If I can do it by simply ****ing around I'm confident someone can do more than me with enough time and knowledge. I'm not giving up either. I just honestly don't know what I'm doing. I do caution anyone who messes with this sort of stuff to dump a full partition level backup of your phone. I...

No further luck but it doesn't matter. the boot loops have stopped and my changes are intact. h873 running dual speaker mod and adblocking hosts file. root, however, is not still functioning and my attempted viper4android install is in some weird instant reboot to bootloader limbo.

After more screwing about I somehow relocked the bootloader and the key that worked before is now rejected. Any help?

Hiya guys! So, I've been plucking away at trial and error with my G6 (H873 Canadian) now that I have edl to fall back to and by using qdloader flashes to write my nand I have written my device with a hybrid of the pie beta 29a and an unlocked us997 aboot. after modifying the devinfo...

Hi there, sorry to bother you guys but I'm trying to help my girlfriend set up her new galaxy s9+. everything is going great and she loves the phone, but we can't seem to get Samsung pay working. When the app is opened it asks for a Korean sim and boots you. is there any way we can get her...

Can someone please help me out here, I can't run system updates. I can't factory reset. I don't like being stuck in this scenario. It's functional day to day but not being able to reset sucks. Not being able to have the newest security updates also sucks.

The test points didn't trigger edl. Little help?

Hey you guys. been toying around with android on my switch all day and I just wanted to share that I stumbled across something strange. when I swapped the switch into power saver with a 2.4A charger attached it began to detect it's charging state then crashed. only had it happen once. don't know...

Hi, I've been looking to reset my g6 for awhile now but unfortunately factory reset fails every attempt and I don't have a valid download mode partition (borked it with lgup back when I was testing a root procedure) does anyone know how I can reset? I've been looking at the possibility of...

Firehose exists for g6 now? Would this allow me to safely pry at LG's bootloader without permanent bricks? Would love to take it into my own hands but couldn't afford the risks before. I'm using a Canadian H873

I'm sorry but your device isn't officially supported by LG for bootloader unlocking and third party solutions aren't quite working yet. The dev who was working on this thread has called it quits after a tragic family incident so as of this moment there isn't much you can do (besides maybe pledge...

Asking once in awhile is fine (although annoying) but I count nine comments in a row asking or complaining. You want to tell me how that's productive? I'm not trying to "attack" anyone. I've just seen this dozens of times. More than half the time I e watched the dev walk away from a project like...

You guys are acting like children who can't help but ask "are we there yet" every five minutes of the road trip. He's done answering. Wait a little bit like mature adults won't you? Instead of whining that you've given up hope. You wanna see progress? Go donate to the lovely people who are...

I'm sorry, what? did you just name drop a budget (low side of average anyway) 48mp Sony sensor to sound smart or.. did you have a point? The g6 isn't lacking in a sensor. it's the software driving it. try gcam, problem solved. Your pics look clearer and sharper on a lower definition display...

I'm running an h-873 on Oreo. Not sure if the files are the same but I'll upload them when I'm off work.

Which model are you? (under settings > about phone > hardware info)

Good luck you two. we'll be patiently awaiting the results as a whole community I'm sure. many of us have done nothing to deserve it and for that, I thank you, for working patiently with this Group of users. :fingers-crossed:

My point is that at the time of purchase I went for a flagship and got something that felt worse than my last phone which was three years out of date... I had no way of knowing what I was getting because all the reviewers hadn't had enough time for the flaws to become clear. hell I'm not even...

Near stock, almost stock, and 95% stock are still not stock android. how are you guys not angry about buying a flagship and having absolutely no power over something YOU own. I personally strongly believe in the righs to do what I want with my own property and not be governed for what they call...

I understand you cannot discuss certain details in this thread due to the rules but if this succeeds will you be able to help other g6 users pull it off here on xda or will it have to be posted elsewhere?

I was thinking about bugging my carrier to do an upgrade but otherwise, it's expensive to buy out the contract. Plus, I kinda like my g6. Just looking for some more control over it. You're not wrong though. The v30 is faster with a nicer display and all the features. Makes you wonder what on...

Some of us are still stuck in contracts... :confused:

No need to be impatient. Keep in mind he doesn't owe us his activity. All this work is being offered up kindly by a dev who doesn't even benefit from this. Not owning the device in question and all that. I don't mean to be rude, I'm sure I speak for more than just myself when I say we're...

Oh, I didn't quite mean it that way. Having never had this process fail in the past (with my old g5) I'm at a point where I've left my known territory. being on the newest firmware I can't take an ota officially. I've never heard of a way to force them on lg devices but if there is let me know...

I don't suppose there's anything useful I have left to offer to your thread here?

It was definitely past laf when I pulled the cable.. maybe I waited a little too long? I pulled as it was hitting system. everything seemed fine. flashed the old rom with everything except laf and all seemed okay until I tried to enter download mode again. this isn't the first time I've...

Hi there. An update as promised. I followed the steps but unfortunately, I've ended up with a laf partition that fails the security check. Unless you know a way to restore it or bypass the security check I'm out of luck...

I think so. I can give it a shot tonight once I'm off work. If all goes well I'll be up as far as he was by the time I respond to this thread next. That is if no one else beats me to it. In that case congrats to whatever brave soul that is. :) How confident are you at this point? I'm alright...

is this a valid device for your process? https://imgur.com/a/1iL2jkC

Hey, Okay guys. thanks for all these replies. I'm sorry I let this thread die. My fix was honestly just to claim my warranty but not everyone has that option. I see aaya888 may have had something qfil related? I'm still well and truly intrigued as I'm terrified of doing this again to my phone...

As do we all :p patience my friend, patience.

Phone re-branded to thinQ, camera is slightly different. bright mode and a change in the theme of the camera is all I noticed. don't know what they meant with that mention of google assistant. nothing google related in the camera. assistant still works exactly as before?

hang on, I've an h873. I just got an update v20e and now my g6 is suddenly thinQ? weird re-branding for what appears to be minimal changes.

It shouldn't but backup just in case

If you have PC access you can go ahead and grab the kdz and flash it with lgup. So long as you're sure your phone is an h873

Sigh I did have a specific point to make or I wouldn't have made a thread about it

Hey there guys, so I did as I'm sure many of you do out of habit and checked for an update this morning. Low and behold with zero announcement Oreo is here!!! I couldn't be happier, but am I the only one who noticed it's dated for April 24th?? What're your guys thoughts on that? Did lg hold out...

Any other way to do this then? ~sincerely a user with an arm64 device

hey, everytime I do this when it reboots to twrp i just get the sony logo but at max brightness and it gets super hot

I'm so so sorry, I didn't mean it to come across as an attack... It was meant in genuine curiosity. I've been looking for such files so that I can attempt more without risking another brick. I've already had to send my device back once... (actually it still hasn't come back, I'm a tad concerned)

Were vulnerable to firehouse? How's that make sense without a valid .mbn? You got access to a Firehose configuration for the g6??

Anyone else got some ideas?

Im not arguing the validity of this technique in most cases this would be proper procedure but my failure happened partway through writing partitions. the partition map is corrupt and laf is empty there is no download mode to communicate with anymore. very specific to MY device download mode has...

:rolleyes: laf is gone (the partition that runs download mode) in this state I need some way of communication to the device in edl mode. I know what you're saying to do but there is no download mode to get into ive tried... multiple times.

the guide was as suspected no help. the device remains unresponsive.

im pretty sure my laf partition is corrupted

How? every key combination I've tried does nothing. I guess I might be missing something if so could you be more specific? I do appreciate the help

there is no download mode. its lifeless aside from the pc recognizing a device in qualcomm 9008 mode when i plug it in.

hey i likely know the answer to this but i got my lg g6 stuck in qualcomm 9008 mode does anyone know anything i can try? i am planning to send this phone in for warranty over a screen issue i was having but when attempting to factory reset it crashed and ended up here. worried they wont honor...

dont think arm64 is vulnerable to it
