Hey everyone,
I recently picked up an unlocked US998 V30 and for whatever reason it's saying there is no update to 9.0 Pie. It's stuck on 8.0 and even the LG Bridge and other Windows software says there is no update. I was under the assumption that all V30 models got Pie. Is there something I can do to upgrade?

Yes.
Go to the US998 Pie KDZ thread. Read post #2 and #6. Update manually by following the instructions. Be aware, this US998 Pie is wonky.

No, not all V30 have Pie. Sprint LS998 still doesn't, nor some H930DS regions.

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 ...
content://media/external/file/159809
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
Hi guys i did sent email to LG India for Oreo update, they are not sure also. It's longer and longer waiting for Oreo for LG h930ds Indian version.
No Oreo updates on LG bridge also. Why this model stuck on the android version 7.1.2 that was out of the box.
So frustrating LG India H930DS model.
If like this next time i won't buy LG phone from India.

Well if you want to update, search on the other thread, there is one where you can update to Oreo by using the Uppercut and the LGUP software over the pc.
But i believe the update will come soon sometime this month, just checked on the G6 forum and i heard that finally the H870DS version has started to see oreo in APAC region so I'm pretty sure that H930DS will be the next in line as well within days.

Not only to have Oreo, but for bootloader unlock and root and to have freedom.
Ability to run custom ROMs like Boombox.
You can use CIS H930DS OREO KDZ or H930 Oreo KDZ. In both those threads, I have LGUP attached, which you can use to easily upgrade to Oreo. OR you can go one step further, and bootloader unlock and root before LG releases the update that will BLOCK that.
Lots of India users have done that.
See post #193 of the WTF thread.. Full instructions are there for bootloader unlock and root.

No, you can have latest US998 20D Oreo in like 10 minutes with simple upgrade, keeping all your data. Try looking down in the development section for US998 Oreo KDZ.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/development/us998-lg-v30-us998-us99820a040330-kdz-t3786337
In fact, WTF bootloader unlock and root depends on the Oreo bootloader unlock exploit. If you care about bootloader unlock and root, update to like 20B first, unlock the bootloader, then update to 20D.
There's been three US998 Oreo KDZ updates since beginning of the year.

alright then thanks
To update this thread, the last US998 Oreo is 20h -- which is at the top of that KDZ thread shown below. For people who are still stuck on US998 7.1.2 Nougat, don't care about bootloader unlock and root, then best thing is just to update to last US998 Oreo 20h. This works for ANY US998 V30 -- whether 64GB V30, 128GB V30+, 128GB V30S (yes, I know V30S came with early Oreo 20a -- just making a point it's for ALL US998 who may want to update.)
[US998][STOCK][OREO]LG V30 US998 US99820h_00_0318.KDZ
I'm posting this because someone is asking me about updating from US998 7.1.2 Nougat 10c.
READ ALL of post #1 of that linked thread. Especially the bottom part about Dev Patched LGUP. Read in a web browser, not an app! Apps truncate sections.
* Download the US998 Oreo 20h KDZ.
* Install the Dev Patched LGUP.
* Flash 20h KDZ in UPDATE mode. Done.
In Update mode, you won't lose any data.
If you have problems there are Trouble Shooting tips in that same post where the instructions are located.
Yes, there is a US998 30b Pie, but it's technically for U.S. Cellular, not Open Market US998 and is wonky. Many people get stuck on logo bootlooping when trying to update and there are issues. Many end up having to install Oreo 20h anyway, but then their camera and flashlight may not work right (without doing a lot of other stuff). So, for people with US998 who are not running LOS-17 custom ROMs there's no need to update to US998 Pie.
US998 Oreo 20h is rock solid stable.
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.
