Comprehensive ADB guide? - LG V30 Questions & Answers

Is there one? I don't want to do anything too crazy, I just want to use the ADB to update my LG V30 since it's not updating properly.

You don't need ADB to update your phone. You just need patched LGUP.
How would you update with ADB?
What variant do you have?

See the LGUP files attached to post #1, and the explanation:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/development/us998-lg-v30-us998-us99820a040330-kdz-t3786337
What variant do you have? If the AT&T H931, it doesn't have a publicly released KDZ, so you would have to convert it to something like US998 or AS998.
If another variant, there's compatible Oreo KDZ for most. What do you have?

There's already plenty of threads discussing the rollout of Oreo updates... Why not look before starting a new thread?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3761507
But the answer is no. If it were, a KDZ would be posted down in development.

Hello do you know why LG bridge can not verify the software version of my LG V30 H930? the drivers are correctly installed, my PC even if old has the version of Windows 7 and Media player is properly updated. thank you all
Belgium - Proximus
Did you try to update the version of LG Bridge itself already? My version is 1.2.42
There is H93020D update available. It's 2.94GB and the download speed its really slow... Approx. 49 minutes left :/

Updates can vary from country to country or they could only appear to specific users at first to not colapse the servers.
If there is a problem referred to phone verification could be due to the servers or could be some problem with your computer. You can try to unistall LG Bridge, drivers and temporal files to make sure of that.

You have to wait for new recovery. TWRP needs Oreo kernel:
SGCMarkus said:
You both need a new Recovery image, had the same problem.
Will post mine tomorrow (after i made it smaller, as it contains the stock kernel + exfat driver atm, lot of useless stuff for twrp lol)
The oreo firmware seems to be rather picky, and doesnt wanna bit a nougat kernel (which our twrp is based on) [emoji848]

LGV30 Plus Oreo and S/N question

Hi, newbie here so please bear with me. I have bought a LGV30 plus (H930DS) via ebay. I know its not available here in the UK and isn't supported via local warranties etc. My 2 questions are:
1) Why isn't there a S/N - serial number, displayed in the about phone section of the phone ? its just blank! although both IMEI numbers are available.
2) I still haven't got Oreo, is this because its a HK version of the phone and it wont be pushed out to the UK (OTA) ? I've tried the LG Bridge app and it fails on several reasons (cant see phone etc)
Thanks in advance

Use LGUP to update to Oreo. HK Oreo and other H930 Oreo are available.

No, you didn't. You used LG Bridge.
LGUP won't give you any such message.
I said to use LGUP -- to manually update it with KDZ available here in the forum.
I'm telling you how to fix your problem.
Here's the HK Oreo KDZ:

https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/development/h930ds-lg-v30-hong-kong-hh93020ds-t3782935
Use LGUP, attached to this thread below. You can also use the H930DS OREO KDZ in that thread if you want or the HK Oreo KDZ above.

No, doesn't matter. All H930DS have the same bands.
You could even flash the European H930 Oreo KDZ, and it would still work. It would keep your same H930DS modem bands, dual SIM functionality, but you would have Oreo.
Many have done it.

No, I do not know. It should be on your retail box, however.
---------- Post added at 07:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 AM ----------
NOTE: If you use "upgrade", all your data stays, all apps stay, all pictures stay.
But if you use "refurbish" it does wipe the phone.
You probably want upgrade.

Go into download mode BEFORE opening the patched LGUP.
If a desktop, best to use a port on the back of the computer (one attached directly to the motherboard).
Try different cable.
Try different computer.
Make sure LGUP is installed in the right folder (LG Electronics).
Still no joy, never mind I'll wait for the ota. Thanks for your help though :good:
I'm not rooted btw, does that matter?

No, this actually would be the first step to get root of you wanted that. You need to be on Oreo with fastboot flash commands.
For the SN part, I had same experience on my previous Galaxy S7, which was from eBay.
Mine was seller refurb, I forgot the seller name but it was Q something.
The SN was 00000000 for that phone.
I used it without any problem, but feels not great.
Yours might be the same thing, they did something on your phone.

V30+ US998 Won't Update to Oreo

Greeting All,
I just bought a "Refurbished" LG V30+ from fleabay and I'm having some issues... It will not update to Oreo.
Below are details:
The phone is factory reset
It has Android 7.1.2
When I try to update it says it is the latest version
The software version is US99810d
The hardware is LG-US998
(I'm on T-mobile)
I tried to use LG Bridge and it does connect (I did a back-up)
HOWEVER, when I click on Software Update I get "Cannot check the software version. Try again"
If I click on "Update error recovery" I get "Your phone information cannot be checked. Contact LG..."
Any ideas??? OR should I send it back???
THANKS

See the US998 Oreo KDZ (plural) in Development section and update with one of those. If you care about bootloader unlock and root, don't update to 20D first. Use 20A or 20B, unlock bootloader then update to 20D.
Instructions are in post #1 of the thread.

