[Q] Updates / Different Countrys

Hello guys,
I have the P990 bought from AT GSM in the US but i live im Brazil.
When i open the LG Update Software it show that my coutry is Brazil, so if i update the phone i will get updates from the US or from Brazil?
And if in case of updates from the US it would cause any problem with my network in Brazil?
LG Mobile update checks the IMEI of your phone, which is linked to the region in which it was originally sold/distributed - so if it's a phone from the US, the updater will install the latest US firmware.
If you're currently running the original stock US firmware, and there are no issues with your network, then the updated US firmware should work just as well.

[Q] Is it possible to make your AT&T or Sprint HTC ONE (M7) an International version?

[Q] Is it possible to make your AT&T or Sprint HTC ONE (M7) an International version?
Hi guys,
I have a HTC ONE (M7) which is an unlocked AT&T version, as the update for the the International version is already out and I cant update mine since its the AT&T version. I want to know why does the update differ for all the versions? and also is there any way I could install the International update to the AT&T version?
Thanks.
I believe the difference between the two versions is based on the types of network signals they would be using. Europe doesn't have access to 4g and LTE, while the U.S. does. So the device is built differently to accommodate the networks. So sadly, no way to convert a AT&T One to an international one. Best bet it to simply root it, and flash a custom ROM.

You can unlock the bootloader, flash custom recovery, then flash a custom ROM based on the international ones without any issue whatsoever. If you're looking to update without unlocking/rooting/flashing then yes, you're going to be SOL. The HTC One on Sprint and AT&T support all global frequencies, at least as far as non-LTE goes, so they can operate on any carriers network(GSM phones will not work on CDMA networks, however) as long as they are SIM unlocked. SIM unlocked is different from unlocking the bootloader and you'll either need your carrier to provide you the code or purchase a code from a third-party source. Eventually, there may be a hack to do this on your own but not as of this writing.
Thread here on the variants if you want a look.

Is it possible to unlock the V40's (EU) bootloader at the moment?

With the LG V40 finally being in stores in Europe, does anyone know if the EU version is unlockable at this moment? Or is no V40 unlockable at the moment, regardless of region, SKU and simlock or simfree?
Edit: EU SKUs:
LM-V405EB
LV-V405EBW
Possible? Yes. Risky? HIGHLY! The phone is still relatively new to the market, from the developer's view. Let them fiddle with it a while. Better to wait for a safe way. The phone has SO much potential, so I doubt it'll be ignored for long.

Its interesting that for the V30 at first it was NOT on their site as unlockable, but a few tried it and it seems like if you manually entered the device details it WAS unlockable! I wonder if anyone has tried with the V40 this way?

Well in order to try you need the Device ID which is the "Fastboot OEM Device-ID" aka you need Bootloader Access just to try to unlock the Bootloader but most variants just reboot when trying to access it...so we need someone with access to that to try it

I've tried with my unlocked B&H V40. I even tried the page source edit that worked for the V30 a while back. No luck. It said that bootloader unlock was for the LG-V405QA was not "yet" available.
Interesting that is said "yet", so maybe it will be soon, I guess we will have to wait and see. Not sure why they make such a big deal about unlocking bootloader/rooting, I mean other than a few guys bricking phones, does root really cost LG that much of an issue?
V405EBW is in supported list now.

Very nice!! Now for the V30 it says "LG V30: H930 and H930G for the European market" although the US998 version seemed to work. Maybe V40 US version will be in the same boat.
Lg v40 405ebw
I get this error on the LG Developer website.
Unfortunately, your device( Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China, (HONG KONG), LMV405EBW.HKG.
Is there a way to change the image on it for something else than LMV405EBW.HKG ???

I’m looking for this as well I purchased in the uk it’s Europe model with HKG firmware.
V10b-HKG-XX and would like GBR but doing this would stop any OTA updates I think..it did with my G7.

But it's NOT supported! The LG Developer site simply lists LMV405EBW as being supported. It makes no mention at all of which versions of LMV405EBW are actually supported. In other words, their list is garbage and cannot be relied upon. How is the buying public meant to know if LG wont be straightforward about it and be honest? There is no official information from LG or anyone as to the differences between them. Which raises an obvious point. If LG can allow the 'European' version to be unlocked then why can't they do it for the HK or 'international' version as well?
I had naively assumed that LMV405EBW meant LMV405EBW!
It's not good enough and I have sent a pointed and direct email to LG, telling them to lift their game. Very frustrating.

Does this firmware also contain Italian? how can I use it on a branded LG V40?
Can these firmware be flashed on the HK LG V40?
This one is also a LMV405EBW model.
Is it possible to flash LMV405EBW onto a Korean (LM-409N)? I bought a korean version because LG didn't initially release the V40 in the UK, but now that they have, it would be great to get the European firmware running on mine. Even though system language is set to English on my Korean handset, a few menu items come up in Korean as do all OTA updates!
I tried using LGUP v0.0.1.18. My phone is recognised by LGUP, but when I try to flash the EBW KDZ I get an "error Invalid KDZ" message. From what I've gathered since, the V40 needs LGUP v1.16 which I can't seem to find anywhere. Has anyone else had any luck with the V40, LGup and stock firmware?
I follow the 3d
hello all, Is it possible to flash LM-V405EBW.HKG (hong kong) to the US version ?
no one can answer?
Is it possible to flash a stock firmware yet on LG v40?
I got a Hong Kong variant unknowingly of v40 and could do with installing GBR open firmware.

Can't flash lg v405ebw
Guys, how do you flash the v40 if the lgUP is still not support the v40. I tried the 1.14 version can't detect it. Try the 1.15 version, i need to log in which I don't have the account. Try to flash it via lg flashtool, have difficulty to find dll for lg v40. Would really appreciate if there is someone who can create a forum to tell how to flash lg v40 with a supported tool for a newbie like me. Thanks in advance:good:
Unfortunately there’s no way to flash the V40 currently..there’s No working LGUP for it as yet..

Sprint V405UA to Korea Android 10 rom?

Hi,
Have heard of reports of people getting Android 10 via crossflashing to the Korean unlocked rom, but heard of possible caveats. Are there special steps to take? Besides loss of possible LTE USA bands in the firmware, anything dangerous about crossflashing to this
V409NO30b_00_OPEN_KR_OP_0515
firmware?
Thanks so much
Hello,
I have the same question. I'm tired of waiting Sprint for Android 10. Does it work with this Korean rom ? There is any step to be careful ? Thank you !
EDIT : if there is a Verizon Rom that work with Android 10, please let me know were to download it, i don't find it on lg-firmwares.com
Hello Phantafun/fireblade20, i have the sprint model. And i download the V405UA20A Verizon firmware from lg fan club and as soon as i booted the phone it requested me to update to Android 10, note i do not have a Verizon sim. I did not like the bloatware so i went for the Korean version V409NUA30d BEST DECISION EVER, nothing wrong, did not loose the network bands, plus the Korean version gets monthly updates.
Thanks a lot for the feedback ! I try it if as soon as I can get rid of the error 0x6004 CrossDl :/

sure ... because the korean version is 128 gb, memory, rom?
So, can anyone confirm that v405ua can be crossflashed with korean firmware?
I cannot flash the Korean rom (a new error code), but I finally get rid of the error code 0x6004 : i change the LGUP_Common.dll for another one found on another topic.
I'm on Verizon rom, it's really great : I can now desactivate the bloatware unlike the sprint Roms that lock this option.
I'm not clear on this. Is there a an android 10 ROM I can safely flash on a Sprint version?

DO you have any link to the instruction to cross flash it?
Were you root?

If you have an error code, you should try with other LG V40 DDL that you can find on Google or other topic on XDA.
