Root By Dhananjay on November 30, 2017

Once you have unlocked the phone’s bootloader using the official method, you can use this guide to install TWRP recovery on LG V30 H930 and H930G.

LG’s latest flagship has been well-recognized for different aspects, including the flattering design, supreme sound quality, dual-camera setup with a wide field-of-view, and a series of other nifty features that make it a great device, overall. But the software is something that can be questioned, from a power user’s perspective like me. If you’re one such nerd who isn’t much satisfied with the in-house LG UX 6.0, then you would definitely want to take the path to root/custom ROMs. But for that, you will first need to install TWRP recovery on LG V30.

Guide to Install TWRP Recovery on LG V30

The V30 has finally received the deserved attention from the developer community recently. And it seems like the customization scene is progressing fast. Recently, the OEM added support for the device to get unlock codes. And we guided you on how to unlock bootloader on LG V30.

Today, we will be taking a step forward on the same path and help you install TWRP recovery on LG V30. But before we do, let us ask you something. Do you even know what TWRP is? Or, are you just doing this because your friend did it? In any case, if you’re new to the whole scene, the next few lines will clear up the air for you.

TWRP or TeamWin Recovery Project is a custom recovery for Android devices. It offers a long list of features that the stock recovery doesn’t. Starting with backing up or restoring firmware, to flashing the device with third-party software/ROMs and wiping the device partitions. Now, you will require installing TWRP recovery on LG V30, if you wish to root the device, disable encryption, or even flash a custom ROM.

TWRP recovery for LG V30 has been brought by XDA Recognized Developer – jcadduono. The developer has previously provided working TWRP builds for a range of different OEM devices. We appreciate his work for the V30 community. The recovery is not yet completely tested. The list of confirmed working features is as follows:

  • Flashable zip installer
  • Nandroid Backup and Restore
  • OTG storage
  • MTP
  • ADB
  • Mass Storage mode
  • Brightness

Take a note that encryption is not supported in TWRP due to LG’s proprietary encryption. Now that you’re well aware of the features, let us move on to the steps to install TWRP recovery on LG V30. Start by fulfilling the list of requirements below.

Prerequisites

  • The recovery image file and instructions in the guide are only meant for the Europe (H930) and Italy (H930G) variants of the V30. Do not attempt to install it on any other model.
  • We strongly recommend that you take a full backup of your LG device before proceeding ahead. You may follow our tutorial to backup Android phones.
  • Enable USB debugging and install Android SDK tools on your PC.

I come with a background of operating and exploring Android devices since the last 6 years. I dwell on technology and Android to be precise. Its open-source nature and the enormous scope for possibilities have intrigued me ever since I operated my first Android device. All this ultimately led me to start "TheCustomDroid". Apart from that, I spend most of my time mountain biking and gaming on my Xbox.
