^thanks, it says that it is not eligible for carrier unlock which is strange becuz i bought the fone (not on a payment lease). stranger that i dont know what the carrier unlock has to do with the bootloader (to me, it sounds like the volume knob on a car stereo causing the engine to overheat)...

thanks to yoo both. i bought the fone outrite (no lease plan) so its mine. my previous fone was an essential so I never knew the carrier got in the way of unlocking the boot loader... but i remember having to wait til after payoff to get the fone carrier unlocked ( which is different). i...

hi, i bought a oneplus 8 5g from sprint today and i am trying to root it before i load my stuff to it (the bootloader menu mentions its product name is kona). when i go to developer options, i am able to turn on usb debugging but oem unlocking is greyed out. [[email protected] ~]# adb reboot...

hi, i have an essential running lineage-os with a broken screen. how does one copy data off of it to my fedora laptop. the fone vibrates when i touch the fingerprint reader and i see from my wifi router admin page that the fones i.p. is present. the charging lite l.e.d. comes on when plugged in...

now its randomly happening again.

it seems to have magically stopped.

i have an essential running this: Linux localhost 4.4.21-lineage+ #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Nov 14 13:44:18 CST 2017 armv8l GNU/Linux whenever i start a tele-fone call, random music plays on the fone forever (until i restart the device) ?

i would like to assign the spacebar to the a button (key press 96) on my controller ?

hi, i have an essential running this os: mata:/data/data/berserker.android.apps.sshdroid/home # uname -a -m -p Linux localhost 4.4.21-lineage+ #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Nov 14 13:44:18 CST 2017 armv8l GNU/Linux i am not able to use wifi hotspot although tethering still worx. i tried with my laptop and...

forgot i already opened a thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/essential-phone/accessories/360-camera-how-to-share-fotos-t3758617

hi, i have an essential fone and a 360 camera. when i copy fotos to my pc it looks like a salvador dali drawing and i am unable to drag the field of view around. however videos work in vlc (but not mplayer/kodi). is there a viewer that is able to view these pictures as intended. also, is there...

thanks, then i think wireless charging would be possible (if one fabricates a receiving coil to those pins -- i have one for the galaxy note-3 so maybe i can tape the leads to the essential somehow (i'd hate to use solder)).

[lineage-14.1:20171130]hi, when i switch to the rear facing cam in hangouts its in black and white (every other fone/tablet the rear cam in hangouts is in color). shooting videos of hangouts its in color. also this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/hangouts-audio-wont-hdmi-t3722443

thanks, i get an icon indicating its a 360° pic. but when i click on it, it says 'this 360° picture cannot be displayed. maybe my lineage-os install is interfering somehow ?

when i text pics taken with the 360 camera, it looks like a salvatore dali drawing on the recipients cellular-telefone or pc. and they are unable to drag the field of view around. however videos work in vlc (but not mplayer/kodi). is there a viewer that is able to view these pictures as...

when i had a galaxy-s2 it would work correctly with mhl but unfortunately, hangouts no longer worx on that fone.

hi, i have tried with my table which has mini-hdmi-out and my fone which has dp-alt. both i can play games and the sound and video go thru my tv speakers. but with hangouts the video is mirrored onto the tv but the sound only comes thru the tablet or the fone. ?

thankx, ShaDisNX255 for now i cut a usb cable and stripped the wires and connect them to the battery (red -> +; black -> -) to charge for about an hour.

nice work, +1. i am having trouble with the back and option buttons not lighting up. i go to settings -> aokp -> hardware buttons and the default is 5 seconds illumination. and they light up when i am in that menu. but when i go to the homescreen they shutoff and never light up again.

the usb charging connector is mash up. looking for ways to charge it ?

+1, i hold an l-e-d across those pins (both ways) and it doesnt lite up (even with the camera app running); any way to wake up those terminals ?

are there any other attachables ? is there an api or pin diagram for the ports on the back to tinker with ?

thanx. i wonder if there is a pin-out diagram detailing whats pos/neg.

hi, when i take off the back cover to the left of the battery are three copper terminals and above the battery are 2 terminals. curious, what are they for ?

still dont know what this means. thanks i have been reflashing this whenever necessary: [[email protected] mata]$ md5sum ../Downloads/twrp-mata_6_NMJ32F.img b615c3b743408750b1e28b2f1f4107f5 ../Downloads/twrp-mata_6_NMJ32F.img since i no longer have a working twrp i tried it this way...

thanks for your advice but your link to the firmware isnt very verbose about what to do with it. are we supposed to install it via twrp or extract it and run flash-all.sh ? thanks for the great contributions. edit: is there a way to backup the current firmware in case i want to revert back...

in 'about fone -> lineageos updates' i clicked on lineage 14.1 (11.30.2017) and it brought wifi back but deleted twrp... i'll try to read about flashing firmware on both slots ?

my wifi was working but all of a sudden its not. in settings i see wifi mac address as 02:00:00:00:00:00. it maybe happened either when having to reflash twrp for some reason... or installing the lineageos su. lte worx and i am able to make fone calls. the baseband is listed as 2.0.c4-m1.3.1...

i got my essential yesterday so 2017.11.30 was the first i tried therefore no fingerprint scanner for me.

thanks, how does one install twrp without using send_command.exe.

i've hadnt much luck booting to various modes using key combos: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/unable-to-adb-reboot-recovery-reinstall-t3311589 i no longer have the fone to play around with.

since this fone was having this issue i decided to try and restore from a working backup: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/unable-to-make-phone-calls-dialer-t3278827 i am starting to think that this fones hardware is broken/defective somehow. the key combo to boot into recovery never...

i installed multirom manager on a nexus-5 running cm-11. it gives me a five second countdown (defaults to internal) and then it boots to a black screen.

Is there a way to install something like fedora-22-lxde ? I think it was possible on the nexus-7. edit: actually it was the nexus-4: https://github.com/freedreno/nexus4-fedora

[h811] a friend is running the 12.23.2015 cyanogenmod nightly (but they are also having the same problem with their restored stock backup). when they try to make a fone call this would pop-up: process system is not responding when he hits ok to terminate the screen goes black until he hits...

they didnt do anything with the 10n bootstack (i dont know what that is). maybe cyanogenmod automatically does the 10n thing (how to manually go back to 10h) ? i assumed re-loading the 5 gb .img file would bring us back to square-1 but i guess not. also, how to know what bootstack they are...

i assumed re-rooting would clean everything since it uses the send-command program (essentially dd's the whole disk) but i guess not. we also tried installing the rooted stock rom using twrp but still no joy.

hi, my friend called me on a different fone to walk them thru the process of rooting/twrp'ing an h811 using this as a guide ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epcXXkMPRWk ). and it booted up fine and the touchscreen worked. so i suggested they also try cyanogenmod (11.12.2015 nightly). they...

hi, i tried the 2015-10-03 nightly of cm and the gps doesnt work. (i also tried booting into stock rom and getting a gps lock. then installing cm without wiping cache. but still no joy) i also tried with slimkat rom and gps also doesnt work. is there a way to use gps on an alternate rom or...

similar experience as mine: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772/post62425954#post62425954 it may be those programs are device specific (i dont have a g4).

i am having problems on my lg-mach. i added in some debug lines:... def rawcmd(input): ser.write(input) out = '' response = False while ser.inWaiting() > 0 or response is False: response = True print "schneidz: call ser.read" out += ser.read(1) print "schneidz: return from ser.read"...

i meant for general use (copying music, videos, ...). but from your answer i see its only needed to make the diagnostic ports visable. i am unsuccesful getting my pc to talk to it in download mode...

another dumb question, what does this program do: LGUnitedMobile_Win_Driver_Ver_3.14.1.exe ? my fedora pc is able to connect to my old lg's without it. does the g4 now require windows (e.g.- ifone requires itoons) ?

this is what i was looking for: #ls -l /dev/block/mmcblk0p47 brw------- root root 259, 15 2015-01-13 21:22 mmcblk0p47i was gonna' propose something like:dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p47 of=/sdcard/backup.partbut i guess we'll get permission denied. wishful thinking: maybe there is a kernal...

thanks, still curious. what does mountyield ? edit: also running the commands using something like connectbot or adb shell or sshdroid would give the needed info (but it seems like the dd would need to run over system_commands.exe).

thanks, just for shiggles, what does:mount | grep /systemyield (maybe seek/skip/count parameters are unnecessary) ?

i tried this on an old lg fone but the fones partitions arent seen by the pc while the fone is in download mode (are newer lg's different ?). when you are using the dd command are you running it within the system-command.exe emulator (windows ?) thingy ?

i am able to create a dd image of the /system partition on an lg mach. i mounted the backup and touched a test file. but i get operation not permitted when trying to restore using dd.

i think the part that i am missing is that the fone doesnt present itself as a storage device to the pc even under download mode (is that correct ?). therefore dd wont work if there isnt a /dev partition to image ?

thanks again, i skimmed up to page 117 of this monster. seems like someone created a bash script to backup the fones system partition, copy the su .apk to it, then restore the rooted backup overwriting the stock system partition. the...
