Anyone knows how to make an update zip and can teach me how to do it?

New update for our v30.

Also this is good for people who lost DL mode. Now they can take the OTA and get it back.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cj719:
Will taking this OTA restore download mode as stated it would in this thread?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Xblackberryuser:
if you're 100% stock, yes
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] wills3gslide:
If you lost download mode it will bring it back

For the ones that have twrp/download mode:

If the Anti Roll Back(ARB) changed we will have to find another way to root if you flash that update kdz as you will not be able to downgrade to 10d firmware that is needed for root.

I would sit back and wait for one of us to make a flashable zip so you dont loose root and not be able to reroot

---------- Post added at 03:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:04 AM ----------

See you found a solution, anytime you wipe system you will have to flash a rom for it to boot or you will keep rebooting to twrp due to nothing to boot from on system since it was wiped
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Xblackberryuser:
Is it safe to capture on ota url using bug report with root? Its been a while since I've done an ota, can't remember if the download can be cancelled.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] BROKEN1981:
Yes.....
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Gotta love how tmo releases the update yet shows 20k as the most updated version.?

716.1 mb update. That makes me suspicious. It's not 2025 yet so it can't be Android Pie.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] wills3gslide:
Should be able to download it, just dont let it install, capturing it right now via pc, H93220o its only 655.4mb, not a full upgrade

lg bridge enhancement toast:

usability and functionality has been further improved

Thinking this will have a higher ARB which if it is ARB1 or higher as stated before you will not be able to downgrade for root procedure till another procedure comes available
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
I wonder if this will be a LAF security update inside of it with arb 1
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] wills3gslide:
Thinking it will, they found out about root and trying to catch the ones that dont know any better off guard

I'll rip it open and go through it in the next day or 2, had to jump on another machine to capture, my dev station is upgrading repos for RR and AOSPExtended
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] BROKEN1981:
From what I've read from people that took the OTA, there is some AOD improvements and also added features to the camera app.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] wills3gslide:
have them check the ARB version to see if it changed from 0

I googled it and there was only the Lg fan page that came up with no info
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] BROKEN1981:
I'll go back to the thread. Also what are the instructions that I should give them an order to check?

Also since we are rooted, we will not be affected by ARB.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] wills3gslide:
Only through flashable zip

Dont remember off the top of my head but there is a dialer code to hidden menu if I remember correctly gives the ARB version
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] BROKEN1981:
Correct.

---------- Post added at 06:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:35 AM ----------

Also I had @ you with the person who took the OTA.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
No, it won't be Pie. Korean carrier V30 variants will get Pie first. Besides the V40, V35, and G7 ALL getting Pie first before ANY V30.

We'll know MONTHS in advance when we're getting Pie. ;). It won't be a surprise.

I know you're joking, but every time there's a larger security update someone suggests it's a new OS update.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Ya I was definitely joking. Updates usually fall in quarters, last update on Aug 1 and from what I've seen it's usually Dec 1 so I wonder if it is indeed the laf patches they rushed out and threw security updates in it
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
Just a warning. With an update that big, it usually indicates ARB is being incremented since they have to include ALL of the firmware that is RSA signed even if there is no other change to say the modem, or abl, or xbl, or hyp, etc...

I would be real weary about upgrading if you aren't rooted. If someone that IS rooted will let it download and post it somewhere, I will be glad to check to see.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Septfox:
Very unfortunate for those of us holding off 'til Black Friday to grab one, if this turns out to be true. Makes trolling around eBay riskier, some sellers might not be willing to accept a return purely based on a software update having been taken. Particularly if said update doesn't even display in the UI.

Come on, T-Mobile, why do you gotta pull a Verizon like this. You were the chosen one!

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] BROKEN1981:
Ok I found the folder the kdz downloads to. ( Thank you to a random guy on XDA! )

Problem is that it gets to around 90% gives an error and the file disappears.

Can you explain where the kdz disappears to?

I thought it was due to TWRP on LAF, so I flashed laf back.

3 pages in thread -- but I finally got it to work and [MENTION=3475147]SGCMarkus[/MENTION] was extremely helpful! It's how I posted my first US998 Nougat KDZ. Since then, I've just waited for LG-Firmwares.com to post the KDZ...

[MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION] helped me figure out how to capture the KDZ from LG Bridge. How do I go about turning it into a flashable zip? Will the G3 method I found on YouTube still work?

Or is there a new up to date method that needs to be done? I'm only asking because I would love to contribute to the community as well.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] wills3gslide:
As long as you have the .img in root and updaterscript pointing to right location (example by-name/system, Will have to put in full path location of where the images are going to be installed in the updaterscript).

Download a flashable zip and view the files in root and look at the updaterscript to get the format

Sorry delayed responses, at work.

