Thank you a lot of combinations of 3 booton Home, Volume Down, Power solve the problem thank you very much
I would really like to return to Froyo, but... I don't understand what rajko34 did.
Like, the v10 baseband is available but where I can get a stock froyo rom to flash with the LGMDP.exe?
If I flash with KDZ, the baseband is flashed/downgraded too?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I am replying to this post just want that other should aware about the facts that Downgrading from 2.3.3 (V20) to 2.2.2 (V10) is possible and is successful using KDZ. You just have to take care of some below Points before flashing:
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING GOES WRONG TO YOUR DEVICE. TRY ON YOUR OWN RISK
1. Always Use latest driver from LG and make sure that your device is disconnected and any previous version of drivers should be uninstalled from "add and remove programs" using Windows XP SP3 system (Including LGE Virtual Modem,etc. etc. ..!!! (The one who already have latest drivers and clean PC won't find "Virtual Modem" in the device manager, So just Chill ) ..Check device manager and uninstall if they still there and also uninstall drivers from other vendors like Nokia, samsung, etc.
2. After uninstalling drivers , restart your system and make sure that your user is an administrator and then install New LG drivers from the LG official website (Just Google== LG P500 drivers ). and Disable LGE Virtual Modem if still its appearing in the device manager.
3. Always make sure that USB Debugging is enabled on the device and your system supports USB 2.0 (High Speed), so notification like "Hi-Speed device is plugged into Non Hi-speed USB" should not appear.!!
3. Extract KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.zip and Install msxml.msi and reboot your system again.!
4. Again you need administrator.!
5. Now Plugged the Device via USB.!, System will install drivers for your device. Wait let the system completes the driver installation .!
6. Unplugged the USB from the phone and Restart the Phone.
7. Wait for the phone to Boot and load completely (Approx 5 minutes).
8. Set Display Brightness timeout to 30 minutes and ensure USB debugging is ON.
9. Plug the device again and keep it at a place where it will not get disturbed. (Also ensure that You have Good working Data Cable, Hope Your Original one is still alive )
10. Open KDZ_FW_UPD.exe, select type "3GQCT" and phonemode "DIAG"
11. Click browse and select "V10E_00.kdz" file from where you have download it, I have used Indian version because I have Indian LG O1. (I recommend V10E_00.kdz because i used it twice and it works lika a charm :victory: )
12. Now the Flashing Part .! :fingers-crossed: ...!!. Click Launch Software Update.!
13. The phone will goes to Emergency Mode (Don't panic).! and the flashing process will start.. ! wait for flashing to complete.! Ensure that your system will not goes on Standby or sleep.! And If you are using a Laptop I suggest you to plug in the power first.!
14. I always make my mouse moving while flashing process is in progress. It make me feel better . So you can also try this
15. The flashing process may take 5-10 minutes to complete. and you phone will restart itself indicating the offline battery charging screen.!
16. Wait until KDZ prompt "FINISHED" in the end of the log.
17. Unplug the USB and wait for 5 seconds and press and hold Home+VolumeUp+Power simultaneously for Hard resetting the phone .
18. When The screen Shows LG Logo leave the buttons and Hard reset will take half a minute to complete.
19. Wait and Let the device Boots ups completely. (First Boot will take 5 minutes to get you to the lock screen)
20. Done.!! Congratulations.! You are now Downgraded to 2.2.2 . :highfive:
Good Luck :good:
IF anything went wrong during the flashing process or KDZ gave you any error in between the process.! Please DONT pull the battery out from the Phone. Else It will HARD BRICK YOUR PHONE.! And u are not even able to get the phone Power on..I mean Dead! Just Find Support on XDA and try and try again.! (Also suggest you to do not unplug the data cable, it may also lead to HARD brick the phone.)
In this situation ensure that you have a right flashing KDZ file. and IF you have the right one use different "phonemode" like Emergency, Emergency_CS, etc and try and try again.!
IF still wont work try to shake your phone and touch the screen again and again and try to launch the software upgrade
If still device is not responding try lgmdp method and try to flash a recovery and Image.
If nothing works restart you system and then again launch the software update in emergency mode.! (This option works for me once but i recommend you to try it as a last choice)
Don't pull the battery out and ask for support on xda.! Might be someone save your phone's life.
If the phone is still stucked you have to get it to the service centre. (If your phone is in warranty they will replace the PCB free of cost)
Hi,
I bought lenovo tab 2 A7-10f for my brothers birthday.
After one week of using it he brought it back to me with words: I broke it.
He rooted (Kingo software) the Android system and than he cleaned some system apps which caused the crash of the system.
Now when I start it the boot stops in lenovo welcome animation and I can't get to boot mode anymore (pushing volume and start button) the system freeze in welcome screen with lenovo and android logo - no martian.
When I tried to connect by ADB the device appeared to be "offline" and I can't reach it.
Can you help me, please?

