On Oreo they're going to to do it at least every 3 months for 3 years. Sometimes more frequent. It's part of the Google Enterprise Recommended agreement.

This is the update that stop you from unlocking your bootloader with WTF method. Any July 2018 update and beyond. However, we now know you can downgrade back with dev patched LGUP to previous firmware, to unlock bootloader, then upgrade again.

This is one they WANT to push out, to stop the bootloader unlock.

Bro Any idea about new features has been added? :)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
LG will probsbly not add new features to the V30 until next OS.

These regular updates are mostly to keep current with Android security updates and some fixes. I know between A and B for US998 someone discovered a silent notification fix. But we never found where LG actually announced that.

So yes occasionally there will be fixes, but don't expect new "features". I think all the new features came with Oreo. Next batch of new features will be Pie next year sometime...

[Guide][WIP][H930EU] Get VoLTE/VoWiFi functional and available

.

It is still a work-in-progress, and no it's not noob-friendly. The guy is a developer so it's quite detailed. ;) But something like that is what is going to allow VoLTE in AOSP ROMs.

---------- Post added at 08:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 AM ----------

So what is the new software version? 20D, 20K? Because in June 2018 LG released Oreo 20B for ESA region (which includes India). It had May 2018 security update. I

posted that one down in Development.

Installed on India H930DS it shows V20B-IND-XX and has LG India Service app, Jio VoLTE, etc.

Then, in July LG FINALLY released the EXACT SAME ESA BUILD as an OTA in India -- but screwed up and called it software version 20A. That was the exact same build number (not to be confused with the software version) with the same May 2018 security update as the EARLIER ESA 20B. Installed on India H930DS, this OTA showed V20A-IND-XX and has LG India Service app, Jio VoLTE, etc. The "20A" was an obvious mistake, as it's the same exact ESA software released as 20B in full KDZ form a month earlier.

So, I'm curious what this software version is? Can't be 20B! :p
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sid@developer:
But That will clear my internal storage.... I nearly have about 100GB of data in my phone ..... Backing it up... Flashing the kdz and Restoring is a tedious task ...?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
You have both TWRP and Titanium Backup (I hope). Do you not know how to use them? You click restore data. Easy.

Or get a developer to make the KDZ into a TWRP flashable file, and just dirty flash like a ROM.

Get used to it, if you want to install every security update for the next three year years. ;)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ankit360:
Yes it's 20b
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Seriously? With an August security patch?

What's the build number?

They've already released a 20B for ESA, which includes India, but it has May security patch.

This is just wierd.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] deepak111:

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
OK, so it's the EXACT SAME build number, exact same 20B software version I posted back in July. All LG has done is update the security patch so you can't unlock the bootloader... ;)

WHAT LG JUST RELEASED IN AUGUST note the same "build number".

Hi Chazz,

Is there a way to install the kdz but without ruining the unlocked bootloader and twrp recovery?

I downloaded FlashFire by chainfire but it didnt even opened in my mobile.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
With dev patched LGUP, flash all partitions of full KDZ -- EXCEPT for the recovery partitions (to keep TWRP). Not the OTA (which is just partial image), but the full KDZ.

After flashing that (except for recovery) you'll have TWRP. Reboot to TWRP, reflash the other three files in TWRP: no encryption, no root check, and Magisk.

Use Titanium Backup or TWRP backup to restore data.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] deepak111:
So there's no change between this (August patch) and the Philippines ROM like any bug fixes or anything? OTA is not showing for me so how do I update the security patch to August?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
As far as I know (since it's the EXACT SAME build number), the only change has to be the different security patch to block unlocking the bootloader.

If you really want it, wait a day or so and the full KDZ should appear on LG-FIRMWARES.com.

https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h930ds-firmwares/firmwares/

I have downloaded the KDZ and installed it 2 days ago.

Glad that this time India is among the first countries to get Aug security patch for LG V30+.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
I'm puzzled by your joy.

Same build number as the Oreo KDZ before (with June 2018 security patch) -- the only difference is a security patch to TRY to prevent you from unlocking the bootloader of YOUR phone. Yes, after installing this update you can temporarily downgrade to earlier Oreo firmware,

unlock the bootloader

, then upgrade to newer firmware and keep the unlocked bootloader. So, it's not a complete disaster.

Or better yet,

UNLOCK the bootloader

before taking this TROJAN HORSE update.

My point is LG is only rushing out this August update to India to take away users options. There's no improvement over previous India Oreo firmware, it's the exact same build number.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] vkevin16:

Did anyone try to downgrade to nougat after unlocking bootloader?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
You should be able to do it with dev patched LGUP, but you'll lose the improved AI camera. The Oreo camera Bright mode for dimmer light is very helpful.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] sai444:
Will give it a try then, nougat can be rooted right?. About those features, I don't find them particularly useful for my usage style. With Oreo I find slight lags or frame drops in the UI and considerable battery life being hit.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
If your bootloader is unlocked BEFORE you downgrade from Oreo to Nougat, then yes you can still install TWRP and root on India H930DS.

However, you have to unlock bootloader on Oreo with pre-July security patch KDZ -- if you haven't already. The current August India security patch KDZ will not let you unlock the bootloader. And neither will any Nougat KDZ. All Oreo KDZ up until July 2018 security patch has the wonderful bootloader unlock exploit.

