Root stylo lost Bluetooth and and wifi

[herminiachristian]

After testing out lineage os 13 alpha version and being satisfied i restored data efs system and boot i made from katana rom and while it booted fine, turning on wifi or bluetooth cause it to fail. next i tried to do a kdz backup and while it worked, my bluetooth and wifi still refuse to work. i checked the mac addresses both times and it's not available on either is there something i need to wipe in system to fix?

 

[herminiachristian]

i like to add that wifi is working on lineage though.

thats the issue right there. you were on katana, which is a lollipop firmware. the op of my rom says to be on v20k before you flash. so kdz to v20k and things will probably work out.

ok my brother has an lg g stylo without any problems, so i'm wondering if i can pull the recovery and mbn files from his phone to use with the tool

metro like yours? id say absolutely if it is. hope things work out for you and keep us updated with your progress. you could probably talk to MrObvious as he is having the same issues with his stylo as you are and maybe brainstorm between the two of you

 

[herminiachristian]

this is what i could pull from the kdz 6.0

 

[viperdink]

Did you try lg bridge ?

 

[whoshotjr2006]

this is what i could pull from the kdz 6.0

what else do you need exactly? what does the g3 folders have that isnt in there?

 

[herminiachristian]

the MSM8974_G3 folder has a bunch of .mbn files sorted by region while the recovery folder has a bunch of folders named by the devices region with smart boot.bin files

^ the MSM8974 folder

^ random folder in recovery (I don't have my brother's stylo yet so i'm not sure how i would get these files)

To add, thoguh i know lg bridge would not work as the phone has no download mode so it can't even detect it. installing bridge and plugging in the phone instead of giving me Qualcomm HS-USB qwloader 9008, windows gives me the this usb device is not recognized and shows up under usbc and displays as unknown device
i would have no idea what to even look for in my brother's stylo as it could be as easy as using a root explorer and just copy a file or use an app specified for the job.

 

[MrObvious]

I'm stumped on this too. This has been keeping my phone useless.

 

[herminiachristian]

used win2diskmanget to write a H631EMMC20G.img to my sd-card, someone at xda did this and had the same problem but i noticed something

for whatever reason lg up detects the phone without problems but i can't do anything as there is no up-dll for H631 (t-mobile) only MS631 (metro) despite them being the same phone.

Edit: if someone could upload an emmc backup of the metro version, that would be swell.

These instructions May be handy.

TO DO A FULL WIPE AND INSTALL MM - Open the LGUP on your computer . FILE PATH point it towards the MM KDZ.

IMPORTANT*****
Shut down LGUP!!!

Now open LGUP again - you will notice that the MM KDZ will still be showing in the FILE PATH section. Select REFURBISH
and ⭐ make sure BIN file is ticked.
Press Start. Be patient .
Let it completely reload and set.

*******
Read this is Important.⭐

TO GO BACK TO LP FROM MM - Open LGUP on your computer, click on FILE PATH and point it towards your LP KDZ. ⭐ Close LGUP and re-open LGUP. Make sure you select REFURBISH this will do a full wipe, ⭐ tick BIN file.
Press Start.
Be patient . Let it reload completely .

If you are worried about losing your data after a full wipe, why not use the LG Bridge software to backup and restore.... it works fine!
YOU WILL LOSE ROOT!
There is no need to enter download mode! LGUP will do it for you.

i'll try this out once i get the metro emmc dump and install the metro dll

this is pretty strange...

 

[herminiachristian]

i wonder if it's possible to make a backup of the download mode itself and write to external sd.

Does your phone appear in the windows disk partition manager?

dont quote me on this because im talking out of my ass but doesnt download mode reside inside aboot? it has to be in one of the lowest level partitions like modem or aboot

 

[herminiachristian]

anyway to root a stylo running 6.0 without unlocking the bootloader, like a temporary kingroot? my brother doesn't want his data wiped

 

[whoshotjr2006]

holy hell what a night.

so i flashed my newest lineage 14.1 build and starting using adb to push files to it trying to fix things. i realized i didnt have deodexed framework jars so i rebooted into windows and kdz'd back to v20k. dunno what happened this time but it sent my phone into a bootloop. it would reach android and then just die and bootloop indefinitely while getting hotter and hotter.

i fought with the damn thing for 4 hours until i remembered lg flash tool 2014. i tried to flash one of the newer kdz's like v20k or v20g and the program just didnt care for those. i said hell with it and decided to brick my phone like your guys' phones are, 9008 mode and flash v10i kdz. lg flash tool 2014 liked that kdz for some reason and started flashing it. i saw that it started flashing it and immediately hit cancel, then pulled the battery on my phone and restarted it.

at this point it was stuck in download mode and something just seemed different. it wouldnt attempt to load recovery or system at all, just booted straight into download mode. i said hell what can flashing v20k hurt now with lgup and did.

moral of the story, i got my phone back!

maybe this method could be of some use to you guys if you can get into download mode at all?

ask me anything you need to and ill give you my best answer. im still puzzled as to what happened but happy i got my phone back.

edit: also when i say i hit cancel, on my phone screen in download mode there is a little box at the bottom of the screen that shows the status when you kdz. as soon as it showed movement i hit cancel and pulled my battery. it started out as one line of text in the top of the box and then started showing movement and file activity, thats the point to hit cancel.

edit2: also worth it to note that nobody should try to kdz back to stock while lineage 13 or 14 is flashed on your phone. make sure to take a backup of your stock rom, and use twrp to restore that stock image before you try to kdz back to stock. ill make a giant bold underlined note of it in both of my rom threads since i think thats what caused my issues tonight.

I have the .mbn file and partition.txt for the cricket stylo, now all I need is a rawprogram.xml and i might be able to use the board diag tool

 

[herminiachristian]

someone with windows 10 try that method and see if the GPTParserTool part works. I don't think it works on 7
