Use Frankenstein thread method, convert to US998 or AS998 to flash Oreo KDZ.
EDIT :
US998 is better since it also has fastboot flash commands, in case you ever want to unlock bootloader and root.

Hi,
If I get oreo firmware of korean v30 v300k and I flash it in my european v30 h930, what would happen? It will works?
No it won't work. You might even brick your phone... if you manage to find a way to flash a firmware not intended for your variant.
You can't install install incompatible rom on this device. Installation process should check the model number to match your phone. That means it will show just an error, but modifying the rom file might allow you to install it. But it won't boot because the korean version has different modem.
Does anyone know if it is possible to install h930 rom on h930ds? I have heard that the modem inside is different, but I am not able to find official information.
Hi,
I recently got the V30+ for a really cheap price but I got the Korean KT version. So my question is if it's possible to rebrand it to the open European version?
Thanks for your answers.

The word you are looking for is not re-brand but convert. You want to convert it to H930.
You could do it with custom LGUP file -- convert one V30 variant to another -- but you would lose cellular connectivity and would at most only have Wi-Fi. There are people who do this for development reasons, convert one variant to another, but it's only on temporary basis while they do what's needed -- then they flash it back. With the V20 one dev created a method to flash to another variant firmware that wasn't patched yet for Dirty Santa. They were able to convert AT&T V20 to another V20 model, unlock bootloader, install TWRP -- then use that TWRP to flash back to TWRP-flashable zipped AT&T firmware, and still retain unlocked bootloader and TWRP custom recovery.
During that time the AT&T V20 was "temporarily" recognized as another V20, their SIM card didn't work, they had no cellular connectivity -- but they still had Wi-Fi and could sideload stuff.
This is actually a method being considered to root the T-mobile H932 V30:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75196964&postcount=296
But it won't help you, because it's only meant to be a temporary stage. You would lose important functionality.

Not only to have Oreo, but for bootloader unlock and root and to have freedom.
Ability to run custom ROMs like Boombox.
You can use CIS H930DS OREO KDZ or H930 Oreo KDZ. In both those threads, I have LGUP attached, which you can use to easily upgrade to Oreo. OR you can go one step further, and bootloader unlock and root before LG releases the update that will BLOCK that.
Lots of India users have done that.
See post #193 of the WTF thread.. Full instructions are there for bootloader unlock and root.

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

Last question sir, if the AT&T phone is unlocked already like my LG V30 case, i can insert dubai sim now and it is working to other sim as well, does it mean that i can update as well the software android in any country i go? because this is AT&T US based phone ,does it really require AT&T sim ? or no need since the phone is already unlocked? thanks

Months ago, I wrote a Guide for AT&T H931 and Sprint LS998 which can't update, if you are not AT&T or Sprint customer. It tell HOW to update them.
It's a sticky:

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.

Thanks for all the responses sir, i decided to sell my at&t used phone, manual upgrading software is too much hectic and risky for me as an ordinary user.
So this is a lesson learned from me and i strongly advised to all foreigners like me who wants to buy 2nd hand LG phones ,better buy korean variants or international version, avoid US based carrier brand phones.
Sk telekom, LG U + this korean variants are way better ,no restriction any country u go u can update the O.S.
Using my LG V40 korean variant thanks

* 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.
For everyone else with AT&T H931 or Sprint LS998, here's the answer:

Hi Folks,
I am new to community. Have been getting help from all of you but posting for the 1st time. I have At&t H931 V30. Stuck on android Oreo July 2018 security patch. Have gone through Frankenstein process post and ready to convert to US998 carrier just to enjoy the slice of pie.
Now Im confused it to the point that do I need to do WTF method as well to unlock bootloader for pie upgradation. I don't want to root the device. Just want to flash latest android pie on my V30. At&t has officially launched pie update in sept 2019 but I understand there is no kdz file and this is the only way.
Help would be much appreciated. LGUP dual mode also confused me. What if i only follow LGUP method and not go with the repatched version.
Thanks in advance

You don't need to use WTF INSTRUCTIONS just to Frankenstein to US998 and update to US998 Pie.
WTF instructions are ONLY for Bootloader Unlock, installing TWRP and Root.
This is what you want. See post #1:
AT&T H931/Sprint LS998 conversion to US998 to be able to get updates
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/how-to/ls998-h931-how-to-update-t3927155
It will explain and take you to Frankenstein instructions...
After TEMPORARILY downgrading to US998 Nougat, then Master Reset (all explained in the Frankenstein instructions). But instead of upgrading to Oreo, you would flash US998 Pie from the Pie KDZ thread.
See post #2 for Pie KDZ:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/development/us998-lg-v30-us998-us99830a000704-kdz-t3952256
EDIT:
However, some people have not been able to update to the US998 Pie. If that happens, you can always use the Canada H933 Nougat then Pie KDZ conversion.
Since you don't care about root, that would work well for you, if you can't update to US998 Pie (it's a wonky KDZ).
H933 has more LTE bands than US998, actually...
Thanks will do that
Just one more thing I also checked my phones imei is not of original at&t LG V30 infact it is showing of some other phone. Its working till now. Would pie update change the imei or if not can it cause some issue later on? I hope imei would remain the same

No, IMEI is not touched by anything we do in this V30 forum. At least nothing in any of my instructions. Your IMEI will remain the same.
