    Help Rooted and flashed LG G8 how do I backup the current firmware, flash a stock one and relock the bootloader

    None of the downloads work on that website. I cant figure out how to flash it. I cant get the phone in download mode as most guides instruct me to do. All I can get to is recovery mode and even then LGUP doesn't recognize the phone, it detects that a phone is connected but it can't recognize it...

    Help Rooted and flashed LG G8 how do I backup the current firmware, flash a stock one and relock the bootloader

    Its LM-G820UM in the settings and on the box. In gsm arena they have all versions listed, with the closest matching being LM-G820UM0 and it being Sprint. But I have just seen an AT&T G8 with LM-G820UM written the label on the back, so it could be any other USA carrier. That has me thinking if...

    Help Rooted and flashed LG G8 how do I backup the current firmware, flash a stock one and relock the bootloader

    No, I live in Europe. I wanted to find out because I was told the firmware has to be original to relock the bootloader and since I'm not sure if I can use for example Korean stock firmware for a G8 to lock it again I wanted to find out what carrier the phone is from and try to track down that...

    Help Rooted and flashed LG G8 how do I backup the current firmware, flash a stock one and relock the bootloader

    I will download one from this website: LG G820UM(LMG820UM) aka LG G8 ThinQ - LG-Firmwares.com (looks to be the most legit one), but I'm not sure which one. I can't uninstall the magisk manager app it only has disable option and the app itself is complaining it is being ran as a system app...

    OK so this app called magisk manager wanted to update and I decided to download and install the update, it then wanted to restart but before the restart it said something about how it shouldn't be running as an app, that its not supported and should be running as a user app, the phone restarted...

    Help Rooted and flashed LG G8 how do I backup the current firmware, flash a stock one and relock the bootloader

    To lock the bootloader I first have to flash the original firmware the phone had, correct? I asked on XDA for information on firmware and locked/unlocked bootloader and this is what I was told. Since I plan on using the phone as my daily driver I don't think it's a good idea for it to stay...

    Help Rooted and flashed LG G8 how do I backup the current firmware, flash a stock one and relock the bootloader

    The phone was behaving strange (battery dropped by like 6-8%, and I couldn't swipe down for the drop down menu and only the back button worked), now it seems fine but I'm worried something might be up, as someone before me has rooted it and I don't know what they might have done to it. I can't...

    I want to flash stock LG firmware on LG G8 (LM-G820UM). I would first like to backup what is currently on the phone, just in case I want to play around with it in the future. I also want to lock the bootloader again. Could someone please point me in the right direction? How do I backup the...

    Help [Solved] HTC One M8 stuck on HTC/HTC One logo.

    At least 20 apps were updated but for now it is staying at around 8GB. Before that I had less apps installed when "System" reached 10GB. So I guess as long as it doesn't get over 8GB like before I won't mind. I will look into rooting the phone since it seems like it could be really useful for...

    Help [Solved] HTC One M8 stuck on HTC/HTC One logo.

    The system dropped to 7.98GB after clearing a lot of preinstalled app caches and after cache wipe in the recovery it dropped to 7.95GB. I remember back when I had my M8s it was not taking that much space but since the phones aren't identical maybe the M8 is just like this. I was staring to...

    Help [Solved] HTC One M8 stuck on HTC/HTC One logo.

    In the beginning the "System" is 6GB but it increases to 10GB over time (right now its 8GB in the screenshot). I think it's a partition but I could be wrong. In my HTC U11 the "System" is taking 4,2GB and that's why I'm confused.

    Hi again, the HTC seemed to be doing fine but now that I have more time to play around with it there is an issue. The storage of the phone starts with the "system" partition taking around 6GB or so. But after some time it keeps getting bigger and bigger, sometimes reaching 10GB with very basic...

    How is your M7 doing with LineageOS? Is the phone performing good and does everything work normally? I will most likely get an M7 in the future, as I plan on making a collection of cool phones I can find, especially HTC phones (I'm a big fan of the brand). If I put the rom.zip in the top...

    Help [Solved] HTC One M8 stuck on HTC/HTC One logo.

    One more thing I would love to know is how do I flash the firmware update from SD card in the bootloader? I was reading and I got really confused. I managed to get the rom.zip file from the RUU program, and what are you supposed to do with it? People say I need to put it on the root in the SD...

    It's working guys. So in the end it appears that the phone would boot if I simply keep trying and waiting for a few minutes. I turn it on wait a few minutes and if it doesn't show anything except the HTC logo I restart it with volume up + power buttons and try again and again until it boots...

    I'm downloading it and trying it in a few minutes. Going to post results as soon as it's done. One question I have is why is the IMEI being unavailable a bad thing?

    Help [Solved] HTC One M8 stuck on HTC/HTC One logo.

    I agree, its pretty old and a lot of stuff is not supported on it. But I used to own it back in 2015 (only mine was One M8s) and I really loved it but I broke mine and tossed it in the trash (big regret as I think it could have been fixed). I want to use it again it was a cool phone and I had...

    OK guys the phone managed to start. I somehow replicated the factory reset thing, this time I tried the kid mode option which you get when holding down the power button and when I exited out of it the activation procedure or whatever it is called appeared. But once again pop-up after pop-up...

    Help [Solved] HTC One M8 stuck on HTC/HTC One logo.

    I have no idea if the phone is locked to a service provider. In my country (if the phone was even sold in my country) some service providers lock their phones while others don't. So there is a good chance it's unlocked if it was sold by a carrier from my country. If you need a picture of...
