I think it is very hard to root LG G8, especially T-mobile Version.

What about the unlocked version? Will that also be hard to root with OEM bootloader unlock?

Can this T-Mobile firmware be flashed over the Verizon software? Also, is there an unbranded firmware that can be used for American phones kind of like the way Samsung S series are?
Just got my tmo g8 yesterday, there is very little bloat. It seems to mostly respect lg's work. Not sure if that's a concern for you.
I thought the bootloaders were locked on all the US variants. How exactly would you flash this?

You can flash it with lg UP, but only to the intended variant, i don't believe we have a modified dll to allow us to cross flash kdz's between different models.

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?

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.

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.

there is no link from op and that link you gave was for the n model. Those sights never work for flashing.

All signs point to BS as far as I can tell but the op title had my hopes up lol. I think LG is under a contract agreement not to release such firmware, it'll only happen if it's an internal leak.
Here i will be sharing links to all the KDZ's that i happen to download and host on my mega account so if you are also paying for mega enjoy fast firmware downloads and even if LG discontinues a KDZ i will have it here (if i download it on time) in case we get LGUP to work correctly.

Hello! my LG phone is v40 Korea. I would like to change to EU but I tried to use Your EU firmware above and it's not successfully!
Hi, I have a LMV405UA. It is not carrier branded and the 8.1 stock it has right now has no bloatware in it. Which would be the best ROM to flash to update to Pie? (update check says I have the latest)
Hi, I'm currently having an LG V40 AT&T LM-V405UA, with AT&T bloatware on it. How do I know if it's unlocked or not, I can use my SIM card from other carrier with no problem. Also, how can I unlock the bootloader if there is no fastboot available on my device? If I were to use LGUP, which one of the firmware file should I use?
Been a minute updated OP added 20e kdz for the QA Us model
Hello I have a Sprint V40 updated with V405UA20a PIE version (See Pic) can anyone update it to V405UA20b for me, I have the kdz. file and also be able to keep root?

1. I didn't check to see if everything else worked. 2. If you want to stay on Pie, and everything else won't work you will have to find someone like VLAD to install Pie back on your phone.
Pie isn't installed on Sprint yet.
