So I've had root (stock Froyo) on my TB for a month or 2 now and really like being able to take off the bloatware and maintain consistent backups with TI and pull back a recovery with ROM Manager.
Over the past 2 weeks or so the damn OTA has been forcing its way into my phone, literally!!!
Every so often I would open my phone and it would be in process of DL a Firmware update. I'd pull the battery and restart and give me a server failure error and I was able to continue wihtout error.
All other times it would give indication that Verizon was trying to do something and I would reject it. It would disappear for a few days and reappear with the same 3 selections. I would always reject.
Then one day, as mentioned previously, I noticed my phone was in process of DLing a firmware update.
I thought I caught it in time, but then it kept happening.
I guess yesterday was the last straw VZW had with me rejecting their update and it was forced on. I was then stuck in a boot loop. It would start up and run some processes, get past the SD connection and then hang for a minute then return to a shutdown.
After this I decided to run the Deodexed 1.70 update and the Radio update.
Sat down last night and started messing with it.
Ran the Deodexed through HBOOT and nothing really happened. Did not process as I would expect or had seen when I set up ROOT originally.
So I then ran the radio through HBOOT and this one ran as expecxted asking me for the next step to run the install.
Seemed to work fine and the phone rebooted without a problem, that is until I saw my phone had 'No Service' on the lock screen and the little [x] next to the reception bars.
I tried running both files again through ROM Manager and received the same result.
What I noticed is the following;
Yeah I switched my Tom's and I had no data connection. This is what I did.
Step 1. ##778
step 2. Password 000000 ( six 0's)
Step 3. Tap on edit mode
Step 4. Go to modem settings and scroll to Rev.A (I was on eHRPD so I switched to Enable or whatever the first option is. If your oh enable switch it to eHRPD I did this setting when I didn't have connection a looong time ago)
Sounds like you successfully flashed an MR2 radio but you are still on MR1 (1.13.605.7 indicated by your screencaps) thus no service.
Assuming your recovery still works, flash the 1.70.605.0 rom via recovery.
bloated: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160374
debloated: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161251
If your recovery doesn't work, reflash it then flash the rom.
As you see in the screencaps, you should see 1.70.605.0 under build and software.
The OP's issue is a common one. Rejecting updates is a sorry way to retain root.
First, the 1.13 RUU that was flashed after rooting via ADB was NOT intended to be retained as the long-term solution. Please take a look at this radio link. As you'll see, RUU 1.13 is OLD. I believe many are under the impression this is the firmware that was on their device pre-root, and it likely wasn't. Most started with RUU 1.66 or 1.68. By running that post-root RUU, you're running firmware that is significantly older and less efficient than just about anything out there. And it WILL continue to attempt an auto-update until you fix that situation.
If you like your stock ROM, flash the RUU 1.68 rooted ROM but keep your radios. An even better idea would be to flash the RUU 1.70 ROM and radios since they are the most stable and efficient Froyo releases out. Of course, flashing a real custom ROM would be the best solution, but I know some people like bone stock or have some irrational paranoia about custom ROMs.
Check the Access Point name
Someone else had a similar problem. He realized he had no Access Point Name assigned. (Menu/Settings/Wireless & networks/Mobile networks/Access Point Name)
He wasn't able to reset it from the menu/reset option on the APN page, but was able to add a new APN with VZWINTERNET as the Internet name with the same settings as the non-working APN. Once he had the new APN enabled, he had data access.

