Korean versions typically have the option to bootloader unlock from the get go. I just got my velvet 2 pro. Going to tinker with it but will most likely not go too far. There's no backups or kdz available for these.

The very first thing I'd do was try every lg firehose I could find and see if anything works. If you one that works please post about it.

If you find a hose I'll buy one. This phone has great specs.
[LG Velvet Guides, News, & Discussion] R800x_user:
It doesn't have physical buttons besides the power button. Not sure if I could boot to download mode yet. If I can I can dump the files. Will keep posting on this thread since there's no official velvet 2 threads

[LG Velvet Guides, News, & Discussion] Vuche:
Wow, I didn't know they released a Velvet 2 Pro model! Apparently not too officialy since there has been no kdz update.

I really don't get what strategy LG had with it's mobile phones. While they still were in business, they never updated the firmwares the way they should have if they had ever cared for the buyers. But just before stopping business, they released the Velvet, the Wing and almost released the extendable screen model. I have a few Velvets (with second screen cover) & a Wing and they were still updated until now, although I suspect support might have ended now (no more updates since august, july 1 2023 security patch).

They did at the end what anyone would have loved to see before: good powerfull phones with enough storage + microSD card slot + audio jack (for the Velvet at least) and support for Android updates long enough to want to buy another device from this brand.

The only bad thing is they stopped the bootloader unlock program. They should just give us an app to unlock our bootloaders and open source the latest firmware so that we can enjoy using our phones a little longer with developpers getting LineageOS or GSI or any other ROMs on those devices.

Anyway, keep posting what you manage to do with your Velvet 2s. Snapdragon 888 and apparently better camera, wow!

Does it work with the second screen cover of the Velvet 1? Seems to have the same size and shape.
[LG Velvet Guides, News, & Discussion] R800x_user:
Well it wasn't released to the public, only LG employees had the first dibs. I happened to find a listing on eBay that has almost 10 of them. They're almost sold out by now. low key thought it was a scam to be honest but it showed up. As far as I know, there is no firehose available for this. Not sure how to get to EDL mode since it doesn't have physical buttons. I so far have managed to get to the LG recovery, fastbootd. Can't seem to get to the bootloader quite yet. The option is available in developer options though. wish it had a headphone jack that's for sure. I used to have the TM velvet but it got ran over and never got a replacement. Maybe down the road I'd get another velvet to compare them side by side. Also the cameras aren't that great even though it's primary camera is 64mp, the wide angle is okay and the telephoto is decent.
[LG Velvet Guides, News, & Discussion] Vuche:
Thanks for the update! LG really had some good stuff almost ready to ship, too bad...
[LG Velvet Guides, News, & Discussion] hannor:
Thank you for the feedback! 2 major takeaways:

1. NO HEADPHONE JACK

2. Dual Screen for the Velvet 1 will NOT work with this, since Velvet 2 does not have physical buttons at all.
[LG Velvet Guides, News, & Discussion] hooutoo:
BTW, I got the exact same error when trying to dump my v2p.
[LG Velvet Guides, News, & Discussion] R800x_user:
Did you manage to get the KDZ dumper working? I noticed that your version pulled the DLL, that might be needed in the LG up/common directory to allow LG up to unlock the dump option maybe?
[LG Velvet Guides, News, & Discussion] hooutoo:
I hope you get the dump option working. I really need those files. I tried 2 different v700n .kdz which didn't work so I got a real problem.

[LG Velvet Guides, News, & Discussion] hooutoo:
A telegram user, @COR3mE, sent me this attached pic along with what I'm guessing is his facebook page:

https://www.facebook.com/pilytam?mibextid=ZbWKwL

You can search for Velvet 2 Pro on this site. I think the real owner of this site is Phan Văn Tâm, a long time seller of LG repair sevices. I asked both about the firehose and 9008 mode. He didn't respond to my request for the firehose and just gave a one work responce to me asking how to get into EDL (9008), "Testpoint". Nothing about where the testpoints are!

The other telegram user who said he had the firehose, @UnlockLG, is the owner of the telegram channel LG V60 - Velvet - Wing. He gave me the eng abl. He also said he would share the Firehose but so far NADA.

