Not true. H939DS Oreo is posted down in Development. Been released for awhile.
If you're talking about a specific regional flavor, please clarify and don't make a blanket statement?
"The Oreo KDZ for MY H930DS has not been released yet."
But you can flash the KDZ for the H930DS posted -- and before that was released, we found H930DS could even flash H930 KDZ.
However, VoLTE for India carriers doesn't work with those H930DS/H930 KDZ, which is problematic for Jio in particular. But others have flashed the H930DS and H930 Oreo KDZ and are quite happy for now until their regional Oreo is released. Depends on your situation.

i have this version of 930DS and i still have no oreo update via ota ... I know i can flash it but there is no point for lg to not release the update by ota ...

yes if you are from India/hongkong or have a H930 phone you can flash the OREO KDZ for H930. pretty much everyone got it running. I actullay looked a lot before flashing, So you can try with a positive hope
Hello, I recently updated to pie for LG h930 Europe model. Everything works flawlessly except the mobile data.
It shows in the upper right corner that I am connected to 4g but if I load something, it doesn't.
I have tried adding the Apn manually but no luck and I have loads of mobile data left it's just it doesn't seem to work as in the apps say that I have no connection after trying for like 5 seconds.
I updated to pie from nougat so can that be a problem? I hope not .
Needless to say I am looking for a solution and I couldn't find one so I am making this thread so maybe someone can help me out.
I really don't want to go back to nougat just coz of mobile data but I don't see any other way.

1) No that shouldn't be problem IF you flashed firmware compatible with your V30. I find it strange you had an H930 on Nougat...
2) You don't have to go back to Nougat. You could also go to Oreo and have stable firmware with latest features.

You said something I would like you to clarify. You HAVE an H930 V30 or you just FLASHED firmware for H930 onto some other phone? Tell me what variant you have?
I find it strange you had an H930 on Nougat... whereas lots of US998 bought off eBay are on Nougat because they were Frankensteined from LS998 and the dealers just left them on Nougat.
I have an LG v30 h930 Europe variant and I got it from a guy who had it on Oreo but he downgraded because of better battery life. I updated the phone yesterday through lg up tool using pie kdz firmware that is on the LG firmware site. I noticed today the problem with the mobile data when I was outside and needed to use it.

Downgrade to Oreo 22j -- at least temporarily to see if it fixes it?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79964731&postcount=2
You never want Nougat for anything.
Oreo (especially the latter releases) has better camera features and fixes.
Thank you for your help , finally got it working .
I did a stupid and configured the manual APN wrong so I asked the carrier and they set it right for me so now it's working .
I found this on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-V30-US9...D4AAOSwqj9beX9a:sc:USPSFirstClass!95132!US!-1
I was wondering if this was an actual US998 or a flashed LS998 because some of the feedback claims that this is a LS998. I see 1,800 units were sold so I'm hoping there's atleast one person on this forum who also bought from this seller. Also, I am on T-mobile, so I was wondering how it would affect the functionality of the phone if it were a LS998.

Doesn't matter. I've had both native US998 V30+ and converted US998 V30+ (former LS998)
Once converted, its fully US998. For T-Mobile or AT&T it will work. However, for Verizon, you would need an already-activated SIM card or a very helpful rep willing to break the rules.
I've bought from that seller several times. My brother-in-law, sister, couple of friends are all using former LS998 converted to US998 from that specific seller.

Hi, I just bought a used V30+ and it currently at android 7 Nougat (US99801c). Interestingly, when I tried to upgrade to Android 8 Oreo, the LGUP regconized it as LS998,which I found out later was a Sprint version, and said that my KDZ file was invalid. I'm so confused. Which firmware should I choose to upgrade ? Please help me

Use Dev Patched LGUP, not regular LGUP.
Read the Dev Patched installation instructions carefully.

