations in the thread - shifted to the left which leaves them unusable. Having the files in '.png' format doesn't work.

Any help or suggestions are welcome!

My LYA-L29 EMUI 10.0.0, i watch guide video youtube, but still same original fingerprint animation :confused:
[Huawei P30 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] vPro97:
LYA-L29 is a Mate 20 Pro, right?

It doesn't work properly for your device - I'm happy you didn't apply a theme that would actually change your fingerprint unlock.

If you insist, you can try 'Crystal Fire'. That one will change the animation but it won't be centered on your device and thus the fingerprint unlock won't work.

You can revert back by applying an unmodified theme - the Mate 30 Pro RS theme will revert your fingerprint animation back to stock ;)

if i understand it right, it Works only on android 10 cuz on 9 is missing folder?
[Huawei P30 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] NekoMichi:
If there isn't already a com.huawei.aod file in the theme folder, then it means the theme doesn't already have an AOD skin. Just copy your custom com.huawei.aod package into the root of the theme folder.
[Huawei P30 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] Chewydee:
I did that and rebooted but it didn't change the animation :(
[Huawei P30 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] NekoMichi:

Sent using taptalk
[Huawei P30 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] vPro97:
Not really. Not only are the names of each frame different (and that's an easy fix, you can change the names of each frame following my instructions in the Mate 20 Pro thread), but more importantly the size of the pictures for the animations is too small for our Mate 20 Pro and that's what causing the animation and the blue light (which is crucial for a proper read of your fingerprint) to light up in a different spot. So you will have to resize each frame (with the loss of quality that follows) and rename them in accordance with my guide and then they will work :)
