[LG V40 Questions & Answers] boodi:
Hi

I have bought a used lg v40 v405ua variant written on box ( which doesnt show sprint or at&t logos/ bloatware or branding) ; I bought it as stuck in bootloop .

I do not know if before it was flashed to this model , or anything else.

After some patience and a number of factory reset I've managed to go over the red lg logo bootload screen freeze, go through the initial settings page and with wifi OFF and no simcard in to arrive to the home page , without freeze ;

I was also able to navigte settings , and to switch to developer / enable oem unlock ON , and usb debugging ON.

I was able to get IMEI , to see it runs Android 9 after factory reset , to read it is v405ua variant , to enter camera and take a pic .

The phone is currently On shows time and date on double tap and I am able still to navigate it into settings with no slow down or freeze .

If I navigate or get into some app with wifi off , or equally if I turn on wifi and it starts exchanging data or updating (?) , then it slows down instantly, usually stuck on a black screen and the 3 android buttons downside , sometimes I am able to push power button and use power menu to turn it off , the majority of times it is freezed and it needs volume down + power button to restart ;

any restart will get it to the lg red logo boot screen , and freeze there ( and I will need to try factory reset/erase ).

I am no expert at all on android/mobiles/recoveries , I can't imagine if it is software that is corrupt or if it is an hardware problem or what else .

I 've read many different threads about unlocking bootloader , rooting (or changing model and else), and I am not sure as there are many options

what should I try from here ?

ps a side information : if I turn on Bluetooth the icon in the tiles menu' blinks on and off , or when I enter the bluetooth activation page and switch it on it remains a pale blue >> in the meanwhile the phone cant see or be seen by any other bluetooth device .

Any help ? thanks all of you who can help me this out :svetius:

I recommend you start from scratch.

Start here: https://xdaforums.com/lg-v40/how-to/guide-lgup-root-t3967858

Use LGUP and Download mode to flash the latest version (Oreo or Pie) of the V40 OS to the phone.

started here :good:https://xdaforums.com/lg-v40/how-to/guide-lgup-root-t3967858

I did 1. 2. 3.

not sure which "compatible" KDZ should I get , as I don't know which v405UA model is my v40 , .. : supposely there's more v405UA ( different?) models and different KDZ for different v405UA models too ?
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] NGOwner:
My recommendation is to cross flash over to the US version (unless you are not in the US).

Grab either the Oreo or Pie version here:

[LG V40 Questions & Answers] boodi:
I am not in the US ( I am in EU )
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] boodi:
I am ready at step 3.

OEM developer and USB debugging are switched on , I don't know if I need something else .

+ I still need to understand which "compatible" ( as stated in the lgup thread ) KDZ , among many , to flash it with lgup , and then try the procedure .
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] boodi:
no luck until now trying with LGUP 1.15 or 1.16

installed both but they do not start / do not show anything any dialog window any app any alert
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] NGOwner:
That usually means a driver issue. I think you have to have the phone plugged into and recognized by the computer beforre anything will show in LGUP.

As for the kdz, these are the European kdzs: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-lmv405ebw-firmwares/

[NG]Owner
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] boodi:
it was an Antivirus ( AVG )

at least , I removed it and then all went straight .

I flashed it with the v405QAe20 kdz with lgup 1.16 - refurbish option . very fast and straight .

Now I have "v405UA20e" listed settings / phone / software ( no v405QA20e as expected ) and should probably try flashing it to a european version (?)

New problem though ........ the phone doesn't freeze anymore , but now it shuts off on his own from time to time

where to go from here ? root ?

[LG V40 Questions & Answers] Talysdaddy:
It depends dude, are you trying to use it in EU? If yes then it'd be a good idea to flash a stock rom from that area. It enables radios/bands that are used in your area so that you'd have no issues calling/texting or i'net.

The post right above yours links to the appropriate ROMs for you so you should have all you need.

After you've flashed the ROM, I'd do a factory reset, in the settings app, not in recovery unless you have the original email info, otherwise you might trigger FRP and you wouldn't wanna do that. This might help with your reboot issue, in fact I'd do it twice in a row just in case.

There you go, you're all set.
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] boodi:
I did the factory reset. Problem is ( new...completely) phone have hard time in recharging now......this is *completely new* problem. it came out of nowhere only after last self-switch off( and after flashing the new firmware v405uae20) ; before never showed it . When it was off and I plugged it (before the flash), the phone always got the battery icon showing in the center of the black screen /with the percentage of battery reached.

Now it doesn t.

Or it is an hit and miss ( and it doesn't depend on charger or failing usb port) . Before this the phone has remained alive 4 days without much use and no simcard in, without issues
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Questions & Answers] Jack481:
Hello

I've got question about my Mi 9 SE. Recently I bought a USB tester for voltage and current. When charging the smartphone it shows most of the time time 7V/1.8A. Shouldn't it be around 9V/ 2A or 5V / 3A? (Tested on original cable and charger)

Edit: One more thing - since miui 11 update - my phone does this weird thing that when I connect the phone to the charger, in the first 10 seconds quick charge turns on, then it turns off and on again (further on it is stable)
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Questions & Answers] DON2003:
me too, its charging at 15w most of the time, may be 18w if power off, havent tried

switching from fast to slow then fast is normal, it means it detect and enabled qualcomm charging protocol, afaik
[General Questions and Answers] RIAM Rodin:
Hi...

I have Huawei Y3 2017(CRO-UOO) with Android 6.0. Can I upgrade it to a higher version, like Android 8 or 9???
[General Questions and Answers] Raiz:
If Huawei didn't provide you an OTA update, then no, you can't upgrade your phone to Android 8 or 9 or higher.

And just to let you know, you can do that with every other phone with what we call ROMs, but Huawei decided to prevent its customer to install them. So you're stuck with Android 6.

If you consider buying a new phone later on, don't buy Huawei phones, I know they're attractive for the price and the specs but that's it. You'll never be able to flash anything on it, or even root it...

Hope you still have a good day :p

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jolly-jump:
Hi there,

I have a Samsung SM-J100H and I have searched and read hopefully thoroughly this forum and found no conclusive answer

how to get TWRP onto my phone without a Windows computer

I found:

https://www.teamandroid.com/2015/12/28/how-to-install-twrp-2-8-7-0-recovery-on-samsung-galaxy-j1/2/ which supposedly works with ODIN which only works on Windows.

I have not found, how to do the same using heimdall, which works on Linux.

I have found that `adb reboot bootloader` does not work with my device - it justs reboots.

I have found that using the three-button-combo does get me into download mode but then I am stuck, since it seems that I have no fastboot functions, so I cannot use the guide https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/

My goal is:

make a complete backup of my stock rom

get twrp on the phone as recovery

try different custom roms that I found for the J100H

try to build a custom rom on my own

Thank you for any help!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jolly-jump:
I reply myself, since after more reading and searching, I indeed found no way to unlock my bootloader using heimdall and Linux, see here:

https://gitlab.com/BenjaminDobell/Heimdall/-/issues/388

It seems the current heimdall or the current usb-drivers or my cable or my USB-Ports are responsible for not being able to do the TWRP -> RECOVERY step in the first place.

## Using windows

Sadly I had to resolve to use a Windows 10 Computer, an Odin installation downloaded from ship (v3.14) and a TWRP image from kingkobra97: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850493528

That actually worked seemingly without a problem, but it did not boot into the recovery partition when using VOLUME UP+ HOME + Power combination, it booted into the stock recovery.

The only obvious change was the "STatus: custom" in the last line of the stock recovery. Maybe some more boot-reboot combination should have done the trick.

## Using linux again

now I miraculously could use the same heimdall command in download mode that did nothing beforehand with the same strange warnings.

But this time I rebooted right into TWRP recovery mode.

$ sudo heimdall flash --verbose --no-reboot --RECOVERY recovery.img
Heimdall v1.4.2

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheExploitedOne:
Unfortunately Samsung replaced fastboot mode with Odin mode (hosted in the bootloader). I'd prefer you use a Windows OS with Odin as you'd have a way better success rate with that tool.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jolly-jump:
Thank you, is there a way to replace the Odin mode by the fastboot mode?

I was wondering why the fastboot mode did not "appear" when I seemingly flashed TWRP successfully.

This is actually not quite true.

If I reboot into recovery mode, I was back to the stock recovery. I could reproduce going to download mode, downloading TWRP then going into recovery mod ewith TWRP. Now I downloaded Lineage OS and it seems TWRP is permanent, but I will have to check.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheExploitedOne:
Yes the stock system has a file 'recovery-on-boot.p' and force flashes the stock recovery upon boot. When you go to download mode and download TWRP you have to uncheck auto-reset. After that hard reset the immediately hold the key combo to recovery and your good for custom flashing

Fastboot is not integrated by the bootloader on Samsung devices. You won't be able to replace Odin download mode as that can brick the device

You're welcome as well good sir I'm glad to be able to help
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jolly-jump:
Ok. thanks you again.

