Hi everyone,
I just purchased an unlocked G7 ThinQ from B&H. I found that instead of the LG startup animation there was one by a company called "Claro." I'm looking for a way to flash the original LG Splash screen or skip over it entirely. I'm aware that I'll need to root the phone first and any guides of the sort are appreciated.
Model: LG-G710AWM
Hardware Version: Rev 1.0
Android Version: 8.0.0
Kernel Version: 4.9.65
tl:dr Please help me install an LG Splash Screen instead of the Claro one.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately that didn't solve my problem but now I have a new question;
Could downloading the official LG Firmware for my G710AWM be the answer? And would I have to root my phone to install firmware that came from LG?

Yeah you can use LG UP to install that firmware but it's a bit tricky to install. Also there's no root for your model since it's not unlockable.
Same Issue - Claro Startup Splash Screen
I have exactly the same issue. Only difference is I got my Lg G7 through Walmart. Anybody?
You could probably use of bridge to overwrite the "official" ROM with the one from the website. I got mine from Rogers but it has the lg splash screen. I think the only thing to worry about, if you flash the official firmware from lg, is the APN settings for your LTE. I have the same version as you though, as far as model and firmware and Android version. I wonder if maybe there is a flag you are missing. I've been researching this phone all month, and the best we can do is wait for lg to release pie. If lg bridge automatically downloads your ROM, you can just download the official from LG's website. There should be no reason why you can't at least use the official lg firmware to change the boot animation, cause that's about all we can do with this phone.
Idk maybe when pie is released they will make fast boot functional.

Thanks for the suggestions. While I'm kind of an expert on Windows, I'm not that familiar with the technical aspects of smartphones and android. Certainly don't want to brick the new phone. Might just wait for pie and see what happens. Guess I can live with the splash screen since no indication that it impacts functionality. I was just hoping that there was some easy way different cell phone providers could put their logos on the splash screen since I've seen images of the Lg G7 being powered up with various splash screens showing.
Thanks again.

The lg tools are super easy to follow if you can read instructions, but yeah, it's just a splash screen.

Man I even don't understand how is it possible to make from good device, piece of sh* *t.
But LG Know How
Why they spending time of developer's to remove root possibilities and after that adding LG modified bootloader unlock procedure.
I believe if LG DEVELOPER'S was not spending time for removing root possibilities and was Customizing BootLoader Unlock Process, everything was done until this moment, when users want to root the device, but it's impossible by Official Way.
All respected companies using stock android bootloader unlock procedure, like alkatel and others, or already made his costume BL unlock procedure, like Sony...
Only LG have this problem, like with my Old Optimus 3D, I needed to flash customs BootLoader, because stock one cannot be unlocked, simply to flash other staffs like costume Recovery or Kernel.
I sent a massage to LG and they suggested me to search on XDA, exactly not LG Support, LG FUN CLUB responded to my question
And it's A Class Smartphones manufacturer.
How it's possible to make ordinary smartphone with Quallcom Chipset, most respected company making Smartphones Chips.
They making the best CPU's, GPU's and modem chips in the Earth.
And after that Coming LG and removing fastboot mode...
Why?
Like I already said to LG: "It's very very bad decision to remove FASTBOOT Mode.
And I believe it's my last LG Device."
If I'm not wrong, Bernard Shaw said: "Those who appreciates Security more than Freedom, don't deserve nothing".

And I have Original LG Quick Cover, with this protection it looks even better.
But bootloader unlock and rooting problems, for me personally, close all his strong sides ?

Android Nougat update.

