Im getting a boot loop. I wiped Dalvik/ART Cache, System, Data and Cache. I flashed magisk right after.

I then tried flashing 30c, which worked. Tried 30d again, without magisk, boot loop again.

This is with February 23rd, 2020, TWRP 3.3.1-2

If anyone has any suggestions to try, let me know.

Heloo there, I'm 에어 론 리 (AeronLi/Aeronliru/AeronLee), AiS/AiX ROMs Author and author of ported camera libs from newest LG devices.

Sorry guys, I have to login with my latest possibility to enter XDA and I know that I would have to be banned after that, cuz admins don't want to have a mercy to me even with all I do for v30 users. Well, it's sad.

What about this KDZ:

I downloaded KDZ wich was published ChazzMatt, so there's no error to false KDZ.

Well, what I found:

- KDZ and the system ofc has builded on Fri Aug 21 18:27:51 KST 2020, yes, it's newest KDZ for v30 I ever seen. AND THAT'S ALL. .

- Security patch in system is AUGUST 2019.

- GPU drivers are still very old:

Firmware was build on Fri Aug 21 18:27:51 KST 2020 but contain an old security patches, old GPU drivers - V@331.0 (GIT@26c925f, Ia74c9b5270) (Date:10/10/18) when normal WORKING GPU drivers (which works on PIE systems too) are V490!

- not fresh stuff. AT ALL!!!

And let's talk about your "I'll use Build.prop editor to fix date of security patch":

-the date of security patch MUST BE GIVEN IN THE RIGHT FORMAT, because if it will not fit to other firmware's digital fingerprint/watermarks device will not perform Google Security check and you'll get:

*device not certified by Google in Google Play Store

*device CTF profile fail

*device Basic Integrity fail

WARN! If you fix date AFTER first firmware boot you have possibility to not have that issues, but If you made changes and then made FACTORY RESET (wipe data) you'll have that issues in 146%.

And ofc, I must say that if you'll change date of security patch YOU WOULDNT get NEWEST Sec Patches!!! It's PLACEBO!

Well, I'm not asking you to believe/trust me, It's your own way to think that placebo helps you to have real new security.

You can ask Markus in that case - he can confirm most therms that I want to tell you.

As for LG, this company dig a grave to itself.

Main PIE firmware has been ported from newest device with TOF support and support to DUALScreen. I found these codes in main frameworks and even in all LG Apps connected to that (Settings, Phone call app, LG Cam, SystemUI etc.), and just disabled them by software method.

They cut some Oreo's possibilities and features and/or broke them in PIE firmware. They are: wide DAC formats, HEVC HFR support (support for HEVC-coded videos in high fps mode - over 60fps - 120/240fps), ANT+ support at all, and many other small functions.

So, mainly, I have to use own modded stock Pie instead of using original one. Cuz it's weird.

Thanks for reading me, and bye)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] jptV30:
V30 has built-in support for ANT+ on Oreo?

Yes, it has.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Descartesisafraud:
Wow what an informative post. Thank you for dropping in.

We thought LG just forgot to change the date in build prop, not whole security patch.

According to verizon website

https://www.verizon.com/support/lg-v30-update/#su15

But I guess they really just didn't include security patch?

That's why I got boot loops I guess, since date in build prop didn't match actual security patch level?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] JohnFawkes:
ill look into it sometime today and post a new build

---------- Post added at 02:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 PM ----------

no thats not why it bootloops. just because it says 2019 in the build prop doesnt mean its using the 2019 security update. im leaning more toward they just got lazy and forgot to update the build prop line to match. when i get some free time ill go back and look at my script to see if i messed something up during the build
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] 에어 론 리:
You're wrong. As I wrote before, Security patch date MUST BE EXACTLY THE SAME AS OFFICIAL TO FIT SAFETYNET CHECKUP. Otherwise it fails.

And in addition - why firmware contain an old stuff? Why it contain an old GPU drivers???

You, people, want to be cheated and you like it.

So I don't want to convince you.

You don't trust me, who made 4K@60fps HEVC on stock cam, ported v35/G7 vcamera libs to you, and made two best stock-based roms for v30.

So I go out.

Stay by yourself.

I'm out.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] drewcu:
Uhh John wasn't talking about Safetynet; he was referring to why the 30d TWRP zip bootlooped.

But yes, if you change the security patch date, Safetynet fails but the rom still boots up. I tried on 30c and can confirm this is the case.

But please be nice -- especially to John who is doing a lot of people a BIG favor -- thank you! :)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Yes, as you point out Verizon CLAIMS VS996 30d has August 2020 Security Patch.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] 에어 론 리:
And in real in KDZ we see: 2018' GPU drivers (v331), August' 2019 Security patch, and couple of an old stuff (LG apps etc).
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] drewcu:
Yes we believe you that the build prop security patch date is wrong. But given the entire purpose of this update is for updating the security patches, it would be very odd they released an update after an entire year without the security patches!

I just put in a call with Verizon tech support to have them look into this with LG and figure out if they did in fact put in the security patches but simply forgot to update the year (95% chance this is the case).

Bummer about the old GPU drivers, but security patches are of utmost importance to most people, I would guess, given the bad bugs Android patched recently.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] 에어 론 리:
Sorry, but I haven't wrote that sec patch date is wrong! It's right! But it's OLD!

It's security stuff related to LG. Verizon CAN'T just simply confuse dates - digital prints and dates of security patches are given to them by LG, which sends them to vendors of its phones. If they just messed up the dates, then the Google certification would stop working! It is impossible to register incorrect data and for everything to work fine! even by mistake!

This was done on purpose.

In addition, updating security patches entails updating all drivers in the system, including the graphics subsystem. there are problems and optimizations even in them and everything is interconnected!

I'm tired to explain simple things. This should be clear to a simple user as well.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheDannemand:
As I see it, AeronLi knows what he/she is talking about, and is sharing great information here. Clearly English isn't their native language, which may partly explain the tone of their posts. I can see past that.

AeronLi, there is no need to be defensive: I don't know what disagreements you and XDA had in the past, but as far as I can tell, everybody here appreciates the insight you are sharing. It's only when your posts become defensive or arrogant that you lose people. I really want to see you stick around and share your knowledge -- and get along with other devs and users here, including ones that don't have your deep insight.

Personally, I CAN believe that LG or Verizon posted an update where they forgot to include the intended security patch. Stranger things have occurred.

Has anybody checked the KDZ for changes to laf, abl, xbl, boot or other boot chain partitions? I am wondering if patching the CVE-2020-12753 bootloader vulnerability is the real reason for this update.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] drewcu:
Does the CVE-2020-12753 bootloader vulnerability have anything to do with how we were able to unlock our V30's bootloader?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheDannemand:
Not really, since that vulnerability was patched long time ago, back on Oreo 20c (I think). That's why we have to roll back to Oreo 20a or 20b to unlock the bootloader.

CVE-2020-12753 is a more recent vulnerability. See descriptions here and here. It requires someone to have the phone in hand, plugged into a computer.

The only risk I can see in LG patching CVE-2020-12753 is if it somehow prevents us from rolling back with LGUP. Given that this 30d update is still ARB0, I don't see how or why it would do that.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] JohnFawkes:
the zip size along with the imgs inside are different sizes than the 30c which means changes were made. i have not dug into those changes though. regardless without actually looking for changes in the source (which we don't have) you cant see 100% that the sec update is the same as 30c (30c was august 2019 btw). and it makes more sense to me at least since 30c was august 2019 sec update that they just forgot to fix the build prop. just my 2 cents

---------- Post added at 09:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 PM ----------

does anyone have the actual OTA? if you can get it i can extract that and compare it against the kdz

---------- Post added at 09:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 PM ----------

Just compared the 2 zips for 30c and 30d and only partition changes are in system and boot. Everything else is the same. system will be same size between the two zips because we resize the system img to be 6GBfor those users that do the /vendor mod
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheDannemand:
Thank you. Yeah, it really sounds like there isn't a newer security patch here. As in genuine Google security patch. So if this is labeled a "security update" that bootloader vuln would be a sensible explanation.

I don't have VS996 myself, so won't be getting the OTA. Definitely useful if somebody can capture it.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] JohnFawkes:
so im going to bebuild the zip but im not going to change the security update in build prop. After extracting the boot img, the security update is indeed still august 2019.

Tried 30c, worked.

Tried 30d again without magisk, white dots.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] JohnFawkes:
weird. the difference between that zip and the other 30d zip is just the build.prop edit. ill make one more zip. i actually updated the tools that our script uses to extract the kdz. ill downgrade back to what we were using and see if that fixes it. if that doesnt then ill have to come up with some other ideas

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Descartesisafraud:
No third zip yet. The last one did not work for me, nobody else has tested it yet. If you would like to test it, make a backup in twrp before. Wipe then flash 30d. If you want to restore back to 30c after, flash 30c first then restore.

Other than the security patch update, is there any other reason to update from 30C to this? When I think of security patches I unfortunately think of modules breaking.

Debate whether D actually has any security update newer than C. Evidence shows it's the same patch regardless of what Verizon says in their release notes.

Which in turn leads to the question whether this security update was a mistake or whether it contains something OTHER than a Google security patch. Either way, you probably don't want it ;)

now it displays “an error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in Smartswitch pc software” which I tried but didn’t work

neither did using Odin 3

it just freezes on the screen and doesn’t go beyond the “Volume up to enter download mode” “volume down to cancel” option

[Realme X2 Pro Questions & Answers] Uqbar:
In order to move a device between CN, EU and IN we'd need to modify the partition sizes.

At the moment I have no clue on how they look like and how the bootloader chooses the system and recovery ones.

Provided that all the stars align properly, it could be in theory possible to dump the three different partition tables and hopefully to restore the needed one before flashing the related ROM.

So, for example, I restore the EU partition table on my CN device, then sideload the EU image.

Any idea whether this is actually doable?

BUt if the problem is with the partition sizes, then there needs to be a re-partition step. No documentation, no video, no idea!

Yea i saw that after I had already posted. I was reading somewhere in the forum that the partition details still haven't been released by realme as they have promised. So i suppose at this point we can just hope for the best.
[Realme X2 Pro Questions & Answers] Uqbar:
Anyone who has root on either device can dump the partition table schema from the internal storage device.

That would give a first base for further investigation, IMHO.

Fiddling with ROM images without this basic knowledge seems to be just waste of time if not dangerous practice.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stasheck:
I use FTV4k in Poland. Using apk's I installed Amazon Prime Video (for whatever reason built-in APV doesn't work in Poland, but one from Android TV works fine); Netflix, Apple TV... and HBO Go (Nordic).

For the past year all worked extremely well and stable, but about 2 weeks ago HBO stopped to work. When I run it, it starts, there are a few revolutions of the circle, and then it jumps back to the main menu. I uninstalled the app, reinstalled, I was able to activate it just fine, and right after activation it dropped back to main menu.

I'm using newest version available, Google Play services are also installed in the newest version... I'm out of ideas what else could I try.

Anyone would care to help me?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] witosza:
I've the same problem :(
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niftynick:
As I have noted in this post, the latest update for Fire Stick 4K causes the HBO GO app to crash. The only solution is to root and downgrade (or watch via the Kodi HBO GO addon).

Additionally, the same thing happened with Fire Stick 2nd Gen in the latest update.

HBO GO should issue a fix, but they're unlikely to do so because Fire Sticks aren't supported.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hello

Could you give me hint How I need downgrade my FSTV4K?

I flashed pre-rooted 2.7.1 then during stick registering auto update install 2.7.3

I disabled OTA then again install 2.7.1.

After that install HBO and try. Not working despite downgrade, so this show that in system there some modified files left.

I suggest that I need backup of 2.7.1 with blocked OTA. Unfortnatly dont have it :(
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niftynick:
I had the same issues. First I thought a full wipe of the system partition would be enough (and flashing the "stock" 2.7.1 via TWRP), but ultimately I had to do a factory reset on 2.7.1, block update servers on my router and skip the updates step in the setup wizard.

Apparently, to pass the update check, but prevent the download, you must block three of the four update servers:

amzdigital-a.akamaihd.net
amzdigitaldownloads.edgesuite.net
updates.amazon.com

If that doesn't get you past the update screen, you can use the Fire Stick remote Android app on a phone, connect to the stick as soon as it's visible on the local network, putting it to sleep via the app and waking it up via the remote. That did it for me.

There are other ways of passing the initial wizard, they involve modifying build.prop to enable ADB and pushing your adb keys, there was a post about it somewhere. To do this, you have to connect the stick directly (no OTG) and do the boot-fastboot.sh step from the rooting instructions.
