Just tried to update to Q Havoc, which went fine, but no wifi. Tried using the wifi patch. It failed at "unable to wipe persist" or something. After that I would just bootloop. Tried my TWRP backup (it had worked earlier), which would loop at the bootleggers splash screen. Tried a couple of fresh installs with different roms, wipes, etc. Same thing. Tried THIS stock ROM, now stuck at the LG boot screen. I still have TWRP and unlocked BL.
So...at this point I would probably try using LGUP if I had access to a windows box in the next couple of days (I don't, just linux).
Any other solutions that I could do through TWRP/adb/fastboot whatever?
If not, what step do I start with using the LGUP method?
Ok, so I was able to wipe the data on that stock firmware and it then booted. From there able to restore my backup. However, the cell radio doesn't seem to be working. When I loaded the stock rom I got a no sim detected error but didn't pay attention to it since I immediately restored my backup. I tried reflashing the kernel with no luck.
Always tell the variant you have. There's two dozen different V30 variants. Some have specific notes.
When you say you tried to "update" to Q, did you ever have AOSP ROM before that? If you have a former H931/H933 did you ever do the steps necessary to run AOSP ROMs? See, stuff like that.
Sorry, LS998-->US998. So I was running CM based rom before that, but don't think the AOSP stuff applies in my case.
Anyway, finally got it working. Reflashed with your (@chazzmatt) stock rom stock oreo (I used 20e), which worked fine and I was able to restore as usual. Is the earlier rom i linked to the euro version only/not compatible with US carriers?
Still not sure why I can't flash the wifi fix, still getting errors with the persist partition, but I'll follow that up on another thread.

Right. Converted LS998 to US998 doesn't need the tedious extra H931/H933 AOSP Prep steps.

Right. H930 variant stock KDZ/ROMs are not compatible with any North American variants. There's warnings in my various KDZ threads to only flash H930 to H930 and North American to North American -- and T-Mobile H932 is an island unto itself. Modem partitions are especially not compatible.
Yes, there is a thread here in this forum that shows how to flash selected portions of H930 KDZ over North American, but I have nothing to do with that and I will never recommend it to anyone. Some people may have valid reasons for doing that (for East European language, etc) but they take full responsibility. For that hack, you have to to Partition DL flash and OMIT certain partitions, and when doing updates ALWAYS continue to OMIT those partitions.

I'm having a weird signal type problem with US998 on Verizon, and want to see if anyone has any suggestions. If I start clean (I'll explain in a moment) I get 4G all the time - low signal or not. If I reboot the phone it goes to 3G, occasionally 1X mode, and sometimes no signal, but never to 4G mode even in areas that have really strong signal. As part of trying to figure this out, I've flashed the modem partition with the one from Verizon KDZ, and get the same result. If I boot into TWRP and wipe modemst1 and modemst2 from the terminal using dd (the starting clean), then reboot, 4G magically works again - until the phone gets rebooted or power cycled.
Because of some things I did with my early attempts at using the Verizon modem, which also include updating Magisk to version 17 that day (I first thought the bootloop was from the modem), plus I had dirty flashed 20d, I decided to start from scratch. I backed-up the data partition and made a copy of everything TWRP excluded (media), used LGUP to "refurbish" the phone using the 20e KDZ , and flashed the Verizon modem from their 20d KDZ. Unfortunately the problem remains.
The phone currently has US998 20e firmware, except for the modem is from Verizon's 20d, TWRP, Magisk 16, the Google Dialer & Contacts apps flashed using syndre's provided zip (without the Magisk module) - no other mods.
The KDZ files don't have the FSG partition separate - that was one of my first thoughts, as that usually gets done with the modem. I'm thinking of flashing the System part of the Verizon KDZ, or possibly trying a full flash of it. Could it be the phone hardware itself?
Flashing System from the Verizon KDZ seems to have fixed my problem - I reflashed the modem partition (again) as well, and also did the Persist partition (which I tried before with the modem partition). As part of clearing out some of the Verizon included stuff, I noticed there is some extra configuration (APNs, etc) apps included that may be part of what fixed things.
Basically, If you have a "stock" US998 and have signal issues on Verizon, either do the whole conversion to (or back to) a VS996 by flashing the Verizon KDZ (except recovery), or mix and match (with possible negative side effects) - just flashing the modem partition isn't enough.

