[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] SweetwaterBurns:
Looks like the virtual host you're using is not passing control of the phones usb to the guest operating system. If you can, boot from a flash drive or you'll have to dig through config files and usb IDs to force the host to pass it through.

Edit:

I'm also assuming you have it in download mode and plugged in to the computer.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] rigrunner:
thanks for the usb advice.

i went to the fwul thread and read up on usb issues and found out i needed to preset usb 3.0.

tried the lglaf.py command and it did same timeout, going by advice in fwul thread i immediately tried it again and success!!

this was done in vm environment

come payday this week op of this thread and fwul gets a donation
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] BROKEN1981:
I'm not looking to be a Dbag, but you were told in first post not to use a VM for a reason.

---------- Post added at 06:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:16 AM ----------

If anything, I can give you my phone number and talk you through it.

It's really easy.

I remember when I had to enter the FD number in fwul for the V20. I was sooooo nervous.

Then running came out with ./sh

I have all files needed that I can load up in mega and send it to you.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
That's awesome. Thank you so much. I'll post here when I get the phone hopefully in a couple of days. I can't mess this one up. I need it rooted. Thanks again.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] BROKEN1981:
No worries man. Do you need an SD card that is formatted ?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
You're too nice, man. I got one already. Thanks a lot. I really appreciate it.

Anyone try the Dirty Unicorns 932 build yet??
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Xblackberryuser:
I haven't tried it, because I'm pretty sure it isn't for H932.

NM, I see there is an H932 build.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] wireeater:
So for those who did the dual load of TWRP. How do you gain access to download mode once it's been patched? I needed to connect to LG Bridge.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattgyver:
Once you flash TWRP to laf, you don't have download mode, you have twrp. That's the trade-off. It's in post 4, explaining it.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Xblackberryuser:
So we just need to flash the same laf zip(H932) as the one in the procedure if we want download mode back?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] wills3gslide:
Yes, but it is wiser to have a second copy of TWRP, can always flash the laf later if needed
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Xblackberryuser:
Roger that. Thanks

Yes sir;)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Xblackberryuser:
I must have read that numerous times, yet still didn't comprehend dl mode went away. I understand now and it's not a big deal. I was more concerned about Brian saying it's important.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] wireeater:
Well. By some miracle I got booted back into 10d! Ive been pretty much going this phone since last night. Its pretty much all I did at work today while looking busy. I tried so many damn things I was getting to the point of just going and buying a new phone. I can honestly say...i don't want to see a twrp screen for awhile, or adb, fastboot, putty, zip files, downloading, sd cards and reading.

It all started when I tried flashing the lineage treb 932 Rom. Used the app that creates the vendor dir and ended up choosing the option that used data and 800mb. System wouldn't mount. After that it seemed like things went down hill. By today I just assumed partions amd gpt were gone. I could never get out of twerp. Tried all the dd commands that helped other people no dice...flashed the 10d zip update no go, flashed all the partions individually, no go. I even had a twrp backup image from days ago that didnt help. I couldn't use download mode for lgup because I have twrp on that as well. Laf zip was failing, blleeehhh.

I ended up taking the kdz, extracting out the dz then extracting that then merging everything into an img and flashed the system then took the recovery bin, changed it to an img and loaded it into twerp, flashed, phone booted and went black, figured it was dead but honestly at that point I told myself it was all or nothing lol... Rebooted again then I was greeted with tmobile chime. First time I actually was happy to hear it.

Honesyly deep down I think thials is always why I liked rooting and roming. Its a frustrating but fun adventure sometimes lol.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] weakNPCdotCom:
Just curious, which zips did you try? If there is a problem with any of the 10d zips I put up then id like to fix them
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] brolic925t:
Can someone please upload the 20k modem/radio
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Tell me where the file is located and I'll pull it and post it for you.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] wireeater:
The actual stock 10d rom full zip i didn't have any flash issues. With that, it still wasn't booting into the O/S so that was most likely a problem related to what ever issues I had going on. The LAF Update zip for 932, I kept getting an error 6 when trying to flash it. Sideloading or installing from external sd.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] weakNPCdotCom:
ah ok. thank you. error 6 is usually a problem with the updater-script. whoever made the one you used, might want to let them know.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] wireeater:
It was actually the one from your thread. Also this morning out of curiosity (i'm a glutten for stress, back to flashing) I did your full stock then the sysboot root and it would just sit on the t-mobile boot screen. I left it there for 10 minutes at the longest. Not a big deal because I can just flash root the stock image but just wanted to let you know. Could be my phone, who knows. But since I'm messing with it, if you need anything just lmk.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] weakNPCdotCom:
dangit man that's not what I wanted to hear lol. I'm sorry there was an issue but thanks for the info.

