There's only one model,just different RAM/Storage options.
The LTE Bands are the same,regardless of which you choose.
As to usage on Verizon,there's posts scattered throughout from VZW users,the search bar should net some results.

LM-G710V what is it?

Not Verizon G710VM
"G710V" is the model number.
I can't find any information on which variant this is. Google search only shows fcc filings and the device being approved for Russia or Europe.
Where and whom is this device sold to?

That is not the answer to my ? But ok.
I'll add. vMX=us Cellular ulm=unlocked pm=Sprint.
Every variant seems to be accounted for. The G710V is a ghost device.
I found fcc filing lte test reports for g710vm, but nothing for the g710v so I can't even figure out the bands.

What do you have to support this claim?
From all my research, the g710v is a DEMO unit without a modem in it.
If you look for the old LG G6 model number "H870V" most information regard it as demo only retail mode phone.
Furthermore lg-g710AWM is the Canadian model number.

My cousin just bought one from Virgin Mobile here, the demo model also had the same model number but it did have a modem.

If this is true......im going to be pretty mad. The downloadable Virgin Mobile user guide for the G7 shows AWM model number.
The only thing I can find is that the g710v was fcc certified approved in South Korea and Russia. I don't understand why this model would be used by Virgin and certified in those locations.
I cant speak to LG Korea or Russia without email, so days delay on response. But I did LG UK Live chat and they said they thought it was a demo model. So guess the demo model part checks out.
Also weirdly in the fcc filings for the G710V......there are ONLY shown test reports for wifi, nfc and bluetooth. Basically all the radios except the modem or LTE.
The G710VM fcc filings shows all test reports including LTE test report.
Oh well.........

That's weird, I'm holding my cousins right now with the model #, lte works.

One question, does it have the white tag on the back. With the model number and things?

LG G710V is the retail demo unit it has a modem (Snapdragon 845 is system on a chip) but no IMEI.

So can be flashed to have imei and calls?

I have the same model. Is it possible to flash this with a stock ROM of a different model? I want to use this for the other features other than call/sms but the retail mode settings is killing the experience.

LG G7 Unlocked - Brightpoint?

I ordered a LG GM710ULM from a well-reviewed seller on eBay. It was listed as new condition.
I received it yesterday and on the box, the model says LM710ULMBLTPL. I think the "PL" is for the Platinum. When I booted it up, the model number is the LM-710ULM, the serial number is populated, and the software version is the 11g and security patch is November 2018. When I tried to "Check for updates" , it said there were no updates available. There's no SIM card in it, so I'm not sure if that affects the ability to check updates. I don't see any signs of any carrier apps. All
When I looked up the IMEI on one of the free checkers, it comes back with the model as LMG710ULM, but the network is listed as "ABC Brightpoint" and Location is "N". As I've poked around, it looks like this is some sort of regional variant, but still from the U.S. But I can't find any cell provider named "Brightpoint".
When I checked the IMEI on T-Mobile's website, it gave me an error. But when I used the chat support feature, the rep was able to look it up and confirm it's not blacklisted and should be able to be activated on T-mobile. When I ran the IMEI through Verizon's online checker, it told me it wasn't compatible with Verizon's network. Which is a bit unsettling since the unlocked version should be able to be activated on any network.
Can anyone offer some insight on what the Brightpoint version is and how it may be different from the plain vanilla 710ULM ? Willl it be covered by the LG manufacturer warranty and get updates? Is there any way to be sure it's not refurb or flashed?
Thanks!

The fact that you have a populated serial number is a good sign. Brightpoint has released legitimate firmware for the ULM model, but I still no nothing about them as a company (might be worth a search of the forms... I think I remember someone talking about them as an LG partner). As seen here, I think the 11g update was the last update they released, but it should be possible to switch over to GFI or LG's vanilla USA firmware (this will likely require the use of LGUP), both of which are the same as far as I can tell, however there are different contact and dialer apps that get used depending on which network you are on, as well a Google Fi app that is either enabled or disabled by default.
Regardless of what the VZW website said, you should have access to all 4 major carriers in the US. I don't know if you have a specific provider in mind or a solution that uses multiple carriers such as Google Fi or Straight Talk, but you should be good to go (although I would recommend flashing to the latest "USA" kdz, which sadly is still not Pie!)

This is exactly what happened to me. What did you find out? What did you end up doing? I was expecting the ULM.AUSAPL model but got the ULM.BPTPL. Apparently Brightpoint is a CDMA company. Does this mean not all GSM bands will be accessible on this BPT firmware? Ya, seems their latest update is still from 12/2018 (11g) instead of USA firmware from 3/2019 (10j). Trying not to have to flash/root. Odd that Verizon said not compatible when it too is CDMA? Really having trouble finding the TRUE factory unlocked ULM.AUSA version. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Any info? Really would like to know what you found out. Did you keep the phone? Encounter any problems? ANY info would be greatly appreciated. DeeBG: maybe you can answer this: (BrightPoint is CDMA "provider" for all those tiny regional carriers) Since this "factory unlocked" ULM version is BPT does this mean that some or all of the GSM frequency bands are "disabled" for this model? And the USA version (GSM according to LG) has the CDMA bands "disabled"? And the GFI has all bands "enabled"? (for Fi auto switching) Is this how it works or what? Very confusing. Please help clarify this. Thanks.

