I'm pissed that AT&T blocks Wi-Fi calling once you unlock the phone. I'm leaving after this billing period. Will Wi-Fi calling work on Tmobile with the US998? I feel AT&T is a malicious, dickish company. They lock down every phone they offer. I got this phone thanks to my insurance, and I'm so glad to f**k them over. Only Samsung is a bigger corporate prostitute. I love how companies want 700 bucks for a phone AND TELL YOU WHAT YOU CAN AND CAN'T DO WITH IT! It's like buying a house for half a million cash and then being told you can't paint the kitchen a certain color. Sorry for the rant, but it pisses me off. I wouldn't buy a Samsung if I had cancer and it would cure me. I wouldn't get an iPhone if it meant bringing my grandmother back to life.

No, what you flashed is not the most recent. 20E is newer than 20A. It's at the top of the thread.

[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
That is something to ignore, is what that means. :) That hosting site INSISTS upon tagging all V30 content as "H930" -- even if it's something like T-mobile H932 HDZ which will BRICK an H930. We think its because one of our devs [MENTION=3475147]SGCMarkus[/MENTION] "registered" his H930 as an LG V30 first on that site almost a year ago, and to them every V30 is an "H930" or something along that line of thinking.... The only way I could avoid that is to upload to "generic" folder, and I don't want to do that.

NONE of my stuff is tagged by ME as "H930". I upload a lot of different KDZs (US998, H930DS, H933, VS996, etc -- and yes I do also upload some H930 KDZ. But even some T-mobile H932 ROMs are automatically tagged as "H930" by that site -- which would brick an H930 if you tried to install it!

Just ignore that tag. It's free hosting for XDA development purposes, so I use it.

Yes.

All U.S. LG KDZ? I don't see any V30 firmware download links on that list. Nor even newer models like V35 and V40 (in the download links section). So unless I'm overlooking something, is useless for us V30 owners.

The next US998 Oreo update (20F), it could come even in December. On Oreo, LG promises updates at least every 90 days. For the US998 since 20A, they have been doing it every month or two. But for other variants like H933 or H930DS, they have gone as long as three months between updates. Last US998 update was September. So, they really don't have to release another one until almost Christmas. I'm not saying they will do that, I hope not -- but they could

I just picked up an unlocked V30+ off ebay. it is a US998 variant. I want to update it to Oreo, and have already downloaded the latest US99820e_02_0910.kdz version as I do not need bootloader unlock. I also installed LGUP bridge on my laptop and have used the patched LGUP that is attached to this thread and copied the model file too. One question .. do I need to be in download mode (Go into download mode manually (power off completely, then hold volume up button while plugging in USB cable)? OR is it alright to just connect my LG V30+ to the USB port after enabling USB debugging and then run the patched LGUP and update the firmware to Oreo? Thanks!
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
The 2nd option works most of the time, but sometimes LGUP will not recognize the phone.

Going into Download mode manually before connecting the phone, then connecting the phone, THEN starting up LGUP seems to help with that.

ChazzMatt, All was good with your guide as I mentioned before. It went great, but since then I flashed a few roms, change some stuff, etc... and now I do not seem to be able to get to the bootloader/flashboot mode. TWRP is there and rom boots fine, but even trying adb reboot bootloader just reboots the phone to system. ADB reboot recovery boots to TWRP still as expected.

How can I get back into fastboot mode or replace my bootloader if I messed it up?

Thanks!
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
First, do you have a TWRP backup to restore?

If you don't, then --

Second, try reflashing US998 KDZ via DL Partition method but UNcheck the recovery partitions. That should keep TWRP custom recovery. Then boot to TWRP and flash the three files you flashed before when you first unlocked bootloader: no encryption, no root, Magisk 17.3

Third, if that doesn't work then flash ALL partitions with DL Partition. Reinstall TWRP, etc.

Unable to download US99820e_02_0910.kdz file

Hi,

I recently bought a lg v30, the imei is from a LS998U, but the system said it is a US988 with US99810d running. I want to update to oreo. I tried to do it via FOTA, but the phone said I have the lastest software instaled and I know that is not true because the is a newer version US99820e. I have been serching information about it and I think I can upgrade it via uppercut and I downloaded everything, but I am not abble to download the KDZ file because I have a low connection to internet and everytime I tried to download from android file host or lg-firmware, I lost connection. Can anyone help me with this issue? I need someone to upload the US99820e_02_0910.kdz file to mega or google drive or something that alow me multiple

reconnections.

Thank in advance.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
Do not use Uppercut. Please uninstall Uppercut if you have it.

Use just the Dev Patched LGUP, attached to post #1. Use "upgrade" mode. See screenshot attached. It shows upgrading from US998 Nougat 10D to US998 Oreo. Yeah, it's 20A but same procedure for 20E.

[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
You really need to get a good ad blocker. :p

Exactly. It's basically an ad. It reads what your phone is and put that in the statement. If you had a Galaxy S9 it would tell you that your Galaxy S9 was infected. I wouldn't click on anything in that ad, as it probably would give you a virus! It says it's going to the Google Play store -- but will it? Also besides the alleged "free" antivirus, what ad malware will it install?

