[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] kuapao:
Hi! I am hoping someone can help me. I woke up last week to find that my charging V30+ US998 (rooted Pie) had a black screen. It died around 230AM, based on CerberusApp.com logs. I assumed it was a battery issue, since no matter what button combination I pressed, the screen wouldn't come on. So, I replaced the battery, but, screen is still black.

I happened to be QFIL-ing a new-to-me V40, so, I thought I would just see if the V30 will be recognized by the PC. Lo and behold, the PC beeps when the V30 is connected by USB. And...when I press Vol- and Power, it beeps off and on again. Device Manager indicates a 9008 device. However, I tried the firehose efl at the OP and the firehose efl that I was using for my V40, but I keep getting Sahara errors. Anyway, I guess my phone is not entirely dead.

I was wondering if someone can suggest a way to troubleshoot the V30 "screen blank" issue by connecting it to PC and using some kind of software? Is there a special button combination to get the phone recognized by LG Bridge? I can't tell if it's caused by bad OS or if likely a hardware issue. This phone had been working great since I rooted it Dec 2021. I don't care if I lose data, so I am willing to nuke it all, just to get the phone working. I like this specific phone model and am sorry that LG stopped making these cellphones.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] surgemanx:
Use this with MiFlash,and it should bring it back up.You can try Qfil,but with my V30 I never could get it to restore and always gave me errors.This has the MiFlash included.Here's the link:

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] kuapao:
Thank you, I will give MiFlash a try.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] kuapao:
I got the same results as in post #69: "ERROR: Failed to initialize (open whole lun) UFS Device slot 0 partition 1". I give up. Will give the phone a funeral. I really liked that the fingerprint sensor was also the power button.

If I were to give it away for spare parts, should I just remove the logic board since the memory is embedded?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] surgemanx:
Try just writing the boot,and recovery image with Qfil from that unbrick folder and see if it will boot in to download mode.Then just use a kdz to refurb it.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] hnasar99:
Can you explain in more detail how to do this? I am following this thread because I am in the exact same situation with my V30.. thanks!
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Azareelborja:
okay so I didn't try miracle box but qfil still errors. So my version is v300k, if I download the us9880 and use miflash so I can boot into dl mode and do refurb will it work?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] surgemanx:
Yes just write those partitions with Qfil,and see if it will boot in to d/l mode.Then flash the kdz of choice.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Azareelborja:
Just finished it last night and unbricked it. Just flashed it and it works in qfil, I thought it will still sahara error but it works but I used chiperase since I can't use refurbished because I got error.

some one please help me i have lg v30 dual sim and i have flashed it through lg up but only one sim is working not showing the other sim
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] XZavierX:
Its 2024 and here i am with a new problem on hand.

I have an LG V30 which is bricked on the LG LOGO and its stuck there

Cannot enter download mode though i can enter the factory reset mode and it erases but nothing happens its just useless,i can also enter the imei screen but that is useless as well (i copied my imei if i have to wipe it at some point though i dont know how to re write it)

Here are things that i have tried:

Tried to boot into download mode with every way possible also the one @ChazzMatt described in this thread but it did not work at all. i can enter the EDL mode but i do not know what to do with it and i am a total newbie to EDL, so i would really appreciate a detailed guide on how to successfully boot into download mode so i can LGUP without any problems.

This all happened because my LG V30 was firmware flashing US998(android 7) on H933(android 9) and suddenly the dumb laptop somehow got disconnected from it and BAM! THIS CONDITION ARISED.

Please guys i need your help this is my one and only phone and i m very frustrated i cant do anything.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] XZavierX:
So i tried each and every way taught in this thread like the method with miracle box and mi flash tools etc , i successfully flash with miracle box but my device does not go into download mode and it is in the same position as it was before i.e i cant do anything...

All i need to do is to access the download mode but i can't do that + Miracle box is the only tool that flashes successfully so i was hoping can i flash the whole rom? if so then how? Please help me here.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] XZavierX:
Update after 2 whole days!!!

*FIXED ISSUE*

As you can see above i fixed this issue in just 2 days and I know all the steps on how to fix it.

