I can't update my G7 - LG G7 ThinQ Questions & Answers

Hi friends, I have a problem on my G7, can't update to the march patch, it fail everytime. (I attach a screen of the error).
Recently i unlock the bootloader and root my phone.
Then I have notice that my friend's phone update to this version: V20o-MAR-23-2020 while my phone should update to V20j-MAR-19-2020, I think the problem is the different letter after "V20".
Anyone have a solution?
Thanks

The V20o is from TIM carrier and probably other carriers. The V20j is from OpenEU. U can google it to check it, i did in 2 min.

Time to root my LG G4 H-815TR v20i. What do I do?

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
.

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.

maybe your phone its not a h815. says it is but motherbpard could be another variant. maybe am just guessing . but could be the reason.

I'm having the same problem with my LG G4.
It has the software version V20d-GLOBAL-COM.
I've seen that someone has solved it by updating via LG Bridge. But when i tried that it always says "Cannot check the software version. Try again.".
Can i just update with LG UP to V20G-EUR? And will that solve that problem?
Exactly the same issue as the topic poster with a recently received refurbished LG H815 (from Aliexpress), the blue case uncheck right after I tick inside. the case.

So it is impossible to enter fastboot in Adb command (I want to install a custom recovery as TWRP), what is quite strange is that Adb (when typing "Adb devices") just see the device as "LGH811xxxxxxxx device" ... Why LG H811 if it is LG H815 ???
I tried everything, messed up with many Adb interface drivers for windows.
Even tried to flash to Stock Rom with LG Flashtool and LGUP, by downloading LG H815 TOT files and KDZ files...and neither it is working.
Should I try with LG H811 TOT files and KDZ files...each file is quite big (1.6 Gb) ? And where to find reliable related files for H811 ?
Thanks for who could help us....
I have just found a way, just published it..

Cannot get system upgrade for G710ULM

I got my new unlocked G7 from ebay. I cannot get any over-the-air software update. I am using it in T-Mobile have no problem of using wi-fi calling, and HD calling.
Its software version is still G710ULM11g, Security patch level is Nov 1, 2018.
The Hardware info: Model number: LM-G710ULM, but the S/N displays nothing in it.
Any suggestion how to upgrade the software?
You need to upgrade manually.your phone most likely was sprint and the seller flashed with ulm software thats why you cannot update ota.
Use this procedure on this thead

No S/N, Its a cross flashed variant. Flash manually. But if you wanna fix S/N you have to send it to LG authorized service center:fingers-crossed:
You can use your IMEI to get the right firmware. https://lg-firmwares.com/series/lg-g7-thinq/ search here. Flash it manually using lg up

Like the others have said, more than likely it was a Sprint phone (g710PM) flashed to a g710ULM. Go to IMEIPro or a similar IMEI checking site, enter your IMEI, and most likely it'll say g710PM. Literally just went thru this 2 days ago with a phone from Ebay, but I'm sending the phone back. Seller never disclosed it and I don't want to bother with some of the potential issues/shortcomings. Like they also said, you should be able to flash other roms on it, but be aware that future over the air updates are not going to happen, and others have had varying levels of success with getting Google Pay to work on the phone. This might be no big deal, but just putting it out there. Good luck dude.

I am in the same boat as yours, got it from ebay said new ULM, it even has sticker with ULM marked on it. But now I checked, it is g710PM. Too bad its too late to return. Next time, I won't buy phone unlock in ebay.

I checked it original is g710PM. Can I just directly flash the latest ULM firmware on it?
Hi,
I also bought one of the PM to ULM crossflashed phones from eBay.
I managed to flash newest ULM firmware, but still have the missing S/N issue and the phone is not passing Safetynet CTS check. So I can‘t install Netflix on the phone.
Has anybody a solution to fix theses Issues? Manual flashing instead of OTA is no problem, but Safetynet sucks.

How did you flash the latest firmware and are there any side effects besides netflix?
Can you provide a link to the thread if there is one for flashing this.

I tried my IMEI its not in the DB 8(
I searched several different imei sites and didn't gain any success. The ulm I got was straight from a reputable distributor(sealed in box) as a carrier unlocked phone. I'm wanting to get back in to development after about 10 years hiatus.
I have however enabled "OEM unlock" in developer settings on the phone, so that's at least a good step forward.

Well---I went back to 20f because of WiFi calling. I had flashed the Canadian 30d (AWM)--worked very well everywhere but no WiFi calling. I live where there is little to no signal, so........
I would be interested if the EU rom has that......

Well---I could backup the phone & try it.....Happy with the WiFi calling right now, so I'll wait a bit. Would REALLY like to see a ULM 10 upgrade though.......Most of the other models have already got it---why not this one?
did anyone ever figure out how these sellers have ‘new in box’ sealed box g7’s that have 710ULm barcode on the box and all
But are sprint g7 variants
Is this something lg did as a refurb type tactic themself and sent them out
Like sprint overstock and they dumped em off to resellers ....

Unlock ATT Note10+ 5G update outside USA (SM-N976U)

Hello,
I am new to the unlocking stuff.
I just bought a used ATT Note10+ 5G in Malaysia, model SM-N976U
However the security patch was stuck in May 2020. It could not be updated over the internet or Smart Switch PC.
It says it is the latest s/w (the latest should be July 2020)
I checked Sammobile and discovered 2 firmware updates : USA(TMK) and USA (T-mobile)(TMB)
(tried to include sammobile link here but was disallowed due to new user status)
Which firmware is suitable for my phone?
Is there a way to unlock ATT and receive the normal monthly security update over the internet automatically?
(i saw Odin in youtube and have basic idea how to flash it)
Appreciate any advice. Thank you

A thread already exists with the answers to your questions.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10+/how-to/att-note-10-5g-n976u-firmware-files-t4059721
No unbranded firmware version exists as of yet.. so you will have to flash a carrier specific firmware.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81981925&postcount=3
Thank for for the link provided.
Based on the link information, i can download the 4 base files from sammobile (either TMK or TMB) and add USERDATA ATT N976USQS3BTF4 to flash it.
Is that correct?
I could find USERDATA ATT N976USQS3BTF4 in easy-firmware website with a purchase fee.

Hi SCitta,
Fellow Malaysian having the same problem as you. But my problem now is that I have Odin and the latest firmware (XAA) but Odin is showing failed to establish connection. How did you do it with yours?
Am using the AT&T version of the Note 10+.

Never experienced the failed connection before.
Have you installed the SAMSUNG-drivers ? The Samsung Smart Switch PC installation might help to fix the drivers.
Hello everyone I am Malian and I live in Mali I recently bought a n976U locked by at & t since when I was putting a chip from an operator from here I was getting network unlock code So I looked for a way to unlock it for free if possible its like that I stumbled across your forum and read your posts and saw the code * # 272 * Imei # like we could try to change d 'operator with therefore when I put my chip it says "Invalid Sim card inserted" if I try to retype * # 272 * ... # it comes out nothing I'm lost please help me s 'please if possible of course Thank you
#123
Just want to share my experience in this. Bought an ATT N976U from the US and using in Malaysia. Phone came with XAA/XAA/ATT and never received OTA updates.
Downloaded Google phone app and changed CSC to TMB/TMB/ATT using *#*#27262826#*#*
Voila. Received the OTA updates one by one since May2020. Am now on N976USQU5EUC2.
Volte is also working on Celcom.
Did not have to flash firmware. Data not wiped. Everything seemed to be working normal apart from "Tips and Help" in settings crashes every time I click it. Also phone boots with T-Mobile logo now.

LM-G710EMW update from Android 8

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.