The hang on first boot after flashing those is normal to happen sometimes. You don't want to let it sit longer than like 5 minutes. 10 is as far as I would push it. but doing a hard reboot should get you back up. curious, did you wipe system and cache between the two roms? I normally don't have the boot hang if I do that.

ill take a look at the laf zip today. thank you again

---------- Post added at 02:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 PM ----------

Well, I'm not really sure why you got error 6 with that zip. The updater-script looked ok. It may have been bad EOL conversions though, so I made to sure set those and uploaded a new zip. I'm not gonna ask you to flash LAF again. If for any reason you do and it fails, it would be much appreciated if you could send me a copy of your TWRP log afterwards. If you arent familiar with that there is a copy log button on the advanced screen. Either way I'm glad you're up and running.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] BROKEN1981:
Lol
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
So, I've had a fit with TMobile because they sent me a refurbished V30 which was pretty f#$ed up since the phone I gave them, basically, a brand new phone. Now, they're offering me a full pay off for the V30 and the note 9 for $800 with zero down. They offered me a free LG G6 with keeping my V30, but I hate the G6, so I refused that offer. Going with the note 9. Didn't know being fussy would get me this good of a deal. lol
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Yup, welcome to the world of refurbs. I always said they open it to spit in the phone and send it back out. You can tell Assurant/assurion pays their people 8 bucks an hour. What was wrong with the one they sent you?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
It's laggy as hell. Sometimes it would freeze and I can't do anything with it for over 20 seconds. I've almost smashed earlier today. What the hell, I gave them a brand new phone and they're sending me a refurb? Also, I felt like I was being fooled into financing a phone for two years that is not even new and I can get on ebay for $300. So, I had a run with them on Twitter and got a good deal on a note 9 out of them. Now which color should i pick lol
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Isn't the game of luck fun with refurbs with tmo?! Brian had one and you had one now both with problems on the first one .

So you don't have the v30 and got the note 9? Did I follow correctly?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Yup, it's T-Mobile. And the problem is that they don't have any new ones for me. All they have is refurbs, and after this horrible experience I'm sure done with them. No, I don't have the note 9 just yet. They had to modify some payments and stuff and their system wouldn't allow nice things to happen easily for their customers. So, they are going to follow up with me tomorrow morning (technically today at 9 am) to place the order after paying off my V30 for me and I'll get a note 9 in lavender. lol
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Preaching to choir my friend. I had a pissed off customer who had a refurbished note 4 sent to them with peanut butter in the Sim tray.. I wouldn't have believed it if she didn't pick it up at the store and I opened the box.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Wow, you're making me wanna throw my V30 away now. lol

