Sorry I wasn't trying to say anything. I was actually hoping you'd reply back. I'm finally on Windows 10 because I couldn't get anywhere on 8.1. I've rooted my phones before this one but this one has realy been difficult. Do you think my chances of it working without downgrading on Windows 10 are better now that I'm not on 8.1? I'm just not sure what to do.
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] justanutt:
I just meant the same thing. I have rooted phones before but this one is difficult.

use win7 pro or win10 ltsb im currently using win10 ltsb and i have a win7 pc and one with linux fwul just in case

flash back your abl a and abl b after using v50 eng abl a. IF your above 20e or below 20c Do not try to unlock boot loader
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Keke.ua:
So friends, someone knows how to resurrect the touchscreen?
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] justanutt:
So you have to be on 20d.
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] blaze2051:
20c d or e. nothing else has been tested or proven so try it on any other version at your own risk
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] blaze2051:
you have to flash your stock backed up abl a and abl b to get touch to work again.

you can not stay on the v50 eng abl a because of touch screen driver is off. you may try this guide but i have not tried it.

Click Tools> Partition Manager. Find Abl_a and right click on it and select Manage Partition Data. Click Read to backup your abl_a. I correctly understand under the saved abl_a / b you mean this action? if so, then I have already re-loaded them via qfil but it did not work. maybe you need to lock the bootloader and then recover? sorry for my importunity, but I don’t know what to do anymore. And why do I need that manual with fingerprint recovery? maybe I'm stupid, but I don't see any useful information there on how to restore a touchscreen and not a fingerprint
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] blaze2051:
flashing your stock abl a/b should have restored your touch screen if it did not work then you need to flash a complete new .kdz file using LGUP 1.14

so if I am on 10e with my lg 8gx is it possible to downgrade via "lg up 1.14" and downloading a 10d firmware

from the official lg webpage for my phone?

Or is there a bricking risk by downgrading?
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] justanutt:
In my experience flashing with lgup is pretty reliable. But this last time it was not. You technically should be able to. Just make sure you make a backup of your current firmware first!!!

Okay, I made it all the way to the ADB step and it flat out refuses to work. At all. Nothing happens when I hit fastboot devices when running the command prompt. When I leave EDL mode, the touchscreen refuses to work. I restored the original files and the phone is back to stock again, but that's not very helpful.

to my knowledge TWRP is not stable yet. In the Youtube Documentation it is said, that this will be updated once the TWRP actually works and does not cause bootloops.

I'm in serious need of help. I was able to flash my abl and flash the boot but not able to get into fashion. Now my phone just is just stuck at the Verizon white screen. How can I get into fastboot to finish. I have the LM-G820UM20i from Verizon. LG G8 thinq. Thanks

How do you managed to get past the sahara error in QFIL?

I tried an older QFIL version and older driver, but get the same error.

I'm on Android 10 21f version.
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Keke.ua:
Most importantly, who has the "sahara error" error, take out the sd card !! if it doesn't work, uninstall the old driver and install a new one. if you read the comments, the link to the new driver has already been dropped it's work on G820U21d
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Keke.ua:
Also when you unlocked bootloader you should flash your saved abl_a / abl_b with fastboot, not qfil. fastboot flash abl_a abl_a.bin

and fastboot flash abl_b abl_b.bin

Does your phone boot into fastboot mode?
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Faylynx:
I uploaded files qdloader for qfil here:

Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.

Store photos and docs online. Access them from any PC, Mac or phone. Create and work together on Word, Excel or PowerPoint documents.

1drv.ms

32 and 64 bit depending on your system.

I can't root my phone anymore, after I messed it up the first time removing sprint apps, I reinstalled the original boot_b. If the phone gets stuckin a magisk version of boot_b bootloop get to fastboot via EDL and load the engineering abl_a to A & B, the n flash original abl's and boot in fastboot. But when I create a magisk boot_b.bin patched file I just get a bootloop.

At least I can get into fastboot and EDL mode over and over again.

On another note one time it switched to slot A and asked for a password so I had to go back to fastboot and use the command fastboot --set-active=b

This did not work with minimal ADB & Fastboot I downloaded the SDK version

And now the version of the qualcomm driver from the original link works no sahara error but it doesn't change anything about trying to flash the magisk.img to boot_b (my active slot)

I just want my MSL so I can edit my APN when not on Sprint! :p

i have really messed up guys when i was flashing abl_a back i accidentally flashed xbl_a over... sigh anyone got a copy of it they can share?
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Faylynx:
Sooo, I have been up all night. And I finally flashed an entire set of Sprint Images which changed the entire look of my phone once it was factory reset, it of course brought up the enter password 30 tries screen, so I held down power and shut it down then reboot into recovery easy peasy.

