hello guys, first of all excuse my english its not my main language. i really need your help! about a week ago, i unlocked the bootloader/rooted my moto e XT1021 and put cm12 nightly on it. after a couple of days, it asked me to do a cyanogenmod system update via OTA, so i did. but when it first booted the phone after that, it kept saying that the user UI crashed, everytime. so i couldn't go anywhere on my phone! I tried wiping cache and dalvik cache, nothing worked. so i wiped all the data on my phone and unroot it and put a stock firmware on it. at this point, i saw that i did not have any signal on my phone, but I taught it wasnt really important, so i re-rooted it and I flashed cm12 again. It worked great but i didnt have no service.. so i check on google and all that to see if i could fix this, i tried flashing the rom with TWRP and CWM, and it didnt change anything. I tried flashing an earlier version of the cm12 nightly, didnt work. now i put back the stock rom again, nothing is working! oddly, when i look in about phone > status, I CAN see my phone number and my IMEI are there. but it says that radio is off. for that, i tried doing *#*#4636#*#* in my dialer to go in the phone information menu to activate the radio, but nothing worked. and when i go to my quick settings, I can see that my airplane mode is off, but when i hold the power button and see the shut down options, it tells me that my airplane mode is on! I really dont know what to do, and i really need your help. i know its a long read, but please help me out! if you need more info just tell me maybe i forgot some things.. thanks alot

You most probably flashed the wrong firmware for your device. You need to find the correct firmware or a firmware for the same region, e.g. if you have a UK version device then the EU firmware should work too, but if you flash the Brazilian firmware you will lose GSM signal. If you flash the wrong firmware version and then flash any custom ROM you will still not have GSM signal, so you need to flash the correct firmware and then the custom ROM.
If you are unsure which is the correct firmware for your device, go to bootloader mode, open command window (cmd.exe) and enter the following:
Code:
fastboot getvar ro.build.version.full
You will get the correct firmware version in output.

You didn't paste the complete version so i can't read it (version is broken in 2 lines).
Is it RETCA XT1023? If yes try flashing this.

That is a retail US variant, not sure if it's XT1023 or XT1021 though, you can find out by reading the label on the box of your device.
You can find the stock firmwares for US devices here.
If this doesn't help you then write a post in this thread and OP (lost101) can probably help you out.

Actually i'm not a hero, in fact i was in the same boat as you. I didn't have the stock ROM (or its details) for my device when i flashed CM11 so when i wanted to return to the stock ROM i found an XT1021 US stock ROM thinking that because it's XT1021 it should work on my GB device, i flashed it and the outcome was: no GSM signal. Then i posted in the thread i shared in my previous post and the OP (lost101) found the GB stock ROM for me, i flashed it and got GSM signal back.

Hey you shouldn't have flashed the 4 g fiware on your device. Now your radio will never work until the firmware for CDMA variants release.

Even I messed up with my CDMA variant a lot of times
1. Get root and TWRP (LGOneClickRootRecovery) ---> https://www.dropbox.com/s/2shvozzbu29xjfu/LGG2-D802-OneClickRootRecoveryV1.1.zip?dl=0
2. Go to TWRP and update TWRP by flashing zip file ---> http://www.gregtwallace.com/lgg2-projects/twrp/?version=3.1.0-1
3. Go to TWRP and wipe everything except internal storage
4. Flash LineageOS 14.1 & Gapps ----> https://download.lineageos.org/d802 & http://opengapps.org/
5. Reboot system
Edit: i tested it only on my lg d802 so u have to look for files for your device
Edit: backup your data before
Thanks, I bought a used G2 today and these links were very useful to me.

stock recovery mean doesn't flash Twrp or CWM anyway you can download KDZ (rom LP ) and flash it by LG up or LG flash tool
Thanks, this is really great and i'll use soon... The only thing i think that isn't there its and advice from backup of EFS partition at least the first time (for noobs)
Please do not use this if you have an ATT variant... This guy doesn't mention this is for T-Mobile only.

