[Q] D850 Issue (accident)

So here's the thing. I accidentally put Sphinx Rom on my D850. The rom is only for D855. Now my mic and headset do not work. I have tried to flash back to stock rom, but it won't let me since it believes my phone is an D855 now. Anyone have any ideas?

This is just a thought, but maybe you could check your build.prop and compare it to that of an untouched D850 and mirror that on your device / look for any differences. I have used this trick to fool certain apps/etc to install by making them think one device was another device, for example, installing tablet only games on a phone. I am not sure if this would remedy your situation and allow you to return to stock, especially with our current bootloader situation making it all the more difficult.
I guess one other option would be to get it replaced under warranty, without being "untruthful" to your carrier of course... Just play dumb
Just food for thought like I said, and your mileage may vary.
Maybe others can chime in and add some other thoughts.
Good luck!

Hmm. I'll try searching.

All, correct me if I am wrong but I believe that the D855 is the international version, while the D851 is the T-Mobile version.
OP said that the ROM was only for D855.
Thoughts?
The title specifies a d850 not a d851. The d850 has a locked bootloader therefor you cannot install a custom recovery let alone a rom. I dont care if the rom was a d855 or d851 or for the d850.

I'm aware... I was clarifying the difference between the D851 and D855. I am well aware of the locked bootloader.

OK I'm confused, why are you even talking about a d851 at all? The 2 devices that the OP listed was a D850 and D855. We all all aware of the differences of the devices that is why we are questioning how he flashed anything on the D850 in the first place

Because of the first quoted post above... Does everything have to become an argument these days? I was clarifying for that individual, and it clearly says "Tmobile"...

Number one who is arguing that person was still asking how to flash a rom on the d850. Just relax no one is attacking anyone i was just trying to understand your post.

He didn't. It's virtually impossibly without unlocked boot loader and custom recovery. If he had it would have rendered it unbootable.

AT&T D850 use International Firmware?

I haven't owned an LG in a little while, Thinking about buying a G3 along with to update my Guide etc.
But anyone who has the D850 do you or have you ran an International firmware? I really like to stay stock, But when I last tried a G3 D850 it was awful and buggy and my guess would be because of the things AT&T has done to it as well I hate the data icons.
Any Suggestions? Should I go with LG G3 or just get something else?
I`m working on getting a brand new one for $375 + Tax at the AT&T store
We have cloudy and poweruser and another stock based ROM that all run great.... But illusion is where its at right now !

Yes, it's very doable. You just need to reflash the modules and kernel to the D850 version, and change a couple of lines in build.prop.

Is it possible to flash SM-915T with SM-915F rom?

Hi All,
Is it possible to flash SM-915F rom on a SM-915T?

Simple answer, no...
We would need to get some development done to port it to our phones.

It seems that different model numbers need specific roms. You can't flash a 915f rom on my 915G, tried and just get reboots. It is something that stops it working, whether its the CSC, build.prop or bootloader I don't know...

Root for Sprint variant?

Is there currently any method for rooting this device? If not, is anyone at least working on one?

Not yet. Only the EU variant has unlockable bootloader so we'll just have to wait and see what we can learn from that version. Hopefully it will help other variants.

Has anyone gotten OOS 12 on the IN2019 (Verizon OnePlus 8)?

Been looking for a solution to convert this device to the global variant successfully with the modem working or to get Verizon to release the update. It's been one year since Android 12 has been released and it doesn't seem like OOS 12 is coming anytime soon, so if anyone knows how to get the modem working on the global variant, I'd be glad.
The hardware and kernel source are fundamentally different on the Verizon model. Even if you somehow got global firmware installed with working data, you'd have a lot of other bugs and glitches because the hardware isn't compatible with the Global OS.

It works quite well. on the V model (that's what I have). but you need to back up your modem for data. It's best to reset to 11 factory. Then you can run ROMs that are OS 12.

I believe he means that you can run Android 12 ROMs, not custom ROMs, unless I misread?

I did not use a specific guide. I have been rooting the phone for some time and found that I could flash os global using a fastboot flash ROM. If you root your phone and save the stock os the 11 modems you can replace it in the global rom.
I will correct myself and say that I don't remember for sure if global will work (for modem replacement) but you can get custom ROMs to work well with that method.
I would have to go back and sort through for the links or try again to be sure. But if you know what you're doing, it is pretty hard to brick the phone. So play around with other guides. (with your own risk and discretion involved).
You can even run android 13 on the V model( not good IMO. buggy).

I don't think the stock Verizon modem works on the global ROM? Or did it work for you?

Stock modem does not work. That is for sure. I've moved to the pixel 7 Pro so I won't be messing with the one plus anymore.
