I believe that error ( which is actually not an error at all ) is due to you not making a hash check.

---------- Post added at 08:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 PM ----------

That actually makes perfect sense. Also yeah, I'm not doing a vendor either. I care less about tribble. I would not even take a 9.0 update.

I just don't like the gester base system the way Google implemented it.

On an iPhone it's awesome.

Also I don't like that 9.0, it's no longer 3 nav buttons, it's just 2 now.

I know this was a bit off topic.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] seadersn:
that's because the string (=message) is missing in theme :good: nothing problematic. (i think; i will check that)

[MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION] nope, better not :D the one you have is perfect and will stay a while uptodate. i'll pm you when it comes :good:

jep, broken, definitely. this was just too much xD
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Emu:
The two versions make perfect sense to me. I don't want to back up data image because it's too big. OP is not confusing anyone. Thank you, I no longer need Tipatch. :good:

The second option should be the recommended one for everyone. It's simple enough. Data image is pure overkill. I've said it before and I'll say it again. It's completely unnecessary and dangerous to backup all of the empty space. You don't leave any room for your phone to properly align partitions. Let it resize the partitions automatically.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] seadersn:
including internal sd content in a data partition backup isn't standard, for no recovery. the default is only userdata (and kernel, system etc of course). i, personally, would call the data_image version a default version, because it leaves a choice for people to backup everything on their data partition including internal sd via data_image function, or simply data alone. the other version is more of an extra because not everyone needs this, though it makes sense to include (at least parts of) internal storage content, as there is much stuff stored too.

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

k, folks, don't cry, but: there's another update... :eek: this one, for sure, will stay for a while, because now there are a) enough options (maybe too much for some ppl) and b) it's in a state one can call it "out of testing phase" or similar. please update to the latest version, it's the easiest method for everyone in terms of support etc.

there's still a little bit work i like to do like init support and maybe including an edited version of the vendorizing script (then to be called via a button from inside recovery), but it will take a while until i will update this recovery again. at least a week xD or two, maybe... need a little break, real life is getting exhausting atm... i'm here for answering questions of course, but development will stall a while.

whoaaa... seader... what changed? again...!? with the actual versions available some scripts (rare cases) won't be executed correctly because of a missing lib, which now is added. you can call this an update for "increased compatibility for flashable zips and scripts". so to be on the sure side for flashing stuff...: you know what to do :D (update pls)

i don't know if i should say "sorry for updating this recovery that often", but you anyway saw it: most of the updates were needed :good:

and this particular error should be gone now, added this text entry to the xml file and updated the attachments in third post :good:

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I installed the latest build through existing TWRP. Rebooted to TWRP, and then rebooted to system. Phone booted without issue, however, my ability to unlock with fingerprint is gone. Ability to reset fingerprint is gone. This happened on an earlier build, and I ended up reflashing Westwood 24's 20D flashable. Should this be happening, and am I the only one experiencing this?

Went back to recovery, wiped dalvick/cache. Wipe success, but got unable to mount storage error. Rebooted to system, and fingerprint access had returned.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] seadersn:
you did nothing special in recovery or with restoring or ...? this shouldn't happen in any case, especially not when only flashing a new image. and i don't think that this could be connected to the option to leave loclscreensettings out when restoring, because you need to restore data for that. i can't see how this is connected to recovery 0_o

what do you mean with ability gone? the menu entries in your ROM aren't there anymore?? and unable to mount storage: when did this appear? which version, DataIMG or IntSD? and what are your installed mods for your ROM? magisk modules, flashable zips etc.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Ballroomblitz:
That's correct. Really strange. The ability to even select fingerprint option in settings was gone.

Took a screenshot of the mount storage error, but can't find it. :p
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] seadersn:
they are in either /sdcard/pictures/screenshots or <external sdcard>/pictures/screenshots :good:

have you seen the additional questions in my post above yours?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] hitokage004:
It appears you forgot to update the MD5 checksums in the first post - Android File Host shows them as 110cc65270cceb76fa5e5a4a715946d9 for TWRP-3.2.3-5-DataIMG.img and b72cc4e448690a3b51cd0d0530fd6d20 for TWRP-3.2.3-5-IntSD.img. I got an error the first time using DownloadThemAll! and having it verify the checksum as I copied it from the thread instead of the AFH page.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] DrPhant0m:
I've long had issues backing up my internal storage for when I get a new phone, or need to *completely* wipe my phone and reinstall the OS from a KDZ (for instance). You simply can't connect an Android phone to a Windows computer and back up 64-128GB by dragging and dropping. It will always fail or "finish" prematurely. Other methods aren't very simple or complete, either.

