Hi. Please could somebody help me. I have a UK model from orange. It's now unlocked but has orange bloatware. I have searched the forums for a debrand method but only found one, and that only works with win xp.
Is there any way to unbrand this phone with windows 7. Orange did not support this phone and it's still stuck on android 2.2.2.
Thanks in advance

AFAIK by installing any custom ROM your phone will be unbranded.

Have you tried updating your phone through EMERGENCY mode in LGFlashTool? Maybe you'll get stock ICS / JB because the branded ones are not made by LG?

Wow, i had no idea ? Who made them ?
How do i go about the process ? To be honest, i'm quite nervous about doing it. I've unbranded a number of phones in the past but this a tad more complicated.
I really appreciate that you have continued to be of help. Thankyou !

Could you try this?
I've done it a few times myself, with succes, and I think this is the way I've managed it.
*This asumes you've installed
Follow this on the official LG site: http://www.lg.com/uk/support-mobile/lg-LGP920 , and go to the tab "software update".
But instead of just updating your phone do this: Click on User/Support (above) then emergency mode, insert your IMEI and click on check
?
It didn't work i'm afraid. What's really odd is that the phone is on froyo 2.2.2 and the OTA update from the phone says there's no update available. Yet the lg update tool tells me an update is available yet after it has downloaded and about to 'install' it stops and says that the update cannot continue because a 'fatal error' has occured ?
Very odd. I'm guessing the orange bloatware is the problem. I HATE orange !
Edit. Ok, i just installed all the flashing tools to my pc (win 7) But when i open flash tool a window appears saying 'lg usb/parallel key is not detected. i'm also asked for a password and id ?

I downloaded everything but there was no crack included for the flashtool and no .dll file to enter into the flashtool ? it certainly looks incomplete so did not help at all.
Do i really have to keep entering an image verification everytime i need to reply on my own thread ? Seems so daft.
If it is rooted you can delete almost anything you want.

I don't quite follow ? I don't need to delete anything. I'm trying to flash the phone to an updated version of android. I have a UK orange branded p920 3D but it's on froyo 2.2.2 and won't update any further.

Funnily enough i tried your method first. The flashtool kept asking for an id and password so i could not continue. Where do i find the id and password ? that was with flashtool 1.1 running on win 7
Copy the indicated file over the original as instructed or use 1.2 if you want. You also have to run the installer before using it...It might be a good idea to run it in xp sp3 compatibility mode.

The link for downloading the p920 .dll file is broken. Is it available anywhere else ?
Thanks for telling me, I'll repost it...
In the mean time you could try this. It's not my link, though

Thanks drastic00. I've downloaded the link :good:
not working
I've now tried all methods and nothing works. The furthest i have got so is to hit the yellow start button on the flash tool, but the port does not become ready. I have followed all instructions to the letter.
Recheck step 1 details carefully. Be sure antivirus and Defender are off when downloading and decompressing. It won't start until drivers are installed correctly.
You should see the devices in device manager with no 'blinking' of the omap device, and LG CDMA USB SERIAL, on which you change the port number to 41. Then you are ready to flash.
That part is fiddly.
Currently designed for the Wifi version only. Alternates available upon request.
This package includes the de-odexed system and framework folder based on a wifi model.
This is NOT a full install, so do NOT wipe before using.
This package is designed to be used with the custom recovery image. This will NOT work with Odin.
This will delete the current system and framework folders and flash the new ones in their place. This is only a temporary solution until a full rooted install is established.

Request!
My Verizon GC120 should be here in a couple of days. As far as I know it is untouched stock. Let me know the commands to pull the files you need for this and the other dev work you are doing.
Thank you for taking the time to do the work! We all appreciate it!
Finally received a GC120 camera I can do something with. Attached are the .img files pulled. About says my phone is on 4.1.2 (LK3) but I keep getting an install update request although the folder titled as the update in /cache is empty (so there's nothing I can pull from that).
I also pulled the modem.bin but it says invalid file when I try to upload.
*These are the files for LK3
Camera updated to LL2. Updated files attached.
MC4 files attached
So maybe I screwed myself updating all the way to MK4 update. Can't root using framaroot now like I did with all the others. Gonna try a few other options.
Can someone please tell me the adb command to find whether a bootloader is locked or not? I have tried several I've found online and don't receive anything conclusive. Thanks.
Be back in a week or so. Final project is in the beta test stage so I am swamped until it reaches the release candidate.

