Bricked?

I'm sorry to say this, but you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. I saw the reviews of the camera quality and it doesn't even come close to most flagships. I downloaded the sample photos from a review and the photos barely looks better than the one's I took from my Huawei P8...

Yeah I think the SD 660 has the Adreno 512 which is indeed significantly slower than the one found in the SD 821. Even if the 675 was faster, it would still be a huge downgrade to the Note 7 Pro imo.

LOL, I haven't checked the benchmarks yet. I assumed it was faster because the SD 660 edges out the 821 in Multi-Core benchmarks.

LOL, how does it pawn an LG G6 in every way? It's inferior in pretty much everything(display, build quality, camera despite it being 48mp, etc) except maybe performance (cause of the newer SD675) and the battery life. Other than that, the Redmi Note 7 pro would be a downgrade.

Can someone please share their settings for GCam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.4.032219.1950.apk? I've played around with everything, but in every scenario Cstark's 4.2t3 performs much better especially in low light. The gap in quality is quite significant. I'm using a LG G6 H870 running stock Oreo.

This, in conjunction with changing the screen's resolution to 1080p also significantly improves battery life.

Same here. I already disabled almost everything in LG's skin including that Smart Doctor app and the phone has been smooth and lag free. Can't wait to to test this and flash a custom ROM with a custom Kernel and Viper cause my phone feels empty without it.

Not all H870's can be unlocked. That only applies to the EU H870. Those from other regions can't be unlocked officially.

I don't really understand since I'm still a noob lol But I have the South African H870 which I assumed have the exact same hardware as the EU version. Also, I saw a custom kernel for the H870 so maybe that would work?

Hi Brian I just wanted to ask why the H870 would require a custom kernel to unlock the bootloader? Also, if this method works with my H870 would it be safe to flash a custom ROM?

I'll follow this thread. Hope it works on the H870.

Okay I'll just follow this thread for any updates on what needs to be done.

That's great! So once he's done all he needs is to ask someone who unlocked their H870 to send them the unlock.bin file then I'll be able to root?

Oh I see. But I thought the unlock.bin is device specific since it uses it's IMEI and Device I.D?

So it'll need a donor phone which hasn't been unlocked yet? But if this is doable it'll be amazing. I just want AOSP and a sound mod like Viper and Ainur Sauron then I'll be happy. I'm not too happy with the phone's sound output. Hopefully I'll tweak everything the way I want when the...

I have the H870, but because I live in South Africa I can't unlock. Hopefully Brian's method would work with my variant as well. Also, none of our cellular networks use CDMA as far as I remember so it shouldn't be an issue.

Yeah I was annoyed when I switched off my phone to charge it only to see it turn on and boot into the system. I absolutely love this phone, but LG's skin ruins it for me. I bought it like a week ago and it's already lagging meanwhile my midrange Huawei P8 Lite 2017 runs rock solid on a custom...

Yeah it's awful. I can't believe a phone with a Snapdragon 821 can stutter this much. Even Subway Surfers stutters a lot which is unacceptable. If there's a way to unlock the bootloader I'll instantly get rid of LG's heavy skin.

Hopefully it works. I'm even willing to risk bricking because I don't see myself sticking to LG's skin for too long.

Hello Brian Would this method work with the H870 as well?

I have the H870 which has lots of custom ROMS. The reason I can't unlock is because of my region. But from what I've read is that my H870 has the exact same hardware of the European model.

Looks like we'll hopefully be able to root and install custom ROMS?

True. LG's skin makes this phone lag and rhe front camera is atrocious. Luckily I tried out some GCAM ports which makes a huge difference. I have the H870, but can't root due to my region. If this project is a success I'm instantly installing a custom ROM.

I hope there's a way for our G6's to be unlocked. LG's skin slows down this phone so a custom ROM would be perfect.

This is what I also thought. I hope there would be an unofficial way cause I do not want to stay on the stock ROM.

