[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] azuosd:
I got a LM-V600TM locally in Canada and it will not OTA from Android 10 (says its up to date), patch level: Feb 1 2020, Software version: V600TM07a

LG Bridge says 'cannot check software version' so I can't update thru there.

looking at https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-lmv600tm-firmwares/ how could I tell if I'm choosing the correct one?, as my IMEI comes up with a few options

e.g. could I use this one to go to Android 11?

LG V600TM | LG V60 | Version: V600TM20n_00_OPEN_CA_OP_0209 | Firmware for Region: CAN from - Lg-firmwares.com

or this for Android 12 since its from Aug 2022?

lgrom.com shows this for my IMEI:

Model: IOT_LMV600TM

Region: CAN

Suffix: ACANOP
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Royaltiger:
IMEI has little do. As long as you know who is your carrier then just get that firmware.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] azuosd:
Unfortunately there is no carrier bloatware that I can identify which one, just some games install on factory reset. Also no splash screen at restart and it is unlocked, tried 2 different SIMs that work fine.

I assume its not carrier-locked so maybe any Canadian firmware will do?
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] azuosd:
Confirmed not carrier specific for CAN firmware, so I upgraded to A12. Recommend using Lgup 1.16.3 1.3.2 from Leronex_1 -worked like a charm.

Glad that you got it to work. Have fun. Can I trouble you to ask where you managed to buy a Canadian Unlocked version of V60. I have been looking for one and still unsuccessful. All I get to see in USA versions and sketchy demo models.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] azuosd:
just local craigslist not online. I think you could find one searching through local buy/sell ads. At first I thought I got a T-Mobile one as it does have TM in the model, but it wasn't

Hi, I successfully flashed my NE2210 (ColorOS) to NE2213 (OxygenOS) using the same tool. Just check the "Ignore unknown partitions" and click again on "Flash Payload.bin" to start flashing. It worked for me but take your own risk bro.

What firmware did you use. Where did you obtain it?
[OnePlus 10 Pro] biglo:
I used the rollback firmware that was provided by Oneplus (EU version). I actually found the link here on XDA. I used the EU version.

After flashing I was on A.11. I updated to A.15 but the OTA update failed and the full package was provided and installed successfully afterward. Later in the day I got a prompt for the A.16 update and was able to update using the OTA file.

I am also rooted at the moment as well.

You can find the link I used here.

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Sathelp:
Also if you are just worried about status bar burn in or just to hide it except on pull down, you could use nova launcher and select hide status bar.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] TheMattMercy:
I use Nova Launcher, and I did on my OnePlus 7 Pro as well & used the "hide status bar" on Nova, but still got burn in from when my status bar would be visible on other apps - but I didn't on my navbar since I used/use Pie Controls.

I eventually started using immersive mode on that phone, but by then it was too late. Granted I used that phone for a little over 3 years & I needed a new phone anyway so it is what it is, just had to deal with that ugliness for a while.

This is on a new level entirely - it makes the status bar hidden until you pull it down on every app (unless you make exceptions).

In fact, this even frees up the extra 1/2cm that the statusbar takes up on Nova Launcher with hidden status bar enabled, as seen below:

Hi,

No problem, be cool. Few months ago I had this problem and was solved.

Just connect the device with bootloader onscreen (RGB). You will see USB on bottom. Flash the official ROM.

After your device is stable, you can flash to any custom ROM.

Thanking You
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] goldenarmZ:
I've just posted this in another thread but I'll give you the same reply..

Try starting in bootloader mode then flashing the Wizard Love rom using the included RUU, or failing that Mun's RUU (included with WizFlo).

http://rapidshare.com/files/17792050/Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii_CF2.rar

You need to start the phone in bootloader mode without the usb cable plugged in, give it a few seconds, then plug the cable in.. wait for the USB icon to appear in the bottom left corner, then start your RUU. I've found that the order is very important when dealing with unflashable wizards.

I've unbricked my phone twice with this method.. You could flash Wizard Love to a loaf of bread if you could get the cable to stick in it.

---

I used this to recover a flash that died at 10%, when I couldnt even get the official rom to work, so hopefully it should help you.

Hi all,

Has anyone else tried to use titanium backup to restore some app data with Android 13, the moment I restore the app data only the app then instant crashes when trying to open the app?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] fil3s:
I have titanium but haven't used it in years. I backup with syncthing and multiple cloud solutions and let google one take care of the apps

Swift backup will work as it should. Tb was last updated in 2019. Maybe titanium isn't updated for a13
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] swieder711:
I have switched from TiBu to Swiftbackup. I suggest that you do the same.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MadMan29729:
titanium backup hasn't been updated since Nov 24, 2019, as previous comments suggest swift backup works well!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] beaverhead:
swiftbackup or alpha backup pro.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] yyz71:
Swift back up for the win💯
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] whatsisnametake2:
swift for sure. I still use titanium for freezing apps tho.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] card13:
Titanium started having issues on Android 10 and that's when I moved to Swift. Be careful of this recent change, if you use Google Authenticator then you need to manually Export the codes to another device, then Import them back in later or move to another Authenticator like Aegis, this is per the Swift Telegram Chan.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] danw_oz:
Yeah, thanks guys for your feedback, I had no issues with Titanium even in android 12, I will restore what I want onto an older Pixel 4XL running anroid 12 then try switft backup.

Thanks again everyone.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] danw_oz:
Yes I did notice this new change with google auth just yesterday when I was looking at it.

Microsoft Authenticator worked fine, and as you suggest google have screwed me over, will not longer use their authentication unless I have no other choice now, was previously the other way around
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] card13:
@danw_oz The change that screwed us over was made on Google's side. Google forced the app to encrypt the codes in a special way that Swift can't read it. Aegis was suggested by the Swift dev because it is directly compatible with Google Auth API and is able to do Exports and backups.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] danw_oz:
I have been able to restore a previous google auth app, which is why I didn't even think of looking into this, so really p!ssed about it, I think I have another backup, not the fresh one I took prior to factory reset with this new stupid google auth app, why we can't just auto back these up to google account encypted is beyond me.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] danw_oz:
LOL, have to laugh or I will cry. In big red writing at the top of swift backup, google authenticator. I wish titanium backup had stopped working for me years ago, and I wouldn't be in this mess with google authenticator
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bush911:
I previously used titanium for freezing apps too, yesterday I tried the swift, which also can do the freezing job.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] whatsisnametake2:
I didn't notice that. I just looked at swift however and I see that it's not seeing my renamed frozen magisk app.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bush911:
Maybe you should toggle "show system apps", which is in the settings ->App backups section
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] whatsisnametake2:
yeah it's already set to show all apps

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
Open source: you can read the code and know exactly what its doing. Even if YOU didn't read it, somebody did, and its a much bigger risk for author to sneak in bad stuff, so they don't.

Closed source: no idea what the heck its doing. Probably committing identity theft and selling your daughter to someone in Cambodia.

So its obviously completely clear WHY you should care, but why ESPECIALLY for THIS program? How about the fact that it has a SUBSTANTIALLY higher risk being something that has root access to your phone?

And if "almost every app a user will install" is closed.... you seriously need to reevaluate where you are getting software from.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MadMan29729:
you really think whether you use open source vs closed source that it's somehow going to stop a hacker for doing what they do best? Open source just makes it easier because they have open access to the code and most people wouldn't even know what they are reading so they could be looking at the code of a malicious app and wouldn't even know it
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mcfisch:
Security by obscurity is an illusion. However, an application doesn't get magically more secure because of being open source, but the fact that code can be vetted by anyone does make it harder for developers to plant malicious code in their apps. It also makes it easier for all involved people to find security (or any) bugs. This isn't the case with closed source software, though this doesn't implicate by no means that developers not publishing their code would be automatically evil or not trustworthy.

A hacker can use gaps in both kinds of code, but with a closed source app it might take longer for anyone to notice something is happening.

However, I don't think that this is the right place to judge people on their choice of software, though mentioning the fact that something is open source as well as pointing out the issues with closed source when it comes to the core of a system with root access is indeed legitimate.

I for once appreciate the mentioning of all these as I didn't use the good old Titanium Backup for quite some time, but I will need something that works with A13 now that I'm finally going to root my phone again...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] danw_oz:
I have installed and used Swift for backup, looks good so far. Just need to now get to try the restores.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Zehlek:
Neo backup is good but unfortunately you can't back up any app with 4GB data or more which I need
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
This isn't about hackers. This is about the software itself potentially doing something evil.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jult:
Now you tell me. Piece of garbage titanium backup pro ruined my Authenticator. None of the 2FA's work anymore after restoring the app. That's just freaking ultra annoying. I hate both google and TB.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jult:
No, it's not. https://jult.net/2001/05/19/security-by-obscurity
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mcfisch:
It is. You believing differently doesn't change the fact. You even "argument" with the example of "magicians" whose whole thing literally is illusions.

Almost every single severe security breach (aside from phishing) we get to learn about involves undisclosed/unknown flaws in products, services and networks - the direct proof that just because the general public doesn't know about then doesn't mean they can't be exploited.

Advising to rely on this outdated and busted "security" approach is plain out dangerous and ignorant.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bush911:
What i was wondering is whethere there is any other alternatives to Titanium Backup and Swiftbackup.

I wanted to do a FULL backup of my phone to PC, this kind of backup should include the whole system, user apps, sd card content etc.

Recently I often change between develop support buid and public buid, ever time I l have to backup via Titanimu or Swiftbackup and copy user data, which takes forever.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:

Partition sizes can change. Between phones, even possibly between OS versions. There's also the issue of imaging/restoring a running system. Other than that, please do provide detail. What about rsync'ing writeable stuff like /data, at least when expecting to restore to the same phone/OS version?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You'll have to Google for the ADB command. I haven't used it other than fooling with it a long time ago, so I don't remember what it is off the top of my head.

It shouldn't be hard to find.

I use Swift Backup on a nightly schedule, so I haven't looked into any other methods.

I know it's a contentious issue open vs closed software. It's a raw subject but not the subject of this thread, personally I'd like to return to the thread's subject as rode and mike are doing. Much love
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Dataman100:
That's what I used to use TWRP for. It was available for my previous LG and Samsung phones. It was nice to be able to do a complete image backup. Like using "Ghost" on Windows in the old days. It saved my bacon several times. When I did an upgrade, and something happened, I'd just restore the previous image and I was back up and running while I tried to figure out what happened.

I picked the P6P because of it's ease of rooting and I figured they'd release a TWRP shortly after launch. It's been almost a year and still nothing. Probably not going to see it for this phone. I have everything backed up with Ti and Swift but it's all individual apps/data, not an image, so restoring will take quite a while. When I do the update every month, I just 🤞and hope it goes ok. If not, I'm out a phone for hours while I rebuild and restore. This will probably be my last phone without TWRP.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
No, it certainly IS the subject of this thread.

The thread is asking about an unmaintained closed source program.

Well guess what? That is yet another major limitation of closed source software. If it requires an update, you depend on the original author to make it. Open source software does not have this limitation -- it can be picked up by anyone, including a BUNCH of people, who push it forward, as is explicitly the case with the case with the software I recommended -- Neobackup. Its been held and maintained by several developers and has even had a few different names attributed to it over the years.

Its alive and growing BECAUSE it is open source!
