Hi, guys.
My SM-N910P (OB7) just downloaded update - 276.98 MB.
I still do not want to be update yet.
Tell me, please, the location of the update file.
I want to copy it to computer.
Dont take the update youll be sorry
I do not want to be updated.
I want to find where the update file is loaded into the phone - where it is.
Cant get it wothour root access
Thank, but I have root access. And I have Root Explorer too.
Should be in the cache folder
Cool upload the oe1 recovery to sav us all !!
In the folder "Cache" no update file..
Search for "Update.zip" is my other guess. I use ES file explorer and am not sure on the root explorer features but with ES I believe I have to have show hidden files enabled to see secret stuff. Maybe the same with the update?
Thanks to all.
I figured out where the lost file update.zip.
CF-AutoRoot cleared FOTA folder in the folder CACHE.

Any chance you could flash back to stock, download the the update again, pull it off your phone with adb and then reroot?
Many of us would be eternally grateful to get a copy.

Some people need a copy?
I put it here.
There's a strange format archive, I was able to unpack in part by the latest version of 7-zip.
I saw that patched nearly all system applications.
..
Someone can explain to me why all regret that update to OE1?
Custom firmware does not interest me.

Sitting here on fresh Stock OB7 with update downloaded... can't find it with ADB.
tried ADB pull /cache/fota/update.zip Does not exist
tried ADB pull /cache/update.zip Does not exist
tried all I could think of.... does not exist...
Yes, ADB DOES recognize my device...
I've been out of commission for a couple weeks, would have thought this was handled by now.
See anything wrong with my syntax?

in the same boat as you. was gonna do it last night but prior obligations foiled that plan. even though its been posted, i was trying to pull it myself before coming here to see that its been posted already... still curious of the remote location though since i went back to OB7 for the sole purpose of pulling it.

Something wrong/different with the above linked file... I guess. I can't open it to extract the stock OE1 recovery.
Downloaded it 4 times. Maybe I'm just a little "slow".
EDIT: Managed to pull it off my phone... for whatever it's worth.

I not used adb.
I reflash odin OB7, download OTA update again, phone off, flash odin TWPR, download in TWPR and copy update.zip from /cache/fota to externalSD.
Mirror - OE1 update.zip on Mega.
Thanks for the reply. The reason a lot of people dont want the OE1 update is because of the limitations it puts on your phone. Cant use Odin in certain areas and also cant go back, from what i understood, limiting ones customization and tinkering abilities.
ewww @ mega.... ill pass and stick with the original, but thanks
@jhill110 you aint slowwwwwww, this entire OE1 has been nothing but hell from the start.

This update is not available stock OE1 recovery.
OB7 recovery is patched to OE1 recovery.
I wrote that the archive has a strange format, and I was able to unpack his part with errors only with the latest version of 7-zip.
I attached update-script from this update.
Added SHA1.
Added screens about recovery.
Yup, those are the only 2 files in the recovery folder via the update.zip
Both files
Downloaded the update. Guess it's good to have. Might need it for fixing up the firmware I modded to get next update. Or not. Lol
Sent from my SM-N910P using XDA Free mobile app
I need latest firmware to flash on the cm builds. I wish to fix the mobile signal issues that come with cm. The firmware can be extracted from latest oos but i haven't done so before.
Ps firmware means the radio modem etc not the system.

Isn't that your EFS Backup? Not sure you should be sharing that as it contains your IMEI if I'm not mistaken?
Just flash the original OOS 3.2.4 or if it was already installed, you should be automatically on latest firmware. AFAIK CM zips do not include firmware files.

I went to the stock firmware thread, but it isn't explained how to flash them. The stock firmware files don't include a system.img file either. Only sparsechunk files.
There's your answer.

...so you're saying there's no way to flash the firmware files, and there is no system.img?
There is a way to flash the sparsechunk files, you just need to find it in this same forum.

After a year of hard work, @steadfasterX has finally unlocked our device! Hopefully we'll get some new roms soon. Full thread is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/unlock-unlock-lg-g4-device-usu-t3760451
Edit: We are currently able to run any custom rom for H811 on our device! One thing is that we must do the modem flash in TWRP that steadfaster mentions in his FAQ.
Edit 2: Currently only stock Lollipop or stock Marshmallow will run on VS986 with everything working. AOSCP and other custom roms will boot but you will not pull the correct APN for Verizon and therefore will have data but no cell service including MMS or voice calls. You must have the stock MM bootloader stack flashed after you go through the UsU process for everything to work correctly and the stock MM modem.
@fates13,
I know you're trying to get Nougat working on your VS986 and it's not 100% working yet.
I suggest people wait until you get things resolved if they rely on their VS986 as their daily phone.
Please post an update here once you think everything is working. The other thread has a lot of posts since it covers other G4 models too.
Thank you
@fates13,
Were you able to get your VS986 to the point of everything worked after UsU unlock and ROM installation?