I found this information here.
I know that is not 100% possible, but it's 2016 model, it's not old device, so I think it will receive Nougat
And also I suggest to look at this Google Request.
Custome ROM!
Like any Smart Developr, before working with some device I'm checking if this device will receive android update!
Because if our LG K10 will receive Nougat Update, ALL MY WORK WITH MARSHMALLOW WILL BE LOST ?
My opinion.
I was thinking why LG K 10 with MEDIATEK Chipset can be rooted and with QUALCOM no opportunity to get root.
And it's showing LG Developer's incompetence.
From my own experience I know that is much more difficult work with MEDIATEK Devices, that's why I don't released Cris Kelo Rom for Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo.
I taken latest Samsung Firmware for this device, rooted it, fixed it to work with Xposed, but after that I got Rom Full of Small bugs.
And when I was fixing one bug I was getting one or sometimes two new bugs, finally I was mad with this Piece of Mediatek technology and gifted it, after that I purchased this Piece of LG K10 Device…
What is the point?
For me it's normal that I can't make something, I'm not Professional Program Engineer, I'm Amateur Developer and LG Corporation Must Have Competent Program Engineer's, they must know how to make the same android on both Chipsets…

We absolutely need you here sir! I am waiting for Nougat from a long time! I worked a lot on this device. So I naturally made the decision of waiting for Nougat because this device is completely locked down and moreover I don't even the firmware file for my phone (LG K420DS, Same processor as LG K420N but 2 GB RAM).

I also waiting for Nougat Update, then will try my best to make something.
But until update is released we must insist that LG must make Android Update With UNBLOCKABLE BOOTLOADER AND ACCESS TO FASTBOOT MODE.
It will be much better official way to root it and unlock bootloader than some our invents ?
After that it will be very easy to customize Kernel, Recovery and System ?
LG Must be joking ?
Was searching other time for root or unlock bootloader and decided to take a look how many LG devices can be officially unlocked bootloader.
There only 4 devices, Man it's ridiculous ?
OFFICIAL LG BOOTLOADER UNLOCK
It's some kind of joke, can I laf now?

LAF is the only way.
But if you are rooted then you are on the safe side.
Then we can root easily

I have boringly used an LG G4 for almost two years now. Just after a few months of using it, I had the bootloop issue, LG gave me another G4 which I've been using for more than a year. But I believe it is time to unlock the true potential of my phone. I've transferred all my pics and vids and similar stuff to my computer, so now it's go time. The only thing is... I don't know what to do.
Model number: LG-H815TR
Android version: 6.0
Android security patch level: 2017-03-01
Kernel version: 3.10.84
Build number: MRA58K
Software version: V20i-TUR-xx
These are the info I think are relevant. I have no experience in rooting whatsoever. What do I do now? (an up-to-date detailed guide also works for me)
Hey,
I still need help for this.
I've checked online and couldn't find anything for H-815TR v20i running Marshmallow.
Can someone come to my rescue?

It's very easy:
You can't unlock your device because LG allows unlocking of the 815 international version and 811 only.
Marshmallow can be rooted on unlocked devices only (so not on yours).
If you really need root you need to downgrade to lollipop.
Downgrading to LL requires a compatible anti roll back version. Search the forum for the code which displays your current antirollback version and the how-to for downgrading and rooting LL
.
Sent from my LG-H815 using XDA Labs
Oh okay.
So I can't root my phone as is, I need to downgrade to Lollipop to do that.
Well I was thinking of flashing some custom ROMs and maybe underclocking for more battery life but given that this is my only smartphone I'd better stick to its current state then.
find the service menu for your phone. Google lg g4 service menu. call that number. check anti roll back version (last entry) if 0 you should be ok to downgrade, if not 0 downgrade will likely brick your device.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803
read carefully and ask a any questions before using LGUP if unsure
after that you can root with https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586
or upload your img file and kindly ask someone to root it for you and re-upload it
Anti-rollback version is 0.

All the 6.1 billion don't own this phone lol. Even when LG K10 (2016) was released, I could release the bootloader unlock with the help of my friend after a year .i.e this February/March 2017.
After that I built TWRP for K10 for Qualcomm models and made it official. They are achievements. Now, we are working on LineageOS/Resurrection Remix Nougat versions for K10 (2016) Qualcomm even though LG has not released any Nougat related stuff for K10 (2016) Indian and European Models. There is lot of time being spent for building, testing ROMS and other stuff even if LG officially doesn't support bootloader unlock.
If you have the will, then search forums on XDA for similar SoC your phone has and then find out how they have unlocked their bootloader if their company doesn't support it officially. It is one of the best ways to learn how Android works too.

