hi there

i'll try to help you :)

as far as I know by reading in this forum, there is 3 bootscreen

1st bootscreen cannot be change without flashing, read here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=370023

but 2nd and 3rd can be change without flashing, all you have to do is overwrite the "BootScr.bmp" file(for the 2nd bootscreen) and the "welcomehead.96.png" file (for the 3rd bootscreen) in /windows folder

however,

for the 2nd bootscreen must be 240 X 320 and 230,454 bytes in size

and for the 3rd bootscreen is 240 x 320 (size doesn't matter)

hope this help

@PiaL

Hey there Sor, thank you so much for replying.

Will post picture of it here on this thread soon as i get hold of a camera.

Thanks again Sir.

As the title says, are there any ROMs for the G950F without TouchWiz?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BigBen60:
Hi !

There is Lineage OS 14.1 and RR (based on LOS 14.1).

It's available on XDA

But ROMs still under development

There is a stable Google Edition Oreo rom for the s8 g950fd

I wasted about $30 in several screen protectors because after I placed them, I found out they were not aligning perfectly. After taking them off & getting finger prints under them, creases or dust etc... they were ruined.

Is there any screen protector that use liquid spray on the screen before placing the actual screen protector on, so you can then re-position it & align it without taking the entire thing off?

I know I seen a few over the years, but all the ones I'm searching on Amazon & eBay are the ones without.

Also any recommendations for clear screen protectors that have the best fingerprint/smudge resistants? I hate wiping my screen everytime I use it & all the advertised anti-smudge screen protectors I used don't do a good job.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] Tinderbox (UK):
I wasted lots of money on screen protectors over the years and bought quite expensive ones, But i can never fit them perfect, and if i find one bit of dust, you can sometime remove the dust for a bit of sticky tape, if it`s glass forget it, I had one crack in half trying to lift the edge, So now i buy as cheap as possible, get a 6 pack and keep binning the failures till you get it perfect.

You can get screen protectors from ZAGG, you spray the screen protector and apply it to your screen, but it does not fix till the water dries so you have ages to adjust it to perfection.

EDIT: It`s years since i bought my last ZAGG, but they seemed a bit draggy on my finger, maybe they improved, read the reviews.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] chronik99:
- Broke the Nexus 7 2013 touchscreen last year. Bought a new touchscreen.

- Replaced the screen following Fixez.com videos on youtube.

- Put the tablet inside an extra casing to protect it from any further accidents.

- Top portion of the touchscreen went unresponsive after couple of months. (Went pretty useless since I was not able to access notification bar)

- Didn't bother to use it for almost 6-9 months

- Found the tablet working last week. Started using it again. Top portion went unresponsive again.

- Removed the cased and opened it up to see back cover has melted slightly. Opened the back cover.

It looks like when I repaired the tablet I stuck the tape on the ribbon cable, there was some air gap in between the cable and the tape. The air got heated up, which caused the adhesive to burn, which caused the tape to burn, which burnt the back cover.

TWRP for US998 (not US-Cellular)

I have simply used existing sources from [MENTION=5672995]jcadduono[/MENTION] so thanks to him for the h930 version that simply works on our US998 devices.

All i have done here is changed props to read us998 instead of h930, so asserts should work and labeling on a pc will be correct etc. I don't intend to maintain or build any other versions.

The purpose of this modified twrp and this thread is to provide less confusion for new users of the US998 and for what version of twrp to flash, as the h930 thread appears to be abandoned.

Flashing instructions

1. Unlock your bootloader

2. Fastboot flash the twrp img onto your device - (fastboot flash recovery twrp_us998.img)

Don't let the device boot into system or you will need to fastboot flash again, you need to do the button combo to get into recovery quickly before it automatically boots.

3. Flash a root method or a dm-verity disabler zip.

4. You will probably need to format your data partition before it will boot into system. Because of encryption.

DOWNLOAD - twrp_us998.img

This is built using [MENTION=5672995]jcadduono[/MENTION] sources from the H930 version of TWRP found here

Kernel - https://github.com/jcadduono/android_kernel_lge_msm8998/commits/twrp-7.1 and

PayPal donation made for US998 TWRP and the WETA ROM. Thank you.

Question: just like the H930 TWRP worked for bootloader unlocked US998 V30, would this TWRP also work for bootloader unlocked H930/H930G or ANY OTHER LG V30/V30+ variants if they ever got bootloader unlock and full flash commands?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Mentalmuso:
This uses the same sources as h930 so will work for both, though is simply set up for us998. I didn't change anything except device fingerprints

[emoji450]--->
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
OK, just asking for future. Especially if you update this TWRP and the other one is never updated... Or if another LG V30/V30+ variant gets bootloader unlock and full flash commands through exploit.

I remember when Sunshine team unlocked the bootloader to Droid Turbo XT1254 in November 2015, one of the Motorola Quark variants. One of the Sunshine devs asked "Who can quickly build me a TWRP to work with this?" NO NEED. Quark already had OFFICIAL TWRP! And yes, it worked just fine on the Droid Turbo. Problem was, the XDA mods had split the Quark forums just two months prior (due to locked down Droid Turbo owner complaints; they were tired of seeing custom ROMs, kernels, etc.) -- so all the dev work for the OTHER bootloader unlocked Quarks (XT1225, XT1250) had disappeared, moved to a different location. Very ironic. To this day, Droid Turbo owners mostly have to go over to the Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo forum to get custom ROMs which are fully compatible with their phones. It's just all the dev work is posted over there, because they didn't want to see any dev work -- until their bootloader got unlocked, of course. :p

So, I'm glad all the LG V30/V30+ are together.

Hey Sorry about this but not to be a real dummy but can you tell me/us I know we are still in fastboot mood can you tell us what the button combo is to get back into recovery because I'm not real sure about it
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Mentalmuso:
Oh yeah, simply holding power and volume down simultaneously, as soon as you see the LG logo, let go of power button for a brief moment and re-press it until you see twrp boot up.

Just did a system backup but failed. chose External Sdcard since it could not mount internal memory. It ran well when backuping system but when the process of creating system image lasted For some time, the mission was automatically aborted. could not figure out why.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Mentalmuso:
I've been doing backups to internal since day one. Never tried an external card backup. I can't help much as i simply used the source code from the h930 twrp, and never intended to fix or update anything. It was a confusion eliminating build so us998 users knew what to flash
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] VR32:
so is there any reason i should update this over the h930 version?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Mentalmuso:
Nope. Not unless you want your PC to say us998 instead of h930 when plugged in in recovery mode.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] SGCMarkus:
You cant mount your internal memory because its encrypted with LGs own encryption, and TWRP cant decrypt that.

Solution would be: format internal data, flash the no-verity-opt-encrpyt zip (other twrp thread has a link), and start from new

And the system image backup isnt really needed, except you want to flash it via fastboot (i leave that out always)

Hi,

Looking for some help getting twrp running. Bootloader is confirmed unlocked.

After the fastboot flash command, it successfully writes twrp.

Then i hold power and volume down, when i see the LG logo, i briefly let up on power and hold it again.

Then instead of seeing twrp, I see the "factory data reset" screen (and the choices are no or yes)

Then it doesn't seem to matter what i choose, I cannot seem to make it into twrp.

can anyone see what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Moriatier:
you should have chosen yes
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] glhelinski:
Thanks for the help!! I seem to have another issue. I got past the issue above, then twrp asked for a password/pin (which i removed before I started this whole thing.)

In twrp, i flashed magisk 16, the dm-verity zip and rctd disabler. Now when I reboot, it looks like android is starting but it tells me "Encryption unsuccessful. The password you entered is corrupt but unfortunately your data is corrupt. To resume using your phone, you need to perform a factory reset. When you set up your phone after the reset, you'll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to your Google account"

And there is a "Reset Phone" button....which I click but it just goes back to TWRP and now i'm stuck.

This may not be the correct place to post for help but can anyone help please?

Thanks
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
In TWRP you need to reformat your partition, not just "wipe". See point #7. Even though they say "wipe", they also admit it's reformat data. And then you have all the stuff you need on your microSD card and can pull from that. (Very important!)

Is there any way to get into TWRP from a powered off state without doing a factory reset?

I've already done that, wiped data, and installed the H930 Oreo rom, but I'd like to make sure I have a way to get into TWRP besides using adb from a running phone (like from a failed flash). Just as a failsafe.

I tried the volume down+power then release & repress power on LG logo, but it first goes to Factory Reset.

Edit:I'll note I have US998 (carrier unlocked).
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Mentalmuso:
You need to press yes to factory reset, then press yes to whatever the next thing is. Then it boots into twrp, it won't wipe anything.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dj13241:
I can confirm nothing is deleted. Ran a full backup from the OS first just to be safe. I rebooted into recovery, clicked yes twice (confirming factory reset), then was in TWRP. Rebooted back to system, and no data was lost.

This is for Nougat only. You need the Joan (for ALL V30 variants) Oreo-compatible TWRP IF IF IF you can unlock your bootloader. ;)

The Oreo compatible one also works with Nougat and is newer build.

THIS is what you want, IF you can unlock the bootloader:

Yes, it is alway best to flash all files, but if you don't mind loosing your data, you can flash CSC_* package in place of CSC, to also repartition your phone and start fresh. But if you want to keep your data, you can flash the HOME_CSC_* package instead.

Too many times I have seen the obsession with the latest leave older devices stranded on an abandoned, under-developed and buggy platform.

So to all the devs still improving and keeping Nougat users up to date, I say a big thankyou!!!!
