[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Questions & Answers] :
Whenever I try to enter fastboot and connect to my PC, the phone just kicks itself out of fastboot. Tried reinstalling drivers.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] KiwisIbk:
Hi everyone,

I flashed and relocked via MiFlash Tool Stock Rom (MIUI 10 Global Stable Fastboot Rom). After that updated to latest MIUI 12. Everything works fine but Light, Gyro and Proximity Sensors not.. ☹️ Any workaround to fix? Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] DU3:
Hey All

I would really need your help. I got a rooted Lineages OS 17.1 Xiaomi global Mi A2 which was working wonderfully for almost 2years now

Suddently the screen stopped working. LED backlight works fine but no image.

There was no damage to the screen. No software mods at that time. So most likeyl a hardware failure.

The phone still seems to work, because the long press Power button, starts up the flashlight and if i touch fingerprint scanner if get a vibration.

There is no way to unlock the phone or trust the PC for USB debugging since screen is dead

Now the phone is still in warranty till mid Febuary,

I tried to restore the phone using MiFlashTool, because i would like to remove my data and restore android one if possible.

I tried using Miflash 20181115 with a fastboot image (jasmine_global_images_V11.0.19.0.QDIMIXM_10.0) but i stays at the first line of the flash_all_lock script and does nothing.

Also tried XiaoMiTool V2 but it could not find my phone in Fastboot.

Does anybody have an idea or hint, how i can proceed?

Thanks DU3

I use TCPMP to play all of my xvid and divx movies. I also use pocket divx encoder to compress it again for playback on my phone specifically. Every movie / tv show I put on play smoothly.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] hotrod101:
Keep in mind that I havn't tried the program that this thread is all about. You movies might work if you use pocket divx encoder for this as well. I don't really know. I am not interested in trying it myself as I am extremely happy with TCPMP myself
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] akash_nu:
Does TCPMP play all the formats including M4A?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] hotrod101:
I believe it does. I Just checked and it is in the supported format list. I have it associated to play these; although, I personally have not tried. Don't have anything in M4A format

Edit : we should not talk about TCPMP anymore in this thread as this is not the topic of this thread. There are threads in this forum that talk about TCPMP.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] jerij:
Pixel 2, rooted

While I was using an app ( the APP uses "Android for work" feature ), Pixel 2 restart suddenly and cannot boot to system anymore.

shows "ERROR: Slot Unbootable: Load Error"

I want to keep my data in storage (some photos) .

I tried two ways to find my data:

Flashing factory img file. But also cannot boot.

Flash TWRP to backup my data. But TWRP cannot mount the partition. There is no interface to input password, and the size of storage is zero.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 11324681:
It's been a while since I used my pixel 2 so may have it confused with the loadauthimage error it used to throw up now and then as well but try flashing the bootloader IMG that matches the build you are on and see if it clears the error from bootloader then see if it'll reboot. Other than that its a full factory IMG flash to resolve it sadly.

"

Has anyone already tested if root is stable? Or is it removed after every reboot?

yes it stays after reboot.. you basically root the normal way.. by patching boot.. because you unlock the bootloader before that.

You need to unistall QFIL and instal other version until you can, what version of firmware have your phone?
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnycm77:
I have the lg g8 from Verizon. I can get it into download mode but the lg flash tool keeps telling me it can't read the info it needs and I can't seem to install any of the lgup properly or something.
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dr abeu:
Which OS have you used? I'm on Windows 10, tried many drivers, but this error is still happening.
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Faylynx:
it will be in a different place on your phone, the thread I used as a -Guide- is for a different phone also if you looked at it. Essentially it may not be a hidden menu, it generally could ne under carrier settings, telephony, lte, phone (dialer), or maybe gsm cdma.

Can you go to Device Manager while usb is plugged in and see that the driver is installed & that part is correct. The LG Driver on my onedrive link should be the LGUP driver.

We need to know what exactly it says for the error.

I Renamed files for easier understanding:

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

Your KDZ should be a VZW near the bottom of this page:

LG G820UM(LMG820UM) aka LG G8 ThinQ - LG-Firmwares.com

LMG820UM download the firmware for free! Detailed installation instruction. Video review of the model and its features. User feedback and latest news.

lg-firmwares.com

If you want your phone rooted you should try starting with the oldest KDZ. Newer is less likely to work.

There's also some Variety LGUP's here:

LGUP Ver 1.15, LGUP 1.16 for LG V50, LG G8 ThinQ

LGUP flash tool 1.17 is a new flashing tool to flash kdz/tot/bin format LG Stock firmware onto your LG Phones. You can use LGUP to upgrade or downgrade the software of your device. You even can unbrick a soft-bricked LG device by flashing stock kdz firmware with LGUP.

www.mylgphones.com

There is KDZ Extractor here:

[TOOL] KDZ and TOT Extractor

hi guys, i start this since its support tot file where previously on Tool][python] LG Compressed KDZ Extractor The feature is : - Extract KDZ - Extract DZ - Merge System file from DZ - Add KDZ header by your self in Customize section -...

xdaforums.com

There is KDZ Extractor link that's working:

WindowsLGFirmwareExtract-1.2.5.0-Release.zip | by blackcodetech for G2

Download GApps, Roms, Kernels, Themes, Firmware, and more. Free file hosting for all Android developers.

androidfilehost.com

Maybe KDZ Contains images and you can simply firehose them from EDL Mode.

