There's various regional H930DS. India is part of the EAS region, which includes Indonesia and Philippines. For some reason the last update for them in November 2018 was never publicly released as full KDZ. Very strange.

And for all the various H930DS there was a large gap in updates. However just this month Hong Kong H930DS received new firmware with LOTS of improvements. I'm pretty sure this will now roll out to all the other H939DS.

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397908084

India H930DS CAN flash that Hong Kong H930DS firmware (all H930DS firmware are compatible with other H930DS) -- but India Jio carrier users will not have VoLTE. Jio VoLTE is only available on "EAS" region H930DS KDZ (or TWRP-flashable zip based on tht KDZ).

Here's the change log when US998 got DTS, so I'm assuming it's the same for this HK H930DS 21W, which now has DTS framework:

change log:

- DTS: X 3D stereo effect function has been added.

- New Always On Display options

- Selfie camera portrait mode

- Improved accessibility.

- Improved keyboard performance

- Improved the delay of keyboard input when installing multiple market apps at once.

- Photo display error in some apps since Google's latest security patch has been improved.

- Improved to keep app aspect ratio settings after app updates.

- Improved the phenomenon that fine lines are displayed on some screens when power saving mode is executed.

- Google Security Update has enhanced your phone's security.

Most of the list is found here in the link below -- plus the AOD and selfie camera portrait feature are from public reports. The AOD I verified myself, but the selfie thing seems to be subtle.

Also with root you can fully enable the awesome LG DTS 3D stereo with equalizer. Works on both wired and wireless (Bluetooth) connections.

It's very frustrating how LG is ignoring the Indian variant and still advertising their newer phones extensively. Pretty disappointing that they make phones with such well balanced hardware and features but don't back it up with software updates.

EDIT: India Jio VoLTE is available for H930 21W. Thanks to [MENTION=5784150]Sid@developer[/MENTION] for the discovery!

_________

There was updated firmware for India H930DS with November 2018 security patch, but for some reason it was only on new phones sold -- not an OTA or publicly released KDZ. Very strange.

As you know, an update will be coming this month for India H930DS.

January 31, 2019:

If you don't have Jio and need Jio VoLTE, you can always install the recent

Hong Kong H930DS 21w firmware.

Released in March 2019, it has January 2019 and a lot of improvements. That's what they will be giving all H930DS eventually when the updates roll out. (which is why the March 2019 news above seems on point.)

All H930DS firmware is compatible with all H930DS phones. The only problem is only EAS region H930DS KDZ has India carrier Jio VoLTE. But before India H930DS got Oreo, many India users flashed other H930DS firmware and even H930 firmware to get Oreo before LG India finally released it.

For those who are rooted, you should even be able to flash the very recent

H930 Open EU 21W TWRP-flashable zip.

Again, though, Jio users won't have VoLTE.

EAS region H930DS update should be coming this month.

Is anyone else facing issues with screen mirroring and casting to Android TV? I recently bought a MI Android TV, my other MI Note 4g and Moto E2 work fine but my V30 won't cast through the YouTube app and screen sharing won't work but, cast through the play music app works fine.

I read somewhere that this is a known issue on LG's side and they haven't fixed it yet.

LG must have added India Jio VoLTE to H930 EU firmware.

This also means you can have the DTS 3D Stereo, if you have root:

Airtel VoLTE never has been supported on LG V30. Don't complicate the discovery. ;)

Jio VoLTE is supported on ESA region (India) H939DS firmware. The problem is you had to use ESA region, you couldn't use any other H939DS firmware or H930 EU firmware, if you wanted Jio VoLTE -- even though they were compatible in every other way. Jio users can't drop down to HSPA like other carriers -- they only have LTE.

Now apparently H930 firmware DOES support Jio VoLTE and also has the new DTS 3D framework. Plus H930 firmware still gives H930DS dual SIM card capability, and keeps the H930DS bands.

This is very big news.

AND there's also H930 TWRP flashable zip for those who have TWRP...

There is no harm in checking, but if it's not even supported on ESA region firmware...

The big news is LG has migrated Jio VoLTE to other region firmware. That's very interesting and means ALL India users can have the latest firmware.

Ok as expected.

Last week I had call from LG Mobile India support team regarding VoLTE compatibility issues with Airtel, Vodafone and IDEA. I had raised this issue in June 2018 and kept escalating.

What latest they told me is that their tech team is working to have not only V30+ but other LG phones compatible and update will be available "soon". I thought along with long delayed security patch update they will include this but chances are slim.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
This must be how the new LG H930DS phones had newer firmware on their phones while ESA region KDZ was never released. LG switched to H930 EU firmware, at least for now... NO H930DS has received an updated KDZ since last summer, except for Hong Kong H930DS.

So, this is how LG is still keeping up with the 90-day security patch commitment.

They have basically rolled the H930DS updates into H930 EU firmware...
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Exciting development! India Jio VoLTE is available for H930 21W KDZ -- as well as DTS 3D Stereo (if rooted). Thanks to [MENTION=5784150]Sid@developer[/MENTION] for the discovery! See post above for more details. See attached screenshots.

Flashing to H930 21W (January 2019 security patch) will keep your H930DS bands, will keep dual SIM capability, has Jio VoLTE. LG seems to have rolled the H930DS updates into H930 firmware. You can either flash the

H930 KDZ via LGUP or if you have TWRP, use the TWRP-flashable zip.

Just reflash Magisk before rebooting.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Indonesia is the same LG region as India and Phillipines. ESA covers all three countries. LG had promised a KDZ update in "March 2019". It's still March. ;)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
I gave links to download the H930 31W KDZ (flash with Dev Patched LGUP in that thread), as well as the TWRP-flashable zip version if you have unlocked bootloader and TWRP.

