[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
This guy did it. However he didn't do a straight flash from one to the other. In fact at one point he flashed NOUGAT US998, then used "upgrade" to get back to Oreo US998.

I'm not sure if he had to do that because he had flashed all the other KDZs first (AS998, H933) or if that's just a necessary step. Read below.

pretty sure it is safe to go from Nougat US998 to Oreo US998.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nine One One:
So AS998 can flash file KDZ of US998 or H930 or H933, right?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Not European H930, that I've seen. The others (which are North America variants) , yes.

I'm just reporting what I know for sure.

Hey Chazz thanks for the help in this thread.

Got a question.

Ordered a Sprint v30+, is there a major difference between the US and AS firmwares? Like one has more bloatware than the other?

I will do the cross flashing as soon as I get it.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] rambu_1:
So....I tried with 5 LS998 Oreo to AS998 Oreo... everything working fine...it is even recognized as an V30+ in "About Phone"...only getting "v30" (without "+") at the initial screen right after boot.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
From what I understand they're basically equal -- just the US998 for regional carriers, since U.S.Cellular model US998 is for "national carrier" U.S.Cellular, as well as sold by authorized retailers like B&H Photo to be "Open Market" variant. Since the US998 doesn't have bloatware, neither should have the AS998 -- especially since it's for various smaller carriers in rural areas, not just one carrier (like Verizon) that can dictate to LG.

For anyone who has flashed both, do you see any difference between the two?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] JWnSC:
Is anyone with the ls998 still on Sprint network after flashing to us998?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mikalhicks7:
Free the Ls998!!
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
That is an interesting question, since Sprint doesn't allow the US998 to be brought/used on their network. They want you to buy their own hardware.

It might still work if it has the same IMEI?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheDannemand:
I would think it will still work, but I will be interested to hear. CDMA carriers differ from GSM carriers in that they need each device to be specifically listed in their database in order to provision it on their network. But it's by IMEI, I don't think ROM or firmware affects it. I could be wrong though.

I cannot imagine why Sprint wouldn't want US998 on their network when they accept several other "Open Market" unlocked devices. My wife and I used our Nexus 5 on Sprint (AND on T-Mobile AND on AT&T, what a great phone that was :) ). Maybe it's because LG never had the US998 firmware approved by Sprint.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] texasaggie1:
Hi, you mentioned earlier that you got a bootloop and followed chazzmatts intructions to fix it:

After getting boot loops I followed [MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION] intsructions to perfom a full reset and am happy to report that everything is ok. No IMEI issues, no radio or signal problems so far.

Can you please direct me to those instructions ?

---------- Post added at 08:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------

So do you think you could make a H932 flashable zip that updated everything EXCEPT recovery.image and recoverybak.image

Just in theory... but If I could crossflash a bootloader unlocked H932 (like the H932PR) maybe that would give us fastboot commands so we could then flash twrp... then maybe we could have a flashable zip that flashes everything but recovery that puts it back to H932?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
I'm not here to try to figure out Sprint. But allegedly they don't accept the US998 because it doesn't have a couple of minor LTE bands they use, just the major ones. Neither AT&T nor T-Mobile reject phones because of that. The US998 also doesn't have all the minor LTE bands AT&T uses. So what? I'm still using it on AT&T and AT&T doesn't care. I still have most of the LTE bands, plus HSPA. It's compatible with AT&T.

So that dubious reason Sprint is stating doesn't make any sense. With Sprint you would still have many LTE bands plus CDMA as backup.

No, I THINK it's because they also sell a V30/V30+ and they want you to buy their phone instead. Plus, U.S.Cellular also sells the US998 and only LG can tell the difference.

Of the limited list of open market phones Sprint accepts, do they also sell that model themselves? A direct example like the LG V30?

I also think it has to do with money. If LG kicked some money to Sprint, suddenly the US998 would be welcome. ;)

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] JWnSC:
Would flashing everything but modem keep the lte bands unchanged? Need to use on Sprint for a while. I'm sure it would work, the imei is clean and in their system already. I noticed us998 and as998 doesn't support bands 26 or 41 which is used by Sprint frequently in my area.

