Either way, I will backup the original abl_a and abl_b before flashing. It is really scary to brick a phone.

Thanks for your help again!!!!
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] hkguy80:
The first method is not worked me as I cannot boot into fastboot or bootloader. I cannot flash the twrp in via bootloader or fastboot.

The 2nd method also not working. After i issued the command , it stated:

" Sending 'vbmeta_a' (4 KB) FAILED (Write to device failed (Invalid argument)) "

Should I downgrade the Android to Pie or Oreo. Then, try to unlock the bootloader and root again?

Since the seller already unlocked bootloader on my phone, can I backup the unlock.bin from QFIL before downgrading to avoid requesting unlock bootloader from LG again?

Thanks!
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
okay, because you don't yet have twrp, when I said flash v35 eng abl, I meant exactly as you've done it already, with qfil. It's the only option you have that will work.

as i said, read the directions that comes with vbmeta folder. It states the command specifically. It's important.

don't downgrade anything. Once the bootloader is unlocked, it won't 'relock', not possible. And no, there is no 'unlock.bin' for these phones, so nothing to back-up.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] hkguy80:
After I flashed the v35 eng abl and reboot the phone with pressing vol - button, the phone entered the fastboot mode. Then, I copy and paste your command. The following result appeared.

Is there anything I miss?
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
did u put in all those ?'s ? or does fastboot not recognize the device? I have no way to know.

try this do 'fastboot getvar all' and if u get good output, then the driver is working, if not, it's a driver problem.

also, when you use that command, the part 'blank_vbmenta.img' should include the path to where the image is! If it's in the 'current directory' on your pc, then it will find it, but if it's in some other directory, you have to indicate that in the command.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] hkguy80:
Can you advice which driver i should used with the v35 eng abl fastboot?
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
you need the lg usb drivers for (whatever) OS you're using, probably windows?

there isn't a specific driver for the v35 eng abl, there is a driver for lg phones for usb connections, to enable fastboot and adb.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] hkguy80:
Hi,

Since I am still not able to flash file in fast boot, I try search the reason for that from Internet. Then, I found that someone on Internet said that the fastboot of v409n is read only. He suggest to flash the v409N to android 10 30f first.

Then flash the boot-twrp-30f_a.img that you provided to boot_a via QFIL and then install "Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip" via TWRP.

And then root the v409N via Magisk.

Then, I should able to copy the open_US to oem folder.

Do you think this is an possible way to replace the OPEN_KR?

Thanks a lot.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
So need to make sure a few things are clear:

1) there are 2 ways to get fastboot on your device: 1) nuking the laf partition does give a watered down v409 version of fastboot but it's a very weak version. 2) using the v35 eng abl (which is what I thought you were doing), It's the full fastboot version but it won't 'boot' anything because it's Pie, and can only 'boot' Pie partitions.

2) on your device, no matters which fastboot version you use, you'll still need to get windows to recognize the device in fastboot mode, so you still need that driver.

3) Yes, you most definitely would want to flash the boot+twrp using qfil. Then, immediately use the button combo and go to recovery. Once in recovery, format (not wipe) data, then reboot recovery. Then flash magisk and then dm-verity.

4) then, and this is where you need the engineering abl to work, so you have full fastboot, you need to follow the instructions here and flash blank vbmeta. If you don't do this part any changes (like OP folder) won't work.

good luck
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] hkguy80:
Hi,

I just fix the driver issue and able to flash the vbmeta in fastboot mode. However, after i flash the original abl_a in QFIL, the v409n keep booting to the fastboot mode instead of booting to android.

Is there anything I should do to make the phone boot to andorid again?

With the original abl_a, i can enter to download mode.

Should i re-flash the phone to latest firmware 30f or 20n and try the whole process again .

Thanks a lot!
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
You have the abla and the laf a mixed up. The laf a controls download mode. Abl is for booting the device. Also, you are possibly on the wrong slot. Check which is active. Cheers
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
if you are able to get to fastboot, which you say you are, then try this:

fastboot getvar all

towards the bottom of that output you'll see 'active slot', that will tell you which slot is booting currently. Try the fastboot command to change slots:

fastboot --set-active=(a or b - which ever one is not current)

then do 'fastboot reboot'.

It *sounds* like you're on the wrong slot, because if the eng_abl is flashed to the abl slot, it won't boot, only go straight to fastboot.

cheers

Hi,

I try to install the TWRP before I flash the blank vbmeta. After I flash the v35 eng to abl_a, I can enter to fastboot.

Then, I use the following command to flash the twrp to boot_a

>fastboot flash boot_a boot-twrp-30f_a.img

Then, I Enter TWRP recovery from fastboot directly.

I can enter the Twrp and format the data.

However, after I reboot to android, I won't able to enter the TWRP again.

I only can enter the original "Factory Data Reset". Is there any steps I missed?

Do I need to do the following tasks to enable the TWRP permanently?

Copy TWRP-judypn-boot.img to the phone

After I format the data in TWRP.

