Format Data in TWRP. For some weird reason, Internal Storage gets messed up after flashing OOS. And the screen issue might have been a Magisk Module or some other error. Maybe an issue with the ROM. I'd certainly try another ROM
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] SkyLukewalker:
I'm going to do the whole process all over again, just to be sure, and try to copy the necessary files over to internal storage before flashing Magisk. Will update once the process gets there. I'm going back to rooted OOS for now because nearly 7 hours of setup is not fun in the least for a daily driver phone.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] SkyLukewalker:
I managed to copy over the files in TWRP, with internal storage showing up as Internal Storage (A6013). However, once booted into system, it now shows up as Internal Shared Storage (A6010) with nothing in it. Using the phone's File Manager, the copied files do not show up either.

But going back to TWRP, Internal Storage shows up correctly with the copied files. Did Format Data in TWRP and rebooted into system. Still the same issue. Please help?

Edit: tried doing the same method all over again. This time, the MTP error shows up in TWRP also. Can't see anything anymore.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8892904:
Well. In such a case MSM is the way to go. I'd recommend using a Windows Laptop. Although as a last resort if try the Fastboot ROMs before MSM. Search OP6T Fastboot ROMs
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] SkyLukewalker:
I found this thread and downloaded the appropriate Fastboot ROM (9.0.17). Just a couple of questions:

1. do i need to do the persist partition step?

2. where in TWRP do i have to go to do adb push and adb shell?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8892904:
Those things are not necessary. Just unzip and use the Flasher in the archive. The default one should be sufficient. The others aren't needed.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] SkyLukewalker:
Hopefully it works from the VM. Otherwise i will have to do it manually from Linux terminal. Thank you for the advice. Will report tomorrow when the process is done.

Hi, I have an LG Nexus 5X. I'm trying to add a SanDisk 64GB SD Card (SDXC.) My question is, do I need to do anything (like formatting) before I add it? I don't want to have to open the case again.

Good Question, If I am Running US99830B but I have a TWRP backup of US99820H can I just do a restore back to 20H?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Yes, if you already have Oreo TWRP backup, then you can restore that.

But if you are on Pie with TWRP, I don't recommend just flashing the 20h Oreo TWRP-flashable zip to return to Oreo.

* For one, you would have to downgrade back to Magisk 18.

* 2nd, to be sure, you would have to flash the 20e, 20f, 20g, 20h TWRP flashable zips. Same way when updating from early Oreo you go through that succession to get to 20h or stuff doesn't work right.

You don´t need to enable USB debugging to unlock bootloader but OEM unlock option has to be enabled.

Check in device manager, you have to see it under "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" to confirm that device really entered to EDL mode otherwise it didn´t do.

Repairing LAF Partition with LG Bridge

I face similar issue when I reset my phone (also h932) and then TWRP deleted and replaced by stock recovery. I tried to install twrp again via lafsploit method no luck. my phone not detected on my PC. so I decide to download LG Bridge and perform an update (I assume that your phone can boot android). If your phone is already running 30d pie then click update error recovery (see image below). If you still on older version you can update to recent version without update error recovery

[IMG="LG Bridge update error recovery"]https://i.imgur.com/doPsJEA.png[/IMG]

proceed and wait till complete. laf partitiom will be restored and download mode works as usual

download LG Bridge

(select software update >> software update tool)
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] hendavi:
May I ask did your phone bootloader unlocked when update using LG bridge. Actually I try before using update error recovery but no luck. After download firmware when install update on stock recovery, it hang on 5% then restart. My phone is bootloader unlocked when I try. Is it necessary has to be on locked bootloader. Thank you.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] immns:
yes, i did it with unlocked bootloader. in my case, i could enter download mode but my pc couldn't detect any device. have you tried to enter download mode manually? what's look like? mine says "unknown 0/0/0"

if you never try to flash laf partition with another things (e.g stock laf or twrp), it might be still using h933 laf, and that means you can try to flash twrp using fwul
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] hendavi:
Thank you for reply, I have try manual enter to download mode but not successful. The phone restart when it boot into download mode.

Reposting this here for visibility:

Hello all. So I am having a similar issue. I was already running a stock rom and I flashed the stock laf from the stock H932 thread. However, I noticed that the latest laf version from that thread doesn't match the latest firmware. I'm not sure if that was the cause but I lost my download mode abilities and twrp recovery (booting into recovery shows "no command". My bootloader is still unlocked and the device will boot into the stock system but download mode freezes whenever accessed meaning I can't use either oreo or pie LGUP to repair it. It shows Unknown B79 and says Unknown / E / L / RO at the bottom. Does anyone have an idea on if there is anything I can do to restore download mode? I noticed I have Would it cause problems to relock the bootloader at this point, as I would like to relock it with the coming changes to safetynet. Thank you for any help.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
I don't have any suggestions other than what was already posted in the H932 root thread.

1) If you're NOT already on Pie, you should be offered an OTA update, which will repair Download mode (at least previous OTA updates did that).

2) If you're already on Pie, you need that Pie OTA file which everybody is looking for. Force flashing that with LGUP in FOTA mode (inside the OS) should also repair Download mode (at least previous OTA updates did that).

Do NOT relock the bootloader unless the phone is completely, 100% stock. Otherwise you'll get a brick on next boot, when signature checks are performed on all partitions. As I understand, this will blow a Qfuse, which is irreversible.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] tbxn:
Thanks for the info. I'm already on pie. It seems the .up file is nowhere to be found. I can use the phone as is but with the bootloader unlocked I'm hoping that I won't be affected by the supposed upcoming safetynet changes. Is there no other way to repair the laf partition besides getting a hold of a file it seems no one has? Thanks for your help.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
I do understand. But remember that Qualcomm, LG and T-Mobile all went out of their way to make sure that this phone was locked down and un-rootable. They stripped flash and boot commands from fastboot. And they choose RSA signatures different from all the other V30 models, so that it would be like a prison island in the middle of the ocean.

The only reason we can still root it at all, is because of a massive effort by a brilliant and knowledgeable Dev, who reverse engineered the boot and laf code. And he found this narrow path to let us root it.

But that doesn't mean the H932 just rolls over and starts to cooperate with us: It's still designed to make it as difficult as possible for us to do what we're trying to do. And it is very unforgiving of any mistakes.

So once both TWRP and Download mode and root (in the OS) are gone, there's not much left to fix the situation. The only thing left is LGUP FOTA. But it requires an OTA file. Several were posted for Oreo, but none so far for Pie.

Anybody with an H932 and enough time on their hands can capture it, if they're willing to roll back to Oreo (losing their data) then update again using OTA.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] tbxn:
I understand, and I am also very grateful for the work put in by that dev and the many others here on xda who help other users out. Perhaps some generous person will be able to do like you mentioned and be able to capture the OTA link. Just out of curiousity, what would that process look like? Roll back to oreo via lgup? And then what would be the best way to capture the link? Could it be done without root? Thanks again for your input.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
Yes, roll back to Oreo with LGUP. The best way to do that is via Nougat in Partition DL mode, in order to rewrite the partition table. Then to Oreo from there, Upgrade mode should work.

Then trigger the OTA (if it doesn't come right away) by changing the date forward a few days at a time.

Once the OTA is offered, there is a process to capture the link. I've never done it myself. The OP posted a link in post #1, but XDA scrambled it for the benefit of... well, someone, we'd hope. Google should be able to find it.

One thing I forgot: You can also try LG Bridge Recovery mode, if you haven't already. Some reported it fixed their Download mode, others say it requires Download mode. Worth a try. See post #2.

Edit: Capturing the OTA does NOT require root, that much I remember. I seem to recall you just search through logcat file immediately after starting the OTA download. But again, I haven't done it myself.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] tbxn:
Yea, I tried LG Bridge but I ran into the same problem as LGUP. When the phone reboots to enter download mode it freezes in download mode. It does the same thing when I manually enter download mode. I tried different ports, cords, pcs etc. all the same outcome.

However, I may be able to get ahold of another H932 so that I can possibly try my hand at capturing the ota link. I have to be more careful with this one, haha. It was never rooted or bootloader unlocked and I have no intention of doing that. Does it still need to be rolled back to nougat to rewrite the partitions if it was always stock? If so, then I would flash Nougat_h93210c_00_1017.kdz in Partition DL mode selecting all partitions, then flash Oreo_h93220h_00_0416.kdz (in Partition DL mode selecting all partitions again?) and then capture the update url when I get it via adb, correct?

The H932 handset that lost twrp and download mode was last flashed with one of the latest twrp flashable roms based on the kdz and not the actual stock kdz so I hope it still has a chance of working, but at the very least hopefully I can capture the ota url for some other's benefit.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
That's a good plan, including the bit about being extra careful :D

I would first perform a Factory Reset (from Settings menu) while still in Pie. This will save you from FRP and possibly other issues. Then LGUP Partition DL back to Nougat 10d, using the latest Dev Patched LGUP from one of ChazzMatt's threads. Then reboot. If any problems Master Reset (Button Dance). Then LGUP Upgrade to latest Oreo 20s. Reboot.

Make sure you know what to do when you get the OTA offer BEFORE you get it.

I think there's a good chance you'll be able to salvage your other H932. It doesn't have to be completely stock for LGUP FOTA to restore Download mode. At least that's what others reported.

And posting that Pie OTA will be a great help for many people!

Edit: Of course there IS a risk to the unlocked phone. People have had issues going back and forth to Pie. Just saying...
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] tbxn:
Yes, I have taken a look at the steps to capture the link and they seem simple enoughto just use adb logcat while the ota downloads. But I just want to clarify beforehand... When I use LGUP to partition dl back to nougat I think I should be selecting all partitions, but when I go from nougat to oreo should I be using partition dl again and selecting all partitions once again? Just want to verify, thanks.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
I had suggested the Upgrade mode for going from Nougat to Oreo, but you can do Partition DL too. In fact, that may be best since you're going straight from 10d to 20s. Yes, all partitions.

[MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION]: You sometimes warn about going straight up to the latest Oreo. Any thoughts here? Particularly coming from Pie in the first place?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] tbxn:
OK, so I flashed the stock phone and got to the point of running logcat. Nothing showed up in the logcat so I used the Take Bug Report method. I found two different ota file urls in the log. One of them was repeated more often so I think that is the correct one. However, I am unsure as to how I should proceed now. Do I need an .up file in order to use fota on the phone with no download mode? Did I perhaps grab the wrong zips? The zips appear to contain all the ota partition files. Trying to use the zip results in a "Windows cannot find WPDAPI.exe" error and an MTP is not running error. Granted this is the LGUP version that i just used to flash the stock phone successfully.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
These T-Mobile Oreo TWRP flashable zips are different from the others. Made by different dev. So, I think it's OK to flash straight to it. It's just the other Oreo zips were more incremental, almost like a TWRP flashable OTA. The two devs then changed their approach for Pie, so no concern about Pie TWRP flashable zips. Neither did any T-Mobile Oreo TWRP flashable zips.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] tbxn:
So I tried uninstalling lgup and installing the oreo version. Now when trying to flash the zip via fota I receive an SPC Code does not match error. I'm wondering if I grabbed the wrong zip or not.

---------- Post added at 06:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 PM ----------

So in a weird turn of events I just tried to flash the oreo kdz via partition dl on the phone with the messed up download mode and it actually went through. No idea why, as I had tried that many times already. It looped on the first reboot but after the button dance it loaded in. Should I flash it back to nougat to make sure the partitions are good or should I just take the tmobile ota at this point? After taking the OTA would it be safe to relock the bootloader? Thanks.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
Excellent, I think you did it!

Your phone wasn't fully stock, so we didn't expect the FOTA upgrade to complete successfully. Just far enough to restore Download mode. And I think that's what happened: Download mode was fixed as the first part of the FOTA. Next it tried to finish the update, but failed because the phone wasn't stock. Who cares, since you now have working Download mode again!

And indeed, you were able to complete the flash of the Oreo KDZ on the phone. So you're back in business.

I suggest you Partition DL to Nougat 10d, all partitions. It's a great cleanup. Verify it's working. Then lock the bootloader while still on 10d. After that you can flash Oreo 20s, either Upgrade or Partition DL.

Edit: Note that re-locking the bootloader is potentially the most risky step you can take, since you're giving the phone permission to brick itself if anything isn't stock.

I've never done that LGUP FOTA mode thing myself. Member [MENTION=3805155]wireeater[/MENTION] shared his steps in the post here (in the H932 root thread) but unfortunately the link inside it is dead now. I wish I had saved it back when it was first posted.

You would do this forum a great service if you post the URL to that OTA file immediately -- lest you forget or suddenly have to attend to something else. If you have a way of sharing the file too, that would be great, but less critical. And of course the steps you took, even if just in bullet form.

Once again well done! :good:

PS. Please, share that URL. Also, did I mention it would be great if you could share the URL for that OTA?:D

Thank you for that!

This was all KDZ flashing with LGUP Partition DL, going from Pie to Nougat 10d, then up to Oreo 20s. I was just wondering if the concerns you had mentioned also applied to that.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
No concerns. KDZ is always full image. But as you know, it wipes out TWRP custom recovery.

Plus most of the last Oreo TWRP flashable zips have build prop mods already enabled to have DTS Surround Stereo and full weather animations. But not T-Mobile H932 nor AT&T H931, I don't think. Flashing KDZ loses TWRP and you need to manually enable those.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] tbxn:
So I am not sure if these files are correct or not but I will leave the links here in case someone knows better. As I said there were 2 different OTA links in the logs and I'm not sure which is what. The second link is the one that was repeated more in the log file, it is also slightly larger in size.

https://ota.googlezip.net/packages/.../cb094c67464dcf7c4f551db7a80dfc467b51070a.zip

https://ota.googlezip.net/packages/.../0323aec4bf7707855a5f58b85826ec951e3f6bf4.zip

As for steps I took... I was trying a lot of different stuff so it's hard to say exactly. It didnt seem like either zip file was working with the latest lgup dual pie version. I kept getting mtp errors. I uninstalled and reinstalled lgup and one time was able to run the latter zip file a few percent in before it errored with an spc code error. After that I had no idea anything had changed at all but just to try something I flashed the oreo 20s kdz via partition dl with all partitions selected and it took. From there it was just cleaning up.

Thank you for all of your help. I just got done locking the bootloader again and it seems everything is working well. Thanks again.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
Thank you for sharing those files. I am downloading them now, now sure yet which one is most likely to be the right one.

They're too big for me to share on my Google Drive, and I don't have an AFH account. [MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION] would you consider hosting them along with your other valuable V30 library? These (or one of them) are the long sought after H932 Pie OTA file, used to regain Download Mode when both TWRP and Download mode have been lost (and there isn't a rooted OS, which otherwise could be used to re-flash them).

As for which LGUP version to use, I wouldn't know: The latest Dev Patched makes sense, since this is for users who are on Pie. The previous successful reports of using FOTA to repair Download mode were definitely using the older Oreo LGUP, but they were also on Oreo ROMs. But it sounds like the Oreo version was the one which did it for you.

As for the error messages you received: The WDAPI and MTP errors may be related (although not sure): MTP mode (on the phone) is needed for LGUP FOTA mode to work. Maybe WPDAPI.exe is the LGUP module to facilitate that (very different from when LGUP talks to Download mode).

Member [MENTION=5984759]mateus.sc[/MENTION] talks about it in this guide, and WDAPI.exe is included in his LGUP download.
