I've got a brand new 'unlocked' LG G3 D851 from ebay, IMEI# confirmed by TMobile, and it's on 4.4.2.. . Everything works, 4G LTE, wifi calling, etc. and it did couple small OTA updates from TMobile, but won't do any more updates, showing 'System is up to date'. I've already tried hard resetting the device, installed LG support tool software, still showing the 'system is up to date' with the old firmware# need some help with this, thanks in advance.

probably it is because after while they stop giving updates since a new one to marshmallow is in the works
I sure hope so... but tmobile tech said that the newer updates are still available, just not sure why my G3 wouldn't get them.
With the support tool open, select the options button, then choose upgrade recovery.
I recently bought a used LG G4 H81510h but it was in tip-top condition (although I only got the handset, nothing else). I have question/complaint. The phone is running Android Version 5.1 Lollipop with the build number being LMY47D. I looked at the specifications of the phone online and found out that it is supposed to get Marshmallow as well. But whenever I go to the Software Update section in the settings menu, it states that my phone is up to date. The person who sold it to me also said that he didn't get any updates by the time he had it. My set is not rooted and doesn't have it's bootloader unlocked or anything. I really want to updgrade, can you help me out here? I've tried the LG Flash Tool 2014, LG Bridge and the LG Support Tool but nothing worked for me. Each had it's own problem. The .kdz file (20A) doesn't install. Please halp, I'm primarily asking because I can't unlock the bootloader either, the OEM Unlock option in the Developer Options doesn't work no matter how many times I try to enable it, it stays disabled.
Hello Members,
I will start with a bit of a back story. I ordered a G4 H815 off ebay and the seller information showed it is coming from Hong Kong. Upon arrival, I checked the phone's hardware using CPU-Z and everything seemed fine. The back plate and the about section of the phone both said the phone is H815 model. The android version of the phone was 5.1 so I tried checking for the phone update through ota but it said there are no updates available. So I started searching on the internet for a H815 image file to update to Nougat but I found that Nougat is not available for the 815 model. So I searched and downloaded MM build for the 815 model (H81520b). I flashed it and then later bricked my phone. Sometimes the display stayed blank, sometimes it worked but the radio of the phone never worked. Now after flashing, the phone's about changed the model number to H818. After extensive research and digging through XDA I found that the phone I got is a F500 version refurb (LG or someone did a big scam here). So I downloaded the F500L20c image and flashed it and it fixed my phone.
Later when I checked with imei tracker websites, I found out that my model is F500S and although the L built worked fine for me, the network was very unstable. In order to fix this I downloaded the nougat built for F500S (F500s30b). It flashed perfectly on my phone but I got many errors on startup, so I decided to flash it again but with the refurbish option on the LGUP. The flash started like normal but got stuck at 38% and gives the error 0x2000. After that my phone only boots up to download mode. I tried many times using the refurbish and upgrade option, with the previous and other different kdz's but no success to any of my tries. Any help here would be appreciated.

It worked! Thanks!!
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.

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.

Sprint devices support FOTA Update only!
LG bridge does not support Software Update for Sprint devices

Does this also unlock the APN settings? G710pm, gsm carrier unlocked, but does not allow APN to be changed.

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?
