LG G8 [email protected] Android 10 update outside US... - LG G8 Questions & Answers

So I have my v35 actually going to be discarded, and I decided to buy a cheap G8 from [email protected] and I am confused about the Android 10 update... Some users reported that if the phone is on Pie and skip all the set-up for first time and connect to wifi without any sim card they have upgraded their phones to Android 10, other suggested that they changed the time zone and it worked eventually, others reported that they got a [email protected] sim card and they inserted and after a couple of minutes or hours the update will automatically downloaded.
As someone who live outside US I import my phones because they are way cheap than here in my country and I have enough knowledge of flashing software as I did with my v35 also that was or it is [email protected] But now I see that the Android 10 kdz is on the LG site for flash? As I had to or wanted to install Android 10 on the current v35 as it is unlocked I had to flash the korean version...
My question is if I can flash using LG bridge the current Android 10 kdz or it's not possible on the [email protected]? Or I need to buy the [email protected] sim card or how the heck it's the correct way to upgrade the phone? I have to sim unlock the phone first or should I have to do without sim unlock?

Sorry, there's basically no way to update. You can't cross flash, and at&t doesn't provide kdzs. The only way to is to buy an at&t sim, but you have to activate it, which costs like another $60, and you need to actually connect to at&t, which can be done practically nowhere outside of the us I think

Mmm even with the official page of LG having Android 10 kdz? They are listed as unknown and CAN, and some of them are listed as US too, just wondering if I had to do the same as I did with the v35, which also as being of at&t and unlocked it was never going to receive the Android 10 by ota. I just flashed the korean kdz and it worked and of course it is different.
https://lg-firmwares.com/es/lg-lmg820um-firmwares/
The thing about activating I guess I can't as I am outside USA and by $60 I could anyway it's way cheaper than paying retail prices here for $800

You can't cross flash, end of story. Lg put in new hardware locks against it

Ey pardon for insisting but... T-Mobile and Verizon are way easier to update or it's the same mess as at&t version? Saw a couple of them unlocked one of T-Mobile and the Verizon one seems black listed but for overseas in my case works.

I don't know if they work overseas when they're blacklisted; I wouldn't be too sure of that. Those variants should be fine because t mobile and Verizon provide kdzs, so you can always update manually

Yeah I asked on Reddit and people say T-Mobile updates ota and are on Android 10 and of course they advised me never again buy any at&t variant and even Verizon can update also ota.

Latest Software for -G710ULM?

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.

Nice! So the phone still unlocked and has latest sprint firmware? or G710ulm firmware 10g? I guess is this one

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.

Apologies for replying to an old thread, but I have one of these modded sprint g7 that shows G710ULM.

New LM-G820UM (AT&T) purchased from ebay. Using on T-Mobile and have update question

New LM-G820UM (AT&T) purchased from ebay. Using on T-Mobile and have update question
Hi all,
Grabbed a G8 Thinq for my son off ebay (which scared me but it was cheap). It's an AT&T variant but it's working just fine with T-Mobile. However, the security updates are from July and I'd like to update. I tried LG Bridge and get a "cannot check software version" error. Before I send this thing back I wanted to check here. I understand that OTA updates are super slow to arrived when you unlock and switch carriers but will I ever get one? Is there another way to update this thing?
I'm pretty Android savvy but just haven't messed around on here since my Nexus 6P days. Thanks!

AT&T is known not to release KDZs ever, and to only provide updates to postpaid AT&T customers. I assume that's true with G8 as well. I saw those unlocked AT&T G8 on eBay for $320, but I wouldn't expect any updates, nor would I expect warranty to be honored.

T-Mobile is pretty good with updates. I have T-Mobile V30 on Red Pocket GSMA (AT&T MVNO) and receive updates.
But T-Mobile phones are very hard to carrier unlock. They can only be unlocked with a T-Mobile Device Unlock app, which queries T-Mobile servers for approval. If the phone is relocked (such as after LG repair, or if you get a warranty replacement) you won't be able to unlock it again unless you're a T-Mobile customer and/or have had the phone on their service for some time (40 days postpaid, 1 year prepaid). It can't be unlocked with a code like other phones.
Like AT&T, Sprint also doesn't release KDZs, but as noted they are less restrictive about OTA updates. T-Mobile and Verizon release KDZs.
Carrier phones generally suck for the same reason that carriers generally suck: Everything they do is always designed to suck you

The T-Mobile V30 has official bootloader unlock, as the only North American carrier model. I believe the same was true with V20: Just Enable OEM Unlock in Developer Settings, boot into fastboot mode (Vol- while inserting cable with phone off) and enter fastboot oem unlock. The problem is the bootloader is neutered, with fastboot flash and fastboot boot commands stripped out. So even after BL unlock fastboot cannot be be used to flash or boot TWRP. But it still relaxes the secure boot chain. So once @runningnak3d found a way to flash TWRP using Download Mode (laf) we were golden.
Of course that laf vulnerability is long since fixed. And I am sure somebody must have already checked if the T-Mobile G8 has official bootloader unlock like earlier LG phones. Right? Or are we just assuming it doesn't because other carrier models don't? I only began following the G8 threads recently, so I wouldn't know.

Update to exploitable firmware?

Hello all,
I have an LG G8 on November firmware (I think) on Pie, not Android 10. I am looking to update to an exploitable firmware, but don't want to pay for AT&T service.
How do I go about doing this? I can see I can buy AT&T sim cards on eBay, but not sure what to go with.
My phone is also locked AT&T, but it looks like we don't have an unlocking solution yet. I know putting red pocket on the phone doesn't give me updates and still makes it so AT&T's unlock portal doesn't see my phone IMEI.

