On LG Firmwares, they now have India Pie KDZ listed (finally!) and version they have listed is 30b. That removes all confusion by choosing the highest number, due to the possibility LG India is accidentally pushing both a "failed" 30a (like EU H930 30a was a failed Release Candidate) and the "good" 30b. :p LG India should only be pushing ONE version for their India H9030DS V30+, not TWO DIFFERENT LETTERS at the same time.

I'm pretty sure they are both the same firmware, but hey if in doubt choose 30b?

UNLOCK BOOTLOADER AND ROOT

Read the first paragraph of post #1 of the India Pie KDZ thread.

https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/development/h930ds-lg-v30-india-t3952260

_____

Exactly! Thank you. There's one person who has unlocked bootloader and apparently has installed TWRP and flashed Magisk -- but didn't flash the Pie KDZ encryption disabler file nor the Pie KDZ root check disabler file, probably didn't reformat his data, and of course is having encryption errors. Plus, you actually have to flash Magisk TWICE with Pie KDZ. The instructions tell you when to do that, at different parts of the process.

I gave him

link with detailed instructions

and it seems he didn't read it, as he's still asking questions and says he wants "detailed" steps. I think those steps are fairly detailed! :cool:

I'm not going to re-write instructions in another thread when they are already clearly written. But you have to READ and follow the instructions.

While those instructions were rewritten for Pie and include the newer "Pie" encryption disabler and root check disabler files, they are also backwards compatible with Oreo.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] sinnerz2000:
Instructions are clear enough. I flashed Magisk twice on Oreo as per instructions but forgot to do that on Pie but, root still works fine.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
2nd time is "just in case". The Dev for newer encryption disabler file had to do it with earlier beta versions of his file. He said the final release version doesn't seem to need it but he still recommends flashing Magisk one final time before rebooting, since all different OEM phones are not alike. Falls into the category of "doesn't hurt, may help".

After 2 weeks the only regret I have shifting from my oneplus five is the discharging and charging times - oneplus I always had at least 40 % left at eod whereas v30 goes down to 10-15% which is a bit dicey to leave overnight. Charging time was much quicker on the dash charger. Wondering if I can use that for the v30
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
And what did you gain coming to v30 ?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] shethsa:
I feel that the screen is easier on the eyes (comparing it side by side). There are more options on the camera (although I haven't yet done a detailed comparison) and the AOD is nice to have.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
Frankly at this price of v30 plus now it doesn't makes sense getting one plus anymore..anyways OnePlus is highly exxagerating phone

V30 plus offer lot more for it's price now
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
You are right, actually v30 plus should be compared with iPhone x and pixel 2 xl and not low end over hyped OnePlus 5t etc ...
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] shethsa:
In the end (2-3 months), what will sustain is 1) battery life and charging time, 2) UI responsiveness, 3) camera quality and sound (speaker & headphones) and 4) screen quality. Everything else is a 'feature' - be it waterproofing or wireless charging. I'd think v30 holds up in 2, 3 and 4 whereas oneplus 5 had the edge in 1).
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
That's bcoz the so called "flagship killer" still has 1080p sub par screen

If you want to really increase battery life turn the v30 screen to 1080p and see the difference

But doing that doesn't do justice to the georgeous 2k poled display v30 has
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
No. Even Motorola has budget phones with 5,000 mAh batteries (and headset jacks) that will give you even more battery life. But I wouldn't be caught dead with one of those phones.

Right. I'm not going to cripple my 2017 phone and go back to 2013-era specs.

"Features" are what separate pretenders from real premium phones. I won't buy a phone without Qi wireless charging. That's my line in the sand.

Now that IP67/68 offers useful protection, that is something else to separate pretenders like Essential and OnePlus. Why would you NOT have that? Because your engineers are incompetent?

Comparing V30 with One Plus 5T is ridiculous.... V30 is a direct competitor for Note 8 and Mate 10.... There are few fools...who compare it with OP5T...
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
I would say even just Samsung Note 8. I think the V30 is easily one of the two phones in the running for 2017 Phone of the Year, alongside the Note 8. I prefer the LG V30, for the slightly smaller size. But they are equal competitors, with slightly different pros and cons.

