Just dirty flashed everything is working fine. Noticed Verizon must have removed OEM bootloader unlock in developer options. Root and TWRP are fully functional. I get an app closure called quality data log service but that must be a Verizon thing also no big deal.:good:
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] suzook:
It is a Verizon thing. You can freeze it using titanium, or just delete the app. Problem solved.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
You don't have to install the update. Just freeze in Titanium. It's "stock" Verizon except for custom recovery, so there will be some customization you have to do yourself.

Yes, and you also do not get the bootloader unlock warning --even though the bootloader is still unlocked. :p

I set aside time today to port my converted LS998 from US998 to VS996. Everything went smoothly. Since I had the time, I dirty flashed first to see how/if it would work. I figured if it didn't go well, I would just do a clean install, but so far (4 hrs), I haven't yet seen had any noticeable problems. I froze the FOTA app, which I'm hoping is the correct one to prevent future Verizon updates.

From what I can tell, the VS996 ROM added the following apps:

Android Wear

Caller Name ID

Cloud

Hellp

Hum

Mobile Hotspot

NFL Mobile

Security and Privacy

Slacker Radio

ThinkFree Viewer

Email

Messaging

Voicemail

The items that went missing:

lg mobile (Switch?) ... don't know what the full app name is

Smart Clean(ing?) ... again, missing the full name

What he said!

Had to go into Settings-->Advanced Calling to turn it on, but I can confirm that WiFi Calling shows up when making a call while connected to my home router. Visual voicemail is working too. Those are the 2 main reasons for me wanting to switch from US to VS.

Additionally, as has been mentioned in other threads, my phone now finds and gets the Verizon signal more quickly on this rom than the US998 one. Whereas I used to have to wait for the phone to fully boot to desktop and (seemingly having to wait for most) background processes to finish, I now get full signal immediately upon hitting the desktop.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] BHB78:
Yes, lost of service and wifi w/ Magisk Beta install. Seemed to work fine otherwise, until beta install. Then reboots to have loss of service and disabled wifi. Restored state previous to Magisk beta install corrected this.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] my.ads0:
I have no warnings to offer.

Nandroid just in case.

I wiped dalvik cache before flashing.

I flashed VS996 zip.

I wiped dalvik cache again.

I forgot to flash magisk, so I had to adb reboot, wiped dalvik, flashed magisk, wiped dalvik and that was it. I could just be lucky, but everything's went smoothly for me.

I installed latest stable 16 as stated in OP and everything seems fine on my end.

So I've encountered one problem that I'm not sure is from my own device or from the dirty flash. I cannot get Video Calling enabled. Was chatting with Verizon rep and they said it was already enabled on the account. They disabled and re-enabled and the phone still won't allow me to enable it (option is greyed out).

I'm wondering if I need to do a clean flash to fix this or if this phone is just wonky for video calling. In the end, there are a # of other apps that will replace this functionality, so it's not a total dealbreaker, but it would be nice to get it working.

Thoughts?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] 4stringenator:
Mine is the grayed out too but I don't use video calling. I dirty flashed over US998 so it probably kept some of the other firmware components. I use Textra messaging app and mms wouldn't automagically work. I had to change it back to the legacy and edit APN settings that I had in order to use under the US998 rom. I may clean flash later to see if that changes things.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] suzook:
Video call fine on mine. Clean flash
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] my.ads0:
Well, hopefully that explains it! I'm away for the next week, but when I get back I'll go the clean flash route and see if that fixes up the problem.

Thanks all.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] johnp357:
sigh.. I installed magisk before the rom so I screwed up like you but adb reboot didn't get anywhere but a normal reboot. did you have to do anything else? I didn't really want to frankestein it again.

I'm confused. Why would you have to Frankenstein again?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] johnp357:
because I'm unable to boot into recovery. the assumption is root is gone.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
Root may be gone, but TWRP is still there.

Boot to TWRP using PC commands until you can reflash Magisk and give the reboot recovery app root privileges.

Haven't tried it yet with the safety net add on app. But it is a known issue with magisk and its internal test. I can tell you that the USAA banking app doesn't work though. But it didn't work before either. It is probably a by product of using xposed though.

Venmo- Kind of works. it will not let you manipulate the cards/bank but I can still send/receive apparently.

This is great! Wifi and HD calling work perfectly but I can't get visual voicemail to work.

According to Verizon my device now running VS996 20D is not compatible with visual voicemail because it's not a Verizon device. They couldn't answer why my wife's otherwise identical V30 on US998 20B on the same account is "COMPATIBLE" (even though it obviously won't work). Both phones are BL unlocked and rooted.

When I open the Voicemail app it goes to a screen with the only option being "Call Voicemail".

Any ideas?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fixed

According to Verizon they couldn't provision Visual Voicemail on an off-network unlocked device; so I powered up my trusty Droid Turbo, popped in my SIM, and added Visual Voicemail back to my account. Then put my SIM back into my V30 running VS996 20D and Visual Voicemail works perfectly. Probably the long way round to fix this but it worked.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] cajun9924:
Yes I had the same conversation with Verizon tech about video calling..He was stunned that hd calling works and told me I didn't have a Verizon phone therefore video calling wasn't guaranteed to work and that I should buy a Verizon phone.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
It's a "Verizon" phone now. ;)
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] cajun9924:
Not really because it shows up as us998 on my Verizon not lgv30 so they know its not. Not really a big deal I use duo instead of native app.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] my.ads0:
I was told the same thing by a Verizon store rep when I first brought my V30 in to get a Sim card. I've actually had luck asking techs to provision features over web chat. They provisioned wifi calling for me without any hassle. Try it and let us know if you have any success.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] cajun9924:
Already tried it they couldn't do it for video calling. Everything else is fine...visual voicemail, wifi calling, volte all good just no video calling techs in chat send me to more advanced tech support and they wont do it. It shows video calling blocked on that line and you cant unblock. Other line with Verizon phone works fine. I even tried swapping sims on dice.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] yjgfikl:
I went through the whole Frankenstein/WTF method on my VS996 (on Nougat), going to Nougat US998, Oreo US998, and then finally Oreo VS996. Everything went pretty smoothly, so I started setting up my phone again getting all my stuff on there, Titanium Backup, etc. Went to do a reboot after uninstalling some 'system' apps and freezing others (like Google Play Music, Movies, etc.) and unfortunately can't get the thing to boot anymore. Stays stuck on the Verizon logo with the 4 dots.

Tried wiping just the boot.img and restoring, then reflashing Magisk, no luck. Tried a factory reset (via TWRP) and still no luck. I'll continue to try some things, I'd hate to have to start all over again.

Edit: Clean flashed this 20D ROM again, working normally now. I restored my settings from an LG backup and did a reboot, good so far. Haven't installed TB yet.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] strifej:
Everything went smoothly dirty flashing from 20B to this (20D). I have a LS998 flashed to US998. Simply flashed this rom, magisk, then xposed in that order (also the silent v20 zip to disable camera shutter) and everything was perfect upon boot up.

It's even better now because before I would get accessibility crashed after every bootup.

Disabled useless system apps through Titanium.

Getting amazing battery life and everything is great.

Thanks!

[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] my.ads0:
Unless I'm mistaken, then I guess your best bet might be to ACTUALLY "change" your phones...as in swap your Sim into the HD Video Call-capable phone, call Verizon and have them change the IMEI on your account to that phone and then have them provision that feature. It's long and roundabout, but they wouldn't be able to deny it at that point. Then, with it provisioned on your account, you should be able to just swap the Sim card back.

My phone works perfectly but my wife's identical VS996 20D V30 has this same problem. Removed it from the account, totally wiped and reinstalled, but didn't fix the problem.

The feature is on the account and shows active but the phone won't recognize it. Did you have any luck with a fix?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] my.ads0:
Unfortunately not. I did a clean flash a couple of days ago and I still can't get it enabled even though Verizon says it is on their end.

To start with, my phone was originally a Sprint phone that I Frankensteined over. What were yours and your wife's phones originally? Is it possible that Verizon is filtering based on "approved" IMEI's in their database?

I tried to enable WiFI calling using suzook's suggested method, but I couldn't get it to work. Did you try his method on your wife's phone? That shouldn't really have caused any problems, though, as that was all ROM-based, which would have been wiped with the clean flash, but I thought I would ask.

Verizon has a log of my last call with them and they're ready to elevate it to Tier 2 support, but I was hoping reflashing would have fixed it.

In the end, this feature isn't really all that problematic due to Hangouts and Duo, but it certainly was nice to have it right there for the few times I ever needed to use it.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] canestfr:
Both phones were originally LS988 Sprint phones that were Frankensteined. By "suzook's method" do you mean flashing only part of the KDZ or something else?

The closest I got was "Upgrading in progress" on the Advanced Calling menu but after waiting and rebooting I was right back to the beginning.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] my.ads0:
Damn. There goes that theory!

https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/how-to/wtf-lg-v30-t3790500/post76613814#post76613814

I had tried that, but had no luck. I was just wondering if maybe I did something horribly wrong in there that caused this. Again, flashing should have fixed it and it sounds like you didn't try to do this.

Have both of your phones been through the same unlock/flash/upgrade path? Anything different at all about their history?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] DeliriousHD:
I know I've seen a bypass for this in this forum site, but I'm not sure where. I keep having this "system update" crap constantly popping up and I can get arid of the notification. Does anyone know a quick fix for that ?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] my.ads0:
Isn't it just disabling the FOTAUpgrade app or something like that in Titanium?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] canestfr:
I got it to work! Your question got me thinking as the unlock/flash/upgrade path was identical for both phones but the software and storage were not.

First difference was her phone didn't have the paid version of Titanium Backup, so no freeze capability. The OTA notifications were annoying while working on this so I upgraded to paid TB and froze the FOTA app.

I wonder if when activating VOLTE (before WiFi Calling) the phone somehow checks if the latest update is installed? That might explain why after freezing FOTA I was able to activate VOLTE then WiFi Calling.

Second was that I had my SD card in her phone because it had the ROM and Magisk on it. I didn't have a spare SD to drop those files on so I just left mine in her phone to avoid copying over to local storage each time.

I wonder if there was some data or artifact on the card which told the phone VOLTE/WiFi Calling was already active because it was on my phone?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] my.ads0:
Wha wha WHA?!?! That's awesome!

But...

So how did you finally get it to work? Did you re-flash it or just pull the SD Card? I just did the latter and that didn't help at all.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] PerCompLLC:
Disabled the two "System updates" apks via titanium (at least on my device) and the nag messages were silenced.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] canestfr:
I only froze the FOTA app and pulled the SD card after reflashing didn't work. I could be one, both, or neither!

Of course I couldn't leave well enough along and accepted an update to Magisk 17 and now I've lost root and get a "unable to repack boot image" when installing Magisk.

Besides reflashing stock boot image I'm really not sure what to do with that one.

So I did a clean install (*) again without my SD card in to try to figure this out. Same issue after the clean install.

HOWEVER!!!!!!

YOUR post got me thinking and you helped me figure out the solution...well, on my phone at least...

I unfroze the FOTA app, ran a check for the update, chose NO to download it, and then froze the FOTA app again and then found that I was able to choose HD Voice and Video Calling!!!

So perhaps that's the solution? Maybe you need to check for the update and then freeze it for the feature to get registered?

If anyone else encounters this, please try to follow those instructions and see what happens.

From my last post...

* - FYI, I think the Magisk update borked my APN setting. And can use some assistance.

I hadn't been able to send pictures through any regular messaging app since sometime before the Magisk update fail (didn't bootloop, just failed install). After playing around with my phone for a while (AND even after a clean flash)...I have found that I need to RESTORE DEFAULT SETTINGS of my APN after EVERY reboot to get picture messaging to work.

Settings --> Mobile Networks --> Access Point Names

Three dots at top right, then choose "Restore Default Settings".

Once that was done, click on VZWINTERNET, then pictures get sent properly again.

EDIT:

So I created a new post in the help section for this. When I KDZ the US998 20a and then flash the VS996 20b, it seems like the Verizon 20b ROM thinks it's still a Sprint rom. When using Textra, it shows a Sprint MMS server. Link to my post laying everything out and asking for help may be useful for others not just in this thread:

[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
Yes, you Frankenstein back to US998 to get fastboot flash commands, the way you did before. You can maybe even just flash the [MENTION=3642089]westwood24[/MENTION] U9998 20D "ROM", like you flashed this "ROM".

I assume you want fastboot flash commands because you want to lock your bootloader and return to stock? Then after doing that, you would need to DL PARTITION back to VS996.

Otherwise with TWRP and root, you have no need for fastboot commands any more. That was really just to unlock bootloader and install TWRP custom recovery..

Yes. US998 includes Verizon bands and more.

So after a month of working flawlessly FOTA Update unfroze and my phone checked for an update. All of the other frozen apps (Slacker, NFL, Verizon bloat) stayed frozen.

Now visual voicemail, hd voice, and video calling no longer work and I can't add them to my line because my device is incompatible. I tried the instructions in your post and no change so I'm counting on installing my sim card in my Verizon branded Droid Turbo to reactivate the features on my line.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] my.ads0:
If I remember correctly...and I must apologize that I might not have added it to my post, that after checking for the OTA update, I think that another update application might have been activated and that I might have had to freeze the TWO apps to prevent the update from re-checking:

FOTA Update 8.0.0

Software Update 8.0.0

I think to be safe, I also froze:

System updates 1_17_02_0

System updates 1_15_10_0

It's really weird, though, that this <i>disabled</i> those features! Sorry if me not putting that in messed up your service. I wouldn't have expected that!

Installing my sim in my Verizon branded Droid Turbo allowed me to add visual voicemail back to my account by calling VZW and it's working fine. HD Voice and WiFi Calling are still not working so I think I'll need to call VZW and play the same game.

I still have the 4 update apps frozen and I'm reluctant to unfreeze them at this point. Maybe I'll live without HD Voice and WiFi calling for a while and see how bad I miss them, if at all.
