may security patch update LG UP

Hi Chazzmatt,

I was having lg v30+ india variant which was on june 2018 security patch(v20b) then in march as updates were not coming for indian variants, Only way to get OTA update was through LG UP and i flashed to v20e-IND-xx Version with Feb security patch . I can see that there is newer security patch(v20f) available . I want to install it . Now how i can do it without losing all the data in my mobile. 1. Do i need to downgrade to v20b i.e june security patch using lg up and then OTA Update for may security patch will be shown in mobile software updates option ? and if i downgrade what option i need to select in LG UP inorder for me to not lose any data in my mobile ?

2. If i want to install this v20f kdz can i install it directly by downloading v20f kdz and flash it through LG UP directly i.e from my current version v20e to v20f. and if so what option i need to keep such that i don't lose any data ?

Please let me the options
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mannulko:
Yes flash it directly using lgup
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Download KDZ and flash with Dev Patched LGUP in "Upgrade" mode. It will keep your data. LGUP Upgrade mode is like a manual OTA.

Android Pie - India KDZ

Thanks it worked out without any issues. What about Android Pie ? is it safe to use now itself since i haven't rooted yet and i use jio volte and looks like Volte doesn't work on that Android Pie KDZ Available.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
No. Not if you need Jio VoLTE and are not rooted.

There is a guide to get Jio/Airtel VoLTE with root on EU H930.

But that's up to you. ESA (India region) Pie KDZ will come.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mon0theist:
Would a GSM Unlocked LG V30 H931 (AT&T variant), H932 (Tmo variant, uses VoLTE Band 12), or US998 (International unlocked, US Cellular) work in India?

EDIT:

Found this tool: https://www.gsmarena.com/network-bands.php3?sCountry=India

So I guess as long as the device bands matches those bands then it'll work?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] anil1435:
When did you buy that phone? I'm going to US, and we can swap our phones if you have no issue.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
USS98 has these bands... See screenshot.

None of the ones you mention will have Jio VoLTE if that's important to you.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mon0theist:
Would that cause issues similar to this?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Not exactly. In this case I'm referring that India Jio VoLTE needs specific ESA regional firmware (unless you're rooted). Other V30 with like Hong Kong firmware won't work on Jio.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mon0theist:
Ah okay well I planned on rooting so I should be okay then?

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_infinity:
nope
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Uhmm.... I was referring to that you need ESA region firmware for India carrier Jio VoLTE -- EXCEPT you can get Jio VoLTE on H930 Pie firmware with H939DS V30+ if rooted and using [MENTION=5579677]ankurpandeyvns[/MENTION] guide.

I do not know if this hack would work on US998. Furthermore, to my knowledge Jio uses LTE bands 3, 5, 40 and US998 does not have LTE band 40.

You might have to wait a month or two. LG is slow in providing updates and LG India specifically is even slower.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] melihcarter:
So this is the worst thing happened to my v30+ since I bought it 2 years ago. Soooo much lag! Like crazy! I tried to use slide navigation buttons but man what a horrible performance, when I slide left it is supposed to take me to previous app, but noo, takes me to 2 further. Then switched back to original buttons, I loved how I used to double click the recent apps button to jump back to previous app, no more, it's so laggy that second click doesn't register. SwiftKey is worse than horrible now, constant lag. Messenger bubble keeps closing, I'm using nova launcher, whenever I use Instagram or Facebook or other ram demanding app for a whole, after I hit home button everything is gone, takes 5 seconds to load my home screen. Camera performance is even worse. Battery same if not worse. What the hell??

Perhaps a hard reset should be done while jumping to a newer Android version. I've always done this and many have reported that it really helps them.

I know it's a bit frustrating to backup all the stuff but hey, I don't know. Try it.

Did you visit service center ? I have experience that customer care guys just quote just too high prices.

In Pune there are only 2 official LG Mobile service centers, one is in mitramandal chowk, near sarasbag and other is in Pimpri. I have visited one near mitramandal chowk and technicians there seem quite good.

Apk Technology LG Authorized Mobile Service Center

Laxmi Narayan Rd, Mitra Mandal Colony, Parvati Paytha, Pune, Maharashtra 411009

099703 65661

https://maps.app.goo.gl/Bzd1fPmpvSSypB1r5

Call them and see how much they quote. Buying outside is risk.

But if in either case cost of repair is going over 10K, I will suggest you to buy new phone. May be some cheap midranger for short time will be better.

If you don't hate Chinese brands then check K20 Pro or wait for Realme X Pro

Pie update for V30 was released in Korea on 29th July.

In Europe, it was released even earlier according to reports.

Not sure what's status in Americas.

It has August security patch in Korea at end of August.

For Oreo, it was gap of more than 6 months between Korea and India.

I hope , this time it will faster. So hopefully we can get it by October end. Anything earlier will be bonus by LG.

Hi,

I'm on the latest Oreo Rom for India with Unlocked Bootloader and Root.

I want to keep all my data/apps. Should I just unroot and install the Pie KDZ using LG UP? Which option should I use on LG UP?

Thanks
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
You can either wait for TWRP-flashable zip by [MENTION=236415]sead[/MENTION]rsn (which will keep data)

or

flash the KDZ, reinstall TWRP and the three root files. You will lose data.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] DBZLegend9000:
Oh ok, thanks for the information!

Will wait for the TWRP zip then.

Also, was just wondering if 30b was the version with RAM management and other issues fixed?

Australia seems to be getting the 30c version of the Pie ROM which fixed issues.

Early review vs 30b/q

Early review.

I was on the european 30b pie for a while before. and everyone knows it was pretty slow, even after it's fixes.

I moved to the ota 30q update a couple days back and it was significantly faster than the 30b. I'm pretty sure it's the fastest stock rom i've used on the V30. All oreos included. Yes the 30q was faster than even oreo was.

The 30b India update is on par with the 30q or maybe even a tad bit faster. Without a doubt the fastest stock V30 i've used.

The ram management is fantastic. Early opinion, but i think it's better than the 30q. i have about 6 apps in memory and i'm sitting at 2.5GB used. They've really made the OS much lighter.

Oh and one other thing.

They added Digital Wellbeing :D <3

You can also download KDZ and flash with LGUP in Upgrade mode. That's like a manual OTA. Much safer than partial image OTA.

He obviously got the OTA in a batch, and then you popped in and started asking about OTA and then batches. The post just above yours!

You can download and install UPDATE right now, by flashing KDZ. So there's nothing stopping you.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
What in the world are you talking about?

You're being risky with partial image OTA update. The safe course is full image KDZ.

I don't risk my phones with OTA updates. Four people bricked their phones today with pie OTA updates (for Verizon VS996). They should have waited for KDZ! No one bricks their phone with KDZ for their variant.

LG Bridge even uses KDZ. (Temporarily downloads full image KDZ to your PC, then uses that to update your phone). It's like a "manual" OTA update, or you can download KDZ yourself from LG servers and flash it in Dev Patched LGUP via Upgrade mode. The KDZ we have are from Official LG Bridge servers.

Because LG servers are sometimes slow, we also have KDZ mirrors. You can verify md5 to make sure you have same copy.

They are both the same build number, both the same security patch, and are identical in every way except for the letters "a" or "b". LG India has done this before, with no explanation -- where some phones stayed one letter behind for the exact same update.

Just a theory, but it may have to do with the older B&O V30+ phones vs the newer imported V30+ phones. LG changed their supply chain about a year ago and now all newer India V30+ H930DS are imported. But that doesn't make any sense. There's no difference in the phone hardware, the only difference is the B&O logo on the back cover (which is branding thing, but no difference inside the phone) -- so there's no difference in the firmware needed for either model. Now IMEI range would be probably different, but they are still both India H930DS V30+.

At first I thought it was OTA (a) vs KDZ (b) -- but people have said they also got the "a" version using LG Bridge (which uses KDZ temporarily downloaded to PC). Who knows? Maybe everyone in Northern part of India gets "a" and everyone in Southern part gets "b". :silly: But to my knowledge both firmwares are exactly the same and the only difference is due to LG India incompetence in causing confusion.

The reason it's confusing is because what happened with EU H930 Pie release. Their Release Candidate 30a FAILED testing and they went with 30b for first official Pie. Even U.S. carrier Verizon VS996 V30 now has 30b as their first official Pie. So, here's LG India releasing both a 30a and 30b. See what I'm implying? Some people may choose 30b just to make sure they aren't getting a lemon with 30a... (I think they are both identical, but LG India is causing confusion.)
