[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Sajil1:
Hi Guys,

I was curious to know how I can obtain the following:

Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 Pro eMMC write tool - so as to flush the OS. My client has many ex-demo LG phones that have no IMEI (probably no baseband chip). They need the boot unlocked to install a new OS (e.g. Lineage, or Ubuntu), preferably an open-source Linux version. The particular phone is LG G6 ThinQ. We want the boot sector unlocked. Do you know any product that can achieve this?

If this is not in your domain, could you refer me to someone who can assist me? Thank you in advance.

Hi, I am new here on xda, and this is my first thread so I wish that I am on the right section of the forum for this question. If not please explain me where else to move it. Thanks in advance.

So, I don't work as an engineer or somethink affiliated with this matter, moreover I have degrees in completely different fields from IT. But, the software development is a big hobby of mine from some years.

As for now I can program in C+, Python, little of Java, and I am spending these months of quarantine studying cybersecurity and system administration (lots of linux commands, trying dozens of linux distribution/BSD, trying some pentesting on a Metaesploitable I set up on a VM, etc...).

And here comes my problem which I address to you: I want now to start develop on android, trying to descover things etc..., one example above others I have an LG V30 with android Pie 9.0 for which there is no root procedure yet unless you downgrade to android Oreo, so how do I work on my smartphone directories? I do I develop on a Android phone? and what skills are required of me, in terms of programming languages, cybersecurity knowledge etc?

I thank in advance who will take their time to help me. :)

Why? Anyone has same issue? Thanks.

Just solve this issue. I use latest TWRP 3.1.1 but don't know why always got fail to install AEX. Then I download Flashify, and set the zip from there. Install still in TWRP but the process is automatic. No need to click-and-click again.

About the relationship between location and wifi, i'm really surprised. After turning ON the location service and wifi scanning, i have a solid wifi connection now. If you still have your vibe k5, i'll appreciate your feedback/confirmation on this.

This will allow other users to note this relationship between wifi stability, wifi scanning and location service when using the device.

Hi guys,

used XDA II / Himalaya until now and walked through time always with the newest ROMs ;-)

Got a Hermes now. I'm currently digging through all the different threads with all the different ROMs available.

Can somebody give me a recommendation for a ROM and a short description what the differences are? Should I take an official ROM or cooked, one of the latest or a well tested/stable one?

I know all the Info is probably in the forum, but it is very time consuming digging through all the threads and apparently there is only an overview of the official ROMs....

Thanks, Hannes.

Cooked ROMS are usually better because they start off with the official and then work the bugs out and add a few extras. To find one that works for you, look at the base model, then you can add cabs of tweaks/programs that fit you. The core is what is the most important to look at.

But with the pagepool changer, you can make any ROM seem to run faster. It helps to look at the core ROM and see what programs are cooked in, then change the pagepool to what you want because you sacrafice speed for storage.

Best thing to do is to read the threads associated with each ROM. That will easily tell you what is a "good" rom versus one that is "not so good". You determine for yourself what these terms mean.

Also use the search facility to give you even more information. Your question has been asked at least a thousand times now so a simple search would have set you off in the right direction. :)

About root, read as much that you can, just make sure you dont relock the bootloader, if you're not sure that the phone is completely stock. Also join the realme x2 pro development telegram, you'll find good info everyday.

Obviously the OTA doesn't work on unlocked bootloader.

How can I update my software? If I flash just System in fastboot will that work? Or is there some way to make the OTA work or convert the OTA into a flashable zip?

You can use ota update with unlocked bootloader, just root is an issue.

I would use LMSA'S Flash Rescue option

It will flash newer firmware and the you can reroot.

Or you can flash with fastboot or mfastboot

[Magisk] whitedavidp:
I am hoping that someone can help me. I have had an LG V40 with Android 9, Magisk, TWRP, and some Xposed Mods. At first all seemed fine in all respects. Then I noticed that the date/time in TWRP was not correct at all (2018 instead of 2020, etc). But I am 100% sure that at some point in the recent past it was correct (or at least close enough for me not to notice). So I am looking for the cause of this and how to fix it.

