[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] RoyalDrew:
It's been a GOOD MINUTE since I've commented anywhere on XDA lol.. BUT... I have an issue.. and this may not be quite the right thread for this, but I was hoping Chazz might chime in.

So, I've had a vs996 for a while and I was happy for a long time on a stock ROM+TWRP setup, but I wanted to try something new. I googled around and saw a Lineage OS 18.1 by SGCMarkus. I knew it would probably be buggy, but I wanted to try something AOSPish, since I hadn't in a while. Without looking too much in to risks, I wiped and flashed. I found that most things I could do without except for Google Pay and Cash App.. No matter what I tried with Magisk, I couldn't get it to work.

I then factory wiped again +data+internal storage and flashed the VS99630c in twrp, but quickly noticed that the camera wasn't working. I thought I had messed up quite bigly so, I thought I would just go back to LG UP and start from scratch.. possibly going back to a stock Oreo kdz.

The problem is.. no matter what I do, I can't get ANY PC to recognize my phone as a device when it's in Download Mode. I tried 4 different Win 10 PCs, 1 WIn7 PC, and several different USB-C cables. Nothing seems to recognize my phone while in download mode. The PC doesn't even make a "new usb device" sound.. no changes in device manager. After trying pretty much all day Sunday trying to get something to work, I decided to try something else...

I wiped and flashed back to one of the Oreo(I think it was 20k?) in this thread, got back camera, and then flashed back to 30c(without magisk). I now have working Camera.. and most other things work fine(even Cash App), but still no luck with Google Pay and Download Mode still isn't recognized on PC. GPay still says phone is "rooted or modified in some way".. which.. I thought I should basically be back to where I was before I started this venture.. where GPay worked.. non-rooted.. with TWRP access.

So, now my question really is.. why is my phone undiscoverable in Download Mode(by the way, I tried several different sets of LG Drivers, ADB commands work). It's just strange to me that there's not even a sound from any of the PCs that it sees a new device. If I wanted to just install the 30c or 30d kdz file using LG UP, what would I need to do.

Also, is all of that related to why GPay isn't working? or is it about how the 30c TWRP file doesn't encrypt the Data partition or something? Any help would be appreciated. Again, I apologize for the long post and if it may not quite *fit* into this thread.

Update!!: I was able to get GPay working. I installed Magisk>Used the Magisk Hide module>Cleared cache/data on Google Play Services and Google Play Store>Uninstalled GPay> Rebooted>Reinstalled GPay>GPay allowed me to add card.

GPay was my main concern, so I'm fine with how everything is working on the phone now. If anyone has any idea why my Download Mode/Fastboot isn't working then I'm still open to that troubleshooting.

RECOVERY TIPS if you get stuck on logo while updating to this wonky US998 Pie.

< Please stop asking in Telegram thread or creating new XDA threads when it's right here. We will just direct you back here. OK?

____________

* Do NOT update to Pie yet if you wish to unlock bootloader in order to root.

For bootloader unlock purposes, use the

US998 Oreo KDZ versions with no later than July 2018 security patch: 20a or 20b

.

Look at the names for dates in the title in that thread link. AFTER you unlock bootloader, then you can update to newer firmware (like this Pie). Flashing a newer KDZ (like to Pie) will not re-lock your bootloader.

With unlocked bootloader, then on Pie KDZ you can install TWRP and root.

Stable TWRP 3.3.1 is recommended

by our TWRP dev for Pie.

To install TWRP (or re-install TWRP on bootloader unlocked Pie) and root,

PLEASE follow these instructions for success

!

* If you've already updated to Pie with locked bootloader, see post #3 for instructions on how to downgrade to earlier Oreo firmware to first unlock bootloader. Or downgrade back to most recent Oreo because you decided you don't like Pie.

* If you have no desire to unlock bootloader or your bootloader is already unlocked, see full image KDZ and KDZ-based TWRP-flashable zips below.

