[LG G8 Questions & Answers] PHANX0M:
Hello, could someone PLEASE provide me with a stock or source for stock firmware for the AT&T LG G8 Thinq (LMG820UM). I've looked everywhere and can only find the U.S. Cellular, Verizon, Sprint, and T-mobile versions (everything except what I exactly need :rolleyes:)!!!! The carrier's already unlocked. I wanna unlock the bootloader, flash custom ROMs like LineageOS (and TWRP) and root it and be able to revert back and LOCK the bootloader safely. I have LGup and other tools (though I don't know exactly what everything's for, such as firehose and other bootthings). I don't think cross flashing works and I don't want to do it anyway. Thanx!
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
Haven't seen anyone post their qfil backup of ATT rom, but it may be around. Yeah you won't find a kdz file of att rom because att doesn't allow that publicly.

Do you have att now? I'm guessing from what you say that you do, but you would like a kdz so you can go back if needed?

If you do have att, use qfil to back up ea partition individually, or use (I prefer) the bkerler edl utilities (search google), they take some effort to get up and running, but do a great job once done.

If u don't have att now... why would u want it? U may want to use them as a carrier but I'm pretty sure they still check the device imei, and if it's not one sold by them, some things *may* be restricted. I don't use them, only what I've read from others.

maybe you could explain better exactly what you want to do.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] PHANX0M:
Yeah I have the AT&T phone now, and I want the kdz but don't know how to extract that ) :

And what do you mean they don't have it publicly? What if I extract it and post it?

Do you know anywhere where I could find them? I have and android 10 one with a broken screen (which I use Vysor for) and a working android 11 one.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
you can't extract the kdz, that's not possible. You'll never find an ATT or Sprint kdz, they are simply not available, never will be, never have been.

The only thing you can do is back up what you currently have. Using qfil (look in guides section and you'll find how to set that up and use it) is probably the simplest option. You'll have to back up ea partition, and be sure to name them appropriately, as the back up doesn't do that.

Once you've done that, assuming the sim is unlocked, you can do other things you mention you want. But if the sim is not unlocked, you have to do that first, because flashing a different rom does not unlock it.

good luck
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] PHANX0M:
So if I flash something custom, and then flash the backed up EA partition, it'll have the AT&T ROM/firmware again? I assume the bootloader has to be unlocked for this?
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
You'll have to flash back all the att partitions, not just some part of them. The device won't boot otherwise. And no, the boot loader does not have to be unlocked. Look in the guides section for the 'cross flashing' guide, it will explain what you need to do to make that happen, and you'll need a kdz you want to crossflash to. If you decide to x flash to a stock rom.

If all you wan to do is a custom rom, make sure the version of whatever rom you have, including if it's the att one, matches with the custom rom you want to use.

One note though re custom roms on LG devices; you will never be able to have Volte. That's an issue for US people especially, and other countries are getting there also.

LG, in it's infinite wisdom, has their ims stack (needed for volte to work) all over the rom, people have tried to port it, but it's a proprietary implementation, and has not, and probably never will be, ported. So, if you need volte, then your only option is a stock LG rom.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] PHANX0M:
There's only ONE firehose for LG G8 Thinq all models, right? (If I even need to use that thing)

What are the EXACT things I have to back up to be able to revert back to AT&T ROM/Firmware?

So I know the T-Mobile version doesn't work with VoLTE (I've tried it myself and customer service told me I had to have them disable 3G blocker). But will the factory unlocked ROM work with it on an AT&T phone?

Even if I can't do this, is there ANY other way to go back to AT&T stock ROM/Firmware if I flash something else?
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
Yes there's only one firehose file, and it does need to be used to when using Qfil. And you need to use Qfil to back up ALL PARTITIONS (not just some, all).

I can't help with specific carrier requirements, I only have used Mint. You'll have to ask the carrier what will and won't work.

No, there is no way to go back to att stock firmware. Period. No Other Way than whats already been indicated, from a back up.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] PHANX0M:
Thank you for all the information thus far. If I restore the backup it can be completely as it was before and functional, including all data and everything? Do I have to unlock bootloader for this? And can I restore a backup from another phone (of the same model)?

Also, if I use the OPEN_CA ROM it'll let me use VoLTE?

Sorry, I'm only used to working with Xperia 😅. Flashtool with Xperifirm was so much easier 🤕
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
If you restore the backup the phone should then be back to 'stock'. The data partition backup would be probably in excess of 40 gig, no one backs those up.

No, the bootloader only needs to be unlocked if you want root access, this doesn't require root.

Volte depends on numerous things, 1 obviously being that the phone is capable of it, then the carrier has to have that capability, and it has to allow your specific device to use it on their network. I haven't used the open_ca rom so can't say, but have used the us_open in the States, and with Mint mobile it has definitely worked, as has vowifi.

good luck
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] PHANX0M:
Thank you very much, I've not found such accurate and digestible information elsewhere!

But just to be sure.... I DON'T need to backup the userdata partition? And if I do.... Can I restore it from my old Broken G8 Thinq (which's android 10) to my new one (which's android 11) if I like the apps and stuff better (Both're AT&T). Would I have to unlock the carrier of the old one first (the new one is already unlocked)?

What if it were the same android version? What if it were different preinstalled carrier?

Also does that mean someone can get all my data with use of simple EDL?
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
Sorry, I can't be of much help with something like this. I've never tried to back up user data because it's just too much data and I would just prefer to reinstall the apps. Yes, someone could put the device in edl mode and pull off the user data, but if it's a stock device, it will be encrypted.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] PHANX0M:
So you're saying if the ROM (whether stock or not) supports encryption, the data pulled will be useless? And could I restore other partitions backed up from ANOTHER of the same device (whether different android version or not)?

And it's only encrypted if there's a lock code/pattern?

