[Moto G7 Guides, News, & Discussion] AlcvvvAl:
This guide for those who want to root their G7 when it already has LineageOS installed.

This did not brick my device or wipe my already mature LOS build. But still, BACKUP YOUR PHONE ANYWAY.

If you don't have LOS yet, read this guide: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/river/install (make sure you find the correct version of LOS for your device, some are not "river").

Prerequisites:

Download the latest Magisk .zip file from https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/

Also download the Magisk uninstaller and the Magisk Manager apk from that same webpage.

Get the latest TWRP version for your device. For me, it was twrp-3.3.1-2-river.img. Get your .img file here: https://twrp.me/Devices/

get the latest version of adb. https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/

Step 1:

Backup your phone. Nandroid can work through TWRP if your phone isn't encrypted. Mine was so I YOLO'd it. Don't do that unless you are okay with losing everything.

Step 2:

Plug in your phone into your PC and boot into your bootloader. Either Power+Vol down if your phone is off, or

adb reboot bootloader

from your PC.

Step 3:

On your computer, enter the command

fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-2-river.img

.

Step 4:

On your phone, you are now in TWRP. Hit the Advanced button, then hit the ADB sideload. Swipe the bottom to activate it.

Step 5:

On your computer, type

adb sideload Magisk-vXX.zip

the XX is your version number, just make sure the file name is exact.

Step 6:

Hit the Reboot button. If it asks you to install TWRP to the phone, DO NOT DO IT since it'll send you into a soft brick.

Step 7:

Once you are rebooted, plug the phone back into your PC and enable file transfer from the phone. Give yourself that Magisk Manager apk and install it on the phone.

You are done!

Hi! I have a friend that has an LG G7 ThinQ. Her husband just recently passed again from COVID and she's wondering if there's any way that she can bypass the lock screen so she can retrieve information from the phone.

The phone is OEM firmware. Any ideas or any specialist that I can refer her to? We are based in Los Angeles, CA.

Thank you very much in advance.

[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] manuhuelva:
Sorry for ur friend mate.

A lockscreen from LG means that u Will lost all the data if u dont remember this. That says the text from LG before u accept the lockscreen agreement.

The oem software is blocked with encryption that prevents writing to /system and other dependencies. Even worse if the terminal does not have the usb-debuggin enabled, it will not be able to modify anything from fastboot or recovery. The only thing I can think of would be to flash from lgup the partitions that are needed to bypass the lock, but again the data partition I suppose will remain locked by encryption. You should contact LG Electronics to discuss the case as it is something exceptional and they could help you.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] NPEv2:
Hey guys, I have a little problem and could need some Help fixing my S10+ (G975F)

What did I do:

- Flashed latest TWRP from TWRP.me + vbmeta

What happened:

- My S10 was stuck in a endless bootloop at the S10 logo, didn't boot to download mode or TWRP and my PC didn't recognize it.

My problem now:

I let the phone in that bootloop over night to let the battery discharge. Next day when it was powered of I tried entering download mode by pressing volume down + bixby and connecting the cable to my pc but the screen was just staying black, after releasing the volume down and bixby key but keeping the cable connected it started with the bootloop again, so right now there i'm out of ideas, I just can't enter the download mode or TWRP.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Best regards, Jan

Did you tried to enter recovery?

And BTW samsung download mode is super strong almost impossible to brick you aren't trying key combination correctly to enter download mode or recovery.

When phone is restarting to enter download mode

Just

Hold bixby, volume down and while holding these, put the usb-c cable in the s10+ when connected to the PC.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] NPEv2:
Thanks for your reply, but as I described I tried everything from above, with different PCs and Cables.

Had same problem for download mode, in the end it worked with cable plugged into pc and phone held volume down bixby button then powered the phone on,went into download mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] NPEv2:
If I press bixby and volume down while being connected to PC I just get a blackscreen
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] comsite:
What happened when it went to black screen instead of download mode? I mean what its shows in pc?specifically in odin? While on black screen try tu press volume up and to proceed download mode even though there is black screen if then it shows in odin then you can flash stock.

Did you unlock boot loader before flashing twrp? Did you?

Can I do anything to update it, root, debloat, or unlock the bootloader or anything with it?

should I have a bought a different carrier version?
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] zeek6228:
To update I think you need to put in an activated AT&T SIM. You can find on eBay for $2-3
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Romman0:
Not sure about rooting, but as I have replied to a few guys here about updating. Try removing your Sim card, then factory reset. When it reboots DO NOT connect to WiFi and skip everything to get to the home screen. After your at the home screen connect to WiFi and go to settings and check for updates. If it works, do them one after another until is can't find any more.

That worked for me and the only thing I can think of. It's worth a shot.

How does the phone hold up in the switch dock? is it secure enough and easy enough to dock / undock?

Cheers
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Accessories] skydsler:
Hey,

Its secure enough i think, it fits almost perfect.

there is a small plastic nipple behind the phone to support it.

you can turn the dock sideways without the phone falling out.

it is very tight in the usb port.

the only suggestion for improvement: insert a little foam on the left and right under the phone for a perfect hold.

Usb ports and chargig port works too...

So u can use display out, charging and a wiered Controller at the same time ( funfact: use a usb network adaper on the second port for best ping ) :)

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] diracsbracket:
Hi

I have recently acquired a Korean LG-F700S G5 model which I want to root.

However, nothing seems to work.

None of the One-click apps succeed.

I have used the download mode to go from Android 6.0.1 to 8.0 and back to 7.0,

using Uppercut & LGUP (going back to 6.0.1 does not work?)

Fastboot mode is not available, so I can't use TRWP or similar tools to flash a

custom recovery.

Today, I got to know about the CVE-2019-2215 vulnerability which is supposed to work on many Linux kernel versions.

See e.g. github.com/grant-h/qu1ckr00t or googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2019/11/bad-binder-android-in-wild-exploit.html.

Would that vulnerability work on Linux Kernel version 3.18.31 of Android 7.0 currently on my G5?

Has anyone succeeded to exploit the CVE successfully on a Korean LG-F700S phone?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] diracsbracket:
Yes. It does. I flashed Oreo with SLP Aug. 1, 2018 and the su98 exploit found here on XDA.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] totalnoob34:
This is good news. Maybe all other models can be rooted this way.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] diracsbracket:
Well, not really useful on Korean models. Bootloader cannot be unlocked so even temp root seems

pretty useless in the end. Even unwanted carrier apps cannot be deleted, courtesy of DM-verity.

I saw Clove too and have used them before but they say its 256 but Huawei say the pro + only comes with 512? And that is in their own shop page.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blufires:
I'm looking for a software which does this:

Plug your phone into the PC and the software presents the PC as a desk-type dock, so instead of just charging and giving you a popup to select connection mode (MTP, PTP etc), the phone thinks it's on a dock and the screensaver action associated with a desk dock are activated, and the phone's audio is routed to the PC.

It would be nice to have the phone charge in a stand when it's on your desk, with a Google Photos screensaver, and be able to use it as a second screen for video and messaging apps with one of Logitech's multi-device USB/Bluetooth keyboards. It would be great for a workspace to keep distractions on the phone and off the PC monitor. It would also be great to be able to keep the phone's screen awake at your desk without it staying awake while it's charging on your night stand.

I can't find this by searching the internet, because all I can find are "turn your phone into a pseudo-PC with this dock!"
