I have a Sprint V30, and I'm seriously annoyed with not having an update to Pie. I've read in some places that you can use LGUP to flash a LG-LS998 with a US998 kdz. Is that true? Or will that screw up my phone?

But you still use Sprint, right?
Most people do that to either
1) carrier unlock LS998 by flashing Open Market US998 firmware, which also changes radio/modem
OR
2) to bootloader unlock and install TWRP custom recovery -- at which point if they are Sprint customers they often then flash back to Sprint firmware (while keeping TWRP and root). Because US998 modem/radio doesn't have all the Sprint LTE bands. For Sprint customers, the Frankenstein LS998 to US998 flash is temporary necessity for bootloader unlock only.

@ChazzMatt actually held off on 9.0 as well as many people regret updating to 9.0 such as myself. The only real difference in this update is LG UX8. 9.0 just doesn't offer much.
Remember, this is not a Pixel. Those users NEED updates to try to catch up to features regular users actually have.

1) Because most custom ROMs don't work right once phone is updated to Pie. I have clear warning in every Pie KDZ thread I maintain. Even if you downgrade back to stock Oreo, if try to install custom ROM you then have run a permissive kernel for camera to work and even then some sensors may be messed up.
2) On stock Pie, some apps we like to use like Shortcut Master won't work.
There's nothing currently in stock Pie that's better than stock Oreo. Except for the minor upgrade to UX8.0. But it doesn't look any different. The camera is the same, etc.
Here's what is podted5:

@ChazzMatt can you the following warning/disclaimer to the first post:
If you flash pie KDZ then AOSP/(Lineage) ROMs like LOS, RR, havoc won't work properly.
Even if you flash (downgrade back to) Oreo KDZ and then flash AOSP ROMs, the camera and flashlight won't work on enforcing but will work on permissive.
But even on permissive a few sensors other than the camera may not work. This will be the case until AOSP ROMs with Pie blobs come.

Sure, I'll link to your post. I already say not to update to Pie yet if you wish to unlock bootloader.
I'll also add note not to update to Pie yet if you wish to run ASOP/Linage custom ROMs with link to your post. Then when the issue is fixed I can remove that specific warning.

Not the Quad DAC itself, but a very important feature added on several months ago -- DTS 3D Stereo -- doesn't work with a popular media player on Pie.
Basically there's nothing about Pie that is neccesary to have and several things right now that can cause problems.

Do you mean H930DS?
Yes, we even have H930DS TWRP flashable zips.
We even have a mod from Australia with an H930DS, rooted of course.
Yes, all V30 variants on Pie have DTS.
All V30 variants on last 2 or 3 Oreo updates (released in 2019) also have it EXCEPT for Canada H933. H933 never got an Oreo update with DTS libs for some reason. (They can always convert to 2019 US998 Oreo and have it.)
But all have it on Pie.

Sprint LS998 does NOT have Pie yet. Sprint 30a is Oreo, breaking all the naming convention.
If you update to LS998 30a, you will have latest and probably last Oreo for that variant.

Oh! So how does 30a compare to 27a? Better, faster, more stable, I hope? I'm unclear if it includes the DirectX3D sound? I hope so because that made the sound good enough I felt like I don't need Viper4Android anymore.

It still includes DTS 3D Stereo, yes.
It has newer Security patch.
So, looks like the Sprint V30 is never getting official Android Pie. Is there any way to get Android Pie while also keeping it working with Sprint?

After almost a month's worth of use, I'm not noticing any difference in performance. Admittedly I'm still running the ROM with as many different things disabled/restricted due to the battery drain issue I had running Nougat. I'll have to see about performing a factory reset and see how well it performs.
Will keep you posted

You can install Google Lens, which does the same thing. Only some regions (maybe Korea?) get the LG branded Q lens.

Just sold my OP6 anticipating on getting the 6T or P3 but switched to Sprint and couldn't pass up the $5 month V30. I wasn't expecting OP6 performance but in the one game I play, Hill Climb Racing 2 the graphics are not smooth. I mean I have a Pixel 1 with a Snapdrgon 821 that plays it great. Anyway, I disabled a lot of bloat apps with pm uninstall in ADB, set the mentioned grahic setting in Developer options .5x ect. and set the game to low res in gaming mode. Tried for a couple days now with multiple factory resets and combos and I just don't get it. The rest of the phone is great. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thinking of rooting but much prefer the easy methods of the Pixel and OnePlus. Since I'm on Oreo Aug patch I'm not sure if I can even Frankenstein back to Nougat? TIA

You can, but your decision.
The Nougat part would only be temporary anyway. You go to Nougat US998, then you immediately upgrade to Oreo US998 20Aor 20b. You unlock Bootloader using WTF, root and then you update back to latest Oreo, or even custom ROM like Pie.
Thanks, most likely will do that, haven't read all the threads and wasn't sure if there is any anti-rollback since the exploit was found.

Finally got around to trying it. Flashed successfully on Alphas Oreo ROM which is stock LG but phone just gets stuck on LG boot screen. Had to dirty flash to get back up and running so it doesn't appear to work on V20 Oreo at least for TMobile H918 variant.

We'll get more security patches due to the Enterprise Recommended agreement with Google.
3 years, at least every 90 days. But ticking clock didn't go into effect until Oreo upgrade which was 2nd quarter - 3rd quarter 2018.
So, theoretically updates through mid-2021.
