Did you have a version of LG UP already installed?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] maddangerous:
[MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION], thanks for the hard work, glad to finally be able to root this phone!

--------------------------------

Forgive me if this is obvious, I haven't been on XDA in a while, but is there a better link for the H933 10h kdz? I downloaded H93210d fine, but the download of H933 10h failed, and now that site isn't letting me download anything (tells me to wait a few days or some such notice)

Any suggestions?

I did, I removed it

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] maddangerous:
Thanks, but I'm not seeing the H933 10H in there, looks to be only H932 stuff. I was able to download H932 10d already.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Oh, sorry. Thought you were asking for H932 firmware. My fault.

Yeah, even my own folder only has Canadian Oreo firmware, not Nougat.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] maddangerous:
No worries! I do appreciate the quick reply though, thanks!
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] whojabacod:
Seems "Dev" mode isn't loading and I can't get lgup to load w out uppercut.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
You probably need uninstall Uppercut. It doesn't work on Oreo anyway, which you will eventually have.

You only need dev patched LGUP. And it has to be installed in the correct location. It has a patched .dll, so it's entirely possible even a previous version of "regular" LGUP may interfere.

So if I provide you a dump of my h933 laf partition.. Would fwul be able to flash it?

sweet it worked. thanks. will prob donate later this week
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Man, I truly appreciate your hard work. This is too risky and complicated for me. This is the only phone I have and I can't afford another one lol. I'll wait for a detailed video on the process. Or maybe an easier process. I wish I was a good programmer to make it as an app. lol

Thank you again. I'm just gonna sit here and watch people enjoy root.

First post update with a laf restore zip that will put the H932 laf back when you are done.

No same thing twrp.img is named right I can see it through android file manager. Amazon is delivering an LG cord tomorrow. but i might try different SD card in a bit. The one i got in there is a 2GB so it should have been okay. And I did format it correctly.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] deronw:
[MENTION=1716969]SweetwaterBurns[/MENTION] - Tried the suggestion to create 2 gb partition on USB and try again. Unfortunately, still getting same result of rebooting to Android OS 10d after selecting factory reset.

Wish I knew how to track down the issue further.

You've been helpful so far. Much appreciated.

---------- Post added at 05:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 PM ----------

Hmm, I suppose I will try a different SDcard as well.

I'll let you know if any success on my side.

Cheers.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] RamDrt:
Hello all. I usually lurk around and figure things out on my own but I am at wits end. I have completed all the prerequisites, downgraded to 10d, ensured that I am oem unlocked, completed procedure part 1, booted FWUL from my usb, entered the correct codes but for the life of me I CaN NoT figure out the key combination after I pull the usb cord.......Lets just say I've tried numerous times. Any help would be appreciated. I've scrolled through quite a few pages because I seem to remember someone posting a vid demonstrating a how-to and have yet to find it.

Edit: I found the video and finally figured out the correct key combo timing but now my phone doesn't boot into twrp. I've double checked my micro to ensure it is named twrp.img (double checked extension). Instead I see a screen that says "Your device has failed a routine safety check and will not boot. This may be a temporary problem. If this message occurs repeatedly, visit this link on another device and refer to the Red case: g.co/ABH

Your device will power off automatically after a while."
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattgyver:
The key combo isn't too bad compared to some I've used in the past. Here's what I wrote up about it a few pages ago:

Just make sure you keep the Vol- button held the entire time, and only really quickly release and rehold the power button once the screen turns on.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] RamDrt:
Thanks for the reply

I finally got the hang of the key combo now for whatever reason my phone won't boot twrp. I edited my previous comment and added the notification I get instead of twrp
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] wills3gslide:
Just an FYI:

Its actually vol- you hold, same for booting into fastboot mode while inserting usb to computer
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattgyver:
Gah... Getting my posts confused. Yes, TWRP/factory reset screen is Vol down.. too many quotes coming from different pages. Sorry, I lost track of myself!
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Xblackberryuser:
Did you reinstall twrp after trying the key combo and not booting to twrp?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] wills3gslide:
Vol+ while inserting cable with phone off will get you download mode

Vol- while inserting cable with phone off will get you fastboot mode

Vol- + Power with phone off until you see LG screen then release power and press/hold again will gain you factory reset menu which is what you are wanting to get in to twrp