Then during the course of events I've downloaded a file simply called basic flasher.

NOW with the older LG G8 Sprint loaded onto the phone I am able to enter ##diag# and access the phone with basic flasher read device info, choose LG, and finally get my phones SPC.

So, I can do what I've been trying to do, and on the other hand this is essentially a downgrade to a version which is entirely rootable so long as you install the entire system, factory reset, then follow the instructions as per another guide if neccessary. but I am not looking to root I just want to be able to change my APN settings and anything else that requires the SPC/MSL

I'll get to uploading ALL the files including the patched boot img that goes with the version of the phone to be flashed and the basic flasher program.

Which btw also brings me to the modified version of DFS which does not connect online and I guess it's a hacked version I really don't know but I was able to send the SPC to the phone with the basic flasher and once it is unlocked as I know from historical CDMA workshop methods you may now access the phone via serial port from your desired program.

And in DFS I am able to read/write just about everything so I am finally done with this.

:D

and so now I am here: (Which is for: DFS guide)

Hi. I've followed your instructions all the way up to rebooting into fastboot - with both ways you listed, all my phone does is reboot, but not into fastboot. Can you help?

Btw, thanks for this.
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Faylynx:
This is the guide that only works for specific variants:

g8_guide.pdf

drive.google.com

In this guide is link to the "20d backup" it is 7-8gb in size.

If you are not yet bootloader unlocked and stuck and don't mind downgrading just flash engineering abl_a to abl_a and abl_b , boot into flashboot, from command or powershell run fastboot oem unlock and unlock your bootloader first.

If you are bootloader unlocked and for some reason cannot boot or re-root your phone and don't mind downgraded to android 9, then what I did was to:

Enter EDL and in QFIL I flashed (from the aforementioned sprint 20d backup) ALL the .img files to their respective slots. Not all of them are going to be used so if it matches it flashes.

Then I reboot into Recovery and Factory/Data Reset.

Now it boots into Android 9.

Then install Magisk, without SD Card or SIM in phone in Airplane mode to prevent updates, and I disabled Lookout App Just in case so it will not interrupt the boot patch process.

Patch the boot_b downloaded from EDL, or in this case the one in the folder with all the img's should work since it should be the same file but just to be safe again I used Read and used the one from the phones partition after rebooting once in case it changes.

Reboot into EDL and with QFIL use the magisk patch according to this threads instructions basically continuing from where I am - "bootloader unlocked : install/patch with Magisk"

-- I patched boot_b.bin then QFIL flashed boot_b with the magisk output img file..

Now the phone boots and is rooted.

Now Basic Flasher works either because it's android 9 or because it is rooted.

I just uploaded basic flasher to the onedrive phone folder I've posted a link to.

Basic Flasher is SAFE it will require to turn off browser security to download and may show a Net Framework error upon launch, the app is password protected password is oriax123

put phone into diag mode ##3424#

Make sure usb option is to Charge only!

run SCAN: next to scan select SERIAL port with the COM number NOT MODEM.

Press Connect, Press Read Device, on Method select LG, Press read SPC

Press Send SPC

Your phone is now unlocked for service programming VIA Serial Port.

Hi to All, I successfully unlocked bootloader and installed magisk for my LG 8GX THINQ.

But I have one major problem: There is NO Sound whatsoever. I can change volume to max and I do not hear anything.

Even when plugging in the headphones I do not hear any sound. So it seems a software problem.

But it was working the day before. Also I can not play any whatsapp sounds or youtube videos. they give error message, that the audio file can not be played. seems that I lost my codecs?!

Does anyone know how this could have happened and what I can do? I am on Android 10, 20d-eea-xx and model is

Edit:

Solved by flashing a patched magisk from my original boot_b

This is actually the first time I root a phone, and I'm still stuck at this same error in QFIL, even after installing your QDLoader.

Just by messing with the bloatwares, you can't boot your phone anymore? How strange. I haven't tried to remove mine yet.

The thing I hate most is the sprint logo on boot.

I sucessfully used shortcut master lite to locate the edit for the apn on the Sprint G8 thinQ!!! So now it can be programmed for ANY Network! And now I have the LTE conncection on H2O wireless on the Sprint LG G8 Thinq.

