For bootloader unlock purposes, use the US998 KDZ versions with pre-July 2018 security patch: I recommend 20a or 20b.
Look at the names for dates in the title. You can always update to newer firmware later, AFTER bootloader is unlocked. Flashing a newer KDZ will not relock your bootloader. See bottom of post for instructions on how to downgrade to earlier firmware.

ONLY USE MAGISK 18.X ON OREO TWRP-FLASHABLE ZIPS!
If you are installing/updating latest US998 firmware for the first time after bootloader unlock/root, you should flash 20e zip (below), then 20f zip, 20g zip, 20h zip back-to-back in TWRP, then flash Magisk. If you go straight to 20h via TWRP-flashable zip from very early Oreo, you will most likely have problems. There were massive changes starting with US998 20f and you need the prior 20e as foundation before going on to 20h. You should also do this if coming from a custom ROM.
JohnFawkes said:
Also flashing magisk in between each and rebooting in between each is not needed. You can add all (zips) to the queue and flash at once then flash magisk and then reboot. Tested this method with the us998 zips and works just fine

Flash the "ROM" with latest TWRP, after wiping caches. Reflash Magisk immediately afterwards, before rebooting to system. It's just stock KDZ but in TWRP-flashable version. Not debloated nor meant to be updated in the future. It's just a very convenient mechanism to have newer stock firmware instead of using dev patched LGUP to flash partitions, etc. Go to this thread and thank him.
Screenshots below are for previous firmware and only demonstrate how to upgrade full KDZ using LGUP.

HOW TO (temporarily) DOWNGRADE BACK TO OREO FOR BOOTLOADER UNLOCK
(or DOWNGRADE BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE PIE)
1) DOWNLOAD FIRMWARE AND DEV PATCHED LGUP
* Download Oreo KDZ you wish to install -- for bootloader unlock would be US998 20a or 20b. You can update to more current firmware AFTER unlocking bootloader on early Oreo.
(If you just don't like Pie, then choose the most recent Oreo KDZ, which is US998 20h at the top.)
* 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) or REFURBISH
----------------------------
3) DOWNGRADING/UPGRADING ANY LG V30/V30+/V30S TO 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.
WARNING: In LGUP do NOT go messing with modes not mentioned in these instructions. Especially do NOT use Chip Erase.
https://9to5lg.com/lgup-1-15-manual-how-to-unbrick-restore-your-lg-devices-with-lgup/
3) ChipErase: Dangerous, This will erase IMEI/efs, Do not try this if you do not have a NV backup.

We now have two working download links -- Android File Hosts and Codefire. I'll add the LG Bridge server link when it becomes available. Now I have to actually flash it myself!
DONE. See screenshots.
Thanks for this. So what all do we need to do in order to root again after upgrading? I assume this wipes everything, correct? So do we need to re-flash the new TWRP after we upgrade, then format data and flash the no verity script again, then install magisk? Or is the format data and flash no verity not needed if we've already done that on Nougat? I'm pretty new to using KDZs.

EDIT: changing this answer based on people's experiences.
Yes, you will lose root and custom TWRP recovery. You'll have flash/reinstall those. Be sure to use the Oreo compatible TWRP 3.2.1:

Yes, I updated my still-bootloader locked US998 V30+ immediately. I'll do my bootloader unlocked, rooted US998 V30 later...
I just relock bootloader before flashing. But now i have warning "your device has failed a routine safety check and will not boot" and does not even get into bootloader mode. Do you have any idea?

See this thread for the V20 but you need KDZ for the V30.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/restore-v20-to-100-stock-bricked-devices-t3524903
You should still be able to use Oreo KDZ and LGUP, I would think.

EDIT:
After further discussion, I've removed instructions to re-lock the bootloader as people have successfully upgraded without doing that.

I just know if you don't relock the bootloader you have problems then relocking it after flashing the update.

