[General Questions and Answers] Light05:
I was trying to flash a rom in TWRP and received and error - This was the error "Failed to mount '/system' (Invalid Argument).

I then Advanced>Wipe> Delvik, Cache, Data, Internal storage, System and Vendor (a few times). Then i went to the System Partition and Repaired it, then changed the file type from EXT4 to EXT2 then back to EXT4 and rebooted the phone.

The screen does not want to turn on now, the tablet does come on and i am able to send Fastboot commands to it.

What ive tried

1. Holding the power button till it turns off and on.

2. Plugging in the charger and then holding the power button to cycle power.

3. Opened the tab and removed the battery, held the power button, reconnected the battery and turned the device on.

4. Disconnected the battery and plugged into computer.

5. Shorted the Test point and connected the device to the PC (once with the battery connect and without it connected).

6. Reloaded the bootloader with fastboot.

7. Tried to flash TWRP and stock recovery (i did the steps that would put the phone into fastboot mode but im not 100% if it actually goes into Fastboot mode), i get the following error - "FAILED (remote: partition length get error)".

The device receives fastboot commands without me having to attempt to put into into fastboot mode (i.e. Once the device turns on, it receives fastboot commands).

8. I tried to recover using HiSuite but it says that my device is not supported (after i loaded LineageOS to the device, my Tab was being identified as a P8 Lite on my PC, i think this may be the reason why HiSuite says its not supported).

9. Removed the screens connector (with battery connector disconnected) and did a power cycle, then reconnected both.

I don't have access to the Internal storage or SD card when the device is connected to my PC.

Im not sure what else to do, im hoping that some one can help me with this.

As I can see you're proud owner of a totally bricked tablet.

My recommendation: Take it to authorized servíce center and let them try to fix it.
[General Questions and Answers] Light05:
Hahaha, thank you thank you, i do appreciate the humor. I would most likely avoid the service center option, it would probably cost me the same amount or less to buy a new motherboard and install (also probably less time and stress).
[General Questions and Answers] Light05:
For anyone that may come across this thread, i havent been able to fully try this method, but i think the below guide may be a solution to unbricking your Mediapad (possibly other devices if you loosely use the same methods).

Thanks or reading my entire message :rolleyes:. Besides the fact that I said I already looked at TomTom and the current version doesn't have US maps yet, and the fact that I was also looking for expense software, your comments were very helpful. Most appreciated.

You asked what is the best, your question leaded that you wanted a opinionated answer, I gave you one. Yes the current version (7) does not have updated maps, wanna know why? then search. However the previous version does have updated maps available. So you asked a opinionated question and I gave you a opinionated answer.

Hello everyone.

I am new here and i am sorry in advance if i did something wrong. i will come directly to the point.

model number:

LG V20 T-MOBILE VERSION, H91820H, Currently on oreo android 8.

PROBLEM THE NETWORK IS LOCKED AND NO SERVICE ...i have tried TO FLASHE WITH THIS FILE '' LG_V20_Lte-A_H918_LGH918_H91810j_00_1216.zip'' when i finish it my PHONE don't turn on '' HARD BRIK ''

MY QUESTION IS can this device BE UNBRIKED OR NOT

any help will be appreciated.

regards.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Descent2:
Hello and welcome to XDA!

Unfortunately, I have a very bad news for you. AFAIK your device cannot be unbricked other than by LG service center. Here is why:

H918 uses "anti roll back" versioning. This is so-called ARB version. The supposed reason is to prevent an attacker from rolling back your device to a version of firmware older than that where a significant security patch was once issued. At that point the ARB version is incremented. So, like from ARB0 to ARB1. (I am not aware of ARB2 yet for H918.)

When the ARB version is incremented (by flashing a newer KDZ that contains the update or by OTA), the process literally destroys some small fuses in a special memory chip called QFPROM (Quick Fuse Programmable Read Only Memory). After this point the fuses are burnt for good and cannot be restored, and this is the intent of the entire ARB system.

Now. If you decide to actually do what this ARB was designed to prevent in the first place, and load an earlier version on a device that had already been loaded with a later version of ARB, during the boot the device will check the new version and compare it with the one that a row of burned and remaining fuses just like ones and zeroes represent. If the fuses represent a later version than the version currently loaded the boot is stopped.

As far as I understand, the boot process is stopped at such an early stage that even the re-flash back to an older version is not possible as the system wasn't allowed to boot far enough to work with the flasher.

What you did wrong was you were on version 20h (which is ARB1), and you flashed (loaded) the firmware version 10j (which was ARB0). (Look: G_V20_Lte-A_H918_LGH918_H91810j_00_1216.zip. The ARB version was incremented from firmware version 10o to 10p, so 10p and all versions after that were already an ARB1. So, you did exactly what ARB was intended to prevent and now it killed your device.

I do not know if a QFLASH is a separate chip and could be replaced for a new one or not. Maybe this is exactly what a LG Service Center does. Don't know how much that cost. Don't know if there is LG service anymore as they just announced that LG is no longer in phone business.

