Update just appeared this morning - LG V30 Questions & Answers

I have the H932 version, so no chance of root as I understand. Should I just go ahead with the update?
I included a screenshot below.

Just a heads up, the new OTA that At&t released has an updated bootloader.

Why didn't att just play nice and update to V3? Instead they update To V4 so I can't flip flop between t-mobile firmware and there's. Does root still work? On the other hand, I can flash Verizon firmware I guess.

I haven't attempted rooting it, and I won't be. There might be a small chance that it may work but I'm not sure.

Well ... if root doesn't work I know what my next firmware will be. (Tmobile)
I can't root, looks like it's back to the drawing board. It figures this happen as soon as I feel it necessary to root my device......
I advise everyone to not take any OTAs after the first August patch so you can still be able to root and flash roms. It isn't a problem for me since I wasn't planning on rooting this phone again anyways..

Pretty sure the eng boot will still work on the new BL, just no old ROMs. :^)
MFW just read those posts above me.

Did you use the engboot root method?

@raremind couldn't root on BL4. It's unfortunate how we can't root on API2, but if the developers are willing to find out a new way to gain root access on API2, then it wouldn't be the end of the world for anyone who wants the latest OTA but still want root.

I took the OTA to get the latest version, so unfortunately I don't have the actual firmware link.

No, it cant.

No one can until the U firmware is updated to bootloader 4.

Yeahhh, thought I'd give it a go
G930U firmware was just updated to API3 which has the incremented bootloader, so the individuals who updated to the latest AT&T firmware can use U firmware now. :victory:
EDIT: Here is @joe3681 's thread that has the download to the firmware.

Actually Verizon looks to be the first to be trying to push the update
Verizon pulled the change log, it was just the April update. I wonder why they would bother to push the April update if the Oreo update was close, that tells me Verizon is going to screw the S7's on Red.

I'm thinking their still deciding on updating the bootloader for carrier specific ,like what sprint is doing, as the betas are still on 4 while sprint is on 5 for android n ,so customers can't unlock with out having to go through the company

I dont have a link but have been running for a few days. after disabling 'Device Health' is has been running great. Good battery life, far better than I was getting on BRA1.
AT&T just pushed the March security update, I am still wondering why bother with it if Oreo is close..

Sometimes mobile Internet is unavailable. I need to reboot my phone to enable the Internet.
Boys, CRD6 is the latest build?

Posts on Reddit say the one being released in Europe is ERD5. I would hope the US market would be the same. I'm holding off flashing CRD6.

Current Software Version for SM-G965U1 (formerly Verizon Wireless SM-G965U)

Is this the most current software version for the unlocked variant of the S9+? If not, please help me download it.
Here's a screenshot.
Yep that's it, nothing to download. Except the Pie beta if you want to check out the very latest but probably deal with some bugs

I believe you need RJ2 from the G965U1 firmware thread. Use Odin to flash that and then go to the Pie beta thread for the 965U1 for the beta files.

I'm not sure, I haven't messed with it myself. Read up in the thread and you'll probably find out that it's been discussed already. some people got officially into the beta program through the Samsung+ app, you might check there as well.

Is it possible to root my phone?

Thanks

Yes.
Read the Root Sticky.

Post #1 of the Root Sticky gives you link to the WTF INSTRUCTIONS you need for your variant. All download links are in the WTF instructions.
Read them carefully. Even print them out. Look for your scenario: US998 on Nougat. It's a decision tree... If you have this variant on X firmware, do this. If you have that variant on Y firmware, go there.
By the time you get to Section 5, everyone has fastboot flash commands and are (temporarily) on early Oreo. Then you run the bootloader unlock code.
Section 6 is installing TWRP and root files.
Section 7 is Troubleshooting Tips.
It's VERY important to read it all ahead of time, download the files you need, and not just jump in.

Awesome! Thanks I was just asking so I knew where to check, I couldn't find that thread.
Anybody know the answer to this. If I have a converted LS998 and changed to US998, no magisk, no TWRP, but bootloader unlocked, can I take OTA? Will I get OTA?
Thanks

You probably won't get OTA. It depends on IMEI, I've read.
I saw this update is from US cellular and supports band 66. Does it also support volte and wifi calling?
