LG H850 with Android6 has huge memory issues - LG G5 Questions & Answers

The phone does take forever to boot up and almost no app is really working, the camera app for example won't start at all.
This is caused by this behavior
C:\Android>adb shell /data/local/tmp/dirtycow /system/bin/applypatch /data/local/tmp/dirtycow
warning: new file size (9984) and file old size (66512) differ

Can anyone tell me please how I can delete this ? I already tried to flash the firmware via the LG software, but it is impossible.
I really appreciate a helping hand from someone who has a clue here, what's to do to reset the phone to normal.

Don't know what happened to your phone. But, why you don't just kdz back to stock?

It's not working, any other solution you might have ?

kdz file invalid => you should download it again, it may be corrupted.

You're trying to flash a H850K file onto your phone, are you using a H850 or a H850K.
The H850K is not the European model, download a H850 rom from lg-firmwares.com.

I am using the H850K from Telstra, Australia. But this KDZ file H85010c_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0415, it had no installation problems, so I got rid off its branding of Telstra.

Oh, I see, this is not H850 EU. Have you tried to use refurbish option rather than upgrade one?

You need to start again and explain exactly what you've done, are you now saying you've flashed a H850 ROM onto an Australian H850K phone and this is where all of these problems have started?

tried the refurbish thingy, does not work either. gave the same message, tool is crashing afterwards.

Yes, but there was no problem at all. The problem only started when trying to root this phone., because it is unable to go into fastboot mode. Until step 10 everything went fine with this explanation. https://www.idroidspace.com/root-lg-g5/ And now it is running like a mess. I am note sure if the phone still is repairable ?

What events lead up to your bootloop problem?
If you didn't unlock the bootloader you should be able to get LG or your carrier to flash for you.

To tell you the truth I kind of don't know because it was working fine the day before this happens and when the next day came I try to check the time but the phone was dead.....
Then i relized that 2 days before this happen i tried rooting it which i wasint really good at or even knew how to root it so i download a kdz file and im guessing that is what probably caused but what i dont understand is when i try recovering it using lg support and when it gets to the update mode it keeps on stopping at 50% saying there was a problem between the phone and pc I tried using another computer and it told me the same problem.
P.s. I took it to a phone store they said it could fixed for 60 and they even said it just need an new kdz

Maybe try a different .kdz from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2107971
Sometimes files fail to download the way they should - maybe you have a corrupted kdz file and a new one will work?
Edit: Or maybe try the official update, you have instructions here: http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-LGP769BK
P.S. If I was you, I'd simply unlock bootloader, flash a recovery and format from recovery. Then, I'd flash a ROM.

need modem of a unlocked h901

so i've tried everything to unlock this v10 and so far no go.I need an unlocked phone modem to compare to a locked one and see exactly causing the lock or if i can just flash an unlocked and it will work?
Also can't flash modem of any other variant or else you will be bricked for good.
so i tried flashing system and boot partitions of a lot of different variants to try and get unlock prompt to pop up.
H900(at&t) no boot
H900PR(brazil ver) same thing as at&t no boot at all
H960TR(turkey) hangs on boot animation
H960 (vietnamese ver) same thing as with 960tr hangs boot animation
F600k(boots perfectly, but no sim unlock menu)
F600L(again boots perfectly but no sim unlock menu)
Starting to notice anything? similar model names have similar behaviors ex. h900 and h900pr show exact same boot fault
So, the only possible way is the modem!
can someone with a unlocked t mobile modem please upload theirs. i'm going to flash the unlocked modem and use the f600k system so no tmobile bull**** can lock it again.I really think this could work as long as no stock tmobile rom is installed.I would really really appreciate it as im stuck with this phone rn.
ALSO , here is how to easily get modem partition if you have root.Download "partitions backup and restore" in playstore by wanam
check firmwire/modem in green and backup and that's it! tested myself and works.
So please if you have a unlocked tmobile v10 and are rooted it would very helpful if you could take a few mins to backup modem and upload it.
ok as an incentive im adding a 10$ bounty through paypal.i need the following 5 modem partitions backup using flashfire.
Modem firmware aka modem
Modem firmware data #1 aka modemst1
Modem firmware data #2 aka modem st2
Modem firmware FSG aka fsg
Modem firmware SSD asa ssd
Download flashfire by chainfire from playstore and backup the above partitions and upload them.i've backed up these partitions my self on my v10 so yes it works.I only put a bounty because this device barely has any dev half of these v10 are dead lol also im patient from trying to unlock this thing ffs.First one with the CORRECT partitions i will reach out via pm.
Quick 10$ takes no more than 10 min!!
Backing it up right now as I type this. Whats the best way for me to upload this for you?
EDIT: here is the link, backed up via Flashfire and then zipped up, no password. My phone is currently running stock rooted Eliminator ROM (software version H90120L) https://www.dropbox.com/s/a3l518nse4vkj4q/LGv10Modem.zip?dl=0

