Could you please answer, i want to flash twrp only for install magisk (i don't want to backup encrypted \data or make operations with it), but i want that lg's encryption working, i.e. i want to have magisk with encrypted phone, is it possible?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
Yes. See post 238 and 239. Do NOT flash that file and you'll still have LG encryption. I helped someone get rid of that encryption...

One more question, may be anyone know or already try, is it possible to unlock h930 Hong-Kong region or it's not supported on lg developer website?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
There's not an Hong Kong H930 that I know of. There is H930-DS. IF that's what you're asking about, the answer is no.

But even if there is such a model, none of the Asian variants are on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list. Sorry.

H930G is on the list, but only European H930G, not the H930G from other regions. It's apparently filtered by IMEI range.

Only open market LG US998 V30, European H930 and H930G currently have bootloader unlock through the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock website, with full fastboot flash commands.

Just go the notification to update to Oreo.

I'm running stock rom, but with TWRP and magisk.

Does anyone know if I have to revert to stock recovery before upgrading. If so, how do I go about it?

Thanks in advance.

If you upgrade through LGUP + uppercut you lost TWRP and after upgrade to oreo, you have to flash new version of TWRP made by Marcus (https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/development/unofficial-twrp-3-2-1-t3779171)

I have doubts

Helo everyone,

I really wanted the new Oreo on my H930 but going all the way through this thread got me skeptical. I've already seen what a boot-loop looks like and i must say i do not prefer seeing one. I got the bootloop when i flashed 10f kdz to downgrade from 11m. (The erasing circle bootloop). I don't quite understand how i got out of it just pressed erase/reset phone upon repeated boots when it said encryption unsuccessful and connected back to LG UP, then clicked on LG UP where it said "Click here to finish" after completely flashing.

Ref. posts #60,61 #138 #148 and #160 I get the impression this testing TWRP isn't completely sorted out. Have tried it a couple of times but i get the bootloader-unlocked warning on YES/NO buttons and after i go YES the warning covers the buttons.. Phone boots to normal without stuff erased.

I wouldn't want to get a bootloop again not until i have a week to figure out how to bring my phone back to life if i get one.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
Well if you want OREO this is the wrong TWRP thread. This isn't the Oreo TWRP thread. This is the Nougat TWRP thread.

None of the bootloops mentioned in this thread have anything to do with Oreo, so not sure what your point is.

There's no bootloops mentioned in the Oreo TWRP thread.

Sent via open market LG US998 V30/V30+

Every post you mentioned is MONTHS ago. The latest one, #160 is January 10, barely into 2018. And here's the follow-up to #160, when the guy figured out what he had done wrong:

Post #164:

The FEW others you mention were all 2017. And in between tons of people being happy with success stories. Yeah in the beginning, new phone, not everyone knew what they were doing. Then people had to downgrade back to earlier Nougat firmware to flash TWRP. Maybe instructions weren't totally clear, the "button dance" isn't easy -- but there's been no such posts in over three months. So I think it's all figured out.

There's even a Nougat US998 TWRP cloned from this one, and there's been no bootloops I can remember in that thread.

And again, this is NOT the TWRP you would be using for Oreo. So, not sure why you're posting in the wrong thread.

This is the Oreo TWRP thread:

[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] hammad506:
ChazzMatt it's my understanding that i would need to backup stuff first then flash any other ROM. To backup on Nougat i'd need the Nougat TWRP. That's why i posted here to understand why it isn't working for me. (And a few others)
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
Well, you should be backing up stuff anyway in TWRP on a regular basis. That's one of the great features of TWRP. And re-reading your post, it seems you are already rooted and have this Nougat TWRP.

This guy flashed the NEW Oreo TWRP on while still having Nougat. Just an update:

[Unofficial][Joan] TWRP 3.2.1 [Oreo firmware]

So, now he can make a backup with "Oreo" TWRP.

It's also a NEWER version of TWRP (3.2.1 instead of 3.1.1), so you should update to it even if you plan to stay stuck on Nougat. ;) It just happens to be Oreo-compatible.

But if you do upgrade to Oreo...

The last TWRP backup you make before upgrading to Oreo, I would move a copy of that off the phone to a PC. You then have the TWRP backup somewhere safe and can move it back to the phone when booted back into TWRP. Then you can restore everything.

TWRP works perfectly on my H930, so far I've installed Magisk and Xposed Framework (non-Magisk variant) with all my favorite modules (including Blurred System UI that works surprisingly well on Nougat and XHFW3). It's a shame that I can't access the internal SD but an external one works just fine. Overall I don't have any bugs to report, everything works as expected so far, thank you.

He is taking about sim unlock not bootloader.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] boredz:
Hi guys ??

I'm having an issue, I boot into fastboot and boot into recovery with the following commands:

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot twrp-3.1.1-0-h930.img

It boots into TWRP (nice ☺), I tap cancel on the decrypt thing and proceed to mount /system and /external_sd.

Now, I want to copy a file from /external_sd to /system (eg. NotoColorEmoji.ttf), I open the built-in terminal and copy the file with:

cp /system/fonts/NotoColorEmoji.ttf /system/fonts/NotoColorEmoji.ttf.bak
cp /external_sd/NotoColorEmoji.ttf /system/fonts/NotoColorEmoji.ttf
chmod 644 /system/fonts/NotoColorEmoji.ttf

Now, the problem is that when I boot the device and go to /system/fonts with a file manager I only see one file, the original one, but there should be two files (a modified NotoColorEmoji.ttf and NotoColorEmoji.ttf.bak), if I boot into TWRP again and type:

ls -l /system/fonts/NotoColor*

I can see both files.