I dont know how but i could enter bootloader finally. I just unlocked again. I guess problem was that i was on custom rom with TWRP. now first, flashing 10d kdz, and then relock and then i will flash oreo.
Deleting this post as information has changed. Do NOT re-lock the bootloader.
ChazzMatt said:
Very important question! Make sure you relock the bootloader first before flashing this KDZ update. Then, you will need your unlock.bin file again, which LG sent you. You will unlock the bootloader again, after you install the Oreo KDZ.
Then root and install TWRP like you did before.
If you flash this KDZ upgrade without relocking the bootloader, you will be stuck in a no-man's land where you will be told you need to unlock the bootloader but another place (Developer Options) will tell you it's already unlocked.

You just had unlocked bootloader and root, no custom ROM?
I'm updating my other phone with unlocked bootloader tomorrow.
Hey here we go let's toss a coin heads we relock the bootloader tails we don't and see what happens LOL
All I know is I updated a couple times with the kdz so far and never relocked, but that was just nougat to nougat. Wasn't sure if it was different for nougat to Oreo.

These are for the H815 variant only. Files are from software version 20A (Android 6.0 Marshmallow).
Included below: TWRP-flashable stock rom, boot, modem and bootloader zips. KDZ and individual images are also included.
*There is NO anti-rollback qfuse used in this update... you can downgrade using LGUP HERE. You can also use LGUP to flash the 20A KDZ.
Please do not mirror my files!
20A NOTES...
1. Notifications may not work with all apps. To check for possible missed notifications go to Settings, battery/energy saving, battery consumption, ignore optimization.
2.Knock code has been removed but will return in a future update.
Requirements:
You must have TWRP 2.8.7+ installed to use these files. Thanks to Dees_Troy as always for that. And, of course, you must have your bootloader unlocked for TWRP to work. Currently only H815 EU and SEA variants have official unlock through LG's unlock page HERE. Please do not ask if "model x" is supported... did you unlock via LG's official unlock tool? Yes? then you can use it. No? then you can't. If you have a locked bootloader and want to ignore all warnings and try to flash anyway... HERE is the thread for that (enjoy no root). How's the saying go.. imitation is the sincerest form of flattery? :silly:
Super Duper Safe Install Directions:
Some bootloader unlocked users have had various issues. Despite these users being in the minority I have decided to write up a step by step tutorial to follow.
1. Download the modem, bootloader and system zips listed under the download section and place them on internal or external sdcard.
2. Download 20A repacked boot.img HERE or HERE and place on internal or external sdcard.
3. Download latest SuperSu zip HERE and place on internal or external sdcard.
4. (re)Boot into TWRP
5. Backup current partitions: boot, system, data, efs
6. Install the modem, system and repacked boot.img (no bootloader/supersu yet) (install button > select zip > press "add more zips" > select other zip > repeat)
7. After all 3 zips finish flashing hit the Home button > Reboot button > recovery button to reboot recovery. (if TWRP asks if you want to install SU, NO!)
8. After rebooting into TWRP install bootloader and supersu zips.
9. After both zips finish you're all set to boot into a rooted M. Enjoy.
Notes...
The reason for the above order of operations... some people who flashed this but didn't root were losing TWRP due to the "recovery-from-boot.p" file in stock system which rebuilds stock recovery. By flashing the repacked boot.img and supersu it should rename the "recovery-from-boot.p" file to "recovery-from-boot.p.bak" and not error due to the repacked boot.img... which makes sure TWRP isn't removed. The reason for flashing bootloader last (after rebooting recovery) is because some ran into issues during the flash process and if getting stuck AFTER flashing bootloader causes issues flashing KDZ using LG Flash Tool 2014... so this route makes sure all other files are flashed first before locking yourself out of KDZ flashes. YES you can downgrade still.. but only through TWRP or using root.
Downloads:

100% stock untouched system. MD5 = 9ac1f01eb4affc5712fdfa9b64b709d6

This is a flashable stock 20A boot.img. Boot.img contains kernel + dtb + ramdisk.
LG-H81520A-Flashable.Bootloader.zip
This is a flashable stock 20A bootloader. It contains aboot, factory, hyp, laf, pmic, raw_resources, rpm, sbl1, sdi, sec and tz. Do NOT wipe system before flashing this zip. Zip checks model before flashing.
Also, KDZ + all stock images for 20A are available here.
CODEFIRE DIRECTORY
Downgrade:
If you decide M is lame and want to go back to Lollipop I wouldn't blame you. Currently 20A is in a "late-beta" stage with options missing like Knock Code and the ability to merge sdcard with data. The only gains seem to be Doze, updated Google Now, the ability to choose which permissions apps have access to... and your About Phone settings now saying Android 6.0. To downgrade:
1. Download Lollipop flashable Modem and Bootloader zips. 10D/E HERE... 10B/C HERE.. 10A HERE and put them on your internal or external sdcard.
2. (re)Boot into TWRP.
3. Restore your previous backup (boot, system, data)
4. After restore has finished hit the Home button.
5. Install the modem and bootloader zips.
6. Should be enough to get you back to Lollipop.
OR
Use LGUP HERE to flash a previous KDZ version.

Currently only H815 EU and (some) SEA variants have official unlock through LG's unlock page HERE. Please do not ask if "model x" is supported... did you unlock via LG's official unlock tool? Yes? then you can use the zip. No?.. then you should skip the zips and just flash the KDZ instead.
If you have a locked bootloader and want to upgrade... just use LGUP and flash the KDZ. Don't risk it with FlashFire.
Install Directions:
These directions should be used by everyone who wants a rooted 20D system.
Don't want root? Then it's probably easiest to just flash the stock KDZ using LGUP HERE... or just skip the SuperSu steps.
1. Download LG-H81520D-Flashable.COMPLETE.zip listed under the download section and place it on internal or external sdcard.
2. Also download the latest SuperSu zip (2.67+) from HERE [Thanks to Chainfire for his auto-patching boot.img version!]
3. (re)Boot into TWRP if not there already.
4.* Backup current partitions: boot, system, data, efs (backing up anything is optional but suggested)
5.* Up to you if you want to wipe data (TWRP > Wipe > Swipe slider) but not needed if coming from a stock rom.
6. Install LG-H81520D-Flashable.COMPLETE.zip (Install > select zip > swipe to confirm/flash)
7. Install SuperSu zip (Install > select zip > swipe to confirm/flash)
8. After zips finish flashing you can reboot! (if TWRP asks if you want to install SU, HIT NO!!!)
Please do not mirror my files!

Downgrade:
To downgrade you can use TWRP to restore your backups... and then just flash the matching bootloader zip and modem zip from my previous threads... or just check the CODEFIRE DIRECTORY link for previous stock files.
OR
Use LGUP HERE to flash a previous KDZ version. KDZ will remove TWRP but easy enough to reinstall that.
Unofficial Bootloader Unlock:
Don't have official bootloader unlock? This guy claims to have a working method HERE...

Q&A:
Q:
Paolo83 said:
@autoprime a question: I flashed the "complete zip" over 20C. it is all ok but the /cust partition has remained that of 20C. Is it a problem? I'm going to delete all file and directory in /cust. Anyway in "settings-->phone info--->software" it show 20D!
I'm thinking to download the KDZ and extract the /cust and copy it with "es gestore file". Is It useless? Is it good for something ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
A: @Paolo83 If it says 20D in settings then you're fine. What makes you think it's the 20C cust anyway?
The dates of the files inside the cust partition should be Jan 15th. It's possible cust from 20C is the same in 20D. I never touched the 20C files and have included the 20D cust in the COMPLETE zip. But yes, you could always just delete the cust partition as well.
Q:
TonyStark said:
@autoprime this occurred after use of 20d KDZ, going from 20b TWN
This happened while selecting "Upgrade" in LGUP
Is this methd ONLY for Sprint variations, or is this sop for all versions
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
A: @TonyStark Seems LG went out of their way this time to annoy the other variants 20D wasn't released for. Not abnormal tho... and fortunately shouldn't mess with the user experience other than the popup after boot up. The cust partition has a "whitelisted" set of mcc/mnc combos it looks for and if your device isn't on that list it'll throw up that warning message. Without root there's not much one can do.
As for the Sprint method you mentioned... it's sorta specific for Sprints model. H815 and other international models have no issues downgrading via LGUP and any KDZ. Sprint also had some weirdness because people were using to using older DLL's and the older LG Flash method which stopped working once the move to M 6.0 was made... so had to redirect users to start considering LGUP instead. But with every international (Non-USA) model... LGUP + any KDZ should be no problem... tho when downgrading a factory reset/data wipe will probably be needed... when upgrading it's optional.

