The great brick - help!!

I came from a long way to this point. In this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9-plus/help/bluetooth-issue-vie-l09c25b320-t3548885) you have all the steps that I made but, summarizing, I unlock the bootloader using a official code, I failed flashing the first time so I ended with a NRD90M version with no Bluetooth, no keyboard... I managed to update again using the finnish rollback package for VIE-L09, in this point I ended with a L09C900 and BT working. As everything works it seems that was the moment to flash again to a final version so I access through SRK Tool and change the OEMINFO to the EU one (mine was LA) and flash directly through the 3 buttons mode the full C432B180 (or 181, not sure) but ended with C432B181, wich doesn't receive OTA, so I decided to flah to the final stock rom, the C432B360 version with Nougat. It fails at 63% (more or less). Then I tried with a MM version so I force the update again but this time to the C432B170. And failed. On this point a message saying that my phone is encrypted and that I must access a decryption password appears. So I decided to force it again to the C432B160 and now my phone is stuck in the BOOT screen (the one that warns about that my phone it unlocked with orange letters), does't boot in to Recovery, or ERecovery. The 3 buttons method don't work anymore and the phone doesn't turn off till the battery is drained
I only managed to enter to Fastboot mode and shows that the phone stills unlocked and the FRP too.
What can I do to unbrick my device?? DC Phoenix?? Fatboot flashing BOOT.img, RECOVERY.img??
PLEASE HELP :crying:

Dude.. sorry to hear it!
Maybe a flash of original recovery.img would help? FAstboot works as it should?
If you can get Power+Vol Up/Down to work again, you should rollback with finnish .APP, then flash B181, .. then find the complete guide in this thread

Have you tested DC?

Thanx @deecept for your reply.
Well I think that Fastboot works as it should and I will try as soon as I turn back home to flash RECOVERY.img and I will let you know how it goes.
I'll try again if I could fix the Pwr+VOL Up/Down but I not really sure if it would work.
Dc Phoenix I try it a few weeks ago but with no results. But, in this case, probably it would be the best option. But I want to do it nowing what to do exactly because the last time I spend 23€ for nothing.

I would maybe try to flash the original marshmellow recovery.img, to see if that makes any difference.
Here is some files to aid you.

Hey @deecept, nothing. No changes. Yesterday I flash through fastboot Recovery.img, System.img, Boot.img, cache.img, Cust.img and even Userdata.img. But nothing changes. The device still in a bootloop. I'm thinking to use again DC Unlocker, but I'm not sure exactly what to do? If I need to flash a whole update.app or something else. I don't want to spend the money if im not sure what to do.
Btw, something strange happens in fastboot mode. When I try to erase the cache.img it shows the message that Remote command not allowed. But it let me flash every file that I mention. ¿?¿?
In fastboot mode it shows that Phone is Unlocked and FRP too...

@deecept I finally managed to flash and function L09C432B360 usind DC Phoenix. But I found that, again, I havent the data_full package installed so I dont have AGAIN :crying: neither BT or themes or the update section in adjustments. I want to kill my self.... :cyclops:
How can I add them??
If I use DC Phoenix in which order I must flash the files? I have the file update_data_full_hw_eu. I tried to flash it after flash the update.app of the L09C432B360, but dont work

I downgrade back to C181. Everything was fine. I had my BT, themes, everything... Ok I perform the FF upgrade (changing advanced proxy settings and everything). Go to FF, send the ROM to the updater, in the updater I select full package and start upgrading. The device perform the upgrade weirdly fast (3 or 4 mins maximum), and restart and perform a System optimization. When it stops, restart again and susrprise! I have AGAIN NRD90M Test-keys! How is this even possible @Mostar088???

Yes. I selected that one.
I'm trying to repeat all the process again. I just flash via DC Phoenix B181 again without problem via fastboot but again (previously I dont mentioned it) when performing the second step in DC Phoenix, the upgrade mode flash, fails writing the VERLIST.img.
The firs time that I did it also fails but as I restart and everything works fine I forgot it.
Do you think it could affect to the FF process??
Should I continue redoing again everything??
Thx again @Mostar088. It's being a very long and boring process.

