I've seen there is a H930 kernel and ROM but I wonder if this works also on the dual sim variant. Many thanks!
I don't think there is any.
Compatible? Probably any H930 rom, as they share the same kernel sources, but you cant unlock your bootloader... so no way of flashing it :/

UPDATE: We now have bootloader unlock and root, and now we have ROMs for the H930DS.
Meanwhile the LG V30S forums are completely empty. These roms that are compressed down to around 500mbs don't even work for my LG V30S. Only a few stock based roms like 'TheoryofEverything' and BoomBox work for me.

Really the V30S is just another V30 variant. It should be here also. The only difference from the V30 is more RAM. And the only difference from the V30 to the V30+ is more storage.

Compressed down to ~500MB? You mean LOS, RR, AOSiP and DotOS? (all based on the same kernel/blobs/device tree btw)
Which V30S model you got? and can you provide some logs?
the S isnt so much different than the normal V30, just bit more ram and storage.... They even use the same kernel lol
Problems must be hidden probably somewhere in the blobs...
cant do anything without logs though.... as stock based roms work for you i suppose?

I have the unlocked LGV30S that is on B&H. Any time I would use any of those compressed mods, I'd load into the rom and then after a few minutes, the phone would bootloop from post boot to rebooting again until there's just a blank home screen. I thoroughly wipe all partitions and factory reset before every rom flash. The only roms I haven't had this issue with are the Boombox and TheoryofEverything roms(the much bigger roms). I can provide logs if you need so.

Are the SDs you use on file system FAT or EXT4? Trying to see if the Exfat on my SDs could perhaps be the culprit for rebootloops for compressed roms. I could use FAT, but then I'd be unable to transfer twrp backup files over 4GBs and my LGV30S doesn't even recognize EXT4 SDs. A notification immediately pops up post reboot saying "corrupted SD" with a prompt to format it.

I personally use NTFS. Idk if stock roms support that or not?
A freshly formatted exfat sdcard should also work though, as a freshly formatted exfat usb stick never got me into problems
(no, i dont really get that, why it behaves in such a strange way)
So... I need some guinea pigs..... i mean testers of course for the H930DS... i *might* have found a solution to why RIL didnt work, not sure yet though.
Need someone with the phone to try out.
(So much left to try out here actually... lol)

As far as I know all the AOSP/Lineage ROMs are currently compatible, as well as stock-based Boombox ROM.
Hi everyone, I've followed the WTF thread to unlock the bootloader on a V30 H933 (the Canadian version), but even after unlocking there's no fastboot support on the phone, only the US998 version seems to have it. Trouble is that Rogers, my local operator, only supports VoLTE and VoWiFi on their recognized devices - I tried having US998 running on my phone, calling their support and possibly getting some actual configuration I could put on the phone, but their response was "your phone is defective and needs to be replaced".
All that said, my goal here is to somehow install TWRP on this phone and root under the original ROM, so I can have the features I need from the network. So far, I've been pretty unsuccessful in this, so my plead would be: could anyone chime in to help me either
flash the minimal necessary over US998 to get H933 functionality/network information back as to reenable VoLTE and VoWiFi on my operator
come up with an update.zip or some other file I could use to flash a Magisk-patched boot.img
pack a full flashable ZIP image of the Canadian ROM (my last attempt at this left the phone in bootloop)
an alternative idea I haven't thought about that could help?
Ideally, at the end of the process, I'd like to have TWRP and Magisk installed on the phone, but I could settle for simply Magisk.
Once again, any help or pointers are more than welcome and appreciated.
I think you can extract a h933 kdz and flash individual partitions that do not have to do with recovery or the bootloader. You can probably use the dd command for it. I think the partitions you dont flash are anything with boot in it, abl and recovery. There may be a few more however.

I tried something similar, extracted a KDZ and put the necessary BIN files on a flashable ZIP I found around. All I achieved was bootlooping the device...
I have an H933 on Freedom Mobile, and running the stock FM firmware. The loss of VOWIFI (and VoLTE) are exactly what i thought would happen if I proceed with flashing to US998.
I think #1 is right; that you may be able to restore access to network specific functionality but it would depend on being able to isolate the specific required "patch".
With this in mind, take a look at this post from the WTF! Thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=76613814
That user flashed some files (modem binaries from the original device firmware I think) and was able to restore VOWIFI and VoLTE functionality on the Verizon network.

What menu is that from @cre4per? Have you had the opportunity to confirm staying on LTE while receiving a call?
That would be good news to hear VoLTE working on a Canadian network using a generic phone model (instead of proprietary stuff).

