[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Questions & Answers] Chewei8152:
Hello!

Unfortunately my 9 SE (6GB RAM, 64GB ROM, bought from e-tec.at) got stuck in the boot loop yesterday afternoon.

About the phone: European version, has the latest updates on it, no custom Rom, USB debugging mode is unfortunately not set, no Mi backup, was not registered in the MI account).

The storage space was already quite full. The "MI deep cleaner" app was running and got stuck, a window is constantly popped up. Honestly, I can't say if I clicked and just deleted an app by accident. I heard that it can also be a problem if you simply delete certain apps. So I wanted to restart the phone and it has been in the boot loop ever since. Actually I don't no the real reason it was lagging.

I get into Recovery Mode 3.0 and Fastboot. But I really want to have the photos on my cell phone again, so I dont want to swipe all data. The cell phone is recognized via the PC, but cannot access via the Xiaomi PC Suite (which should be out of date?).

I still have a guarantee for my cell phone. What if I would send it to Xiaomi support, would theyy try to save the data or simply reset everything to factory settings? Who has an idea how I can solve the boot loop problem?

Should I take the cell phone off the power until the battery runs out? It is reboots all the time.

best regards, thank you for your help in advance!!

[MENTION=10969203]Chewei8152[/MENTION]: try to get /sdcard of the phone visible in file explorer of pc during recovery or fastboot mode. Then copy your files to pc. Sorry, but there's only a very little chance. (Assuming stock recovery and USB access off.)

Xiaomi repair service will advice a factory reset first and, if they accept your delivery, surely not save any data before.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Questions & Answers] Chewei8152:
Thank you for your reply! How do I manage to get the sccard visible?

Do you think that is possible to flash the phone from EDL mode without clear the data (from someone who can do this for me)?

Cheers and many thanks!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Questions & Answers] rp158:
Simply connect with PC and hope that the folder /sdcard and is shown in PC file manager.

Sorry, no idea.

Whenever you start our device (X00ID) and you have unlocked the boot loader, you get a pop up during the boot warning you that your device is not secure and you have to wait 5 seconds or press the power button to skip it. I'm wondering if there is anyway to get rid of this?

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the firehose!

I just cut and pasted the whole guide into a txt file, which is linked below in case there's ever any purpose of looking at it again.

Hi have followed the guide and got stuck at step 7. I get only the LG V50Thinq powered by android screen and nothing more. It just stays like for the past 30 minutes. I have rebooted several times but the same. i cannot access (or do not know) download mode.

Any help!
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Marmalux:
So, if your on a korean version that wil be a q version of android vulnerable. Therefore at step 6, you will need a pie kdz to flash those 4 xbl files. Do not make my mistake, you will get bricked :)))
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] antintin:
Sorry I'm afraid I don't understand. That's step 4, and you don't need to flash the whole kdz. Only the partitions the guide says to.
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 9RR:
I think he's referring to how its a bit confusing how it says you should use android pie but also implies that you should use latest pre-march firmware, which for korean variant is actually android Q not pie so its little confusing which you should use, i could be wrong though, thanks alot for this guide though!
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] antintin:
If someone can't deal with the level of instruction I provided here, I would very much advise against attempting it as it is inherently very risky. Probably not what anyone wants to here, but it is what it is
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] CaptainElwood:
This is great news. Has anyone Tested using a LOS GSI or AOSP GSI? I am on verizon and have found with another phone that all GSIs on android version 9 and 10 have "No Sim Card" errors and you can not make calls or send texts (strangely you can receive both). This error wasn't seen with other network versions of the phone (palm phone). I am a little hesitant to go through this process to find out if data doesn't work on LOS 17 or AOSP 10. If anyone on verizon tries this out, please report back on how well the GSIs work, or if you find a specific ROM that works on Verizon.
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] antintin:
I've used a lot of gsis like bless and caos (use those instead of aosp definitely). I haven't had any data issues
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] antintin:
But I have a sprint model. I'm pretty sure Verizon people have tried it with no issues already though
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Marmalux:
Hi, thank you very much for this tutorial.

It was my mistake and got a permanent brick. It is true that the vulnerable firmware for kor is android Q and i have achieved root after downgrading to a older Q version. My problem was at step 4 because i used the q kdz and i did not download a separate pie kdz for that step.