I thought I was right so I just double checked, everything stated in this reply is true
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattgyver:
Heh heh, I had to double check myself too. I was wrong. I'll admit it.. this time. Next time, well, you'll just have to assume I'm right. :D
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] wills3gslide:
LoL, you had me boggled for a minute too. I was like hang on I just had to do it messing with Resurrection Remix due to playing with files trying to get wifi going
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattgyver:
Between playing with my Galaxy S4 (there's a pie preview build I've been watching) and this, I've been using both a lot recently. It's so easy to get confused. :D glad I was able to pass that confusion around! :silly:
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] wills3gslide:
LoL, damn pie on S4, awsome:good:
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattgyver:
Public preview boots and gives users the UI to look around in. NOTHING works. But it's really pretty.

The test team's build is nice. It's about 80% functional. It's a fun device to test with!

Sorry... Got O/T there...
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] RamDrt:
After each failed attempt, I start the second part of the procedure from scratch. Boot FWUL, get into dl mode, start up lilac (runningnak3d) icon, enter the commands, pull the USB cable, see factory reset screen, yes twice, get the same screen, your device has failed.....phone turns off and stays off. No twrp. Tried different cables and different USB ports but it just won't work
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
That is because your bootloader is not unlocked. Read the first post from the beginning again.

-- Brian
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] RamDrt:
I'm positive that I have oem unlock in developer options. Though when I fastboot oem unlock all I see is, I believe it says something like device waiting for response and nothing else happens. How long should it take to get a response?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
I don't know about Winblows, but on Linux you have to run fastboot as root if you haven't setup your udev rules correctly -- so I am guessing that you need to right click on cmd and run as administrator.

-- Brian
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] RamDrt:
Im currently booted in FWUL from my usb. I've tried from your lgup icon or just the regular terminal and both display the same thing. < waiting for any device >

And thank you all for chiming in with help, I appreciate it
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] wills3gslide:
Make sure all your drivers are installed correctly for your device:silly:
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] RamDrt:
I'll be honest with you guys, not at all versed in linux here:eek:
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] wills3gslide:
usb drivers for Windows, I run Windows at times as well, it is very finicky with some drivers, especially if you have multiple device drivers installed. I have to reinstall my V30 drivers on a regular basis when I use Windows for it to communicate, thats why I like linux, you just plug in and go besides installing the fastboot and adb drivers 1 time and done.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] RamDrt:
Sounds like this is where I'm failing. I'm logged into FWUL and unsure how to run fastboot as root. I don't have udev rules set because I don't know what those are. I am searching google as I type. Sorry not trying to ask to be spoon fed
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] wills3gslide:
I have a little bit of time, if you want, boot up your FWUL click on teamviewer and pm me your ID and Password
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
I didn't realize you were running fastboot from FWUL. The rules must need to be changed for the V30.

So, type sudo fastboot oem unlock

If you are prompted for a password it is linux .. the same password you use to login.

I will have to look at the FWUL image and add a rule for the V30.

Right now I am still waiting for the asshole to ship my phone, so it may be a bit. Running with sudo will get you through for now.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] wills3gslide:
Brian,

all good, no need to add the rules, just got off teamviewer with [MENTION=4566826]RamDrt[/MENTION] and escalated privilege was not needed. Hes getting ready to flash the 20k.zip from your other thread with a warning to flash magisk right after before rebooting

Hey guys finally got my new H932 in after waiting half a month lol (be careful who you order from on eBay, got a good deal on mine but apparently this seller has 14 day domestic shipping process)

Anyway I literally sat here for about an hour and a half trying to get past the stupid oem unlock step lol and it tunes out the stupid OEM cable that came new with the phone was the issue so just wanted to reinforce the whole try a different cable idea as even the OEM cables aren't immune to issues apparently.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
So what was the problem? I need to know so I can update the first post...

