Hmm I don't see a link to a zip of the TWRP 3.2.3.7, only link to an .img file. To clarify: I tried to flash the suggested version of TWRP with adb and fastboot and got an error message, so I'm looking for a ZIP file of the TWRP 3.2.3.7 which I can flash with my current TWRP (assuming that's even possible).
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
I understand exactly what you meant.

What you do is you boot into TWRP, go into Install mode. Look at the lower right-hand part of screen and change from "zip" files to "img".

That's how everyone installs TWRP from within TWRP. It's very easy.

After you install the new TWRP then choose Reboot to Recovery to double-check the update.

I thought most people knew how to do that, and you were just asking for a link to the newer TWRP.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] deroth:
Thanks, that worked. Didn't notice the option to flash an img file.

Stuck on H93310h....how to get back to US998???

#no issue...fixed problem
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Viol8ter:
i have tried to update to pie foolishly i would like to regretfully add. I didn't roll back to nougat first and flashed 902.kdz after 318.kdz . Lgup said successful i then did master reset to find stuck at lg thinq screen repeatedly. Im in a understanding that i need to flash to 411.kdz but the lgup dev version is saying error dll does not match. this is a h931 Frankenstein to us998. What you guys think of this ,any help would be appreciated.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
At this point, failing in your initial attempt to update to 30b Pie KDZ, you need to downgrade back to Oreo 20h. (Letters and numbers are more understandable than dates.)

You will need to use the Dev Patched LGUP found in bottom of post #2 of this thread. Uninstall any prior versions. Follow the LGUP Installation instructions carefully (especially the SetDev.bat and desktop shortcut launch).

IF that was the version you already used, you may have to reboot the computer for it to recognize the "newer" firmware you just flashed.

Manually go into Download mode before opening LGUP.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Viol8ter:
So i found i did need to either restart or reinstall mobile drivers cause it allowed me to flash back to 810d_ then i tried a couple other ways to flash pie either from 20h to 30b or from 10d to 30b trying to follow directions. I then tried method 2 and installed 30b.zip through twrp then froze on lg logo and i then had no download mode. so i used fastboot to get to twrp and just reload my backup. every time i loaded pie it would lock up. I really appreciate your reply though thanks alot.

[MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION] hey man i followed your method but stuck at lg logo, please help me.

i was on locked oreo, then flashed nougat, after setting up nougat and enabling usb debug then tried to flash pie and after master reset, i am now stuck on lg logo, cant go into download mode either and lgup shows unknown device!!!
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Try rebooting computer to re-set LGUP.

Which Dev Patched LGUP you using? From this thread?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Abusayeed91:

So, i guess new update is coming
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
You've heard some news about US998? Since this US998 Pie 30b was released end of September, LG doesn't "owe" us an update until around Christmas.

Yes, I saw the leaked file names for the next EU H930 Pie, with November 2019 build date.

U.S. Sprint carrier still has NOT released their Pie for LS998. They claim it's still being tested... (Sprint did release "30a" a couple of months ago -- but it's Oreo. Stupid Sprint. Can't fool us!)

I figured Open Market US998 Pie KDZ would come after Sprint Pie, as that's the last last of the Canada/U.S. carrier variants to get Pie. Last year, Oreo didn't come to Open Market US998 until all the carrier variants got Oreo.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] HenDroid:
This has been a nightmare, I was running oreo 8.1 and I been itching for Pie. I don't have to but for some reason and my stubbornness I decided to upgrade. I'm not sure

what this phone started as since I got it off ebay but I believe its a us998. Well I updated it and it went smooth, I was on pie... but my wifi calling would not work, if i press

on the toggle it would crash. That made me regret upgrading to pie since I need wifi calling on my shi% reception apartment... I found and app that enables wifi calling without

going on the settings and I believe is working again. When making a call on the top left it says " wifi calling " can anyone confirm this is how Pie displays it. Oreo had a different look.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Abusayeed91:
[MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION] , i followed your instructions word for word, but couldn't upgrade to pie ( now on oreo 20h), can you confirm that this kdz is for v30 64 gb variant not for v30+ which is 128gb variant? Also can you tell how to enable carrier video calling which is grayed out in hidden menu phone info?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
It's for all configurations: V30/V30+/V30S.

