@HardStyl3r

The version of 2.8 revision I tried was from the old bump~ thread.

http://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lg_g3/bump/ -- twrp-2.8.0.0_d852g-signed.img

Also tried all the official 2.8.3 -> 2.8.6 images. No luck.

But I'll try that one when I get a chance.

Yeah, I'm not holding out much hope after reading about this issue on the Nexus 7 thread. But thanks for your suggestion.

If that version works, I'll let you know.
[G3 Android Development] Ph3ar.:
Sorry about all the issues. I'm not familiar with your model. Let me reasearch a little will holler back if any idea pops up.

On my G3 I would normally return to stock Lollipop. Next I would root and then install the latest version of twrp. I would not un-root anything . I'd boot into the stock rom and then re-provision or activate the phone. Next step would be to download magisk , reboot to twrp and flash magisk . Reboot back into stock then download root checker basic to make sure t was rooted. If it was then reboot back into twrp , flash the rom and gapps. There is no part of the process that calls for unrooting. Even though your rooted with SuperUser at the beginning just flash magisk when your ready and it will take over. There's no part of the process for my device that calls for me to go back to lollipop and then back to kitKat but perhaps your device does. It just sounds too complex for some reason to go through all the steps your doing . With newer TWRP versions and magisk you don't have to worry with bumping either. I haven't bumped in ages. Last week I did return to stock . After rooting I booted into the stock rom. Went to play store and downloaded the TWRP official app. Opened the app and went through the procedure of flashing the recovery right there in the app. Superuser prompted me to grant root access to the twrp app and then I pointed it to where I downloaded twrp and it flashed the recovery. Then Wallah , I rebooted into twrp. Was painless and easy. Maybe all this would work for you ? Question, have you been running custom roms on this device or is this a first try ? Where are you getting the instructions for how to do all of this ? Can you give me a link so I can check it out ? Will do my best to help you get this sorted out.

One last thing , step two in your post says

2. Unroot using IMAGEPREP2.6 Direct, and then get SuperSU settings correct.

^^ This makes no sense to me. If you've unrooted then how can you possibly get any superuser settings correct since you had just unrooted your superuser?
[G3 Android Development] Fractux:
@Ph3ar.

Thanks a million for your reply.

Sorry, a

big

typo on my part that flew over my head.. I meant root using Image prep, not unroot. Updated that.

Sorry for throwing you in a loop.

I was following the instructions laid out here:

LG G3 D852 Telus/Koodo Version Rooting And TWRP Recovery Installation - Henry's Portal

The tutorial will walk you through the steps on how to properly root and install TWRP custom recovery on your Canadian Telus/Koodo LG G3 D852 (Also works for Bell/Rogers variants). Preface The common way to install TWRP on G3 is first to root the device and then use Autorec to install TWRP. This...

www.henrychang.ca

This is a first try. Got the phone second hand. Was picked up with Marshmallow on it.

The only threads I found discussing something similar were these:

https://xdaforums.com/t/cant-mount-errors-when-in-twrp-recovery-nexus-7-2013.3130382/

https://xdaforums.com/t/update-mounting-errors-in-custom-recovery.3064562/page-7

Since I'm new to this, the first roadblocks on my phone when I first tried to follow the official lineage OS guide on their site [ https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/d852/install ]:

On the D852G

- Bootloader is locked.

- Fastboot is hidden behind laf.img . Removing laf.img gains access to fastboot mode, but I can't get the fastboot command to recognize my device, despite trying a few different drivers that people pointed to.

- ADB commands work fine and I can get in to root shell.

I'm only speaking out of my limited experience, so please let me know if I can do things differently. I talk with ZERO authority here.. lol

In order for me to get TWRP to even load, without the "boot certificate verify" error, I had to use Imageprep to bump my boot.img, and have those KITKAT aboot.img and laf.img's to make the phone vulnerable.

- Could going this route be mucking things up for the recovery image?

- If so, how else am I to get a custom recovery to load on my phone? Just using dd to replace the recovery image will result in "Secure boot" error.

I can give this a shot to see if it makes a difference.

@Fractux Maybe just try reflashing your entire device with LGUP or something and start over.
[G3 Android Development] Fractux:
I've tried like 10 times from a fresh re-flash of the lollipop rom, at this point.

/me bangs head against wall. :D

I'm wondering if there's maybe another ROM I can try flashing, other than the stock D852G that will work on the phone as a starting point?

I can't find a working full KitKat .kdz/.tot so far to try on this phone. Many dead links, and no replies to direct messages asking if people had a copy tucked away for the 852G.

I hope to have some time today to plunk around again.

Thanks again for all the suggestions. I really appreciate it.
[G3 Android Development] Ph3ar.:
Sorry for the late reply. Had a super busy day. Let me study on this a bit and do a little reading and then I'll send you a PM tomorrow and work with you. It would be great if someone with the same device could help out . Is this your device and possible Kitkat ? http://lg-roms.com/lg-firmware/lg-g3-lgd852g/v20d/988 also look here http://lg-roms.com/LG-Firmware-List/LGD852G and refer to https://flashstockrom.com/how-to-flash-stock-firmware-on-lg-d852g-g3/ . Also scroll through this for any other links that might help . https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&q=D852G+kitkat+stock+rom&sourceid=opera&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 <<<< Seems to be lots of working links for kitkat in these results as well as L. From just a real brief scan of the procedure it looks like they're saying you need that kitKat boot partition to get this done and they seem to indicate you can leave the L on the phone with the KK boot partition but anyway gotta hit the hay. See if you can get the kitkat you need from any of those links.

[G3 Android Development] Fractux:
Any replies are appreciated, thanks!

Yep, it's the LGD852G.

Sadly, I've been to almost all those links. I'll check a few more there. I've not had much time today, sadly. On LGROMS, the KITKAT .kdz is a non functioning link sadly, and I wrote to them asking about it, but no reply.

Most of those links in the google search are already purple (I have been scouring.. lol ), but I'll check all of the one's I may not have visited yet. Thanks for that.

My model is from Videotron here, and so for a kit kat Firmware I'm looking at any D852G_V10 XXXXXX.kdz . The ones I've tried from LGD852's just brick the phone sadly (It gets stuck in a bootloop), and so does the only D852G_v10.tot file I've found. I've had to recover from hard bricks several times using BoardDiag.

There is a post here about my phone, but links are all dead, or point to invalid downlaods. https://xdaforums.com/t/quebec-lg-g3-d852g-videotron.2970938/ . Now I found a copy of LGD852GAT-01-V10c-302-500-JUL-15-2014+0.tot , but it bricked the phone, and using those aboot.img and laf.img to bump the boot image, still resulted in teh same problem. TWRP just can't see the block device/storage.

So I'm looking for D852G10e hopefully, or another kdz, if I use that old post as a reference.

The problem with TWRP not seeing any storage on the phone happened before the hard bricks, so having to unbrick was not the cause of this current inability to see the phone's storage.

I'll pour through more links and try more as I can, thanks.

---

One thing that hit me when I was unbricking again yesterday after another KitKat attempt, was that the circuit board itself has "D850" etched on it, so maybe I'll try rounds of D850.kdz I can find to see if those work.

At least I know how to unbrick the phone, so I'm not worried about taking the risks. :D

@Fractux

Have tried the official TWRP?

Download TWRP for d852g

Download TWRP Open Recovery for d852g

dl.twrp.me

Also, maybe try to mount those partitions from terminal. Easiest way is to adb shell, while in recovery. Best to look up how to use Linux terminal, because that is what it is.

I just started playing with my G3 again, all my new phones, I can't root. So I don't remember much. But I do know if its a data issue and not that the flash memory is failing we should be able to fix it.
[G3 Android Development] jcfunk:
@HardStyl3r

Does LineageOS support f2fs? Or do I have to compile the kernel to support f2fs? If so will there be any issue with VOID and mounting external SD formatted with f2fs?

Also side note, seems no stock phone supports f2fs but Chromebook does. I upgraded from ResurrectionRemix to LineageOS 18.1 and my sdcard stop working. Worked in twrp, but no where else until I put it into my daughters Chromebook.
[G3 Android Development] macgyver77:
@HardStyl3r

I found that upon every reboot the device time was incorrectly falling back to LOS build time (?) until connected to a network and also found that this was caused by a SELinux permission problem with the TimeKeep service, which is used for timesetting since 18.1.

I opened an issue in the official LOS issue tracker here and also proposed a patch for the source tree there. For the time being, I hacked together a flashable package (tested in TWRP 3.5.2) that patches the underlying problem directly on device (see attachment).

But if i google "R16NW" i see no mention of my device. Instead i find info for other devices like the S7. The only guides i found to root my phone requires a different build number such as "U1ARIC".

Does that mean my particular device is un-rootable?

Hi everyone!

Is there some way to forcibly erase eSIM, except through settings?

