I did manage to get the commands to work by using the terminal marked steadfasterX it's the only one I could get to work and the git commands don't work as expected on any of them though I was able to execute and use lglaf.py and the copy with dd appears to have completed however booting up into recovery using the buttons is just getting me the recovery it had and only erasing the data.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] callihn:
I even went back and flashed laf again and the other 10d partitions again and used fwul until I could boot directly into recovery on the first logo without having to hold them and try again as I wasn't sure at what point or how fast it could change it back and it still just erases data and boots.

What about lafbak? Are we supposed to leave that alone and then flash it when we flash all the other partitions again with 10d? I assumed yes.

How do I know if the laf from the h933 is right?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] callihn:
Progress...

32GB SD card had a 512MB partition formatted in fat16, partition is logical, the phone can see and use it however lglaf can not see it when tested using...

!EXEC toybox ls /storage/external_SD\0

I changed the partition ID to fat16 LBA from fat16 less than 32GB which was previously changed from more than 32GB to no avail and the type was changed from logical to primary, not sure which helped or if it needed both but it got it done and I got in TWRP.

Next issue is when I tried to install the RCTD remover zip it said unsupported Andriod version and exited with error 1

I rooted my V30 awhile back to Nougat, and now I want to restore to official firmware and relock the bootloader using these instructions.

Is it possible? I got the new patched version of LGUP for Pie from another thread, but when I try to flash an official v30 Pie kdz using "upgrade" it is giving me an error something along the lines of "0x4 cannot cross flash model h932 to h932" for some reason. I will pull up a picture in a little.

After much research with problems on FWUL not having the commands for lglaf working, I finally got it to work successfully with my v30. Follow the first post until you get to the “git pull” portion. From here, use these commands:

git clone https://gitlab.com/runningnak3d/lglaf.git
cd lglaf
git pull
git checkout h932-dd-write
./lglaf.py

Follow the lglaf commands in this comment exactly:

https://xdaforums.com/t/root-h932-lafploit-1-5-up-to-v20a.3842550/post-77672203

Or copy/paste these commands:

!CTRL POFF

From here, go back to the first post and pick up the next step after the instructions for “./step1.sh”

I did this root process a couple of years ago on my h932 with no problems. Now I've had to replace my h932 and I can't get FWUL to work properly. I seems like the problem may be a lack of an internet connection on FWUL. When I enter the code into the terminal prompt I get this message:

Any ideas?

Resolved the problem in the previous post by using an ethernet connection instead of wifi.

Got to part 2 where I'm having problems again. It seems like FWUL isn't finding the TWRP.img file for some reason. I rooted another h932 a bit ago and this worked fine with the same TWRP file on the same SD card. I get this message:

I copy/pasted it just like before.

I'm starting to think something went wrong with Part 1 of the procedure getting the 933 laf on the phone, so I'm going to repeat that today and then try part 2 again.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] rdmd:
Figured it out after much hunting. There was a post with alternative code for the first set of FWUL commands that I found that worked where the ones in the original instructions did not. In case anyone needs them they are:

Code:

git clone https://gitlab.com/runningnak3d/lglaf.git

cd lglaf

git pull

git checkout h932-dd-write

./lglaf.py

The second set of commands at the LGLAF shell are the same as the instructions in the first posts in this thread.

New problem...

After getting my h932 10d rooted and updating to 20s and then to 30d I spent a bunch of time getting all my apps installed and set up. Everything was working great. I decided to make a backup with TWRP to save in case I ever wanted to return to this point. Strangely TWRP began requiring a password to encrypt data. I'd done several backups of this phone on 20s and 30d along the way and TWRP never asked for a password before. I have no log in password, pin, knock code, pattern or biometrics set up on the phone. Can I get around this by reinstalling no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.1.zip from TWRP? Do I have to reinstall lg-rctd-disabler-1.0.zip or H93230d_FullStock.zip? Things to wipe before flashing?

