Looking for stock firmware for AT&T V30 (H931). I just picked up a unit that is showing userdebug on the home screen. Hoping a full flash will remove that.
Thanks!

Before you return to full stock check if you have fastboot commands like try fastboot get cid

I'll try. I can't restore to stock until I actually find a stock firmware to fiash.
I booted into what I t hink if fastboot mode. here's what I tried with the results:
fastboot cid <--- invalid command cmd
fastboot get cid <-- invalid command get
fastboot getvar unlocked gave this:
unlocked: no
finished. total time: 0.002s
What other commands would you like me to try?

Well have you tried factory reseting from settings>accounts>reset and backup>reset and if that doesnt work power off the device and hold power+ volume down and when the lg logo shows up let go of the power button for one second, then press and hold it again while holding volume down that will boot to recovery and will let you reset manually. Let me find a youtube link just incase this was a bit confusing ill edit in a couple of minutes

it has a custom firmware on it so I can't get updates at all. Looking at the sofware info I see the build number as:
joan_att_us-userdebug 7.1.2 N2G47H
<some numbers> test-keys
This is clearly some custom build that someone did (Joan?). Factory resetting is not going to fix that. I need to find the H93110e (or h) current firmware and flash that to really get back to stock.

Gotcha, yeah thats odd to have on a production unit. i would try to unlock the bootloader if that where me lol so don't do it. Maybe try lg bridge to get a normal build on there and if worst comes to worst just do a warranty exchange when you can.

The hardware rev is still 1.0 so I'm hoping it's the same as a retail unit. Seems good. Just waiting for a stock firmware to be posted online (I'm sure it will get out eventually) to see if I can flash it to stock and then take OTAs.

I'm just curious on the bootloader since you are on debugging software. I'll trade you my fully functional H932 jk. I already bootloader unlocked my tmobile variant at the cost of my warranty and I wouldnt want someone else to void there 2 year warranty just for the sake of tinkering like me. I'll do some searching for that kdz to help out. I'll link it if i find it.

Maybe. I'm hoping it's internally identical to production unit and will take a stock firmware. Fingers crossed.
I've got the same type of unit - it has the same joan userdebug software on it. Were you able to locate a stock firmware for it?

Where'd you return it to? I sent mine to LG for warranty repair. They kept it for 10 days and then just sent it back saying "TEST PHONE: UNABLE TO REPAIR" I thought they would've at least flashed the stock firmware but no such luck. I'm messing with the hidden menu to see if I can get rid of the userdebug imprint on it.

Have you tried using Repair with LG Bridge? If it doesn't work you need a person with AT&T V30 that does that(or just a firmware update) and then checks logs to give you url to the firmware.

I had purchased it from eBay so the user really had no choice but to take it back and give me a refund. He had not disclosed that it was running a non-stock firmware and that the headphone jack was damaged.
Is there a fix to the joan_att_us-userdebug watermark?

Hello I like to know if there is news from the following problem "unrecoverable error bootloader <0x00000004>." thank you
No, sorry, your Prime is dead. We don't know any way to recover from this error.
May I ask what you did to get there?
I feel like crying, I was under CyanogenMod9 but I did not like so I pressed on with an ICS official version I followed the tutorial to make change rom and voila the result. This is final or you will find a way in a long time, you think that the guarantee can work?

So you flashed a stock ASUS bloblfile. Yea this definitely bricks ylour Prime.
Currently there is no way to recover from this, only ASUS themselfs can do.
At the momemt your Prime is absolutely dead and it's pretty unlikely this will ever change.
Can you tell me what OTA the was the latest you applied BEFORE unlocking the bootloader? Were you on .15 already? Or below .15?
yes i was on 0.15
I have only hope that the guarantee works
its worth a shot but you know what Asus said will happen once you unlocked that bootloader with their tool. they have your serial number in their system as someone who unlocked. good luck! let us know how it goes.
I have not done with their tool to unlock the bootloader, so they do not have my serial number

If my phone is still under warranty would I be able to get a replacement one if it has software problems like being stuck at lg logo and saying security error?
I think they wouldn't replace it but fix it for you. What have you done to your phone?

My bootloader is unlocked.One day on stock rom like a week after flashing a fresh kdz my phone just crashed so now whenever I start my phone there is a dead android with a red triangle over it. Whenever I flash a new kdz it changes nothing, my phone still boots to a dead android with a red triangle over it. I think it may be stuck in a recovery bootloop. So after I thought that, I used omap4boot and entered fastboot mode and flashed me a new recovery. But now in the recovery I cant do anything it says something like E error cant mount \cache or sd card and things pertaining to that. The recovery is also mirrored. So after about a month of posting on xda in the questions and l9 questions areas I decided that I would just try and replace it. So I flashed ics u and x boot which when I enter s/w upgrade mode doesn't say bootloader unlocked then I removed the custom recovery which makes it just load up to the lg logo and freeze
What questions might they ask me if I want it fix is there anything not to say to them
If you want to try sending it on warranty you can start here: https://www.lg.com/us/support/repair-service/schedule-repair
I don't know if they will replace it or repair it. I also don't know if unlocking the bootloader voids your warranty.
I sent my rooted P769 in under warranty. They replaced the flash memory and sent it back with the latest FW about a week later. Works fine now.
It only cost me about $5 to mail the phone to Texas. YMMV

You better say nothing about your phone but just "IT FREEZE" and let them check themselves. Before that I suggest you flash the ics kdz first because ics don't have bootloader checking and your phone can pretend to be "Offical".

Messing with the bootloader voids the warranty. So you'd be better off just booting to LGs logo and NOT the Security Error Security Error will tell any tech right away that you've been doing things you're "not" supposed to do.
Yeah be tactical. If they anyhow come to know your boot loader's status then you're screwed. I mean the security error stuff.

I cannot answer that, sorry.
Good day everyone. I am hoping I can get some help here on a problem that has been bothering me for weeks. I have the KIW-L21 phone, and I recently did an OTA update on the phone, but it got stuck on Honor when booting and never went past it. No matter what I did, it won't move and factory reset failed. So, I went to Honor support website and downloaded the "Update.app" files for UK, France, and Europe General for it. So, far when I flash the UK and General Europe, it goes well, but then I get this screen (image attached) and it keep looping on optimizing Device from 0 to 100 and again. http://i66.tinypic.com/o586d1.jpg
http://i64.tinypic.com/34z0jdi.jpg
http://i66.tinypic.com/igewk2.jpg
The French Update.app won't even work. But I am stuck here. These are all official ROMs from Huawei's website. I wonder what am doing wrong.
Please any sort of help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Edl is somewhat easy. The phone should be off and you must plug. It in to computer while holding volume. Up and. Power The. Only way to know for. Sure. If. It worked. Is. You will hear the computer sing when phone is connected. Screen will. Remain black. AND YOU MUST CONFIRM. IN DEVICE MANAGER THAT YOUR DEVICE. IS. LISTED AS QUALCOM 9008 UNDER "PORTS". SO YOU MUST HAVE THE QUALCOMM. DRIVER INSTALLED FIRST. Hopefully it works. For. You. And. If it does. Try to DM. Me a twrp back up. Good. Luck

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