I am not someone who knows everything. This is what I know so far. This could be wrong, but by all I've read here this is true. I suggest searching more, now that you know what happened. Now you know at least what to search for and how to explain what happened. Maybe there is some sort of exploit found that would allow to at least flash back to older release, ARB1, which is any firmware version from 10p and thru 20h that are available from here: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h918tn-firmwares/

Don't throw the phone away. On eBay, even a dead h918 is for sell at $40 for parts. Just so you know.

Good luck

[HTC Excalibur] Lord_Foul:
Pardon the silly question, but would the size of the ROM be indicative of the size in memory when installed? I ask because when looking at the "vanilla" ROMs the file size is not much smaller than or sometimes large than other ROM versions? Ive played with a few of the versions (both Kavanna and Rickys) and am still searching for the most memory ;) Im not real "feature" dependant. Basically office and a PDF reader is all I need.
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
No the RAM is how much memory resources you are using.
[HTC Excalibur] Lord_Foul:
Ok, does the ROM size determine how much "program memory" is used? Rather than install all 32 different ROMs, Im trying to determine how much "program memory" the ROM uses (there by determining how much "free memory" will be available) by the size of the ROM file before installation. I hope that made it a bit clearer.
[HTC Excalibur] Lord_Foul:
Ok, maybe I take a different angle, which ROM leaves the most program memory after installation? I do need a PDF reader and office. Anything else is just fluff.

I have managed to get kernel 4.4 working on capricorn, all features are working including fingerprint sensor. The latest 4.8 version (and all future versions) have FBE (file based encryption) enabled, which is easier to work with and use than traditional FDE (full disk encryption) in previous Android versions. Because of this change, you MUST use the FBE enabled TWRP recovery linked above in order to access your files in recovery mode. In case you missed it, here is the link again:

FBE enabled TWRP: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=7161016148664781581

If you are coming from a 3.18 based ROM (you probably will be lol) you MUST format your internal storage directly after flashing the ROM. Backup anything important first.

Source code related to the 4.4 bringup (including kernel source, device trees and HALs) are available here:

lithium-4-4-project has 20 repositories available. Follow their code on GitHub.

I know this may sounds like the usual not unchecking the advanced network tick box but I promise I've tried everything to get my hermes to sync and it won't

situation is I've upgraded to a 6.1 ROM and WMDC (Vista Ultimate 32) says connecting (the device is installed on first connection) and then as it gets to the point where it would normally ask you to set up the partnership, it goes back to not connected. The phone has the two arrows still there like it is connected.

I've ruled out most things and have been trawling around the forums but I've just reached a dead end.

I don't think it's the USB as it does the same thing with bluetooth.

I don't think it's the computer because I recently changed my machine (same OS though)

I don't think it's the phone because it's actually a replacement after my screen broke on my original

I even don't think it's the ROM because no one else has this trouble in the thread ([20755] [OPTIMIZED Manilla2d IS HERE!][09/29](AlmostNak3d)(V8))

I've also tried uninstalling WMDC as much as is possbile on Vista and I've tried disabling the windows firewall

It's so frustrating, as I seem to have 6.0 working no probs but that ROM is just so good I have to have it (but with some contacts would be best)

The only thing that I can think of is that I flash the ROMS through an XP machine. This can't be causing the issue can it?

Any help gratefully received. I determined that this phone stays with me until the HD comes out and it really doesn't have long to go now

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] scousemartin:
Have you tried deleting all partnerships on the phone and computer and then tried to sync it. I have the same rom as you and device and i have problems only when i try to sync via bluetooth. Check the com port for the bluetooth is not conflicting with the WMDC. You could even try disabling the bluetooth comport and see if that makes a difference

If it syncs with an xp machine, why dont you try, exporting the contacts as comma seperated values(windows) and then import them on to the xp machine, at least that way you will have your contacts on the phone.

Also why do you flash with the xp machine and not vista, have you installed all updates in vista?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] stanleywinston:
thanks for the reply SM. Sorry for the delay in my response but I've been sunning in the maldives! I got things going before leaving (so i had some contacts) by doing pretty similar to what you suggested. I sync the xp machine with the vista machine and then sync the phone with the xp machine. I've tried deleting the partnerships on both sides (i've even tried reinstalling vista) but I'll give the removing of the bt com ports a go i think.

my flashing from xp was just a historic thing. i think there may have been an issue with vista once as i was staying away from it for some reason but after my previous post i actually think i did then flash from vista
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] + Que PPC:
Upgrade with vista?

Upgrade with vista? its posible I think it has issues...

I can recomend to you...

1.- download again the usb drivers for your Motherboard on XP machine...

2.- Even if you have Windows Vista you can aquire a XP emulator for Win vista and do these things.

3.- If you dont ant to install again the drivers for USB ports so....

restart your PC and your PPC witout unplug your PPC let it boots togheter... it fix my trouble with the same ROM you have...
