[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Guille05:
I tried to crossflash my G8X to the US Open A11 software and screwed up quite badly during the process. I've had to restore my phone from having no partitions and do not have the original LUN5 files, only the 7 required for the crossflash. I've also rooted and installed twrp on this device so if anything that could help needs that I'm able to use it.

I expected the fingerprint sensor not to work, however now the light sensor, accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, etc. don't work either.

Is there something I can do to get this functionality back? I've mostly given up on fixing the imei and network issues but I would like to at least have the phone in a usable state on Wifi.

If more details are needed please do tell and I will do my best to provide them.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Surgemanxx:
What original firmware was on it?Most definitely,always make a full back up first thing.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Guille05:
It was originally on version 20p of the sprint software. And yeah, I definitely hadn't quite read up on all of the important things I needed to backup beforehand.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] mclarenf195:
The same thing happened to me, I came from a10 sprint and installed a11 from Canada, I was left without a network and without a fingerprint sensor, but the other sensors work without problem, to fix network and ntcode I think it is only possible by box, I don't know if of the fingerprint sensor is caused by the lack of serial and imei.

if you come up with a solution let me know bro
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Guille05:
Did you restore your 7 bin files after flashing the A11 software?
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Surgemanxx:
They don't have a backup,that's the reason I ask what version software it was.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Surgemanxx:
Use this firmware.It will correct your issues.

[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] mclarenf195:
I have the backup of the 7 partitions but they are useless if all the original partitions have been deleted, that is what I understand, I restored the partitions of a KDZ a10 and then flashed it to a11
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Guille05:
I've got version 30c of that firmware installed, you think going back one update would fix it?
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Guille05:
When you flashed the A10 kdz, you followed netmsm's guide right? Did you get any errors when flashing the partitions with fhloader? When I extracted the kdz a few files were missing from the ones used by that code but every kdz I've extracted doesn't have them either.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Surgemanxx:
Yes,go to 30b it will all work.I tried 30c on my sprint model,and had issues with network connectivity as well.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] mclarenf195:
I have the 30a, it would be to try
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] mclarenf195:
yes, the netmsm's guide, fhloader only use it to restore the luns, restore the kdz partitions one by one with qfil, just try what Surgemanxx suggested first and tell me how it goes.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Surgemanxx:
It works very well.I tried 30c,and noticed it was slow and laggy and rolled back to 30b and it worked flawless.Fingerprint scanning and all worked with a T-Mobile sim with no issues.They should be good with 30b,all but the IMEI issue they have.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Guille05:
All right I completely erased the flash again and reinstalled following the steps very carefully. I'm now on 30b and can confirm that the sensors work once again. Although the major issues I think were deeper than just the update, because I updated before doing a full erase and it still wasn't working. Now I just have to keep trying to fix the IMEI and FP sensor.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Guille05:
Also I think I may have found my IMEI number thanks to having the ftm partition backed up and therefore still having the serial number. The first 8 digits are always 35886110 for the LG G8x sprint model (and maybe others in the US), the next 6 are the last 6 digits of the serial and the last one is a check digit that you can look up online. I've checked the number on multiple sites and it seems legit so I hope it's actually my number. Now I'll try to write it to the phone somehow, but at least having the IMEI back is a very big step forward.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Guille05:
IMEI is fixed, or at least it appears as such in the phone. I went through with the tutty method of installing the IMEI, and after much trouble (and tutty saying error to my command to write the IMEI) I was able to restore the IMEI to the phone. I confirmed this first using EFS Pro and going into qualcomm NV tools. The IMEI was still as 0 in my phone but after putting in a sim it appeared in the OS and has stayed there. However it still appears as permanently locked when a sim is inserted and the nt-code error does still happen, so the network doesn't work yet.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Surgemanxx:
That LUNS backup is for the Sprint U.S. model G850UM9.The IMEI is stored in modemst1 and 2 which is LUNS5 that I didn't include for that reason.The NT Code error shouldn't be there if it's the same model/region.Keep me posted.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Guille05:
I've flashed your backups and the NT Code error indeed disappeared. However I've still got the perm locked error (so my doesn't work), and the fp sensor still refuses record fingerprints. Was your phone network unlocked when you made that backup? Idk if that maybe interferes with the sim or something
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Surgemanxx:
Yes,it was network unlocked for sure.You're not the only one that has faced this after trying to repair the IMEI.It's perma blocked because it's embedded in the chipset itself,and so far I haven't seen any fix for it as of yet.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Guille05:
Yeah that's probably it. I flashed the modified abl to turn it into a tmobile phone and access the hidden menu, and the NT Code there still appears as it did before flashing the sprint rom, 0 and all Fs. Guess I'll just hope somebody figures out how to fix it, in the meantime I've already ordered a replacement G8x so I've pretty much accepted this probably won't be fixed any time soon.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] samo733792:
I have exactly the same problem, after erase lun5 i loos imei, then correct it with tutty. But know network is bloked.

I read that Octopus box is helping, is somebody try?

I have z3x box, but it is not support G850 model.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] ×RaúlMX×:
Did you manage to fix the fingerprint sensor brother?
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Guille05:
Sorry for the late reply. Not at all, I never managed to fix the FP sensor nor the permanently locked error. I gave up and ended up selling the phone for cheap and bought a V60.
[Android Gaming] Pernilex:
If I wanted to run retro emulators and possibly games that might require APKS like Pokémon Trading Card Game and Magic Arena, What would be the best specs for a mobile phone for someone on a budget? I want a phone that can use a controller attachment too.

I want most games to be able to run high quality and any games that require a lot of power to run at a playable level at at least medium quality with no lag.

So not bear minimum specs for most games but maybe one notch above it. Something that's affordable.

RAM: 6/8 GB?

STORAGE: ???

GRAPHICS CARD?: ???

RELIABLE NETWORK ADAPTER (Bluetooth Controller): ???

I am also looking for a device like that that can use wasplus similar to the standard you are talking about.
[XPERIA X1 General] exxi:
Hi,

When I dispay a black background color on my X1 for example the pannel screen while it is switching to a different pannel or standard pannel I see a bit of light leakage on the top 2 corners of the screen from each side. A bit white, if you understand what i mean.

Does anyone notice that?

Thanks for the info
[XPERIA X1 General] yodafone:
Yep I notice it too. Probably a case of bad backlight LED placement.

This screen doesn't seem to have as good a contrast ratio (black levels) as the one on the Touch Pro.
[XPERIA X1 General] exxi:
it's rather massive. Its even visible on camera mode when you have wide-mode off.

I hate living with imperfection.

How bad is it on your device?

I have to say its not visible when other colors than black are displayed
[XPERIA X1 General] yodafone:
I'm probably seeing the same thing as you are - two bright areas on the top/left edge of the display.

The light is "leaking" because the display contrast isn't high enough and the screen assembly is a bit thin.

It's something I can live with, but I do wish SE had sourced for a better display. HTC has raised the bar since Diamond and Raphael, and this one is pretty good for a Windows Mobile device, but there are tons of even better screens out there - think Japanese super-keitais.
[XPERIA X1 General] erichui:
humm.. I was trying to look for the light leakage but I can't really seem to see it.... perhaps you could post some photos of what it actually looks like?
[XPERIA X1 General] jakontil:
yup, it's there
[XPERIA X1 General] dinan:
don't see any leakage on mine...
[XPERIA X1 General] Mikus:
I tried one in the shop and the screen was tilting left a little bit. Also the flip was a bit loose even in closed. Any comfirmation?
[XPERIA X1 General] exxi:
I'm pretty sure all devices have the same leakage problem. Just put on a pure black screen and look for the white cones decending from the top corners.

It's because of the led's behind the screen I guess
[XPERIA X1 General] zenkinz:
honestly, there's very little (leakage, short of better term) if not none. If you have seen TouchPro, it leaks like crazy...
[XPERIA X1 General] thomasperfecto:
Leakage is pretty terrible, no doubt about it. Wonder if this fault is only on some handsets?
[XPERIA X1 General] VaThInK:
My TP don't have this at all. Virtually no leakage. Pretty much solid black even in pitch black environment. Contrast and viewing angles are excellent. One of the best if not the best screen I've seen to date. Seems like they're using 8 bit panel instead of 6 bit TN panel. The latter have terrible contrast and viewing angle as standard.
[XPERIA X1 General] nap007:
lucky if u only seen it on top corners, mine are on all corners! :(
[XPERIA X1 General] dinan:
i don't see any leakage... went into a pitch black room and pressed the panel button and i see no white light coming out of the corners...
[XPERIA X1 General] zenkinz:
then you must have a rare TP, all the TP owners in Singapore reported to have the same leakage. that's if we are talking about the same thing with regards to light leakage...
[XPERIA X1 General] niddl:
Hi,

2 days ago a friend of me and me bougt this moblie,

yesterday i gave it back to the store, cause i've seen the white

leakage on my display too, on the devise of my friend its ok.

today I'll get a new one. Hope its ok there....

