Thank you ChazzMatt.

I donno you remember, but I am stuck with "your phone is not registered yet" on OTA.

I will update with this file. :)

edit:

This works on my US Cellular US998!

I used uppercut 1.0 with LGUP 1.14, upgrade selection.

Now I am on 10c now.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
I updated the op to reflect that we know this firmware also works on U.S. Cellular US998, besides "open market" official carrier unlocked US998.

[MENTION=3683390]rhplusa10[/MENTION] below was one of the people to buy an LG "contest prize" U.S. Cellular US998, many of which were re-sold online by the winners.

Because these U.S. Cellular US998 phones were never actually "registered" in the U.S. Cellular inventory system somehow they cannot receive updates

. They fall into some kind of gray area. (Read that thread if you want to know more, that's not what's really being discussed here.)

The point is, he and others with those wonky US998 phones (or even regular US. Cellular US998 phones) can use this "open market" US998 firmware and future firmware posts to keep their phones updated.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] JWnSC:
I wonder if this would work on ls998... Can't find a Sprint kdz or tot file anywhere. I know it's a different model but the last numbers are the same. I do have a spare phone I can use if I brick this device.

I clicked one of the bands in the hidden menu for my V30+ US998 unlocked. If I flash this kdz file will the LTE/modem settings reset?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
If factory reset doesn't work, then flashing this probably won't. I don't know for sure. However, in that same hidden menu mode, I saw network reset choices. Not in the LTE bands section, but a neighboring section.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] bbot3k:
Could you direct me to the setting path? I'm not seeing anything that says network reset choices.

[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Moriatier:
Do I need lg up or lg flash tool to flash this KDZ? It seems that we need a DLL file extracted from the KDZ to flash it?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
[MENTION=5012130]padmanek[/MENTION], which one of the patched dlls you have would work for this? You also downloaded this US998 KDZ and extracted it already, right? If you can attach the needed dll, I'll edit the op post to include it.

I know the dll doesn't have to be patched -- but if one of the patched dlls work, to be that's better than "stock". ;) After all, I contributed $40 donations to get those patched dlls (and I know you did some of the work yourself). Might as well put them to use...

OR are the patched dlls different category from the dll needed for LGUP to flash this KDZ? It's been so long since I messed with LG phones, except for occasionally rooting/installing TWRP on G2 and G3 for friends. Maybe twice I had to flash back to earlier stock in order to root -- but most I could do right out of the box. Last three years I've been immersed in Motorola phones and their bootloader quirks, etc.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] padmanek:
To simply flash the .kdz you can use LG UP + Uppercut method (the most simple way), no need to mess with any .dlls.

If you don't want to use Uppercut (why not?) you can use the .dll I extracted from the KDZ. I attached it to this post. It's clean, unpatched. It needs to be placed inside \LG Electronics\LGUP\model\common folder. You will have to create common folder. It's not there by default. Basic LGUP looks like this:

If you want to have the developer LG UP version (overkill for just flashing a KDZ ) then you need both patched .dll and patched LGUP.exe. Attached a .zip that simply has to be unpacked in the LGUP folder and it will work right away. Dev LG UP looks like this:

All you really need is the UPGRADE function :)

.DLL for all the variants I've found firmwares on XDA was the same.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:

Thanks for all your work. I just tried this out and I get this error.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
Which of the three options are you trying to use? The first option doesn't even involve a dll, but I'm asking to make sure. The other two options require dll to be placed in specific folder or the entire zipped file to be unpacked inside a folder.

I'm using the 2nd option and not the developer one.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
and you created the "common" folder for the dll?

Because before I even posted instructions, someone with a messed up U.S.Cellular model (a few of which for some reason can't receive updates) flashed this KDZ on his phone, so I know it works. ;)

[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] padmanek:
Paste that LGUP_common.dll here http://onlinemd5.com/ and check the MD5.

The unpatched DLL for the basic LG UP has MD5: 75A25C82BAA4EB7ADF4D6E27D0678D62

The patched DLL for the developer LG UP has MD5: AAD5DDEE660C576D3951E14D0E616AF4

Looking at the last modified timestamp from your screenshot I can see you're using the patched .dll for the developer LG UP.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] rhplusa10:
I have used his KDZ without any dll file.

I just used Uppercut.

https://xdaforums.com/lg-g5/development/uppercut-lgup-loader-g5-variants-t3511295

This works on V30 as well.

Here is the procedure what I did,

1) install LG driver so that make sure ADB can see the phone.

2) install LGUP 1.14 from the link.

3) install Uppercut 1.0 from the link.