I only uploaded to Mega this one time, because someone asked for it. I prefer Android File Hosts as they give free storage space to dev projects. Mega links often go dead and are one of the major complaints in XDA threads.

But I uploaded the same exact file to Mega which I uploaded to Android File Hosts. Besides, all you did was click on the link -- which has nothing to do with the actual file I uploaded (you didn't download or install that file). That pop us is saying you already have a virus. Right....

Can you recommend an add blocker
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
If you mean for phone,

Blokada is good free ad blocker.

Have this on several friends' phones as well as my wife's tablet and my mom's phone.

I use AdGuard (paid ad blocker) because I got a really good deal on lifetime license and didn't know about Blokada at the time. I currently use this on my phone and my wife's phone.

With either, you do NOT need root. With both, they set up a local "VPN" server on your phone which redirects ad requests to that dead zone. You will see a the VPN "key" up in your status bar.

However, if you do have root (as I do) then with

AdGuard there's a way to use HTTP proxy instead of "VPN" mode.

This will then not show the VPN "key" and you can use other VPN when actually needed.

You need to tell what steps you did.

You need to tell that you Master Reset between Nougat and Oreo, that you fully understand what Master Reset is...

First post updated to [MENTION=6815443]JohnFawkes[/MENTION] US998 20F TWRP-flashable zip, plus KDZ download links.

change log:

- DTS: X 3D stereo effect function has been added.

- New Always On Display options

- Selfie camera portrait mode

- Improved accessibility.

- Improved keyboard performance

- Improved the delay of keyboard input when installing multiple market apps at once.

- Photo display error in some apps since Google's latest security patch has been improved.

- Improved to keep app aspect ratio settings after app updates.

- Improved the phenomenon that fine lines are displayed on some screens when power saving mode is executed.

- Google Security Update has enhanced your phone's security.

Most of the list is found here in the link below -- plus the AOD and selfie camera portrait feature are from public reports. The AOD I verified myself, but the selfie thing seems to be subtle.

[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Unblessed Be:
What are you talking about? This update is for US primarily (it's called US99820F). If you already have TWRP you're better off downloading the flashable zip instead of the kdz. ChazzMatt links it in the beginning of this thread. (thanks JohnFawkes)
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
Short answer: Yes, as that's the "version" [MENTION=6815443]JohnFawkes[/MENTION] made his TWRP FLASHABLE ZIP from.

Long answer: There's no difference in US998 firmware no matter which carrier or service it's posted from first.

UCK is one of the abbreviations for US CELLULAR carrier, which sells the US998 -- but LG also offers it as the North America official carrier unlocked model through authorized retailers like B&H Photo. There is no difference in firmware, and all are carrier unlocked. I can go into more detail why LG does this, but I've answered your question.

As this update rolls out wider, you will see this 20F listed several times on LG-Firmwares.com.

Similarly, for Canada LG H933 the same firmwares will be posted several times with the carrier names listed beside them, but they're really all the same firmware.

Since flashing this it seems that I no longer have a lockable device. Even with pin and fingerprints all I have to do is double tap and swipe to open the phone. When I double tap the lock screen device says unlocked, tap icon to lock.

Thanks for the TWRP Flashable, updated from 20e and Magisk 18, it works great. I don't understand what is this DTS X : 3D mode, I tried the command on Termux I couldn't see any output in terminal, apologies if I did it wrong. But I can see that DTS Eagle in the Audio Effects Conf file though.

Anyways, why couldn't LG just add the modes to the sound effect options like in V35/40. We could even get good EQing options and more modes with DTS X (wide, side to side, front) if it really exists ( I was worried about this update because people on Head-Fi on V30 thread said these modes add extra jank to the audio capabilities even turned off on the V40 (weird, yes and most people like that LG V30 doesn't give options for EQing the HiFi 24Bit files to hear pristine audio). I tried flashing 20f to 20e back and forth and comparing the Low end frequencies bass performance and the high end as well and found absolutely no changes to the Audio output from my IEMs (DUNU DN1000, Normal Mode). Dunno what changed, maybe it was so subtle to observe and also time frame between flashes. Unless someone has a device to check the Audio Output graphs, no idea what it's supposed to do..
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] JohnFawkes:

It would seem that flashing the newest f update has broken cell service on my VS996. All the previous updates have worked without issue. Will try flashing the kdz from androidfilehost as I used the lg-firmwares one first and see what happens

EDIT: Did not work (as if it would) Would it be possible to flash specifically the modem partition from an older update to make it work?

EDIT 2: That also did not work. I just see searching for service indefinitely.

EDIT 3: Flashed Verizon firmware back onto the device and that did not fix it either. In fact, it's gotten even worse and now absolutely no reception is found at all.

Back on US99820e and I get service but with "Emergency calls only". I have tested the sim card in other devices and it does work... Not sure what was up with that new update but it seems to have crippled my device.
