What's a zv8?
And will it affect me being rooted?
Zv8 is a firmware version, but a few posts down someone asks if it will work on any firmware, he said yes. So as long as you are on a stock based firmware, you should be ok. Root doesn't matter.

Hello All,
I am planning for Jelly Bean upgrade on my LG Optimus G [AT&AT] through LGNPST. My phone is already unlocked for other carriers. Will the unlock be retained after the upgrade ?

Hi, I had the same worry as I had bought my phone from eBay. I can tell you that mine is still unlocked after LGNPST and flashing the different ROMs and Kernels, but your phone could be unlocked in a different way (probably not, but I am not sure, my phone came unlocked), so I cannot guarantee it. Hope this helped
Thanks for the information. Mine also I got unlocked from Ebay. Hope it will work.

I was wondering how I could unlock my e970 without using a non att SIM card? I have looked for mmi codes to get the phone to ask but have not had any success.

I don't really know the answer to this question because I've never used GSM or had to deal with SIM-related stuff, so this might be a dumb question, but does it just require an unlock code? Is this the same code that you can view in the "About Phone" menu in the options? The one that's called UICC unlock or something? Check out this thread here...
Is it already locked with a PIN right now? I don't even know if locked SIMs persist across factory resets, but if they do I would check online to see if that's all you need, or how it works. Maybe a Google search with something like UICC unlock SIM GSM LG G3 Sprint factory reset, for example. Sorry if I'm already telling you stuff you know.
When i had my galaxy s7 on sprint i was able to flash other carrier roms and unlocked version roms through samsung flash tool .Can this be done with lg phones on some kind of flash tool ? Sorry for question just was wondering i use to flash unlocked version on my sprint v30 to have a bloat free phone
So the question I have is this. If you are going to root and unlock the phone anyway, why not just remove the bloatware on the phone? Why concern yourself with other carriers?
If all the carriers are equal as far as communication frequencies are concerned, then unlocking the phone is all you really need. Once unlocked (you don't even need to root for this) you can go to any carrier.
I could do that without root. And flashing unlocked version rom has no carrier bloat. Also i said nothing about rooting

If memory serves and may not, so unless something has changed, flashing any function on an android phone requires root access.

"Unlock" has different meanings in a dev forum. You mean carrier unlocked, SIM card unlocked. Not bootloader unlock.
U.S. Cellular has SIM card unlocked, carrier unlocked version. The "open market" version which will be released in early December will be both carrier unlocked and will be eligible for official bootloader unlock.
You basically want to convert your phone to another phone? Yes, with Samsung phones you can do something like that with Odin. I have a friend who bought UK Galaxy S8 and flashed Australian ROM (with Samsung Pay) through Odin. He's not rooted and doesn't want root.
There is an LG flash tool, to flash KDZ and TOT firmware:
http://www.droidviews.com/download-lg-flash-tool-to-flash-kdz-and-tot-firmwares/
I know with the V20 H910, once Dirty Santa was patched in order for someone to root their phone, they had to basically flash their phone to an older Freedom ROM, which was not yet patched, then install some engineering mode module, and then run Dirty Santa.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3664500
So, some of what you're are asking can be done. But that ROM flashing was temporary and on some carriers you would lose signal. It was just a step to getting the bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed. Then the regular H910 ROM was reinstalled, and all signal functionally restored.

NOTE: this is a very simplified answer to the question. There are even "patched" versions of the tools to allow you to flash versions you aren't supposed to.

No, after the V20 LG has now added signature checks so you can't flash other variants to convert to another.
This was not widely known a few months ago. We thought that V20 trick would still work.
Too bad.

I bought a LG V30+ (V300) Korean version and I was wondering if it would be possible to flash an international stock rom on it.
Is this possible?
Anybody experience doing so?
Thank you.

There is no chance to fladh anotoher Rom in ours Lg V300k yet. First will be needed to unlock our bootloader (not achieved yet), then TWRP and finally to have suitable ROM's for ours devices.
Step be step, lets be patient

On LG V20 they flashed another ROM (KDZ) using a custom made LGUP.exe file -- BEFORE the bootloader was unlocked. They did it in order to unlock the bootloader, installed TWRP, then flashed back the orginal ROM while keeping TWRP.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74689131&postcount=123
However that method would only help you (on South Korean variant) if you then had a way to unlock the bootloader AFTER you flashed it.
This "flashing another KDZ variant"method would possibly work on the T-mobile H932 which already has easily unlocked bootloader, but just has most of the ADB flash commands removed. It would temporarily turn the H932 into an LG US998U once that KDZ is available. Install TWRP, flash back to original H932 firmware, while not overwriting the new TWRP recovery.
But doing that on South Korea model won't let you unlock bootloader because your IMEI is ineligible on the LG Developer website, and the bootloader unlock exploit the V20 devs used has been patched.

Shouldn't that be possible on this? Or was there a patched exploit after that? Sounds similar to the G4 if I remember correctly.

The bootloader unlock exploit they used on the V20 has been patched, but the T-mobile H932 V30 doesn't need a bootloader unlock exploit -- bootloader is easily unlocked. What it needs is a US998U KDZ and a custom made LGUP.exe to allow installing KDZ from another variant. That custom LGUP.exe is what does the magic, but a dev needs to make one that works on the LG V30. Go follow the links I posted.
I wanna downgrade from LS922ZVF To LS922ZV8 because i read on forums that on zv8 firmware it is possible to unlock sim card. So if anyone have idea how can i downgrade i could be grateful to let me know how.
