[MENTION=8042317]ali228[/MENTION], I am also in your shoes but whenever I get stuck at logo LG V30+Thinkq I do use US99820h select Upgrade and will restore back to oreo successfully. I wonder why after pie is being installed LGUP still recocognizes my device as US99820h. Spent a lot of time to discover this:)

Well, LG bridge sees the update but am scared to install it.
[MENTION=291959]chazz[/MENTION] and Flaw pls is this advisable to go ahead

My device is LG-US998 (LG V30+) not Frankensteined, not bootloader-unlocked and no TWRP. Just completely STOCK

WiFi calling?

I've seen reference to this after discovering for myself that it is indeed experiencing some bugs. Looks like the settings for it are totally busted (crash on open, toggle does nothing), but since I had it enabled before upgrading it's enabled and functioning. Is everyone seeing this? I'm not too concerned about not being able to adjust settings for it (although I would hope/expect LG will fix this in a future update) but I would love to know if anyone has any known workarounds aside from the obvious solution of downgrading to Oreo in order to edit those settings and then reflashing back to Pie. I'm also using one of the frankensteined LS998's bought from eBay over a year ago, if that makes a difference.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] galapagos:
You'll have the same result using LG Bridge. You'll have the same result even if you have a bare-bone stock ROM and take the PIE OTA.

---------- Post added at 03:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------

You may see it functioning for now but it will eventually disable itself. It will probably become disabled when disconnected from wifi connection.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] techlover10:
Hmm, I actually tested that and it seems to re-enable itself (or at least indicate that I'm on WiFi calling) once I reconnect. My biggest concern is that this might be unreliable and I could miss calls. If I can rely on incoming calls working correctly then I'll stay on Pie; otherwise I might have to downgrade...although I'd really prefer to stay on Pie if I can since everything else is running smoothly right now. It seems weird that there's no workaround for this, though, since what I'm experiencing seems to be mostly an issue with the settings app.

---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 PM ----------

So, for anyone who might have an idea of how to fix the WiFi calling issue, I decided to do a bit of surface-level digging and found that the WiFi calling settings page throws an error of "Unable to find explicit activity class {com.lge.wfcsettings/com.lge/wfcsettings.Settings}; have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?" when attempting to open it while connected to a debug terminal. It sounds to me like for the dev community, this may be as simple a fix as finding a way to create a patched Settings apk with a modified AndroidManifest.xml file that correctly declares the WiFi calling settings in the manifest file. That said, although I have a surface-level understanding of what that is, I have no idea where or how I would start poking at this in the ROM (I assume I would have to root somehow as well) and this may be a complete dead end until LG gets their act together and fixes it. I just wanted to throw this out there in case it is of use to anyone in this community.

[Edit] OK, I'm really sorry for spamming this thread, but hopefully someone will find this useful. I believe the bug is as simple as LG's settings app having some sort of typo which fails to link the WiFi calling settings in the Settings app to the actual WiFi calling settings app. There's an app I found on the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wikimediacom.wifi.calling&hl=en_US which seems to bypass the linkage from the settings app and directly open the WiFi calling settings toggle for the phone. This toggle appears to correctly enable/disable it under Pie. It's pretty sad that LG didn't fix this between the beta and the release, but this seems like a viable workaround from what I can tell right now.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrsubway:
Just to clarify. I'm on H931 rooted Oreo firmware. When the zip comes out, I can just wipe the phone, flash the zip and go to town? I've been patiently waiting, and LGUP terrifies me! LMAO! Moorrreee than happy to wait for a TWRP flashable! But, will I have to do the 20f, 20g and so on?

---------- Post added 30th September 2019 at 12:13 AM ---------- Previous post was 29th September 2019 at 11:42 PM ----------

I can't test this as I'm already on an AT&T ROM. But, when I was on US998 Oreo, none of these fixes worked, and I saw that WIFI calling and Voice Over LTE weren't even provisioned. I believe it goes deeper than just the toggle being missing. At least on AT&T, they have something in the modem, or the network senses the model number and blocks WIFI calling. I cannot speak for Pie, as I don't have it yet. It's NOT based on IMEI. That doesn't change, whether I use US998 or H931 firmware. But, it shows how well the Frankenstein method works, as even the mighty AT&T network is fooled into thinking it's a US998! ?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] techlover10:
Very interesting! I'm not very active on these forums, so it appears I've committed the cardinal sin of posting about a problem without full context as to my setup...my exact situation is that I have a frankensteined LG V30+ LS998 -> US998 running on Mint Mobile, which is a T-Mobile MVNO. I had WiFi calling working on the latest Oreo ROM prior to upgrading (I believe the ROM was 20h), and 30b appears to be running just fine for me outside of the settings issue. I took a call earlier after disconnecting and reconnecting WiFi, and everything seemed to be in working order. The WiFi calling settings itself seems to run fine as well, as long as I don't try to access it from the Settings app. I've also never tried the Pie beta, so I wouldn't know anything as far as how this bug manifested itself prior to the official release. Of course, extreme YMMV; I'm also very curious to see what others' experiences are with this as far as reliability. For me, WiFi calling not working is fine as long as the calls will still come in over regular cellular; I just need to make sure my phone is reliably receiving calls.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Yeah, on Oreo US998 firmware, T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling automatically worked -- no matter with which North American variant you originally started.