Hi thanks for replying, my software infomation is US88910c but when plugged for upgrade, it was regconized as LS99820a. I followed your instructions but it didnt work. Do I have to download the nougat version of the US988 first ?

1) you already have US998. Or you say you do... Go into Download mode manually before opening Dev Patched LGUP.
2) if you want to flash US998 Nougat again, see Frankenstein instructions. All the firmware links you need are there. It's how we convert LS998 to US998.

So even if my V30+ US998 is on Android Pie, it can be downgraded with the methods listed above. Correct? I rarely see Pie mentioned >_< Was reading Pie messes something up but that was from a while ago and am just wanting to make sure!

Pie makes changes. People have found charging is slower, and many people complain Wi-Fi signal is weaker. Your mileage may vary. Yet you NEED stock LG Pie as a base to install/run the newer LOS-17 "Android 10" custom ROMs. For people who decide to go back to stock rooted firmware, perhaps with some Magisk mods -- instead of running full custom ROM -- they often make the decision to go back to last stable Oreo.
I have instructions in every Pie KDZ thread how to use Dev Patched LGUP to downgrade back to Oreo. The "Pie problem" you are referring to is many people then have to use permissive kernel for camera/flashlight to work when downgrading, since Pie made changes. Also some other sensors may not work.
If you are down converting back to Oreo because you don't like Pie the best way is to first downgrade to Nougat via Partition DL, then update back to Oreo. This seems to erase the stock Pie effect. Even better (for North American variants, EXCEPT for T-mobile H932!) first flash Canada H933 Nougat via Partition DL mode -- as it has different partition structure (like a sandblaster) -- then go back to US998 Nougat, then US998 Oreo.
For the H930 variants, you shouldn't cross flash to North American variants. Just Partition DL to Nougat H930 and then upgrade back to Oreo.

Thank you! My entire objective is to install Lineage along with Magisk to this phone. So when you say stock LG pie, do you mean any update/version of Pie that comes on the phone when I receive it? Or do I need to specifically have a certain version of Pie? Like if it's on an updated version pushed out OTA for this month vs last month for example. The phone I'm getting is a V30+ US998.

Right now, US998 has only had one Pie KDZ release.
When you get your US998 V30+ it will probably come with Nougat or Oreo and you will have to manually update it. Being totally honest, it will probably be an already-converted LS998 V30+ to US998 V30+. Nothing wrong with that, I've bought several -- my sister and two brothers-in-law use those... But on those, you will never get "OTA". You have to manually update, either via KDZ or TWRP-flashable zip.
If it already has Pie, you will still have to temporarily downgrade to early Oreo to unlock bootloader and root. Then you would update to more current firmware.

Thank you. I was just making sure because I know when I used to root phones back then, security patches and such would sometimes render certain methods unusable. I read that thread but didn't see any mention (probably because it has no issues) of security patches messing with rooting? So that's all I'm making sure of.

Greets to both of you. I know the above quoted posts are several months old, but I'm kinda frustrated over finding reliable phone sellers on eBay and want to ask, can either of you tell me the name of the seller you were talking about here? I've had to return three phones because of various weirdnesses in phones received (ilke one in Danish and another in Chinese) and then it took way too long to get refunded. I could really use a good recommendation. I've got a list of several LG V30s for sale (and half of them are LS998) but hesitant to buy again because of the bad experiences. Message me if preferred, if you can help at all. TIA!

The name of the seller was yywireless. The phone was mostly fine except for a one scratch on the back, a few chips on the side, and the charging port looks like someone missed a lot. Yywireless seems to have raised the prices though.

Thanks! This seller has a loooong list of phones for sale and I don't know yet if he has what I want. If nothing else I'll catalog the name for future reference. The biggest thing is just knowing whether an eBay seller is reliable as to merchandise or not. As for prices, I would definitely pay more to a dependable/honest seller. Thanks again, especially for responding so quickly!

I bought several LS998 V30+ from him. Some were already converted to US998.
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.
