Really? Your filehosting process involves your clients having to run a not-further-justified.exe... to access your http download?
I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation
but until then

Well my antivirus detected their .exe as trojan, when I asked them about it, they said it is because software use encryption.

The TIM (Europe IT/Italy) firmware K350n10e_00_0217.kdz for k350n is a little faulty. Once its flashed and phone is set up (google account and lg stuff) the home screen is not working (flashing or just blank) but if you have a backup (in lg backup) of your former homescreen and you can get into settings then you can restore your earlier homescreen and everything will be just fine.
Keep in mind that it's the febr.01. security patch so it can't be rooted. However the bloatware and the useless apps can be removed (with a lot of patience - it takes like an hour or so).

As its in the title... stock. MM6.0. Basically there is no difference in these roms but the boot animation in some cases and some custom apps. Maybe the newer builds contain some fixes in the firmware but im not sure. However i tend to use the newest one always.

And how to flash this kdz's? LG Flash tool won't flash it.

and which rooting method is working for this firmware for such noob as I (not very hard to install, if there is so one)
(or may be there is method to restore to firmware without february patch and root without reinstalling firmware?
I have k350n as yours, so if can please help, maybe there is backup that can be restored throught twrp?
on 4pda there are such and such, but for k350e, my k350n don't see the recovery)

For "such noob" as you are i suggest to read the threads so you may have some knowledge of what you are about to do just as most of us does. Thats why there are the threads separeted for each step very well described so we dont need to tell everyone what to do... if you have some questions after reading the related threads you can ask me in pm and ill gladly answer.

found this site was easy to use and no ads or what not. imma new guy here so no link but its opensource.lge com. ill most likely be sticking around and learning this crap since the first android I by in years is the us375 and is a pain to try to root...

i've been looking for it over nights.
My Motorola Flipout (international and unlocked) need a recover. Can I use this image?
The last time I attempt to change the system, the device didn't wipe correctly: I flashed a non-blur rom, but a lot of blur files remained. This one is a blur rom, right?
Thanks!
Its never "deblured" your build.prop or default.prop has a few lines saying Motoblur=false so you don't have to sign up with motorola. Thats basically what they mran by deblur

Stock firmware: IMEI vs country

Hi all, I'm new here (but not on xda) be gentle!
I'm searching for good update, so I decide to go for 4.4.4 from 4.4.2. , because 5.0 has a lot of problems, at least what I see no progress (correct me if I'm wrong) but never mind that...
I have question regarding update Europe, International G3 D855 16gb/2gb RAM model.
So I search and find couple od firmware, but I'm confused what to look.
on this site http://devtester.ro/restricted/imei.php I found couple different firmware for my phone, I gues this is 5.x firmwares but I am confused. Can someone explain me:
-MODEL D855 (ok, I understand this)
-VERSION D85520H_00 (I guess this is a version of the android ) I know from the website that the latest version... is it? (lg-firmware.jpg)
-BUYER 6KS ?
-BUYER NAME TELEKOM_16G (I get that this is the provider, but the difference between this and without labels)
-COUNTRY CS/Serbia (I guess it's the localization, language and so on)
-REGION Europe (self-explanatory)
-LIVE DATE 2015-02-09 (day release)
and this:
SUFFIX A6PSTN vs A6KSTN (this is the biggest mystery that I can not figure out)
please help!
not sure what all of those are.
i do know that for a firmware name, if it has a '10' in it ie. v10h, it is KK, if it has '20' in it ie v20i it is LP.
do make sure though, when you download firmware that it is for your model, in this case a 16gb/2gb ram.
if you want to go to 4.4.4, you'll need to find a custom ROM that was released with it, as LG never released a 4.4.4 update.
i think your worries about LP aren't unwarrented, but it is great. it runs flawlessly for me. no outstanding issues, better battery.
you also need to decide if you would like rooting and twrp capabilities. to install a rom that has 4.4.4, you will need root & twrp.
if that scares you - you can get to LP via LG official stock without either of those. will be 5.0 though.
rooting and twrp is easier than ever - one click root and twrp install via apk.
sus it out and decide what you want to do.
i'd suggest you'd create a nandroid (need twrp) and move it to your ext. sd card, that way if you flash anything you don't like, you can easily revert back to what you had.
tnx for advice!
I did beckup, but I'll wait a little more I see that some things are losing transition to lollipop. I had contact with a buddy phone that has lollipop, He didn't left too strong an impression on me.
I am not afraid, for a long time do these things with the famous Motorola Defy+ , I have experience and guts :laugh:
I'm waiting to see if someone will know to answer my question

What is the exact StockRom for my K10 M250DS?

