regarding laf: the guide should be changed, an addition would be useful, something like

before you install twrp on laf, do a backup of this partition (dd)

this way would enable you restoring laf via twrp flashimg function

maybe this helps some ppl who are lost in twrp and want laf back :D
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] BROKEN1981:
LoL if they are lost in TWRP, maybe they should not have root.

Either way, good point!

Running has a flashable zip for latest update
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] weakNPCdotCom:
Its listed as a security update. :confused:
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] BROKEN1981:
It's a bit more then that.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] seadersn:
hmm, when i think about it: no-encrypt (or better, opt encrypt) is not really "needed" in that manner? now with a twrp which can decrypt userdata. that's the only reason this zip exists, isn't it? or, no, it's there to give at least a choice, if you want to encrypt your phone or not. default should be off, sure, give the user the choice if yes or no and not force him.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] yebbey2:
man, i'm so happy this finally worked for me. I had to get another phone from the seller b/c the first one had KillSwitch activated for some reason and I couldn't get to twrp. The seller sent me a new phone and the process worked perfectly. So thankful for this walk through.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
But initially the OP had old [MENTION=3475147]SGCMarkus[/MENTION] TWRP listed, until about a week ago. So, it was necessary.

Also users can also turn encryption back on in TWRP if they want, right? And set a password.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] [Cruzer]:
Question on getting TWRP on laf.. Can we flash it via TWRP on recovery? I see in TWRP you can flash on laf/DL partition or is that totally different.?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] seadersn:
no :D not in twrp, that's ROM related. yep, sure, they've got the choice; and it's better to give this choice! i meant, technically this zip isn't needed anymore :) :good:
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] seadersn:
yes, you can :good:
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Usually security updates are 120 to 320mb-ish (give or take) and this one is 721 mb so something is up here, we just don't know
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] weakNPCdotCom:
anything that might make me want to update?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] BROKEN1981:
AOD and some other improvements. Also why would you not? Running made a zip to flash in TWRP.

I just realized that I can't use Google Pay while rooted. Even when hiding it with Magisk.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattgyver:
Bank doesn't support Google Pay?

I know I'm using Pay fine. Rooted, and have it hidden in Magisk Manager 6.0.1.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ledvedder:
It worked fine before I rooted.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattgyver:
It will work fine before you root. It checks for unlocked bootloaders and root. Which version of magisk Manager do you have installed? Also, what is happening that you know Pay isn't working?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Are you running the latest update?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattgyver:
I upgraded just to see. Not seeing much "above the hood" but if anyone wants me to check anywhere, let me know.

Well that's good to know. I am wondering if it's placed an RSA Sig on LAF or something because att and Verizon's update is 320mb and our is 721mb.

20o
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattgyver:
Open Magisk Manager from your app drawer > hamburger button/settings button in the upper left corner, then tap on About. If you aren't on 6.0.1, hide might crash. It should tell you about updating the Manager app if you aren't up to date, too.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ledvedder:
6.0.1
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattgyver:
And Google Pay is already marked as hidden? By chance, did you open Pay BEFORE hiding it? IIRC, you need to uninstall Pay (wiping data might be enough) hide it, then open it.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattgyver:
Yeah, and one of the things I've read about the update is that it had something to do with a factory reset protection bypass vulnerability.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ledvedder:
Wiping data didn't work. How can I uninstall Google Pay?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
You can always use titanium backup to force uninstall the app and then restart, download it again from the play store but first try the play store to see if it'll let you uninstall it there
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattgyver:
Even with system apps, if you go into settings > apps > Google pay, you can tap uninstall updates and it should be enough.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ledvedder:
I did that.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattgyver:
Man. You've got me stumped now!

Hardcore test would be wipe user data and start from scratch :D hmm.....

Hi, I see there is newer TWRP for this model ??

[RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP 3.2.3-6 Nov. 2, 2018

https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-3-0-time-date-incl-t3852402

can we flash this to our H932?

is there any stock base bloatware free ROM to put on?

I flashed this rom

https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/development/rom-h932-oreo-v20o-stock-twrp-t3863202

but I found bloatware running on the background I try to disable them but then it start to cause FC
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
That's the stock rom. If you delete bloat, it can force close until you restart your phone. When I delete Google Movies with Titanium Backup, it force closes until I restart.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] zfk110:
I used ES File Explorer File Manager with root then I go to system apps and then I delete all those LG, Google bloatware, after I restart no more FC for any of thsoe apps since they all are gone, but when I try to use Theme store I get FC on theme store. thats why I was looking for stock base bloatware free rom out there?

also can we update TWRP on this? other thing in TWRP there is option called Vendor under advance wipe can we include Vendor wipe before putting any ROM? for being a safe side I didn't wipe Vendor option, I'm newbie on LG since I used Samsung all my life.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] seadersn:
yep, that's actualized version :good: usable for every model.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] BROKEN1981:
Yes

That's stock ROM.

Since it seems you don't know what you are doing, I attached a screenshot of 2 magisk module that are extremely helpful.

For debloat, it will save what ever you deleted in case you messed up. Link for the the app that needs to go with it

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.termux

MM is a module that's nice to have. If you install a magisk module that causes bootloops, you go into recovery and use that module to delete or disable it.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] invert_nexus:
I'm curious.

Do you have to use a usb stick? Could you burn the iso to a dvd and boot from there?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
You can use any of the methods that are supported by the FWUL thread .. so yes.

-- Brian
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] invert_nexus:
Excellent. I'm about to bite the bullet and a bootable dvd would be easier for me.

Another question then. Since the iso (forgetful) is only around 1 GB then why is it required to have an 8 GB or greater usb stick?

I don't have a usb stick, but I do have an sd card reader and 2 and 4 GB sd cards out the yin yang. To use one 8 or greater I'd have to clear out one of my 32 GB cards i use for storage in my phone.

Edit:

Never mind. I see now. I've looked deeper into the FWUL thread and see now that persistent mode requires at least an 8 GB stick but comes in three flavors: 8GB, 15GB and 30GB. I see now that if I use the smaller forgetful mode, then my 2GB card will work fine although I wonder at speed.

Anyway. Question answered. I'd assumed that the answer was something along these lines but like to get confirmation. I just hadn't seen the persistent mode FAQ earlier.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] newbcake:
I think I hard-bricked as well. But I'm pretty sure I know why. When I had to flash the kdz (second-round), I accidentally chose the 933 kdz again. Welp, new phone time I guess
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Yup that's a pretty good reason why. Just call tmo and have them send you a warranty exchange. Why? Cause F- lg for not giving us the files to fix hard bricks ourselves
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] newbcake:
Will they even honor warranty if I already unlocked the bootloader?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Yes they will. Plus they won't even be able to tell cause it won't power on anyway. Just don't go out and volunteer any info though. Just say you don't know what happened or it did it after installing the new update
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] newbcake:
Awesome, thanks

It seems like the link for the patched LG UP is down. Also im on the newest firmware 20o , Is that ok since we have to downgrade to 10d anyways? Thanks for the work you put into this.

Very first step. Nothing will work unless you do this first
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] carlosjcar:
Hi guys I have been searching and I think Im out of lock so just to confirm.

I lost download and TWRP, I pretty much commited the same mistake others have. Anyway cant LGup and cant sideload. I relocked the bootloader and reset the phone to Factory. I have to wait for a new ota (hoping ARB is not increased) and try again without doing the same stupid mistake.

Im hoping you tell me some mean remark like:" search moron theres a fix in some post" but, I think im SOL.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] wireeater:
Nope. You're gonna have to wait. It's a shame there isn't a way of tricking the servers to push OTA updates to the device even if it has been installed.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] carlosjcar:
Well, my fault amyways. At least it still usable. And for some reasom this is the first phone in a while that connects ypy Clarion CX501 Head unit without skips and freezes. My V20 would skip or stop and resume playimg ever 15 aeconds or so. That happened with my olf Nexus 6, most samsungs including S8 and note 8. Only the Oneplus 5t, Iphone 7Plus and this Lg V30 have connected to Bluetooth without issues to my head unit.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] newbcake:
So question. I thought the no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0 removed the "Unlocked Bootloader" warning? I managed to flash it in TWRP but it doesn't remove it. Unless I am wrong.

Also, I'm trying to do this step, but when I go to TWRP>ADB Sideload, it does not see any devices.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
No, those are two totally separate things and I don't think you can get rid of that unlock notice anyway.

---------- Post added at 07:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 AM ----------

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] newbcake:
Ah okay, I updated my post btw about another question. Getting TWRP on laf...

EDIT: Nvm turns out I had to enable ADB in the OS first.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
With the latest twrp, you can do this within TWRP itself now in the advanced tab . Just FYI for next time
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] newbcake:
I could not figure out how. Devices were not being listed.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattgyver:
We won't be able to remove the triangle warning about unlocked bootloaders. That's an image file in aboot (if I've read up on it correctly). Since aboot needs to be signed, the second you try modifying it, if you could, you wouldn't be able to re-sign it to put it back on to your v30. If I'm right, at least...
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] wireeater:
What are you talking aboot?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattgyver:
[IMG="TaxiDriver"]https://media.giphy.com/media/7fHixyGYIsKyI/giphy.gif[/IMG]

That unlocked bootloader warning is stored in the aboot partition. no touchy touchy. Unless it's stored in the raw-resources partition. Either way, I'd be wary of trying to change it, unless you've got a complete backup in case it goes boom.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
It is stored in raw_resources but abl (what used to be aboot) loads that partition. One person already bricked their phone by messing with it.

-- Brian
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] newbcake:
I'm just curious. I did the oreo update after I set up some apps on my phone, my launcher, etc. And then I did a TWRP backup of everything. But during the Oreo update, I accidentally wiped with stock Recovery, but now I am back to TWRP/Magisk running, but fresh OS again. Is it possible to restore just the apps through TWRP or do I have to download them again?

Also, anyone have any trouble getting Netflix to run? It says my password is wrong but I know it's not (checked on desktop to make sure). If I create a new account, it signs in, but once i sign out, I cannot sign back in.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] BROKEN1981:
Not to be harsh, but that person did kinda ask for a brick. With all the knowledge you spread around, I'm just dumbfounded that people refuse to listen.

Also who really cares that it's a bootloader warning? It's not like it's a horrible pink screen. LMFAO

Just curious, why cant we "fastboot flash recovery Twrp.img" ? we can unlock the bootloader with fastboot oem unlock. Why it fastboot flashing not available?

---------- Post added at 12:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 AM ----------

Im searching but if you can point me in the direction Ill appreciate it
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] seadersn:
because tmob wants their bootloader limited without fastboot commands :good:
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Go ahead and try it. :)

Most of the other North America V30 variants also do not have fastboot flash commands -- but you can Frankenstein convert them to open market US998, which does.

You can't do that with T-Mobile H932, as it alone has different RSA encryption.

That's why every V30/V30+/V30S on the planet -- EXCEPT for H932 -- can use the WTF method. They all have fastboot flash commands or you can temporarily convert them to variant which does. H932 is an island by itself.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] inuyasha1999:
If you haven't already, you may want to try using Magisk Hide from within Magisk Manager to hide root from Netflix. It was one of the first ones I added as soon as I rooted, and haven't had any issues. I remember Netflix changing something to where rooted devices couldn't download Netflix, but not sure if it would keep you from signing in if you were able to download it. I think they made that change last year. It's worth a shot if you haven't already tried it.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
People had said that, but I never had a problem downloading Netflix. Even if they blocked us all from downloading it from the play store, the latest APK will/can be found on here.

If youre smart enough to root your phone, then you know how to get around redundant stupid decisions app devs make.

Edit:. I think I may be putting way too much faith in people lol
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Can you guys verify something for me? I heard even unlocking the bootloader knocks the widevine DRM to L3. Yet I'm on L1 with my rooted v30 and also bone stock 6t.

Can some people verify for me what you have? I had to download DRM info on the play store to check mine.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] seadersn:
it's ok with unlocked bootloader, L1 shown too. even on aosp builds this is the case (when liboemcrypto.so is included ;)).
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
That's good, thank you. Some false info going around in another forum. Do you know what triggers L3? I didn't even know about widevine until yesterday
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] seadersn:
i think (don't know), that an unlocked bootloader will trigger it, when magisk is not installed. with magisk it's no problem, looks like it fools the system and tells it everything is okay and unchanged.

Man I appreciate that! I was able to restore broken download mode without having to wait for an official update :)

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 PM ----------

I have been testing different things for the last 2 weeks when having time at work etc because I broke my DL mode when I forgot to unlock the bootloader through the OS when OEM unlocking/twrping (I have rooted/unrooted this phone way too many times now...). I figured there had to be a way. Being I love to troubleshoot things and break them, I tried many stupid and dangerous things to see how I could get it restored. I wasn't too worried about bricking it because if I did I have a few lines to upgrade anyways. I have a solution for download mode restore (need to be able to boot into the O/S). I will collect my notes and files needed first and post them up when I have time. This will fix anyone who lost download mode with a bootable phone.
