Good afternoon.
I come with the illusion that any developer can help users of LG P870, I wonder if someone could develop a way to install ClockworkMod recovery as custon able to use unofficial roms, and I am desperate for waiting to come out some method to free once and for all this great phone, the phone is becoming popular because it is inexpensive and is being distributed in the U.S. by AT&T and Telcel Mexico, please support us to all of us that we have this phone.
To add a little, this phone already has root method Bin4ry with a restore script via adb.

I would love for this phone to get unlocked with CWM. It's an amazing phone. We just need to pull everyone together that has one and get them on here until someone can help. I appreciate all of the devs on here and I hope we can get something going on this awesome phone.

Ditto.
Jelly Beans.... Optimus F5 has it. Escape is the same phone. Guess we wait. Hopefully, not as long like Optimus 3D/Thrill.

Disappointing
send an email to LG for a response on whether there would be an early upgrade of our model to Jelly Bean or at least unlocking the bootloader and this was his response:
Thank you for your interest about our mobile phone.
“We received your request on LG Open Source Code Distribution site(http://opensource.lge.com).
This site is just for providing source codes of FOSS(Free and Open Source Software) we have used in our product.”
We don’t have any detailed information about LGP870’s boot loader unlock.
If there is any news, LG will announce officially.
Please wait for more times.
We hope this information will help you.
Thank you.
Sincerely yours,
simply a misfortune I regret having bought this phone from LG

No support
I contacted LG open source and the person that emailed me back said that the escape doesn't support bootloader unlocking.

Has there been any development on P870 so far? At least is there a way to get unbloated version of stock firmware or change the language of the OS?
It would be cool if there is at least a list of stuff we can safely get rid of? Or can we try to get a different version to remove all the crapware AT&T pre-loaded?
Thanks in advance!

As far as I know, there has been no further development. I love this phone, but the lack of support is slowly making me go for either the optimus g or g2. Also as far as I know, there is no list. Its just trial and error I guess. I've personally tried to remove some stuff, but after a reboot it says security error. So certain things will cause a security error while others will be just fine. Btw, the only way (that I know of) to fix a security error is to use the lg support tool to recover your phone.

I see you are still using the device, any specific complaints about the software or the bloatware? Or are they just sitting there chilling until you actually run them? I know T-Mo had a bunch that were constantly running like T-Mo back up, My T-Mo, etc.. After the security error, was it a total restore/recovery or was it not destructive recovery? Sorry, I am not familiar with LG at all, coming from T-679 which was extremely flexible, this is a bit puzzling.
How about language, anyway to switch the language of the OS to something like German?

This is the same issue I am having is that it is coming up with that security error thing. I got into download mode and got the lg update program and every time it keeps stopping telling me to unplug and take out the battery and stuff. Just keeps doing it. Is there another way or is there something I am missing?
HELP PLEASE

Try putting your phone in download mode before using the lg support tool. That normally helps for me. Make sure you choose upgrade recovery in the options tab.

They don't run in the background unless you update them and set them up. I keep all the updates uninstalled and disable auto update so i don't have to worry about them. And yes it is a total recovery. Nothing is saved unless it is on your sim card or sd card. You can change the system language, but I don't see a german option. You might be able to download a language pack from the play store. I'll check into it and let you know.
P.S. sorry for the late reply..

Thanks! I am looking for German and Turkish.
Also I was browsing and saw this topic where they state we can update this to latest version:

Cwm recovery for the escape is finally here!!! The guy who made it also made a custom rom. I installed it and tested it. So far everything works (I don't use Bluetooth so I haven't tested that yet).
More info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1976116
Be sure to use Google chrome when viewing the web page he sends you to. Its all in Vietnamese and you will need to translate the whole page.

I went to try to install the recovery and rom. First question is, I skipped the driver install and rooting my phone because I am already rooted using motochopper. The f5_touch_ recovery.apk I was told to run does nothing? I tried extracting it and it swill doesn't run or bring anything up? Do I need a program to run this file or is it because I didn't use the method included to root? Then if that is the case and i'm successful at the recovery. What do I need to do to install the Rom?Please help ASAP! I have the recovery and ROM downloaded and saved waiting to install! Been waiting to do this forever so please help! THanks sooo much!