For US998 Pie, right now we are using an "off brand" KDZ. (For U.S. Cellular "US998z".) Never mattered before -- all Oreo US988 KDZ acted the same. But in a few days, allegedly the Open Market US998 Pie KDZ will be released, and we'll see if it acts better.

____

But AT&TWi-Fi calling does not work with any US998 Oreo. You have to flash to AT&T firmware via TWRP flashable zip.

A lot of v30's (specially h931 variants) are having problems with this kdz (us celullar) , including me, OP said that with the release of the open market kdz problems will probably solved though in the past it hasn't mattered, we just need to wait and see, if you don't care about root or TWRP you can flash h933 kdz, it works for me as opposed to this kdz but as I said you lose on TWRP and fastboot commands.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] patato21:
If someone has an original US998 USA Unlocked variant (not US Cellular) and has not received their Pie OTA, then it is a good sign that this time LG has split their software into US998Z for US Cellular and just US998 for USA Unlocked. This did not matter before, but now the US998Z Pie KDZ shows it is meant only for US Cellular (poor GSM support, no WiFi calling, bloatware, etc). The unlocked Pie firmware will likely come out in October or November because LG always has to test the unlocked firmware to make sure it works on all networks... Sayonara ;)

We tested workflow, and this works. I'm aware the "AOSP" method uses H933.

But because the vs996 partitions compatibility is much better than h933, I prefer this for the Pie Upgrade for those who can't get past the LG logo.

Here's how similar the VS996 is to US998...

With Verizon VS996 people could actually do one less step in Frankenstein to US998 -- but I don't like to publicize that anamoly because then everyone wants to try it for their variant and it only works for VS996. ;)

This is the only one that's been released so far, and it's weird. Over on the regular US9998 page, all the Open Market (USA) and U.S. Cellular firmware (all the the types like UCK, UCL, 1US, 1UC) are listed all together:

https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-us998-firmwares/#tab=firmwares

But you don't see any 30b (Pie) there. You see all the Nougat and Oreo. You only see Pie here:

https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-us998z-firmwares/#tab=firmwares

A standalone page for US998z. It's the ONLY firmware listed on that page, as if no other firmware for it has been released before. :rolleyes:

We've never heard of this US998z. But it has a U.S. Cellular "UCL" prefix. So, why it's THIS firmware listed at the other page where all the other US998 firmware is? There's something different about this one.

Download :

- Patched LGUP ( Go to HOW TO INSTALL DEV PATCHED LGUP section)

- US99820h KDZ

- H93310h KDZ

- US998 20E.zip

- US99830b.zip

How to: (ChazzMatt thread) & Mrxyzl thread

First you need a completely clean us998 firmware, i refurbished via LGup back to 20H

Then flash recovery via fastboot normally

Shut down your phone & get to download mode

Flash H93310h KDZ with LG UP & Select Partition DL, Select all partition except recovery

Boot to TWRP , Format data

Reboot to recovery, Flash US998 20E.zip

Reboot to recovery

Wipe System, Data, Dalvik, Cache

Flash US99830b

Edit:

But i think this KDZ is not compatible with LG H933+ LS998U because some functionality stop working like the must important one : CAMERA

Edit:

Reinstalling US998b.zip via twrp fixed all issue .

So i confirm that this solution worked for me.

For me, updating my spare US998 V30+ (former LS998 converted to US998 and is NOT bootloader unlocked or rooted), I simply Refurbished straight from Nougat 10d to Pie 30b KDZ via Dev Patched LGUP. It rebooted a couple of times then settled down. Many others have done the same.

However, I know some people are having issues with being stuck on the LG logo. We don't really know why.

But the only workaround for now involves having TWRP custom recovery. Is your phone bootloader unlocked and do you have TWRP custom recovery? See

US998 KDZ post #6

-- for those who get stuck on the LG logo on Pie 30b.

For others who are not bootloader unlocked and do not wish to be (for whatever reasons), you may have to wait for another KDZ update. For now, flash back to US998 20h.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrsubway:
That's a lot. Has anyone tried to just refurbish with Pie? What is it about Pie that requires all this? I can Flash any Oreo I want. Pie soft bricks the phone. I didn't get stuck on the LG logo. I couldn't even get past the ThinQ screen.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
We don't know. It's possible when new KDZ is released for Open Market US998 it would solve issues.

But except for maybe Nougat KDZ, we've always used U.S. Cellular KDZ as they are released first and there's been no difference.

Where THIS is different as it's noted for "US998z" which I've never heard of. Even LG Firmwares had to create a separate web page for this as they've never heard of it either. Yet it's under a U.S. Cellular carrier/region code.

The ThinQ screen is the LG logo they're referring to. So you were stuck at the very same place at where everyone else was having problems.
