[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ikoyhn:
Not exactly, this is a root/rom combo. So it will downgrade you back to Nougat version 2 bootloader firmware, root your device, and flash a ROM all at the same time. So there is no way to flash a different ROM since the rooting process and ROM flashing is built into one step.

---------- Post added at 08:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 AM ----------

True, but if anyone is still lucky enough to be on version 2 bootloader on Oreo they still can downgrade to Nougat version 2 bootloader and use that Root/ROM combo to root their device since it works on ver. 2 bootloader but not 3. And yeah, screw Verizon!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] zakkyzombie:
Ahh. Makes sense. Basically flashing a modded factory image?

I want to but am wondering what happens to the secure folder?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ikoyhn:
Yeah its flashing an engineered firmware, and it trips knox which is needed for secure folder I think. I looked on my S8+ and couldn't find secure folder anywhere, so I'm guessing the ROM removes it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ikoyhn:
I get about 6Hrs screen on time
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Dayliter:
nougat so it kinda sounds like i should not take the oreo update if i want to root / mod my s8+is that true or not? Thanks (my 1st samsung from htc)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ikoyhn:
Yeah, I'd stay on Nougat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] TomNJ3256:
Man, I miss the days of flashing roms. Back on my note 3, i used to flash a new rom weekly and had a ball customizing things and seeing what new roms were comming out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] zakkyzombie:
Whatever happened to those days. S**t, the last few ROMs I was flashing on the N6 were all pretty much the same. I miss being pissed off that one rom had all the things I wanted but looked hideous. Then everything got CM based and themes were everywhere. Then it all just got the same. Then it all got locked down. Almost like Android and Google were playing the devs getting them to make the mods, then them steal them, and incorporate them, then lock it down.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] TomNJ3256:
yeah, by the time the N6 was out things were pretty bad. But back in the N3 days - they were good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] hunteditor:
I'm sorry for this basic question, but does the phone being carrier unlocked make any difference? I know that has nothing to do with the bootloader; I'm simply asking if the phone not being Verizon-specific has any effect on rootability ... I was just about to purchase an unlocked S8+ when I saw this thread and almost spewed Mountain Dew all over my monitor. I had no idea Verizon had squelched root, although no surprise there, right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] divineazn716:
if its unlocked and international version, and you use it on verizon, you can still root without any problems from verizon. only verizon variant there is that crappy problem
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ikoyhn:
Yeah there is root for all carrieres (verizon, tmobil, sprint, att) but its limited and the bootloader is still locked. I would still get a the international version, better root, more Roms, etc...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] hunteditor:
Unlocked vs International?

When you say international version, is that simply the carrier unlocked version? And do you know if there is a certain model number or letter designation after the model number I should be looking for? I'm shopping on Swappa and eBay and need to be really careful. Thank you for the help, by the way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ikoyhn:
Yes, the G955U is the US unlocked version with snapdragon and the G955F is the unlocked international version with exynos. You want the G955F if you want a "full" root and unlocked bootloader
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] hunteditor:
No G955F on Verizon, Correct?

Can't get the G955F if I'm on Verizon, though, can I? I think I read the G955F doesn't have the CDMA radios. I'd love to be wrong about that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ikoyhn:
It is possible but it would be very limited since its not ment be used either Verizon, in other words, its defining not worth the hassle of trying to get a g955f working on Verizon.

Hey everyone

Before I ask my question I wanted to give big props to XDA and all the contributers. This is my first post here so kind of an epic moment for me. :D No but seriously, we only live in a free world because of the vast array of software engineers that are not a part of the mainstream. Its the developers here that have kept the big companies on their toes and held them at bay from taking all our freedoms. It those here at XDA that has demanded transparency in the market. I have noticed this for years that without XDA and the enormous amount of talent, abilities and and execution of those talents those long days nights and weeks, even years to develop a new application, process or a work-aroundtk an existing one. Thanks guys. I wish I knew more about the actual coding aspect even though my life work is not coding. I woukd fair better to sit down with someone and have them show me. Or do it myself through reverse engineering. ??? But no seriously thank you everyone for your amazing work/Art that is helping connect our world in new ways but more importantly is helping us to retain our freedom and liberties that are being stripped from us every minute. Have a good day everyone. If you have tips or advice inbox me. Thanks. BB

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igor45:
Hi and thanks in advance for reading and for your assistance.

I inherited a G4 that was in working order until the previous owner decided to remove the onboard (probably RTC) battery from the mobo. ...thinking that this would reset the "bios" and clear the phone. But after research I'm thinking that this is likely just an RTC battery and NOT for the firmware, etc...

Problem is that whatever happened everything is cleared except the hardwired bootloader/download mode and LG logo screen.

I WILL look up threads for reflashing stock and repartitioning BUT my main question here is >>what does removing that battery do, specifically to this mobo<<

Any help is appreciated.

"Throw it away and get another one" is not acceptable, lol.

For me this is more of an exercise, and a learning experience since I'm not relying on this as a daily driver. Then I'll be able to present this as *repaired* to the person that borked it, and this process can be documented in order to help others in the same situation.

Thanks again.

Hey XDA,

I somehow 'bricked' my OP3. So there is no OS currently but I still have TWRP. I cannot transfer any files to it because when I try an error pops up on my PC saying the device isn't responding. The only other way I know of to transfer files to it is ADB Sideload but when I try that it gets stuck at the 'starting ADB sideload feature...'.

Any ideas or help please?!

Cheers
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] TNSMANI:
Is your phone recognised by the PC and does it respond to other adb commands?

Try eng.stk's (blu_spark) TWRP. If not successful, try the method 2 of the Mega Unbrick Guide here in XDA.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] SuhasTheBest:
Hi everyone,

A couple months ago I switched over to T-Mobile. I bought my V30 from AT&T and got it unlocked after switching to T-Mobile.

Apparently Android Oreo 8.0 is rolling out to AT&T V30s but when I check for updates no updates are available. Is there any way I can get my phone to update now that I'm on T-Mobile?

Thanks
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] poncespr:
If you can get your hands on an active att sim card, or from one of its MVNOs. That is how I updated my lg gpad. I put an h2o sim card and the next day the nougat update was already loaded. Other than that all I can think of is flashing the firmware.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] SuhasTheBest:
Thanks! I'll try my friend's ATT sim later today.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] jaysus145:
I had an AT&T sim in my LG-H931 (that is unlocked and has been running on T-Mo since I got it) for about an hour on Saturday with no luck. For what it is worth, I am still on the September security patch, so at the very least I would have expected to see an update to that right away.

I may be unhappily stuck on 7.1.2 unless someone else figures out a trick.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] jaysus145:
Any luck?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] joeyrushlow:
I'm in the same boat, a firmware file that we could flash though bridge would probably fix it, but I haven't found any firmware files for the H931 Oreo anywhere =/
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Jkho89:
Update?

Any update with this? I am on the same boat. I bought unlocked V30 from attached and use it with MetroPCS..

I bought ATT prepaid card hoping that it will prompt the update with no luck so far.

Considering flashing but like previous poster said , I could not find update file for H931 ATT oreo.

Switching from Apple btw and I wish I did it a long time ago, love it!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
There's long been an "update" with this. You convert the H931 to open market US998 and flash the latest KDZ. See the Frankenstein thread. I post latest US998 KDZ whenever they are released.

https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/how-to/using-lgup-crossflashing-t3780969

AT&T, along with Sprint, won't release KDZ and won't give updates to non-customers. So, best to convert phone to variant that receives public KDZ.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Jkho89:
Oh wow, that made total sense. Thank you for guiding me to the right post, I am really new with this.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Jkho89:
Sorry Chaz, I hope it is okay for me to post it here. I noticed your name on most LG V30 posts and I know you are probably the best person to ask. First of all I wanted to thank you for providing the instruction for the flashing. I really thought I bricked my phone for a couple times. Here is what I did:

1. Wrongfully ran the flashing not in donwload mode - was not able to turn on the phone.

2. Panicked, followed instruction to master reset.

3. I went back to download mode, Flash US998 Nougat.

4. For some reason it could not go pass the setup (keep restarting).

5. Went to Download Mode - Flash Upgrade to Oreo US988. Stable.

6. I think I was successful as I was able to restore my data and the phone works.

One question..probably a stupid one as I am new android user, but I noticed the User Interface is really different , I believe this is what they referred as a "stock" Oreo? It is useable but the UI is really basic. See the attached link:

[url]https://photos.app.goo.gl/h3eeBdoGTtHRM6Y4A[/URL]

[url]https://photos.app.goo.gl/S1PiJQR3XcYn9cZe7[/URL]

Does this mean I just had my Bootloader unlocked and the phone is now ready to flash different variants with LG UP "update" selection?