You need lenovo flash tool and latest rom. T2-A7-10F_USR_S041_150112_ROW or another.
power off your tablet.
push volume down and connect with your computer.
tablet will start and show he is charching.
Start flash tool. load the scatter file. In above rom it is : MT8127_Android_scatter.txt
once loaded push download.
some files will go to your tablet. If flash tool quickly stops , power off your tablet, but leave the usb cable.
Once powerd off , flash tool will continue.
when het is finished , you will see this on your computer.
disconect and restart tablet.
2nd possibility : power off you tablet
hold 3 buttons. Poweron , + and -
when tablet vibrates , release powerbutton but do not release + and - button
now your tab will start in recovery. here the tab says : no command and you push the powerbutton to see the menu.
there you can choose : wipe data/factory reset
after reset choose to reboot.
if this factory reset does not restore you tab , you must flash the rom.
choosing with keys :
with - button you go down
with +button you select
with power button menu will show
Can someone help me with a link to the stock rom ?
Try SAMmobile.com (you will have to make a free account) when you have made your account click the firmware button at the top of the screen then type in your phone model number. For example SM-G361F the choose your country. Then in the filter box seach your network provider ie. O2 then click download. Once you have downloaded it unzip the file in a folder. Boot your phone into odin/download mode. Click BL or AP it dosent really matter then choose your file and wait for the blue bar on your phone to finish. Then it should restart
And should be stock rom. If your brick your device please note you have full responsibilty over your device. If you do mess up and brick your device just repeat the steps above.
Try resetting the phone from recovery.
Enter into recovery(use possible combinations of power+vol up or power+vol down or power+vol up+vol down) and factory reset the phone. This might help.

HERE YOU GO
I am not sure how this works but this is the downloable file any tablet tab 2 A7 10F gets when it's going to upgrade from kitkat 4.4 to lollipop 5.0 so I guess this will work on any of your tablets. This versión is supposed to be for latinamerica but It holds many languagues if any of you need others than Spanish or English.

This can be a hardware malfunction related to LG G4 phones as reported by the manufacturer:
https://wccftech.com/lg-g4-v10-lawsuit/
If your phone is under warranty and if this is the problem they must give you a new one. Contact your operator Technical Support service and they will send the phone to the manufacturer.
If it's not under warranty, there is a bunch of videos in youtube explaining how to fix this problem:

[Guide/tutorial] Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime VELTE/G531F from stock to custom ROM
[Guide/tutorial] Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime VELTE/G531F/grandprimevelte from stock to custom ROM
This detailed step-by-step guide helps you transform your Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime VE/LTE/531F to a powerful one with a custom Android 5.1.1.
Make sure your phone is SM-G531F before going further : in Android, go to Settings -> About -> Check model is G-531F.
AND note down the baseband version in a safe place (in case of device brick) : G531FXXU1APG2 in my case.
If not, quit this tutorial.
### Phone is reset and you can't access Android ? Shutdown phone, start in Recovery Mode (Hold Power + Home + Volume+) until you see Samsung logo and release buttons.
### In the recovery, on the 2nd line, look at the right part of the string after the . : G531FXXU1APG2 in my case, the first letters show G531F. It's good.
### AND note down the baseband version in a safe place (in case of device brick) : G531FXXU1APG2 in my case.
### If it is another model, quit this tutorial.
CHANGELOG ------------------------

Go to SamMobile.com and create an account (Join button): https://www.sammobile.com/join/
Select the FREE join, complete registration.
Confirm registration by clicking on the verification email.
Now visite this page : https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-grand-prime/SM-G531F/
Select your corresponding country.

