Mate, first of all, Welcome to our forum, please, take time to read the rules.
About your problem, long story to short, install an app called "more locate 2" or "locate select" and have fun.
If its do not solve your problem, come back.
Cheers!

Hi.. Thank you for your response and for the welcome.
That was the first choice, in fact I have it installed but do not put it completely in Spanish, Spanglish hehehehe ... not being in native Spanish I have problems with google now recognizes only a few things.
is possible to put a firmware to bring Spanish language?.
My phone is rooted, maybe you can get directly the language folder of another version of 975 that has english and put it in mine.

Backup everything
Mate, in your case, its pretty easy...
Just update via LGSoftware, choice your country and language, customer support, recovery mode, LGE975 and follow the instruction on your screen...
good luck...

I'm having a lot of problems .. I read many tutorials, downloaded KDZ_FW, B2C, Windows enabler ON, msxl.msi, etc ...and E97510C_00.kdz
to reach 15% always throws me the same error: The USB cable and your cellphone are not conected
CORRECTION
--------------------
maybe it's more simple as I thought. I followed the steps you indicate, only with (LG Mobile Support tool). downloading the firmware now.
fingers crossed

You might be stuck in the setup wizard.
I've never heard about any code to mount or read/write a storage partition, I think you got a kind of problem that you shouldnt have.
Did you tried to install again?

If no luck:
NRG: Turn your phone completely off. Pushing the camera button in, plug in your usb cable. The tricolor, bootloader screen will come up and you can flash your regular OEM ROM which can be downloaded from one of the stickies.

maybe your phone is f'ed up try to go to tmobile and have them exchange it say that the oem rom stopped working but dont tell them that you tried to flash to a different rom just say you were playing with it and it messed up so you went to their website to try to flash the rom again but it wouldnt work, they could probably help you better or yet exchange for a refurbished one

Don't know if that is why you can't flash, but it could be. Look around the guides more too.

thats what i read for steps to upgrade...but i still get the error no matter what i try. ive upgraded to cooked roms before (when 6.0 first came out) and then switched to the tmo 6.0 rom but i cant get 6.1 to load.
And as you can see, that guide is kind of not 100% accurate since it does not have the Surreal unlock.
The not passing over 3% issue has been dealt with many times.
SDA unlock it from desktop, download the Surreal, pass it in the File Explorer. Go on the phone itself, of course without ever detaching it from the cable in active sync, and install the .cab. restart the phone, I personally flashed it with a USPL thing, I guess I did an extra step that was not needed, so technically at this point, you should select the RUU like say Kavana, and it should work. Let it do its thing even when rebooting... I know it looks like its taking too long at times... but just set it down and go drink a coffee or something then come back. Once it starts normally, I didn't have to setup anything, unlike what the guide says, but its best you do it anyway from connection setup and choose USA >T-Mobile, if that is what you have of course. Then for MMS just look at one of my threads, I helped some guys just as opf recent. You will see all the info you need.

Can you boot in bootloader mode? (Turn off device and then hold power+down key)
Use wugfresh tool kit and you can solve all problems easily. Find the kit in general section!
Just plug in device and select restore nexus and select, nexus is bricked/bootloop
Jus sit back and it would do the rest

You can use Google translate to translate in English if you are having troubles expressing it. Make sure you use full form/ standard language of your language or it would not be accurate translation!

I thought it was a ESL post as well. Must be texting speak. Sometimes I'll read back an Email to myself and think some prepositions and personal pronouns would really help these sentences LOL
For instance in the above sentence a 'that' before: some prepositions - would improve improve readability.

Does this mean it is un-rootable?
Goddam but Virgin fones are a pissoff.
Should I return this phone?
Or is there any possibility of a way to fix this?
I learnt the same lesson. It's sad that carriers can restrict what we do with our phones here in north America while if you buy this same phone anywhere else in the world, it's rootable.
I've had mine a few months now and still no way of rooting.

ok, so the idea is that I flash the combination file, go in to dev. settings and set OEM unlock, then reflash the phone with normal firmware, and carry on with rooting as normal? will this allow me to install twrp?

no , when you enabled dev settings, enable OEM unlock , then reboot to bootloader and unlock it , then u can root with magisk by patching the AP of the firmware you need