Yes but only stock MM works properly with data and cell. This can probably be fixed by a proper rom developer for our phone. Advanced calling also doesn't work properly so just waiting until @steadfasterX has time to make a UsU patched kernel for stock MM.

Are you able to boot to twrp.
If your still stuck on boot.img go to your salt back ups is located in the home folder and right click in the folder and click open in terminal put your phone in fastboot mode type in terminal "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and after that "fastboot reboot" and see if your phone boots up if you don't have the salt backup let me know

How exactly did you install TWRP? Or if you solely used magisk, how did you flash the patched_boot.img?
I was asking you about TWRP to see if you installed it. You flash all the files in fastboot. You get into fastboot by unplugging the battery wait 4 seconds plug it back in hold volume down and plug your phone in to your computer you should be in fastboot mode. You can download TWRP from the unlock Page. I will upload the pach boot.img and paste the link for TWRP later because I'm not at my computer right now. Be careful NOT to flash the aboot.img you should only flash the boot.img (once I upload it) and the recovery.img right now

Ah, different person than you were talking to before. The way I read your post, it sounded like maybe you figured out a way to sideload (if that is the correct term) the patched boot image that magisk makes without the part of the UsU method that causes "Once you go this way - there is no way back! SERIOUSLY. The only way to make the device exactly like before is replacing the mainboard. If you're scared: good." Maybe something like this: ?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/how-to-determine-dd-parameters-lg-g4-t3184867
Was just looking into my options for if I should wait until a method comes out that doesn't make a permanent alteration or if I should just go ahead and take the plunge with UsU. Your thoughts on whether that change that is made could affect me badly in the long run?

sorry about that the only way to root the latest FW is to unlock the bootloader. as long as you flow the guide and read carefully you shud be fine and if it's too scary just downgraded to LP and root that way (look on xda Verizon G4 general tab)
Has any one got calling and texting working on any costum rom for vs986?
Probably a dumb question, but I'm on 13b rooted. I read through the unlock thread and it mentions MM is required and anti rollback <=2. My ARB value is currently 2. Can I just use LGUP to flash stock MM? Will this preserve my ARB value?
1. App unlock bootloader: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/...SIGNED_UnlockTool_9.1.0.10_190702_fulldpi.apk
2.Rom: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1HxSqpE83FW1U_k8WxCfaTkMUEAbS2QH-
In folder, file boot.img patched to root, no bootloop and wifi working.
3. Minimal ADB: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569952951
Step:
S1. Unlock bootloader by app unlock
S2.
a. Install Minimal ADB, copy 21 file .img to C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
b. Flash 21 file img in fastboot mode (power + volumeup) using usb type C side of ROG Phone):
Run cmd-here.exe, command:
fastboot flash ***.img (*** same with name 21 file img, do not rename file)
EX: fastboot flash system system.im
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
Boot in to recovery mode and wipe data/factory reset then reboot system!
Done.
Sorry for my poor English
Mod edit: Deleted!
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat - if this is real, awesome job.
Damnnn good..but i'm afraid to try it
Could u explan more
After this ww rom will be installed? What about upgrade?
I mean can i do future update once in convert to ww rom ?
A Video would be nice (not doubting that this simple guide doesn't work) but to proof that indeed this method works) someone please be kind to post a video.
also, does flashing this WW ROM deletes all personal data? or does it flash like an update retaining data?
wow!!
is it works??
and is it without root??
Will OTA updates work on this? Also, could you rewrite the guide some parts are a bit confusing
It works. No OTA from now on though, without a patched boot.img the phone will always go into a bootloop. Some people have reported dead camera after WWE conversion.
"Some people have reported dead camera after WWE conversion. "
Is there more infomation about this? forum link or screenshot?
Thanks.

Can someone state the major differences between the two roms?. I don't see the point of losing OTA and warranty unless you need the stock UI, other than that i don't see any advantages. By the way can someone confirm the call recording option is still there with the WW Rom.

Just to evaluate whether losing OTA is worth going to WW Rom.
Hello Guys, I messed up as I did not unlock bootloader first before flashing it from fastboot. Now I have a bootloop. Can anyone help me how to reflash CN. I have a lock bootloader. Thank you very much.
Unlocking BL also voids the Widevine L1 DRM btw, proceed at your own risk.
Can anyone help me how to unlock the bootloader via fastboot since I cannot get in the software as I have a bootloop. I greatly appreciate it as I have been figuring out this for the past 5 hours. Thank you.

You cannot unlock without the app. Hold the power and volume up key when the phone boots up until you enter the bootloader menu then using the volume keys navigate to recovery option from there just do a factory reset.
Hello Rashad83, I went to recovery and did a factory reset,but it still bootloop. I have a tencent ROG phone II model.

What did you do to get the bootloop in the first place, if you don't mind me asking?
I tried fastboot flash vendor vendor.img then it says parse error due to lock state, then after that I rebooted it then it just bootloop.