Unfortunately, there isn't really a way to do anything right now since the pie firmware isn't exploitable. The only thing you can do is try to call at&t tech support and have them add your imei to the update database

It looks like LG installs updates incrementally, so by purchasing an AT&T sim I think I can get to the exploitable firmware just by doing a couple updates. I'll post back once I get the sim

Can someone tell me what version of note 10 ive just brought?

Hi guys just got a new phone supposed to be uk unlocked sim free brand new.but its weird
The service provider sw ver dont look english to me
SPR/XAA/VZW
I have my ee sim card inserted and it works to make calls. But there is a weird notification saying OMADM activation not completed
Also says LTE on the screen something I've never heard of or seen here in england we use 4g volte.so I'm confused also the software for uk phones are BTU/BTU/BTU OR XEU/XEU/XEU
And last the box is weird as it says unlocked by Samsung and has a warming saying reproductive harm I was thinking wtf is this phone.
Also it says Qualcomm on the top on a sticker,we use xenox version england
Ps I brought it from Amazon uk

Today, we'll explain Samsung CSC codes. Besides, we also have a list of CSC codes or region codes with a method to change CSC on Samsung.
www.droidviews.com
Is it new?
Yes from amazon uk
So this phone cant be used here in England then other than making phone calls ?and how do I get uk firmware onto the phone?I'm a noob and not good with computers
Also changing the csc codes to uk what will that change?as we dont even have the snapdragon model in england?so would there even be uk firmware for an American phone?
Google tells me spr means sprint and that's the first code of the 3
Vzw looking on google means Verizon and that's the 3rd code so the phone was originally a Verizon locked phone.thats was unlocked and flashed with sprint fw, because the second csc code says xaa and apparently that means unlocked.
So what does this mean for me a uk user.luke I said in the uk our phones are BTU/BTU/BTU or XEU/XEU/XEU if there uk and unlocked

How can I flash uk xenox firmware onto an American snapdragon phone?.I'm a beginner when it comes to this.as I only buy uk phones as I'm in the uk and it seems complicated flashing stuff this handset is a u version and I want to make it the f version
You cannot flash UK firmware on your US phone.
Just return it to Amazon, claim full refund as the product is not as advertised: no UK unlocked version, not new. Also screenshot in post #8 refers to firmware of a Note 9, not a Note 10 (N960 is Note 9), this makes this phone even more suspicious...
Return it. There's a lot of bs going on with sellers of this phone. This has gotten really bad. Amazon, saw some deceptive advertising there recently for this model and the N20U.
Best to contact the seller on the phone first; no phone contact, don't use. Make sure you are given full specs on their site and it's compatible with your country/provider.
Buy only a new one if possible. Used ones may be running on Android 11, you don't want that!
I was able to find a reliable US vender and got a new umlocked 10+ 256gb/12gb Snapdragon about a week ago for $800. It was as advertised except due to its manufacturing date is running on Q not Pie. It's a keeper.

Oh sorry it's a note 9 i apologise.so if I cant change it to a uk firmware is the phone useless to use in the uk other than to call people?because my sim card works to make calls
Also OMADM activation not completed message is pissing me off
What does it even mean.i think my phone has sprint firmware on it?how can I change it to normal unlocked firmware so it's nothing to do with sprint I cant stant that OMADM ITS MAKING ME MAD
And Verizon is what I think the phone was originally.
Last thing the phone was sold as brand new sealed but it's not even in the correct box the phone I have is 128gb not 512gb
And it had a sealed sticker saying euro sim only but the phone is American? I think the box is fake ?as it looks nothing like any note 9 box I've ever seen
I'm going to try and flash the phone the phone is currently csc SPR/XAA/VZW boot loader 5 I've just downloaded android 10 also on bootloader 5 ovbisly the XAA VERSION will it work or can I only download and flash SPR FIRMWARE?
as I'm trying to get rid of the MADMEN activation not completed message

It's not impossible but if you are not experienced with better get it back, it doesn't worth the try, you can end by messing up completely.
I've flashed phones many many times before normally when I update the fw via ota and then regret it and need to downgrade back .this phone I just flashed but the start button wouldn't work because I was trying to flash XAA VERSION and not the SPR VERSION .I guess if I was to follow a guide on changing the csc from SPR TO XAA then flashing will work but what the point i wanted a uk brand new factory sealed sim free handset like I paid for
So this pos phone can go back to the scammer on amazon.its a discrace they are making fake seals on the boxes.using fake accessories and lieing saying the phones are uk.the average person would fall for this lies because the phone is unlocked my uk sim will work but you get that OMADM pop up and it's a nightmare.plus I doubt half the functionality will even work.

Any Guide to Unlock Bootloader or Change the Official ROM to a different one?

Hi there, so about few months ago like back in August, I got myself an LG Wing after LG announced that they were going to close the mobile division. I live in Malaysia and I asked help from a friend in India to help me get one and send it over.
After getting it in my hands, and after I inserted the SIM, it says Network locked. I bought the phone unlocked but it turns out, the phone needs to be used with a SIM from the same country, perform a 30 minutes call and then it would become unlocked.
Given that I stay in Malaysia, its impossible for me to travel all the way to India to unlock a phone. That said, is there any way I could perform either one of the following?
- Get the Unlock Pin to be able to use with other network?
- Change the India Official ROM with a different country ROM perhaps?
Thanks!

Currently no method (yet) to unlock bootloader and install ROMs or GSI images, unless you get lucky like one member did here and get a demo model that's already bootloader unlocked from factory

What are the steps to root a demo model? I am thinking to buy a demo model. It seems cheap.

You don't, unless you hopefully get lucky and its factory bootloader unlocked. There's no way (yet) to unlock the bootloader to root every lg wing, demo or not
Don't buy a demo model unless its just a phone to play with. Not a good every day use phone
