Give us more information.
What V30 variant do you have? You can't just say my LG V30. There's two or three dozen different variants. They all don't act alike.
WHY do you have no OS? Did you accidentally wipe everything in TWRP?
Do you know what TWRP is? Have you tried restoring the recent TWRP backup you always create before you make any changes?
Were you bootloader unlocked, rooted?
What last OS did you have before this tragedy? Stock? If so, WHAT? LOS custom ROM? If so, what?
Basic answer without knowing anything, is if you have TWRP -- drag over compatible TWRP flashable zip (i.e. stock ROM) while in TWRP GUI and flash it as well as Magisk.
If you don't have TWRP, flash compatible KDZ in Dev Patched LGUP found in any of the Pie KDZ threads. Use Refurbish mode.

I have a unlocked and rooted LG G5 (H850 EU variant) with TWRP installed. As I already read in other threads, I can not install with OTA anymore.
I want NFC and glance screen to work so I suppose I need to stick with the stock ROM. Also since I use Xposed, I don't want to update to Nougat for now. Is there any flashable ZIP that I can flash from TWRP with latest Marshmallow ROM? Is this the preferred way or should I rather use LGUp? What do I need to choose not to do a factory reset?
I highly recommend you to update to Nougat, as it is very stable and fluid (from my experience).
Here's the flashable zip for Android Marshmallow: (P.S. not sure if this is the latest version)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/stock-h850-10e-eu-rom-flashable-zips-t3448273
Here's the flashable zip for Nougat:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/stock-h850-20a-eu-rom-flashable-zips-t3506514
USE THEM ON YOUR OWN RISK.
You shouldn't worry about about not using LG UP,
As the zip files contains everything necessary for the update process including: modem, bootloader, etc. (Except the recovery partition, to keep TWRP in tact)
I've updated yesterday to nougat though TWRP, and all was perfect, I didn't do even a factory reset, and preserved root and data partition unencrypted (flashing an extra .zip), so I too advise you to make the upgrade.
pd.: Not OTA nor LGUP worked for me
Hi,
I want to install twrp in my 5x l24 us version. I read some threads here at XDA about twrp and rooting of honor 5x. But I am not sure where to start. I am hoping that someone here can guide me a little. I currently have emui 4.0 with marshmallow official from huawei.
My questions are:
1. Should I make nan droid backup of my phone before proceeding to install twrp? I am not sure what exactly is nan droid backup.
2. Is there any risk of device being bricked during the installation of twrp?
3. I read a thread named twrp for l24 l22 l23 and so on.. Does this method work anymore? Because I see users complaining about some twrp issues.
4. What are the safety measures I should do before doing any rooting, flashing?
Note - I don't do much rooting or flashing stuff that's why I am asking here. Thank you in advance

It's all already answered, but OK.
0. You must unlock your bootloader before any of those,
1. you can try just booting into TWRP (fastboot boot recovery.img) and try backing up everything from there. I'm not sure that one works, I simply flashed TWPR and continued backing up from there,
2. No way you can brick it if you go by instructions; follow simple instructions from TWRP thread == recovery flash without issues. This device is flash-friendly
3. This one? That would be an official TWRP thread, so... it works, my L21 is on latest 3.1.1 build.
4. Always have a backup and don't flash anything you're not sure it will work and that's it. So, you've freshly flashed TWRP, first thing would be to make a system backup, that way, if anything goes wrong with rooting or custom ROMs, you can always go back to stock one without hastle.
Hope that helped.

Hey I had EMUI 4.0 so Android 6.0.1 installed. So I unlocked bootloader and installed twrp without doing a backup. But now there is a big problem. No custom Roms will ever boot. So I cant boot to any rom and don't have a backup.

Um, you did a clean install? I see you're from Germany, so I guess you're using KIW-L21 model, which is fully compatible with all ROMs out there (and it still didn't receive VoLTE update if I'm not wrong). Try clearing everything and flashing again, if not, restore stock recovery via fastboot and do a emergency reflash of full EMUI firmware.

Yes I did a clean install with Aosp Rom, LineageOS, Ressurection remix, XenonHD Rom but every Rom encpountered a bootloop where the animation ran for 10 seconds and then stopped. After that the phone rebooted and so on . And do you have a link for flashable L21 EMUI stock rom? And stock firmware only installable with stock recovery or TWRP?
I also encountered this situation, how to solve, help me! Thank you