Thought it was damage or so....
[XPERIA X1 General] VaThInK:
Maybe I'm missing the point here. Do you mind posting a screen shot of the issue so we can be on the same boat? :p Now you've got me curious.
[XPERIA X1 General] thomasperfecto:
I'll try and post a photo when I get home later, mine is mainly in the bottom left half of the screen and it's really noticeable and distracting when viewing something dark.
[XPERIA X1 General] SquidgyB:
Hmmm, I've definitely noticed leakage on my xperia, in the bottom left hand corner when in landscape.

I had a Touch Pro for a few weeks before I got the xperia, and the screen on that was flawless. I might give vodafone a ring and see if I can get it replaced...
[XPERIA X1 General] exxi:
Don't forget to switch the display brightness to full to be able to observe the leakage. When I watch the Bond trailer I can definitely see the leakage on the top corners when there is a black background in the beginning. It's rather distrubing but I do believe that all devices have that in some sort of extent. I think you just have to get used to it and live with it.
[XPERIA X1 General] dinan:
Oh. For the bond trailer I did notice a white line going across the top of the screen (the left of the screen when held in landscape) that I pretty much attributed to poor video playback. In Coreplayer I can get these kinds of lines going across the edges of the screen when I try to play almost any video...

Other than that I never see any white areas along the edges so I'm pretty sure it's a video playback bug.
[XPERIA X1 General] exxi:
yeah i noticed the white line thats a video think but I am talking about actual light leakage. I guess if you have a device that doesnt have that you are very lucky. even with the light leakage I have to tollerate that. I already exchanged my device for a different reason (messed up keyboard) they old device had the same light leakage just not that intense.

Looks like its a standard thing
[XPERIA X1 General] dwd:
f00k,, why did you guys have to bring this up =) , i saw it at first but thought it was because i have the screen protector still on,(waiting for a real one), removed it and saw that in the top right corner there is massive leakage. =/

it is not a problem when using the device, but when watching a move or using the camera there is no way of not seeing it.
[XPERIA X1 General] exxi:
dwd, you have what I call NDOCD ( New Device Obsessive Compulsive disorder ) :P

I have the same, I already returned my previous device for a weird sound the keyboard made when the cover pressed on it while it was closed. Turned out the keyboard was really defect because it was lit only very slightly. My old device had the leakage also but not as bad as the new one.

You are right, the leakage is very distracting when watching movies but I think that most devices have that and that after a while you don't notice it anymore.

I am not going to exchange it again.
[XPERIA X1 General] zenkinz:
dont have a picture, but by light leakage, I am assuming that if you look at the phone from the side when the phone is lying on the flat surface, you see light emitting from the edge of the LCD screen, when the display is turned on.

on the Touch Pro, there's excessive white light emitted from the edge. on Xperia, there's still light on the edges, but not as much.
[XPERIA X1 General] SquidgyB:
Lol, now this is getting confusing! :)

The leakage I 'm getting is not what you just described there. I know what you mean though, I remember on my TP that if you viewed the screen at an angle you could see a fair bit of the backlight LED coming from behind the edge of the screen.

The leakage I'm getting on the xperia looks more like a slight milkyness or cloudyness on the actual screen itself, most visible when the screen is displaying black, especially when it is switched on, playing movies, and you can even sometimes notice it when on the home screen in windows, as the black bar containing contacts etc shows the problem, but it's difficult to spot like that.

If I can get a decent picture of it then I'll post one later.
[XPERIA X1 General] exxi:
Thanks more what I mean by light leakage, its concentrated on the top 2 corners of the screen. The light that you see when you look at it from the side is normal.
[XPERIA X1 General] dwd:
Hahhaha, yea, i could have that disorder =).

Gone through a couple of wm/ppc devices over the years, but have not seen this kind of leakage.
[XPERIA X1 General] VaThInK:
This is my understanding as well when it comes to light leakage, just like on LCD monitors. Luckily, my TP doesn't have this defect at all. Not the slightest light bleed present. Totally pitch black on the edges even on pitch black environment. Maybe different batch got manufacturing defects or something? Sounds like HTC QC department aren't doing a good job at all.
[XPERIA X1 General] mobmanX:
Well I can just about see that the top corners of the screen are slightly brighter when the screen is on full brightness (which it never is in real use) and when i'm in a pitch black room ( i'm almost never in a pitch black room - and if i was then "light leakage" would be the least of my worries).

