[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Patrickw_mdav:
I had the same problem, and I found it very annoying.

I've been searching the diamond and found some xml files in the following directory:

\Application Data\manila

There are several xml-files, choose the one for your own language-country combination.

1) Make a backup of the xml-file

2) Clear the read-only and the system flags of the xml-file.

3) Change the value of the <IncludeUserFavorites> field to TRUE

4) Save and you are ready.

P.S.

While you're there, you can also remove the <banner > field to get rid of the logo, and remove/change/add OperatorLinks ( e.g. the Search link)

Somehow I do not have a manila in my Application Data folder... How can this be? I have an original HTC, is this just for the T-Mobile versions? What is the filename of these files? Perhaps a search could help or does anybody know where these files lie on the original HTC?

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] A2Z:
THANKS !! it works only my icons are not the way i want yet.

Can you maybe also post a standard HTC Diamond opera xml file so we can adopt that in the MDA compact IV ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] eiskoud:
same prolem here on my T-Mobile MDA Vario IV (Dutch) but i can't find xml files in my manila folder.. just the htcblack theme that i've installed..

help ;)

do i have to use a special file browser to see the xml files?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jipstones:
hi guys, i am trying to remeove the bigpond logo and would like to change the default search option from sensis search to google.

i think i am in the right thread but cannot find the folder above. should i be looking in the registry or in the explore? either way i can't find the correct file to edit... help would be great

So if you want to change the homepage URL to anything else, just type the URL you want.

And if you want to add or remove favourite links, jus add in the same order "YouTube" has been added. Remove? Then remove the whole code > "FROM HERE to HERE part"

If you want to add a link icon, you can do so, but be sure to set the right location of the "ImagePath"=

AND THE MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL, DONT USE Windows notepad, use Notepad++ (its jus ~5mb and free software, you can google and download)

WHY? Because the XML file is encoded in utf-16 and if you edit this file in notepad and press save, the encode maybe lost.

Of coz those who are familiar with notepad can do so...its ur wish ;)
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] LittleBigHead:
Hi guys,

hope u r all doing great and safe.

I had pool water gotten into my op7pro and it now doesnt boot but just hang after the spinning animation and then it hang and keep rebooting and repeating untill i have to power it off manually by going into boot loader or recovery and power off from there.

I was able to boot into twrp, decrypt and perform usual operation and even access my data until i wipe it and used msm tool.

Now i can't even flash any recovery or perform any other operation when i cant boot and go into dev mode to enable oem unlocking. Cant even unlock boot loader or switch partition etc.

I had done what i could drying it in rice and bought to shop to try for repair but to no vail. But theres jus this part in me telling me it could be just a simple part to be replace like a flex cable or something.

I hope anyone with the knowledge can help pls and thank u in advance.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] AceMasterHan:
Thinking about picking up the V60 ThinQ. I don't have any experience with LG so I'm not sure how user friendly they are when it comes to root and unlocking bootloaders. I'm stubborn and refuse to buy a phone that doesn't have:

1) A headphone jack

2) A microSD card slot

3) Root access

Yes I realize that is just making life harder for myself but I have my principles.

I know this phone is fairly new and I seem to be having trouble finding much information about root. Does anyone know if there has been any progress with it?

I'm really not trying to be "that guy" I just haven't had much luck finding reliable info. I suppose that is probably a good indicator that the info just doesn't exist but I figured I'd take a shot at asking the pros.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Some_Ghost:
don't get me wrong I love this phone but I kind of regret trading my pixel 4 xl... LG blocked users access to the bootloader... you can access fastbootd and download mode and recovery and that's it. all commands are blocked in fastboot mode as well. although the OEM unlock switch can be toggled out of the box I think they allowed this because they know that you will not gain access. I may get the S20 Plus next week, at least it has root...
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] shook187:
Is root even a thing now?
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] AceMasterHan:
Thanks I really appreciate the info. Looks like I'll be holding off for a bit to see how things progress. I really like the look of this phone but root access is one thing I won't bend on. Thanks again.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] AceMasterHan:
It is for me. I use a few apps that need root permissions. Also, being locked out of certain parts of a pocket computer "for my own good/safety/security" just doesn't sit well with me. If I decide to go into the file system and start hacking and slashing files until it's a brick, that's on me.

I can easily see how that could seem silly to some but at the end of the day if I'm going to spend hundreds of dollars or more on a device that I carry with me everywhere and use every day for the foreseeable future, it's damn sure going to have the features that I want. For me that's a 3.5mm headphone jack, a microSD slot, and root access. Of course, I have a bad habit of making my own life more difficult based on principle alone. I wouldn't recommend it. However we all have to pick and choose our own hills to die on. Don't even get me started on dongles...

Anyway, I'm very sleep deprived and rambling on about nonsense. Apologies.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] dbaldock9:
For those who still want a 3.5mm audio jack on their cellphone, the S20 Plus isn't a viable option.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Some_Ghost:
that may be true, but I was talking about myself because I could care less about the headphone jack. I got the V60 because of the battery life, the size, the price, and 5G... the dual screen was a bit intriguing yes but it did not fully influence my choice lol
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] V30ish:
I was thinking about getting the V60 too as I'm still on the V30, and just broke the screen over the weekend. Root is essential to me because I cannot use the portable hotspot to tether without it as my carrier blocks that by default, and forces you to change your plan if you want tethering. Root is the only way I know around that, but it sounds like the V60 has not yet been rooted.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] claydoh:
it took over a year many variants of the V30 to be rooted iirc, this phone is far too new, and in limited markets (so fewer devs hacking on them). My guess is it will take a while for us, unless someone gets lucky.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] BROKEN1981:
Just to add to this, I seen that an octopus box can work on every device EXCEPT the T-Mobile version.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Mejilan:
I'm certainly no expert, but I would expect rooting this phone to take quite some time, and perhaps a small miracle.

I don't even think they're selling an open-market unlocked version in the U.S. as they did with my last phone, the V30+.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] V30ish:
Could you elaborate on this further please? I'm not familiar with want an octopus box is. Thank you!

Also, I'm curious about articles like this https://myphoneupdate.com/root-lg-v60-thinq-5g/ where the guy claims he roots the V60 via SuperSU & Magisk, among a few other methods. Is it all BS?
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] BROKEN1981:
That article is BS.

I suggest looking on eBay. There might be a fire hose.

I only see up to the V40
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] babyarm85:
easy solution...

Get the V60. Use an app called PDAnet+ from the play store. Costs $8 to permanently unlock unlimited tethering. Works on un-rooted phones and hides the data from the carrier. Hands down one the best apps I ever paid for. They have a trial mode to make sure it works. Hope this helps.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] GenuineDickies99:
PDAnet is great. Gets around the tether cap for me no sweat. What do you mean by it hides the data though? Are you saying it shows NO data use or it hides the fact you are tethering?
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] GDane1:
Pdanet+ only gives you truely unlimited tethering/hotspot only with a rooted device? are will it work on my t-mobile LG V60 thin Q device regular not being rooted because there is no root process yet on the V60 device.Is there any special way that you need to set up the pdanet+ app in order to get unlimited hotspot on the V60 to work? Thanks In advance!!!
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] GenuineDickies99:
I'm using it on my V60 now as a client but it's working as a host on my temporary unrooted revvlry and it worked just fine on my unrooted v40. You need to know how to set the proxy setting in advanced networking because you can connect any device to it using the proxy settings. Click help in pdanet and follow the instructions for other devices. But the best results are going to come if you have PdaNet on both devices and you connect them through the PdaNet application.

But no. I am getting truly unlimited tethering with no throttling on all of my unrooted devices that I've used it as a host. So if you -don't- have a rooted device try PdaNet. It works because it is operating as its own server, a proxy server. The data is going to your unrooted device then going through a server to the client device. The carrier doesn't see this as a tether.

Edited for errors
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] frettd:
I second that. Completely worth paying for. The only thing I found is that Verizon sometimes seemed to catch on to what I was doing, because I would stop getting data. I would have to disconnect and then reconnect and then things worked fine. It was a minor inconvenience.

One reason I want root access is so I can run AdGuard and NordVPN together (without using their SOCKS5 server).
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] GenuineDickies99:
After what I have read about what they did to fastboot Im not holding my breath for root. Im returning the phone and getting the Galaxy S10.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] papadelogan:
Root has become less of a necessity for me over the years, though I do think that if I pay $1 for something, it should be mine to do with as I choose. $800 for a phone and I DAMN SURE should have that ability. If I brick it or make it so that any noob can get my info off wifi/bluetooth/whatever, then that's on me. No *****in' policy in full effect.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Alibaba0101:
The v40 is fully bootloader unlockable with root if you are using an ocotoplus box. There are a few folks on telegram that will do it remotely. This requires that they typically connect to their own private network via vpn and remapping their usb devices to make them accessible on your computer.