That means for my level of experience there is just no way of unlocking the bootloader.

But the good thing is, that some how in the normal process of install TWRP and LineageOS it seems to have somehow broken the "force stock recovery upon boot" cycle. I always get into TWRP recovery, even if I boot the download mode = odin mode. In odin mode it says twice "custom" which means probably that the odin mode recognizes that both the system and probably the recovery is custom.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheExploitedOne:
Yes that shows the system has be modified (tampered). After you flashed a new OS it doesn't contain that file so TWRP will stay without issues
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Haris1977:
*wrong thread !! Sorry! Devs can erase my thread!
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] Haris1977:
Greetings!

I recently bought Motorola G5s Plus phone with

stock rom

(with all the stock updates and latest stock google play store version installed). I set up it as new.

While all work fine, i can not download (or update) anything from Google Play Store (GPS). The strange is that:

1) I can download apps from GPS from my mobile data without any problem

2) I can also download apps from GPS from a tethering device (eg an other phone)

My only problem is that when i try to download (through wifi) from GPS it is stuck on downloading and nothing happens.

Aby idea what could be wrong?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jrinco11:
hey ya'll, so for the longest time when I would plug the tilt into the wall charger, the screen would NOT turn on (it would not wake up) - however, suddenly, now it does...

I've tried going through all the settings, but I can't seem to figure out how to get it to not wake up when plugged in (wall charger) -- I know it will turn on when plugged into the computer, that's fine -- any help, as always, would be greatly appreciated

thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] elypsar:
Well I'm not sure how to stop it from waking when you plug it in, but you can always tell it to go right back into stand-by.

Check out the settings in Start > Settings > System [tab] > Power > Advanced [tab]

You can tell it to "Turn off device if not used for" X amount of time while "On external power".

Not a fix but I hope it helps.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gavink:
It's a strange thing. I have both a wall charger and a desktop cradle/charger.

When I plug my Tilt into the desktop cradle (without the usb cable connected to the pc), it turns on. But, when I use the wall charger, it doesn't.

This is very consistant. Maybe the pinout is different between the connectors, or the output voltage is different.

It's just something I've gotten used to and can live with.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] replay37:
The Tilt will not wake if you use the wall charger that came with the Tilt. It will wake if you use other types of usb charger
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] redbandana:
I've noticed that myself and I think it is extremely odd but intelligent.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pinetreehater:
If your cradle is connected to a PC via USB then it will wake. My Tilt never wakes when I simply plug into the charger, but dropping it into my cradle wakes the PPC and the PC (if it happens to be asleep).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MikeChannon:
It wakes because there is a sync notification that tells it to on detection of a USB ie. repllog.exe is by default set to run when this key is present "AppRunAtRs232Detect"

Now you can remove this repllog entry, but it means you would have to run repllog manually every time you want to sync.

The following was written for the purpose of replacing repllog entries deleted by mistake. However it will give you some info on what happens when you connect certain Rs232 USB connectors.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dalavar:
I am using the supplied wall charger that came with the phone and the screen powers on when I plug it in. It used to not do this at one point. I believe some thrid party software I installed is causing this. Also the screen with turn on once the charge is complete. Very annoying at night. I don't want to use the on external power settings to blank the screen after x minutes because this messes with using the GPS function while in my car. I want to see the screen while using GPS and plugged into a power source.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kilrah:
It shouldn't, all GPS programs I've tried force backlight on regardless on the system settings while they're running. Which one are you using?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dalavar:
I'm using iGuidance 3.1.

I had to do a hard reset due to an app I installed making my phone go all wonky. After the hard reset and re-installing all my programs I no longer have this problem of the phone waking on external power.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] scharnet:
My original Tilt used to do the same thing - screen turned on when plugging into the HTC supplied power cord (even after a H/R with no programs). Eventually, the phone had to be replaced after one day it had a red light after charging a few hours and wouldn't turn on (it had been around 50% when plugged in). My refurbished Tilt mostly does not power on when plugged into the wall charger. Once in a blue moon, it will. It is random enough, I haven't been able to see a common factor as to why.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dani31:
Any settings to disable wake on USB to computer connection?

A lot of times I plug my Kaiser to PC just to charge it, and I hate to see it connecting every time.

Many thanks!!!

update "SpecialEdition R v1.0" for android 11 (R), you have to update synergy to the latest version, the procedure is always the same, attention after installing the theme some icons may not be theme because they are adaptive, in this case switch to light / night mode and they will be ok,

as always it is recommended to use the theme in night mode.
