sorry for my bad english, Did you or did you not install H933 Nougat? Yes i install nougat , nougat installation finished, after finishing the phone entered in to infinite loop, download mode is broken and master reset mode is broken, only reboots, I followed method 4 but did not perform the frankenstein method, I stayed in step 1, I don't have the unlock bootloader, I don't have twrp, thanks for your help..
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
I'm not commenting on your English. It's just hard to understand your writing when you don't use periods and other punctuation.

If you indeed flashed H933 Nougat, then try Master Reset again.

Master Reset -- using buttons:

1. Unplug phone and turn it OFF. (or catch it during black in the bootloop)

2. Press and hold the Power and Volume down buttons.

3. When the logo appears, quickly release the Power button only -- then immediately press Power button again, while STILL pressing the Volume down button until you see the screen to select Yes to erase and reset everything.

4. Release both buttons so you can make your choices.

Writing it slightly differently -- but same steps -- just so you understand.

With your device powered off, press and hold the Power button and Volume Down buttons simultaneously for a few seconds.

When the LG logo appears, quickly release and then re-hold the Power button while keep holding the Volume Down button.

Let go of the buttons when the onscreen menu appears.

When you see the option to Delete all user data (including LG and carrier apps) and reset all settings message prompt, press the Volume Down button to highlight Yes.

Then press the Power button to reset the device.

Wait until the reset is complete then reboot your device. If it’s able to boot up successfully, proceed with the initial setup.

Quick question, not sure if anyone has asked this yet or not. But I recently converted my LG V30 from AT&T H931 or something like that. To US99820h, used this same method with same Dev LGUP. Falshed Nouget first then Oreo, stayed there.

To get into Android 9 I do same steps ? Nouget but instead of Oreo now I flash Pie ?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Go to the US998 Pie KDZ thread. See top of post #2 and all of post #6. There's five methods to try to get to US998 Pie. Some people have no trouble, but others get hung on the LG boot logo.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] jamey090:
How do I go back to Oreo.

Fiste go to nouget via partition dl then refurbished to Oreo, is it?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Yes, that's the best way.

You'll need to use the Dev Patched LGUP found in the Pie KDZ threads or Frankenstein instructions, not the older Dev Patched LGUP found in the Oreo KDZ threads. Read installation instructions carefully and uninstall any prior version.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] nandof082485:
Was you able to get this working [MENTION=1786883]caquito07[/MENTION] ?

I tried that method upgrade and it was a no go, also went back to Nouget, then all the steps and flashed pie and nothing, every method I kept getting stuck on the LG logo, and no sound when logo appeared like the other firmwares.

I also converted from H931 to US998

Which is the best and bug free custom rom Android 10 for US998 H931 ?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] An`Droid:
IMHO, does not exists. Each version, learned by me, had bugs, flaws and compromises.

The best firmware I have ever seen - original 99820h. Working good and stable.

Also I have tested 30b - there are no visible advantages. But several old utilities stops working. Plus some communication issues.... Reverted back to 20h and happy.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] jamey090:
Yes, I agree with you but I'm bore with oreo.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] An`Droid:
Just stop thinking about that and use perfect reliable smartphone for daily needs. :) Oreo does not have any disadvantages for the current time.

Hope, sometime LG will release the Pie US998 for the Open Market, then we would flash it. )))
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
That's why I'm still on rooted stock Oreo 20h. I have couple of Magisk mods set up the way I want and everything is good.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] customizedsolutions:
I know the feeling all too well. There are a ton of fun things to change up without flashing.

You could install or reconfigure Nova Launcher, dig deep in the LG setting and mess with the always on display, add rain and snow to your lockscreen, etc.

Or, if you have the cash, buy a second phone to hobby with and keep this beautiful, fully functional and stable phone running stock(ish) software. I can't abide crashing apps, missed texts and all the other issues that come with custom roms.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] NeonHD:
Dumb question, but after flashing stock Pie, will I still be able to flash and use pie-based AOSP ROMs (like HavocOS 2.9, LOS16)?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
No. AOSP LOS-16 ROMS need latest stock stock Oreo as base.

But you can flash AOSP LOS-17 ROMs with stock Pie as base.

I have an unlocked, rooted Sprint LGV30 (US998) running Lineage 16 .

From the OP in this thread, I assume that puts me in the following category.

