Factory reset for Pie? - LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm

I'm wondering if it's a good idea to do a factory reset/clean install of the official firmware when Pie is released.
I would think it would help prevent issues as it's a full version difference.

For Oreo from Nougat (May 2018), I did Upgrade via LGUP.
But it never hurts to do a clean install.
I'll probably have to edit the WTF INSTRUCTIONS after that to include Pie KDZ...
Sent via open market LG US998 V30/V30+

Ok. I know rumors put the pie release outside the US this or next month, I'm trying to decide on what way to go.
This way I have time to prep.

Yeah. Factory resseting is generally a good for major android updates.
PS: Next time please post in appropriate thread. This is the development thread and a question shouldn't be posted here.

Sorry I must have been in development instead of Q&A. If a mod wants to move it, that would be appreciated.

No problem
I think pie is very far for us right now. Maybe just upgrade to pie when it comes and reset if you've any issues.

Well, AT&T just got Pie on the V35, so I can't imagination we are too far behind.
Funny thing is, I already have a couple issues. Nothing serious, but they are annoying.
1. Do not disturb does not abide by it's set schedule. It will turn off, but not turn on without me either restarting my phone, or manually turning it on.
2. (May not be a bug, but I haven't found anything about it so eh...) Every so often, pressing the volume buttons causes it to jump by 5 points instead of one. This is from both on the phone, and using the headphones that came with it that have volume buttons.
There are times I press volume up and it starts blaring, so I quickly turn it back down and use the screen to change the volume until I reboot my phone to correct it. I have verified that I am not double pressing or holding the volume button.
They both started when I upgraded to US998 20H. To be clear, I used the following KDZ images to upgrade in order : A, E, F, G, and finally H.
Instead of wiping my phone now, I figured that I would just wait until Pie is out for little bit and then so a clean install. Hopefully it will fix those issues, and prevent any others from arising for that update.

Latest T-Mobile Update Slowed Down My Phone

Hi guys,
So i just downloaded and installed the latest T-mobile update and now my phone is slower.
Every time I hit the home button, the image blinks and redraws and there's just a hint of stutter.
The app drawer also takes a little longer now.
What the heck?
It used to be so zippy and fast. How do I fix it, anyone know?

Try disabling hw overlays in developers options to help with that redraw stutter. Remember you have to set it everytime you boot, unless you're booted with xposed installed, then you could download the module that keeps it active at all times.
This seems to have helped a lot of people with your issue.
Thank you.
It's sadly still doing it.

Did you take the ota or download one of the twrp upgrades floating around? Either way in your situation you probably need to do a factory reset. Alternatively follow the twrp method HERE if you haven't already and I can personally guarantee a better than ota install. If you want it to be done correctly to fix any problems you need to wipe the system and data partitions before flashing. Also don't forget to download super su if you want to keep root (linked in guide). There is another upgrade twrp file in the development section I think that is not a perfect 1:1 image and could give problems. Not saying that particular rom is bad or that it is the problem, its just not a 1:1 like the guide I linked you to it is directory/installer script dependent. The one I made transfers the whole untouched partition over and inside has all the symlinks and permissions preset by LG.

Working great for me as DD. Battery life is better than 6.x, but I'd expect that it'd be a little better anyway after a full wipe & fresh install.

I was on the PK1 yesterday, then I ODIN'd to PL1 (using Norbarb's instuctions and wiped my device in the process).
I then realized that since the device was already wiped, I simply ADB directly to QC5 (as it was already 1.5GB in size and should already contain the previous updates).
Battery life is now horrible, although I'm still trying to get used to the new features by turning off / disabling what I don't need. The update is worth it. as the theme makes me "feel" as though I got a new device. The touchwiz additions replace quite a number of third party apps that I'd have downloaded separately otherwise.

As you probably did, I'm using a non-rooted AT&T Galaxy Note 5 (N920A}. I'm familiar enough with ODIN to know that I'll probably mess it up the first try... And spend a lot of time figuring out my mistakes.
Did you have any difficulty with the update process?

The only problem I encountered was the need to perform the large address aware fix to adb so it would sideload the S4CQB2-to-U4EQC5.zip file for me, otherwise it went fine. Just takes time. I went step by step after first backing all my stuff up. I was on an older MM release that had not been patched with any of the last 3 or 4 security patches, so I began with a complete wipe and ODIN of CPK1. Then sideloaded the rest, one at a time and switching USB debug on each time before the next update: CPK1-to-PL1, then PL1-to-CQA1, then CQA1-to-CQB2, then the final S4CQB2-to-U4EQC5. About 90 minutes maybe, a little less? I can't recall, but wasn't a big deal. It took Google longer to load my 180 apps back on at the end LOL. All the tips (like the large address fix) are in the other thread - just read it over before starting. I see we have a new update too to version QC6.... I may flash that or wait another week or two to see if more updates come out. Honestly it is running just great and I have no issues. Snappy. HTH
I will post in Nougat update thread new update to 4CQB2 to 4EQC6 firmware. Please let me know there if you want 4CQA1 to 4EQC6 update also.

