[LG G8 Questions & Answers] antintin:
Well I think the bl unlock method for a while for v40 and g7 was crossflashing to a firmware with fastboot and fastboot booting (not flashing) a magisk patched boot IMG, then using the root to dd flash the engineering abl which allows unlocking. I don't know if that would work for g8s without a brick or if your fastboot even allows fastboot booting
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] marceldossantos91:
Thanks alot for the response, that's very hopeful! any place you could point me to the process of flashing the engineering abl? not even sure were to start looking for it on the G8s. P.S im not a noob just a noob to LG :P

I think my fastboot would allow booting as it does respond to basic commands i've tried so far, only issue is the boot.img's out there are all for the EAW version, anyway to decompile a boot img from a kdz?

Thanks in advance!
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] antintin:
Yeah, download the kdz for the exact software version you're on, look up kdztools steadfasterx, go on the GitHub, extract the boot IMG, and patch it in the magisk app. Then try fastboot booting it; flashing it without bl unlock would make it not let you boot, but since fastboot booting worked on g7 and v40, I'd assume it would be ok. You might want to join the telegram group and find someone who knows for certain though
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] marceldossantos91:
Thanks, im going to try this really appreciate your help here. and the abl any idea how i go about flashing that to unlock? Patching the main boot img from magisk while still locked even if the boot img boots with fastboot obviously still won't work to write boot partition with locked BL would it?

thanks i am in that group and asked several times but got ignored, thats why i thought i would ask here, there are 8 countries on this variant so i figured it would help all if it could be figured out since LG Dev only supports the euro model and this variant can actually be unlocked
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] antintin:
Worry about that later, first figure out if you can fastboot boot a boot IMG. Fastboot flashing it will 100% brick you
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] marceldossantos91:
Thanks again, so here is the result.

I am struggling with both kdz tools and kdz firmware extractor, im able to get the DZ and dll files out, but on kdz tools using undz i end up with a bunch of .chunk files, and firmware extractor gives a zlib deflate error and gives a 0 byte file,

Taking this one side, i tried to rename the .chunk to a .img file, fastboot proceeded to download and attempt to boot, but stuck at logo, im guessing because the extraction of the boot img wasn't successful. but fastboot command worked and downloading to the phone worked, and it did attempt to boot, i have no idea now though how to get this kdz extracted. so needless to say without a working boot img i can't confirm 100% all i can confirm is fastboot boot command works.

any ideas?

[EDIT] i changed the unkdz to -c command, it extracted a boot img, i did as you said, patched boot img with magisk, and tried to fastboot boot it, sure enough! booted with dev warning error popups, but went into magisk, root access granted! so the patched boot img works by fastboot booting.

How would i go about the rest though with abl? as far as im aware we still waiting for firehose for G8/s?
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] antintin:
Nice, now you basically have to do the same thing as the other bl unlock guides. You flash the engineering abl to slot b (while on slot a) which needs to have working pie on it. Then you switch to it, go to fastboot, and do fastboot oem unlock.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] marceldossantos91:
Thats great! When you say flash though. You mean dd flash with terminal with su to flash boot_b using said root access right? Then using fastboot to switch to boot_b and use that to unlock, correct?

But no abl yet for G8s as far as im aware, so i take it we need to wait on firehose for it or would cross flashing abl from another device work? Also android 10 update is around the corner, im still on pie 10i for now.

Thanks alot for your patience to help

is this ROM compatible with the X722?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] beeduq:
Nope, it’s based by stock 720 rom, so it will brick 722 devices. The only 720 roms that’s compatible with 722 are android 9 roms, if I remember currectly.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Mnlight7:
Since the last builds of nougat, all x720 builds are compatible with x722, but if you want an eui rom, you should try crisbalgreece's 30s for x722 o gizrom
[General Omni Discussion] Naim178:
My smartphone was running on Android 9 pie. I am saying "was running" beacuse i am in a trouble now... I flashed a custom recovery(TWRP) and I installed a custom rom (LingeaOS) without wipping storage... from that time TWRP shows that "No os installed" .. It restart again and again but without starting android..Whenever I tried to restore my backuped stock rom It shows an error message"Failed to mount /system".. then I flashed another custom recovery(CWM).. And now it restart again and again I've tried to rebboot it in custom recovery mood but I 've failed... Is my Smartphone is bricked?? Is there any way to solve this problem??
[General Omni Discussion] Deleted member 11205025:
This is how to fix it

Yes, this is called a soft brick.

You can solve the problem by doing the following:

-Your bootloader should be unlocked, and I think you've already unlocked it since you were trying to flash a custom ROM.

-You need to have a STOCK ROM of your exact phone model, this is different from TWRP backup, search google for your phone model's stock rom and download.

-You should have Fastboot and ADB installed on your pc.

-boot to fastboot mode (volume up+power, then navigate to fastboot mode).

-connect your phone to pc with USB cable

-open the folder where you have downloaded the minimal adb and fastboot, and open cmd window there with right lick or click cmd-here.exe

-now type fastboot devices, and there should be an alphanumeric code. This means your device is connected. If it is not showing up, try downloading 'minimal adb and fastboot tool' and clicking cmd-here.exe.

-In the stock rom file, there will be a file called 'firmware', and inside it there should be these files: 'system.img' 'recovery.img' 'cache.img' 'userdata.img' 'boot.img'

-Copy all 5 of these, then go to the folder where you have adb and fastboot, go inside that folder( to the place where you have all the adb and fastboot files like adbWinApi.dll). Now paste the 5 files here.

-open cmd window again, and type the following:

1) fastboot erase boot

2) fastboot flash boot boot.img

3)fastboot erase system

4)fastboot flash system system.img

5)fastboot erase recovery

6)fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

7)fastboot erase cache

8)fastboot flash cache cache.img

9)fastboot erase userdata (this may be called data, if fastboot shows an error message, type data instead)

10)fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

and you are done, this should enable you to restore your phone.

If you are unable to access your bootloader, try flashing your stock ROM with SP Flash tool (if you have a mediatek device). You have to have your stock ROM downloaded on your pc. Connect phone to pc via usb, open SP Flash tool, select your firmware file in the topmost box, and in the box beneath that, select the file ending in scatter.txt from your firmware file. Uncheck 'preloader' if it shows up on your screen, then click 'download'. Do not disconnect your phone during the process. When it is finished, there will be a green tick, and you should be able to restart your device.

[Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion] JonathanR9:
Hello everyone,

I have a concern regarding my phone, I bought it in Tigo El Salvador however the default rom is from Gatemala (Tigo) and it has all the Tigo carrier bloatware. I downloaded 2 stock firmwares from Sammobile (unbranded Trinidad & Tobago and Mexico) I installed the samsung drivers on my computer and I downloaded the latest version of Odin 3.14.4 also from Sammobile, entered download mode and flashed the rom from Trinidad & Tobago first. everything went ok, Odin showed a PASSED message and my phone rebooted on the set up screen. I went through the set up process but went I to essential apps section it showed again the bloatware apps from Tigo (carrier).

Then I went to recovery mode and did a factory reset, turned off my phone and flashed the unbranded, non carrier stock rom from Mexico, received PASSED message in Odin and same thing happened. Bloatware reinstalled when I connected to the internet, same carrier ringtones and sounds (turn on/off the phone), etc.

Can you help me find out what am I doing wrong? I really want to remover all the carrier bloatware and this does not seem to workout. as an FYI I haven't done anything else to the phone I just took it out of the box and tried to flash it. As a second FYI I am not that new in Samsung, I had from Galaxy S2 to Galaxy S7 and this was a piece of cake, then from the S7 I switched to Motorola and the I coming back to Samsung again. Not sure what could've changed throughout these years.

Please apologize if this is not the right place to post this and thank you in advance for your help.

[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] AndroidGeekCA:
I have been loving my Motorola G6 for almost two years now. I had hoped that this phone would last between 3 and 5 years. No such luck for me because even though my phone is "functioning" doesn't mean it is not suffering annoying problems.

The entire phone refuses to charge anymore unless I "bend" or "twist" the phone itself. It honestly looks like I am trying to break the phone in half when doing this. It can sometimes take multiple attempts at "twisting" the phone before it manages to STAY in the charging state.

Besides the charging problem the phone no longer works with Google Services whatsoever. I have installed an unofficial GSI Lineage-OS ROM which had been running without Google Services problems before. Ever since the charging problem arose and I factory reset the device which forced me to reinstall the ROM, etc. It was only AFTER resetting the entire device and noticing that the charging problem persisted did I stumble across an obscure comment on an online forum that said to "twist" the device. From the moment that phone and ROM got a factory reset Google Services stopped working and is always crashing on startup. I have tried flashing Gapp packages and everything else I can think of to restore Google Services.

All of this is to say that I don't want to have to replace my current G6 model for the G8+ model($303 with Amazon Prime) but I have reached the point with my current device that it makes sense to upgrade for such a low price. I was wondering how the ROM development has gone for the newer G8+ device.

I obviously want to install the Lineage-OS and do other things like rooting the device after it arrives. I checked the ROM forum section for the G8+ and it is super empty which makes me wonder if I SHOULD get the G8+ model considering that I want to modify/unlock bootloader/root the device. If there are not many developments/ROMS made for this model yet should I consider grabbing the G7 model instead? Of course if the G8+ model is going to have Lineage-OS avaliable within the next couple of months or something than I would get the newer model and just wait for the ROM release.

I would also welcome any other comments from current G8+ owners regarding their thoughts on the device since they've owned and been using this model.

Thanks!

Hi,

Have this phone (exactly "Moto G Pro"):

1. Double Tap to Wake (native) ?

2. work fine on it "XDA Navigation Gestures" ?

3a. is possible (while phone sleep) using FingerPrint for PowerOn and direct to home? (i plane using NovaLauncher)

3b. swiping (while phone is on) over FingerPrint show Notifications?

4. Have any type of "AmbientDisplay"? i mean, phone sleep on desk, i pick up it (without pres key, lcd, fingerprint) and for some sec is show time, notification icons, "etc"...

BTW: actualy i have Nokia 7 Plus, but after some update, lost AmbientDisplay, after replace broken LCD lost DoubleTabToWake and Proximity sensor is always on (while incoming&outgoing call is always black lcd and if need interaction must disable sensor before call)... Then i try find good replacement with AndroidOne(on market with A10), FingerPrint on back, DoubleTapToWake and nice to have stereo speaker, and "Moto G Pro" look as one of fev with stylus (although not "digitizer/wacom" but "only" capacitive) as nice bonus :)

[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] Appelsap:
Well, I tried getting the device connected properly in diagnose mode, but failed. I rooted the phone, tried the "- setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb" but that did nothing.

Then I tried something else, from this thread - setprop persist.vendor.usb.config (and sys.usb.config) diag,diag_mdm,qdss,qdss_mdm,serial_cdev,dpl,rmnet,adb

Not only did I not get the diagnose EDL mode working, but my USB connection now fails, it no longer sees a USB cable connected. I reformatted and reinstalled the first .eu beta rom, and all seemed fine again. But installing the latest stable rom it again does nothing when connecting through USB.

So perhaps re-rooting and setting those values right might help. Anyone know what they should be? Or any other suggestions?

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] noahvt:
Hi!

I currently have an iPhone XS Max and I'm kinda looking to get a new phone since the battery on the iphone is just a massive joke. I used to be a long time android user before switching to the iphone 2 years ago so I'm not really up to date with things in the android world at the moment.

My carrier is currently selling an S20+ for around 599 with the galaxy buds deal still included. Unfortunately, it's the Exynos version. Normally I wouldn't go for Exynos but the scarcity of the Snapdragon version and the purchase price is making me heavily reconsider it. The maximum I can get for my iPhone is 400€ so that further reduces the price.

Is this deal worth investing in despite the fact that it has an exynos cpu? I've heard quite a bit of bad things about the Exynos model so I'm not really sure if I should go for it anymore.
