Update Stock After Root - LG V30 Questions & Answers

Hi! I'm rooted (Magisk) with xposed (NOT the systemless one). I just found an update (v20c Aug 7). I'm on stock Oreo running v20b-ESA-XX. My model is h930ds.
Can I update without doing anything else? I'm kind of doubting that. If not, what's the process. I tried some google searches but came up with nothing.
Thanks!

If u have the .kdz file, try using LGUP patched, uncheck the recovery box, so u still have TWRP.
Magisk etc will lost, but u can do that again with TWRP.

You can also use TWRP and Titanium Backup to restore data to apps.

Appreciate the info. New to this device and was quite unsure how to proceed. Was always used to flashing custom roms after getting TWRP, but it looks like the DAC is broken on custom roms for tuis phone. So I'm staying on stock for now.
Gonna have to find the ptached LGUP.

It's attached to every stock KDZ thread I've started (down where the ROMs are) as well as being attached to the Frankenstein instructions post I wrote.

You can use the quad DAC on custom ROMs, but to ENSURE that function you need to use one of two specific apps.
1) This one is the best, but is a paid app ($8).
USB PLAYER PRO
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.extreamsd.usbaudioplayerpro&hl=en
It accesses the V30 quad DAC, not the Snapdragon DAC. It will even play streaming music via quad DAC, not just local files.
High quality media player supporting USB audio DACs and HiRes audio chips found in the latest phones. Play up to any resolution and sample rate that the DAC supports! All popular and less popular formats are supported, including wav, flac, mp3, m4a and DSD.
This app is a must-have for every audiophile, bypassing all audio limits of Android. Whether you use our custom USB audio driver for USB DACs, our HiRes driver for internal audio chips or the standard Androi driver, this app is one of the highest quality media players around.

2) There's another app (free) that will also access the quad DAC, but only local files.
Onkyo HF Player
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.onkyo.jp.musicplayer&hl=en_US
But USB PLAYER PRO is the better of the two.

Now i feel dumb. Lol. Thank you. I really appreciate this.
I have USB Player Pro, and I'm currently using it. But I don't have good earphones yet so I use the stock player and Neutron (which works for me for now). They sound much better with the earphones I currently have (stock B&O and BT earphones that came with the device).
Again, thank you. I apologize for not searching hard. I'll do better next time.