I tried to set up the eSIM, and kept getting endless network check. While reading the forums I got the idea to update my phone. Through the standard option in the settings (before that there was android 11, almost the latest version). After that, the option to add eSIM disappeared. I tried to uninstall the eSIM through the network reset settings. Nothing worked. Then I decided to try hard reset, and I saw the message as in the screenshot. Reboots didn't help in any way. And in the end I made a hard reset. Installed the latest official (before it ran on official as well) firmware via fastboot. And locked the bootloader. But the option never appeared.

Any suggestions?

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 19darion91:
Hello,

I was given this TF300T to check if I can fix it (it was really bad soft brick with data partition not being mounted by TWRP and giving on boot that it is encrypted).

I tried flashing stock and after stock ROM was flashed (followed the guide I found here) rebooted as per the guide.

Since then the tablet is in a boot loop, I can't turn in off completely and upon trying to restart it while holding volume down I still get into the boot loop. With volume up, it vibrates one and then "connects" to my computer as an unknown device.

If anyone has any idea on how to fix it, please respond. All help is welcomed.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bozy25:
if if vibrates, it's not a TF300T... because the TF300 doesn't have vibration...
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 19darion91:
Well, based on the kernel, and what it did say in the TWRP recovery before I tried flashing stock it is TF300T. And after checking online, the model for Bulgaria does have a vibration motor.

How the question is how can I force it to boot into fastboot mode.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebonit:
Before the bootloop starts again hold "Volume" down and you will get into fastboot mode.

After that you may do a Buster99: (1) Unrecoverable bootloader error but not Bricked! | XDA Developers Forums (xda-developers.com)

BTW, if you cannot get into fastboot mode, please, dowload "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" and try ADB.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 19darion91:
So I tried that, but it still doesn't get me into fastboot mode. I also tried it with the reset switch and it still gets into the bootloop and nothing connects to the pc. However is I hold the volume up button, the display goes black and it does connect, but my pc doesn't recognize the device and can't find drivers. When I do the volume up it connects as an "APX Device"

In this mode it is still not seen either from ADB or Fastboot (tied both with Google Platform Tools ADB and Fastboot and with minimal ADB and Fastboot).

Seems there is a driver problem. Hopefully you will get it. So you may try the attached driver.

That was helpful, the tablet is now connected in APX mode. I tried finding the NVFlash tool for the TF300T, but it is dead and APX mode itself doesn't let you use adb or fastboot commands

Ok, as promished, here is the new rom. I just post the link in a text file, cause I want to see the counter running :)

It's a standard snapvue, liberated, with the following ehancement:

Screen rotation in settings

GPS in snapvue side

Full iexplorer, notes, images, messenger,windows live.

HTC X-button 1.5

HTCGPStool

DotFred's TaskManager

USBtools for connecting to vista

A few htc blocages removed

I've tested the sound. the gps fix, and vista connectivity. Be sure to use high performace power mode for best results. It's still beta until everyone confirm it works ok. DOn't flash it if you are afraid of dark.

My radio is 1.58.21.23, so it should work on all european shift. North americans have already the gps included anyway.

To install, run customRUU AS ADMINISTRATOR on a HardSPL shift

FAQ:

- Flash is not working, it stops at 0%

You dummy boy forgot to hardSPL your shift. Look in the forum for HardSPL by cmonex

-Flash is working, goes until the end, but I get an old rom

Try launching customruu from a new folder with a new name. It's a bug under vista

- GPS does not get a fix

Sorry. Get outside, in the middle of a field, and wait. You will get a fix.

- I want GPS under vista too

It's a software problem. I'm using franson gpsgate on both side, using an activesync solution. There are other way.

- What took you so long to release this

Well, I'm like you, I waited for a rom, and since nothing came, I've started doing it myself. It took me one week.

- It mean you are against shift project

No, Thanks to their help, I can flash roms on my device. I'm actually in regular contact with cmonex. We both think more rom is best for everybody. Shift project will release quality rom on it's agenda.

- What will you do next

I'll go for screen problems I want games to work on this. After,I'll try and see the SD card, the phone, the BT and the wifi

-Wait, SD card is higher priority to me

Well, I just start where I think it can be easier to sort thinks out.

- Why don't you release a cab for the GPS like you did

Because one of the driver responsbile for linking with the sound is loaded at boot time. Try changing this on you own, and you'll have to hard reset. Only way to change it is a custom rom

- I have function X that doesn't work

Does it work after a hard reset? If not, please post how to redo it on my device

- My girlfriend left me since I flashed this rom

You forgot to HardSPL her. It's your fault

- I want program X added to the rom

Maybe if I see it as a great improvment, othewise, you should learn to cook rom yourself
