Try the trouble shooting tips. You have dev patched LGUP?

Just curious why you're upgrading you AS998 OREO instead of US998 Oreo?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] MFKilla:
Yes i have patched LGUP

Im upgrade LS99811a to AS99820b
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
You tried the trouble shooting tips included in my post about converting the models? I hate retyping that over and over.

US998 Oreo has fastboot flash commands (so you can unlock the bootloader and root) while I don't think AS998 does. If you're going to upgrade, then do the best upgrade. ;)

Bro but i can fron AS998 reflash to US998

Im trying do hard reset. At another PC i have flash many 11a to AS998 and all is good.

Once more question:

Has ls99811a converted AS99820b . Flash 2 phones. But one working good, and second Emergency call only(( Its may be because its imei as lost/stolen?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Yes, one of the trouble shooting tips is to try another computer. Due to different installations of .NET framework.

For others reading --

also different USB port,

different USB cable,

reinstall drivers,

reboot the computer...

Your other question, I don't know.

Strange, when I first Unlocked a couple days ago, A LS998 converted to US998, the OEM button was greyed out. Now going into settings, its not greyed out anymore. I went back into fastboot mode and ran getvar, It still says im unlocked and it boots up with the warning screen to lock bootloader. Strange things.

Hold volune down and power button when v30 screen appears release power and press again but I think for h933 you have to flash to us998

You have to flash to other North America variants, like US998

Surprisingly after a master reset, I was able to successfully boot to H930 firmware and model number also showed the same. I did this to enable Indian Jio volte functionality on my Canadian V30. I also proceeded with root and was successfully able to install Magisk. Unfortunately, none of the custom ROMs or H930Ds firmware were compatible with jio.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
All I know is that's how [MENTION=6158380]TxanMoe[/MENTION] temporarily bricked his phone when discovering our root method, and [MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION] had to help him recover.

And it wasn't just simple master reset.

So, since then we recommend North America variants stick with North America variants for Frankenstein.

Yes, there are H930DS firmware with India Jio VoLTE.

The PHL H930DS Oreo KDZ has India Jio VoLTE, as does the Indonesia H930DS Oreo KDZ. They both have the same md5, so I suspect that when LG officially releases India H930DS Oreo KDZ, it will actually be that same KDZ. Read

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] namanpuri1:
Somehow in my situation, a master reset did the job and h933 was succesfully converted to indian h930ds indian nougat firmware. I have already tried h930 phl oreo firmware and indian h930ds, both which were supposed to have working jio volte, but in my case did not let volte work, and I was getting no signal. Might have to do something with the phone being canadian unlocked version, as other people seem to have volte working with both.

---------- Post added at 09:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 AM ----------

Boombox booted, rest rr and lineage did not boot. Surprisingly as I was getting no signal on all several of the firmwares and rom I tried, i was forced to go back to stock h933 for my phone and no root, where atleast I got signal. To my suprise, I still got the message of bootloader unlocked when booting the phone even after switching firmware to h933. I tried to proceed with rooting my bootloader unlocked h933 with the instructions from the wtf thread, but somehow the adb commands werent recognised by the phone. Interesting, was wondering if there was anyway by which I could enjoy root on my h933.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Yes, for root you need to flash to KDZ which has fastboot flash commands. That's the reason all the North American variants have to flash to US998.

We don't recommend flashing North America variants to European H930/global H930DS, but somehow you survived it.

Hi,

First let me thank you guys for this excellent achievement. Thanks for the easy to follow guide. I managed to change my LS998 V30+ to the US998 by downgrading to the US998 nougat, Reset, then upgrading to the US998 Oreo. Manage to boot device successfully.

But... There's seems to be a problem connecting to the network on the data. First it only showed up as 3G and speed were less than a half mbits. Tried to search and connect to the Lte band without any success. And now is Not connecting at all.

I can make phone calls but can't get any data.

I'm still using Sprint as the carrier and using same simcard, not sure if thats relevant but just letting you guys know.

Any help, suggestions here? Thanks in advance!
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Have you bootloader unlocked and rooted?

For those still on Sprint, please see the Sprint thread created by [MENTION=2732656]JWnSC[/MENTION] to help Sprint users on converted LS998/US998 who want to keep using Sprint

https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/how-to/us998-to-ls998-sprint-lte-root-t3802310

The two reasons people convert LS998 to US998 is to either

* carrier unlock it to use on another network

and/or

* as a step to bootloader unlock and root the phone.

It can be one or both those reasons.

For Sprint users who wish to keep using their now-US998 on Sprint, you have to add back some stuff to fool Sprint that's it's an approved phone. ;)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Joewydiart:
Hi and thanks again. Just followed the instructions on using the sprint apn. So far so good. I will let you know if I ran on another issue.

