[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] BHB78:
Strange. I unfroze the FOTA and update services, manually checked for update. Got HD voice and video calling, wifi calling, all the bells and whistles of VZW working. Then refroze them. Everything still working. I couldn't get video calling to work until I manually checked for update:confused:After trying the native VZW video calling, Google DUO works better from the couple calls I made.

That was about a month ago and I dirty flashed my data from the a US998 build. Not sure if that makes a difference or maybe the network patched things to reject crossflashed phones.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] canestfr:
So I bit the bullet, unfroze the 4 update apps, checked for an update (none available), and tried to activate HD Voice and got a "We encounter a problem activating Advanced Calling" message. Net, no change and I'm going to leave it alone.

I'll check out Google DUO. Thanks for the recommendation.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] newbe1droidx:
So taking the Verizon ota left bootloader unlocked and rooted?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] canestfr:
No OTA update was available so none was taken but this unfreeze/check process did remove Visual Voicemail from my phone so I'm back to square one.

Nuts.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] BHB78:
I guess I was lucky to get wifi calling, hd/video advanced calling, and visual voicemail working with a dirty flash using my data from US998 build.

Might try PhoneFusion Voicemail. It is handy when Visual Voicemail isn't functional. DUO works better than integrated video calling in my opinion.

I do like knowing things are functional even if I choose not to use them by choosing DUO or PhoneFusion instead of stock VZW.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] my.ads0:
Can someone on this ROM and, obviously, on the Verizon network, please do me a favor and check a specific xml file and let me know what a specific key's value is?

File: root/data/data/com.android.mms/shared_prefs/HIDDEN_SETTINGS.xml

Key: <string name='pref_key_mmsc_url'>

Background: I can't send MMS using stock text messagi'ng apps. Neither AndrIoid Messenger or Messages works. I can get Textra to work, but only by manually setting the MMS APN to the Verizon MMS gateway. I'm trying to find where my faulty MMS APN setting is being stored. I want to see if this might be the culprit.

Thanks.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Geekzilla:
I have a Frankenstein ls998 that was flashed to us998 and subsequently clean flashed with this ROM. I don't use the stock text message apps so can't attest to how those are working, but Textra works great for me also.

[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] my.ads0:
Thanks, Geekzilla. This is the same key that I have, which obviously doesn't match what our mms server should be. Tell me, in Textra, are you setting your own mms url or does Textra just work without having to set it?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Geekzilla:
For me Textra just works for SMS and MMS. I was also surprised to see that Sprint reference.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] my.ads0:
Crap. Well then, this might not be the smoking gun I was looking for. I might try to change it anyway one night when I'm actually awake enough to not do something wrong.

Thanks again for your help. I'll keep looking.

[MENTION=4993913]my.ads0[/MENTION] - See if changing this <string name="pref_key_mmsc_url">http://mms.sprintpcs.com</string> manually to <string name="pref_key_mmsc_url">http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms</string> makes any difference. I'm using Verizon's Messaging app though, and haven't been having any trouble - even when I had straight US998 20d/e firmware.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] my.ads0:
I tried this. After testing a number of things, I believe that this value is being pulled from somewhere else. First, even when I save it and confirm that the verizon value sticks, a reboot puts it back to the sprint text.

Additionally, if I change this value and try to text before rebooting, so the verizon text stays, it still won't send.

I think I/we need to find the real location that this value is being pulled from.

*******************************

The verizon app of course uses the verizon apns. I'm sure they're internally set.

The textra app allows me to use it because I can set the apns.

The funny thing that I remember about all of this is that, if I remember correctly, using the default messaging apps on the US998 rom worked fine! Then, after upgrading to Westwood's VS996, it stopped working!
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] my.ads0:
After a minor heart attack, I think I fixed this.

Can someone do me a favor and navigate back into:

root/data/data/com.android.mms/shared_prefs

...and let me know if you can see a file named com.android.mms_preferences.xml?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] gimpy1:
Yes, I have that file. I tried to take a screen shot, but can't load it to xda.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] gimpy1:
Finally got it to upload. Here is a screen shot of it.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] my.ads0:
After a lot of sleuthing, and some subsequent testing, I found that the default APN settings for MMS messaging is saved in:

\root\data\data\com.android.mms\shared_prefs\com.a ndroid.mms_preferences.xml​

Now, there's a lot of other stuff in there, and I didn't feel comfortable changing things around in that file, so I used another program, Shortcut Master Lite, from the XDA forums, to search for those hidden settings.

