I am a US resident and an AT&T customer. I purchased the Nike on ebay and have already SIM unlocked the phone and it is working with my AT&T sim card.
My question is simple(I hope).
Which OS and Radio will work best in my situation?-I am no rookie to upgrading Windows Mobile cell phones as I have owned many.-I fully understand the risks to my phone and am prepared to face them.-I already understand that I am my own tech support thanks to the lack of support of this phone here in the US.That said, can anybody help me?
Dan
Can noone help me with the question? Over 12 hours and 60 some views but not one reply...
I really need an answer to this question as right now I am not able to access the internet on my phone. I really love this phone but if I can't really use it, that's gonna fade quickly.
PLEASE, PLEASE, someone help me.
Thanks, Dan.

Maybe you should have thought about that before buying it?
Anyway, be pacient, maybe anyone can help you...
One could only hope I suppose...
I know it is possible because I had a T-Mobile MDA and then the T-Mobile Wing on AT&T configured to AT&T's settings but the Dual isn't native to my country. I knew it would be more difficult but knew someone here, if anywhere, could help me.

i got niki off ebay as well and used it on AT&T for a few months before switch to T-Mobile. i used it with the original stock ROM and the Niki Project ROM. my signal wasn't always the best because there are areas near me that use the 850 mhz band but now that i'm on T-Mobile, everything is good.
if i were you, i'd try the Niki Project ROM. it's stable and fast.

Haha will do.
You don't need to flash the radio if you're not having problems with it. If it's not broken, don't fix it. (I read that from someone's sig)
But I second the suggestion regarding Niki Project ROM.. it's the best so far.

Agreed. I wonder if flashing a custom rom on an international to unlock the VZW bands, if possible, then using a dummy imei to swap it with a vzw imei would work.

Yeah idk
If gaining root were as easy as changing apn settings, the bootloader would b unlocked probably. The issue is partly HARDWARE related. Different carriers ship their devices with slightly different components on the board. That's why when u take the battery out, u see carrier branded stickers and printing. And, the key needed to unlock the bootloader is encrypted in a way that attempting to crack it will result in the device not even booting due to the fact that certain security checks are performed in an order that depends on the previous checks in the boot sequence to be valid before moving on to the next check. So...If you're not already rooted...pray. That's all u can do.
The phone is far from a flagship device. I think the expectation is that most people are moving on to newer devices this year. Personally, I'm not liking the trend of single body phones with "premium materials" very much so I'll wait to see what else is it there.
Such a shame that VZ took this direction with their business instead of embracing the dev community.

What?
Finding a root exploit to a locked down device is not the same as a road trip to New Jersey! You cannot ask "Are we there yet!"
Everyone knows at exactly the same time..when it is discovered, tested and released.

Follow the root guide in the general section
I wonder if these mdk s4's are still worth anything?
Hmm.. On swappa maybe $10-20 more than a regular s4.
Can't even find any on ebay. Guess this phone has truly reach EOL.
How do they even get away with this without class action LS.. probably because too may people like me buying before they take the time to work out that they're selling gizmos loaded with bloatware, boobytrapped to keep it that way.

You *can* root the s4 i454 on lollipop. Use kingroot.apk and switch to SuperSU. Google that... It takes a few steps (on the switch)
I currently own the US model of this device. I've done some digging in the forums but I never really come up with very much. If anyone could help I'd be willing to try just about anything to get this phone rooted as long as there's a recovery option. I've read in other threads that the European model can be rooted but the US version has no such luck. If anyone has anymore information please post a reply I would love to get a discussion started. Thanks in advance

Unfortunately, yes your appear to be right. I haven't been able to find anything on this device as far as the U.S. version goes anyway. Apparently, the European version has already been rooted with Magisk and an unlocked bootloader. Although no one has said much of anything about this one. I hope there some development soon!!
A shame these dont yet have bootloader unlock etc.. Its a great phone with Awesome specs on it.
I picked up a Like NEw one for 200.00 (u.s. sprint) version. I use it on t-mobile.

Well it has according to the LG website. Didn't try it out yet.
https://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryId=CTULRS0703
• LG V50S: LMG850EMW/LMG850EMWX for the European market
This is the LG G8X (check your device info).
We'll probably have to wait for Firehose to be released for LG Snapdragon 855 to have any hopes for unlocking on Non EU variants
No bootloader unlock available? Was checking developer settings and was able to turn on OEM unlock. Would really like to see some AOSP ROMs available for this phone.
I am very glad to be getting replies here. However, US models are still unrootable as far as I can tell its not listed for the US region but is listed for EU. So far no new updates. Please keep the conversation alive though!! Need a developer to start cracking down on this device please!
If anyone knows any developer's willing to work on this device I will quite literally give them payment to develop a working root method for this device. No joke. I'm not very sure how much power developers have over this device. But I would really love to find out.

How would I go about doing this? Not all that familiar with Xda honestly. I rooted my old phone thanks to this site but I wouldn't know how to contact any developers on this subject.
A shame that this high end phone does not yet have root/rom. (in u.s.) You can pick these up fairly inexpensively (on ebay..as I did)
Hope LG is able to get bootloader unlocked one day or I may have to go back to Xiaomi / Oneplus
I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Well considering this same device is rooted it would likely mean that eventually we will have something. It might take awhile however. The EU version is definitely rooted and even compatible with Magisk having an unlocked bootloader is fantastic. Especially in this time. However since our country is a bit more controlling when it comes to phone data we may not see one until this device is obsolete. Meaning that LG will have made their money on it and therefore feel safe releasing a bootloader unlock officially..
Hello,
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to replace the LM-V600AM AT&T version for the V600EA20c European Version, and how to do it?

Not sure yet, I've been stuck on a phone that I'm trying to get out of the way, although I've been considering just moving on to the V60 as I feel I may be heading toward a dead end on the other phone.
News to come, though.
Any updates @haise.zero ? Bought this beauty for myself but im missing out on the EU Firmware :/
Shizuku and an activity launcher that leverages shizuku to perform privileged launches can launch a hidden menu activity that allows you to change the model number.
You might be able to flash to something else with the same OPID that way.
Edit: more information later when I'm on my computer and can provide actual details.

Hasn't still be a way to update the ATT v60 or to cross flash? I think I can't wait anymore but to trade it for another device or sell it off since I'm stuck on June 2020 update

So would that be something like the WTF! method to change the model for the v30? My V30 was a sprint but I was able to change it to the US998 model with that method, thus allowing me to use the custom ROMS for that model. Could something like that be possible for this phone?

I'm not familiar with the V30 or its process, but the process I mentioned would be the way to change models and crossflash over to a less restricted model version to allow easier downgrades and modifications, yeah. It'd (probably) let you work with it through LGUP after a model name change and an OP partition swap

I haven't done much of anything lately. Life has been taking up all of my time.
I ordered new computer parts so that I can finally upgrade to a Ryzen build (been running an FX processor for forever now) and get some real development done. Also hoping for some more spare time soon.
I'll be working on a ROM coupled with a custom recovery primarily but I do understand the importance of needing more people to unlock their devices. This is also something I'm still working on.
My previous partner Codeon doesn't have a V60 nor the time to work on it if he did have one anyways so it's mostly just been me lately and even I haven't done much for a while now.
Hoping I can change that. I'm trying to dedicate my time today to this phone, but as far as getting EDL to work with us without that god damn proprietary GSM box crap, it's just out of my league and I don't understand it. I do know of someone who may be able to help with that and I'll be reaching out to see if they can lend a hand or not.
Sorry for things going so slowly. Thank you for your patience, guys, especially because I know it's running thin right now.
Please update us.