Flashing the @westwood24 VS996 20D ROM should do the same thing, shouldn't it? It's just VS9996 20D KDZ with TWRP.
[ROM][VS996][Stock][OREO] LG-VS996 20D ROM
I'm just asking, as I'm not a Verizon customer. But my understanding (which may be wrong) is that flashing that "ROM" was basically the same thing as Frankenstein, except it kept TWRP and all you needed to do was then re-flash Magisk.

My understanding is that using a flashable zip or Upgrade mode in LGUP will flash everything except the Data partition. I used Partition DL mode and flashed only those three (System, Modem, and Persist) - I'm trying to keep away from as many of Verizon's modifications as possible.
If I start to have other issues, I'll probably start clean, and install the whole Verizon KDZ. Otherwise I might start picking at the various Verizon mods, and see if maybe I can figure-out what does what.
I went into the Hidden Menu and forced LTE Only. I have poor signal where I live and honestly 3g blows.
I looked at some of the hidden menu stuff, the problem is some of that seems to be legacy stuff they never removed, and made things worse.

I am wondering why I can not put a custom rom onto my V30 converted to a US998. Everything I find online is for the H931 and I would like to try out some of these roms. I read that they should work on the phone but when I tried it I did not receive any signal from Verizon. Also when going threw to new phone setup the screen would go black. After I would reboot and go threw the process again it still happened.

You have a exfat sdcard? Kernel driver probably doesnt like it, and eventually crashes the phone (and when youre "too slow", that happens during setup)
The H930 roms work fine on H930(D/DS/G), US998, LS998 and VS996, you would be the first for who it wouldnt work . Its just known that you kinda need to place a call every now and then on Verizon (and only there...) otherwise you wont receive sms/calls but data works fine...
Just (converted) H931 and H933 bootloop (except 1 guy who managed to make it work on his H933... and nobody, not even himself, knows how). No idea of the 3 korean variants now though...

I do not have any sdcard installed on my phone at all. I don't know how I am being to slow with the setup. When it pops up with the setup I just press on next or fill everything in. Just for some reason the screen goes black. I used the v30 version of resurrection remix. And I used the stock version of Open GApps, I read I should probably try to nano or pico version. Just to verify I should be using the ARM64 version correct?
Please explain the have to make a call to verizon (every once in a while) or I can recieve sms or calls.

Thats a weird behaviour for a VS996
havent heard of that before. Usually it only crashes during setup if the kernel shouldnt like the installed exfat sdcard. Never heard of it happening otherwise
And what i mean with that was that for some reason only verizon users need to place a call after booting (or after some amount of time), otherwise they wont receive any calls or sms, even though data works all the time.

I don't know if it matters but its a converted VS996 to a US998. I know its weird, is there a version of resurrection remix os that I should try. I tried the unofficial one here. ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/development/rom-resurrectionremix-v6-0-0-t3798443 ) due to not being to find a supported version on Resurrection Remix's website at all. I really want to get this to work just don't want to brick my phone in the process. I understand that is always a risk that everyone takes but when I followed the directions it still didn't work. Maybe I am looking at the wrong place, or doing something wrong.
I am running the 20d of the US998 firmware
Used TWRP format everything execpt the actual system itself.
Used TWRP to install ( RR .zip file and then the GApps file) <-----should i use the micro or pico?
Booted into the phone everything went good during the setup process I chose mobile data and turned off wifi. Then the setup screen went black. I could still see the status bar in the top where it shows battery etc...
(During the setup process I had no connection with verizon) <------Any idea why?
I have the Verizon vs996 as my phone. I have used the Frankenstein method to change it to the us998 version, then unlocked the bootloader and then eventually rooted the phone. I have successfully installed and used at least most, if not all of SGCMarkus' roms, including RR (the version you linked).
I have also used AEX, DotOS, AOSIP, Dirty Unicorns 9.0, twrp flashable vs996 and us998 roms (currently on the twrp vs 996_20f), and maybe others that I am forgetting (it seems like I am forgetting a rom or two)? I have successfully flashed and used all of those I have mentioned. I have successfully flashed and installed Boom box rom, but cannot get the data to work on it. I have not tried to flash or install lineage.
So, I know that it can be done on a Verizon VS996 phone.
So, if you are successfully boot loader unlocked and rooted with twrp installed, it should work.
So, I would download the rom of choice and the suggested gapps (I normally use Nano, and I think v30, does use the arm 64 version. Make sure you have the correct 8.0 or 8.1 download of gapps) and Magisk.
I have used both the data only and also wifi in the setup process successfully. Don't ever recall getting a black screen. I do have an old 32gb SD card that has not given me any trouble (yet).
Hopefully, you can get it worked out and working OK.
I found the reason for all my issues was because I used the Open GApps Stock instead of the nano I switched it out and its working perfectly.

