When you say "any", please give a couple of examples.
What stock Oreo US998 firmware are you on, and did you update to it correctly?
LOS 16 and 17 , RR and US99830b Stock all of them only stuck at boot logo / animation
I refurbish us99820h then partition dl h933 10g then partition dl us99820h flash twrp then flash lineage and us99830b flashable zip and now i stay at us99820h

I don't know why you can't run LOS-16 ROMs, but did you try those AFTER you tried to flash stock Pie or before? If you had stayed on latest Oreo there should be no problems flashing LOS-16 ROMs, but once you try to flash Pie that permanently changes your phone whether you are successful or not.
Try this tip for LOS-16 ROMs:

The LOS-17 ROMs require updating to stock Pie first or it won't boot. The LOS-17 ROMs have a few problems right now... They are a work in progress, and issues will be solved, but right now not many are using as daily driver:

Bugs on Android 10 and their solution:
1. Hotspot only works on open i.e. no security
2. Wifi may or May not work for you
If it doesn't work then try:-
1. Flash oreo modem
2. If oreo modem doesn't work then use this fix: https://t.me/LGV30U/150
even both these steps may not fix the wifi for some.
3. Recent Google Maps doesn't work, use Google maps go or older google maps version like 10 or .84
4. Google chrome works only on Gapps with Webview patched like Nikgapps
5. Doesn't work on H932 yet, no workaround for that.
6. Videos don't play on some messenger apps like whatsapp on recent builds.

If you DO update to stock Pie then that degrades your ability to run LOS-16 ROMs even when you downgrade back to stock Oreo. You have to run permissive kernel for camera/flashlight and other stuff may not work. This warning is all in the Root Sticky thread, which you read -- because it's clearly linked near start of WTF Instructions.

For US998 30b stock Pie, there are 4 methods listed to get there, the main one in post #2 of the US998 30b KDZ thread and then 3 workarounds down in post #6 of that thread (two of those need TWRP). If you can't get to US998 stock Pie 30b, then you have to wait for another US998 Pie KDZ to be released. This one seems wonky.
But all this is clearly stated in the US998 Pie KDZ thread. I'm confused why you opened ANOTHER THREAD when your question is already answered in Pie KDZ thread. At least the part about being stuck on LG/ThinQ logo...
I easily upgraded my spare V30+ to stock Pie (not even signed in with my Gmail account), but on my main V30+ I am still on latest Oreo -- on purpose. I don't see any improvements in stock Pie I need at this point in time. It's the same camera, the same look to the GUI. Besides that, I'm already running rooted stock firmware, Nova launcher + wallpaper + icon pack + I have Magisk and Xposed mods set up for what I want.
Pie isn't any faster nor have better battery life than last Oreo. Once US998 Pie improves I may switch to Pie, but right now I see no need for my daily phone.
I am struggled flashing the Android 10 cook rom in my LG V30 North American variant, specifically US998 model. Of course there is nothing wrong at flashing process. No crashing, no bootlooping, everything processed pretty well until I kept getting Wifi issue all the time. I attempted various of solutions like Jeff's backup, Oreo Modem, and other kinds of solution but no luck. And of course, I won't have any ability to access to Wifi if I kept on using Q ROM. I am just a newbie here so I don't know if it happened on Pie as well, but currently, I am running Havoc OS 2.9, and it worked perfectly fine. I flashed straight through Pie KDZ, so I'm afriad if it made permanent change to my device that prevented the Wifi to work ( Yes I already read the note, and it said to LOS 16 based rom, but I am running fine, nothing happened lol )
So am I permanently not able to use any kind of Android Q ROM Cook anymore, or am I able to get Wifi to work if I kept waiting and waiting for a completed stable version? Ty
Android 10 is completely stable tho, wifi is a hit and miss, try to downgrade to H933 and upgrade to stock pie, then flash android 10 again, nougat always seemed to fix stuffs, canada variant in particular, look in ChazzMatt's threads for flashing stock pie, there is a workaround about how to flash H933 nougat
Wait. Do I need to flash directly from LOS-16 based to Nought Partition DL and then flash KDZ to Pie, or stock Oreo first then Nought?