I've seen some user on HtcMania who recived v20e via LG Bridge. I don't know if is a trust source..
Click to expand...

A: 20E is real.. but it was built Jan 16th.. a day after 20D. It's the exact same thing as 20D but for Orange and possibly other EU carriers. Modem build is the same as 20D. Google Security Patch version is also the same: Jan 2016. I see no reason to use 20E over 20D unless you're an Orange user who can grab this directly from LG Bridge.

If you got stuck with long dl time.. (mine was hammering on 9-12h.)
Just cancel and start a new dl.. (i'm down to 15min now)
thank you! it works very well! I flashed the first zip file ("COMPLETE") over V20C. I only wiped cache and davilk. I flashed the complete zip and supersu. It is all ok!
Ok. I have this question (might be stupid, but still) - I have a G4, unlocked bootloader and rooted. If I flash these files over, is the new bootloader going to be unlocked as well, or it will bring the phone to stock variant? I am asking this, because I had some minor issues with the phone and I want to change it in the store, but if they see the unlocked bootloader, my warranty will not be valid.

You sure didn't.
There's no mention on flashing bootloader and modem.
The complete rom already has that as stated.
It only says to flash complete rom and supersu for those who want root, and for those who don't just use kdz file.
Read again.
Flashing now, will update in a minute.
Edit1 : flash was a bit slow (to be expected) but first boot was rather quick, just waiting for "android is upgrading" to complete now.
Edit2: up and running, root working fine.

______________________
* If you are bootloader unlocked, have TWRP installed and are rooted, then use the TWRP-flashable zip above to update to latest KDZ.
* If you are not bootloader unlocked and rooted, and do not wish to be rooted at this time, simply choose UPGRADE on LGUP to update to latest KDZ.
* If you wish to root, keep reading...
For rooting purposes, you have to temporarily convert U.S. T-Mobile H932 to to Nougat. See this thread by @runningnak3d for rooting the T-mobile H932. You can always update to newer U.S. T-Mobile H932 firmware later (from this thread, like TWRP-flashable ROM), AFTER bootloader is unlocked and TWRP is installed. In fact, you SHOULD update. But, go to that thread for U.S. T-mobile H932 root.
Here's how to flash KDZ:

----------------------------
DOWNGRADING ANY LG V30/V30+/V30S TO EARLIER KDZ FIRMWARE INCLUDING NOUGAT
1) Go into download mode (power off completely, then hold volume up button while plugging in USB cable)
2) open patched LGUP and flash earlier KDZ to DL PARTITION. In the pop up box "Select All". Use the attached patched LGUP in this post.
3) 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.

4) DONE.
Here's how to install Dev Patched LGUP:
1) Download and install REGULAR LGUP and then go the LGUP folder on C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP and replace the "normal" files with the Dev Patched files (attached to this post).
Install LG Drivers.
REBOOT THE COMPUTER.
2) Alternatively, you can create the folder yourself and just place the Dev Patched LGUP files there.

(IMPORTANT YOU INSTALL DEV PATCHED LGUP IN THE RIGHT PLACE. The dev patched LGUP needs to go where regular LGUP is normally installed, so it will run correctly.)
Install LG Drivers.
REBOOT THE COMPUTER.
However, some people report better success installing "regular" LGUP first.
It's fairly easy. Most people breeze right through this. But if you have any problems, go through this list:
Make sure you are 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.
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.

