Sure how do I sent through here?

Get my unlock key from LG, and then attempted to unlock the bootloader and I got this error: Any idea what the problem could be? I just got the phone from swappa and it looks in such good shape that maybe it could be a refurb? Thats my only guess. I already did this on my other US997 with...

Getting stuck when flashing unlock.bin. I followed the first steps perfectly. After it didnt work the first time I tried updating to the newest release through LG system settings. I also did a factory reset, but no dice. The email from LG has all the exact info that goes with my phone...

What is the "enforcing" rom that is on the download page?

When is this gonna be linked to the First post? Im someone who usually only runs official releases, and am a little weary to run an unofficial build. Especially when its only linked in the comments.

Am I overthinking this? My nexus 5 has lineage 14.1 on it. Also running TWRP 3.2.3-0 I want to try the unofficial lineage 16. Do I need to re-partition? what advantages do I gain by doing this if its not necessary? If it is necessary - and I already have TWRP installed - and there is...

Ive owned some great devices for cyanogenmod/lineageos, and ive owned some terrible ones. Nexus phone ans oneplus have been the absolute best - recently the LG G6 (US997 version) has been terrible. Looking at devices out now - the only phones that have official support for 15.1 that are...

thanks

Is the twrp website down for everyone? Figures I wiped this phone before downloading twrp - now im stuck halfway through a root and flash process :(

Can I use the nexus player as an android "desktop" and attach a keyboard and mouse? Have this thing sitting around collecting dust. I'd like to root it and do some stuff with it. I was thinking attaching some wireless gamepads and emulating classic games. I wouldnt mind attaching a keyboard...

Really miss this feature, loving everything else about oreo. Is there anyway to enable this? Am I gonna need a different kernel?

My mother said her phone died on her and wouldn't turn back on (nexus 5x). I got it to turn on, but it would get to the 4 dots and then freeze up. Booted into twrp, and the same thing, it would work for a while and then freeze. I tried formatting the partition, but once I typed "yes" it would...

How's progress coming on the US997 version.

Quick question about this rom. Recently tried LineageOS and it didnt run so well on my US997, so I switched back to stock/fulmics. Is this any smoother than lineage for those who tried? Also - will this work with microg instead of gapps? Trying to ditch google, but I still need them for...

Might be a dumb question - but will this work on non LG roms? I was thinking about flashing Aquarius, but havent yet because I take a lot of pictures.

Thanks. Any reason why someone would use the unofficial over the official? I know only the unofficial is available for my phone, but once the official is available, what's the advantage? Sent from my LGUS997 using Tapatalk

Can someone tell me what phone this recovery is for? I see this thread, one for the US997, and also a thread for H870. Why does this thread exist? Can someone clear this up for me? Which version should I use on my phone (US997)

bump this question - trying to clear up some confusion.

bump again. I would like to do something with this phone. Id even sell it, but no way to wipe the data off it.

So unlock, install twrp, and then do not install the new update right? Would I even be able to install the update if I tried?

is this for US997 or H870? I saw US997 has its own thread, why wouldnt this one be labled H870? I dont want to flash the wrong version.

Should this also now include US997? Will you lose water resistance if you do this? I saw Jerryrigeverything replace the back on youtube, and he mentions that you will if you replace the back. He actually removes the paint and makes the back clear - looks really good: https://youtu.be/Bavh96FXjTs

Can you explain what you did? New to this phone. Havent even connected it to wifi yet. Should I root/twrp first and then update? I was under the impression that updating could remove twrp, and then Id have the possibility of losing root/unlocked bootloader. What should I do to ensure Ill...

Well the phone is pretty new, and the G5 has full lineage support, so its just a matter of time until the G6 (i think). I just hope both unlocked devices are supported, and not one or the other. Anyone have any idea?

Both are currently the same price. Both bootloaders are unlocked and have twrp. The H870 already has an unofficial LineageOS rom, the US997 does not. Getting rid of LG's ****ty OS and putting something more stock is pretty important to me. I was leaning towards the H870 before because...

Turbine1991 where'd u find cheap screens? Sent from my LGUS997 using Tapatalk

Bump. Any info on this? Sent from my LGUS997 using Tapatalk

Just picked this phone up. StockOS looks OK, but Ive always used a more stock-based OS, and am hoping that well at least get one or two really popular/supported roms. Since only a few versions of this device are bootloader unlocked, will we get support from lineage? Im hoping eventually.

Last question(s): So I installed V21, supersu, removed ALL amazon with dirtycow. 1. Is my phone now disabled from receiving OTA updates? Or do I have to do something else to make sure auto updates are OFF. 2. Is there a way to remove this stupid blu app (blu help) that keep requiring me...