I am currently using Metro PCS and was wondering of I can flash Tmobile variant to my phone, not sure if flashing Verizon (CDMA) will cause problem for the network.

Greatly appreciate all suggestions or advice :)
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
You're welcome! You've now successfully Frankensteined your phone to open market US998. Let me try to answer your questions...

As you admitted in step 1, you didn't follow the instructions. But also in step 4 you didn't... ;) Luckily you survived it! Especially in step 4 -- between US998 Nougat and US998 Oreo -- is when you really needed to Master Reset, as that Nougat flash is necessary but very unstable. After Master Reset, then that Nougat is stable and you can continue to flash Oreo.

No, your bootloader is not unlocked, but you are carrier unlocked/SIM card unlocked to use this phone on different carriers.

I'm not sure if you are confusing terminology and are really asking about bootloader unlock? (which is necessary for root) You flashed US998 Oreo 20D, which has the bootloader lock security patch. If you want to unlock bootloader, you would need to temporarily downgrade to Oreo 20A or 20B first and run the

instructions in the WTF thread

... You could root, then update back to newest firmware after bootloader unlock. I'm only mentioning this because you asked about bootloader unlock.

Right now, you now have the open market, carrier unlocked US998 variant -- the one designed to run on all North American carriers. It will run on T-Mobile/MetroPCS quite fine. Lots of T-Mobile users have US998 on T-Mobile. Not only is there no need to flash T-Mobile variant KDZ, but since T-Mobile KDZ has different RSA encryption than all the other North America V30 variants, you'll definitely brick your phone if you try.

You can use "update" for US998 for future updates or you can use simple "upgrade" with full KDZ in the dev patched LGUP when future US998 KDZ are released. Simple "upgrade" in dev patched LGUP does not wipe your data. You had to wipe your data THIS time because you were converting to another model. Now that you are on US998, you can stay there. In the future you can just use "upgrade" for KDZ if you do not receive update prompts. I prefer flashing full image KDZ myself instead of partial image OTA.

The plain look is just the layout and theme choices you've made. (Go into Settings and search for Home and also Theme. ) Plus there's no carrier bloatware on US998. Also Oreo looks a little different, if you're just upgrading from Nougat.

For myself, I use Nova launcher with an icon theme pack to change the look. It has lots of different choices. I prefer a separate app drawer, and I prefer my app drawer have a black background to clearly differentiate it from my desktop. I like the Nova "cube" transition to go to my different desktop screens.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Jkho89:
Appreciate the answers, Chazz.

Ok, I believed I did not do master reset from H931 to US998 Nougat but I did master reset from US998 Nougat to US998 Oreo. Now that you mentioned it, that was probably the reason why I succeeded.

Yes I am pretty sure I mixed up terms as I am probably not 100% with the terminologies, my apologies. Thanks for the warning, will definitely not flash T-Mobile variant. :eek:

Good to know that from now on I just have to do upgrade through dev patched LG UP to update US998 kdz.

I think the reason I thought the step was not complete was because in the UI, I was not able to move any app shorcut (and widget) on my screen. It is also not arrangeable. Also when I go to App and touch-hold the app icon, there is no option delete it. Is this normal? I went to try different themes and it did not fix the problem. I youtubed LGV30 Oreo and it looks really different from my current phone.

Couple of screenshots:

Last Page of the main screen, I had to click the "+" sign to add apps. and the app is not move-able.

https://photos.app.goo.gl/BgcRPCrdsaEDx4uX8

Swipe left from the main screen:

https://photos.app.goo.gl/BtMEkyrvv5vfrpQi8

Will Nova Launcher fix this?

Thanks Chazz.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Try Nova launcher.

If that doesn't fix the problem, do a Master Reset and then use dev patched LGUP and DL PARTITION (choose all partitions) the US998 Oreo KDZ over your phone. You may want to do that anyways...
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Jkho89:
Wow, a simple Master Reset fixed this issue! Thanks, you are the best man.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] jaysus145:
Seconded! ;)

ETA: I think your LG launcher had the "simple mode" option (or whatever it is called) turned on. I am using Nova too, so I am not positive where that setting is.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Jkho89:
I am quite happy with the UI as is. I am just glad that I was able to get out of that "simple mode" UI.

The UI looks awesome now!