Now i hope no one else will make my mistake since i really do not see how to get DL mode active or to switch slots without the USB. Only thing i got is the image that precedes the DL mode and the IMEI display. And since the USB is basically dead i think firehose (even if i had it) would not recover my phone.

I have flashed and unlock many phones and this is my first unrecoverable brick. My first LG though and probably the last.
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] antintin:
I'm very sorry to hear that, but the firehose could almost definitely help you unbrick. I tried to clarify more that it has to be a pie kdz now, because before I just wrote "load your pie kdz" and you probably missed that. There should still be a warranty though, so you could try to use that if you'd like. It might say that yours expired on the website, but you can just click past it.
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Marmalux:
Thank you antintin for your reply. You bring me some hope. The warranty will not apply because it is stated clearly that any attempt to BL unlock will void it (I got it from a shop in Spain via Ebay).

But the firehose on the other hand.... When do you think it will be available? And how will i ba able to get it?

Thank you very much!
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] antintin:
Other people who bricked while different bl unlock methods were tested sent it in for warranty with no issues. The firehose will be available in November at the earliest probably. Proof of purchase from eBay should be enough, but I don't if there's any lg repair centers in Spain that support phones.
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Marmalux:
In Spain there are several. But i`m in Ireland, and here is none :)))
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 9RR:
Successfully rooted korean variant, thanks for the guide! I was wondering if its okay now to update to newest firmware via LGUP upgrade mode? (I really want the system wide accent color customization in newest firmware, among other things) I assume it should be but i really don't wanna have to redo all this so id rather just ask, thanks in advance!
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] antintin:
Yeah, you'll just have to get another patched boot IMG. I recommend nuking your laf on the slot without fastboot, so you can access fastboot on that slot without having to switch to engineering fastboot. Then you can use partition dl in lgup and flash all the partitions (only for your active slot though) except for laf.

Hey, what does this mean by Open US? A US Cellular branded G8?
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] antintin:
No, a non cellular branded lol
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TPMJB:
Aw crap, I picked up a US Cellular G8 for $130. I think it's still the LM-G820UM, which this guide mentions though.

I guess I'll find out when I get it. I know with the LG V30, the US998 was the "open" version which is the US Cellular model.
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] antintin:
If you can find a kdz for it, you're fine. But there's a lot of g820um models, and there isn't one single kdz that works for all.
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] themostunique:
Thanks Antintin for the guide. Although it is unfortunate that I bricked my Korean V50 like Marmalux, I guess I would just wait for the firehose to be available as I also bought from eBay but there is no service center in my country. Meanwhile I have bought another V50 to utilize my dual screen.
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] antintin:
What step did you brick on
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] themostunique:
I bricked in step 6, because I used the full Android 10 kdz in step 4 instead of Pie in step 4. I guess I would have to wait for the firehose to be available. Thank you asking anyways.
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nightmare1zero1:
I'm having some trouble rooting my phone. Everything went okay up through unlocking the bootloader but at step 9 trying to flash metaphysics kernel caused lmg820tm to get stuck on a "decryption unsuccessful" screen. I was able to get the phone working again by flashing stock boot_a, but now, flashing anything other than that causes it to hang on a t-mobile logo when starting. Flashing either a patched boot_a img or metaphysics img both cause the phone to hang at the logo until I flash stock boot_a again.

Any suggestions what I could try?
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] antintin:
Not sure, join the telegram please
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] antintin:
To help make the instructions less confusing, I'm going to edit the guide so that everyone will end up temp rooting on slot a and flashing the engineering abl on slot b

My phone bricked after flashing the IMGs to those partitions and now I can no longer boot or access download mode
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TPMJB:
My phone bricked after switching active slots. Something weird happened where the engineering bootloader was not flashed and now it just freezes on the LG screen. Download mode also broken. The first iteration of this guide was waayyyyy different than the current iteration.

I assume for people like us we need to wait for firehose?
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] antintin:
It was different, but the first one should still have worked without any issues. Any tiny mistake can cause it to not work. Maybe flashing it more than 5x is a good idea. For people that are already bricked, they can only try to get to fastboot or the other slot. Sometimes, boot looping a certain number of times will switch you, so you could just try to hold down vol- and power for like 10 min
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TPMJB:
I've heard about the bootlooping a certain amount of times allowing me to start from scratch. I'll try it when I have more time. This phone I picked up for $130 on eBay, so it's just something to play with. Curiously this was supposed to be a "US Cellular locked" phone, but temp root and everything else seemed okay.

