Any ToT file for disabling big cores? - T-Mobile LG G4

Hello everyone.
Unfortunately my lg g4 bootlooped. And after extensive Google search, i see that most models have a tot file which disables big cores so u can run the phone on the small cores
Does the T-Mobile variant have such a tot file? if yes then can somebody give me the link? if no then can somebody create one using the following info?
Agimax said:
Why not just edit the files below for the two large cores (if you have root):
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu4/online (open file and change from a one to a zero)
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu5/online (open file and change from a one to a zero)
You could also just have the startup file do it (can modify the ripped system partition & put back on phone):
etc/dir/init.qcom.post_boot.sh (find your processor code - 8992 and add echo lines there with the rest of the cpu commands)

Well he also created modified boot images which disable the big cores. Can't someone create that for our device?
maybe @steadfasterX can

TWRP installed?
Then u could just modify the init file but I believe its too late. once bootlooping the run is over afaik.

yeah I'm bootlooped
Someone also fixed the Nexus 6 bootloop by creating modified images which disable the big cores.
Can't we(mostly you, you're the big dev) create a similar modified image that we can flash through LGUP?

Afaik you need a box to create tot files.
Besides this I have never created any big core disabling but I know @the_naxhoo has.
if you can reach the download mode you could flash with the lglaf shell a modified boot image which is doing the job. If you do not have Linux get your copy of FWUL which has everything on board (like the lglaf shell).
The modded boot image has to disable the cores either by the cmdline or the sys echo or both. I saw that cmdline thing during my unlock attempts and think those are much better then the echo to sys..
Creating a kdz would be maybe possible
creating a TWRP zip for sure but I'm very very busy at the moment...
So just one more time (as still not answered.. ) do you had TWRP installed before the bootloop occurs?
...and If so what happens when you try to get into it?

i had twrp but now when i try to access twrp i get to wipe everything screen which then hangs when I choose yes
yeah I can get FWUL but i need steps to know what to do....
I even asked @XCnathan32 who just fixed the Nexus 6p bootloop to have a look into our device maybe he can benefit from this information u just posted.

Cmdline is how I disabled the cores on the Nexus, the fix is easy to do on a boot.img, but LG uses the KDZ files, which use a totally different file structure, and I'm not sure if the LG flash tool has file checks, even on unlocked bootloaders. I will do some research and see what I can do. If anyone has any knowledge on modifying kdz files, please tell me.

asked steadfasterx about kdz and his reply is as follows
steadfasterX said:
me too. never created KDZs yet but there are tools for it - afaik.
My first approach would have been to flash the boot image in the download mode with the lglaf shell (https://github.com/steadfasterX/lglaf/tree/g4) .
requires to do a flash of a modified boot image with dd on /dev/block/mmcblk0 with the correct seek ..

To get files from official samsung repository you need to have a decryption key and that algorithm is not that hard to keep us out. :laugh:

It's not a web browser link, it's bit more complicated.
Every request needs a special generated samsung request token, and that's a little developer secret.
In reference to the decrypting I'm still stucking a little bit. I can extract it exactly bit to bit and modify the system.img files, thats not the point.
The point is to get the modified files back into a working .img file that can be integrated along with boot.img and all its components to a .tar.md5 file.
If you want, I upload you all of the extracted system files, maybe two brains are better than one.
But I am sure you are smart enough to get your system.img extracted by yourself, since you released your own custom ROM and a tutorial.

Thought you released your APA3 debloated ROM. Doesn't it work?
If so, we're in the same ****ing boat. :laugh:
I tried all possible ways, from Windows Tools over Linux ext4 tools but none of them get the right bit size for the image to flash properly.
For god's sake, bljad*.
Anyways, if you made a way to solve this problem, let me know.
Same goes for me, if I do, I'll drop you a message.

Uhm well there was a typo my images doesn't work with odin I don't know why. And It isn't really needed as long as we have twrp sure it be good if we can make a tar out of the modified images I know djemby created images for s4 which came pre rooted but again, that was due to cache modified files? Not sure if he ever touched system image

I have done it all, except #12. I could not flash auto root. Dont know why...

