I don't see a service code the six digit one.. . Maybe its cause I'm on my phone. NM theres no code at the top but instuctions on the bottom. Im very curuious about this semi boot mode...
 
The code it is asking for is the six digit metro spc. The app it links to is actually really helpful for finding it, if you're not on a computer.

Nevertheless, this does seem interesting. I'll be looking into it.
 
Semi boot is checked and system is rebooting as normal. Not too sure what its effecting, need to run a log when i have time.

I saw this the first time the lgservicemenu thread came up, all I've noticed is that it cuts down on alot of startup activities. What is odd though is that while using bosses' recovery apk , half-boot mode cut out the five second black screen. >>;
 
If semiboot does anything worth something it maybe best to try the original 4x recovery. Are you using the latest apk I posted I'm afraid after switching the netd file it lost the recovery side.
 
I used 1.1 and noticed what had happened before using 1.2. I couldn't find 1.0 so no clue what would happen. Probably a
 
Sw sanity is just a stress test, sorta like a benchmark for the software instead of the hardware.

I've gone through just about all the options and fiddled with them all for reference purposes, if anyone has questions about any of the options just shoot me a p.m., ill be more then happy to help you out. :)
