Hey guys, I just bought an Unlocked Spring LG V40 lm-405ua that is on Android 9. Can I simply flash it to the latest Tmobile firmware which is Android 10? Thanks

No, you absolutely cannot and should not do that. T-mobile's roms / devices use their own specific hardware encryption / signature.
There's a caveat with virtually any of the major threads for pretty much all LG devices, and that is the guide / rom etc applies to ALL versions EXCEPT T-MOBILE.
And that's because of their own unique encryption / hdwr signature. Basically, you flash a t-mobile rom ONLY to a t-mobile phone.
cheers
meh, *delete*

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.
As long last...

Its quite strange that still not even Pie beta update was released in Korea
Maybe T-Mobile give pie before Korea to users.
What’s the point..
The third beta for the Android 10 Q is now available, with the final release expected in August.
I have a Verizon V40 and just got the Pie update today. I am in the US. Have to enjoy it since it will be the only update this phone sees! I am using a 3rd party launcher, so my phone looks no different. But, I can say I got Pie!!

Wow! T-Mobile released pie for v40?
TMo Pie rolling out OTA ... downloading now.
Request for At&t manual of 9.0 Kdz Update for V40
Hello. Can anyone please ptovie me the Kdz file of 9.0 Pie update for Lg V40 thinq At&t. I'm not living in US. And the phone is Carrier unlocked and due to not having At&t signals om my phone or registration i was unable to get 9.0 Pie Update OTA. And want to manually update my phone.
My phone model is LM V405UA
Software version is V405UA10d
And want the V405UA20d 9.0 kdz file.
I'm new and don't no about rules or forum. Sorry if i done anything wrong.
Reguards & Thanks in Advance
Just got the Pie update for T-Mobile last night. So far no problems.
Anyone else having a harder time swiping their notifications down? I notice a lot of the times it will drag down a bit then bounce back to the top so I have to try and swipe it slowly and deliberately to make sure it pulls down sometimes. Never had this issue before the Pie update. Not a huge bug but pretty annoying and it happens at least once or twice a day.
Excuse me for any redundancies with my question, but it's difficult to find the answer for sure. Currently, who can get Android 10 amongst the crossflashers? Those who have unlocked phones with Verizon Android 9 kdz, can they update OTA to Android 10? Is everyone here still on Android 9 among the unlocked crowd? If so, what's the latest version that LG has released?
Is crossflashing to Korean version a possibility? Will it work well internationally and support english? T-mobile has Android 10 kdzs, how are those? I see us unlocked and verizon crossflashing mentioned, but not t-mobile strangely.
Thank you so much all
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?

I flash my Sprint V40 with the Verizon rom I found on LG Fan (lastest version I found, Android 9, and I received OTA update to Android 10).

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.

It's an AT&T device. You have no way to unlock the bootloader to install a custom rom.