1) My three "original" (genuine) US998 bought from B&H Photo were only recognized as having older software one time by LG Bridge. All the other times I had to update them manually with the dev patched LGUP and full image KDZ.
2) It's entirely possible it's not an an "original" US998, but is a converted LS998. Ever since we discovered Frankenstein, so have eBay sellers. Carrier unlocked US998 is more valuable, versatile.
3) Full image KDZ is better than partial image OTA. However, LG Bridge should work to do that, but apparently doesn't.
ChazzMatt.... THANKS!!!
I followed your directions... used LGUP/Uppercut and it worked perfectly!!!!
I'm now on US99820b.
I would like to root my phone (so I can delete some bloat and use advanced features in Tasker).
And then upgrade to US99820d using the "Upgrade" button on LGUP/Uppercut. (I think this correct??)
Could you point me the right direction (I'm a noob with this stuff) to root the phone.
I don't plan of installing any custom ROMs so I don't think I will need TWRP??? Or to unlock the bootloader???
Thanks again for all your help!!!!

Now that you are actually on Oreo, future updates will use dev patched LGUP instead of Uppercut. Uppercut won't work on Oreo.
You need bootloader unlock and TWRP to root.
See the WTF bootloader unlock and root thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/how-to/wtf-lg-v30-t3790500
After that, you can update to 20D.

The link you provided goes to your thread in which the old 20b kdz is for H930 (according to android file host website). Yet the OP has US998.
Is it still ok for people like the OP who have US998 to update to H930 20b KDZ and then unlock bootloader or should we stick with kdz for the US998 only?

No, it doesn't. You're confused about something. The link you quoted in your post goes to all the US998 KDZ thread.
In that thread, all the links go to to specific US998 KDZ -- 20A, 20B, and 20D.
I can't help how Android Host Files categorizes stuff. My folder is simply "V30" -- and inside that I have over a dozen US998, Hong Kong H930DS, Canadian H933, European H930 KDZ. Don't overthink it. If the file name says US998 it's US998.
Here's a screenshot of my Android Host Files folders. All my V30 stuff is inside the V30 folder, period.. If Android Host Files then categorizes that as H930 -- for whatever reason, that's not me and I have no control over that.

See my screenshot. I have v30 folder, a generic Android folder, a Moto Maxx folder. All my V30 KDZ are inside my V30 folder. I do not have any folders or sub-folders called H930. I have an H930 KDZ with a dozen other KDZ inside my V30 folder.
Here's all my V30 KDZ listings:
https://androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=241704
I think Android Host Files calls ALL V30 "H930". I saw another person question another developer about this, "Is it safe to flash because it's in the H930 folder?" I want to yell, Look at the KDZ title!" Of course it's safe.

Questions on Frankenstein phone on US99820b
Hi ChazzMatt,
I also do have a few newbie questions on the Frankenstein phone.
Thanks to you great tutorial I upgraded from AT&T H931 successfully to the US998 (FW: US99820b).
I am not interested in bootloader unlock or rooting the device.
1. Why does the phone not upgrade to US99820d via OTA or LG Bridge? Any way to turn that on?
2. How do I best upgrade to US99820d? Using the Upgrade function in the modified LGUP and your 20d KDZ file?
Would that require a total reset of the phone with all my personal data?
3. Does that also apply to Security Updates? Do they have to be done manually through 20x KDZ updates?
Thanks,
Scusa

Simple "upgrade" using LGUP will update to newer KDZ while keeping data. (This is only if you do not have TWRP.) Make sure you choose "UPGRADE", and not any other option. By the way, 20E is the latest posted in the US998 KDZ thread.
Takes 5 minutes, you keep all your settings and data.

I also have a supposed US998 from ebay and would like to know why it will not update. Does LG block updates to phones if they have been cross-flashed to a different version (if that's what happened)? Are these sellers knowingly selling phones that cannot be updated normally?
Thanks!

I have the exact same situation, V30+ from eBay and no OTAs - had to flash manually. For what I paid for this hardware I'm more than willing to live with the minor inconvenience of having to download a KDZ and flash it for updates, but I would also much prefer it if I could get the OTAs. I'm guessing it has to do with it being Frankensteined and LG only pushing OTAs to it for the original ROM, which it is no longer running...but I would love to know if anyone has a more formal understanding of this issue.

