ONLY USE MAGISK 18.X ON OREO TWRP-FLASHABLE ZIPS!

If you are installing VS996 firmware for the first time after bootloader unlock/root, you should flash 20g zip (below), 20i zip, 20j zip, and 20k back-to-back in TWRP, then flash Magisk. If you go straight to 20k via TWRP-flashable zip, you will most likely have problems. There were massive changes starting with 20i and you need 20g (pre-DTS) as foundation before going on to 20i, 20j, 20k.

Here's also the

thread for the TWRP-flashable zip

. Please go there and thank @JohnFawkes for his hard work!

Flash the "ROM" with latest TWRP. Reflash Magisk immediately afterwards before rebooting to system. It's just stock KDZ but in TWRP-flashable version. Not debloated nor meant to be updated in the future. It's just a very convenient mechanism to have newer stock firmware instead of using dev patched LGUP to flash partitions, etc.

Here's how to flash KDZ:

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

DOWNGRADING ANY LG V30/V30+/V30S TO EARLIER KDZ FIRMWARE INCLUDING NOUGAT

1) Go into download mode (power off completely, then hold volume up button while plugging in USB cable)

2) open patched LGUP and flash earlier KDZ to DL PARTITION. In the pop up box "Select All". Use the attached patched LGUP in this post.

3) Master Reset (

post 101 of Frankenstein thread

)

(For bootloader unlock purposes, you have to temporarily convert VS996 to US998 Oreo KDZ versions with pre-July 2018 security patch: 20a or 20b. Best to even first downgrade to US998 Nougat, then go back up to US998 Oreo. See

WTF thread instructions

. You can always update to newer VS996 firmware later, AFTER bootloader is unlocked and TWRP is installed.)

4) DONE.

Here's how to install LGUP:

It's fairly easy. Most people breeze right through this. But if you have any problems, go through this list:

Make sure you are in download mode BEFORE opening the patched LGUP file.

This is at the top of the list as some people forget to do that. The remainder are in no particular order. If that doesn't work,

Try different USB port,

Try different USB cable,

Try different computer.

Reinstall LG mobile drivers.

Reinstall dev patched LGUP again, making sure the files are placed where they need to go (LG Electronics folder, etc).

Reboot the computer.

If you ask for help, that's the list of items we are going to give you anyway. ;)