Looking at this this morning. I don't think that is an indication that you are connected to a VoLTE service; just that your device is ready to accept it if the right service becomes available. I have that switch turned on and the service menu even says the voice network is LTE too (see image below) but Freedom Mobile doesn't even offer VoLTE service so it isn't possible that I actually have VoLTE operational.
I would interpret the LTE provision switch as turning on or off the functionality in your device, not a connection authorization from the network. Sort of like turning on the HD calling option on your device; it allows the possibility but won't do anything unless the service provider has the capability and authorizes it on your connection.
If someone has VoLTE working, could you check the menu cited by @cre4per, then hit the options (3 dots) and in there, select IMS service status? It lools like this is where you *should* see if the network has connected you to their VoLTE service (see image below).
I don't know how to interpret the, "Voice Network: LTE" on the main menu screen.
Just check and switches to 3g on calls also when going into that ims menu says unavailable

As @Mad Medik mentioned, so far I don't know of any Canadian operators enabling VoLTE (or VoWiFi for that matter) to generic phones. I have a Rogers P10 Plus that's registered under my account as my main phone and which I reflashed to have these features available, but it just won't work. I've had extended arguments with Rogers representatives about it, and the 1+3T I'm presently using even have the same config your phone is showing: VoLTE Provisioned, but IMS shows as Not Registered so nothing else works. I'm waiting on an LS998 I bought to arrive, I'll try flashing H933 on it to see if it actually allows me to register on IMS.

KDZ was for Oreo, indeed. It was the one I used to bring the phone to the latest (at the moment) update available.
As for which partitions I flashed, I was gonna give you a list, but to make it short the only partition not flashed was recovery.

As far as I know there are some boot partitions that should not be flashed, which may have caused the soft brick. I know autoprime used to make these zips for the G3 and runningnak3d made one for the V10, you might want to cross reference the partitions they used and what they didnt. Probably the V10 first because the G3 is relatively ancient. I think in essence you should just be able to flash boot, system and modem and rpm though, but you would need 2 combine the split up system images after the extract.

The reason why I was flashing everything is because I used this thread to recover from a previous soft brick I stumbled upon. Upon speaking to the thread creator, he mentioned I should be able to follow a similar process to achieve an H933 flashable file. Did that and, well, managed to soft brick the phone... I might try your idea, though.
So, from my knowledge of attempting to get VoLTE working on an HTC 10, I suspect you won't get VoLTE working on anything other than Rogers H933 firmware. For whatever reason, the programming required for VoLTE isn't on the USIM card in your phone, but rather programmed into the phone by the provider. This means, unless your phone model is sold and supported for VoLTE on the provider you wish to use it on, you're screwed like I was, trying to get VoLTE working on my HTC 10 on Rogers.
This being said, the good news is we are back to CDMA tech here, where the only thing preventing you from using your third party phone with your provider is knowing what code to enter, and what parameters to program in. Since my H933 is on Telus, my programming won't do you much good.
What you're looking for is the IMS settings or IP Multimedia Subsystem settings, as this is what carries the VoIP packets that consist of VoLTE. If someone were to post the settings from their Rogers H933, you may be able to get VoLTE working on US998 firmware.
Why not just flash system and boot? After unlocked and rooted of course.. Lg up partition DL will let you flash individual partitions. I would have done it that way for my carrier but there is no kdz available..

Yea. Then went to restore and the restore wouldn't even work anymore. Was saying there was no partitions backed up but I had use that restore numerous of times trying to get los to boot very strange had to start back from scratch
Anyone with H933 from freedom mobile convert to US988? I'm just wondering how the service is after the change. I'm reading mixed reports but once modems extracted and compared there was a difference.
So I figured I'd go ahead and root my phone and the install went smooth. I got cocky and installed boombox, lost network. After a day of running stock root, last night I tried AOSP Extended. I got the ARM64 8.1 GAPPS. First attempt, it would just bootloop. Second attempt I made it to the setup screen, once I clicked next on wifi menu, it rebooted. I made it to fingerprint and it rebooted. Third try, I just skipped fingerprint and menu stated one more sec or something like that...rebooted. Is there any confirmed working roms for Verizon or should I just give up? Late last night gave up and hoped on LGUP, upgraded, and somehow the phone kept locking up, rebooting,no network, a mess. So flashed first Nougat dl partition, rebooted,setup. flashed oreo,upgrade mode,installed the 3 files, checked root and it worked. installed ifont and it worked so thought i was good to go and went to bed. Got to work today and installed substratum theme and system.ui hit and all I can do now is see my lockscreen clock, or long press to reboot. This isn't going as planned and not sure what I'm doing wrong. What should I do now? Reflash Nougat DL partition, flash oreo upgrade and I should be back to normal? I could never get adaway to work right so wondering if trying different roms worth it at this point after so many fails.
You using an exfat sdcard by chance?
that driver is a little diva... even though the same as in twrp for example, it somehow sometimes (often, not always) makes the system slow down and reboot for unknown reasons
try to remove sdcard and try again. maybe backup your sdcard and change the filesystem to ntfs or so....
PS: same build (just tried in a morning, later same day afternoon) worked, and later didnt work anymore and ****ed up.
Idk whats wrong there. Exfat is proprietary anyway....
Of all things I tried, I never thought about the sd card. When I get home I'll check, I'm hoping this will be it so I can try your AospExtended port. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give that a shot!
It was exfat. I formatted into NTFS, rebooted. It gave me a warning sd card damaged, would I like to fix it or something to that effect. I clicked yes and installed DotOS with no issues. Thanks for your suggestion, feels great to rock some AOSP like old times! I might give Extended a shot, but this one has everything I'd need. Ran it all day today and no hiccup, everything is running like it should.

