Today's update for Magisk also ruined my phone setup. I had everything how I like it (pretty much) and I was going to go find a way to disable that automatic reduction of volume when connecting headphones as well as the notification about loud volumes and the notification about phone being charged. I opened Magisk and saw an update so I updated it and now Xposed stopped working. I couldn't get Xposed to work again after several attempts to run uninstallers and installers via multiple methods including flashing in TWRP and Magisk module flashing. Nothing works.. Currently backing things up to re-do my phone.

I wiped everything and flashed the latest ROM in this thread and the latest Magisk and now when I'm trying to do the initial setup, the phone randomly displays the (round, red/purple) LG logo and reboots. I've done a factory reset now with that white/black menu and flashed the ROM alone and successfully got through the full setup process and boot. Now I flashed Magisk and it's working fine again so far.

Is there any point in updating to a newer version if its giving many errors? I just rooted and am on 20B, not sure if I should update or not.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] sneak:
I guess it depends on if the changes are things you want.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
You should update you newer version FIRMWARE for DTS SURROUND SOUND and camera improvements, fixes.

But you do not have to update Magisk past 18.1.

Yes, I'm slowly downloading all of the .zips off of here https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/development/us998-lg-v30-us998-us99820a040330-kdz-t3786337 to flash them one at a time per the guide. Is staying at Magisk 18.1 more stable than going to 19.3?

Also, do I need magisk manager? I'm not sure how to go about installing magisk modules yet... I'm assuming I need a certain version of magisk manager if I remain at 18.1
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Emu:
I had no stability issues with 19.3 I'm on a V30+. As usual, TWRP backup, then flash 19.3 and see if it works. :good:
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] therock11:
Same here. I'm on a US998 with 19.3 and no issues.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] kenbo111:
I'm not convinced that Magisk was at fault in your situation. You did a lot of flashing and moding there. Any one or more of these could have messed things up.

---------- Post added at 08:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 AM ----------

It's been said many times from a fresh install you need to flash Magisk 18.x initially then update to 19.x or there will be problems.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] sneak:
It's also been said, but only one time, that I tried to update and the reason I had to do a fresh install was because the update messed itself up.

Also, it's an unrealistic expectation for someone to magically know every single post posted on a specific forum. If the information was not included in the notification of update then that's essentially not on the user for not knowing of every single post on a forum. Additionally, I had no issues after having to reformat my phone with flashing the latest version of Magisk.

Magisk 19.3

I was reading the changelog for Magisk 19.3 and it mentions something about a fix that is included in the latest version that waits for certain filesystems to be mounted properly. It says this should fix some phones boot looping when installing previous versions. I'm wondering if this is what we were experiencing with installing 19.x on a fresh install of 20h.

I'll wait for 20i and try installing 19.3 right after the install and see if they've fixed the issue.

Good luck to everyone!

I have 19.3 installed on 20h no issues. However installing from the get go who knows.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Who-Lep:
I would get a bootloops after startup flashing magisk 19.2/3 on 20h. When i flashed 18.1 it booted fine.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Dataman100:
Oh well. Looks like it's still not fixed. Got to keep the .zip for 18.1 around until they fix it.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Who-Lep:
Yeah, you can update to 19.3 but the initial install needs to be 18.1.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] JohnFawkes:
Topjohn is aware of the initial 18.1 flash. The canary build right now fixes this issue by mounting the Daemon and mounting /sbin later in boot then normal. The latest canary is 19.4-1058aeb0(19302)

Wheres the flashable pie zip?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
Hmmm.... you are asking the wrong question. :p

TWRP-flashable zip for US998 Pie would come after the US998 Pie KDZ is released. (We're not going to waste time on buggy betas.)

So, you should be asking, "Where is US998 Pie KDZ?"

Go right here and find it:

[US998][STOCK][PIE]LG V30 US998 US99830a_00_0704.KDZ

https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/development/us998-lg-v30-us998-us99830a000704-kdz-t3952256

Or where it will be, when released. I've already made a US998 Pie KDZ thread, ready and waiting. Just like I made one for the

EU H930 Pie KDZ (and TWRP-flashable zip)

which has already been released.