I, a year ago, replaced the original rom of my M250Ds 7.0 k10 by the Oreo 8.1.
Now I wanted to return to the official rom of my phone, but unfortunately I do not remember what it was.
could someone tell me what rom would be the original of my cell phone? to as many options as the "M250DS10a" "M250DS10d" "M250DS10h" "M250DS10g".
I'm Brazilian, obviously my cell phone and that region. Grateful for those who want to help me, I have a mania for perfection, so I need the exact rom that came in it : D
a,d,h whatever are just telling their order.. i.e. what's the latest, obviously.
I would try the latest and go backwards if problems...
https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-m250ds-firmwares/#tab=firmwares
Or try if you can find out the correct one by using the IMEI

Downgrading from Android 10 to 9 locked bl

I am stuck at the latest version of android 10 (.618) on my xperia xz2 compact H8314 and I have a big problem using whatsapp and other messaging apps like messenger and telegram, basically the voice notes sounds very low, I can record audio using sony audio recorder and works fine but the other apps dont, I have been looking for this thread all over the xz2 forum but could not find it so thats why I decided to create it, I have also looked in other webpages but it seems that are very few mentions of it, I found this one and tried to follow it, but I failed in my attempt.
https:// xperiafirmware. com/downgrade/
Any help/advise is welcome and even questions of what I have already tried.
I thought about any other alternatives like fixing the problem in Android 10 but I couldnt either.
Edit: I get the next error message when I am flashing the .ftf file that I downloaded there:
"Those data are not in the FSC scrip and will be skipped:
BOOT,DSP,FSG,MODEMST1,MODEMST2,RDIMAGE.
Do you want to continue?"
then I try to turn on my phone and get the message "your phone is corrupt and it wont start" or something like that.
I have owned several xperia phones in the past, the last one was xperia X compact and I remember (I could be wrong) that I was able to make a downgrade without unlocking my bootloader.
I succesfully downgraded from 10 to 9 using sonys flashtool with bootloader unlocked. But I'm not sure if it's possible to do it without unlocking at the moment. Why not just unlock the bootloader?

Would be helpful if:
Where to get the Sony flashtool. (link?)
You could provide a link to how to unlock the bootloader. and
You could describe the "Downside" to unlocking the bootloader. What "no longer works"? Such as, will it no longer apply factory updates? Will Digital Rights Management (DRM) no longer work?
Seriously, my XZ2 Compact H8214 keeps reminding me (several times a day) that a firmware update is available, and I am sort of "scared to death" to do it. All I read are negative comments about what Android 10 has done to ruin people's phone. Without a way to "go back", I am seriously thinking of just ignoring these messages for weeks and weeks.

Well first of all, unlocking bootloader voids warranty, then a number of several sony technologies will for sure stop working, Basically all proprietary technologies like audio, video and most importan thing, CAMERA enhancements, how I do know this? well because I have been reading a lot lately and also since some years ago, and by experience because back in the day I had an xperia x compact and I didnt remember to backup DRM keys before unlocking bootloader.
Anyway I have found a way to downgrade from android 10 to 9 without unlocking the bootloader, I am not sure about if I should make a new post with specific instructions( a guide) or just write them in this post.
Oh, yes. Please share. The more details the better. (Assuming that people "know basic things" is often incorrect. The things I don't know is FAR too big to list.)

