    Post LG G8 ThinQ Sprint is rolling Android 10 final

    So, my phone updated to this last night and I'm pretty pissed about it. The theme I paid for is no longer compatible, so that's neat. The recents app switcher is now oriented horizontally instead of vertically apple style so you can only see 1 or 2 apps at a time while scrolling vs like 5+. And...

    Post (WTF...!) LG V30/V30+/V30S Bootloader Unlock & Root Method (With Clear Instructions)

    I flashed Magisk numerous times, including after every single image I flashed in TWRP.. Is there any way to get back to TWRP now? Computer doesn't see my phone enough to use use patched LGUP or adb at this point. E: Was able to get back into TWRP. Redoing this process again. Cleared system...

    Post (WTF...!) LG V30/V30+/V30S Bootloader Unlock & Root Method (With Clear Instructions)

    Yeah I thought to try that which has apparently ****ed up things good and proper like now. TWRP said something about encryption when i flashed another KDZ file, something about the password being correct but encryption corrupting data. Now the phone boots, and goes to the :Decryption...

    Curious if anyone has ideas on this. Flashlight still doesn't work (currently on 20h), and opening the camera app freezes the phone until I do a power+vol down reboot...

    Post (WTF...!) LG V30/V30+/V30S Bootloader Unlock & Root Method (With Clear Instructions)

    Hey guys, thanks so much for this writeup! I was able to make it through and get the Oreo KDZ flashed to my phone, and things seem relatively ok though I've been coming across some weird behaviors now. The first time I booted, the phone was refusing to allow me to toggle wifi on. As soon as I...

    Post Is there a way I can upgrade my V30 without root?

    Thank you! I did download LGUP and Uppercut, but my machine is telling me that I do not have permission to access the uppercut .exe, I'm guessing it has to do with Windows trying to block it. When I open LGUP (installed as LGUP_Store_Frame_Ver_1_14_3.msi), it throws error LGUP can't load the...

    Thread Is there a way I can upgrade my V30 without root?

    Hello, I bought my unlocked V30 used from Swappa last year, and it's a great phone. However, it's still on Android 7.1.2 and when I check for updates via the phone settings, it says nothing is available. I'm using it on Cricket Wireless as my carrier, and I know there's gotta be a newer version...

    Even though the download for those says for H930?

    Post (WTF...!) LG V30/V30+/V30S Bootloader Unlock & Root Method (With Clear Instructions)

    Can anyone confirm if this will work on a Korean 'test model' LG-US998, kernel 4.4.63, software version US99810c and Android version 7.1.2?

    Post [US998] Bootloader Unlock Achieved!!!

    Yeah, I was pissed about that whole situation with my G5 and now this... Damn shame, I like what LG has on their phones but this bootloader BS is making me want to ditch them and go to Xiaomi or some other unlock friendly platform.

    So do I keep it and forgo any possibilities from root? I dunno.

    Post [US998] Bootloader Unlock Achieved!!!

    Yeah, just 'unlocked raspberry rose' color. They are a member here but I won't call them out unless they want to participate; it's not their fault, the phone works exactly as described. I just didn't have the IMEI number to look up prior to buying it and seeing that it's a test model. It is...

    Post [US998] Bootloader Unlock Achieved!!!

    That really sucks. I bought this specifically so I could root it. Do I have any options other than buying ANOTHER one that isn't a demo unit?

    Post [US998] Bootloader Unlock Achieved!!!

    Hey guys, does this still work? I just got my US998 from a member on here today and it appears something isn't right with trying to unlock this. I did the steps in the OP/LG unlock guide and get this: What is this (TEST_GPIN) all about? Am I SOL? If it's relevant: my software version is...

    Thread Thinking about getting a V30+. Question regarding H930 vs H930DS

    Hey guys, I'm thinking about getting a V30, but I want the Lavender Violet colour so the 930DS appears to be the only option for me. However, I definitely would like to root it but I'm not getting any search results in the ROM section for 'H930DS'. Can I assume that any root/ROM software/methods...
