LG V10 2nd gen (plus or something?) - T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My tmobile LG V10 decided to brick itself today so i took it to TMO for warranty, and the girl behind the counter said i was in luck. Apparently i am to receive an updated version of the v10 from the one i recieved late last year, the girl said it was the v10 plus or v10s or something. Can anyone weigh in on this? i feel like i would have heard something about this.

I just purchased the v10 a few days ago, didnt know they had any submodels like + or something. I did ask which revisions they had and the newest one I got was made in feb 2016 with HW Rev 1.0 . I looked around online and found nothing,had I known there was an updated version HW wise I would have opted for that even if they had to ship it to me.
Please let us know,I am considering calling tmobile tomorrow to ask lol

the one i gave back for warranty was made 10/15 but with H/W 1.0 as well. I don't know. I'll ask again when I got back in.

I'm 99% sure she has no idea what she's talking about. That's iPhone speak.

[Q] Questions for USA buyers

What CSCs are you generally getting from resellers? Latest European?
Anyone buy from NewEgg? (30 day exchange for issue laden device)
What are the pitfalls if any with using International Versions on ATT. I can see the advantages.
Flashing methods seem to be the same from what I am reading. Even A TiBu restore may work from a saved folder from the Captivate. Have not read of any differences there in apps or TiBu.
VPN settings work?
Been looking to get this handset but not sure about about a few processes. I am guessing MobileTech can unbrick one of these should I have an issue as they did one of my Captivates. I have not read of any US repair support expected.
USA Buyer
I have a SGII here in US, bought from onthegosolutions.com, works well on AT&T sim card. No setup issues, nothing to complain about but the problems with the native email app and activesync exchange server, that is supposed to be fixed in KE7 if I can ever get it.
The phone is the standard EU version XWKE2
I got mine from Amazon and the CSC was from Chile. Flashed the generic European ROM soon after to update the build to KE7. Everything has been working fine before and after flashing and rooting.
THanks for the replies. Being a "noob" to non branded Android Galaxy (always bought Nokia before and had to set up VPN was the only difference.
The two branded Captivates which were complete turds initially have been very nicely polished by developers. (hence my support of donations to them and this site.) I believe in supporting the helpful developers with my wallet for ROMS and paid Apps.
I don't use either Exchange or the stock Email app. I like Gmail and K9. I will root for TiBi and root Explorer. Probably run Cog at first since DG was a force on the SGS I and still is. When I get comfortable with the flashing processes I will try other ROMs
I guess most processes are similar to the S1. I did notice two rooting methods. I even read somewhere SuperOneclick may work.
OF hundreds of flashes I bricked once (recently) but $50 late MobileTech and the JTAG had me like new. Small price to pay to save a few hundred dollar phone. IM guessing Josh cna do the same with the SGS II.
Does anyone know when it will be available for AT&T?
I bought mine from New Egg and received it Thursday and I must say it is a great phone. Mine came with KE2. I just flashed Cognition on it a couple of hours ago and its even smoother and faster.
I read on Android Central the other day that Samsung was having issues with the carriers in the US on getting them to pick up this phone. I don't know why since its an awesome phone and they already have phones on all the major carriers. I'm glad I bought it outright instead of waiting for ATT to officially carry it.

The source of all those stories was a Korean writer with no facts talking out of his ass. A dev just found AT&T LTE code in the 2.3.4 leak along with PNG logos unique to their network.
Here's a link to the story that started it all. You judge if its credible.

Yeah IM over Carrier branded handsets. I was glad ATT never carried the N82/N95/N97 Nokias...... I could not care if ATT never gets the SGS 2. Probably get an SGS 3 instead to compete with ifad 5
Bought one here from the Market place with KE7....Hasn't arrived yet.

Bought a replacement L9 P769blk at walmart

So I went canoeing on a lake with my phone unprotected from a ziplock bag. Lesson learned....
My intial thinking is that nothing would happen because I have never flipped a canoe before.
Water was cold, almost suffered from hypothermia and drowned from a not so sudden death.
My fiance had a life jacket on, thank bajebus. And our unborn child is A okay, my phone was not.
So I get a replacement from walmart, out 200 dollars. But I really love this model of android phone.
Now the one I bought from is pretty much a paper weight and im not sure what parts in the phone still work.
The walmart l9 P679blk came with 10g firmware, sucks because I have not found anything pertaining a potential successful root effort.
And I did not really stop to think, is it going to come with the new firmware with a stock phone.
So just to update everyone on the status of stock firmware. Yes, 10g does come with the phone now. Thanks Lg and thanks tmobile.
no sense to post such thing.
no any helpful for others.

Are you sure you didn't just accidently allow it to update when you turned it on? I just bought one from Walmart recently too (post 10g). When I booted it up the first time it had 10e, but asked me if I wanted to upgrade it.

that is lie.
all T-Mobile L9 were manufactured before 2013, 10g not released at that time.
the only way to get it from ota after turning on the phone.

p76910g released at the end of January, in the market retail sealed package it is impossible with 10g in unless he got opened box item.
I purchased couple L9s from Wal-Mart, the T-Mobile prepaid package is impossible to re-seal once been opened.

Thanks again cmahendra, you once again seem like a nice guy.
I understand where the other guy is coming from. I'm no expert with smartphones. Well, slightly. I am going to college for Information Technology.
But really, no lies here. I have enough problems in my personal life to be lieing to a group of people on a forum. That firmware version is what came with the phone. I did no update, nothing was pushed. Matter of fact, I first used the phone with no wifi or sim card in my phone. I did all of that to make sure what build was running.
I do appreciate your feedback though, I have no reason what so ever to be mad at you for calling me a liar. And I understand the comment you left. I to have looked that information up. I was surprised because I thought that I would be getting what I paid for via tmobile store in the late of last month. "the 27th of jan to be exact."
Touchy story, but quite off-topic.

Update Problem

Hello All!
I am fairly new to the site, and not too tech savvy, but I'm having some problems with my Verizon LG V10 I bought about 3 months ago.
I bought the unit from eBay for 300 dollars in new condition (a steal if you ask me), and it's been working great, but I have been having issues updating my phone.
I am aware that Marshmallow is out for the V10 on Verizon, yet whenever I click on check for updates, it always says no upgrade is available.
As most of you probably know, Verizon phones are unlocked, and I am using an H20 sim card, putting the phone in international mode. My question is that I'm wondering if that is the problem, or is there something else?
Thanks for your help
I thought all the V10's shipped with Marshmallow.

They actually don't.
I bought this one off of ebay, and it came with 5.1.1
I even tried the Verizon Software Updater, and thought I had it, only to find out that nothing changed, I really want to get a hold of the battery life optimization in Marshmallow
You won't get Verizon updates on another network or outside North America.
Download the kdz and upgrade it yourself
please provide kdz file working link, nowhere i can find it.

[Q] Impossible to root on AT&T version?

So I just got the V30 from AT&T. The last new phone I got was a G3 so its been a really long time for me. In those days every phone got unlocked after a short wait. From what I have been reading it looks like the AT&T version may not ever be unlockable. Is this true? If so, I made a big mistake. Can anyone comment on this.

Lg g6 us997

Just picked one up to replace my soon to be retired V8 Pro. Went to go and update to try and get Oreo on it and getting error message that phone is not registered yet. I have seen several threads around but nothing saying how to resolve it. AT&T has the imei updated and phone is otherwise working fine.
I bought two of these on clearance from Walmart. One updates just fine, the other has this issue. I searched for a long time and can't find anything. The one with the issue was also unable to register for the LG 2 year promise warranty, it's like LG made phones and never recorded their IMEIs. I emailed the warranty support my proof of purchase and they added it to their system but I still can't update. KDZs seem to be the only way to update these phones. LG really isn't instilling confidence in me, even with their 2-year promise. I basically only buy LG devices on clearance because of all the issues they have.

Best description I've read. I sent my IMEI in with a brand new box as proof and they told me it's not in their database. What the heck?
