* WTF V30/V30+/V30S Bootloader Unlock, TWRP and Root INSTRUCTIONS
The WTF bootloader unlock, TWRP installation, root method (link above) works on EVERY V3O variant in existence -- EXCEPT for U.S. T-Mobile H932. Read the instructions in a web browser, not an app. Print out the instructions and read them thoroughly!
For U.S. T-Mobile H932, use this alternate method:

Print out the instructions and read them thoroughly!

When rooting your V30/V30+/V30S, you will TEMPORARILY downgrade to earlier stock firmware, unless you are already on that earlier firmware. After rooting, you should immediately upgrade back to at least most recent Oreo stock firmware via TWRP-flashable zips found in the forum. This is necessary to:
* have fixes/features on recent stock V30 updates -- like DTS 3D Surround Sound or better LG stock camera. These features/fixes were included in the latter Oreo update, with the last being most stable.
AND/OR
* install custom LOS-16 "Pie" ROMs. (ONLY upgrade to most recent Oreo firmware! Do NOT upgrade to LG stock Pie yet!) You need most recent LG Oreo as a foundation for LOS-16 custom ROMs to work right.
MORE INFORMATION:
IGNORE that V30 LOS-based ROMs are called "H930" ROMs.
They are "V30" ROMs. Do NOT try to flash stock H930* firmware over North American variants to run LOS-based "H930" ROMs!
Please ask any questions in those threads listed above.
POST #2:
FAQ ON AOSP/Lineage/LOS-16 & LOS 17.x CUSTOM ROMS
1) What's the deal? Why are V30 LOS-based ROMs called "H930" ROMs? Yet everyone says they work all other variants. Why not call them "V30" ROMs?
IGNORE that V30 LOS-based ROMs are called "H930" ROMs.
They are indeed "V30" ROMs. They are "Joan" (code name for LG V30) ROMs. Do NOT try to flash stock H930* firmware over North American variants to run LOS-based "H930" ROMs!
The "H930" label is sort of a "mistake" from the beginning which we can't go back and fix in the LOS tree. ("Mistake" isn't quite the right word but will do for now.)
* ALL LOS-16 based ROMs are compatible with ANY V30 variant, including T-Mobile H932.
* LOS-17 based ROMs are compatible with ANY V30 variant --EXCEPT for U.S. T-Mobile H932.
EDIT: As of October 2020, any LOS-based custom ROMS produced AFTER that are compatible with T-Mobile H932. Thanks to the efforts of @ShapeShifter499. To be safe, only install latest ROMs made well AFTER 2020.
See Question #4 below for more information about T-mobile H932 which ARE compatible with LOS-16 ROMs.
____________
2) Uh, so I've bootloader unlocked, installed TWRP and rooted and on Nougat/early Oreo. I don't plan on running stock firmware, so I can just go install an "Android 10" (LOS-17) ROM, right?
NO.
* You need to be on most recent OREO stock rooted firmware before attempting to install AOSP/LOS-16 Pie/Android 9 custom ROMs. V30 LOS-16 ROMs need LG stock Oreo/Android 8 blobs (drivers) and you need the most RECENT for everything to work right.
* You need to be on Pie/Android 9 stock rooted firmware before attempting to install V30 AOSP/LOS-17 "Android 10" custom ROMs. V30 LOS-17 ROMs need LG stock Pie/Android 9 blobs (drivers) for everything to work right.
In particular you can NOT be on LG early Oreo or Nougat, even though you needed to be on that initial bootloader unlock. There are TWRP-flashable zips (ROMs) based on stock Oreo/Android 8 KDZ or Pie/Android 9 KDZ to help you upgrade to later stock firmware. Links for stock firmware TWRP-flashable zips are posted in the Oreo/Android 8 and Pie/Android 9 KDZ threads for most major variants. Use these TWRP-flashable zips to update to most recent Oreo/Android 8 or Pie/Android 9 stock firmware before flashing any V30 AOSP/LOS-based custom ROMs.
When rooting your V30/V30+/V30S, you will TEMPORARILY downgrade to earlier LG stock firmware which can be exploited, unless you are already on that earlier firmware. After rooting, you should immediately upgrade back to most recent stock Oreo/Android 8 firmware via those TWRP-flashable zips or else things probably won't work right.
You do need to update to stock Pie first before trying to install "Android 10" LOS-17 custom ROMs.
____________
3) Hey, my AT&T H931/Canada H933 can't boot these LOS-based ROMs. What am I doing wrong?
FYI: AT&T H931 and Canada H933 V30 variants will need additional prep work before installing AOSP/LOS-based custom ROMs.
You can do it, there are dedicated threads for it. But just warning you -- it's many additional steps besides simple bootloader unlock, TWRP and root.

____________
4) Tell me again about T-Mobile H932 and LOS-ROMs?
As of October 2020, any LOS-based ROMS produced after that date should be compatible with T-Mobile H932. Thanks to @ShapeShifter499. BEFORE that date, the ROM had to be specifically made for T-Mobile H932. To be safe, only install latest ROMs made well after 2020.
AFTER October 2020, ALL LOS "H930" Pie LOS-based custom ROMs are compatible with ANY V30 variant.
For LOS-based custom ROMs, the "H930" description in the ROM title simply means ANY V30 variant can run it. "H930" is often the generic name for the V30 series. I could explain why, but it doesn't matter. The exception is if you are installing H930 stock ROMs. Do NOT try to do that with H932! You will brick your phone. That's just how it is.
NOTE: For LOS-16 you need most recent stock Oreo blobs (drivers), NOT stock Pie. You need to be on last stock Oreo firmware for LOS-16. THIS is last T-Mobile H932 Oreo:

5) I need VoLTE!
I have India Jio carrier and they only have LTE, with no 3G HSPA to temporarily drop down to for voice calls.
Also, in the U.S., Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile are shutting down their 3G CDMA and HPSA in 2022.
I need VoLTE!
No VoLTE or VoWiFi on LOS-based ROMs. Stop asking. (Stock based ROMs like A.I.X. do have VoLTE.)
If you absolutely need VoLTE you need to flash back to stock firmware or possibly check out A.I.X. (But no promises about VoLTE on AIX for everyone. It also depends on the carrier.)
* Most Verizon users need Verizon VS996 firmware for VoLTE, but US998 can work.
* T-Mobile SIM card users can get VoLTE on both US998 firmware or T-Mobile H932 firmware
(WARNING: T-Mobile H932 firmware is only compatible with T-Mobile H932 phones. US998 firmware is NOT compatible with T-Mobile H932 phones, but can be flashed to any other North American V30 variant).
* India Jio users can use EAS (India) H930DS Pie firmware. Also, last Oreo EU H930 firmware has Jio VolTE, but not the EU H930 Pie firmware.
____________
6) What is this A.I.X. ROM I hear people talk about? I can't find it on XDA.
It's a Pie stock-based ROM. Like stock on steroids. Vast improvements in camera and battery usage. No, not found on XDA can be found elsewhere. Not for newbies, but users swear by it.
EDIT: The A.I.X. dev has pulled all files from public view.
____________
7) What if I don't like LOS-based custom ROMs? I hear there are bugs, we can't use LG camera, and there's no VoLTE.
Bugs in LOS-17 are slowly going away, but everything on stock rooted firmware does work just fine. I actually suggest you unlock bootloader, install TWRP and root and run rooted most-recent Oreo stock firmware -- with some Magisk mods -- for awhile before jumping into the custom LOS ROMs. (See point #1 about not updating to stock Pie until you are sure.) Read the various custom ROM threads -- see what works, what doesn't.
If you just want to run rooted stock firmware with Magisk and edXposed (to pass Safety Net) mods, last stock Oreo firmware is the most stable and stock Pie is not really an improvement.
____________
8) Why do I need TWRP? I just want ROOT!
PLEASE make TWRP backups, so you can restore back to rooted stock firmware in case you mess up something!
TWRP custom recovery is a magical time machine which can help you go back before you did something you shouldn't have. But it can only help you if you have a backup to restore. One of the best feelings in the world is when you done something idiotic on your rooted phone -- and then you remember you have a recent TWRP backup. You don't need to ask for help and no one even needs to know.
Also there are some mods you can only flash in TWRP.

WARNING: Pedantic complaint ahead! TLDR: Calling a ROM by the letter Q is ignorant. I don't care who is doing it, it shows they don't understand the Android naming system.
9) What is the difference between Android "Q" ROMs and "Android 10" ROMs? I see both names, sometimes used interchangeably.
Please don't call Android 10 "Q". Q was the beta name. It's now graduated. It's no longer beta. It's "Android 10" -- and has the Android statue at Google HQ to prove it. LOS-17.x custom ROMs are based on Android 10 -- not made from beta "Q" (pre-Android 10) software.
If you are not aware...
With Google's long-time naming scheme for Android, first they released beta "alphabet letter", then revealed full name + statue at graduation from beta status. Final release name was based on a sweet snack/dessert. Many times over the years Google teased devs/users what the REAL name was going to be with false clues. If you keep using beta letter, you are REALLY referring to the old beta software, not current Android software. What confused some people with Android 10 is the escort dessert name never came. Instead of naming it after a dessert, Google decided beta Q would simply became Android 10. The statue at Google headquarters is "Android 10."
CONCLUSION:
No actual "Q" ROMs exist, to my knowledge or they are very outdated. "Q" was the beta letter for what became Android 10. Like a caterpillar vs butterfly. You don't keep calling it a caterpillar once it's turned into a butterfly!

"Q" on the left, "Android 10" on the right
People who call Android 10 by beta letter "Q" are committing a faux pas -- or simply they have no clue what they are talking about. If they are too lazy to say "Android 10", then just call it "10". Like they will eventually do with "11" or "12". Regrettably this includes some younger users -- even some Devs -- who came along recently and don't understand Google's historical naming convention. Starting with 2020 "Android 11", Google is ditching the beta "alphabet letter" entirely. It's simply called "Android 11 Developer Preview", and will be called Android 11 upon release. Same with 2021 "Android 12"... No more beta letters! But also no more dessert names, which were fun.
____________
But for those of you who don't know how it all worked over the past decade, read on...
When Google graduated an OS from beta to official release, they give it FULL name and a statue on Google Headquarters. The Naming/Statue Ceremony is a BIG deal and no one uses the beta letter again -- because it's officially out of beta.
"K", "L", "M", "N", "O", "P", "Q" were merely the beta letters before release and Google officially named them. I could go all the way back to beta "C" which became "Cupcake" -- but you get the point.
In the past, the official name was always a full dessert/snack name based on the beta letter. What the official name was going to be was always a matter of intense speculation in the months prior to release/naming ceremony and Google would often put false clues in the beta "letter" firmware. Only when the statue was revealed would you know the official name.
Beta "K" became "Kitkat" (Android 4.4, 2013) and got Kitkat statue
Beta "L" became "Lollipop" (Android 5, 2014) and got Lollipop statue
Beta "M" became "Marshmallow" (Android 6, 2015) and got Marshmallow statue
Beta "N" became "Nougat" (Android 7, 2016) and got Nougat statue
Beta "O" became "Oreo" (Android 8, 2017) and got Oreo statue
Beta "P" became "Pie" (Android 9, 2018) and got Pie statue
However, for Beta "Q" graduation, Google jettisoned the dessert name and only went with the version NUMBER, Android 10.
Beta Q became "Android 10" (2019) and got Android 10 statue.
It's no longer Q, because it's no longer beta OS. It's officially Android 10 with statue to prove it. If you speak of Q, you are talking about the beta firmware that came prior to "Android 10".