Can u explain what u did clearly ?
I am from HK, forgive my bad english please...
I just buy a UK version v30 (H930)
I have a few question about:
1) I hope to use android 8.0. can I upgrade the phone to last version of H930? my phone version now is 7.1.2 V10v-EUR-XX
2) I found some reply in https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/help/unlocking-rooting-twrp-magisk-step-step-t3745006 seems telling me that after rooted, I can't reboot the phone, otherwise the TWRP will lose, that means lost root? and I need to install TWRP and Root again every time.
3) after upgrade to android 8.0, can I just follow https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/help/unlocking-rooting-twrp-magisk-step-step-t3745006 #1 to root?
thanks for read & help!!!
Your question is simply a TWRP question.
After installing TWRP custom recovery, you have to then immediately boot to TWRP and enable it. If you boot back to regular OS first, TWRP doesn't stick. That's all that warning means.
Once in TWRP that's when you flash the root method of your choice, Magisk or SuperSu.
See this post for bootloader unlock, TWRP, root. You already have H930 so you're already one step ahead:

thank you for your prompt reply, I am now upgrading.
I can found the fake unlocked bootloader in your article, sounds great!!
one more question, can I use the download link with https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/development/h930-lg-v30-european-market-h930-t3779076 as Oreo H930 KDZ?

Yes that's the one you use for H930 with that attached LGUP to upgrade to Oreo.
Hello all,
I have a Verizon LG V30 that I converted to a US998 LG V30 using the Frankenstein method. Today, I clicked the Uninstall option in Magisk Manager and the device uninstalled it and rebooted. Upon rebooting, I was thrown into Fastboot mode with no way to get out (No Recovery, nothing.) I tried resetting through Fastboot to no avail. It still connects with Fastboot but nothing else. I can flash firmware with the patched LGUP but no file I have tried has worked. Is there anyway I can flash my V30 back to Stock VS996? Thank you.

Why isn't there a way to get into Recovery? Use the same fastboot commands you got into recovery the first time you installed TWRP. You can even use those commands to boot to TWRP on your phone even when TWRP is not installed on your phone, via "temp" TWRP.
Since you uninstalled root, you can't use the Reboot Recovery app anymore -- as that requires root access -- but you can still use the fastboot flash commands.

Yes, go into Download mode manually and use dev patched LGUP to flash VS996 Oreo KDZ with DL Partition method. Flash all partitions. Not sure why you are doing that however. You decided you don't want to own your phone anymore?
People who want to KEEP root and TWRP and go back to VS998 would use DL Partition method -- but UNtick the partition recovery partitions. Then you would still have VS996 but with TWRP. You would no longer have fastboot flash commands, but you would still have TWRP custom recovery. Then you just flash Magisk root. So you would have VS998 with TWRP and root.
And at that point you could even use the reboot recovery app with root to always easily get to TWRP.

Thank you very much. I am booting up my ADB and Fastboot to flash TWRP, as I still at least have an unlocked boot loader. I’ll download a Oreo KDZ for the Verizon Variant if that doesn’t work out. Do you have any sources for one on the forums? Thank you!
EDIT: Once I get into recovery, should I flash a stock ROM? There are a few on the ROMs section of the forums but I do not non which one to download.

1) Do your want to keep TWRP and root and just flash back to VS996 (while keeping TWRP and root)?
2) Or do you want to just keep TWRP but you don't want root right now?
If #1, once in TWRP, reflash Magisk.
Then reboot, and go into manual download mode BEFORE opening the patched LGUP. Then Frankenstein back to VS996 with DL PARTITION method, but untick (uncheck) the recovery partitions. Then you'll be back to VS996, but still have TWRP and be rooted.

Don't mind my other comment, I fixed what was going on there for the most part. I have tried 2 different firmware files and both of them will not boot. The Official LG Boot image (flashable with TWRP) flashed with no errors, but i just booted into download mode again. I also flashed LineageOS and the same thing happened. I tried the Refurbish and Upgrade option through LGUP and both stopped at 19% with error 0x2000. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you.

Same thing happened to mine I found no fix other then to lie to both Sprint and LG till LG agreed to take it in and fix it...
Stock US996 twrpable zip firmware for the lg v20 is here. My phone is already rooted with magisk, bootloader unlocked, and has twrp installed.
I formatted my phone using twrp, and rebooted into recovery mode. I then flashed the US99610P firmware (as it is the most up to date in the list at the time). As soon as I reboot into the system, the "phone is corrupt and unable to boot" warning pops up and it's now in an endless bootloop.
I have flashed VS996 12A firmware with lgup patched to get the phone back to a working state.
TLDR: bootlooping lg v20 in part due to the US996 firmware. How do I flash US unlocked stock firmware on this device through twrp?
Flash it with partition DL using patched lg up. You can't just crossflash the vs995 to us996 with twrp due to the different partition layout. And this is not the correct section to post this in.

I did. Flashing using lgup patched works fine when on stock firmware. The issue is when I'm rooted and have twrp installed.
This happened as well when flashing custom roms as well.