Thanks for any help.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mmmzon:
Hi there, I went through the whole 106 pages of this thread to find clear instructions on how to downgrade to 10d for H932. I am on 20d right now and wanted to root the phone to get new Lineage 20.0 version since it seems support is finally added for TMobile V30 model. All I can find is that I need to start with downgrading to 10d to be able to root the phone (unless I am mistaken, obviously). Could someone point to be concise instructions, please?

I have patched LG UP with fixed DLL (LGUP+V30DLL_PATCHED), correct GL drivers (LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.8.0), and still get the following error when trying to refurbish the phone back to 10d (using H93210d_00_0111.kdz) version. I am clearly doing something wrong, but cannot seem to find an answer so why this is happening.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mmmzon:
For those stuck in the same endless loop of hate, the magic trick is to use LG UP from LGUP_DualMode, and not directly dev version (LGUP+V30DLL_PATCHED). That at least got me to downgrade to 10d and then up to 10h LAF.

Now, I am stuck on another step. I tried to follow https://xdaforums.com/t/root-h932-lafploit-1-5-up-to-v20a.3842550/post-77672203 to the letter, using both FWUL 3.0 (latest) as well as updated (renamed) version 4, where I am able to push the TWRP image to the phone, and then factory reset it, only to come back with the following problem

The V30 will sit there for a while, and will power off and then goes back to stock ROM as if nothing happened.

This follows the step

You can now pull the USB cable, and your phone will power off. You now have TWRP installed. At this point you can flash a ROM, or Magisk or whatever you like.

You

must

use the key combination to immediately boot to TWRP:

Power off your phone

Hold vol down + power.

When the LG logo appears, immediately release power (and ONLY power) and then immediately hold power again until you get the the factory reset screen.

You never let go of vol down until the factory reset screen appears. Once it appears, you can release both buttons.

Choose yes twice by using the vol down key and power to select, and you will be in TWRP.

You should only tap the power key to select yes. Don't press and hold, and don't spam the power key.

It takes TWRP a little bit to boot -- be patient. <<< here is where the screen shown above happens

Any clues / hints on what to do here? I tried different TWRP images with no luck. including TWRP-3.2.1-joan-v0.1, TWRP-3.2.3-7-default, and a few others. I think something is simply not working. I might have to go through the flashing process again it seems to make sure I am in the correct LAF
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mmmzon:
I did not work, unfortunately, in my case. I do see that the "dd" does something because data is being copied from SDcard over to internal partition but when the phone completes the factory reset, it just shows the error screen reported in the previous post, and then defaults back to factory ROM.

I did that several times, with different TWRP versions, with no success.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] NimaXDA:
It seems too difficult to root H932 even after reading all these 106 pages.

I'm gonna try my luck soon.

Well I managed to root my phone and flash FullStock Pie zip rom then I flash Havoc OS 3.11 but I didn't like it so I want to return back to Stock Pie. But after restoring the backup in twrp I stucked on the red T-Mobile logo.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Thank you , that's what I needed. You should either flash the root checker disabler or navigate through the engineering menu to turn it off.

I turned off MLT and I get no output so MLT in the engineering menu does indeed turn off the root checker.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattgyver:
Then maybe that's not what you want. When I went through Brian's steps, I flashed magisk then root check disabler and no-verity. So I guess my output isn't what you're looking for..

Dude, don't stress it. I went ahead and spent the extra money and bought it myself. I figured your guys did enough.

Again, I love what I do. And now I will be able to bring Treble to the H932. A TWRP that can actually deal with encryption, a much better kernel.

You guys are welcome to continue to donate. I am not going to lie, I am just an ordinary average dude, but the quota was *mostly* met for me to get a V30.

If anyone wants their h932 rooted, and isn't comfortable running through the steps themselves, you can mail it to me and I'll do it for you.

You'll love it for these reasons:

ALL V30/V30+ have:

quad DAC,

more internal memory (64GB/128GB),

Qi wireless charging

G6 North America has:

32GB internal memory,

no quad DAC.

Other G6 regions had different specs. North America G6 does have Qi wireless charging, but nothing else -- except 32GB internal memory.

Plus V30 has 2017 Snapdragon 835 vs the G6 2016 Snapdragon 821 (even though G6 is a 2017 phone). :rolleyes:

Last but not least, V30 cameras are better than G6. The "regular" rear camera is better and the wide angle camera doesn't have the "fish eye" look the G6 camera has.

V30 is what the G6 SHOULD have been, from the start. ;) LG really ruined G6 with stupid "regionalized" specs scheme and previous year's Snapdragon. All they gave North America was Qi wireless, while the various parts of the world got more internal memory and quad DAC. No one region had a "complete" G6 -- and all had the "2016" Snapdragon.

MONTHS later,

LG did release a G6+ with more internal memory (128GB)

. I doubt you have that one, as T-mobile didn't sell it (as far as I know) but LG treated it like a completely separate phone launch -- like the V30 vs the V30S. But still no quad DAC for North America on any G6.

Don't worry, it's disabled. The one line that shows up is for your grep command that you typed in. If rtcd was running you would have had at least 2 processes show up, one for your command and the other for the actual daemon.

I'm coming from linux experience not Android so ps could work differently depending on the environment and possibly if BusyBox was installed, I'll have to experiment. If you look at the picture that was posted in the thread you'll see that it's just the command line with arguments echoed.

are you running as root? I haven't rooted yet, but just running ps in the terminal as user will show virtually no processes, which is why you might not see anything in the output to grep.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] wtang:
I just rooted my second H932, my wife's phone. (Woot! I'm 2 for 2!) This time I paid more attention and this is what I've determined. After using FWUL to install TWRP and booting into recovery for the first time, it prompts for a password to decrypt the data partition. I just press cancel to bypass it. At this point, TWRP can't access the internal storage because it's encrypted, it can only access the SD card. Then I choose to wipe the data partition by formatting it in TWRP. After that, TWRP can access the internal storage because it's not encrypted anymore, but it's empty. Then I flash Magisk for root. However, I didn't flash the 2 zips to stop encryption and to stop root checking like you probably did. I then reboot the phone and all looks good. I see the Magisk app is installed and I have root. However, if I boot into TWRP recovery again, I am again asked for a password to decrypt the data partition and I have to choose cancel to bypass it. And again TWRP has no access to the internal storage. It seems like even though I formatted the data partition to remove encryption, when the phone reboots back into Android it automatically re-encrypts data. Since I've reinstalled all my apps and configured everything to my liking, I really can't wipe and format data in TWRP again to remove the encryption without losing all my apps and settings.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Thank you all for your clarification. MLT is LGs alleged spy/tracking software. It's good to disable that too, but I had it confused with RCT. Looks like I am not affected by either, yet it still says enabled

I would try wiping more option, minus the important ones, but def the data, cache etc. Try that and then reboot TWRP and reformat data again with the "yes" option. Maybe that will help

Not sure where I'm going wrong, but I'm going wrong somewhere. The only step I wasn't sure about was formatting the SD card to FAT16. The most I did was go into the phone settings and formatted the sd card. I moved the twrp.img into the sd root.

I get no errors when in FWUL but I noticed in someones screenshot that after they input the "!EXEC toybox dd if=/storage/external_SD/twrp.img of=/dev/block/sde bs=4096 seek=10246\0" That a message popped up before inputting the "!CTRL POFF" command. When I pull out the USB it turns off as expected and I attempt to get into twrp but I get the colorful ring with the erase message.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
After inputting the EXEC command, it shouldn't show anything but another #.

You have to format the SD card into FAT16 ONLY. No other will work. If you're using Windows, use DISKPART and make the SD card partition 500mb. There are plenty of tutorials online for that part. When you're done and rooted use DISKPART again to return SD card to normal. Also, place magisk.zip in the ad card with TWRP.img to save a little hassle.

I really don't want to spell it out step by step but if you need it, I will