Thank so much man for taking the time.no i dont need the compressed ver.i meant to ask if your v10 is network unlocked (permanent via the t mobile device unlock app) . I need these modem files from an NETWORK UNLOCKED device.if its not i really really appreciate it anyways!i should be been more clear lol

Not sure if I did that or not. The phone is paid off so I would assume I can put it on another network. I've moved on to the newer model v20.
Question, why would the modem firmware change whether it's unlocked or not? Wouldn't that be done via firmware update?
Sent from my LG V20 using XDA Labs
Nope.tmobile has locked these down using the device unlock app.if you never used it on another network other than tmo then its most likely not network unlocked.even if its paid off, you have to contact tmo to request a permanent unlock.once they give you the green light for the unlock then you just use the device unlock app that comes on the tmo phone and hit permanent unlock. modem files hold the unlock info in this case.as i said above ive tried roms from even the international variant only to be greeted by the network locked notification.im sure theres at least one person with a network unlocked tmo v10 lurking around these fourms lol.again i appreciate you taking your time to help!
I will look into getting it unlocked. No big deal for me to do so since i don't use the phone anymore

Here you go my friend, V3 is device unlocked. Used the T-Mobile app Device Unlock. Went through the process. Phone rebooted and a toast notification popped up saying phone permanently unlocked. I suppose you can compare both V2 and V3 to see what changed?

Well, i just gave up.i tried everything, this phone is just locked down tight.The phone would not flash the modem.bin at all through fastboot or flashfire since it is a locked partition.I managed to flash the modem firmwire 1 and 2 since they are not locked partitions through flashfire.Phone still not unlocked, so i tried flashing http://lgviet.com/forum/threads/rom-radeonmaya-t-mobile-h901-v4-0-update-19-11-2016.58894/ rom and it has a working sim unlock menu but it says phone cannot be unlocked or something.so i flashed the modem firmwires again and run the sim unlock app and it prompts me for a code! I had my unlock code from ebay and entered it and it said network unlock successful and the phone rebooted itself.But after rebooting it still showed network locked.i think it needs to be on stock rom.i tried porting the sim unlock menu to stock but it doesnt even open.i just gave up on this phone, i just use it like an ipod lol.we have unlocked modem files though i cant find a way to flash it.it just might be what we need.flashfire wont flash protected partitions (modem is protected) and also fastboot keeps through an error when trying to flash anything.the only way to flash the unlocked modem bin is with LGUP.ive managed to extract stock kdz and replace the modem.bin with the unlocked one but i dont know how to convert it back to a kdz or tot so we can flash the modified kdz.also maybe 7.0 has some modem changes? Or i might just try flash modem of korean variant though i would be just testing my luck as it will result 99% a hard brick. 4 ways to do possibly unlock this
Port sim unlock menu to stock rom 99% chance your phone will unlock
Flash modified modem.bin somehow through lgup or lg flashtool.good chance this will work as well
Wait and see if you can expliot something in nougat .if were lucky this might have something.
Sending AP commands through Modem.i tried this myself.it seems you can only communicate with modem with the korean or tizen rom.you can send the command AP%ULCW.
UlCW=unlock code write.so you can write the unlock code through direct comm with modem via usb but i dont know the correct format to enter the code as it keeps throwing an error.
Still thanks to @amoot329 for coming in clutch with the files.when nougat comes out i'll try messing with it again but honestly this phone is useless lol.

But how can we edit build.prop? The device is in MM already and it can't be rooted.
Only root can access and modify the build.prop file.
Do you have a method to flash the verizon firmware to the refurbished device renamed as H900 AT&T device?
I tried to flash it with LGUP it says KDZ file is invalid. With LG Flash Tool I've also got an error.

There are 3rd party flash tools you can use and try

Try oldest one as it will ignore all restrictions
i have not tried it myself but here is the method to edit build prop without root.
adb pull /system/build.prop <path to save file>
Now edit the file you just extracted and save it
Push it back to your phone via adb
adb push <path to your file> /system/build.prop
You're not done yet. You need to set permissions too
So open she'll via terminal
adb shell
Now from shell, set the right permissions
chmod 644 /system/build.prop
And you're done

Can you explain to us clearly what flashing tool you used and, if possible, what kdz file you used too(and DLLs if necessary)
Everything on this thread seems to be a bluff...
I could not find any evidence of anyone actually being successful flashing the VS990 rom on to an H900.
Until someone has a well-described process and proof of functionality, I don't think anyone here should believe what is being stated.

Oreo just dropped in Canada. Thoughts?

Hey there guys, so I did as I'm sure many of you do out of habit and checked for an update this morning. Low and behold with zero announcement Oreo is here!!! I couldn't be happier, but am I the only one who noticed it's dated for April 24th?? What're your guys thoughts on that? Did lg hold out on us, or maybe the carrier?
So this is Christmas...
And how many Thread About the Canadian Oreo we do Need further?

If you have PC access you can go ahead and grab the kdz and flash it with lgup. So long as you're sure your phone is an h873

It shouldn't but backup just in case
It's always better to do a factory reset after a change in Android version, eg. 7.0 to 8.0, so would recommend back up now.. When you change to Oreo, reset afterwards., then restore.

The KDZ will work regardless of your carrier, so long as your device is an H873.
I flashed it on my Koodo H873 last night and it works perfectly. Just be sure to check off upgrade in LGUP so you don't lose any of your data. Open LGUP using Uppercut.
As long as you don't unplug your phone during the upgrade, you will not brick.

Ok flashed kdz with uppercut.Worked like a dream.Only thing is when i tick on refurbished it wont allow me.So just ticked upgrade.Lost all my data but I can rebuild from scratch no prob.As far as new UX is a big no.Its still UX6.Not really alot of visual changes.Most just in software and a few tweaks thrown in.Not really impressed as opposed to Nuegat

The navbar icons are the same as the V30, but as far as the rest of the UX, I have no clue.

Of course!
Assuming you've downloaded the KDZ, the only other steps are getting LGUP and Uppercut. Just google them, you should be able to find them.
Install LGUP (Make sure it is version 1.14) and run Uppercut. It may trigger a virus warning, so you should disable your antivirus temporarily. It is not a virus.
Plug your USB cable into your computer WITHOUT the phone plugged in.
Shut off your device and plug it in while holding the volume up button. It will enter download mode.
Finally, in the LGUP interface, it should show your device model on Standby. Check off "Upgrade" if you do not want to lose your data, or "Refurbish" if you want to factory reset it. In the list at the bottom, select "BIN" and click on the three dot button. It will prompt you to choose your KDZ.
Assuming you did everything right, click on Start. DO NOT TOUCH YOUR PHONE WHILE IT IS UPDATING. When the progress bar in LGUP reaches 100% and your phone enters the "Android is Upgrading" screen, you may unplug your device and wait for it to boot.
Voila, you have Oreo! Please PM me if anything goes wrong.
In the future, please look for an existing thread for flashing instructions. I will make an exception here because you are new to flashing, and I know it is confusing.

lg g8x model number has changed after android 11 update

My lg g8x lmg850emw that had android 10 has now tuned into a model lmg850um when the device updated to android 11
i then re installed the android 10 firmware and it goes back to correct model
And even when updating through lg bridge, the model is always wrong when on android 11.
would be amazing if someone can help or knows anything about this issue.
Maybe ill just send the phone back.
Or does something like this not happen naturally haha?
Yes - I have the same issue, flashed to android 11 kdz from here: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-lmg850emw-firmwares/ now my phone model is UM.
Where did you buy the phone from? I bought it from aliexpress refurbished, the seller must have done something to these phones.
One thing I did notice is that if I flash a different abl file onto it, then it reads correctly as EMW.

I got the ABL from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...nlock-and-magisk-root-using-firehose.4221793/
The thing is not to worry even if you F it up - you can always flash the ABL from the KDZ file.
What I'd recommend you do is remember which KDZ you flashed and keep a copy of it.
My frustation was I couldn't get into fastboot mode at all. When I flashed this abl - suddenly flashboot worked (wtf!!!) the next issue was I couldn't get the oem device-id that LG tells you to get - just wasn't working.
In the end I thought what the hell lets just run the unlock bootloader command and voila, bootloader unlocked as simple as that! Rooting it easy once you have fastboot or EDL mode as you dump the ABL file and use magisk to patch it and then reflash back to the phone (both boot_a and boot_b)

I think the only way to do that is to flash a different ABL file into it - however does it really matter? Mine says G850UM but functions fine (dual sim etc).
I'm having a similar issue but I have the US Unlocked variant (G850QM). I can't update the device because it's saying I can't change the model from T-MOBILE. Tried both LG Bridge and LGUP. OTA portion of the phone says no update.
It shows everywhere that it's the QM model. No idea what to do. I purchased it second hand and it was already on Android 11.
Edit: Fixed it, see this thread, I hyperlinked to the start of my post: [Tutorial] Crossflash, Bypass OPID Mismatched Error