Anything that is official it will have laf.img and recovery.img, dont include them in a flashable zip or you will overwrite your current partitions(ex. Twrp on recovery and TWRP on laf partitions)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
Those ass-clowns have messed with the KDZ format again so I am going to have to fix the extractor ---- again. But I was able to get this:

LGH932AT-00-V20o-TMO-US-OCT-08-2018-ARB00+0

So it is still ARB 0.

EDIT: Until I can get around to figuring out what they did -- you can use the patched LG UP to flash this. Just make sure you uncheck recovery (and laf if you installed TWRP there).

EDIT2: Also, be SURE to immediately boot to TWRP and flash Magisk or if you let your phone boot to the OS recovery-from-boot.p will be back and will wipe out recovery and your phone will be encrypted, so you will lose your data.

EDIT3: Until the KDZ can be extracted and a flashable zip made, I would stay away from this -- or if you really want the security updates -- flash ONLY system.

Are you.in download mode while you are attempting this?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] doantri:
Hi bro

Yes, phone is download mode now
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattgyver:
How are you accessing FWUL? Are you using an FWUL virtual machine inside of Windows (or other host), or are you using a liveUSB and booting to the usb drive?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] doantri:
Hi bro

i'm using an FWUL virtual machine inside of Windows
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] BROKEN1981:
Grab a cheap 8gb USB stick and then do it.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattgyver:
Make sure USB passthrough is enabled in whatever app you're using for the virtual machine. Search this thread for vm. Not a lot of luck doing it that way, but it may work.

Also, make sure your phone is in download mode before FWUL fully boots. Precautionary, but some Linux flavors are funny with mounting external storage like that.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
Did you attach the phone to the VM with the devices menu of VirtualBox? Did you install the extension pack so that you can enable USB2 or 3 in the VM?

-- Brian
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] xt2234:
Anyone run into this? I used a fwul vm and did the extension with usb pass through to my phone, and the vm listed it as the lge v30 h933 but for some reason the adb tools inside the VM would not and just say no device found. I tried booting directly from a usb but no luck. My phone wouldn't beer listed. I tried different cables too but nope. Dev mode is on. Bootloader unlocked. And my usb debugging on but nothing. I'm at the very start of part two,and yes my phone is on download through all of this,when it's normally on it gets detected with no problem
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] BROKEN1981:
When you boot from USB, go into UEFI/bios.

If you are using UEFI, you need to pick the USB drive listed as UEFI. If not using UEFI then ofc pick the USB drive.

When you have UEFI bios, you MUST select (example) scan disk USB 64gb UEFI
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] xt2234:
Dev options lists my bootloader as unlocked, and I've followed every step. Also I'm choosing the right usb... That's not the issue because even my normal windows adb can't detect it in download mode. I was able to patch it with lgup so it doesn't make sense
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] BROKEN1981:
So since you found out that your download was corrupted, is it now safe to flash the KDZ to get the update?

If so, are you supposed to uncheck recovery, recovery.bak LAF and LAF.bak

I know to uncheck recovery and LAF, but I could have sworn I seen both with .bak as well.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
Just wait for the zip which will be posted tomorrow.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ledvedder:
Hi everyone! What issues have users had with this process? Specifically, the 5 users that answered the poll with "I now have a brick". I considering going through this process, but I'm a bit nervous.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattgyver:
The process is safe, really. If I can do it, anyone can :D

We've had people who had issues with bad/generic USB cables. We've had people have it fail because they used FWUL in a VM and didn't have settings right in VirtualBox, or whatever virtualization software they used.

My recommendation is to read the instructions, slowly, all the way through. Read them again. And again. Don't skip over anything. Don't make assumptions about what might happen. Once you've read it enough times to be sure about it, double and triple check that you've made sure your bootloader is unlocked. Make sure all your files are already downloaded and in a spot that is easily accessible. Take your time doing the actual procedure. If you get in a rush, you may accidentally choose h933 kdz instead of h932 kdz, or vice versa. You might forget to uncheck partitions in LG UP if you rush. As long as you step-by-step it (print them out or have them on a secondary machine so you have them on-hand) you'll be fine.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Septfox:
This needs to be stressed because flashing most partitions from other models is a no-no. The H932 uses different RSA keys, and can effectively (or even permanently depending) brick if you accidentally try to crossflash other partitions. The boot process halts at the "bad" partition because of "security" features, regardless of your bootloader unlock status, and you're left various amounts of SOL.

Make sure you have the right KDZ. Make sure again. Redownload the correct KDZ to a different folder and compare hashes. Triple-check! Then check, double-check, and triple-check what you have selected when you flash. 30 seconds of redundancy is better than a brick.

