Currently I have 2 issues. Number 1 is that I cannot find stock firmware for my phone on Frija. No matter what CSC code I enter it is unable to find it. However, this is not a major problem at the moment as I plan to use this random firmware if things go wrong as it resembles my firmware.
~Main Issue~
My main issue is that even though I have enabled OEM unlock and USB debugging in developer settings I am unable to unlock my bootloader.
I am currently using this method:
Code:
1-Turn off the device.
2-press Volume Down + Volume UP + Connect the USB cable.
3-You will see a warning and under it three options (Volume up: Continue / Volume up long press: Device unlock mode / Volume down: Cancel restart phone.
4-Will choose Volume up long press: Device unlock mode.
5-Unlock bootloader page will appear, Under it are two options (Volume up: Yes / Volume down: No).
6-Press the volume up key.
The device will reboot and a message will appear telling you that the boot loader has been unlocked, Then press the power switch to continue.
7-Then press the power switch to continue.
8-The bootloader is unlocked, Done.
At step 5 the screen either only displays on the lower eighth of the device and shuts down or it shows the "bootloader page" but will not accept a volume up input press and powers down. Any advice on how to resolve this issue?
Update: I attemped to do a factory reset on the phone but the phone won't even boot into recovery mode! Holding PWR+VOLUP on boot does nothing!

what goes wrong?

https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a10/how-to/discussion-galaxy-a10s-successfully-t4051189
finally got mine unlocked
first i did a factory reset from the settings not the recovery
i went through the setup without signing in,
activated developer settings , usb debugging . Make sure oem boot loader is selected
.. turned off the phone and pressed up and down as i plugged the usb into the phone
Then long pressed up until the menu changed press up again and it unlocked.
it will factory set again . go through the setup without signing in
activated developer settings , usb debugging .
now sure oem boot loader should be grayed out.
now if your intalling magisk follow the instructions
I was able to flash magisk and it went great for about 10 minutes. my bootloader relocked
if it happens to you just odin the full stock firmware and do the process again

[Q] P769 Stock Recovery Mode

Wondering if there is a stock recovery mode for the P769. I know there's a recovery partition but I'm not sure if you can get an HBoot menu. I held down Power and Volume Down from a powered off state, but it simply displayed the LG logo, vibrated, and then powered off. I've also read that there is a button combination to do a Hard Reset. Anyways, I'm wondering if doing this
Code:
adb reboot recovery
would get an HBoot menu, simply turn off, or do a hard reset. Also, if that command gets to HBoot then what button combination can you do to get to it?
Do u mean CWM recovery? Its here

I think he means the stock recovery that comes with the phone, as for the button combination, I dunno. holding the down button while powering on the phone always sent me into safe mode.
I can get into recovery mode by holding Vol Up + Home + Power
The screen say that this mode is use in LG service center to backup data. When phone connect to computer it show 2 removable drive but cannot access it. No use for me.
If you want to reboot your phone just hold power button for 10 seconds it'll shutdown. Then you can power on again.
Edit: Shutdown by holding power button 10 seconds not 10 minutes.

I wonder what we can do at this special menu.....
saturnianalien: The L9 devices do not have the standard recovery menu like the HTC devices do(This is the recovery menu that looks like CWM).

So what does the recovery partition in the L9 do? If I rebooted into recovery with adb, where would that get me?

I don't know what we can do in this stock recovery mode. I can pull files from some directory via adb pull, but cannot use adb shell.
After this I just reboot my phone with adb reboot
LG stock recovery is limit. Samsung stock recovery allow me to flash some zip.
This is the same thing I get....

Start Error in Pixel Experince, by Boot.img flashed by Fastboot (phone almost brick).

Hello friends, I hope you are well. I am writing to everyone to see if anyone can help me with this big problem.
Yesterday install the Rom Pixel Experience, all good, all the steps to perfection and others, had microSD at that time so flash the boot.img by Fastboot. It seems to install the Boot.img in the Recovery TWRP partition, or something like that. Because I do not have the Recovery either, when I try to go to the recovery, the window "Bootloader Unlocked" appears, but it does not take me anywhere, only to the boot of the rom, it is something very strange and the truth scares me. I clarify: I can not access the Fastboot, nor the download mode, nor the recovery, because it does not.
There will be another way: ????
PLEASE IF SOMEONE CAN HELP ME, FIND ANOTHER METHOD TO ENTER THE FASTBOOT OR DOWNLOAD MODE, THE SOLUTION THAT WORKS WILL PAY ME WELL TO THE PROPONGA, PLEASE, I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE MY MOBILE, I BUY IT WITH A LOT OF EFFORT.
Last night I dawned on the boot logo, until it was completely downloaded and at this moment it continues to do so ... By GOD!
When trying to enter the Fastboot or download mode, it takes me here:

Then he starts loading the rom and stays there all the time .:

I can not access Fastboot, nor download mode, nor recovery, because it has disappeared. There will be another way to enter the Fastboot or download mode, because the phone actually woke up until I wake up today and was even charged. PLEASE.
Hey, sorry for your sad state. Following process worked for me when I got stuck yesterday like that.
1. Connect your phone to PC ( make sure adb/fast boot is setup)
2. Hard reboot your phone with power plus volume down button.
3. As soon as your phone turns off, press volume down only and keep it pressed till you enter fastboot.
4. After this phone should be recognised in PC and you should be able to boot in TWRP using fastboot.

