Fresh news! Verizon v40 just got pie before Korea. And i think v30 is not very far. I'm surprised that Korean users don't have pie yet and Verizon just released the pie for v40. I hope v30 get it too quickly.
I'll believe it when I get it. Not critical, but still.... Pixel, or maybe OnePlus for my next phone..... Unless the next iOS finally tempts me (probably not)

Pigs are flying.
Hell has frozen over.
Not only because Korean variants are not first, but because U.S. carrier VERIZON (who is always last with updates) was first. (For V30, Verizon had to do both 20a AND 20b to get all Oreo ThinQ features everyone else got in 20a. So all their future updates were a letter off.)
Someone at LG either has a very sarcastic sense of humor or someone at LG is getting fired...

Hahahahah. Maybe v30 is not far from getting pie. We can hope that we get it at the end of May.
This is great news! I'm sure we'll have it before July at the latest. I hope they make some decent changes to the LG UI and not just port what we have to Pie. I doubt it though :\

From the screenshots for the V35 Pie, it's just porting what we have to Pie. Go to the link below to see V35 Korean Pie screenshots.

Not much change in UI.
-Secondary keyboard keys are a bit funky
-I would consider the circled stuff as bloat/useless
-Ringtone menu items are in Korean
-Running apps slides have rounded edges
Phone runs pretty damn smooth with same/good SOT. I'm on TMobile in Los Angeles & LTE is fast.

Non-Korean V35 have been able to Partition DL to Korean Pie, and everything works. Like U.S. T-Mobile... Not sure if that will be the same for V30. For instance, I know European and Korean V30 radios are incompatible.
Korean variants V35 have had Pie for weeks now. Others will get it in the near future.. At least for U.S. users the Partition DL trick works for now, for them.

Verizon V40 was first in the entire world, not just U.S. Some news articles kept stressing Verizon V40 Pie was for "users in the U.S.", which may give some the impression that there was V40 already for users elsewhere. There's not and that guy below is totally wrong.

In fact, U.S. T-mobile was rumored to be the first to get V40 Pie worldwide (in the world)... U.S. T-mobile even updated their website last week to include Pie notes for their V40 variant. But Verizon beat them to it! However, until it actually happened, I still thought LG was going going to force U.S. carriers to wait until after Korean carriers got V40 Pie. Very strange situation.
I just hope that with v30 pie comes with dts:x without root, i miss that feature from my lg g7.

I don't have any inside information, and I am not trying to claim any great predictive powers. I am merely pointing out that LG has released the Pie source code for LMV405TAB (see link below). And it is about a week ago I first saw it there. So I would assume it is pretty close to release.

I know the locked version will for sure, but what about the unlocked version? If you have any official info, please post it here.

Yes, it will. The unlocked LG G6 US997 released a few months ago vhas Verizon VoLTE, so this will too.

Hi Chazz,
Well here's the problem though. T-Mobile REQUIRED VoLTE to be certified with them before it works. It takes time and money to get certified. But like AT&T and Verizon don't, so not as difficult with them. That's why I'm asking cuz no official word yet on the unlocked V30 getting it. Obviously for sure the locked T-Mobile variant will be VoLTE-certified with T-Mo though.
Yeah Wi-Fi Calling I think is only available on T-Mobile still. I think?

It's coincidentally the U.S.Cellular model number also -- as will be the US998 LG G30.
There's a U.S. unlocked model and a European unlocked model for the LG G6. There's no "international" model.

I will probably still wait for verification on here from someone before I buy the Unlocked one. I want the unlocked one cuz it will be cheaper than the T-Mobile variant.

Hey Chazz,
Any idea if the unlocked US V30's DAC will get B&O Certification like the int'l V20 did (but US V20 didn't)?
What about the locked US ones?? Will any version get it? Update: Ok it looks like the US version won't get it, but the European one will. Oh well. No big deal.
It appears that the unlocked V30 will get released on 10/27. B&H.com shows that date for the US998. I'm very likely going to buy it.

