from where is this op_t.img from...?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] seadersn:
is it from a dump or extracted out of a kdz? if kdz: you won't be able to flash it, even not if renamed from .image to .img. it's not correctly extracted if it's named this way. let me guess: size is significantly bigger than ~400-500mb?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] christopherrrg:
Extracted.

48mb in size but maybe it's back to my PC.

Tried to pull with SALT again and got 1.8gb OP.image

I may have messed up. Is IMAGE files the result of an error? Possibly why I got op_t.image.

Was using SALT to extract kdz as I thought with the new oreo compression kdz format that it was the only program to extract plus it includes runningnak3ds kdz extractor.

Re read what you posted and okay so I'm gonna have to fully flash this kdz then do all that H933 magic to get twrp back then maybe I can just dd it.

Sorry for the OT and thanks guys.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] seadersn:
you should be able to extract it with the -s option, when using the unkdz / undz scripts directly. this way it will extract and be named correctly: OP.image, not OP_*.image.

Be careful

Okay so I put my phone back to 100% stock so I could pull the 20i files and it seems i've installed a security patch that lets me go back to US998 (to install TWRP) however I keep getting "C:\Users\Chris>fastboot flash recovery C:\Users\Chris\Desktop\H933\FRESH\twrp.img

sending 'recovery' (30324 KB)...

FAILED (remote: Requested download size is more than max allowed

)

" errors so i'm not sure what has happened but no matter what US998 firm I go back too (Nougat or Orero) I cannot get past this error installing twrp. ( I have tried multiple PCs and 3 different adb/fastboot installations and all the guides we have all put together.)

Am I toast? I don't mind running stock but did I just ban myself from the custom world? :(

"wtf version", nice naming xD thinking about naming a new version for wtf exactly like that hrhr
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
Yeah, here's at least two H932 people who had to use the WTF TWRP:

Newest 3.3 TWRP doesn't seem to work on the two files (no encryption, no root checker) flashed during the initial root process...

Although you can probably upgrade to newer TWRP afterwards.

But yeah "WTF version" is a good name. ;)
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] christopherrrg:
so no matter what combination of frankenstein I do it just won't work.

I believe 20i might be the problem; since i've refurbished as 20i h933 kdz I have not been able to use the command 'fastboot flash unlock' on ANY US998 software after frankenstein.

I've even gone as far as using the H933 1st Nougat kdz ever and used all LGUP options (PARTITION D/L; REFURBISH; UPGRADE) to start fresh base.

first I attempted h93310h refurbish to get back to normal; then upgraded to H93320g. Chose to do a master reset and make sure my data was working etc..

on H93320g I then used PARTITION D/L to go to US99810C which obviously gave the android bootloop so again master reset; I then used usb debugging and LGUP saw my device as US99810C so then I UPGRADE to US99820B and once it finished; for good measure I did another master reset.

LGUP said us998; settings said us998; kernel firm etc...

ran adb devices; seen device.

adb reboot bootloader; okay it worked.

fastboot devices (to check if fb is recognized; sure is[LG ID])

fastboot flash unlock then I choose the directory as my adb and fb are systemwide and as soon as I hit enter it shoots me to that screen.

I followed the guide perfectly and got myself back onto US99820b using UPGRADE from US99810C.

ADB works; Fastboot semi works. (reboot; getvar; oem id) but literally as soon as I flash that unlock.bin I can hear my phone disconnect and when I look at it; it is that grey screen I mentioned in PM.

Yeah I tried to run minimal adb and fastboot installation but I believe I have the sdk to try; if that does the same thing I may attempt my laptop.

sucks because I built this PC hoping it would be great for working on phones; this dang fastboot and LG issue is absolute nonsense.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] christopherrrg:
tried all 4 known versions of adb on my PC while reinstalling drivers etc; pull out my girlfriends old laptop I had used to originally do BL unlock months ago.

Just wanted to come back and give you the answer.

I didn't know before so I never said it but it seems to be tied to the h933 recovery. (Flashes on LGUP when I select only recovery)

So I tried to install via twrp the latest Canadian 20i to my us998 on oreo 20h and it went through ok but when I tried to flash magisk 19.3 it failed. Should I have uninstalled it first in twrp? I figured after data was wiped it wouldnt be there anymore. I rebooted system anyways now in bootloop. Not sure what I did wrong I followed install instructions on page 1
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] mistaliu:
I know people had problems flashing and booting with magisk 19, at least on us998. Try using 18.1 instead then upgrade once booted and running.

Still read post #1. Normally, users can't just flash the H933 TWRP flashable zips like the others.

