Attached is a copy of the LGUP_common.dll extracted from the US Unlocked LG V40 model. I was wondering if anybody had knowledge on patching it so it would work with LGUP. Currently when it is used, LGUP runs into DLL for V405QA11b is not installed properly. Please, install a DLL package(*.msi). for the model. I just want to run a fresh restore on my device. The DLL version should read 1,0,38,3 as it does in LG Flash Tool.
If someone manages to patch the dll or modify it that it does work this might open up the possibility or closer to the possibility of rooting as well

No this is a separate issue. LGUP simply does not work with the V40 DLL from what I have tested. Even the V30, all LGUP needed was the LGUPc.dll file extracted from the kdz renamed to LGUP_common.dll and placed in the model/common folder of LGUP for it to work, however for some reason with the V40 it seems to not be the case. It should be some HEX editing to the DLL (I would try to look into it and do it myself if I weren't so busy), to make it compatible with LGUP. Rooting is an entirely different matter. The US unlocked V40, at least has the ability to boot into fastboot, which leaves the possibility of LG opening the ability to unlock the bootloader. Once that is done, then all we need is a TWRP build, which honestly is the least of our problems. As for the other variants, it really depends on a vunerability being found that can be used. Currently I am downloading the other two firmwares that were posted, seeing if their DLL's have anything that may solve this, but the download speeds for those two KDZ's are painfully slow, and I don't think I will be able to do anything with them up to at least this weekend.
So the us version the t mobile version of the LG v40 can be unlocked and rooted?

If you notice no V40 model has the unlock code as of yet, that im aware of the US Unlocked B&O version is the only one with Access to the Bootloader/Fastboot area the other models that try to reach it just get a normal reboot...but they still need to release the unlock code for them to use.
You can also checkout my thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v40/help/root-t3878148/ Where everyone seems to be chiming in

I am pretty sure we use a hex editor and find all instances of partition dl and switch all the values to true i think only bcheck is false by default and add store in front of the dev thats just my theory its a lot of work to do but if someone wants to try you can. I might be wrong there is no info anywhere about patching dll's and also changing value to true changes size of dll i dont know if that matters or not.

I see. I was going to see the differences in between the old DLL's that worked straight from extraction and this one which doesn't to see if I could "patch" it so it would using IDA pro, but I'm pretty busy and haven't looked into this stuff before so yeah also kind of reluctant on wasting time, like as you said there really isn't much info on this stuff. But because flash too, an older tool than LGUP, recognizes the dll and its versioning. So there must at least be some similarities or if its the worst case scenario it only shares some version variable.

I can probably end up finding one, as I have most the V30 KDZs for the H933, and I think there are patched DLL's lying around XDA, but the problem here with the V40 DLL is that it doesn't work straight from extraction of the kdz. The first step is to get it working and then the second step is getting it working with the dev options.
Hello everyone. Any updates in the correct DLL for LGUP V40? Thanks

@theelite @awireless , I'm not sure if you have given up hope on this, but I have the information you need on how to do this. A good friend of mine from China sent me something he found on how to flash a pie KDZ to the LG G7, but the document was in chinese so I couldn't really understand it, but I noticed it detailed the process of how to unlock LGUP in the same way you wanted to enable cross-device flashing, etc. I've done my best to translate and consolidate the document for ease of use. If no one has the time to do this, I will get to it when I have time off from work.

That is very awesome nice to know that information but the issue is with the dll of the firmware this is how to patch lgup to let all the options appear we already have the options we need the dll to work.
I really wanted that info though that's really good to know.
Do you still have copy of the Chinese version?

Hey there,
I know this is a developers forum which is not intended to cover the very basics. However, I've been searching the internet, and here, to no avail, trying to find a simple guide to how to upgrade my LGP970 to Gingerbread. Having a UK version of the phone, no update has yet come through the LG B2C tool -- this tool also consistently fails to open these days (error message: "Please, check your internet line and execute program again" -- infuriating).
So, I'm not looking to root my phone; I'm not interested (for the time being) in CWM. All I'd like is GB official version on my LGP970. I understand I have to download the .kdz file (I'm guessing Europe Open is my best bet). What I don't know is the appropriate way to use this file to upgrade my phone.
There are lots of guides on here, all seemingly aimed at users wishing to root their phones; I can't find anything for those who just want to upgrade without rooting.
I apologise if this is too much of a n00b thing to be asking about, but any help or direction elsewhere would be very much appreciated. Thank you

Scroll down to unbricking, and use the R&D method. First download the UPK (link is there as well) then follow the second link to the work around. Set it all up, download your KDZ, I guess europe open will be fine, flash it and be happy ever after

I have the nck codes and all that, but no method to input them as it seems boost/sprint disable the 2945#*xxx# method to get to an unlock menu.
concerning that 2945 method, does that come back after loading a custom rom when you wipe out the sprint rom?