Dont know if it affects the FF, i realy dont know what can be wrong.
U have 72h to use Dc Phoenix so try again.
Try flash a MM with a lower build like B170 or 161 and see if u recive OTA to update B181 just to see if that works before u proceed to upgrade N.
Edit: when u downgrade try update by dload method from B170 to B180 and then if u recive OTA for B181.

Nothing. Again bricked. This time DC Phoenix either can't flash. Still having an error when writing VERLIST.img. No matter which version. I tried B170 and B160.
I read in DC Unlocker forum that a way to fix the VERLIST.img flash fail in upgrade mode is trying to repeat flashing using the dload mode. But it also fails.
Really I think I'm cursed... I'll try to go to the very first step. I'll change oeminfo to the original one (LA) and there I'll try to downgrade. I don't know what else to do

¡¡¡YESSS!! FINALLY. I MADE IT!!!
VIE-L09C432B360 Working properly with Bluetooth, Themes, Apps and all the great stuff from a Huawei Stock version!
I have two theories about why I was failing over and over after flashing B181 and updating to higher versions:
1. Phone was updated properly but as soon as it synchronize with google, something doesn't match with the ner version and end in NRD90M Test-Keys. So previously to the last update, after flashing with DC Unlocker (to exit the bootloop), I go to my google account Device Manager and delete the previous VIE-L09 that I have registered.
2. The other theory was that, all the times that I flash and update I allways was with the bootloader unlocked. This time, after flashing the B181 version y relock the bootloader.
One of this steps help me finally made the update:
I will wrote a thread trying to explain how I did it and adding the files that I use.
I wanna thank @Masters_2017, @CNHowardLai, @deecept and specially @Mostar088, @M.KK for their selfless help for nearly a month.
Best regards!

Help i'm stuck
Hey @Kifivierito! can u help me? i'm stuck with your same problem. Ok i was on C900B174 (or173, yes a global one) then i've tried to update to C432B360, but i've got the "test key version" without the keyboard, (NRD90M Test-keys).
So, i rollback to MM with a package, and i got the C900 version again. Through an update i went on Nougat C900 version without many things that were missing (like the updater app). I go back again to MM and this time i've changed the oem file to C432, then, first i unlocked my bootloader and i rooted sucessfully my phone, installing TWPR recovery too. I would come back to stock with a C432B103 version to lock bootIoader and restore. i've decided to download w "firmware finder" the full rom version C432B360 u installed,following all the instructions, but i cannot install it (i think 'cause of my stupid modifications xD ). Now i'm tring to go stock w C432B181, hoping that the bootloader will be locked again. Idk really what should i do now, i'm really getting frustrated.
Pls help me!
EDIT: Ok this one works great C432B181, now i'm scared to update xD

Hey @dr.feelgoodthedj,
sorry for the late reply. Well that last edit of your post are good news. If you have C432B181 running without problem now you only have to follow the steps tu upgrade via FFinder with the FF Proxy settings. If you follow step by step the guide, you will end up with your P9 Plus with Android 7 and everything working.
If you perform it and fail again, don't hesitate and repeat the process trying one of the two points that I write In my last post. Try to access to google my devices and delete the previous P9 that you have. And after that, if still don't working try to relock your bootloader.
With one of this two steps it MUST work.
Good luck!

Use firmware finder and upgrade to the last FULL version (not OTA). Mine is VIE-L09C900B181. It was possible installing the FULL C432 version (no root just upgrade).

Hello and thank you so much for your help.
- I tried to download a firmware manually and put files on dload folder but when i restart it says it's not a compatible update.
- Before i tried with firmware finder but, i don't know why, i hit download but nothing happens. stuck on 0%. (i configured the proxy in the right way etc...)
Now i'm gonna try to follow the video guide. Honestly i'd avoid to root the device but i have no choice.

Open Firware Finder, select Change Model and set VIE-L09C432.
Select Get Firmware List and then VIE-L09C432B180 Type: FULL Size: 1,616 GB
Download it, check it unpack and move to Dlod
No root needed !

