[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lensmonkey:
I am having a miserable time with this coming from PIE. I could not get the original post LGup to work so I tried mrjackspade #1753 LGUP_DualMode.zip and downgraded to 10d successfully. I battled the bootloader unlocking procedure. The adb devices would or would not show the phone. I used "fastboot oem unlock" and it looked like nothing happened. when I rebooted it stuck on LGV30 logo. I then tried just pressing and holding vol down and power which only brought me to the unsafe unlocked bootloader screen and would press to continue and get stuck on the LGV30 logo again. I found the dance to hold vol down until it briefly shut off and quickly re pressed the same buttons then lifted my finger off the power button and re aplied it once the LGV30 logo returned holding down until factory reset options showed. I did that factory process. The phone booted properly after showing me the warning screen. Confirmed unlock. Then used LGup to flash H933 10h KDZ to partition. LGup said "finished". but it just got stuck on LGV30 screen again. Now the finger dance will again get me to factory data reset screen, but it will just get stuck on the LGV30 screen again even if I try to reset. Any Ideas ? I am gratful for any advice or suggestions...thanks

More Info: I went through the whole factory reset dance just now, and in the 1 second of black screen after the factory reset after the swirly erasing animation(about 2 seconds) I held down the up vol and quickly stabbed in the usb cord Eureka! I got to download and started LGup and partition flashed h93210d on all but the laf. The phone has rebooted properly. yey. But how can I tell if i am still using the new H933 10h laf? should I proceed?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lensmonkey:
OK I did proceed with the page one instructions. And I have verified root. yey! I hope my experience with the odd hiccups will prove useful for someone. I have a few simplequestions if anyone can enlighten me. I found the keeping a copy of TWRP on the laf partition a bit confusing. Where do I download TWRP to? I downloaded and renamed, then opened a command prompt and entered adb push twrp.img /sdcard/ and adb shell dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/laf and got no result but errors. Should I be opening ADB? I tried that and it also did not give results. Also. If I put H932 laf back on will I not be able to use that twrp if I ever figure out how to get it on there? Lastly, going back to Oreo now after rooting, how do I do that and keep root? I promise I have read a huge amount, and would not ask but I am a bit unclear on it. thank you. Edit: After flashing this, you MUST flash Magisk again or you will lose TWRP and root -- and your data will be encrypted, and have to use lafsploit all over again. So boot to TWRP. Flash this zip ,Flash Magisk.

Last Oreo (20s) TWRP flashable zip is here:

https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/development/stock-t-mobile-lg-v30-stock-collection-t3917560

Do NOT update to stock Pie TWRP-flashable zip until you understand the consequences.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lensmonkey:
Thanks. I was reading that page when you replied. I am trying to understand whether I should just download the debloated w/magisk zip, and flash it with TWRP, or whether I need to flash modems and bootloader and all the clean install process. I need to get to at least 20r as my goal is the dts 3d stereo, which I experienced in the g7 and was really remarkable. I gave that phone up because the wider lens on the v30 with the gcam is a gem (I am a photographer), and from what I've tested, sharper. But the damn camera is best on PIE, and the DTS needs root to work.

Need help with LGUP

LGUP is not detecting my phone on download mode? What am I missing? I have already tried installing the LG Universal USB Driver.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
If I remember correctly the best way is to flash the full version, reboot then flash the debloated.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lensmonkey:
Thanks for the info sir. I have just been looking at the Pie thread and since all I really wanted out of root was the DTS, and the Gcam works best on PIE what would be the downside of flashing that zip? I confess I do not have the time for testing ROMs right now, though it is fun. Am I overlooking something?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Depends on how you intend to play the DTS. Poweramp does not work with DTS on Pie. Some other audio players do work:

I don't use Gcam, but Pie isn't needed for Gcam unless you are thinking about something I am not. We've had Gcam since Oreo. I helped start the cstark Gcam thread. Maybe the newest Gcam with least issues need Pie? I don't know.

Issues with stock Pie:

1) LOS16-based "Pie" custom ROMs don't work right once phone is updated to stock Pie. I have clear warning in every Pie KDZ thread I maintain. Even if you downgrade back to stock Oreo, if try to install LOS 16 "Pie" custom ROM you then have run a permissive kernel for camera or flashlight to work and even then some other sensors may be messed up (when running those custom ROMs).

2) T-Mobile H932 is not (yet) compatible with the new "Android 10" LOS-17 custom ROMs. But even if they were...

"Android 10" LOS-17 custom ROMs are still work in progress. Wi-Fi issues, features missing, other bugs, etc. Yet you HAVE to update to stock Pie first to install those new ROMs. You decide you don't like them? Well, now you've degraded your ability to run the stable LOS-16 "Pie" ROMs.

3) On stock Pie, some apps we like to use like Shortcut Master won't work.

Bottom line, right now there's nothing currently in stock Pie that's better than most recent stock Oreo. Except for the minor upgrade to UX8.0. But it doesn't look any different. The camera is the same, etc.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lensmonkey:
excellent points. Thanks for taking the time to point them out. I was using the gcam on oreo with this V30. When I upped to PIE,there is just a version with nice libs and quick response, lens switching and features that was pain free, and versatile. The camera section is why I took the V30 over the G7 which I really liked overall, but I find the 120 degree view on V30 more compelling and useful than the 107 degree of the G7. Plus I had two copies of the G7 both with the wide lens out of registration and blurry up close! I will go Oreo 20s then for the versatility and explore the various gcams. Is there a reliable daily driver ROM you recommend that has the DTX? Edit: I see you are a proponent of stock rooted, so you can keep LG camera functionality. Makes sense. I want that too. So it looks like 20s then.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lensmonkey:
I am on a h932 t-mobile V30, now all spiffily rooted and sporting 20s. Is there still an anxious magisk module that works for this phone available?I was keen to try V30_v328, but I cannot find a mirror. Anyone feeling generous? :)

LGUP Error

Firstly, thank you OP for the hard work on this one.

I am however running into an issue. I cannot flash the 10d kdz in LGUP, successfully. I keep getting this error message:

Error: 0x81000302, Please use latest DLL

LAF Protocol version is not match

DLL = 0 Device = 0

128294944

I have followed every step precisely. I've researched all over this site, and others, with no defining solution.

I'm using the patched LGUP zip that the dev posted. The folder is in the correct location on my system. Phone is in download mode. LGUP shows my phone version, port, and status. Everything seems to look aces, but as soon as I start the flashing process, I get that error message.

Any help?

Thanks!
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
I'm betting you had updated to stock Pie? If so, to downgrade you need the newer Dev Patched LGUP. See the T-Mobile H932 KDZ thread. Post #3. Read the installation instructions carefully. Uninstall any prior version.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79971617&postcount=3

That post is mostly about downgrading to Oreo, but that's not important. It's the new Dev Patched LGUP that you need from that post.

___

[MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION], people will need this newer, better Dev Patched LGUP now that Pie has come... Can you change the link in your instructions?

Or actually, just add that extra step? See next post below. They will still need the old one, too!
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheDannemand:
[MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION] is spot on: Once you have upgraded to Pie, you need the new LGUP to roll back from Pie.

BUT that's not all: Once you used that new LGUP to roll back to Nougat 10d, you THEN have to use the original LGUP from the opening post to flash the H933 laf and the remaining root steps.

If you read back the last few pages of this thread, you will find discussion of that exact situation.

The steps were posted earlier in the thread. Sorry, I don't have time to search for them, but I'd say around early spring.

If you're on the latest Oreo 20s it's pretty straightforward, as that OTA file is somewhere in here (I posted a link to it some months ago)

If you upgraded to Pie it may be more tricky, as I haven't seen that OTA file posted here yet. It was discussed and asked for in another thread. Again, I don't have time to find it for you, but there are only a few H932 threads.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] proldan91:
Thank you for your swift response. You are spot on. I did update to Pie. Makes sense now.

I did find the other post regarding this same issue, but somehow overlooked it last night during my thread searches, my apologies.

Thank y'all.

Edit: Thank you TheDannemand, as well, for confirming.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] STEPHENAZAR14:
i found the update.zip file but no instructions on how to force flash the older link with instructions on how to force flash is not working
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheDannemand:
Glad you found the update file. The force flashing is done with LGUP in FOTA mode. I've never done it myself, but the instructions were posted in this thread. You'll just have to search harder.