No, I don't know about the B&O certification. It really took me by surprise the U.S. carrier versions didn't have B&O logo on the back and didn't have B&O headphones included. LG made such a big deal about that in the press release...
Yet, all the pre-production "US998" phones lent out for few weeks to U.S.-based tech reporters (which had to be returned after reviews) did have B&O logo and did have the headphones.
(Nobody got "free phones". That was a myth some people were spreading, saying that's why the V30 got such great reviews. People who don't understand how all this works. Yes, it helps for reviewers to have new phones in hand for a couple of weeks prior to global announcement -- with signed non-disclosure agreements -- so they can immediately write about them when embargo is lifted, but those phones are loaners. Nobody gets to keep $800 phones.)
So, does that mean the production official carrier unlocked US998 with also have those B&O features -- since the pre-production model did? Your guess is as good as mine.
I'm hoping the 10/27 date by B&H is not just a placeholder date that will mysteriously morph into 11/14 or something. Just keep in mind 10/27 would be two weeks sooner than the LG G6 US997 was released after carriers started selling their versions. Then, six weeks after that (total of 11 weeks after carrier versions) was the LG G6 US997 (and European counterpart) placed on the official bootloader unlock list. Since I'm not buying until I can root from Day 1, just when B&H starts selling is not as important as the bootloader unlock list.
I'm hoping LG speeds up the total timeline, including adding LG V30 US998 and H930 to the bootloader unlock list. THEN, the real fun can begin. :laugh:

Well it appears that T-Mobile actually IS having a promotion (or promotions) for the locked V30 after all. So I guess I'm just gonna buy the locked one. No sense in waiting. I can just sell the Plus tablet for prob at least $180 on eBay so F it. lol Plus I'm gonna sell my Topaz Gold HTC 10 for maybe $250? and then pay off the remaining $140 I owe on it. They ran out of the Topaz Gold one months ago, so I'm guessing that's why it's going for higher than the other colors (selling for around $200 vs. $300) which they still had available more recently.
Just called T-Mobile now and bought the locked V30 over the phone. I'd still like to thank you so much for all your help & info here! It is VERY much appreciated Chazz.

One thing, the locked T-Mo V30 will have that Band 71/600 MHz capability (first one ever on their network). Do we have any idea if the unlocked V30 will have that too? VoLTE seems pretty likely given your findings on the unlocked G6, but what about this?
Need full system dumps or full images for the locked/unlocked US version to possibly find out the B71 support.
Went through Korean version system dump but couldn't find hints for B71.

Interesting.
Do we know if Korea even has Band 71? That would probably be a good indication of if the unlocked one will get it too.
This is the reason why I went for the T-Mobile locked version............guaranteed Band 71 (though my area doesn't have it, YET lol)........plus guaranteed T-Mo Certified VoLTE. The unlocked V30 I believe probably will have VoLTE, but will it be T-Mo certified VoLTE is the real question for me. With the promo T-Mo is running to get the $500 G6 for free (which I am selling at a profit of course lol.....made more sense to get that vs. the tablet and then profit less) along with your V30 purchase, then the price difference b/t the unlocked and locked versions no longer matters. I'm selling the G6 to a relative, and agreed to $225. That right there puts my $800 locked V30 at below the expected price of the unlocked ($700?) if you subtract that profit from the $800 cost. Yeah I'll have bloatware lol, but I'll just disable or uninstall them.
Thanks for checkin' into this VeixES!

No ! Froyo is coming next week to G6
LG seems to have no love for the G6 in Europe, still being on the July Security patch clearly shows this.
Reason for this could possibly down to poor sales in Europe as the rapid drop in price since launch seems to reflect this somewhat.
Eitherway the G6 will get Oreo no doubt about that, the Asian Markets will get it first then other Market's with Europe more likely being last.
So don't be surprised if we don't see it until Spring next year at the earliest in Europe. :/

It' LGs fault that the phone is sold that bad in europe, because it's the worst version of G6 and not cheaper.
That the price is dropping that fast is a logical consequence...
If there would be better marketing (availability in stores) and support, the phone would sell much better!
Weird, I've got January 2018 security patch - much more recent than July. And, I'm in Europe too.

As far as I know January 2018 is the last security patch avaible for the H870 - I have that patch on my phone too.
Very disappointing.....we will update ....we will update....bla bla bla ....but when?
As a Canadian G6 user, I can tell LG could care less about the European market. I'm still waiting for Oreo on my device.
They keep saying they're gonna update the phone, yet they can't even give us a date for when the update is going to be released.
I know updating a phone is easier said than done, but why are they taking so goddamn long? I mean, they managed to get the V30 to Oreo within a year of its release. It can't be that difficult, can it?
I'd like to bring up the story of the forgotten LG G4 that only got Nougat in South Korea, because I think it's relevant to this. History tends to repeat itself.

When it comes to v30 there is only 2 weeks delay beetween Canada and Europe. And around 4 month between Canada and Korea. So if oreo for g6 hits Korea this month , maybe by the end of the year OTA will arive to Canada and Europe xD

I'm sure the answer is that it won't work, but I want to confirm.
Will doing this ruin LG Pay when it's eventually released in the US or will there be a way to fix it IE Magisk or something.
Recently switched from an S8 and I miss Samsung Pay.
like the look of the V30S, especially since it's $230 cheaper than the V35. Has anyone actually bought and tried it? I'd like to use it on Verizon and it has all the right bands to work but I want to be sure. And it would be nice to know if it's Treble enabled.

As a user of Straight Talk, which uses Verizon networks, the phone works just fine.
Switched from an S8+ to this. So far I'm liking it. The only real difference I've noticed is that it's only slightly smaller. Battery great. 50% after 12 hours. About four of which it was used.
V30S on the way
Sweet my V30S is on the way from B&H!!
Cheers

I'm sure the answer is that it won't work, but I want to confirm.
Will doing this ruin LG Pay when it's eventually released in the US or will there be a way to fix it IE Magisk or something.
Recently switched from an S8 and I miss Samsung Pay.

You can use Magisk to hide bootloader unlock and root.
You need to ask these questions over in the V30 forum. The V30S is just another V30 "Joan" variant, like the V30+. They are all "Joan" devices, same TWRP works for all, same ROMs work for all.
The LG V35 is the one that is different that need their own forum! V30S is just another V30, but with more RAM.

Are the V30S and V30 (and V30+, and...) stock ROMs the same? In the V30 forum, for the latest 20E update, you wrote:
NOTE: This is for all V30/V30+ US998 -- open market US998 V30/V30+ as well as U.S Cellular US998 V30/V30+.

"V30s" is not in the list. Is that because it's not compatible... or because LG has mucked up the model numbers so much that it's hard to keep straight and it was accidentally omitted? lol
I thought the V30S has Google Lens and more AI options in the camera and voice controls, hence the ThinQ in the model name. Like the G7 has. If all this is true... Does that mean I could flash the V30S stock ROM to my V30 (US998, 64GB, 4GB) and get those extra features?! Or, am I wrong, and the stock V30S ROM is the same as my stock V30 ROM? Where can I even get the V30S stock ROM? It's not in the V30 forum, nor is it here.
I know that LG has cast off the shackles of the traditional release cycle, and is releasing much more iterative updates more frequently... so... at what point does the hardware diverge enough to prevent cross-flashing the stock ROMs among versions?
Thanks for the help. I've been happily humming along with my US998 on 20B lately, and just recently played with a G7 and Google Lens in the camera. Now I'm digging a little and getting confused.

