Hello guys,
I am pretty new to this stuff. I have just got LG P500 early this year, my friend helped me root this phone with CyanogenMod (7.1.0-RC1-Thunderg-KANG) and the Build number was SonyGenMod v1.2 Final. Not sure if this information is needed but I really want to go back to normal settings or the best settings as I don't really know how to root/unroot or update stuff.
I just want to use the updated version of Android Market. Right now, it is very annoying that I can't go online on WIFI because I can't update apps or go in Google Play. As it comes up with some errors.
Again, I'm pretty new to this stuff. I am not experienced so I need a clear step on how to fix this situation. I need your help if possible. Not sure if this is the right place to ask. Feel free to move this thread.
Model: LG P500
Android Version: 2.3.5
Baseband Version: V07u-000-000-MAR-23-2009
Mod Version: CyanogenMod-7.1.0-RC1-Thunderg-KANG

Please let me know if you need any other information to solve this.
Thanks!

Firstly, forget about unrooting because nobody would dare to unroot any Custom ROMs. Or if you really wanted to unroot, install a LG P500 stock Android firmware.
And I guess you've wiped data/cache/dalvik-cache in recovery in order to get correct functioning of the ROM. Not doing that would arise problems.
Android Market (now, Google Play) updates itself when an internet connection is active in phone. I'm not sure about your Wi-Fi problem, its better to ask that in your device-specific forum.
If you really need to start from beginning :
- Enter recovery, Wipe Data/cache/dalvik-cache/battery stats
- And install the CyanogenMod ROM again (Assuming you know how to install)
solution for rooting LG P500 and reflash the recovery image
With the help of tutorial below. if you are new to android and don’t know about rooting , benefits of rooting android then follow this article below to understand why we need root .
What is android Rooting and advantages of rooting android phones

and install on pc then reboot pc
Enable usb debugging mode by going to settings>applications>developer
Extract root.rar to safe place like desktop
Go to ADB folder , if you are on window 7 run cmd7.exe OR if you are using Windows xp then run cmdXP.exe .
After starting cmd7 or cmdXP, type following commands
adb devices
then
adb shell
(symbol will change to $ or #) and copy paste following command into your terminal
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
After doing this, Reboot your phone
Now go to root folder on desktop again, and start SuperOneClick.exe
Select GingerBreak method and press root button
Wait few seconds and its done.
If you wish update superuser app from android market.
[ Method 2 ]
In First step we need to setup ADB on our pc , to setup ADB on your pc follow this article
Install Android SDK on your windows PC , follow this guide
After setting up all things , restart your pc
Download SuperOneClick tool and install it
In adb run this

adb shell
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
After that open SuperOneClick and root using pneuter.
Reboot phone and update Superuser from Market.
These rooting instructions works fine on LG Optimus One, it can have some problems while updating superuser, kept force closing, but after restart, it will work fine.
If something went wrong when trying to flash a recovery image, for example when flashing CyanogenMod or ClockWorkMod. It happened to me several times so I tried to learn to revive it without reflashing the original firmware. Note: This tutorial works only if recovery is the only one broken. (If the ROM itself is broken, then that's a subject for another tut.) In this case, the most logical thing to do is just reflash the recovery image. So how do you do it in fastboot mode? Here's how:
Symptom
You tried flashing a custom recovery like ClockWorkMod or Thunderg, or you flashed an incorrect ROM, and when you rebooted, it showed this screen:
Code:
fastboot mode started
udc_start()
and the phone stays there. When you plugin the phone to your computer's USB, it is detected and the screen has this display:
Code:
fastboot mode started
udc.start()
-- suspend --
-- reset --
-- portchange --
-- reset --
-- portchange --
You will need
1) Your PC and your USB cable for the phone
2) USB drivers for your phone (use B2C from LG).
3) Android SDK (download from here)
4) Java, required to run the SDK (but right now I am not sure if this is required to run fastboot!)
5) ClockWorkMod or AmonRa Recovery.
Here's what to do
1) Assuming phone is turned on in fastboot mode, plug it in to the USB of your PC. You will know that it is detected if you see the the lines "suspend", "reset" and whatnot on the phone's screen.
2) Extract the recovery image from the zipfile downloaded from step#5 above (e.g. LGp500-recovery-v12.img). Place the image file in the same folder where fastboot.exe is (usually in the tools\ folder in the SDK). For your convenience, rename the img file as recovery.img
3) Fire up your command prompt and cd to the directory where fastboot.exe is located. Then type the following command:
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
Once you get the confirmation that it was successful, type this:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Once you get the success confirmation, reboot the phone, or you can also type (optional):
Code:
fastboot reboot
The phone will reboot itself, and with any luck you should be able to go back to your same old Android bootscreen. Note that no settings were modified here, so this is extremely useful for those who do not want a clean slate after a fastboot nightmare.
Also, note that if this is successful, you can now boot to recovery with the usual button-combos, thus enabling you to flash ROMs and other recovery zips.
Note: On some SDK versions, fastboot may not be included. For your convenience, I have attached the fastboot binary I got from my downloaded SDK. I have also attached AdbWinApi.dll which some user reported is missing in the SDK. Place the DLL in the same folder where fastboot.exe is located.
Questions, just drop me a line here
Like many, I was overwhelmed with information when trying to unlock, flash, and root my phone. After many failures, I decided to compile the good information all in one place.
I hope this helps. If it does, please consider buying me a beer...

