Do you have a WhatsApp phone number for me to be able to explain to you the exact problem that I'm having ? Much appreciated
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Functioner:
No, I don't use whatsapp. Generally, I prefer to have all explanations be public so that perhaps more than one person can benefit from them. It's more work and less efficient to make such explanations to every individual user having trouble.

Anyway, if the steps I listed don't work on your device, it is probably because your jaws device has a damaged bootloader, and if that is the case, there is currently nothing that can be done. Like I said before, the way to know if the bootloader is damaged on your jaws device is if the device won't boot at all.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Functioner:
I just read the first post to this thread. It seems that your device does still boot, but has some sort of issue during the setup wizard process. Are you in a region where google may have restricted access to google features?

I haven't seen this issue before, but since your device boots, the steps I listed before will allow you to get a fastboot connection, and that connection will allow you to get to the recovery menu. So long as the fastboot/adb drivers are installed and working on your computer. I asked you about that a few times, but you've repeatedly ignored that (and all of my other) questions. The answers to these questions could potentially help you, but you haven't answered any of the questions previously posted.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] HassanBrkt99:
If not we can chat privately

Let me explain to you exactly what happened. It was working all perfectly well i decided from nowhere to factory reset it when i did that it reseted and it goes back to where i need to choose region and language then i need to connect to internet via wifi i connect it then i need to put google account i entered my google account gmail and password and then next while

It was working all very well then out of nowhere i wanted to do a factory reset and when i did the factory reset it restarted and then i chose the language and region and connected to internet and then i putted my google account when i was doing prompt confirmation for the google account it crashed before signing in it went back to select region and language Whenever i restart it or turn it off it goes back to select language and region and it keeps returning to select language and region i uploaded a video i don't know if you have seen it.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Functioner:
Some of the questions you haven't answered:

Have you used fastboot before? Do you have the drivers installed?

Are you able to answer those two questions?

If you do have expereince using fastboot, and do have the fastboot/adb drivers installed and working on your PC, did you even try the steps listed in post #21?

It may seem to you that those steps can't work because usb debugging is not enabled. But this is not correct because the steps I listed are for a special connection mode that has nothing to do with usb debugging.

I'm sorry, but if you tried those steps and can't get them to work, there is nothing more that I can do to help.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] HassanBrkt99:
I have never tried these steps before can you teach me exactly what to do step by step ?

How to download the fastboot adb program and what to do after ? I have the usb-a to usb-a cable
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] HassanBrkt99:
Where can i install the fastboot adb drivers and how to use it ? I live in Lebanon . Beirut
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Functioner:
The beginning of this post describes where to get the drivers and utilities in order to run the fastboot command line host side utility. Assuming that your PC operating system is windows.

If you've never used a command prompt window, that is something else that you will need to learn how to do also.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] HassanBrkt99:
Yes i know how to use cmd of course okay then tomorrow i will download them and try to do what you told me I'll hope It'll work ❤️
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] HassanBrkt99:
What to do exactly after installing the adb fastboot tool ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Functioner:
I'd just be repeating myself if I typed it all again. This will be my last post to this thread.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] HassanBrkt99:
Hey it's me again i did this step and it's stopped at < waiting for any device> like the first time when i tried it.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] HassanBrkt99:
I think that usb debugging must be enabled
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Functioner:
Did you follow with step #3 as explained previously:

2. Type:

fastboot reboot bootloader

The response should be:

< waiting for any device >

3. Plug in usb-a to usb-a cable, then plugin power connector to jaws device.

It is important that the parts of step 3 are done in the above order.

That is not the case during the bootloader stage, as I explained before.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] HassanBrkt99:
I did exactly this, i first plugged the usb cable then the power connector it turned ON on my tv with the same boot looping keeps refreshing to the same page choose region and nothing happens on my laptop still waiting for any device.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Functioner:
Just to be clear, you did the "fastboot reboot bootloader" step before you plugged in the usb and power to your mdz-28-aa device?

If that is correct, the android drivers for fastboot may not be properly installed on your pc. Are you able to test fastboot with a different device that is known to be working?

If the fastboot drivers are working, and you did the "fastboot reboot bootloader" step before connecting usb and power to your mdz-28-aa device, then I have no idea why it is not working.

I have extensively tested this method on my mdz-28-aa device and it works everytime.

Sorry, I don't think that I'll be able to help you.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] HassanBrkt99:
Today i will try it again first i will open adb fastboot then i will type fastboot reboot bootloader then after that i will plug the usb cable to the box and the power connector right ? Do i need the hdmi cable to be connected and the tv to be powered on ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] HassanBrkt99:
Maybe i don't have the right usb drivers i will try later today to try to fix it.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MjklSimpson:
I bought a refurbished g4 from aliexpress, it's on android 5.1 and upon trying and failing to update it to 6.0 i realised root checker gives a "phone successfully rooted" message, so no wonder i can't do an ota update...

Bootloader shows as "unknown" on cpu-z so i have no idea on the situation of that. Do i need to check it first?

Thanks in advance
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krbjmpr:
Depending on local carriers, your phone may not be usable. H815 had a shaky volte in at&t variant, running android 7.0. Otherwise, no volte support. A custom rom won't give volte either.

