Help!! Lg optimus zone (verizon prepaid) stuck in boot loop

Idk what you're up to now Erik but your super cryptic message was a lifesaver. I extracted the .TOT and the .dll from the .wdb using some other software as RevSkills has been nuked from the internet for about 10 years now but the file was able to be extracted using new command line tool anyway. To anyone reading this in the future, the only software that you'll need for this process is the offline LG Flasher and Verizon unified drivers, which I've included in the linked zip that I've compiled based off of Erik's description. I'm not sure if linking these files violates some copyright law, but it'll save someone from a world of confusion.

Download for all the relevant files (.dll, .TOT, installers, etc.): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CZOzjHW4uwNdx9tE7E_gzX4sS6yvRDz4/view?usp=sharing

Also this is the tutorial for the LG Flash tool which he's referencing, it's very short and straightforward:

Can't save camera photos to sd card

Hi,
I've got the same issue.
And yes I did formatted as internal.
And yes my Google photos storage setting is greyed out.
So what you stayed above says that Google photos is using the SD card to store photos if it's formatted as internal...
If that's true then when I look at what is on the SD card there are no photos or videos that Google photos has stored there.
Did you mean to say that if the SD card is formatted as internal that Google photos is already using the internal memory for storage of photos and videos?
If that's the case then can you please provide any other method or procedure for changing the SD card to portable which I assume will allow storage selection to be changed SD card while using Google photos?
Thanks

Galaxy S10 Needs Factory Reset - Can't See Screen

Thanks for all the input. While at the store, the rep saw what my screen was and wasn't doing and still put in for some trade-in value.
Spoke with Tech support today, and got more from the forum here.
I'm going to stop by the VZ store tomorrow to see if they can reset it. I don't think the trade-in was that much, I may just keep the phone and see what it will cost to get the screen fixed, or if I can fix it.
Yesterday was pretty funny, the screen on the old phone was flickering on and off, back and forth, but I was still able to use a cable and Samsung Smart Switch (or whatever they call it) to transfer everything to the new phone.....it wasn't pretty (and not for the faint hearted) but it worked out.
Thanks for your input everyone.

Some expert can explain this?

That's possible, try running this command in a terminal -
compgen -c

it should list all commands available to you. If that gives a 'command not found' or similar error, you should install busybox (It does not need root).

Thanks a lot for your reply. Yes compgen gives compgen not found. I looked for Busybox, there are many, I installed this because it said in the play store no root
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.busybox.installer&hl=en
But when I started busy box it said Not rooted and must be to work properly.
I switched off the tablet and started it again, but when I opened the terminal compgen gave the same message. I have uninstalled this tool
Tried also
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=burrows.apps.busybox&hl=en
and
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=busybox.lite&hl=en
They do not work...
Please advise and thanks again

Trying to run a program on a tablet not rooted, possible?

Hi all,
sorry if my question is stupid, but I am not expert. I want to run a program written by me named 4 (for some heavy math computations, no input, just output to a file, the only thing I need is CPU) but when I run Termux on a Huawei MediaPad M5 I get always permission denied. I managed to find the file blindly in /storage/emulated/0/4.

On two phones without being root I copied it in the home dir of the terminal app and made chmod and run it. Very easy

But here even cp is refused because permission denied. Is there any way to do this also here without being root?

Thanks in advance

Flag/crown notification in status bar

It doesn't look like any form of dating app. Nothing about it says chat either. I saw it as some sort of document, though whether it was supposed to be a ticket, a page from a planner, from a newpaper or magazine, or from a webpage or blog, it's impossible to say.

(Of course chat apps also have many uses other than dating - I have 2 that my wife doesn't have, which are used exclusively for work discussions).

The truth is that we get a number of these queries most days, and they are almost all "is this a dating app?", so you are far from alone. It seems to have been something that's developed over the last couple of years, before that we never got such queries - I suspect there's a thesis there if any sociologists are reading this ;). But there are so many apps out there that in many cases nobody can identify the particular icon, so if you really care the simplest answer is to ask him or her.

Apps Bluetooth discovery issue - Jetpack Compose + Kotlin

If you are using android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION I have found that you must also have android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION.
My Manifest permissions look like this
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_SCAN"/>

Hope that helps

Screen won't break

So after starting this thread I somehow managed to scratch it. Definitely get a screen protector folks.
Then you can try a screen protector from Gadgetshieldz where I bought one for my S21 Ultra and it gives good protection. I dropped my phone 3-4 times but it had no impact on my screen because of this protector. I'll drop a link for you,

Nokia G50 Smartphone

Thanks.

I was having trouble acessing the phone's files from my PC to download camera photos and thought I might have encountered some major issue with Nokia's Android implementation.

I realised eventually I just needed to give the PC access from the phone's notifications when I plugged in the USB lead. I never needed to do this with my old Samsung Galaxy J5 phone. However I do remember having to do that with some of my other older android devices.
ok well i'm glad you were able to figure it out.