WARNING: Sarcastic question ahead!
10) When I want to ask a question, I just post in the nearest thread I can find. Even if sort of on topic, I don't bother reading anything in that thread. Because my question is unique. No one in the past 3 years could have ever had a similar situation with this phone. Right?
Actually would be good for you to search relevant threads. 50 other people probably had the same issue, same question last year. Quick keyword search in a thread can give you immediate answer, without even posting your question. Besides simple keyword search, read the last few posts of a thread. Don't be narcissistic and assume ONLY YOU have ever encountered this issue or have this question. This phone was released in 2017 and I bet there's NOTHING we haven't seen, many times.
But if you have a question you can't find an answer for, ASK first in the Q&A forum before you screw up your phone. Those of us who have gone through it multiple times can help! You really don't want to 9008 brick your awesome phone... There's some actions even TWRP can't help you recover from.
* You need to be on Pie/Android 9 stock rooted firmware before attempting to install V30 AOSP/LOS-17 "Android 10" custom ROMs. V30 LOS-17 ROMs need LG stock Pie/Android 9 blobs (drivers) for everything to work right.

The reason I specifically say "North America" is to include Canada. Otherwise I would say U.S. The European and Asian V30 have some differences, but also use the WTF bootloader unlock method. However, the North American versions have to either be US998 or temporarily convert to US998 firmware because of the North American versions, only the US998 has the necessary fastboot flash commands. (The only North American variant which can NOT use WTF exploit is the T-Mobile H932, which has to use another method. Trying WTF on T-Mobile H932 will brick it.)

No. Wrong. Obtaining root privileges gives you the ability to modify the way the hardware and software interface and communicate. Many people 'break' or brick their smartphone because they want to 'make their phone faster.' Often root is more about a user (or customer) being given the ability and freedom to edit the hardware/software code exchange at various levels of Android OS architecture (code)

Mi Note 2 - Global Rom Release
Okay so MIUI have finally released the global version of MIUI for Mi Note 2.
Remember this ROM works on all versions of the Mi Note 2, not just the Global Edition but also the CN edition with limited bands just don't go thinking it will unlock those extra bands.
For the many of us on xiaomi.eu or mi-globe there are limited gains perhaps but let's not forget what options we have now.
Full Official Multi-Language Rom can be used with locked bootloader. This means there is no root but:
We can pass Android SafetyNet - Android Pay Compatibility, Various Banking Apps
Multi-Language Rom that supports OTA updates
Pre-Installed Google Apps
Much less Chinese Bloatware
Probably a few other things I'm forgetting.
Now for the download links:
These are direct from Xiaomi so note their speed isn't always the best but I'd rather give you you direct from them so you know there's no tampering.

NB. Latest Dev version (Global Beta version 7.3.2 has been suspended for Mi Note 2 this week so this is the most recent.) You will be notified by Updater when a new release is available.
Recovery versions (i.e zip) can be flashed via TWRP (though won't be able to flash OTA updates this way) or for full MIUI guide see here
One final note, don't go discussing the global dev rom on the MIUI forums until they make it available themselves. No good will come of it.
And on the somewhat optimistic side usually Xiaomi release source code 3-4 months after global rom release. Once that source code is released hopefully we can see some real dev action for custom roms.
Thank you my firend.
I tried there is no problem.
I've purchased the Mi Note 2 from Banggood today, keen to use the Global Rom, as I'm sure it'll be better than what I get!

There's probably a more complete guide on the MIUI forums.
The short of it is you need to apply to unlock the bootloader of your device (it may already come unlocked - I don't know if Banggood install custom vendor ROMs).
After that personally I'd install TWRP since I'd want it rooted anyway.
Once you've done that you flash the zip with TWRP (there are now newer versions than listed here - check MIUI forums)
Flash Magisk or SuperSU or something if you want root and that's it.

You don't need to root but it's a bit of a gamble with the bootloader.
It's possible to do it with it locked but if anything goes wrong then you're in an awkward position. You can use the built-in recovery and rename to update.zip method.
Mi Note 2
I got the Global Mi Note 2 from china, I am so glad it came with a locked bootloader and the Global ROM pre-installed. Unfortunately, you just *CANNOT* install the official ROM w/o unlocking the bootloader, just an FYI. Once you flash the official ROM, it will relock the bootloader. But I need security on my device so I need the bootloader to be locked but luckily it came pre-installed with the Global ROM so I am pleased needless to say..

If you're not getting OTA updates it's most likely you have a vendor ROM rather than official. Download and flash an official update (there are plenty of guides on the MIUI forums if you're unsure how), after that you'll be good to get OTA updates.
8.2.6.0 is the latest stable I believe - It's available as a fastboot rom but for whatever reason not a flashable zip. Alternatively you can update to Miui 8.2.5.0 with a recovery update. That way you can confirm OTA updates and not have to lose any saved apps. Both links are for global version.

Do you have the Global Version of the phone, 8.2.6.0 is only available for the Chinese version of the phone and not the Global. I don't think that is a vendor rom, the phone came in a factory sealed box and I have the update app/option on it. Some people were advising to change the region to India or something else from USA and the new versions will come, bit I haven't tried yet.

Both the download links are for the global stable rom.
8.2.6.0 is the latest stable release for both Chinese and Global rom. Both roms work (with the correct band support) on all editions of the phone.
The Chinese rom has CN in the code name, i.e. MADCNDL, whereas the global has MI i.e MADMIDL, in the same place. If you check About in Settings you'll see the code next to the Miui version info. You'll see the same codes in the download links.
The vendor roms will still usually include the update app and often resellers will re-seal boxes. Not to say you definitely have one but that doesn't preclude it.
Changing region might help, otherwise the links are above.
I don't see any download link for Mi Note 2 8.2.6.0..I did an OTA update to 8.2.5.0 ..not willing to flash any rom unless it is an OTA or gets through system update right now..
I did luck out with the vendor though, i asked a bunch of questions before I ordered it.currently the only way to verify if you have a global version of the phone is by the lettering on the box..unfortunately..

For whatever reason 8.2.6.0 is only shipping as a fastboot rom at the moment. No idea why but I doubt there's any major features you're missing out on.

It's a horrible way to update though, fine for a clean install.
The naming convention is a mess with the overlap of global rom and global edition being easily confused, notably on the vendors part around launch but it does seem they've sorted themselves out now.
The box being the only distinction really doesn't help matters.

HOW TO (temporarily) DOWNGRADE BACK TO OREO FOR BOOTLOADER UNLOCK
1) DOWNLOAD FIRMWARE AND DEV PATCHED LGUP
* Download Oreo KDZ you wish to install -- for bootloader unlock would be this CIS 20d. You can update to more current firmware AFTER unlocking bootloader on early Oreo.
* DOWNLOAD THIS DUAL VERSION OF DEV PATCHED LGUP, made by @tecknight:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603845019
(Or use attached file from bottom of this post. Thanks to @tecknight! Please go here and click the THANK BUTTON!)
_________________
2) INSTALL DEV PATCHED LGUP
0. Uninstall any prior LGUP you have. Uninstall anything like Uppercut, which no longer works and causes conflicts with this Dev Patched LGUP.
1. Extract LGUP_DualMode.zip to a folder on your PC.
2. Browse into the folder and launch LGUP_Store_Frame_Ver_1_14_3.msi.
Follow the prompts to complete the install.
3. In that folder, right click and select "Run as Administrator" on "SetDev.bat" to set LGUP to developer mode
4. Launch LGUP using the desktop shortcut, NOT the Install folder shortcut.
Choose Process : PARTITION DL (all partitions)[/B]
----------------------------
3) DOWNGRADING/UPGRADING ANY LG V30/V30+/V30S TO EARLY OREO KDZ FIRMWARE
1) Go into download mode (power off completely, then hold volume up button while plugging in USB cable)
2) open patched LGUP and flash OREO KDZ to DL PARTITION mode. In the pop up box "Select All". Use the attached patched LGUP in this post.
You can also use REFURBISH mode, if you wish.
3) Master Reset (post 101 of Frankenstein thread)
5) DONE.
It's fairly easy. Most people breeze right through this. But if you have any problems, go through this list:
Make sure you in download mode BEFORE opening the patched LGUP file.
This is at the top of the list as some people forget to do that. The remainder are in no particular order. If that doesn't work,
Try different USB port,
Try different USB cable,
Try different computer.
Reinstall LG mobile drivers on your PC.
Reinstall dev patched LGUP again, making sure the files are placed where they need to go (LG Electronics folder, etc).
REBOOT THE COMPUTER.
If you ask for help, that's the list of items we are going to give you anyway.

4) IF YOU NEED TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER (with early Oreo), GO READ [URL="https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpos
IF you are using this for bootloader unlock purposes, then you probably want DL PARTITION mode and choose all partitions.
NOTE: @crubbish says he unlocked his bootloader on his H930DS using THIS Oreo. He says he did not flash the European open market H930. While the H930 Oreo KDZ will give H930DS users dual SIM functionality (at least a dozen users who unlocked their bootloaders and rooted say so) -- this definitely will also, as it's an H930DS Oreo KDZ.
I am only posting it due to @crubbish's statements. You can use this Oreo KDZ, and have fastboot flash commands which allow you to unlock your bootloader, install TWRP and root using the new_unlock.bin code from the WTF thread.
It's an alternative to the H930 Oreo KDZ in the instructions in that thread.
Any issues? As im a beginner nd these things r totally unknown to me

Issues with what?
This is stock LG Oreo KDZ from LG for CIS region H930DS.
The only reason you would use this would be to upgrade any H930DS from Nougat to Oreo (but you can also do that with European H930 Oreo KDZ) and/or to get fastboot commands to bootloader unlock, install TWRP and root any H930DS (which you can also do with European H930 Oreo KDZ).
Both will still give any H930DS the dual SIM functionality.
This is just an alternative KDZ for anyone who wants to use it. Some H930DS users don't trust single SIM KDZ, even though we've shown dual SIM functionality remains.
I dont know if im talking sensible or not but please tell me this rom for cis regions will work with indian lg v30+ variant and any issues in this rom beside jio volte not working.
Thanks
EDIT: If you want India Oreo KDZ with pre-July 2018 firmware so you can unlock bootloader, use this. Then after bootloader unlock you can safely update to latest India firmware. That will also give you Jio VoLTE.

Yes, it will work for India H930DS V30+, except for Jio VoLTE (which is Jio fault).
It will also give you the same bootloader unlock capabilities (fastboot flash commands) as the European H930 Oreo KDZ, from what @crubbish says.
Just checked in the G6 forum and i heard that H870DS version has started its oreo roll out in Asia Pacific region, finally..
means, H930DS' turn will be next, just wait..
But, my question is, if we have updated using the LGUP, (no root etc) and some day there is an OTA update from the LG server, can we still see the notification and download the update over the air just like normal? It should be able, right?

From what I was told, CIS is a group of former Soviet/Russian republics.
The Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) formed when the former Soviet Union (now called Russia) totally dissolved in 1991. At its conception it consisted of ten former Soviet Republics: Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan.

No. It's just LG stock Oreo for H939DS.
It has no advantages over any other H930DS Oreo KDZ (like Hong Kong).
I mean, if someone wants to create a full stock flashable zipped ROM, feel free. But when people do stock-based ROM they usually take stuff out or still make changes.
Edited to include information on July 2018 and later security patches.

H930DS20d_00_OPEN_CIS_DS_OP_0526.kdz. Flash with LGUP attached to post #1. This is one V30/V30+ firmwares that have the necessary fastboot flash commands to unlock your bootloader, install TWRP and root with the WTF method.
Safe to flash if you have not yet unlocked your bootloader, as it has May 2018 security update, not yet the July 2018 security update (which will reportedly block the bootloader unlock exploit). You can tell by the date in file name 5/26 (2018) -- not when it was actually released to the public (early June 2018).
Previous firmware was H930DS20c_00_OPEN_CIS_DS_OP_0419.kdz, which was finalized on 4/19 (2018), even though it was released in early May 2018.
Any firmware updates with July 2018 dates or later, do NOT use until you have unlocked your bootloader!
If you have unlocked your bootloader, you can flash any firmware update and your bootloader will remain unlocked.

FYI, for those who don't know what we are referring to in the "June 2018 security patch." But we are trying to warn people.
Android Security Bulletin: Everything you need to know!
https://www.androidcentral.com/android-security-bulletin
Highlights for June 2018
June 2018's update comes with two patch dates: 06/01/2018 and 06/05/2018.
LG, Qualcomm, MediaTek, and NVIDIA all provide important fixes for their assorted binaries across all devices, and critical issues with the bootloader were patched by Qualcomm and LG.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
NOTE: "critical issues with the bootloader were patched by Qualcomm and LG." Qualcomm is even getting involved.
What does that sound like? Fixing the LG Oreo bootloader unlock exploit, where ANY unlock.bin command (even one for a Huawei phone) will unlock the bootloader, even if it says it FAILS?
Yes, @TxanMoe then created his own new_unlock.bin code which does not give a "FAIL" notice, and I also experimented with an "official" LG Developer website bootloader unlock code on one of my eBay LS998 V30+ which I converted to US998 V30+. It succeeded, but should not have since it was for a open market V30 with another IMEI and DeviceID. The current LG Oreo exploit something so wonderful you can only dream about it. But it's real. And it sounds like LG and Qualcomm are rushing to close it.
But anyone who ever wants root should unlock their bootloader now or risk forever that door being closed.

If you install via upgrade it'll wipe your TWRP. Best to DL PARTITION, but Uncheck the recovery partitions. That will keep TWRP custom recovery. Boot to TWRP, flash those three files. With TWRP backup and Titanium Backup you can restore all data and apps.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FLASHING
1) Go into download mode (power off completely, then hold volume up button while plugging in USB cable)
2) open patched LGUP and flash THIS ROM to VIA UPGRADE.
It's fairly easy. Most people breeze right through this. But if you have any problems, go through this list:
Make sure you in download mode BEFORE opening the patched LGUP file.
This is at the top of the list as some people forget to do that. The remainder are in no particular order. If that doesn't work,

Reboot the computer.
If you ask for help, that's the list of items we are going to give you anyway.
IF FOR SOME REASON, YOU CANNOT FLASH VIA UPGRADE, then use "DL PARTITION" METHOD:
1) Go into download mode (power off completely, then hold volume up button while plugging in USB cable)
2) open patched LGUP and flash THIS ROM to DL PARTITION. In the pop up box "Select All". Use the attached patched LGUP in this post.
5) DONE.
UPGRADE method lets you keep you data, apps while DL PARTITION METHOD will wipe everything.
_______________
Not necessary, but putting this next item here just so you know... IF for some reason your phone is acting wonky, usually a Master Reset will fix it. No need to reflash anything, but this procedure below does wipe all data. It will give you "factory fresh" setup on the new KDZ. We use this on purpose over in the Frankenstein thread for US998, but is not usually necessary for this simple Oreo H930DS upgrade to another region H930DS.
MASTER RESET
With your device powered off, press and hold the Power button and Volume Down buttons simultaneously for a few seconds.
When the LG logo appears, quickly release and then re-hold the Power button while keep holding the Volume Down button.
Let go of the buttons when the onscreen menu appears.
When you see the option to Delete all user data (including LG and carrier apps) and reset all settings message prompt, press the Volume Down button to highlight Yes.
Then press the Power button to reset the device.
Wait until the reset is complete then reboot your device. If it’s able to boot up successfully, proceed with the initial setup.