The main keypoint was the EDL Mode (Qualcomm) , If your phone is not being detected then u need to do the keydance with your device and put it in the EDL Mode.

After doing that you have to download the 2018 version of the miflashtool (2018 ONLY) and FLASH the firmware to YOUR LG DEVICE (I used us998) (my lgv30 is h933 Canadian) If this fails then you have to re put your device into EDL mode and keep doing it until it works, also if you didn't understand my rushed steps then I will upload a thread post here tomorrow because it's f*****g 3am and I m sleepy ;)

HOW I FIXED MY HARDBRICKED LG V30 H933 CANADIAN ​

Things u will need:​

LG V30 US998 Android 8 Firmware

MI FLASH TOOL LATEST (IF THE 2018 ONE DOESN'T WORK)

LUCK ON YOUR SIDE (MOST IMPORTANT) ;)

My Story:​

So most of you must be thinking how i hardbricked my LG V30 H933, well i was just doing the FRANKENSTEIN on my LG V30 following @ChazzMatt instructions but somehow my stupid dumb a** laptop in the middle of downloading firmware to my device automatically disconnected the device on its own ( I M STILL CONFUSED HOW TF THAT HAPPENED ) I was very confused but i didn't think of it as major because in my life i never had the D/L mode of a device flashed with firmware ( I USE SAMSUNG ) but i knew i was f****d when i saw the download mode isn't booting... I saw many posts on XDA and other websites but to no avail.

I followed this guide but it didn't work at first either but i kept trying and somehow the Mi Tool made it work!

WHAT I TRIED :​

First of all you have to put your LG V30 into EDL mode, for that you have to turn off your device completely by master reset and then just plug in usb with laptop or pc and after plugging it in i immediately pressed the power button and vol - button and pressed the vol + button once and holded it pressed after pressing once and bam the device was in EDL mode,

Now the FIRMWARE and MI FLASH TOOL comes to work, Open the MI FLASH TOOL and direct it to the extracted firmware file that is mentioned in here. (US998)

Press the Flash Button With Fingers Crossed And Hope For The Best And Then Finally The Device Will Start Flashing.

You Might Come Across An Error After Pressing The Flash Button But Just Press OK and FLASH!

If The Flashing Does Not Succeed In First Try Then Again Master Reset Your Device And Put Into EDL Mode And Keep Doing This Until You Succeed!

VOILA !!!!!

YOU SUCCESSFULLY FIXED YOUR DEVICE !!!

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] almorgs:
I added a bootup PIN on my Poco when I got it a year ago but have given the phone to my girlfriend. She can never remember the bootup PIN and wants it turned off and I have no recollection of how to turn it off.

I tried Googling it but they just mention the screen lock PIN rather than the bootup PIN.

Thanks in advance.

Then you're in Sim Lock Settings - deselect Lock SIM card

I find the MIUI settings menus a pain in the hoop so tend to use the settings search bar a lot more than I ever did with stock Android

[LG Q6 Questions & Answers] qbektrix:
I am using LG Q6+ (LG-M700DSK) Android 8.1.0 'V20c-IND-XX'.

Its a decent phone for daily use & maps for driving & I plug it to the car charger. But the issue is the camera. Its seems to be 13MP, but picture quality is crap. Especially outdoor, its shaky & low light is horrible. The default software was bad, open camera is better. But the camera via whatsapp is just bad, seems like its using the default software.. So, I take a picture with open camera & send it via whatsapp instead of using the camera via whatsapp.

Its a decent phone and I dont want to just upgrade it for the camera alone. So, is there anyway I can improve the camera? update the driver/firmware? Does changing the ROM help the camera?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] makiss78:
Well its 2 July 2008, its a really hot day (here in Greece) and I am tired of flashing more and more ROMS to my UNI. It's not only flashing but the boring procedure of installing software. If you see the other devices forum, the people there more happy with the releases (just see the small brother of our UNI, wizard (qtek9100 etc) it has many roms that are years after Universal roms. We have the problem that we have VGA screen, but I thing we can do smth better.

Can we make a team of donators (and testers both) and invite any cooker that will make a GREAT rom for everyone????

example:

If 50 users donate 20$ each = 1000$ = a good motive for cookers.

