Hello,
I maybe made some uneducated buying, I am in Germany and bought some LG V30+ H930DS, I guess it is Hong Kong Version as it is V11m-HKG-XX.
It is working just fine with German T-Mobile networks, everything like LTE and such. What is just buggering me, will I get any updates on that phone, like security patches or Oreo?
Also, when I enter LG Smart World, I got the attached selection of countries, I thought this might be doable for Germany, too, but I guess I was too optimistic
Would it help to get the Indian firmware version?
Thank you for your help! And no, I do not want to return the phone

He's from Denmark but I don't know which DS model he has -- Hong Kong or India. I suspect Hong Kong as that's easier to buy.

He's from Denmark but I don't know which DS model he has -- Hong Kong or India. I suspect Hong Kong as that's easier to buy over the internet. You can message him and ask. If Hong Kong then that proves he got update notification. M is the latest Nougat right now. US998 is still on C. Only South Korea carrier variants have Oreo.
I also have HKG H930DS version in UK with three and i've had 2 updates since purchasing it.

That sounds good, which updates did you get? I did not get any yet, but received the phone this Saturday with January patch preinstalled.
January is last patch that I received.
I also have the LG V30+, H930 ds, HK Version, ordered via UK. Since November I already got 2 updates OTA, but still no Oreo.
With the LG Suite I set HK as my location, but no further updates there.
So updates works also with HK Version.
I am also waiting for the Oreo update on the HK version, latest update was in January!
Also bought a H930DS imported from HK. I'm also on January software patch. I live in Denmark.
Anyone got voltE or WIFI calling working with the Hong Kong software version?
Also bought a H930DS imported from HK, also on January software patch and I live in Spain.
Let me join here . Another 930ds imported from HK back in November. I receive 2 ota updates since. Last security patch is the same (January). We will receive Oreo, I'm sure
Lg h930ds indian retail version got two security updates hope we get oreo update soon
Hi,
i want buy a Lg h930ds unlocked. There is the possibility that with Oreo update, the phone become yet locked (operator lock) ?
It will not lock to specific network, if you buy it unlocked. Or if you buy it locked and succeed to unlock it, no matter the updates, the phone will remain unlocked.
H930DS in Indonesia region has just received v10j update with march security patch.
Mine also from HK and no update yet, still on January update 7.1.2
Same here..
Hi , the same report from Czech republic , there is still nougat [emoji24]

I am from CZE too, had HKG version too, flashed EU version and enjoying. You can do the same?

Did anyone receive any security patch update after the 1st Aug 2018. Current Software version is V20b-IND-XX. This is the 1st Aug 2018 update. If anyone received an update after this pls to let us know. And do you guys think the next update will directly be an android pie update due to the huge delay of the security update?. Let us know pls. Thanks.
No H930DS for any region/country has received update since August.
It's not an India H930DS issue.
It won't be PIE until the Korean carrier variants get PIE first.
Sent via open market LG US998 V30/V30+
An update has been announced
A december update changelog for the korean variant was recently announced by LG. It'll add DTS: X 3D stereo effect to the V30. Although the changelog is only for korean variant. We're gonna have to wait for that update to be rolled out in India!
P.S: The post also mentions an official pie release for korean G7 in Q1 of 2019. So V30 getting the pie is still a distant affair!

JIO VOLTE is supported on ESA region (India) H930DS firmware. The problem is you had to use ESA region, you couldn't use any other H939DS firmware or H930 ER firmware, if you wanted JIO VOLTE -- even though they were compatible in every other way. Jio users can't drop down to HSPA like other carriers -- they only have LTE.
Now apparently H930 firmware does support JIO VOLTE and also has the new DTS 3D framework. plus H930 firmware still gives H930DS dual sim card capability, and keeps the H930DS bands.
This is very big news.
And there's also H930 TWRP flashable zip for those who have TWRP... Thanks to @seadersn.

Because you bought your India H9030DS recently, I assume. It came with it.
People who already had India H930DS never got that November security patch. Last ESA region KDZ update was August 2018.
Now you can have January 2019 security patch and have DTS 3D stereo -- if rooted. (or maybe the November patch update has it already.) Anyway, you will have newer firmware, you will still have your H930DS bands and will be able to get Jio VoLTE if you are a Jio customer.
This is how LG is keeping their 90-day patch commitment for the LG V30. They have basically rolled the H930DS updates into H930 EU firmware...

Yes, you do not have to use LG Bridge. See the link I posted above. You would download KDZ and flash with Dev Patched LGUP, attached to post #2 of that thread. Many download links for KDZ are in that post.

I have an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S9+ (SM-965U1) using on T-Mobile. Unfortunately, T-Mobile has been really slow to push out firmware updates. The last one was in February to 9.0 with only January 2019 security patches.
Looking at firmware updates from SamMobile, the other carriers have been pushing out updates for this model more frequently. Is there any difference between the firmware updates from AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, and T-Mobile for SM-G965U1? And if not, could I let's say borrow a friend's Verizon sim card, put it into my phone, and force a manual update that would be querying Verizon which has a more recent update?
Thanks
First of all you can't just put another sim card in and update
The only way is to flash your phone with Odin and I would recommend flashing the unlocked rom

Even if it isn't a carrier specific model? This was purchased from B&H Video which only sells unlocked versions.
The T-Mobile model is G965UZKATMB which seems to get frequent updates. Last one was in April (and I think I read a post that a June update was getting pushed out). While my phone, which is the unlocked model SM-G965U1 hasn't received one since February.

Yeah. Sprint, AT&T, and Verizon had a April release for the unlocked S9+. T-Mobile has been dragging their feet though. Which is why, if there's no difference between firmware (other than certifying it works on their Network), I was hoping I could just borrow a friend's sim card from one of the other 3 carriers and update my phone.
It seems that lg has released the official pie update to Europe and other countries like its home country and the US. Did anyone receive the update for the Indian phone version? (H930DS) Because the v40 has received the update on 2nd aug 2019. If anyone has gotten the update and is using the Indian firmware please do respond and if anyone hasnt received it yet share Your thoughts. Thanks.

No, Pie has NOT been released to any North American variants (including U.S.) as of today's date. Only Europe and Korea.
When ESA (India) region H930DS Pie KDZ is released, you won't have to ask for it. I have KDZ threads ready to go. It won't be a secret.

Well, LG is going in reverse order. V35 was released in 2018, while V30 was 2017 phone. That's why V40 got Pie before V35, then V35.
Some V30 variants have it, but soon all will.

My phone LG V30 H931 black AT&T model
i bought in dubai as 2nd hand phone and now
im trying to update OTA it says " Your device is already updated " . i have checked in AT&T software official site and the device has available update for July 2019 security patch. My phone security patch is still last July 2018 since i purchased it.
I also tried LG bridge computer update but it shows " LG bridge cannot detect your device O.S. " does it mean im stuck in 8.0 Oreo ? weird, i have a korean version LG V40 and connecting to Lg bridge has no problem it detects the current OS of my V40 LGU + model.
So i realized it maybe because my phone is AT&T model , USA based phone and im not using at&t sim nor network since im in Dubai now
Now question ,is there any other solution to update into android Pie 9.0? or should i just. sell my phone and better buy another V30 or V35 korean version which has no problem in updating O.S. rather than USA based phones which are restricted . thanks

No, doesn't have Pie yet, but soon will. They will get Pie. But this question is not really about Pie, this is about updating H931 at all. There's only one way to do that, if you are not an AT&T customer. I tell how in the Sticky.
I've answered this question two or three dozen times and people just keep creating new threads to ask again. Thought sure the Sticky would help and maybe it has.

Device being carrier unlocked (by some code) has nothing to do with getting carrier-approved updates only allowed for that carrier's customers.
AT&T and Sprint don't want you using their devices on other networks, and if you do, they punish you. They also don't care about AT&T/Sprint customers who may sell their phones on eBay to non-customers.
There is a solution. Read the sticky.

Only AT&T H931 and Sprint LS998 are ostensibly restricted. There's a way around the restriction, explained in the sticky.
Neither carrier release public KDZ for their updates. They will only do FOTA (Firmware Over The Air) for customers who have their SIM cards.
This is why LG Bridge won't work for H931 or LS998, because you can capture the URL to the LG Server and post it publicly. We do this all the time in the OTHER variant KDZ threads, where you can download KDZ straight from LG Servers. AT&T and Sprint won't allow that.

* I've already explained it's not all U.S. carrier phones. However, if you research you will know AT&T and Sprint LG phones do not give updates to non-customers, nor do they publicly release KDZ update files. Those two carriers only release FOTA (firmware over the air) to customers.
* Most everyone here in this forum uses or has used LGUP. It's not risky if you just read the directions.
Many people on different LG variants don't get OTA updates (like India H930DS) and even my wife's native US998 -- and it's not because they aren't U.S. carrier customers. So they come here to get updates, and manually install them via Dev Patched LGUP.

I've had my Pixel 6 for less than a month, bought it in Canada and updated in November to SD1A.210817.037, then rooted with Magisk. All is fine.
Now, I'm in Mexico with it, on Telcel, and the December updates have come out, but I have no idea which one to flash. Does anyone know?
The options are:
12.0.0 (SQ1D.211205.016.A1, Dec 2021)
12.0.0 (SQ1D.211205.016.A4, Dec 2021, EMEA carriers) *** I'm pretty confident it's not this one***
12.0.0 (SQ1D.211205.017, Dec 2021, US carriers)
I'm thinking that it's the first option, but I'm not sure...
12.0.0 (SQ1D.211205.017, Dec 2021, US carriers) <--- I used this since T-Mobile is a US carrier
Probably for you, your best option is to flash the first option
I'm asking myself the same question. I've a Canadian model too. Once I bought it I flashed "12.0.0 (SD1A.210817.019.C2, Oct 2021, T-Mobile (US), USCC, Google Fi, CA, & TW carriers)" with magisk. I didn't even update to the November one because I wasn't sure, but I would like to do this one and see if that solve some bugs that I have. I just would like to be sure about the first option (which would make sence).

Sure, it's a post that explain how to update without losing root.
Method to upgrade every month, without wiping data and retaining root
Caution: I originally wrote this guide when it was necessary to disable verity and verification before flashing patched boot.img. Now Magisk has overcome this requirement and some users have reportedly flashed updates without disabling...
forum.xda-developers.com
But most recent posts says they wont keep root after the update. Saw the same reports on a Telegram and a discord server.
I'm wondering the same thing as well. I'm running Mint Mobile (T-Mobile MVNO) on an Unlocked P6P in the US. I assume the US Carriers is the one I need to flash but I'm not positive.
I'm getting corrupted data and stuck on google screen can anyone assist?
Does anyone know what is the difference between 12.0.0 (SQ1D.211205.016.A4, Dec 2021, EMEA carriers)
and the A1 version ?
I have a Pixel 6 bought from the German Google Store and it received the December update, but it automatically installed the A1 version, which the support page says is for Canada.
I have not put a SIM in it yet, but it is in Europe.
Why did it not update to the A4 (EMEA Carriers) version ?, which is supposed to be for UK, IE, FR, DE.
And which EMEA carriers are we talking about, only from these countries: UK, IE, FR, DE, or also other from Europe ?
I wonder if I can install the A4 full OTA package over the A1 version ?

Does anyone know what is the difference between 12.0.0 (SQ1D.211205.016.A4, Dec 2021, EMEA carriers)
and the A1 version ?
I have a Pixel 6 bought from the German Google Store and it received the December update, but it automatically installed the A1 version, which the support page says is for Canada.

Check the support page again -- it's been updated and now says the 016.A1 version is the global unlocked version. I was told something similar by a Google chat rep through the in-phone support function.
You're on the right build.
I'm in the US. Google is telling me I can be either on SQ1D.211205.016.A1 or SQ1D.211205.017. Doesn't seem like a reliable answer. I have an unlocked P6P and I'm on Verizon. Did anyone get a clear answer?
This is nuts.
Why would Google not have one image that adapts to the carrier in-play? After all, folk can change carriers/regions during the life of their phone. What happens then? The phone doesn't work properly until it somehow figures out it needs a different image and then somehow flips to it?
What about if you temporarily travel to a different region and roam onto a different operator? Is your phone not 'right for that region' and doesn't work properly?
So do these different images relate to different hardware variances of the phone?

I don't think anyone knows at this point. There are some major issues with network connectivity some are blaming on the December update and some are saying ongoing from previous builds. I'm in the latter group. They will have to come out with a new update sooner rather than later since this is widespread across the globe.

I think I'm gona wait a little bit more before updating. On another post many said that they lost root and magisk doesn't seem to work on the new update at the current state.

Magisk is running perfect on the december update. And no problems with 4G ,, I did a clean install on de December update.
Used the A1 version and no problems at all.

I have not put a SIM in it yet, but it is in Europe.
Why did it not update to the A4 (EMEA Carriers) version ?, which is supposed to be for UK, IE, FR, DE.
And which EMEA carriers are we talking about, only from these countries: UK, IE, FR, DE, or also other from Europe ?
I wonder if I can install the A4 full OTA package over the A1 version ?

Hmm, looks interesting. i have a spare Nexus device, so i can easily try it.
ok i've successfully updated SQ1D.211205.016.A4 (EMEA) over SQ1D.211205.016.A1 (global) using full ota. Storeage remains intact. Sim works (Spusu / Austria / Sub carrier using Hutchison Drei Austria).
But upgrading to SQ1D.211205.017 failed with "Build newer than timestamp 1638904347 but package has timestamp 1638280743 and downgrade not allowed". The same if you try to revert back to .A1 Image, so you have to unlock the bootloader and reflash the stock image. Of Course, all data will be lost.

Yeah, I did it yesterday too. i was waiting for a Magisk-Alpha update before, which we got yesterday. I need this one specially for Denylist to work without zygisk.