Not this case since from the pics, the OP never actually flashed a rom that would work with his radio anyway as I mentioned above.
For some reason, my phone's been having trouble sending and receiving text messages lately.
I recently wiped everything and followed this guide to go back to stock. Since then I've been having abnormally poor connecting over data, trouble sending texts, and frequently receive a notification telling me that I'm roaming — even though I've never had trouble in this location before. I realized that my IMEI number had been reset to zero, so I restored it using this method. I've since flashed the 35b bootstack and did a clean install of Dirty Unicorn 10.5. I'm still having problems on the new ROM and bootstack.
I went to the hidden testing menu (by entering *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer). I'm not sure what most of it means, but here are some things that looked strange:
"CellInfo: mRegistered=NO"
"GSM service: Emergency calls only"
"GPRS service: Disconnected"
Any ideas? I just need this phone to last another month or so, until the new Nexus comes out. Any help would be appreciated!
Did you flash the TOT or KDZ? TOTs can fix things nothing else, even KDZs can't, so just wanted to be sure.
Once you restored the IMEI while on 100% stock non-rooted, did you confirm that everything was working okay then? Non-stock and international stock-based ROMs sometimes mess things up that also nothing else fixes except a TOT or KDZ, although I always recommend TOT since scrub again, they can fix things that KDZs can't.
Also, for the future, you can make a backup in TWRP of your EFS which includes your IMEI, which makes it even easier to restore.
I definitely flashed the tot, I don't know if I flashed the kdz. I have the kdz in the folder like the tutorial said but I didn't specifically send it to the LG Flash Tool.
After returning to stock I didn't notice SMS problems but that doesn't mean much since I didn't have stock for very long. I did notice that I was roaming a lot more than usual, which leads me to believe that the problems existed before flashing a custom ROM.
Also, thanks for the advice with backing up EFS! If I get a new phone in a couple months I'll definitely do that.
Also, just for clarification's sake: I'm having no problems accessing the internet on data only, and also no problems making phone calls. The bizarre thing is only texts seem to have trouble... They eventually get through after a day of walking around campus but in most buildings they never send.
I'm going to reset again now, and I'll make sure both files get flashed.
If by both files you mean TOT and KDZ, that's not necessary, just TOT. I'd avoid non-stock if I were you, and if you fool around with non-stock again, I'd flash the TOT yet again before doing anything else.
Hey there, I have the V30 US998 model (bought from US Cellular, my service provider as well) and I'm having issues with my service after flashing.
Stock root works perfectly fine, but when I try to flash any Oreo or Pie room I either get with with perfect SMS and MMS (only works after making a call) with both 4g and 3g running about .3 Mb.....or I don't get any of it working at all.
Is there something I'm missing? Maybe flashing a kernel? I would appreciate all help and advice!
maybe after flashing try adding the corresponding apn for your carrier and see if that helps out with your mms and sms issue. also make a back up of the stock rom with root if swapping roms. it'll be faster than restarting from scratch after a flash.
Make sure your APN is set correctly. This is what's recommended by US Cellular for the V30:
Name: USSC
APN: internet
Proxy: wap.voicestream.com
Port: wap.voicestream.com
Username: [email protected]
password: yourMSID
MCC: 310
MNC: 120
Authentication Type: not set
If "APN type" pops up: default,supl
Not sure why they suggest putting a domain in the port field as I've never had a carrier that used anything there... it's always been "not set" for me. It doesn't make sense logically by basic understanding of the internet but maybe it's something weird and specific to phones and carriers.
Not sure exactly what MSID is but apparently if you call 611 US Cellular can give you it.
Normally nothing "pops up" but that's what their site claims. Usually "APN type" is where you set "default,supl".
To save those APN settings you click the three dots at the top right then select save.
Ultimately, you could nandroid your flashed phone and put your stock US Cellullar ROM back on, record the APN data and flash the nandroid back onto the phone then restore the default APN settings but first I suggest you try to just enter the APN based on the information from the US Cellular site and the below step.
Another thing that could be going on, assuming the APN is set correctly is to enter the following hidden menu with the dialer: *#*#4636#*#* and go select the appropriate preferred network type. For me on ATT I went with "LTE/UMTS auto (PRL)". I think this should work for you as well. This resolved data issues in the past on my Nexus 5 and I had the same problem on the V30+ after flashing a ROM which it also resolved.

I tried to save the APN settings but it failed due to an error? I think it had something to do with either port or the apn type. So I am curious, would grabbing us99820e_02_0910.kdz for US998 (US Cellular) and using LGUP help in this instance? Would all I have to do is reunlock the bootloader and root?

You don't have to re-unlock bootloader. It will stay unlocked unless you re-lock it; please don't. Because to re-unlock you have to temporarily downgrade to pre-July 2018 firmware.
Why US998 20E? Why not the most recent? 20E is older. 20F is most recent You can even flash via TWRP. Just reflash Magisk before rebooting.
You can also enable DTS 3D stereo on US998 20F:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/how-to/enable-dts-3d-stereo-lg-v30-variants-t3887139
At least try it out before you flash back to custom ROM...

I stated before, even flashing back to stock was still giving me issues. I really haven't had much sleep recently due to this issue, so please have patience. I ended up plugging my V30 into my laptop for LG Bridge and it automatically updated to us998 20F. I am hoping its what I needed.

For custom ROMs, you do often have to edit or even create APNs for specific carriers.
Hope stock 20F solves your problem.

