[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emperordogma:
Ahhhh, I assumed everything I saw was in a "copy/paste" format so, I didn't think to even try to exclude the adb from it.

I was able to mount system, and browse apps, there was stuff in there.

I used the "bs=512" method, and it gave the same result. I'm starting to think I'm just boned honestly. I'll upload my boot.img here in a few (in case you see this before I do).

I was hoping I could back up my texts/call logs (I was able to salvage a few, but I'm missing about a months worth), properly backup WhatsApp, get my Nova settings, and make sure I'm not missing anything else (I had a list, but can't think of it now). And I was hoping by doing it, it would fix the annoying Wifi bug.

Edit 1: I don't think it's "bootlooping", because I read that you could boot into TWRP while it's doing it (if your timing is good), I tried and couldn't get into TWRP at all, it's "stone walling" at the LG screen.

Edit 2: My stock Boot.img
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steadfasterX:
ok so .. the boot image you send is not from the STOCK ROM. That is from LOS it seems. Pls upload the stock one which you are trying to flash with dd
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emperordogma:
Huh, I am not sure how that happened. I'm starting to wonder if after the first try with adb push if I was even using my Stock Boot.img, magisk must've messed with me (they said the recommend way to to patch a boot.img) and I got them mixed up? Or at least that's the only thing I can think of.

Anyways, this should be the right one. Boot.img
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emperordogma:
@steadfasterX

I was able to boot back to Stock using the correct boot.img, unfortunately I lost some very important WhatsApp texts because it had to "re-verify", but other than that, everything seems to be in order. My apologies for confusing us both with the wrong boot.img. When I was messing around with Magisk, I must've gotten the two confused. I won't know if the wifi is fixed in LOS until later (I have to wait a while before I can use WhatsApp again).
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steadfasterX:
yea that was my assumption after seeing that wrong boot.img.. all users were able to boot STOCK this way so it was either a mistake or bad flash. glad you figured it out.

when your WiFi does not come back on LOS later attach the boot logs then.

cheers
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emperordogma:
Everything appears to be working fine now, including the WiFi (you were right about fixing it by going back to stock), which appears to be better than it was before! I decided to upgrade to Lineage 16, because you had just updated it recently so, best to stay where the active development is (or at least last update), in case anything goes wrong. Thank you so much for your assistance, sorry about mixing up the boot.imgs. And thank you continuing support for the G4 (in some capacity).

I also just found out my phone had "OEM Unlock" in the developer settings, so I don't think I needed to use USU (if I read about that tight), pretty annoyed with myself for not paying attention properly.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steadfasterX:
If your device is not a h811 or h815 international(!) then this option in dev settings will just do.....nothing. If it would be THAT easy there were never the need for UsU ;) so you did it all right :)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emperordogma:
Then what the heck is the point of that button/switch??? I figured because mine was a frankenstien device that maybe almost all of them had it, or I just got "lucky".
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steadfasterX:
Its just there by mistake. Not by LG but the OEMs. The OEMs like verizon, etc are not doing a good job but that's not new..

I don't think there's much happening, at least when asked differently before:

https://xdaforums.com/t/any-cool-boot-animations-out-there.4277057/

Maybe a custom ROM or Magisk module has something...

[OnePlus 9 Pro] Veid71:
what files did you replace?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Veid71:
yeah, it looks like flashing through magisk might be the only way, for some reason you cant change the root directory files manually, so i guess i gotta figure out how to make a magisk module

Push it thru fastboot is probably the way to do it.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] kapitanogor:
Hi all

I bought diamond from orange 2 months ago.

First problem was (actually I'm still having it) when I connect my phone to computer with USB 1.0 as a hard drive and send some data like mp3 on it, it seems to corrupt the data so mp3 i skipping sometimes not working at all!!

using active sync everything is ok... and on USB 2.0 everytyhing is ok.

To fix this I change my diamond to new one (don't ask what I had to go thru to replace it... phone4u) that change didn't help... of course 1.0 is old so I bought new laptop and this way I solv that problem :D

tf3d semms to be unfinish project

1. where is task tab ?

2. locking the screen

They could do a tab witch is locking screen When you want to lock it just slide on the tab or turn off backlight (like s2u2) and then to unlock you just have to slide the tab like in s2u2

(thanks for that app.. only one problem with it is when I'm turning tf3d player on with headphones and turning off the screen after turning on the s2u2 is not showing up??)

3. The smartest thing is my pouch taking or rejecting the calls just brilliant idea I don't have to care abouth it XXI technology and some smart people in htc already did that for my WTF

4. TF3D hmm is nice is good alternative to iphone look like but no one gona win the race without basic things like task tab callendar tab(thx D-Man) and it is a bit slow...

5. no expansion slot, no flash light, no comments

6. battery??

At the end T can say that they have idea with the manila and all that stuff but it seams they don't have clue how to use it in a phone...

Diamond is not a busines phone!!! I think it is just beta version

D-Man sorry for no reply with manila reserch I am suffering enotime now...

NICE JOB MATE!😀

(a two things annoying me a bit so far..., the camera filters aren't working and can't update chrome browser...)

Wonder why on rooted Redmi 9 I STILL can't use RW system...