I also added LGUP Command Line tool to Onedrive, but you will have to look up the commands to be entirely sure although if you just type Lgup_cmd from the folder with the file & .dll in it it is self explanatory.

Hi all. Had a day off yesterday and gave this a go.

For starters.. infamous sahara error. Could not get rid of it. After hours of trying gave up and had a go on wifeys laptop. Same tool versions used. Same version of win 10. Worked without a hitch. So if You have sahara fail error and have another system to try it on.. Do it.

Successfully routed now. But I have found a bug. Not a deal breaker for me but still.. I am unable to use secure start-up where it does ask for the unlock (knock, pin, etc) while booting. After a split second requesting the unlock it resets and boots again. Basically goes into a bootloop. Have to do hard reset.

Has anybody else experianced it? Or is it just me?

In download mo
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnycm77:
in download mode my driver shows up as LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (COM4)
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Faylynx:
That is correct. The correct driver is installed for download mode then.

Although Download mode will be more picky as to requiring the exact firmware KDZ for your phone. You should be able to use LGUP, and if you use the command line tool you put COM4.

I put LGUP_CMD in my c:\ folder because there's nothing there and it's easy to access, although you should always open your CMD prompt with Admin Priveleges when working on your phone.

Example:

LGUP_cmd COM4 LGUP_Common.dll C:\LgKDZfolder\firmware.kdz

I'm pretty sure that would be the command. So you just need to download the command line LGUP and the KDZ.

Scroll up this thread to my phone folder on onedrive and it is the file LGUP-1-17-0-1

Comtaings LGUP_cmd and the LGUP_common.dll
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnycm77:
It keeps telling me

[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Faylynx:
you need to type the full path to the files. it might work without the full path if they are in the same folder as lgup but I don't use flasher. null means it can't find the file, you should move all the files to a folder on your c: drive and name it something simple like - new - so you can simply type (where c:\> is command prompt)

c:\> cd\new

c:\new> lgup_cmd COM4 c:\new\lgup_common.dll c:\new\kdz.kdz <- you must put the name of your kdz file that you downloaded and put it in the folder.

I was really frustrated regarding the sahara error for QFIL when connecting with my LG GX8, I installed and deinstalled several drivers, none of them seemed to work. What finally worked was : Rebooting my Phone to normal and then back to EDL Mode.

After doing that everything worked fine.

So guys, if you are as frustrated that the partition manager is not working in qfil, just do a reboot of your phone in EDL Mode. Worth a try (as always with windows operating system).

I am having the same problem as johnny. I can flash in lgup but after the flash it just says at the top that it is the same firmware no matter which one I flash. It always goes back to 20a.
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Faylynx:
Have you tried powering off the phone then with it powered off hold down vol down key and plug in usb cable to pc do not release key until phone boots and shows fastbboot? if you have the engineering abl_a installed then this should work.

If you cannot boot your phone holding down volume down key and power button to reboot with usb cable plugged into pc should allow reboot into EDL no matter what so long as you just start pressing the volume up key while continuing to hold the other keys when the screen goes blank and reboots. sometimes it helps to unplug the usb cable and reset its connection before doing this. It also helps to have QFIL open as it will show the Qualcomm port opening and let you know it is in fact in EDL mode. screen stays black on phone when in EDL mode.
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnycm77:
I can get into EDL mode very easy. I just have no idea what I'm really doing when I use the qfil. It works great with no problems. I just really don't know how to use it to be honest

[/QUOTE]

When in QFIL using the firehose let's you flash specific images, you can back up and should always back up every file you flash before flashing it.

from the screenshots it looks like the bin files are inside the KDZ so if you extract the KDZ with the KDZ extractor you can flash them with QFIL

The difference is that QFIL will let you do whatever you tell it to you can flash things all wrong. LGUP is intended to ensure nothing can or will go wrong.

If you cannot get LGUP to flash a KDZ and you know it matches your device, extract it and flash the individual .bin files they will all have the same name as the partition they flash,

ABL_a for example is probably the boot sector (like kernel) for Active slot A

Boot_a maybe then would be everything that initializes the OS and requires specific Kernels to load its processes. but all that hardly matters so long as you flash all the matching files within the KDZ so you have a whole proper system flashed.

Chances are LGUP will not allow downgrading and your KDZ is of a previous firmware.

I downgraded from android 10 to Android 9 by flashing an entire set of Sprint LG820UM Images which someone had posted in another thread online which I have posted a link to.

It could help to know what the model of your phone is. not all LG g8 have the same model number. . . . your KDZ should have come from or have in its name the matching model it is intended for that is another possible reason LGUP will not flash it.

Okay, we know that LGup doesn't allow you to flash firmware of another model, but what would happen if I flashed every single bin file of the USA unlocked version on my unlocked BPT version?

I don't even mind experimenting, in the sense that if it fails i don't mind flashing back the bpt software through LGUp
