[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
First, you have an H930DS. It's a 128GB V30+ with dual sim. The "plus" in V30+ merely means more internal storage. There are other 128GB V30+ without dual SIM capability (like H930G, LS998, US998 V30+), and there are 64GB V30 with dual SIM (like the H930D). Just clarifying for you and others exactly what you have. By the way, most dual SIM owners don't actually need/use their dual SIM capability.

Second, no, there's no more recent that I'm aware of. Well, heard maybe some Korean V30 variants got December 2019 update, but now that's finished. And it's not compatible with H930DS, which you have.

This is a 2017 phone, and you bought it end of 2-year stock firmware updates cycle. Your Pie 30C (Android 9) update was end of the line for any firmware updates and security patches. It should have gone longer -- to at least mid-2020 based on promises LG made for Enterprise Recommended agreement with Google, and I thought would probably go to end of 2020 -- but LG has walked away. :rolleyes:

Third, you can use the Dev Patched LGUP from any Pie KDZ thread to flash whatever H930DS firmware you wish over your H939DS. Do you want Australian firmware? You won't get any newer firmware (Australia 30C also has September 2019 security patch), but you can get closer to wherever you live. Some regional firmware is optimized for carriers in that region. In your case specifically, I don't know that you would gain any advantage by flashing Australian H930DS firmware vs Taiwan H930DS firmware -- but if you live in Australia, it wouldn't hurt.

Here's the Australia H930DS 30C KDZ:

If you want to change over to this firmware, you would use Dev Patched LGUP to help you cross flash from your Taiwan firmware. Read the instructions at bottom of this

H930SD Pie KDZ post #2

. IGNORE that the thread is for India H930DS. It's the Dev Patched LGUP at the bottom of the post you need to read. ;) You would want to use REFURBISH mode or PARTITION DL mode (choosing all Partitions in separate window). Do NOT use "Upgrade" mode since you would be cross flashing.

This is an example of the interface you will be using:

Fourth, if you bootloader unlocked and rooted you could get current security patches and even newer OS through LOS-17 (Android 10) based custom ROMs. But be aware of trade-offs (bugs like no VoLTE, no LG camera, etc). Here's

But on stock firmware with old security patch, the V30 is still a FANTASTIC phone. (I know you have V30+, but we tend to call them all "V30" (V30/V30+/V30S) unless you are discussing some specific difference. For instance, the V30S is basically a V30+ with 6GB RAM.)

I myself am still on stock rooted Oreo. The US998 Pie was too wonky for me. I have rooted Oreo with Magisk and Xposed mods to customize the phone the way I want and add other features.

If you are interested in rooting your V30+ read this. Post #1 is about rooting. Post #2 is FAQ about custom ROMs.

ROOT YOUR V30!