I already installed at&t version I just want to try O2 . Since the at&t version has the at&t menus and services. It didn't allow me to update because of the message above.

Hi Hibrid0,
I currently own Two Fire Phones, and would like to know if this "update file" that you have downloaded, will work or not with my "Unlocked" Fire Phones??
Please, Could you post the correct link, of the file that could work with my "Unlocked" Fire Phone?
I also have noticed on all your "Attached Thumbnails" pictures, that you are using the Spanish language!!!
So, I would like to know if at last Amazon have enable the use of more languages in this New 4.6.1 update (not just english and german)??
Thanks in advance for help!

Thanks hibrid0 and rbeavers!
Thanks hibrid0 and rbeavers for your quick reply and information!
So, although I have a "Unlocked" USA Fire Phone, it is totally safe to install the Telekom Germany... And I will not have any problems (or carrier stuff)??
http://fire-phone-updates.s3.amazona..._461013320.bin
I am asking because, other use have ugested me to install other version that apparently is an "ATT USAVersion"...
Or should I use the following version link:
http://fire-phone-updates.s3.amazonaws.com/update-fire-phone-34.4.6.1_user_461013320.bin
As you may have noticed, since I have a USA Version Unlocked Fire Phone, and all versions that has been posted here are UK/German, I am a little worried to brick or damaga my phone if I Installed an incorrect FireOS!!

Telekom working great, In Columbus, Ohio. On a ting.com Sim on T-Mobile network. No extra carrier stuff. Got all google services. Voice Wallet Widgets texts MMS texts. All I did was put update on phone an checked for update and it installed.

Hi , my fire phone is 32GB Unlocked USA version, and I use O2 ROM, this rom havent any O2 app or menu, But if you prefer At&t....

Hi Hibrid0 and rbeavers, for always helping me!
So, as you has sugested, I think that is better to use and install the O2/UK or the Telekom/Germany, because none of them have carrier APP or Menus...
However, I am now having problem to download any of these two files, because I always get an error: "File Not Found"... Does these files have been removed?
Could you Please post again the two files download links??
One last question...
I have also noticed that there are two almost similar files:
33.4.6.1_user_461013320.bin
34.4.6.1_user_461013320.bin
Anyone knows the differences between these two files?
Thanks again for all your help!

Files posted on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60168413&postcount=37 are working fine. I tested both to download

1000Thanks hibrid0!!!
Apparently something was wrong with the internet or the download site... Now works ok.
Thanks again for help!

Question Flash non-indian firmware on LE2121?

Hi everyone!
after a lot of searching (including in this forum) i haven't quite understood what is or isn't possible, and i haven't been able to get clear answers. so sorry if this was already discussed a couple of times.
i own the indian variant (LE2121), even though i live in Israel (aliexpress is the only decent way to get your hands on oneplus devices in my country),
for obvious reasons in an ideal world i would want to install a global firmware on my device, so i can uninstall bloatware and avoid Inidian restrictions that aren't necessary in my country.
is that a possibility?
from what research i managed to do: i understand that i need a suitable version of MSMDownloadTool (which i couldn't find) and a firmware (which i saw is listed in the sticky threads).
should i download everything as if i own the global variant of the device? should i download the LE2121 version of the MSMTool and the global rom? do i need to root/unlock the bootloader for my device?
i also have tried to just download the newest global version and install it via Settings -> local install, but it just tells me "verification failed" and nothing else.
last thing: if it helps, my device currently has this firmware version: LE2121_11_F.20
would really appreciate any help i can get,
cheers.

