TMo V30 receiving update as of 10/30/18 - LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion

System update is rolling out to T Mobile V30's ....
October security patch.

716 megs. Must be some bug fixes in there too? Baseband version and build number (obviously) are different, still 8.0.0 and 4.4.78 kernel.

It looks like there is a camera update and some AOD updates as well. I am a bit intrigued by the new AOD options.

Is it just me or the new Outfocus (portrait) mode is broken? After I take a picture it tells me that the portrait effect couldn't be applied because it couldn't find a face in the saved picture?
P.S. Also intrigued by the ned AOD options, and fade in animation.
Edit: Fixed it by clearing data and cache.

Impossible. Just reapply magisk and TWRP.

Anyone else have issues trying to update? I've tried twice on via the on phone update both times it downloaded but reboots to just error symbol and after manual reboot says verification problem. I've also tried twice via Bridge but it seems to fail in download phase.

Wouldn't you have to go through the whole process of re-rooting it again?

You can always wait for someone to make a flash able zip of it with stock recovery removed

If you have TWRP just install Magisk again and you are back to being rooted.

I thought if bootloader was unlocked then you couldn't install an OTA and have to flash it through LG bridge or whatever the program is for flashing kdz? This was last I remember but maybe I missed something.

Right. You can't install inferior partial image OTA, if you have TWRP.
Wait for the superior full image KDZ. Flash through LGUP, DL PARTITION, but UNcheck recovery partitions to keep TWRP. At least that's how all the other V30 do it, if we don't have flashable TWRP ROM.

Thanks. I'll wait for a flashable TWRP Rom since I've not rooted my phone yet. Might as well just wait for a few days. Hope someone will post one soon.

I don't think that will work for TMobile users. We need to wait for a zip we can flash in TWRP.

Of course. You are right. Everything has a tradeoff unfortunately but OTA usually requires you to reinstall Magisk to get root back.

OTA won't even install with TWRP.
And you need TWRP to get Magisk.
Why do people keep only talking about Magisk? TWRP is why you can't and don't want to install an OTA.

Why not?
You can use LGUP, to DL PARTITION.
You can Uncheck recovery partitions.
You can then boot to TWRP. (hardware dance buttons)
You can then flash Magisk, the no encryption and no Root Check files again.
Is there something I'm missing?
Well, for people who were silly enough to replace their Download mode with 2ND copy of TWRP, NO they can't do that. You need Download mode to flash KDZ via LGUP. But everyone else with H932 can do that.

Well if you check running thread for h932 root, you will see a guy who said he wished he had a second copy of TWRP on LAF. He paid for it. Not sure what happened but when a DEV gives that type of advice, you take it.

If you flash laf again, will that bring dl mode back? I'm all gung ho to learn how to convert kdz to a flashable zip. Not sure if my linux machine has enough computing power though.

Pretty sure you can root that model check the easy root method. Im on H185T Australian and have root

Sent from my LG-H815
As I understand it the low effort root works with the SEA variant. Is there any downsides to flashing the EU image on the SEA device?
I'm a SEA variant holder here.
It's fine, you can use the Low Effort Root method. You can also flash the EU open KDZ without any problem.
You lose VoLTE, but to me it doesn't matter so I don't really care.
I'm running the latest 10E ATM, and it's much much better than 10B, so flash away.
If you don't want to loose anything you have to inject root yourself. You need linux for this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586
This guide describes how to backup your system partition to an img file.
Then you have to use linux to inject root. You will get a rooted img file.
You can then copy the file back to your system partition.
If you want to check your "dd" parameters, you can use my guide to calculate your values:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/how-to-determine-dd-parameters-lg-g4-t3184867
IMPORTANT:
Backup your files before doing this steps!
If you don't know what you are doing, wait for someone else to do it.
Download the kdz for your phone, so you can flash the stock rom if it doesn't work.
Do you have some experience with linux?
SEA Variant user here. Singapore set also. No issues when flashing in regards to rooting part.
If you just want to root, you could just take up flashing either via the Low Effort Root, or you could go for alternatives like the rooted system image that I have created or others, but make sure they are using EU OPEN KDZ in case of conflicting basebands and such.
And if you are going to upgrade to 10d/10e, I'd suggest downloading the KDZ, normal flash it, so that you can get your baseband and kernel updated before flashing the root image of your choice.

This is not a how to root a kdz.
This is how to root the system.img.
I know the guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62704051&postcount=9
I think you know what the difference is?
The kdz is a packed file which contains system, modem, boot,... files.
The system.img is an raw image of the system partition.
To root a kdz, you had to unpack it, inject root, repack it, create new checksums,....
That's a complex precess...
So I guess you don't know how to root a kdz?

You can download the latest version as a kdz.
Use this link and enter your IMEI:
Code:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=IMEI
You will get a download link.
Type
csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=
instead of
pkg03.lime.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=
to download the file.
Then you can use the LG Flash Tool to flash the kdz to your phone.
You will loose root. Don't know if you have root.
You will have to root you phone again, but with the appropriate system img.
(Or inject root yourself...)
Thank you
I tried and I got "/H81510B_00.kdz"
Same as what i have now
???
I don't have root yet anyway but wanted the latest os available.
Don't know why the latest does not appear

For your info, creating a rooted KDZ is currently not possible. If it was people would have done it already. And yes I do know the procedures to unpacking and repacking a KDZ for your info If it was possible to done it, I wouldn't be posting rooted images of just the system image itself and would have provided people with the rooted KDZ to save their time And also from what I know, I don't think there is any way for you to apply a root package in a KDZ and flash it together due to the modified md5 sum and such.

Then it seems that only V10b is available for your phone.
Other users flashed the EU image which is 10e.
But why do you need an update?
If everything is working fine you shouldn't need an update.
Thanks for the info guys. I'm going to take a few days to digest. If I can ask a quick question without starting a new thread. Does the adb backup, backup the system partition as well or just data and apps?

No adb backup can not backup your system partition.
It can only backup program settings, apps and data.
To backup your system partition, you need (the Send_Command.exe and) the "dd" command.
I have already rooted using the low effort root method. Used a pre-rooted system image. Still on 10b-SEA. everything works fine. Xposed is also working.

HK HTC10 Returning to stock rom

Hi there, I'm using Hong Kong version of htc10, i tried to root it but when i flashed supersu and xposed arm64 sdk23, it comes to stuck in the system ui interface showing that: 'System UI has stopped unexpectedly....etc.' Looping in that point. So i tried wipe all data in twrp mode and reboot again, still the same situation. Then I download a TW version of stock IMG which is 1.30.708.1(Original was 1.53.708.4) and flashed it in download mode, after that i rebooted it, everything is normal again. Fresh new welcome screen.
But there are some features that i can't use such as can't receive 4G+ signal, can't receive VoLTE, even could't use battery saving mode ....etc.
So I just want to know where can I find the STOCK IMG for my HK version CID HTC__622, which is 1.53.708.4 or so called RUU for it? Thanks.:crying::crying:

this is definitely the HK rom as after a wipe the default language is HK Chinese.
only problem is OTA does not work and when trying to manually flash the OTA manually (using TWRP and stock recovery) the check on the OTA zip passes but the system check fails so it looks like system has been modified.

Flashable Zip?
I had an update go awry, and now I can't get it to boot into anything but fastboot or twrp!
Can someone possibly make this into a flashable zip so I can install it via twrp? I'm at a loss. I can't get any of the support tools to recognize it. I can't get into download mode either. It just goes straight to twrp.
I was able to try a factory reset, but as soon as I chose 'yes' and hit the power button the second time I got the device software check error (due to unlocked bootloader) and then it goes right into twrp.
Is there anything I can do?
EDIT: I was able to get into download mode and use the LG FlashTool to get back and running **WHEW**

I haven,t tried yet, so let me ask you guys: can we jump from the 10c kdz to 10e kdz and viceversa or there is antiroll rules?
Another question, have somebody found the 10b kdz?

But the good thing about t-mobile is that rollback protection is not enabled. As a result, you can use the 10C root method, which is basically by flashing a prerooted 10c image to the tablet, to root tablet with 10e. So you can't have rooted 10e but you can root the 10e with prerooted 10c.

Safe to downgrade from 10e to prerooted 10c. Confirmed.

I had an update go awry, and now I can't get it to boot into anything but fastboot or twrp!
Can someone possibly make this into a flashable zip so I can install it via twrp? I'm at a loss. I can't get any of the support tools to recognize it. I can't get into download mode either. It just goes straight to twrp.
I was able to try a factory reset, but as soon as I chose 'yes' and hit the power button the second time I got the device software check error (due to unlocked bootloader) and then it goes right into twrp.
Is there anything I can do?
EDIT: I was able to get into download mode and use the LG FlashTool to get back and running **WHEW**

How did you do this? I have the same issue, it just reboots to TWRP. I can get to download mode, but LGUP doesn't recognize my device.

How did you get into download mode? Your problem sound similar to mine. I'm in a bootloop with TWRP installed. I tried wiping all the caches and installing iPioneer via TWRP but nothing seems to work. I even can't turn the device off so I have to un plug the battery. Can you help guide me to the forum posting that you may have used? Thank you. -Steve

Flash it with LGUP if the flashing goes wrong.
This is 100% factory stock ROM.

What is the difference between the '10c' and 10e' kdz files? I am missing something. I'm looking to flash my tablet back to stock after mistakenly accepting a OTA update (after rooting and TWRP) that sent me into a bootloop.
Thanks in advance. This forum is a life saver.

How can I get my recovery back?

Hi guys
I was trying to get TWRP on my ZE551ML (WW-2.20.40.198). In order to do that, I tried to unlock the bootloader using this guide. I don't believe it worked, though, because every time I tried to flash TWRP through Fastboot or the app, it failed.
So now, I don't have any recovery at all. If I go to the bootloader and select "RECOVERY MODE", the phone just restarts and goes to the same bootloader again. So I got neither the stock recovery, nor TWRP.
I did manage to root and install Xposed, though, both through adb. What worries me, though, is that if I mess up my phone somehow, I won't be able to flash stock firmware or a backup. I would actually prefer to have the stock recovery at this point.
What can I do? I need the stock recovery to flash the stock firmware, but I can't.
I've tried Asus Flashtool before, but it didn't work. I think maybe it's because I tried it on Windows 10, some users said it worked better with Windows 7.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
You fastboot flash stock recovery for .198 in bootloader state.

I did it, used Fastboot to flash .196 recovery.img. I can now access the stock recovery again! Thank you guys so much for the help! This was a big deal to me, I had been feeling so uncomfortable without having access to the recovery! Thank you!! Will try restoring the stock firmware tomorrow.

By the way, rather than flashing the .198 firmware again, I think it might be a good idea to flash "UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.196" from here since that will then correspond to the recovery file I flashed? Thoughts?

Should I now flash the 196 or the 198 firmware through adb? If I flash the 198, will it also restore 198 recovery? I've posted a new thread about it.
Already answered earlier at FYI above
.put MM 4-21.40.134 on internal sd and reboot
Have you not tried ?
No need for multiple threads
Ps , if don't get notification ,go to file manager and add .zip to the end so it looks like user.zip.zip save and reboot again

Oh, sorry, I didn't notice it last time around, I was too excited about getting my recovery back
But what if I don't want Marshmallow, though? If I just want to stay on Lollipop? Do I just flash 198 and that's it?

Actually, I flashed 196, and then I got 198 OTA the moment I booted . I guess that means I've got the 198 recovery too, now?
Yup , like mentioned previous , recovery will be the same from .184 lp

G4 is Finally Unlocked!

After a year of hard work, @steadfasterX has finally unlocked our device! Hopefully we'll get some new roms soon. Full thread is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/unlock-unlock-lg-g4-device-usu-t3760451
Edit: We are currently able to run any custom rom for H811 on our device! One thing is that we must do the modem flash in TWRP that steadfaster mentions in his FAQ.
Edit 2: Currently only stock Lollipop or stock Marshmallow will run on VS986 with everything working. AOSCP and other custom roms will boot but you will not pull the correct APN for Verizon and therefore will have data but no cell service including MMS or voice calls. You must have the stock MM bootloader stack flashed after you go through the UsU process for everything to work correctly and the stock MM modem.
@fates13,
I know you're trying to get Nougat working on your VS986 and it's not 100% working yet.
I suggest people wait until you get things resolved if they rely on their VS986 as their daily phone.
Please post an update here once you think everything is working. The other thread has a lot of posts since it covers other G4 models too.
Thank you
@fates13,
Were you able to get your VS986 to the point of everything worked after UsU unlock and ROM installation?

Yes but only stock MM works properly with data and cell. This can probably be fixed by a proper rom developer for our phone. Advanced calling also doesn't work properly so just waiting until @steadfasterX has time to make a UsU patched kernel for stock MM.

Are you able to boot to twrp.
If your still stuck on boot.img go to your salt back ups is located in the home folder and right click in the folder and click open in terminal put your phone in fastboot mode type in terminal "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and after that "fastboot reboot" and see if your phone boots up if you don't have the salt backup let me know

How exactly did you install TWRP? Or if you solely used magisk, how did you flash the patched_boot.img?
I was asking you about TWRP to see if you installed it. You flash all the files in fastboot. You get into fastboot by unplugging the battery wait 4 seconds plug it back in hold volume down and plug your phone in to your computer you should be in fastboot mode. You can download TWRP from the unlock Page. I will upload the pach boot.img and paste the link for TWRP later because I'm not at my computer right now. Be careful NOT to flash the aboot.img you should only flash the boot.img (once I upload it) and the recovery.img right now

Ah, different person than you were talking to before. The way I read your post, it sounded like maybe you figured out a way to sideload (if that is the correct term) the patched boot image that magisk makes without the part of the UsU method that causes "Once you go this way - there is no way back! SERIOUSLY. The only way to make the device exactly like before is replacing the mainboard. If you're scared: good." Maybe something like this: ?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/how-to-determine-dd-parameters-lg-g4-t3184867
Was just looking into my options for if I should wait until a method comes out that doesn't make a permanent alteration or if I should just go ahead and take the plunge with UsU. Your thoughts on whether that change that is made could affect me badly in the long run?

sorry about that the only way to root the latest FW is to unlock the bootloader. as long as you flow the guide and read carefully you shud be fine and if it's too scary just downgraded to LP and root that way (look on xda Verizon G4 general tab)
Has any one got calling and texting working on any costum rom for vs986?
Probably a dumb question, but I'm on 13b rooted. I read through the unlock thread and it mentions MM is required and anti rollback <=2. My ARB value is currently 2. Can I just use LGUP to flash stock MM? Will this preserve my ARB value?