If you look at the files in the picture there's an .srf (system restore file) file type which is used with Octoplus and others I beleive. I'm pretty sure the hose has to be in there.
[LG Velvet Guides, News, & Discussion] hooutoo:
Can you please take a picture of what you think are the two testpoints. To short use a pair of tweezers and touch the two dots (points). One side of the tweezer to one dot and the other side of the tweezer to the second dot. On the v60 is was pretty simple once you found the 2 dots (testpoints).
[LG Velvet Guides, News, & Discussion] hooutoo:
You do realize that there's a user, @Wh4tN0w, over on telegram channel "Emanuel's Hub for LG SDM845", that says he has it too! What really pisses me off is this a guy who lurks (sometimes post) on your channel, gathers a lot of info from some very knowledable people over there but then refuses to share anything. BTW, I've ask him for the firehose and he doesn't even bother to reply.

Search Marketplace for "Beebplayer"

Works well over WiFi - No download and its not offical.
[G1 Apps and Games] Billthe4th:
Has anyone got this working on 3G in the UK? Or anywhere for that matter?

I keep getting "Cannot play this video" which apparently means the carrier does not support iPlayer (?)

Does this mean that T-Mobile UK block the iplayer ports? Could we get this to work with an ssh tunnel or something?
[G1 Apps and Games] estecman:
It doesnt seem to be in the market anymore????

Anyone have the apk?

Cheers
[G1 Apps and Games] Billthe4th:
It is still in the market, just a bit hard to find. You need to search for 'beebplayer'

Attached the apk (zipped) anyway.
[G1 Apps and Games] estecman:
Cheers for the zip!!!

Thats totally weird I did of course carefully search for beebplayer and I never got a hit?!

Anyway I'll try the apk, thanks.
[G1 Apps and Games] deadite66:
for any who can't get it to work, it needs 1.5 firmware.
[G1 Apps and Games] leoni1980:
This is an impressive implementation, and the only choice to hand, however as the owner of both an iPhone 3g and a white G1 i have to say the the comparison between the two shows up just how much better the iPhone h.264 streams are to the mobile streams used via the mobile iPlayer portals.

It's a shame these streams can't be utilised by the developer, but I imagine the G1 just doesn't have good enough graphics acceleration to cope with it
[G1 Apps and Games] johnsto:
Getting the iPhone streams on there was my first choice - in fact all the code to resolve the streams is in beebPlayer but unused. The problem is that the G1 can't play the iPhone streams.

Actually, the G1 is more than powerful enough. The problem is that the iPhone streams are in a .MOV container that the G1 video player can't decode. It's annoying - it's SO close to being MP4 which would be perfect, but of course Apple had to ruin the party!
[G1 Apps and Games] leoni1980:
Does that mean if the streams weren't in a .mov container we'd be able to use the direct iPhone iplayer page using the Steel browser and the iPhone user agent spoof option?

That would be pretty cool.

Impressed as I am with this app the mobile streams are just too poor for me.
[G1 Apps and Games] Billthe4th:
Hi DaveJ!

Is there any chance you could put server/port options in beebplayer (or release source code) so that I can play around with getting it to work through a proxy? I'd love to be able to use this app over 3G...

Thanks for making a great app! (and great maps ;))
[G1 Apps and Games] johnsto:
Nearly... the next issue there would be to deal with the media player spoofing, as iPlayer checks the HTTP request and expects it to be exactly the same request and behaviour as the QuickTime player on the iPhone, and is actually the trickiest bit to copy.

In Python, this was fairly easy to forge. On Android's Java however, it likes to make forging this very difficult and is what gave me most of my problems when I last tried it.

This is theoretically possible, but is actually pretty similar to the iPhone media player problem - it would need a custom video player app, rather than the one built-in to Android that beebPlayer currently uses (beebPlayer never touches the video streams itself.)

I'm already toying with the idea of a custom video player which would deal more pleasantly with errors (particularly "Video cannot be played" could use a better description!) but it's not my priority right now unfortunately.
[G1 Apps and Games] Swifty:
Have you seen the Windows Mobile implementation of iPlayer done by a guy here at XDA-Devs? (It's called myPlayer)

That can use VLC on a desktop PC to re-encode the BBC streams to more suitable sizes for mobile devices, this also gives the option of viewing live tv channels (which the BBC now broadcast online) as the mobile app uses telnet to command VLC to open the BBC stream, convert it on the fly.. then streams it to the phone.

