[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Vast majority prefer carrier unlocked phones, not necessary bootloader unlocked and rooted. With the scary bootloader unlock warning about "possible corruption" just best to re- lock bootloader before selling it.

Flash to US998 20H, then relock bootloader.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Dinou Sellami:
but users will not get OTA updates when they convert the h931 to US998 they will report the seller
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
And that is exactly correct. It won't get updates as a 998 nor as a used-to-be 931. While yes, of course, some people will understand that and know how to apply an update, **THE VAST MAJORITY** of buyers WILL NOT.

Given that limitation, be sure you state that specifically when selling it. As Dinou says, ebay will be on yer butt otherwise.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
No they won't report the seller.

None of the LS998 to US998 sold on eBay all the time get OTA updates.

All the US998 V30+ being sold by dealers are former LS998.

No one is reported. The dealer has 99.9 approval rating.

That's the only way to carrier unlock an LS998. I bought one US998 new in box from Wal-Mart, and it's former LS998 converted to US998.

Same with H931.

And it's the only way you're going to be able to sell it. I mean, you can convert to VS996 or H933, but same thing. US998 is the best choice.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] jptV30:
If you want to sell it on eBay you have to explain that the phone is really a H931 running US998 firmware. If not, the buyer can just return the phone for a full refund after he finds out the phone isn't a US998 which will be easy since H931 has a AT&T logo.

You'd have to pay for the return shipping, eat the original shipping cost, and still have to pay eBay fees...
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
That doesn't happen with the other Frankenstein converted eBay US998.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-V30-US9...rentrq:0d41f53c16c0a99b185ac3adfff8628c|iid:1

All these V30+ are former LS998 V30+, now converted to US998.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] jptV30:
Like I've said... if the buyer finds out that the phone is not a real US998 and wants to return it then the seller has to cover return shipping and issue a full refund.

If not, the buyer can file a dispute stating item not as described and the seller will be forced to take it back...
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] br0adband:
The simplest answer to all this is of course simple: be honest in the ad, list every piece of relevant information and that way if there's any kind of claim for any reason other than "It's dead on arrival, Jim..." protects you (or whoever) as the seller.

It can't be stressed enough really to put ALL the relevant info in the ad, be 100% honest about everything:

- be honest that's its originally an AT&T H931

- be honest that the bootloader was unlocked and that message will appear each time the device is powered on from a cold start

- be honest that it has a clean IMEI with no leins/not reported stolen/not reported lost (but don't provide the IMEI directly, that can be provided in a PM if necessary using eBay's message system if a potential buyer wants it)

- be honest that it was converted to becoming a US Cellular US998 in every respect except for it being a true US998 hardware-wise

- be honest that it will not get OTA updates for future releases of Android (if they'd come out) and might not get security fixes or patches either because of that conversion

- be honest and say the condition and mention every single scratch or scuff or mark on it, take plenty of decent pics, show the Settings page, etc

- be honest about what's included

- be honest and just flat out say "If you decide to make this purchase, you do so understanding everything that's been stated in this ad and accept this prior to the purchase, after which there will be no refunds except for the item being literally DOA and non-functional" or words to that effect and clearly state "SOLD AS-IS" in the ad listing at least once and not buried someplace a the very bottom or whatever

If you don't do anything that can be perceived as being deceptive then eBay (and whatever payment processing service you use) will more than likely side with you, the seller, should an issue arise - if it's truly DOA for whatever reason you're going to have to issue a refund regardless, but I don't think that most people would damage or break something intentionally just to get that refund. This basic idea of being honest about it to as many degrees as you possibly can ensures that you'll only be selling to someone that really understands what it is and if they don't, your listing told them ahead of time so that responsibility is now not on you for them being ignorant.

You can't really do much more than this, so either get to it and sell it on eBay with these kinds of guidelines or keep it and maybe sell it locally, either way, good luck.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Who-Lep:
Flashing the stock h931 rom will get you close but the BL will still be unlocked(but there is no message on bootup). It has the stock att boot animation.

Notes:

It wipes your internal storage when flashing.

