G'day everyone! :svetius: :cowboy:

Much like @mr turtle droid , I've decided to create this sister thread to keep us all informed of the progress towards Root, TWRP, and ROM's for the CARRIER UNLOCKED LG V30+ variant.

At this point in time (15:50, 21st Feb 2018), LG HAVEN'T placed this model on their Unlock list, on the LG Dev website. The LG Models that ARE there are the H930 and the H930G for the Euro market. I've emailed LG Australia about this, and am still waiting on a response, but doubtful I'll get a helpful one. I've also asked on the LGDeveloper twitter page, and received a stock standard response: "We are sorry that we can't be of much help. If there are any changes to the supported devices, we will let you know via our website".

Not being a dev myself, I don't know if any fastboot commands work or not, so if someone can get us going with potential methods, that'd be sweet.

I have a link for the Firmware *.kdz downloads, for what it's worth. Link is found HERE.

If anyone has any ideas, please share them. The more that we know, the closer we get to unleashing the full potential of this great phone.

Also, if someone could explain why exactly LG doesn't unlock all the different models of their flagship, or at least give an ETA for the unbranded one's, that'd be sweet. Is it because of licences, or patents or something? Or is because it's a Dual SIM model? Curious more than anything.

It just seems nuts to me that the V30+ that I bought from JB Hi-Fi wouldn't be on the unlock list, if it's an unbranded / noncarrier variant.

Once again, this is for the carrier

UNLOCKED

variant, H930DS.

Hi, reports on there suggest that only one sim is working after using that method.

Seems like flashing back some partitions from another ds model with lgup could be the solution.

I have been tempted to buy this phone only put off by no root.

Is second sim not working at all, or is it possible to use it as a data connection only?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] gazzacbr:
Hi, I have only had mine for 3 days so haven't tried yet :p

I think as a H930 single sim unlocked bootloader is loaded, you will only see 1 sim.

Dont quote me on that as I am still reading up :confused:

Any experts who can answer?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] crubbish:
Both SIMs work for H930DS. Just flash unlock bin and TWRP as described in WTF thread. Need to mention that I've had official H930DS Oreo update prior to attempting this.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] gazzacbr:
Hi, well thats the first time I have seen that stated.

There are no specific instructions for the DS.

Are the one's with only 1 sim just flashing a single sim rom and keeping it for the bands or something?

I have V10e-AME-XX and no Oreo update is showing.

So do I

LGUP to convert to open single sim H930

Adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash unlock new_unlock.bin

Install Twrp

Then how to get dual sim rom?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Here's an India H930DS user:

I asked him exactly what he did:
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] crubbish:
I wouldn't flash single sim rom on a dual sim device if I was you. You need to flash Oreo dual sim firmware and then everything is straight forward. Bootloader unlock process as well as flashing TWRP won't effect any fuctionalty and procedure is simple.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
But you had to flash H930 to get bootloader unlock. You seem to be contradicting yourself... please clarify?

The India H930DS guy did it this way:

I asked him exactly what he did:
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] gazzacbr:
Hi, still not quite getting it :confused:

Is H930 eu 20d a dual sim rom then?

Otherwise what exactly is "Oreo dual sim firmware"

Yes, that's what I am trying to clarify.

Just a bit paranoid about accidently flashing a singles sim rom as I have had this worry on my M8

I have a H930DS flashed with H930 firmware. It's rooted with Magisk installed. Both SIM slots are working. Both data and calls are fine.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Thank you. So you flashed the H930 Oreo KDZ. Just like the instructions say in the WTF thread.

To me, the only way for H939DS users to do this is to flash H9390 and run the command. One India H930DS user says that is what he has done and he has BOTH SIMS. Now you have confirmed it. That's two H930DS users who have bootloader unlocked and rooted, just like I said they could do -- and they both retained dual SIM functionality. Every V30/V30+ can be bootloader unlocked and rooted, except for the T-mobile H932.

Even [MENTION=288948]crubbish[/MENTION] seems to infer that but he contradicted himself -- saying he didn't flash the H930 firmware, which I'm pretty sure HE HAD to -- which is frustrating. ;)

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
No, the H930 variants (which include the HD30DS) do NOT need to downgrade to Nougat.

You just need to figure out how to install and use the LGUP.