Thanks for your help but it was too late.
Tonight i followed the -first part- of the videoguide (Mostar088's link). I mean i unlocked the phone, installed twrp, root the phone and at last i debranded the phone with srk tool.
After the reboot, i noticed there was an update! so after the update i had my super cool brand new Nougat! but it's not a big deal at all! -_-
some serious and odd things:
- i had NO KEYBOARD just google dictation. i had to fight trying to dictate my google account credentials. But i did it and i installed a keyboard.
- NO BLUETOOTH. i can't activate it. i try to toggle it on but nothing happens.
- XTREME BATTERY DRAIN.
- UPDATER option doesn't work. i tap on it but nothing happens.
Can you help me? I don't know what to do. i think i got the last ota update but it doesn't work.
Thank you!

I did it now it works!
Downgraded to Marshmallow and updated again.

Follow the first part of mostar88 linked guide.
You need to "debrand" to C432. Before debranding you have to root the device. So unlock the bootloader, install twrp, root the device and debrand.
After that just reboot and install the ota update (check for updates). In this way u gonna lose root mode and twrp recovery.

try to follow this steps

Can someone give me some more feedback about these steps? I open Firmware Finder, changed the model and looked up that exact version in the list, full size 1.6gb. I hit download and I let it download (took a few hours), then, the download finished.. but what do I do now? There's no message from Firmware Finder.. the step "check it unpack" .. where do I do this? And "move to Dlod"? What is dlod? A new app?
This is so confusing, lol.

[Help needed!] L09C635B361 can't update via either OTA or TWRP.

Hi guys, I am only a very junior user who randomly flash his phone but most of the time I want my phone to be stable for work. I have had the situation since the recent OTA available, suffered a lot, would like to seek any help or advice.
I have a L09C635B361, Japan version. I updated to Android 7 via OTA, then unlocked / rooted under the instructions in this forum, forgot which exact thread though. Never thought of flashing any customized rom so I haven't realized the update problem until the recent OTA update (from B361 to B382) released. I got the push, downloaded B382 OTA package, restart to TWRP, then the flash was failed in TWRP screen. Restart again, the system notified there was a recent update failure. Then I installed Firmware Finder, downloaded the 3 update zip files, restart back to TWRP, still failed installing. Please refer to the failure screenshot for detailed reson. I have no idea what it said and how I should do differently.
No other way to go, I backed up my system, then wiped my phone, reset to factory mode, but brand new system was very strange: only voice input, no keyboard, missing several key functions such as camera. So I have to restore to my previous system, everything worked well except I can't open "clock".
Right now I am looking at system notification of B382 all the time, but I can't figure out how to get it updated, I don't mind if there's a way enables me go back to stock rom, but it's really hard to find the stock firmware for C635......
Thanks, appreciate your help in advance.

Hey man, try follow this guide to debrand your phone (get onto C432). It will probably unroot you and get you back to stock firmware as well.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/guide-debranding-to-c432-updating-to-t3551523
Might want to check around first though, I dont want you bricking your phone on my account.
Good luck

Thanks bro. I will try the entire process when I have a backup phone.

One more thing is when I first tried to wipe phone, failed for several times. Plus the TWRP flashing error, I have suspect that there's something wrong with my partition information or format error. Can anyone help me to eliminate the possibility by the screenshot please?

On the other hand, I found 3 zip files on Firmware for same version update. Which one should I flash? If I need to flash all of the 3, is there a sequence?

The screenshot for the 3 zip files.

You flash those in the order they appear. Except the last one, don't flash that (I think). From what I know it's always been update.zip and then update_hw.zip.
I see you're going to flash hw_jp which is the Japanese cust, so ignore the advice above about debranding to c432 as that's essentially the same thing as what you are about to do with those files. (C432 is the European version, which is called update_hw_eu.zip)
Also the voice input only bug is well known. You need to rollback to marshmallow (I forget which firmware but there's a thread on it here somewhere) and then OTA back to nougat and it should fix it.

Bootloader unlock and ROOT tutorial Huawei honor note 10 (codename Ravel)

Hello Huawei Honor Note 10 owners,
I've been asked by a member of the xda community to create a short and brief tutorial how to get the ROOT installed on this magnificent device. As many of you know, Huawei are not exactly very friendly releasing the unlock method for a bootloader since earlier this year, so we must be looking for other ways how to get it done ourselves.
So here we go:
1) UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER
The only official way how to get the bootloader unlocked right now, is to pay for this type of service. I had my unlock code delivered fairly fast from the following website:
https://global-unlocking-solutions.miiduu.com/bootloader-unlock-codes-choose-model-below
There are 2 options there, a slow one for $20 and a fast one for $23. Naturally I voted for the faster one to have my device unlocked as soon as possible. Main thing is: it works! Here are the steps how to get the bootloader unlocked for Huawei honor note 10:
a) Go to Settings -> About Phone or Settings -> System -> About Phone and tap on build number 7-8 times. You will see a message “You are now a developer”. At this point head back to Settings and you will see an option called Developer Options. Enable USB debugging on your device now.
b) download and install 15 seconds adb installer on your laptop/PC (ideally running Windows), get the file from here:
https://androidmtk.com/download-15-seconds-adb-installer
c) to ensure you have the correct drivers running for your smarthpone, you might want to install Huawei's HiSuite software found here:
https://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/HiSuite_en/
d) download the following zip package platform-tools_r28.0.1-windows from the source here:
http://mirrors.zzu.edu.cn/android/repository/?C=M;O=D
e) boot your phone into fastboot/bootloader mode.
Make sure the phone is turned on and connect it to computer using usb cable.
Open command prompt/power shell pressing SHIFT+right click (touchpad or mouse) on Windows. It will be a dark blue command screen. You must execute this step inside the platform-tools folder from step d)
Type in the following line: adb reboot bootloader. Your phone reboots to fastboot mode in a few seconds.
Now type in another line: fastboot device. Your phone will be listed as a combination of letter and numbers.
Last line to type: fastboot oem unlock **********. The stars represent your unique unlock code that was given to you from the website above.
You will see a warning message about Unlock Bootloader, use Volume buttons to navigate to Yes (highlighted in red) and Power button to select Yes.
Your device will now reboot, wipe all data and then boot back into Android. Your Note 10's bootloader has been just unlocked, congratulations!
2) FLASH TWRP recovery to HUAWEI HONOR NOTE 10
a) first you need to download the following apk as listed by bark1234: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AizwhfImY2xzgadtepfbKJ1BQqxMvg
You can open it up using winrar and just extract the twrp.img file from it. Keep this file as it is the actual TWRP. It is important that you move the twrp.img file in the platform-tools folder, don't skip this step!
b) Turn off your phone. Press and hold Power + Volume Down until you see a fastboot screen.
Or you can also boot into fastboot mode while device is on. Just connect the phone to laptop/PC using usb cable. Open command prompt/power shell from within the platform-tools folder and execute the following lines:
type the familiar line: adb reboot bootloader
next line to type: fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img. You will see that command executed successfully in matter of second.
last line to type: fastboot reboot. As soon as you execute this last command line, remove the USB cable and keep pressing Volume UP, so the device will boot to TWRP. If you don't do it quickly enough, your phone just reboots back to system. But no worries, TWRP is already there!
3) ROOT HUAWEI HONOR NOTE 10
a) download the latest stable Magisk zip file from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445.
Have it ready there, make sure to keep it on your phone's internal memory under one of the folders (I kept it under Downloads folder).
b) Switch off your phone and reboot it by holding volume up + power button. You will boot into TWRP recovery. Be patient there, you might want to hold both buttons for a good while until you see the TWRP screen.
NOTE: In my case the TWRP was encrypted, because I had my lock screen password active (under security settings in system). To bypass this, I just switched lock screen feature completely off. This way TWRP stopped asking for the password and I could proceed with flashing procedure without a problem.
c) Once you're inside TWRP, just locate the Magisk zip file and flash it. Just like that. Then you can reboot back to system.
d) download the Magisk file manager from the same source where you download the Magisk zip file: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Now you're rooted:good:
IMPORTANT NOTE: I will not be held responsible if anyone bricks their HUAWEI HONOR NOTE 10 following this tutorial. It works for me, hopefully it will work for you, too.

Anyone has already tried that?
The site does not look very serious to me.
In addition, I would wait until there is an official firmware if something goes wrong.

I have ordered from https://global-unlocking-solutions.miiduu.com/bootloader-unlock-codes-choose-model-below and got the code in 3-4 hours. though i ordered 1-20 mins one, buts thats okay.
Finally i can confirm the mentioned website works for bootloader unlock code.