And if the bootloader was unlocked someone could just flash a custom recovery and bypass the lockscreen right?

Also luckily Mint doesn't read the IMEI like greedy AT&T :cautious:
[Realme GT] Luccas Oliveira:
Can someone help me ?

I carried out the process of switching to the Indian Rom export C.17, everything went well, I received updates via Ota. I decided to install TWRP following a video on youtube now my Realme is stuck in bootloop.

I have access to fastboot mode, I can install TRWP but I don't have access to storage on RUI3.0.

The cell phone looked like this after flashing the commands:

fastboot flash boot root.img

fastboot --disable-verification --disable-verity flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

fastboot --disable-verification --disable-verity flash vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img

fastboot --disable-verification --disable-verity flash vbmeta_vendor vbmeta_vendor.img

referring to rom / root_RMX2202_12.C.04.

could someone help me please?

I can't get the unzipped files to flash the stock rom via fastboot.
[Realme GT] RMX3311:
Which Fw is now on your GT?

India C.17 ? Or India C.20 after OTA ?
[Realme GT] Luccas Oliveira:
was with india C.17, I tried flash twrp I don't have access anymore just fastboot.
[Realme GT] RMX3311:
Flash the original files first so that your GT boots again.

fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

fastboot flash vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img

fastboot flash vbmeta_vendor vbmeta_vendor.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot
[Realme GT] Luccas Oliveira:
friend could you send me these files of this rom?

.\fastboot flash boot boot.img

.\fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img

.\fastboot flash modem modem.img

I tried to start the process of an old rom IN I installed these files, I can't access twrp

Could definitely use some help here. Diving back into the android head unit game after having an AN-21U long ago. Just got a kufine ts18 unit. Thinking of returning it. I can't get Netflix or other streaming services to play because of the play protect issue, I assume. Netflix not compatible. Disney plus error 39. Anyways, I'd like to keep it, but I need to figure out if it can be rooted. Notice some options for ts10, but no specific ts18 options. Help?
[Android Head-Units] aRaychan:
The main difference between TS10 and TS18 is the CPU, in addition to the difference in the main frequency and the production process is different, TS18 is a very good entry device, of course, more mature and stable is TS10. Recently TOPWAY will also launch the new TS6 platform, there is updated news I will release a new post in XDA public, TOPWAY platform can be used normally! NETFLIX, DISNEY and other APPs
[Android Head-Units] Kidmet:
Any ideas how to get them working on the TS18 or should I just return it and go with something else?
[Android Head-Units] aRaychan:
just download install apk from internet, and install it, login your account

Can anyone help me?

I have a TS18 that I bought recently.

I was having some wifi issues, so I did a factory reset.

But after the reset, the zlink app is missing... so I don't have CarPlay now...

I'm trying to get in touch with the buyer, but no success.

Can anyone help me?
[Android Head-Units] carpalen:
Me too. Did you solved it? How?
[Android Head-Units] iskenderr:
I have T18. I have done factory reset many times. there was no problem. fake android 11 system Even if I don't understand much, I am ready to help if there is anything I can help with.
[Android Head-Units] carpalen:
Hi iskenderr. Were you able to install again zlink? I am stuck in the activation code. I've instaled several versions but is always the same. There is any other app or solution to connect your phone wireless?
[Android Head-Units] iskenderr:
TLink 1.8.6 comes installed even though I did a factory reset. I guess it registers automatically because only wifi is active.
[Android Head-Units] carpalen:
Finally, I've contacted the seller and they send me a .zip with all the preinstalled apps. I've copied them in an external memory usb and directly install the apps, in my junsun ts18, include tlink5. Everything working like the first day. Excelent service by the seller, Junsun France.
[Android Head-Units] vmichele1963:

[Android Head-Units] robfox1975:
Is anybody else having issues with navigation apps? If used normally all is ok with sound, but whenever any navigation app is set as the main navigation app it loses all sound

Its an Eonon Q03pro TS18 2.2 windowed mode latest firmware and latest mcu. These units use ilauncher themes and the windowed themes allow you to set whichever navigation app is the main one in a window on the launcher which is a great feature

I have tried Google maps, waze, tomtom go, sygic and igo all sounds and voice guidance works but only if not set as main navigation app.

Just wondered if anyone knows how to be able to set it as main system navigation but not lose sound as its pretty useless without sound
[Android Head-Units] robfox1975:
Fixed....well seems to be, found a thread on a similar problem on TS10 units so was worth a try i thought and it works....

The Solution in case it helps others

Go to Android settings -> Apps and notifications -> Advanced -> Apps with special permissions -> Access to notifications -> Uncheck "Google" option.

For some reason that service has broken notification chanel in Android sound output
[Android Head-Units] BadBiscuit:
Did you get your sound working? I too have a TS18, mine is AINAVI brand which I just finished installing. So far I've been using stock apps, and the TLink for CarPlay music and nav (Waze) using an iPhone. So far, I'm impressed, though would like to update nav and music for offline use. Perhaps you can share which Android apps you found worked best. I've installed VLC for playing video and found it to work much better than what came stock. Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
[Android Head-Units] robfox1975:
Yes I disabled Google services I think it was, I'm using sygic for nav, amazon music, the stock music player is ok apart from no search function, musicolet is good so is poweramp but unfortunately cant be displayed on music widget on homescreen but can always use another launcher like agama or car launcher pro

Hya. I guess you are one of the developers of the TS10, TS18 firmware. I'm i right?

If so, why does your firmware denies the installtion of CA digital certificates? I'm asking because i own a TS10 and a TS18 and both runs dofun firmware, and both denies the install of CA certs, blocking me out of my VPNs.

The other question is why does it avoids the autostart of apps, like tasker? And also avoids the customization of the main screen?