There's no difference in firmware between the different internal memory/RAM options.

Having said that, this first US998 30b Pie KDZ seems to be made for U.S. Cellular. Whereas before all USS98 KDZ was universal. U.S.Cellular (small regional carrier) sold US998 -- but USS98 is also the North American Open Market variant sold by authorized retailers with no carrier affiliation -- most famously B&H Photo. The U.S. Cellular models were also carrier unlocked, and up until Pie there was no difference whatsoever -- EXCEPT the Open Market V30 was eligible for official bootloader unlock, determined by IMEI database. LG could tell whether it was actual Open Market US998 or U.S. Cellular US998 -- or even Frankenstein'ed US998.

We are waiting for another US998 KDZ to see if the update problems go away and even if there's a version that will be released without U.S. Cellular apps.

Did it work for you on 20h Oreo?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Abusayeed91:
i'm still on 20h oreo, my carrier supports video calling but there is no option for it in the dialer
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] kventura:
hey chazz is there any rom we can install if we already moved to stock pie?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
You mean custom ROMs? If you are on stock Pie, you can try all the LOS-17/Android 10/Q ROMs. All the same thing, people just call them different names. Q desert name was supposed to come after Pie, but Google stopped the desert naming and just called it "Android 10", after calling it Q throughout beta.

The new Havoc 3.0 out now is getting good reviews.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Viol8ter:
So i tried again and now i think im really done. I was attempting option 3 in the workaround section of #6. i had just installed recovery twrp and flashed h933 10h in partition dl.... all but recovery and the other recovery check and then reboot. Now i need recovery but master reset or but dance is not bringing up recovery and i get dead android man and No Command ...Line. i dont have any idea how to get into fastboot either. any ideas LOL

Noob Question,

I purchased a LG V30+ (ebay) and when I got it , sticker on back says LS998 but on phone it shows US998.

Im guessing it is a frankenstein (I think thats what u call it)? It is currently on V30b (pie)

It works fine and looks good but if I want to update it in future with new released firmware - patches do I just download the new kdz firmware and flash with the LG UP?

thanks! C
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Yes.

You would see post #2 of this thread. Right now you are on the latest US998 KDZ, but we're expecting another by end of December. Yeah, around Christmas.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] carlasan:
THX Chazz :). Will check it out. If I get the courage one of these days I will look into unlock BL and Twrp etc..thx again

p.s. would I use normal LG up or a patched lg up version / refurbished mode?

edit: I just read post#2. Looks like I need the Dev Patched LG UP and use refurb mode
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
For future Pie updates, you can use "Update" mode since you are already on Pie 30b now. Update mode would save your data; it's like a manual OTA.

But yes, you would need the Dev Patched LGUP listed in this thread.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cobra11Murderer:
I might be the only one having some weird issues with mic not working on video calls or any video apps. It's weird if I force close the app and reopen it works perfectly although once a day I run into this issue and not sure if it's just the firmware or what. I'm about to do a factory reset see if that helps but it's rather annoying. Guess could get ready to jump to aosp or something.

EDIT: Fixed a full clear and restore fixed it fully, not sure why but when in doubt sometimes a good clear fixes it lol
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] kventura:
are you still using US998 stock? Since h930 already in 30q and people say its much more improve.

Are you planning to stay on US998?

and last question regarding custom...Im using LS998 converted to US998 30b stock, if i decide to try havoc, would i need to convert to H930? And is converting to it same as converting to us998?

Every custom ROM is compatible with every V30 -- except for T-Mobile H932.

You will never have to "convert" any North American variant to an H930, and in my opinion you should never try. Because no, it's not the same as the North American cross flashing. You can mess up your phone.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] kventura:
So its not worth trying to get 30q.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
H930 30q is same version firmware as US998 30b.

You can't go by numbers when comparing different variants. You have to look at the Build Date and Security Patch.

India 30b is also same as EU H93O 30q.

Hi friends, whether this tutorial applies to my LG type: LG US998(LGUS998) aka LG V30 Plus

at the moment my android is Android version 7.1.2. Software version: US99810c, I want to update to Android Pie, can I, please answer honestly if you can.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] cmrntnnr:
LG has not released a Pie rom for the Sprint version of the v30. You could cross-flash to a Pie rom from another carrier (except tmo) but there may be trade-offs that impact your Sprint service. My suggestion would be to either hold pat for Pie either from Sprint or for open carrier v30's or upgrade to Oreo. Oreo is quite nice and the 20h rom been wonderful. I'd also suggest you pop over to the Frankenstein and WTF bootloader unlock forums and do a little reading. The background information is helpful and give you a clear picture of what is possible with your phone. The instructions for cross flashing and bootloader unlock are clear if you decide to take either of those steps.

Cheers!

He doesn't have Sprint LS998. I don't see any mention of Sprint in his question.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Yes. This is stock Pie for US998. See post #2 for update instructions. Good that your are still on Nougat.

You can use Dev Patched LGUP and use Refurbish mode to get to Pie KDZ.

When I updated my spare US998 V30+ to Pie, I was on Nougat and used Refurbish mode. I updated with no issues whatsoever.

If you do have issues then see post #6. But try post #2 first.

1) Go to this US998 OREO KDZ thread:

[US998][STOCK][OREO]LG V30 US998 US99820h_00_0318.KDZ

https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/development/us998-lg-v30-us998-us99820a040330-kdz-t3786337

Download the 20h KDZ from post #1 of that thread.

2) Install latest Dev Patched LGUP from here:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79971595&postcount=3

(Ignore that the post is about downgrading. Just follow the Dev Patched LGUP installation instructions.)

3) Flash 20h KDZ in "Upgrade" mode.

Yes, this screenshot shows upgrading from Nougat to 20a, but same process. (In fact, that screenshot shows "regular" LGUP, not even Dev Patched LGUP, but Dev Patched LGUP give you more privileges.) If you encounter any problem, then try Refurbish mode.

Hello everyone,

I have a converted US998 and just wanted to give some quick feedback regarding the possibe annoying lag that may occur after upgrading to Pie.

This was probably a Sprint phone, because LG Bridge is not available via USB cable. It simply won't work. Lucky me just found out that there's another fix mentioned. I'm not 100% sure it helped, sometimes the phone appears to be more smoothly, other times I can feel some jaggies here and there.

Does anyone knows a way to make LG Bridge work again, or is there any other fix available to fix the lag?

Thanks a lot

Hello i have a h931 converted us998

I wanted to upgrade to pie (previously us99820h) so i did the instructions on post 6

I did everything just right or just like it descriped in the post but when i refurbished to us99830b when it completed it showed erasing then stuck on v30 logo

I want to upgrade to pie really annoyed especially i want the gcam 6.2

Any help ?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Viol8ter:
I also have a h931 tried like 8 times to upgrade to pie never got it boot...tried all four ways the last option in reply 6.... I didn't hardware button dance fast enough or there was another issue but it bricked hard no fast boot, no recovery, no download mode. I had to pay a member to reload my phone through team viewer session using 9008 mode. The reason I say this is not to discourage any one, cause I do appreciate the help posted here. All the first three ways mentioned, there is solid ways to unbrick. The hardware button dance in the last option (could just be me or my computer) is risky... If recovery don't open then you need a phone repair man.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrsubway:
I gave up until a more compatible version comes out. I'm on H931 rooted stock Oreo, and I'm happy.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
I HATE the hardware button dance and always strive to provide other ways to boot to TWRP.

However with Method #3 of Post #6, there's no other way --because you don't have fastboot flash commands on H933. It's the only time in any of my Instructions you have to do that to get to TWRP.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
No. ;)

As I clearly state at the top of post #6, those are the only ways that work if Post #2 didn't work.

