what does that mean?

check refurbish in lgup and select the 20h kdz?

I have tried this but I get this error:

For context:

I had US998 20h with bootloader unlocked and TWRP.

I tried to update to pie flashing https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-fw-stock-pie-lg-v30-joan-us998-30b-twrp-flashable-firmware-rom.3973811/ with TWRP

I got stuck on lg boot logo..

I have tried wiping everything and reflashed to no success...

was able to partition dl US998 10d Nougat KDZ, master reset and booted to nougat.

Then went to download mode and partition dl pie kdz in this thread, master reset but stuck on LG V30 logo (not the bootanimation logo but the logo before bootanimation)

I have been trying to get stock pie work on my US998 for nearly 2 years now (I think it was frankeinsted; bought it refurbished) with no luck. My bootloader is unlocked.

I am trying once again.

I am following the method #2 (method #1 does not work) of the post

https://xdaforums.com/t/us998-stock-pie-lg-v30-us998-us99830b_00_0902-kdz.3952256/post-80347089

I have some questions in bold about some steps of method #2:

*You need to be on US99820H with unlocked bootloader*

A- First i started with refurbished US99820h

B- Then i proceeded to partition DL US99810d

Once A is completed, it boots to oreo. I let it boot to welcome screen and then power it off?

Then enter download mode again to partition DL US99810d with dev patched LGUP?

C- MASTER RESET

Once B is completed, it boots to nougat. I let it boot to welcome screen and then power it off?

Then enter factory reset mode to Master reset?

D- Booted into OS, let the phone restart and get to the welcome screen, power off then get in bootloader mode

I already booted to welcome screen once after B; does it make any difference?

E- Flashed TWRP (fastboot flash recovery twrp.img) then boot to TWRP (fastboot boot twrp.img)

F- In TWRP i did this (in steps): swipe to allow modifications->factory reset->format data and type YES->reboot to recovery->factory reset->wipe system->install US99830b zip->install magisk 20.0->install latest disable verity-dm force-encrypt->install AK3 RTCD remover->reboot to system

I was able to get to a rooted LGV30 US99830b via TWRP flashing zip files only. Never had to use LGUP or ADB. Started with H931 ATT model converted to US998 20h, again via TWRP zip files. (Thank you John Fawkes).

Got all the way to 30b, I then downloaded topjohnwu magisk software and extracted .bin file from 30b zip file on the PC. I copied the extracted file to the phones SD card and flashed it with TWRP to the boot folder of the phone and I am rooted. Did not use ADB pull commands for this. It was way easy. All with copy / paste and TWRP. Yay! The topjohnwu magisk site was the key for me. All other attempts failed to root. Never used .kdz files or ADB to get there.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] hammeru:
As a follow-up, I have to give ChazzMatt a ton of credit. I have followed his work all the way back to the LGV30 debut. I have owned this phone since I bought it at ATT in 2017 and have been messing around with it ever since with XDA's help. I have never found a better bang for the buck . Returned over priced One-Plus, Samsung phones after a couple weeks. Rear power button is a natural spot... OLED display, super thin profile, perfect size, OK, I will quit gushing. Currently toting an iPhone 13 mini because of the size and "power". Sorry to offend anyone... I am trying to get the V30 back to a daily driver again now that I have 30b pie and root! Just never found a better phone up to now. Not for lack of trying...iPhone will be in a drawer soon.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] JohnNokomisClark:
Even though I have a V60 as my daily I still like to tinker around with my old US998. It still works perfectly and is a great phone besides the battery life these days. Unfortunately my carrier (Cricket) blacklisted the phone a little while back. A few months ago they also blacklisted my perfectly functioning V40 that I had on a data only plan. It sucks when companies ruin such a good thing for no reason.