I promised them that this was going to be last time in my life to get a phone through and they freaked out. They issued me a credit of $575 right away to pay off the V30 that I got last month then dropped the price of the note 9 to $800. Couldn't say no to that.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] joeygee23:
I got a reurb from Tmo and brought it back 3 days later. Random reboots all day. Dropped 4g AND Wi-Fi consistently. I've had the new refurb a week now with no issues. Plan to root Sat m
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Mine is horrible. It doesn't even turn into landscape mode anymore. I think I'm done with LG. They're still not as good as I wanted them to be. And now they started adding notching, then I'm done with them until they remove it. Note 9 it is.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] inuyasha1999:
[MENTION=5300329]K-alz[/MENTION] That sucks that this happened to you. I had a problem with my V30 when I initially tried to root, and according to Brian, it was essentially the same as ending up with a 9008 hard brick. I managed to lose my recovery, system, and laf partitions, if not more than that. My phone would ONLY boot to fastboot mode with the unlock instructions showing. That's it. I went through LG like he suggested, and they fixed my phone, and sent it back. Since I'm in Texas, it took less than a week to get my phone back. Once I got it back, I was able to downgrade to 10d (it came back with 20k on it), then was able to root with no issues. I think my initial issue arose due to the cable I was using not being the OEM cable, but a third party cable. I do have Jump!, but went through LG, and they fixed it free of charge.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
It seems like a lot of people are running into issues with the TMobile side of LG. I've literally had nothing but pain with this phone since the day I got it. It's never been stable. Sometimes, I think LG has messed up somewhere in the hardware department on this phone. Note 9 it is for me, even though they haven't rooted it yet, but it's more stable than the V30 and I only need root for adblocking and removing bloatware. That's been partially covered by some awesome devs on XDA. I'll miss these forums, though. Very nice folks around here. I'll still be subbed to this thread and the whole V30 area.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
If you're hoping for root with the note 9, you might as well give up that hope right now. Samsung locks their phones down harder than a nuns panties
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattgyver:
It's true (I say that ambiguously :D)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Well, that's to be expected from Sammy, but honestly I'm going with 20% hope that there will be root for that phone. So, I'm not expecting a huge disappointment. I only need root for ad blocking and bloatware removal and those are both semi achievable now a days. One thing, though, if that 4000 mAh sucked then root might be a requirement lol

Hello there,

I can not enter DodownloadMode anymore after doing this part of the process : '' [*] Once the flash completes, your phone will reboot into the OS. Just power off, and go back into download mode '', my phone just restarts everytime i try to access DodownloadMode :crying:

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattgyver:
So, first things first.. Are you just starting out with the process to root? You didn't start before, flash anything and this happened?

Make sure your phone is powered off. Hold down Vol+ and (keeping the volume button held down) plug in the USB cable. Make sure the USB is already plugged into the computer!
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] SC2Alucard:
Firstable let me thank you for the quick response, i know how to put my phone in download mode, i did everystep exacly how is posted here: ''PROCEDURE PART 1: Getting a working LAF onto your phone''. so after i flashed H933 10h KDZ to laf with LG UP im not sure if it was succesfuly installed or what but since then i cannot acces download mode anymore, it just keep restarting until i realese vol + and it bootup to normaly.

i also wonder if i could messege you directly. thank you.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattgyver:
I'm just going through the steps.. Did you make sure your phone's bootloader was unlocked before starting the procedure?

The way to know that it completed flashing h933 laf successfully is that the phone reboots to the OS/your homescreen, you just power it off and go back into download mode to continue. If it didn't boot right to the OS, and is continually rebooting, something didn't flash correctly.

What kind of cable are you using? Not all cables are created equal.

Also, did you make sure that ONLY the laf partition was checked in LGUP, and are you using the LGUP that was linked in the OP?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] SC2Alucard:
Yes, I'm using the files you provided in the guide including the modified LGUP, and yes i also unlocked the bootloader and checked it with "fastboot getvar unlocked" which returned "yes" as a result. the only weird thing is when i try this "'fastboot oem device-id'' i get nothng, i cant get the device ID for some reason, so maybe is not fully unlocked? it might be that the problem or maybe the cable? thats the only thing i can think of.

Im using the cable that came with this, which is working properly i think :

PowerBear USB Charger [18W] Qualcomm 3.0 Fast Charger, USB Wall Charger, Fast Charger, Android Charger for Samsung, LG, HTC, iPhone & More with Cable – Black [24 Month Warranty]. (cant post the link cause page policies)

i also tried to flash TWRP:

''fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img''

Result:

"cannot Load TWRP.img"

i have tried changing the file name to recovery or whatever, still get same result.

Is there anyway to get back the download mode to work again?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattgyver:
I'm not [MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION] - he's the one who provided the files and everything making this all possible. I run clothed ;). No one wants to see my fat rear naked... :laugh: I'm just the guy hanging around the forums trying to help everyone take full ownership of their devices!

The h932 has a crippled fastboot command list, so [fastboot flash recovery twrp.img] wouldn't work. If you didn't get past the h933 laf flash in LGUP, you wouldn't have gotten to the part of the process where you go to download mode, use FWUL to load twrp via the sdcard. Did the h932 eventually boot to os after you flashed the h933 laf after a few reboots, or did it continuously reboot?