-- Brian
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Xblackberryuser:
I was reading about magisk last night and it clearly said having magisk allows you to do official ota updates without losing root. Does that mean a carrier update or magisk update.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] wills3gslide:
Was kinda strange, he wasn't getting the bootloader unlock screen, checked via fastboot getvar unlocked with verifying it was unlocked, so ran fastboot one unlock again with a reboot and waaalaaa, continued to redoing step 2 and got twrp installed
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] DiscoGecko:
Ok waited for my new LG cord to come today, but it still didnt work. So I found another SD card laying around 2GB formated it Fat32 put the 4 files on there, and it finally happened :) TWRP!!!! So now im gonna go do the rest, Also is there a Rom for us yet?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] wills3gslide:
Taking an ota will wipe recovery partition installing stock recovery, always better to wait till someone makes a stripped ota update so it doesn't overwrite twrp

---------- Post added at 03:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:08 AM ----------

We have a lineage 15.1 and a dirty unicorns pie(buggy as hell), all can be found in the development/kernel thread, just make sure to download the h932 version, if it isn't h932 don't install
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Xblackberryuser:
Brian did say never take an ota on the first page and I believe it. The statement about magisk is contradicting.

How is it done? Taking an ota and stripping it?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] wills3gslide:
Yes, if rooted/twerp, don't ever take a ota unless one of us here put together a flashable zip of the ota making it safe to install, you could possibly even brick a device taking an official ota on a rooted device
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
That could be possible if you spent the time to figure out the bin diff setup that they use. Google provides an implementation guide, but most OEMs don't follow it.

I started to figure out how AT&T does theirs, but then I just didn't care enough.

If you did take an OTA, it will fail since they have SHA checksums that they verify before flashing. Since you have a modified, boot and recovery, it will not install.

However, you are left in a TWRP bootloop which is very easy to fix. I would just advise freezing the fota app.

Is the Lineage buggy or just the DU also is the camera good Lineage?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] wills3gslide:
Lineage works pretty good, you will have the common lineage bugs, but they are minimal.

For the ones thats been waiting for Resurrection Remix for h932, I'm uploading to my AFH right now, if you want it pm me and I'll send the download link to you when it's done, finally got WiFi issue sorted out, will create a page in development/ kernel tomorrow night

Another H932 rooted thanks to you man. ? Kudos!

The instructions look daunting at first but your precise instructions made it simple as long as you pay attention and read it and understand them first. Everything went perfect after my initial USB cable roadblock.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Come to think about it, that same thing happened to me. This model must be very finicky.

I also had to run oem unlock twice
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] deronw:
[MENTION=1803896]DiscoGecko[/MENTION] -

I finally had success rooting my device. Your idea to try a different SD card fixed the problem. Strangely, the first card I used was a brand new one, while the second card I tried was from my wife's old phone. In both cases, I formatted the card to only 2 gb partition. Go figure. Hopefully you have had success on your side as well.

[MENTION=1716969]SweetwaterBurns[/MENTION] - I appreciate your efforts a few days ago to help resolve my issues. By the way, the reason I initially thought FWUL required the phone to be in download mode to boot is because it was not booting with errors when trying to boot normally. This was resolved when I tried booting to VGA Safe mode on the FWUL boot screen. Guess I had some type of issue with my display driver (dual display). Thanks again.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] kangta05:
I've follow steps to a T

Getting an error " your device has failed a routine safety check and will not boot. "

Edit Im getting this error while trying to boot into twrp

I powered off and it will boot back into android as normal. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
If you read the last couple of posts, a guy had the same problem. Your bootloader is not unlocked. You need to run fastboot oem unlock again.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] kangta05:

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] oscarmaldonado:
Hello guys, question, according to OP to install LAF for the first time we're supposed to let LGUP finish once I check DL partition-chech LAF only and start, i read somewhere that as soon as it finishes installing LAF to unplug the phone or am I supposed to let it finish and let the phone reboot by itself, what am I supposed to do? Thanks in advance.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] weakNPCdotCom:
I would use Brian's instructions in the OP. You have to unplug usb during the laf flash for the G6 but according to his writeup you don't have to with the V30. I don't think he would miss something like that. ?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
You can pull it if you want to .. it is a heck of a lot quicker going that route. Since the only partitions that are flashed don't affect the phone as far as booting goes, and they get put back with the second flash, you don't have to.

TL;DR: Do it either way.

-- Brian
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattgyver:
Yep, follow OP. Brian DID have the quick unplug in OP initially because lgup flashed other modified partitions after laf, but [MENTION=3780989]Septembersrain[/MENTION] had accidentally let it run through to complete while recording it. That recording allowed Brian to see that the other partitions are benign. After that, he updated the OP. Throughout this thread, on the early pages, it may still say about pulling the cable. OP (and his following 2 posts after OP) is the only part of the thread you need to worry about :D
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Xblackberryuser:
I didn't pull out, so to speak.:laugh:It was fine

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] weakNPCdotCom:
Worked great [MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION], thank you man! No problems at all. Also, I was able to dd twrp to laf directly within fwul and recovery twrp before I even booted to system. Can't thank you enough
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] oscarmaldonado:
I'm really sorry guys, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, after the installation of TWRP I unplugged the cable and the phone shuts off as it supposed to and when I do the button combination it does not get me to press yes and yes to get me to TWRP. This is what I get. Thanks in advance.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattgyver:
That's been happening when the bootloader needs to be unlocked again. Run through the bootloader unlock process one more time, then try getting into twrp.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] oscarmaldonado:
Thanks bud, I'll try it. Thanks.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] oscarmaldonado:
Alright bud, what I did several times I repeated the same process over and over with the same results, tried a 1gb as well as a 4gb micro sd cards formatted fat32, tried a few lg data cables, to me it looks like TWRP is not installed every time I try to reboot to it(TWRP), also when I do the button combination it just gets me to the warning screen I previously posted and if I keep them pressed it will continue rebooting to the same screen, I know what the screen looks like because I also have a V20 and a G6 so I'm familiar with the button combination. Is there anything else I can try?Thanks in advance.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattgyver:
Did you make sure that the file is twrp.img and NOT twrp.img.img. Windows hides the file extension by default. You need to make sure file extension are visible. The steps to be sure are different depending on Windows version.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] oscarmaldonado:
Thanks for your help, yes I renamed it to twrp.img and yes it only has 1 extension .img. and with the last command !ctrl poff-enter a blue line goes across the screen when I'm on download mode showing 100%. Thanks.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
That's normal. It goes 0 to 100 instantly and won't restart until you pull the cord .
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] oscarmaldonado:
Yes, I got that part but for some reason I can't reboot into TWRP with the button combination. Thanks.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattgyver:
And you've verified that your bootloader is unlocked? Not just by looking in Developer Options, at the OEM Unlock slider, but also by just running fastboot oem unlock again. It really won't hurt to run it again to be sure.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Boot to system and adb reboot recovery to see if stock recovery is even there first
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] oscarmaldonado:
I tried to unlock the bootloader again and it failed... because it was already unlocked. Thanks.

---------- Post added at 03:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 AM ----------

Yes sir, I can definitely try that. Thanks for that suggestion.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] SweetwaterBurns:
All you should have to do is release the power button for half a second when the LG logo pops up (keep volume down pressed the whole time) and press power again. That screen is normal, you'll get that for as long as the bootloader is unlocked.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] oscarmaldonado:
Yes thanks for that suggestion, I'm familiar with the button combination because of my V20, G6 and now this thing...V30.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
What happened when you adb reboot recovery?

[MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION]...

Just rooted another V30 this afternoon. Some notes and changes.

[MENTION=3138121]seadersn[/MENTION] has been nice enough to make us a "basic" current TWRP version. It's more like the version [MENTION=3475147]SGCMarkus[/MENTION] had for us for several months, but just updated to TWRP v3.2.3-4 with all the fixes. He gave it to me to test... I just used today and it works great. The one in the op in this thread is the older one by [MENTION=3475147]SGCMarkus[/MENTION], TWRP-3.2.1-joan-v0.1.img

The all-in-one (advanced) TWRP [MENTION=3138121]seadersn[/MENTION] offers in his TWRP release thread (which includes ability to vendor partition for GSI purposes) intimidates some people. So, a "default" version to get through bootloader unlock and root is better.

TWRP-3.2.3-4-default.img

(Ignore the fact that Android File Hosts says it's for "H930". It's for all V30, including H932. That's a glitch on the hosting site.)

AFTER installing this TWRP, you can always go install the "all-in-one" (advanced TWRP). But just looking through it, I don't see anything "missing" most people need. I plan on just keeping this one for my own phone!

For those already with TWRP -- if you wish to try it this slightly different one, just download, boot to your TWRP and choose "install", then look down at lower right on the screen choose "Img". Install, then in TWRP, choose "reboot to recovery" for it to launch the new version. Again, you can always install the all-in-one version later at any time.
