Just wondering, did u ever format data?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] schubes:
Thanks for your work on this! I am on 20d still, as I never had a good reason to update to 20h. Do I need to flash up through 20h (20d>e>f>g>h) before going to Pie, or can I flash straight to 30b? Is there a list somewhere of firmware versions you can flash to Pie from?

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nine One One:
I used DEV PATCHED LGUP from #2 post

Enter device into download mode

-Connect the USB cable with your computer – don’t plug it into your phone yet.

-Press and hold the Volume Up key on your LG V30.

-While still holding this button connect your smartphone with your computer

Run LGUP, choose "Upgrade" and us99830b file .kdz and start

Simple :D
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ali1228:

Not sure if the kdz u linked will work or not
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nine One One:

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Yeriorlando:
the download mode is stuck ... It doesn't work for me ... It doesn't recognize anything from the mobile.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
But does it say Download mode?

Do not connect to computer. Just MANUALLY go into Download mode. Does it successfully go into Download mode? Yes/No?

If it goes into Download mode, THEN connect to Computer. Let drivers INSTALL, and finish.

THEN, open up Dev Patched LGUP.

I had no trouble updating to Pie via kdz, TWRP zip, or FOTA. Not sure why so many peeps are having issues. Here is my mega TWRP back up of us99830b if some want to try restoring all parts from clean flash this way via TWRP:

https://mega.nz/#!QUYwiQjD!05hGR38ssl6PkjALm_EVvg2F7PPcmVVXqt-PQVy9-vw 2.6gb so better use a download manager from desktop pc. Unzip into ext sd card of phone, then restore all parts from cleanly wiped twrp
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Yeriorlando:
Of course, I have already entered the download mode. What it shows me is the following: "Waiting for any device connection" that is with the Cable Connected to the PC, which does not recognize my phone or anything.

I really do not understand what you mean by ENTERING THE MANUAL DOWNLOAD MODE?

I did what I showed in the image and it's the same thing I've done and the same thing still happens to me-

What I want to try is a way to enter Fastboot mode to install TWRP

---------- Post added at 08:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 PM ----------

To enter the download mode I am doing the following:

I press volume down + power, until it turns off completely, then I press volume up with the phone connected to the PC and enter the download mode, I only know this way. [MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION]

My v30 is the h931 converted to us998 then installed vs996 (zip flash). I flashed your 9.0 file coming straight from vs996. It booted up just fine and is running smoothly.

Do a factory reset and have your USB cable ready. As soon as you do the factory reset and the phone turns off immediately hold the volume up and plug in the USB cable. I've experienced that same problem a few times and that's what I did to get in download mode
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
* Do NOT update to Pie yet if you wish to unlock bootloader in order to root.

For bootloader unlock/TWRP installation/root, T-mobile H932 users will need to temporarily downgrade to T-mobile H932 Nougat 10d and use [MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION]

LAFPLOIT Instructions

. After that you can update to more current firmware. Read the

Root Sticky here

if you wish to know more.

* 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.

T-mobile H932 is not (yet) compatible with the new "Android 10" LOS-17 custom ROMs. Those ROMs are still

unfinished work in progress

.

* If you've already updated to Pie with locked bootloader, either

* see [MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION]

LAFPLOIT Instructions

) for instructions on how to temporarily downgrade to T-mobile Nougat firmware to unlock bootloader, install TWRP and root

OR

* see post #3 to downgrade to Oreo firmware if you don't like Pie.

* If you have no desire to unlock bootloader and root, then see the full image KDZ below.

* OR your bootloader is already unlocked and you have TWRP installed (via [MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION]

LAFPLOIT Instructions

), then see the KDZ-based TWRP-flashable zips (ROM) listed below. If you have TWRP, then flash the TWRP-flashable zips, of course. ;)

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 DOWNGRADE BACK TO FULL STOCK OREO BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE PIE

(and either you don't have unlocked bootloader/TWRP installed and don't care about that OR you no longer want that)

OR to TEMPORARILY DOWNGRADE TO NOUGAT for TWRP Installation and Root.

1) DOWNLOAD FIRMWARE AND DEV PATCHED LGUP

* Download

Oreo KDZ you wish to install.

(Most recent Oreo KDZ 20s is at the top in that thread)

* For Nougat, download Nougat KDZ you wish to install.

* 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

!)

_________________

UNINSTALL ANY PRIOR LGUP YOU MAY HAVE INSTALLED.