You can flash the global rom with unlocked bootloader and fastboot enchanched (fbe)
Or you Download load the global rom
And open it with 7z and edit a file in the zip with notepad++ and then flash it with a local update
Edit the payload_porperties.txt
The line oplus_update_eingine_verify_disable=0 to
oplus_update_eingine_verify_disable=1

Here you go, This should work. May have to play around with the check boxes and if a target button is available, select India......

got a question for you,
i tried using the tool you gave me (and other identical tools i found online before i posted this thread), and im stuck on this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
it shows both COM 8 & 9 because i tried two different usb slots with two different cables. i ended up using a type-c to type-c cable since it's the most reliable cable i have atm.
my phone is in EDL mode (as far as i can tell) and it shows up in device manager like so, after i installed Qualcomm drivers and restarted my PC:
i'm using Windows 11, i have tried using compatibility mode and\or "start as administrator", but it didn't help.
thanks a bunch!

my phone is in EDL mode (as far as i can tell) and it shows up in device manager like so, after i installed Qualcomm drivers and restarted my PC:

system-wide, yes. everything works as expected and i don't get any weird errors, plus having the benefit of formatting my phone makes it feel smooth and "new" again, which is nice.
one of the main reasons i did this (aside from what i mentioned originally) is because i sometimes get stutters desynced audio when playing video (no matter the source). i can resolve this by closing all apps and re-opening youtube/whatever i was watching.
i hoped it'd be fixed with the firmware change but it wasn't. maybe it's a hardware issue or something

Question Chinese OnePlus 11 converted to International, impossible to update!

Hi, how are you?
I greet you from Argentina.
I wanted to tell you that I bought an OP11, and I received the Chinese version .
The original version of the device is: PHB110
I flashed the ROM with Oxygen OS and now the model is: CPH2447 (India, but it works in Argentina).
The device itself works well, with some automatic brightness or screen unlock errors (nothing serious for now).
The problem I have is that I can't update the device:
My current OS version is CPH2447_11_A.08
And I have the version CPH2447_11_A.09 available.
## OTA update (device's own update):
It gives me an error:
failed to download, please try again
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Local update:
If I download the update with the Oxygen Updater app and try to do a local update, I get this error:
the dm-verity is disabled. please check fastboot boot status
I have the bootloader unlocked and the OEM option enabled (without the possibility of disabling).
So, how can I update?
I was thinking of relocking the bootloader, but I don't know if doing this will cause the device to turn on again, nor do I know if I will lose my files. I'm too lazy to set everything up again.
The command I would run is:
fastboot flashing relock
I clarify that the command fastboot flashing lock does nothing, it just returns the list of fastboot commands.
Would it solve my problems? I mean, lock the bootloader, allow disabling OEM, and allow updating?
PS: I also can't install apps like Netflix with the bootloader unlocked.

Same situation with me, I suggest you shouldn't lock bootloader and OOS is still bad for using now

Command is fastboot flashing lock. Also don't relock Bootloader if you are rooted. Or you did any modifications.
Also for Netflix and banking apps, if you are rooted using Magisk, use USNF 2.4.2 displex mod.

Thank you, the command "fastboot flashing lock" does nothing, it just returns the list of fastboot commands, but when trying "fastboot flashing relock", it does wait for the device, so I understand that this one works.
The device is not rooted, it just has the bootloader unlocked (understanding that this is not root) with Magisk, USNF 2.4.2 displex mod. Are these the same tool or two different tools?
With that, could I install updates? Do you recommend it?
Can you explain how?
Thank you.

The short answer is it doesn't work.
I have tried to flash (unlocked) the new rom from settings, after reboot, it went into bootloop. After rebooting like 20 times, it successfully booted into system, but said that the update had failed. I don't think that it even matters whether your op is locked or not.
Anyway you can flash it using Enhanced Fastboot and then flash the opvk... img ( I don't remember the name of the image).

I understand, what a problem, because if the only way is by doing a flash, I have to reconfigure all the apps after each flash, it's quite cumbersome.
I don't know what to do, I'm still in the situation where I can return the device.
I bought the 16GB and 512GB version, but it's only available in China. I don't know if I should exchange it for a Pixel 7 Pro, the 256GB version of the OP11, or wait for a software solution that fixes the issue with the OP11.

You can use enhanced Fastboot to flash the new rom, you don't need to wipe the data. Worked for me.

Well if people would stop buying the Chinese version phone if not living in china. These problems would not happen. This is the 3rd or 4th thread about this problem now.

This type of comment doesn't add anything! You don't know the context of each person.
For example, in my case, my seller assured me that their importer was sending them the global version, so both my seller and I were expecting the global version.

You understand that buying from a third party could put you in this mess. There is no way to guarantee that you well get what you want by doing this. By addressing the problem here prevent future problems like updating.

