LG G5 Volte? - LG G5 Questions & Answers

I read on a forum post that technically its possible to make LG G5 VoLTE compatible? How would someone go about this?

It's not unless you are on stock or use a stock based rom. The drivers needed for VOLTE are locked down by LG and cell Carriers

You need root, and european cust files.
Make a clean install and put the open com files in the cust folder/partition which can be found in root. Make a few adjustments, got to the hidden menü and find the ux lte settings and turn the first 6 switches to on.
For deeper information you can ask here but all of this i formation can be found in this forum.

Advanced Calling / VoLTE from G2

Has anyone yet dumped the files from the LG G2 update VS98025B which added advanced calling support?
I could not find a tool which would properly dump the bin file.
I was hoping we could try to port this functionality over to the G3 instead of waiting for Verizon's update.
I don't know if this would require an updated baseband firmware, but it would be interesting to see how far we could get even without modifying the radio firmware.
I wonder what part the account feature activation plays in all of this.
Good question, i was wondering the same.
Do any aosp ROMs support VoLTE? With VoLTE can u also use your number over WiFi?

Can i flash my LG G5 F700L to international ROM like H860N?

I got a korean version of G5 F700L, but with many korea software which can't be uninstalled,
is it possible i flash my g5 to internation rom like H860N?
No. you can't. It needs to port.
f700l port?

Hi, did you got any solution for this?
No solution Yet !
same proplem!
any solution for this? please
Any solutions?
got the same problem... i hope someone have any idea...
@iamorenji You will need to port a device tree for the ROM. There's no way around it. It is a difference in software and potentially hardware as well that you will need to deal with.
For example, take the U.S. carrier-variants of the G5. For whatever reason, they don't have FM radio like the other variants like EU and perhaps the KR. I don't know whether it is not included in the hardware itself or whether it is disabled via software, but either way, you probably won't be including the Lineage FM Radio app when you build for U.S. variants.
To port for your device, you should start by forking the device trees for the officially-supported variants of the G5, like the H830 and H850. Choose the one that is closest to the F700L. Then start converting all of the configuration files, e.g. so that they use your device codename. Here is a good example of that being done in a conversion from the H830 to the RS988 (GitHub).
Search for building tutorials online and look at the building resources that other G5 developers use (local_manifests, etc.)
Good luck
What's th point of doing that, i mean if someone do the job f700l can flash h850 rom, we can't unlock the bootloader and root....

The best custom firmware without bugs.

Hello dear users and developers of firmware for the device LG V30+
Today I became the owner of LG v30+ 4/128 (H930DS), currently it has a software version installed: Android 7.1.2, Kernel version 4.4.63, Software version V10d-IND-XX (I don’t quite understand what the last meaning means)
I respect all developers of firmware for this device, but I want to ask which firmware is more stable (where both camera modules work well and there is support for the built-in analog digital converter) and has more functions in terms of interface customization? Interested in Android version 8 and 9.
Thank you for paying attention to this thread. :fingers-crossed:

V10d-IND-XX
"10" means Nougat
20 would be Oreo.
Your best bet right now is to update to early Oreo (pre-July 2018) to unlock bootloader, install TWRP and root. Then update to current rooted Oreo firmware.
Everything will work, and you can flash Magisk modules to get some custom stuff.
See WTF thread for bootloader unlock and TWRP.

Tell me please, do I understand you well? Do you offer to upgrade to the Oreo version, install twrp and root on your smartphone and stay on the original LG Oreo firmware?
There are several nuances that I forgot to clarify. It is desirable that the firmware was without GApps, from Google services I use only a translator. (I have not used GApps for more than two years)

Stock firmware doesn't use GAPPS.
Yes, stay on Oreo stock firmware, but unlock bootloader, install TWRP. After that, there's an updated stock OREO H930DS TWRP-flashable zip you can flash to update to latest Oreo.

Stock firmware uses gapps, otherwise you wouldnt have any play services on the phone when you buy it
And how much of the gapps are used depends on how much google makes the manufacturers install, changes every now and then.

OK to clarify, you don't install AOSP GAPPS package with stock firmware.
It already has the apps, and you can manually install what else you need.

Does the standard firmware already have GApps? I would not want to have a GApps core in a smartphone.
Even if we take into account the smallest NANO package, then it has the following components and telemetry as a gift.
Device Health Services
Google App (Search)
Google Package Installer (replaces stock / AOSP Package Installer)
Google Play services
I would like a clean firmware without any trace of google. What can you recommend?

You don't need "GAPPs" on stock. The firmware has what it needs already.
You are complicating the requirements if you now also want no Google. You wanted no bugs.
Tell you what. Unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and root, and update to latest firmware. After that, you're on your own.
You can install whatever custom ROM you want, but there's none with no bugs at this point in time.