Trying to get away from Sprint firmware.Can't remove Sprint bloat (carrier apps only) with adb anymore with the ls998 Oreo update and apns are now locked(The phone was previously unlocked). I know people don't like Sprint but the service is well in my area. During congested times it's faster than Verizon and cheap with no noticable throttling.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
I would message T-Mobile and ask what is going to happen to Sprint phones with the merger. The LG V30 could easily be updated to be fully compatible for both networks. Maybe the policy will change a out the non-carrier variants as well with Sprint being slowly rolled into the T-Mobile brand.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
The merger is a full year away. For the newer Sprint phones, they'll probably activate all the compatible T-Mobile LTE/HSPA bands while actively phasing out CDMA. Just like T-Mobile did with MetroPCS and AT&T did with Cricket, after those respective sales. They continued to run CDMA for awhile until they repurposed all the spectrum.

I know with Cricket, AT&T promised 18 months of continued CDMA before shutting it off. They then gave customers generous trade in deals on their CDMA phones to new Cricket phones.

Point is, one year from now + 18 months more... LG V30 will be long be out of warranty by then.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Yes, it's safe. But on the LS998 the overall process is just not as straightforward as flashing AS998. I tried it, kept bootlooping. So, had to do what [MENTION=5550354]papoose515[/MENTION] did -- flash Nougat US998 in DL Partition. ( By this point I was ALREADY on US998 Oreo! So, I was temporarily downgrading.) Then, that was stable and I used "UPGRADE" in LGUP to flash back to Oreo US998. And now that's fine.

I don't know why going straight from LS998 Oreo to US998 Oreo doesn't work. The middle step is Nougat US998. THEN, use "upgrade" to go back to Oreo.

H932 Unlocked Bootloader Frankenstein Feedback Wanted

I have an h932 V30+ on Oreo. Bootloader is unlocked. I read every post in this thread tonight. Nobody has successfully cross flashed this model that we know of.

I am thinking about cross flashing US998 Oreo since it worked for the guy with thee H932PR. Any thoughts?

Also, assuming it works, will the bootloader remain unlocked?

If you think it will fail, what if instead I ONLY flashed the non signed partitions mentioned on page 3 or 4 by running naked?

Thanks in advance for your input
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Guess we now know which theory is correct.

https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/help/wtf-lg-v30-t3790500

Somebody did something totally ridiculous -- flashing an LG G4 unlock.bin file (which seemingly didn't work at first) on his AT&T LG V30 and bootloader unlocked his AT&T H931 V30. And flashed TWRP and rooted.

Or maybe it was because he flashed it to H930, which would have fastboot flash commands.

But still that totally non-sanctioned bootloader unlock should not work...

---------- Post added at 10:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 PM ----------

I change my answer. IF what this guy above did is true, nothing is impossible.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Addiso:
I wanted to try but never got around to it since this is my only device atm. I was gna try flashing nougat us998 then use the upgrade option to get to Oreo us998.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jubeldum:
What we need is for someone with a H932PR to download the H932PR kdz file for us. Also for them to unlock their bootloader before they crossflash to US998. Once done, see if the flash commands work to flash TWRP.

Who knows. Maybe the H932 can be flashed to H932PR, then to US998 and back to H932 after TWRP is installed. Sometimes dreams can come true.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
[MENTION=546830]poncespr[/MENTION] (the H932PR guy) says he couldn't unlock his bootloader before he converted, if I understood his answer correctly. So, the H932PR isn't exactly the same phone as the H932.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] poncespr:
That is correct.

Also, I tried to find a stock KDZ for my H932PR previous to cross flashing as a backup in case I bricked it and could not find one.

Edit:

FYI, I decided to flash H933 Canada (Rogers) on top of US998 on my H932PR just for kicks, and also no issues. Except for a few more LTE bands in the service menu that I am not sure are really active, I really see no point on choosing one over the other.

