LG V40 ThinQ (Germany) 128GB / 6GB: Back to Stock-Firmware - LG V40 Questions & Answers

Hi all,
I'm owner of a LG V40 ThinQ (german device) unbranded 128GB/6GB.
LG sent me a bin-file for unlocking the boot-loader, and I have LineageOS installed.
Now I have to use Microsoft-Intune, which is NOT working with rooted phones.
Is it possible to go back to stock? And if, how? I tried flashing the firmware with LG Up, but this results in various DLL-Errors.
Does anyone has instructions how to proceed here? Do I have to re-lock the bootloader?
Thanks so much.

LG G Flex D959 branded phone with D950 software?

So I bought a G Flex on swappa after having owned 2 previously (its a pretty sweet phone :good: ). This phone is branded as a D959 on the body but the software running on the device is D95020F on KK. It wouldn't be such a big deal but I'm unable to carrier unlock it as I get the message " This phone is permanently locked and can not be unlocked" when I enter the number "2945#*950#".
My question is will I be able to use the LG Flash tool to flash a D959 stock rom and have a working phone or am I SOL and should I return it?
Extra info:
-I tried to flash a recovery using Freedom Flex but I dont believe it is compatible with the D950 KK variant. I believe it doesn't have a custom recovery.
-The phone arrived rooted.
Im having the same problem
is there a solution i can follow?

Is it possible my Sprint unlocked LG V40 Thinq gets lock if I cross flash it?

couple months ago I have bought an overstock LG V40 Thinq from ebay which is a Sprint and Network Unlocked version. I am currently using it on T-mobile and it works just fine other that VoLTE which doesn't work. As you all know Android Pie is not released by Sprint yet but T-mobile and US Unlocked versions got that update. So I am wondering, Is there a possibility that my phone gets locked to Sprint again if I cross flash it with US Unlocked version of Android Pie? Since I am not on Sprint, do you think that I may get the official update if I wait for a while? (I got couple security updates while I was on T-mobile network.) and if it updates over the air, is there a possibility to the phone to gets locked again?

repository of carrier-specfic OTA updates?

Hello -- Noob question for new user of LG V40 ThinQ (I happen to be using a carrier unlocked LM-V405UA / ATT).
I know ATT has released new OTA updates.
In addition, I understand that carrier V40 variants (ATT/Tmobile/etc) prevent use of LG Bridge for updates.
I'm used to HTC world where folks collect and maintain the OTA updates for anyone to use (whether you have SIM or not). Even with bootloader locked, there should be way to deposit OTA on local storage and reboot in some manner where boot process will identify file and load?
Are the LG phones really this "difficult" (aside from bootloader unlock topics)?
thanks

This is a reason why I got the US unlocked in the first place because crossflashing is risky. youll have to install the same kdz version of the 1 you crossflashed to.

Well if you have Verizon you can still "crossflash" back with their KDZ....just if you have either Sprint or AT&T models then your stuck with US Unlocked KDZ cause neither carriers have released their KDZ....but the only problems i have are ones i create and i have a Sprint Model currently running Havoc OS Android 10....

Is your's a dual sim model? I've heard that can be an issue as I think there are very few roms that support dual sim. Otherwise, yes, should be able to flash whatever you want, except of course t-mobile rom.
the lgv35 file works on the vv40 because they have the same chip; sdm845. You'll also see a v35_engineering_abl bootloader mentioned, it too works on the v40, but it won't actually boot the device unless you're running Pie.
One thing about the v40, with the firehose available, it's pretty hard to brick.
cheers
