Hi everyone, I want to order myself a LG G8 (G820UM) on AliExpress, the seller says that it is highly likely to be an AT&T version. So I'm in a very big doubt, if I will be able to get any software/firmware updates without AT&T SIM and network (I'm in Europe)...
I don't say about crossflashing, I need just to be sure if this phone will get Android 10. Soon or later, doesn't really matter.
Maybe it's better to take G7+ G710EAW, which is also great, and not bother myself so much?
You should... I got a second hand unlocked lg820um here in Honduras (Central America) and I've been getting regular updates (basically security updates) just fine
Hi,
No, unfortunately you will not be able to receive OTA updates from AT&T without having registered and active SIM card on AT&T network...
I have an AT&T LG G8 (G820UM1), I am outside of USA and cannot receive OTA updates even with AT&T SIM card in my phone.

Hi! That's cool!
Now... About updates I have no idea bud, I forced android 10 on mine with a beta ROM and now I'm stuck with it without any new future updates but mine came from Sprint, maybe you should google the final ROM for AT&T and try to force it yourself, believe me, it's worth it!

There's a surprisingly easy guide out there in google using an app called "Activity Launcher" but as you said, it only works on the Sprint model I couldn't find a guide or file for the AT&T one.

I don't think that they have started really pushing out Marshmallow yet, but there are some leaked builds floating around. Check this thread out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3249803 Someone can probably help you in that thread. I have Verizon so I'm unable to flash any of those builds, so I don't know much about the process. I do believe you have to have root though (may be wrong).
It also depends on what version of the G4 that you have. What carrier are you on?

Download LG bridge and install it. Plug in the phone and click on software update. I'm in UK with h815 also and there was an update for marshmallow in there, although for various reasons I downgraded again to lollipop. When I checked again to see if the update was there, it wasn't. So do keep checking. Hope it helps
Im in UK as well. Is your G4 factory Unlocked or on a carrier. So far as I know, of the carriers only Vodaphone UK have started rolling MM out... but the likes of EE, 3, O2.. Virgin.. will probably come after xmas now. Im on EE myself and i dont hold any hope seeing MM till early January.
Goto "Settings" > "General" tab > "About Phone" > "Software Info."... if the software version is: v10J-EUR-XX, then its factory unlocked and you could get MM any time now.
Hope that helps
you will need to wait until it comes to your door step.

LG Up 1.15 is out there, but we don't have a working common. DLL file. The V40 has one, maybe that will work, but either way it's risky. Reading that the V35 lost radio signal when crossflashed.
Let's wait patiently. Don't try, it is very possible you will be able brick your BEAUTY!
I'm just fine with latest 11m update which brings 4K 60 fps Super Steady Mode. Also incredible battery life. 9 hours with 13% left.

Using LG V50 Korean KT version in UK (LM-V500N)
Hi All,
I have the LG V50 Korean KT version LM-V500N and have been using it in the UK on the Vodafone Network. Unfortunately it doesn't appear to connect to the 5G service.
Does anyone know if there is a limitation or incompatibility on this version as the reason it doesn't work with 5G?
My SIM is and 5G coverage is ok as I have also used a Samsung 5G and it works with my SIM.
I haven't yet tried an EE 5G SIM to see if it works on that network.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

EE doesnt work also.How is the korean version ?I am thinking to buy one from wonda.
Thanks for confirming EE 5G doesn't also work. I went to an EE shop and asked them to check if my V50 would work by inserting a 5G SIM but they refused. Most unhelpful staff.
I really like the V50, upgraded from V30 which I also really liked. Only problem is some KT specific menu are still Korean language.
There is one menu called GIGA 5G when enabling asks for KT SIM to be inserted.
Once it is possible to crossflash with open Europe firmware might fix this I hope. Also maybe 5G in Europe?
Thanks

You can try with lgup 1.16.0.3 and common dll 1.40. This LGUP does not permit for korean crossflashing, we dont know for EU/Australia. Try it using refurbished.
Well it can't be done.
Very disappointed I brought this to replace my note 9 and I cannot believe lg is still on July patch. At the moment they are a big joke in the phone world.

It seems that LG is pushing the 10 beta to all koreans vi aota update.
To be able to receive it you must sign in in Quick Help app.
Unfortunately we have 2 problems:
1. Korean menu
2. We need a Korean lg account. I've tried creating one, also Facebook login, but it signs out me. Unfortunately I don't have the time to test with VPN. Also after successfully login we still need to go through the menu in korean language and sign in for the beta.
Maybe someone from Korea would help us. Maybe he can directly saveand give us the OTA. It will be downloaded on the main storage in a hidden folder.
Please help us if you live in Korea either with an account and menu step by step to subscribe to beta, or with the OTA saved as zip. Thx.

I was able to sign up for an LG account using a Google account so I am able to navigate the Quick Help app. But since I don't know Korean, I have been taking screenshots and using Google Translate to try to navigate. It's painful and slow and I have yet to find anything. I wonder if the OTA simply gets pushed over time after you sign up in the Quick Help app. I've tried using a VPN to South Korea and checking for an update manually in the system settings but nothing has popped up. I may try to find some one locally that speaks Korean to help me out, unless some one already knows what to do in the Quick Help app?

Hello. It depends on what carrier your V50 will be. You should flash the carrier's one. For KT and U carriers you must be on v11o - September patch
For SKT carrier it will be v11q. But Kan, who has SKT, is having problems in installing it. Just be sure you don't upgrade to October patch by mistake.
LG-UP 1.16 does not support crossflashing, even korean carrier.

Every carrier? What? I know of 3 versions of a11 for the G8; 1) the korean Open 2) The Verizon version 3) The Canadian Open.
Hardly 'every carrier'. Updates are coming, slowly, and there is no guarantee any one individual carrier will update their software. That's an LG issue really, they have contracts with carriers with various stipulations that can affect say US Open version, which supposedly can't be updated unless all the other carriers update theirs first. It's complicated.
Call t-mobile, they can tell you when / if an update will be available. And of course, there's always the issue of what you've done to your phone. If you do something like unlock the bootloader, you won't get an update even if there is one.

Every carrier? What? I know of 3 versions of a11 for the G8; 1) the korean Open 2) The Verizon version 3) The Canadian Open.
Hardly 'every carrier'. Updates are coming, slowly, and there is no guarantee any one individual carrier will update their software. That's an LG issue really, they have contracts with carriers with various stipulations that can affect say US Open version, which supposedly can't be updated unless all the other carriers update theirs first. It's complicated.

ATT has also released A11 ? I've seen in some forums that it has.
For what it's worth on reddit T-Mobile users are saying they're getting the update. I can't speak for myself because I'm using a custom rom but yeah...it's out there

Actually, that's not the US Open variant, that's the CCA variant. I'm not sure what the difference is, maybe someone can elaborate.
The lg firmware site has it listed as the US Open, but download and compare the hash tags, they don't match. But if you download the CCA version the hash will match.
I've actually never heard of CCA before, it's Competitive Carriers Association, I've heard of BrightPoint, etc, but not cca. Until someone tries it, we're not sure which carriers it's compatible with re volte and vowifi type stuff.

My phone is originally BrightPoint. I flashed the US OPEN listed on the lg firmware site, hoping that it wouldn't throw up an NT ID error, but it does :-(
Additionally VoWiFi worked with the Canadian Open but it's not working with this rom. The default email app is also missing in the US version.
The software version shows as V30c-USA-XX, with a security patch of Dec '21.

Interesting that it's not working vowifi and nt error code, that should absolutely not be the case if it was the USA version, no way. At least not if you're here in the states.
Where are u using it? Canada? That might be at least part of the reason, have you ever used the a10 US Open there? How did that work?

Sorry for not clarifying earlier, I'm using the phone in India
To get volte and vowifi to work, I change the target region & country to ESA and operator to OPEN in cust.prop. And i also edit the carrier_code, telephony and vo_config files to contain details of the networks in India.
VoLTE has worked with many A10 roms, but VoWiFi worked for the first time with the A11 Canadian Open.
PS - Since I need an unrooted phone for Microsoft apps such as Outlook and Teams, I uninstall magisk after making these configuration changes.