Every V30/V30+/V30S on the planet -- except for the T-Mobile H932 -- can be bootloader unlocked and rooted.
If you use Verizon, you can add back Verizon Wi-Fi calling and VoLTE after bootloader unlock and root.

Hopefully one of the Verizon guys will answer on how to do it. I'm not involved in the details for adding back carrier features. But I'm pretty sure I saw mention of Verizon Wi-Fi calling and VoLTE in one or more posts.
Sprint guys are helping the Sprint guys. @JWnSC started a thread specifically for them.
Korean guys made a video and started a thread to help the Korean carrier variants.

Hi guys,
I bough a used LG G5 back a couple of days because i have a lot of love for the LG G series. I got the phone after i had a quick look over the phone when i was with the seller and i was very happy about the external look of the phone so i bought it.
I had read that there is an official update for the LG G5 to Oreo so it was a big surprise when i realized that the one i got was still on 6.0.1. What i did was come back to the house, connect to the wifi and try to do a FOTA upgrade. No luck. It said that the phone was already at its latest update available. What i did then was to do a manual upgrade with LG Bridge. All went good and the phone was updated to 7.0. After the first reboot, i got the message "Current version is not available for user....". I didn't bother at the time because i thought that after a factory reset all would be ok. Well that didn't happen . I did notice something strange. The software version i had was referring to "EU" but now it says V20r-OPT2-SI. Perhaps the previous owner had the phone rooted and perhaps that version that it had was not the official EU.
Now the OS is full off bloatware and there isn't an update to Oreo available.
I want to:
- Find the appropriate OS version that my phone should have
- Get rid of the message that appears during the boot
- Get rid (if possible) from the bloatware when the correct OS is loaded
I want to use an official ROM with no root because of company regulations where i work so, rooting might be an issue. If i do have to root, i then have to unroot it again before use.
Because i have been away from the scene for a long time, please excuse my lack of information.
Regards,
If you don't mind loosing VoLTE support for the operators your rom was made for, just delete the /cust/ folder and you'll get rid of both error message and most of the bloatware.

That is indeed a nice tip that i was not aware of but would it be possible to know if i am able to flash a rom carrier independent in order to be able to upgrade afterward to the Oreo? If so, how can i find out the version that i can flash without damaging the phone?
Thanx for the help so far.
You can flash whatever rom you want (of course an H850 one, never try to flash a H830 or H860 ROM on the H850!!!). If you want to upgrade to Oreo having an Open EU stock rom, follow these instructions: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/stock-h850-30a-eu-rom-flashable-zips-t3850072
If you follow colsely the instructions and charge the phone before proceeding, there's virtually no risk of damage (avoid flashing form a desktop pc in a stormy night, of course).
Does anyone know how to downgrade the firmware on the 8 flip? I updated my firmware on Sunday and my phone won't connect to my service provider now. Sim card works in other phones and the only thing that changed was updating from v.110 to v.119.
Any suggestions to fix the issue or downgrade the firmware will be helpful.

Try to download the firmware zip from the support page and flash it in recovery
Tried to update from SD card in recovery. Got no file or directory. Failed to mount SD card and installation aborted.
OK so I was able to use the Android 12 to Android 11 update from Asus to move back the firmware. Popped in the sim,, no luck.
It weird considering the Sim works fine on a pixel 2 xl. Carrier device blacklist maybe?
I have a similar issue as well. Wifi and Bluetooth on my zenfone 8 flip stopped working. I've unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone. I read somewhere that mac.txt should be found in <root>/config/wifi/ but it is not there. I recently updated OTA when this happened. I cannot seem to flash rom via adb as well.
I was hoping to use TWRP but it only support Zenfone 8. Zenfone 8 flip is not on the list (yet).

What did you use to get your boot.img? I may also have the files. I think what I used gave all the files from the update patch.
It turns out my problem was service provider. I have decided my IMEI was black listed by AT&T. I use MVNO and straight talk cut my service, the following weeks I noticed that other AT&T MVNOs (Boost, US cellular, etc.) were not allowing my IMEI even though they did the week before. I switched to Mint (T-Mobile MVNO) seems to work fine.

I used payload_dumper from github. Installed python on my PC and ran it
So I used the payload dumper go. Someone made an all in one script that dumps an image of everything so I have a Bluetooth and modem images. Try that. It's a script that runs on its own, for some reason I was having issues with the python script so the .exe was just easier than troubleshooting.
