[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
I mis-read this initially.

Tell me specifically which Oreo KDZ you installed? Forget Redmi stuff. That's confusing. We are not discussing Redmi.

All reports PHL Oreo V30 KDZ will work for India carriers on a LG V30 phone, including VoLTE. Are you saying Airtel/Vodafone does VoLTE does not work, while many others say Jio VoLTE does work? That would be very strange, since Jio is usually the problem child.

Have you actually installed the PHL Oreo KDZ? Because if you have, you are the first person to say one Indian carrier VoLTE is not working. I'm curious. Anyone else have any problems with Airtel/Vodafone on PHL Oreo KDZ?

I am also not going to defend the glacial pace of LG updates in general or LG India in particular. You are right to complain about LG India, but I am also offering a solution. You can ACCEPT the solution while still voicing your complaint. It's not EITHER/OR.

Why has India LG not released Oreo yet? Maybe LG India wishes to sell newer phones with Oreo already installed. In the U.S. Verizon did that with Marshmallow for the Droid Turbo XT1254. Motorola released Marshmallow for ALL Quarks (including India Moto Maxx) in July 2016. Verizon refused to release the firmware as OTA until December 2016 -- because a 2014 Droid Turbo with Marshmallow still matched or BEAT many other newer 2016 phones in hardware specs: 1440p OLED, 3GB RAM, 3900 mAh battery, 21MP camera, etc. So, until the 2016 3rd and 4th quarter "back to school" sales and "Christmas sales" period finished Motorola kept the Droid Turbo on Lollipop while all other Quarks (Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo) had Marshmallow. Of course, Verizon never publicly admitted that, but it was obvious why the almost 6-month delay. They wanted Droid Turbo owners to "upgrade" to newer 2016 phones as their 2-year contract was about to run out.

[MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION] I'm kinda done with flashing roms, if I were to flash I'd have rooted mine since day one and changed to some other rom like i did with my previous device.

The mods are surely tempting and if LG fails again I'd probably root and find another rom, it's just that some apps don't work with root and the stock ROM is pretty good in v30 so I wanna stay stock as long as possible.

That Philippines rom looks great but I had to go through resetting my mobile for like 3 times since out of the box the UI and map app became buggy when I updated continuously so I'm little hesitant to try it out as I can't lose my data.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Well, we aren't talking about flashing a ROM.

I keep trying to explain this, but some aren't understanding. For this discussion, I'm talking about simple upgrade to newer version of stock firmware. There's NOTHING to set up, nothing to change.

If you use "upgrade" you won't lose any data. Make sure in LGUP you use "upgrade", not "refurbish"!

This does NOT in any way involve ADB, fastboot, rooting, bootloader unlock, or ROMs.

It's merely using LGUP to update your phone to newer firmware. But instead of India KDZ, you choose PHL OREO KDZ.

If you don't like it, you can use the same LGUP procedure to downgrade back to India Nougat.

Or if you do like it, keep it for now -- and then use the same LGUP procedure to change to official India Oreo KDZ whenever it's released.

Go to that thread and read post #2, to see testimonials from other Indian users . Go to the thread and ask questions of others who have installed it.

____

If you later want to talk about mods or flashing ROMs, I can discuss that too.

But some people are confusing the two topics.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Funkym0nkey:
Poor ChazzMatt , keeps trying to explain same thing.:p

Also about Airtel and Vodafone VOLTE, it's the carriers that have not whitelisted our device and/or number.

Airtel, Vodafone and idea haven't enabled volte for all phones that support it and also not for all customers.

At the same location, my mom's sim gets volte on Airtel on both mi max and S9. But my sim and number does not on both those phones.

And until Airtel and Vodafone decides to whitelist LG v30, you don't get volte even on Indian ROMs. Blame the carriers. They are playing the dirty game of playing selective gatekeepers of the volte network so manufacturers have to work with them and get their devices certified and whitelisted to be on their volte network.

God knows what they are making OEMs do or include to make that happen.

TRAI should have been clamping down on this practice by now. In fact we should be writing to them about this.

So this shouldn't really so you from moving to the Philippines kdz. Hell it still showing IND firmware number in "about phone" software info even after flashing that kdz.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Thanks. So, India firmware doesn't even have Airtel/Vodafone VoLTE?

Sounds like Airtel/Vodafone is trying to shakedown LG for money.

Then why are Airtel/Vodafone people so hesitant to change to a another region firmware that will at least give them Oreo with AI camera?

We know PHL OREO KDZ has India Jio VoLTE. Everybody should be eagerly jumping on this!
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] deepak111:
I'll try it, hope it doesn't get bugged.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] adriansiv:
Thinking about getting this.. I know that there is root for this device. If I get it used, will I be able to root it as it might have latest firmware or should I get it new (older firmware) to root it? Or it doesn’t matter?

Lg v30+ getting oreo update on 1st or 2nd week oj july 2018

I contacted the lg customer care executive and they told me that the oreo update will reach us by the 1st or 2nd week of July 2018. They didn't mention about monthly or 2month security updates. Just the oreo update. I hope u guys found this useful.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
1) For root you need Oreo with fastboot flash commands. The bootloader unlock exploit does not work with Nougat.

Right now, India V30+ doesn't have official IND Oreo -- but it does have Oreo. ;) PHL Oreo has the LG Service India app preinstalled in the firmware.

With LGUP, anyone can easily flash to PHL Oreo KDZ which has India carrier VoLTE, as does Indonesia Oreo KDZ. In fact, looking at the md5 they are the SAME KDZ, just under different names. India Oreo KDZ (whenever it's released) may well also be that same file. If not, right now you already have India carrier VoLTE with either already-released PHL or IDN. Whenever India Oreo is released you can flash back to that, but for now you will already have Oreo with AI camera and the same India carrier VoLTE that India Nougat has.

Dev patched LGUP is attached to the first post in the Philippines OREO KDZ thread... With easy step by step instructions.

[H930DS][STOCK][OREO]LG V30+ PHL H930DS H930DS20b_00_OPEN_ESA_DS_OP_0530.kdz

This step above has NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING to do with rooting. It's only upgrading to latest stock OREO firmware that is AVAILABLE right now which has INDIA VoLTE, like Jio. It's the exact same process you would use to install official India Oreo KDZ whenever it becomes available. Not the inferior OTA updates, but the full image KDZ.

READ THIS:

_____________________________

2) Once on Oreo, you can then unlock bootloader and root, IF you wish to do that.

WTF V30/V30+/V30S Bootloader Unlock and Root (MOST VARIANTS)

3) After rooting, you can stay on stock firmware and install mods like this:

[MENTION=9023361]Whiskeyomega[/MENTION] (who is the dev for Boombox ROM) also has standalone audio mods down in development section which may do what you want. Make sure you make TWRP backups do you can restore while you experiment.

Whiskeyomega's V30 [Fix] High Impedance Mode All The time

4) or you can experiment with custom ROMs.

Updated to Official India Oreo

UPDATED TO OFFICIAL INDIA OREO!

Good.

Curious what does your "About Phone" show? Can you post a screenshot? I know the firmware has the LG Service India app installed, which is why I think it will be the EXACT same firmware India gets, but [MENTION=5414229]vkevin16[/MENTION] says it actually shows "V20b-IND-XX ". Do you see that also?

That's one reason why I keep saying what you guys are waiting for is already here! You just have to download and install it yourself instead of waiting for inferior OTA.

Thanks for your reply. I currently own lg v20 and going to older kdzs is easy no issues. So i guess it is the same here . I think it makes no difference if I buy new or get it used as I will have to flash the kdzs anyway for root.

You just have to download and install it!

Look at the VoLTE, look at the firmware version!

Doesnt that june security patch block all the rooting and bootloader unlock if we need to do it later?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayaskant12:
Haven't read about it. I won't be rooting for now. So not much worried and definitely would have sold it by the time Android P arrives.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
No, not yet.

But every time I talk about rooting it scares people off from just simply upgrading to this INDIA OREO that has been available for 3 weeks now. Just freakin upgrade and you'll be happy! ;) So many people would rather complain than actually do something.

Yes, LG India should release this in India. But guess what, it's released online. You can upgrade RIGHT NOW TO INDIA OREO.

It's simply flashing with LGUP. Video above if you want step by step instructions, but most people do it just reading the thread instruction.

---------- Post added at 09:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 AM ----------

What's important to emphasize is the "PHL" KDZ is also the exact same KDZ that will released for India. It's just India users can get it now. Even in "About Phone" it says 20B IND. IND is INDIA.

They just have to download and install it.

Been available online for 3 weeks now. No need to wait any longer.

Oreo OTA update

Has anyone received Oreo Update over OTA for V30+?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
No, but the India Oreo KDZ had been available online for three weeks. You can download and install it in LGUP. See posts above yours.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayaskant12:
ChazzMatt I see your passion in pushing people to flash the latest ROM and explore the new features. But somehow all are not like us. People will keep blaming LG and stay frustrated but they will keep waiting for OTA!!

TAKE IT EASY BRO.

you have literally kept this phone alive.

Thanks to you
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
I guess I don't understand that thinking. If they can have EXACTLY what they want today in less than 10 minutes, why not do it?

This is XDA! We solve problems!

They can have the official India Oreo KDZ NOW and feel happy they don't have to wait any longer for LG India.

Sure they can still complain, while bragging they have what LG India will eventually give his OTA.

I'd rather have superior full image KDZ than inferior partial image OTA anytime.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayaskant12:
Bro I have been on xda since almost 10 years now.

I flashed all ROMS for O2 series of phones. All HTC manufactured and rebranding by others.

Imate jasjam, xda ii, xda mini, hd2, have lost count.

Flashing was way of life during college days.

Now am a full fledged consultant doctor. Dont have time to tinker with my primary phone. Don't have that much time but flashing is just second nature. I just read a thread and know what to do!!

People now come to xda just because it's a fancy site and they can brag about it ;)

And some people of course will be afraid of bricking the device!!

So I can understand both sides now
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Right. But simple "upgrade" in LGUP is not like unlocking bootloader, using ADB, etc.

It's merely updating to newer stock firmware.

Anyone can do it.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayaskant12:
ChazzMatt said it's rootable so I will take his words. Dunno exactly though. You can wait otherwise. I got a few comments in my video who successfully updated yesterday and are quite happy.

And what's the guarantee that OTA release won't block the bootloader?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ethan3686:
Hmm.. Guess we will have to wait for someone to comfirm root and unlock after upgrading to the official india rom. Chazz i dont think has got any confirmation yet so he is not able to say anything so far.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] vkevin16:
If you guys had made efforts to search a little, you'll see that all your questions have already been answered more than once.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Either. All three, India/Philippines/Indonesia all have the same md5 -- which means they are really the same KDZ and will install what is necessary for your country based on your hardware, through auto detection. LG just renamed them to different names but all three are the same file. If you have an India V30+, any of the three will install India specific features.

This is why India users BACK IN JUNE reported the India LG Service app was install on their phones when they used the PHL Oreo KDZ. Same with Indonesia Oreo KDZ. This is why it's very strange people keep waiting for inferior OTA when they can have Oreo FOR INDIA RIGHT NOW. Here's the India KDZ but looking at the md5, there's really no difference between it and the other two Indonesia and Philippines Oreo KDZ. It will magically install what you need for your country based on the hardware you have -- or maybe based on your SIM card? I don't know, but it does it somehow.

INDIA OREO KDZ

https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/development/h930ds-lg-v30-india-h930ds-t3814426

The June security update does not stop bootloader unlock and root.

Future updates may block rooting, or at least try. I would suggest installing this now so you can have Oreo with AI cam and then you can root at your leisure when you wish. Be wary of future updates until proven they are safe.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ethan3686:

Can anyone recommend any case and tempered glass/screen protector available online in India?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] anirudhs2owner:
Tempered glasses don't fit curved screens well so I don't have one.

I do have a Ringke Fusion crystal clear case from Amazon. It's bulky and has covers for the headphone jack and the USB port so it's nice. It also comes with a clear back protector film so that there is no rainbow effect. I didn't like it. Looked ugly so removed it. The case has become slightly yellow as it's handled with oily hands and generally rough usage. Now I use the case while travelling.

I have another cheap so called rugged case from Taslar for saving in case of accidental bumps while in my pocket or a fall from the table while on the wireless charger. Bought it again from Amazon. It's good. Thin and the texture is nice.

If I ever get an ugly scuff or scratch on the back I'm gonna get a dbrand skin on it.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] suyogmh:
I had waited for so called "official" update just to see if they include VOLTE support for 3 major operators in India. i.e. Airtel, Vodafone and IDEA. Actually hoping against hope !

But as expected it is not. I thought LG would talk with these operators and get things sorted.

Also I fully agree with you that It is Operators who are doing this. It is not related to device hardware.

I can see in list of supported handsets so many names of manufacturers which I haven't heard before.

And yet NO single device from LG.

Anyways, can you suggest what we can do? I have written following in service ticket to LG. Actually this is detailed email but I had already asked same query last month after which I got call from "LG Technical team" asking details, but no progress since then. For me Airtel VOLTE is needed right now but there may be other users having Vodafone or IDEA. My service ticket to LG is as follows :

Dear Support,
I had asked this query earlier also and for which I got call but then no update. Hence I am forced to ask again.
Why LG V30+ is not supporting Airtel VOLTE service? It is not shown in list of supported phones.
Shocking thing is that no phone from LG is not listed there. Please check this link from Airtel - https://www.airtel.in/volte/

It is shame that flasshship device from LG which costs Rs. 45000 is not supported but cheap phones with less than Rs. 5000 are supported.
Please take action on this issue ASAP.
I had called Airtel support and they said that LG V30+ does not support VOLTE and they can not do anything about it.

I was told by my friends that LG V30+ is also not supporting VOLTE on Vodafone and IDEA which are big service providers in India.
Please check following link from Vodafone which also does not have any LG device as supported.
https://www.vodafone.in/discover/super-volte-4g-hd-voice-calls

Also check below link for IDEA which also says NO LG devices are supporting VOLTE on IDEA network.
https://www.ideacellular.com/volte

I have already updated my LG V30+ to Oreo which was released today in India after long delays. But even after this update VOLTE support is not active for Airtel, Vodafone, IDEA.

This is really pathetic service by LG given to it's very top end customers buying very expensive product.
Kindly resolve this issue ASAP. You can contact me for details on my mobile numbers 9810977685 or 7020265943

I hope I don't need to write reminder for this issue again else I will need to escalate this to higher level.

Finally, LG V30+ gets official so called "OTA" oreo update today....
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Yes, the inferior partial image OTA... but the full image Oreo India KDZ has been available since June 21.

India/Philippines/Indonesia is all the same KDZ, with the same md5. It auto-detects what hardware you have and installs the specific country stuff. India service app is installed for India H930DS.

I uploaded both the "Philippines" KDZ (but it's also the official India and Indonesia Oreo) as well as uploading "India" KDZ -- all prior to today. See down in development section.

Everyone could have had this since June 21, instead of July 11. Simple installation via LGUP.

And yes, I will probably keep saying this as long as people keep posting the India Oreo is "now" available. I made it available WEEKS ago and repeatedly tried to educate people about this. ;) A few listened and have had India Oreo for WEEKS.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
The one I uploaded for Philippines (June 21) and India (this week) -- and both have the same md5, so we know they are really the same KDZ -- to be different from the OTA update is VERY interesting. It means the online version I posted is actually NEWER than the OTA India LG is pushing out. And everyone could have had it since June 21...

At least for US998, 20B over 20A was silent notification fix and some more stability.
