Well, I thought buying this phone would end my terrible relationship with ATT's Note 4 for good... Hell it's even an H815 for christ sakes....
But it seems like it can't be rooted on MM due its bootloader being locked :/
Yes, I did try using the official unlock tool but, as some of you know it doesn't work for the Taiwan version (Just my luck).
However, I looked around and saw that the Lollipop version can have root/twrp installed WITHOUT unlocking the bootloader.
In conclusion, my question is............. will I be able to downgrade from MM to Lollipop?
(H815 Taiwan Version)

From what I know the H815 model can be unlocked. But I think it's only the International one. There's an unofficial unlock in the works, just look around on the forums, haven't been that interested 'cause I'm rocking an International model

I tried using the Official unlock tool but, it doesn't support the Taiwan version, even though it's an H815 :/
I did see that an unofficial tool is in the works but I mean....I just came from an ATT note 4 ........
...........I've been playing the wait game ever since November of 2014......

Lollipop, or LP, is version 5.1. Just look at the KDZ files that are Android 5.1
Nope.

Yes, don't worry. Just wait 2-3 hours, I'm preparing for going to work. I have them in my work laptop. Also something interesting, It seems V40 android pie can be easily crossflased with lg up 1.15 cmd line. More info on v40 xda forum.
LG UP 1.16 + common dll - zip archive
https://www.mediafire.com/file/45m2vcki69233y3/lg_up_1.16.zip/file
LG UP 1.15 - for use with cmd line. LG V40 with android pie supports crossflashing with it. we only miss the right common.dll
https://www.mediafire.com/file/9m1nbrmdvnqf1nh/lg_up_1.15.zip/file
UI Counfig for V40
Instructions:
1. Copy the "UI_Config.lgl" file into "*\LGUP\Common" folder
2. Change the file's properties and make it "Read-only" (should already be there)
3. Ignore the "can't open new file" warning by LGUP 1.16
We now have the confirmation that this common dll is working with UP 1.16 for our V50

Also Android 10 beta is fully working!

So now that LGUP recognizes the V50, is it possible for someone to download the stock firmware and add the missing adb commands or patch Magisk into the stock firmware then flash it through LGUP?

What Korean carrier firmware do you have? U, SK or KT?
Until there you could flash the U firmware, than update to v11n version, then side load Ota of the Android 10 with LG-UP 1.16 to go and test Android 10. See above link and use Google translate.
If I'm not wrong, it will be this (please double check) :
https://lg-firmwares.com/downloads-file/20522/V500N11n_00_LGU_KR_OP_0823.kdz
Now regarding the Magisk. I find it hard to inject it in the firmware as they are signed by lg with encryption... I'm not sure, I may be wrong. Is it possible?
P. S just bought another v50 today from ebay for $699. Let's see if I'm lucky not to pay Vat tax. Ditched the second screen as it seems not for me. It was for a friend the phone.
I saw you have the same model KT as mine.
Did you disabled these apps like I did?

I would love to try Android 10 but were not sure of this phone has anti-rollback feature. Which means if I upgrade and then root is possible on Android pie, I'm screwed. So i'll wait on that.
I have the unlocked SKT carrier running on T-Mobile. There are some KDZ extraction tools for LG phones already around. I was just thinking if its possible to download the stock firmware, unzip, add the missing ADB commands or add root directly, repackage as a .kdz then flash it through LGUP. I don't know of it's possible, just a thought. I feel like LGUP recognizing the V50 is a step closer to unlocking this phone. We just gotta get other developers on board.
Also, can I crossflash to the european software? V500EM?
:laugh:

You can cross flash European, but for the LG v40 the wifi I not working. Search the v40 threads about this. I'll link it tomorrow.
Extraction is OK, but it then needs to be compressed and signed. I'm not sure how these kdz works. Follow the lgup discussion thread on LG v40 xda forum for more.

You are right about antirollback. We don't know what they put in the bootloader. Also I crossflashed g7 from pie to oreo without problems. It might work with 10 - pie also.

It's 22:38 here. Tomorrow the firmware crossflash.
I just installed naver, a Google for koreans and trying to figure to put in in English.
It's not just for the phone, maybe I'll find interesting products there in Korea. Maybe I'll import them. We'll see.
It seems that on this Naver Cafe app are over 200k registered users for lg forum. I want to dig in those forums.

Assuming is like the V30, instead of "Upgrade" you would click "Partition DL" then "Select All" and continue.

You're right ?
It's safe to say if the Pie version is lower, do refurbish. We still don't know if LG put a antirollback.
EDIT: I'm gonna go ahead and do Android 10. Will post results tomorrow.
EDIT 2: Nevermind. I was gonna pay for the update but you also have to pay to setup an account for the only website that has the OTA right now. If anyone got their hands on Android 10 OTA, I'd love to try it out.
Hey has anyone tried the android 10 beta version for g8? Now it comes with new UX 9.1 which is cool and almost lookalike Samsung's one ui
So it seems that now, after successfully cross flashing your device (v40 and v50 with 1.15 cmd line and soon to be tested with 1.16), in theory, you could crossflash with korean firmware, then side load the OTA with lg up 1.16.
Who's willing to RISK?
Here is the example for V50:

pay attention that the LG G8 Korean model has the exact 3 cameras on the back like v50. It's different from g8 us and g8s european.
But that doesn't mean it can't work.
I think that you can flash Korean firmware only on Korean models. Otherwise you can brick your phone. I have unlocked version 820QM7 and I don't take risk to flash 820N firmware.

LG G7 didn't bricked.
LG V40 also. But on the V40 wifi does not work after first restart. But reverted back works. So nothing to lose. But I repeat, hardware side, G8 has different versions, V40 and 50 don't.

The most important difference is number of cameras. It may cause different bugs.

Nope, because even the V50 shares the same camera apk version as the G8. All sensors are supported.
But who knows for camera libraries, again g8 shares 2 of the 3 sensors. Also who knows if other hardware is present on Korean?