4) run Uppercut, it will run LGUP by itself. then just conenct the phone and see the phone is shown on LGUP.

5) choose "upgrade" and choose the KDZ file.

6) click start. It will make the phone reboot into recovery, update phone, and then reboot again. all automatic.

WE NOW HAVE ANOTHER UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER WITH FULL FLASH COMMANDS -- US998U

So they did listen to all my tweets! :cool:

HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN ACTIVE AND WE DIDN'T KNOW? Did they basically wait six weeks after the V30 was released and didn't announce it?

LET THE GAMES BEGIN.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] AliLaPointe:
I wonder if flashing this on my US Cellular version will open up the bootloader unlock for me. I tried the exploit, but it won't go through. Does flashing this change the Device ID? Thoughts?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
No, because it wouldn't change your IMEI or DEVICE-ID.

It is safe for you to flash, but it won't turn it into "open market" LG US998.

I went through it thanks but this didn't answer my first question. Does flashing restore the recovery partition to stock recovery.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
Probably, since it's full stock. On Motorola phones there's a way to keep custom recovery, by omitting a certain command, but I don't know the equivalent on LG phones.

You can always reflash TWRP afterwards.

Since you have TWRP, have you tried this custom ROM?

It's based on this firmware, with lots of audio tweaks, like always-on HIM and Viper.

I also have the sprint virant for v30+ but can't access bootloader can you?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
No you can't cross flash variant models -- like Sprint LS998 and the US998. The open market US998 and the U.S. Cellular US998 are the "same" model -- so both can use this KDZ -- but the open market US998 is eligible for bootloader unlock through IMEI range, whereas the U.S. Cellular US998 is not eligible for bootloader unlock.

Sprint phones are very locked down.

Hey, just dropping by to thank you for this firmware.

I've bought an unopened "Bad ESN" US998 v30 from US Cellular off ebay to use outside the US (we discussed this in another thread), it works perfectly, but couldn't get updates - I get the "Phone is not yet registered" error and I'm non sure if there's a way to fix it. But with this firmware I was able to update!

Is this the latest firmware available for the US998 model btw? Also, I really don't care about getting monthly security updates, but really hope when Oreo hits for our model, you can post a full firmware too so those of us who can't update via OTA can get it.

Thanks, I see. Not that I care too much as I said, but still pretty sad that we're still on the decemeber security patch when it's march, but I guess it's to be expected with LG. Hopefully Oreo is not too far away since some other US models already got it.

This 10C is the most current right now for all US9988. According to persistent rumor, Oreo is supposed to be coming in March and we're halfway through March. When it comes, I'll post it, unless someone beats me to it.

(LG Canada has already said their H933 Oreo update may slip to first part of April. That shouldn't affect US998 but March is not set in stone.)

PLEASE HELP!!!

i used the .kdz to restore my phone back to stock but now i cant flash TWRP

I had my bootloader unlocked but now fastboot flash recovery command doesnt seem to work.

when i reboot into bootloader it says please enable oem unlock in settings but when i go to developer settings it is grayed out and says you bootloader is already unlocked.

Not sure what is going on but i really want TWRP back

Someone please help :crying:

[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Hamstervil:
SOLVED:

as i read in other post. Flashing a .KDZ on a unlocked bootloader messes things up.

What i did to solve:

Went into fastboot mode 'adb reboot bootloader'

relocked the bootloader 'fastboot oem lock'

rebooted to OS and skipped all configuration.

Activated developer mode

re enabled OEM unlock (it was grayed out before but now it could be switched since i relocked bootloader)

Went into bootloader mode again

Flashed my unlock.bin again 'fastboot flash unlock.bin'

rebooted into OS and skipped configuration

Activated developer mode and usb debuggin (OEM unlock is now grayed out but in ON position)

Entered fastboot mode once again and flashed TWRP img

manually entered in recovery mode (combo buttons vol+power until logo and then hold power)

Now i have fully stock ROM and TWRP

*important* it is highly recommended to use the original cable to do the flashing. (had problems with other cables until tried the original one)

Hope this help anyone else in the future

Yes, it's easy to flash US998 or VS996 stock ROM on LS998 now, but not easy to enable the network in service/engineering mode: ##7764726998, because the service code is unknown.

1. dial ##7764726998

2. Service code =?

3. W2BI-TEST SETTING = W2BI TEST SETTING ENABLW

4. enable Port check Test

5. exit service mode, connect the phone to PC, and select USB File transfer

6. install QPST and launch QPST configuration

7. click Ports, add new ports, uncheck it and select the unknown port, click OK

8. click Start Client, select EFS Explorer and click OK
