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.

Just wondering if there’s a way to flash different KDZ as yet?

Same here but purchased via Amazon UK..
I'm interested in crossflashing LG V40. I did that on LG V30+ twice. Here is the XDA topic: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/how-to/using-lgup-crossflashing-t3780969
My YouTube Tutorial:
I had LG V30+ (us998) on Sprint and all the bloatwares. I used patched LGUP & DLL file and flash ls998 witch is unlocked V30 kdz. Ot worked prefect. Then i tried to flash some another kdz file, didn't succeed, brick the phone. But then i use CHIP erase and tried to flash ls998 (unlocked) on it. And it worked but that delete serial number and other details. Bc i did chip erase. But phone worked fine at the end?
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..

I SET ANDROID PIE ON MY LG V40 SPRINT ..
STEP 1 : DOWNLOAD LGUP 1. 16
STEP 2 : DRIVERS
STEP 3 : DOWNLOAD LGUP_DLL_for_V40, I COPIED LGUP_DLL_for_V40, GO TO DISC C:, PROGRAMS (86) ,FOLDER LG Electronics, LGUP,MODEL, I CREATED A FOLDER ITS NAME COMMON AND THEN PASTE LGUP_DLL_for_V40
STEP 4 : DOWNLOAD THIS FIRMWARE USA UNLOCKED V405QA720a_03_NAO_US_OP_0529.kdz
STEP 5 : FLASH IT
[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...
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.