In what format is the internal storage backed up, in this new version with "data including storage?" Is it in a normal file tree that could easily be copied to a new phone (worst case scenario, the new phone is not BL unlocked, nor has root) or copied to a Windows computer for archival ... or is it compressed in DAT (or similar) files that can only be extracted by TWRP (hence an issue if the new phone is not unlocked and/or rooted)?

Bonus points... if anyone has a good method of synching internal and external storage to a local network Windows file system over wifi, let me know. I used to use FolderSync, but then I updated my server and it no longer uses SMB1 (which is all FolderSync supported). I'm currently trying out SMBSync2, but it never actually finishes synching (FolderSync didn't finish every time either, but it would eventually run enough times to finish every once in a while).

Thanks
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
I mean it will finish just fine if your have a good processor and have Windows on a sizable SSD...and have at least 8gb of ram .-.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] seadersn:
oops, jep! sry, update soon :D

[MENTION=3085711]DrPhant0m[/MENTION] from what i've read it's an tar archive; then you can extract it with winrar on pc for example.

mtp can be picky sometimes... this already jangled my nerves hard :D

Is there a way to set a password on TWRP in case I lose my phone?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] seadersn:
unfortunately not, in twrp it's only possible when backing up. you can set a password protection for the backed up partitions so noone can extract them on a pc e.g.

I have a Ryzen 26000 with 16gb DDR4. Win10 is on an M.2 SSD, but I copy to a 16TB array of local sata6 hdds. The phone is a V30s.

Specs are not an issue. I've always had problems with copying large amounts from a phone. When I plug my 200gb SD card in through a USB adapter, it copies quickly and completely.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] 4tune:
Against odds I tried some other kdz's, no luck. It all doesn't seem to work on our V30.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] seadersn:
hmmkay, i think we leave this out in the next one, no sense in keeping it if it's not working for v30. thank you for testing more kdz's and final confirmation :good:

I have a 400GB Micro SD on my phone and back up my music (10GB at the moment) to my 500GB SSD and it takes about 20 minutes to complete....and I have a Ryzen 1300x and 16 GB of ram I back up my music every time I add 1-2 GB from downloading lol
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] DrPhant0m:
I'm always good with copying from microSD... when I pop it out of the phone and use a USB adapter on my computer, bypassing the phone completely. When I go through the phone, all hell breaks loose. (The device disconnects, the transfer just STOPS without completing or any errors, etc)

It's not the V30. The same thing has been happening for generations of my phones, various Samsung and LG models. Various computers, too. Not just microSD either... the internal storage is just as bad (usually worse?). I'm not sure exactly why it has to be like this... but accessing files through a USB cable in large quantities (or for extended periods) has always been an issue.

This is why I don't "adopt" my microSD. I like being able to take it out and copy to/from the card in the event of a backup or when I upgrade or replace the card. Mating my SD card to my phone and not being able to access it from another device is a scary thought to me.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] BROKEN1981:
Your USB ports got trashed. Too much noise with the cable running from your phone. Could either be your MB or the cable connecting to the MB connected to the USB header.

Edit, I read your entire post. How many USB ports are in use on your computer? Sounds like you are connecting everything and slowing down speeds.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] friedCELLS:
I hardly have anything on internal storage. And the Android and data folder on internal can sometimes cause issues. Not often. But sometimes. I always prefer totally clean flashes.

---------- Post added at 09:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 AM ----------

Sorry for delay. Not on here often. Next backup worked as expected. Maybe I was exhausted and made a mistake on the first one. BTW, when I tried to ADB sideload something, phone just crashes and reboots as soon as I swipe to start. Tried a few times. Known issue? I think I'm still on 2 versions old now. Will update soon.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] seadersn:
it's nothing to do with the hardware / pc which is used or sth like that: it's just the media transfer protocol. good old times with android's storages mounted as usb mass storage are over, mtp is the new sh¡t. only positive side on it is android being able to use it while you are accessing its sdcard/extSD.

adb sideload doesn't work in recovery? this is for zips only, not apps or copying stuff, iirc. but i don't know if it works, i didn't test it. looks like i need to test :good:

So has anyone had success using the party.zip to create a vendor partition on our device? ADB has been sort of temperamental for me on my laptop so I'm a little hesitant to try the manual method
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] seadersn:
just take SGCMarkus' script pls, which is for our phone and uses system partition, which is more compatible to.all this vendor and treble stuff :good: party is only able to use the data partition which can cause problems: beside the fact, that it isn't for our phone. or is there a new version, altered for v30? i won't support party script vendors, sry ;)
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] lafont28:
I didn't see that Markus made a zip. I'll have to look at his guide again, I must have missed it when I read through. Thanks for answering so quickly!!
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] seadersn:
:good: :D
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] lafont28:
I found Markus's zip. I don't think it's a flashable though, it looks like it just contains the scripts for the ADB method. I'll hold off for now. The last thing I need is a really expensive paper weight lol
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] seadersn:
nope, it isn't flashable, but it's very easy to go through it. it's better the way it is (non automatic), when errors show up you can abort in time.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] BADA 187:
yes i used party.zip and it used the system without any issues.

same thing for removing vendor partition no issues.

i got the h930
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] friedCELLS:
Yes. It was a zip. But it wouldn't even go more than 3 seconds after swiping to start adb sideload before rebooting phone. There's a very specific reason why I need to flash this particular zip via adb rather than the normal way. Trying to bypass some checks that the zip does when flashed the normal way.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] seadersn:
hmm, now i'm interested ;) can we do this together in a telegram session? makes sense to test this with the file which causes (maybe*) 'disbehaviour', i would like to see these checks: it sounds to me like this zip isn't intended for our phone, could this be? anyway, let's do this together with your zip, just hit me a pm, i'd tell you the details then :good:

"maybe: could be that crashing is a default reaction of twrp for this particular zip only
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] friedCELLS:
I no longer need to flash this. I was trying to install NanoMod MicroG on stock rooted Oreo on H932. Spent 2 days trying to get it to work. Everything would be fine except PlayStore would crash MicroG gms core and never open. Read about possible conflicts with the package being installed and injected into Magisk. But can't install a Rom on our H932 without Magisk immediately after or we lose root and have to do the root process again. And flashing Nanomod detects Magisk and installs it in a different way than if there were no Magisk. I was curious if it would install without detecting Magisk if it was sideloaded. But I guess it would probably still detect it. Was just a random idea out of utter deliriousness of over 24 hours trying to get it to work. I finally gave up and just flashed Lineage instead, which I had no issues installing MicroG for. But of course, I've lost Wi-Fi calling, HDMI out, and other things that I really like and even need. Trying some workarounds for those for now.

BTW, I had made another backup of Stock before flashing Lineage. After flashing Lineage, and setting up a lot of it for several hours, I realized that I had some gallery photos that I had locked on stock that I could now not access. So I then made a backup of Lineage, restored my Stock backup without issue, unlocked the files, and went to restore my Lineage backup. Everything looks fine during the restore, everything says success, I reboot, and it only boots to fastboot mode! Tried rebooting several times, always fastboot mode. Even had a hard time getting back into TWRP as it would go to fastboot mode screen almost immediately before I could click the power button the 2nd time. I thought I was screwed! Finally managed to get back into TWRP, wiped System, caches, data. Tried only restoring system and boot, no data, same thing.....could only boot to fastboot mode. Wiped again, restored again with system, boot, and data, same result. I can't restore the backup even though the size, the name, the restore process all seems correct until it boots into fastboot mode and nothing else. No cables attached, no buttons pressed. Just trying to power on. But goes into fastboot mode every time after restoring that backup. Don't have any idea if for some reason having all the Nanomod MicroG and Xposed stuff in that backup messes up something? Had to reinstall everything from scratch again. But I'm now terrified that I can never make a backup of my current Lineage setup with MicroG, or install anything else ever again, for fear that my backups won't restore. :crying:
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] seadersn:
i had this fastboot problem too... two times with some of the new versions and more times with the older one from markus (but more times only because the older one was much longer in use than the newer one), no.matter which ROM or kernel setup. i've found why it does this: boot image isn't restored correctly sometimes. i couldn't get any info til now why this happens, what causes this, and i don't know if this is recovery related or kernel related. my thoughts tend more to recovery itself since i've tried different kernels, which didn't make any difference. for my backups i have a workaround if this case happens again: i made a diskdump of boot partition when everything is set up in booted android itself and keep this image available on my pc and on my phone. so in case this happens again i can flash this dd boot.img either via image flashing function of twrp (booting into twrp works just fine when device is rebooting to fastboot mode after a restore) or via fastboot mode. i'll keep an eye at this, maybe there's a fix at some point of time for that.

ok, so we can cancel this special zip testing procedure, it's the zip itself, you think? thinking that too, because sideloading doesn't trigger less checks done.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] friedCELLS:
Good idea about the boot image. Will definitely be doing that next time I make a backup. Yes, my sideload idea was a bad one. I was dying from frustration and tiredness and thought maybe if it was sideloaded, it would behave differently.

I'm having this weird issue where after backup all partition (excluding internal storage) of us998e stock rom, then restore it, wifi switch wont be turn on
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] seadersn:
it's like a curse... i don't like modem partitions anymore -.- you are the second person which has this problem. for the first person i thought it was a rom which he flashed, but i'll exclude the modem (firmware) backup and restore function from twrp in the next version i think :eek:

you may need to reflash your modem partition. you can either a full kdz or westwoods twrp flashable firmware zip. do you need assistance for that? then just call me via private message, we can do this together :good:

i'll update the twrp version soon with a version which has fw excluded from backing up and restoring.

which twrp image version do you have installed?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Mrxyzl:
Oh so it was because of those partitions :good: i use upgrade funtion in lgup to get back wifi already. No problem for me :highfive:

I used TWRP-3.2.3-5-DataIMG.img
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] seadersn:
jep, unfortunately :( i've updated recovery with removed modem / firmware partition for backup. links following soon.

thx for feedback! always very good when someone knows how to help himself ;) :good:
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Mrxyzl:
oh turns out i should backup and restore system boot and data partition, backup and restore other partition cause the wifi problem
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] seadersn:
it's only the modem partition, which is mounted as vfat (as it is in stock ROM too), but this isn't intended for being backed up and restored as it looks, because this just doesn't work. noone should mess with critical modem partition :D damn...

k, folks:

there's a problem with older recovery versions, which could lead to a non working wlan switch if restoring modem/firmware partitions! i want to call all of you to

delete the firmware and modem backup files out of your backup folder and update to the newest version (links are updated)

, just to prevent it to be restored by accident and you not having working wlan anymore!

btw: it's a critical rule that one should always restore only the partitions which were changed and are needed to restore. this mainly means system, boot and userdata are, in 90% of all cases, the only ones needed to restore in case something goes wrong with your android setup and you need to restore.

so, pls, and sorry, update to the latest version. this has firmware/modem backup fixed and no more an image flashing function for modem. i should've done this much earlier, or better i should've never included this one... these entries in fstab were there since the beginning but disabled because of decryption not working. we need them for decryption, but, as it turned out, for nothing more.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] seadersn:
hmmkay, felt like this is worth a version number increase lol... so recompiled latest version, changed version number and updated links.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] seadersn:
guess what... how should we handle version numbering now, if modem partition would be backupable and restorable & flashable via image? image either taken from kdz and renamed to .img (instead of .bin) or from westwoods zip or a diskdump image you did yourself from your existing modem. all tested and working, when the emmc mount and backup / flashimg flags are used on it in fstab :good:

btw: would be nice to have a "modem database", maybe we can get a collection up. we could collect all the modems from different models and firmwares, in an extra thread. should we? or is there already one and i've overlooked that.

and yeah, what about the version number, i would suggest -6a ;)

gn8 for now :angel:

Couple of days ago I restored a backup that was made with 3.2.3-3 I believe or earlier, with 3.2.3-4default. Modem was included in the backup and no ill side effects. I then deleted that backup and made another with 3.2.3-4default. So now I should delete the backup from 3.2.3-4default and make another with -6default?

Edit: On the most recent default in red, it says "Unable to locate 'modem' partition for backup calculations." Normal I'm guessing, since that was an issue for some?