I apologize for the concern, I am very grateful for your help. But I still do not understand. Is Android upgraded from the air with the Nougat 7.1.2 V10d-IND-XX version to V10e-JAN-23-2018 version? (This is exactly what my smartphone is now offering, as it writes on the display of the device)
In your "WTF" thread, I read about my device:
US998 Oreo, European H930 Oreo, H930DS Oreo, and open market V30S Oreo have the fastboot flash commands and boot loader unlock flaw. (With pre-July 2018 security patch firmware; don't worry, we can get you there.) At present, if you have post-July Android security patch, you can downgrade to unlock your bootloader.
* India H930DS would use the IND H930DS Oreo KDZ. which has India-specific VoLTE for carriers like Jio -- with pre-July 2018 security patch firmware

And I don’t understand whether I need to be updated or not needed to be updated in order not to make an downgrade.

Please do not mention any "10" (Nougat) firmware you are seeing. I've told you 3 times now that's old, outdated. You need "20" Oreo, but to UNlock bootloader you need specific version of Oreo before then updating to current Oreo. It will have a 20. Like 20A.
Updating from old version of Nougat to slightly less old version of Nougat does no good. You can NOT unlock H930DS bootloader on Nougat. You need to jump to specific version of Oreo.

You can use any region H930 or H930DS firmware you wish.
The only exception is for India H930DS for those that need India carrier Jio VoLTE.
I assumed you needed India firmware because that's what you have right now. But you can cross flash to Europe H930 if you wish.
In my WTF INSTRUCTIONS I even give a link to European H930DS OREO KDZ firmware. You can use that, if you wish.
You need to print it those instructions and read them several times.

Congratulations! You successfully updated to Oreo and followed the WTF instructions to it install TWRP and root.
What version firmware are you on now? Are you on H930DS or H930 firmware? If H930DS, which one? CIS?
Did you update to newer firmware after the bootloader unlock TWRP and root stage? LG improved the camera more with latest Oreo updates.
I have Settings screenshot suggestions with Google Photos link in that thread and my KDZ threads. Everyone has their own preferences, but there's so many deep (almost hidden) menus on this device it's easy to overlook some useful toggle (like the lock screen weather animations). And with root, I've been able to enable them all -- not just the two LG has as default.
I've also enabled call recorder and installed some other mods. I also use this one, but may not be compatible with your H930DS/H930.

I don't know the answer to that. I know there are AOSP custom ROMs which can be used without GAPPs and you can install MicroG. The problem until recently with the custom ROMs for the V30 (I said recently) has been replicating various functionality of stock firmware as well as stock firmware. VoLTE, quad DAC (with digital filters), cameras, Always On Display, brightness controls on display, no audio on apps like WhatsApp. A lot of that has been fixed or improved considerably and is still under constant development -- but the title of this thread is "best custom firmware without bugs"... At this point in time I'm not sure that exists, but may in the near future.
For me, I'm running rooted stock firmware with various mods and you can also debloat stuff like the social media apps you do not use. There are threads around about what is "safe" to remove and what isn't. The problem is you besides "no bugs", then you threw in additional "no Google" requirment.
So, run most recent rooted stock firmware for awhile just so you know how it feels. Flash some mods so you can get some customization. THAT will be your baseline. THEN, after making good TWRP backup, you can try experimenting with some of the AOSP ROMs with microG. Good luck.

I apologize for the wording “completely without errors”, I meant without critical errors, such as spontaneous reboot, camera drop after one shot or during video recording, constant disconnection from Wi-Fi. With the wording "without errors", which I had in mind the most common critical errors. I went through all these errors on the zuk z1 device, but today the camera and stabilization, calls, sounds and other functions work perfectly for him, the only thing that did not suit me in this device was 64 GB of memory without the possibility of expanding the microsd card and processor the old x32 architecture and the inefficient Adreno 330 graphics core without Open GL 3.2 support
Now the firmware H930DS20c_00_OPEN_CIS_DS_OP_0419 is installed on my device, in the item “Check for updates” it is written that today I have the latest software version, but I suspect that I don’t know the forum and the updates don’t come because the bootloader is unlocked,
First, I will try to update the firmware to the latest version (if I find how to do it) and remove all unnecessary programs, if nothing good comes of it, then most likely I will install AIS firmware (recommended on another forum with a link to the xda forum )
Tell me, now with the help of root and twrp I can make a full backup of the firmware data H930DS20c_00_OPEN_CIS_DS_OP_0419, and then I can restore it through the same twrp?

The way you would flash it is via LGUP, but UNcheck "recovery" partitions to keep TWRP custom recovery. Then you would boot to TWRP and re-flash the no encryption, no root checker files and Magisk again. It's somewhat a pain, which is why people like to flash the TWRP-flashable zip versions when available.

Reboot into TWRP using the app shortcut I suggested in the WTF thread and go to backup and make a backup. If you use internal memory it's FAST to make backup, but probably also want to use microSD card (much slower) storage so that if you completely wipe your phone you have that backup in a safe place. When you go to restore you will navigate to the place you stored it on your phone.

Fortunately all of the Google related apps can be disabled in the settings on the stock ROM (US998). I'm running stock non-rooted and Google-less with amazing battery life. If you are rooted then you can even use Titanium Backup to freeze anything Google.

Possible to get VoLTE working on my US998 and custom ROM?

Hello,
I have a V30+ sold as a US998 running on T-Mobile US. Is it possible to get VoLTE working on the custom ROMs for this phone? VoLTE works with the stock ROM but I don't want stock. On my other phones, AOSP and other non-stock ROMs are able to do VoLTE with no problems.
Is part of the problem that all the custom ROMs are based on the H930? Do I need for someone to build a US998 based custom ROM for it to work?
This is the only thing preventing me from using this phone as my daily driver. I love the hardware and form-factor but need clear voice calls.
Thanks in advance,
Carl

Thanks for your reply. I looked at that thread but my phone does not seem to have the /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/OP parttion that's needed to follow the instructions in that thread. Maybe different versions of the phone are flashed with different partitions and the US998 doesn't have that?

Stock ROM has VoLTE, yes, but the /OP partition on for example the H930, decides which features are allowed on which carrier... aka it disables/enables some settings depending on the sim card inserted.
For VoLTE: LG modiefied the modem in a way that the IMS services cant talk to it. They may start, you may have the settings to enable it, but they wont work.
Other manufacturers (Xiaomi, Oneplus...) use standard Qualcomm implementation for this, which is to a big part open source, thats why it works there.

Thanks for the response.
So there must be a different partition or method on the US998 that enables VoLTE? Can we use that method in the same way that H930 owners can use the /OP method?
Or would it be possible to use some LG recovery tool to completely reflash and repartition my US998 so that essentially it becomes an H930 thereby allowing me to use the /OP method and enable VoLTE?
It's kind of frustrating because this phone with a custom ROM would be nearly ideal for me but because of this issue it gathers dust. (And don't get me started on the V35 I bought to "upgrade" it!)

From what ive been told all the open market variants should have a /OP partition... but appearantly not (anymore)... The H933 has one though, i think
I dont think you can convert a US998 to a H930 though... and using its /OP partition would be pointless, because it only has carriers from Europe in it.

So I guess question is: if some (all?) US998s don't have an /OP partition then how does VoLTE work on the stock ROM on these phones? Any idea where I would start if I want to figure it and see if it's something that can be duplicated on a custom ROM?
Guess I'll reinistall stock and do some exploring...

I suppose there its somewhere in the framework files + firmware themselfes (hardcoded)...
Or the config files for that are somewhere completly different.
@SGCMarkus and @clipcarl Did you have any update on making VoLTE work on the LG V30 series? I was verifying all the Custom ROMS but none of them supports VoLTE.
Please help me in using custom ROM with VoLTE.

V30 AOSP LOS custom ROMs don't have VoLTE and never will.

how can i found out which devices support VoLTE with custom ROMs or is there even some kind of feature matrix/table for custom ROMs and devices?
because LG's update support for the V30 is kind of bad (currently i have Nov 2019) and if custom ROMs don't support things like VoLTE, (earlier even encryption was a problem) i might switch to another device now...

For the V30 series, stock-based ROMs like AIS and AIX support VoLTE. But LOS based custom roms do not support VoLTE.
For me, I run rooted stock Oreo US998 20h firmware with magisk and Xposed mods.
If I had T-Mobile , I would have VoLTE on US998 20h. But because I use AT&T, I would need to install AT&T Oreo firmware -- which we have here in the forum -- to get VoLTE. I prefer Open Market firmware and don't need VoLTE whatsoever.
VoLTE is not something that can be magically implemented via software. It's something that also depends upon the carrier side. T-Mobile is more eager to get customers then AT&T. I don't know what carrier do you use. For Verizon a lot of people are running VS996 rooted stock firmware.
As to what other devices have VoLTE with LOS custom roms, I don't know.
As for us, we have a thread maintained by a very helpful person who lists all the bugs in
* V30 LOS 17 based ROMs (Android 10)
* older V30 LOS 16 based ROMs.
So for the items you see that list, there's no need to go installing every ROM to check it out. They will all have those same bugs.

At this point could we just work on a debloated STOCK PIE ROM? The phone still works well and I'd hate to let it go...

