Thank you for your efforts! I watched a video from India today. They got the ATC1/H update first. It looks very promising, take a look:

https://youtu.be/wZoWAben4CA

The old news about the ATC2 update from Korea are somewhat misleading since the update with the lower number brings improvements that where not to be seen in the ATC2 video from Korean user which we all have probably seen.

I just got an update to .......ATCH and can confirm AF works now pretty well including close up.

RAW from telephoto or wide angle is not available . Camera2 API does not see the telephoto camera.

So I guess AF is likely the only fix.

I've got a MDA which has a broken lcd. Its just cracked slightly, but still displays fine. I did a Clear Storage and now the phone has reset and is giving me the "tap here to set up your device" wizard. I need to bypass this and any screen alignment that may come up since the LCD touch feature no longer works. I've done it before when I got the phone, but I cant find the thread nor remember the steps.

Any help is appreciated.

I had an issue where my phone was unable to update to the latest version, so I attempted to get a fresh start using the MSMDownloadTool, which was working fine until it got stuck when downloading the 4j1ed.bin to the phone. I eventually had to cancel the operation.

My issue is now, even after restarting and reinstalling the Qualcomm drivers, I'm getting a persistent USB device not recognized notification and I am unable to get any response from either the phone or the tool.

Thanks for the help.

[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] ClownWorld:
Could you elaborate, which resources did you use and what was the process, also does this now mean you are able to install TWRP, if so, which exact version and then are you able to root through TWRP or ODIN?

Wonder if there's a place one can find out whether this would work on US AT&T locked version, will unlock, speaking of which, why are there videos out there talking about that there's a cost to unlocking carrier, isn't the unlock free and provided on AT&T's website, what's the difference in terms of privacy risks and $?

Thanks
[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Syrop:

[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] ATRIXXIRTA:
Which device from the list of supported devices did you use?

From developer.lge.com:

Supported Devices

The following devices support unlocking the bootloader:

• LG V50: LMV500EM for the European market

• LG V40: LMV405EBW for the European market

• LG G7: LMG710EM for the European market

• LG V30: H930 and H930G for the European market

• LG G6: US997.USA for the U.S. open market

• LG G6: H870 for the European market

• LG V20: US996.USA for the U.S. open market

• LG V10: H960A for the European market and Android M (Except France)

• LG G5 SE: H840 for the European market

• LG G5: RS988.USA for the U.S. open market

• LG G5: H850 for the European market

• LG G4: H815 for the European market

Unlocking the Bootloader is only supported on selected devices.
[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Syrop:
no one

for now you only need to write IMEI and Device-ID, not choose model

and it works
[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] ATRIXXIRTA:
Gotcha.

Did you go through the full process of unlocking your bootloader, or did you just use fastboot to get the device ID credentials and get an email from LG with the .bin file?

You got me curious!!
[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] ClownWorld:
Does this mean that upon unlocking the bootloader, installing a different ROM, rooting, one unlocks also the carrier, or is separate issue and how come some pay money for it when it seemingly is free on the carrier website? Scam? Or how are these private persons able to unlock the carrier for you? Say AT&T -> Global.

Also, is TWRP always device model specific or is there an option which is compatible for multiple models, likely to work with G8X in this case, I'm assuming a G8X specific TWRP does not exist.
[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Syrop:
yes, guys

i have g8x g850ewm for european market

i officially unlock bootloader using https://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryTypeCode=ANRS

for now it's only need IMEI and Device-ID (look at screenshot)

for now, with root i managed to use volte and vowifi in Russia =)

how did you flash magisk? Do you have a working twrp img? I didnt find one.
[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] ClownWorld:
How did you get into bootloader, adb reboot bootloader or adb reboot fastboot just reboots the device into android.
[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] ATRIXXIRTA:

[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] ClownWorld:
Dev mode [x]

Debugging [x]

OEM unlock [x]

Yet it reboots into android.

EDIT: Looks like AT&T has disabled bootloader. What are my options?
[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Syrop:
downloaded full kdz

extracted it

copy boot.img to phone memory

in magisk app - patch boot.img

copy to desktop and flash using fastboot

fastboot flash boot_a boot_patched.img

fastboot flash boot_b boot_patched.img

easy
[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] ATRIXXIRTA:
I haven't tried it yet, so I can't say for sure, but you have the SDK tools you need on your desktop?

And you're running the CMD window from within the same folder that you have the SDK tools?
[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] ClownWorld:
I don't think that matters, all commands are recognized, it's that AT&T has disabled bootloader, unless someone releases and exploit like this: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671396

https://www.xda-developers.com/boot...s-been-found-for-the-sprint-oneplus-7-pro-5g/ - more recent

Can't do anything, as far as I understand it. So I guess no root, no twrp/recovery, no privacy. If these exploits are heavily model specific it will probably never happen with the G8X. Mainly I wanted to have root, de-google the etc. the phone with micro-g, and have twrp, hopefully customize roms, but I should have done more research beforehand.

Would be better if https://www.xda-developers.com/leaked-eu-proposal-smartphone-batteries-replaceable/ gets passed and soon So one can buy a phone at least somewhat worth buying, as we don't even own what we buy these days, communist beast system devices and all. What a crock.

But aleast people now will know that the guide is legit (?), thanks to our Bratan here (cpc), provided you don't have a carrier branded phone -> locked the bootloader.
[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] ATRIXXIRTA:
What model number is your device?
[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] ClownWorld:
LM-G850UM

I wonder if I can unlock the carrier from AT&T at least, the unlock portal at at&t says that it's still under contract or something like that, not sure what that means, will the guys contract run out in 12-24 mo and I will be able to unlock it through the AT&T portal or has he somehow bailed on it and it's locked forever.

I've also seen sites selling unlock codes, which this thing does ask for when I put in a different sim card, however I don't know if these sites are legit and if they work for never models like the G8x.

So that's where I'm currently at.
[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] ATRIXXIRTA:
I'm not sure, I'm on Bell in Canada, and since 2017 all devices in Canada are sold as unlocked.

If you have an older device that IS carrier locked, you can get the carrier to unlock it for you at no charge.

I used to use a site to unlock devices, and the price ranged anywhere from $10 to $100 depending on the device, but I can't for the life of me remember what site that was.

That was back around 2012/2013.

Mine is also LM-G850UM, but I haven't tried the process of unlocking the bootloader yet.

I'm concerned that once I submit the device ID, it will void the warranty, and if it doesn't actually unlock the bootloader, then I've wasted the warranty for nothing.
[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] ClownWorld:
Hm, have you tried to "adb reboot bootloader"? If you can get in there, you at least know that the bootloader is accessible. (You don't risk anything by doing this, as this is before you submit the IMEI.)

I don't think you waste anything if your device remains locked, or if you re-lock it? I'm assuming you mean in case something goes wrong and you go to your local place and they will be able to search the IMEI in some database and see that you've submitted to have it unlocked?

Currently reading this article: https://www.xda-developers.com/magisk-no-longer-hide-bootloader-unlock-status/

This line got my interest:

"In order to root your phone, you usually need to unlock the bootloader, which allows you to flash modified boot images."

---

"But how can the “right to repair” be enforced when it comes to software updates? Really there would appear to be only one solution, and

that would be to allow the bootloader unlocking of smartphones released in the EU

. Because of GDPR requirements, many manufacturers such as OnePlus already have EEA variants of their software, so this wouldn’t introduce fragmentation that doesn’t already exist. Admittedly, I can foresee manufacturers getting around that by releasing an update that would unlock the bootloader once a device reaches EOL, which would ultimately solve the issue whilst also remaining rather useless for developers and smartphone modders on our forums."

Yes pls (https://www.xda-developers.com/eu-right-to-repair-laws-update-smartphone/)