Generally, the ROM is working fast and smooth! The signal of a carrier is a bit better then on stock roms and is working great so far. The same the wifi.

Is there a way to enable a call history for separate numbers/contacts with the Google dialer? I miss this option from the Xiaomi dialer even more than call recording. Having to wade through months of logs in call history seems unnecessary. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

I have very basic requirements and probably won’t move from stock just for this option as I’m happy with everything else. Just wondered if there was a simple workaround that doesn’t involve a ROM change.

[General Questions and Answers] AllanonMage:
I paid for a bootloader unlock for my Snapdragon Note 10 plus, but it turns out there are no stock based ROMs available for my particular model (non 5G version). I tried LineageOS on another phone, and I don't like it, and I need VoLTE because my carrier ditched 3G.

The bloat and Google apps don't have unisntall options, and this is my first foray into Android 10, though I've been tinkering with Android for many years. It used to be that you could uninstall YouTube and most of the other Google apps easily and the only hard part would be removing Google Play.

I'm guessing that I would need to run some scripts via ADB, or maybe use some Magisk modules. Or maybe even EDXposed.

I know this can get pretty complex, but searching the forums gives a lot of results from 8 years ago, so I haven't found much that's relevant yet.
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
The only thing what's needed to de-bloat a phone is to root its Android this because so called bloatware typically is installed as system-privileged app what means only user having super-user rights can remove / disable those apps.

Hint: Add Note 10 Plus to this thread's title thus mainly owners of such a phone get addressed.
[General Questions and Answers] BHD@RN:
so, like the post if i helped. because i know it will help. no-root process.

problem is simple

download adb and fastboot from here

connect your phone to pc and check if adb is working by typing command adb devices

if it says waiting for device for a long time use another cable.

install this apk extractor app link ( usefull to see package names like com.android.chrome )

now, setup is ready lets uninstall those battery sucking bloatware.

enable usb debugging from developer option in settings. ( if not enabled click baseband version inside about phone section to enable it)

connect your phone to pc and type abd devices to conform if it is connected.

and then type

adb pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package name>

get package name from apk extractor and uninstall those bloatware.
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
Wondering why you suggest using this command: it's the most idiotic one I know of - yes I know it's spreaded hundreds of times on Internet and even here on XDA - when it comes to permanently uninstall an app this because this command doesn't completely uninstall an app: the data associated with the app still are kept.

The correct command is:

adb uninstall <PACKAGE-NAME>
[General Questions and Answers] BHD@RN:
hello mr.idotic who??????????

first of all understand that it's a flagship phone so no problem with storage.

secondarily, it's a powerful command so, if an important app gets deleted then the command i have provided is helpful because we can reverse it easily and have app data.

mind your language please. i was just providing my experience, if you have any good suggestions mention it properly this XDA is community of respectful developers.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Update notifications appeared, the update was recognized, but it failed instantly.

Spoiler content hidden.

I have since resolved the error by flashing a raw firmware without a wipe.

This post is for archival purposes or simply an alternative installation method

Manual Update w/ Fastboot

This process does not include a data wipe.

Wiping data should be done at your own discretion.

Grab payload_dumper (https://github.com/vm03/payload_dumper)

Download update from the Asus site (ie. WW-18.0840.2104.56)

Extract the payload.bin from update to the payload_dumper folder

Follow the instructions to run payload_dumper on the payload.bin

If you have fastboot installed (ie. Android SDK), skip this section

ASUS_Fastboot-Portable.zip | by twistedumbrella for ROG Phone 5

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

androidfilehost.com

Extract the contents to the output folder of payload_dumper

This is the same fastboot included in the raw firmware files

Once fastboot is available, you may continue the update process

Download the flash_all.sh.zip file attached to this post

Extract the script to the output folder of payload_dumper

Reboot your phone into bootloader (volume up + power)

Connect your phone and run the script (Mac / Linux)

The following errors are perfectly normal and can be ignored:

(Script updated. Flashing non-hlos image should be resolved)

FAILED (remote: 'Flashing non-hlos image is not allowed in lock state')

Invalid sparse file format at header magic

Once the phone reboots, launch settings to verify the version number

Restoring Magisk

Copy the boot.img from payload_dumper output to the phone

Run Magisk and patch the file

Copy the patched file back to the computer

Flash the boot.img with "fastboot flash boot [file name]"
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] ChrisFeiveel:
Your rog flashed 5 times with the edl repair and then tried the update, maybe something was shot by the custom kernel that you tried to flash / boot
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
No idea how that is possible. I've only flashed the repair once and the kernel was stock. Possibly something I wasn't supposed to uninstall to perform updates.

Edit: updated manually so we'll see what happens next time.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Asus took 2 days just sending the form to "officially" investigate the issue. Nobody has time for their TPS Reports, so I found a way to install the update myself.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Updating to WW-18.0840.2104.56 with this method did not restore standard installation for WW18.0840.2106.86, but the scripts have been updated to fix the non-hlos image errors, which may fix updating for future versions.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] jaleel (jelly):

Someone on zentalk stated that rolling the last number one number higher will prompt the install as well. The downside is if the next official comes in with that number you have to manual update again using the same method.

[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
They usually skip a few incremental version numbers, so it may even work without causing issues for future updates.