I have three original US998 V30/V30+ and NONE have gotten OTA except one time with Nougat. Since then I've had to manually update via LGUP.
Last weekend, I just manually updated my wife from 20A to 20E via Dev Patched LGUP. Bootloader is still locked on hers, came back from LG with new display a couple of months ago. B&H Photo US998 V30.
I actually prefer full image KDZ to partial image OTA. And while it's true OTA is probably based on IMEI, that doesn't explain why I'm not being offered OTA, at least with hers which has not been modified in any way.
holy crap. I've been away from xda (or flashing phones) for too long!
I just bought v30+ us998 on ebay and it seems like LS998 convert. so in order to unlock bootloader, I have to flash to 20a or b first? Or can I do it now (7.1.2) and update to latest one 20e?
what's good apps these days for rooted phones?

Read WTF INSTRUCTIONS.
For US998 yes, you need early Oreo 20A or 20B to unlock bootloader, install TWRP -- then you can update to US998 20E by flashing 20E "ROM" (stock firmware KDZ in TWRP-FLASHABLE zip file)
@ChazzMatt,
First, thanks for all your help. After I noticed my LG V30+ was not receiving updates, I was able to update the software to US99820b following your instructions. However, I still have one point I am not clear about.
Correct if I am wrong but, from what I understood, you recommend to update to 20a or b in case I am planning to root my device (since rooting after updating to 20d would not work). In case I am not planning to root, Can I use the same process to, using LGUP, to update straight to 20d?
Is there any specific reason why I'd want to root my device before upgrading to 20d?
Thanks again,
DC

How can I OTA system.

Excuse me. I bought a old V30 and I search IMEI know the phone type is AS998. Then I unlocked bootloader and flash US998 20a. In LG Bridge prompt me can update to 20b. But in phone OTA had nothing. Who can teach me how to OTA on phone. I won't want to use LG Bridge.

Then use dev patched LGUP.
You can't use OTA with TWRP.

Because you've changed to another variant you won't receive inferior partial image OTA update, you have to flash superior full image KDZ.
Easy. Takes 5 minutes. Upgrade option via LGUP. You keep all your data and settings.

This is not really the right place to ask this question, so the thread will be moved by a mod. Q&A Section is better. (EDIT: Mod just moved it. Thank you!)
To update AS998, see Frankenstein instructions. Convert to US998, then update to latest Oreo US998.
I also already answered you in Frankenstein thread yesterday:

You keep saying that in several non-relevant thread... but do you mean stock LG Pie or Linage-based custom ROM Pie? Stock firmware Pie is still being rolled out.
(I'm still on rooted Oreo firmware myself.)
If you want Lineage custom ROMs then you need to bootloader unlock and root, and flash custom ROMs. See WTF INSTRUCTIONS for that.
If you want just stock firmware Pie update, then convert to latest US998 Oreo and wait for US998 Pie. See Frankenstein instructions.
Or what I've done -- bootloader unlock, install TWRP, root, THEN update to latest Oreo US998.

What AS998 firmware are you on right now? Nougat, like 10d or early Oreo like 20a?
Yes, you can convert regional carrier AS998 to US988, using the Frankenstein instructions.
READ them carefully. Follow them carefully.
The only caveat is some AS998 were actually former LS998 converted by eBay dealers, using Octopus box to carrier unlock the Sprint LS998. In at least one instance, an AS998 user could NOT successfully Frankenstein to US998 -- due to something the Octopus box "broke".

Then follow the Frankenstein instructions to convert to US998.
US998 Nougat
Master Reset
US998 Oreo. Go to 20h directly if you don't care about bootloader unlock and root. Or go to US998 20a temporarily, use WTF instructions to bootloader unlock, then go to US998 20h.
Wait for US998 Pie.
I've answered you several times. There's no alternate answers. You just have to go do it.

They are already there. I wouldn't have said I provided them if they weren't there.
9 screenshots already attached to the Frankenstein instructions post. They've been there since April 2018.
You need to go read the Instructions and look at them.

I updated my AS998 Oreo to US998 Pie
I followed Frankenstein instructions and here is how it went:
1. Flashed (PARTITION DL) NOUGAT US998 but after connecting to LGUP again it still showed AS998 and UPGRADE to Oreo US998 was not allowed.
2. Flashed (PARTITION DL) Oreo US998 and it worked.
3. Flashed (UPGRADE) Pie downloaded from here.