Hello, I am an H933 user that has ran into a couple problems that are probably my fault. I have unlocked, and rooted my phone. Then I tried to install some Pie roms.
Things I did:
1. I used this to unlock my bootloader, and root my phone.
2. I tried to install some custom roms. Which then all resulted in a bootloop. (Except The Theory of Everything. Which worked, but was really buggy, and ultimately made my phone restart every 5 minutes)
3. I found out about this. But then noticed that my mobile data was gone.
4. I was on a custom rom without data until I found this page. Which made my data work again.
5. I decided to rollback to stock oreo with the flashable TWRP H933i zip. Due to brightness and volume issues on custom roms.
6. Then data stopped working again. So I used the backup I created when data was working on stock. But data didn't work.
7. I tried again with download mode, but to no avail.
8. I used the same guide from step 4 to try and get data back. And it still didn't work.
Where I am now:
So I am on US98810c with working data and root. Kinda bummed, but everything still works at least.
Theories:
1. I am dumb, and I did something wrong.
2. Use this on an H933 kdz and see if I can change settings to make things work.
Ok, point is. I kinda want H933i to work with data again. Ya know, help a new XDA member out.

Hi; you'll have to go back to H933 Nougat as a base then re upgrade to H933i as the partition layouts are different among all. ( Between properly converting you'll want to have 4 kdz files: 2 being whatever the latest of US998 and H933 and 2 being Nougat of both. )
Whenever I had an issue; I'd go back to Nougat H933 with partition DL first so the layout gets changed properly and then afterwards I would use refurbish. (on H933)
I also noticed with our phones I had different effects with the sim card pulled and the sim card in; it worked fixing my data leaving my sim card in more then the latter I believe.
I'm also currently running H933i rooted and with TWRP so if I can backup something for you I'll definitely do so!

Thanks! It all worked out. I combined your method, and another guys thing. Just so i'm not THAT guy, here's what I did:
1. Partition DL H933 Nougat (It was so slow to download from the firmware website. So I uploaded it here)
2. Refurbished H933 Oreo
3. Dumped OP, modem, modemst1, modemst2, misc, persist, ftm, pstore, and recovery. (Reference)
4. Partition DL US988 Nougat
5. Flashed TWRP (did the format data and factory reset)
6. Turned off phone from TWRP
7. Partition DL H933 Oreo (Everything except recovery)
8. Renamed dump files (removed _COMX and replaced it with .bin)
9. Format Data and Factory reset from TWRP
10. Flashed Magisk, no-verity, and lg-rctd-disabler
11. Copied bin files to root of internal storage
12. Did this:
Code:
adb shell
dd if=/sdcard/OP.bin of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/OP
dd if=/sdcard/modem.bin of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modem
dd if=/sdcard/modemst1.bin of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst1
dd if=/sdcard/modemst2.bin of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst2
dd if=/sdcard/misc.bin of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc
dd if=/sdcard/persist.bin of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist
dd if=/sdcard/ftm.bin of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/ftm
dd if=/sdcard/pstore.bin of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/pstore
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.bin of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery
13. Rebooted into system with data.
14. I also installed Boombox V.1.3 because I couldn't deal with some of the crapware.
Thanks for the help!

Boombox ROM is very old (August 2018). Although based on H930 stock firmware, it does not have LG 2019 DTS 3D Stereo libs and does not have all the LG improved camera features, plus a lot more it's misssing. Just be aware.
Ok, a bit of backstory:
This is the Canadian Honor 5x, also known as Huawei GR5. After finally unlocking the bootloader, I was able to flash TWRP (3.3.1-0) on it. After flashing AOSIP for it, It was working mostly fine, aside from some basic apps crashing constantly (such as download manager) so I tried to flash gapps afterwards (I know this isn't how it should be done). It started to bootloop.
Then I tried the following without success:
Flashed ROM and Gapps before rebooting; Bootloops
Flashed ROM without Gapps; Works but apps crashes and no googleplay (obviously)
Sideloaded LineageOS with gapps; Same issue as first one.
Wiped Caches and data before flashing ROM (no gapps); Same as first one but crashing apps aren't crashing anymore.
The last thing I tried landed me here: I decided to do the last item on the list but also wiped System. Now I can't install or sideload anything.
Did I shoot myself in the foot here? Is it gone for good?? I need help with this.