The main settings in the phone menu remain greyed out but added APN's now appear but can only be edited in the App. Via

com.lge.hiddenmenu (409 items) Thsi will have an Android Icon next to it.

-> Scroll down to APN Editor (This may require going to the APN Unlock first, which only need to be clicked on but when I found that first I hoped the main menu would unlock, so go unlock it if the APN editor doesn't work)

APNEditor is about half way down on the scroll bar.

NOTE! -> When you click on some of these menus a pop up will appear in order to continue you MUST CLICK QUICKLY ON LAUNCH TWICE IN A ROW. The very first time Superuser Permission will pop up for the App.

I've really messed up and now I can only get my phone into edl mode. It won't start or anything. No download mode or anything. Just EDL and that's it. Can someone please help?
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Faylynx:
You need to let us know what type of phone you have first, including the Carrier it came from.

If it's LG G8 Thinq Sprint you can just use EDL to flash android 9, you will have to download 7GB

If it's another carrier you can enter Emergeny mode and hope for a flashable KDZ to be online.

Sprint does not share it's KDZ's so a Sprint phone requires, .. more work.

If you have a different model you should check a forum specific to your phone for recovery.

I used CCleaner and others to uninstall Android Studio and cleanup the registry and all, hoping to reinstall AS and carry on. But it is still stuck. So I expect the stuck options are within the project files. Next question, here is a pic of the project, which folders and files can I delete without losing stuff that I need? Hopefully I can delete the right one :)

Well, I found this post on Stack Overflow,

How to completely uninstall Android Studio from windows(v10)?

Quite detailed. I went thru the whole thing, being aware not to delete my project. Problem persists. So the detail is probably in my actual project. So I still need the answer to my previous post with the pic of my directory listing :)
[Android Studio] mdawdy:
I have done a full days work on this since my above post - I found a post on Stackoverflow that listed ALL of the things that need to be deleted to completely remove Android Studio. There are tens of thousands of files to be deleted from several places. .gradle is one example. I went for coffee. In addition I cleaned the registry with CCleaner, and ran a couple of other similar programs.

Then I reinstalled Android studio and no joy. It still found my project directory, automatically loaded my project, and had the same anomaly. So I need to know what files in the project directory I can delete without losing the needed ones. Otherwise next step is to save the obvious ones [java, xml, etc], delete all else, re-install Android Studio again, restart it as a new project, and hope

I'll attach two pics, one of the project directory showing all of the files/directories from which I must make keep/delete decisions. Any comments on what to delete or NOT are appreciated. Then a screen shot of the anomalous behaviour. I used red arrows to indicate two of the places of concern. Note especially that Select Device is grayed out.

you are familiar with the utility of theseView attachment 5195553View attachment 5195555 project directories/files list then you could offer an opinion on what can be deleted. Thank you
[Android Studio] mdawdy:
Problem solved, almost as mysteriously as it started. I made some planned changes to the app and went thru the process of setting up an AVD and editing the run configuration. Then the Select Device became un-grayed, the Run menu reverted to normal, and everything worked.

How did you all help? Well, you gave me a structured place to think and prepare how to fix this, and it worked. I had to think hard so that I could present the problem properly. That has been enough. Thank you for being here :)

Hey everyone,

I have the Kaiser and am having trouble with my storage memory.

Total: 125.04 MB

In use: 111.10 MB

***Free: 13.88 MB ***

Why is my storage memory so damn low?... How do I find out what's taking so much mem up?... How do I free that memory up??? I have no programs open, and most of my programs are on my 4 gig storage card.

Any help or suggestions are truly appreciated!

- Jesse
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ekw:
Make sure the caches of IE, OPERA, ETC are deleted routinely.

If you are storing ringtones on your main memory, download software that will allow ringtones on the storage card.

Same goes with any audio clips, videos, or pictures.

If you use resco explorer, make sure the recycling bin is cleaned, or simply disable the recycling bin.

This should free up a nice chunk of storage space. (Ofcourse assuming that most of your programs are actually on your storage card; check your main memory programs folder to actually see whats installed on your main memory)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] JesseF92:
Thank you for your help!

One more (silly) question - When I install programs to my Tilt, it asks me if I want to install them to the main storage or my memory card. I almost always choose memory card, yet when I check my main storage memory after I install to my storage card, the main storage is depleted... Even though I chose storage card, it still installs some components to the main memory... why is this?