You can downgrade from ZVF and ZVE without getting hard bricked - no worries. (No guarantee for future updates higher than ZVF).
If you use this to upgrade from ZVC or lower, you cannot go back down lower than ZVD or you will get hard bricked.
File works fine in LGUP. Don't ask me how to install or use it - there's plenty of that already on the forums.

Plus, I don't think it would give you the DLL anyways. I created the tot myself using software to pull the partitions from another phone and compile everything together
Is there a possibility of using this tot file to create a more updated MellowMallow installation? I think MellowMallow is currently based on the much older ZVB version.

I have no idea. You'd have to talk to the ROM dev. I doubt it though.
I'm sure a flashable ROM zip could be created, but that would require a custom recovery in order to be installed.
MellowMallow is in TOT form IIRC but the problem is that there's no root method for ZVD

Lol.
Brother this tot works for the LG G4 LS991ZVE ?? I await your reply thanks
So has anyone actually flashed this TOT to confirm it works? The structure seems different from prior TOTs and the entire extracted TOT (via WindowsLGFirmwareExtract) is smaller than even a compressed version of ZVB's system image. Either this TOT is missing too much critical data to be used for a full restore or it's incompatible with the only decompilation tools I can find. Either way, as it is, it's useless for creating custom (Mellowmallow-style) ROMs.
EDIT: Maybe the tools I was using weren't accounting properly for the different structure. I did a bit of tweaking with LGBinExtract and managed to pull out a full system.img. Still haven't actually flashed the TOT to downgrade my ZVF phone, though.

So has anyone actually flashed this TOT to confirm it works?

I didnt look at the file structure. But 1.6 gb is the file size which is typical for g4 tots.
Anywhere from 1.5 to 2.5

I've just flashed this rom on a LS991 with ZVE with lgup but i dont know if i am doing something wrong, when you flash a tot like this, the phone must restore to factory defaults? or when a tot is flashed the phone just do an "upgrade" ... In my case I used this tot to install from stratch a new rom, cause im stuck in the setup wizard :/

You can downgrade from ZVF and ZVE without getting hard bricked - no worries. (No guarantee for future updates higher than ZVF).
If you use this to upgrade from ZVC or lower, you cannot go back down lower than ZVD or you will get hard bricked.
File works fine in LGUP. Don't ask me how to install or use it - there's plenty of that already on the forums.
Happy flashing!

No, not firmware extractor.
I use 7Zip for highest compression, so use that to extract

OK thank you
Ive been pulling my hair out trying to restore my IMEI for the past 2 days. I have the stock 8.0 firmware downloaded and can flash the phone back to stock no problem but no matter what I install, stock or custom rom, my imei is gone.
I believe the problem started when I was rooting the phone and followed a guide saying to use the e5 james twrp to boot to twrp and make a backup, which I have in my google drive. I got magisk installed etc and ended up wiping the phone, not realizing the encryption wouldn't allow me to get my files back. If I do anything other than a clean install it fails to decrypt and I have to restart into TWRP.
I don't have the original box and can't find the guys info that sold me the phone so I don't have the original imei handy.
Anyone have any thoughts or success getting their imei repaired?

Look under 4) Explanation so you can see what happened.

I thought I was getting the hang of rooting
and mods etc but I realize Odin was doing all of it and I know nothing.
Well I guess I'm going to try to rebuild the folder. Good news is I can see my IMEI from the boot barcode now and couldn't before so there's that.

I rooted the phone and have access to the persist folder etc but it looks like it's all empty

Well I'm not sure how to proceed from there. If you do have a backup try to see about extracting it and seeing if it includes the persist folder. If not you may have to look around on what to do next.
The Moto G5s Plus I had the issue on shipped with Nougat and I flashed pixel experience rom and havoc OS for a while before flashing stock to sell it. When I did that I had lost my imei and had to hunt around until I found that thread I linked and followed it to fix the issue. Your issue may or may not be fixable the same way.
I have a twrp backup I believe is it but when restored it boot loops or says decrypt unsuccessful
i found the baseband bin file for tmobile,sprint,metropcs,boost for moto e5 plus

Sorry for the misunderstanding on left when you see mirrors.lolinet.com click on that folder then you will see firmware from there you will see Moto then u know the rest but go by http://mirrors.lolinet.com the links are broken ..
I'm going to download it and try it now. I think I used one with a different baseband and radio version that caused my issue in the first place. Been a while since ive rooted. But thanks, I'll let you know how it goes.

I understand I got sound after I flashed it twice. The only problem I got is caller can't hear me everything works except the caller can't hear me I have been working on that but it's becoming to a point of getting a replacement but not quitting just yet. If I find something will post it ..
If I figure anything out ill be sure to keep you posted. If you could do the same, Id appreciate it greatly.

I'll be back with an update .. ... UPDATE have you done this one yet 27.11.49.hannah_a.a.en.US this is from Hannah but the AT&T version gonna try it then get back to you .. update again I can not find it and tired the AT&T link and it's broken idk for right now but I'll keep looking
I used the cricket variant of the file last night and It loaded and flashed but no service and still no sound on the device at all. Almost out of ideas.
