[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Questions & Answers] joshcantcode:
Thank you for the information! Yeah I was hoping I wouldn't have to erase the data, as she said the data is more valuable than the phone.

I was thinking of possibly updating the firmware through fastboot, and I saw someone mentioned active partition swapping, but I'm not sure if those are data-destructive methods. Thankfully, she did seem to have a recent Google One backup and her photos backed up to Google Photos, so if nothing else we can go that route.
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Questions & Answers] TheArkive:
I have no idea how you would do that with the bootloader locked.

I know there are some scripts/hacks that enable built-in dev testing, but I think you have to be in the OS to enable those. Supposedly with those you can toggle bootloader locked status. But even with all this, once again, the OS needs to be booted.

Good thing she has backups! That makes life easier.
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Questions & Answers] mouseracer:
As @TheArkive said, I also cannot see a way you can update something via fastboot. By its fickle essence, fastbootd REQUIRES you to unlock the bootloader. Now, if you cannot even unlock the bootloader, you cannot use fastboot usefully.

The other issue with bootloader unlocking also lies in the aspect of it erasing the data. Once you issue the command of unlocking the bootloader and confirm it through the phone, the phone will then proceed to erase ALL data (photos, cat videos, whatever user has had in phone).

So it would seem that your only option lies in the Qualcomm EDL mode.

I would like to thank @TheArkive for pointing towards the EDL links as well as helping the @joshcantcode .

And I hope that your friend's phone can work well again. :D

[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] jxda77:
Bootloader has once been successfully unlocked and I have installed custom roms no problem. Later on the bootloader got locked again after I installed stock rom (locked it myself). Now I wanted it unlocked again, and that operation seems to have been successful as well. Fastboot shows 'flashing_unlocked'. But at the same time fastboot shows AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure) in red. So I cant boot twrp with fastboot boot twrp.img anylonger. Is it game over or not? It seems the bootloader wont accept booting of twrp.img , the operation just hangs.

Cheers
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] WoKoschekk:
it's always displayed like this. it has nothing to do with whether it's unlocked or not.
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] jxda77:
Thank you for your reply. Any ideas as to why it can't boot twrp ? Hangs at the fastboot ' fastboot boot twrp-<verno>.img' command. Maybe unlock->relock->unlock sequence has had some consequences, even though I have the flashing_unlocked status in fastboot.

Ok so I tried so some other cables, but did not work. But another USB port/hub and suddenly it worked. Strange. But when I think about it, did not use this computer last time I was experimenting with ROMs. So things are working now for the moment. Just wondering why USB ports malfunctions with ADB/Fastboot. I even managed to unlock it on this comp, but the other stuff errors out.
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] WoKoschekk:
it's a known issue with that model. I need a USB-HUB to communicate with my G6+ in Fastboot mode. I guess it's the SoC but not sure about it.

Doesn't boot, can't get to fastboot, or anything. Just that when i connect to PC, pc recognises something is connected but doesn't know what it is. Is there any hope for my phone? Thanks in advance!
[Google Pixel 7] V0latyle:
Check Device Manager, show hidden devices. What does it show up as? Given your description.of what happened I believe you are correct, the bootloader is corrupted, and the only way to fix it is to have it repaired. A shop will replace the mainboard, while Google will either repair or replace it if under warranty.

Hello guys,

I just bought a LG G6 to change the ROM to Lineage OS and I had a bad news ever that this specific model (H873) doesn't have a way to unlock the bootloader.

Searching for some forums on the internet, I found a way to change the model to US997 official ROM and therefore unlock the bootloader from there. But I've lost the link and I searched for hours looking for this tutorial, but unsuccess...

My question is: anyone knows how to make this "overcome" changing the official ROM to "able" the bootloader unlock?

[G1 Android Development] timace:
So ive noticed that there is a new (maybe old) feature on YouTube when i access from my PC for watching vids in high(er) quality...since it is YouTube that is offering this option does anyone know if we will be able to watch Vids in higher quality from our G1's??? they are still very choppy (opinion)

-MADE SOME "PROGRESS" OR DISCOVERY IN POST 10 BELOW
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
not sure if you are aware of this, but youtube plays at a higher resolution if you are connected via wifi vs 3g/edge.
[G1 Android Development] timace:
ya ive tried and noticed a slight difference but wifi connection is not always available to me...
[G1 Android Development] adnans:
if you've only noticed a slight difference, then the video you are watching was low quality before it even made it to youtube
[G1 Android Development] leoni1980:
The higher quality option within the standard Youtube site utilizes h.264 with AAC.

As far as I know the G1 uses only the old standard .FLV through its built-in player when using WIFI.

When running on EDGE or 3g the G1 Youtube player player connects to the mobile .3gp stream.

The iPhone on the other hand uses the h.264 stream when wifi is connected, or the .3gp stream when in EDGE or 3G coverage (although downloading of the higher quality stream is available through the device with MXtube.

I own the two devices and will be doing a few comparison videos in a week or so. It is interesting that no reviewer has commented on the fact (or what I believe to be a fact) that the Youtube viewer on the iPhone is a lot nicer to use and watch on the whole, despite Google owning Youtube. Really they should have offered the best mobile Youtube experience on the G1.

One GOOD point about the use of .FLV streams is that they load a LOT faster. The same stream in h.264 on my iPhone can take many seconds to buffer - even with my 10mbps broadband connection - where the same clip on the G1 buffers almost instantaneously. I suspect that Youtube throttles their h.264 streams (for reasons best known to themselves) since I have no problem streaming the BBC's lovely h.264 iPlayer streams.

I suspect it is HTC who actually made the Youtube app, and that it will be improved, or even replaced with the Cupcake release.

Another problem which is slightly off topic and will NOT be improved with updates is that the G1's loudspeaker is vastly inferior to the iPhone 3G's (though much better than the pathetic iPhone 2G speaker).

Sound quality for me is very important when I'm watching videos on my device, and as I've swapped and changed between my G1 and iPhone over the past couple of weeks I've found the speaker quality of my G1 to be a source of great irritation being as it is just so tinny. and annoyingly positioned. Despite being only monaural the iPhone 3G's speaker is one of the best out there.
[G1 Android Development] Ryanmo5:
Me and my friend did a comparison, he has iphone and i have g1 obviously. Both of us are in 3g are and his quality blows g1 away. I agree youtube videos looks pretty horrible on g1 with or without 3g. Speaker is definately behind in the iphone wars also. I have noticed that i pick the videos up much faster than iphone but i would wait for quality. Alot of youtube videos are low quality video's however.
[G1 Android Development] Lieu10ant:
maybe someone can impliment a "force &fmt=18 string" at the end of every youtube video link that gets played to force the quality to be good. but of course, you would have to wait for it to load too, so they should make it an option when you press the "menu" button, maybe they could do something in the next custom firmware for root users.
[G1 Android Development] timace:
thts actually a great idea as this code provides excellent resolution on PC's, and i wouldnt mind waiting as stated above i would rather have higher quality...
[G1 Android Development] Sumanitu:
Has anyone compared the video quality when launching videos from the youtube.com website instead of searching for them with the youtube app? I believe the app normally searches m.youtube.com which has videos that are reencoded with a lower quality.
[G1 Android Development] timace:
WOOOOO

:D so keeping in mind the "&fmt=18" code at the end of the actual vid URL i tried this...

1) go to the actual website www.youtube.com (not app)

2) search/click on any vid, it will ask you if you want to use the "youtube app" or "browser", Click browser

3)once the page opens you will see the flashplayer error, hit the menu button and "go to url" add the code "&fmt=18" to the end of the url then copy

4)go to www.keepvid.com and paste in the blue box then click download

5)scroll down and you will see 2 options to download make sure u click the mp4 high quality link...(not the flv link)

6)WAHHLAAAHH enjoy looks 5times better even though takes 5 times longer lol hope this is worth it for some of you