Problem is people don't take post #2 method seriously. They just try to update straight from Oreo to Pie... Only after that doesn't work (and they PERMANENTLY CHANGE their phones just trying to update to Pie) then they HAVE to use the three methods in post #6.

Hello i have h931 converted to us998

I wanted to upgrade to us99830b (from 20h)last month and i used upgrade mode without twrp and it bootlooped

(ik it's a mistake bcs i haven't red the post)

Then i installed twrp and wiped system data internal and installed 30b.zip but bootloops in lg logo

After a month i used the method 1 but it didn't work everything went ok until i showed lg v30 logo then automaticly showed erasing then stuck at lg v30

I don't want to try more just want to use custom rom pie now is it safe ? Bcs i saw in post #1 you can't use oreo blobs roms after upgrading even when downgrade

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
The same way you got into bootloader when you unlocked your bootloader in WTF INSTRUCTIONS.

You haven't "lost" your Recovery partition -- you merely have stock Recovery again, instead of TWRP custom Recovery.

You're basically going through the WTF Section 6 TWRP installation, data format, etc. Except you're also installing USS98 30b.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:

Yeah, Windows 10 with USB 3.0 ports doesn't seem to like V30. Whenever I say that, others with Windows 10 and USB 3.0 claim they have no issues -- but yet all the complaints/problems people have seem to be with that, and when they go back to older computers (Win 7 but especially USB 2.0 ports) the problem is solved! That's why it's one of the suggestions in the WTF Guide Trouble Shooting Tips.

Some people have also bought cheap USB 2.0 hubs to plug into their computers and that works.

I have tried with post #6 with bootloader lock. And I don't wants unlock bootloader.

Is there any way bro?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
I believe I already answered that question. See screenshot.

Since it's been about three months, we should be receiving another US998 KDZ soon.

___________

However if you are NOT bootloader unlocked (and don't care about doing so), and you don't specifically NEED US998 Pie firmware -- but just want LG V30 stock Pie, you can Frankenstein your phone to Canada H933 firmware and have LG stock Pie.

See the

Frankenstein instructions,

but you will basically be going the OTHER direction, from US998 > H933.

0) Download and install the Dev Patched LGUP firmware attached to that post. Read the installation instruction carefully and uninstall any prior version of Dev Patched LGUP. (It's the same version found in this US998 Pie KDZ thread you are in right now, but they are both different from the Dev Patched LGUP found in the Oreo threads.)

1) Using Dev Patched LGUP, REFURBISH your US998 to

US998 Nougat KDZ

2) Partition DL (all partitions) US998 Nougat to

H933 Nougat KDZ

3)

Master Reset

(to stop any bootlooping)

4) Partition DL H933 Nougat (all partitions) to

H933 Pie KDZ

5) Master Reset again, just in case.

You are now on Canada H933 Pie firmware.

You will have these bands:

CANADA H933

2G	GSM: 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

3G	HSDPA: 850 / 1700(AWS) / 1900 / 2100

4G	LTE bands: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 20, 25, 29, 30, 66

However,

if you ever want to bootloader unlock and root your phone, you have to come back to US998 for fastboot flash commands.

If you ever want to run LOS-16 or LOS-17 custom ROMs, you will also have to go through the tedious additional former H931/H933 prep steps.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] jamey090:
Thank you, Brother.

Please inform us when another KDZ release.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Recently I Frankenstein'ed a Pie US998 V30+ (but former LS998 V30+) over to Canada H933 Pie for my brother-in-law in Brazil.

While it was already on US998 Pie (easily updated straight from US998 Nougat), it's not bootloader unlocked or rooted -- but he doesn't need that. However, some Brazil carriers use LTE band 8 -- which the Canada H933 has, and US998 does not. While H933 doesn't have CDMA bands, it actually has more LTE bands than US998.

US998

CDMA: 800 MHz CDMA

2G GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

3G UMTS (HSPA):850/900/1900/2100 MHz

4G LTE Bands: 1/2/3/4/5/7/12(17)/13/20/25/66

CANADA H933
