Alright, so long story short I'm running JW's sprint21a software version after following the guides on Frankensteining and rooting the V30. Ever since August 16th I've been getting update messages to update to the newest version from sprint. Sadly, this update isn't available as a zip anywhere to flash via TWRP like I did when I converted from US998 after rooting to LS998 to restore LTE and the sprint bands.
I've been reading a bit and asking question in a few other threads and it would seem the latest US998 version is 20d and coincided with the new LS update as well. I'm wondering if it'd be feasible to flash 20d via TWRP so I can have the newest security update, then flash the sprint modems by themselves from JW's 21a file or not. I'm just wondering how feasible this would be. I'm not entirely sure if flashing a modem from a different (and older) version of the software would work with the newer and different one or not.
If it is feasible, my next question is how I would go about flashing just the modem files. I cracked JW's zip file open and I can see theres a modem.bin file in there. I'm wondering if I could wipe everything else in the zip out and leave that, then flash 20d via TWRP, then the modified zip with only the modem, followed by root,no-verity, and rctd...
Will this idea work, or am I missing something vital either in the procedure or is the idea itself not possible? Any thoughts or feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Sure you can

I don't find that "pixteria" one in the play store. The link seems broken. I do see the 2nd one, which is free and I installed it.
These don't have anything to do with substratum, right? I've played around with substratum some but have run into a situation where everything goes black and you can't navigate the screen anymore so I have to revert with TWRP. I think it has to do with themeing SystemUI but I'm not sure. I know that substratum has an addon that you can use if you don't have root but it requires hooking up to a computer. As I have root, I was thinking I should be able to use substratum without that addon and without hooking up to a computer. Anyway, I haven't had great luck with it so far.
It looks like this "G7 Black Theme for LG V30 & G6 Oreo" from WSTeams uses the native theming engine of LG V30 instead. I see that it themed the keyboard as well. NICE!! THANKS FOR THIS!!

What modem image did you flash? For another LG V30/V30+ variant?
Strange your software version now says US998 21A with May 2018 security patch. That SHOULD BE 20A. There's no such thing as US998 21A...
You ONLY flashed modem image using the older TWRP?

maybe main firmware differs from used system image. something got mixed up, jep. but to be honest, i can't fully imagine what happened there, really it's modem.image flashing to system. fw version is stored in modem image too, but.. i don't know

first install new recovery 3.2.3-6a, then reboot to recovery and wipe cache. a system.img fitting your current main firmware should fix this. format system and flash the system image. the appropriate (or wished) modem can then be flashed via image flashing function to modem partition.
sry, was busy the last few days will not get really better because of christmas, bdays, broken car lol... but every two to three days i'm looking in xda there'll be a little update to twrp too, because some op partitions are available now. there's just an op image flashing function added (and some gatekeeper files for lockscreen settings tests), could be possible that this comes this weekend.

In case anyone has a temporary lapse of brain functioning like I did and gets confused because it seems this isn't working, it is important to remember that you'll need to install the Magisk Manager apk and Phh's Superuser (at least, those are the things I had to do after realizing I didn't pay attention to the fact that this is Magisk).

Okay, so I did the factory reset and now Google Services FC's and I cannot setup the phone. I get to the "Set Up Wifi" screen and cannot progress further. I'm thinking I need a factory image to restore the phone, now. I really borked this thing.
Has anyone else had any issues with Magisk refusing to install modules after flashing this? It acts like a module is being flashed but changes nothing. I'm wondering if it has to do with not having a functional recovery at the moment. I have been able to install Xposed using the Xposed installer and Xposed is working perfectly.

U can flash things in recovery now. You just can't decrypt data yet. So only you can flash from external SD card.

I was at 12 percent and the same thing happened to me lol. I'll just wait for the mirror.
Somehow, after 4 attempts at downloading, it worked and only took ~5 mins. everything appears to be in the zip file. I loaded the BK2 file (never got cell signal, and had a lot of strange things in settings) and am applying the update now. Hopefully this doesn't screw up anything. with the BK2 my settings showed custom for the status though, so not sure if I just screwed myself out of Knox stuff.

Looks like it's working, some things I noted:
I had a few strange apps in my service folder (BoA and some games)
Samsung connect was causing a bunch of force closures.
Even though I was on unlocked before this, I ended up on Verizon (my carrier).
Everything else seems normal, and had I done a wipe I'd probably be in even better shape. Might to a whole tomorrow.

I can probably make this work to flash with TWRP, but you'll need to have your system, oem and boot.img original stock before flashing. If anyone is willing to test it for me, I will modify the ota zip when I have a chance. I have the Boost XT1766 so I can't test it myself. Let me know if anyone is willing to test it because if not, I won't waste my time modifying the ota.

I'm willing to try it. I'm a little confused about the requirements you mentioned though. I'm on stock but with a few modifications I've made here and there. Would I need to uninstall Magisk?

If you look inside the ota zip, there are patches for the boot.img, system.img, oem.img, modem.img, etc. If you don't have the original stock versions of these it may fail to install properly and will likely cause problems. Hence the reason for the asserts in the OTA zip to check for the proper unmodified versions of these. If I had the XT1775 I would just flash stock firmware and update officially then pull the imgs, make an updated stock ROM with the system and boot, and make an make a twrp flashable ota zip with the other modem, fsg and oem.imgs. So, you basically have to do the same as if you were going to update officially minus reflashing stock recovery. You almost might as well just flash your latest stock firmware and take the ota update, then pull the modem, fsg and oem and make a system and boot backup with twrp which I can make an updated ROM and twrp flashable ota for others to update without that hassle. Your choice. I asked another user to provide me with a backup after they updated, but they had to go somewhere for a few days and said they would when they returned. I could give you a stock ROM flashable so you don't have to flash firmware with fastboot. I already have one made, I just haven't uploaded and posted it yet.

If I had the XT1775 I would just flash stock firmware and update officially then pull the imgs, make an updated stock ROM with the system and boot, and make an make a twrp flashable ota zip with the other modem, fsg and oem.imgs. So, you basically have to do the same as if you were going to update officially minus reflashing stock recovery. You almost might as well just flash your latest stock firmware and take the ota update, then pull the modem, fsg and oem and make a system and boot backup with twrp which I can make an updated ROM and twrp flashable ota for others to update without that hassle. Your choice. I asked another user to provide me with a backup after they updated, but they had to go somewhere for a few days and said they would when they returned. I could give you a stock ROM flashable so you don't have to flash firmware with fastboot. I already have one made, I just haven't uploaded and posted it yet.

I'll have to modify the ota zip for you first so you can flash it after the stock ROM. As soon as I have a chance to, I'll upload that and the stock ROM zip for you. You didn't modify your oem partition at all did you? If so, I'll give you a flashable oem zip to restore that back the way it was also. Just make sure you have stock firmware ready to flash with fastboot in case something doesn't go right. Most of the ota is modem related, no bootloader patches, so it should work fine and hard bricking shouldn't be a concern.

I did not modify the oem partition. I've just made small changes like changed the boot animation, splash screen and some other things like that. Nothing major. have attempted to make a deodex version with a couple of different kitchens to make some other changes but haven't had enough time to really get into anything.

I'm uploading the ROM now. I just got done modifying the ota zip and I'll give you links as soon as they're done uploading. I made a deodexed Sprint variant version. Was planning on deodexing the retail version also. I may as well wait for the newer version though. The trick is, you need to deodexed the oem apps and framework also or it won't boot.

Thanks. I'm in town right now. I'll check when I get home and flash if its ready. If all goes well, you want me to send you a twrp backup of boot and system only right?

Finally got it
ROM: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569959248
OTA:
So, here's what I want you to do.
1. Make a backup before you do anything.
2. Flash a Magisk uninstaller.
3. Flash the ROM. (if it should fail to flash, please get a recovery log so I can see exactly what failed.)
4. Flash the OTA zip. (again, if it should fail to flash, please get a recovery log so I can see exactly what failed.)
5. If everything flashes ok, reboot recovery to make sure you don't lose twrp.
6. Make a system backup.
7. Use fastboot to pull the boot.img, modem.img, fsg.mbn, and the oem.img.
Edit: actually, if you could pull everything you see in a stock firmware package and pull them so they have the same name and file extension, that would be great.
I'll be working until about 8 tonight. (3.5.18) I'll work on it tonight and let you know what happens.
Edit: I managed to get the "Blur_Version.26.11.27.owens.retail.en.US--XT1775_TWRP_flashable" down loaded but the other was taking too long and failed a couple of times. I will try again when I can.
so glad you guys are working on this My daughter and her moms xt1775 just popped the update message and im not "allowed" to work on them too often so i cant experiment with you. So a twrp flashable update would be great if i dont have to unroot reroot stock.img etc etc it will be a painless (for me) update.
A Sort-of Related Question
I installed the update by using RSD Lite to go back to stock, taking the update as an OTA, then reflashing TWRP and Magisk. All was fine, until I tried to restore a back up. Which failed, unable to mount System. Thereafter, all reboots take me to Bootloader. I can't use RSD Lite again, as I have updated to a later version. (Believe me, I have tried multiple times!) I tried flashing the two zips, but I fail at the OTA. I was able to load Lineage, which works, but still reboots to Bootloader, then to the ROm.
I have tried fastboot oem fb_mode_clear via both ADB and TWRP Terminal but that fails as well.
Any thoughts on clearing this?
NEVER MIND - Tried a different PC and the mode clear command worked! Whew! The good news is that is something that might be worth trying if you get stuck.

Of course, sent to you via PM.
I don't think that it is a quality of your zip, I think it is related to my earlier attempt at installing the OTA itself.
Hello friends:
seeking help with a soft brick V30+
Story: I've been running stock VS996 20i on a converted LS998. Now TWRP gets stuck on splash screen(TWRP-3.2.3-7-IntSD.img) after trying to dirty flash VS996_20j on an encrypted device. Mistake??? I think so, cause now phone wont boot to OS or to Recovery.
In download mode connected to LGUP+V30DLL_PATCHED; phone shows the VS996 20j.
Question: How do I get recovery back? Can it be done via download mode? Do I need to downgrade back to Nougat or can I reflash recovery from LGUP?
Thanks all!!!
20j TWRP has been having some issues. Take a look at that thread for help on how to get it back. You may just have to KDZ back to a working version. I hear the KDZ works fine, just the TWRP is failing. It's a work in progress still.
When I got stuck with 20j only way out was to lgup us998 N then to us998 O.. That was with DL partition tho.

So you basically Frankenstein'ed again, but your bootloader was already unlocked.
I'm sorry but has no one tried flashing 20i again................... Because that literally worked dozens of times for all the debugging I did for john.

The first guy said he lost TWRP, so he couldn't flash the 20i zip again. And flashing full KDZ 20i in LGUP would just give stock VS996 with no fastboot flash commands to reinstall TWRP. Unless I'm misunderstanding your suggestion.

The zip wouldn't have gotten rid of twrp. It does nothing to the recovery partition. It just doesn't work that way.

Let me add a quick query here or start new thread, idk. Us998, messed up recovery, laptop says unauthorized device in adb. No boot either, what are my options?
Been out-of-town for a bit, so just wanted to thank everyone who contributed remarks.
As described before...after the dirty flash of 20j, phone could/would not boot back into recovery. It either boot-looped or got stuck on the splash screen. So I decided the easiest way to get working was to use LGUP to downgrade back to N. Essentially, repeating the Frankenstein process. Now I'm back to 20i again.
I'm just wondering if it was the encryption which caused the issue to begin with. Perhaps there is a conflict with dirty flashing ROMs on an encrypted OS?
IIRC, flashing over encrypted Data partition almost always ends up with bootloops, no boot or in worst cases a brick. But then that's in twrp. I don't think lgup flashing does that since it repartitions everything if you go with DL..
Hello guys my bootloader is already unlocked I just wanted to know can I root without having to revert back to version 10d.

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.
