Hi,
I think I screwed up. I followed this guide for my AT&T LG V30 and finished successfully:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76584629&postcount=193
Then I went into TWRP and flashed this rom:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/development/rom-lineageos-15-1-t3789793
It seemed to flash fine, but now I'm stuck at the LineageOS boot logo.
Can anyone please help me out? I'm trying to flash LineageOS on my phone.

AT&T means H931, which probably same as H933 needs some special work to be able to boot aosp based roms. The H933 people figured it out, but are still writing a easy as possible guide.
Will (hopefully) also work for the H931 then. Be patient.

I have an LG P769 software version 20f (OTA) build JZO54K that I would love to put Cyanogen on. I have it on my p509 and I love it. My understanding is that I need to unlock the bootloader, flash a proper recovery image and then flash over the Cyanogen Rom. I did my P509 so I'm not a complete noob at this, it's been working just fine for almost 2 years however I've searched every where and I have a few questions.
Is it possible to unlock a stock 20f P769? (purchased the phone a week ago, updated it yesterday and it's 20f now. No idea what it was before that but it was brand new from Tmobile)
If it is, how do I do and what do I need?
Is Cyanogen 10.1 the newest of the Cyanogen ROMs I can use?
If I do successfully unlock it I can follow the CM 10.1 guide to get the rom and all that on there really I'm stuck now at Unlocking it. I tried the method in the now locked thread (before realizing people had found out it doesn't work)
Thanks in advance for any help, like I said I've looked in dozens of threads and can't seem to find a clear answer on the matter.

Hi, with the recently great news convert models to unlock bootloaders I convert my at&t h931 to us998 and unlock bootloader and twrp, flash the boombox v30 rom because the title say compatible with all rooted v30 and run perfect and great rom, then I flash the WETA rom but only ended with bootloops and flash back to boombox rom so I decide to see more deep the situation, the boombox in the settings say model h930 and I look in the thread and saw the rom its for the h930 but works with other models like mine thats its us998 converted its ok, but in the WETA title say us998 rom and dont work soo I little confused about that.
so I decide to make this trhead for people like me
for my part the boombox rom works and the WETA wont work.
bootloop as in stuck in bootanimation forever?
or it reboots and reboots and reboots all the time?
If the later, then its probably because youre on Oreo firmware, which denies to boot any nougat kernel. (thats the reason i made the updated recovery)

H931 and H933 (i think those 2 it was, models are confusing) are the 2 models that bootloop (actually on the animation) on AOSP based roms like lineage... still have to figure out why
Oreo based stock roms should work fine though
Hi, I'm using a converted us998 with stock 20h, bl unlocked, rooted and twrp 3.2.7 installed. I wanna install aosp-based pie ROMs, but after trying many them, like los 16, havoc 2.9, crdroid 5.4, all of them stuck at their specific boot animations. I'm sure the process of flashing these ROMs are all correct that data, cache, dalvik cache and even system are all wiped before flashing the new ROMs. I also tried los 17 with or without permissive patcher, but it behaves the same.
Before requesting help here, I tried to flash in twrp 20e to see if anything would change, but not at all. So I wonder if I need any kdz work, as currently I have some difficulty to get access to computers.
By the way, this phone I got from a former user, and he told he had used havoc and maybe tried stock pie, but I'm not sure what he had done with this phone. Since I got the phone, I had done no system-level change but daily use. The stock 20h running now has one issue since I got it: after any accident reboot, it may reboot itself every 1-2 minutes, and triggers of wifi, bluetooth cannot work during the process. Only forced reboot while its automatic rebooting can break the misbehavior.
If kdz work is indeed needed, could I convert it to h930 from nougat? I see h930 gets more frequent update.
I was facing similar problem.
But I am able to boot LOS17.1 now. I use this method #3 mentioned in Stock US998 Pie thread on post #4.
basically you need to Partition DL to H933 10h first, just give it a read. This is the only working method for me.
you did flashed Stock Pie firmware, didn't you? It's mentioned here that flashing Stock Pie will gives you irreversible changes to your device that cause problem when you flashed Stock Oreo and AOSP 9.0, they say it'll mess up sensors and camera, but for me I can even boot AOSP 9.0, and haven't go back to Stock Oreo ever since, so idk.
it looks like your only option is AOSP 10.

IF you have a former H931 or H933 converted to US998 you need to follow the AOSP prep stages here for any AOSP ROM to boot:
* Running any AOSP ROM on an US998 converted H931
* [GUIDE] Canadian H933 compatibility with AOSP ROMs
This is mentioned in the WTF Instructions with link to
ADVICE ON CUSTOM ROMS
See post #2, point #2 of that "ROOT YOUR V30!" Sticky Guide.
You don't say WHAT your former variant is, but I assume it's one of those if you are having this much trouble...

To run LOS-17 ROMs you additionally need to first flash LG stock Pie as a base. The LOS-17 (Android 10) ROMs need the LG stock Pie blobs (drivers). Whereas, LOS-16 ROMS use the LG stock Oreo blobs.

YES, all this information should be posted in EVERY ROM thread, but it's not. However, I wrote "ROOT YOUR V30!" Sticky Guide so people would still have that information. Same reason @tech_infinity maintains an ASOP bugs thread, which is something else that should be posted in every ROM thread!
* BUGS ON LOS-17 (Android 10) ROMS
* BUGS ON LOS-16 ROMS (those 7 will probably never be fixed)
Uh, sadly I made a mistake and almost bricked my phone. See Help! bootloop per 5 sec, cannot enter rec, download or fastboot

I'm back from the 9008 recovery. I think the original variant of my phone is ls998 as the former owner told me. I have been tired doing anything with North America variants, so if it's feasible to move to stock h930 base as I don't care about baseband, @ChazzMatt?