Here are the links about H933 nougat downgrade, try it, apply the Q wifi fixes if necessary and let us know how it went
Nvm. I have no idea how stupid I am ?.
The thing is, I did put the Jeff's backup folder on TWRP folder, but I cant get why I did put it straight to backup folder but not the folder with my model printed in the title. There is a folder inside the backup folder, I put it in there, and I got Wifi. How strange it is lol
Anyway, thanks a lot for your support
I got an odd problem going on here..... So i used lgup to update to a newer firmware worked fine booted fine so decide okay im ready to flash twrp & do so with no problem. got all the encryption stuff out of the way & was ready to flash a new rom so i do it. I reboot my device & ive tried this with 2 roms they both bootloop & ontop of that i flashed the zip version of the kdz us998 everything flashed fine. Reboot. Same thing bootloop so now i say okay im just gunna go back to stock but now the firmware update or download mode will not connect no matter what i do & i had just used it with no problem i think the zipped kdz flashed something that is making it unable to communicate. I cant see any way out of this im bricked but i got recovery theres gotta be something i can do. appreciate any kind of help thanks
Even though you wrote a lot, regrettably you give very little useful information. And you have almost one long run-on sentence. Makes it hard to read.
First, what variant do you have? Do you have a US998? Or did you previously have another version -- like AT&T H931 or Canada H933, which you converted to US998? As you know, you can't just flash LOS custom ROMs to those two variants without extra prep steps. Read the V30 custom ROMs FAQ -- which you were told to read when you used the WTF instructions.
Were you trying to flash LOS-16 ROMs or LOS-17 based ROMs? You need to be on last stock Oreo firmware for LOS-16 and on stock Pie firmware for LOS-17 ROMs. You said you flashed "newer" KDZ firmware, but don't say WHAT you flashed.
Nor do you say which ROMs you tried to flash.
Later, you say you flashed zip version of US998 firmware. WHAT zip version did you flash? 20d, 20e, 20f, 20g, 20h, 30b?
Flashing US998 Oreo 20e zip will give you download back. Boot into TWRP and flash that. But you need Magisk 18.x or you may bootloop. If you have later version, uninstall Magisk in TWRP and reinstall 18.x.
And answer all the questions.

The OTA Pie update keeps breaking my phone (stuck on Verizon loading screen). The first time, I believe I downloaded VS99620k_02_0510_ARB00.kdz and used LGUP Dual Mode to replace the OS since nothing else worked, not even resets. (I also tried stock Pie and had the same issue as the OTA upgrade.) I kept skipping the update every day until last month, I guess it was accepted accidentally because next thing I knew, I was stuck on the Verizon loading screen again. Haven't wanted to deal with it and have been using my tablet for calls and texts. But I do need a working phone.
This time, I decided to go ahead and follow https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76584629&postcount=193. I used the Frankenstein instructions to go from VS996 to US998 20a and am now running Oreo and unlocked bootloader, etc. What is the next step? I believe I need to go back to VS because I have Verizon. The current Oreo doesn't function properly (can't make calls, glitches, random reboots). Which Oreo ROM should I download? Or can I use the KDZ I already have? I've found many ROMs and info but I don't want to just guess.
edit: the zip link here doesn't work https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/development/rom-fw-lg-v30-joan-verizon-vs996-21f-t3865671. john-fawkes.com doesn't load. I guess I'll just do the previous version on AFH?
Also, what can I do to prevent this happening in the future? Verizon update reminded me every day about updating with an annoying popup and I always said to remind me the next day, but I don't want it to get accepted accidentally again. I wish it had an option to say no! Maybe there's something now that I'm rooted?

Your next step is Section 9 of the WTF Instructions. You got through Section 6 but didn't finish. Section 9 is about updating firmware.
You would choose the Verizon Pie TWRP flashable zip (i.e. stock ROM which can be installed with TWRP). You would re-flash Magisk and can even update to newer version of Magisk. Once on that, you won't get any update reminders.

I tried that. As I said in my post, the problem is that the linked zip doesn't work, so I didn't know what to do. I ended up going with a previous version (J instead of K) and got calling, etc. back but still had problems with it randomly restarting. I plugged it into the wall charger to charge and woke up to it not turning on at all, even connected to the computer. It's totally dead. Now what? The cord works with my tablet so it's not the cord.

Hmmmm..
The link is wrong. For some reason goes to Oreo 20k. Sorry. Should go to Pie. I'll have to fix it tonight when I get home from work.
Go to Verizon Pie TWRP flashable zip and install that. I know you find it. It's in the Developers section, both in my KDZ thread and standalone John Fawkes thread. Google if you have to.
I have separate threads for VS996 Oreo and Pie KDZ, and they also include TWRP flashable zips.

Thanks, but since my phone no longer turns on, shows charging, or connects to the computer, I'm not sure what to do. I can't boot into recovery or anything. I'm guessing it's bricked? Wish I knew what had happened overnight to mess it up.
I did Google it and search the forums. For example, here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/development/vs996-lg-v30-verizon-vs996-t3865398 the flashable zip goes to john-fawkes.com, which "can't be reached" (doesn't load).

Both of those are latter Oreo. I don't know why they didn't work for you.
Here are the VS996 Pie (30c) TWRP flashable zips, found using simple forum search:
* LG V30 VS996-30c ROM (John Fawkes)
* [VS996][STOCK][PIE]LG V30 VS99630c_00_0904_ARB00.KDZ
See post #2 of that thread. Has both LG KDZ and John Fawkes TWRP-flashable zip with instructions on how to install, as well as compatible Dev Patched LGUP for Pie, if you need to install KDZ instead of TWRP flashable zip.
* [ROM][VS996] Verizon LG V30 Pie 30c Debloated Rom
Debloated version of 30c by another dev. But you must FIRST be on full 30c (either JohnFawkes TWRP flashable zip or full KDZ) before flashing this via TWRP to then remove stuff.
None of the John Fawkes links worked on my laptop... But one seemed to have worked on my tablet just now....not sure what that's about.
Pie does not work on my phone and is what screws it up, so I do not want it.
Most importantly, as I said before, my phone no longer turns on, charges, or connects to the computer so I cannot upgrade/update Oreo. The links are a moot issue now.
I do not know what happened as it was working and charging when I went to sleep. I just noticed that I think I used my tablet's charger, so maybe the battery was shot during the night?
Hi!
I have a VS996 with an unlocked bootloader and TWRP. I went from stock, did a full wipe (Dalvik, System, Data, Internal Storage, Cache), and tried flashing Havoc-OS (Android 10) and had issues with connecting to Wifi. So I went back to JohnFauxes VS996 flashable and now I don't have data or a working camera. Not sure what's going on here. Ideas?

Went from stock what? Stock Oreo, Stock Pie? You have to be on stock Pie to go to LOS-17/Android 10 ROMs. LOS-17 requires LG stock Pie blobs (drivers). Yes, some have Wi-Fi connection issues. There are workarounds.
Went back to JohnFauxes VS996 flashable what? Last Pie, last Oreo? Something in between?
Going from LOS-17 back to stock you will have sensor issues which can be overcome by running in permissive mode. Other ways to overcome it is to Partition DL back to Nougat to scrub the device of all lingering LOS-17 ROM scentk, then upgrade back to newer firmware. If you don't want to do that then you need to run in permissive mode for camera to work.
I don't know what's wrong with your data.

Went from stock Verizon Pie ROM, to Havoc 10 Q. Then from Havoc 10Q to latest John Fauxes Verizon Pie. I'm not sure how to run in permissive mode or the partition DL I'm afraid.
Glad to have you replying. My goal is to have Android 10 Q on my wife's Verizon phone. Not sure if the 'call to activate modem' bug still exists, to where you can't receive texts unless you call after reboot.

(Ignore that in some of those posts they are are calling it Q ROMs. It's Android 10. Q was merely the beta letter name for what became Android 10, and some people don't want to give that up for some reason. "N" letter beta became Nougat, "O" letter beta became Oreo, "P" letter beta became Pie, "Q" letter beta became... Android 10. Yes, Google ditched the dessert name, but STILL you no longer use the beta letter name when it graduates and gets a statue in the Google Android Park. Call it "10" if you wish, but don't call it "Q." That's like calling a butterfly a "caterpillar". That was just the beta stage of the butterfly!)
____
The major problem you are going to have with V30 Android 10 ROMs is VoLTE -- or rather the lack of it. Read #5 of the V30 Custom ROMS FAQ. End of this year -- 2020 -- Verizon is dropping CDMA. They were supposed to do it end of 2019, but delayed a year. I don't see them delaying again. This means when you make a phone call you will not be able to drop down temporarily from 4G LTE to 3G CDMA for the phone call. You will need VoLTE (Voice over LTE) for all phone calls. Stock firmware has this capability. However, no V30 LOS-based custom ROMs have VoLTE for any carriers.
On V30 you can only get VoLTE on stock firmware or custom ROMs built on stock firmware.
This is September 2020. So, while you can use V30 Android 10 ROMs, in about 3 months you will have to go back to at least rooted stock Verizon firmware to get VoLTE.
T-mobile is dropping 3G HSPA in January 2021. Of the major U.S. carriers, 0nly AT&T is holding out. They will drop HSPA in February 2022.
Discussed in depth here:
All U.S. V30/V3O+/V30S will need stock firmware, not LOS-based custom ROMs. When?

Thanks for all the info. So I think I should go for your clean flash method by setting a partition, because I tried the WiFi fix and it forced me into Safe Mode and wouldn't otherwise boot. I think I found a flashable stock Nougat ROM, after which I intend to flash MSM Extended and get that working hopefully. So do I create a new partition in TWRP, use that for Nougat then empty the previous partition, flash Android 10 to it and get rid of Nougat again after that? Never done this before.
And setting permissive mode is done through a separate APK? Your link went to a post talking about how they used an unlinked APK to get camera and flashlight to work.

I can't say I'm familiar with that MSM Extended ROM. I do see it listed in the LG V30 Telegram Update channel.
If you found a working flashable stock Nougat ROM (there were two versions floating around -- one that kept TWRP and one that replaced TWRP with stock recovery) which keeps TWRP, then after using that you can flash back to stock Pie with TWRP flashable zip (you need Pie blobs for LOS-17 based ROMs), then install the LOS-17 based ROM/Android 10 ROM of your choice.
I'm confused about your question of creating a new partition. All you will be doing is flashing back to Nougat to ostensibly repair previous LOS-17 effects. Then flashing back to stock Pie firmware, then flashing your choice of LOS-17 based ROM.
The only people who create new partitions are those who want to use GSI (Treble) ROMs. Those ROMs are inferior and rely upon a user-created "Treble" partition since V30 never had official Treble. Those GSI ROMs lack many stock V30 features which "regular" LOS-based ROMs have.

I'm hoping I found the Nougat ROM that keeps TWRP here. When you mentioned "Partition DL back to Nougat" I took that as me needing to create a partition somewhere. Also I did indeed find MSM Extended on the Telegram Channel here.
All's I know is I need to get my wife's phone working before I go to bed (night shift), else she's gonna kick my ass for wiping it in the first place thinking I could just pop Android 10 on there. Ha. So whatever I need to do, I'll do it.

When I mentioned going back to Nougat via Partition DL I was talking about going back to full stock KDZ, not using a Nougat TWRP-flashable zip. Doing it the old-school way I was suggesting is harder but more thorough. You would use Dev Patched LGUP to go back to Nougat, wiping out TWRP. You would still have unlocked bootloader. Then you would LGUP to a Pie KDZ which has fastboot flash commands, then reinstall TWRP, reformat internal memory, then flash an Android 10 ROM.
Your way is easier.

That link is to JohnFawkes 20k, which is Oreo. Nougat starts with 10 then letter.
Nougat = 10 + letter
Oreo = 20-something + letter
Pie = 30-something + letter (except for Sprint which didn't go by the LG naming rules)
The Nougat TWRP flashable zips were released in the Telegram thread.

When I mentioned going back to Nougat via Partition DL I was talking about going back to full stock KDZ, not using a Nougat TWRP-flashable zip. Doing it the old-school way I was suggesting is harder but more thorough. You would use Dev Patched LGUP to go back to Nougat, wiping out TWRP. You would still have unlocked bootloader. Then you would LGUP to a Pie KDZ which has fastboot flash commands, then reinstall TWRP, reformat internal memory, then flash an Android 10 ROM.
Your way is easier.

Okay... I'm nervous. So you think I can do it without messing up recovery? Darn it.
Could I be so bold as to ask you if you have an instant messenger of some sort? I would greatly appreciate it!!

Flash back to 20K Oreo for now. Use the Permission changer app to make it be "permissive" so camera works OK.
That Oreo is stable. You don't need Pie for now -- if you just want to make the phone work.
If it works, then you can flash back to Pie TWRP flashable zip later if you wish.
In the future you can find the Nougat TWRP flashable zip posted in the Telegram thread.
I'm about to take a shower and go to work. Sorry I can't do Messenger app.
