[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] dikkbutt:
hey there, cant help u with the encryption thing cuz thats far beyond my knowledge. some weeks ago my phone dropped, and a tiny crack on the edge appeared. what i didnt know was that this crack is the beginning of the end of the V20. heres the story short: small crack over time leads to a bigger crack, bigger crack multiplies and u have some more cracks covering the whole screen. also the screen can pop off and hanging loose a little. in my case 4-6 weeks and i have to get out phone 2/3 which i am setting up using this guide now. fortunately i left myself a huge pyle of information on how to do this when starting at 0. over time u forget EVERYTHING u have done, so having these infos is hammering.

lucky me did i save my internal memory of phone 1/3 bcuz 30min later the screen was totally fuqqed up, no access no chance of backupping internal memory.

so heres my recommendation:

DONT drop your phone. even in my case with rubber battery case from aliexpress

(perfine "10000"mah) a 50cm drop cracked the edge of the screen. if that happens, backup your internal memory !!! (just do this on a regular base)

when ur screen gets damaged and u cant enter information or cant see anything anymore on the screen ur internal data is lost. so always have ur internal memory backuped!

and great job LG for producing such a huge pyle of ****. one small drop, screen cracked, bravo, last time i ever bought anything from lg. my V10 dropped like a 1000times, nothing, still up and running. v20, drop, 6weeks later, dead. thanks LG the customers all over the world couldnt wait to use these bull**** crackable glass-screens. great job, -1 customer.

I've tried this on two different computers with two different cables in every USB port on the machines but can't get by the Windows portion. I am using UPPERCUT as the windows box/LGUP reports no device found without it...

Of course UPPERCUT drives windows security mad as it's reported as doing bad things but as I'm using an extra win laptop that will be wiped I disable all of that....

I have three different sourced KDZ files as the one linked wasn't initially reporting any mirrors. Eventually a mirror did pop up for it but by then I had downloaded two others -- all were the same size and one of the three reported from LGUP was bad. Every attempt with the other two failed. Invalid Command response came up a few times... sometimes it just failed at around 80+ percent from the PC side which was 99% on the phone's downloader mode progress bar.

It's very frustrating.... I would like to blame windows but there seem to me plenty here with success... any other ideas?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] gmolds:
Also... since it got so far, rebooting at this point just goes to the download mode so I might be hosed... I can force it to the fastboot mode and it is still unlocked so I've been trying to install TWRP onto recovery using the linux/android machine but when I type

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img from the directory where twrp was downloaded I get this:

sending recovery --- okay

writing recovery --- failed remote: unknown command

So... any thoughts?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] dikkbutt:
aloha, at which step are u stuck exactly? did u make your phone being recognized by the win10 pc?

one thing to regard is, that a usb-CHARGING cable possibly wont work, u need a designated media/data-cable.

i had this situation before, where using many different usb cables drove me insane bcuz i simply couldnt establish a proper data connection with phone/pc, it just didnt work. it took me many hours until i realized, that all of the cables i tried were charging cables!

for me the most difficult step was having the phone being recognized by the win-pc, the rest went relatively easy.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] gmolds:
The phone is recognized by the PC, no problem. I do have to use UPPERCUT to get LGUP to recognize it though. The step I'm stuck at is applying the downgrade. It gets to various percentages of done-ness and fails. It got far enough that now my only options on the phone are Download mode or fastboot mode. Problem is, I can't seem to get anything to push to recovery so I assume that it's still not properly downgraded.

I've tried a few different cables and keep in mind the cable I used in the linux adb bootloader step worked fine. I don't entirely know what difference there is between a charging and data cable but I do know the main differences in the steps are a> Windows and b> size of transfer.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] dikkbutt:
weird. since im no pro myself, my ideas are limited on this one. there might be some kind of loose contact at the charging port,

that when the phone is moved just a little it looses connection for a second and reconnects again, had that in the past, so try not to touch the phone at all. did u use the 10p kdz file mentioned before? did u make sure it has been downloaded correctly?

if an error occured and there are some % missing... its like faulty ram, hard to detect.

assuming, u did or did not downgrade to 10p, did u try to continue with the linux-step? ---->

---------------------------

on the linux-desktop, click on the LG folder, inside, click on LGLAF runningnaked.

a terminal-window opens.

type: git pull

type: git checkout h918-miscwrte

type: ./step1.sh

now we have flashed twrp onto downloadmode

-----------------------------

maybe uppercut/lgup displayed an error message for no reason, and the downgrade itself went through without a problem in the background.

pcs sometimes do weird things.

if nothing works, try setting up win10 and try on a virgin system. in my case, OnOshutup prevented win10 from recognizing the phone,

or try using a 3rd pc from a friend.

i was able to setup my phone 2/3 using this guide in 30min, no problems at all. (i hope i wrote down, how i solved that simlock issue.....)

no matter what causes the problemin ur case , id be interested to hear what it was.

Thanks! Rooted and Unlocked thanks to this guide!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Aarix:
I tried following other guides using UPPERCUT and it fails to downgrade due to Anti Roll Back. How does this relate to this guide since the last thing I want is for (by design) for it to brick the phone. I have yet to find anything specific saying an unlocked bootloader will bypass the anti rollback check.

[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] daddyboom1100:
Hi all,

My Oneplus 7 version is GM1900 and is 1 year old. And after a month of using it, I was tempted to root my device and make an experiment (for which I lost track on the tools, process, ROMs where I rooted my phone). It was a success and had fun using it. Until recently, I decided to unroot back my device. So I tried to do my research and did DIYs but ended up making my phone bricked.

I am a novice at this field and below are the things (maybe important to bring back my dead phone) I did before I bricked my phone.

- As far as I remember, my phone is on build 10.0.9xxxxx

- Downloaded and used 10.0.8-GLOBALOnePlus7Oxygen_14.P.29_OTA_029_all_2009152124...... from sourceforge coming from this thread here

- Flashed the device (after flashing the phone was keep on rebooting so I thought the stupidest thing after)

- Run fastboot and oem lock the device (knowing that every steps I did was right but very stupid all along, and YES, I confirmed to lock the device when notified on the phone)

- And the nightmare begins on my device Status: Keeps on rebooting on Android logo (turn on - > android logo - > turn off - > turn on - > android logo ...)

- Tried rebooting to fastboot but to no avail (it says Device State - Locked)

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] rpmbnsf:
I'm a little frustrated in trying to get the newest version of Spb Shell working smoothly. I have found the best ROM's are ones that are light with very little programs installed. But even with a lean fast ROM spb shell seems to run slow... meaning the animations and reaction speed when pressing buttons are delayed. I loaded spb on my 8525 and it woks beautifully ..I know its a QVGA screen but still i would think i could get similar results with a VGA screen along with a much faster processor. Just to try another experiment I loaded spb on my old HP 4700 and WOW it works so fast its scary! Anyone know why this is? How is it a 5 year old device performs so much faster that my new one? is it because of the missing graphics drivers in the Athena?

anyone have any good tweaks to make his shell work better?

maybe we should make a thread about tweaks for Spb Shell (did not see one specifically for this) if there enough interest?

2. preferable lite ROM + uncheck today items

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ------------------:
I want to do a factory reset on my Samsung Galaxy J7 2016 (J710FXXU6CSK1),not previously flashed, however I need to use a password when factory resetting through Settings, which I cannot recover, even after confirming using my email adress. My best bet is to wipe everything, and manually install the firmware through Odin. I did not find the firmware for the exact version I currently have, however I am currently downloading a similar version through updato (J710FXXU6CSK2) . Now,this version is localised for India, and I live in Europe. Would installing this version risk bricking my phone? A barely usable device is better than an unusable device.

I'd like to mention that I have searched for the same issue on XDA , and I have not found anything so far, at least concerning this device/model. Secondly, even though I am not completely new to flashing with Odin(I managed to save a bricked Samsung Galaxy Core II a few months ago),I'm still unfamiliar with how to use Odin,and don't really remember exactly what I did the last time.

1)I heard that specific versions of Odin work on specific models. Is that true? I have "Odin3 v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD.exe" downloaded,will that work for my device?

2)Once(if) I have the firmware downloaded and everything connected ,where should I "put" the firmware on Odin?(It is in the AP box if Iremember correctly, though I could be completely wrong, please correct me if I am)

3)Will I be asked to enter the same password I mentioned earlier if I do it manually?(Through the android boot menu)

4)If I am required to enter a password, is there any way I could bypass it?

5)I know I could have searched for this last question on my own, but if anyone could be kind enough to link me to an Odin tutorial, I would really appreciate it! Last time, I had to gather small bits of how it worked from many different sources.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3athAdd3r:
Hi,

If your device is working correctly i suggest to do a factory reset from recovery menu instead of flashing again. thats simple, no password required. https://www.verizon.com/support/kno...old the Volume,Select Wipe data/factory reset.

you have to flash firmware specific to country. you can find a specific firmmware here - https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-J710FN

Even if you flash a different firmware, you may not get network, but that can be corrected by flashing a correct firmware again.

you have to extract the firmware downloaded and specify files in odin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6gyc5wsuE0&ab_channel=GSM-ABC

Ok, do this:

1. Unplug the USB cable from the phone.

2. Hold down the Volume-down key and the Power button, then press (and let go of) the RESET button with your stylus.

3. When the tri-color screen appears, you can let go of the buttons.

4. The screen should say "Serial" at the bottom (in the gray color area).

5. Plug in the USB cable (The screen should change to "USB").

6. Run the RUU app on the PC to reflash your phone to a known good ROM.

That should get you back up and running.

If the hard reset does not work, then by all means, try a re-flash like describe d in the previous post.

Your device is certainly NOT dead. Re-flash with a good ROM will work. But since flash is always risky, try the hard reset first :)

How to hard reset, you can find on the WIKI, here.
