Tmobile gonna be very mad at you guys :laugh: (love it)

Thank you sir for all your hard work will donate to you for sure you deserve it even though i upgraded to oreo lol

Again thanks a lot sir
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
This method works on all current versions -- including Oreo. ;)

However, you have to downgrade with the exact method that I posted above, and then flash the laf partition from the H933 KDZ that I linked.

Follow those steps, and your phone will be ready for when I finish creating the new h932-dd-write repo :)

Also, your FIRST post should be edited to prominently point to this thread:

If you partition your phone to handle that. There's a thread for that and there's a "Treble-ized" Joan TWRP, different from regular TWRP that [MENTION=3475147]SGCMarkus[/MENTION] also made.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] lowkeyst4tus:
OMG.. I just got weak in the knees.. thank you so much for your help.. exactly what I needed.. I almost gave up and sold the phone.. should I sim unlock 1st or can I still sim unlock after or will something like a Verizon rom automatically unlock it?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
OK, if you're really interested, here's the two threads you need to start stalking:

GUIDE: How to repartition for vendor and how to use GSIs -By SGCMarkus

[GUIDE] Having a decent Android P GSI experience while Markus works.

But I warn you, you are jumping into the deep end of the pool.

[MENTION=3475147]SGCMarkus[/MENTION] (writer of the first guide) is also the person who gave us our current "normal" version of TWRP as well as a "Treble-ized" version. Both are available in the

same TWRP thread,

but you MUST have your phone partitioned right to use the Treble-ized version.

The second guide was written by someone who wanted to continue messing with this when [MENTION=3475147]SGCMarkus[/MENTION] got busy with other projects. (Which is why he hasn't updated our TWRP to very newest version yet.) Both guides complement each other.

I would be very wary flashing something like a Verizon stock image ROM or even US998 stock image ROM. (US998 is also carrier unlocked.) That would just be like trying to Frankenstein convert. H932 has different RSA encryption than the other North American V30 variants.

Tmo gave me a site to use.. $60.. they should pay..
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Hope it works. There's a couple of instances where T-Mobile couldn't even SIM card unlock their own V30, even when they wanted to. The phone was SIM card unlocked on Nougat, by T-MOBILE, after customers paid off the phones. Then when the Oreo update was released and installed by the owners, it SIM card locked back. Even T-MOBILE tech support couldn't get it unlocked again. I lost track of what happened after that.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Exactly what commands are needed?

Remember, LG removed all the useful fastboot flash commands from the T-Mobile H932. So, curious if they left whatever commands you would need for this.

This is the part where things get interesting.. it's the modem unlock files for tmo v20 which should be the same.. towards the end they explain that it's generic and is what the tmo app changes to unlock the sim.. https://xdaforums.com/v20/how-to/discussion-t-mobile-sim-unlock-t3821051/page2..

This is more a runningnak3d question... So I will defer to him.

That thread was actually started by him, and he's the T-Mobile expert, also.

Dude, I wanna smack me in the face so hard right now. LMAO

I literally just got my phone a while ago and my dumb a$$ took the update right out of the box before even checking on XDA if there was root for Oreo or not. Now, I'm beating myself everyday.

---------- Post added at 08:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 AM ----------

Does that mean you're gonna make it a little easier for us oreoians (not a word I know lol)? Dude, you're a f$#* hero. Thank you for the work you do.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gamesoul Master:
No worries dude, check the new thread for this, running figured it out now, so Oreo people can simply do a (relatively) easy downgrade before starting the process :)

Edit: Nevermind, I see you posted in there already... lol.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
While I appreciate the thanks, no, it is not going to get any easier. The procedure as it is posted now is as easy as it is going to get, and is good for any version up to 20k.

If they increment ARB in 20L or 20M, this process goes out the Window, and anyone who hasn't rooted by then may never get root. KEEPING root is easy, getting root is hard.

