I have the unlocked version LM-G710ULM and have been unable to get Google Pay to work. I get "couldn't finish set up to pay in stores" It has the stock firmware and is not rooted. From what I understand is that if you have the global or international rom it won't work. Is there any way to get it to work without having to flash a different rom, then root the device. I bought the unlocked version because I am on Cricket and didn't want to buy a US version then have to unlock it.
Does anybody have this unlocked g710ulm and been able to get Google Pay to work? I have trying to get it to work to pay in stores "Couldn't setup to pay in stores. This may be because it is rooted or altered in some other way"
I think I figured out what the problems is the phone is a G710pm with the firmware of G710ulm. I bought it refirbished and Google Play Protect is not certified, so I am assuming thats why I cant use Google Pay in stores.
Did you find a solution? I have the same phone and would like to use Google Pay.
I sometimes access Play Store on my computer. I just logged into my account. I can install the app to the phone without using the Play Store app on the phone. This is not a fix but it is a work around.
There is a lot of app that have apk file available. You got also install the app using apk.
Any fix yet?

The only one I know of is flashing the Verizon firmware, which has been tested and works completely with the converted G7 models (G710PM sprint to G710ULM unlocked). It works just like the unlocked firmware, just with Verizon bloatware which you can disable.
Developer option on LGUP Dual Mode and select Partition DL, then press select all, ok, yes, and flash
https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-lmg710vm...#tab=firmwares (the vrz 10f one)
I haven't done it myself yet because I'm not ready to lose my data.
Let us know how Google Pay goes!

You might have to factory reset after you flash. I'm not too sure
I can solve it. Write me in PM
Any help that is not a scam is done in public.
I communicated with this person on 4pda a week ago, he helped me with this problem. I don't know exactly what he did but at the moment, I have the European version of the firmware installed on my phone and Google pay fully works. OTA updates still do not work, but I upgraded the firmware to version 10q without problems using lgup with the upgrade option and dll from 10p
And now I am completely satisfied with my phone.
As far as I understand you need an octoplus box to solve a problem, or you need the help of a person who has such a box.
Not bootable after flashing verizon firmware
Tried this on a PM converted to ULM but ended up in an unbootable phone stuck at the verizon animation. Luckily I was able to get back to ULM.
Any clues?
5centr5 user who replied in this topic above really helped after private contact.
i have the same problem now, with my g7 G710EM.
past week it worked flawlessly now it tells me "google pay can no longer be used in shops", even after i reinstalled the app.
(pretty sure at this point that an update to goole pay or playstore broke it)
magisk hide doesnt change anything. (but funnily enough my direct banking app that does nfc paying aswell works fine)
is there a way to get google pay back to work?
Root/magisk/xposed/cross flash brakes googel pay.
If u whant googel Pay just use stock. Googel will always have the upper hand.

After the phone hangs on the Verizon splash screen, you need to hold down the power and volume buttons down without removing the cable. As soon as the screen goes out (darkens), immediately hold only the power button up. Thus, you enter it into download mode and you need to flash it again, but already in refurbish mode. After these manipulations, it will start.
Same Issue - will flash to T-Mobile firmware work?
Anyone else had experience with this? I too have a G710ULM that was originally a G710PM (flashed by a previous owner and unknown to me).
Google Pay just stopped working one day. Google Play store still works.
I've tried the factory reset, tried submitting the Google Service Framework ID, and it's still saying "device is not certified".
I am a relative noob, and I can't figure out which firmware to flash; EM or TM, and which region for the EM if I go that route. I am in the US, but travel to both Europe and Latin America. I have T-Mobile as a provider, and could probably live with their bloatware if necessary.
Is the problem that the phone has been flashed at all, or is it that it was flashed to the ULM and so does not qualify, as a previous poster speculated? Any help would be appreciated.
Do you all have an empty s/n?
Fixed
I updated my firmware from a G710ULM to a G710NULM android 10 and Google play is certified now, you can check this video and follow carefully, search in YouTube the video "LG G7 - Android 10 update Guide" from the user "Kensley Innocent", good luck!