Will try later this month to unlock bootloader and root.

Again thanks!

Issue with booting after flashing

Has anyone had an issue where the phone goes to recovery after us998 firmware is flashed on the ls998 and recovery just flashes on the screen. I can get it to dl mode but flashing again just does the same thing as before. Ive also been having issues with LGUP and it saying "DLL for LS99811a is invalid. Please, install valid package(*.msi). for the model." If anyone has any answers for me please, im all ears. My v30 is a paperweight at the moment and ive had it less than a week and im dying inside lmao

Performance of US998 on Canadian H933

Hey there fellas,

Thanks a lot [MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION] for all your work on these very helpful V30 threads. I just received my V30 and looking at doing this Frankenstein conversion, bootloader unlock etc, I have been doing BL unlocks and flashing for many years now so i know the basics BUT I am new to the LG flashing arena so I am just reading a bit on things here.

I am using the Canadian H933 and the conversion with LGUP seems very straight forward I just have a couple of quick questions before I jump into it. First of all, for those of you with the Canadian V30 who have done this - - [MENTION=5015107]cre4per[/MENTION] and others-- how do you find the overall feel of the latest 20b Oreo for the US998 vs the Canadian release of Oreo from a couple of months ago? Any major performance differences that should be noted? All the LTE bands we use here in Canada including LTEAdvanced are working ok on the US software? Finally interms of rooting, i am not sure if this was commented on already but i am curious how the Root/Magisk hide is working with Safetynet, is it passing? NFC payments with Google/Android pay is a 'must' for me and I want to make sure that safetynet passes before i do the boot-loader/root process. Your feedback on this will be greatly appreciated... cheers.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
You lose band 28, which is a part of the Bell/Telus/Virgin/Koodo 700MHz spectrum in certain areas. If you require Safety Net to pass, then you will face a constant battle with the new version of Google Pay, Netflix, and and other apps that require Safety Net to pass. Root hide tools will need to be updated to circumvent those updated apps once again.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Safety Net passes with Magisk, but it will be a cat and mouse thing. Google Pay updates, then Magisk updates. You just flash the newest version of Magisk as it's available.

Can you take Android Pay off auto update? There will always be a newer version of Magisk to hide root again but you may want to choose the best time to update.

I had no problems at all with google pay or any safteynet related programs only problem I found was volte also any custom Rom will not boot (los rr aosp) only roms working are stock roms like boombox
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
For just the Frankenstein, you need LG mobile drivers and dev patched LGUP (attached in the post in this thread).

After that, if you decide to bootloader unlock and root, you'll need ADB.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] gimpy1:
Thnx, the reason I asked is the download of the adb link would not install for me.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
I'm not at home right now to check it out, but just Google for another ADB download if you need it right now.

Well, I tried to Frankenstein my phone tonight and failed miserably. The phone is stuck in the download mode (says "firmware update"). How can I get it back to working order? I'm on vs996 Verizon.

When I connected to the computer and LGUP patched, I got the message that it was initializing, then got the error message that it could not load the file (this is when I clicked on the LG.exe file).

Not sure what I did wrong? Any help to get it back to working will be greatly appreciated. I tried holding the power button off for about 30 seconds (that did nothing).

thx.

---------- Post added at 08:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 AM ----------

Never mind. I found out how to get out of the download mode and back to my vs996. (Hold power button and volume down button simultaneously for a few seconds).

Now I will have to redo my process to do the Frankenstein. I think it might have to do with the download of the lgup patched and the winrar extraction. The lg.exe file will not open and load.

I'm not sure I understand the unrar. I might try the other app Chazz mentioned, 7 zip(?).

Thnx, guys
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] gilnfld:
Hey fellas, thanks for the quick responses. Regarding LTE bands. can I do the H933 to US998 conversion, root etc and then the Canadian Modem/Baseband files from the H933 Oreo KDZ? Do we have that option with LGUP to just flash modem and will it work? Or can/do we use the dd command to flash canadian modem file similar to how the korean model would as per the WTF thread, [MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION]?

Yeah, thanks for that tip freezing these apps from auto updating is certainly a possibility, namely Google Pay. Knowing safetynet passes on Magisk is a big relief thank you.

Thanks for the feedback on that. How about reverting back to H933 at a later time if i wish to do so? A few pages back someone mentioned ( i believe it was you ) that there were some difficulties doing ths and getting radio/data to work, ho was this solved? cheers.

You want to right click on the zipped folder and extract those contents to another folder of your choice. Once there you will copy and pasted those contents to the LG Electronics folder in your Programs folder.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] gimpy1:
Nothing is helping, Chazz. Sorry. The wife reluctantly tried to help me with the same results, but, she is like me, knows nothing about this type of thing.

I don't know if this can give a clue or not, but I downloaded the lgup patched zip to my phone and tried to extract the files in lg.exe. I got a similar type of error message as I did on the computer, screenshot to follow.

I do have winrar on my phone.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
OK, if you have WinRAR installed, there's two ways of doing it.

One is to right click on the rar'ed (zipped) folder, cuts choose "extract to x folder". (Do not choose "extract here", unless you have already placed the zipped folder exactly where you want the contents to go.)

Then moved the extracted contents (LGUP.exe and .dll file) to the LG Electronics folder. (You should already have that folder if you've installed LG Bridge or even LG mobile drivers...)

You are NOT extracting anything from LGUP.exe. You are only unzipping the zipped folder to get to the two items or whatever in that zipped folder.

Second way is to open WinRAR itself and use the built in File Explorer to find the zipped folder and extract to wherever, but that's harder.

Hey, yeah I am not sure what to say about those signal drops., [MENTION=5015107]cre4per[/MENTION] . Is that how its acting when you went back to H933 OS after converting to US998 using a full KDZ flash with LGUP? [MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION] could you chime in on this one re; returning back to H933 ( or any other version) after doing the conversion to US998 and root etc? Can one just flash with LGUP the OS for their original version without any modem or other problems? cheers and my apologies if this has been answered already...

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
I think/thought you could just use dev patched LGUP to flash the H933 Oreo KDZ. Using DL PARTITION method and flash all partitions, including modems.

That's how people convert LS998 to H933...

Before the WTF bootloader unlock method came along, the big deal was just carrier unlocking the Sprint LS998. The three popular choices were from LS998 to H933, AS998, or US998 -- as those were North America carrier unlocked variants.

Then with WTF bootloader unlock method, US998 became king because it also has that necessary fastboot flash commands.

If someone converted H933 to US998, and says they can't convert back, I'm not disputing their experience -- but I don't know why that would be.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] cre4per:
Yeah its very strange and makes no sense at all to me. But as soon as I flash back to us998 it don't seem to drop anymore I found a tread talking about erasing modem st1. Modem st2...or somthing like, might try that this weekend because when I was on us998 I messed in that hidden menu a bit. I didnt think it could carry over after flashing back to h933. unless theres somthing going wrong with the cell service in my area and when Im on us998 Its using different bands
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] gimpy1:
OK, Chazz, I finally got the US998 installed and working. Currently reinstalling settings, etc.

Thx, for all your help. Never would have gotten it without it/you. Again, thx.

I will probably take a break while I study up on the wtf thread. But, as much trouble that I had with this part, unlocking the bootloader...:eek:.

Again, thx.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
You're welcome.

You could have flashed the newer 20B, but 20A is still good enough for bootloader unlock and root!

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] gimpy1:
I saw that after I had already posted to you and was wondering about that? I had already downloaded all of these files back in May and did not realize they had been updated. Is there a way to update to b? Redo the whole process again, or is there another, maybe quicker way?

Thx.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Yes. Go into download mode BEFORE opening the patched LGUP.

Choose "upgrade" in dev patched LGUP. Upgrade will keep all data and apps, and everything in your current set-up.

Download 20B to your PC. In LGUP, navigate to where you stored 20B. (In LGUP interface you'll need to uncheck the box for 20A first before it will let you choose a different KDZ, as that one will still be chosen from last time.)

____

For those of you with TWRP already installed, you would do it differently. You would choose DL PARTITION method instead of upgrade, and you would de-select "recovery" partition. This would allow you to keep custom recovery. You would have to flash Magisk via TWRP as well as the no encryption and don't check root file.

Hopefully the 20B TWRP flashable zipped file will soon be posted.

Yes thanks for the info. I do not think it was a matter of him not being able to flash back to H933, since he claims the flash was successful but rather an issue of there being some inconsistencies on the network/modem side.

Regarding the flashing of the H933 KDZ on top of the converted-to-US998 phone, is it possible [MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION] for me to ONLY flash the Modem partition from the Canadian KDZ so i can stay on US998 but have it running Canadian Modem/Baseband? cheers

For anyone who has followed this process to cross flash H930DS with H930 EU - is the external SD card still working? H930DS has a hybrid external SD / SIM2 slot and I'm wondering if this functionality is lost.

I would like to use a custom kernel but from another thread it seems to be that the only way the H930DS can use it is to convert to H930 EU using the Frankenstein method. I don't want to lose my external SD. If SIM2 doesn't work that's not so bad.