A.I.X. is stock Pie custom ROM, developed and maintained by ROM Dev Aeronliru, a.k.a. AeronLee. It's stock Pie on steroids with lots of customization. Found in the Telegram thread.
There are also debloated T-mobile H932 and Verizon VS996 stock Pie ROMs. What variant do you have, which debloated stock ROM are you looking for?
* [ROM][VS996] Verizon LG V30 Pie 30c Debloated ROM
This one is mostly for Verizon users, although technically other compatible North American variants can flash to it.
* [STOCK] [H932] [30d] [Pie] T-Mobile LG V30 Stock Collection
This one is ONLY for T-mobile H932. See post #2 of that thread for the debloating trick.

In a similar situation here and thinking ahead to when ATT shuts down 3g (yeh, 2/22, assuming the phone survives this long
For V30 to have VoLTE on ATT, doesn't it need to 1) have ATT firmware, and also 2) be originally ATT version?
When you mentioned that for you just putting ATT firmware will get you VoLTE, is it because your V30 was originally ATT version?
Since mine is from USCellular, I always thought that putting ATT firmware on it would not get me VoLTE.
Thanks.

Has anyone installed any custom ROM, kernels, etc ..?

I am new to rooting phone from what it seems this phone has not been successfully rooted. I would love to chat with someone who is working at this or has achieved this task.

Any news about Firehose leak ?
I've been pretty busy working on patching LGUP for the sake of the Stylo 6 root and carrier unlocking, but, after that's done, I planned on moving on to the V60.
Patched LGUP should allow for quite a few things. It's a big assignment and is thus taking some time, but should get done, and will unlock a lot. Menu options (possibly including a mysterious "TOT Build" function I haven't looked into yet), OPID mismatch error voidance to flash over new carriers/unlock the carrier, the possibility of disabling the ARB check (obviously this poses concerns for accidental bricking i.e "possibility of") and some other more subtle changes. I might also redo the UI for fun...that's not a priority though. If anyone by chance wants to help with that so that I could get moving forward on the V60 much faster than is projected at the moment, then here's a link to my discord server where development is focused and a link to the thread that spawned it. I can't balance both projects at once, as I also have work and life happening around me.
I haven't looked everywhere for the V60 engineering boot or firehose or whatever just yet (I haven't familiarized myself with that much yet either) but I did poke around for a bit when I got curious and nothing turned up. I'll do more in depth stuff when the time comes, but for now I'm occupied.
Either way, I'll get around to taking a look at the V60 at some point. In the mean time, if I come across something that might help people out here, I'll go ahead and post it here, or make a new forum post depending on its relevancy.
Good luck, everyone!

I'm so confused, people keep saying that there is no root for a V60 and bootloader can't be unlocked. I'm looking at a bootloader option on my phone as I type here and here is a link to the rooting v60 article.
How to Root LG V60 ThinQ and Unlock Bootloader (Guide) (ytechb.com)
I guess I should try it to see if it works but statements like above are confusing to me.

That would work if you had a European version of the v60. Beside that, there are no custom roms/kernel/radio for the v60...
waiting for the prog_ufs_firehose_sm8250_lge.elf to show up and a modded abl_a.bin
Can't wait for this to be available for US. I have been really wanting this beast of a phone to use for pen testing etc

Hello
I have a LMV600EA with V600EA10o_00_1118 firmware. Today I managed to extract the boot.img and patch it with Magisk. I now have a working rooted LG V60. Attached is the Magisk patched boot file for the firmware V600EA10o_00_1118.

Could you by chance upload a dump of your device partitions? Specifically, the boot img and perhaps your laf images? Everything in total would be really great, but I want to see if flashing the European bootloader over the USA variant is at all a good idea... perhaps we can shove the European bootloader into the USA variant and unlock that way?
Also, are you able to find your unlock.bin that LG sent you? Could you post that, too, for analysis?
I'm very curious.

Sadly no way to use given Magisk won't let me do anything right now beyond just patching the image that I pulled from the KDZ. Hopefully soon-ish we'll be able to root (and maybe bootloader unlock) this beast then really push the V60 to it's real potential.

so for now is only Boot.img patched and can it be used to root permissions the T-mobile variant and we must to wait for unlock bootloader?

Sadly we can't even get root permissions until we get the bootloader unlocked on the T-Mobile V60 unless if some other method is found.

I'm so sorry, I probably should have clarified, do you by chance have the unpatched version you could upload as well? I'd love to take a look at it and see what we can do with it, if anything, since LG likes to make their files very, very obscure and difficult to work with.
I can also, to an extent, dump some of the rootfs of the Stylo 6 but I'm yet to try it with the V60. My time here is limited until I can get the Stylo 6 done with, but assuming we finish everything we're working on, we'll have a patched LGUP 2.x dll (I can never remember the actual full version) with a patched LGUP 1.16 exe that should allow for crossflashing and dumping devices, and hopefully some other goodies among that and it should totally help jumpstart a lot of development for the V60 as well as most if not all other LG modern devices.
Hopefully!
