Any news on this, here in Oz we've been abandoned by LG to having only Android 9...
Everytime we ask about it LG says it's up to Google to release the update... What a crock since the rest of the world has it, we are the ONLY country yet to get Android 10...
This might give a little love to our forgotten, EXPENSIVE FLAGSHIP...
Last time I'm buying LG I'll tell you that...

He's already shown that it's possible, give them time to develop the steps/guide to do it. Don't ask for ETAs, basic XDA rule.

Hi guys! Please be patient as there were some bricked devices.
All korean V50 can have this and also some G8.
If you dont have patience, join telegram group V50 and ask for help from Vlad48 aka VL48. White user also has the knowledge and also contributed a lot to this, but he doesnt speak english that good and you may get confused in doing things that will brick your phone.
I'm waiting to make an ALL IN ONE guide with everything in that ADB folder so that we will donwload just one file.
Almost all bricked devices so far were because of WRONG file placement inside adb folder if you believe it ...

That's no worries, not wanting an ETA.
Sorry, went off on a tangent there earlier due to overwork and night shift.
As I said, here in Oz we've been stranded with Android 9, security update is for Oct 19, with no Android 10 release in sight and only excuses and buck passing from LG.
Do we know if this will allow Android 9 to be rooted and, finally, be updated to the latest OS?
Cheers guys...

Yeah, there may be an issue there... You can only use temp root on Android 10. Specifically what phone model (carrier/region that the phone is from) do you have? I don't mean your current carrier necessarily, just the branding of your model.

It's the LM-V500EM, like Europe, however, it is distributed exclusively through Australia by Telstra.
This means we can't upgrade using another country's firmware but also, as we aren't part of Europe and UK, we can't unlock the bootloader. :crying:
Again, every time LG is asked about newer firmware the finger is pointed at Google.
When Telstra is asked, mostly just the sound of silence but if you do hear whispers it's no firmware has as yet been supplied and to check with the manufacturer of the device.
Google also has the advice Telstra give about the updated firmware which puts LG in the drivers seat and they're still sitting at the bar at the start of happy hour as far as Australia is concerned, and every hour is happy hour..
Hence we need to be able to unlock the bootloader and root to update our expensive and, supposedly flagship device.
You understand the frustration and impatience...

should we be looking for a brand in particular of the phone beside the korean one? Plannign to upgrade my v30

Hi, i recommend v50 koreans due to battery life and 5g.
G8 Sprint is now bl unlockable at lower price and nice compact form factor

Just got my v50 u+ recently
Cant wait for the script

Can't wait for these guides, thank you to all involved!
If I may make a request, perhaps a guide on how to hide root, using Magisk, so that banking apps can still be used?
Thanks again

That's a pretty generic guide; just use magisk hide and the props config module, but lots of modules may break safety net

I see thanks. If a module breaks safety net, does uninstalling that module mean the device passes safety net again? Or is the device just permanently marked as unsafe?

You might have to wipe data for all the Google apps (or possibly even factory reset), but it shouldn't be permanent

Not to sound like a jerk, but I do think it's a valid question... what is the point of creating a thread promising a comprehensive 'All in one guide' to be 'released shortly', and also posting in the other root thread that a guide will be available, and then nearly a month later, there is still no guide? Again, I don't want to sound like a jerk because you're trying to help, but so far, you have just made empty promises and gotten peoples hopes up but not actually provided anything
(again, not trying to sound harsh, just posting as someone who has been keeping an eye on this for a month and now feeling frustrated)

Sorry, dont have time for this, anyone can make a new thread or admin delete this...
Until then, all is available on telegram.

Check NT-Code: FFFFFF : 54 - but phone works OK......

Hi All,
I have a LG G710EMW, and I want to get android 10 on it. I live in UK so I flashed EU open rom onto this phone. Now everything appears to work fine, dual sim is working OK, I can call etc, but I get this error every time on startup.
I have read other threads - but they say they get no network, however my phone seems fine. Can I leave this rom or should I wait until brazil/hong hong/aus get android 10 and then flash? Also any idea when that will happen or it's already happened? Can you share the KDZ?

