U dont need to flash rctd or encryption disabled zips as these zips are already disabled. Also kdz 20h and then TWRP, root is more stable than the alphabet soup dance as these zips are missing some partitions
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] 1031982:
I got no reason to get mad at you. I could have sworn I followed the directions without skipping a step, but I am only human. I will try again, but if I have that self-reboot from within TWRP before I can even swipe, I can't got forward.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
He wasn't flashing rctd or encryption disabled zips as part of flashing the TWRP-flashable zips. He wasn't at that stage yet. He flashed them while unlocking bootloader, installing TWRP -- where you DO have to flash the rctd and encryption disabled zips. He jumped straight to Section 9 (TWRP flashable zips) while not having completed all the steps of Section 6 yet.

You have to install TWRP, flash Magisk, flash rctd & encryption disabled zips, reboot to TWRP from within TWRP, format data, reflash Magisk again and then reboot to system. This is the FIRST time you have booted to system after running the unlock code. Up to this point, you have installed TWRP and been IN TWRP doing all the things you need to do...

Finally you boot to system, then install the Advanced Power Menu, give it root privileges.

AFTER those steps, then boot back to TWRP custom recovery (using Advanced Power Menu) and then proceed to update through TWRP flashable zips.

Make sure you read instructions in a web browser (NOT an app) and even print them out. XDA app especially truncates entire sections of the WTF instruction, which is strange since you need read ALL the instructions and XDA should realize that.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] 1031982:
For stuff like this, I always read it in my browser. I know the risks involved with this stuff, so I try to be as careful as possible. I will say that I am in B right now with Magisk, and am transferring over the twrp flashable updates.

I assume that I can chain the updates?

Also, I plan on doing a factory reset on the phone once I am back on H to have it recover and auto install from my Google backup. I would assume this is fine, and I will simply need to flash Magisk back after I am back in the system.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
Are you on 20b and you have at least once rebooted to system, confirmed root, and installed the Advanced Power Menu (or similar) to easily boot back into phone TWRP?

You need to be on regular system at least once before rebooting back to TWRP to then chain flashing 5 builds + Magisk.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] 1031982:
I have been, however now the phone is just freezing and rebooting itself again. This time, I followed everything in line, so I'm just going to go back to stock with the locked bootloader. I need my phone later on today, so I don't really have the time to try and get this working when I know that stock and locked works.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] 1031982:
I did that last time, then once I unlocked the bootloader, it acted up after about 10 minutes. Then I got a few minutes after it rebooted until it did it again.

I really only wanted to have a more updated phone, and to use the google dialer. I don't think it's worth the headache I was getting.

With stock, I just have to get my outlook account working again. It just doesn't want to sync my contacts and calendar.

EDIT : Got it working, so now it just works.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] cbr69er:
Ok cool, didnt know u did the Frankenstein guide. I often wondered who converted all those LS998's to us998's and sold them on ebay.... ?

Havent flashed to h933 yet, I needed a break after last weeks dabacle, but hope to soon.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] lingo2012:
Bought a converted ls998 converted and advertised as unlocked us998. Thought i was buying the unlocked version from yywireless until i checked imei.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
Well, it is now carrier unlocked US998. You mean it's not native US998...

I've bought native US998, I've bought LS998 and converted them to US998 myself, I've bought already-converted US998 (formerly LS998).

If you buy one already converted to US998, they've done half the work for you already if you're planning to bootloader unlock and root. ;)

The only time a converted US998 is any different from a native US998 is if you try to activate a new SIM card with Verizon. They go by the IMEI, not the firmware -- and Verizon won't activate a "Sprint" phone. So Verizon users need an already-activated SIM card or some cheap 2nd phone to activate new SIM card, then switch over.

Otherwise, a US998 is a US998 no matter how it got there.

By the way, my wife's native US998 and my mother's native US998 were both bought new from B&H Photo, and neither receive OTA updates. Worked on Nougat, but not Oreo. So, having to manually install updates via LGUP is also really no different on USS98 converted from some other North American variant.