MY SPECS
I'm using the Redmi K20 Pro running Android version 9 PKQ1.181121.001 (patched July 1, 2109) and MIUI Global 10.3.5. I am in the United States and I have Verizon as my cellular service provider. On the Redmi K20 Pro in the United States, Verizon is compatible with LTE/GSM (and CDMA, but I learned that Verizon is phasing out CDMA).
BOOTLOADER & UNLOCKING
Let me start by thanking Jumundz who saved my ass when I bricked my phone. More on that below...
"ALL IN ONE" TOOL
The following guide details how to root your phone manually. If you already understand the process, or want to tweak some of the steps, I recommend using:
ALL IN ONE tool. / (mediafire alternative link)
...or...
Xiaomi ADB Fastboot Tools (this is the current version, 2.3.1)
DEVELOPER MODE & USB DEBUGGING
To start, we need to enable Developer Mode.
Go to Settings and then click on About phone.
Then tap "MIUI version" several times (5-7 taps) until a notification reads "You are now a developer."
Go back into the main Settings menu and scroll down until you see Additional settings.
Click on Additional settings and then scroll down until you see Developer options
Click on Developer options. Here you will find a number of options that are not commonly available. If you have not unlocked your device yet, you will notice that OEM unlocking is turned off and also greyed out so that you cannot click on it. Instructions for unlocking your device can be found below.
Scroll down and tap USB debugging.
** Optional ** I also tap Install via USB just in case I want to use that down the road.
After enabling Developer Mode, connect your phone to your computer with a USB cable. (*NOTE* Some USB cables only charge your device. Make sure your USB cable is designed to permit data transfer as well.) A notification will pop up on your phone asking if you would like to allow the connection for USB debugging. Press "YES" so that the computer and phone will recognize each other in the future.
OFFICIAL MIUI UNLOCK
As many of you know, Xiaomi created obstacles for those wishing to unlock the bootloader. Xiaomi claims they created the waiting period to "deter resellers from loading shady firmware into their devices" (LINK). So, I created a Mi Account and then made the unlock request with the official MIUI unlocking tool Mi Unlock. The program that downloaded (at least for me) through the official site was miflash_unlock-en-3.5.719.27.zip
MI ACCOUNT BYPASS TOOLS?
Since unlocking my device through the official pathway, I read that you can bypass this process using other tools. ** Disclaimer ** I have not personally used these tools! XiaoMiTool (version 1) is discussed in this XDA article, but recommends using XiaoMiTool V2(Download link to the latest version of XiaoMiTool V2). XiaomiBuzz suggests using the Mi Account Unlock Tool. Here is a link to the Mi Account Unlock download file (the password required to unpack the .rar file that downloads is ourflashfile.com).
JUST IN CASE: THE MOST IMPORTANT TOOL
** Disclaimer ** You may not need this section, but if you run into problems (like I did) this is your salvation.
After a few failed attempts at rooting my Redmi K20 Pro, I flashed my device and found myself needing to unlock the bootloader (again). However, when I tried, I ran into an error message that read "you must wait 30 days before unlocking another device." Some of you have run into this problem if you accidentally lock your device while using Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools or TOOL ALL IN ONE (discussed later in this guide). Luckily, I found a thread by Jumundz (LINK) that indicated that an older version of MiFlash Unlocker (version 2.2.406.5) would still unlock my device. Thankfully it did!
GET THE STUFF YOU NEED
There are several sites that suggest to offer the best way to root your device. I have tried many of them and very few have worked (it's possible that I messed up the process somewhere). Whatever... this worked for me...
Generally, I followed this guide posted on AndroidInfoTech.com. I am, however, making some recommended changes.
XIAOMI USB DRIVERS
Start by getting the USB drivers. XiaomiBuzz has a pretty comprehensive list of all Xiaomi phones and their respective USB drivers (HERE). But, here is a link to the Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro USB Driver Package for Windows 7/8/8.1/10 (32/64-bit). Scroll down and select the download link.
Alternatively, you could download the Xiaomi Mi PC Suite through mi.com and install the drivers through that program. The version I used was 2.2.0.7032_2717.
Go ahead and install the Xiaomi USB drivers.
ADB & FASTBOOT
Next you'll need to setup ADB & Fastboot. You must have USB Debugging enabled for either of these platforms to work properly. See above for instructions on USB Debugging. Both ADB and Fastboot are utilized through the command line, so I was confused me for the longest time on when to use each one. In fact, I had trouble getting ADB to work, but Fastboot worked fine. Turns out the reverse is more common (people tend to have problems with Fastboot, but not ADB).
Here's the difference:
ADB: This is the platform that you can use when your phone is turned on normally (booted into the system). So, if you can see your your normal phone screens, then ADB will work.
FASTBOOT: Note that you can still use Fastboot when your phone is turned on normally, BUT you cannot use ADB when your phone is in Fastboot mode.
Get the latest ADB Driver Installer from miui.blog. This will install ADB and Fastboot. The current version of the ADB Driver Installer (for me) was 1.4.3. (Alternative download through Mega.nz).
Alternatively (and I recommend this instead), you can get the Android Platform Tools Pack for Windows which comes with the Google USB drivers, ADB, Fastboot, and the ADB/Fastboot drivers. Download it from miui.blog here, or through Mega.nz here.
Go ahead and install the file package you have chosen. Once installed, ADB and Fastboot should be able to be used universally (from anywhere on your PC). Just know that many installation guides suggest installing ADB into a special folder on your C: drive which is fine too. We will come back to this folder to run some commands later in the guide.
TWRP
You'll need TWRP which is a recovery (or "temp") operating system that will run on your phone when you're attempting to root your device. However, TWRP doesn't have an official version specific to the Redmi K20 Pro. Luckily, XDA Member madsponge26 has a list of TWRP options that will work for the Redmi K20 Pro in this thread. I recommend going with the TWRP Auto Install option. You can also download a compatible TWRP image from androidfilehost.com. Here's a link to version-3.3.1-13-raphael.
