LG V30 for Map-A-Droid By Beavis August 29, 2019

The LG V30 is a solid choice for scanning. Phones from members of the community may be appealing, but one that is economical and powerful makes use over the long term a more valuable goal. I wasn’t familiar with LG phones prior to MAD, but it is a sleeper phone equivalent to Samsung’s Note 8 and the price reflects it. Now that I have done a few, I can unbox them and have them scanning in less than an hour. As of writing this, I am scanning with 6 of them, plus another one ready to go once the next month starts.

Pros:

  1. It has the SnapDragon 835 chipset, top of the line in 2017
  2. 4gb of ram
  3. 128g of storage
  4. Economical, I have gotten ones for $50 shipped to the house from eBay
  5. Easy to root with a straightforward method
  6. Uses a modded stock rom, various versions work

Cons:

  1. So far been unable to get smail patcher installed properly. So tin foil it is!
  2. Must be a specific model, US998. Other variants may work, but why bother when they are cheap and available.
  3. Battery is not removed easily

Directions:

  1. Purchase one from eBay, don’t worry so much about condition, MAD won’t care about a cracked screen. I have purchased ones for $50 and ones up to $120, screen just needs to work well enough to root, then scrcpy for the rest.
  2. Obtain a decent quality 16GB sd card
  3. While waiting for it to arrive, read the rooting directions at https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76584629
  4. Download necessary files, most files are at the bottom of the post, but there are others like LGup scattered in the page
  5. Unbox and give it a full charge
  6. Follow the directions on the webpage a. Use Magisk 18.1
  7. Download and install the systemize module for Magisk, reboot
  8. Download and install busybox a. Also handy if you get any weird system rw errors, the command to fix that is “busybox mount -o remount,rw /system”
  9. Install RGC and PogoDroid
  10. Systemize RGC a. If systemize can’t find busybox, do a different location b. Utillize priv-app directory, option 2
  11. Setup RGC a. Daemon 20 sec
  12. Setup PogoDroid a. Daemon 40 sec
  13. Fix ip for phone on your router. I use 2.4ghz band for wireless, but feel free to try 5ghz.
  14. Developer settings enabled a. Stay awake b. USB debugging – plug in to computer via usb cable and confirm computer on phone so you have no issues on adb over tcp
  15. Install pogo
  16. Work device into MAD mappings
  17. Setup pogo account. Link into google if using existing PTC account