Thank you in advance. I can't believe how much bloat gets shoved onto Android these days. I prefer things to be leaner and cleaner to be honest.
So I went the flashable zip route. Unfortunately, something got messed up. It seemed to have erased everything and removed the OS. Couldn't boot into anything, couldn't mount system, cache, etc. Eventually, I got into TWRP again and tried flashing an older stock zip. Now the only thing it tells me it can't mount is '/persist-lg'. And the phone just boot loops when trying to reboot. Looking around the internet, even though it's for a different device, people say that the stock ROM should have persist file in it and to extract it and use fastboot to install it. I'm downloading the kdz files to see if I can get that out of it but the downloads are taking way too long. Can someone who has the file already maybe pull that from the kdz and upload it? I would be forever grateful.
I downloaded the kdz file but I don't know how to extract anything out of it.
@ChazzMatt, you're always in here helping people. Any ideas?
So if I use the KDZ file and LGUP, is there a way to choose what to flash and what not to flash? I'm currently stuck in TWRP recovery mode and nothing seems to be flashing as explained in my previous post. I already have my bootloader unlocked and was rooted. I want to get my phone to boot again but I don't want to loose TWRP or root.

Yes -- unless you are one of the T-Mobile H932 users who have TWRP on LAFF partition as well as Recovery partition.
If you have TWRP on LAFF, you no longer have Download mode and can't use LGUP.
If you only have TWRP on Recovery partition, then the normal procedure would be go into Download mode and use LGUP to flash the KDZ. UNcheck the recovery partitions in the DL PARTITION options. Flash the KDZ, and then boot to TWRP (which should remain) via hardware button dance.
But you're having to basically root again. You also have to have to flash the initial three files again: no root check, no encryption, and Magisk.
I would wait for @JohnFawkes fix.

I did flash TWRP on laf before. But for some reason, it never seems to stick. So I do have download mode now. Doesn't LGUP automatically reboot the device when it's done? And if the device boots, it overwrites TWRP? Would I just have to watch it and do the button dance right when it powers off? That's kinda what I'm worried about.
But I will wait and see if there's a fix first. LGUP will be my last resort. It's just hard to be patient when I have a phone that won't boot. lol
Running this build since last weekend and is fire.
I can confirm performance(like RAM management) and smoothness are improved, the overlaping notifications is fixed as well and even LG's terrible gesture navigation implementation seems refined (I recommend using FluidNG to have back gestures as a complement). Battery is fine tho

2. Cut the extracted folder to V30+\Internal Memory\TWRP\BACKUPS\LGH930XXXXXXX folder, which store TWRP's backups.
3. Reboot device in TWRP and restore 2019-09-09--PieV30q_PKQ1190414001 backup, all partitions are fine and will not mess your IMEI/carrier signal.
4. This backup is already pre-rooted(just in boot.img so you have to reflash Magisk after wiping data), dmverity-encryption off and rct disabled. A full wipe is recommended.
5. Reboot to system and that's it, you are running latest and finest stock Pie :good:

Is indian jio volte working on twrp method?
Just a reminder: You cannot use a OTA file if TWRP is installed, the bootloader can be unlocked, but you must have stock recovery for this to work. Refurbishing V30b is advisable.

Hey thanks for the procedure.
can you please make a system dump? It'll be useful for los16 with pie blob development?
Congrats to the five V30 users who will get this update.
Can I flash .kdz file with "Upgrade" (NOT Refurbish) option without losing any data? Cause I can't begin an update (the FOTA EASY UPGRADE shows for few seconds and disappearing with no results). Of course I'm working with V30b-EUR-XX version.
error comes out "windows cannot find WPDAPI.exe make sure you typed the name correctly, and try again" and press ok then new error comes out "0x2000, fail. mtp is not running." I can't update, please help me.

You'll be able to when KDZ is released.
This is for people who want to run leaked, beta -- possibly buggy -- firmware. Yes, some people want that. If your wish to experiment, then that's fine as long as you realize it's not necessary to get this update...
When it's ready LG will release it officially and there will be full image KDZ available in the KDZ thread, as well as TWRP flashable zip made by an XDA Dev.

Buggy or not. I'm already using 30b. I have a chance to do it and I want to. Don't write me if you won't help me.

You can flash H930v30b via upgrade, yes. Then send the OTA via LGUP.
Are you rooted?

WPDAPI.exe is a file provided in LGUP zip in OP, you have to patch the files in LGUP directory for this to work.