Hi everyone. So I have the H870, but I'm from South Africa. Will I be able to unlock my bootloader if I flash the EU KDZ to my device and then try that way?

But will I be able to unlock if I flash the EU KDZ? Because I've been looking around threads and some people said it's impossible to unlock. I think I'll give it a shot though.

Okay I'm busy downloading the H870 EU KDZ. I'll flash it later. Will I lose my data if I flash?

It's definitely the H870. The reason I can't unlock is because of my region.

Hi everyone. Just wanted to know if there would be a way to unlock my H870? I live in South Africa and it said my variant doesn't support unlocking, but I can at least enter fastboot and use commands. Hope there's a way for me to unlock because I'd like to install AOSP.

Hi. I am back on the stock kernel as I have been trying different ROMS. But this kernel worked for me after repacking

I've tried just about every method and none of them ever worked since I updated to Oreo. I have the P8 Lite(2017) so if anyone got this to work please help me. My phone feels incomplete without this

I tried the method in post 72, but it still bootlooped. It only booted up after repacking like that. I'm on OpenKirin Resurrection Remix

Here's what I did to finally make it boot up. I unpacked both the stock kernel and the custom kernel images and then I copied the zImage from the custom kernel and replaced the stock zImage, repacked and flashed and it worked like a charm!

I've never tried this on emui as I've never really used it. I got rid of it the instant I got this phone so I've just been using custom ROMS I'm currently on OpenKirin Resurrection Remix which runs perfect. All that's left is a custom kernel cause I'd like those extra features. I hope I can get...

This kernel boots on every Pie GSI that I've tried so far, but I haven't gotten it to work on Oreo yet. I have the PRA-LA1. I'll check the updated one and see what happens

Okay I did that, HOWEVER, my mixer file is completely different compared to the mixers you were editing as I have a Kirin chipset. So I don't know which lines to edit. I attached the mixer file.

Hi. I tried going through the tutorial, but my device has so many mixer files so I don't know which to edit I have Huawei P8 Lite(2017) and I'm running a treble GSI(Android Pie) with stock emui 8.0 kernel I've attached the mixerpaths.txt file as well as some of the mixer files If anyone can...

I have tried just about every way to get this working, but it always bootloops. It just stucks at the 'your device is unlocked and can't be trusted " and stays there for a few minutes and then reboots. I mainly want to use this ROM for the Dual Speaker Mod. Is there any way to enable Dual...

Thanks so much for this! It works perfectly so far on my P8 Lite(2017) on OpenKirin RR

I tried that method and ended up bricking my phone. Luckily it's not a hard brick since my fastboot still works and bootloader is unlocked. I have TWRP for Oreo on my device, but there's a huge problem. I think I might have flashed TWRP onto the wrong partition. Even if I erase the...

Okay thank you. I'll try it as soon as I get home.

Thanks for clarifying. Luckily I already have the files on my laptop (Android 8.0) so I'll try it out as soon as I get home.

Thank you. I ended up buying DC Phoenix and unbricking my device. But I saw the file you linked me to is Android 8.0. My question is can I use that file to upgrade? I'm on EMUI 5.1 at the moment. And if so, which tool should I use to flash the file in the link?

Hi all. Can I use this tool to upgrade to Android Oreo by placing the firmware files on my internal storage? My memory card slot doesn't work at the moment and would love to upgrade.

It does? Cause once I tried to upgrade from the internal storage with the NoCheckRecovery and ended up bricking my device so badly that I had to unbrick with DC Phoenix using testpoints.

Hi all I'm still a noob so sorry if my questions sound dumb. I have the P8 Lite(2017) at the moment I am rooted and have a custom ROM installed. But the problem is, I want to update to Android Oreo, but all the methods require that I manually install them with an SD Card. The problem with...

Hi thanks I can't use that method, unfortunately. My SD card slot doesn't work anymore so I once tried upgrading to Oreo by putting the files on the Internal Storage and ended up hard bricking the device that's why I had to use DC Phoenix. Are there any alternative methods? Would love to have...
