wow! nice! I'll try that when I can (I have kids too lol). Another question, the kernel used is, I suppose, the one in prebuilt. If I make changes to kernel code will the built twrp uses those changes or will it continue to use the prebuilt one? If 2nd case I suppose I can still replace it by the produced gz-dtb from my compiled kernel.

Edit: Everything went well! For the kernel I overwrote prebuilt kernel with the one from my custom LOS15.1 build, first tested using fastboot boot command (just to be cautious) then flashed, all was ok.

Anyway, what would need to be done to directly use the kernel that can be compiled in the same repo? I saw in BoardConfig.mk some options to point to source/defconfig etc

Maybe someone can make sense of this.

After installing seadersn's recovery image TWRP-3.2.3.0-tfp-kdz-2.img. from this post I am experiencing some issue with busybox pro.

When bb pro is installed, I can't reboot using reboot manager app. I do get message that it's been granted super user rights, but nothing happens. I tried another app and it does the same thing. If I reboot using hardware button, the phone reboots and I then have the ability to use reboot manager app to reboot to recovery. However, when I reboot the device, busybox pro does not remove and reinstall even though that feature is selected.

The only thing that I did not do immediately after flashing the twrp image was reboot directly to recovery. I did flash the TWRP-3.2.3.0-tfp.img and then booted directly to recovery from twrp and I still am experiencing this issue. Probably don't need to mention, but I never lose root access.

Not a huge deal, but rather more of an inconvenience. Open market us-998

Any ideas?

(Quoted wrong post but opinion still stands :P)
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] seadersn:
nah... ;) heroes created twrp sources etc :D :good:

btw, test recovery should be good to go for everyday use beside non-working adb sideload and no ability of reading encrypted userdata partitions. regarding adb: markus told me some missing props, they made it working, thx for that :) expect an updated test version sometime these days.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] seadersn:
k, there is a small easteregg available in first post: a first, fully usable 3.3.0 version with almost everything back in, except data_image, /data/media inclusion and decryption. adb fully works, mtp, flashing, mounting, exclusion of lockscreen settings when restoring, partitions, so far almost everything. you tell if there's sth missing ;) restoring a backup done with previous versions, even the "internal sdcard included in backup" version, is okay too, full compatibility given. just remember to wipe out data and internal sdcard before restoring such a internal sdcard included backup.

next step is to do some kernel changes needed for pie, and then, when official pie finally is available, hopefully getting decryption stuff to work.

have fun using it, it works as it should, based on my testings :good: but, pls, if you find something strange or a non-working function / "bugs", report back and tell it here :)

Heard that the sources are more near to pie now. Is there also a progress in encryption support with Android Pie? Because I feel a little bit uncomftable with my data accessible through removing the lockscreen password in TWRP. ?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] seadersn:
we'll see :) at some point of time for sure. i'm testing oreo stock first, then the aosp versions. can you tell me which pie aosp roms are encryptable? this is a crucial, timesaving info for me :D pex is, need to confirm again what it's using, but rom encrypts fine.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] seadersn:
looks like pie firmware is urgently needed to get any decryption to work with pie twrp 3.3.0, either stock/aosp oreo or pie aosp. so plans changed: decryption stuff will be seriously worked on again when official pie is released for v30. maybe i do some trials regarding that in the meantime, but i'm not so optimistic to get this running earlier :(
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jimbomodder:
I run decrypted all the time so will it work just fine for me with the whole encryption thing?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] seadersn:
i did the full test with it and everything worked so far, so i say yes :) i don't have it installed and use the previous version because of the encr. stuff, but there are more than 100 downloads in the meantime and no one complained, so it should really be okay :good:
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Black Manta:

Can I flash the TWRP flashable zip for Stock LG 8.1 Oreo through the New 3.3.0-0 Pie recovery? I'm thinking I can but I just want to make sure.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
No. There is no stock LG 8.1 Oreo for any V30/V30+/V30S.

Thus, there are no TWRP-flashable zips for stock 8.1 Oreo. ;)
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Klimon5:
Apologies I meant the TWRP flashable LG Stock Oreo for H930. As in H930 21w TWRP flashable stock firmware. Would this not flash through the new 3.3.0-0 Pie TWRP?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
Probably the beta 3.3.0-0 Pie TWRP will work for that purpose. [MENTION=3138121]seadersn[/MENTION] has probably tested it on his own TWRP-flashable zips.

What people have had trouble with on the 3.3 BETA TWRP is flashing the files needed for initial root, specifically the no encryption and no root check files. They had to use the stable TWRP 3.2.3-7 for that... Just flashing a ROM seems OK with the beta, and that's basically what the TWRP-flashable zips are.

Just be sure to read the directions about ALSO flashing prior version before going to EU H930 21w. You need EU H930 21o as foundation. See here in post #1 at the link below:

Thanks we'll just have to wait and see. I'm not asking if there are any technical limitations. I'm not knowledgeable on that. I just know how to install the software and root ?. All I know is that the developers are still working out all of the kinks for all things Android Pie related so I wasn't sure if there would be any issues.

Twrp false error

[MENTION=3250376]

UPDATE: resolved the issue below by following the steps for TWRP in the WTF thread. The error message is gone during backups. now. Additionally TWRP backups are now restoring without needing to reboot recovery again. Can't stress enough the importance of having good backups on SD card and transferred to safe place. Same goes for TiBu and sms if that's something you care about.

