Weird... I have two separate backup, one is 48mb and the other is 1.7 GB and on either file the only thing that shows up is the alarms settings on both files

Scratch that..using 7zip , you have to right click, select open archive the second option, then select # or #e

I found a way to switch on/off 9025 mode at will. Is this useful for anything?

Device manager in my windows machine shows Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 9025 (com 16)

Turn it off and it goes back to LG drivers. Wondering if it's useful in any way. I can't find much info on it

[MENTION=5070414]Josh McGrath[/MENTION] I have never heard of 9025. None of the leaked documents that I have reference a 9025 mode. Granted, they are all from older versions of the SnapDragon.

When your phone is recognized as 9025 -- what is on the phone screen? Are you in download mode, recovery, booted into Android, or is it just powered off?

Flashfire is an app developed by Chainfire. It allows rooted devices to flash zips (and backup their device) from within the OS, and is especially handy when you have a locked bootloader or are otherwise unable to get TWRP running.

I just returned my Samsung Galaxy Note8 becuase of Samsung's DAM Boot Loaders and i just came home with 1 of 2 options, either an LG V30 or

LG G6. I picked the V30. After i installed the drivers cmd adb reboot bootloader and then i ran good old cmd fastboot oem unlock and that was it. The EASIEST BootLoader i have ever unlocked. Now i guess onto ROOT and see what else is available for the LG V30...

Yea, T-Mobile... Was the boot loader supposed to be that easy on Unlocking? I've owned over 60 Android Devices, this would be my first LG, so i a little new on the LG way of doing things...
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
There's a reason why it was so easy. LG stripped of most of the flash commands for the T-Mobile variant. Like having the "keys to the car", but then you find the car has been taken to the junk yard and melted down. Bootloader unlock on the T-Mobile H932 doesn't really do anything (yet). People are still working on it, and dev magic may happen. In helping how I can by supplying files from my rooted LG V30 US998.

The V30/V30+ with flash commands available need bootloader unlock code from LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list website. H930/H930G/open market US998.

There's ROMs for those down in the development section.

Just to point out we havent achieved root and fastboot commands are stripped besides oem unlock, oem lock and flashall

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] HACK3DANDR0ID:
But i am getting the Warning before the splash screen about the boot loader being unlocked before every boot...That doesnt make a difference?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Try flashing SuperSu or Magisk or TWRP custom recovery. You won't be able to.

I don't want to call it fake bootloader unlock, but it's fake bootloader unlock. (Semi-fake bootloader unlock?) It's not the bootloader unlock with flash commands available you are thinking of.

Go read the posts on page 1. That really explains it all. There's still stuff being tried, but the situation on page 1 is still the situation.

This is a great phone at the $400-$450 range.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
It shows 800 on the website. Did they lower the price? The new v30 comes out very soon too.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
It's a great phone in the $800 price range, too.

Remember, this is not a crappy OnePlus. It's actually a premium phone -- has QHD 1440p, Qi wireless charging, quad DAC, IP68, and much more. It's actually the best phone of 2017 or possibly tied with Samsung Note 8. I like it better than the Note 8, due to size. So, Note 8 is close #2.

I would put Pixel 2 XL at #3. Same LG display -- but no Qi wireless charging, no quad DAC. IP67, which is not bad and does have stereo speakers, but still #3.

So the LG V30, is a great phone even at $800.

No -- unless I'm misunderstanding, and he provides no context -- so we have to assume he's obviously wishing it was priced like OnePlus or some other pretender phone where they leave out half the specs. OnePlus is not the competition for this phone -- Note 8, Pixel 2 XL, iPhone 8 is.

Yet, in his other comments he seems to like this phone, so maybe he's really bragging on the BOGO deal he got from T-mobile.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
You can find some on Swappa listed in good condition for about $425. Personally, I didn't think the V30 was worth the $800 price tag in 2017. The V30+ however was closer to being worth the $850 from T-Mobile but I feel it was still $100 too pricey. It is 2018 now though and the V30 isn't worth the prices currently being sold at new. The V30 new on Swappa goes for about $550, which I feel is $50 too much. The V30+ goes for $620 on Swappa, which is about $20 more than I think it is worth if buying today.