* ALSO do NOT update to LG stock Pie yet if you wish to run LOS-16 "Pie" custom ROMs -- at least for now. See

REASON HERE

. Stock Pie update conflicts with LOS-16 Pie, even if you downgrade back to stock Oreo. After stock Pie update, your phone has been permanently changed/degraded when going back to Oreo for custom ROMs. Using Permissive kernel can overcome some of those issues, but you have been warned.

Whereas you do need to update to stock Pie first as a foundation before trying to install "Android 10" LOS-17 custom ROMs. However, those ROMs are still

unfinished work in progress

-- so if you don't like them and want to go back to the older stable LOS-16 "Pie" custom ROMs, then you've totally ignored the warning above. Again, stock Pie makes permanent changes.

NOTE: After installing Pie, if you get weird lag,

*

try this fix.

Just make a backup in LG Bridge. Nothing else. Somehow CREATING the backup (but not actually using it to restore anything) re-sets some stuff in Pie, so it acts like it should? I know it sounds strange but it works. Thanks to [MENTION=7380686]thefpspower[/MENTION] for the tip!

* OR If that doesn't work or you don't have access to PC, try this: go to Settings> Restart & Reset> Reset App Preferences. Thanks to [MENTION=6852175]HoussiLAM[/MENTION] for that tip. Both may do the exact same thing, I've not experimented to see.

HOW TO (temporarily) DOWNGRADE BACK TO OREO FOR BOOTLOADER UNLOCK

(or DOWNGRADE BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE PIE)

1) DOWNLOAD FIRMWARE AND DEV PATCHED LGUP

* Download

Oreo KDZ you wish to install -- for bootloader unlock would be US998 20a or 20b.

(If you just don't like Pie, then choose the most recent Oreo KDZ in that thread, which is US998 20h at the top.)

* DOWNLOAD THIS DUAL VERSION OF DEV PATCHED LGUP, made by [MENTION=2651082]tecknight[/MENTION]:

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603845019

(Or use attached file from bottom of this post. Thanks to [MENTION=2651082]tecknight[/MENTION]! Please

go here and click the THANK BUTTON

!)

_________________

2) INSTALL DEV PATCHED LGUP

1. Extract LGUP_DualMode.zip to a folder on your PC.

2. Browse into the folder and launch LGUP_Store_Frame_Ver_1_14_3.msi.

Follow the prompts to complete the install.

3. In that folder, right click and select "Run as Administrator" on "SetDev.bat" to set LGUP to developer mode

4. Launch LGUP using the desktop shortcut.

Choose Process : PARTITION DL or REFURBISH

----------------------------

3) DOWNGRADING ANY LG V30/V30+/V30S TO EARLIER OREO KDZ FIRMWARE

1) Go into download mode (power off completely, then hold volume up button while plugging in USB cable)

2) open patched LGUP and flash OREO KDZ to DL PARTITION mode. In the pop up box "Select All". Use the attached patched LGUP in this post.

You can also use REFURBISH mode, if you wish.

3) Master Reset (

post 101 of Frankenstein thread

)

5) DONE.

It's fairly easy. Most people breeze right through this. But if you have any problems, go through this list:

Make sure you in download mode BEFORE opening the patched LGUP file.

This is at the top of the list as some people forget to do that. The remainder are in no particular order. If that doesn't work,

Try different USB port,

Try different USB cable,

Try different computer.

Reinstall

LG mobile drivers on your PC.

Reinstall dev patched LGUP again, making sure the files are placed where they need to go (LG Electronics folder, etc).

Reboot the computer.

If you ask for help, that's the list of items we are going to give you anyway. ;)

WARNING: In LGUP do NOT go messing with modes not mentioned in these instructions. Especially do NOT use Chip Erase.

ROOT Your LG V30!

https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/how-to/root-v30-t3927154

Sticky everyone should read. ;)

____________

EXTRAS

If you root with stock Pie KDZ (after unlocking bootloader in early Oreo), then you will need to flash Magisk modules or manually edit build prop to get root-enabled DTS, Equalizer, and lockscreen weather animations. Dual Speaker mode gives you audio directed at your face, besides the main downward facing speaker. High Impedance Mode give you more volume.