Once downloaded, extract the .zip file. It should contain 5 or 6 files. Copy all of the files and paste them into the ADB folder (if you're sticking with my recommendation, it will be the "platform-tools" folder). When you copy-and-paste these files, it may ask you if you want to replace some files with the same names. That's fine (they're the same). Just click "Yes." If you downloaded the TWRP image separately (say, from androidfilehost.com), just copy the twrp.img file into the same folder.
MAGISK
Next download Magisk.zip from the official Magisk github.com page. The latest version (for me) was Magisk v19.4. Don't bother unzipping it. This .zip file will be placed (as a .zip file) onto your phone.
DISABLE FORCE ENCRYPTION TREBLE
Also download Disable-Force-Encryption-Treble.zip. Like Magisk.zip, don't bother unzipping this file because you're going to place it (as a .zip file) onto your phone. Here's a Dropbox link to directly download the file. Otherwise you can download it from Androidfilehost.com.
FLASHING TWRP & ROOTING
Alright, you got all the software tools and now we're ready to proceed with flashing TWRP and Magisk.
With your phone powered on normally, plug your device into your computer with the USB cable.
Pull down on the screen to display the notifications. One of them should read "Android System" and indicate how the phone is interacting with your computer as a connected device. Switch it to "File Transfer." Your phone should now show up as a drive on your computer.
Open the "Redmi K20 Pro" drive on your computer and then open the "Internal shared storage" folder (it should be the only folder).
Drag and drop the Magisk.zip and the Disable-Force-Encryption-Treble.zip into that folder.
**SIDE NOTE: Some guides suggest that you wait until you're in TWRP to transfer these files. That's fine. To do so, wait until you're in the TWRP interface and then select "Mount" and "Enable MTP." Your phone's internal storage should appear as a device on your computer and you can then transfer the .zips.
Once transferred, unplug your phone from the computer and power it off.
Enter into Fastboot mode by pressing and and holding down the Volume Down button and the Power button at the same time. It may take several seconds. It will vibrate and then boot your phone into Fastboot mode.
Next, connect your phone to your computer with the USB cable.
Once you connect your phone to the computer via USB, you should hear the computer recognize the phone but you may not see it show up as a drive. That's okay.
Go to your computer and open a command line interface in the ADB folder (if you're sticking with my recommendation, it will be the "platform-tools" folder).
**NOTE: If you chose the Auto Install option of TWRP, you can simply double-click the file "flash_twrp.bat" and then skip to the next section (TWRP INTERFACE).
**TRICK: Go to the folder where you have the ADB file adb.exe and click in the file pathway (where it says "C:\Users\Username\Downloads\platform-tools_r29.0.4-windows\platform-tools" or whatever). Highlight and delete that file pathway, and instead type "cmd". Hit enter and it will open a terminal window already in the proper directory.
**SIDE NOTE: If you installed ADB/Fastboot universally, you can simply open the command line interface by clicking on Start and typing "cmd" to open a terminal window. Once in the terminal window, you can "cd" or change directory to the one where you have ADB. Also, you can use Powershell, but you may need to preference each Fastboot command with "./."
In that terminal window, make sure you're in the folder with adb.exe and then type this command:
fastboot devices
This command looks to make sure that the Fastboot platform recognizes your device. Next to "Fastboot Devices," you should see a series of numbers and letters. That series of numbers and letters is your phone identifier.. If you do not see any numbers/letters, then Fastboot does not see your phone and you need to troubleshoot the situation.
Next, type in the following command:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
What this is doing is identifying what platform to use (fastboot), telling it what you want to do (flash), in which directory you want to perform that action (recovery), and what file to use to flash it (twrp.img). It is important to note that, depending on how you installed TWRP, the .IMG file may be called "recovery.img" or "twrp.img" or some variation of the TWRP version number. You can either rename the file to "twrp.img" or you can type in the entire filename.
Once you hit enter, it will read something like:
target reported max download size of 805306368 bytes
sending 'recovery' (65536 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.437s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.254s]
finished. total time: 1.696s
Once it's finished, enter this command to boot into the temporary TWRP recovery operating system:
fastboot boot twrp.img
Once you hit enter, it will read something like:
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.428s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.138s]
finished. total time: 1.566s
TWRP INTERFACE
Unplug your phone from the USB. The screen will go black and you may see the "Redmi" logo come on the screen. After a few seconds, the TWRP title page will appear. Once the TWRP operating system powers on, you may be presented with the option to enter a PIN code (if you previously had one on your phone) or a passcode. Enter the PIN or code to get into the TWRP interface.
Once in TWRP, you will have several options. Click "Install" and scroll to the bottom of the file list to find the magisk.zip that you transferred onto your phone. Go ahead and swipe right to install it. Once the installation is complete, click "Reboot System" to power the phone back on normally.
That's it. Your Redmi K20 Pro should now be rooted.
If there are any problems, start the process over from the Fastboot interface on your computer (where you flashed TWRP onto your phone with "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"). Go through the same process, but before you install the Magisk.zip, first install the Disable-Force-Encryption-Treble.zip.
If this was helpful, please consider buying me a beer!