Hi guys I have a smart lg v30+ wanted to try to learn how to flash, I flashed according to the instructions us 998 10b then 20b and in general a little rushed when I put lineage and now I have an eternal reboot, download mode is not turned on can not rollback and flash to the native request, custom in the eternal download( it can be fixed? lgup also does not see the device.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Moonfrost1:
Hi, not sure anyone is active here still. I've tried many times in the past to update my phone to Pie to be able to use custom roms but I can't seem to do it. I have a Frankenstein US998 (used to be H931 I believe, the AT&T one) which I was running on 20b with TWRP 3.3.1-1 with unlocked bootloader and root for years, but I removed root last year due to a banking app. I decided to try again last night using the Pie flashable zip. It flashes perfectly, but no matter what I do, the phone is stuck in the LG logo forever. I formated data, cache/dalvik and of course system to install the new OS, but nothing has ever worked.

Since I had the phone bootloop for no reason before this last week (after a restart because video files were not playing), the only way I found to fix it was to flash 20h which I had laying around. A lot of apps are "not compatible" in the play store with 20h, such the Amazon shopping app and the Outlook app for some reason. I tried Download mode but it shows the download mode loading for about 10 seconds and then the phone boots, it never gets to the "software update" part.

So TL;DR: Is there anyway I can get Pie working on this and then install a custom rom such as LOS 21? (I tried that as well and loaded for about 10 minutes or more and then bootlooped each time)? Is there any way to fix my download mode so I can use the patched LGUP and use KDZ files if necessary? I have unlocked bootloader and TWRP but I'm NOT Rooted. Thanks.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Osprey00:
Yeahman45 sounds like he was having the same problem as you (boot loop on LG logo while trying to update to Pie), so try what ultimately worked for him: https://xdaforums.com/t/us998-stock-pie-lg-v30-us998-us99830b_00_0902-kdz.3952256/post-87070821

If that doesn't help, carefully read ChazzMatt's guides. He's the V30 guru here. Perhaps it would help to re-do steps that you've done (or think that you've done) before and maybe also include root this time, if only to determine if that was the problem. Also, you might want to update to the latest TWRP or even try LineageOS Recovery.

Good luck.

For those that have run into issues, can you confirm the MD5 of your KDZ as from Matt's post it sounds like there are a few different versions out there.

At least a couple of folks have indicated success with the MD5: 1abe04d95cf000eca9a78e0ea1df4301 version. This is the one that I got when I downloaded directly from LG.

Matt, which one did you flash that you had success with? Can you confirm that the larger file is a valid KDZ file or is it corrupt / invalid?

Smaller one worked. Larger one (which I thought was perhaps more "complete") gave corrupted error in LGUP. So, went with the other. Rebooted 2 or 3 times with ThinQ logo and LG logo, then settled down.

Flashed from converted LS998 V30+ to US998 V30+ 10d Nougat (sitting in box for months) straight to US998 Pie 30b KDZ via Refurbish mode.

Had to go into Download mode manually -- but that's even recommended in the Frankenstein instructions.

I'm Using Us998 Version, pie custom rom, unlocked bootloader & TWRP 3.2.3.7 Installed.

But when I tried to kdz back to oreo, (20e-20h) I got a little problem, everytime I used "Partition DL" mode, my phone getting bootlooped (stuck on Thinq logo and blinking). And when I flashed it by using TWRP (Flashable stock rom), I'm able to boot it up to system, but as soon as I reached Google login screen, My phone suddenly restart by it self and back to login screen again. It keeps doing that all over and over again, so I installed a custom rom, and it boot just fine.

But I never tried to flash a Nougat KDZ, may be it would solved my problem?

Someone who had TWRP custom recovery tried to install full image KDA with LGUP FOTA, something not mentioned in the Instructions, so that's on them. (IN the Instructions, I specifically say not to mess with LGUP modes not mentioned in the Instructions.)

Someone else had earlier flashed their US998 to H930 Pie KDZ firmware (something else not recommended) and now they can't flash US998 Pie KDZ.

So, both those phones are messed up. But for others who are having problems, I don't know. I'm sorry it's not working for them. Maybe USA KDZ in a few days will act better for them?

If you use Partition DL, yes.

But you should go to H933 Nougat first. It's still a Frankenstein.

https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h933-firmwares/#tab=firmwares

There's not many North America variants you can just cross flash Oreo to Oreo or Oreo to Pie. You have to go down to Nougat first, then do a Master Reset, then flash what you want.

When Canada H933 comes to US998, they have to use Partition DL for Nougat and then at the next stage too.