Yes, never use the fact that the global economy is global to your advantage. You are a little person and do not matter. Never by components made anywhere other than where you are, why not limit it to your city, block, house?
It is silly, kind of like saying why have a Pixel in China. Well, because it is available and I wanted to buy it. The fact that a company makes it harder does not mean I have a problem. They have a problem, serious problem in the case of Google simply blocking Chinese mbn files when they are actually on the devices.
My guess is Oppo/Oneplus will not openly address the issue. Fact of the matter is the Chinese version is on the global market and is their product. Their best option is to make OxygenOS compatible, but there might be some legal reasons not to do that. If you do buy the device make sure to know where the service centers are I guess. From what I have read the official centers help for free when issues come up.

Silly is when people still can’t admit publicly that they know for years phone manufacturers were making region specific or region published only devices and they can or are different and nobody is promising they will work on the other side of the globe. Yet people are still rushing to buy it and import it and after that they again cry on the internet something does not work as intended.
Why buy an untested phone in the blind? I have no clue.
Everybody can literally wait 1 month after release to read the feedback here and know what to expect at the beginning of OP11 release.
But hey, Oneplus only made 10 devices for the whole world and I need to be one of the people who needs to has it, preferably from China, with different stock system, oh and I don’t want to pay higher price, including higher taxes specific for my region.

The update logic is simple, download the full OOS OTA package according to your existing rom version, in your case is the indian one.
Flash the payload.bin to both slots and flash back the COS oplusstanvbk.img.
Tried many times from A.06 to A.08 to A.09, everytime works.

Do whatever you want with you phone, I don't care.
I am simply amazed that some people will still import it from China and create again new topic that the calling was blocked or the Chinese seller flashed whatever software and they can't update anymore when literally it is known information since weeks and some would still blindly jump in rather than avoid it.

I understand, he was able to do it. And has he had any problems with limitations? I mean those errors that show up because it's a Chinese version and there's an alert of limitations because it's outside the region.

Updating Android on a Blacklisted Phone

I have a note 10+ 5g that I bought from an individual seller 2 years ago. Recently I found out this phone is blacklisted in the US (I am in another country so the phone is working fine). The phone is stuck on android 10 and tells me the software is up to date.
A. Does this have to do with the phone being blacklisted?
B. Is there anything I can do to update to android 12? (I have no experience whatsoever but can follow instructions in case that works).
I tried contacting the carrier but they said I need an account in order to get help clearing the imei, I cannot contact the person I bought it from because he's obviously a fraud plus it's been a while, I tried searching for online services but cannot tell which ones are legit they all look fishy to me.
Should I just settle with this old version until I get a new device?
TIA

If the above suggestion does not work, we can follow this tutorial. I have followed it before and it worked. Perhaps the reason you cannot update normally is because of where you are and what firmware is on the phone.

I'm not exactly sure what the issue is, but I'm having other issues also with turning on VoLTE for example. Could it be a problem with how they unlocked the phone before selling it to me? Please excuse my ignorance and or stupid questions.

I'm guessing the reason you're phone is having problems is because it was bought in a different country then you, and the version of Android available varies depending on where you are. For example, wireless regulations and standards vary by location. Regardless of the issue, the tutorial I linked to should solve it. I can help guide you through it and answer questions if you'd like.

I appreciate it! Let me do my homework and study the tutorial first.

Blacklisted phone discussions, regardless of the circumstances are not permitted.
Feel free to continue discussing how to flash/update the phone but any discussion on circumventing a blacklist will result in a warning or ban pending the circumstances.

It looks like the CSC code "OYN" is not recognized. Looks like this has happened before: link. I suggest that we flash the EUX version, as it is the most common and is what most (perhaps all) new phones come with, so it should work in your country (I have it and I'm in the U.S.).

Alright, I believe I just figured everything out! Based off your model number: "SM-N976U", your device is a T-Mobile one. This means that your phone should have TMB (T-Mobile) firmware, as you can see here (notice that there are only three CSC codes available for your device). On Bifrost, TMB is showing as available for your device, so I am downloading the Android 12 (latest available) version for you right now. Let me know if you want me to keep downloading it.