Yeah, when I got back home and flashed back to stock, I was only having issues with 4G and it's speed. Just went up to F and I'm still running into them. I also can't edit the apn settings I actually need to change.

Try "add APN", then make it the default.

Also for US CELLULAR, you want LTE/CDMA, right? I of course have where I need for AT&T. Don't use what I have, I'm just showing the options.

I believe US Cellular is one of the last to use CDMA, but I made the apn default but still everything but the first two are still grayed out.
Download 20f zip to sd card in your phone. Go into twrp and go to wipe. Swipe factory reset then go to advanced wipe and wipe the things i have in sceenshot. Then format data. Flash zip. Wipe cache. Reboot system. Make sure you backup anything important because if it is on phone storage it will be gone. You can flash magisk later if your phone works after that. I am on us cellular also.
Before I saw this post I was having problems with cell data, after leaving wifi data will not kick in, I had to go to setting and enable 3g only then LTE and after that, I got data connection, what I did I just dirty flash 20f (I didn't want to lose my info), and everything has been working fine.
PS
I never had a custom rom, it was just converted from sprint to US998, and worked fine for a while and then suddenly started having the data problem

Question, have you gotten any of the Oreo or Pie roms to work nicely with your phone and service? Curious cause now I've fully fixed my phone's service And junk, kinda getting antsy to try out one of them.
Liquidremix worked good but you have to make a call after reboot to get calling and data to work. Right now i prefer stock rooted
After waiting a bit I haven't found any ROMS supporting US Cellular off the bat.
I'm on the latest update US99820G and still having no luck. Anyone else find a fix found a similar post!
I don't have a US Cellular phone (I have the vs996 (Verizon) Frankensteined to US998 - - currently on 20g). For me to install any custom AOSP rom, I have to first do a clean wipe and install the twrp flashable US998 - - 20e rom. I then do a clean wipe and install the AOSP custom Rom of choice (resurrection remix, Liquid Remix, etc.).
If I don't do it this way, then I have problems with data, sound, texts, etc. Again, I don't know if this applies to the US cellular phone or not.
I still have to make a phone call (I call my voice mail) after reboots to get things working.
I was using an AOSP rom for several months but decided to roll back to my stock oreo rom backup in TWRP. Only issue is my VoLTE is not working anymore during calls. I am on Oreo (H93220s) and never updated to stock PIE.
Is there an easy way to flash a modem or something without having to completely start from scratch? I found a 20r modem in one of the T-Mobile threads, but not sure if I should flash that on 20s. Thanks for any help.
Of course verify you have an LTE connection. I am sorry, just making sure :angel:
Then try a Network settings reset, if you haven't already: Settings -> General -> Reset -> Network settings reset. Then restart the phone.
If that doesn't work, you could try re-loading IMS settings using the LG Hidden menu: Dial *#546368#*932# using the stock dialer -> Field Test -> IMS Setting -> Test -> Load Preset Configuration -> Initialize Configuration. Then back out twice to Field Test -> IMS Setting -> Test -> Restart IMS process. Give it a few minutes.
If that doesn't work, then I'd say probably some firmware wasn't restored to stock after using the custom ROM. Try flashing @weakNPCdotCom's FullStock.zip from the thread linked below, factory wipe in TWRP. Once you've verified VoLTE works, restore just the data from your TWRP stock backup.
[STOCK] [H932] [20s] [Oreo] T-Mobile LG V30 Stock Collection (Includes Debloated)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/development/stock-t-mobile-lg-v30-stock-collection-t3917560
Finally, if that doesn't do it either, you may have to perform a genuine Factory Data Reset from the Android Settings menu. This wipes some persistent data which isn't wiped by TWRP nor by Master Reset. It requires stock recovery, so you will lose TWRP. Personally I would perform a full flash of stock 20s using LGUP in Refurbish Mode. This will also ensure that all necessary TMO partitions are flashed.
I suppose you could flash TWRP to your laf partition (as described in the H932 root thread) then flash 20s in Partition DL mode, everything BUT laf. That way you wouldn't have to start over rooting the phone.
My only concern is that H932 is easily disturbed, sometimes with bad consequences. Being kind of OCD, I would probably go nuclear if it came to this, meaning full Partition DL to 10d (to ensure partitions are straightened out), THEN partition DL to 20s, THEN Factory Reset, verify that VoLTE is working. Then you'll have to start over rooting, including temporarily back to 10d again. But that's just me
Once you got it working and are back on 20s, THEN you can restore just the data from your TWRP stock backup. IOW restoring that backup is your last step.
Thanks for the detailed tips. I have tried everything you mentioned so far, up to flashing the fullstock.zip, and unfortunately that still didn't fix it. I had this problem with another LG phone before, and the only way I could get it fixed was flashing a .KDZ, but I know this phone is a lot trickier considering the root method and all.
Am I able to flash a KDZ and not have it flash the LAF partition all over so I don't have to re-root it? Thanks again.
Got it. Yeah you probably need a full firmware flash.
I think I misspoke in my last post: Of course you can't put TWRP on laf and then use LGUP. Duh
I can't really think of a way to do a full flash (incl recovery) without having to start over. I'm sorry.
Maybe there is a way that others can think of. I'm not my sharpest right this moment.
Edit: Just to make sure, you know your account and SIM are provisioned for VoLTE? And you're on TMO, right? H932 doesn't do VoLTE on other carriers (such as AT&T).
Edit2: If you haven't already gone nuclear, and assuming you're on 20s FullStock.zip, you could try flashing TWRP to laf (as previously discussed), then flash stock recovery to recovery -- if you can find stock recovery somewhere, either as an img or zip. Just make sure it's same version (20s). This should allow you to perform a Factory Reset from the Android Settings menu. If that solves VoLTE, you can use your laf-TWRP to put TWRP back on recovery and laf back on laf. (I hope that made sense.)
Again, I would go nuclear, but I can definitely understand if you want to avoid it. There are also risks when rooting H932, in addition to the work.
So I went through the whole process of flashing back to 10d and redoing root. Same issues. Then my wife tells me that T-Mobile is having network issues all over, even my Verizon phone was having calling issues. What a waste of time that caused me. It must have just been coincidence that the same day I start messing with my phone that the whole network goes down! Thanks again for the great suggetions though.
T-Mobile's having huge network issues at the moment.