LG knows the answer to when US998 Pie KDZ will be released. I'm sure the dev of this thread will make a TWRP-flashable zip soon after... Links to the TWRP-flashable zips are in all the my KDZ threads.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] mrsubway:
I'm hoping it won't require stacking zips as I'm on the H931 AT&T right now. I WAS going to go back to US998, but I'm thinking I'll wait for Pie.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] christoophat:
ugh, wanted to dirty flash this again after having some strange things going on with Anxious mod. Wiped cache & Dalvik, flashed zip and Magisk 19.2, and bootloop city. Guess this isn't fixed yet, went back to 18.1

So to update Magisk after this, just go back to recovery, and flash 19.2 over 18.1?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] akanealw:
You can just do it in the Magisk app too.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] christoophat:
Thanks, Currently struggling with trying to get back into recovery mode again , as Magisk Manager shows Magisk is not installed (though I did flash the zip. Since phone is now "not rooted" I have to try the button dance, not working so far.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
Yeah, all the Oreo stock firmware TWRP flashable zips require Magisk 18.x, to my knowledge.

I did hear something was perhaps fixed with canary 19.4, but I prefer to stay with stable Magisk.

New Pie TWRP flashable zips can use 19.3.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] christoophat:

Another Q..if I decided to just do a wipe & clean flash (provided I can get back into recovery lol) can I just flash this zip and magisk, or do I need to go thru the alphabet & reinstall all the early ones in sequence again?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] HueyT:
If u use TWRP, then yes. If u KDZ, then u can jump straight to 20H, install TWRP, Magisk 18.1 and then update to 19.4 once rom setup done

[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ldeveraux:
I made a pretty small boo-boo recently. I updated the AOD packages through an alternate appstore which of course made it stop working. I tried reflashing this ROM but it didn't overwrite it. The only way I could get it to stop crashing was to uninstall the updates via TB and restart. I thought it was uninstalling the updates, but it actually uninstalled AOD completely. Like it's missing from the settings. I can search for it, but the option is missing from the "Display" tab. Long story short, how do I reinstall it? It was a system app so I didn't actually make a backup in TB (I'm not smart). If I flash this ROM over the top would that install it?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
Flash US998 20h Oreo full image KDZ in Refurbish mode.

Reinstall TWRP and the three root files using Section 6 of WTF Instructions.

Then if you want DTS 3D Stereo, etc, re-flash this TWRP flashable zip over all that.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ldeveraux:
Will this wipe? Not really looking to do that now, not until I upgrade to Pie in the near future. If it won't wipe, is Refurbished Mode explained in the WTF? I don't remember it from when I originally unlocked.

I wonder if flashing this ROM again now that I've uninstalled AOD, will write it back?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
The Oreo TWRP flashable zips don't include all system files. You can try to reflash the TWRP flashable zip and see.

Yes, re-flashing the full image KDZ will wipe your data.

There's nothing about Pie worth upgrading to at this point in time.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ldeveraux:
Good news, it worked, this ROM had AOD system files. Crisis averted!
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] JohnFawkes:
They actually do include ALL system files. The only things they dont include are some uneeded/ dangerous partitions. At least the partitions SALT says is dangerous

Looking for help to get root back after having to do a clean wipe due to "android is starting loop" and dirty flashing earlier. Wiped System Dalvik & cache, flashed 20H zip, then Magisk 18.1. Noticed an error message after Magisk install, booted back into Recovery & redid it, no errors that time.

Magisk Manager won't even open stuck on start up screen. Have I broken something? Had all this on the phone since it was released ran smooth as silk.

update: was able to uninstall 18.1, flash 20.4, and all is good again in the Kingdom.

Nice! So these us998 zips do work on vs996. Ill update the OP. Glad everyone is enjoying this. Stick around. Me and [MENTION=3138121]seadersn[/MENTION] have plans for more stuff coming soon. Just firmware zips so people can just update firmware instead of everything, modems, stock boot.imgs, and modified init files that tune the SoC! I've also got some other projects that I'm working on such as converting [MENTION=9023361]Whiskeyomega[/MENTION] audio mods into a Magisk module that will use xml starlet to patch the mixer xml instead of replacing. I did a diff of every regions v30,mixer_paths xml and there are 4 different mixers. The us998, H930, h933, vs996 all have different stuff in the mixer_paths xml. I don't know why this is. But patching the edits in is definitely better than replacing the complete mixer_paths since they are all different

Thank you. Thank you, Thank you. ive been there and done that myself with the exception of the android projects...

i tried to figure out a while back after 20e dropped on how to convert this to a flashable zip but never could figure out all the images and what the right filenames are.

