I followed these steps word by word

Make sure you are on version 10d. Again, check in Software Info / Software Version if you are unsure.

Boot to download mode

In LG UP, choose partition DL.

Pick the H933 10h KDZ

Click start

You will be given a list of partitions to flash, ONLY check laf

Click start

You will get a warning about additional modified partitions (cache, OP, userdata) -- ignore it, and click OK.

Click OK and it will start flashing.

Once the flash completes, your phone will reboot into the OS. Just power off, and go back into download mode.

Choose partition DL again, and this time pick the H932 10d KDZ.

Select all partitions except laf. If you forget to uncheck laf, you will have to do this all over again.

When it completes, it will reboot your phone. it did reboot but in black screen

I got "QHSUSB_Bulk" listed under device manager on my Windows 7

adb doesnt find any device listed either I have LG V30 H932 for tmobile

I deleted Qualcomm drivers for ATT K88 tablet after I restarted the PC it came under Com372 Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Well it could be usb noise, interrupts, bad cable who knows, but you have yourself a hard brick and there's no recovering from it cause LG and QC are dicks and won't release the files to fix it so if you have insurance, call and have a new one sent out. If not, call LG and send it to them, or find a shop that can do it but it'll hard finding that.

Anybody in need of remote help, I should be available tomorrow after work around 5pm cst

Dont have enough time tonight to post a new thread but wanted to share

Please keep all questions/commits regarding this rom on my All In One Firmware Stop thread

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Secondly, sorry for the OT but I've been running that for days and it's really awesome everyone . I do suggest the GCAM mod over the stock cam ?

Also,it may look to not be installing, just leave it alone, it will and is installing. It took ten mins for me. Don't try and reboot in the middle or you'll get stuck in a soft bootloop if your lucky, probably a hard brick cause system isn't fully there.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] zfk110:
When I press and hold power and volume up or volume down after 20 to 30 sec it make sound like its connected to PC, I never had LG before this is the first LG I owned and its already bricked
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] BROKEN1981:
I don't know if this makes a difference, but did you also flash laf.bak? Cause you only flash laf.

Just call LG, tell them you took the 8.0 update and your device messed up. You will get a new device. Someone on here and just use remote viewer and root it for you.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] zfk110:
I just setup a RMA using LG warranty for repair is that good enough? or calling them will make it easier?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] BROKEN1981:
Na, your good man.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] inuyasha1999:
I have the insurance through T-Mobile, but went through LG to repair mine last month after I got stuck only being able to boot to fastboot mode. They fixed it, and got it back to me pretty quickly (facility is in Texas, and so am I). Even provided a prepaid label to ship it to them. Wasn't charged anything either, where if I went through the insurance, I more than likely would have had to pay the deductible. I setup my warranty repair online as well, so you should be good.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] jsgraphicart:
So now that I'm rooted, I'm probably going to be going a little flash happy with ROMs as they become available for us T-Mobile users. Especially since a new one just became available apparently. It's been a while since I've had a phone I could play with. lol.

I'm curious though...right after rooting and updating to Oreo, I had stock LG rooted Android. I went right into TWRP and made a backup of that. Now if I'm flashing all these ROMs and ever just want to go back to Stock LG Oreo with root (for whatever reason), all I have to do is restore that backup right? Or is there more to it than that? I don't want to try restoring it one day and have it mess up my phone. I'm still trying to understand the ins and outs of a rooted non Google phone. Thanks
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Yes, if your backup was made properly, all you have to do is just restore that. Be careful flashing ROMs, as some are not H932 compatible.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] jsgraphicart:
Thanks. Just wanted to make sure there wasn't a difference since it was a backup of an LG ROM. I'll keep it saved just in case then. And thanks for the warning. I'm not one to go flashing things without reading. I've been around long enough to know better. lol. I miss the old Nexus days where everything just worked with all models.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] zfk110:
Yea, but I bought it off the eBay so I'm not a original buyer per their requirements, I have contacted seller to provide me original receipt since I got only invoice from eBay and I don't know if they will take it, so I'm waiting from him to send me something
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Just day you're the original owner? F#&$ LG. If they would release the files, we could fix it ourselves.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] wills3gslide:
Always have a couple backups to refer to, ive actually had a twrp backup that didnt backup system properly and wouldn't flash, but luckily I had an extra backup on hand to recover

Twrp also has an issue when restoring a backup it will lock you out of your rom by even entering your correct pin or pattern it will not let you in, I have a fix for this that you flash and will reset all pin/patterns and fingerprint that you flash after a restore, will post in thread for the new RR rom I have provided soon
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Is that old TWRP that has that issue or also the newest that's been updated with different dev? See below.

[MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION], can you link to the new TWRP in your instructions? Link in quote below.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] BROKEN1981:
Dev made a new TWRP that does all of that.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] wills3gslide:
Glad to hear, last I followed, it was still being worked on and lost track of it due working on RR. Will be updating TWRP soon and test out its new features, I knew it had a lot more features than the current one that we had:D
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
See my link in previous post. It's the "basic" version of the new TWRP for people who want to make backups and flash zips.

The dev gave it to me to test last week and it's now linked in my WTF Guide. If anyone wants "advanced" TWRP (vendor partition and all that), they can go to the TWRP thread and grab that. Most people will never need that and it will just confuse them. I'm using this version.

[MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION], can you link to the new TWRP in your instructions? Link in quote below.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] jsgraphicart:
Will the new TWRP have the issue that [MENTION=3034279]wills3gslide[/MENTION] mentioned if the backup was made with the old TWRP or does it matter?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Since the backup was created by old TWRP, possibly. I don't know. But you still need to install the new version so future backups WILL BE problem free. You can install TWRP over TWRP, within TWRP. Go to Install, look down in lower right and switch to Image.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] wills3gslide:
Right on [MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION], will update later and test it out
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] jsgraphicart:
Will do. I assume everyone who also installed TWRP on laf should also install the new version there as well. Would the method for that be booting into the secondary TWRP and doing the same?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
[MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION] maybe you should post in huge red letters telling people to do the button combo test multiple times before starting the procedure? You know, so they can ignore it too
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] wireeater:
Ignore what?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Over in the WTF guide, I have people ignore even the most basic instructions. They'll ask why they can't boot into bootloader with fastboot (yet) , why

they can't see the OEM unlock in Developer Options

(yet).

Like, have you read ANY part of the instructions? All those questions are answered IN THE INSTRUCTIONS. But you can't just start in the middle somewhere.;)

One guy asked,

"Even though the instructions clearly say I NEED pre-July 2018 firmware for the bootloader unlock exploit, can I use September?"

NO, otherwise I wouldn't say you needed pre-July! Arghh.

The other day someone actually asked

"Can someone write up a step-by-step on how to do this? Is there a guide?

" - - and they asked that IN the "WTF bootloader unlock, install TWRP and root" thread. All they had to do is read post #1.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
That last one is the worst I've ever seen. That ridiculous and lazy.

I get really tired of the "will this sim unlock my phone"
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Do you guys know of any app that can do the same as smart settings on LG where I can have the phone toggle wifi and blutooth per location. When I had my V30, it was so cool that I can have the phone turn on wifi and blutooth off when I'm home and vice versa when I'm at work based on my location. That's one major thing I miss about the V30.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
I use that all the time. I do not want my Wi-Fi on at work.

You can always come back. Mint V30+ on ebay for $295... ;)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] jsgraphicart:
You can try an app called Trigger in the play store. I use it to turn things on and off automatically. They do have a location Trigger as well.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Awesome. Thank you so much. I hope its not a battery hog. Will give it a shot.

That app doesnt have location based tasks. It only gives you a calendar and times to turn things on and off. :/ I'll have to find something
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] jsgraphicart:
It's at the bottom of the trigger list. It's called Geofence.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
It needs payment for a pro version. I found another app called llama that I'm gonna fiddle with. Thanks man
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] jsgraphicart:
Oh, thats right. I think I bought that long ago and forgot it was a paid thing. I used to use llama too but i think development died for it I while ago. Could still work well though.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Llama looks very old and messy. There isn't even an option to turn it off. Once you install and open it, it stays running until you uninstall it. I'll need to find something modern even if I had ti pay for it. This is getting lame, why cant Samsung just implement that feature into their phones instead of all of the useless garbage they have on their touchwiz? lol
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] SweetwaterBurns:
Try IFTTT, it's free and in the prebuilt stuff they have exactly what you want and more. If you want to roll you're own, you can do that to.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Will try that. Thank you.

Unroot

Is there any special way to unroot after using this method?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Just use lgup to flash the stock kdz and you be back to 100pct stock if you didn't put twrp on download mode too

Do a search in this thread about using a VM. I've only seen one person get it to work. Using a VM is not recommended or supported by OP.

Just FYI for those who decided to stay on an earlier version of Magisk Manager due to the Magisk Hide crashing issue, Magisk Manager 6.0.1 has been released, and fixes the crash issue when trying to open Magisk Hide.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
In the WTF thread, I've now updated it to recommend Magisk 17.3 since it comes with that v6.0.1 Magisk Manager. Yes, you can install 17.1 and "update" to that Magisk Manager or install 17.3 and already have it. The latter would be better if installing Magisk for the first time.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
[MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION] (and anyone else that wants to chime in). Does the version of TWRP that is included here have bugs that can break things? If not, no, I will not be updating the post. When I release a root procedure that works, I try not to change it unless something breaks (a change needs to be made to accommodate a new firmware release), or a major flaw is found. A couple of reasons for that:

1 - I would be updating posts constantly and could have a typo that breaks things

2 - IMHO it is up to the user to go out and upgrade things themselves. They don't need to be hand fed the latest and greatest -- but mainly point 1. If it aint broke, don't fix it :)

-- Brian
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
The new TWRP fixes stuff, like the incorrect time/date.

It's also a "basic" version, not the very advanced version available in the TWRP thread for vendor partition which can confuse people. It's basically an updated replacement for the older one [MENTION=3475147]SGCMarkus[/MENTION] gave us.

[MENTION=3138121]seadersn[/MENTION] can clarify more.

hey guys, im at the point of flashing a ROM, already flashed magisk, still cant boot into anything but TWRP, i've tried flashing multiple ROMs that support H932 to no avail, any help would be greatly appreciated
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Did you wipe data? The one of which you have to type "yes" ? And if you're flashing roms, might as well wipe everything including system just to make sure it's clean

Edit I HIGHLY recommend putting twrp on LAF before you do anything . I didn't and I paid for it
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] joe.bat:
I've wiped cache, system and data, flashes have all gone successfully, when i start the phone from a powered off state it also only boots into twrp
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
But did you do the certain one where you have to type "yes"? And did you "swipe to allow modifications" when you first started twrp?

If so try to open twrp, mount system see if it works and then try to load the ROM . Also try opening twrp and rebooting to twrp.

Also which version of twrp? Sorry for the crazy reply, I'm at the gym
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] joe.bat:
i did do the initial wipe when you have to type yes, that all went well, ill try to mount system and get back to you then, do you by chance have telegram, i don't want top blow up this thread with messages back and forth
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
I don't have telegram or any irc. It's okay cause if someone else has this problem, they can see this when we find the issue.

Open twrp and see what version it is. The OP has the correct and best version but you can always flash back to 2.1.3 or whatever it was to see if it fixes the issues

I mean, the man is doing a tremendous work and it's all for free. He doesn't even have to do it. I read through the process and felt like a retard for a second. [emoji23]

I'm mostly familiar with Samsung and the Nexus/pixel line up. This is literally the first LG device I've ever owned and their way of making software is a whole new world for me. Gotta do some training before bricking the darn thing ya know.

---------- Post added at 08:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 AM ----------

I bet it is. It literally took me an hour to download and install the LGUP and make it work. Also, at first it wouldn't recognize my phone then I did a little bit of search and then found out that a program called "uppercut" would help and it did. Now, my phone is recognized but I'm still not familiar with many things of LG's software. One of you fine folks should make us a video on the process. Oh! And my phone is H93220k and I don't even know if that's included in this process or not.

---------- Post added at 08:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 AM ----------

I didn't root and I don't know if I'm gonna be able to do so because it's too "complicated" for me personally, but I still threw a beer your way. Ever since I started learning how to code on my own, I came to realize how much effort you guys put into the FREE work you do for us. Much appreciated, man.

Python is going to be my next stop actually. Took a couple of basic online lessons and that's it. Android studio was gonna be before python, but I was never able set it up successfully on my windows 10 machine. It kept throwing errors and crap on me. It was a cluster crap and I ended deleting it.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] t436h05t:
do you think this is a important step to complete after flashing twrp? Are there any negative side affects?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
It's only hard because it's the T-Mobile variant. All the other V30 use the much simpler WTF method.

Because T-MOBILE removed fastboot flash commands AND has different RSA encryption.

That's why many bought other North American variants (either US998 or converted to US998) and used them on T-Mobile.

With US998, you unlock the bootloader with simple unlock fastboot command, then install TWRP and root. But H932 can't do that.

I'm glad H932 now has root, and Brian is a wizard.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
Absolutely. You either need to have TWRP on laf as well as recovery, or have your PROPER laf on laf. Having a version that doesn't match your device is a bad idea.

Personally, I recommend keeping TWRP on both laf and recovery. You can upgrade TWRP without worry. You will *never* be in a situation where: "Damn I wish I had download mode, but I only have TWRP" ... but you most certainly can be in a situation where you wish you had that extra copy of TWRP on laf.

-- Brian
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
I know and it's very unfortunate. I only bought it through TMobile because I couldn't afford the out right (at the time). It was a $0 down payment. Also, I'd failed to do a small research about it having root or not before pulling the trigger.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonzey231:

That's would be great! Never had LG before. Hope to see the video soon. Thanks.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
You don't need uppercut. That's just a modded version of LgUp anyway.

It's not very hard, it sounds a lot scarier than it is. Once you pull the USB plug on the first one, it's all downhill from there.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Septembersrain:
I never had an old one! That's my problem.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
For you guys that are nervous about it, just think of it this way; Just don't let the 933kdz finish flashing after laf. Just pull the USB plug out right after that

It starts flashing GPT or something like that after wards. Also don't restart the phone yet either.

Bottom line is, just don't let it finish flashing and you'll be fine. Then on the 932 kdz, let it finish like you would normally. Simple :good:
