I'm a little confused as to why I am currently having this issue.
I'm on 20H US998 firmware currently in India and have unlocked band 40 using the T-Mobile hidden menu so theoretically I should be able to get full LTE coverage around India on this device but I am not able too.
My theory is that the US version of the V30 doesnt actually have the required firmware to operate on Jio with LTE at all.
I've verified this by flashing Lineage OS and getting the same issue.
SIM detected, jumps on network, no LTE = no VoLTE
Before you tell me I have the APN settings skewed im 99% sure I am right on that, however if anyone has any settings they would like me to try I would be happy too as currently I'm using my iPhone SE and I miss my 1440p OLED when I'm out and about

Jio VoLTE only works on two firmware -- ESA (India) H930DS and recent EU H930. I've only heard it working on H930DS phone, while using one of those two firmwares.
Just because you "unlocked" a band in hidden menu doesn't mean it's actually working. Same with unlocking the T-Mobile LTE band 71 on rooted US998.

Jio uses LTE bands 3, 5, 40. You're not going to get LTE band 40 on the US998, but you can get LTE bands 3 and 5. If you are in area where Jio has LTE bands 3 and 5, you should get a regular data connection. Do you live in an area where Jio uses only LTE band 40?

I don't think you understand. I'm able to get service where other devices I own are connecting to 3, and 5. However, the LTE icon never shows, preventing me from getting LTE connectivity altogether. I'm observing the same behaviour with my US SIM card which shows bars, but once more no LTE.

That sounds like an authorization issue, with Jio. Where you can see bars but not actually connect it's because the carrier is not letting you connect.

Maybe it’s my Sprint IMEI number??? Idk. I just tried to flash the H930 EU TWRP zip and restored my US998 modem, but SIM wasn’t detected. Maybe I need LGUP.

I was double check the APN, and contact Jio technical support. Maybe they need to do something on their end for your US998 to connect.

So now that all variants besides the T-Mobile V30 have root I am hoping maybe that opened up more options to get more USA bands working on my India H930DS.
I read a few threads about adding bands on older phones with root access particularly this one for the Galaxy s5:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....o-add-rf-lte-frequency-bands-to-t2886059/amp/
It details the whole process of adding extra 3g and LTE bands on a rooted s5 with custom rom/kernel. He also states it should work on any Qualcomm based devices.
My question is will something like this work on newer devices such as my H930DS V30+?
Also i am not sure but i am assuming the "ids" he mentions in the steps 17-23 are going to be different?
Can any experts here confirm weather the process in the thread i linked would be relevant for my purposes or any other methods that can take advantage of root to add/enable more bands?
Ah come on. Someone at least give me some hope that i can keep this phone.
Back in 2015 we tried that Qualcomm method with Moto Quarks (Moto Maxx, Moto Turbo) and it didn't work. I don't know about LG phones.
I think no only one is answering because they really don't know.
All I know is when you flash Sprint LS998 to US998, it takes on those bands and loses a couple of Sprint bands. Sprint guy @JWnSC reflashed Sprint modem and got them back. So it IS possible to add/remove LTE bands from the V30. Whether it's possible in the way you need, I don't know. You're crossing hemispheres.
Alright thanks for the answer. I just don't want to go through the whole process of bl unlock and root just to find out I can't even get the tools to connect to the phone and read/write the bands or something stupid like that.

I can add, when I flashed the VS996 modem back after BL unlock/root, the hidden menu did not show the additional bands that, according to GSMArena, should have been present (46 & 66). Instead, it showed the native US998 bands and my connection was screwed up.
It may have been something I did or didn't do... I don't know.

Here's what I don't understand. If you flashed the H930 over your H930DS phone, these are the bands you should have...
If you have"H930" (either actual or converted), you will have these bands:
2G GSM: 900 / 1800 / 1900

So what bands are you missing that you need to add? I know Sprint users want LTE band 26 and 41, which can be added back by flashing the Sprint modem. I know T-mobile users would love LTE band 71 (probably not going to happen). Verizon users want Wi-Fi calling back and that's been solved.
But you SHOULD already be getting LTE on AT&T or T-mobile on the existing bands.