Is there a ROM i should flash afterwards? I just installed twrp using the dirty cow method (steps 1-4), and then also did step 5-1 (install supersu). At this point, in the past Ive always just flashed a brand new rom and gapps. Is there a "stock" rom that I should flash with twrp - which...

Whats wrong with the term died? The screen needs to be replaced, its not dead? What am I missing? And yes the device still powers on. I can hear notifications and stuff when turning it on, just cant see anything. Ive only replaced broken iphone screens before, and every time Ive done it...

Thanks Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

So the phone is brand new from Amazon, haven't touched it or even connected it to the internet. Not home right now, but I remember seeing software version 6.0 not Android 6.0. Anyways, I guess I should look into the dirty cow method. Do you have the link? Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using...

She says it died a LONG time ago and the phone has just been collecting dust (no chance on using warranty). Im new to this device and subforum - is this a common problem with the note 5? The cheapest Ive seen for a replacement screen is like $200 and for that much shes probably better off...

Is the root junky method still good? https://youtu.be/KMobKWfZbJg Or should I follow a different guide? I know some of his files on his website are outdated. I also am having a problem when trying to use the flashtool. When I plug my phone in powered off, at first it says the battery is...

Before rooting/removing ads etc, I want to use the phone for a week or so stock so Ill have a baseline to compare it to. Would it be OK to let the phone update fully while using it? I know with some devices (Amazon kindle) if you update it to a certain point, then there is no going back and...

On the verge of getting a new phone. I can deal with 2GB of ram if the cost of a phone is 180, and maybe even 240 for the 4gb version. Once I get up to spending 230 for 2gb and 300 for 4gb, I think there are better phones that arent too far away in terms of cost. Does this phone look like its...

NO luck in CT. Was about to buy when some other guy came over and was like "oh wait dont ring that up thats the ad version". Really earning that minimum wage.

Quick question: Havent really used any custom roms in a while (running stock on my nexus 5x). Picked this up thinking theyll eventually be a way to flash cm or something else like it on there - is this probably the case? Or should I just return it? I dont need the phone right away, but was...

any fix on this? Mine has been doing it for a month or so now. Also my battery has went to **** as well. Also - did you buy yours from qualitycellz?

OK need some opinions here. Looking for the most stable closest to a stock nexus rom that you can get. I havent done anything with my phone yet, and have only done OTA updates. Currently on CM12.0-YNG1TAS213 (build date June 3, 2015) The problems Ive been having with the last few official...

when you say barebones stock - are you referring to the an ATT stock rom, or an AOSP stock rom?

So I gave this phone to my mother a while back. It was working fine for a while, but when she said it was slowing down a little I decided to update her rom to something a little newer. She was previously on a 4.1 version of AOKP, about a month or so ago, I updated to the newest 4.2 version of...

thanks for all the responses. I think ill try the few roms and kernels you guys suggested before bailing on this phone. I personally like my rom to be as close to stock as possible, which is why ive been using slim bean for so long. I think ill try CM first before any other rom, or possibly...

I was hoping to get maybe a little longer out of my gnex, considering that IMO i dont do very taxing things, and when i bought it - those things seemed to work fine. In the past few months, i started using google music - and the phone is simply too slow to keep up. Besides that, all i do is...

im geting bugmailer.sh cannot be renamed because the file system is read only. Im using root explorer to try to do it. IM coming from cm10.1, and last time i used PA i would get a bunch of reports too. (same phone). I did as a clean install as i possibly could, not sure why im having so many...

im loving this rom for the most part, but there are a few problems ive been having. One is the bug reports, jesus christ they are annoying. Anyway to disable, or at least make them less intrusive? They always pop up at the wrong time. Second is the pie controls. Let me first say that I...

probably a stupid question, but how do you update your recovery? I thought my recovery is only changed if i flash a new rom, or kernel? I know i can probably do it with rom manager, but i feel like thats probably a bad idea. Im coming from a PA 2.17 - only reason im updating is because im...

i did. Apparently, i should have recovery since i have the semaphone kernel on there right? Is it possible my key combo for recovery doesnt work? or im pressing the wrong buttons? also, where can i just find an odin package by itself? i have a new kernel downloaded and ready to flash, but...

Ok, i just tried to flash this rom, coming from AOKP JB. I booted into recovery, wipe data/ factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache, and then choose this zip. Then i got some message after flashing saying that the filesystem is incompatible with this rom? I then tried to flash...
