So i have the Sprint variant LS991 and my question is this. I see all over the Sprint G4 forums references to the software versions ZV5, ZV6, ZV9, ZVa & ZVB.
My particular handset is showing a ZFA version and I'm trying to find some way of putting a ROM on it since I haven't seen a root package for the LS991. I'm assuming that this is because the LS991 apparently is the red headed bastard step-child of the inbred G4 family. Can anyone suggest a ROM that would be compatable with the LS991.
I also note that on a lot of the ROMS it states that its only for the ZV5,6, or 9 versions etc. So can i roll back to one of these versions and if so is that done with the LGup tool/software?
Thanks for the input.
How were you able to display the ZFA version - what steps did you take to display that?
I go into the menu for settings, about phone, software info. That's where I see Software version LS991ZVC. What do you see there?
Depending what version you have, you can use an LGUP tool to downgrade. I think you can go ZVC down to ZVB, but no earlier.

I bought a new Lg g4 model h81520g as shown in setting>about phone>software info. I wanted to check for update but there's no software update option, only apps update is available. so what I decided to do is to reflash the stock software to enable update option. I downloaded the kdz file "H81520g" but when I connected it to computer and ran the LGUP it shows another variant which is LS991zv6. I tried to flash the downloaded file, but it gives an error "invalid kdz. My Lg g4 comes with marshmallow on board. the stock recovery works fine, and also the download mode is fine.
my question is: should I download and flash LS991zv6? by the way, I checked my imei in imei info .com and it shows the model as LS991 sprint

Zv6 is lolipop no mm. U need to check the motherboard. Must disasmble the device and see what it says. Bit if the device is working i would leave it be. Its almost more hassle than its worth

Thats what im telling u zv6 is a lolipop firmware for sure no debate there..
Thats why i say leave it be. This is one of those if u mess up u can hard brick it. Theres not a diffrence between mm and lolipop motherboards but zv6 is a lolipop firmware. Not mm.
are you telling me that software info in about the phone is wrong

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.
Hello
I cross flashed US Unlocked kdz on my AT&T LG V40. I want to go back to AT&T rom. Can anyone share the AT&T kdz please?

Unfortunately, it doesn't exist. No one has one. There is another Thread about partition backups, and qfil was used to back up one of the AT&T kdz. But to restore is more complicated than just using LG up and a kdz.
Thanks for the reply. I think US unlocked might take it’s sweet time to get Android 10.
Anyway do you know if crossflashing stops OTAs. I’m pretty sure US unlocked has January security update but I’m stuck on November. When I try to search it says no updates available
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...
Hi all, I'm new to modding in general so there's many things I don't quite understand, hoping somebody can help.
I bought an S10 from a site which was supposed to just send me a refurbed (italian) S10, instead they sent me the US version, (G973U) and I believe it is carrier locked since it's stuck with Android 9 and doesn't find any update.
I have tried searching to no avail what I should flash to simply unbrand it, and allow it to receive OTA updates without tripping Knox.
The build version is the following: PPR1.180610.011.G973USQU2ASGC and the CRC is XAA/XAA/ATT
Thanks in advance.
You shall call them.
Who and what for? I'm past the point of dealing with those sellers, I just want to flash the phone.
CSC (not CRC).
XAA is a multi-region USA ROM, so I don't think it will change over properly for you in Italy. There are threads here for how you reflash a different ROM. The one I used for my S10+ was this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...e-links-and-flashing-discussion-here.3905897/ but I am sure there is one like that for your S10 non-plus... find it, follow the instructions, and you should be all set.
Thanks! I'm a newbie, what does it mean it wouldn't change properly? No OTAs? Tripping KNOX?
I have found this which seems to be the equivalent of the link you posted.
So, I should flash the U1 version right? However I see only a file "SAU - 1 - ....", and my build number doesn't end in that, furthermore I don't know which bootloader version I'm at.

Oh ok. I couldn't understand first.
For that, You'll flash in EDL mode. But the problem is if your device is powered by a snapdragon chip, it'll not working seamlessly.

No problem. I'm aware of the mode I have to enter to flash, as above I'm trying to figure out which stock rom I should flash to avoid tripping knox, and to receive OTAs. What won't work seamlessly?
Well, mods can close the thread, found the way to do it. Leaving it in case somebody ever needs it.
First, found & checked the bootloader version (5th number from the right in the build version) since you can only flash older bootloader versions apparently.
Then downloaded through Frija the rom for the unlocked phone variant (SM-G973U1) and the unbranded CSC (XAA)
Then using odin 3.13.3b flashed the rom

Hello, I'm in more or less same situation. When you flashed, which files did you use? All of them or just the AP_*** file?
Never mind. Flashed it anyway, now I don't see the AT&T startup screen anymore which is promising. Firmware version is now Android 11 (SM-G973U1 and not SM-G973U) on XAA CSC. Will see if I get any firmware updates later.