How to unbrick hard brick lgk10
I have a hard bricked lg k10 no dowload, no charging, nothing, I was trying to downgrade so i could root it (because of the damned 2017 february update) lg up asked if i wanna change the partition ( I think it was the laf partition) and ended up hard bricked. So I read and read here on the forums and saw that others had unbrick hard bricks with qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 mode but there was no info on how to test point/ short point the lgk10 cpu to get this mode so I started downloading images of other lgs motherboard phones that showed the test points and with a little bit of logic and patience I found it. So now I achived qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 mode and I know I have to flash the cpu with qfil or similar flash loader (there are a few of them) in order to get download mode back but im lost on how to do this with the lgk10. I have read all of the other post where they do this with a number of different lgs and but im lost. Some of the flash loaders ask for firehose file I dont know what is this but I tried with firehose msm8916 (that is the model of the cpu) but no luck.
I know how to flash the kdz with lg up I just need dowload mode again.
Im guessing I have to extract some files from the kdz with lg firware extractor, compile them and flash them with the cpu flasher but ,how do I do this? Im lost
Can you guide me on the process? Wich tools do I need?
Hi. Yesteday I finally decided to install the update that was popping up on my screen for the last month nearly. So yeah after the update the phone would not detect my SIM, so I tried restarting a couple of times, putting airplane mode on and off a few times, changing sim cards to make sure it wasnt the sim, but yeah nothing. Its would be very weird for it to be the SIM socket when I hadnt even touched it and its only having this problem after updating.
So I went on to LG-Firmwares and flashed with LG-UP a couple of firmwares (took me 5 hours, because i bricked the phone in the first try) and well after succesfully flashing other offitial ROMS SIM Cards are still not detected....

HI,
I bought a Sprint Unlocked LG G8 , love the phone, but it stuck at g820u10i 2019 firmware , ota doesnt work , it just tells me Im already up to date , I reside overseas but I can buy a sprint sim from eBay if that works (maybe it is similar to the att ones?) .
Also sprint doesnt releases their kdz´s so thats another problem , I would like to know if theres a way to get the official otas directly from the phone .
I have already tried setting it up without the sim card , and then turning on wifi and it didnt work.
Any help would be appreciated , cheers.
Tried with LG Bridge and LG Support , powered on and in download mode.
Still nothing
LG Bridge says that couldnt find the device
LG Support Tool says that the device is up to date
I have the same problem
i try to cross flash the latest US OP KDZ (G820UM20j_00_USC_US_OP_0607) or CA OP KDZ(G820UM20j_00_OPEN_CA_OP_0120) on the phone but the LG UP will mention not allow to change a US sprint to US OP(CA OP) and could not proceed the flashing.

@ThatLatinGuy if you're out of the country, no reason to want to keep Sprint firmware so might as well crossflash it to a rom that might work where u are.

Hi,
Not been around here since the days of the S3.
Anyhow, recently picked up a dual sim LG G7 thinq mostly for use a backup phone.
It's a LM-G710EMW model, of which there seems to be precious little information compared to over versions.
LG Bridge doesn't seem to work in Mac anymore, but when it did it told me there were no updates for my model.
Currently it's stuck on Android 8.0.0. Are there no official updates for this at all?
Software version is listed as V10d-LAO-YT
Hi
you can download firmware here https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-lmg710emw-firmwares/ Which exactly I cant tell because you didnt provide more info from version page (csc maybe imei).
You can flash it via LGUP (im not sure about mac compability) by this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-how-to-flash-stock-firmware-and-re-lock-bootloader.3820888/ (you need to follow first half)
Thanks. Strangley almost everything related to finding out the CSC is for Samsung devices.
Anyhow, looking at the IMEI the 7th and 8th number are 09, which according the only table I could find is India. Sounds about right, but doesn't seem to be any way to confirm it.