I do contract work for a cellular dealer, and they've given me some demo units to set up as loaner units for client devices going out for service.
I've been able to disable and remove the Retail Mode application on most of the devices, but the G7 Thinq doesn't seem to allow it to be removed - it's effectively baked into the ROM (it can be stopped/disabled, but that doesn't allow for full access - each time the device is wiped it goes back into demo mode, something that's useless for a service loaner).
Since I'm in Canada I'm assuming that there's no bootloader unlock available so I'm stuck until this (hopefully) drops/releases? My knowledge in my time with devices leads me to understand that there's no way to remove an app that's baked in (although some Samsung devices have bloatware removal tools or ADB commands to help with this process, so I figured asking might be a long shot!)
Thanks in advance

After flashing the KDz did the retail mode gone ?
Do the demo units have a active modem?
Maby it's disable to prevent them from being sold to customers.
U probably nead to flash correct kdz if its a real fully functional unit..
The demo mode is activated automatically so stores can wipe a unit fast when costomers try to tamper with demo units.
Help me please

Hello, I just bought a G710ULM off the bay and verified the model before purchase. I received it and the software verifies it's a G710ULM but a IMEI check shows it's a PM (Sprint). So the software is still on V10b with no updates coming. I'm thinking this is because the update checks the IMEI and sees it as a Sprint device even though the software says G710ULM. I see a version on LG's site for 11e, is that the latest version? Trying to figure out if I'd been duped. The seller is a MAJOR seller and I'm thinking they are getting these as new Sprint units and LG or someone is reflashing them. I might be all wrong but 2 different IMEI checkers say it's a Sprint.

G710ULM owner here on Project Fi, the latest version is M10g. Updated to it about a week ago. Your phone may just need some time, or you can try using the LG Bridge software on a computer to update the phone over USB. Otherwise, it may just be a carrier thing.
I tried Bridge but when I check for update it gives an error. Wondering, when you check you IMEI does it show up as a G710ULM ? thank you
I got the same problem, got it on ebay, In settings the model is G710ULM, but the real model is G710PM. I also try updating via LGBRIDGE i aslo get the same error. Trying to get a KDZ file but i just cant find one and i don't know if putting another region firmware would work. There's a youtuber that had sprint LG G6 and just changed the Firmware (used one from canada, it work and also UNLOCKED all bands for world wide use).
Same ebay phone Same issue here with no s/n showing hardware is fine unlocked running tmobile usa.. Signal seems bad. Never see 4glte icon only 4g , H, G. Hopefully we can flash to some other firmware to get lastest update.Right now running v10b-Lao-COM firmware i guess thats sprint rom
Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk
I did flash mine, had the ULM software with SECURITY PATCH MAY.... What i did is download ULM 10g file from website, used LG-UP to flash it, But first you have to create a DLL file for LG-UP for this to work, if not you going to a error on LG-UP when you hit START.

Yes, the G710ULM firmware 10g that's the project FI(I used another link, not the same you posted, but it should work). I was running the same firmware V10b-LAO-COM, The project FI, was the only one I could find (ULM), so that's why I decided to use that one and because I read on Google that those phones are unlocked. I don't have the steps, but I could make a post in a few hours. And also it's still unlocked, using it outside the US. (I got this one on eBay unlocked version, but it's Sprint).
Does it work with Sprint now? I have the same story - bought "unlocked" g7 on eBay, shows G710ULM in settings but IMEI shows as Sprint phone.. Was working on Tmobile but when I activated with Sprint it doesn't read the SIM.

Well I think it really depends on you, maybe you should return de device, if Sprint doesn't work.... On eBay it said "UNLOCKED". So if it does not work just return it... I am using the phone outside the US.

You can with a unlocked bootloader. But to go back to Sprint you need the official firmeware which they do not provide to the public.... I have a G7 had it unlocked, different firmware installed. Had no service, . Tried to flash another firmware and ended up wiith a hard brick.. Got it back to the first unofficial sprint firmware, then had to have Sprint reflash the official firmware for the phone.. What's nice the bootloader is still unlocked.. Right now I would not even try anything. Best bet is to return if able, and buy a already unlocked version, so long as you can use it with sprint.

Man I just bricked the phone, first I tried flashing G710EM using LGUP and Partition DL (Select All) it failed almost immediately, after rebooting the phone it booted straight to Firmware Upgrade mode. Then, I got G710N20f, also tried to flash it using Partition DL (Select all), this time it failed at more than 70% step BackupGPT, now when I reboot the phone, I get the LG logo but after the screen turns to whitenoise like, it seems like it is still in Firmware Upgrade as I can still connect to it using LGUP.
Any ideas how to unbrick it? :crying:

Are you sure it is firmware (bootloader unlcok)? or sim unlock, there is a difference.. If you did a bootloader unlock you will get a waring saying. "Warning your software can not be check or is corrupt, please relock the bootloader". If you don't have this kind of message of this sort, then you just had it sim unlocked.

im just going by the ebay listing. It states"Your phone will be converted to a unlocked firmware version and that i can no longer receive ota updates".
My software version is G710ULM11e and my build number is OPR1.170623.032 and im on security patch level july 1, 2018 and android 8.0. When i go to the update center to check for a software update it states im using the latest version for my phone.
I did try a prl update and update device config and it states profile cant be updated. SprintDM notification shows that it trying update mobile network. it comes on and off every 3 mins or so.
I hope this is enough information to go off of! If you need me more information , please tell.
Also I did contact sprint via chat and they stated i could get my firmware back to stock but its 2 about 2 hours away from my city . itll be a like a whole day trip for me since i don't drive and would have to take a bus. I would love to avoid that.
Thanks!

that problem with the Sprint DM trying to connect every couple minutes is a huge problem with the bootloaders be unlocked you will have to go to Sprint and have them do it it takes about 30 minutes because right now there is no firmware available for Sprint anywhere on the internet. when I get a break from my new job I am going to try and install TWRP on my device and if I do it successfully I will be able to upload some firmware but that's not guaranteed.

Whether you had insurance on the phone or not should not have mattered. Sprint should have flashed the firmware, cuz that's their damn job. They asked me the same question I told them no and they still flash the firmware.

You have to be assertive or act completely aloof. If you are a paying Sprint customer, they will reset/reflash your phone. If no one in your immediate area can help you out, maybe you can mail the phone to someone who can get it serviced (heh I'd happily do it for free but hopefully there is someone a bit tech savvy in your own social network).
AT&T LG G8 - Want to flash stock firmware, possible? Trying to use it on Google FI and it seems hotpot and many other features aren't working. Phione is paid in full and unlocked. Factory firmware currently.
I want to flash my phone
So you're trying to flash stock on top of stock?
The request is to see if you can flash a bare LG unlocked ROM that comes with factory unlocked phones onto a phone that came with a stock AT&T ROM. The Att phone has now been carrier unlocked, is used on a different network, so the Att specific apps that replaced stock apps no longer work.
I was also wondering if I could do this with my Tmobile G8; unlock the phone, then flash the unlocked LG OS instead of the Tmobile version. My goal is debloat, and to be able to have the original Android hotspot app. Not to mention get rid of that terrible pink, loud, annoying carrier startup splash.
Also, I wonder if security updates would come faster when strait from LG instead of the carrier.

Unlike Samsung phones where you can flash other firmwares via ODIN I don't think this phone has that ability. If you got to the ROM/Development section there are threads where people posted firmwares but no instructions on how to flash.

We can actually cross flash, but we need a modified lg dll to fool lgup into letting us flash any firmware.
I have tried just about everything I can think of to get this thing to flash. I saw some people using lgup v1.15 via the command line but that didn't work either.

I am trying to do the same. I have a sprint version of the g8 thinq which i would like to install the unlocked version of the firmware. Any way to do so?
I have 2 unlocked sprint lg g8. One of them doesn't have the Sprint splash screens. So somebody was able to do something.

