I have a T-mobile Note 4 that I use on Cricket/ATT but i have a few questions on what this means:
1. Some one else sim unlocked and rooted the phone so i do not have the unlock code
a. Is there any thing i can do that would some how re lock the phone (ie kies "Emergency firmware recovery" or " firmware upgrade and initialization")
i. i am currently having problems (Issue) But i am worried to do this for fear of re-locking the sim to t-mobile
2. will my phone get Os upgrades (ie Lollypop is coming) if i return it to stock and do not root it how would it get updates? OTA, KIES, Odin, ...
a. does it matter that it is not on the t-mobile network?
3. Is there any features lost by having a t-mobile phone on another carrier?
I'd look at some of these threads:

1a.)You don't want the phone relocked trust me
1.i)You need to Odin Flash back to stock. It will fix the finger print lag issue. Search the General section or the Q&A section for the thread on how do to this. Also look for the CF auto root thread. To re-root your phone when u are done.
2.) You will not get the OTA if you are on AT&T, but you can just Odin flash the update once it is available, or I would just wait for a lollipop ROM to flash.
3.) You can't use the tmobile WiFi calling app or visual voicemail app that come pre-installed on the phone. But with a Google Voice number, you can get both of those features in Hangouts for free on any carrier.

Hi guys. I bought an unlocked Sprint LG V40 (V405UA). I am from Argentina and it works perfect in my country with my SIM card, but the problem is that it has the Sprint firmware and it is in Android 8.1 and it won't update if i am not with Sprint contract i think. I'd like to have the stock global firmware and get OTA updates (Android pie at least). I see a page called "lg-firmwares.com" with all models firmwares and tutorials, but i am noob in this matter and i don't want to "brick" my phone or lose the unlocked condition. If i follow the "lg-firmwares.com" tutorial and flash the Android pie firmware for my model, can i brick my phone or lock it again? or it is secure and everythink will be ok?
Thanks.

Okay you have 3 ways to do this.
1st. If rooted/Unlocked Bootloader: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v40/how-to/guide-crossflash-unlocked-pie-to-t3944359
2nd If rooted/Unlocked Bootloader: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v40/how-to/guide-make-lg-v40-compatible-lgup-t3953120
3rd I personally haven't tried this yet: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v40/development/lg-1-16-t3967559
With the 3rd one you should just simply be able to flash any KDZ but you should make sure it's compatible first.
But once you Crossflash no more OTA's you would have to download NEW KDZ and flash it over the one your on.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v40/how-to/guide-lgup-root-t3967858 This Guide i made should help you with your 3rd question. That we have seen no you shouldn't loose Sim unlock if it's factory unlocked or if you carrier unlocked it for you after so many months being active with them. You always loose your data when KDZ flashing. You wont get OTA updates if you Crossflash...if you stay with your current rom OTA's should be possible
If you're using a us carrier phone outside of the us, you should just forget about ota. It won't work. Do yourself a favor and learn about the various flash methods. You're gonna need one of them at least to keep it updated.
Thanks guys. It sucks that it's imposible for me to get OTA updates, but at least i can try flashing my phone to keep it updated. I will check the guide and learn more about it then. Anyways i think this is an amazing phone and a bargain for the price nowadays..