(NOTE: The TWRP flashable zips already have this, thanks to the devs who make them.)

* Fully enable LG DTS 3D stereo (root needed) + Equalizer

* LG V30 Lockscreen EXTRA Weather Animations Enabler

* DUAL SPEAKER MODE + HIM (High Impedance Mode)

Hi,

I have a LS998 converted to US998, will I be able to update from the device or LG Bridge or I need to reflash with LGUP ?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
You'll need to flash the KDZ with newer Dev Patched LGUP found in this thread, but you can use Upgrade mode which will keep your data.

If you have TWRP and root, you need to wait for [MENTION=6815443]JohnFawkes[/MENTION] to create TWRP flashable zip. Unless you want to Refurbish to full KDZ, reinstall TWRP and three root files again.

Giddy up! Thanks for setting this thread up!!

ETA: I'm cool with the same version of LGUP I've been using for a while now, right?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Technically (and don't obsess over this whatsoever), this is the KDZ released for U.S. Cellular -- but in the past it made no difference and makes no difference now. We always just grabbed the first US998 KDZ available and has worked fine for almost two years.

I will be curious though when LG releases the "USA" KDZ variant, to see if for some reason it's slightly higher number like 30c (but may be same security patch date).

In the past all US998 firmware are really the same and have had same numbering. There was no difference U.S. Cellular and official Open Market in any way we could tell.

1) Wait for the TWRP-flashable zip if you want to do it the easy way. [MENTION=6815443]JohnFawkes[/MENTION] will create when he has time. Don't ask for ETA, please.

2) Otherwise, flash full Pie KDZ via Refurbish mode with Dev Patched LGUP. You'll still have unlocked bootloader. Then, follow the instruction in post #1 to reinstall TWRP and three root files:

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
:confused: There's a guy with H930 trying to flash this US998 KDZ who's stuck on V30 logo? This isn't for H930 and is clearly stated in the Download links.

You HAVE H931 right now, or you have already converted H931 to US998 firmware?

If you've ALREADY CONVERTED to any US998 firmware (via Frankenstein method), you can then update to US998 Pie like the instructions say on page 1.

If you are bootloader unlocked and rooted, and you are on AT&T H931 TWRP flashable zip (which you shouldn't be unless you are an AT&T customer) -- simply as a precaution, maybe flash US998 Oreo 20h TWRP flashable zip before flashing full PIE US998 KDZ.

Otherwise wait for US998 Pie TWRP-flashable zip.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
I have the newer versions of Dev Patched LGUP posted in all the Pie KDZ threads, as well as the WTF and Frankenstein thread. This can handle Pie. Please uninstall all previous versions and read the installation instructions carefully. Any people so far posting with issues didn't follow the installation instructions.

The older version of Dev Patched LGUP is still in the Oreo KDZ threads. It can't handle Pie, but there are uses for it so I'm keeping it there.

---------- Post added at 01:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 AM ----------

If anything, you can enter fastboot mode and reflash twrp to regain access. Enter fastboot mode by shutting the phone off (volume down and power) and when it powers off immediately hold volume down and plug in the USB cable. That will/should put it in fastboot. From there you can flash twrp and boot into twrp from your computer. Fastboot commands = fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

Then fastboot boot recovery twrp.img

I finally on pie, for those who stuck on LG logo, and if you still have TWRP recovery try to factory reset (press and hold power + volume down button, as soon as you get the phone to shut down for a few seconds, before it turns back on you need to press and hold volume down and power at the same time. Once you see the logo let off the power button then press it again and hold it. Then it'll take you to factory reset) and downgrade to oreo via flashable zip in my case I use 20G. After that I connect my device to LGUP and choose refurbish then flash 30b kdz file. and then use adb to flash TWRP and while in TWRP flash 3 root files. hope it helps.