If the LG V30 and V30+ had been released in September instead of November, then they would have been worth their retail prices up until December. This is my biggest gripe with LG! You can't put your phone out practically after everything else comes out and expect it to sell at prices comparable to more popular brands! LG seems to have the same problem I believe Sony has suffered from for about the past 20 years. They think their brand is the best of the best when that actually doesn't come close. They both make fair products that could definitely be better, but they also would sell better if their releases had better timing and a cheaper price.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
I'm not clear how V30 new is being sold for $550. Unless it's something like inferior Sprint, certainly not open market LG US998?

Your description of LG phones would certainly apply 2014-2016, especially comparing to Sony's arrogant demeanor thinking they can demand top price. Especially the laughable LG G5 and it's silly mods.

I think starting with the LG G6 (but regionalized specs was idiotic mistake, as was using 2016 Snapdragon), and now with the V39/V30+ LG has indeed joined the ranks of top tier premium phones.

That's not your total price? Can you sell your phone right now for that price and walk away, or is it on contract?

Looks like the open market US998 is going for $620+, and TMO one starts at $420 on Swappa. I did not check condition of them. If LG could get a grip on their software a little better, I'd still have my V30.

Depending on the BOGO deal, that may be how he got the phone for $300. My mom wanted a new phone to replace her Galaxy S6, so for Christmas I got her the S8. TMO had a BOGO deal then, so I picked up a second, added a line, and just last week got my $750 debit card for the cost. Immediately paid the phone off, went through SIM unlock about 20 minutes later, and now I'm getting ready to sell a minty fresh S8, putting the sold cost towards her phone.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] brossovitch:
Yep. On contract. My total cost for my V30 was $300. I can sell it for $300 and lose literally nothing except the cost of the skin and screen protector, prolly the case too..

My other V30, i technically pay full price. However I'm going to only pay $400 total for it. And I have a friend using my half price line and paying me $50 per month while his line costs $17 so I'm not actually paying for the other v30.

Then when I have paid half the cost of it I'm upgrading to another, significantly cheaper device that I can pay in full on the spot.

Basically, I'm renting this V30 and kinda abusing it and seeing what it handles while my paid off, unlocked v30 is in it's box unused.

I put a grand total of device cost to me at $300. Which is funny because i did this with my G6. BoGo so i basically paid $250 for my G6 because i only paid half of one then upgraded for the v30.. haha

---------- Post added at 04:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 PM ----------

My grand total this year on phones is $550 for a G6, V30, two MiniBeam Projectors, two sets of B&O earbuds, & 2 Google Daydream veiewers.

Sold a Daydream for $75 and sold a projector for $200.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Very inventive, I must say.

I paid $650 average for two V30 and one V30+, all open market LG US998. Thanks to $400 gift card and a friend selling me her spare. US998 V30 at gift card price.

I'm on AT&T Prepaid for less than $30 total price (each) for two accounts, with no contract and same high speeds and low pings as contract customers.

If I had known LG wasn't going to add the V30+ to the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list website (or at least hasn't as of now), I wouldn't have bought the US998 V30+. My 3rd (spare for me and wife) would have been just another V30.

Surely that's $30 per line, right? Does that include taxes? What are the allotments on those lines?

I have to use AT&T network for coverage in our home (or even better Sprint, but H932 doesn't support that) and I would consider AT&T prepaid if they were competitive. Being a light user, my V30+ is on RedPocket GSMA ($10 + tax for 500min/500txt/500MB or $15 for 1000min/1000txt/1GB) while my wife's V30 is on H2O ($18 incl tax for unlimited/unlimited/1GB). I'd be willing to pay more for higher data allotments, but not double. Network priority has not been a problem for me in recent years.

This is OT, you can PM me if you want.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
$58.50 for the two lines, total. So, less than $30 each.

6GB high speed data for me ($45, unlimited calls and texts) and

1 GB high speed data ($35/unlimited calls and texts) allotment. My wife is a light user, so she doesn't miss not having 6GB. If you run out of data, they never actually cut you off, just slow you down. Also, you can buy extra high speed GB if you want.

Unused data rolls over for next 30 days.

I purchase through a 3rd party online retailer autopay, been using them for several years. They give you 10% discount over purchase price with no taxes. Plus, I use AT&T Prepaid auto pay, even though I don't actually use AT&T to autopay. AT&T still gives you the $5 per account discount, if you sign up for autopay. But since they take from your "account balance" first, I make sure my OTHER autopay (online discount company) deposits the funds into my account two days prior to when monthly bill is due.

I can't detail it all here, but having two lines ($5 discount), autopay ($10 discount), another autopay, (10% discount), gets me down to that.

$45 +$35 = $80 - $5- $10 = $65 - $6.50 (10% discount) = $58.50. No taxes, no fees when paying through that online discount service. AT&T expects "$65" every 30 days, and when I pay $58.50 to that online discount service, my AT&T account is credited $65.

It's like when you go buy a $45 "refill" card from Wal-mart or some convenience store. Wal-mart doesn't give AT&T the whole $45. But AT&T still credit you for $45... This online retailer just takes less profit than Wal-mart or some convenience store. If you sign up for their autopay, they give you a 10% discount off the purchase price.

Well I just got the phone a few days ago. Really should have looked more intently before I bought. But I have begun digging through their LG Apps and what not to see if I can find a way to get root going that way. I think I might have found one app that might do it, but will have to really test it to see if it will work, but its a little promising.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] lightninbug:

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ClockworkImpulse:
I think it could be the LG SmartWorld, it looks like it verifies everything it installs, but there's no verification process happening right at the beginning. Could sneak some Java code in there and install something that way. Or create a new overloaded install method to sneak around verification. Could be a possible exploit.

But don't hold me to it. Still looking around. They didn't do a good job at writing their apps, pretty messy code wise, and SmartWorld has around 11k methods to look at so its a lot of documentation so attempt to make.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
That is kinda the way Jcase exploited LG backup a few years ago. Something about a 50mb file that gave enough time to inject a kernel modification. I think it was the g3 or g4.

He also said many times that LG is sloppy and patches we're "BAD" (uppercase letters) ?

Also, he had pointed out to someone (instead of being an ass to someone wanting learn like most) that the stage fright patch was poorly written, so you might take a look at that as well
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Here you go. Files you asked for, made with my rooted open market US998 LG V30. SuperSu, Flash Fire, and I gave Magisk Manager root privileges with SuperSU.

Sorry it took a few days.

This LG Backup doesn't save my IMEI or anything like that does it?

Originally I was rooted with Magisk, but it wasn't showing up in the list of apps to be backed up -- only Magisk Manager (which I didn't think was quite the same thing, but you would know that better than me). So, I booted into TWRP, and flashed SuperSu. Rebooted, gave Flash Fire root with SuperSu. Magisk Manager which was still installed also asked for SuperSu root -- which I first denied. Then, I decided what the heck. I went back said yes.

Then made LG Backup and ONLY backed up SuperSu, Flash Fire and Magisk Manager.

It was an .LBF file extension. So, zipped it so I could upload here to XDA. Just extract the .LBF. About 15MB.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] brossovitch:
It doesn't do imei or any personal information as long as you don't backup personal stuff like contacts or settings.

Even when restoring backups of apps, it will only restore the data and the APK. Sometimes not even restore the full data (app preferences and such)

It definitely won't do anything highly beneficial for root since LG backup (switch) won't write to the system partition only the writeable data partition. And since magisk & SuperSU require a few files in the system partition (I think) as well as a modified kernel it unfortunately won't do anything to help with rooting. I really hope I'm wrong though.

Thanks for keeping up with the h932 and helping any way you can!
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
I haven't had much time to mess with it yet, but I did find out it won't even install superSU but will install magisk.

Thanks [MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION] for the file and help
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
The "magisk" on that file is Magisk Manager which works with Magisk, if I understand correctly. I believe it will install without root but needs root then to work. When I first attempted to backup and I was using Magisk for root, only Magisk Manager showed up. So, I re-rooted with SuperSu in TWRP, and that way I knew I could get SuperSu backed up along with Flash Fire. I also gave Magisk Manager root since it kept asking for it, but it's rooted with SuperSu. I still think it's a companion to actual Magisk, however.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
Thanks, Chazz! I was hoping you would also try a SuperSU backup. The different ways they enable root might make a difference.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