Why is that happening? Am I missing something? ?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] cultofluna:
I suppose you're rooted...?..
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] boredz:
Do I need to have root to edit system file with TWRP's built-in terminal? AFAIK it should have su access by default.

Anyway, TWRP's terminal doesn't report any error (eg. permissions, etc), so I think that it applies the changes, I see them (at least when I boot into recovery...), but those changes just aren't there when I boot the device.

I don't know if this is somehow related with this TWRP port, the V30 or I'm just dumb, so I'm sorry if it's a completely off topic post ?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Cameron581:
You cant access system from twrp
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] cultofluna:
You can access system from twrp....

But if you boot in your ROM , the file explorer needs root permissions to mount the system to edit files....

Very simple.

.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] boredz:
I don't want to edit the files when I boot the ROM, I've already edited them in TWRP, and afaik I can see /system (just open/copy the files) with a file explorer even if the device has no root access.

My problem is that the files I created/edited in TWRP are just not there after I boot the ROM, I can see them only in recovery mode (yes, even after I boot the ROM, they're not deleted). Basically, the Emojis are still the ones that come with Android 7.1.2 and not the ones in the newer file (and even if the file was unsupported or broken I should see no emojis at all, not the default ones).
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] iOR3K:
When you're in TWRP , you're looking at them with full privileges. When you boot into ROM, you no longer can see them since you don't have the right permissions. I'm not sure if you can edit the file's permissions through TWRP.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] CoalSvenson:
You can with the file browser in twrp via chmod as far as I remember
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] paour:
I think what you did was update your recovery's font. When in twrp, /system is not your rom's system partition; that's probably mounted elsewhere.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] boredz:
Well, that's weird, any documentation about this behaviour? I can find nothing ?

By any chance do you know where the rom's system partition is mounted? ?

Thank you for your reply ?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] paour:
I was mistaken, the system partition is indeed mounted at `/system` (as you can tell by the fact that `/system` is empty when you unmount the partition).

We told people what to buy back in early September to get guaranteed root... either the European or North America official carrier unlocked models.

Surprisingly LG has added a European LG V30+ to the list, which was sold by TIM carrier in Italy. I have no explanation for that, but guess they wanted European V30+ on the list too, which is good.

[MENTION=5672995]jcadduono[/MENTION] First of all, a big thanks to you and all the other developers who deliver an astonishing good work. As I tested flashing and installing I ran into an issue with the encryption. I followed your steps just as advised but in addition, I wiped the internal storage as well. After restarting from recovery it says “your passphrase(for safe start) is correct but unfortunately your data is corrupt thus the need for factory reset“ leading me to a restat. Now here is the thing : could it be related to the newest security-patch-update which I installed from november? Or might it be related to the internal-storage-wipe?

Edit: after flashing stock recovery , booting normally and reflashing twrp everything went fine....so sorry for bothering.

And again....great job! :D

H930 europe model here

I could use some help here, bootlooping now at LG logo, here's what I've done:

-unlocked bootloader

-flashed TWRP

-flashed Magisk 14.5 but experienced random reboots so had to uninstall it

-backed up boot partition

-flashed SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822 which lead me to a bootloop

Now, tried to flash UPDATE-unSU-signed.zip and restored boot partition from a backup but phone is still bootlooping.

Is there a way to fix that or flash stock h930 europe rom?

Been reading somewhere on the net that V30 needs LG Up 1.5 or LG Flash tool 2025 in order to be able to flash stock KDZ roms but those tools had not been released yet. Can a kdz file be converted to a twrp flashable zip file?

Maybe restored boot partition needs to be signed as per following zip signing tool?

I ran into a bootloop too, but my TWRP backup was corrupted (yay!) and Magisk Uninstaller didn't work (it failed at mounting some partition, I think it was /data, not sure tho).

I downloaded an official firmware, a KDZ file, for my model (H930, but the H930G SHOULD be the same file), extracted boot.img and flashed it with TWRP, the phone booted just fine, then I flashed Magisk again and it worked.

If you want to try (at your own risk) try flashing this boot.img file, it's the one I've extracted from "H93010v_00_OPEN_EU_OP_1120.kdz".

First time LG user and rooted successfully using this guide. worked pretty well except the noob hasty mistake to wipe system after setting up everything perfectly. i was too much used to the custom rom zip recovery flashing lol. flashed a system.img from the europe system dump from [MENTION=608699]wolfgart[/MENTION] (https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/development/stock-dump-lg-h930g-v30-europe-sw-t3710348) thanks for that. saved my live 4 am in the morning :D

few things i encountered with that:

rooted with magisk 14 works well. just cant get modules to stay installed whether installing from magisk manager or in twrp. i dont seem to get it. how do i do it from sd like stated before. it has something to do with encryption right? i flashed the decryption zip and it seemed to work, i think. get the slide for modification anyways when i boot to recovery.

the other thing:

i had an update when i got my phone. sadly i did not look which fw version it was. but it changed the navigation bar to gray to prevent burn in. the system.img from wolfgart seems to be an older fw cause the bar is black on all screens. in the link to lg-firmware in the second post of the mentioned thread shows two Firmwares. i guess i could just extract system.img from the kdz file and adb flash it as i did to save me last time. this should not tinker with all my other Partitions as far as i understand it.

does anybody know if the site lists all available Firmwares. there are just 2 and the second one is from 29.11 which i guess does not have the December security patches.

can anybody look if they have the gray statusbar background an tell me which fw version it is. then i will try an flash that system.img

sry for possible noob questions

edit: can anybody tell me about the FW naming scheme? i now have the V10m-EUR-XX FW. on the site its called: H93010v_00_OPEN_EU_OP_1120.kdz

Sweet, thanks for saving my ass, flashed boot.img and booted just fine. I'm pretty much sure that bootloader needs a signed boot.img to get the device boot at all.
