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

I've been through both of these threads and I'm just overwhelmed at this point.

I have a Samsung Note 8 that was purchased on Verizon in the US. I moved to Germany and moved to T-Mobile. As expected, my phone stopped updating. Early into the Oreo experience I played with my phone, flashing and updating but I'm lost as to where to go from here.
It's currently XAA/XAA/VZW and running build R16NW.N950USQ3CRBB.
What do I need to do in order to go back to letting my service provider push me updates? I currently don't have the time to keep playing with my phone and keeping up to date on the forum threads. And every time I try to read like i"m supposed to, I get lost and overwhelmed.
I'm sorry but help would be appreciated.
Are you still in Germany?

You can't get the updates anymore since you left the USA now you have to manually flash the updates yourself using odin flash tool. You can always see what the current firmware update version is by going to Verizon's website and checking it and then download the firmware and flash it and you'll be fine.

Maybe if you flash the unlocked firmware N950U1 you'll be able to get the updates because I have Verizon Note 8 and I get the updates but not from Verizon. Edit: this would be the unlocked firmware N950U1UEU5CRK1..

I agree with @MrMike2182. If you're running the carrier firmware, which it appears you are, then you won't get OTAs. Those are pushed by the carrier, and require you to be in the US.
You can try the unlocked U1 firmware, but I'm not sure that will work or not. Those OTAs are pushed directly by Samsung, but are intended for US devices. You may have to just manually flash updates from now on.
Curious...if you're going to be in Germany for an extended amount of time, why not sell the US Note 8 and get a N950F? Or even upgrade to a N960F?
I use N950U1 in The Netherlands with NLD carrier. OTA updates are received without issues or delays. So if OP debrands his VZN Note by flashing unbranded FW, as stated by MrMike2128 he will be fine.
The Note 8 was a gift as we were leaving the US so as much as I'd like a newer one, I can't afford it right now.
I'll try flashing the crk1 but where do I find it? Thanks everyone for your help.

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..

Hi i am new here and need help with updating my Samsung note 9 i still have a baseband N960USQS1ARI5 but will like to update to the latest firmware. i'm using an unlocked AT&T phone. can anyone guide me? I'm not sure if updating the firmware will lock the phone and the process to update, do I just update the firmware in stages as the updates were released till i get to the latest update or can i update straight up to the latest? I am thinking of using Odin, is that a safe way to do this? any help will be appreciated. Lastly, can I change from the AT&T firmware to lets say a none carrier based firmware so as to stop seeing the AT&T logo on boot up? Maybe switch to a firmware that supports global or international? Does anyone have links to an unlocked firmware update i can use, as well? Please help!
I must state that the phone never updates automatically as it always says the software is up to date.

to your last point, at&t phones are notoriously bad at updating
factory unlocked phones will remain forever unlocked and phones unlocked that are bespoke to a specific carrier will also remain unlocked even with Odin flashes providing that the method employed to unlock it was legitimate. Some unlock methods employ root and only trick the phone into thinking its unlocked. Well, once you remove root, and thusly the trick, the unlock is gone. I have ran across rare examples where the person swore up and down that they unlocked their phone with a legit unlock code and that it relocked to a carrier once the sim was inserted and initial programming completed, but i dunno. Sounds weird to me, but every person who said this also said that the phone locked to a carrier other than the one it came from originally. Take that for what its worth, but i still mostly stand by the first couple lines of this section of my diatribe
If you want the at&t crap gone, get the N960U1 firmware and flash it in Odin. You will need the modified version of Odin to flash it so it can ignore the 255 errors the phone throws up from flashing firmware for a carrier (or, in this case, no carrier) on to a phone that it wasnt originally designated (not designed) for
go to sammobile.com/firmwares, get the info for the firmware you want to d/l, get the Frija tool or Samfirm and download the firmware thru one of those as theyre literally 5x faster and flash it

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...