If data is working, Google voice or similar service probably be your best bet, and more consistent.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MjklSimpson:
i'm sorry, but what does google voice and volte have to do with installing a custom rom on my phone? data is working, there's no problem with that.

i just wanna get out of android 5.1 because almost no apps are compatible with it and i can't update to marshmallow because my phone came with root already.

i'm scared of doing something wrong and bricking my device... what would be your steps if you have root already? maybe i could use an app to flash a recovery and then flash a rom in there? but how about the bootloader? i don't know if it's unlocked or not.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krbjmpr:
If you have root, boot loader has already been unlocked.

If your carrier requires VoLTE, and you throw a custom ROM onto phone, the ROM will not be able to use LGs method of implementing VoLTE. End Result: no voice calls unless using service like G Voice.

To install a custom rom, you will need CWM recovery, though TWRP may have been available.

Next step, boot into recovery, see what you have.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MjklSimpson:
so if i don't need VoLTE, i can just use flashify to flash a recovery and then inside the recovery flash any rom compatible with the h815? how about the usu or non-usu thing? like, how would i know which method was used on my phone?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krbjmpr:
There were a few versions oh H815, basically carrier variants (US) and factory unlocked (International).

If memory serves, was very similar to v20 except v20 US996 (US unlocked) could have its bootloader unlocked.

Check into dev options, and see if you have option for OEM Unlock. If you do, and is enabled, is going to be international and official unlock method was available. If grayed, or non existent, then is likely a US, and USU (Unofficial Somebody (or other) Unlock) would have been used.

Also, USU gave a secure boot warning, but proceeded. Official gave a firmware error. It's been a while, don't remember the verbiage.

Now here is the gotcha. If phone was rooted in last few years, even if international, the unlock code could not be obtained as LG shut down that service. Somebody mentioned summer 2021, but can't verify.

It comes down to if OEM Unlock is turned on or not. On is non-usu, off or Grey is usu.

Clear as mud?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MjklSimpson:
kinda clear yeah lol

well, my case is this: OEM unlock option is currently off but available for me to turn on, and my device doesn't show any warnings/errors on bootup. i'll try to install a rom tomorrow and see what happens, feeling optimistic!

thank you so much for your attention!!!

I've been running Lineage for months now and would love to change roms. Back when I got Lineage flashed and booted (thanks @Sage), I made numerous attempts to install crDroid GSI and could never get it to boot. I tried methods online from "How to install GSI on Samsung devices" type search results but it seemed like nothing would work without a proper multidisabler or something else needed. I tried to use instructions from Lineage thread and also @tablet_seeker thread for 14......nothing worked on other GSI's. I would love to install crDroid or Derpfest or Evolution X, etc. (from phhusson gsi list) and would like to know if anyone has successfully installed any of these or other builds besides vanilla 14 and Lineage?......anyone know what to do to insure proper boot when installing these other GSI's?

What is IMEI number?

-Okay, i want backup of this thing. What i need?

Not much from you. And, here a list:

Okay, let's start! Open your terminal emulator (next Termux)

And now, lets take on the challenges! Btw wheres GLaDOS?

Now, type:

su

And, you get message from Magisk, if you doesent used termux (or another terminal emulator) before.

When, you gave termux a root accses

Type:

cd /sdcard

By the way, dont forget to move "backup.sh" into internal storage!

And now, type:

ls

The last one, type

sh backup.sh

And now, backup is ready!

its located in internal storage, PLEASE KEEP IT SAFE! MAKE AN ARCHIVE WITH PASSWORD, OR SOMETHING ELSE. BUT SO THAT NO ONE CAN GET THEIR HANDS ON THIS FOLDER!

Check, if folder created

Go to this folder, and check, maybe it doesent have files.

-I have backup, because of you. And i losed my IMEI because of.. . How can i use this files?

It will be a little more difficult to restore the IMEI, you will also need a computer (no matter with Windows or GNU/Linux), and fastboot drivers.

By the way, if you need help with FASTBOOT drivers on windows or linux, send me DM :)

Reboot your phone in fastboot (Turn it off, and then press POWER ON button and VOLUME DOWN)

you will see a rabbit in a hat with earflaps with an android logo or just the inscription "FASTBOOT".

Now, open terminal OR command prompt. If you on windows, go to platform tools folder, you can download it here and unzip it. And move your IMEI backup files in it.

when you in, type

fastboot devices

you will see your device.

After this

fastboot flash nvram nvram.bin

fastboot flash nvdata nvdata.img

fastboot flash persist persist.img

fastboot flash protect1 protect1.img

fastboot flash protect2 protect2.img

fastboot flash nvcfg nvcfg.img

fastboot flash seccfg seccfg.bin

If you did everything according to the instructions - happiness! And in general, be vigilant, thank you.

Reboot and everything seemed fine with data intact... until I noticed my mobile network wasn't connecting. Turns out my IMEI is showing as 0. I have the number from a backup, but can't seem to figure out how to fix the IMEI problem. Wifi and everything else seems fine.

With this tool, a user can write IMEI to a Qualcomm device and restore NULL IMEI or fix corrupted IMEI on Qualcomm Snapdragon devices. you must follow the steps listed below to prepare your device for the Qualcomm IMEI repair process...

[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] Knight4889:
Thank you for the reply! I tried, without success, to get the repair tool you mentioned to work. I gave up hope preserving my data, so I used the Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant that I found referenced on a different thread. Link to tool here:

Rescue and Smart Assistant (RSA) - Lenovo Support US

support.lenovo.com

From there, I was able to connect and make a backup of at least my photos and such. After that I was able to preform a recovery, via the Smart Assist, and it wiped everything and installed the stock ROM.

Directly afterwards, I was able to use ADB to flash the current boot image and latest version of LOS and MindtheGapps following the steps outlined here:

Install LineageOS on payton | LineageOS Wiki

wiki.lineageos.org

IMED problem is somehow resolved, and everything appears to be working as expected, for a clean install of LOS.

I hope anyone else having a similar issue might find this helpful.

[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] TheArkive:
This script is for windows only, but the manual commands listed below will still work fine to update OTA zips via fastbootd.

PLEASE make sure you are prepared to experiment before using this script. It is a VERY good idea to have the MSM Tool on standby. Even though this script is quite stable and I have not needed the MSM Tool lately, it's still a good idea as a backup.

This script is a personal tool I have developed to help me with the following goals:

make experiments with GSI simpler

allow me to quickly update OTA updates from system or Oxygen Updater app

allow me to quickly update after using MSM Tool without needing to use system update

I know something like this has been posted before, but I wanted to make something that was more dynamic for the different variants, since they have some slightly different partitions.

Please read _quick_setup.txt to get started.

If you want to see details about what I've tested and the direction I'm going, then read _README_long_version.txt.

I have run several tests and I can confirm the following for my phone (BE2029 - BE89BA):

flashing latest 11.0.15 OTA directly after MSM Tool reflash (A10.5.10) works flawlessly

flashing 11.0.1 OTA, setting up GSI ROM, then flashing latest OTA 11.0.15 (all partitions except system and product) did not mess up the GSI ROM, and userdata did not need to be formatted

I have recovered from some boot loops, but not all

downgrading stock works, but you must format userdata, and bootloader must remain unlocked

system updates in stock have consistently failed in all scenarios, even with re-locked bootloader, but system updates can still be applied using this script / fastbootd without erasing userdata

In theory, even partial OTA zips should be flashable with this method, though I have not yet tested this.

If you want to perform this process manually here is how:

Spoiler content hidden.

This script is a work in progress. I will of course post updates if I come across any cool discoveries.

NOTE:

I have come across some rare cases where messing with Magisk has caused boot to apparently freeze. I have recovered from every one of these by forcing reboot (holding the power button).

In the last week or 2, using latest magisk, I have not experienced this at all.

In regards to finding out some missing pieces that causes stock updates to fail, this blog post was quite interesting:

How to Extract/Decrypt OnePlus OPS Firmware

This doesn't appear to be new information, but I haven't seen it posted here before, and after extracting the OPS file it's giving a nice look at what is different between fastbootd flashing and the MSM Tool.
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] mouseracer:
So, can we decrypt the One+ firmware files for flashing? Could flashing these be the solution to the updating issue?
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] mouseracer:
Also great work, @TheArkive , on figuring out the process as well as sharing the information here! (y)
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] TheArkive:
That's what I intend to find out.
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] mouseracer:
Also wow, you also figured out how to UPDATE the One+ firmware while on GSI?
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] TheArkive:
Yes, it's no different than updating stock. Just don't update system partition, and if you deleted product partition to make from for system GSI, then don't try update that either.

Google's explanation of GSI shows that vendor updates and system are now separate. So you can update one without affecting the other.

You can even update system_ext partition, since it is only linked to system, not actually part of it.

I have also successfully updated from Android 12 to 13 (just flashing system GSI) with no issues. But it MUST be the same ROM (ie. DerpFest, AOSP, etc). And even then, at some point, I imagine something could go wrong. Sadly we don't have a backup option in fastboot. That doesn't seem to be possible until we get an Android 12 OTA from OnePlus, based on what I've read.
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] mouseracer:
That android 12 ota will probably never come, unfortunately..

When will my OnePlus phone get Android 12?

OnePlus has rolled out the first public beta of OxygenOS 12 based on Android 12, and shared the full list of phones that will make the switch to the latest version of Android. Here's ...

"The only outlier is the Nord N series; the N10 and N100 get just one update to Android 11, so they miss out on Android 12."
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] TheArkive:
I'm just glad there's a ton of GSI images to try, and that we can finally experiment with many more custom ROMs without having to try and use a half-broken TWRP.

And that is in no way an insult to @EduardoA3677 who tried to help us and release an unofficial TWRP for this device. It was good (and necessary) while we were in that phase, so thank you @EduardoA3677!

Thankfully, we can move on without TWRP, for now.

I personally am experiencing the best system speed and battery life in Android 13 (AOSP) than I ever have on stock firmware for this phone.