This is why I report the trolls who try to claim converted US998 phones on eBay will not be considered "genuine", because they don't get OTA updates. They are ignorant of the situation. Because even native US998 often don't get OTA updates (2 of the 3 I bought brand new from B&H Photo). And the genuine original India H939DS no longer gets OTA updates -- due to LG changing the supply chain for that country. Point is, there's many problems with LG OTA updates and no US998 is any different than another (even converted to US998) in features and operation.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] lingo2012:
Native yes no complaints it works great just the advertising as native is what got me.

Rooted using 20H zip for awhile now. No problems at all.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] lingo2012:
I messaged the guy on ebay about it. He gave me a partial refund and I reported him.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
I bought alleged new-in-box carrier unlocked US998 from Wal-mart a few months ago. Ordered online, picked it up in store. Examining IMEI, it's Sprint LS998 converted to US998.

Sprint must have had a ton of leftovers and maybe LG even converted them? Or whoever Wal-Mart supplier is? I don't know. But for my purposes it's still US998.

It still gets LG 2-year warranty, was still considered new in box.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] lingo2012:
Thats crazy. And atleast it still gets a warranty and works out for you the same way.

what is an .up file? Anyway to grab a .KDZ from it? https://www.mylgphones.com/lg-v30-us998-android-9-pie-beta-firmware-v28a.html
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
No. Don't worry about it. It's a partial OTA update file of early buggy beta. When Pie OTA is officially released, full image KDZ will soon follow.

There's a more recent 30a beta/Release Candidate I'm also ignoring. If you want to mess with something, that's more relevant than months-old 28a.

So I flashed E,F,G,H (from B) and my phone is boot looping. I can't seem to get into the recovery now... I'm trying the hold down vol down and power but nothing happens. I cant even get my phone to turn off it just boots to android lock screen and then restarts in about 3 seconds.

Any advice?

Edit: I followed this post: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79972584&postcount=3285 and it still bootloops

EDIT2: Ok I found a way back to TWRP using the download mode on the phone, still bootloops on a regular boot though I can get to the setup screen.

Should I be using magisk 18.1 or 19.3?

You didn't ask about bootloader unlock and root... but you're already on the early Oreo 20a/20b we have to temporarily downgrade to in order to bootloader unlock and root, before updating back to current firmware.

If to wanted to unlock bootloader and root, don't update to 20h until you do that. Otherwise you'll just have temporarily downgrade back again.

Hi. My us998 does not enter on download mode anymore. I have stock firmware on it (20b). I pressed vol + after reboot, then i have message on display "download mode", and then phone just reboot:confused:.

Can someone help pls? Its starts then i install 20b on it.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
How did you lose Download mode? Did you try to flash Pie KDZ?

Is your bootloader unlocked? If so, then re-install TWRP and flash to 20e with TWRP flashable zip and that will restore Download mode.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Yarsan090690:
My bootloader is locked. I just install US99820b_03_0524.kdz using LG UP to begin unlock bootloader actually. After i installing 20b on phone, download mode is broken now
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
1) You don't need Download mode right now.you are on the firmware you need to unlock your bootloader, and it does not involve Download mode.

You need to boot into fastboot and unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and root. Then you update to more current firmware using TWRP flashable zips.

2) However, that's very strange you seem to have lost Download mode. Luckily you will get it back when you flash the 20e TWRP flashable zip, after you unlock your bootloader install TWRP on 20b. ;)

Never happened to anyone before, except those trying to flash Pie KDZ and then downgrading...

What firmware were you on before this?

Did you Partition DL or Refurbish to US998 20b? IF Partition DL, you chose all partitions?

Again you don't need it right now. But if you wish to experiment do this:

Try

Master Reset

. This is NOT Factory Reset.

Also try to connect to LG Bridge on PC to try to make a backup. Some people have reported that doing so corrects some permissions.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Yarsan090690:
I dont remember actually. I think US99810c, but i not sure. Android 7 in fact its all i remember. I did refurbish to 20b. Il try factory reset ,but its not help. Backup and restore on lg bribge dont change anything to. I don’t even know what to do now:eek:
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
See my edited comments above. If you're trying to unlock your bootloader you no longer need Download mode right now.

You need to go ahead and unlock your bootloader using the WTF instructions, install TWRP and root. You are on the firmware you need to be -- US998 20b -- to do that.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Yarsan090690:
Il tried to activate oem unlock trigger in developer option, but it is not switching on. When I click on it it returns to the off position

I'm So happy to see this thread is alive and well!

I have run into an error with LGUP

Error: 0x81000302 use latest DLL LAF Protocol version is not match DLL = 0 Device = 61988896

Here are my steps;

1) Install LGUP in the proper directory location, and overwrote the two files

2) Booted into Download mode

3) Started LGUP

4) Dragged 20A KDZ to the LGUP from the desktop (Dont know if this matters)

5) Selected "UPGRADE" radio button

6) Start

7) Fail

I am really sorry if this is something that was "easily" found in this thread. It was not east for me if it is. I haven't rooted a phone in a number of years and thought this would be easy from the instructions. I am also unsure at this point if it is safe to restart my phone. It says do not unplug usb until the process is complete and I dont know what has exactly started seeing as the % is still at 0. Thank you for any assistance you can provide! I will keep looking in the meantime.

Edit: I am on US Verizon and had my phone stock up to date.

If you were are trying to downgrade from Verizon stock Pie, you have to use the newer Dev Patched LGUP in all the Pie KDZ threads.

Also see the Frankenstein thread instructions. It has the newer Dev Patched LGUP and tells you how to convert from other North American V30 variants to US998 so you can get to US998 Oreo 20a.

does flashing a kdz erases all the data on my phone?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] mcarden2006:
Depends on how you flash it. Generally it will erase everything but if you google back up it will return.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
If you flash via "Upgrade" mode, that's like a manual OTA. It will keep all your data and only install the new parts of the firmware.

However in many instances you can't do that, like when downgrading or something is messed up you are trying to fix. In those cases, Refurbish or Partition DL (all partitions) are your best bet.

Yes, Google will try to restore all possible from recent cloud backup.

From a PM:

From PM:

It's not difficult, but I prefer to answer in open XDA thread.

_____________

1) You need to install software on a PC called LGUP. It helps you update your phone firmware. See attached file to this post. Download it.

Because some people cross-flash firmware from other variants, I recommend installing Dev Patched LGUP as it's more powerful. Your US998 may be an original US998 or may have been converted from another model by the seller before you bought it. I don't know, so it's better to install Dev Patched LGUP than "regular" LGUP.

__________________

2) You will download the Oreo firmware to PC you wish to install. It comes in file called KDZ. The most recent (and will be the last) Oreo KDZ for US998 is 20h. If you go to post #1 of THIS THREAD we are in right now, you will see 3 different download links for 20h. Here's the best one:

DOWNLOAD US998 20h KDZ

____________________

3) Connecting your phone to PC, you will install US998 Oreo 20h in Dev Patched LGUP in "Upgrade" mode. If for some reason that does't work, you will need to use Refurbish mode.

See attached screenshot.

______________________

I'm sorry, I can't explain it any easier.

You HAVE to install LGUP and follow instructions.

You HAVE to download the US998 20h KDZ.

You HAVE to then use the LGUP to install the US998 20h KDZ.

Root used phone

Hello guys. I just got an used Lg v30+. It is the LS998 converted to US998. Currently has the US99830b Pie. I am currently downloading the US99820b to unlock bootloader and root. Upon reading that oreo is more stable than pie, I decided to go to 99820h for a more stable experience. As I am currently travelling wifi is limited for me. After I unlock, to stay in Oreo I have to install all updates until H or can I jump straight to H from B? Can't really download all updates so might have to jump from oreo B to Pie again? Thanks!