Flyme 7 Coming to Older Phones Like Meizu PRO 5.. to see click here :D:D:fingers-crossed:

It's good news, currently only 4.7% of mobile phones have Oreo.

The trouble is until Flyme gets stable

And if there are new drivers maybe someone (@faust93) is able to port it to Resurrection Remix 6, which is still in beta on most phones :confused:

You just have to wait and all the pieces are put together
[Meizu Pro 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] luisbit:
They just released the Meizu 15 with Android 7.1.2. and Flyme OS 7, does not even come with Oreo.

I'm very disappointed!

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Meizu is one year behind in the design and software of its mobile phones. They pass the fashions without offering anything.

I expected them to catch up, but nothing. He's going to win a bad name forever.

They will end up putting the sign closed for vacations, which we already know what it means.

Above, they do not pay Google for having Google Play well. The International Version is a fake, they aren't Certified

:mad::(
[Meizu Pro 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] luisbit:
And they also have blocked the bootloader so you can not install any ROM (there are none in the Meizu Pro 6, Pro 7).

My next mobile will not be a Meizu is clear. In 2015, they competed with Xiaomi, I thought that they would get over them but they have chosen very bad strategies, such as making several versions (China, the International), moving away from Google, problems with apps, very similar designs for all their phones, prices that are too high compared to the competition , many software failures in Flyme, without Android updates ...
[Meizu Pro 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] luisbit:
Luckily I have it with RR and Android 7.1.2 (in 3G and without finger print but this does not matter at all). And I'm happy with him !!

You do not need another Android if you have it well customized (Substratum, Exposed, Magisk Manager ..).

But it would be cool to have RR with Oreo..

[Meizu Pro 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] GuliW:
Meizu was downgrading ever since 2015 and their strategy to focus on the Chinese market with dozens of new devices every year led to abandoning all their previous flagships and lack of focus on software updates. Obviously providing regular up-to-date upgrades does not bring in too much revenue compared to the new devices ranging from budget to flagships that bring in millions. This fact showed their real face - hunt for money rather than for creating an outstanding product and attracting even more customers. Pro 5 is my first Meizu phone and is definitely the last one. Even with running RR 7.1.2 and fully and smoothly functioning hardware, I do really lack fingerprint option and I don't like having any sacrifices on the device. which once used to be a flagship and still has pretty powerful insides to date. I like trying different roms and flashing firmware, but for the testing purposes, not because I am forced to in order to have more or less up-to-date Android version and properly working Google Services and Play Store. This is just ridiculous and disgusting.

hi everybody.

I'm surfing the internet.

https://www.getdroidtips.com/flyme-os-7-meizu-pro-5/

I came across this site.

I downloaded and installed the Meizu pro5 Flyme 7.0.2.0A from the https://www.flyme.cn/firmwarelist-23.html#3 link provided on the site. I got backup of my phone. I've installed wipe cache. And it works.

I wanted to share it with you.

Notes:

- I had a flyme 6.3 rom.

- I installed vipe cache from the first installation. sim network did not work. vipe cache cleaning and installed all functions worked.

-Flyme has added facial recognition and works very nicely.

- Press the power button. I installed the version uplink type. As described in the first link. (https://www.getdroidtips.com/flyme-os-7-meizu-pro-5/)

-I've been using it for two days. very nice. Flyme7 is the original system board and stable.

- Before loading, change the ro.product.locale = zh-CN line in the zip file (update.zip/system/build.prop) to -> ro.product.locale = en-US.

- Bad news - I use English. Problems can occur in other languages.

Hi

I'm not using Iris Scanner to unlock my phone. Anyway I noticed the IR Led turning on kinda randomly on my phone.

If my screen is locked and I press power button to get to lock screen, IR led turns on. After I unlock my phone using fingerprint or pattern, IR led goes off.

Now if I do random stuff on my phone (open apps, and just play around phone) IR led will turn on/off without me getting any idea what's that behavior based on.

It's it supposed to do that? What's the point flashing IR led if it's not even used for anything?
