As cmrntnnr said, there are ways to reactivate things even on US998. That might be the best thing you can do to regain functionality. After all, it's just software... :)

Again, what are you looking to enable, just video calling? I don't know if it's turned on on my/my-wife's phone, as I never used it (we use Hangouts)... but I can try. Or is it some other feature you're trying to enable?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
We use Hangouts, Skype and WhatsApp video calling/video chat -- whatever you want to call it. Facebook Messenger has it also.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Ballroomblitz:
Like I said, I got it in my head that I needed to have access to Verizon video calling cuz I pay them every month. [emoji39]

I already have advanced calling features... At least HD calling. Don't know if I have volte. I'll continue to use available video calling apps for that feature.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
But you're only allowed to call other Verizon customers, right? What if you have friends/relatives who aren't on Verizon? That's or like Apple's stupid FaceTime. :) I prefer a platform-agnostic or carrier-agnostic video calling feature.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] schwinn8:
I just checked my phone - the Advanced Calling screen tells me I have "HD Voice Only" and the option to allow "HD Voice and Video Calling" is disabled. Granted, I'm on Total Wireless, so I can't blame them for blocking that... but it also implies that it could be turned on. You could call VZ (I cannot, of course) to see if they'll enable it... but from a few quick searches here, I see that VZ often sees the phone as a US998 an then can't figure out how to enable video calling (incompetent as they are).

Like Chazz and I said, move to Hangout or any other option... and drop the extra charges from VZ (if you're paying for it). Or, better yet, drop VZ altogether and get TW like I did... so much lower cost, and the same network! :) I had VZ for MANY years, and was afraid to jump off... I'm so glad I did, though. Saving about $70/month for our two lines, and I have double the data over VZ too.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] cmrntnnr:
Ditto that! Straight talk is another good alternative to lower the monthly bill while getting good service.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Ballroomblitz:
True that! I'm really done worrying about that feature. I would like to look into volte at some point. I'm really just happy to have full control over my phone.

Apologies for hijacking this thread, but for former Motorola Droid Turbo owners who held onto their beloved phones for a long, long time (I had three of the sibling International Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo), interesting discussion going on over here in the Droid Turbo forum -- debating what is a good upgrade to the Droid Turbo.

What have you replaced your beloved Droid Turbo with

Personally, I think the LG V30 series (whether V30/V30+/V30S) is in spirit the true upgrade to 1440p QHD Moto Quark, with Qi wireless charging, headset jack, great battery life -- in addition to high IP rating, fast fingerprint sensor, microSD card (which the Droid Turbo 2 had), and no stupid Apple notch. I know several former Droid Turbo owners agree, by the fact you are HERE. :D

LG V30 has everything the 2014 Droid Turbo had PLUS more. ;) (well, except IR blaster -- but no phone has that build in nowadays). Point is LG V30 (maybe LG V35, but no root on that) is the closest you are going to get an "updated" Droid Turbo. It's EXACTLY the phone that Motorola should have released...

However, there are a few misguided souls who are touting the OnePlus 6T -- which of course only has no 1440p (only 1080p), no headset jack, no Qi wireless charging, as well as no microSD card slot. 2018 OnePlus 6T is a downgrade in so many ways to 2014 Droid Turbo. If your company motto is "Never Settle", then OnePlus is clearly telling you NOT to buy their phone. :cool:

If you owned a Droid Turbo and now have an LG V30 and wish to join the discussion, feel free. For those who still own and use the 2014 Droid Turbo, time is running out... Not only old CPU and 2GB RAM, but also most are running custom ROMs which do NOT have Verizon VoLTE. By end of 2019, Verizon is dropping CDMA, so it's urgent people start their upgrade now. With Christmas and New Years coming, that's when a lot of people will treat themselves to another phone. You will be helping people make a good decision.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jaedenhudson14:
So I am sure this is more than likely because I dirty flashed from 20d to 20f, but I ran into some minor issues at first. The first issue was the option to change the theme did not exist anymore. I went ahead and did a factory reset, and was unable to go through the setup process without the phone soft rebooting and starting over.every time I tried to hit next. So I restored from my backup then ran into the issue of my knock code not working so I had to go back into recovery and delete the lockscreen stuff. I will probably clean flash it once I get more time, but figured I could dirty flash as I was able to go to 20d with no issues.

do we need / want a zip...?

you could use the system image provided in this zip, mount it rw (in fwul booted from usb stick, search on xda for it), edit it to your likings, unmount and flash it directly, with fastboot or twrp image flashing.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
Got your PM -- thank you! I had checked last night and didn't see it on LG-Firmwares.com. They must have posted it today. I've now posted your KDZ link in my

Yes, we do need a TWRP flashable zip, please. You can stack it in post #1 of this thread, like I do with the KDZ thread.

Tried to flash 20g zip via TWRP, upon reboot after Magisk install, phone was stuck on black 'V30ThinQ' screen. TWRP was still available so tried reflashing and clearing all caches to no avail.

Anyone try dirty flashing 20g over 20f and see if all is right? If no one has, I'll try and report back if it looks good on my end or not. I'll be doing a Titanium Backup and a whole TWRP-IntSD backup first. The TiBu is if I end up doing a clean install of 20g if there is a problem with dirty flashing over 20f.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] canestfr:
I dirty flashed 20g over 20f and it worked fine for me. Dirty flashed, booted system, rebooted recovery with ADB, flashed Magisk, booted system.

[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] MortimerR:
Hi all, I'm coming from a Samsung S5 on an AOSP ROM. Got a new VS996 that I just frankensteined am about to root, etc. Trying to find a good ROM to use. I want to keep things stock so this updated VZW ROM looks great.

But are there any options that maintain stock stability but allow debloating/loading a different GAPPS? Thanks!
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] gimpy1:
I have come from a Verizon vs996, converted it to the us998 (twrp version) and am currently running that one. It is a debloated rom. Does not have any of the Verizon stuff in it. Unless there is something specific in the vs996 that you need, this one is very nice.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
Stock firmware doesn't use GAPPs. Do not try to flash GAPPs.

Titanium Backup will debloat what you need.

I was US995 and flashed this buy mistake. How can I fix this please?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
I assume you mean US998?

Restore the TWRP backup you made, then flash the latest one for US998. Then flash Magisk.

Or put US998 zip file on microSD card, factory reset in TWRP and then flash the US998 zip file. Then flash Magisk.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] cmrntnnr:
I assume like [MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION] you meant US998 rather than US995. If you want to use your US998 backup to avoid setting up the phone again then:

1) From within TWRP, wipe system and data

2) Flash a US998 zip from that forum first, here's the link:

https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/development/us998-lg-v30-us998-us99820a040330-kdz-t3786337

3) From within TWRP, reboot into TWRP

4) Now flash your backup

The reason for this order is that TWRP will not be able to see your backup. The phone model is prepended to the backup folder name as a safety measure,

Thank you both the issue has been resolved.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] mac62:
I installed this on a US998, bootloader unlocked, running TWRP 3.2.3-7. Method was Factory Reset, Format Data, Wipe System, install VS998 zip, flash Magisk 18.0 zip. Rom booted fine, everything worked except for the fact that Magisk was not installed. I enabled USB Debugging and used adb to attempt to reboot to recovery. Rom rebooted to system. I then used adb to try and reboot to bootloader. Rom rebooted to system. Powered off the phone and attempted to boot to bootloader by holding the volume up and plugging in the USB. Rom rebooted to system. Last step was to boot to safe mode menu and factory reset. Phone immediately booted to TWRP. Out of shear paranoia I wiped and flashed back to US99820e and all is back to normal.

Really want to use the Verizon rom to get visual voicemail and wifi calling. Does anybody know what might have gone wrong? I've read through this thread, but not the rest of the threads for other VS996 TWRP flasable roms. Thanks!
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] nnjimmy59:
When I first flashed VS996, I dirty flashed it over US998, due to stupidity. But, it has worked fine since. I have since then dirty flashed VS99620g with no problems.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] mac62:
Thanks for the reply; I didn't dirty flash though. Any chances that this can re-lock the bootloader?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] nnjimmy59:
It didn't relock mine. Just had to reflash Magisk for root.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] mac62:
Alright, thanks. I might try to flash again.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] cmrntnnr:
I have flashed successfully between US998 and VS996 a couple times without incident using zips and TWRP. It will not relock the boot loader. The issues you describe are unusual and hard to reconcile. I think you'll be fine reflashing to VS996. Before you do, double check that you can button dance into recovery and verify the md5 of the zip. Also, you should consider flashing the current magisk uninstaller first and then doing the magisk install. Version 18 is working great here.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] mac62:
Thanks for the reccomendatios. I've never used the Magisk Uninstaller. Should I flash it before I wipe and flash the VS rom?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] cmrntnnr:
What I do is

- wipe system and data partitions

- flash new rom

- flash magisk uninstaller

- then flash magisk

- reboot, and be patient
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] mac62:
Excellent, thanks. I'll give this a shot tomorrow.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] mac62:
Worked a treat. Up and running with no problems. I use encryption and I think my initial problem was a result of that. This time I:

Rebooted to Recovery

Deleted System

Flashed zip, Magisk Uninstaller, Magisk Installer

Anyone notice how the photo file name format is different for VS996 than US998? I'm anal about file name formats. I will run a batch file rename tool to make photos from old phones match my current one before uploading to my phone (never going to use the cloud). The US998 one makes sense as YYYYMMDD_hhmmss. This Verizon one is stupid since it's MMDD###### where I have no idea the convention of the last 6 digits and really dumb not including the year. For me, the first two digits are always "19" despite the time of day taken. Anyone know of any possible setting file to edit to change it back? Else, would I need to overwrite the VS996 camera app with the US998 one? That would probably break SafetyNet by changing a System app though :(

Security update 9

Running this rom on my US998 V30+ on Verizon and apparently LG is sending Security Update 9. At first I thought it was an upgrade to Androind 9.0, but it is only 250.3MB.

The upgrade fails (due to being rooted,) with error code 410.

Anybody got a quick link to what updater .apk's need to be frozen to prevent this?

And where the update download gets saved?

The kdz will probably be posted to https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-vs996-firmwares/#tab=firmwares in due time. Kdz's/full roms are generally better than OTA's. You could compare it to clean and dirty flashing, if that makes sense.

if you or anyone sees the kdz around let me know and ill make the zip
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:

Crazy, I now see that the February update is supposedly available (version i): https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/lg-v30-update/

Of course, we still don't have the H version on KDZ.

Has anyone tried downloading with the "software upgrade assistant tool" and then hacking away at the OTA?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
It is crazy. I don't know why these have not been publicly released yet?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] TotallyAnxious:
The ota can be flashed as an .up file. You'll loose root and be encrypted again if you boot again. So you'll have to reflash the 3 files to root, kill root detector, and kill encryption. Then could take a twrp backup and turn that into a rom zip. Granted it wouldn't be a tru 20h because of the lack of firmware, it would be rom only.
