Hi all
purchased a phone from an online store in AUS which claimed to be a sm-n910F note 4 but had hacked software, after some help from this site it was identified as being an Verizon SM-910V in cognito, long story short flashed it with original sm-n910V software, when it starts its says Verizon and works fine on the Australian network. I plugged it into KIES and upgraded to Marshmallow firmware but I am one of the 900 Million phones that has the QUALCOMM vulnerability and I want to patch it when the security patch is released in september but when I go to use the software update on the phone it says this service is temporarily unavailable assuming because its looking for the Verizon network and I am on virgin residing in Australia. When I go into KIES it tells me there is a firmware upgrade but its trying to install the full Marshmallow firmware again. Anybody know of a way to trick the phone into thinking its on the Verizon network so it will download updates or could I simply grab the security download when its released and install directly to the phone via ODEN. Lesson never buy a phone that's coming from over seas its a real headache if you end up with something dodgy, thanks to anybody who can offer advice

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

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.

Thanks so much for confirming. Now I have to decide if I should risk this to get it working or just return..

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.

Did you manage to make a detailed post regarding the steps to do this ? or if you can point me to one.
Thanks.
i downloaded the latest LM-G710ULM pie kdz and it has worked perfectly with the sprint thinq
Apologies for replying to an old thread, but I have one of these modded sprint g7 that shows G710ULM.
Could someone be able to be kind enough to list out the steps used to manually upgrade the stock android 8 up to android 9 please?

Wifi on lg g7
Anyone have problem with wifi on lg g7 yet???? My phone of sprint , g710ulm21e alway disconnect and reconnect . Some one can help me. When i play game , wifi is no problem. So crazy
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!
