What exactly are trying to do with it? Flash to another carrier? If so try THIS thread. May be confusing since you say your a noob. Read directions very carefully.

It can be a somewhat confusing process, see if I can find an easier method, often harder than rooting or adding custom roms.

You may be better off to find a shop in your area that has experience doing this kind of thing. To me, its not something that can be explained in depth over the internet. I was gonna say, if you've never rooted or flashed a custom recovery/ROM, then this is definitely something you shouldn't attempt. You could seriously ruin your phone.

Your radio, also known as modem or baseband, is what allows your phone to connect to the network for calls and data and such. Think of a computer modem.

I said I was gonna try to locate an easier method for the unlocking process, there is no easier way. I can't explain all this here. Mods don't want this kind of stuff to be repeated over and over in multiple threads. You have to be rooted 1st, then flash custom recovery(TWRP or CWM), then find lg2 modem files HERE and flash it. Then proceed with next steps. Like I said, if have no experience with rooting/recoveries(this is the easy part), then you may not be able to do this. Good Luck.

will my changes stay after i unroot and re-encrypt

I rooted so i could change my phone so could wifi tether without paying cricket the $10 a month. but i lost my ability to use android. can i unroot and encrypt my phone again and keep my changes and use android pay?

which is why i want to unroot and encrypt my phone, but what i can't find anywhere is if my tethering will be locked again

Just unistall supersu in the app. See if it will work.

tried that, the unlocked bootloader is whats causing my issues

What did you change to get thethering to work? You can lock your bootloader but it's generally not a good idea of you have issues in the future.

why hasn't a moderator moved this thread yet to Q&A yet? lol

Well I'm trying to fix and issue I'm having with the camera flash, ever since the update it will only flash once and then will not work again with any app no matter what until I do a restart. It worked before the update and nothing happened to the phone so I wanted to see if going back might fix it before I have to get a refurbished one from Verizon.

Well first you need to unlock your bootloader: http://theroot.ninja/depixel8.html
After that, download the P factory image from Google's site and follow instructions to install. Just remember to backup stuff you want (photos, files, anything saved on storage) because unlocking will perform a factory reset.

Already unlocked and downloaded the images and tried to install as the directions but during the process it says boot.img and recovery.img is missing even though I did exactly what it said.

Not really sure what I'm doing wrong at this point and I'm stuck

Did you copy the files into the fastboot and adb program file?
They need to be in there for it to work.

Your using an outdated ADB and Fastboot (like 99% of the people on this forum).

Thank you, worked after that and I am back to P but unfortunately my flash is still not working correctly. Sucks in passed the 14 day return so I'll get a refurbished when the phone is practically brand new.

There might not be any refurbished phones to send you so you might luck out. Better to try now than later when they have a big stock of returned phones. Or I'm crazy and you'll get one either way...

Yea I'm really hoping not to get a refurbished. I'm gonna do my best to see that I get a new one but if not I guess oh well. I have a 32g really blue model so not sure if they even have any new ones.

Doubt you'd get a refurbished unit at this point, you'd still get one from replacement stock set aside for early issues.

You will need to unlock your bootloader. Why do you need to downgrade though? You can root and install TWRP on nde63x.

I received a usb-ser brick on my Huawei nova 2s phone after updating to test android 9, the phone didn’t turn on at all!
I took a kind person to help, it turned out to lift the body, but later, as it turned out, the phone does not see the network in auto mode, and only 4g in manual mode, but cannot register the network. Wiped nv!
Required dams Modemnvn_bakup, Modemnvm_factory, Modemnvm_system, etc.в img from another work phone
I want to ask you for help, I need these files
If you can help, I beg you!
Dams can be made by the program Partitions Backup & Restore
It is necessary to have a root.

If you were not on full stock rom without root, or anything custom, and you turned off OEM unlocking and USB debugging, then locked the bootloader, you are basically hosed my friend

Look at this point it just needs to be said... PEOPLE STOP RE-LOCKING THE DARN BOOTLOADER!!
PERIOD!!
There are literally a half dozen posts this week with probably bricked phones and a good amount of them are this same root cause.

Your preaching to the choir ol friend! While I agree with you 100%, some things are best learned the hard, and expensive way! I've done it twice myself.
The carpenters rule should apply to these phones as well...."measure twice, cut once" :good:

I remember and I'm sure that i left USB debugging enabled, and the bootloader locked, so is there any hope ?

My friend.....you could give me or anybody else 10 thousand bucks, and it's still not going to solve your problem I'm sorry to say. You should have unrooted the phone first, then fastbooted the factory image, or do a factory reset, and made sure that OEM unlocking & USB debugging were left on until you were done locking the bootloader. Sorry man, but there's not much you can do without at least a stock recovery, so....accept the loss, learn from your mistake, and move on. Many of us here, including myself, have been there as well. What you choose to learn from it is up to you
