Information

Since the method was already in the public domain, I wrote the instructions as the source ( not my original work )

The method is suitable for any bootloader.

Everything is done at your own risk.

What do you need

QFIL - Google search and download

Hex Editor - Online or whatever

FTM - fileftm.img (of your own handset showing blank SN)

QFIL loader - fileprog_ufs_firehose_Sdm845_lge ( google search and download )

Find out your SN on the mobile box or invoice (that you have to restore from below steps )

Steps

Put your phone into 9008 mode

Open QFIL from the installed QPTS package.

The phone must be connected to the PC with the installed drivers, the program should display "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM x)"

Go to configuration - FireHose configutation. Check the Read Serial Number and Reset After Download checkbox, change Device Type to ufs. Save.

Select Flat Build, in the Programmer Path field, select the FireHose file.

Go to Tools - Partition Manager. At the request of the program, click OK. We wait until everything is loaded and a list appears.

We select the ftm item, right-click on it and in the window that appears, select Manage Partition Data - take backup (will edit this ftm image to restore SN)

open the ftm.img file in the Hex editor, find the value 00012000, and write your serial there (see photo)

View attachment 5050065

restore the edited ftm image from partition manager

Turn on the phone and check the serial :good:

I'd like to know the security this place gives you, imeipro.info, if you try to search for site policies, you'll never find them, just a simple F.A.Q.

I have a feeling that this is a service that reveals our imei for those who clone phones for the Black market. No Google service or reputable sites will ask you for imei, moreover, the police ask you for the imei to locate a phone as last measure.

I don't know if I've expressed myself well, but if anyone can tell if this is a fraud, it would be a big help. And

And please don't tell me that the service works and gives you what you ask for, since Facebook also gives you what you ask for, and you give facebook much more than you get from Facebook, you give your total privacy, your location, your shopping history, your card numbers, etc.

All your last few posts have been about privacy and how you have saved 1.6gb ram, i dont know to do what?

But dont you think you should be the last person to root your phone? You know what root does right?

Many high security workplace apps will never let you keep a rooted phone....

Thank you very much for the answer mate.

[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] manuhuelva:
I know that my latest posts talk about that 1.6gb ... but honestly, everyone is looking to root to improve the capabilities of their phones, be it debloat, theme support, native support through magisk modules for functions that are not present in stock, and make the phone faster in general.

I challenge you to try to put a rom aosp for this mobile, and that it does not sting your neck, thinking about the money you have paid for the phone camera that you do not use because aosp does not have native drivers. Without adding things like the DAC or the loss of 4g calls.

Within the possibilities that exist for this terminal, with the ability to exploit its performance, and how expensive it costs, the most profitable in terms of "worthit" is to stay in stock and debloat it to the maximum, so as not to lose functions, and not be spied on, cheated on, and lagged by junk applications and services.

I am realistic, the only thing I am looking for is to make people who are new to this forum understand that this terminal only has 2 options:

-AOSP with quite reduced functionality and hardly any qualcomm-lg framework support (for that I buy a Pixel or a Mi 8, phones that have too much framework support on aosp) but too much overallspeed.

-Stock with custom kernel, debloat and some other things, having all the wonders that this phone offers, which are not few, and the same overall speed as aosp.

I hope I have resolved your doubts about my post.

PD: Not everyone needs stay DRM-approved or be rootless for applications that require have no modifications for work or connect to loggin services, keeping in mind that for "work/corporative applications" that require Locked Bootloader, I would use a separate terminal, or use magisk hide or any root masker. A high-end phone is supposedly picked to get all the juice out of it. For working stuff there are already companies that provide you with a terminal without modifications, or u can buy mid-range or low-end phones, which give you the fix for the work apps and corporation apps.

PD2: The security that magisk gives you of not being able to be exploited, is much greater than a root from /system.

Also, phones like this one, boot A / B, have a thing called DM-verity and Force-Encrypt, which ensure that the /system partitions and the other more dangerous ones are not modified, but magisk do this overlapping the code on the ramdisk and boot, making impossible install any apk in /system, /system-priv, /vendor.....

Also, if you touched something of /system, the next reboot would revert the changes, since it is a very strong security measure, so a virus cant do damage by scaling permissions or like, u only have to uninstall the app/module/zip and uninstall magisk, flash original boot.img on boot_a and boot_b, and the virus will go out ur phone, because u was systemless root/modded/exploited.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] lefttobleed:
I agree with all that you said. Thats the very reason i am here too.

But you questioned the OP about security and keep talking about privacy but your phone is rooted and unlocked, so hows that secure? Yes you can use another phone for security, but the way you are preaching in all your posts to stay away from google, facebook etc is like you want us all to have your setup only, with 1.6gb free ram and no google or facebook to spy on us. All of us have our own preferences and requirements from a phone. Most of us know how intrusive google, facebook etc are, but still might have them in their phones.

FYI whatever you do in modern smartphones, they still can intrude. You will have to go back to the brick phones to save yourself from the system :)
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] manuhuelva:
I totally agree with you, I can not pretend that everyone uses my configuration, perhaps I have sinned a little to believe that I know everything :o . But even so, what is real, is the performance that is achieved by removing apps and services that are in the background, although technically it will not free you from being spied, if it is going to remove queued processes from the processor, which is translates into less delay for other applications, and being able to play AAA games and have other apps open, without being abruptly closed by the native task manager.

I apologize if I have offended you at any time.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] lefttobleed:
No not at all. Please dont apologize. I just was going through many threads and kept seeing your posts. Also saw that you yourself lost your S/N, so was a bit startled on seeing your question to the OP.

But end of the day what you have done to the rom in your phone is quite good. Just saw your older posts in LG forums. Nice.

I am more of an AOSP roms guy with a good overclocked kernel and audio mods. But right now there is no fully stable rom out there, so am on stock android 10 beta. So far doing well.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] manuhuelva:
Regarding the loss of the s / n, it is wrong, it was there. I extracted the ftm.img partition and saw that it was present, which indicates that the S / N does not appear because of removing the LG-DRM.apk or something like that, it does not appear, but it is present in the Qualcomm-ftm partition .img

Anyway, it is somewhat unnecessary and I have sent myself an email with the S / n to keep it, you never know if you may need it.

And thanks for your words, I have no intention of knocking anyone down, or the work done by anyone for this community, but there are times when I am not able to explain myself well, and I sound a little know-it-all, when I really am an amateur more No computer training, only knowledge of being 14 years behind a PC learning by myself.

By the way, I am one of yours too, I prefer AOSP a thousand times than stock, but we are not lucky to be like the Google Pixel with hardware support :(

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] mashdk:
Hello,

I am completely new to changing firmware using Odin, and I want to make sure, that I don't brick my phone ;)

I have bought a S20 Ultra 512GB 5GB DS (Exynos), but it seems to be a German firmware, as it comes with Deutche Telekom apps preinstalled, two of which can't be uninstalled, and Samsung Members speak German instead of Danish.

My biggest issue, though, is that the latest OTA security update is May 1st.

Base band version: G988BXXU2ATE3

SAOMC_SM-G988B_OXM_DTM_QQ_0006

I found this: (can't post links on XDA yet):

samfw -> firmware- > SM-G988B -> NEE -> G988BXXU2ATF5

Which is for the scandinavian countries. (Nordic)

Changelist	18862671

Build date	Mon, 08 Jun 2020 06:59:35 +0000

Security Patch Level	2020-06-01

Product code	NEE

PDA	G988BXXU2ATF5

CSC	G988BOXM2ATF5

The questions:

Can I apply that to my phone, or will it brick the phone?

Will it get regular OTA updates for the nordic variant afterwards?

How much user data will be retained after firmware update?

Thank you so much for your assistance to a complete newbie :)

Hi again,

Sorry to be of bother...

I succesfully switched the CSC of the OXM firmware from DTM to NEE.

Now Service Provider Software Version is: SAOMC_SM-G988B_OXM_NEE_QQ0009

NEE/NEE,NEE/EUX/DTM

I know for sure, that the NEE models (though 128GB version) has received the One UI 3/Android 11 update.

But it is not offered as an OTA update to me.

I have rebooted twice, but still no OTA update.

I'm still stuck at an update from September/October.

Is it because mine is a 512GB version of S20 Ultra, while the rest of the NEE versions are 128GB?

Or is it because it still reads DTM at the end of ...NEE/EUX/DTM?

Sometimes, when I wake up the phone, some ghost touches occur and those touches slide down from the right corner and back into the corner. this event repeats continuously and quickly. I turn the screen off and on again, everything is fine.

Sometimes a ghost touch occurs in the right corner, so I can't control the phone. I turn the screen off and on again, everything is fine.

This problem started after upgrading miui 12 globe rom from miui 11 globe rom using TWRP. Actualy i dont know the exact time.

I tried evolution rom but the result is the same. I tried the build.prop codes (touchcalibration, touchsize, touchpressure ...) but no progress.

If this is a hardware problem, why is it temporarily resolved when we turn the screen off and on. hardware problem should always be ghost touches.

Any solution?

I have the exact same issue using Masik 14.0 but honestly it's not that annoying so far.
[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite Questions & Answers] BITOx:
I've been having the same issue, I believe.

At first I just rebooted the phone and everything was good. But now it's happening more often and I simply lock and unlock the device and most of the times the problem stops.

I have the "MIUI Global 11.0.3.1" and haven't flashed anything so far, so I guess that's not why it is happening to you.

I've read somewhere on the internet that it would help to disable "MIUI Optimization" on the Developer settings. I've disable it today, but the issue already happened afterwards, so it doesn't look like a solution.

If anyone has further information on how to solve this, I'd like to hear it. It's not a big problem, but starts to be annoying, especially when you're writing or trying to do some important task.

Hi!

Recently i bought a new phone, and i wanted to factory reset my old mi note 2 and flash new Rom on it. I downloaded last pixel experience and installed it via TWRP, but i had to do sth wrong, because since then it randomly shuts down or restarts. Whats interesting is that it happens only when phone is locked and nobody uses it. I tried to flash miui ( TWRP and miflash) but it didnt help. I suppose that i May have done sth wrong because my sensors were also not responding and i had to install persist.img to make them work. Does anyone know what can i do with that problem?

Hi,

I'm trying to explain what happened: on my rooted z2 plus there is AEX rom v.7.3, some days ago my 6yo son changed the sequence used to unlock the phone, but he can't remember it. So I've connected the phone to the pc and through sqlite3 I've disabled the lockscreen updating some values into the file locksettings.db so I can at least access the phone. The problem is that now I can't set any security setting anymore. If I restore the old values into that db, the old sequence shows up but no one knows it... Now I'm asking, is there any way to REMOVE the old sequence without re-flashing the AEX rom?

Thanks in advance.
