    Post Never again am I buying from LG

    Well well, let's take your word for granted. Can I finally be happy about getting a motherboard replacement after ILAPO? Warranty and all, from Germany to Poland and back. It's working perfectly so far (as it did when I bought it. For ~12 months . . . ) Can you tell me more about "EBR81224301"?

    Post Will we get Nougat 7.0?!

    They didn't even bother to release the LG V20 worldwide . . . We will get Nougat for G4 (more hopefully, a Nougat Imperium/Genisys ROM) and things will be fine until we finally bother to buy a new device. Perhaps a LG G6? :good: Colour me in . . . ! [ Until then, 7.1.x on G4 would be most...

    Thread [ICONS] UX 5.0 Stock Launcher Icon Replacements

    So after I flashed a custom ROM with UX 5.0 (G5 icons), I really started to like those "slightly rounded box" icons. I then installed the V10 camera app for manual video, and ofc had to look at the 'old square' icon . . . So for what its worth I started to make new ones. Maybe you like them...

    I'm afraid things aren't as simple as that. Actually we are quite lucky that simply flashing cust/misc/drm allows to revert the bootloader state.

    You're right, that's why im curious. As the repair report shows, changed main board, EBR81224301 replacement part. Perhaps like this hp0M86Pou44 But that doesn't fit the repair report either as the replacement part is seemingly the whole main circuit.
