H931 AOSP or LOS roms? - LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion

Heyo! Just recently rooted my H931 by following first the Frankenstein guide, then the WTF guide.
Anyways, I've tried both RR and LOS roms on the phone, and both end up being a bootloop. LGUP says its recognized as a US998, thanks to the frankenstein guide, so I figured Id have been able to use those kinds of custom roms.
So, has anyone with an AT&T lg v30 (h931) had any success with AOSP or LOS roms? If not, do we have any idea what causes the bootloops?

what error show in twrp? (i.e los rom is vendor mount error for some devices)
and dirty flash or clean flash

The problem is well known. Its just bootlooping....
Idk why yet, logs dont really show anything, atleast i dont see it

I'm not sure the Los rom I used needed a vendor repartition, because I was given no errors when flashing.
I'm terms of clean/dirty, for both roms I did a clean flash I think. Factory reset and wipe through twrp, then flash.

So, I think, and I'm probably wrong, that what's causing these bootloops is in the kernel. I don't have any logs to back this up, but I flashed the Lunar Kernel you can find here on this site, and my phone would boot up, then instantly shut back off. Not the same as a bootloop, but it just makes me think that whatever custom kernel is being used for AOSP or Los rooms has some sort of incompatibility with the H931
Maybe they're two entirely unrelated issues though.

I remember reading in a other thread that the kernel performs a firmware check against the devices ID before booting and that our att Franken phones still say they are a different phone somewhere. I believe it's just an aosp/Los thing because LG probably doesn't check the device type when installed as they perform the version control at the install level (ie. there are different kernels for different models rather than all using the same one)

If anything, we could try to develop an aosp/Los kernel specifically for the att franken phones, and test that out.. it's probably no walk in the park to do so, though. I have no experience doing that kind of stuff either, so I'm not much help.

I was browsing forum posts for custom roms, and it seems some people have had luck flashing a custom room over 20a us998 stock firmware, versus 20b. I'm going to try this out on the H931, see if that works

You probably shouldn't install US998 KDZ onto European H931, if that is what you are suggesting.

Nah, At&t h931. After flashing 20a, and then flashing an aosp room (dotos), it still bootloops. In other words, no luck.

What was the order of flashing when you flashed the kernel? The v20 had an issue similar and i had to flash the rom then kernel + gapps & root then reboot.

E988 users, have you managed to flash a custom ROM?

I've observed that quite a few people with the model number E988 have been having trouble in the modding(?) process. Mostly from due to unlocking and flashing a custom recovery via FreeGee (no offense intended to the maker of FreeGee)
So out of curiosity, before I have to unecessarily attempt the dreadful Recovery process again, have any of you guys managed to flash a custom ROM on your E988? If so, how?
(sorry mods if this is in the wrong forum).
I have flashed and used almost all the roms available in the original dev section.......no problems what so ever...... only one rom was problematic....... that is the PA port........ though not mandatory, keep the modem zip handy.......
Sent from my LG-E988 using xda app-developers app
Install cwm and disable lg security via freegee...and install rom without flashing modem is ok...working..only change apn..
But you can't back to stock rom without flashing kdz..
Once you reboot you can install rom via cwm but can not enter stock rom...

FreeGee works fine on E988. I own one (Indian variant) and I can vouch for it. All you have to do is select "No" on the disable LG security option. CWM will get installed just fine. And since the FreeGee recovery is lokified, you are good to go for any rom including 4.3 ones. Like I said in my previous reply, I have used almost all the roms available in the Original DEV section. Only the PA port causes issues with the signal reception. Rest all work fine. If you are facing problems, be specific and I will try to help.....

I own G Pro e988 and want to flash Cyanogenmod 11.
Can you describe the steps of using the FreeGee app? And what stock firmware should I use with the freegee app. Should I flash stock Jellybean, root and the install FreeGee?
For know I am on stock kitkat (e98820c_twn_XX) and freegee don't work.
Thank you!

Downgrade bootloader without flashing entire kdz?

Is there a way to downgrade the bootloader without flashing an entire kdz?
I tried fastboot flash and dd an aboot.img extracted from a 4.4 kdz but I still get secure boot error.
Does anyone know if using the 4.4 bootloader on the F460 (NOT f400) will work with bumped images like the other models?
Also is it possible to download old kdz files from LG servers? Its almost impossible to find old F460 kdz, the few I found I'm not entirely confident in their integrity.
Is aboot.img the only image you tried to manually flash? There is also a boot.img you could also try flashing.

I thought boot.img is just the kernel? I flashed a bumped version of the stock boot I pulled from my phone. That's working fine hasn't broken anything.
Is a non stock boot.img necessary just to install recovery?
You're right, boot.img is the kernel. Ignore what I said previously.
You could use the app autorec to "unlock" your bootloader. It essentially does the same thing you are trying to do; downgrade the bootloader.

I wish. There is virtually no support for the F460 from anyone. I'm trying to port stuff to it and I already have test builds ready but I can't even run them. I followed the assumed method of autorec manually but it doesn't seem to work. I'm probably missing a few small but important details.

Just to make it clear, you flashed your latest stock rom with LGUP right, because is changes all the partitions not just /system.

Flashing custom ROMs, Issues

I have been trying to get an answer for quite a while and no one has replied so I'm going to make my own thread.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S9(SM-G960F) 64GB, Running 8.0 Oreo and the current build number I am on is G960FXXU2BRGA_G960FOXM2BRGA_BTU.
My issue is that I cannot flash any custom ROMs onto my phone without it getting stuck on the "S9 secured by knox" splashscreen on boot. It does not bootloop or anything it just stays on that screen.
I have heard many things about the fact that BRE5 vendor is needed to flash custom ROMs but I cannot find anything anywhere on how I get this vendor.
Can somebody please help me?
Thanks

Not sure what your specific issues is....but latest flashable vendor files are on this site. Plus....look for Soldier9312 development Discussions in Cross Device Devolpment here on S9 Forums.

So if I installed BRH4 that would allow me to flash ROMs? At the moment I can only assume its the build that I'm on that is stopping me from doing so

You are not giving much info. Start over. If you updated firmware, then you need to flash a ROM that is also using latest firmware. Just flashing a firmware update is not going to fix anything. Don't know what else to tell you. From your first post, you were on BRGA. I'm guessing latest firmware not compatible with your current ROM.
When my setups for whatever reason are in a really bad state, I do the following:
From TWRP recovery, I use the format tab and answer YES to the Format process. I then go back and under advance wipe, click on all the caches, data, system, and even internal storage. You can try without wiping Internal storage, but if you were coming from total stock, then I would also wipe that. Now flash a ROM and you should be fine. Not here to tout any one ROM. I have used a slew of them and again, not here to promote any single ROM as "the best".

So I'm now back on the stock firmware that I was originally on which is BRGA. Whenever I flash a rom I always format data just to be safe but I tried flashing RR and dotsOS and the BH4 rom that the other member suggested and none of them worked. I downloaded the stock firmware from sammobile it's the UK one

AOSP ROMs IMHO have issues. Use a Samsung based ROM, and generally no issues. Your choice. I do NOT push any one ROM. I currently am on TGP...The Galaxy Project you can look up in Cross Device Development.

Well firstly it's done on a old version of odin with the old layout of firmware files, which won't work. And if it did work there's a high chance there's no custom roms for A22.