Preferably chose the one independant from a telecom operator, click on this line.
Then download the firmware, it's huge so be patient.
You then have a zip file on your PC. Unzip it 1 time (using 7-zip or other tool) to keep the file named like : G531FXXU1APG2_G531FOXX1APG2_G531FXXU1APG2_HOME.tar.md5
Start phone in recovery mode again, connect it to PC and Launch Odin.exe.
In AP, set this brand new ".tar.md5".
Wait for Odin to control md5 signature.
Then flash it. Be patient, all the partitions of the phone are being reset.
When Odin green success message appears, disconnect from PC, shut phone down by holding Power + Home + Volume-.
Now start phone in Download mode right away, FRP Lock line should be OFF.
Go back to step 3) at this line : "Connect phone in USB, wait for bootloader drivers installation.".
4) FLASH CUSTOM ROM
Start phone in recovery mode
TWRP is launching and reboots.
Check never show this screen during boot again and Swipe to Allow Modifications on first TWRP launch.

then Swipe to confirm Flash.
Wait for operation to end.
Then tap Wipe cache/dalvik, swipe to confirm,
then Reboot System.
Wait for the phone to boot during 10 minutes.
5) ROOT ACCESS
The ROM has SuperSU preinstalled so no extra work to do.
6) CALIBRATE BATTERY
In Google Play Store, download App Battery Calibration (from IMobS Ltd).
Launch the App.
Confirm root acces.
Plug tab and wait till charge hits 100%, then hit BATTERY CALIBRATION and unplug it.
You can use GPS Status & Toolbox app for faster GPS fix.
7) OBTAIN GOOGLE MOBILE SERVICES (GMS) CERTIFICATION
Google now restricts Google Play and Google apps access to certificated devices. Since you have a custom ROM, you are banned.
We now need to subscribe for the Google Play Certification.
In Android, go to Settings -> Security and activate the Unknow sources
Now use the built in File explorer app to install the deviceID app from you microSD card.
Install it, launch it.
Tap on the Google Service Framework (GSF) line, then tap on the COPY button.
In your Android webbrowser, go to : https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/
Connect to Google using your Google/Android account.
In the input field of the page, paste the 16 digits code.
Click on the Save button, a success message confirms your device is Certified.
Do I need to re-certify it ?
"Your device’s GSF ID is reset every time your device is factory reset (or when you wipe the GSF app itself) since it is stored in your data partition, so you must re-register your GSF ID every time you perform either of these actions."
More info here : https://lineageos.org/Google-Play-Certification/

Hi,
Sincerely I didn't try to access recovery again.
At least you can log to a phone where you don't know the original owner.
Sorry for that.
Looked up for newer packages for 531f.
This tutorial is up to date.

However users say it is pretty stable for a daily usage.

Hi, Touchwiz is proprietary.
You can try Lawnchair or Nova launcher.

the battery life with this rom is 10 times better than the lineage rom and even the stock rom.
I'll stick with this rom
Awesome work.
Hi there!
Two simple guides for you... since I had a lot of trouble finding all the information in one post.
1. How to get into recovery mode on our Nokia 7 (TA1041).
2. How to restore stock (official) software phones shipped with unofficial software so you can easily update to the newest software!
This is what to do, and it WORKS!
1. Shut the phone down.
2. Connect a power source. Wait for the device to start charging.
3. Press and hold Volume Up and Power Button together. Release the Power Button when the phone vibrates, but keep the Volume Up pressed.
4. If you do it correctly, then you will be on the "no command" screen of stock recovery.
5. Press and hold the Power Button and quickly press and release (so 1 short press) the Volume Up key . Then release the Power Button too.
6. You should be in the recovery. And you can now use the Volume Buttons to navigate and Power Button to select your choice.
Good luck!
Oke, so I thought it might be useful to share some other info too..
If you bought a Nokia 7 from China and it has the unofficial software which can not be updated this is the way to get it back to 100% stock!
What is needed?
Minimal Fastboot & ADB
Unlock key (from the_laser or techmesto - search for it on Google)
Stock firmware & OST LA & Patch (Google Drive link - thanks to hikari_calyx & Heineken78)
0.1 You need a bootloader unlock key. Some users on here know how to make it, I do not. I bought mine for $5 here on a website called techmesto allthough I rather see it as a donation because the guy is really helpful and excited. He also has a Nokia 7
0.2 Install OST LA, copy patched .exe to the installation folder.
0.3 Install Minimal Fastboot ADB
Then the real works starts:
1. Start up you Nokia 7 and in the Google Setup click "next" all the time. When it asks for a username just press "ok", do not write anything as a username.
2. Go to about phone and tap "build" 7 times to get acces to developer options.
3. In developer options allow "oem unlock"
4. Turn of the phone and boot into Download Mode (which is fastboot!): plug in usb charger and then press Volume Down and Power Button
5. Use the following fastboot commands:
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot flash unlock [unlock_file.bin] #whatever the name of your unlockfile is
fastboot oem unlock-go
6. Select "Yes" by pressing Volume Up and Power Button
7. Phone will reboot. Now go back into Download Mode (fastboot).
8. Use the following fastboot commands:
Code:
fastboot flash unlock [unlock_file.bin] #whatever the name of your unlockfile is
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
9. Select "Yes" by pressing Volume Up and Power Button
Now your phone is fully unlocked.
10. Go into Download Mode (fastboot again).
11. Unpack the stock rom file and open OST LA (by opening the patched onlineupdatetool.exe). Click "edit phone information". Wait for the error and click "ok" then click "next" and select the stock rom file and click "next" again, the software will now flash the stock rom and reboot.
12. After reboot, turn off the phone and go into recovery mode.
13. Select "factory reset" with the Volume Buttons and click Power Button to do a factory reset, then reboot the phone.
14. Turn off the phone again and enter Download Mode (fastboot).
15. With Minimal ADB Fastboot use the following command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
16. Select "Yes" by pressing Volume Up and Power Button
17. Your phone will now boot into Android. Now you have Android 7.1.1 stock rom with locked bootloader! Go to system settings and start updating your phone
Good luck! Hope this helps out. It helped me out for sure!
Q: I get stuck on the "Powered by Android" screen or the phone keeps rebooting into Download Mode?
A: Just plug in the phone, get into Download Mode and use OST LA to flash the firmware. Nothing needs to be flashed, it will get stuck. But after it gets stuck you can reboot your phone again!
Thank you so much for the guide! It worked for me
However, I could only flash the stock rom with the OST v6.0.4.
During flash OST v6.1.2 blocks when 'Checking device status' and nothing happens.
Just a warning to other users that might face the same thing.
Cheers!
So if I do this I will get ota update to 8.1 and maybe (in future) 9.0 Pie? Another question, I will have my native language Brazilian portuguese or only chinese and english?
There's no way to "translate" it to portuguese? Thankyou.
I have problem with fastboot devices - it not see my Nokia 7 at all...

1. Yes, you can update via OTA to Android 8.1.
2. Only Chinese and English.
3. You can add more languages by using "MoreLocal2" app on Play Store. Search tutorial on YouTube, many people make video about this app.

Wow cool.
One last question (I swear): Can I make a backup of this current shop ROM to go back if something goes wrong or I don't like it?

You can ask as much as you like =))))
I think you can't because we don't have this "custom ROM" file.
Chinese sellers mod a stock ROM to Android One version, but it is lag and unstable, it's not official ROM, either
Just wanted to add that for me, in the OST v6.0.4 tool, the 'Check System AP Status' update option is selected by default along with 'Normal Download' and seemed to cause the update process to fail. Deselecting it having only 'Normal Download' selected solved it.
I did unlock my nokia 7 and I get the 5 sec delay when its unlocked
Then I Flash the rom C1N-0430-0-00CN-B05.nb0 it does flash but when it tells me finished and does boot its still my old android with dutch language and error com.android.phone I can click on it but its directly back phone is useless now.
Can someone help me ?
After factory reset my phone did boot the stock ROM. I select english and it works ok.
Done several OTA downloads and finished the 10-2018 update no more available.
I wanted to remove some of the stock apps but failed.
Can someone tell me how I can root my Nokia 7 (is there a guide supersu or magisk ?) and how to install TWRP I read something about saving a partition or maybe mistaken. A good guide with steps would be great.
HELP!!

OST 6.1.2 cannot be cracked so it will not work. You should use OST 6.0.4. You will need to have an unlocked bootloader to flash it yourself.
Bootloader unlock