It is possible the "November 2018" H930DS firmware has DTS framework, but

1) At this point in time you have two newer KDZ to choose from, both of which have or will have TWRP-flashable zips. So, it's outdated.

2) you need to be rooted to enable the DTS 3D Stereo surround sound.

Rooting procedure requires temporarily downgrading to early Oreo to unlock bootloader and install TWRP, root. You would then update to current firmware and reflash Magisk.

At that point, why would you choose an older firmware instead of newer one, even if you did have the older KDZ? Plus there's no TWRP-flashable zip for that ghost firmware.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] JEEVAMYIL:
Thanks brother. Downloading the file will flash tomorrow. Thanks for your contribution on lg v30 forum
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] sinnerz2000:
I'll wait for a few more days for the official update else, I'll flash this version.

The V30+ is my first phone I've gone so long without rooting. I had even modded my first phone, the Sony Ericsson w910i with custom display and sound drivers, those were some crazy days.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
[MENTION=5784150]Sid@developer[/MENTION], how did you do it? Did you dirty flash the TWRP-flashable zip? Or did you clean install?

If you mean "OTA", I understand. (However, if you are on H930 firmware right now, as your signature indicates, you won't get H930DS OTA.)

But this is

official KDZ from LG

. ;) It's the first ESA KDZ publicly released since August 2018 security patch firmware.

I enjoy my rooted V30+. But I don't have time to mess with friends' phones that way any more. Over the past free years, I had half a dozen friends who I did tech support for, to root and customize phones to make them better. Right now, of the 10 people who have the V30/V30+ because of me, only mine is rooted. I'm not running any custom ROMs, the rooted stock firmware is enough for me.

I enjoy the new DTS 3D Stereo surround sound, which can only be enabled via root for some reason. LG put that framework in the newer V30 series firmware. If you have the H930 21W, you have it but if you are not rooted it cannot be heard. I assume it's in this new ESA 20e KDZ.

I'm curious what letter you will actually see. In the past, like for ESA 20C KDZ, India users still saw "20B" even though Indonesia and Philippines users saw 20C. LG India launched their phone later than the other countries in the ESA region and for some reason India users stayed one letter behind, even when installing the EXACT SAME KDZ.

The firmware with

more recent security patches has these changes.

Started with Korean carrier variants, the went to US998 and now is rolling out to other variants. I know last month the Hong Kong H930DS got those changes, so I would assume this ESA region KDZ now has it.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
The other carriers have HSPA to fall back to, don't they? Whereas, Jio users need it.

I've never had VoLTE on any of my phones because our AT&T prepaid plan doesn't allow it. No big deal. Our phones (my wife and me) temporarily drops down to HSPA while we're on a phone call, and we still get data. When phone call is over, our connection automatically goes back to LTE.

VoLTE isn't just firmware, it also depends on the carrier cooperating. So for the other India carriers, I assume some kind of payoff is involved or else seems LG flagship phones would have it?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ankit360:
Its bit pain in a** for not having volte support. Airtel recently migrated 900mhz band to volte. Due to poor reception at my home. Mobile can't able to switch to 3g or 2g for call easly. I agree that there will involvement of operater is required. but lg not doing good job in term of software support.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sid@developer:
LG has a very less market share in India...due to which their support is bad...

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
I can tell you how to just install the February security patch KDZ firmware through LGUP. But for the new DTS framework to be enabled you need to be bootloader unlocked, have TWRP and root.

All the steps to do that are listed in the

Read that thoroughly, in a web browser, not an app. Print it out if you can.

After that, just Install the TWRP FLASHABLE zip of the new KDZ and you'll have the latest firmware with DTS enabled.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
You can install the 20E KDZ via LGUP via Upgrade mode. That would be for people who have no desire to unlock bootloader and root.

IF you shifted to EU firmware, you are still using LGUP.

I'm not clear on why you want to wait for OTA or else shift to EU firmware -- when the firmware you desire is already available and the method needed to shift to EU firmware is identical to what you can do right now.

This 20E firmware has February security patch. H930 KDZ still has January. This is newer. You see why I'm puzzled at your statement.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_infinity:
no. you need root for dts
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
No. The DTS framework is there on 20E, but needs Build Prop edit to enable -- which requires either:

* root to do it yourself or

* unlocked bootloader and TWRP to flash the [MENTION=3138121]seadersn[/MENTION] TWRP FLASHABLE zip, which has the changes built in. (And if you have unlocked bootloader and TWRP, then you probably are rooted also.)

Unless you can figure out how to flash the TWRP FLASHABLE zip without TWRP... Technically, you can unlock the bootloader and install TWRP without flashing Magisk root, but why?

. [MENTION=3138121]seadersn[/MENTION] has the DTS enabled through build prop on the TWRP flashable version. OR users can install the KDZ and

No. I don't think so. But others who have flashed EU H930 firmware on any H930DS can verify if they receive EU H930 OTA or not?

But Airtel still does not have any LG device in compatible list. Not sure how they operate about all this.

Recently I bought Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1, decently popular low mid range device. I found that Airtel does not have any Asus device also on list. But if I remember correctly their few devices were compatible earlier.

I have now given up on this VoLTE thing and ported my Airtel, Vodafone numbers to BSNL.

There's a workaround, you can put volte toggle in quick settings and when you need to call, you can switch it off and after the call, enable it. So, you'll be able to recieve calls on VoLTE and can call normally on HSPA