I dug through everything I have but no efs.img and if I remember right, you'd need one with your IMEI. Best bet is probably a factory reset.
Didn't help... tried factory reset with stock recovery and cwm recovery... nothing helps... i don't know a way to get it fixed... will keep looking...
Finally got it fixed. As GC100 is similar to S3, downloaded efs file for S3 flashed it via odin through bootloader and voila... attaching the file for reference if anyone else gets into trouble!

UPDATE:
I managed to fix it by first running the ACDU fix and then installing the European RUU over it! It even updates now!!
ACDU.exe (click the button on the right to download)
Released RUUs for HTC 8X (make sure to get one that corresponds to your device!)
KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS HAS WORKED FOR ME AND MY SECURITY UNLOCKED DEVICE,
THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL WORK FOR YOU
IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE, IT'S ON YOU.
Steps:
Put your device in the bootloader screen by powering it off, and then turning it back on while holding the vol up + vol down buttons simultaneously.
Connect the device to your computer and let Windows locate and install the driver needed. Wait until the driver is fully installed and/or you can see the word USB written on the bootloader screen.
Run the ACDU.exe file and let it do its job (This supposedly unbrands your phone!). It should restart a couple of times showing a green screen and then eventually go into the bootloader menu. It might say something like "UEFI for Key Provision ONLY" in red letters, ignore that.
Run the RUU you've downloaded and if everything goes as planned it should flash correctly. If not, make sure you've downloaded the correct RUU for your device and that it's not corrupted.
Enjoy your (unbricked and) updatable security unlocked device.
I hope this helps!!

Hello,
I have an HTC 8X that appears to be security unlocked and therefore could not receive updates.
In my infinite wisdom, I decided to try to flash the European RUU that has been released in the internet, hoping it would allow me to update the phone further. I did not proceed unprepared and I did indeed check that the phone was European (it initially had the OS version: 2.00.401.03) so it looked as if everything matched.
However, after starting the update, RUU flashed some UEFI related files and then the phone restarted. It started up and resumed the main firmware flashing process, stopping at the 1% mark and restarting back the bootloader.
The error code reported by RUU is the following:
Error [340]: ENCSS_VERIFY_ERROR
SSD Error, please flash subsystem does not encrypted image
The error message is kinda incoherent and I can't find anything about it (except in a thread in XDA, where someone states that this might be because I need an American firmware?), what's worse is that I'm left with a soft-bricked device that I can do nothing with since it can only boot to the bootloader.
The device is unlocked, unbranded and security unlocked (CID: 11111111), yet I'm still stuck.
If I try to flash only the UEFI stuff (by removing the RUU .nbh from the directory), the device is then able to boot to the HTC logo and get into the dual gear screen, where it gets stuck. The hard reset option does not seem to work at all, the phone restarts at the HTC logo if I keep the vol down button pressed. Strangely, I can get into the lightning screen but I dunno what that might do.
Did I mention that the device cannot shutdown? Yeah... It only restarts...
Does anyone know any way to fix this? Or why this might be occuring?

I've managed to fix it and I've included the solution in my first post. I hope this helps.
This just skips the CID check.
You can also change the CID by command to like HTC__001 and get the OTA's and be able to install RUU's the normal way.

Ah, that's unfortunate. I don't know of a way to bypass the version check. =/ I don't understand why they're making things so difficult for end users. If you're flashing a full ROM, then you don't care what the previous one was... The only thing I can think of is that maybe on each update they blow a fuse so that you can't go back, like on the Xbox360

Well, unless we can find a way to bypass the OS version check set by HTC (or MS?), I guess you're stuck. =(
I was thinking of updating to 8.1 but after the whole ordeal above, I said "**** it, I'll get it when it's updatable! I'm not taking the change of bricking it again.."

I don't have the ACDU file but I was able to unlock my phone using the ACDU_UEFI_PROV_KEY.nbh file.
1. Download ACDU_UEFI_PROV_KEY https://mega.co.nz/#!UlMS1CyQ!rX-5-U6mmBHncVw6etFYeuSuV-OLX1De-jgkgEGf6FU
2. Put the ACDU file in the same directory as the ROMUpdateUtility (move the other .nbh files to another folder)
3. Run ROMUpdateUtility.exe
4. Phone should flash and unlock
5. Delete the ACDU_UEFI_PROV_KEY file
6. Move the UEFI_signed.nbh and RUU_signed.nbh files back
7. Run ROMUpdateUtility.exe again to flash ROM
Can someone upload ACDU.exe fix file again??

I am well aware of that. Do you guys think we will ever be able to install W10 on our phones. Contacted HTC support and they said that the 8X will not be compatible with W10 because of some hardware limitations, but they were not willing to tell specifics. What are the chances that we will be able to still install W10 by unofficial means?