This should work but realistically all you really need to do is get all the drivers than go ahead and use mi flash tool to go to 10.3.16 fastboot Rom, can be found at mifirm, then go ahead and flash it make sure to select clean all, NOT clean all and Lock. (it's selected by default). Then proceed to install twrp, and flash any Rom you like, there are some modules for getting back nfc and Gpay so look around for them on here and boom you're all set.
Make sure you have an unlocked bootloader first obviously, after that it's relatively simple to install twrp, and after that it's smooth sailing. You just can't flash on stock European firmware as all these ROMs are based on the Chinese or Indian firmwares and vendors, and as a result will brick your phone,if you try to flash on 10.3.3. Trust me I've done it before and it's not fun.
Good luck :fingers-crossed:

Well you should realistically read the forums but this is basically what I did
1. Unlock Bootloader using official mi unlock tool, (make an acc. wait a week or so)
2. Get the mi flash tool preferably latest, download fastboot Rom CN 10.3.16 from mifirm (Google it)
3.Go to fastboot mode in phone plug it in, press refresh for port to be detected, extract the mifirm Rom to desktop select the second folder before images option
4. Flash the fastboot Rom make sure to select clean all, DO NOT FLASH CLEAN ALL AND LOCK. (Will brick your phone and you'll be sticked with a locked bootloader)
5. Flash process takes 5 mins roughly, boot in setup lockscreen pass remember it for twrp setup.
6. Flash twrp via fastboot or adb, use the raphael variant latest found on the forum
7. Boot into twrp and enter screen lock to decrypt phone
8. Download any Rom and GAPPS, flash them and you should boot just fine.
Proceed to install magisk, and any other modules you want (vanced, Gpay, etc)
There is a 10.3.17 version for Chinese fastboot Rom available not sure of its compatibility so don't bother just stick to 10.3.16
Very simple once you have an unlocked bootloader just be careful when using the mi flash tool.
Good luck :good:

7. Boot into twrp and enter screen lock to decrypt phone
8. Download any Rom and GAPPS, flash them and you should boot just fine.
Proceed to install magisk, and any other modules you want (vanced, Gpay, etc)
There is a 10.3.17 version for Chinese fastboot Rom available not sure of its compatibility so don't bother just stick to 10.3.16
Very simple once you have an unlocked bootloader just be careful when using the mi flash tool.
Good luck :good:

I used CN 10.3.17 version and works fine.
Not working?
Hey, i tried doing this but the phone does not boot into TWRP after i send
fastboot boot "C:\Users\loren\Desktop\Root Mi9T\twrp-3.3.1-13-raphael-mauronofrio.img"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Instead, it reboots to system, then when i reboot it again it does a couple of bootloops then enters Mi Recovery; to get it to work again i have to wipe all data.
Any ideas? I'm on MIUI 10.3.2.0 EU

Nevermind, i fixed it - instead of sending that i sent a simple fastboot reboot while pressing volume up. Booted into TWRP, installed disable-encryption and magisk, cleaned cache, and rebooted like a charm.
Thank you for the guide!
I tried to flash twrp on my mi9 t pro miui 10.3.2 global ( for some reason that's the latest ota i got don't know if its a fake rom ) , but can't get to recovery , i tried some versions of twrp but can't get to it with vol + and power button. I get 1st logo than screen fades to black , 1 time it took me to miui recovery.
By the way the miui version im on don't have the option to manually update ( manually select the update zip ),
Does this make it a fake rom?
Also if i try to install from the latest package from the updarer app can it fix my missing miui recovery or brick my phone?
Don't use XiaomiTools v2, my OS was corrupted and stuck at Mi logo after attempting to unlock bootloader and flash TWRP recovery.
Better to do so using official mi unlock to unlock bootloader and ADB fastoot to flash TWRP
I used xiaomi tool v2 to unlock boolader, install twrp and xiaomi eu beta (9.10.17). The tool did it all for me, no drivers, no adb no commands used, nothing else but the tool (xiaomi mi 9t pro eea, windows 10)
Try this for MIUI 11
Install the ADB-Fastboot USB Driver.
Unlock the bootloader of your phone.
Flash TWRP on Redmi K20 Pro / Mi 9T Pro. You may also use Wzsx150’s TWRP if you want; it’s in Chinese tho.
Download Xiaomi.eu MIUI 11 ROM from the link above.
Reboot your phone to the TWRP Recovery mode.
Choose Wipe > Format Data then type Yes to confirm.
Copy the Xiaomi.eu MIUI 11 Zip file to your phone.
Choose Install > locate the ROM Zip file > Swipe to confirm flash.
Choose Reboot > System.
Set up Google Account and you are good to go.