I got one of the ULM versions off the bay too recently....it would not work on VZN...they denied activating it. I believe it does not have some bands needed. No pie for it either....so sent it back and got the VM version for vzn.

Sadly the confusion + lack of information is rampant for this phone, and this is down to one major reason. The chipset used in all LG G7 phones is the same (Qualcomm Snapdragon 845), however due to carrier subsidies and other sketchy reasons, the active bands are dictated by whoever sold the phone.
There are two providers in the US that I'm aware of that make use of all four major networks (those being Google Fi and Straight Talk). There are multiple free and ad-supported apps in the Google Play store that claim to be able to tell you which bands are supported by your phone (I only know of their existence and so cannot recommend one that's more accurate than another).

Thanks for responding! Boy..............."lack of information for this phone" is the understatement of the year! You aren't kidding! I've been trying to find out more for days but seem to get either very basic answers or different answers from different sources. So frustrating! Even LG is very vague in their answers. Just want to know if I will encounter any problems trying to use this on GSM networks when this is technically on CDMA firmware? And just cross-flashing this to the USA firmware will NOT "enable" all the GSM bands, right? RR125: A bunch of reflashed G7's have been being sold online, making my search for true answers even more frustrating. Did it come factory sealed? Meaning clear round stickers on both the sides? If not, then you may have received one of the models being reflashed to make it look like it is a ULM model. Which is bait and switch and illegal.

I'm in the same boat. I signed up for Google Fi and purchased my G710ULM from Amazon a couple months ago. I experienced issues immediately. WiFi calling didn't work; every time it was enabled I could see ER081 up top. After 1.5 months of terrible service, I downloaded Signal Spy and came to the realization that I was only ever connecting to T-Mobile. If I attempted to manually switch to the Sprint network, I'd get a message like "configuring mobile data". After about a couple minutes, my SIM card would lock and it told me to reboot my phone. If I attempted to switch to U.S. Cellular's network, I would get phone and data, but my phone number changed to a Nebraska number (note, I live in Missouri).
At about that time, I started researching the different firmware versions (with great difficulty) and found that I had a Brightpoint-specific firmware (11g). I've since used LGUP to flash to firmware 10j (Google Fi's latest G710ULM firmware). This has improved but not fixed my situation. I can now make WiFi calls, I can connect to T-Mobile and U.S. Cellular and keep my phone number on U.S. Cellular. However, when I attempt to connect to Sprint, I still get that "configuring mobile data" message and the SIM card locks. I ordered a new SIM card from Google Fi a couple days back and intend to test this phone with the updated card, but I've got a feeling that something else is at play here preventing me from connecting to Sprint.
Similar to other people, I did an IMEI lookup and while it comes up on the free IMEI checker sites, most of the main networks' checkers (ATT, TMobile, Verizon, Sprint) tell me that the phone is either incompatible with their network or they can't find it in their DB.
Potential SIM card issues aside, does anyone have any other ideas why I may not be able to connect to Sprint?
-Nick

It could always be a hardware issue but it sounds like the phone is not getting provisioned to work on Sprint. Can you verify SprintDM.apk is installed? You will likely need to install a third party app such as system app safe remover from Play store.

Brightpoint sells both cdma & gsm LG phones and are distributors nowadays who sell to other carriers.
The bands on the phone are locked and not capable of being used unless you unlock them via qpst or cdma workshop.
But these firmwares provided have them directly locked in the kernel.

So if a Brightpoint ULM model was flashed with GFI ULM kdz why should it be GSM only unless they are different hardware version like TM? ULM hardware devices should support CDMA LTE bands.

Snapdragon 845 no matter what phone will come with the same qualcomm modem as no manufacturer/carrier will take the extra cost to modify design.
But since the bands are locked via nvram, its upto the manufacturer and/or the distributer that loads the software to choose what will be locked or unlocked.
Bands can be locked via android kernel, but operators do nvram to protect phones from being used out of what they need or want.

TMobile g7 model question.

Ok I have a TMobile lg g7 thinq and I keep seeing guides that say they work on the 710TM but not the TMobile g7.
Well my model number is the 710TM, I also see people saying that the 710TM is not TMobile but Tim eu network but when I go into hardware info I get the 710TM model number.
What am I missing here.?

If I'm not mistaken (got rid of the G7 an few months ago) TMobile variant is actually 710TMP not 710TM but it just shows 710TM

Wonder why they would leave off the p in the model number.

Possibly because we don't have TIM mobile in the states so we have 710TM but it's actually TMP honestly I'm not sure but the T-Mobile G7 is TMP

Question Is Pixel 6 pro model G8VOU Tmobile phone?

Hello, I purchased a pixel 6 pro from ebay, the seller had it listed as Tmobile phone, I got a phone with model number G8VOU. From searching the net, the model number is supposed to have mmWave and thus it should be either ATT or Verizon. The seller listed it based on the warranty information on the google website. Is it possible that this model number is a Tmobile phone?

Yes,I bought mine direct from T-Mobile US & that is the model number. The model number is going to be the same, regardless of which US Carrier it originated from or, purchased direct from Google US or as an unlocked model from US retail outlets.

Is model number GLUOG (only Sub6 for 5G) not the Tmobile version of this phone? Why would Tmobile sell phones with mmWave 5G (G8VOU) since they do not use this technology?