A version of the v60 just had their bootloader unlock made available:

https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/07/04/lg-adds-bootloader-unlock-support-to-three-more-phones/

Still trying to track down the supported frequencies for LMV600EA though. And so far it doesn't look like there is an unlocked rom version that can flashed to enable the bands that i would need for at&t.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] CommanderSozo:
------------------------------------------------------------------

Does the info on this site work?

https://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/062a530a

I would love to know if this phone would work with T-Mobile.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Alibaba0101:
Thanks, but as suspected. Based on the specs from the site above, it does not support tmobile B71 or att B29, B30 specific bands. Will it work, most likely. Will it work well and not drop calls? Doubtful.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] antintin:
Guys, you'll never get root for at least a year other than the European model, which is practically non existent on eBay and such sites. The octopus box needs the firehose, and that will take over a year to leak most likely. It hasn't even been leaked for the v50 or g8. The t mobile version also won't be root able ever with the firehose due to hardware differences. If you want root, the best choice is to go with a g8 or v50
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] ch3mn3y:
Does really LG made their device so locked?

Was thinking about the Velvet, but there are few apps which needs root and MAGISK modules I use, one or two of the apps I even HAVE to use coz of work

No root means that I'll need 2nd device, so why bother?

Ohh, Lg! Why You become so shi**y?

And they probably still doesn't get why they devices sell so bad even if they are no worse than what others have...
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] GDane1:
So was the T-Mobile bro rootable? And if it was it took a year for to become readable so basically if somebody wants to root the V60 to tie two people a year before that would be able to happen? Thanks In advance for your time.

I'm completely with you (as are most on this forum). Who would buy a car that has a lock on the engine hood? Or a house where you aren't allowed to replace the lamps? So, why would I buy a phone that prohibits me from rooting?
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] salmans13:
This type talk reminds me of reminds me of guys who think driving stick is something that is so impressive. Root access is like getting free medicare to some lol. Gaining root access just sounds cool and some of the features are so overrated. You pay a grand for a phone but it's not like you would go to the moon with root access.

I did my fair share of rooting since early 2010. Not much changes day to day with my rooted phone or my non rooted phone.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] NYCgirl:
I'm not a guy, and I don't drive manual transmission ;). But I like the right to modify what is mine.

There are many reasons to root – performance, features, privacy, or just interest. Of course, not everyone will root (just like most people won't modify their cars).

But I should have to right to do so, if I want. :cool:
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] sonhy:
Hear hear so true! it ain't yours if you feel in any way negative about taking it apart or modifying it.... its ok if people are not interested in risking damaging their own phones but a real shame that some people are so scared they want to deter others as well.

Give me

microsd slot up to 2TB

full root capability & custom rom ability

< 160g weight

no notch or punchhole

flat screen (no curved or infinity display)

6.5" screen size or bigger

12gb ram

fast processor (snapdragon 865 or faster)

NO 5g

gorilla glass 6 or 7

ip68 water/dust resistant

fast charging

and you could take my money at almost any cost. I'd pay up to $1,000 for the above phone.

Sadly, no such phone exists. Therefore I will keep my phone from 2017 and have no plans to upgrade in the foreseeable future.

Presently i have

microsd slot up to 2TB

full root capability & custom rom ability

< 160g weight

no notch or punchhole

flat screen (no curved or infinity display)

6.0" screen size or bigger

6gb ram

fast processor (snapdragon 845)

NO 5g

gorilla glass 5

ip68 water/dust resistant

fast charging

You might notice the only thing lacking is

bigger screen

faster processor

more ram

higher gorilla glass

In other words we don't want your crappy new gimmicks, just faster stuff in the same phone (except 5g).

What I have is sufficient. I'm planning on putting a custom rom on it to "upgrade" it which should make some improvements. I plan on keeping this for the next 3 to 5 years, possibly longer, unless something comes out with all of my above list.

p.s. if they put kitkat on there, it would be the best phone ever. Isn't going to happen though. I don't want android 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or any other crap from google.

The world presently sucks in every way.

Great app

I've tryed it for a moment. Seems like a great app. My only prob is that video lags alot. Im on a wireless router and 4mb speed. Dont know if it's the diamond that can't stream so fast or generel diamond video problem..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] darthbane2k:
Looks interesting.

Not installed yet but what predefined channels do you have for the UK? Is Sky News one of them?

I have a Diamond, but will I have to install the.net framework? I dont like clogging my system memory.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] akito:
I'm running it through UMTS/HSDPA at around 70 kbyte/s... works great!

Sinsanatic, perhaps it's cause your run Mediaplayer which doesn't support well the GPU. I had this problem too just when i bought my Diamond. If you install coreplayer (not free, but great anyway!) you will find out that your video streams wonderful.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dscemama:
I think that .NET Framework 2.0 is part of WM6.

It was already installed no my Diamond when I got it.

Please have a look at my Web site for a list of currently supported channels (http://www.ds-info.fr/DiamondTV/versioninfo.html) and how to have a free license key by sending me new channels (http://www.ds-info.fr/DiamondTV/freelicense.html).

Thanks
