You said it was a "no-go" for US998 pie. I was questioning HOW you were trying to flash that -- either TWRP flashable zip or KDZ? Because you implied that you tried...

You can go from H931 firmware to US998 anytime you wish, as long as you follow the instructions.

I was pointing out the different ways of flashing the US998 Pie, and that post #6 of this thread has four different workarounds which help further.

[MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION] I cleaned flashed this as you mentioned

US99830b.zip, Magisk-v20.4.zip, AK3_RCTD_Remover.zip, Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_08.18.2019.zip

Yeah, those are pesky games that download automatically on this ROM for U.S. Cellular. (North American Open Market US998 Pie was never released.)

Only quoting the post above because the question below referenced it.

[US998][STOCK][PIE]LG V30 US998 US99830b_00_0902.KDZ

See post #2 (one method) and post #6 (four other methods) of that thread for successfully updating to US998 Pie. MOST people can just flash this handy US998 30b TWRP-flashable zip JohnFawkes graciously made for our phones. But we tend to hear from the people who get stuck on the LG logo. So, you will need to use those workaround methods listed in those two posts.

The

H931 Oreo TWRP-flashable zip

is what [MENTION=2190582]mrsubway[/MENTION] used to return to AT&T H931 rooted, stock firmware. You would only use that IF you are an AT&T customer and need AT&T firmware. Flashing that will lock you back to AT&T network. (I am an AT&T customer and I am still on US998 firmware.) Seems the dev of that thread removed the download link because he's working on an H931 Pie TWRP-flashable zip. If you NEED the H931 Oreo TWRP flashable zip, it may -- cough -- be posted elsewhere. I hate to post a public link when a dev has removed his download link.

Otherwise you should flash the

US998 20h Oreo TWRP flashable zip from this thread

until you are ready to take another run at US998 30b Pie.

I'm still on rooted US998 Oreo myself on my daily phone. I did upgrade to US998 Pie on my backup phone (former LS998 converted to US998) with no issues (went straight from Nougat to Pie), just to see that it could be done. But I gave that phone to my brother-in-law.

---------- Post added at 10:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 AM ----------

I'm still on very stable rooted US998 Oreo. I'm keeping at least another year.

[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Ascii3:
To confirm for the US998, is it correct that the Android Pie firmwares to date (through US99830b_00) do not have well-working Sprint VoLTE, whereas the Android Oreo firmware did have well-working VoLTE?

The US998.USA specific sub-model is only offered updates through Android Oreo US99820a_04, yet the other sub-models appear to have been offered newer firmware. US998.BPT appears to be offered firmware through Android Oreo US99820c_03; US998.UCL has been offered firmware through Android Oreo US99820h_00 then Android Pie US99830b_00.

Do you have any information as to why the open market US998 (US998.USA) was not provided the newer Android Oreo updates? Were the newer Android Oreo updates lacking in some significant way?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
You would have to ask LG why they didn't release Open Market US998 (US998 64GB, US998U 128GB V30+, US998R 128GB V30S) updates. Especially for the US998 V30S, which came from the factory with Oreo 20a update already installed, we don't see any further updates.

However, LG-Firmwares.com, which is the main site we check, is not officially affiliated with LG. They are more a "fan" website and they get firmwares by manually downloading them from their own LG phones or maybe leaked to them from LG insiders.

I have three native Open Market US998/US998U. For all the Oreo KDZ (20a - 20h) there was no difference between the Open Market firmware and the US Cellular firmware, that we could tell. And flashing any KDZ via Refurbish or Partition DL (all partitions) fully updated that phone. The only time we had to incrementally update was for the Dev created Oreo TWRP-flashable zips. Specifically after 20d, with 20e, 20f, 20g, 20h, there were too many changes. However, you could go straight from Nougat 10d and go straight to Oreo 20h via KDZ and be fine. I've done it on two different V30+ phones.

However, with US998 30B KDZ for U.S. Cellular it acts wonky. We were hoping LG would release a Pie update for Open Market US998 but they never did.

U.S. Cellular is a minor carrier and LG did not create a bespoke model for them like they did for AT&T (H931), T-mobile (H932), Verizon (VS996), Sprint (LS998), regional carriers (AS998). Instead they gave them the same phone used for the Open Market, the US998. This was the phone given to all reviewers when LG launched the V30, as it worked with ALL carriers. With Nougat and Oreo firmware there seemed to be no difference in "Open Market" firmware and "U.S. Cellular" firmware. But with the Pie update, it put in more adware and U.S. Cellular apps.

So i hate asking a goofy question but I cant find the search specific forun section on the new site. Im using my lg v30 as a backup at the moment. Been awhile since I had to flash anything.

So last time I used the phone I flashed Lineage os to play with. I had some data issues with Redpockett(att) so I decided to flash this rom.

Wiped, formatted everything and flashed this rom.

Camera doesnt work. Worked with Lineage OS but assuming I forgot a step.

Any advice.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] schwinn8:
WHICH Lineage version was the phone on? Going from Custom to stock-ROM usually needs to be done via KDZ, I think... but if you're coming from PIe there are even more steps required.

[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] schwinn8:
IIRC you may need to flash Nougat KDZ and then go to this ROM via KDZ as well. I don't think you can jump between stock/custom ROM on this phone without doing this. And you can't do this in TWRP either. Others may be able to detail further, but that's where I'd start.

It could be a dm-verity issue, if this device has it... As far as disabling dm-verity, I'm not 100% sure how on the v30 (or if this is even applicable, v30 was a few phones back) or could be down to what specifically you are modifying.

Question regarding this "stock rom". So I have US_Mobile without hotspot included in the plan. But seems when enabling and using hotspot, I indeed do have it. Was there happen to be any modifications to the rom to bypass hotspot limitations or something?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
There shouldn't be. The only modifications made by the developer were to enable all weather animations and DTS:X. Otherwise it's stock ROM.

But the Open Marker US998 phone came with hotspot enabled when used on many carriers, like AT&T. And I guess T-Mobile? It was an unadvertised advantage since it's not a "carrier" phone.

It is annoying that LG never released a true open Pie rom for US-998 phones. A possible way around this is to "localize" a Pie rom for another region like what can be done to bring A10 to the V35. This is the idea and what I have tried.

- LG UP via nougat to H933 Pie. This is nominally open and has an OP partition.

- Extract OP image from V350ULM-20F rom.

- Make edits to OP V30 cfg files to point to OPEN_US instead of OPEN_CA. Change country codes, too.

- Copy OPEN_US to OP of V35 to V30.

- Edit cfg's in OPEN_US to reflect V30 instead of V35.

Everything on the phone works except that I cannot get a cellular connection. Has anyone tried something like this or have suggestions?

You have to read the WTF bootloader instructions. You can't just flash it and hope it works. Well, you can... But it probably won't work. You have to temporarily downgrade to the version of early Oreo that allows the bootloader unlock exploit. Unless just by luck you are already on that. Obviously you weren't.