Yes, ALL V30/V30+/V30S are ThinQ, with Oreo. ALL the US998 V30/V30+/V30S use the SAME KDZ.

LG says Q2 2019. So, sometime between April and end of June.
That was my prediction from the beginning -- last year when it started being discussed. And I was right. LG finally confirmed it in January.
Basically about the same time of year they delivered Oreo last year.

I heard those dates for the Korean version, which would put us in 3q.
Desperately hoping that's wrong!

No, because the article also specifically mentioned the V30S, which is a US998 variant. All US998 firmware is the same for US998 V30/V30+/V30S.
https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/...dule-for-south-korea-v35-and-v40-are-up-next/
the V40, V30, and V30S will have to wait until Q2 2019 (ends on June 30).

Even if LG tried to release Pie for just US998 V30S, it's still ALL of US998. Well, I mean I would feel sorry for the H930 variants and H932, but the rest of North America variants can flash US998 firmware. But I'm fairly certain it's ALL V30 variants in Q2. You can't say V30 and V30S and then leave out any.
From the Reddit thread:
LG also posted a list of LG phones that will receive Pie in Korean. Availability may vary depending on your region.
2019 Q1: G7, V35
2019 Q2: V40, V30, V30S
2019 Q3: G6, V20, Q8 (2018)
2019 Q4: Q9, X5 (2018)

Not all V30S are US998 variants though
The V300LW/KW/SW are korean V30S(+). So could very well be that "we" all will receive pie only in Q3, while the koreans still get it in Q2.
One thing is certain, LG is not a brand for those who love having an updated phone, given this behavior, my next smartphone will certainly not be LG !!

@SGCMarkus, thank you for the information about the Korean V30S. I hadn't run across the Korean variants of the V30S, but with the model numbers you supplied it was now easy to find.
I also knew while initially LG had also announced a 256GB V30S+, I never saw any proof it actually released. Here in the U.S. only the 128GB V30S was released, basically a V30+ with 6GB RAM.
But here are the details for anyone else who is interested in the V30S:

I still have a Nexus 5 in a drawer and I know the Google updates, you don't have to tell me what I have to take, when Huawei, Samsung, Xiaomi, Nokia, Asus, Motorola .. etc etc .. they already have Android 9, once LG was held in step but lately, on the software side, it is not its value

If you want quick updates, you go Google. All those OEM's listed still update slow. Maybe except for Nokia, which no one is buying anyway. Everyone else is all pretty slow.
People aren't buying any of those guys for the updates. They're buying them for what the phones offer out of the box.
If you bought an LG phone and you were seriously expecting reasonable updates, you haven't been paying attention.
So go whine about not buying an LG phone again because it's not being updated fast enough for you. That should have been apparent with their history of slow updates.

Can we just all agree we know LG is bad about updates? No need to go back and forth.
Yet LG promised about a year ago to do better. So there's some disappointment there, in spite of their acknowledged bad history before that.

It's old news that LG is bad about updates. Everyone should know that. It's foolish to have believed their promise that they would do better without any substantial proof to support that claim.
I got the V30 because it was a good purchase out of the box. I bought this phone knowing that I'd be upgrading to a phone with the latest software before this phone was updated. I've used a lot of LG phones. [emoji2377]
They don't surprise me. They shouldn't surprise anyone at this point. I'd have been surprised if they lived up to their promise for faster updates.

September 31.
Considering LG just pulled EU H930 Pie after prematurely releasing it, no one knows. Asking won't help, because the carriers aren't going to sign off on buggy release. And US998 will come AFTER North American carrier release.
Even the carriers don't know because they're probably still testing or waiting for LG to give them a better version.

Why do you need to convert to H933? US998 has it's own buggy 28a beta.
Look, there's a reason all the Pie KDZ threads have "how to downgrade back to Oreo" instructions.
And reasons many people installed the betas then immediately went back to Oreo. There's apparently really nothing compelling and there's still bugs.
