[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] DuhCiphered:
I finally had some time to actually set down and mess with my new V30 and work on unlocking and all of that, had to downgrade to 20a but got that all done. Bootloader unlocked, flashed everything I needed to from the WTF thread. Now I'm ready to upgrade to 20h. I realize I need to step up to 20e then f,g,and h. I got 20 e and 20h to download from androidfilehost but can't get 20f and g. It either sticks at 'standby' or comes up, 'no mirrors found. Tried four different browsers, tried with all extensions and plug-ins disabled. Disabled adblock and dnscrypt in my router. So I don't know. Is there an alternate download link for the twrp zips?

Hello

I'm on a custom rom and i want to go back to stock so i want to ask can i instal us998 nougat with partition dl then install my recovery and install magisk then go to us99820h with upgrade or should i go to 20a then 20h?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
If you already have TWRP, install TWRP-FLASHABLE zips US998 20E, 20F, 20G, 20H stacked in TWRP to auto flash back to back + Magisk. Wipe caches, reboot.

You don't need to go back to Nougat or anything. But you need all those incremental updates starting with 20E.

I want to install them with lgup bcs i've already downloaded these kdz files and my intetnet is so slow
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
If you want to go to KDZ route, merely flash US998 20H KDZ with LGUP -- either with Refurbish or Partition DL.

Your bootloader will still be unlocked.

Then, install TWRP via fastboot, flash the three root files -- just like you did initially on US998 20a or 20b with WTF instructions:

* No encryption file,

* no root check file,

* Magisk.

* REBOOT.

* Install the NOXX

Advanced Power Menu app

(and give it root privileges) to easily boot back to TWRP when needed.

Just follow the WTF TWRP installation and root Instructions from the 20a/20b stage -- but instead you'll already be on 20H. (Start with WTF Section 6, after you flash US998 20H KDZ in LGUP.)

Then, after root, you'll need to

enable the LG DTS 3D Surround sound

, as that's only already enabled on the TWRP-flashable zip courtesy [MENTION=6815443]JohnFawkes[/MENTION].

Or just install the [MENTION=5377398]TotallyAnxious[/MENTION]

Install that from TWRP, AFTER the first reboot above.

Thanks so much for helping out. I got the patched LGUP from your thread. Download mode is the exact same.... Works like a champ with all three dlls if I use the standard LGUP. If I use the patched LGUP it doesnt recognize the device no matter which dll I use.

I've not been able to find an H932 dll yet. Do you know who made the patched LGUP? Maybe it's something in that program?

After I got my phone set back up, I went to do a backup in twrp and it's telling me that it can't mount storage. Something about encryption and I need to format data. Problem is a I did that last night, which led me to having to set the phone up again. Didn't have any of this going on till I did the upgrade. Do I need to do all of this again. And if so, what am I doing wrong?

Another question. Can I restore my 7.1.2 (nougat) backup from a couple weeks ago and start all over?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
When you unlocked the bootloader and rooted, did you follow the instructions to flash the no encryption file? That should have prevented the issue. There's also another file you need to flash.

Yes, we will have full image KDZ that you can install via Upgrade mode in LGUP. Just like when we went from Nougat to Oreo. It will be seamless. You just need to be on full stock firmware. (Like my wife's US998 V30.)

For people who are bootloader unlocked and rooted (like me), they will have to wait for [MENTION=6815443]JohnFawkes[/MENTION] or [MENTION=3138121]seadersn[/MENTION] to create a TWRP-flashable zip for new Pie when the full image KDZ is released.

Also just like when we went from Nougat to Oreo, I will start a new KDZ thread for Pie. (If you look for it, there's still even a Nougat US998 KDZ thread I created -- but the only time people visit that is when they are downgrading from some other Oreo to US998 Nougat for Frankenstein. ;) )

There will be new KDZ Pie threads for all the KDZ threads I have started and maintain -- US998, EU H930, Canada H933, Verizon VS9996, EAS H930DS.

I know there's a lot of excitement right now about the V30 beta PIE files, but when the official KDZ files are released that's when you can update seamlessly via LGUP (from any Oreo -- not specific security patch like for the beta files -- and possibly even Nougat). You can also have unlocked bootloader if you wish, root and have TWRP flashable zips. ;)
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] HueyT:
I tried Artificial Intelligence System (A.I.S.) ROM, stock-based on H930-20J, Russian Rom--of course it would not work for CDMA users like Verizon and Sprint--basically GSM only rom. Confirming no cross-flashing on stock or stock-based ROMS between models
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
I'm not quite understanding your point. Or is it a question? Can you clarify, explain more?

You replied to my comments about official Pie KDZ which will be coming in the near future. So, nothing being done with beta OTA files (where there's severe limitations on how you even install them, like with locked bootloader) will apply to that future situation.

You also mention A.I.S. -- which is obsolete H930 stock-based custom ROM we previously had here on XDA; the thread has been locked for months. Did you find a newer version somewhere?

As for full stock firmware, H930 and H930DS stock firmware have never been compatible with any North American V30 phones, like US998. For Boombox and AIS (both obsolete stock based "H930" ROMs), they could be installed on some North American phones because they were built as "ROMs" and were not full stock firmware. No, they did not support CDMA bands -- but by end of 2019, neither will Verizon. ;)

With official Pie KDZ, I expect the same variants which can cross flash stock firmware (using

Frankenstein rules

) can still do so (all North American variants, except T-mobile H932), and those who can't still cannot.

Do you mean right now? Or with future Pie KDZ?

For instance North America US998, AT&T H931, Canada H933, Verizon VS996, regional carriers' AS996, Sprint LS998 can all cross-flash stock firmware -- if available -- (using

Frankenstein instructions

) and/or even cross flash TWRP-flashable zips (ROMs) based on those variants' stock firmware. (I think Korean variants can also flash to North American stock firmware, but I'm not totally familiar with them.)

The only reason any of that would change is if LG increments the ARB version in the official Pie KDZ release.

I'm sorry if I misunderstand your comment. Or if you had a question? Please clarify if you wish.

Why has my LGV30 US998 suddenly become incompatible with Android Auto. How can this be corrected?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dmw_4814:
I'm just getting around to doing this, now. I just flashed the US998 20h update (I used the refurbish option in LGUP to wipe out any/all of my data). Can I just relock the bootloader at this point, and call it a day? If I flash the Verizon firmware, won't that limit anyone who buys the phone from me to using it only on Verizon, thereby limiting my potential "buyer pool"? In other words, wouldn't it be better to try and sell a V30 that can be used on any network, or is it missing some bands it needs to be "universal" (I was using it on Verizon, without any trouble making/receiving call; using data, etc)?

Thanks,

Dennis
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
Well you asked how to flash it back to stock. ;)

I'll give you the pros and cons.

Verizon has not carrier locked their phones since 2012, due to order by the FCC for them to buy more LTE bandwidth. So, any Verizon LTE phone since 2013 is carrier unlocked. In 2014, I went through this with people who bought the Droid Turbo, and we had to prove to them it came carrier unlocked. (There's an exception for Verizon prepaid phones, where they have to be activated on Verizon first -- but the V30 was never sold as a prepaid phone.)

https://www.verizon.com/about/consumer-safety/device-unlocking-policy

With the VS996 on Verizon firmware, Verizon does have an annoying "non Verizon SIM card" warning when booting, but it's still carrier unlocked and works with non-Verizon SIM cards. However, some people not on Verizon don't like to see that, so that's one reason they flash to US998 or even H933.

Flashing back to VS996 will ensure buyers will be able activate that native VS996 on Verizon, if they are Verizon customers. It will have Verizon IMEI and Verizon firmware. If the buyers keep it stock, they will get Verizon OTA updates. It's a genuine VS996 -- restored to latest stock Verizon firmware.

Keeping it on US998 firmware, users will probably not get OTA updates. They will be on latest Oreo as you sell it, but will have to come here to figure out how to manually update, like to Pie.

Keeping it on US998 will increase your chances of selling quickly it on eBay as it's a very recognized carrier unlocked model. Some people do not know that VS996 is carrier unlocked.

EDIT: I had to edit this secton about LTE bands.

While the VS996 technically has more LTE bands, the US998 has the extremely important 12(17) band for AT&T and T-mobile.

https://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-VS996-Silver-lg-v30

On Verizon firmwware VS996 has LTE Bands:	1/2/3/4/5/7/20/13/20/38/39/40/41/46/66

http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-US998-Silver-lg-v30

On US998 firmware will have 1/2/3/4/5/7/12(17)/13/20/25/66

Your choice. I would check recent completed eBay sales and see which has higher re-sale value and how quickly it sold. Current value for "mint" US998 on eBay is $160.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] dmw_4814:
OK, so I'm thinking it'll be best to flash it back to Verizon firmware, so whomever buys it can get any OTA updates. Can I just flash the latest 20K KDZ, or do I have to incrementally flash earlier KDZs first? DO I flash them the same way I just flashed the latest US998 KDZ (LGUP using refurbish mode), or do I have to use a patched LGUP method? If so, can you point me to the instructions? It's been a long time since I did that, and I don't remember how I went about that.

Thanks,

Dennis
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
You can flash latest Verizon KDZ with LGUP Refurbish. (I'm not saying specific version because Verizon is actually in the midst of releasing 20L. You don't have to wait for that.)

Nevermind - I was able to figure it out. I remembered I used the patched LGUP to originally "Frankenstein" the phone, so it could be rooted. I found that post, and followed your instructions from there. Two quick questions:

1. If someone wants to buy this phone and use it on AT&T or T-Mobile, can I flash the appropriate AT&T or T-Mobile firmware onto the phone for them (I'm guessing, in those cases, it wouldn't get OTAs)?

2. Does this VS996 model have the appropriate bands to work correctly on AT&T and/or T-Mobile?

Thanks for all your help, man! I really appreciate it.

US998 will give u most value, most bands, most compatibility, but OTA may not work smoothly on VZW (KDZ will allow flashing to latest firmware)