ChazzMatt[/MENTION] here's a screen of this error. I'm on LS998 27a. So far I checked download mode and I still have it. I also tried flashing TWRP again from TWRP and ADB. Both flashed successfully but the error persists. I don't mind if at worst case I need to clean install even with KDZs. However, I'd rather not. I also noticed that I can restore backups but I just need to reboot recovery first. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Btw, what's the other error? Is it also related to download mode or what?

Newb question here, but is there any difference between flashing 9.0 Pie ROMs with 3.3 beta as opposed to using the "Oreo" 3.2 build?

So for example using 3.2 to flash HavocOS 9.0.. Is there any benefit to using 3.3 to flash that instead?

little typo there :silly: (3.2.3-7)

AOSP pie roms work with both TWRP (3.2.3-7 and 3.3.x)

but there is a bug on TWRP 3.3.x where it gets stuck when flashing AnyKernel2 zips.

so if someone flashes AK2 kernels a lot 3.2.3-7 is recommended :D

wonderful, a little more feedback from the flashaholics with ver 3.3 is very welcome :) :good: and if logs are available, the better ;)

3.2.3-7 is the one which is capable of everything and should be preferred by everyone, 3.3 is in early beta stage only and needs additional love.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] BADA 187:
Yeah i did try getting logs from 3.3.x. i flashed ak2 zips on purpose to get logs in the hopes it would show something so it can be fixed.

But every time i flashed anything, the "last_log" would be empty (0 bytes). as if twrp does not have permission to write to system or so.. (thats what it feels like).

Maybe that gives you some sense of direction why TWRP 3.3.x is not generating any logs at all. :confused:

thnx for the work btw. :)

Ok
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] seadersn:
omg, this is a start from the beginning... but it's started, at least.

- installed pie update on phone and modified this for... let's call it "not disturbing twrp deving and testing"

- updated sources to full clean pie twrp, need to start fresh with this

- updated device tree with files and .rc's from pie ota update

- updated kernel image for twrp

- added firmware files for decryption because linking somehow didn't work anymore

- and some other stuff

but it's not sufficient, it needs more for the main points like

- getting external sdcards mounted automatically (twrp can't mount / handle them atm)

- being able to decrypt userdata

let's see what's left to do after this is done, and this will take a while because i need time. maybe i get another some free hours later; i hope so :D

this for a first info. pls be patient ;)
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] seadersn:
i had some additional hours yesterday and the result was absolutely better than expected :) after some finetuning and flag playing most of the services needed for pie decryption are coming up and are listening. it even recognizes correctly if a pattern, pw or pin was used for secure startup; but unfortunately doesn't decrypt it... looks like vold changes are needed. i hope it's easily solveable and doesn't eat up much more valuable time :D when this is done, then there are some additional tasks to do for a flawless twrp experience, but this should be more easy to solve.

i'll keep you updated :good: :) i would like to say that coming wednesday is the day, but i can't promise it, sry. maybe a first beta / pre-final can be released then: btw, it would be nice if someone with oreo stock encrypted fw installed could do one or two tests with the new recovery, because we want and need a single recovery which is fully working for both oreo and pie, stock and aosp. hard goal i believe...

[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] seadersn:
good morning :)

ok, after yesterdays edits with 3.3 recovery i think: we will stay with 8.1 recovery... for me it looks like pie branch (3.3.1) is really supposed to be used for a/b native oreo / pie devices, which our v30 simply isn't. 8.1 branch should be able to decrypt pie too, it's used for a big pallette of older legacy devices which got updates for pie, and some of them have twrp decrypt enabled. beside that there's not much changed in 3.3.1, which makes it no "absolutely must have" update: all it offers is available in 3.2 too, there's no critical new stuff for us. for a/b devices there is ;) but...

so, for now, 3.2.3 / 8.1 oreo branch is the one to use for our v30, even with pie. it's capable of flashing everything (3.3 isn't, our dmverity and rct disabler zips e.g. won't flash and will abort with an error). it works just fine with a non-encrypted v30 updated to beta pie ota. it's too much work to change everything to make it working nicely with our older device. so if you're on pie ota already, install 3.2.3 and flash rct / dmverity / encryption disabler and you're good to go for backups, flashing etc pp :good:

i've got a 3weeks vacation in 1½weeks, and have ~ 1week of free time available then to work on this: the other two weeks we drive away. i think we will get an update then ;) hopefully then there's already official pie available for us. for now i'll concentrate on work, it's a hard time because we are missing manpower (due to vacation time ;)) and it really fuggs me hard... let's wait for time in which my brain and body is more fit and can concentrate better on this :)

see ya! :good:

I just recently bought a 128 gb external SD card for my lgv30. I am currently on the twrp flashable us998 (h, I think) rom. My phone was originally the Verizon vs996. I formatted the SD card on my phone before using it. I have since stored about 15 gb in pictures and music files mostly.

My internal phone storage (64gb) was completely full, so I wanted to transfer things to my external SD card to give me back extra storage space on my internal phone. I use the 3.2.3.7 twrp.

Now my question. The other day I decided to do a new twrp backup as the one I had, was from a backup in May (I think). Twrp said I did not have enough room on my internal storage to do a backup there, so, I did a twrp back up to my external SD card. The question is, I can not find the backup. There is a twrp backup folder, but it is empty. But, at the same time, the external SD card used up about 10 or so gb. But, I don't know where it went to. I will show some screen shots that, hopefully, reflect what I just said?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] HueyT:
Ext. SD card has 4gb file size limit (due to Fat32 which the phone likes) so if you try to back up there it didn't work. You have to put in on the phone (internal storage for system.img to fit as it's >6gb in size)