Thank You. i know its possible but could you print out what image its flashing so you dont think the flash has frozen.

Thank you again for making this.

maybe makes sense then to include the vs996 zips in this us998 thread? so no need for writing to a mod, to give you the vs996 thread's control: instead just closing the vs996 thread and add the link here is sufficient :good:

btw, i'm including the OP partitions in the zips from now on. turned out that they are critical for working data and other stuff too. there's a special point to take care of when doing these OP images, let's write about that on the other place :D

[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] akanealw:
Thanks for your work John, i really appreciate it!

If it's not too much trouble, can we get an md5 hash for these zips as you make them? Would be nice to make sure my 2.5 gb download isn't corrupted before I try to flash it.

Also, downloading a direct link from Google Drive on a phone is a bit of a pain as it just pops up a download window that you can't put in the background. Linking a folder as you accumulate builds would be better for us mobile downloaders.

From Oreo

For clean install: Factory reset and wipe system

in twrp select wipe... swipe ... back......advanced wipe....select system only?

or

in twrp select advanced wipe and check these boxes.... dalvik , system , data , internal storage , cache then swipe

20E is on my micro sd card so i can select that in mount then install and swipe to install 20E
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
The second one. Remember, not only do you need US998 20E zip on microSD card, also make sure Magisk is there. You will be totally wiping everything internally on the phone -- except for TWRP and your microSD card.

Let's keep the various model threads separate, if you don't mind. People may want to discuss something specific to one or the other.

For instance a couple of pages back, I

posted a link to a mod that is only guaranteed to work on US998

. It's better this not become a general thread, please.

We've known the US998 and VS996 are very compatible, as VS996 can skip the Nougat step in Frankenstein -- but I don't like to state that because then everyone wants to try. ;) Still, best to keep separate threads for separate firmware. VS996 firmware is for Verizon users, while US998 is more universal.

IF it's too much of an XDA administrative pain to give the current VS996 thread control to [MENTION=6815443]JohnFawkes[/MENTION], a simpler answer is to

* let him create his own thread -- with your 20F zip file (links straight to your Android Host Files and you credited) and any of his own then also listed.

* THEN, after his thread is established, you delete everything in post #1 of your thread except for HUGE SIZE 5 LINK TO HIS THREAD.

* Then, ask mods to close your thread. ;)

Anyone who tries to go there will only see the HUGE SIZE 5 link to the current, proper thread.

See post #1 of WTF thread for what I'm talking about for the HUGE SIZE 5 LINK.

Also visual voicemail now fully works and is provisioned. Also lte data is much more consistent and faster.

[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
Yes, it will.

You now have a US998 and this zip just updates it to US998 20E (or whatever the current one will be when someone else reads this in the future).

You could do the same thing -- but more difficult -- by flashing 20E KDZ via dev patched LGUP and UNchecking recovery partitions. Then you would have to boot to TWRP custom recovery via fastboot or hardware button dance, and then reflash all the no encryption, no root check and Magisk files...

This way ( with TWRP zip), you just dirty flash the update via TWRP and immediately reflash Magisk, then reboot. You can even "stack" the the flashes in TWRP so they do them back to back.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] mrsubway:
It also basically ends the need to use LGUP if, for some reason, you wanted to completely clean the phone. You could just wipe data, system and caches in TWRP, and flash this. Boom. Out of the box phone.

For US998, Pie will probably be released 2nd quarter (April - June) 2019.

Korean carrier variants probably sometime in first quarter.

As for the next US998 Oreo update (20F), it could come even in December. On Oreo, LG promises updates at least every 90 days. For the US998 since 20A, they have been doing it every month or two. But for other variants like H933 or H930DS, they have gone as long as three months between updates. Last US998 update was September. So, they really don't have to release another one until almost Christmas. I'm not saying they will do that, I hope not -- but they could.