Edit: OK this is the post by [MENTION=3805155]wireeater[/MENTION] with the instructions to recover Download mode. Unfortunately the link to his Google drive is dead. Hopefully he'll see this ping and update it.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] STEPHENAZAR14:
Well I already tired the FOTA method and it fails the phone goes through the process until it restarts starts installing update for a second then error and there is the android man with an exclamation mark on it I'm on h93220p and I don't think the bootloader is unlocked... My brother basically messed up the phone by following the wrong instructions and skipped the unlock the bootloader part of the process is there Is anything else anyone could suggest I'd be so happy thank you in advance
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheDannemand:
You didn't describe what had been done to the phone and what you had tried. I assumed you were on latest stock ROM with lost Download mode, since that's when people need to force flash OTA.

Just to make sure: You tried Download mode, and can't get to it right?

If the phone is on stock 20p you should be able to simply take the OTA that's being offered. As I recall, there's both a 20r and a 20s, and either of them should fix your download mode.

BL unlock or not shouldn't affect OTA. However if the phone isn't stock, OTA won't work. Using LGUP FOTA won't make a difference in that case.

I'm going to redo the whole thing again later. No matter how many times I try the button combo, it just shows this.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
It stayed on that damn screen acting like it was frozen for a good minute or more for me and after TWRP installed it restarted 2 or 3 times, I don't know why. How much time are you giving it?

That's friggin hilarious right there? you should also open a 1800 tech support line lol.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
That is always going to be shown because your bootloader is unlocked.

Ignore that warning and press and hold vol down + power. When the LG logo appears, release and then press and hold power (never let go of vol down) until you get to the factory reset screen.

Ignore any warnings and keep holding the buttons. You only let go of power for the split second that the LG logo appears.

Once the factory reset screen appears, you can let go of both buttons.

[ROOT] H932 - lafploit 1.5 up to v20k (but you MUST downgrade to v10d)

Okay so just to be clear, volume down and power, release both but hold down power again within like a second. Just keep holding power down as it keeps showing that screen over and over?

---------- Post added at 12:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 PM ----------

OOOOH! I am meant to hold the volume down button the whole time? After I released both, I just held power.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Yes!!!!! And it will pause on that corruption screen if you hold power. Sounds like you figured it out ?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Septembersrain:
Didn't work. LOL

Well okay, going to redo whole process. Later. My stitches from my surgery are overwhelming right now.

Question, how do I get the device in download mode before FWUL comes on? It has to be plugged in to start it.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
It doesn't have to be in download mode before FWUL starts. It only has to be in download mode when using LGLAF for this.

Hold VOL-up at the same time you plug it in. It doesn't have to be a PC. You can even do this process with a wall charger. V30 don't care lol
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
First post updated taking the danger out, but I am still going to try an clarify a few things for people that aren't familiar with flashing.

-- Brian
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
For those who get freaked out about the annoying bootloader unlock warning, don't. It's just a scary picture (yeah, actually just a graphic) LG is throwing in your face to make you regret your freedom. Ignore it. Over in the WTF thread, several people said it was "preventing" them from booting to recovery. No, it's not. It's not active in any way. It's just a picture.

Besides wiping data in TWRP, over in the WTF Guide, we instruct people to flash two files in TWRP after Magisk: no encryption, and no root check. Yes, there are fancy names for those files (no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip and LG-rctd-disabler-1.0.zip; this reduces LG root checks, which may impede performance) but that's what they do. Running LG firmware that's rooted, LG has shown a propensity to slow phones down by a background process that checks for root. We disable that, and people who don't disable the LG encryption run into issues with TWRP.

Maybe just wiping data turns that off, but there's also the root checker thing. Just a suggestion.

This below is not meant to apply to the H932 specifically, but is a comparison for [MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION] to see what I'm talking about. I can remove it after discussion if he feels it's causing any confusion.

---------- Post added at 07:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 AM ----------

Brian, see post above. What about the no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip and LG-rctd-disabler-1.0.zip (this reduces LG root checks, which may impede performance)?

Also, if there's anything in the WTF guide you wish to use, feel free. This excerpt above is not meant to apply to the H932 specifically, but is a comparison for you to see what I'm talking about. I can remove it if you feel it would cause any confusion. This is your thread.

[MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION] How do you feel about me making you a contributor so you can edit the first post? You are much more familiar with the intricacies of the V30.

If not, no biggie.

-- Brian
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
You are just as welcome to use any verbiage from the WTF thread instructions you feel apply to the H932 (like the two files for post-Magisk installation, the no encryption and no root check).

Where I would be uncomfortable is the Linux stick stuff. I don't want to put something into the instructions that would inadvertently cause people to have to wait for the next OTA to get download mode back. Also, of course we are not using fastboot instructions either.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattgyver:
[MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION], how much is performance really impeded without the root checks? Has anyone said if it is truly noticeable? Just asking, because you know it will eventually be asked :D
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Well, LG is not checking for root for any good reason. ;) Especially if it's some frequent or constant background process.

1) none of their business.

2) something unnecessary at best, performance impacting at worst.

Kill it with fire.

All stock-based custom ROMs typically have the no encryption and no root check built in. Even [MENTION=3642089]westwood24[/MENTION] "ROMs" -- which are basically stock KDZ with TWRP custom recovery -- have that...

The issue is when you're individual running LG rooted stock firmware.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattgyver:
I get that - and am all for killing with fire. I'm just curious if it makes a noticeable dent in performance. I doubt it would, but I was just curious.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
See my additional comment. Stock-based custom ROMs take care of that, but the issue is with individual rooted stock firmware -- which right now H932 is limited to.

I never bothered to see if someone measured performance impact, as it's nothing I want to keep on my rooted phone anyway.

There's an early V30 thread about it, way before we got root. I'll look it up later.

After completing this process, can I switch micro SD cards? I didn't want to lose all my stuff on my 64 GB when formatting, so I bought a new card.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Septfox:
No reason why not. After completing the process and flashing whatever ROM you like, you're back to the phone handling the SD card however it would normally.

Personally I'd back everything up to my computer before even starting, but then I'm super-paranoid :silly:
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheDannemand:
I do the same. Most people who have used computers long enough, will have a big data loss at some point that teaches them the importance of data redundancy. Mine was 27 years ago, and almost cost me my business and the livelihood of myself, my family and a dozen employees. I've been paranoid ever since :cool:
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheDannemand:
Did you make any progress on this yet?

I remembered a few things that might be helpful or worth trying:

1) The opening post of [MENTION=3959401]GiaiPhapAndroid[/MENTION]'s ROM thread linked below has some very exact steps for using LGUP FOTA mode. The thread is for Pie updating, and I realize that your short-term purpose is just to fix a borked phone. But still, see if there are things in there that make a difference in making FOTA work. All you're looking for is for FOTA to restore your Download mode, regardless of whether it completes the OS update. Once you have working Download mode, you should flash Oreo 20s LGUP in Refurbish mode to straighten out the phone.

https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/development/update-android-9-pie-beta-lg-h933-v300l-t3945306

2) Since you are currently on Oreo, make sure you use the LGUP version linked by runningnak3d in the in the opening post of this thread. Do NOT use the newer Pie compatible LGUP linked in the various Pie threads.

3) Use an OTA update file for the SAME OS version currently on your phone; or no more than ONE version higher.

4) If you still cannot make FOTA work (presumably because your phone isn't "sufficiently stock") you can try LG Bridge Restore Mode (or maybe it's Recover Mode, I forget). It was discussed recently in another thread, which I just spent 20 minutes unsuccessfully trying to locate. Maybe [MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION] remembers which thread. It's a link on the LG Bridge Update Tab. It may require working Download mode. But worth a try.

Please understand that I am merely throwing suggestions out there based on previous discussions here. I haven't been in a situation like yours, nor have I tried these procedures myself.

Whatever the outcome of your efforts, please post them here so that others may benefit.

Good luck. Fingers crossed! :)

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheDannemand:
Congrats on getting it fixed. Given the history of the phone, I would still re-flash 20r using LGUP Refurbish mode before doing anything else to it, including rooting it. Why not 20s? Because this way you'll have another OTA in the pipeline to fix Download mode if needed.

Make sure to use the LGUP in the opening post of this thread, not some other version.