But seeing as i'm going to switch my x1 soon i am worried that my replacement may display worse simptoms.
[XPERIA X1 General] fhsieh:
My UK Touch Pro, for reference:
[XPERIA X1 General] exxi:
Thanks for the photo but that is not what we mean by light leakage. Its more the milky black that you see. It's like a white spot

Let me show you an example

Thats a classic example of light leakage in TN pannels

http://www-personal.umich.edu/~okiley/laptop/IMG_2507.jpg
[XPERIA X1 General] fhsieh:
Yes, I know, I was just putting it up for reference since there was confusion about comparing it with the Raphael's light leakage. ;)
[XPERIA X1 General] exxi:
Indeed, I just got my replacement and it is MUCH MUCH worse. Now you can even see it with minimal brightness and it's really disturbing.

Sony really got some quality issues. I will return it for good
[XPERIA X1 General] dbond45:
Just got my X1a,

Horrible light leakage in the two upper corners. Radiates down about a half inch on each side. My X1i has slight light leakage, but this is 2-3 times worse.

When I put both phones side by side and make the screen black it is really evident.

Hopefully I can find a way to get this exchanged or repaired...
[XPERIA X1 General] trinode:
On mine it's particularly noticable during camer mode and on the startup screen.

There was once a HTC that had screen problems that were caused by pressure on the screen due to a seal which you could break by sliding a thin bit of plastic all the way around under the edge of the screen frame.

Tried that, it's not a fix, or I did it wrong :(

It really does look like pressure on the screen though, pressing slightly on the frame on the affacted (top right on mine) corner makes it visibly worse.

[XPERIA X1 General] joebob1:
I'm on my 3rd exchange because of the light leakage.........going to try one more time:confused:
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
it only happens when the screen is black?
[XPERIA X1 General] matthewpapa:
i thought i was the only one.

well at least we can all suffer together.

Usually LCDs displaying black have a big problem with this. Its unfortunate but true. I only notice mine in the panel main screen or when a movie has been 'letterboxed.' It bothered me a lot when I first got it but it seems that either i notice it a lot less now because ive owned it longer or that the tension on the screen has been relieved a bit.
[XPERIA X1 General] mr_sheen:
i was pretty pissed off when i saw this leakng thing on my x1. But after about a month, i think i got over it..LOL...

Customer Centre in my country never heard of this problem either. Pretty silly because you can see this problem creeps up all over the internet
[XPERIA X1 General] joebob1:
this sucks, my 3rd exchange has the same issue (it looks like the frame is pushing down on the screen). I think for now I'm just gonna return it. :(

does anyone know::confused:

is this happening to both X1i and X1a (I been having the issue with the X1a)?

is this happening to just the new batch that the stores are getting? or back when it first came out?
[XPERIA X1 General] Xeon_IV:
Same issue

My X1i has it as well as my X1a that I just got from best buy. This may be the case were we would like to flip upside down and find made in china ( light don't bleed through lead ).

[Cricket Dream 5G] :
Reserved-2...
[Cricket Dream 5G] :
hmm, not sure why some releases are a bad thing.....
[Cricket Dream 5G] rczrider:
Not sure how or why, either.

I haven't gotten the Dream, yet, so to be clear: the phone is rootable, bootloader unlockable, and has custom ROMs? And still works on Cricket?

If so, that's amazing for an entry-level "free" phone from an MVNO!
[Cricket Dream 5G] :
Yes to everything you said above. I'm running an android 12 gsi rom as my daily.
[Cricket Dream 5G] hawk1500:
So sorry, I forgot about locking the bootloader that'll cause the "no os" message when I was trying to reset it to stock to sell.

What can I do to get it to boot into the OS again? The bootloader is locked, so I couldn't do most of what people said since it required flashing. I did download this tool and fired it up in Linux. Fastboot detects the phone, but setting up the mtk client resets in "missing setup.py" and using the "unbrick menu" doesn't do anything. I am using the 0.02 files.

TIA
[Cricket Dream 5G] :
check the setup for mtkclient on github
[Cricket Dream 5G] hawk1500:
Hello, yeah, so I had gotten it to install, and I tried running both the shorter and the longer unbricking procedure, but there was no change and still gives me the no os message on bootup.
[Cricket Dream 5G] Mikeo31:
On my Dream 5g I got a dm verity corrupt error which will not let me boot into system it just freezes on the android splash screen after pressing enter to continue. Since the bootloader is locked i cannot do the correct thing and flash the Vbmeta file as needed. Fastboot Flashing unlock states unknown command error yet fastboot flashing lock works just fine. I assume thats because the OS is outputting the oem unlock and usb debugging is off or not present. I'm not sure how to get past this at this point. It all started with an FRP lock that was stubborn.
[Cricket Dream 5G] sonicra:
ArrowOS Custom GSI - Android 12,

It works excellent, the only problem is that it is not compatible with Mario Kart Tour.

Does anyone know if there is an updated rom compatible with MKT?