" ;… or your bootloader is already unlocked, see full image KDZ and KDZ-based TWRP-flashable zips below"

After wading through the information and caveats in this thread, I understand the twrp flashable steps as follows:

Using TWRP 3.3.1

1. format data (and full wipe?)

2. Flash Pie Twrp flashable zip. US99830b.zip from John Falkes thread

3. Flash AK3_RCTD_Remover.zip from second post in this thread.

4. Flash Lineage 17.1 lineage-17.1-20200205-UNOFFICIAL-h930.zip from SGMarkus thread

5. Flash gapps, magisk 20.3

If I’ve got it right, then I am ready to jump off the upgrade cliff.

Thanks,

John
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Sounds right.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnseidel:
I had a rough landing after jumping off the upgrade cliff. Everything went fine until start up after L17 booted. I could not connect to Wifi. So close and yet so far.

I did manage to restore L16 (I meant to restore US99830b but my finger had other ideas) This puzzles me because there is a big scary warning in post #1 that says you cannot go back to L16.

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

OK, the camera and the flashlight do not work, but I can still make calls, send texts, google maps looks okay as well as GPS. I've still got root and an unlocked bootloader, So I still have a working phone which appear to be "almost fully functional".

I will try again in a couple of days. After I go though other threads to try and figure out the Wifi problem. It is strange that some people do have it, and some don't. Sometimes the magic works, and sometimes it don't.

Till now US99830b_00_0902.KDZ is the most stable pie version or are there any other builds available? After going through posts by Chazz, I guess I should upgrade to Oreo 20h build and wait for a stable pie release.

Upgraded to US998 30b, using Verizon. Works just fine, except the advanced messaging features, which worked before. Not sure what the deal is there, but it'd be nice to be able to fix it :(. Apparently my carrier doesn't support it? What.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] An`Droid:
Hi,

What is your current carrier?

Look FAQ

It is belongs to SGS9, but I'm sure that V30 will be similar.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
He's saying it worked fine on Oreo with his carrier (Verizon), but now he's getting "not supported" error message on Pie.

It might work again on Verizon Pie instead of this wonky US998 Pie.

LG still hasn't and may never release Open Market USS98 PIE KDZ. The current one (30b) is technically for U.S. Cellular.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] An`Droid:
Just because US998 does not have Verizon's Messaging app.

He could try install Verizon Messages app... might work (or don't) :)

I've been looking at this thread for a few months. Currently on ls998 firmware on oreo, need to flash over to us998 to unlock the phone and use on other carriers. This phone is my daily driver, so I'd like a smooth bug free experience. Is this rom the best version to flash? Or would I be better suited flashing an oreo rom?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] gimpy1:
This one. (imo). I am on version 9 (pie, I think). Very happy with it. The battery seems to drain fairly quickly when I am using the phone for surfing, etc, but I am thinking that is because the battery starting to get old and I do use this as a hot spot quite a bit, asking with other apps.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] An`Droid:
Then you shouldn't unlock the phone. Unlocking - first step to get a headache in the phone maintaining.

Use this instruction to convert the phone to US998 https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76510671&postcount=168

Most suitable and stable for now is Oreo 20h (US99820h_00_0318.kdz), IMHO

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] bryster126:
yeah i was planning on flashing for the unlock. what are the issues with pie?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Last US998 Oreo 20h is better bet. I'm still on US998 20h for daily phone, as are my wife, mom, sister, brother in law.

Follow Frankenstein instructions.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] An`Droid:
Unlock is required to install root or custom fw. You are not mentioned about such plan.

Anyway, there are no custom FWs like "install and forget". All the time you will be involved in solving never ending issues. Wasting time.

Even if you will be so lucky to install the Pie kdz US99830b (it is glitchy during install) you will not get any sensitive advantages over US99820h. Moreover, some older tools/applications are stops working on the Pie.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] cmrntnnr:
There is no information from lg about Pie for open market v30's sold in NA one way or the other. All you or anyone can do is patiently wait or move on. Which direction to take depends on you.

As for me, I love the v30 hardware. It will continue to be my daily driver until there is some really compelling feature in a new phone. Oreo 20h is really good, but it has been over a year now since an update. The v30 is not a priority at LG if they even remember making it! They are onto the v60 now so the v30 is in line behind v35, G7, v40, G8, and v50. It would be miraculous if an update arrived but stranger things have happened. If there is a lesson from any of this it is to never buy an LG flagship on release at full price. LG does not repay loyalty with software/security updates and does not deserve the premium.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Agreed. Oreo 20h is totally stable with no issues. I'm still on rooted stock Oreo 20h, all my family members and friends who have US998 V30/V30+ are still on Oreo 20h.