Hello ! You have to flash D802 version and D806 modem because if you dont do that you will have loss of total signal when its 4G and you have to reboot (my experience)... And LineageOS have random reboots with F2FS... Thats all i think :laugh:
Well, for some unknown reason OneClickRecovery didn't do it's job properly and when I rebooted to go into recovery it actually did a factory reset and I lost all my valuable data. Worked second time but I'm so fcked now.

Does your bootloader status matter when doing this or is it somehow solved by the tool? Also, can you flash Resurrection Remix (Nougat) using the same method?
Hi !
I'm from france, and I've just received an old LG G2 D802 on Android 5.0.2.
The previous owner of the phone told me that it was rooted, but the application "root checker" says the contrary.
In order to be sure, do I need to do a reset, or can I just simply start this procedure ?
Also, does the TWRP update is mandatory, because the last version of TWRP recovery on their website is 2.8.7.0, it is not sufficient ?
Thanks !

Hello All
I would really appreciate the help on my situation.
I have bought a new motherboard from aliexpress. and it turns out the board is a VS990 with H901 5.1 installed on it.
Its working like a charm now I received the OTA update to android 6 but I am very scared to go ahead with the update as it will most probably brick the phone. Has anyone experienced same situation? Do i go ahead and let it do the OTA update? If not is there anyway I can install Nugget on my (Half / Half) setup ?
I will very much appreciate the help please.

My motherboard also had vs990 printed on it but the "t" link is soldered. So my v10 is a h901, which makes sense since I bought mine from my local T-Mobile store right after release.
If you plan on rooting do not take the ota. It is much easier to root on 5.1 (10c), the fastboot commands are still intact. All updates after 5.1 get more difficult to root. Once rooted there is twrp flashable .zip in the development forum to safely bring you to the latest 7.0 update (30c) and is also a full firmware update.

That is great.. I will read them all very carefully and I will try to do it tommorrow.
2 points :
First I have already installed TWRP recovery for LG V10 H901 (File: twrp-2.8.7.1-h901.img & SuperSU v2.56 and now i am rooted.
Second I am sure now even without looking at the Link that my board is a H901 else I think the boot loader would have never been simply unlocked. Dont you agree?

SuperSU is abandoned. TWRP 2.8.7.1 can't flash nougat, you'll need to upgrade to the 3.2.1 I linked but will only have to flash the .zip from TWRP. SuperSU will get removed when you flash the system updates so then you should have no problem installing magisk, just do a factory reset in TWRP after you do the updates before magisk to remove and data from SuperSU that my be left.
Your 2nd point is dead on, the h901 is the only US carrier branded v10 that can be bootloader unlocked. True vs990's were locked down tight in true Verizon fashion.

Looking the posts you shared i understand that i cant upgrade 5.1 directly to nugget.. Corrent me if i am wrong. If not then which 6.0 should i flash using rtwp? And can i upgrade instead of wiping over the rooted 5.1? I would love to keep my apps and setting.

That's the point of these twrp flashable updates, to update without wipeing . For the Android 6.0 updates use the part 1 (firmware) and part 2 (system, boot) 20L files in this thread.

It is still heavily suggested to wipe when changing major Android versions. Minor updates within the same version don't cause too much trouble, but data structure varies between major version updates. All this being said some people don't have problems with dirty (no wipe) flashes.

I dont understand why this happened . I followed the exact steps .. Downloaded Part 1 L and Part 2 L
Flashed part 1 with TWRP and did not reboot. Then flashed Part 2.. Then rebooted.. Now my phone doesnt even turn on.
This must be a hard brick.. I cant even go into TWRP any more .. and no logo appears.. the phone is detected on PC as QSUSB_BULK

There are a few threads that discuss recovering from bricked 20J software that you could try. (20L is said to be the only software that can downgrade, but only to 20J) Most people had LG do warranty exchange. This is the frustrating part of LG phones, how easy LG made it to brick if you didn't fully read up on what you were doing.

The unbricking thread should have some input on that problem, just search for it.