The fact is that the update was sent to ALL HTC 8X in the world. Mine installed the update during the night without my consent.
Microsoft will probably blame Skynet for trying to terminate all and each 8x there is.
Well...Mine is broken now. I'll be waiting for official fixes.

Spent hours to restore some other rom, only got "INVALID VENDER ID" (sic) by the ROMUpdateUtility. My phone completed the update, seems to work fine, just reboots randomly after a couple of minutes. Had to setup wifi after a hard reset, otherwise apps were missing, including the Settings app. And the letters are tiny. This is sad and hilarious. Also, camera is gonsky.

I think you misunderstood me, no roms worked. There are many on the internet, even here on this forum. There seems to be an id in the phone and it does not match with the package.
Tried these with my t-mobile branded EU phone, all invalid.

Also talked with HTC live support, they have no idea of course.
Windows Phone Recovery Tool detects the phone, but can't offer any ROM.

Those links are all offline -> 404 error
What about this topic the procedure should be similar to flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2137556
it has link to official rom HTC_Europe_2.00.401.03 which is at http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Accord

My phone does not want to recognize the image files on a pen drive when I hold the cam button. It just boots Windows normally.
EDIT: Managed to buy an y-cable and the rom flashed from the pen drive! Back to 8.1 again.
Hey everyone, I managed to download the OTA update bin file from FOTA server for the S8 Unlocked (US Version). If anyone is interested in testing and post the update I will leave the link to the OTA bin file. I am actually working on it as well. I am assuming it should be flashable as long as you have latest Nougat 7.0 for the unlocked S8 or if you have installed Unlocked firmware in your Carrier branded Galaxy S8. I will be doing some test as well but I need some rest before I start working on it again. Will keep you all posted and hope some of you guys would like to do some test with it. I am pretty sure we will figure out how to flash it.
As far as I know from last year you could flash update.zip file which was extracted from the Verizon S7 Edge. Since its unlocked firmware/OTA file I would assume it will be doable.
Normally you will have to keep the file in your sdCard and go to recovery mode and apply update from SD card but we will definitely have to do some testing if that doesn't work out.
Link for the OTA update bin file: https://mega.nz/#F!k6IjlJoC!VJJ3gyVaF8ofphE1fZvD8A
EDIT: found a way to download whole firmware will post sometime after midnight once I get off from work.
we cant flash .bin files. Doesnt work. We already tried.
thank you! I would love to know how to flash this if possible?

1 possible way might be to extract the content of bin with 7zip. then compress it with 7zip as a zip file. name it the same name. put on sdcard and reboot to recovery. then apply update from sdcard and prey to what ever god you like that it works.
trying to help.

Nope is not working there are two errors 1st is e.footer is wrong and 2nd is signature verification failed
If someone has a Snapdragon S8 with bootloader unlocked and TWRP, maybe you can sideload it by disabling signature verification?
When flashing updates via stock recovery create a folder call FOTA in SD card and place file there rename it update.zip just make sure you don't end up with update.zip.zip

Only snapdragons that have bootloader unlock is the Chinese edition and loading that would probably brick them or best casensrio perma lock their bootloader

It wouldn't do either of those. It would just fail.

Yup I saw it just went live. I reverted back to Nougat and was trying to get the OTA update.zip file. And noticed that it just went live. For some reason it did not detect that I was already registered and asked me to registered again. I wonder if everyone who did it by bypassing server has to register again to claim their actual spot for later updates.

Don't know and don't care. It's downloading officially now brother and I'm a happy camper lol once it download I will do factory reset and have it fresh
Does anyone know if we can use SamPWND root method but without clearing cache? I am assuming I can do that by not flashing CSC which contains the cache partition.
I am trying to grab update.zip from cache partition.
Turns out my assumption of update.zip file being stored in /cache were wrong its actually stored in /data/fota folder. I guess we are out of luck here. I was thinking what is that converts .bin file to .zip file instantly after downloading onto Galaxy S8. I don't see any other way beside renaming and adding signature (though it already has the signature from Samsung.

Well I have a question for you brother.
I just officially download and installed it. But wanted to do a fresh start basically a factory reset and download everything from scratch. If I do the factory reset would it kick me out of beta and take me back to 7.0 or just take me back to 7.0 or will start with 8.0?

factory reset will stay on 8.0
Would it kick me out of the beta program though. That's the most important thing for me ?

Please advice on my earlier question brother.
You guys think FlashFire could flash it?