---------- Post added at 07:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:34 AM ----------

[MENTION=288948]crubbish[/MENTION], I'm sorry but you seem to be contradicting yourself. Please clarify. You either used the WTF instructions or you didn't.

I WROTE the instructions for the WTF thread and they clearly say all H930 variants -- which included the H930DS -- needs to flash the H930 Oreo KDZ to get the fastboot flash commands. So, unless you are saying you somehow managed to enable those commands some other way (and H932 T-mobile users would be all ears for that!), then you did indeed flash the H930 Oreo KDZ, did you not?

Two other H930DS users -- at least one from India -- have used the WTF method, of course flashing the HD30 Oreo KDZ -- and they are bootloader unlocked, have TWRP custom recovery, rooted, and have dual SIM functionality.

Unless you have figured out some other way, THAT is also exactly what you did.

More information:

Thank you. ;)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] johanruda:
If you've connected the phone to a USB3 port, try a USB2 port instead. That usually works.

Also, if you're not using the cable that came with the phone, try that as well.

No, you need a newer DLL for LGUP which can be found in this thread: https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/development/lgup-oreo-dll-file-v30-t3779441

Put it in the C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\common (create the "common" folder if it's not present). Start LGUP WITHOUT Uppercut.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Thank you.

Besides trying a different USB port or different cable, also try to enter download mode manually (power off completely, then hold volume up button while plugging in USB cable), THEN open LGUP to make it recognize your phone.

Also, try a different computer if none of those suggestions work.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] crubbish:
I've had Oreo OTA flashed on my H930DS after which I've followed WTF procedure without flashing any other firmware. Sorry if I wasn't clear on this.

It looks to me that as long as you're on official Oreo firmware you can appy unlock.bin straight away, no need to pre-flash any other firmware. Also someone has reported on losing dual sim functionality after flashing plain H930 firmware, that's why I think it's safer to flash specific dual sim rom for dual sim devices.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Interesting.

So when you flashed the Hong Kong H930DS Oreo you had fastboot flash commands? You just fastboot flashed the new_unlock.bin code?

You didn't LGUP to European H930 Oreo KDZ like all the other H930DS users who successfully unlocked their bootloaders and rooted, and who both (at least two) still have dual SIM card functionality?

The problem is not all V30 firmware have fastboot flash commands. We thought it was only the open market variants. H930DS is not "open market" variant. Your experience NOT flashing the European H930 Oreo KDZ has us confused.

Yeah, some people said when they just simply updated to H930 from H930DS they lost dual SIM functionality -- but the ones who then UNLOCKED their bootloaders (on European H930 Oreo KDZ) and rooted said they still have dual SIM functionality on their H930DS. I can show at least two India H930DS examples.

Hi, got patched dll and reinstalled a rom :good: so now it's out of firmware update mode and has the Oreo version... 326 as recommended above.

But, slight problem now, I left work yesterday and went for a few beers which turned into a major session and this morning I don't know where the phone is :confused: :o :crying:

Either I left it on my desk or worse I left it in the bar. Office and bar will not be open until later today.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Flohav:
I have a H930DS (bought on eBay from Hong-Kong) and I flashed the European Oreo firmware a few weeks ago when it was released, with LGUP.

Firmware version shows v20d, hardware shows H930DS and both SIM are working (everything works fine, actually).

Before going on, I am wondering if unlocking the bootloader and rooting will still allow me to apply future official updates ?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Phreaky:
Isn't the H930 rom a single sim one? If not one of the first DS guys to unlock (forgot his handle) would have not had IMEI issues with 2nd sim
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] johanruda:
Apparently not. Are we sure he actually flashed a H930DS and not a V300?

Hi, ok, phone is back again thanks to a very honest person in the bar last night (who I unfortunately dont know the name of)... so

for LGUP with patched dll I left default as REFURBISH

both sims working

developer mode, oem unlock on, usb debugging on

using original LG cable

adb installed and can see phone, adb reboot bootloader and in to fastboot,

but fastboot cannot see my device. just <waiting for device> and no commands work.

if i then try my HTC M8, adb working and fastboot instantly recognises phone.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
One more question.

If you didn't use LGUP then that means you had Oreo as OTA update? Which H930DS specifically do you have then? The Hong Kong H930DS? Or Southeast Asia (SEA)?