There was a domino effect with Sprint last fall rejecting the LS998 Pie from LG due to VoLTE issues. Which then prevented the North American Open Market Pie firmware from being "ratified", "certified", whatever they call it -- until the Sprint V30 Pie firmware was fixed. North American Open Market firmware comes LAST, after all carriers so it can incorporate all fixes, as it has to work with all carriers.

Even as late as December, in a forum a Sprint rep said LG was working on it. But now the T-mobile/Sprint merger has completed and the last thing T-mobile wants is devote resources to updating firmware on 2017 Sprint phones. :rolleyes: T-mobile wants you to buy new 5G T-mobile phones. Also, the last thing LG wants is to devote resources updating 2017 LG phones...

So, since Sprint LS998 Pie will probably never be released, neither will Open Market North America Pie US998 firmware ever probably be released. Everyone involved (LG and T-mobile who now owns Sprint) is focusing on other projects.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Wish I could find a V35+ (128GB with 6GB RAM). They do exist but were only shipped to Brazil. 2018 V35 is basically "V40" in a V30 frame (no notch but same specs). However the regular V35 released for North America is only 64GB. I have one of those, used to have two. But V35+ is what I would want to use. That is the logical upgrade for V30!

Issues with US998 receiving calls on Havoc

Hi,

I foolishly upgraded to 30b thinking it was 20b. I've read through the forums and downgraded back to 20H (via Fawkes 20H zip)

I'm able to receive calls and the like on 20H but I really really like Havoc.

When Havoc 2.9 is installed, I don't receive calls. SMS are sporadic when incoming, but I'm able to make calls and send SMS with no issues.

I can browse (sometimes my bluetooth get hung up)

I've reverted back to 20H for now, but would love to know how to unf*ck myself here.

Thanks in advance!
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] cmrntnnr:
I'd really like one of those for the extra memory, too. A google fi original is still a prize in my opinion if you can find one in the sea of at&t models. My understanding is that IMEI's for original google fi's are whitelisted across all carriers making them true world phones. A quality micro-sd card performs almost as well as soldered storage, at least for my purposes. With the leak of the firehose and engineering abl and laf partitions all of the v35 are easy to root.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Three things you can try.

1) Temporarily Partition DL (all partitions) to Nougat US998. Not just Refurbish but Partition DL. Temporarily going back to Nougat clears up some problems for people. Then update back to US998 20h KDZ (via Refurbish or Partition DL), reinstall TWRP and the three root files. Basically, going through Section 6 of WTF instructions again. Then, install the LOS-16 ROM of your choice -- which you say is Havoc 2.9.

2) Go back to stock Pie and try Havoc 3.x. That is the only reason to update to Pie, in my opinion is if you want to try the LOS-17 "Android 10" ROMs like Havoc 3.X.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
On Pie, the TWRP flashable zip is same as KDZ.

But on Oreo, the TWRP flashable zips were incremental updates. So, on early Oreo (for bootloader unlock, TWRP installation) you can't just jump from US998 20a/20b all the way to US998 20h with ONE TWRP-flashable zip. You have to flash 20e, 20f, 20g, 20h zips all back-to-back in TWRP (+ Magisk) to get "all" of what's in the 20h KDZ.

On Pie, the devs changed the way they make the TWRP flashable zips to include more.

However, even on Oreo (as well as Pie) the TWRP flashable zips have an advantage in that devs JohnFawkes & Seadersn team enable DTS Surround Sound and extra lockscreen animation tweaks you would have to do manually yourself if flashing just stock KDZ.

Incredibly helpful. I'm relieved since the zip files are much easier to manage. I'm on 20h now but will flash 20b and flash each zip from b - h +magisk then try Havoc.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Which Havoc are you trying to install? Older Havoc 2.9 (LOS-16/Pie) requires stock Oreo blobs (drivers) like US998 20h. Newer Havoc 3.x (LOS-17/"Android 10") requires stock Pie blobs (drivers) like US998 30b.

If you are intending to install the latest Havoc, you can jump straight to stock Pie TWRP flashable zip from the early Oreo you used for bootloader unlock.

Be aware some people have trouble updating to this wonky stock Pie, however. If you get stuck on the LG logo, you will need to use one of the workaround methods in post #6. Method #3 and especially #4 seem to have the most success.