The name of the rom would be UCP (Universal Conspiracy Project) + the name of the cooker/team.

I 'm waiting your opinion and ........members:)

Up the UNIVERSAL
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] rdosti:
1) It wouldn't be good, the members would be put on randsom..cookers could then take advantage to mint money. I am a cooker and I can tell you that I wouldnt suggest it though I'm sure no one minds "free money".

2) if you want a great rom..contact a cooker and offer to pay them directly (you'll get through cheaper) - I'm honestly saying this, because this sort of thing happened (Ransom) for the Athena Project..no names or targets, but everything revolved around money.

3) You could go with that if you really want to though...but if flashing is the issue you could stick to a single rom and just wait...the time frame waiting on one cooker (eg. Tomal since you use his roms alot), and let him cook at his pace. If there are multiple cookers together (cartel) it will take much longer (with internal issues as well). Refer to the Athena Project....

Just my opinion since I saw alot of stuff happen on other projects...which wouldn't mind repeating here as well if we "PAID". I know its more like a contribution but once you make it clear you're going to pay or "offer money" for development...the idea of a community like xda begins to break and mess up...thats only going to make cookers and others expect to be paid for releases - if not the Universal forum the entire board and all the threads here...Cookers outside universal will follow a similar trend...the reason I started cooking was not to bother people with too many flashses but rather to design new roms and cook new things and offer to the community...

We're already paying Microsoft ( & HTC) a great deal....

I love the idea of working together on a project..but when you add money...though for the BEST INTENTIONS...they cause lots of problems..

Best Regards,
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] beast0898:
No Rom Bountys

I have to agree.

This is not the place to offer money for cooking.

Developers are here because they enjoy what they do, and enjoy sharing it with the community. Donations are fine, but offering to pay for Dev time will cause so many problems.

The main issue, and one of the reasons I have been so quiet with Rom Development for so long is that there are many users on this forum now, who seem to think they have a right to demand things from a Developer, and go as far as flaming a Developers work.

Never forget what this site was created for, for like minded "Developers" to get together to work on reverse engineering the software and improving the use, functionality and features of their devices.

There are far too many users here, who can not spend a bit of their own time reading up on the information provided (free of charge) that gives them greater knowledge and understanding of their device, it's functions and how to use the software available here.

Unfortunately the site has become full of demanding people who want a perfect Rom, exactly the way they think it should be done, and so they demand and criticise the Developers, bugging them in their threads and requesting time and time again, functionality that is not important to the particular Developer that they are targeting. This only leads to one thing, the Developers gets annoyed, loses interest and moves on to another forum or stops Developing altogether.

Feedback from users is great on the work that we do, the site would be useless without user feedback, but all said and done, we are all here to better our knowledge and help others resolve their problems.

We do not provide a software customisation and "help me un brick my device, because I can't be assed to read the Wiki" service.

All in all if you wish to have a Rom customised to your own needs and are willing to pay for it, them PM one of the senior Developers who's been around for a while and ask politely if they would be interested in doing so for you. I doubt you would get much response though as most of us do it for the community, not the individual.

There are plenty of people who sell roms on Ebay, perhaps you could ask them too. (although most of what they sell has been hijacked from here)

All the Developers here, share ideas and information on bugfixes, tweaks and porting issues, that's the idea of the community.

Rant over.

Cheers,

Beasty:(
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] youmeus:
I also agree it is a bad idea to let the 'money' element come into the community. I have personally seen devs and testers get burned because things went sore cause of 'immature testers/users' or 'deva-devs' who think they are the best and don't open up to the idea of sharing for the common good.

At the end of the day it really boils done to what motivates a person to do what they do. Allow me to be the first to say that this board is one of the best on the WEB...I consider it one of my virtual homes because I have made a few friends alone the way and learned a lot of crap too :)

I donate because I want to help, that's my way of saying to the community I appreciate all the 'love' and keep up the good work. Also, because it is my 'home' I want to see it improve. I have also engaged a few 'devs' direct when I wanted a particular cab built or a rom tweaked...so maybe you can do that (but of course manners maketh the man) however you need to show respect and not come off as a jerk :)

Cheers...