Pretty sure US Cellular doesn't lock phones. Dunno.
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Synkopa:
In my LG V50 the amoled display was unexpectedly damaged as a result of mounting it on the console on the bicycle handlebar, the digitizer works without problems. It is rare to damage the LCD without damaging the digitizer. I think the weight of the battery stuck to the display is to blame. How does this relate to the MIL-STD-810G certification? Now I am waiting for a new display from China, but it gave me more time to calmly replace the firmware. And here is the fundamental question: will I be able to undergo the procedure without visible effects on the LCD? Most of the commands and responses will be visible in ADB. Do I need to select options on the screen? Or maybe there is some LCD emulator on the PC screen? Is it possible?
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] antintin:
Well, you need to use the screen to unlock phone of course, to grant your computer adb permission, and that should be it. I might be missing something though
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Synkopa:
Unlocking the phone is not a problem, I can do it without any problems via a fingerprint reader or even a cnock code. I also have computer authorization because I have successfully connected via ADB before. The problem is that I turned off usb debugging on my smartphone for the weekend and now there is a problem to turn it on. I searched for this option in LGUP Phonesetting, but it's not there. Maybe there is some other way to enable usb debugging? Today the display came alive for a while and I was able to enable USB debugging. Maybe I'll cross flashing soon ...
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TPMJB:
Bootlooping has not worked for me. I think my G8 is boned.

I haven't done the update as im not that much of an expert on android stuff, so while i could root it and do the process for the root i didn't wanna risk updating and messing up something without full understanding orr actual proper instructions.

Hi friends! i bought a v50 from korea, operator KT

Phone its in android 9 and fw from May 2019 V500N10w

It doesnt find any ota updates...how can i update my phone to latest version? i dont like to root phone only gets last version and ota updates, thanks!!

I tried to install android 10 through LG UP and the process was correct but when restarting the cell phone it did not pass the KT logo, so I tried to return to android 9 but with the open lg last firmware and I was able to install and run it, but i cant get ota updates....and android 10

Finally investigating my v50 is IMPL 0, it means unlock by changed cpu or refurbished,its stucked in android 9 and cant get otas and lgup cant flash kdz of android 10( it stucks on carrier logo) and have to downgrade to android 9,thera any chance to update or get a normal phone or return phone to the seller??thanks!!

In the group of telegram told me i dont have frp partition so i have to reload it with qfil....any tutorial or similar to read??
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] damadikaz:
So sorry I am new to GSI thingy. I've read about GSIs but my previous device doesn't support it, so I don't really pay attention that much.

So, Can I ran GSI on my BL unlocked G8?

GSI images only flashes the the /system partition, doesn't it?

I doubt LG G8 specific features like hand gesture won't work, but any other features like face unlocking with ToF camera, earphone (that speaker for calls), all 3 cameras work?

EDIT: I attempted to BL unlock my G8 (It's G820N - KTF model),

At the step two where I should flash latest pie firmware (G820N10m_00_KT_KR_OP_0712) I got that red screen warning on LG phone when you unlocked your boot loader (but I haven't yet), I thought it was corrupted KDZ, so I download it again, partition DL it into slot b, same thing happened. but as my slot A is intact I can go back to slot A with method mentioned in step 5. at this point I was wondering whether I can boot slot b at all, so I flashed initial Q (G820N20j_00_KT_KR_OP_0212) to slot b just to test it out, I still got the same result. since I can't boot into slot b, I am hesitant to mess with my working slot (which is a). shouldn't I have working slot b (pie) at the step 2? what did I do wrong?
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheLoonyRebel:
I'm in the same boat with my G8 as well. Stuck on the logo screen. Can't switch to slot B. Download mode is screwed up. I do get LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (COM4) when I plug my G8 in to my desktop while it's stuck on the LG boot screen. No idea if that can be used towards an potential fix?
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cloud.Envy:
Softbricked?