It would be nice if this worked for me........followed every single step and it will not boot into TWRP, it either gets stuck in a boot loop or it goes to the build in MiRecovery, and to get around this i need to force wipe the phone with MiRecovery, i quite literally am not allowed to install TWRP so i gotta go the other route to install Magisk and root my phone.......on EU version of the K20 pro if anybody else is having this issue or knows a fix.
I can't boot into TWRP.
Bootloader is unlocked.
I tried both TWRP, auto Install and version-3.3.1-13-raphael. Both install with "OK". On any of them when I send fastboot boot twrp.img I get again OK's, the screen goes black and it just stay there... any ideas? thanks!
Edit: yesterday I installed OTA update and then I did the bootloader unlock. I discovered in settings that my USB developer was not enabled (disabled after update/or unlock) - could this be a reason for TWRP not working?
Thanks for the guide. Couldn't install Magisk 20.1 via "TWRP 3.3.1-22 Unofficial by mauronofrio", however, was able to do it through TWRP 3.3.1-21.
K20 Pro India on MIUI 11.0.1.0.
Note: in the command 'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img' I thought 'recovery' was the source (computer) folder, but it was actually specifying the folder in the destination (phone).

intersting :what you mean by ##Note: in the command 'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img' I thought 'recovery' was the source (computer) folder, but it was actually specifying the folder in the destination (phone).[/QUOTE]
## i do as always flash the twrp via cmd
1- fastboot devices
2- fast flash recovery " recoveryname.img "
3- fastboot reboot like that
what source you ?
The OP does a great job of explaining what each command does. If you're used to DOS commands, then when you issue a command that has a file name (eg: copy), you would specify a 'source directory' and a 'destination directory'. If the command contains only a single directory, then you won't get to know whether it's supposed to be a source directory or destination, unless it's specified explicitly. That's what I meant. But I guess if you know your way around android adb commands and such, you wouldn't have that confusion. I'm kinda new to this, so it wasn't obvious to me.

Don´t resolved
My phone is also like this, asks the 30 days so I can solve the brick, tried mi unlock 2.2.406.5 but it also did not work. Someone help, I don't want to wait 30 days.When I take the internet cable to try tbm, it says error unknown (-1)
After updating to latest update, now the phone only shows background with either the "LOCKED" or "UNLOCKED" icon on the top and is constantly flickers on/off every second.
No response on the touchscreen either.

Am currently downloading a stock rom (https://www.mediafire.com/file/bu4s...21062302340000_%28Mobileguru4.com%29.zip/file).
In the meantime, I installed the drivers for realme and the Realme Flashtool. Plugged in the phone to the PC using the cable however, the device is not recognized by the Realme Flashtool software, or is not "detecting" the phone.
(The driver I installed was this: https://www.mediafire.com/file/d3xf...river_Setup_V2.0.1.1_MobileGuru4.com.zip/file)
I have a guess on what it might be that's causing it (inside the developer settings option, sensors option). Not sure how to turn that **** off without being able to access the phone.

Download Driver Booster app (free version), run in and find Android drivers option and install. It will clear most of the driver issues.
Realme Flashing tool is not working and no other flashing tool worked forme, only fastboot method is worked good
Llatest stock images not having partitions of System and Vendor, they may be userdata and others.
Install "Minimal ADB Fastboot" and then download latest Stock OFP file.
Erase Data, if possible flash OrngeFox / custom recovery and format the phone.
Download this OFP to Scatter format (Link: https://softwarerom.blogspot.com/2021/03/ofp-file-cmd-converter-ofp-file-extract.html) and unzip it
Copy Latest Stock OFP to this folder and Just push the OFP to Qualcomm... Exe file, it will open a command prompt and create a folder contains some files & folder including Images,
Copy all the image files to Minimal ADB Fastboot folder, open Minimal ADB fastboot command prompt and copy all the images like, recovery, boot, vbmeta, userdata and so on using "Fastboot Flash Name Name.img" commands and reboot.
It worked for me.
The problem has reoccurred, exact same problem issue (browsing playstore, exited, closed phone, a moment later after opening up the phone) same thing happened, screen just flickering on&off.
I dont get how such problem could occur, now am certain its not the (sensor thing) cus this time (after PHONE WIPE) I did not play with any of those settings or (dev settings).
Honestly, if any1 experienced this, or might have a clue whats causing it.

Its not a drivers issue, was able to plug in phone after having wiped the phone data (a complete reset), but did reinstall just incase, thx.
Also, I dont see how that fixes the issue (its a stock firmware)
Phone was working just fine after hard reset/wipe.. for a few months that is.