I recently broke my phone and went out and purchased a cheap AT&T phone, after poking around a bit i discovered oem unlock was in the developer settings
I hop on my pc ran adb reboot bootloader, and it boots to fastboot mode just fine
I run fastboot oem unlock, and to my surprise that worked aswell. I rebooted and saw a 'unlocked bootloader' message from AT&T telling me my device wasen't official
but it booted up fine a few seconds later. My question is, is there some form of root for this device? Any help is appreciated !
Just to clarify i have already tried a multitude of '1click root apps' and pc tools and none of those worked, I'm more interested in finding the stock firmware or atleast boot.img so i can install magisk
Specs :
LG Phoneix 4 (LM-X210 )
Android Version : 7.1.2
Kernal Version : 3.18.31
Build Number : N2G47H
Software Number : X210APM10d
(sorry if this is messy or posted in the wrong place i've been a long time lurker but this is my first post lol)

Hey for anyone else with this question there is a root method. Head over to Tec's Aristo 2 Tutorial's. Someone with this device confirmed that it works. Also an upgrade from the LG Pheonix 4, to LG Aristo 2+ with Oreo Firmware to escape nougat.
Also... This phone is the exact same phone as the Aristo 2, 2+, and K8+ so I think you guys should flash some Aristo 2 stuff. It will work wonders!

I can confirm this root method for the Aristro 2 will also work for the Phoenix 4 on 7.1.2
link to tutorial, please?
Stop!! The method for Aristro 2 does not work for other variant like the LG Phoenix 4 or the LG rebel 4. You will end up with no touch screen. Again, this method is only for Aristro 2 variant
If you have any other variant do not try this.

What did you do? What varient of the phone are you on? You don't need to install the firmware. Your bootloader is unlockable. I need someone to send me a backup of there boot image so I can patch it for device specific usage. Then I can use meld to merge the Aristo 2 boot and Phoenix 4 boot images. If there are still sceptics so be it. The phone is the exact same as the Aristo 2 and probably the only other cv1 device compatible with the root method.

Listen, everything went well, the unlock, twrp, even lineage os but if you touch the screen, it does nothing. Restoring stock didnt even work. Ended up taking the phone back and exchanging it for an Alcatel beings no more lg Phoenix 4 was in. My wife has a lg rebel 4 but im not trying it with hers. I should add though, touch did work in twrp, but twrp only.
WOO WOO!
Hello everyone, can anyone confirm that bootloader is unlockable after oreo update? I am thinking about working with this phone!
Thanks

Updating LG Phoenix 4 to Oreo re locks bootloader and disables fastboot!

Okay then you should just use twrp. Lineage. I need to make device specific roms.

No what im saying is that once you go through this process, no matter what you put on there, custom or stock, the touch screen does not work. Only in twrp does it work but not in any rom, not even reverting to stock or applying backups work. Im saying, once this phone has twrp on it, touch screen only work in twrp, nowhere else, no matter what.
Android 8???
I have the phoenix 4 lm x210apm with android 7.1.2
and I do not have android 8.1, it does not update

Ok, do you mind making a backup of your OP partition. Also I need to know your stock firmware version. I'm going to consult technight with that firmware version to make a new 7.1.2/1 and possibly an 8.1 ROM for you. It will take a bit but now that you guys have TWRP we can work on getting everything else to work. Honestly I think the touchscreen isn't working because the OP partitions are different. Did you install TWRP 3.1.2.0 and one of the Aristo 2 ROMs?
Try this method. If it none of it works let me know.

But it should have a firehose available. I'm sorry for your loss if not.
Does anyone know if magisk works on the Phoenix 4? Or will there be a bootloop issue ?

I've got one of these AT&T LG Phoenix 4 phones, but it's stuck on 7.12 since I gave away the AT&T SIM and AT&T will only update when on their network. Anyway, I'm interested in at least getting it updated to stock Oreo or perhaps a custom ROM. Let me know if there's something I can do to help (not sure how to backup OP partition). I see in the forums that there a few people with the AT&T version of this phone who can't update so hopefully this could help a few people out.

So right now you need to follow the steps on the Aristo 2 forums to get TWRP Recovery. After that I can start working on getting a base for the LG Phoenix 4 version of the Oreo ROM.

I'm a little wary about flashing that TWRP recovery since it sounds like the few people that have successfully done that end up with the touchscreen not working, and even re-flashing stock does not recover it.
Is there anyone here that has flashed TWRP without adverse effects?
