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..

So I rooted and installed TWRP and tried to install the recovery using the app. TWRP said it was successfully installed but will boot to a red and blue flashing led.
I can still get the phone to boot up using power and the down volume button but cant get into recovery anymore. Help would greatly be appreciated.

what firmware are you running? I know anything past 10b or 12b it's kinda a pain to get twrp on it.
35b
I'm sorry but I don't have any experience with trying to get twrp onto 35b. But I know it can take a while but you can tot back to 10b with 35b dll, and then root with stump root then use the twrp app to install twrp recovery

Ok, thats cool. I finally got downgrade to work via the tot method; ive tried before but I was using the wrong dll file.

Glad you got it fixed. You *can* put TWRP on from 35B and higher but it's a little painful and some had problems that resulted in them needing to TOT to fix it anyway. I haven't had any problems the 2-3 times I've tested the method. If you're curious you can take a look, it's the second link in my signature below titled "[VS985][TWRP]Install TWRP/flash older KDZs on stock 35B-47A, works for 'ks error'".
But I always recommend the TOT method first.
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.
I think I screwed up and bricked my phone... I had recently updated to 20g and was having some issues with some things (I didnt wipe some data when I did the update). So I then tried to wipe some data (from twrp/recovery) and probably ended up wiping more than I should have. My phone now seems to not want to startup. It just sits with the LG V30ThinQ logo on the screen (I had unlocked my US998 phone and have the latest - 20g .kdz on it). I can get into fastboot mode, but if I run adb devices it will give me a blank list of devices. Though it will act like its connected (computer gives a tone like a device is plugged in). lgup doesnt indicate anything is ever connected either. It seems to let me flash something to recovery, so I tried - Fastboot flash recovery with the latest twrp image and it seemed to work.
Trying the button dance on multiple occasions I cant seem to get into recovery. It will send me to factory data reset. And I have said yes a few times, but it still wont fully boot... and trying to get into recovery doesnt seem to do anything.
I tried reflashing (through fastboot) some of the images (first time system, 2nd time boot) directly out of the 20g kdz file and they seemed to flash even though it never shows any devices... I tried entering recovery and just got back to being able to do a factory data reset (tired again). And it still doesnt get past the LG V30ThinQ logo screen (waited like 10 minutes).
Help?

Uppercut doesn't work once you're on Oreo. Uninstall it, you'll never use it again.
Use the Dev Patched LGUP attached to post #1 of the US998 KDZ thread.

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.

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.

Also, after you go back to US998 Nougat with Refurbish, then do the Master Reset, and when you refurbish back to Oreo go ahead and go to 20H KDZ.
Your bootloader should still be unlocked, I would think. (However, if you don't see the bootloader unlock warning after Nougat and Master Reset, then go to 20b)
From 20H, then you can reinstall TWRP, and flash the three root files again (no encryption, root check disable, and Magisk).

I don't see that you first flashed Nougat, then did Master Reset before going to Oreo.
Nougat would be 10c or 10d (your choice).
Oreo starts in the 20's.
Frankenstein Instructions say to flash Nougat, then Master Reset, then go to Oreo. There's a reason for each step I don't have time to explain here.
Something about your phone is messed up and doing Frankenstein over (Nougat, Master Reset, then Oreo) should fix it.

Don't flash Magisk 19.4 for root in TWRP yet. Try Magisk 18.1 first and then update once rom is setup and stable.

It DOES work if you flashed the right firmware.
If you have a constant bootloop and Master Reset doesn't fix it, it means you usually have flashed the wrong firmware.
I'm betting that you tried to flash Oreo first instead of Nougat.
What letter/number US998 Nougat did you flash? Did you use Partition DL mode?
Please read Frankenstein Instructions again. You should be asking in that thread if you are trying to convert one North American variant to another.

If you already have US998 V30+, why are you flashing US998 Nougat? What are you trying to achieve?
You don't need that for bootloader unlock -- you need early Oreo 20a or 20b. The only reason to flash Nougat are for North American variants who have to convert to US998, before flashing US998 Oreo 20a or 20b. Most can't flash directly to Oreo 20a/20b, they have to first flash Nougat, and do Master Reset, then flash early Oreo.
Were you using Partition DL or Refurbish? Read the Master Reset directions again.

If you press the buttons long enough, hopefully it will reboot.
Still didn't answer why you were flashing Nougat, when you already had USS98 firmware? You only needed to flash USS98 20b.
I'm afraid you unneccessarily flashed it because you didn't read instructions carefully, so I don't know what else you didn't read carefully...
Hope you get it working again!