I was able to achieve all of the above. I understand your concerns about that website's appearance. But... the unlock code works. You can pay per PayPal in case things go south.
You can download official firmware online. The latest one I was able to locate and download was the 125 build version. Although admittedly I haven't tested that version...
For now my phone is rooted, running on the latest 132 build?.
P. S. I can only imagine there will be "more trustworthy" bootloader unlocking service available in some time. And hopefully cheaper, too. Right now this is the next best thing and for those ones who are impatient to wait (like myself) can benefit from it.
Hope this helps?.

Thanks for the confirmation. Feel free to root the beast now?

Now successfully Rooted. Thanks a lot guys. all because of xda camaraderie.
And i was able to get full rom 125 package. Yes i downloaded it from http://androidhost.ru/41z, so be careful while flashing, i haven't tried it yet.

I'd be careful flashing it (haven't tried it myself), but here's the source:
http://androidhost.ru/41z
Androidhost.ru offers 3 firmware versions for Note 10, with an exception of the latest one. But I believe there's the 132 build floating somewhere around Chinese forums, but that's beyond my powers, as it requires creating accounts and point systems and so on...
And yes, bootloader unlock wipes your data, so you'll be back to a fresh system. Just make a backup from the system settings beforehand and you'll be good. Worked for me?.

Ok,i test it in 2-3 Hours and give the Feedback.

Ok,what i test.
Unlock Bootloader works.
Twrp works
Downgrade failed from 132 to 125 at 99% bit it shows in Settings-Phone Info 125
Update to 132 works
Update via Hi Suite from 125 to 132 works
Back to Stock with eRecovery to 132 works.
Root not testing but later
---------- Post added at 01:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 PM ----------
Update:Bootloader is locked if you downgrade from 132 to 125!Unlock again.Phone Locked,not Relocked.So original condition that's good
Uploading the Full 132 Rom maybe you can do something with it,it is from Hi Suite Update

Thanks a lot for all the input, much appreciated!. When you say your bootloader got locked again, can you actually reuse the unlock code over and over again if you want to have the bootloader unlocked again, is that correct? I just wonder if we have to unlock the bootloader again in case there's a future update released from Huawei to a newer build (higher than 132).

Nice thx ill be the receiving the phone in a few days and was kinda bumbed out when i found out it couldn't be unlocked/rooted. its gonna cost me a little but i will be worth it for use with adaway, viper4android and luckypatcher etc.

Just for your information, viper4android will not run on any Huawei device from EMUI 8 and above due to 64bit audio drivers only, viper4android runs on 32bits. Just tested all versions myself listed under Magisk modules and all of them fail on driver needs to be reinstalled message

Now that we can unlock we need a port of the AOSP from openkirin.net.
Unfortunately, beyond my pay grade. An alternate OS is what this device needs outside of china.