So, my advice, if you want to root your phone, either do it now, or don't ever take an update past 20k until you do.

-- Brian
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Lol. I did. Just not too familiar with LG way of rooting and files flashing and such. I'll wait until I read and practice more to get it down.

---------- Post added at 08:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 AM ----------

Thanks, man. I'll just sit here and learn more about this LG new world before I do anything to my only device. Or wait for someone to, hopefully, throw a video for us on how to do it. Uh__ and I'll never make that mistake again and take a new update. Not even the security ones lol. Just donated a little as an appreciation btw ?.. it isn't much but just as a thank you for your hard work.

For those of you who are subscribed to updates on this thread, but not Brian's dedicated h932 root thread, thanks to a user being a little crazy, while recording her phone running through the procedure, the process is apparently not as dangerous as previously thought!

I'm stuck here... Can't seem to get it.

On the last command it says 100% real quick. Then I've tried all variations of holding down the vol down plus power.

My luck ran out. This is why I said don't follow my crazy lead. LOL

Guess I'll see what happens tomorrow but I'm over it tonight.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Last few lgs have been really irritating to get into recovery. Just to clarify, you've been power off, hold down vol down+powrr, when LG appears , release power for one second then press and hold power again while still holding vol down?

Are you bootlooped?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Septembersrain:
It's more like TWRP is just not making it onto my phone. It'll go to 100% only at the POFF. From what I read, the progress bar shouldn't move that fast on my phone. Unpacking should take a little bit. So I'm having issues with either not keeping an internet connection or something.

There were two versions of FWUL if I remember correctly, does one not work as well as the other?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
My progress bar went to 100 pct immediately too so that's normal I guess then pulled the cord and its time to do the key combo. I remember it restarting like 3 times before it finally booted into TWRP after going through the LG garbage reset options

The fwul options don't really differ much. The only difference is the persistent one saves your work

Do me a favor and boot into recovery if you go back to the OS. Adb reboot recovery and see if the dead Android comes up? If not then stock recovery is toast for some reason but unlikely
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Septembersrain:
Vol - plus power only shows me this:

Is there another way into recovery?

Sorry, out of date with tech stuff. Which version of ADB should I be using on Windows 10? When I try to open it, the window just closes. Bah.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Minimal adb and fastboot is the best one for what we use it for imo

---------- Post added at 11:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 AM ----------

Don't forget that if you hold vol down and power it's also a hard reboot after 7 seconds or so if it's restarting that's why ... I did that before I realized it

When I tried to open adb, like you say text scrolls down quickly then window closes. What I do is open the folder I have adb.exe in (keep a folder of tools on desktop), hold down shift+right click then choose open command prompt here (I'm actually using powershell, but it works the same). When you get your command line window open, then type adb devices and it should return your device showing you have a connection.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] stanleyopar2000:
Yes. the s8 was rooted already. The basterds pulled the fastboot codes. They did the same thing on the g6 and that still hasn't been rooted yet either.

LG V30 Plus DEMO version

I have a interesting situation. Recently I got a LG V30 Plus from T-Mobile. Unpacked the phone and set it up. Everything appeared to work as expected. However trying to get the fingerprint scanner to work seems impossible because there is nothing in settings to set it up. In settings under the General Tab, there should be a fingerprints and security tab. My phone only shows security and is missing the fingerprint settings. I spoke with T-Mobile tech support who put me in touch with LG tech support. It turns out I was given a DEMO version of the phone, even though LG says it is a international version. The reason I say it is a DEMO version is because it makes sense to remove the fingerprint feature so on one can come along and lock the phone. My point is, or shall I say my question is, is it possible that my phone does not have all the security as the standard phones, therefore making it possible to gain root? Is there a way I can test my phone to see if I can gain root. I have rooted phones in the past, just curious if my phone can be a way to gain root for the DEV. Looking forward to some responses.

ADB commands aren't missing from our V30 retail models. What's missing is the Fastboot commands.