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 T-MOBILE H932 V30/V30+ TO EARLIER OREO or NOUGAT 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 or NOUGAT (depending on your intention) 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 (See

method for Master Reset here

); it is different from Factory Reset. Do NOT use anything else from that Frankenstein thread on H932!)

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.

Which [MENTION=2522637]MicroMod777[/MENTION] made.

It was sort of a software port vs firmware (simplistic explanation).

You can probably post in that thread and request an update?

Please do not try to flash anything from a KDZ or TWRP-flashable zip in this thread to anything but T-Mobile H932.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jsgraphicart:
I was just going over the flashing instructions and I'm just curious, why is it recommended to format data? Isn't this just the same as if I'm updating with the official OTA? I wouldn't have to format data to update that way. Also, I see there is a newer RTCD Remover than the one I have used since the beginning of the V30 root. I have always used the rtcd-disabler and no-verity-encrypt zips. Are they basically the same thing? I read that the person who updated without losing data used these files instead of the AnyKernel 3 RCTD Remover
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
Depends on WHICH flashing instructions you're referring to. You're mixing apples and oranges for some reason.

If you're updating with OTA, you are full stock -- you don't have TWRP custom recovery.

You don't have to reformat data here either if you're full stock. You just flash KDZ via Upgrade mode with LGUP.

Is that the way you wish to update to Pie?

If so, go back to full stock Oreo firmware via Refurbish or Partition DL and then you do NOT have to reformat data when upgrading to Pie. Once back in full stock Oreo firmware, just choose Upgrade mode for PIE.

Of course you'll lose all your data going back to full stock Oreo...

Pie is vastly different. There's new Dev Patched LGUP, there's new encryption disabler and there's new root checker remover.

You have to use the ones listed in this thread or they wouldn't be listed.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jsgraphicart:
I'm on stock but rooted with TWRP. But I'm still wondering why data NEEDS to be formatted. I'm reading it's an encryption thing. I've personally never messed with encryption so I'm wondering why this is causing issues with some but others appear to be upgrading fine without formatting.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
You are not full stock. Please read my reply again.

LG encrypts, not you. We are disabling that. We've always disabled it.

Please quote specific instructions you are referring to and specific examples of these other people you're talking about.

Because you aren't making sense to me. KDZ was released today and there's no TWRP flashable zip yet.

If you flash full KDZ and want to reinstall TWRP yes you have to reformat, just like to did before when you installed TWRP!

Otherwise, wait for the TWRP flashable zip and see what that Dev requires.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jsgraphicart:
I understand what you were saying. And since I am not full stock, it's recommended I format data, correct? I'm trying to figure out if I really need to wipe everything when flashing and if so, why I need to.

Step F:

f. FORMAT DATA (Select WIPE, then FORMAT DATA, then select yes.)

Do NOT delete your OS, but you do need to FORMAT your data , not just "wipe" it this time. Otherwise you may get an encryption error when you boot up the first time. If you get any red mount errors, go back to the TWRP reboot menu and select reboot to recovery and try to FORMAT DATA again. Then, after successfully formatting...

I just want to know why an encryption error comes up with this. Is it a Pie thing? I don't remember having this issue when updating to Oreo.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
You reformatted your data when you installed TWRP before. That's always been in the the WTF instructions.

So you have to do it again, since you're installing TWRP again over full KDZ.

The only thing that's changed are the files you are flashing (they're updated for Pie) and the fact you have to flash Magisk twice. Otherwise reformatting has ALWAYS been in the WTF instructions to install TWRP.

These instructions are based on Pie -- yes, but not the Data reformat part. That's always been there when flashing full KDZ and then reinstalling TWRP.

Now when flashing TWRP flashable zip, you can often dirty flash without reformatting data, but Devs still suggest it.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jsgraphicart:
So the flashable zip will revert the recovery back to stock? Maybe I'm confused and maybe I'm wrong but I don't remember past zips doing that. I thought the devs took that part out. I have always just flashed the update, flashed magisk and the old rtcd-disabler and no-verity-encrypt zips and rebooted.

EDIT: Saw your edit. "Now when flashing TWRP flashable zip, you can often dirty flash without reformatting data, but Devs still suggest it." That's what I was asking because that's what I was planning on doing. But it was still recommended to format data
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] HueyT:
To maximize success, u better format data
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
Did you see this in post #2 of this thread? (See attached screenshot)

There's even a link to someone who dirty flashed (EU H930) Pie TWRP-flashable zip. It's just not recommended and if you have problems then you still have to reformat.