Any ideas? Other apps I installed to try (eg Signal) fail too. Stock ROM.
This is my fist post, have visited many times. Here we go.
As a LG V20 owner, I recommended the V30+ to two people at work. In a matter of 24 hours, both units stopped sending and receiving emails. I have taken the sims out and tested these in other phones, not a sim issue. I then moved my sim (Telstra Aus) into the V30 and only in the Messaging app, it came up with the message No SIM. This I thought might be a sim slot issue, moved it into the other slot closest to the outside. This worked for about an hour. Then the same issue occurred again. It has to be software, an update or a network change that has caused this. I did a network setting reset, have cleared cache for messaging app. SAFE MODE etc. Very strange.

Yes I used Messenger app for SMS and this failed. It sounds network setting related but still testing.
I had the same problem on my V30, suddenly SMS has stopped working. (I'm using Textra app)
I checked the sim card on the other phone and it was ok.
I found on the internet that other V30 are also affected.
The solution was to install the Message app from Google and run it.
Now SMS is working on Textra and also on the stock app.
Whoa, didn't see this before I posted in another thread. Same problem here, but I already had Messages installed! Wonder if it's just this phone for some reason?? My partner is also on VZ (S7) and can send SMS
edit: apparently it's something Google broke. Temp fix is to disable Carrier Services!
I just recently started having text messages not sending. I am on Verizon LG V30 using the vs996 30c debloated rom. Everything has worked fine until last week when I installed the latest Resurrection Remix rom. Since these roms’ tethering and WiFi do not work, I tried installing the us998 modem zip. I don’t know if that is the problem or not, but, I could not get it to work. I have since reinstalled my 99630c debloated rom and have now lost the ability to send text messages, although I can receive texts just fine. I have done clean installs and dirty installs of the rom. I, just yesterday, did a restore of a previous 99630c backup, changed messaging apps, etc. I even reinstalled Verizon’s messaging app.The messaging problem still persists.
i just got off the phone with a very nice Verizon tech, who spent about 40 minutes trying to help me. No success. She said everything appears to be working fine on their end. She ran out of things to try. She thinks my rooting the phone might possibly have something to do with it, which I agree with.
Does anyone have a working link to John Fawkes vs99630c zip? The one one his zip thread does not download for me. I thought I would try starting again with that zip. Maybe I need to try a different modem download?
Any suggestions much appreciated. Thx

See my solution directly above your question. It's not "rooting" that caused it, it's "Google" that caused it. Uninstalling or freezing Carrier Services will fix it. Did for me.
Check the litany of * reviews from today alone:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.ims&showAllReviews=true
Also, both the standard and debloat ROMs for VS99630c from their respective threads and androidilehost are downloading fine for me.
Thx, but did not work for me. I went into TiBu and found carrier services sitting in the non installed portion of the apps. So, I installed it (first with app, then with data) and tried both messaging apps with it installed. That did not work, so I went back into TiBu again and froze it. It still does not work.
I have tried downloading the standard zip from Fawkes zip thread 8 or 10 times or so. It gets to about 8 or 9% , then gives the message unsuccessful.
I will keep trying. Thx for your suggestions.
As an edit. My phone has also started giving me problems with my fingerprint recognition and my phone dialed has suddenly changed looks forcing me to constantly press and swipe an unlock button to keep the dial pad open if I hesitate too long in punching in numbers or trying to change to speakerphone from there.
I don’t know if it is something I have done/installed (wrong modem perhaps?).
And having the new XDA transition at the same time certainly didn’t help .

I don't know what to tell you about the downloads, confirmed they work.
You don't need to freeze CS, you can literally just uninstall it from the Play store. It's just an enhancement for the Google MEssages app they broke. if you don't use Messages, you surely don't need it. I don't know what you meant about CS showing up in the "non installed portion of the apps". It's either installed and frozen or thawed, or it's not. Maybe you had a backup there for reasons? Regardless, you certainly need to reboot after changing CS, not sure if you did that.
You have alot of other issues coming from RR, then flashing a modem, then trying to dirty flash VS996. Since you have TB already, you should definitely backup your apps, then Maybe clean flash VS99630c once you've followed the WTF thread. You should probably wipe your system after the other ROMs and just start over.
That certainly was a quick answer. In TiBu, under “backup/restore”, I have all the apps that are currently on my phone—a very long list. This list can be frozen, etc., and is bolded and colored fonts. Scrolling down that list, it ends and a list starts that is not bolded and has lines thru it. I guess these are apps, etc. that I have, at one time, had on the phone and can be re installed via TiBu.
I was trying to “start over” by downloading the vs99630c rom and try it. Where were you thinking I need to start over at? I wish to work only on “zips” via twrp, as I don't have much luck/knowledge with kdz and computers.
Thx, again.
Again, I'm the furthest thing from the expert here, but he's on travel! Check the WTF thread, because I'm not sure what happens when you wipe with the flashes you've made. But you'd probably start from 6.7. MORE TWRP ACTIONS here:

I would reboot to TWRP and do a complete system backup in case this goes tits up you can restore that from TWRP. Then I would boot to OS and back up everything in TB, then delete all uninstalled backups through the batch actions. Then reboot to TWRP again, wipe, install the VS99630c ROM, install MAgisk, reboot. Make sure your install works then restore your apps through TB.
Ok, thx. I wish to install the vs99630c rom zip now (not the debloated) and am unable to download it from JohnFawkes LG V30 vs 996-30c thread from here on xda. I have tried via my phone about a dozen times now and it stops now generally after the 10 to 20% zip has downloaded. I even tried it a couple of times downloading onto a laptop. Can you possibly point me to a different link that I can try? I need to be on Verizon’s vs 996 and not on the 998 rom, I think? Sorry for the big bother.
Well, I did finally find a download mirror on here from chazzmatts thread using his mirror. It is downloaded now. I will try this installation before going thru the wtf steps you referred me to. If this doesn’t work, then i will try it.
thx, again for your help.
As an update, I did a clean wipe and installed this zip. So far, it seems to have settled things down for. I was able to text (2) and make a phone call. Both worked. I did agree to everything they asked (I normally refuse things such as location, etc.). I’m happy for now. Later, I may try to reinstall the debloated zip.
Ideveraux, thx for all your help on here. I really appreciate it.
Make sure you backup TWRP and TB. Just saying!
And to the OP, I’m sorry I hijacked your thread. I hope you got yours solved, too.
I had this problem after owning the phone for several days.
I'm not sure why, but when i installed Google's "Messages" app, the problem was fixed.
I didn't have to run the messages app, just install it. The stock app suddenly started working again.
I then uninstalled google messages (without ever running it), and the next day I had the same problem.
Once again; I installed google messages, and the problem solved itself without ever running google messages.
This time; I haven't uninstalled google messages.
I'm guessing that something about SMS settings got messed up (i checked them when the problem first happened and couldn't find a problem), and installing a new message app restored the settings to normal.
TLDR: if SMS stops working, Install Google Messages. Problem solved.

I tried that initially and that's not the accepted fix at all. Read above.
