I'm not getting traction in other threads, but could use some help so I made a new thread for visibility.
Long story short is I rooted my us998 V30 and everything seemed well, but ran into some app issues so I needed to reload my backup to correct them. Again, seemed to go okay. ...but ever since I've run into small issues like "system isn't RW" and "structure needs cleaning" as well as some apps not working properly. I even tried installing the custom WETA rom only to be fooled into thinking it worked, but couldn't find anything "WETA" about my phone once it booted again.
Anyway... what I want is to nuke this and start from scratch, so... how can I restore my phone to full factory install so I can begin again?
I've downloaded the US99810c_03_1216.kdz
... but I'm not sure what to do with it. I seemingly need LGUP or LG Flash tool, but can't seem to find the latest downloads for either and when I google them most places seem like virus ridden locals that I should avoid.
Once the phone is restored.... I should be able to follow the rooting guide again (hopefully without the structure needs cleaning issue)
Thanks for any help... online right now and looking to get this sorted over the next hour... really appreciate any help.

The download links posted in post #1 of this thread seem to work.
That post also has instructions on how to use those tools. There's three different options. You had read some of the most recent comments to see what people did.

Not sure why it would not work for you, but options 2 and 3 don't use Uppercut. Try those?
@padmanek, any ideas?

I can do "upgrade" just fine. I'll try a factory restore and see if refurbish works after that.
edit, didn't help... can't "refurbish" but can still "upgrade".

I'm not sure, it appears to reinstall the ROM... but all my installed apps and software were intact. (well, until I factory reset anyway, lol)
Either way it seems to have corrected my issues with "System isn't RW" and "structure needs cleaning" as I was finally able to cleanly "re-root" per the guide here:

Now... How do I properly install WETA? lol

Hey there guys, so I did as I'm sure many of you do out of habit and checked for an update this morning. Low and behold with zero announcement Oreo is here!!! I couldn't be happier, but am I the only one who noticed it's dated for April 24th?? What're your guys thoughts on that? Did lg hold out on us, or maybe the carrier?
So this is Christmas...

It shouldn't but backup just in case
It's always better to do a factory reset after a change in Android version, eg. 7.0 to 8.0, so would recommend back up now.. When you change to Oreo, reset afterwards., then restore.

The KDZ will work regardless of your carrier, so long as your device is an H873.
I flashed it on my Koodo H873 last night and it works perfectly. Just be sure to check off upgrade in LGUP so you don't lose any of your data. Open LGUP using Uppercut.
As long as you don't unplug your phone during the upgrade, you will not brick.

Of course!
Assuming you've downloaded the KDZ, the only other steps are getting LGUP and Uppercut. Just google them, you should be able to find them.
Install LGUP (Make sure it is version 1.14) and run Uppercut. It may trigger a virus warning, so you should disable your antivirus temporarily. It is not a virus.
Plug your USB cable into your computer WITHOUT the phone plugged in.
Shut off your device and plug it in while holding the volume up button. It will enter download mode.
Finally, in the LGUP interface, it should show your device model on Standby. Check off "Upgrade" if you do not want to lose your data, or "Refurbish" if you want to factory reset it. In the list at the bottom, select "BIN" and click on the three dot button. It will prompt you to choose your KDZ.
Assuming you did everything right, click on Start. DO NOT TOUCH YOUR PHONE WHILE IT IS UPDATING. When the progress bar in LGUP reaches 100% and your phone enters the "Android is Upgrading" screen, you may unplug your device and wait for it to boot.
Voila, you have Oreo! Please PM me if anything goes wrong.
In the future, please look for an existing thread for flashing instructions. I will make an exception here because you are new to flashing, and I know it is confusing.
Nothing to see here. *jedi wave* Move along.

Will do that now.
I think I screwed up and bricked my phone... I had recently updated to 20g and was having some issues with some things (I didnt wipe some data when I did the update). So I then tried to wipe some data (from twrp/recovery) and probably ended up wiping more than I should have. My phone now seems to not want to startup. It just sits with the LG V30ThinQ logo on the screen (I had unlocked my US998 phone and have the latest - 20g .kdz on it). I can get into fastboot mode, but if I run adb devices it will give me a blank list of devices. Though it will act like its connected (computer gives a tone like a device is plugged in). lgup doesnt indicate anything is ever connected either. It seems to let me flash something to recovery, so I tried - Fastboot flash recovery with the latest twrp image and it seemed to work.
Trying the button dance on multiple occasions I cant seem to get into recovery. It will send me to factory data reset. And I have said yes a few times, but it still wont fully boot... and trying to get into recovery doesnt seem to do anything.
I tried reflashing (through fastboot) some of the images (first time system, 2nd time boot) directly out of the 20g kdz file and they seemed to flash even though it never shows any devices... I tried entering recovery and just got back to being able to do a factory data reset (tired again). And it still doesnt get past the LG V30ThinQ logo screen (waited like 10 minutes).
Help?
If you're able to get into Download mode, reflash KDZ.

Thanks for the quick response Chazz. I havent done this before. So I am guessing I use uppercut to flash? Am I good to flash 20G since my bootloader is already unlocked or should I go back to an older version? I can get into download mode and uppercut recognizes the device etc...

Uppercut doesn't work once you're on Oreo. Uninstall it, you'll never use it again.
Use the Dev Patched LGUP attached to post #1 of the US998 KDZ thread.

What US998 firmware are you trying to flash? Why aren't you asking this question in the Frankenstein thread? Did you even read those instructions?
What do you mean "when the process was done"? There's four or five steps where you flash TWO different US998 firmware, with Master Reset in between. How far did you get?

4. I mean when the program was done flashing the KDZ the first time

You can't root T-MOBILE H932 any other way than the Root H932 Guide @runningnak3dwrote.
How did your flash back to stock? Did you use LGUP and KDZ? Or did you use TWRP and TWRP-flashable zip?
If you used LGUP and KDZ, yes you wiped out TWRP custom recovery and root.

I am guessing you missed this part somehow:
After flashing this, you MUST flash Magisk again or you will lose TWRP and root -- and your data will be encrypted, and have to use lafsploit all over again.

Well, just to be clear, you must flash back to 10d now. The exploit is in the combination of 10d firmware and the H933 10h laf. I looked at many different combinations, and some are close, but none (that I could find -- I did give up once I found a working combo) had everything needed for this to work.

If you want to root, the directions are VERY easy to follow and CLEAR.
If you have any questions, this is not where you should be asking. Also to expand on this, it seems maybe you should not do it since you are having a few issues that you should not be having.