I have downgraded from 10 to 9 using official flashtool from sony (with bootloader unlocked) and my camera, audio, video etc. still works just fine. Maybe I just got lucky, but I think that by doing it through the tool provided by sony itself it shouldn't break anything. Which in my case, it didn't. Btw, thanks for the guide ?

Or maybe you don't know what you do, and happy for the nothing.
If you unlock the bootloader, you loose the TA partition (DRM keys). Your camera quality is worst, and some features lost (ps4 etc).

I just picked up an H8314 for use on Verizon in the US and it has Android 10 already.
@Tom 23 can you explain more about what you did? Details? Are you using an H8314? On Verizon? I've read in the XZ2 forums supposedly now unlocking on Android 10 still breaks some stuff but now not the camera?
@williamgrant can you provide/link a list of exactly what breaks when you unlock the bootloader? Perhaps what breaks depends on what version of Android you're on when you unlock?
I'm trying to determine/weigh the pros and cons of unlocking to root are, if its worth it, what am I giving up...

Do you notice specific problems with the H8314 on Verizon? I have been delaying the Android 10 firmware update because I cannot seem to find many reports of "how it works on Verizon".
I've only been using it for a little over 36 hours, but so far nothing glaringly wrong. Keep in mind thought that 36 hours ago I was using a 2013 Motorola Moto X running Android 5.1... now I'm on Android 10... So there's probably stuff that is a bug that I don't recognize is a bug!
My wife's had her H8314 on Verizon for about 6 months and it's on Android 10 as well. If she's not complained to me about anything then that's good! Then again, she's likely not at the same "level" as XDA forum members are!
I too am interested in how to roll back to Android 9 if it can be accomplished reasonably easily without giving up a bunch of stuff.
I've been plagued with issues on Android 10. Even with the most recent update things have not improved. The two things most annoying to me are the drastically reduced battery life (more than halved!! it doesn't even last a full day anymore!!) and the fact that MMS do not download correctly all the time anymore. I've also noticed that camera quality has gone down somehow, even though Android 10 was supposed to improve it...
Hello folks

Samsung s20 Ultra Exynos ( Stuck on February 1st 2020 Update )

Hello everyone, this is my very first post here
I hope I posted this in the correct section of the forums. If not please point me out where I should place it! And sorry for the intrusion!
So basically my S20 Ultra ( Exynos variant SM-G988B/DS ) is stuck on February 1st, 2020 Update. My current version is G988BXXU1ATB3 /G988BOXM1ATB5 /G988BXXU1ATB2
I am pretty sure there have been tons of updates mainly to address the early camera issues, but I can't seem to make it visible to my current device so I can upgrade.
Is there a workaround in order to 'force' an update or I am missing something there?
Excuse my noobness
And nice to meet you all!

There are few threads crated on a daily that ask for the same. Just learn to flash it on your own via odin. No problem if you are noob... the problem if you don't use the search function and learn and move on from your noobness.
Download the firmware via SamFirm and flash it with odin. Stop waiting to receive OTA. Stay up to date, if you see there is a new update repeat those steps and you will always have the newest firmware.

Thank you very much for directing me to the right path, I was not sure of what search criteria I should type to find my solution Sorry.
These solutions will void my warranty or anything? Also as I am noob, is there danger to destroy my phone?

This solution will not void your warranty. After you downloaded the firmware via SamFirm you will have in the extracted folder two kinds of a file that's called CSC. One of them is called HOME_CSC you need to flash/choose the HOME one in order to keep all your data.

I doesn't matter anymore, G988BOXM1ATB5 they put everything in one pot, OXM is generic. And you can't change that that easily or for free anymore.

Fantastic, thank you. So that means I can download whatever GSC I want and it should work perfectly with my phone?
trying to find out which is the best for my Exynos s20 Ultra but being a noob is very hard
SamFirm does it for you. Just enter G988B in the device slot and OXM for the CSC slot. It's going to show you the right/newest one.
Just an update, I successfully updated to the latest firmware using ODIN, I was nervous at first but the process is really straightforward. Still having focus problems with my s20 ultra tho, but that is a story for another
Thanks, everyone for guiding me to the right path!
