Possibly stupid question from a novice. I have a G7 ThinQ (LM-G710VM) which I bought from Verizon. I switched to Mint Mobile (uses T-Mobile towers) and need to use Wi-Fi Calling due to signal strength issues. Mint Wi-Fi calling doesn't work on the Verizon version of the phone. Is it possible to load the T-Mobile firmware on this phone? Or the LG Stock Firmware? If so, could someone point me to a thread that discusses this. I've been unable to find the right one if it exists. Thanks in advance for your patience and help.
You should look at changing your VoLTE settings possibly. As for easy crossflashing of firmware, I did this last night and it is simple, no need to unlock bootloader etc. Only issue is it does not do t-mobile, but a generic rom may work.

I bought a LG G3 here at Brazil (version D855P), but when I flash the European firmware (UK or Germany), it doesn't get the HSPA+ technology, just the HSPA. It's a lower connection velocity, so, I want to know why does that happen.
And how I can solve this problem, because I didn't find anywhere how to flash different modems on the G3, if that was going to solve anything...
I want to do this kind of change because of the carrier customization on the phone, that I managed to get rid off some things, but remains the wallpaper and home page of the browser.
Waiting for the replies, thank you.
I would like to install the Korean (specifically SK Telecom model) variant of the firmware, the F400S, on my AT&T G3, the D850.
Reason I ask is because I brought my AT&T G3 phone to Korea and was able to get on SK Telecom's network. But little quirks like not being able to use hotspot tethering, visual voicemail, and access to SK Telecom specific appstore is becoming a hassle.
Would it be advisable to flash my D850 with F400S firmware? Anyone ever tried this or have any insight into this matter?
Much appreciate it. Thanks.
Hey guys, I've been into rooting and installing custom ROMs on android phones for a while now. I have an LG G3 AS985. This is a phone through a local Wisconsin carrier called Cellcom. They use they're own CDMA network and then use Verizon's network for data. I am having some trouble finding information about this specific model phone and have noticed that a lot of the ROMs for the G3 seem to be model specific. Does anyone know if other ROMs will work on this phone without destroying my carrier data. The phone is stuck on 4.4.2 and I would love to have Lollipop on it. Thanks for any help guys.
Were you able to flash KDZs from VS985 on it?
Hello everyone, I am unaware if this is possible, or not. If I have a Lg G7 that I've bought outright from T-mobile, and can be used with any phone carrier, am I able to root it as an unlocked factory unit? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Only LG g7 from Europe (g710EM models) can be bootloader unlocked. Also the T-Mobile model has been known to cause problems with whatever custom development is going on here.
As a normal stock phone it's ok. It's just not development friendly
I bought the phone "LG G7 thinQ" through Ebay it supposed to be unlock to any carrier, however model is LM-G710VM and is lock to Verizon US.
I can't use it with Rogers network.
Can someone advise me how to change the firmware to ULM so it will be unlock.
Thank you. Henry

I have the same problem and i did some research and to my best knowledge (but havent tried yet) all you need to do is download LGUP 1.15 or higher and then you can use that to flash a different firmware on you LG. Let me look for the post again and i will post that link on here. Im currently having problems getting my G710VM to show up on ADB devices or i would of already tried that.

No sim unlock available for G710VM. Use my thread to unlock your G710VM bootloader by crossflashing to a ULM kdz.

If you just want to crossflash to another kdz to see if your data and sim works use this thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/how-to/cross-flash-oreo-pie-firmwares-lg-g7-g7-t3915303