Hope this works for you @Yeriorlando. @gimpy1 had a similar issue when installing Havoc ROM. Part of the problem seems to be when installing the custom kernel?
gimpy1 said:
It was operator error (generally is) on my part, I'm sure. The only thing I did different that I can remember is installing the 9.0 boot image in twrp differently. I installed it in the recovery option first (intentionally, should not have), instead of ticking only the boot choice. I did not untick the recovery option (should have never ticked it in the first place, but I was trying to correct a problem on the ROM, and misread a post).

He was able to reinstall TWRP using fastboot.
gimpy1 said:
Thx, Chaz. I pulled out my printed instructions from your post, and once I was able to get my device recognized (that did take a couple of tries), reinstalling twrp was pretty easy.
I'm back in business thanks to you.:good:

IF you still can't after the suggestion at top, maybe @SGCMarkus or @runningnak3d have some tips?
Unless you have an H932, then if you get the error that: "Your device software can't be checked for corruption" then you have fastboot. It is literally impossible to have that message on a WTF rooted phone and NOT have working fastboot.
So, as @ZestyManu said -- make *sure* your phone is powered off. If you have to let, the battery die. Then hold vol down + plug in the USB cable (no need to touch the power button) and you will enter fastboot.

Thank you all. I have solved the problem in a super crazy way, to pure ADB, not fastboot .... Pure ****ing adb ... Hehehehe. Thanks to @ChazzMatt

Download Mode (EDL) for Android Device

Hi All,
I wanted to know if there was a way to enter the Download Mode (EDL) of mobile phone under three conditions that the bootloader is locked, and developers setting is also not enabled and the device is stuck in bootloop?
I've tried couple of tricks but were not successful. The person whose information gets me a positive result will be entitled to a free cup of coffee. Thanks

you don't mention what device it is
for a Lenovo tablet you get to EDL with volume up + Volume down + power
for a xaiomi device their these > https://www.smartphones.how/repair/edl-mode
Press the Shift key and Right click and then select Open command window here to display the command prompt screen.
Type adb reboot edl and press Enter. Automatically the phone screen will dim as dead, it's a sign of your phone has gone into EDL Mode.
Or
2. Take Across From Fastboot
Keep using the Minimum ADB and Fastboot tool but compared the first way we have to go into Fasboot Mode first and then to EDL Mode.
Turn off your phone.
Go to Fastboot by pressing Power and Volume Down buttons simultaneously until Xiaomi 'rabbit' image appears.
Connect the phone to the computer.
Open the Minimal ABD and Fastboot command prompt, the same way as for point 7 on the first method.
Type fasboot oem edl and automatically your phone will go to EDL Mode. If the command does not work, try fastboot reboot-edl or fastboot reboot edl.
3. Combination Buttons
Turn off your phone.
Now plug one end of the USB Cable into the PC port and the other end does not connect to the phone.
Press the Volume Up and Power buttons and immediately connect the other end of USB Cable to the phone.
Automatically the phone will go to EDL Mode with LED lights will light up blinking.

Very likely you can't.
From your description, when you flashed it, A13 was updated only on one slot with the new bootloader, while the second slot is still stuck with the previous bootloader. During the flashing (how did you flash?), something went wrong, so the Pixel wanted to boot from the second slot with the "old" bootloader and the "Anti-Roll-Back" kicked in.
RMA and hopefully get an exchange
Cheers
Follow this steps and let us know if it worked for you
1. Unplug the cable from your phone
2. Press and hold for at least 15 seconds the power button then release
3. Connect a cable from your pc to your phone but you need to press volume up and hold it until you connect the cable, once connected release the button your phone shall turn on fastboot mode, it it worked just proceeded and flash a13 again, just download it from it's official source
14. Profit

LG v60 Rooting issue. Stuck on QFIL -> Partition Manager -> Unresponsive.

As the title indicates I am currently in the process of rooting my LG V60 Verizon Variant. However, I am running into a issue when using QFIL.
I am following the V60 Bootloader Unlock and Magisk Root by crimsonrommer: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/v60-bootloader-unlock-and-magisk-root.4358785/
Here is steps 1-5 from the guide:
If you already have it unhidden go to Developer Options under Settings -> System and enable OEM Unlock as well as USB Debugging. If you don't see Developer Options go to Settings => System => About Phone => Software Information and tap Build Number until it either asks you for your password or says you are a developer at the bottom. Verizon Users: You will not see the oem unlock option, we will fix this later in this guide.
Get it into 9008 Mode: (This may take several tries)
Make sure you are connected to your computer via USB.
Hold Volume Down and Power until it shuts off
Now here's the tricky part, as soon as the screen turns off, immediately start tapping volume up quickly, but do not let go of volume down and power, if you did it successfully you will see your screen is off but it appears either in Device Manager or Windows plays the Device Connected sound.
Open and Configure QFIL as shown below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
4. After that click Browse and select the Firehose you downloaded earlier
5. Next go to the Tools menu at the top then select Partition Manager (If this errors please reboot back into edl using the steps mentioned above!)
All of the previous steps have been followed to my knowledge. Below is a video link showing what happens when I try to access the partition manager:

Brother,I have seen 3 different ones.I haven't scaled through the different ones I have,but some will work fine with certain variants and some won't.The one I posted works with just about all variants with no issues.I do have another one,and it fails the handshake everytime with my U.S. variants.