-

[MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION] where is the hash-comparing handled? By completely replacing LAF, do you also disable this idiotic feature and gain the ability to flash any partition with anything, or is it hard-coded into the SoC? Sorry if it's already been asked 30 times across 6 different threads.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
Yes, it is hard coded in the SoC. However, the laf partition isn't RSA signed, it is protected with dm-verity which is ignored when you have an unlocked bootloader.

-- Brian
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Septfox:
Same with Recovery and System, right?

For the radio, couldn't the original partition be loaded up, then somewhere along the boot process a different one (say, the one from US998) be loaded from another partition in a Safestrap-y manner? Or can very basic things like that only be brought up before everything else is loaded?

Not asking you to do it, just curious if it's even possible.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonzey231:
So I followed the OP's recommendation and copied TWRP to LAF as well and now my download mode is gone. I was running Lineage and it was kind buggy so I was just gonna flash RRO instead to try it out and it hung up on the flashing the system so I rebooted recovery and formatted thinking that might help me mount the system and now I have no OS installed, I can't mount the system to flash a rom, and no download mode.

Any ideas? lol
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattgyver:
That's the trade-off - download mode or TWRP on LAF. Can you still boot to recovery? It should be mounting system as read/write unless you didn't swipe to allow system changes the first time you booted TWRP.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonzey231:
Yeah, I can still get to recovery but it won't mount the system and I can't figure out why. Did I seriously just **** myself? Why would OP recommend this?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Delete
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Why would OP recommend this? Think about it. Twrp on regular recovery get borked or overwritten by stock recovery like in my case. I could have easily just booted to twrp via twrp on download mode and reflashed twrp on recovery. But nope, I had to do the entire process all over again .

I didn't get it at first either, but now I sure as hell do after everything got screwed up on me.

Also, on RR, let it sit and install. It takes a while, but it will get done. I think it was about 15 mins
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonzey231:
Question for you. I wrote TWRP to LAF like the OP recommended and after a few bad decisions I formatted my system partition and for SOME reason TWRP can't mount the system to flash a new rom.

So I have TWRP that can't mount system

No installed OS

No download mode

Am I scroogled?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonzey231:
I know it can take a while but it very blatantly says that it can't mount the system. Trying to attach some crappy photos from my Chromebook's front cam lol.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattgyver:
What twrp version do you have installed?

What's the specific error you get when trying to flash a rom, and which ROMs are you trying to flash?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Have you tried flashing stock 10k yet? If you do, DONT FORGET TO FLASH MAGISK AFTER.

Before you do that, what version twrp are you on?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonzey231:
So I let it flash RR for a minute and it obviously wasn't going to make any progress so I just held the Vol Down + Power to reboot back into TWRP but this time when I booted it asked me if I wanted to allow system modifications or mount in read only. WTF I've been screwing with this for hours now and was literally ready to click buy and overnight a 6T and then it just magically works. lol
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] KUSOsan:
Have you gone into mount settings in TWRP and see if you can check system and have TWRP mount it?

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonzey231:
I don't know if I'd say that. I went to a T-Mo store today and played with one for 10 minutes or so and was really impressed. it basically feels like a heavier S9+ in every way., which isn't a bad thing. I just kinda hate how tall and narrow it is, I love the ratio of the V30.

But in terms of sheer speed and smoothness, you can't really beat OP these days. My brother is actually trading is V30 in towards the 6T on Friday lol.

But listen, I love my V30. I use the wide angle almost daily for work while I'm on job sites or auditing new buildings/projects. The only thing that would make the V30 better physically would be front speakers, but then you have huge bezels like the Pixel 2 XL.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Twrp is a very capable piece of software. You can even flash a system image through it. Back in the day when Samaung phones were easy to root, I don't remember ever going through an issue like yours while twrp is on my phone. I'd literally delete everything on the phone to the your point (no system) then just flash a rom and everything works. I don't know about your case. Lg is different from Samsung. You can always sideload something on twrp via an OTG or the SD card and flash it through it. I don't know what it is, but some of the experts might be able to chime in here.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Well, go to that link and you'll see OnePlus 6T has no premium features --not 1440p, no IP rating, no Qi wireless charging, no microSD card, no headset jack. It's a nothing phone. It's a downgrade and eliminates every feature I like about the V30. Whereas S9+ you mention IS a premium phone: 1440p, Qi wireless charging, microSD card, headset jack, IP68 (like V30). I would rather you get a Samsung Galaxy S9/S9+/Note 9 before you got a crappy OnePlus. I detest them almost as much as Apple, for the same reasons. But at least Apple has Qi wireless charging now.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] BROKEN1981:
LoL! Sometimes you forget and quickly remember when you see the error.

In my experience, it would flash and tell me "can't mount system". Then I would click to reboot into system. I would get " no OS installed". Reboot anyways and volla, I can set up my phone. So yeah, if you don't want a "can't mount system" every time you wipe dalvik and cache, flash a mod, you need to format first.