OTA will no longer work.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] jptV30:
H931, H933, VS996, and US998 all have the exact same hardware...
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] br0adband:
The AT&T H931 does not have a CDMA radio in it, neither does the H933 (the Rogers Wireless aka Canadian version) so no, they're not the same as the actual US998 hardware which does have both CDMA and GSM radios in it. As my sig clearly states, I have an H931 converted to a US998 and I can't use it with Sprint or Verizon since it doesn't have a CDMA radio in it so, no, they're not all the exact same hardware.

The VS996 is designed to work with Verizon which is a CDMA carrier so that one does have a CDMA radio in it but it offers slightly different LTE band coverage (some of the other bands for AT&T and T-Mobile are covered as roaming bands).

Each model has something different from the others based on what the carriers tell LG to do with them at the factory, which is why I said what I said.

The T-Mobile LG V30 H932 is the only one that has hardware support for LTE band 71 too so, again, something different for every model.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
You can't go wrong with being honest -- except you may not get the sale on eBay, where dozens other V30s are listed as New or Mint, even though we all know they're Frankenphones. Those sellers are probably willing to absorb a few returns because they bought them by the truckload for $30 each.

Why not just just flash US998 KDZ and relock the bootloader, then see if OnePlus will accept the trade-in? That's what you wanted originally, right?

They're looking for a sale, so they're motivated. And if they DON'T accept the trade-in, then you can worry about selling it on eBay.

That's really what I assumed would be your takeaway from my original reply (post #2).
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Like I've said, former LS998 are sold every day on eBay as US998 BECAUSE THEY NOW ARE US998 and it's not an issue.

You DO have CDMA radio if you converted your H931 to US998. You can't use it on Sprint and Verizon because neither will take an H931 -- NOT because your NOW-US998 doesn't have CDMA. ;)

Sprint won't even take US998 as they only take their own branded LS998 (which is why you have to activate LS998 on Sprint BEFORE Frankenstein, bootloader unlock and root).

Verizon conversely looks only at IMEI, and they see it as H931 even if it's now US998 with CDMA. Be interesting to see what happens when Verizon DROPS CDMA end of this year! ;)

---------- Post added at 10:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 AM ----------

It was converted to Open Market US998. DON'T call it "U.S. Cellular" US998. It's NOT. Many U.S. Cellular phones are carrier locked, and U.S. Cellular only takes phones they sell -- so if a U.S. Cellular customer bought it they would be disappointed.

NO, the bootloader unlock warning will not appear because he's going to lock it back.

Yes, clearly state no refunds.

It's not hard to sell the phone on eBay. Reading through these comments a lot of you guys act like you've never bought or sold on eBay before...

---------- Post added at 11:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 AM ----------

Thank you for bringing some clarity to the discussion.

Yes, relock the bootloader and try the trade in. OnePlus isn't going to look at it that carefully, except to verify it's working. They're immediately going to turn around and WHOLESALE to an eBay dealer -- WHO WILL SELL IT ON EBAY. ;)

The eBay dealer will probably swap out the back panel to get rid of the AT&T logo. It'll be sold as US998, which is what it is.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] jptV30:
H931 does have CDMA radio... I don't know where you are getting your information from... but like I've said... the four models I listed all have the exact same hardware...

You are confusing hardware compatibility with carrier policy...

I didn't say anything about H932...

---------- Post added at 11:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 AM ----------

How do you know it's not an issue? How do you know what is happening between the buyers and sellers on eBay? How do you know how many phones were returned... partial refunds given... or disputes filed? You don't...

Actually... you are acting like you've never done anything on eBay... if you sell a crossflashed phone and you don't state it's crossflashed... you'd have 0% chance of winning the dispute... absolutely 0%...

Now that TouchPal is removed from the play store does anyone know any keyboards that is as good. I know GBoard was never good and inaccurate.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] RPG-XDA:
Hi.

I recently bought a S9+ off ebay and it started to glitch and go into a black screen with only a few icons like the signal bar and battery icon showing. So I tried to reboot and reset the phone through the recovery menu but nothing fixed it.

It just boots up and shows "android is starting" then goes to the black screen and randomly shows that some system process (eg: System UI) has stopped working and gives the options to wait or close it. Neither option does anything. Other than that I'm able to long press the power button and get the power off menu, but can't actually turn it off or restart.

So I tried a stock firmware flash through Odin which completed successfully and the phone booted to the setup screen. But i can't select any other language other than Canadian English cuz the phone will freeze and go into the black screen again. I can only get back to the setup screen by doing a factory reset in the recovery menu. If I continue the setup without changing the language I can get as far as the connect to a WiFi network( which I can't skip cuz I wasn't able to turn off FRP before doing the reset) But when I turn on the WiFi it just loads for a bit and doesn't do anything or display any available networks. And still after a few minutes the phone goes back to the black screen.

I couldn't find any info regarding this issue by searching on Google or the XDA forums.

Please any help regarding this issue is much appreciated.

Thanks

Testing Rom.

There are minor issues other than already reported by OP. These are minor issues and do not discourage installation of this buttery smooth Rom but it would be appreciable, if these can be resolved in next build.

1. In gallery app, video slider doesn't work. If you try to drag pointer on slider, it simply pauses video. The pointer on slider doesn't move. (I replaced the system Gallery2.apk and copied related lib file, which was retrieved from other Rom to resolve the issue).

2. Incall sound is not crisp. It appears just like that some effect has been applied on incall sound. Its not bad though.

3. Vibrate on connect, vibrate on call waiting and vibrate on disconnect doesn't work despite these settings are on.

4. In DarkUI display, cursor isn't visible while editing contacts.

5. After each boot, screen doesn't work unless screen on-off is toggled through power button.

6. Photos from DCIM folder can't be deleted either through gallery or file manager. After deletion, those appear to have been deleted but soon after refreshing view, those photos are visible again.

7. In AOSP-Ex Rom 6.7 build rediffmail app stopped working. It works fine in 6.6 build. This problem has been reported by many users in other mobile threads also.

Will keep updating list, whenever, any other issue is faced. Overall ROM is smooth and can be daily driver. Although FP doesn't work as reported by OP, yet, face unlock works great which compensates FP bug in some way. Thanks for your hard work.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guybrush-threepwood:
Hi everyone,

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 G900F with CFW Lineage OS and custom recovery TWRP (v 3.3.1.0). The device is malfunctioning.

-USB-Port has no data connection at all, neither in OS, recovery nor in download mode..

-device freezes if wifi is turned on

-several other issues with speakers etc..

I want to flash original firmware to regain warranty, BUT can't do that, since USB doesn't work... is there any way to install Stock Rom/Firmware via TWRP? TWRP running on the device is my last hope. I can download all the stock roms in md5 format from sammobile, but since they don't come with the required installer packages for TWRP, I have no idea how to put them on.

Any help is highly appreciated!

Hi, just wanted to give a quick update: With this post, I was able to install the Stock Rom via TWRP:

https://xdaforums.com/general/help/how-to-flash-img-using-twrp-t3558241/page2

The description is a bit hard to decipher but after all it's not that hard...

basically just use the simg2img command (I don't even know if that's necessary for the system.img.ext4 file)

--> simg2img sourcefile.img targetfile.img

then check which partition block is for the system image via command

--> cat /etc/fstab

(for me it was /dev/block/mmcblk0p23)

then double check if the image file is mountable via command

--> mount -o loop targetfile.img mountfolder/

--> cd mountfolder/

--> ls

if the mounted image works with that, a list of folders will show up (app, bin, etc...)

then write image with command

--> dd if=targetfile.img of=/dev/block/"your system block name here"

after that I flashed the corresponding boot.img via TWRP menu and eventually recovery.img too. system boots fine and phone is basically back to original state.

only problem remains --> Download mode shows still "system status=custom", and knox is not reset, so warranty would be void still. So yea, I guess thats it and there doesn't really seem to be a way to reset knox, especially without access to the USB port, I'm not that deep into it, if anyone has a clue, would be interesting but I guess also not really worth the effort with this phone.. Thank y'all for reading!