First, you need to be on the latest stock firmware. Before unlocking the bootloader, upgrade to marshmallow to get the marshmallow firmware. You will get issues if you don't have the marshmallow firmware as all custom ROM built on that.
AOSiP was built from LineageOs.
Also note, Important note:
Stock Firmware B360 and B370 are known to cause boot loops!
(Generally: if your stock ROM supports VoLTE it is likely that it is also affected!)
All others might work, please do not ask in here how to up- or downgrade!

Note: In case you want to use any gapps, YOU MUST install the right gapps the first time that you flash a marshmallow ROM. Do not boot with an older gapps or without one and then try to install it later.

I have indeed read this on the AOSiP thread. Although instead of repeating something I was already aware of, you could specify what is VoLTE since no matter how many time I read it I wont know what it means. If its Voice Over LTE I doubt it. I don't have LTE on my carrier.

okay, sorry for not understanding you. You ain't a noob. So I should expect you did a clean install. Wiping Dalvik/ART Cache, Cache, Data, Internal Storage and System. this will give you a clean slate. And be on the latest TWRP which you already are in. If that fails, I can't help beyond that. VOLTE is Voice Over LTE. You are correct.
So I really messed up I think.
My friend - who is on vacation had borrowed my phone earlier this year, and for some reason didn't reset it properly.
Now I need it again, but I couldn't start it up, due to the phone being locked to his Gmail account.
So I went into TWRP and reset the phone, did a wipe on Dalvik/Art Cache, System, Data and Cache. Then I realized I just deleted the ROM that was previously on it, so I downloaded another ROM for the phone. But it wouldn't finish booting after starting to load the system, so I downloaded another one. This one still won't boot up after coming to the system bootup after the LG V30 Thinq logo has shown. I have tried Havoc and Liquid ROM with and without gapps.
My phone is the Korean version.
Do I need to flash some kind of Magisk or SuperSU with the ROM, or can anyone help me so I can get my phone working again?

So I went into TWRP and reset the phone, did a wipe on Dalvik/Art Cache, System, Data and Cache. Then I realized I just deleted the ROM that was previously on it, so I downloaded another ROM for the phone. But it wouldn't finish booting after starting to load the system, so I downloaded another one. This one still won't boot up after coming to the system bootup after the LG V30 Thinq logo has shown. I have tried Havoc and Liquid ROM with and without gapps.
My phone is the Korean version.

What was the previous ROM? If it was LOS-16 based, you can't replace with LOS-17 based ROM without first flashing stock Pie firmware. LOS-17 ROMS need stock Pie blobs (drivers), while the older LOS-16 ROMs need stock Oreo blobs (drivers).
That's the most common reason for what you describe and fits the timeline of you not having the phone in your hands for several months.
Yes, you do need to flash Magisk with the custom ROM and usually GAPPs as well. (Although a few ROMs come with their own GAPPS.)
Here's current LOS-16 ROM if you want to try that:

That dev makes new builds almost every day -- both for universal "H930" (all variants except T-mobile H932) and also builds specifically for T-mobile H932. That download link is for 07/16 daily build for "H930".
But there is still the matter of the account: FRP doesn't go away just by wiping in TWRP or flashing a different ROM, as far as I know.
The best solution would have been too simply log in with the previous account, then delete the account in the OS. That would release the FRP.
If you manage to boot any ROM, I would do that first thing. If your friend is far away, then give him a call. He could temporarily change his Google password to something simple, give it to you, then change it back once you have removed his account from the phone.
Edit: maybe flashing with LGUP Refurbish mode clears FRP. Do you know that, @ChazzMatt.

Is there an easy way to use that manifest? Normally it's just a ZIP file you need to flash. What it says in that guide looks like rubbish to me
Sorry for being a complete noob

Normally just go here and click on the heading of the build you want. At least on PC it starts a download. If it's not triggering a download make sure your pop up blockers are disabled. Unless something has changed there recently. @ShapeShifter499?

Do NOT choose any T-Mobile H932 builds, since you don't have that model.