1) I'll write what I want in reply to anyone I want. It's not just for you, it's cautionary tale for anyone. Just make sure you know the risks.
2) EU H930 V30b has long been official. There's a full image KDZ and XDA Dev made TWRP flashable zip in MY KDZ thread -- so your statement makes no sense.
So what if you're running official publicly released firmware? What you're now trying to install is not officially public release firmware (yet, and no absolute guarantees it will be).

I used V30b by KDZ install and it was as buggy as the v30b OTA that I had used for a while too.
This V30q it's a huge improvement over the old version and I can say it with sure, because I have tested all these.
BTW, it's not beta anymore(is in internal test phase), they are just delaying the release with bussiness bureaucracy.

Please don't try using OTA if you're rooted.
If you are already on PIE V30B rooted you have to Backup you data, Restore the provided TWRP v30q BACKUP, then RESTORE your data and root. Latest version and all your data intact.

U welcome, bro
LG V30 US998-30b ROMHi!
This Rom is 99% Stock. 3.2.3-7 TWRP should first be installed. Then you can install this Rom and have Pie with working TWRP.
WARNINGS!!!!!
Only for North American variants -- EXCEPT T-mobile H932. NOT for H930, H930G, H930D, H930DS!
This zip is created from the original KDZ. It contains almost the complete 30b firmware, but the partition table rewriting part and recovery image is removed. I changed the system.img, so you do not have to reinstall TWRP (recovery-from-boot.p deleted) when ROM is booted. I also changed the partition size of system.img, so the vendorized people can install this too without having problems because of a too small system partition. This is a continuation of westwood24's idea and work, I've updated it to the newest fw version and edited / advanced it a bit. I followed his idea and made this for users who can not take OTA's because they have Custom Recovery / Root installed.
Features
Stock build made from official KDZ
Stock Build.prop (only 2 extra lines added for DTS, full weather lockscreen)
Unrooted
System image modified to keep TWRP
System image size shrunk for being able to flash this on a smaller system partition, mainly caused by vendorizing
Removed dm-verity
Removed rctd (LG's root checker tool daemon)
Enabled opt-encrypt, it's your choice now if you want to encrypt your phone, it's no more forced. TWRP now is capable of decryption (both AOSP and stock) since a few versions
Installation
What you need
Unlocked Bootloader [How to do]
Working TWRP installed (should be installed already, otherwise you wouldn't need this zip )[Link to newest unofficial TWRP]
When you need Root, Latest Magisk [Download]
LATEST ZIP
john-fawkes.com US99830b.zip [Click to Download]
OLDER ZIPS
AFH ZIPS [Download]
John-fawkes.com [Download]
How to install
When you are still on Nougat,
you should start fresh: Reboot to recovery using button combo or reboot app (needs root; btw, Magisk offers this possibility too: Menu -> Modules -> three dot menu top right - Reboot to recovery)
Then flash this TWRP.img via image flashing function in TWRP, reboot to recovery again (for fully working new recovery) and do a backup, then copy this backup to your PC.
Then initiate a factory reset. Wipe your system partition too in TWRP advanced wiping menu, copy the 30b firmware zip to your SD and install it. Reboot and enjoy
From Oreo:
For clean install: Factory reset and wipe system
You can also keep your data by simply dirty flashing the zip. *Be aware that problems may occur, maybe you need to do a factory reset to start fresh*
Flash the 30b zip, then Magisk zip when you need root, then reboot to System = you're DONE
P.S.: could be, that you first need to boot up your fresh install and set it up before you can flash magisk.
At the first time you boot to system, it can be TWRP says No OS installed. You can ignore it.
If TWRP asks if you want to install SU, hit no (in newest TWRP SU is disabled, and the option to install the TWRP app is disabled too.)
Rom Version
Android Version: 9.0 Pie
Android security patch level: 2019-09-1
Don´t forget to hit the thanks-button if you like this zip! :good:
You want to help me with a [donation?] Not asking for it, I have fun doing this for you, but feel free...

The first part of "How to install" in the OP describes a clean flash. It's wiping the phone clean.