That is the problem I'm encountering. I flashed the H930 kdz on my H930DS and I am still not getting the H930's bands, only the H930DS'. I'm not sure if I did something wrong here. I also tried to use partition dl mode in LGUP to flash only modem, xbl and xbl2 from the H930 kdz but still no change. Any help?
I don't know, maybe 66? I think 66 is extension of band 4 right? Something I read somewhere. All I know is nothing I tried would let me get anything better than a 2g/edge connection at home and a 3g connection in town. It was constantly only being able to get 2g that bothered me. If I could have gotten a consistent 3g/hspa connection I would have been more than happy with it. Anyways I just gave up and sold it.
Which bands are you missing?
The bands listed for the H930 earlier is not correct either. It supports a few more than that.
---------- Post added at 08:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 PM ----------
According to GSMArena, India uses these bands: LTE 850 (5), LTE 1800 (3), LTE 2100 (1), LTE 2300 (40), LTE 2500 (41). All of them except 41 is supported by the H930DS. It sounds more like your APN settings were wonky.
All I know is with the same SIM card I am getting LTE+ connection on my new essential PH1 in the same spot I was only able to get 2g connection with the h930ds.
So has anyone figured out a way to add LTE bands to their US998?
I am stuck with AT&T H931 firmware mainly because I don't want to lose band 30. The more I dig into the AT&T firmware, the more I dislike what the big brother did.

Because your H930DS is not made for North American carriers. It's missing most North American carrier LTE bands. So, all you could receive is 2G bands.
Has nothing to do with SIM card, has everything to do with you not researching what you bought. .
You should have bought Open Market US998 V30+.

You can root and debloat the AT&T firmware if you wish.
So my phone has been running great since the conversion and still flys on ATT LTE, however I am a Mobile rep and I switch carriers on occasion, hence why I was wondering if the US998 modems actually enables the 800mhz CDMA band and allows me to use the verizon LTE bands.
Im not new to flashing and trying things out, and I can easily get my hands on a verizon android sim (yes there is a difference) to test anything.
Thoughts?

The US998 is the "carrier unlocked" version, and many people have used US998 on Verizon, so there's no question the US998 has that band.
Converting any other North America phone to that should let you have all those bands of the US998.

Ill have to test APN settings and clean boot with a verizon sim then. Ive tested a sim and it pulled phone number, but was still looking for signal.
Try making a backup in TWRP, and then flash JUST the Verizon system partition and see what you get.
rild is the daemon that talks to the modem, and Verizon may be slightly different.

Im sorry my English is not very good. But is unbelievable that H931 doesn't show UMTS 900 band on official description and doing the Frankenstein conversion you can add that UMTS 900 band. So it means that is disabled wow.
Another question. If the H931 AT&T model is not unlocked and I do the convertion then will be unlocked? Or I have to buy the unlock code for the IMEI???

OP, can you confirm that you can use LTE band 13 on your H931 (AT&T) Frankenstein phone? I converted my VS996 to US998 10b, unlocked bootloader, updated to 20e (KDZ), and rooted with magisk 17.3. I can use T-Mobile VoLTE but can't connect to their LTE band 12. I've tried the US998 Hidden Menu hack by using T-Mobile's LTE band menu and selecting LTE bands 2, 4, 12, 66, and 71. When I leave only band 12 selected I only get 3G or 2G EDGE. Maybe T-Mobile doesn't like my phone's IMEI as it's from Verizon. On AT&T, I never got stable LTE because my old G4 was from T-Mobile, and it always dropped to 3G after a while. If hardware isn't the issue then it leads me to believe T-Mobile whitelists only their branded devices for band 12.

I get the success message when clicking on band 13 in the hidden menu. I am using the latest stock US998 rom. Its given me the best reception and still runs fluid as can be.
Also, did you just insert your sim card into the phone from your previous device or did you manually enter your IMEI to your phone number in your T-Mobile account? Is the sim card brand new or several years old? Not being nosey or questioning your ability, just making sure your device properly activated on T-Mobiles network for best network performance. I don't think T-Mobile is picky with verizon IMEIs as 99% of verizon phones are sim unlocked out of the box and T-mobile likes to advertise towards verizon customers.

My T-Mobile service is actually through Tracfone. I activated it on a G5 H830 (TMO), and then moved over to a V20 H910 (AT&T). I did notice poorer reception on the V20 because I rarely locked into band 12. I always had excellent reception on the G5 and frequent band 12. I tried this SIM just now on a Canadian G6 H873 from Videotron, went into hidden menu *#546368#*873# -> Field test -> Modem settings -> LTE Band Selection -> Band 12. I instantly got Band 12 locked in, but went back to Automatic mode: (Field Test -> Network Mode -> Automatic). This band selection menu leaves you locked to that LTE band only, and you can't select multiple, so I went back and got Band 4 which is stronger in my house. If it were rooted, there's a hidden LTE menu that allows you to select multiple bands (through "tmo only" and iot menu, search LTEBand and BandSelection in shortcut master lite when rooted). Doing this on my VS996 -> US998 it falls back to 3G as it can't find Band 12 for some reason. I've tried wiping the modemst1 and modemst2 partitions to no avail. I'm now on the AS998 (ACG or C-Spire?) 20b KDZ. It should be identical to the LS998 (Sprint) modem and supports bands 2, 4, and 12. I kept TWRP recovery by not flashing the recovery in LGUP, INSTANTLY GO INTO FACTORY RESET (Power + Vol up) or else recovery will be wiped, flashed magisk 17.3, Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt, lg-rctd-disabler, erased modemst1/2, and booted up. The hidden menu in the AS998 has all bands greyed out in the hidden menu only accessible through root, and the LTE band selection menu reports FAILED on all bands, so it's locked to the stock bands of the AS998/LS998. I'll report later on my findings.
TWRP Terminal command to wipe modemst1 and modemst2:
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst1 bs=16384
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst2 bs=16384

I want band 12, I just found it amazing that OP has band 13 and CDMA on his H931 -> US998. Mainly because the H931 is GSM and shouldn't come with an ESN/pESN, just IMEI and MEID. And due to Verizon being picky about devices. I had an RS988 G5 and that didn't work well with them.

Not mine, I converted a VS996 -> US998 and don't get band 12 or 17. I the same SIM on a G6 from Canada (H873) and band 12 works on Tracfone via T-Mobile and on AT&T (prepaid).

No one else has said this, in fact the opposite.
I'm not talking about T-mobile at all, as they have put specific requirements on their band 12 due toWifi calling, etc.
But many are using us998 on T-mobile, whether converted or original.
That doesn't prove you don't have band 12. Also, ATT no longer calls band 17 as 17. On all newer phones, it's band 12, as 17 is a subset of 12. If you look at the H931 specs it says "12" , not 17. Their 12 is fully interoperable with T-mobile band 12 and includes 17.
Guys, since chipset (SD835) on v30 supports 3CA, while OP5/5T supports LTE+ on Indian carriers Jio and airtel,
Does LG v30 - Indian H930DS model support LTE+ on Jio by any chance?

Guys, since chipset (SD835) on v30 supports 3CA, while OP5/5T supports LTE+ on Indian carriers Jio and airtel,
Does LG v30 - Indian H930DS model support LTE+ on Jio by any chance?

Yes.
There's also a dedicated India thread where it's all been discussed.

If so, I would buy this right away, if H930DS supports LTE+ and VoLTE in custom ROMs. Need to confirm if VoLTE works in LOS..
This "VoLTE" in custom ROMs at XDA has been recently evolving as taboo..!
Anyways, do you use custom ROMs in your V30..?
EDITED TO CORRECT MISINFORMATION. YOU DO NOT LOSE DUAL SIM card functionality.

The Indian LG V30+ supports Jio VoLTE on stock India Nougat. Oreo for that region has not been released yet, and while you can flash to another region to get Oreo then you would lose the Jio VoLTE.
You can only get root by flashing to H930 or the CIS H930DS OREO KDZ.
Perhaps with root you can flash parts back to get VoLTE like the Verizon guys have done -- or even 2nd SIM back -- but I can't promise that.

Thanks for your help, but I'd want to clarify the context little clear.
As you might know, Jio is LTE-only carrier and VoLTE is the only way of calling in that network. However, my question is about something else, viz. LTE+ - The capability of the phone to support certain LTE features like multiple carrier aggregations (CA), 256QAM, 64x64MIMO
Here in India, two carriers namely, Airtel and Jio have enabled LTE-CA in major cities. Hence I would want to know since some V30 Indian guys were confirming me LTE+ in Stock ROM - if LTE+ is supported even in custom ROM after BL unlock?
(Reason, why I'm looking for this, is, networks here are so much congested that during peak time, I hardly get 200kBps from single Band40-TDD LTE cell. If LTE+ is available on custom ROMs like in OP5/6 it will help get over this congestion)

I don't know. I also just corrected my post for quoted. You don't lose dual SIM functionality with bootloader unlock and root on the H930.

Hi, just like volte support on our indian stock, the lte+ also works only Indian stock too.
I am currently on Boobox rom rooted with twrp and bootloader unlocked I dont get lte+. Rest assured everything is working great and on lte+ I saw nothing of much improvement over airtel since they have started to compete with jio prices.
So take my words root it and feel the freedom.