I tried the volte solution in guides section and also voenabler magisk module. They did not work for me. I have EMW.
I have shifted to lineages, so am not looking at the development in those threads anymore. Voenabler in lineage os only changed my LTE to LTE+.
Voenabler did work for someone in that thread maybe you can go to that thread and discuss or try on your phone.

I use the one by Josh.
For me it is stable. I don't use bluetooth, wireless charging, etc. so cannot comment on that.
I find this to be the best ROM out there for now. It has good battery and performance.
Basically you should be ready to experiment and see if you like it. If you want a fully stable phone, and no TIME to experiment, then I would advice you to stick to stock.

I had already read this guide, but I gave up as the code did not open any menus. Doing some research I found that the code varies by model (ends with 710#). However, unfortunately it does not work. I cannot modify the NT Code and with the 20b base firmware it returns NTCODE WRITE ERROR after edit it.

OP8 Verizon Custom ROM Support

Hey all! I saw it mentioned in a few threads and figured this would be the right place. For all those Verizon users, post your experience with A11 ROMs here. Which ones have you tried? Which work, and which don't? Hopefully we can find a common thread and get more support for Verizon!

I'm also on Verizon with the op8 pro. Not a great experience compared to my wife's galaxy s20 plus. Thanks for trying to pull some of us together. Seems like the EU version gets most of the active support at the moment. Maybe we can get the IN2025 handset done love.

Have been using verizon for about 5 months beside atnt with no issues no 5g in my area yet but haven't had any issues with either

Tried Lineage, Crdroid. Neither sees SIM card and settings for that greyed out. I assume is the same for PE and AICP. Only one that works is Paranoid Android but it really doesn't have any features to make it more attractive than stock OOS. Seems Verizon users are SOL when it comes to custom Roms. At least for now.

How are you getting past the error on Pa that rebooting to recovery to factory reset over and over again?. I've heard Pa has data but when I flash it continually loops back into recovery trying to factory reset. And I'm performing factory reset with op8 stock recovery prior to flashing. But still saw message if you have sim insert now at set-up. So I figured it didn't have data as well. The problem is we have single sim ssss. And none of these custom builds have our specific vendor blobs. So until someone steps up and builds for us specifically . Nothing is going to get data. I'm working with maintainer of Pixel experience and Cr-droid. But seems to be a tough process for them. Here's to developing some patience and being on stock. I've tried flashing global as well and no data. However I could on A10. If anyone on the Verizon op8 variant updated ota to A11 and has flashed something they get data/internet signal on,I'd love to know.

Well I haven't done anything with PA since beta 2. If I recall it was a Pita to install at the time but I was able to twice with Verizon working. Don't know about now. When I did flash it I asked the Dev what he did to make Verizon work on that ROM but all he said was "nothing special".

I honestly can't remember. I think I sideloaded it because I couldn't make fastboot update work. But again I really can't remember. I haven't tried any past beta 2 because of the trouble to flash it (myself and others) and I honestly didn't see how it was any better than stock. Just me though. Does it have a lot more features now?

Guess my next question is how did you possibly get A11 on both slots? I ran logcat through download trying to snag url or dl link for rom and nothing. Been reading through Pa thread. That's how you got it working. I still have A10 on slot_a.

Just installed PA beta 6. Got oos11 on both slots with oxygen updater. Tried fastboot update but that produced error messages. Unzipped PA files and manually flashed them. Booted up fine. Got Verizon calls and text working (had to change APN fron VZWINTERNET to one of the others--can't remember which. I could NOT get fingerprint to work but face recognition worked. Again the was such a plain vanilla ROM and I really couldn't see any advantage to using it so went back to stock.

Haven't got Verizon myself as I'm in the UK. But the issues I've seen from that network are crazy.
Are you all planning to stay with Verizon? Personally I'd leave them, it's a terrible thing to have to deal with on any phone let alone one that costs so much...
I wouldn't commit to another contract with them for any reason until that limitation is gone.

Question Is there any way to unlock/enable dual sim for LE2125 like flashing EU ROM/Firmware or third party ROM like Lineage ?

Is there any way to unlock/enable dual sim for LE2125 like flashing EU ROM/Firmware or third party ROM like Lineage ?

Not that I know of

Flash the le2125 Oxygen OS android 12 beta. Its working for me on a T-Mobile Version.

I'm still trying to figure it out on OOS 11 because I need it for travel next month, but good to know OOS 12 open beta is an option.
On OOS 11, I know you have to edit props to change persist.radio.multisim.config from "ssss" (which means single) to "dsds" (which means dual). From a root shell:
Code:
setprop persist.radio.multisim.config dsds
That causes the second SIM option to show up in settings, but it's grayed out and says No SIM even though I have both installed. After a reboot, the phone shows no SIM in either slot, and I have to revert the props change and reboot again to restore service. Not sure yet else what I'm missing.

there not a second tf reader

What? From everything I've read, the hardware has the same connections inside for the second SIM. The NA model comes with a modified SIM tray that only holds one, but the dual SIM tray is available on eBay and elsewhere.

They said the same about 7pro
But ones flashed
Dual sim worked
You had to that's the device sim unlock for it to work tho

Question TO BE CLOSED AS IS DEFUNCT

I have just unlocked bootloader on the latest Fold 3 F926b Beta and the camera is fully functional!!! - Seems sammy have finally done away with this silly thing lol!!
Please see vid below - i will upload another showing proof of boot splash red text then camera working

here is a video showing the angry warning text and the device booting and me using the camera

So there we have it! hopefully development will take off a bit now and also apologies!!!
Had i bothered to tinker in the last couple of weeks we may have known this earlier!!!!

Finally........

After testing i now know which file can fix the camera on B1 - its to risky to flash it on android 11 as i almost lost download mode SO I AM NOT GOING TO BRING ATTENTION TO THIS FILE JUST YET - THERE WILL BE ONE LOON WHO FLASHES IT ON A11 WHILST ROOTED AND LOOSES DOWNLOAD FOREVER
The camera issue was actually "fixed" in beta 2 ZUKA!!!
- i have tested this on B1 where camera broke on BL unlock and also on android 11 fixing the camera issue but causing download mode issuses.
What this means is that we have something to possibly bite back with should sammy lock down the cameras again
Big thanks to @dr.ketan for the help in finding this

Does f926n have to wait until Android 12 is updated to brush the machine normally, and the camera will not be locked

Flash beta2 or 3 for the N model and you should hopefully find you can unlock bootloader and camera will work.
We do not have root on beta yet though so it maybe a week or two till we can be rooted and use camera

You may find once the stable release hits out Folds this will once again be locked down and the cameras won't work once the bootloader is unlocked.

Thanks in advance

I wonder if that's the link for Beta 2 for 926B
Edit 2:
Aaaand I wonder if this is the link for Beta 3?

we cannot root beta yet (or i have been unable too and no one else has even bothered trying lol)
I think we will stand a better chance when we have full firmware and source code but early indications from the "stable" korean version is that Samsung are still killing cameras on bootloader unlock

I tried unlocking BL of F926N (not B) after installation of OTA update a12 (BUL4) released on 12/15, but camera was still dead as mentioned above. And rooting via magisk didn't work well either. So I reflashed firmware of a11 (AUJ7) using Odin and rooted without TWRP.

EDIT: Samsung have really redeemed themselves! my moaning below is now moot
This all confirms that this has been a deliberate move by Samsung to impede the modding community
yes they have done this before with knox etc etc but killing a fundamental piece of the device's hardware just because they don't like rooting is wrong and also probably ILLEGAL if they are not advising in the Download mode screen that this is what will happen.
There has been no statement as to why, they are behaving like the insulting kid in class who hides behind the teacher when the class revolts at their actions lol.
I invite Someone from Samsung to explain whats going on and why they are doing this of course, but silence will prevail with all things Fold 3 (much like it did with the first "fix" that was trumpeted on twitter months ago)
I am hopeful that the workaround i have found with @dr.ketan will see us good for a bit when the release firmware for android 12 eventually lands in Summer of 2022 (yes im being a grumpy sarcastic child today lol) but that will no doubt be patched by these Sammy psychopaths against modding eventually.