Due to FAP Lock.
This happens if your device is brand new or while the first ROM flash, due to the stock disabled setting of OEM Unlock.
Resolve:
#1 - Add your Google Account to your new flashed ROM
#2 - Settings - About Device - Tap 7 times on build number to enable developer options.
#3 - Settings - Developer Options - Enable OEM Unlock - Enable USB Debugging.
#4 - Power Off - Remove Battery - Press Power a few times (to eliminate the rest electricity like on a pc)
#5 - Insert Battery - Boot into Download Mode - Continue with Step #12 (Rooting)
If you still have any trouble, let me know.

It might be best to re-install your firmware. Also why did you linked system apps?
Your explanation is bit difficult to understand, could you maybe give a more detailed explanation or would you want step by step guide to help you with rooting and configurating apps2sd? You seem to be having lot of problems with getting apps2sd working as wanted.

To get past honor logo you need to re-install whole firmware, because most likely system partition has something that prevents boot or boot partition has problem.
I'm using marsmallow and Apps2SD works normally for me. I don't think it matters which version you are using, but getting back to kitkat might be difficult.

I've read from somewhere that it isn't as easy as it looks like(though I haven't tested it myself). I think it's because there are partitions which you can't flash in fastboot and the "updateflasher.zip" thread says that method only works on android LP and MM.
I can guide you with apps2sd, but if you root with magisk I can't help if problem is somehow related to it since I have never used it.

Well I prefer this method https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/mega-thread-root-unbricking-updating-t3400994 chapter 8 is rootin.
Actually needed steps are:
1. Flash 1.zip
2. Flash SuperSu.zip can be found from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/stable-2016-09-01supersu-v2-78-release-t3452703
3. Make sure it says "installing mode system-less" or something similiar.
4. Reboot your phone. It will boot loop once or twice and then works normally.
Then I can help you with apps2sd if you still want.

@Kireto00
redownload the zip file from the link i provided now and repeat the process ie.., unpacking and repacking the two zip files and give a try.
I strongly believe that either the zip downloaded is corrupt or while rezipping the file you might have faced the error.

[XT1789-05] Stock OREO Firmware (retbr)

Hey dudes,
since no one ever did this, I uploaded all Oreo Stock (retbr) for or beloved XT1789-05 released so far.
Here are the link:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/emeuwiyaxpqqu56/AABKMNnrmMOwR5S0pBH2d7lWa?dl=0
The folder also contains RSD-lite for Mac and Linux users.
Enjoy.
if you are a Linux or Mac user and don't know how to use RSD, *I'll show you how to do with simple steps.
here we go:
1- Unzip the RSD-lite folder on your desktop;
2- Unzip the firmware zip and copy all files to the RSD folder on your desktop;
3- Open your terminal and go to the RSD-lite folder and connect your cellphone on USB with USB DEBUBBING ON;
4- Type this commands and hit ENTER after every line:
adb reboot bootloader
if you are on Linux;
bash rsd-flash.sh flashfile.xml
if you are on Mac:
./rsd-flash.sh flashfile.xml
press enter to start the flash from terminal
5- Watch for any errors. If no errors at the end of the script then press enter to reboot the device.
Many thanks to @Liboicl for the Linix script and @rootjunky for Mac script.
I'll keep adding the firmware on this folder as soon they pop up .
Does it flash to both slots? If not, this won't prepare the -05 model for AOSP ROMs. The T-Mobile flash all and Sprint ones flash to both slots via .sh or .bat files

That happened because the bootloader noticed slot B doesn't have Oreo firmware on it. I'll make a .sh and .bat for you in a couple of days for AOSP from the files in that zip. It will be firmware only, no system or OEM images as it will be for AOSP prep more than back to stock.

Installing twrp shouldn't matter the model. Just boot to twrp and flash the zip, it will edit your current boot image and not mess with any special properties like radio stuff that differ from model to model.

Hi, I found it here https://plus.google.com/communities...1/stream/74c3716d-1a33-42b4-a515-63f32f4401e1, specificially in this post https://plus.google.com/111081030652026277798/posts/APCeCosyCX3 just by searching for exactly the filename you provided above with google.
Thanks for the link. I already know it but it doesn't work. I tried again and appear the message: access denied.
If you can download it and share it could be great.

For me, this is actually the worst Moto phone I've ever owned (and I've owned 4 of them), specially by the price I paid for it... the phone doesn't worth not even half the price.
In fact, this is my last Moto ever, I'm done with Moto/Lenovo or any other Chinese crap for that matter.

I don't mean to push you or anything, I'm just curious if you were able to make the .bat/.sh file for this version (retbr)?

My bat file in my thread will only work with official releases from the Motorola Firmware Team (MFT). I.E. with the official firmware and my .bat you will be able to take OTAs again. I cannot guarantee any other zips.

Rooting possible? yes/maybe/no

How is Huawei handling root? Is it suspected to work or will this be a problem?
I guess the rooting process may be a bit similar to the Mate 20s. It took a while before root became available for Mate and the process relies on a somewhat compilicated procedure involving FunkeyHuawei and buying credits. If you really want to have root then probably better to wait or to buy a phone which is easier to root.
Hi,
Somewhat agree. Root might take time.
What I can confirm is that oem unlock is not greyed out.

So do you think that someone will cook TWRP and magisk?
I already extracted the ram disk and tried patching it with Magisk.
It didn't boot.
Any other bright ideas?

Hope that someone will find a solution, maybe on chinese forums. I can't buy a non-rootable phone.

Is not ramdisk that you need to patch, try patch stock Recovery, at least works with EMUI 9.

Yeah, It was called Ramdisk_recovery
That's the one, isn't it?

Is "RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img", in the tool is missing the "K". You can rename it to "RECOVERY_RAMDISK.img"
If you need to flash in the fastboot use this command:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdisk.img
My p30 pro arrive today and i thought i can root it with this tutorial
https://myphoneupdate.com/root-huawei-p30-pro-unlock-bootloader-install-twrp-recovery/
And now i read here that its not possible? That is very Bad if this is so :/
Sorry for Bad English
Edit: oh... Yes now i See no Service sells this Codes at the Moment..

Yeah, I figured it. Output was patched_boot img. It flashed without any issues. But couldn't reboot afterwards. Went into bootloop, and then back to eRecovery. Normal boot is fine. Patched boot didn't work.

Unfortunately this means that Magisk is not ready to patch EMUI9.1
Has anyone tried the process ?
I might be doing it wrong, Please give it a try from your end as well!

Can you upload your stock img RECOVERY_RAMDISK?
I'll patch for you and then if the CRC/SHA is different you can try mine.

You can check the MD5, first is one that you patched and second is the one patched by me

Check mine and let me know if it works.

How to flash? Don't we need to unlock the bootloader first, if so I have to buy a unlock code right? I'm om 0.124

Yes, to flash you need bootloader unlocked.
Don't waste your money yet, let's first JazonX test the recovery_ramdisk.img patched by me.
JazonX, have you tried? I hope it works

Question In need of original build.prop file

Hello, so basically I edited the build.prop file but it saved incorrectly and I was left with a 0B build.prop file, phone rebooted, stuck at boot screen, the rest are tears from my mystake, can anyone give a copy of an orignal build.prop, thank you in advance
And if someone could help a bit with the rest (restore the said file as I can only access fastboot and recovery mode which only lets me wipe, safe boot or reboot, or if I should flash a stock image), it would be greatly apreciated,

the system and vendor partitions are read only, so any change to it will result in a file with 0b, the best and safer way to mod stock firmware is using magisk modules or this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...system-partitions-to-read-write-mode.4521131/

Ok thank you, when you talk about the magisk modules are you refering to another one in particular or the one in the link you provided which mentions it, thank you