I can guarantee that NONE of Brian's [MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION]) steps would have caused your phone to lose download mode at the h933 laf flash if the steps were followed and neither your computer, phone, or USB cable had an unrelated issue. The 4 who marked that it didn't work and that it caused a brick had other issues happen unrelated to the steps. Otherwise, the lot of us who did get root/twrp would have had failures, too.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] BROKEN1981:
Seems like you skipped some steps.

Unlock BL.

Install LG store frame.

Install patched LG up.

Flash ALL of 10D KDZ ( refurbished mode )

Chose partition DL

Only flash laf H933

Click yes 2 times.

Chose partition DL

Check everything EXCEPT LAF Flash 10D

This is sooooo EASY and YOU did something wrong if you lost DL mode.

Now, since you should be on 10D boot to system and take an OTA. That WILL get back everything to 100%
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] SC2Alucard:
Dont get me wrong , im not trying to blame anybody at all xD i did all this by my own its all the opposite, i appretiate all of you for making this possible and for actually trying to help me :) . now with that out of the way.

After the H933 10h KDZ laf flash in LGUP my phone reboot to the OS and thats all, i have not been able to do anything else since i cant load the h932 cause i cant put my phone in dowload mode.

---------- Post added at 02:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 AM ----------

yes, is so easy that's why i dont understand what i did wrong and can you please explain me whats an OTA and how do i get it ? sorry i am a noob, the only phone i have rooted was my last one an s7 edge and was pretty simple.

thanks for the help
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] invert_nexus:
Hmm.

I haven't done this yet, but I was going back over the instructions after reading the above exchange and it leads me to some questions regarding oem unlock.

So, you have to go back to 10d. Let's say you're in the latest oreo prior to this. Is oem unlock required to go back to 10d?

Also. After you're in 10d. Would you then have to go back into developer settings and oem unlock again prior to flashing 933 10h laf? And after you've reflashed 10d again excluding laf?

I'm betting that fastboot unlock would stick, but what about the developer settings?

The instructions kinda make it seem like you only have to do it once at the very beginning and it's never mentioned again. But, developer settings don't generally stick through multiple rom flashes in my experience.

Edit:

Now that I think about it a bit more, I'm thinking that the developer settings oem unlock allows you to fastboot unlock which then sticks until relocked.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Xblackberryuser:
Once the bootloader is unlocked, thats it, it's unlocked. No need for further complications. This is a pretty quick procedure once you wrap your mind around it.

One tip I would recommend before doing anything, boot your fwul usb to make sure it's going to run. Same for the patched lg up, connect your phone to ensure it's communicating and being recognized. The issue I ran into, was adb in windows was screwy, but lg up was working fine. I ended up using linux on a main machine for bl unlock.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] invert_nexus:
Got you. Thanks.

It's just weird this combination of developer settings with fastboot commands. I've only had one other device with oem unlock needed and it's development hasn't, until recently, been very active so I haven't had much experience with it.

Question: Let's say you've done all the steps and unlocked your bootloader and then in some stupid mania uncheck oem unlock and then reboot. Would this cause a problem?

---------- Post added at 02:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 AM ----------

Also: Is bootloader unlock required to go back to stock 10d? I wouldn't think so...
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Xblackberryuser:
Well, this isn't a straight answer, but you have no need to go into developer options after the unlock. So don't do it and carry on to the next step...which is flash back to 10d. I'm going to say no, it will not.

I believe it will only lock if you intentionally lock it and someone correct me...take an ota.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] invert_nexus:
Just curious is all. I know there's no reason to, but mistakes happen.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Xblackberryuser:
I get it. It's nerve racking until you fully understand the procedure.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] BROKEN1981:
Ok so, you can boot to the OS. You should be on 10D.

Go into settings, click the 3 dot menu.

Scroll down to system - update center - system update.

That will update your device and make it "new again". You will have DL mode back.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Xblackberryuser:
To root the bl needs unlocked to flash 10d. But to revert to a 10d kdz from tmobile, not necessary...correct?