I have followed the guide up until the flashing portion, where I flashed the pie KDZ and 10 KDZ into the appropriate slots. After flashing the 10 KDZ, I got a red warning saying that my "device has failed a routine security check." I was still able to access download mode, so I flashed the latest KDZ for my variant (VZW). I am now stuck in some kind of fastboot menu. I still have access to download mode. It keeps looping back to the fastboot menu when I use the start or restart option. I tried going into the fastboot mode, but it just went to a screen saying "no command".

Edit: LG Bridge is unable to connect when in download mode

Edit: I downloaded another, slightly older, KDZ and flashed that to slot A. It's booted properly. I think it's safe to say I won't be trying that again. I've had an ongoing heart-attack for about three hours now, probably aged a couple years.
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TPMJB:
Yeah I've given up a long time ago. I'm back on the V30. it does what I need it to
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Synkopa:
Swapped V500N for V500EM and unlocked the bootloader. I loaded the V500N bootloader and tried to load the open korea firmware. However, this was still not possible with LGUP. There is still an IMPL blockage. I know the Korean firmware and consider it better refined than the EU. The radio fm also works and call recording too. How to replace the firmware with Korean? After all, I have the bootloader unlocked.

I see that people are having mixed opinions when it comes to Overclocking the display on k20 pro. So can we have some feedback by people who used it for Decent - Long term, just enough so we can have a clear idea of whether it is safe to daily drive Overclocked display mod or not.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] hrdlw:
If you carry about ur phone, dont oc. I've heard that screen cables [if i can call it like that(probably not)]

are so small that from overclocking they can just be damaged. I would rather overclock an actual clock(wtf)

And the fact that when i wanted to overclock my pc monitor from 75hz i was able to overclock it to only 81hz... Yes i've tested the 82hz but monitor just couldnt handle it. So imagine how it would be on ur mobile.

And if u wanna just slightly oc ur display,

First u wont see any difference at all

And second ur display will start to suffer a bit.

(I would recommend oc sreen if u wanna buy a new phone lel)

Edit: i think i didnt read the topic carefully so....

Ur screen can even die
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] Nick_101d:
Yeah I have a similar insight but I find 75hz way more bare-able to my eyes. I spend a lot of time on my computer and my monitor is 240 hz so almost all screens disappoint me. Though I find 75 hz a lot more better than 60. Have you tried the mod for a significant amount of time? On the phone?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] LuanHalaiko:
The main issue is the AMOLED display, i've seen LCD's getting retention marks after a long time using overclocking, but amoleds have the risk of burn-in and I would never recommend messing with this if you want to use your device for more than 1 year, I bet it would get burn-in marks in some weeks after using 75hz or above. It's best to stay safe and take care of your device in my opinion, but that it's up to you.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] Nick_101d:
I didn't know burn-in issues had anything to do with the refresh rate. Maybe I need to learn more about why that happens. Other than the burn-in issues you think OC to 75 will harm in some other way?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] Menoobone:
I have been running the phone at 75hz since the start and I bought the phone in May 2019. I have yet to see any flickering, tinting or artefacts. I would say there is a risk but give the fact that over hundreds to thousands of users overclock their display on the 9t pro and have yet to report a permanent issue, it is rather safe since the voltage and current is not altered. Then again, millions of users overclock their computer monitor for decades and have yet to see any irreversible effect.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] Nick_101d:
Thank you! That's what I was looking for! Can you link me to the mod thread that you use?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] Nick_101d:
Actually can you help me even more? I am on evo X and I flashed the module without reading the instructions. I headed to https://xdaforums.com/k20-pro/themes/magisk-modules-k20pro-mi9t-pro-one-t4093255 so I missed on the instructions and I dont have my stock dtbo! Can you send your dtbo or help me get it back someway??
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] Menoobone:
You have to help yourself for that. Different firmware, kernels, and even the different versions require different DTBO. There is no universal DTBO. AFAIK, Immensity and F1XY kernel blocks screen OC. Also, certain DTBO only works for certain type of fingerprint implementation, such as Mi9fod,Mi9fod advance,Losfod,MIUIFOD etc. Some works in terms of OC but will screw up your fingerprint, while others have the fingerprint working but OC not working. You also have to take note of the DC implementation.

Again, you have to help yourself and do some research. I would suggest you start with the standard 75hz_nodimming version and older versions of Immensity kernel and try. Do note that flashing the wrong DTBO can render your device unbootable and it might even cause the recovery to not boot.