There's other stuff users usually have to do first, to make it work. You can try, but if it doesn't then read the notes in post #1.

I believe your or someone posted here that I was to flash with latest magisk. Update: (Post 1 links to latest magisk) I did use uninstaller and to try to install magisk 18 while still in twrp but didnt work, obviously :p I can boot to twrp now, yaaaaaaa!

Hi [MENTION=4259007]christopherrrg[/MENTION], Im thinking of flashing h93320i, properly this time around :p, as laid out in post #2. Is it worth it? Im with Freedom and would be nice to have volte, vowifi and 1700aws.

Thanks
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] christopherrrg:
Hey sorry I deleted XDA from my phone because after hearing about pie I became addicted to opening it like Facebook and decided I needed a break.

I couldn't tell you as I'm using ChatR but I know we got a few other freedom users. Unsure if our bands are the same or not. If they are I'd imagine it'd be good.

From all of my views, you're best off staying on a converted US998 firm as for some reason it's ten times better and more battery efficient then 20i h993 rooted (and 20g)

I'm currently using the stock kdz of 20i that I rooted myself and I've left it for months. ??*

Was gonna convert back to US998 and then use custom ROMs for the DTS just never got around to it.

I don't really do any tinkering with my phone anymore. Figured we'd get pie and I'd root it one last time then give it to the gf, I'm gonna miss this device but it's too big for my tiny hands and I like bleeding edge Android since Nexus days. LG had promised that years ago and I fell for it starting with the G6. No complaints with the hardware; just feel like LG pulled a Nintendo on us. Beautiful new hardware, same garbage software. :(

Sorry for the random OT just figured I'd give you a heads up as far as my own research brought me. You may have better luck finding some of the other H933 guys.

Edit - re read your post and it would seem the US998 bands aren't best for you and it would be best to convert. I wouldn't follow post 2 as it is outdated. I'll link the proper post to follow.

Give the first post a read and then read my post included. Good luck and let me know how it goes. :)
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] cbr69er:
No worries my man, I get it. :)

If we could just somehow cross flash modems and get working volte. Life would be much easier. Sucks to hear about the crappy battery life on 20i, I had hopes it improved from what I read about 20h.

Like you, I might just wait for h933 pie and hope for better battery life while having to only do the flash over from us998 once.

With the link to the new guide you sent. Would the old guide here cause me problems? (Noob questions alert) What is the point of doing the dump in the newer h933 flashing guide as opposed to the one here?

Also, I went into lg up partition dl mode, just to see the environment, I noticed there was a partition called 'recovery bak' just below 'recovery' do I leave that unchecked as well? Im assuming not.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] christopherrrg:
The old guide will cause problems as it creates the worse battery life I've ever experienced but following the new directions you'll have absolutely zero battery issues. (Feel free to attempt both methods yourself and you'll be able to experiment. However it's quite a tedious project just for that so I gave up changing around versions.)

Recovery.bak is a backup of the stock recovery. You CAN leave that unchecked.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] cbr69er:
Yah, dont think Im gonna "experiment" this time round and just follow the new guide lol. Good to hear about the battery life, one less thing to worry about. So, I read your post in the new guide that I shouldnt flash the modem.bin after its dumped, as kdz file already has it, right? Did you ever figure out if carrier.bin is necessary?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] christopherrrg:
Yes, if modem.bin for some reason doesn't match RSA then you'll get tossed into a weird soft loop (if you're going from 1 kdz to another ie. N to O) so I had figured it's best removed from the guide as the new one gets flashed anyways.

I actually didn't get any answers from anybody regarding that carrier.bin but I flashed it anyways. Might not hurt in regards to optimization with our carriers.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] cbr69er:
Ok, thanks for the help and advice its much appreciated. Will report back after flashing or any issues therein.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] christopherrrg:
Sounds good hit me up any time, I'll help any way I can.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] cbr69er:
Thanks will do so now lol. Where you mention in your post on page 5 (see below) of the guide install magisk manager to get su working before using adb shell is that for step 6 after flashing the 9 bin files?

Also, I copied and pasted the guide to a word doc and Im adding your changes. If you want a copy pm me your email and I will send it to you and you can add anymore changes if you want.

"Edit - swap modem.bin for carrier.bin and see what happens. I'm currently using my phone perfectly. 20i kdz rooted with TWRP. ((That's why I wanna hear what's up with other carriers)) also for your magisk instructions on final H933 you should put the open magisk manager and reboot before using adb shell. Or else Su won't work because you're not rooted first."
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] christopherrrg:
I used dd to flash it over which is a function from adb.

I'm not sure dd will work without root so that's why I had mentioned in the guide to fix. (That was for the original OP)
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] cbr69er:
Sorry, you flashed just carrier.bin with dd? I would access dd in command? Also, to be clear in step 6, before I open an adb shell in command (after I flashed magisk) I should boot into phone and open magisk and install the magisk manager when prompted and then reboot to ensure root?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] christopherrrg:
Yeah I flashed all of it with DD. The step in command prompt after adb. (You also don't need to use ADB if you just put the .bin paths on there manually).

But yeah exactly! I always download root checker as a quick confirmation but I'm sure you can use anything.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] cbr69er:
Ok, thanks just want to be clear so I can make up my word doc for this.

Ok, yah was a little cofused on this part of step 6. So I have to flash the 9 bin files using command prompt after I placed them on my sd card?

Also, it says "If you copied the 9 .bin files then Advanced -> File Manager" ? Is OP just suggesting to check and confirm in twrp if they are actually on the sd card here? Can the bin files be flashed in twrp?

Please see my note in caps in the command lines below.

In Command Prompt ->

Code:

adb shell

dd if=/sdcard/OP.bin of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/OP

dd if=/sdcard/modem.bin of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modem (REPLACE 'MODEM.BIN & MODEM' ABOVE WITH 'CARRIER.BIN & CARRIER?)

dd if=/sdcard/modemst1.bin of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst1

dd if=/sdcard/modemst2.bin of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst2

dd if=/sdcard/misc.bin of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc

dd if=/sdcard/persist.bin of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist

dd if=/sdcard/ftm.bin of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/ftm

dd if=/sdcard/pstore.bin of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/pstore

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.bin of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery

Unplug phone

Reboot -> Power Off

Power On
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] christopherrrg:
Yup I believe OP is suggesting you check the paths.

Unsure if you can use TWRP for it, never needed to try. Felt ADB was easiest as I was rooted and didn't want to reboot and lose it or get into a soft loop

If=/sdcard/ is the path of where it'll be.

From what you have typed out that is correct. I left out modem.bin and used carrier.bin.

Modem will get flashed after the last kdz change anyways which is why I had mentioned to remove it because if you're coming from N (and sometimes O) then you'll get RSA issues where they don't match.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] cbr69er:
Sorry for late reply on this, life is crazy so I havent tried to flash until now. Now the problem is Lg up, its telling me I cant cross flash from us99820h to h93320i. Is there something I need to do in lg up to get it to flash? Do I need to downgrade to nougat us998 firmware?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] christopherrrg:
You will need to use partition DL and then select all needed partitions and allow it to re alter them to our H933. (Partition layout is a little different then the other devices)

If THAT is telling you that you can't cross flash then I'm unsure currently as I'm going to be honest.

It's been so long since I've done it but you bet as soon as pie gets dropped IF we ever get it.... Then I'll go through the steps again and get us a solid complete guide. (Will prefer to use kdz at first over TWRP flashable as I'm sure there's other device specific changes) but yeah basically I've been in limbo for months and haven't done anything besides change substratum themes. :(

Hello everyone,im new to the XZ2 community. Recieved my black H8216 just yesterday and i am loving it. I quickly browsed through the posts and only found one post with regards font,but that required rooting of the device. I would like to know if anyone has maybe looked into finding a way to change the font style without root? Is there any way at all,or am i hoping for something thats impossible?

Also,is there any way to remove unwanted system apps such as AVG etc without root?

Sorry [MENTION=6031898]MartinX3[/MENTION],but how do you mean look at the bloat script?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] MartinX3:
In the XZ2 Rom Section. :)

It needs ADB to remove as most bloat apps as possible, without the need of root.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] Trace.Oneil:
Ahh,okay. Thank you,i will go and take a look at that. Didnt notice it because i was pre-occupied with trying to find some way of changing the font. [MENTION=6031898]MartinX3[/MENTION],you seem to be a clever guy and rather active on the threads. Ive seen your name pop up on numerous posts now. Maybe you can help a girl out.

I am not too informed with writing scripts in ADB and so on,but with regards to the changing of the font. Is there not perhaps a way to take an app like Ifont and somehow add it as a system app with the required permissions to allow changing of the font style without rooting?

I very confused about the launch settings options in my Mate 10 Pro under settings -> battery.

The Launch settings is way to aggressive and makes my phone skip notifications and important stuff is not happening.

After you set your launch control to manual, you have to "exempt from battery optimization" (no idea where in the settings is buried, I just type "exempt" into the search bar in the settings menu)