Youmeus
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] orb3000:
Agree!

Hi

I´m just a simple user, but since I got to this fantastic forum I´ve tried to READ, LEARN & RESPECT others people hard work for the UNI´s.

I think ROM devs have a lot of patience on all of us that only demmand things from them, if in some point they get tired of all of us, this forum and our UNI´s would be death.

I kindly ask all normal and simple users as me to respect Devs not asking so many things but yes contributing with feedback to their important work.

Let´s keep moving forwards and with good energy!

Best to all

Gracias
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] iamwin:
i don't agree with that idea of paying the cookers. it is because i believe they cook out of their passion to share and to improve themselves, not to earn a living.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] arxxx:
money cant buy their hard works........
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] alfa2005:
hmm, i don't believe if the cookers are motivated by money

i just believe that they are motivated by fun and sharing with others

money they got does not enough for their hard works and their knowledge has been sharing

honestly, i want make donation for them, for their fun shared for me

but, i never make donation for them, because i don't have any paypal account to make it possible

and, to appreciate what they have done

i never think that one ROM is better than the others, no ROM is best

because it has been developed by their fun and knowledge, to be shared to others

and, hey, sorry

if you don't like what they've done, just leave this forum

just take it or leave it, easy
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] makiss78:
hey that was just my opinion, I didn't say smth about our cookers, and I 'm thankfull for their hard work.

I have more than 3 different ppc's (UNI,WIZARD,HIMA and htc3600) and I can make a comparison to htc's roms that is good working or not. BUT THIS IS JUST MY OPINION. The thought of my post is just for a competition of cookers and the money is an award for their work (and maybe a try from other device's cooker/developers). Maybe it's right, maybe it's wrong.

Everyone have to say their thoughts without shouting and without offend ANYONE. Thats Democracy.

It's my decision If I leave or not this forum.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] iamwin:
i think that's the point of many of us here. There is no room for COMPETITION here. this site is built for each one of us to HELP each other, the developers/cookers learn from the feedbacks, the end-users benefit from the output of the cookers. if you want it to be like a CONTEST, cookers themselves will not share their ideas to other cookers. They will not help other developers since only one cooker will win in your "competition"...

i bought the Uni for profess. work -- but feel like a beta tester

hallo michalis031,

maybe good idea. I bought the Uni to earn money -- intended to help me to become more efficient.

Result?

- System (too) often hangs or reboots (no error messages!)

- active sync does not work properly (sometimes o.k., minutes later errors )

- callers often only hear my 30s-answering machine -- slow respond to incoming calls (!!)

... only to mention the most annoying subjects...

Who has better ideas to make this great little machine a real professional one?? I am ready to pay for excellent work -- and this is the only thing i expect to get.

Very true.... right on the mark.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] munkey_bwy:
I have to agree with the majority on here, as a tinkerer I find that the forum is very expansive to those that are willing to read and not just post "help me unbrick my uni" posts.

If I had the techincal skills and time I would love to start cooking, but most of all I would do this for the good of the forum and not to line my own pockets. I hope I am right in asuming that the majority of cookers are profesional coders in another line of work and do this for the fun of the chalenge, this is very admirable.

Also the lack of finacial incentives and deadlines allows the dev's the chance to tweak and bug fix to the level that they wish and not just to get by with what they can do in the time space.

In reply to the post "I bought mine for business", I would say that you made a mistake to consider unlecking and adding new roms if you were to rely on the uni to help you earn money. I also got my 2 uni's for business, one is a test bed of software from this forum and my main phone / pda, the other is left as OEM just to be sure I have a totally working Uni.

Please dont push the dev's into not enjoying what they do best. Keep ROM's free, but if you wish to pay just give them a donation. Im sure they would thank you for it.

Dave.

This TWRP was built for P580, I cannot ensure that it works on other variants, but it should work on P585, please test it and tell me.

Your warranty is now void and all that..

This TWRP is only compatible with oreo, due to some mess Sammy did with the bootloader, it works flawlessly on oreo roms, stock and custom!
