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

    Already have a firmware downloaded but doesn't hurt to have one more. I'm stuck at the flashing part.

    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...

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

    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...

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

    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.

    Here's photos of what DiskUsage is reporting. I'm not sure what storage card is supposed to be (there's no SD card in the phone) and what I'm looking 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.

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

    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...