1) It's strange if you have former LS998 that you can't boot any AOSP custom ROMs. No one else has that issue. Whereas H931/H933 are documented with needing additional prep. Is your phone V30+ (128GB) or just V30 (64GB)? That would definitely tell you what the original variant is. H931/H933 are only 64GB, whereas all the LS998 I've seen are V30+ (128GB).
2) I'm never going to advise anyone to flash anh H930 variant KDZ over North American phones. However, some people have done it, as long as they EXCLUDE certain partitions when flashing H930 KDZ with Dev Patched LGUP in Partition DL mode.

That guide above was made when people were too impatient to wait for US998 to get Pie, so they partially converted to EU H930, just to get LG stock Pie. It's not like Frankenstein where you fully convert all partitions, and even change LTE bands.
Also some people have done it to get East European languages not present in the North American firmware.
From what I understand once you flash the H930 stock firmware, it's hard to flash back -- but that may have been the stock "Pie" effect, with sensors messed up, etc -- as people were flashing back to US998 stock Oreo once they tried EU H930 stock Pie. We've managed to overcome that "Pie" effect for the most part, by flashing Nougat then going to Oreo.
(For others reading this do NOT try it with T-mobile H932!)
Hi,
I was just just reading the previous topic on rooting the v30, on the very last page it says that that posting is pretty old and it was suggested to start a new thread about rooting the v30. By chance has a new thread been started yet? I'd like to get my phone rooted, but I want to do so in a safe way. I'm currently running android 9.0, version H93130g, kernel 4.4.153.
Thanks

If you read that, then you also read to go to the updated version. It didn't say to start a new topic -- it says we already have newer thread.
Since May 2018 ALL V30/V30+/V30S can be bootloader unlocked and rooted. But people keep finding that older thread which only covers LG's official bootloader unlock, which covers only 3 variants and that thread has outdated TWRP and other older files.
Here's the Sticky you overlooked?
Read post #1. It's about bootloader unlock and root.
Post #2 is V30 custom ROMs FAQ.
ROOT YOUR V30!

ChazzMatt,
Sorry about that, since I've gotten older my thinking process doesn't work as good as it used to. Thanks for your help & patience, at this point in time I don't think that my mind is in good enough condition to perform the rooting of my phone. Just installing the TWRP backup itself seems rather difficult at least for me at this point.

OK. Yes, rooting has gotten harder and some people coming from even older phones than 2017 V30 series haven't run into that yet. There's no more 1-click root methods.
You should see what's needed to root the 2018 V35! More complex than V30.
But everyone who has rooted their LG V30/V30+/V30S has used this technique or something similar (LG's official bootloader unlock). The only exceptions are T-mobile H932 which has completely different, more tedious method using a Linux boot disc.
The difference between the thread you found (LG official method) and the "WTF Instructions" are we are using an early Oreo exploit which covers 99% of all the V30/V30+/V30S variants. All except for T-mobile H932, and that variant has its own root method documented. The WTF method is very similar to LG's official bootloader unlock -- but we use a fake bootloader unlock code and you have to (temporarily) flash to the specific firmware you need for the
1) bootloader unlock exploit and
2) fastboot flash commands.
(AT&T H931 and most other North American V30 variants don't have fastboot flash commands, so you have to temporarily convert to Open Market US998 V30/V30+/V30S firmware.)
Then once bootloader is unlocked, and TWRP installed and Magisk flashed -- plus a couple more files to disable LG's root checking, etc -- THEN you can update back to newer stock rooted firmware via TWRP-flashable zip (i.e. stock ROM) or move on to custom ROMs.
The thread you read only explains LG's official bootloader unlock method -- for which only 3 V30 variants out of like 36 are eligible. That thread also has very outdated TWRP. Back when it was written, only those 3 variants could be rooted, with permission from LG. Now we can root ALL V30 in the world and don't need LG's permission.
hello so i got a refurbished us998 on android 7.1 i couldnt get it to update vie ota so i flashed oreo firmware with lgup after that i unlocked bootloader and installed twrp all good but after that i wanted to update to pie so i can install android 10 custom roms i flashed the pie kdz and i got stuck at lg logo couldn't boot then i tried with flashable zip same i tried flashing back 7.1 then to pie that didnt work then i flashed all the oreo zip from build 820e to 820h as mentioned in a thread and then pie

In the US998 Pie KDZ thread, there's several methods to get to Pie. Look at post #2 and post #6. It sounds like you tried some of those, but read again carefully. Method #4 in post #6 seems to work for almost everyone.
You can't flash LOS-16 immediately after failing to update to Pie. Enough Pie infected the partitions that it will not work. So, if you want LOS-16 you have to flash back to Oreo first. LOS-16 needs Oreo blobs (drivers).

thanks i will try method 4 but i already flashed back to oreo and los 16 still cant boot and when i boot back to twrp i find it that nth is installed and everything is wiped out 0mb its like not detecting internal storage or smth maybe partition issue like u said
edit: so i tried method 4 and it worked thanks a lot hopefully i can install adnroid 10 custom roms now
