[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] TotallyAnxious:
I was wrong. You can't flash the ota. I think it's related to the fact I have twrp and not stock recovery. It reboots to twrp whether I use the Verizon hidden menu fota features and LG UP. The fact Verizon uses some debian (I think) package format is probably partially to make taking OTAs harder with root. And then the need for stock recovery too.

I suppose you could flash stock recovery via LG Up with the partition selection one and then try flashing the OTA via LG UP or the Verizon hidden menu, then flashing twrp via fastboot or whatever.

Though it would require you to not actually boot the phone till you reflash magisk and disable root detection and disable encryption.

I'm just thinking out loud.

It could be like with 20f and 20g. They were released so close together I'm pretty sure the 20g kdz was actually available first.

I mean I guess it's possible the "I" name was accidentally added to the H kdz before being pushed for release. Not like we have the H kdz to compare too. It could also be possible that Verizon is like **** root users and decided to **** with us. Loljk

Issues with uninstalling any system apps with Titanium Back

I unlocked and rooted a Verizon LG V30 VS996 by following the Frankenstein method. All worked as intended, and I've successfully installed xposed framework. The ROM works great. My only issue is how the phone will become soft bricked at the Verizon splash screen, infinitely loading the little sphere animation. After an "abd reboot recovery", and a dirty flash of the ROM, all is back to normal. I've also tried only uninstalling irrelevant bloatware, LG Health for example, and that causes the loop as well. It seems like it isn't app specific. It's as if the ROM doesn't seem to like titanium uninstalling.

Anyone else having this issue?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] mac62:
I had the same problem when I uninstalled bloat on VS99620G with Titanium. Freezing the apps works fine though.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] NerdyHunter:
Same. I've had no problems with freezing apps. Thanks for the confirmation.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] my.ads0:
Hey all. I've neglected a number of the past updates and am still on 20D. I'd like to update to the latest ROM over the coming days. I saw a post somewhere stating that the best path for upgrading is to flash each of the previous ROMS, let it settle for a while, then flash the next one. Can someone confirm what updates I need?

Looking at John Fawkes' folder here , I only see updates 20g & 20i. [MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION] 's post here states that E & F are just security updates and that there are no actual files for them. I also think I read that 20H was never an actual thing and that the names skipped from G to I.

Sooo...is my path of upgrade just flashing G & I over my D, letting each settle and then going about my business?

Additionally, I uninstalled some of the LG apps using Titanium. Will this cause me issues as per the Titanium issues being described above? Will I need to reinstall the removed apps and then just freeze them before flashing or is the issue only with uninstalling new apps and old uninstalled apps should be fine?

I'm trying my best not to have to install fresh. I always hate reinstalling all of my apps and setting up everything up "just so" again. Any info you can share on my upgrade path and issues I might face would be really appreciated.

Thanks all.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] JohnFawkes:
Well e and f are for us998....
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
Others have said recently (with Sprint firmware?) they were not able to remove some system "bloatware" with Titanium Backup. (I happen to like LG Fit, but if you don't then it's bloatware.)

But whether that's a Titanium Backup problem or not, try freezing with Titanium Backup instead of uninstalling.

Here's my points for freezing vs forced removal (which may not work anyway):

1) You're not really "saving" any space by uninstalling, since the system space you are removing it from is different from the user space.

2) Freezing makes the app disappear from view and it will not run, which still gets rid of it.

3) With the package disabler apps (not Titanium Backup) people found that removing a bunch of stuff sometimes caused the phone to actually run slower as a lot of things are connected. Not like years ago when all system apps were "standalone" modules you could cleanly extract. Just saying, freezing will not cause a firmware routine hole that might result in unintended lag, which outright removal might create. Probably not relevant with LG Fit, of course, but with other system apps.

Example: I don't really use Twitter. I initially uninstalled it, but next time I updated firmware and it was back (LG bloatware), instead I've now frozen it in Titanium Backup. I don't see it, it doesn't nag me to log in, it's not in my app drawer.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
I know this is Verizon VS996 thread, but you're sort of asking US998-related questions mixed in, so let's get that out of the way...

The upgrade problems you mentioned are mostly from US998 users on much older firmware suddenly jumping to US998 F & G, where LG made a lot of changes to audio framework due to DTS. Even for some custom ROMs you have to downgrade to US998 E, as having US998 F or US998 G will cause loss of audio on custom ROMs:

RESURRECTION REMIX

Whereas I'm on rooted stock firmware, I love the DTS (enabled by [MENTION=6815443]JohnFawkes[/MENTION] build prop edits) and the

equalizer you can install

(seems to depend on the DTS libs).

How does this all pertain to the VS996? Well, Verizon firmware is out of sync with US998 in both features and letters. VS996 didn't get Oreo with full ThinQ AI will VS996 20B -- while ALL other variants got that with 20A. (Don't ask why, it's Verizon.) Only with VS996 20i did Verizon finally get the DTS framework US998 had since US998 20F (and now G). (Don't ask why, it's LG.)

So, for US998 users, we suggested dirty flashing US998 E first, then F, then G -- and rebooting in between.

For Verizon, the equivalent would be flashing VS996 20G (the KDZ just prior to DTS), rebooting, let it settle, then flash VS996 20i (the only VS996 KDZ currently with DTS).

IF you want to chance it, and go straight from VS996 20D to 20i, it's your phone. But for US998, we had enough reports to recommend stages.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] my.ads0:
Thanks ChazzMatt. I appreciate you chiming in.

Just to be clear, I didn't mention US998, or at least not intentionally. I guess I did round-aboutly by discussing the US998-only updates.

Additionally, I didn't discuss the DTS issue. Though it is mentioned in this thread, I didn't reference those posts, nor is it a concern of mine.

The posts referring to problems with Titanium Backup are in this thread, just one page back (page 14) and seemingly, unless I'm not reading it correctly, are related to the VS996 ROM (specifically, posts 136 & 137).

What I wrote above was just consolidating everything I had read across this and other threads and was, perhaps, not a very clear way of confirming that I my update path was simply flashing G & I to get current.

If I misrepresented that, I apologize.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
But the DTS upgrade is why you may have trouble flashing straight to the latest stock firmware from much earlier firmware. That's why I mentioned it. ;) We first discovered this with the US998.

I would flash the VS996 version just prior to DTS, flash Magisk, reboot, then flash the current VS996 (DTS) 20i version.

[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] my.ads0:
Sorry if I'm being thick., but isn't the VS996 version just prior to DTS the 20g version? So aren't I just flashing 20g/magisk, letting it settle, then flashing 20i/magisk?

Isn't that what I more or less asked in my original post?

Well, for whatever reason, that didn't go so well.

I installed the newest TWRP.

Did a Nandroid of system, system image and data.

I Wiped Dalvik/cache/.

I installed 20G.

I installed Magisk.

Phone wouldn't boot into the ROM. Stuck at LGV30 logo.

Got back to recovery. Tried using the Magisk Uninstaller, but still wouldn't boot.

Wiped the system. Tried to reinstall the backup I just made, but still a no-go. Got stuck at the same spot.

Wound up just doing a clean install of 20i.

Did I do something wrong?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
Here's the change log when US998 got DTS, so I'm assuming it's the same for this VS996 20i which now has DTS framework:

change log:

- DTS: X 3D stereo effect function has been added.

- New Always On Display options

- Selfie camera portrait mode

- Improved accessibility.

- Improved keyboard performance

- Improved the delay of keyboard input when installing multiple market apps at once.

- Photo display error in some apps since Google's latest security patch has been improved.

- Improved to keep app aspect ratio settings after app updates.

- Improved the phenomenon that fine lines are displayed on some screens when power saving mode is executed.

- Google Security Update has enhanced your phone's security.

Most of the list is found here in the link below -- plus the AOD and selfie camera portrait feature are from public reports. The AOD I verified myself, but the selfie thing seems to be subtle.

Thanks.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
Dirty flash by flashing ROM and Magisk. Wipe caches before rebooting.

If you're more than two versions behind 20i l, do NOT flash the latest version immediately -- because of massive audio framework changes. Dirty flash 20G first, reboot, then go do 20i.

Power off the phone by holding VOL- and Power (about 5 seconds), release, then power on doing the same and hold both buttons. When the logo comes up, release the power button for 1 second (keep VOL- pressed) and hold it down again until you get a white screen with text, then release both. On that screen, press VOL- to scroll down and press power. The text on that screen talks about resetting, but all it does it boot recovery.

Thanks! I don't know if it is just me, but I lost Download Mode either when trying to boot the corrupt 20J ROM, or when trying to debloat 20I via Titanium Backup's uninstall features and getting stuck on the white Verizon animating screen....

I also no longer see the Bootloader Unlocked warning screen which made me think somehow my bootloader got locked again. Thus I started going down the Frankenstein road again only to find that my phone won't load Download mode any longer -- just skips right past it. Trying to access DL mode via ADB skips right past it too. Cannot even ADB reboot bootloader either....

Thankfully I still have TWRP and can install 20I and Magisk just fine so I clearly still have root. But somewhere along the way -- either when hard resetting because of the corrupted 20J or when hard resetting due to my attempt at debloating -- I lost Download Mode (and possibly the LAF partition)...

Thoughts anyone?

And in case John is wondering, the new 20J with time stamp 9:56PM also gets stuck at the LG screen for me...

Thanks,

I dirty flashed 20J over 20I, but the OS doesn't boot far enough to start the ADB software on the phone to connect to my computer.

Also, I noticed that every time I try to flash Magisk after the ROM flashes, it fails on repacking the boot image. I initially tried booting without reflashing Magisk, but it did the same thing. Usually I can't flash Magisk because it claims the kernel image was modified, so I have to get a successfully boot first, then go back to recovery and flash Magisk.

I was going to attempt to flash the KDZ as soon as it downloads... and I figure out how to flash it without losing unlocked bootloader/recovery.

Now, back to recovery to restore my backup again.