BK,
Ok, I'm sure you're going to think I'm a retard, but I wanna be sure I understand correctly.
So i:
1)flash combination file
2) Boot phone up
3) enable developer settings
4) enter developer settings, and enable OEM unlock.
5) Ok, here is where I'm a little unsure of what you mean:
"Reboot to bootloader and unlock it"
6) root with magisk.
The number 5 slot (above) is what I am having trouble with....
And then I use my pc to root the AP of the proper firmware before I flash it with Odin on to the phone?
Wait..I'm getting that part wrong too, I think.... shoot
Oh gosh. I'm screwing this up. Please advise here too...
And will TWRP be possible afterwards?
Excuse my asking about what I'm sure is obvious....
I have rooted and enjoyed the results on several LG phones and my old tab4, and I would enjoy the same freedom with this phone, as I quite like it.
Thank you again for being willing to advise.
Regards

Wow.. I got the same error, EXCEPT instead of (pit) I have (abl).
I mucked around for a bit with a cracked z3x for a bit, but it was an older version, and didnt have A705W listed.
I'm still game to try, but thought I'd see if somebody here had any advice....
Please help, if anyone can.
Thank you
I am kinda in the same position as you...
I've been wanting to root for a while but this oem unlock thing with my Virgin a705w is annoying
I don't really want to risk bricking my phone or whatever so I was hoping someone could do it first.
I found this website with pit files if they're any use: full-repair-firmware .com/p/galaxy-a70-sm-a705xx.html
(remove the space before the .com; I can't post links on xda)
pls let me know if you can get it working

Hey BK.
Thank you very much for your input!
I've only rooted my LG phones previously..
Samsung has a few more twists it seems!
I thought it might be worth asking you if you had any info on that error I mentioned below, the "please get approval to use factory binaries (abl) or (pit)" problem?
I've seen some stuff, applicable to the error ending in (pit), but have not seen anything referring to the (abl) version of the error, which is what I am experiencing....
Any advice you can give will be greatly appreciated....and by more than just me, I'm sure!
Thank you again
Kevin

If your A705W isn't listed , try A705FN if it's there, i dont have the canadian variant so i can't help like i would want to
you need this exact firmware A705WVLU2ASK1 , it can be found on GSM2FILE easily or others websites
Thanks to @ciozvarda for pointing out this easy method to get the latest firmware.
It' works great by the way!
For those wishing to try it out follow the steps bellow:

I'm from Portugal and did not get this update
It was launched for US and South Korea if I am not wrong. But I would like to install it if someone uploads the zip file.
Same here, would love to get this file, because my ota update does not work.
No update in Sweden yet...

Great tutorial, but as I understand it after updating it will not be possible to return to the previous CSC, in my case ZTO, losing important functions like Samsung Pay.
I am not an expert so I can not answer that question. But maybe after the update follow the tutorial again and change back to your csc? I don't know if it will work...

The problem is that to go back to the previous CSC it will be necessary to downgrade again to change, so this will bring you back to ROM 4.0.0.7 when looking for an update

Excellent! I'll probably try this..
I wonder if our fellow @adfree has any consideration regarding to save the downloaded cache firmware in order to be used for others. Or any clue if other CSC will be released anytime soon.
Oh. Just one thing.
I could not connect to the watch to use the sdb command. After searching online a little I found that the following settings should be in place before "sdb connect ....."
Bluetooth: Off, Wifi: On, Debugging: On, Developer Mode: On. Then restart watch.
I had bluetooth on and it didn't connect.

Hi all.. this is my tutorial
Ill add the turning bluetooth off thing right now ..
Yes you can redo this tutorial to re-change CSC as much as you want .. i havent heard Samsung changed anything to prevent us flashing signed firmware .

Hi guys , follow my tutorial to change CSC region to XAR (usa) .. you will receive the update OTA and samsung pay of you dont already have it .
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyWatch/comments/luoj3i
Ill answer any question..
@andrew.mackew
To catch the Delta files aka FOTA inkremental crap... is no Rocket Science...
But few problems...
A
To start FOTA update routine from Watch you need Root...
B
No idea why...
I did this way few times with GWA2... SM-R820 successfully...
But failed with my SM-R500...
C
Dump from device is not easy... AND require tooo much time and Energy to do this for every Firmware...
D
To find way to start from Phone the FOTA process...
Would be coooooool...
Old experiments successfully years ago... with ROOTed Phone...
E
No checked...
Chance for Leak increase if more CSC released...
SM-R500 also only KOO and XAR...
So wait is safe...
Best Regards

Any first impressions? How is the overall speed and battery life?
No bugs until now. Battery seems to be a little better. 20% left and it says 14 hours. Overall speed very good.
A good update.