In ShortcutMaster Lite, I clicked the hamburger (3-dot) button choose App Explorer.

I scrolled down to and clicked on Messaging (com.android.mms)

I scrolled to the bottom and clicked on MmsSprintSettingActivity

I clicked on Launch

There I was able to see what the default MMS settings are. In my case, this was still set to the Sprint URL, https:/mms.sprintpcs.com, and some fancy Gateway and Port.

I changed these values to match up with Verizon's MMS settings, so I set the URL to http://mms.vtext.com/servelets/mms, and then left Gateway and Set Port blank. After saving this, the phone IMMEDIATELY rebooted on it's own. After a brief heart attack, the phone rebooted and .... whaBAM! Both Messaging and Messenger work fine now!

I posted instructions in the Guide section as well. That can be found here.

Thanks for your assistance, everybody.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Raistlen0:
Is the OTA anything substantial that maybe we should request it be worked into this ROM?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] hybridfantiii:
Just wanted to report that installing and running Magisk 17.3 Beta on this ROM, restored Magisk Hide functionality. It "might" have to do with fixing the bug about logcat failures when /system/bin is magic mounting, but this is pure speculation at this point.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
First which "OTA" are you talking about? We will never use an OTA. OTA just a partial image update. We will wait for the full image KDZ to be released. It probably is already available, if you're talking about it. However, according to

online sources, the newest VS996 KDZ is still 20D

. If there's an OTA, the KDZ will be released soon.

This is a full image KDZ VS996 20D, built as a ROM. It's just stock firmware. If some update was "worked" into this stock 20D, it would no longer be 20D. ;)

What you're really asking is for [MENTION=3642089]westwood24[/MENTION] to create a new ROM based on another full image KDZ. He's done it twice before with H930, twice before with US998, and once with VS996.

These are not ROMs meant to be "updated" -- they are just pure stock firmware built from KDZ in TWRP-flashable format.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Raistlen0:
Not sure. I just froze the update software last-night because I was sick of getting prompted everyday. Getting the computer to recognize my phone again was a huge issue. Trying all kinds of USB resetting and driver uninstalls until I decided to try a new cord. Go figure:p

I assume based on the Verizon site there are two newer versions VS996E and VS996F, so I assume it would have been one of these. I don't know if it has to update in order, or if it just jumps to the latest one.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
Hmmmm... I can search for VS996 20E and VS996 20F KDZ. If we find them, you can always install them with dev patched LGUP.

You would use DL PARTITION, but UNcheck the recovery partitions to keep TWRP. You would then reflash Magisk and the no encryption, no root check files.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Raistlen0:
And out of curiosity if I would have taken the OTA does anything with recovery happen? Or, would it have just failed?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
1) Full image firmware is always better than partial image OTA. Much safer since your are installing the entire firmware. Even if you're not bootloader unlocked and have no desire to do so.

2) With TWRP custom recovery, an OTA will (hopefully) never install. At best, it would wipe out TWRP to replace with stock recovery and you would also lose root. At worst, if it halfway installed, it could brick your phone.

Good news is it should fail to install. But you should freeze all the OTA stuff with Titanium Backup.

Over in the Droid Turbo forum we warned people to NEVER take OTA updates. Never. Even those not rooted who didn't want to root. To wait for the full image to be released. Much safer. We saw bricks with bad OTA updates. So, after three years over there it's strange over here to see people trying to install OTAs. It's like Bizarro world.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
According to LG, VS996 20D was a "maintenance" release (presumably fixed something), while 20E and 20F are just "security update" releases.

https://www.lg.com/us/support/product-help/CT10000027-20150600137024-software-updates

I cannot find VS996 20E and 20F KDZ online anywhere. Very strange.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] careingemt:
Hello,

I'm on Verizon and have a vs996 lgv30 interested in flashing this stock rom

Just so I understand... I'm on Oreo ... Download the twrp.zip(20D) flash in twrp then flash Magisk in twrp

[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
This was released in mid-June and has May security update.

It's the latest KDZ available online.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jaedenhudson14:
I just want to make sure this works before I pull the plug on it. I do not see why it would not work, but I am just being cautious. I currently have a VS996 with US99820B installed. Am I able to dirty flash this? If not dirty flash, clean flash?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
Flash it like you would a ROM. Clean flash is best.

The instructions say you can try dirty flashing, but if you're coming from another variant like US998 that's at your own risk.

Make TWRP backup first. Make sure you're on the most recent TWRP listed in the WTF instructions.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] my.ads0:
Dirty flash worked fine for me when I did it. At worst, it doesn't work and you clean flash.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] gimpy1:
I clean flash every different Rom. Going from 998 to 996 or vice versa, clean flash. Going from dotos to RR or to aex or whatever, I clean flash. That's the way I was taught to avoid any unexpected problems.

The first app I install from the play store is titanium backup pro. I then restore all my other apps (about 30 or so) from there.

My phone is originally a Verizon vs996.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] my.ads0:
Yep. Clean flashing is the way to go, for sure. However, there's no harm in trying to dirty flash and seeing if it works and how he likes the ROM. At best, you're good to go! At worst, you find something not working and clean flash.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] chewybang:
Noob question: just went from LS998 to US998 to VS998 using Frankenstein. I installed Magisk in the process to root; however, when I installed Titanium backup it says it didn't have root. Do I need to flash encryption disabler and root disabler in order to get root? I'm not sure what I missed.

TIA

I just bought an ebay refurbished LS998 V30+ that came with US998 nougat installed.

Im looking to convert to VS996 for use on Verizon, and update to Oreo. Do I just follow the process described in the OP?

Thanks for all your support
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
Please clarify...

Besides converting to VS996 Oreo, do you also want to unlock bootloader and root, or only convert to VS996 with Oreo?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] big_sea:
Thanks for the quick reply Chazz!

No need for root, just wanting to get the up to date Oreo installed and the VS996 rom installed to avoid voiecmail and MMS issues.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
OK, for that goal -- with your US998 Nougat -- then all you need is to use Dev Patched LGUP and flash latest VS996 KDZ from this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/development/vs996-lg-v30-verizon-vs996-t3865398

Dev Patched LGUP is attached to post #1 of that thread. Pay attention on how/where to install. Use DL PARTITION mode to flash. You also may need to Master Reset, but maybe not.

At this point in time, VS996 20G in that thread is the latest KDZ.

You're basically doing Frankenstein, but to VS996. You can go straight from Nougat US998 to Oreo VS996.

For future KDZ updates past VS996 20G, you will use Dev Patched LGUP in "Upgrade" mode and will keep all your data, etc. But this first time to convert to VS996, you need to overwrite the partitions. So this first time you will wipe all your data.

________

If you had wanted bootloader unlock and root, you would have upgraded temporarily from your US998 Nougat to early US998 Oreo (20A or 20B), then flashed our WTF bootloader unlock code, installed TWRP and rooted. THEN, you would have flashed a VS996 TWRP-flashable zip "ROM" (similar to the one in this thread) to finish converting to VS996 while still keeping TWRP custom recovery. Then, reflash Magisk.

The VS996 20D "ROM" in this thread is just a TWRP-flashable version of the VS996 20D KDZ, but is not the most current firmware. We have a TWRP-flashable ZIP of VS996 20G... But you will not be using that since you will not have bootloader unlock and TWRP. Instead you will just be flashing the VS996 20G KDZ.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] ryan7646:
Hi,

It's me again. I've been playing with my phone lately and I decided to go back to miui10 already. I wanted to keep some few things though.

1. Can I keep twrp and install incremental update with breaking twrp?

2. I rooted the phone and install magisk. Can I also keep magisk without breaking the incremental updates or cause my phone to bootloop?

3. if twrp is not possible. Can I keep magisk at least?

4. If all else fails. How do I flash miui 10 with clean install and probably leave my bootloader unlocked? Yes.I unlocked it unofficially because I cannot sign in to my miui account on the phone. Keeps giving me an error.

5. If all those choices are not possible then how do I perform a clean install like nothing was done to the phone? I like miui10 as it looks clean and fluid.

Please enlighten me.