I noticed here that TWRP has some special code (cannot claim to fully understand it) that processes date/time differently on Qualcomm 800 series chips - which my phone has. In looking around at the code, I see that it is looking at ats* files so I have gone looking for them on my device. I find them in several places (nothing is ever easy):

/mnt/vendor/persist/time

/sbin/.magisk/mirror/data/vendor/time

/sbin/.magisk/mirror/persist/time

/data/vendor/time

In /mnt/vendor/persist/time I see:

ats_12 with modify at 2/9/2018 @ 10:39am

ats_13 with same

ats_15 with same

ats_16 with same

In /sbin/.magisk/mirror/persist/time I see the same as above.

in/sbin/.magisk/mirror/data/vendor/time I see:

ats_1 with modify at 5/1/2020 @ 6:09pm

ats_2 with same

ats_12 with modify at 5/13/2020 @ 11:49am

ats_13 with same

ats_15 with modify at 5/13/2020 @ 10:49am

ats_16 with same

And in /data/vendor/time I see the same as above.

What I am not understanding here is if these multiple sets are the result of Magisk and, if so, which are/were "original" and which are "mirrors" and in general what is Magisk doing with all this? I read here, under the heading MagicMount, that Magisk is doing things with /system and possibly with /vendor and /product. So I cannot really explain to myself what I am seeing here or why it is happening.

I apologize for the length of this and for veering off into TWRP a bit. But it is the only way I can describe my situation and conundrum.

I also have no idea how TWRP interacts with Magisk - if at all and how that might play into the date/time problems I am facing.

So thanks for your patience and help.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
The files in the mirror directories are used by Magisk for Modules (magic mounting) and MagiskHide.

I'm guessing you found those files while booted up and not in TWRP. Thing is that those Magisk mirror directories won't be there when you boot into TWRP (they're mounted by Magisk during a normal boot) and thus they can't have any effect on what you are describing.

Magisk does not load at all when you boot to TWRP.
[Magisk] whitedavidp:
Thanks for the help. You are correct, I was looking while booted into the system.

Do you happen to know if, while Magisk is doing the mirroring and merging, it fiddles any folder/file permissions/ownerships? Or should these remain identical to the "originals"? Cheers!
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] etwalgade:
Before I start, yes, I have searched and searched, googled and consumed every tidbit of information I could find on this before posting a questions, I really did try to figure this out myself. :)

I have an unlocked Pixel 4xl.

I have successfully unlocked the boot loader. And that is where my success ends.

I wanted to try to install PixleDust rom on this phone, but the pre-requisites say you have use twrp, but then I found other posts that said that twrp is not compatible with android 10... so I am confused. I was under the impression that Pixeldust would work on Pixel 4xl... but if it needs twrp to be flashed...

So I read where theoretically I could boot to twrp without flashing it to the device, to get around the issue, however, when I try that I get an error:

C:\Android Maintenance\ADB>fastboot boot "C:\Android Maintenance\Pixel 4XL\twrp.img"

Sending 'boot.img' (30736 KB) OKAY [ 0.706s]

Booting FAILED (remote: 'Unrecognized command boot')

fastboot: error: Command failed

So I searched for that error and it said that twrp is not supported in pixel 3 and up.

I tried this with twrp 3.2.3-1 and 3.3.0.0

So I am lost, help! :eek:

Specifically if someone can either a. tell me how to do make this work, b. point me in the direction of a better tutorial (I used do a lot of rom flashing a few years back, but I am rusty) or c. Tell me if I am going about this all wrong.

Thanks,

Twrp is not yet available for the Pixel 4 XL. I'm unsure which instructions you read for PixelDust because it gives you very clear instructions on how to install it. The instructions even say, "... since we dont have TWRP."

The link to PixelDust is: https://xdaforums.com/pixel-4-xl/development/rom-pixeldust-android-10-coral-t4043659 .... and the instructions are under the banner that says "Installation Guide." I think that once you find the instructions, it'll be very easy to follow.
