Tuesday
306sh activated with MVNO, SA300 firmware, rooted, with TWRP recovery,
working fine for past 2 months.
For unknown reasons, it decided last friday (at home, none to low signal) to do a system update
(from SA300 to S7232). Phone - on the desk- just "dinged" and msg came up "updating
system software". I attempted to cancel, but it didn't respond. Less than a minute later, "Update Successful" msg. Didn't reboot, anything, settings showed S7232 firmware. (SA300 before,
i had done my weekly backup earlier that morning).
Since then, phone constantly reboots at the "Aquos" screen; after an average 8 hours of rebooting, it will boot to setup, the talking setup screen. Works perfect for about an hour then rebooting starts again. Let battery die last nite, tried again this am - same thing rebooting.
TWRP backups don't fix problem- weekly backup, i have 6 i've tried, factory reset doesn't fix, if i try to Software Update, it checks, tells me, "up to date".
I turn on wi-fi to use the phone from home, , guessing it did a ? hit & miss ? ota update since the
wi-fi was off when it attempted the update. Home is a very minimal signal area.
Any way to force it to take the S7232 update again?
(I could update over wi-fi if i had wanted, only i didn't want the update anyhow).
thanks, rik
I can give you a link for a backup with latest firmware, you will have to wipe data tho

This is a full backup from newest firmware but you need to wipe data before boot

Just home, thanks
Hi,
Thanks for the help, just home from work (rough), so i will plug the
Aquos in tonite and hopefully be able to try the file tomorrow,
(that 8 hour boot thing), just downloaded your file, i'm ready.
This is my take-to-work personal phone, sprint zone, and i missed it today.
Your help is really appreciated.
rik
Final note
thought i'd just post to let you know the phone obviously had big problems
-- it failed to start today -- just buzz on buzz off -- even after 4 hours charging,
all i could get was the battery dead screen, wouldn't come on at all.
Guess the real problem was with hardware, i laid it away in the junk phone box
in the attic, end of Aquos Crystal.

Question: My 306SH would not update (still at S8216). Could use your back up to update my firmaware?
After 306SH ph was acting weird, did a hard reset & saw system Software updtd to S7232, & unk file in Misc (.eCtcQjbu1dgnvtFnvnr6yepTp1M=) I then installed Malwarebytes & scan detects this S7232 software update as malicious malware Android/PUP.RiskyTool.Agent.ay (dm.redbend) "/system/priv-app/fotaClient.apk". When going to System to do an manual update, Malwarebytes popups w/same msg every scan "Software App", even aft reboot 2days ago 7/12/2017. And phone wont let me create new google acct. An error that "google account mgr not working" popup & I see that same unk file reappears. Ph not rooted -XDA says "there's no root for 306SH that works">see XDA blog 'Root for Aquos Crystal 306SH ONLY'.
Go to the Sharp USA website for the 306SH firmware, and see what firmware you are on.
Download the firmware from the versions higher than yours, and if there is a repeat, notably "kernel.img", download the most latest version of it.
Then, plug your device into your computer, make sure you have the proper drivers installed for the Sharp Aquos Crystal installed on your computer. Boot your device into bootloader. Go to a terminal, cd to the directory where you downloaded your .img's from the website, and do
fastboot flash kernel kernel.img
Ex.
fastboot flash foo foo.img
And you can flash all the latest updates. When done, exit the terminal, make sure the device is unmounted, unplug from computer, and reboot your Crystal.
Hooray, it should be updated!

Turkbot, I hate to beg on my first XDA post, but is there any chance that you still have that ROM and is there any chhance that it's not TextNow loaded? I've got TWRP, Busybox, SuperSU, Xposed, and I've tried every which way to edit the prop, tweak it with modules, unlock etc (it even works with my Sprint MSL, but crashes when I try to manually set my MDN and MSID) It just says no SIM/no service and refused to give me any signal except for GPS and WIFI without one. Countless 'techs' over the phone and 3 different Sprint repair stores claim they don't have the stock firmware and Sharp actually claims that the reason they can't help me with the firmware is their contract with Sprint forbids it.. If you still have the file or a TWRP / Titanium etc backup you would be my savior.
I need some help. Today I had a message on my LG V20 D990DS to install an update. I remember it mentioned voLTE and other improvements, but I don't remember exactly what it said it would improve.
Anyway, following the update it rebooted and gave me a red g.co/ABH warning. Now it refuses it boot, just goes around in the boot loop, ending in this error message. I've tried a hardware button-invoked factory reset, but it just won't reset the device, it just ends up at the 'g.co/ABH' warning. Is it possible to reload the original firmware from LG? If so, is there a procedure that I can refer to and where can I get the original firmware. Any help would be really gratefully received. Thank you.

I just got a LG V20 F800K from a random guy. But right now i can't go past the google account verification. Is there a way to bypass this?
To continue this i just got into a point where phone booted to a Factory reset status: 2, tried LG flashtool 2014, LG flashtool 1.8.1, LGUP but can't wipe whole system, data or cache, every flashtool says that this .kdz doesnt support refurbish, it can only upgrade or update not format and flash. Any help?
The partition that you would need to flash is not in a KDZ. As far as I know, there is no way around FRP unless you have a rooted phone.

So there is no way to unlock it unless i flash it with jtag?
04.10.2017 Progress
Got phone back alive with LGUP, with LG G5 common dlls but still can't get past that FRP, found out a small useless bug when I get to the setting up lock and fingerprint, time and date and name, but still got back to google verification screen FRP
I have an O2 UK H870 and I'd like to use UPPERCUT & LGUP to replace the O2 software with an open GB/European software version. I have the KDZ on my computer.
I've already used UPPERCUT, but I selected 'Upgrade' and although it has upgraded my software to V11i-234-10, it's still showing as the O2 version. Build number NRD90U.
I've tried using 'Refurbish', but I got an error message, something along the lines of 'Unable to Refurbish with this software'.
Do I need to factory reset my phone before using the Refurbish option? I'd appreciate any help, as I don't really want to reset my phone if it's not going to work anyway.

You should try to flash the KDZ and after the flash is finished (before it boots) make an hard reset.
Thanks, but I'm not sure if I understand that correctly.
I'm not able to flash the complete GB/Euro KDZ over my O2 software version. It doesn't appear to work without giving an error, I only seem to be able to do an Upgrade and it still shows as being O2.

I'll repeat myself then, and I'll be a bit more clear.
Whats you should try is flashing the kdz with upgrade option (since Refurbish doesn't work on any G6 model) then right after the flash, before the phone boots, enter in the hard reset menu with button combination and perform an hard reset, then let the phone boot and see if the firmware is changed, if not I think there is nothing you can do to change firmware.
OK thanks for that! :good:
Just an update in case anyone else is thinking of doing the same.
I tried the hard reset after using Uppercut with LGUP and it appears that phone still has O2 software. The software is slightly newer, with the more recent security patches.
I had a custom OS installed but didn't like it anymore. So I decided to return to stock.
I thought the most clean way would be to just flash a clean .kdz file through uppercut. So I backed up my stuff, downloaded an Oreo kdz and tried to flash it but got an invalid command response error. Since this point i couldnt boot anymore. Whenever I reboot with Volume Up + Power I just get into the Firmware Update Screen again. I've read that there might be slight differences between the versions of kdzs, so I downloaded mutliple others and tried to flash them aswell (All downloads were from lg-firmwares, which I considered to be reputable). I also varied the Android Versions because no Oreo kdz worked.
Since all of that didnt work I started to look for alternatives to LGUP + Uppercut. I tried LG-FlashTool which gave me an Error ("required info cannot be found" iirc), LG-Bridge doesn't even open up, LG-SupportTool says that upgrades are unavailable and greys out the reset upgrade errors option. At one point of the whole process I noticed that LGUP now started to say "please use latest dll" which was new. This Error now appears everytime when I try to flash somehting with uppercut, even after reinstalling or placing lgup_common.dll into LGUP/model/Common.
When I try to install a kdz just through LGUP without uppercut i get a "fail write backup partition" error.
Throughout the Process I reinstalled everything at least once and also reinstalled the usb-drivers multiple times. I now noticed that my Phone is not even recognised by adb. All of this problems are not limited to my main computer since I tried the same things on two other laptops. I also tried different usb cables.
At this point I am rather exhausted and have no more ideas. I don't know where i f*cked up, but I did.
What else could I try to get my phone to boot again? I'd appreciate every help.
EDIT:
Got it working. For anyone with the same problem: Just try it again and again. For me LGUP WITHOUT Uppercut and an oreo kdz worked after like the 20th attempt.
