I have Good News for Indian H930DS users

:) Great news guys !!

After trying many Oreo firmwares from different regions on my Indian H930DS, I finally found that the newly available PHL Asia PH/Philippines firmware is the perfect one for us.

Jio Volte works !!

It also has 1st Jun 2018 security update ( Firmwares like 20r available from 16th Jun for European region are still on 1st May 2018 security update).

You do not lose Bootloader Unlock (I tested Australian and Middle East Asia Oreo firmwares available on 16th Jun, they have 1st Jun 2018 firmware and you do not lose Bootloader Unlock or TWRP).

You do not lose TWRP recovery.

Root works.

Software version says V20b-IND-XX and there is also a LG Service India app preinstalled in this firmware (very surprising to find this on Philippines firmware). Maybe same development team making firmware for India and Philippines, not sure.

Happy flashing after a long wait, especially for VoLTE!!
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] hikku13:
If you see the firmware naming (https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h930ds-firmwares/#firmwaresList), Phillipines and India (also Indonesia, etc) firmwares both using OPEN ESA. It might be the reason why it is more compatible than CIS/AME firmware.

The June security patch worries us.

I think what i've mentioned is clear, shouldn't be any confusion.

"You don't lose Bootloader Unlock". You can only lose it if you have it.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
NO, it's not clear. Answer the questions above.

You tried this Phillipines Oreo on a locked bootloader, yes or no?

IF NO, then people should unlock their bootloader FIRST with a pre-June security update Oreo (like CIS H930DS),

THEN flash to this post-June security update (Philippines) Oreo to get Jio VoLTE.

We don't want people to flash FIRST to this just to get Jio VoLTE, then realize they can't unlock their bootloaders.

If they unlock their bootloader first, THEN flash to this, it's OK.

I previously flashed my LG V30 plus Indian Version to the HK KDZ successfully. Now that I have learnt that Philippines Rom is doing great with Volte support, I tried flashing it.

Uppercut doesn't work on Oreo to go to something else (even other Oreo). You used Uppercut to upgrade from Nougat -- so you used it on Nougat -- to flash to something else, which was Oreo. But now you are on Oreo and can't use it anymore (on Oreo or above) -- unless the developer updates it. It doesn't read it right or something.

Exactly. Instructions and tool you need (patched dev LGUP) are all in Post #1 of that thread.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Right now, India V30+ doesn't have official IND Oreo -- but it does have Oreo. ;)

PHL Oreo has the LG Service India app preinstalled in the firmware.

With LGUP, anyone can easily flash to PHL Oreo KDZ which has India carrier VoLTE, as does Indonesia Oreo KDZ. In fact, looking at the md5 they are the SAME KDZ, just under different names. India Oreo KDZ (whenever it's released) may well also be that same file. If not, right now you already have India carrier VoLTE with either already-released PHL or IDN. Whenever India Oreo is released you can flash back to that, but for now you will already have Oreo with AI camera and the same India carrier VoLTE that India Nougat has.

Dev patched LGUP is attached to the first post in the Philippines OREO KDZ thread... With easy step by step instructions.

[H930DS][STOCK][OREO]LG V30+ PHL H930DS H930DS20b_00_OPEN_ESA_DS_OP_0530.kdz

This step above has NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING to do with rooting. It's only upgrading to latest stock OREO firmware that is AVAILABLE right now which has INDIA VoLTE, like Jio. It's the exact same process you would use to install official India Oreo KDZ whenever it becomes available. Not the inferior OTA updates, but the full image KDZ.

If you are still on stock firmware, can you post a screenshot of the About Phone? I'm sure this is the EXACT same firmware that will be released as India Oreo, just as it was released as PHL and Indonesia Oreo. Same md5. India users can download and install it NOW, instead of waiting for OTA.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] vkevin16:
I installed Philippines Oreo firmware and now I'm using Indonesia Oreo firmware. Both detect my LG V30+ H930DS as Indian phone. Oreo has not been released in India which is pathetic.

It will most likely be the same one as Philippines and Indonesia judging by firmware file name being used for Nougat znd now Oreo.

I've attached a screenshot, hope its attached properly.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Thank you!

Since the software version says 20B India, it's the same Oreo that WILL be released. People can just get it IMMEDIATELY. It's been available for THREE weeks now.

It's the official India Oreo KDZ.

Messenger and fb crashed few times after the update, i uninstalled messenger and reinstalled it and now works fine

Battery life is been improved, i got 5 hours of screen on time with always on display and with location services and mobile data turned on, btw i use jio VOLTE as my primary sim and it works fine.

Ram management is improved, now i detect no lag and apps are running smoothly than ever before.

Qlens is missing in the camera update, only received AI cam, i dont know why they havent released it in india.

AI cam works average i guess, noticed no change in the image quality except for the saturation levels.

brightness mode works pretty well, used it in low light scenario and it boosted the brightness. you will lose the quality of the image but it works, expected protrait mode for this update but its not there.

India/Philippines/Indonesia is all the same KDZ, with the same md5. It auto-detects what hardware you have and installs the specific country stuff. India service app is installed for India H930DS.

I uploaded both the "Philippines" KDZ (but it's also the official India and Indonesia Oreo) as well as uploading official "India" KDZ -- all prior to today. See down in development section.

Everyone could have had this since June 21, instead of July 11. Simple installation via LGUP.

And yes, I will probably keep saying this as long as people keep posting the India Oreo is "now" available. I made it available WEEKS ago and repeatedly tried to educate people about this. ;) A few listened and have had India Oreo for WEEKS.

That is not the firmware released by LG in India. 20a is the firmware officially released in India.

I have also seen you telling everyone 20b is official Indian Oreo firmware. That doesn't make it the official Indian firmware.

20b was released in Indonesia and Philippines and not in India.

Twitter post from LG is from 13th Jul which is around the time Oreo was released (11th Jul). LG official post doesn't mention firmware file name. Both the links u have shared do not have screenshot from the phone. Like you, it is the author of the article saying 20b has been released in India.

I live in India, I installed Oreo via OTA and I know what has been released. Other users who also installed it via OTA have already mentioned its 20a. Attaching screenshot.

Its quite simple, I will download 20a kdz when its available. I already have 20b kdz.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Then you're going backwards. It's your decision. 20B fixes stuff.

If the installed file shows India 20B, that IS official firmware for India H930DS and you are incorrect to say it's not.

Doesn't matter where you live. ;)

The Twitter from LG India is just the announcement that your can go to store to upgrade if you wish. The article tells the India version number. Both articles do.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] vkevin16:
You can keep insisting whatever you want, doesn't change anything.

This is just like you were telling everyone, June security patch won't allow bootloader unlock to work before June security patch was released.

We now have June security patch released and bootloader unlock works just fine. Unlike you I am saying it after testing it myself.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
I never said that. Quote where I said that.

I said LG and Qualcomm had critical bootloader issues noted in June patch and we told people to be careful installing that as it seemed they were trying to patch the exploit. I and others posted the June security patch notes as proof

I advised best to unlock bootloader while you can, in case it patched the exploit.

I never said it would definitely patch the exploit.

I am saying a phone that shows India Oreo 20B installed on India H930DS has official LG firmware for the India H930DS.

The OTA for india was indeed 20a and not 20b which is odd to be honest.

The build number, the baseband version are all same as 20b though. It might be just the naming change LG is employing in different regions. I had flashed my unit to 20b a while back and received OTA on my friend's phone which was 20a. Here are the screenshots.

Also, I have installed both Philippines and Indonesia 20b firmware when they were released just to try and check performance.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
I don't care what the "OTA" is. If it says IND 20B on an India H930DS, then it's official LG India firmware for the India H930DS.

To prove it's India firmware, your India H930DS will show IND 20B after flashing. If it wasn't for India, it would show another region like EU, CIS, AUS, or PHL.

Instead it shows IND. India.

You need to ask LG why their OTA doesn't match their official India KDZ firmware.

Full image KDZ is preferable to partial image OTA anytime.

Then LG screwed up by giving the wrong version number to the OTA. Full image KDZ beats partial image OTA.

The fact it says IND 20B refutes any other allegations. It's official LG firmware for the India H930DS. And it's full image KDZ.

I've got the India 20B KDZ posted. See link in post above.

INDIA/INDONESIA/PHILIPPINES share parts of the same KDZ, but the software auto-detects what phone you have (maybe by IMEI?) and installs the version for your country -- in this case India. 20B for India.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] anirudhs2owner:

It seems to be the same build, as the build numbers are identical. LG seems to have messed up by calling the official LG full image KDZ 20B, but calling the partial image OTA 20A. It should be 20B, no matter how installed.

Many articles -- even XDA NEWS -- says India Oreo is 20B. That's why "20A" KDZ isn't "available" -- because it's REALLY 20B, and yes it's available. ;) I even posted it down in Development.