At&t G8 Bootloader Unlocking Guide

Edit before publishing: I started writing this for all variants other than sprint, but I'll now make a separate thread for variants that have kdzs and those that don't, otherwise this will be a mess.
Firstly, keep in mind that no one is responsible if you end up bricking your device! There is currently no way to recover from a hard brick other than sending your phone in for repair, so make sure you follow every single step carefully if you wish to proceed!
Additionally, flashing an xbl through DD may not pass randomly even if it appears that it has worked, so be aware of the risks. Only at&t users will need to flash the xbls anyway since that is the only variant other than sprint which does not have kdzs available.
Users with the AT&T variant who are stuck on pie: temp root only works on android 10, as such you will unfortunately not be able to bootloader unlock your device. The firehose may leak at some point in a few months, and you will be able to unlock (and update manually) if it does.
The process for unlocking bootloaders on models other than the sprint one (specifically At&t for this guide) is practically identical; however, it uses different xbl_config.img and xbl.img files, which need to be specific for your device from the pie firmware.
The version naming may not be the exact same for other models, but you just have to ensure that you are on the March patch or below. If you are on April, you can find the guide to switch slots and do so in order to revert to March. To STOP UPDATES, fully uninstall or disable the update center packages either with ADB or package disabler pro for LG, which you can easily find online.
So I repeat, you're going to follow the sprint g8 bootloader unlocking guide, but you have to use the xbl and xbl_config for your device rather than the ones provided in the sprint guide. The engineering abl is the same, but I'll include it here anyway so that you don't have to mess around with any of the files provided in the sprint g8 guide.
Now, steps that are to be ignored and steps that may differ slightly:
Keep in mind that I'm only mentioning what you should be aware of and what may be different, but you still have to follow the guide written by BrandonB1218 in general.
1a: Of course, you still need a vulnerable firmware, and sadly AT&T does not provide kdzs, so you cannot bootloader unlock if you are on the May patch.
You can Ignore this: I found that another method that most likely stops updates is following this guide on youtube. It's supposed to bypass frp lock, but it also gets by all the LG agreements you have to accept, so it will ask you to agree to these if you ever open up the software update option in settings and will probably not update if you don't.
2: Some people had issues with different versions of the mroot script, so try all of them before you come asking for help please. I also suggest that you just temp root without running the temp root magisk setup as you may end up bricking if you accidentally flash a module or make magisk flash a patched boot img (DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING OTHER THAN WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THE GUIDE).
I suggest running the backup script and the commands to make sure you're completely safe, but make sure you keep them separate because a lot of the partitions included in the commands that @BrandonB1218 mentioned are device specific and include your IMEI. The backup script should only backup the partitions that aren't device specific such as system, and this is probably the one you'll need if at all because you shouldn't be touching other partitions. STILL DO BOTH THOUGH
3a: Yes, you have to run the command to find out which slot you're on, but you will not flash anything from the pie or 20d sprint backup that's listed there, or else you will likely brick.
3b and 3c: This should all be the same: If your active slot is A, follow 3b, and if your active slot is B, follow 3c. The commands should also be the same, just with different files.
If your active slot is A, but the files included for your device are also named xbl_a.img, for example, you can just rename them to fit with the command.
Otherwise, you can just change this, for example,
dd if=/storage/emulated/0/Download/xbl_b.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/xbl_b
to this:
dd if=/storage/emulated/0/Download/xbl_a.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/xbl_b
You also need to flash the engineering laf, so either rename the file or change the command so it works. The link is embedded
Overall, its just important that you take the right file in the first part of the command and flash it to the correct partition of the correct slot in the second part.
If I remember correctly, the method to boot into fastboot is hold vol- and power until the screen goes black (while the phone is plugged into the computer) and then to let go of power as soon as that happens.
4a and 4b: You do not want to do either of these as the boot img and other partitions vary per variant. I unfortunately do not have the magisk patched At&t boot img, but you can patch it yourself from the backup you made and flash it. It might be good to do this beforehand, but you could also just temp root again and dd flash it.
Alternatively, you can flash the metaphysics 1.7 kernel with twrp and magisk included, but you still have to follow the rest of the twrp installation in the sprint g8 bl unlocking guide. TWRP is the same for all US variants.
Congrats! You should now be bootloader unlocked and ready to go at this point. If you ever find yourself unable to boot on the slot which DOES NOT have the engineering abl, you can always switch to the slot with the engineering abl, go to fastboot, and fastboot flash your backed up partitions.

Hi and thanks for your job. Can I flash the lg g8 at&t with the unlocked firmware G820QM10I after that I unlocked the bootloader? Because I live in UK and At&t Ba....ds blocked the use of the 3g connection, so I cannot use at my home.... But I thought that whit an unlucked firmaware I could do.

Hey, thanks for the guide. I'm rather worried about trying this as LG's newer models are so darn easy to brick. AT&T variant has no LG Bridge support which is incredibly stupid. At least we have kind people like you helping us free our phones

My LG G8 is a secondary phone right now, and as such, I'm very interested in trying this out. Unfortunately, the download link for AT&T_G8.zip give me a 404.

Not shocking that it's still dead. Tried telling antintin on Telegram the day after he posted this that there were issues retrieving the file from here and he blew me off, telling me it was probably because of my country. Tried with home USA network, USA VPN, and UK VPN. ?

Would it be possible to have someone upload it to their Google Drive, or Dropbox and send the link via PM or something? That way, when the person confirms that he has downloaded it, it can be removed from the service in question.

Just out of consideration for space in your account, in case you were low on free space. I also didn't notice that it was a < 3MB file.

so is someone going to reupload the file or what? cant even download it from the op attachment.
does this even work with 20m or are those of us out of luck?