hello thank for answer , can you give me tutorial to do cross flashing?
ok first download and instal LGUP_Dev_Frame_Ver_1_15_0_6, after instal usb driver LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.2.0
in disc C\program filles find lg electronics\LGUP\model here make a new folder with the name (common) and in this folder common copy dll file- https://www.mylgphones.com/lgup-dll-for-lg-v40-thinq-version1-9-39-7.html this dll(LGUP_DLL_for_V40.zip)
now put the phone in download mode with usb to the pc
open powershell from the LGUP folder and type cmd enter
now indicate the address to the kdz file folder on your PC, in my case it was (lgup_cmd.exe com3 "C:\Program Files\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\common\LGUP_Common.dll" "D:\Zona Downloads\lg v40\V405EBW20d_00_OPEN_EU_DS_OP_1106.kdz)
if you have correctly indicated the address to the kdz file, firmware update will start
wait up to 100%
my phone
I believe I tried this days ago. However, after days of trying, I reread this, and it is clear to me that there are two problems with these instructions: 1. Firstly so many other threads say use only 1.16 and above for this phone. 2. you don't offer a patched link. The standard dev requires special passwords and doesn't offer a way to register.
I haven't found a dev version above 1.14 that was patched. Someone offered a patched 1.15 that supposed to help. But non of the dlls work, which I suspect is because no lgup can work with lg v405ua, below a patched 1.16 dev. I don't think I have found that unicorn yet.
[SOLVED] Hey, so I purchased the Note 9 (SM-N960U, baseband : N960USQS1CSF1) about six months back, and for some reason, I haven't received any OTA updates, I'm still stuck on Android 9 :'). I've decided to flash the firmware, but it's gonna be my first time,
And I do have some questions..
1. Is it fine if I flash the latest Android 10 UI2.5?
2. I have the AT&T variant but I live in The UAE, I don't have any European sim either, so is it fine if I flash the Verizon version ( or is there any other recommended Carrier) cuz I can't find any firmware of AT&T.
3. Is it necessary to root the phone in order to get it flashed with Odin?
4. I don't see the OEM UNLOCK option, but that does that matter right? ( I do have the snapdragon version)
6. Are there chances of bootloop or bricking if I follow all the instructions and download the correct firmware?
Lastly, if you guys could offer some tips and suggestions, I'd appreciate
Thank you!
[EDIT] Heres how I did it
1. Installed the latest Samsung drivers for mobile on my pc
2. Factory reset my phone and cleared all the cache
2. Got the U1 firmware for my sm-n960u unlocked phone (as advised by a fellow redittor) from sammobile.
3. Used the patched Odin 3.13.1.3b to do a *clean install* of the new firmware. And done!
Problems I faced: Odin failed to recognize my device, so I had to use another USB port and reboot my pc

Note: I did watch some YT tutorials and have read some stuff, so I do have some basic knowledge on flashing the firmware

1. If there is update available
2. I don't know about U phone
3. No root needed. This is official fimware
4. No need
6. Provided the firmware you're going to flash is correct, shouldn't be a problem. Upgrade shouldn't cause stuck/bootloop, just don't downgrade.
Be sure to find the correct firmware.

Thank you mate! Now I just need some clarification on the carrier issue.
Hello guys,
sorry for my imperfect English...
I bought my brandnew LG V40 (AT&T - LMV405UA) as "unlocked / GLOBAL Version" in NY in May 2020.
I moved back to germany again and didn't get any software support. LG won't help me. I should move to US again to get updates OTA (!!!).
I tried LGUP, LG flashtool but the V405UA30c_00_VZW_US_OP_0814 .kdz file doesn't work with some dll on the phone. I don't really want to root the phone because I would lose my warranty.
Is there a *.kdz file available to get my phone updated?
If not, what are your suggestions?
Big thanks in advance! ✌

Well, your at&t device won't update if you're not on an at&t network, which in Germany, you're not going to be lol.
at&t does not make it's kdz available, to anyone, anywhere. But there are some 'back-ups' people have done that you could, using other methods, flash to the device. You'd have to use something like qfil, and be sure not to flash over the critical partitions that hold your imei and s/n.
vzw does make their kdz avail, as u know, but to crossflash to vzw you'd need the correct version of lgup and it's dll. That's not too hard to find. But does vzw rom have the bands you need in Germany?
I think you'd be better off with a version of EBW rom which has German variants, and also I think is on 10.
As far as warranty goes... honestly, u have an at&t device, in Germany, forget it. I highly doubt you'd ever receive warranty help from an mfg in US. I'd bet that would be their first excuse, if yer not in the US, they can't help you.
cheers
Thanks AsitLies!
No good news for me - but you're right...