So you'll have to downgrade to that Oreo first, unless your bootloader is already unlocked?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Huh? With Titanium Backup you are restoring app + data from apps from the exact same version of Oreo. This time it's even the exact same build number as the one with the May security update, even though it now has an August security update. That's the whole reason that app exists is to make backups and restore those backups. It won't restore stuff to Download folder, but it will restore data to apps.

With TWRP data restore, you are restoring the entire data partition (including Download folder, everything). I even did that one time going across a completely different version of Android. I don't recommend that, but it worked for me that one time.

Experiment to see what works best for you.

Is the os laggy when switching from app to app ? Am asking all these because i literally sold LG G6 due to laggy os and very very late updates...G6 got oreo this August when people are working on android Pie. But still i miss the hardware quality that LG gives.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] sinnerz2000:
Software updates are pretty bad.

Screen has one minor flaw but it has too many pros so it doesn't matter.

Software is not even a bit laggy. The performance is insane.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
With Oreo you will get updates at least every 3 months (sometimes sooner) for three years. India H930DS has received two Oreo updates since June. Problem was getting to Oreo in the first place.

Yes, the updates will mostly be security patches -- the most recent one for India H930DS which was the exact same build number as the first Oreo update, EXCEPT it includes August 2018 security patch to block bootloader unlock exploit. :rolleyes: (First version of India Oreo 8.0 has June 2018 security patch, and the LG bootloader exploit block was introduced with July 2018 security updates, which India didn't get.) Don't expect any new "features" to be introduced until Pie is released sometime next year. The new features came with Oreo 8.0.

For US998, there was a silent notifications fix between Oreo 20A and Oreo 20B, so some updates may include minor fixes and not just Android security patches. Good luck finding any LG changelog listing improvements.

LG has said 8.1 will be released to some devices before Pie but not sure if that will include the V30. I actually hope not, as that will delay Pie efforts for V30. After the LG V40 is released and hyped for 2018 4th quarter holiday sales, V30 should start getting Pie in early 2019. Of course the Korean V30 variants will get it first, then will trickle down to other V30 phones.

Repeat: Korean carrier variants always get new OS and new features first. No one is going to get 8.1 or Pie before Korean carrier variants. So, every time a new update is available, please no one ask "is it Pie? is it Pie?"

What minor flaw ? Many are reporting oled problems on V30
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] sinnerz2000:
Some shade of grey looks patchy and pixelated at low brightness. You won't really notice this much.

Some of the early v30's had a lot of issues like banding which isn't present in newer batches.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
The minor flaw is if you insist upon running the display at minimal brightness (which negates OLED vibrance and colors) some LG V30 displays have unevenness or look splotchy. This is only apparent for MOST at less than 15% brightness, and not all LG OLEDs have that. Google "solved" the problem with their Pixel 2 XL by limiting the "minimum" brightness of their LG OLED displays to about 30% of what the LG V30 can go down to. Problem solved! But Pixel 2 XL cannot get down to the inky blacks the V30 can, as a result.

I have seen this "issue" with OLED TVs as well. It's something OLED displays in general have. For people used to LCD displays, they don't understand.

https://community.playstation.com/c...eral.topic.html/an_important_noteab-PYQC.html

I can find a thousand more threads in forums explaining that.

"Minimum brightness" is an OEM decision anyway. It's what the OEM allows you to see. LG for good or bad, allows you to go very low. I run my phones at 70% brightness most of the time and and I owned 5 of these V30 phones at one point -- have given 2 away to family members. 5 other friends/relatives also own this phone. Of the 10 I have personally witnessed, NONE, NONE, NONE have any display problems running at normal levels. I have never desired to "test" them by running pattern configurations at zero brightness because that's not how I use my phone.

Having said all THAT, some early production V30 displays (last fall) did have higher brightness splotchiness. Those were lemons and there were only a few.

If you don't want OLED, then go get the G7 which has LCD.

Because all reviewers have to find good and "bad" (there can't be a perfect phone or they will be accused of being fanbois), they HAVE to find something wrong with a phone -- even if there's not something REALLY wrong with a phone. So, early on it was decided they would harp on minimum brightness splotchiness, as if that really matters.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ben cherian:
One doubt , does V30 oled looks better than LG G7 ?

Display,Audio, os software performance are my primary concerns. Audio is very important to me. I don't care about camera. These are my tastes. Just saying.

I had OnePlus 3, very mediocre audio and am not interested too stockish oxygen os,also the amoled display unit that i got had yellowish tinge which irritated me much because half of time am using phone for WhatsApp browsing Facebook etc which all have white background. I prefer Emui more. Sold it and Took LG G6, hardware was great but sold G6 only due to that laggy os. Now using Honor view 10, while everything is ok... Audio is where it's lacking... So not getting a good balance between all.

Next phone i will buy around next year only. Tired of changing phones again and again. When time comes i will come back and consult experts like you

---------- Post added at 01:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 AM ----------

I made a switch from OnePlus 3 to V30 and loving it except for the UI which is just laggy sometimes as you've said. Mainly the dialer which lags for first few seconds everytime I open it and swipe to call log, contacts and the app menu sometimes won't display app for a split second.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ben cherian:
