Download and Install LG V30 / LG V30+ Android 9.0 Pie Update [Verizon rolled VS99630c]

The South Korean Multinational Electronics company LG offers great products but doesn’t provide software updates to its smartphones from so many years. They’re lacking behind in terms of the faster updates or consistency. The LG V30, V35, and V40 devices were expected to receive the Android Pie update by June this year but LG couldn’t make it possible. Now, the leaks are coming out that LG V30 Android 9.0 Pie early beta has leaked out.

While we’re approaching towards the Android Q updates and in a coming few months Google will announce the official stable Android Q version as well. Meanwhile, some of the devices are still waiting to get the Android Pie update as a beta and via batches. As we mentioned earlier that LG was promised that they will deliver the Pie update to the LG V30, LG V35, and LG V40 by June. Now, half of the July month already gone and there is no official announcement yet by the company.

LG V30 Android 9.0 Pie Early Beta

Same happens with the European LG G6 (H870) device model which had received the Android Pie beta update leaked a few days ago. It means that the build isn’t ready for release as a beta for now due to bugs or system crashes. It will take some time obviously. Thanks to one of the XDA Members hsrose11 who has created the source thread for the leaked build in XDA’s LG V30 forum.

LG V30 Android 9.0 Pie early beta has leaked out with an OTA update but don’t have a full firmware. Therefore, you may have to install and setup the LGUP_Common_DLL_Ver_1_0_28_5.msi file. So, that LGUP tool doesn’t fail during the flashing process. Otherwise, it may show an error message with the “Error 0x2000, Fail!. MTP is not running” possibly. This beta build is working for mentioned LG V30 devices models like H933, H930DS, H930G, H930D, H930, V300L, V300S, and V300K. Thanks to the @PilyTam for sharing the firmware file.

We have provided the full guide with download link below. Check it out.