Thanks for stepping-in! I thought I wont get any further replies..
In my case, Jio has CA in 3 bands (Bands 3+5+40). And the place where I reside has pathetic network reception. I was about to switch to airtel, until I saw my friend OP5 getting marvellous speeds at the same place.
Also in your case, airtel has 2 bands CA (Bands 3+40). And since Band 3 will be so much congested, you wouldn't have got any considerable difference. Hence It should theoretically improve connectivity with my Jio..., However, before I jump, Can you install root app called NSG and share its screenshot?

Can you specify which screenshot you exactly looking as this app has more then 10 screens.
FYI it still has lte bands 1, 3, 5, 40 and 41 which are required in India.

I'm looking for LTE CA Matrix and LTE Cell Table pages
My current Redmi Note 4 though supports 2CA, some support on modem is missing it seems... Hence it's showing LTE+ in mine despite not aggregating with 2nd cell. I was suspecting LTE+ to be still there, but may be your ROM isn't showing you.. Hence those Screenshots would help understand that..
Attaching my device screenshots..

How did you do that?
Can you provide proof like with LTE Discovery screenshot?
If true, you're going to be a hero and cause a lot of excitement...
Even with root and "enabling" via T-Mobile network hidden menu, no one in the past few months could get LTE band 71 to actually be used on US998. We gave up.

@guytano86 should use Network Signal Guru since they state they are rooted. It should present the most accurate, and complete info.

Yes. See the WTF bootloader unlock and root thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/how-to/wtf-lg-v30-t3790500
So...have we cleared up the discrepancy about whether or not band 71 works on the us998 model?
---------- Post added at 03:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:45 PM ----------
Also, anyone know the difference between models us998 and us998u? I'm looking to get a used one from eBay but it appears people use these model numbers synonymously. And us998 is the us Cellular version...and locked version as well? Huh?
(BTW my goal: I have TMobile and really want a rootable phone that will work on band 71 with wifi calling - are we there yet?)
Thanks everyone! Amazing community we have here!!

OnePlus 6 meets that requirement. Then next month the Pixel 3 will be out with B71 already confirmed and will be unlockable.
Maybe the Moto Z3 Play, E5 Play/Plus (only the versions sold by TMobile) can be bootloader unlocked but not sure.

Yeah, but he wants a premium phone.
Like with IP68 (or ANY IP rating), Qi wireless charging, QHD 1440P resolution.
OnePlus is a pretender, not a real premium phone.

@ChazzMatt I've seen your name pop up quite a bit about this band 71 functionality, but haven't read anywhere you personally ever got it to work. Yet in this thread 2 people claim they got it to work. Any updates? Have you ever gotten it to work or seen actual evidence others have? Thank you kindly!

I don't use T-mobile, I use AT&T so the T-mobile Band 71 wouldn't show with my SIM card. AT&T doesn't use Band 71 and I have no roaming on the AT&T Prepaid plan I use.
I do know we cannot flash T-mobile modem as I was hoping, due to the different RSA encryption LG/T-mobile mandated for the H932 (different from all the other North American variants, for some reason).
But yes, others say they have gotten Band 71 on rooted US998, with T-mobile SIM card using various tricks like the Shortcut Master Lite, etc. I have no way of confirming what they say.

And more importantly, I don't think anyone has provided definitive proof so I'm just going with misunderstanding on their part until then. :fingers-crossed:

Thanks for the replies Gents.
I currently have a LG V20. Where I work is probably 3 miles from a Verizon tower. We have very weak signal out here, and sometimes I can't even get texts for a while.
Which of these 3 phones have the best cell reception?
Depends on the Verizon bands available in your area!
If Verizon have band 46/66 support in the area, V30/G7 will be better. Otherwise they are probably gonna be all the same.

Yes. OR if Verizon soon adds support for these bands where you live
And that's because the V20 can NOT receive those bands but V30/G7 can.
Like back when AT&T started adding LTE band 5 all over the country as a supplemental band, in addition to 2, 4, 17 (now called 12). You needed a newer phone or you never saw LTE band 5... Was used in areas of congestion.
Since this is the V30 forum, my vote is on the V30 of course.

LTE Discovery app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.simplyadvanced.ltediscovery&hl=en_US
If you keep it on while you drive, it will keep a record of all bands you lock onto.
You can also use it while standing still to see what band is near where you are, of course.
CDMA SHUTDOWN
Also be aware that in six months (December 31, 2019) Verizon is dropping 3G CDMA -- so all you will have is 4G LTE. To make phone calls you will need either LTE VoLTE or Wi-Fi calling.

Somehow the ZTE Axon 7 (not even a Verizon device) has Verizon VoLTE on Lineage. (Or did a couple years ago. Have not checked recently.) It was a mystery the dev either could not explain or did not want to explain, at that time.