I can criticize how long it took for LG to release, and how long it's taking for North America US998 bootloader unlock... But the actual device itself is about the best phone of the year. LG really refined the early 2017 LG G6 into the LG V30. The G6 was more a prototype of what this V30 became.

Sent from my official carrier unlocked LG V30+ US998
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] shethsa:
The only logical reason to compare the 2 is obviously when you own both. And that's after purchasing the v30. Obviously one would do the homework of comparing it to other valid competitors like the note 8 or pixel 2 xl
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] shethsa:
ChazzMatt - on a separate note, how're the 1 more triple drivers holding up with the v30 for you? I heard the voice calls aren't that great. Also, can you suggest similar quality similar priced wireless earbuds?

---------- Post added at 01:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 PM ----------

Also, has "ok Google" voice command stopped working for any of you guys? How do you get it back on without rooting?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
My OK Google is still working to unlock the phone and turn on the display and also even while most apps are open. The exception seems to be Waze navigation service, but it WAS working even when that app was open. Now, it's not. I have to minimize Waze to use OK Google phrase. Something has changed.

I haven't used the triple drivers during phone calls, only to listen to music, but they have been very good, even great.

Hi Guys...

I'm a new-ish member here. Just need a bit of your time.

Also I'm living in India.

I'm gonna be ordering a new phone for myself tonight. And I'm confused between HtC U11 and V30+.

Is there any deal-breaker problem in V30 that you've faced here?

Performance of UI, Battery drain and Media consumption are my main considerations and NOT camera or looks.

Thanks
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] shethsa:
No major issues so far for me. I use nova so don't know about lg ui. Battery lasts about 20 hrs for me going down to 10%. What do you mean by media consumption?

By media consumption, I meant watching YouTube, Netflix and Amazon prime without headphones.

Don't know how LG gives version numbers.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Read last few posts in THIS thread for discussion of this anomaly -- like here:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=80281775&postcount=1576

The rules for numbering LG versions are not a mystery. But LG India is breaking the rules for H930DS by having seemingly two identical build numbers with same security patch have 30a and 30b. For the India H930DS, there should only be ONE version and it should match the all ESA region KDZ -- which include India, Indonesia and Philippines. Instead, INSIDE India for OTA and even LG Bridge, they are pushing two different letters (a and b).

We have that 30b KDZ in the India Pie KDZ thread, if you want it.

U.S. carrier Sprint is also breaking the rules. (They have a 30a OREO update right now.)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] girishv:
Yes, I should have read one more time. I installed magisk with the CLEAR instructions. Thank you very much.

Only one change, I could not flash magisk the second time as I had to copy that again via USB mount (formatted data),

but when I tried that, mobile simply rebooted.

Anyways, I have root now and thank you very very much.

One more thing, I do not have any lag after doing this, may be thanks to data formatting.

Hey i am new to rooting so need your help even after reading above thread

1-Ist i am going to flash old oreo kdz through lgup

I detail exactly the steps and even provide a screenshot of the fastboot flash commands.

Make sure you are reading the instructions in a web browser, not an app like XDA app or Tapatalk. Apps truncate long sections.

PRINT OUT THE INSTRUCTIONS, if you can

2-After unlocking boot loader my phone will be formated

Yes. And you will format yet again while installing TWRP.

3-After above step i need to flash twrp.img through fastboot mode? If yed How to get into fastboot mode?

Section 5 clearly tells you how and also I have BLUE HYPERLINKS to give more information.

4- then i need to flash magisk root. Through twrp recovery? How to get into twrp recovery after flashing twrp?and how to put magisk file in phone memory as after bootloader unlock phone gets formatted?

It's all clearly stated in the instructions.

5- then i need to flash disable_dm-verify_ for....zip through twrp?

What do the instructions say? That actions is in Section 6 under heading "More TWRP actions" -- so of course you are flashing in TWRP.

6- then i need to flash ak3_rctd_remover.zip through twrp recovery?again how to move this file to internal memory since phone is formatted after bootloader unlock?

That is also stated in the Instructions.

It seems you are either not seeing the entire instructions (reading in an app) or you are not thoroughly reading but instead just skimming. PRINT OUT the instructions post and treat it like a check list.