I don't want to tell people the wrong KDZ to flash, if they wish to flash alternative to H930 Oreo KDZ. We KNOW that works, even for H930DS and still retains dual SIM functionality with bootloader unlock and root. There's enough confirmed reports.

So, which H930DS Oreo were you using prior to bootloader unlock and root?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] crubbish:
SW version V20c-CIS-XX
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with all the H930DS variants. I know India, Hong Kong, Australia, and I think there's SEA (Southeast Asia) and Singapore. SW H930DS variant is maybe Southwest Asia or what exactly?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] crubbish:
CIS stands for Commonwealth of Independent States which is a union of few countries formerly belonging to Soviet Union. So it;s a region like SEA or HKG.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] tester100:
Has anyone been able to successfully use the H933 kdz software on H930DS (I tried but modem doesn't work) and ABD is missing, I was successfully able to setup phone.

I also tried US998 kdz on H930DS and it installed properly but bootloops during android setup

Any ideas?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Install H930DS to European H930 Oreo KDZ or to CIS H930DS Oreo KDZ (if you can find it).

Do NOT try to install North America variants like US998 or Canada H933 to H930DS. Of course Canada H933 doesn't have fastboot flash commands. That's why we have to convert H933 to US998 Oreo to bootloader unlock and root.

But for H930DS you have to use H930 Oreo KDZ or that CIS H930DS Oreo KDZ, if you can find it.

[MENTION=288948]crubbish[/MENTION] says he used that to bootloader unlock and root, and didn't flash H930 Oreo KDZ on his H930DS.

Either one will work for bootloader unlock, apparently.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] EnemyEngineer:
Thanks to everyone who has been working hard towards development of this device!

Quick Question however, I'm currently on Indian Variant Nougat, will I need to wait for Oreo to get to Open Market EU930DS Oreo?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
There is no open market EU930DS, is there? Only open market LG H930 and H930G. That's why no H930DS were listed on the official LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list website...

But any India H930DS that wants Oreo with bootloader unlock and root only needs to read the WTF THREAD.

Lots of India H930DS users right now are on Oreo and custom ROM.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] EnemyEngineer:
Apologies for the incompetency. Before flashing I'd just like to confirm I'm doing the right thing.

(this is for Indian V30+ variant with Nougat)

1. Download everything WTF thread tells you to download

2. Download https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/development/h930-lg-v30-european-market-h930-t3779076

3. Use Uppercup+LGUP method to UPGRADE to EU-H930

4. Flash new bootloader

5. Install TWRP and Root

This gives the ability to flash any stock roms, but not AOSP roms. (?)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Most of the India users seem to like the Boombox ROM. It is a stock based ROM, but I'm not sure if they chose that because of that or if the first guy who showed proof this process works happened to choose that so everyone else has too. ;) See below, from the India thread:

Bootloader on the 930DS has been unlocked using the fake boot.bin method and the device has been rooted and TWRP installed. Here is what we've found cross-flashing different V30 variants software on the H930DS:

1: H933 (aka Canadian model) firmware installs and boots without issue, only problems are the lack of ADB and Fastboot capabilities in kernel and a disabled modem.

2: US988 firmware installs and bootloops continually once the phone setup begins. Never had the chance to configure phone and attempt to root

3: LS988 (aka Sprint CDMA model) firmware installs and boots without issue, only problems are the lack of ADB and Fastboot capabilities in kernel and a disabled modem.

We are trying to get access to the AWS frequencies available to North American devices, any ideas? If this is a no go, buying and flashing the LS988 with US988 software is next option.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
1) Then you should probably do that, get LS998. That's the safest option that will get you North America carrier bands.

2) The Korean guys bootloader unlocked and rooted their Korean carrier variants with H930, then created a US998 zipped file which they flashed in TWRP to get US998. It's down in the ROM section. If you try that, the risk is on you.

You've probably seen me jumping around these few threads trying to figure this out.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Roddydesu:
I checked all the countries that the H930DS is being sold in and none of them uses band 4, so it would also make sense for the DS to not have band 4 since it is dedicated for Asia and covers most bands in Asia anyway. I guess frequencycheck.com is just unreliable and led me to buy this model even though I knew I was going to use it in Canada.