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!!

Yes, if you just want to install this, then you flash the KDA with the dev patched LGUP attached to post #1. You would be on the Oreo PHL KDZ which has India VoLTE.
That would be the first step anyway for bootloader unlock and root. But you can stop there if you wish.
To then unlock the bootloader you would just use the WTF method and flash the "fake" bootloader unlock command in ADB. Your bootloader would be unlocked, and you could install TWRP and then in TWRP flash Magisk.
But again, you can just stop after upgrading to this Oreo and not do the other steps.

don't need to have patched .dll and patched LGUP.exe to flash this rom if we just need unrooted and locked bootloader v30 after flash ?

That verbiage by @padmanek is copied from all my other threads where I supply KDZ and I kept it. He was explaining why the dev patched LGUP is sometimes not necessary... But for this thread I only supplied the dev patched LGUP he gave us (not the weaker one), to make sure it works. It's the most powerful version of LGUP. Why use any other? Bi removed that wording since it was confusing you for some reason...
I think you guys are trying to make it too hard. This is the exact same method everyone uses for the past few months to upgrade to Oreo from another region. Australian and even Indian H930DS who upgraded to other versions used this method (even before bootloader unlock and root was available). The DIFFERENCE is this PHL OREO has India VoLTE. It's been proven.
But this is not some new process or difficult at all. You're just using LGUP to upgrade to newer KDZ.
Does any one from India owing the 930ds knows how to cook a rom and can convert this one to a twrp flashable zip file?

@westwood24 did it for us for the H930 20R. He can probably do it for this one if you ask him.

Is this the same as the indonesian oreo update? I've been looking for that one and I can't find it.

I just got my hands on my H930DS international unlocked version. It got a couple of software updates and now it runs Oreo with software version V20d-SEA-XX. So do I follow the mentioned steps for the UPGRADE method ? Because I would prefer not having to go through a wipe and then having to reinstall all my apps and setting my OS. A little detailed instructions for what I must be doing to just successfully flash the Philippines ROM is what I need . Thanks a bunch in advance.
Hi,
I read different information regarding the Pie update of European models. I heard that that it is cancelled in US except of Verizon. But how does it look like with unlocked EU phones? Will we get the update or not? Does anybody know.
The promise to get Pie update was one of the reasons why I bought the phone. Now I feel tricked if we won't get it (and I assume it is the case).
I could get an unofficial update but then I'll loose Google Pay, my bank applications will not work anymore etc. Unlocking the bootloader is not an option for me.
But unlocking bootloader is the only one option for ATT users.

Nothing on my Koodo V30.
Nice....but I'm flashed to 998 to get root.
Would be nice to be able to run the 933 rom with root. I do know of the guide for getting the 933 modem running under 998 rom was waiting for pie before giving it a shot but I'll wait for someone to confirm it works with pie.

There are TWRP flashable zips for H933. You can have root on H933 firmware, just like you can have root on AT&T H931firmware, Verizon VS996 firmware, Sprint LS998 firmware.
You have to temporarily convert to US998, but if you really want you can use the TWRP-flashable zips.
It's just for H933, it's a little harder. You can't just flash straight from US998 to H933 TWRP flashable zip. There are steps in between.

wow....so yeah I clearly didn't look around. I saw the thread for installing a H993 modem and it had a lot of steps and at the time wasn't polished yet. I haven't been pay much attention to xda and that's more due to being pretty happy with the V30. Only thing that bugged me was the loss of VoLTE and WiFi calling but I got kind of used to it and didn't want to screw around too much. But would really love to get those features backs.
So once a TWRP flashable zip exists for the H933, I should be able to follow the steps to retain root and get on H933 firmware? I'll probably wait until Anxious magisk module is compatible with Pie. (Well I just went to that thread and saw its gone....that's unfortunate)
Thanks for the heads up ChazzMatt