Go to Advanced -> Install Recovery Ramdisk

Select the TWRP image which you copied to your phone/sdcard earlier

I did not do the above steps before.

Is this the reason why I only can enter TWRP one time?

Thanks!!!
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
It sounds like twrp is installed, but maybe the 'factory data reset' screen is confusing you. When you see the 'factory data reset', you select yes, as though you were going to reset it, but instead of resetting, it will take you to twrp. (aslo do the vbmeta while you have fastboot still on though).

keep in mind, the v35eng abl has to be replaced with the original abl, for the device to boot, on that slot. I'm assuming you're doing this.

also, after formatting data and rebooting recovery, flash magisk and dm_verity. Then you should be all set.

cheers

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Croyce:
Hey everyone,

so here's my situation:

I unlocked the bootloader for my G6

I activated USB debugging and OEM unlock in developer options

I then flashed TWRP 3.4.0-1

Now the phone is stuck on the boot screen, when I hard reset (power button + volume down, then pressing power button again when G6 logo appears, then selecting "factory reset" and "yes" twice) the phone does not boot into TWRP but instead goes to the boot logo again and nothing happens. I tried leaving it for a while and it stayed like this until the battery ran out. When I plug it in, it starts the same procedure immediately. When I connect it to my pc, I cannot manage to flash anything because I can't boot into bootloader because the phone is not detected (my pc doesn't play the usb plug-in/unplug sound).

So my question really is: Did I kill my G6 since I am unable to flash anything or is there still an option to get bootloader running again? And yes, I did try the unbrick method under https://xdaforums.com/lg-g6/how-to/lg-g6-unbrick-method-t3935924 but I get stuck at the point where you need to click "download" because my phone is not detected. I also heard about the method of shorting the pins beneath the flash but I don't know how to do that...

Any help is appreciated.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] BoubiThePou:
Hi,

I had the same problem and finally solved it by using the release of TWRP found here : https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-twrp-3-1-x-stable-official.3627595/

After flashing TWRP I followed those restarting steps :

Hold vol down + power for 10 seconds and your phone will power off.

Hold vol down + power / release power when the LG logo appears and then immediately hold power until the Factory Menu start

Menu select Yes

Confirm Yes

TWRP boots

Hope this will help

Can anybody recommend a working app to change to power to the CPU on the LOS 17.1 ROM (rooted with magisk)? I would like to be able to squeeze out some more battery life, but all the apps I used to use years ago don't seem to want to load, or if they do load, they don't do anything when changing settings.

And is there a better kernel to flash which does support under clocking if the current one is just incompatible?

I think the stock kernel doesn't let you underclock, there is a custom kernel called firekernel, but idk if it has underclocking, but it has great battery life and more governors.

Hi guys,

My battery is dies quickly if my connection is on. Is there any cab files created that allow connections to automatically be switch off after say 1min, 5mins etc? I do use push mail so would like it to come on and go off ...

Cheers in advance ...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Sergio PC:
No, you either have it on or off. If you want to kill it do this:

Disable Auto Attach GPRS with Schaps Advanced Config

Luck!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] MJNewton:
Yes, or at least DiamondTweaks purports to be able to disconnect data connections after x minutes (persumably of non-use). Note the caveat about it potentially not working in some programs and also disconnecting simultaneous voice calls at the same time so you would be wise to experiment with it first!

If you give it a try do let us know how you get on.

Mathew
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ns73:
Theres the auto attach function which you can disable in Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool which means data connections will only be seeked when you go to use an application that makes a data request.

There is also an AUTO OFF option to auto disconnect the session after specified number of idle minutes....Not had any issues on 1.93.405.1 image with regard to call drops etc. Mine is set to 5 minutes disconnect.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] MJNewton:
Do you know if it is possible to detach (not just disconnect) again from GPRS following a connection that's no longer required? The auto-attach setting is all well and good but once you've used it and disconnected you remain attached (until you soft-reset of course).

The main advantage of this update is that your device now automatically boots into the updated slot when flashing a ROM.

Another thing is that you can use magiskboot via command line. That's the reason why TWRP doesn't need a installer.zip that gets flashed. You only need the twrp.img to install the ramdisk directly.

[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] BJozi:
I'm interested in this phone and wondering what custom ROM support may be like for the device? I had a quick look at the pixel 4 and it's not massively supported but I don't really know how recent or popular it is?

I'm currently using a Xiaomi mi9t with pixel experience+. I know the p4a will be similar if not the same minus the additional features added in the pe+ version, which I quite like tbh.

I know it's early days and probably most can't even get their hands on the phone yet but curious what you might expect based on previous pixel devices?
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] PhobiaSoft:
I would also be interested in this. The 4a's "stock" Android is fine, but there are very few customization options. For example, the setting to hide specific Satus Bar icons is available in Settings but greyed out and inaccessible. I would really love to install LineageOS on this device.

As for popularity, the Pixel 4 was expensive and had poor battery life, so I don't think it had many adopters. The 4a on the otherhand is a steal at $350 and in a post-COVID world, I can see many people who need a new device going for the budget option. I really hope this helps us build a large development community :)