ADB sideload always wipes after it completes
There is an app named Flashify which does not wipe after applying updates but that only works on rooted phones (and you cant root the AT&T Note 5)
Therefore no, there is (currently) no way to prevent sideload wipe
Thank you very much Dezborders!
Now it will be my first time to use Odin, pleaz can you give me the link of the more stable marshmallow for you on N920A... ?

Random shut down/black screen after around 5 seconds on Oreo firmware

Hi,
I recently got a hold of a HTC 10 which came preinstalled with Android marshmallow. Since I had bought this two years after intital release I realised that the Oreo update was available. So in the midst of my excitement I updated to Android nougat but then to Oreo straight after. That was when the problems occured. So on battery, I lock my phone and around 5 seconds after, the phone wont turn on. Not from the power button alone. I found the only way to turn it on was by pressing and holding both volume down and the power button to go to the Download mode and then reboot from there. But if I leave my phone screen off for around 5 secs again then it happens again. None of this would occur on charge. I have tried flashing other Oreo ROMs like leedroid 10, purefusion 8.0 and lineage 15.1 but this occurs across all of them.
I then decided to downgrade and flashed a few nougat ROMs like lineage 14.1 and purefusion 7.1. This fixes my random shut down issue but then a new one popped up. I realised that I couldn't use my home button or fingerprint scanner at all. I have tried checking Generic.kl under 'keylayouts' but according to it. The home button was not disabled.
So basically on Oreo, I get random shut downs and on nougat my home button and fingerprint don't work.
I would appreciate if I could get any sort of help on this, thanks.
Thanks, Justin

Your fingerprint scanner doesn't work because of a firmware mismatch. Nougat roms need nougat firmware. As for the battery problems this has been reported ALOT lately

From previous posts that I have seen it sounds like a battery problem. The first thing I would do is flash an RUU. If the problem is still there it's most probably hardware.

I get a lot of random crashes and power offs since I've upgraded to Oreo. It's really been driving me nuts.

Camera Failed

Not much to say.
When I open camera app I get a pop up saying camera failed.
I have force stopped app clear data and cache and restarted. Didn't work. I have factory reset. I got the phone back in June under Verizon.
Any tips on getting this fixed would be great.
Thanks

I have done that as well through bootloader. Forgot to mention. It may be a software issue. I flash a older firmware and the camera worked. I let it update and it worked but after a few hours it stopped working. I've yet to let it stay on the software version that works for more then few minutes.

Updates are overated... if I have a stable load that's running well I leave it alone.
I've run outdated OS's on Android for years with no major issues or forced reloads because of it.
Old firmware/software doesn't break Androids but new ones sure as hell can...
Still running on Pie on my 10+ with no plans to go to Q.

Yeah they like to lock the doors behind you... just remember the lesson.
I learned the hard way with Kitkat; the last update did nothing except make easy root impossible.
With lollipop AT&T/Samsung purposely screwed up the graphics on just that old model for contacts and the music play list making the S4+ next to unusable.
They'll say it will run better, be more secure.
BS.
Never had a OS "upgrade" that wasn't bigger, hoggier and slower then the original on Android.
Never in 6 years of running outdated OS's on Androids had to do a reload from a virus or worm.
Sure it can happen but rarely does if you don't do stupid things.
Play with it, eventually you'll sort it out

Motorola G5G Plus Android 11 Problem

Hello
Before few days ago, i received official ota update to android 11 of my motorola g5g plus.
I was very happy, that finally the android 11 is here and immediately updated my device(big big mistake)
After the update process, my phone start to be more and more laggy.I use it only at 90hz refresh rate and sometimes when i use it is goes on frames, which is madness..
I am really unhappy about that..I don't want to factory reset my phone.
Any possible way to resolve this lag issue or return easy to android 10 and never update again?
I do not play games or other heavy stuffs..
just ebay calls browsing nothing so heavy...
ideas guys?
You could use the Moto Flash Tool to flash the latest version of 10 - note that you'll (very probably) have to do a data wipe when asked to avoid problems afterwards.
To be sure, I'd check with @vache as to whether a downgrade is possible, but I don't see why not.

Check in settings for blur, and turn it off and see if that helps. Sorry, I don't use stock so I'm not sure exactly where it is. Developer settings maybe, or display

Thank you.
This method work at the moment.In the developer settings it is located..Hope with some next build to be fixed the things and the blur work.
Sad news again.Phone become laggy again even on only 90hz refresh rate with turned off blur.Yesterday the phone work fine, today i woke up and surprise lagging on normal stuffs like scroling across the screen or open menu app and etc.I am almost sure that it run on less than 60hz.Absolutely dissapointing....
Thank you motorola.Last phone from this brand...