Would be great to have something like that on android, and may help with the quality issue of using mobile streams?

since running JACs hero roms beebplayer is working for me on 3g as well as wifi with t-mobile UK.

great app,

this app is great!, couldnt find it with a search on the market place, if you have trouble, view all applications in the marketplace and keep scrolling till you see it, i couldnt find it with a search for some reason,

this app works like a charm over wifi, really fast and great quality,

i have a g1 and on the network "three". I have no problems with using beebplayer over 3g, the app also tells you the download size just in case your on a limited data plan.

this is a must have application, just wish thier was on for demand 5, and channel 4od.
[Realme GT 2 Pro] legendebrune:
I am not responsible for use/misuse of the file I share

Everything you do is at your own risk. Flashing abl partition has the potential to brick your device. Only use this file for realme gt 2 pro, not any other phone!!!

The below method was only tested for the stock ROM Android 13 C.20 EUEX version. It should work for any Android 13 stock ROM regardless of region - since the original bootloader files appear to be identical (judging by the file size, 216kb).

DO NOT flash this file on a custom rom unless you want to experiment- @SantaSpeen tried to apply it for LineageOS 20 and bootloop ensued

To remove the orange state warning at boot for unlocked device:

-Gaining access to adb commands

Install adb/fastboot drivers (read this if you are unsure)

Then on your phone :

Settings-> about -> version -> tap build 5 times

Then developer options are unlocked

In developers options, allow usb debugging

Connect the phone to a pc

Allow the computer in your smartphone interface

Now type

In a command line interface

The serial number of your smartphone should appear.

-Boot into fastbootd

Now, type

Your device will reboot into fastboot.

And in fastboot, type:

You are now in fastbootd

-flash abl partition

In fastbootd:

-Reboot

And you are all done, say goodbye to the nagging screen :)

Be careful to flash in fastbootd, not in standard fastboot
[Realme GT 2 Pro] mitriemin:
Work with C20 EUEX!

Bootloop with LOS😑

Guys be careful!
[Realme GT 2 Pro] SantaSpeen:
Boots into TWRP, LOSRecovery.

Bootloop with LineageOS 20, Pixel Experience 13.

Stock abl for fix that!
[Realme GT 2 Pro] legendebrune:
Here is the stock abl for Android 13 should you need it to revert to the pre-flash A13 stock bootloader. It should work for Android 13 C.20 regardless of the region - CN, EU, and IN - because the stock abl files appear to be identical (216 kb size).

Tested only for Android C.20 EU version
[Realme GT 2 Pro] criszz:
Are u sure about adb reboot fastboot and next fastboot reboot fastboot ? Not fastboot reboot fastbootd ?
[Realme GT 2 Pro] legendebrune:
Yes, I am sure.

If you want to check whether you are in fastbootd, the following command is helpful :

If the output indicates that you are in userspace, then you are in fastbootd

Here's a very interesting document for more info on fastboot commands : https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Android/Fastboot

[Realme GT 2 Pro] Effizio01:
In c.22? In case of Brick what do i do?
[Realme GT 2 Pro] legendebrune:
In case of brick, just flash the file I shared in post #4 if you come of A13 - but brick is unlikely to happen if you come from stock A13

@Effizio01 @fuibauer Thanks for your feedback :)
[Realme GT 2 Pro] mitriemin:
I think faster install with rooted Termux

File must be in /sdcard/ or you can add way to need folder.
[Realme GT 2 Pro] legendebrune:
It is faster, but it is more dangerous, because if the file is not properly written (because of user error (wrong path or wrong file name for example) or because of any other factor such as no more battery) ---> brick :)

Also you method requires root, and not everybody likes to or can root their phone

[Realme GT 2 Pro] misterqwert:
Guys, can you give me a link to useful information or just tell me how to universally remove the warning for orange state not only for Realme, but also Oneplus, Xiaomi and other companies. As I understand it, it is necessary to change the abl.img section somehow, but I want to understand exactly how this can be done

Hello,

I have observed that when I plug the official charger on my Pixel 3, it charges at 12W for a few seconds, and then switch to 6W (measurements done using an electric current measurement device). The charger is still ok (I have tested it on my wife Pixel 3a where it delivers 12W at least up to 50% - 60% state of charge). I have also observed it with other (good quality) chargers and cables.

Do you observe the same?

Better to perform a factory reset to the phone. If the problem persists, better to install a custom ROM (if there is any)