The request is to see if you can flash a bare LG unlocked ROM that comes with factory unlocked phones onto a phone that came with a stock AT&T ROM. The Att phone has now been carrier unlocked, is used on a different network, so the Att specific apps that replaced stock apps no longer work.
I was also wondering if I could do this with my Tmobile G8; unlock the phone, then flash the unlocked LG OS instead of the Tmobile version. My goal is debloat, and to be able to have the original Android hotspot app. Not to mention get rid of that terrible pink, loud, annoying carrier startup splash.
Also, I wonder if security updates would come faster when strait from LG instead of the carrier.

Hello,
I've tried to flash another firmware on an AT&T LM-G820UM10i with LGUP and a firmware found on lg-firmware.
The LGUP restarted the phone in Firmware update mode, then on LGUP, I got an error
Error 0x5319, Not allow to change the device.(ATT_US->OPEN_CA)
So I've unplugged and reboot the phone. Still working.

that just means one of the unit was not activated on Sprint (usually once activated Chameleon then kicks in and adds all the sprint stuff or boost depending on the MVNO)
I have all the necessary data and the LG DLL in the LGUP folder to put any ROM released, I have an LG G8 from AT&T, I am not within the United States but I am afraid that by modifying the ROM (KDZ) they will not work for me some things like 4G or some functions inside the phone, to specify live in Latin America, if someone helps me pass the LGUP data through Google Drive

You can't cross flash
WHY? The hardware comes with ****ty bloated software, which I did not pay for and want off the ****ing device

Because the G8 and all newer LG phones have security measures to prevent cross flashing.
Many bloatware apps can be Disabled in App Info Settings. The rest can be removed with ADB shell "pm uninstall". Google it.
It's best to never ever buy carrier devices. There's a reason they're the ones sold with a discount :cyclops:

The Sprint LG g8 is recognized by lgup when it's on leaked beta. It's possible they haven't built in security measures yet, I'm going to try cross flashing
Ok before I start I just want to say I'm a complete noob at android and how it works (got my first android a month ago) so don't get too angry if I say something stupid :/
So I bought an unlocked sprint g8 off of ebay but switched to another carrier called mint (uses t-mobile network) so I'm not sure how the software updates work. I'm aware I won't be getting updates from sprint, but I know that I have gotten 1 or 2 updates from lg since I got it. I'm a little confused as to if the updates from lg are all I need or if they are just security patches, and if there is a way to install sprint updates anyway.
I know I can solve this by unlocking the bootloader and installing custom roms once they start coming out, and on sprint I can enable oem unlock, but there is no way to access fast boot. If I do adb reboot-bootloader (or whatever the command is) it just does a normal restart. If I'm not wrong I should be able to do the bootloader unlock after lg adds the g8 to their supported devices, but I don't know how I'll be able to do this without accessing the fastboot. Recovery mode seems to be incomplete too (I can't use adb in recovery I think the drivers are not installed yet), so I think part of the sprint firmware is still kind of in a beta. So if the not being able to access fastboot and an incomplete recovery mode is a problem with the sprint firmware, will the lg updates themselves be able to solve this? Or is there anything else I'm completely missing?
Sorry if that was a little confusing but any answers would be great!
You will still get software updates. I have a sprint lg g8 unlocked on cricket and yesturday i just recieved the August 1 security software update.
I don't have an answer to your question, but does your Sprint model get VoLTE on Mint/T Mobile? Thinking about buying one.

There is almost a 0% chance LG will let US variants be unlocked. And with the impl lock we cant even crossflash the G8, so yea you are stuck with the sprint rom.
Your phone will update. Received August Security patch yesterday. Use ADB to remove Sprint bloat.
Any way to get WiFi calling to work on mint mobile using an unlocked Sprint G8?
I just received Android 10 update on LG G8. I'm on Total Wireless. The biggest thing is RCS is working now. It's a great update btw.
Apn issues

Just do reset to default with ##3282# and it will adjust to your current sim. Often mms needs that
After reset apn, my issues got resolved
