When you open the >firmware page< and select your region and then your firmware version, there is a short instruction.

Correction: I want to flash the U.S firmware (w/U.S lte bands) onto my international version. No PC access so I want to use KINGROOT!

If they differ in hardware, don't even try.

They are the same.

In general, US versions have support for different radio bands than the international versions. If you upload the US firmware to the international version, you may lose not only gsm radio support, but also WiFi.
Try looking for a method to activate the US band in the current firmware. This is the only safe method.

Once again thank you for the your help! But as you might know they're saying this phone will be no good after Verizon shuts down it's 3G.I already switched from AT&T to Verizon earlier this year. I was told I can just do what I was asking but if you know of any way possible I can save my phone? I know it needs band 14 for AT&T. I already did the apn thing but it's not enough. They still read it as 3G. This phone has extreme sentimental value to me.

Ask Verizon if you can use voWiFi with this phone.

Does anyone know how to activate the US bands within my current firmware?

It is impossible to make something out of nothing.
The equipment is incompatible and you already know that.

Thanks I really appreciate you!

OK what I mean is can it be done successfully (porting, etc.)? I want the wifi tethering (aka hotspot) feature that exist on all international variants of the phones, not locked by the stupid US carriers trying to rip-off it's customers by making you pay again for the same data you already purchased.

Do you have Att though? I think he's referring to using the att model on another network like I am doing as well. I'm using on tmobile and some users report, after having to edit system configs to be able to even turn on hotspot without an error, that they don't have any data once connected.

Hello Guys,
I can't see how could be possible to download a "Porto Rico" (H820PR) software in ATT version.
Normally, Bootloader checks if region code matches before flash.
Could you please explain more about this procedure?
Thanks for supporting our community!

Its not more of the bootloader, but Antirollback. This works perfectly on older LG's like the G2, G3, G Pro, etc.

Has anyone been able to get WiFi calling or VOLTE to work on the U firmware? I haven't been on it in a while.
Edit: not sure why i quoted you for this question. Lol sorry.
I have been trying to get it working as well. I wish that att would support wifi calling like T-Mobile does I only get 1-2 bars and sometimes no signal when I'm at a certain spot in my workplace and when I had the original att software on my phone I loved wifi calling, I don't particularly miss VOLTE though
Thank you so much for doing this. I was using the wrong Odin to flash.
Quick question on this. Now that I am running the U firmware, will I get OTA updates? I'm using a Cricket sim card.
I hated the AT&T firmware so much. I'm so much happier with this.

Need to flash T-Mobile firmware in order for at least wifi calling to work.
after flashing this firmware.. I noticed a huge gain in performance.
and mobile hotspot works, I run cricket unlimited, and will come in handy.
I like the clean appearance and the smooth responsiveness, I used the AT&T firmware and I used PDP to disable a ****load of bloat, but nothing like this smooth.
not to mention I'm getting updates, which I'm more happy about.
this is really nice to have.
Had anyone tried this and used on rogers?
loganbeck14 said:
To begin make sure you have samsung usb drivers installed. Now make sure you use Princecomsys modified odin, next download the latest U Firmware from here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634768085 or here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767159704. Next put your phone in download mode and open odin make sure all firmware files are in the right spot and click start wait until your phone boots into recovery mode and restarts, after that to clean up old temp files factory reset in recovery when your phone boots to the welcome screen, after that you are finished. THIS is For att and tmobile phones only unless your verizon phone is using one of the two carriers sprint won't work due to proprietary activation processes. Thanks to Princecomsy and muniz for providing odin and the firmware files for this version

As long as you had att unlock the phone you are fine
I bought it "factory unlocked" so I'm not sure who did it. What would happen if att didn't unlock it?
Please help me understand
I see some forums on this site that says, " G930UUEU2APEH flashes to g930a" then you have this post that says G930U firmware on SM-G930A. It seems as if one is saying to take the G930U and go to G930A and the other saying G930A and go to G930U. I thought the advantage is to go to the U and get off the A. Please confirm if this is the case. Granted then if this is the case... then, what are the advantages of going to the U? From what I understand it gets rid of the bloatware, and makes it so you can tether?
Also once I go, are there any negative reasons for me not to go from A to U?
Does this give me the current version of Nougat?
Do I get the upgrades from AT&T to keep up with future version of Nougat?
Also before proceeding to the U version MUST I first ROOT my phone?
Also MUST my phone be UNLOCKED?
Thanks in advance,
DavyCrockett said:

Yes to both

None, unless you like the ATT bloat.

Gives you the latest version of the U firmware
Do I get the upgrades from AT&T to keep up with future version of Nougat?
No, you will get the U OTAs from now on.

H930DS and TMobile(mintsim)

I just got this model of V30+ but didn't know TMobile LTE would not work on it until after I paid. Just didn't read it good enough I guess.
Just wondering if I will still be able to get 4G Data on the phone using TMobile(mintsim) or at least HSPA+ or if its possible to make LTE work on it.
If you flash that to H930G, you'll get s few more U.S. carrier LTE bands. Not all but more.

I haven't got then phone, it's for my friend in the US, she really wants the Raspberry Rose variant, and on Hong Kong firmware only 1/4 4G bands are supported, however if flashing the European firmware means she gets 3/4 bands that's a lot better and I can tell her she'll be okay to get it

Yea I have 2 Sims. Just got the mintsim prepaid for a year witch uses T-Mobile that I was going to use with my essential but that had a fried board in it I think. Artifacting and crashing constantly. Now I just plan to use both Sims in the dual SIM phone for some extra monthly data since I already have both prepaid service Sims.
So if I were to attempt to flash the euro Rom on my hk v30 would it just be a normal flashing process? Require boot loader unlocking? Is there any detailed outline of the process posted up?
alright thanks the information I read through a good deal of the thread at least to where they claimed it was adding support for more us bands.
One other question. After flashing this will I then still be able to receive ota updates and will it be safe to install them?
It's. A brand new phone I just don't want to take any unnecessary risks. But also of course want to be able to get full service. Don't want to have to sell it off to get another one or anything.
Thanks again.
You do not have to worry about Root or Bootloader unlock when flashing the EU-Oreo, it should be safe. I have my doubts with 4G on T-Mobile's bands though, read this thread first: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/help/lg-v30-unlocked-h930ds-doesnt-t-mobile-t3734810
One should note though that all comments were made prior to the possibility of flashing the EU-Oreo. I cannot test it with a T-Mobile SIM anymore (last post in this thread is from me) but my AT&T SIM gives me more 4G bands than it used to.
Ok I'm still waiting to receive the phone to test it myself. Obviously going to check it out stock first. According to the frequency check site it supports 2/5 bands for T-Mobile and metropcs. But doesn't support the protocol supposedly. I guess I'll see. I have both at&-t and T-Mobile Sims to test.

The frequency check site has been wrong before. I am not talking specifically about this situation. I've not investigated the H930DS and T-mobile, but in another thread about another V30 it was like they didn't even know the LTE bands AT&T currently uses. Seemed outdated information like, 4 years out of date.
Ok i got the phone today and only getting edge connection.
The phone i received is the india version h930ds. Will this make any difference when flashing the eu oreo firmware?
Also for flashing i am assuming i just need to download the eu open market firmware put the phone into download mode and load lgup via uppercut?
One other question does it matter if my phone is fully updated or not with the current india firmware?
Thanks.
Going to take me several hours to download on my internet connection so just waiting on it to finish now and trying to get as much information as possible in the meantime.

No, it doesn't matter which DS variant you are flashing from.
No, you don't need current India firmware since you'll be switching to Europe KDZ.
See the Euro KDZ thread for instructions.
Im sorry i don't see any flashing instructions. Just an outline of different methods such as uppercut or using model specific files or development lgup. Dont mean to be a pain just want to verify im doing everything right before i try. I did something like this on my g6 as well and the procedure was.
Put the into download mode
Launch lgup using uppercut
Select the kdz to flash
Not sure on this whether to set it to upgrade or refurbish? I think refurbish just wipes all user data like a factory reset?
Thanks.

Most people used upgrade. Try that first.
You can always reflash with refurbish if you don't like the result.

Ok thanks for the information. Its a brand new phone so i don't want to take the chance of doing something wrong but at the same time i have 12months of prepaid 4g LTE service that i would like to fully utilize.
Yeah ok. Finally finished and flashed this morning. Made absolutely no difference and actually broke dual sim support for me.
Do i have any other options?

Flash a G965U from Verizon to a G965U1, or 965U T-Mobile?

I ordered an unlocked model, G965U1 from eBay, but the seller sent me a G965U Verizon. At least that's the firmware that it has on it. I'm familiar with Odin and everything, so I'm wondering if I should keep it and just flash it over to what I want. Is this a viable option, I already had to send back a OnePlus 6T back to OnePlus, so I'm getting kind of tired of sending phones back.
Will the phone be just as good as what I ordered if I flash a different firmware on it, radio band-wise and such?The phone says I do not have a Verizon sim in it but I seem to be getting service from my T-Mobile sim.... Is this because all Verizon phones come unlocked? Sorry I'm just so confused with a different models and different bootloaders and different firmwares, so any advice would be appreciated!
Issue resolved, big thanks to user @jcsww!
I'm having similar crisis, can you tell me the steps u did? I have downloaded Odin and the Tmobile firmware that I've yet to flash. I want to do a backup first but cannot find a TWRP for G965U, guess ill just create a backup on stock?

What firmware does the phone have, from what US carrier? I I think the only thing you can try is flashing different firmwares to see if it will work. Maybe try converting it to a U S. factory unlocked G965U1, then the phone will reboot to configure the settings and features according to your sim card. No guarantee with this kind of thing tho.

You could try switching to the firmware for unlocked model G965U1, latest is 3ARJ6. No guarantee that it will make volte work though, that kind of thing is definitely hit and miss, and your phone is ideally suited for American carriers. But that's what I would try. You might also want to call up your service provider and see if they can do anything.

I flashed my Verizon G965U to G965U1. I used the patched Odin and used the CSC from the U1 firmware... My phone flashed and wiped, and then it booted up and detected my SIM card, then it rebooted again to configure all the settings based on my SIM card. After I did that I was getting the U1 updates directly to the phone.

Not possible, the U series phones use a snapdragon processor and the F models use the Exynos. They arent cross compatible. Just flash the U1 for your phone

Thank you, I have the same scenario, SM-965U (unlocked with Verizon) on a different country.
Any particular ROM you could recommend? or website to get it from? I am on firmware PPR1.180610.011.G965USQS4CSC8
Appreciate it.

no problem, and while its not what is traditionally called a "ROM" per say, the 965U can comfortably run on this firmware https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/g...SM-G965U1/TMK/download/G965U1UEU6CSH7/294847/
download it with the samfirm or frija tools

disregard what forum channel the tools are in, they arent for a specific phone model
I meant firmware, but you got me.
Thank you, I'll try that one.

Unfortunately after installing that firmware I got the Shut Down after locking with fingerprint issue (documented here among other sites: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/help/reboots-shutdowns-fingerprint-scanner-t3856346).
It happened after it got updated to PPR1.180610.011.G965U1UEU6CSI1.
So I'll try to flash a different firmware... :crying:
