T-Mobile LG V30 Unlocking manually/toolkit - LG V30 Questions & Answers

Is there a Way to manually unlock my tmobile LG V30? maybe a all in one toolkit or something. I would pay a company, but I'm broke at the moment. also a unlocking service is at min 160 since I have to use the app. any help would be greatly appreciated. I currently cants use my phone service as the darn phone I just bought isn't unlocked though it was supposed to be. oh yea and the jerk I bought it from has an unpaid balance so thers that as well. isn't craigslist amazing eh?

First, check your phone's IMEI status in T-Mobile DB here: https://www.t-mobile.com/verifyIMEI.aspx
If your phone is blocked, even if you have the money to pay for the unlock, it won't be successful.
The only method left is to flash the firmware and install another one.

Flash what firmware and install "another" what? You can't crossflash firmware of other variants on the LG V30.
Or you're talking about changing the IMEI, which can't be discussed on XDA.

I don't mean changing the IMEI, but if your is blocked only in T-Mobiel databases, theIMEI is not blacklisted (globally) , so you don't need to change it.

Can I Flash UK/European Firmware onto my South Korean LG V10?

Hi Folks,
Just looking for a bit of advise. I have messed around with rooting and unlocking my phones in the past. I have always just followed guides here or youtube etc so not really having an clear understanding of the potential pitfalls.
I have imported an LG V10 from South Korea and overall am very happy with it. However for some reason it seems to be locked for international data roaming.
Can I get past this by flashing a UK or European firmware onto this phone when they become available ?
What device ID's or Radio's do I need to match etc or basically what do I need to watch out for. This phone can't go back to be repaired if I break it so want to make extra sure its worth it.
Thanks in advance for any help
Cheers
Chris
I'm not sure, maybe @wolfgart can help. I believe he's had a few different models of this device.

why you are saying "locked for international use"
Korean variants are free for international use. Tell me your problems

it always depends if fm chip builted in S808 inside your variant it was phisically enabled or not
i always wonder why manufacturer would add more work physically disabeling something that just do a commong motherboard and then just lock it on the software side or not.
is there an adroid app that could find/see what chip is on my version? (considering it s installed or not)

would be interesting if you set it to true , you get the fm on

Ok so long story
I bought an imported LG600S from a guy on eBay who had imported it directly from South Korea I believe direct from SK Telecoms.*
This phone appears to be unlocked for any network here in the UK. *I am using a 3 Hutchison sim in it at the moment which I get calls and LTE speeds. *I have also tried a UK Vodafone sim in the phone and that works fine too.*
My problem appeared when I went to Paris France. My contract gives me unlimited data even when roaming abroad. *However in France the phone would not allow me to switch on data networks. It gave me the warning message which I have attached. *I click the accept tags but still the slider for data network was blocked (grayed out) with a message saying I needed to contact Mobile T Roaming and gave me a link to a South Korea customer service centre . *I tried to call it but obviously I don't speak Korean *
I have tried an unlocking service called unlockscope who gave me a number of codes for my IMEI number. *However none of these codes worked as the phone does not prompt you for an unlock code when you swap sims. *They also gave me a few number strings to put into the dialer to try and force it to ask for a code, however these didn't work either. As an aside the unlockscope company has offered me a full refund and we're very good at trying to trouble shooting my issue. *
So now I am a bit of a loss as to what to do next?*
I need international data roaming for work but can't figure out how to unbarr it except maybe for flashing a different *on the device firmware to get round the block.??*
All help gratefully recieved! **

yes you can but your radio problem will not solve i flashed H900 and H960 firmwares on my v10 (f600s ) every thing wifi blah blah worked except the signals there were no signals and in about network status it shows "radio off". you can only flash dz in your v10 download kdz of mentioned models and convert them to dz via kdz tools and then refirbush.

So, its mean still possible to cross flash/convert from korean variant to international, all working except signal?
Or, can I flash with another korean varian? For example now I have V10 LG U+ (F600L) to V10 SKT (F600S)? How to do?
Thanks

yes you can test if u want at your own risk I also had f600s and now I am using the latest nougat firmware downloaded from here "https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/general/lg-v10-f600l-f600k-f600s-android-n-7-0-t3611676"" use the f600k version it works for me each and everything worked perfectly for me.
1. download the kdz
2. use kdz tools to convert it dz format.
3. use lgup to flash (it will not say invalid kdz)
im here to ask something: if you can flash a H960(A) kdz on to F600(K,S,L)...the opposite can be done too without losing features? like put the firmware V30 Nougat in V20 European?
I dont care about FM Radio working or not, only want network and wifi working.

NO, not until it's placed on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list.
https://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev
Believe me, when it happens you won't have to ask. For one the TWRP thread won't say "for H930 only" and stuff like that. Or there will be another TWRP thread opened... I hope that doesn't happen, would be best to have one LG V30 TWRP.
Thank Chazz! I am on TMobile. Will I have to root to get all the bands eligible to be used? I don't want to lose volte and have worse coverage with this expensive phone than my old v30

If you mean LTE band 71, yeah. But should have all other bands already.
And band 71 by root is speculation based on a T-Mobile networking folder in the hidden menu files that can't be accessed without root. Or the ability to flash T-Mobile radio over the US998, again with root.
Neither are guaranteed until we try it, but devs are very creative.

All I can go by is the bootloader unlocked model V20 (late 2016) and G6 (mid 2017 by the time bootloader unlock came). The US997 LG G6 in particular has TWRP, root, ROMs. The only thing messed up is there are two versions of TWRP, one for the European and an "unofficial" for the US997. I hope that mistake is not made for the V30 US998.

LGV30 Plus Oreo and S/N question

Hi, newbie here so please bear with me. I have bought a LGV30 plus (H930DS) via ebay. I know its not available here in the UK and isn't supported via local warranties etc. My 2 questions are:
1) Why isn't there a S/N - serial number, displayed in the about phone section of the phone ? its just blank! although both IMEI numbers are available.
2) I still haven't got Oreo, is this because its a HK version of the phone and it wont be pushed out to the UK (OTA) ? I've tried the LG Bridge app and it fails on several reasons (cant see phone etc)
Thanks in advance

No, doesn't matter. All H930DS have the same bands.
You could even flash the European H930 Oreo KDZ, and it would still work. It would keep your same H930DS modem bands, dual SIM functionality, but you would have Oreo.
Many have done it.

No, I do not know. It should be on your retail box, however.

NOTE: If you use "upgrade", all your data stays, all apps stay, all pictures stay.
But if you use "refurbish" it does wipe the phone.
You probably want upgrade.

Go into download mode BEFORE opening the patched LGUP.
If a desktop, best to use a port on the back of the computer (one attached directly to the motherboard).
Try different cable.
Try different computer.
Make sure LGUP is installed in the right folder (LG Electronics).
Still no joy, never mind I'll wait for the ota. Thanks for your help though :good:
I'm not rooted btw, does that matter?

No, this actually would be the first step to get root of you wanted that. You need to be on Oreo with fastboot flash commands.
For the SN part, I had same experience on my previous Galaxy S7, which was from eBay.
Mine was seller refurb, I forgot the seller name but it was Q something.
The SN was 00000000 for that phone.
I used it without any problem, but feels not great.
Yours might be the same thing, they did something on your phone.

LG v35 isai ... japanese lg v30+ modem problem

I have an unlocked lg v35 isai with unlocked sim but I tried to flash it with H930 kdz to unlock bootloader everything is working except that no signal ....
I tried to flash us998 but no sucess keep restarting .
I need help anyone has lg v35 isai firmware or modem please share it
For anyone wondering YES he does have a V30+. Just for some reason in Japan, instead of US998, LS998, H930, whatever, they called theirs "LG V35". Which is totally confusing as a few months later LG released ANOTHER phone called LG V35.
Their version of the V20 was called "V34"
Their version of the V30 then is the V35.
See here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77581027&postcount=3
Also here:
https://www.lg.com/jp/mobile-phone/lg-LGV35
You can tell it's really V30+, because it says so and specs show Snapdragon 835.

Well, you can flash a V35 isai kdz and see if it restores your signal.

I tried searching with Google for their firmware and couldn't find it posted anywhere. No, I didn't use that resource because I don't have their IMEI. But I wonder if ISAI is like AT&T and Sprint and don't publicly release KDZ?
But hopefully your suggestion will work for them!

You flashed T-mobile H932 firmware over your ISAI v30+? Yeah, you bricked it. Many warnings that T-mobile H932 has different RSA encryption from any other V30. You would need to contact some eBay guy that can fix that.

Gosh nooo H932 is the TMobile V30 and it's the only variant that will hardbrick with crossflashing. You can contact @motogvasyag since he knows how to fix this error using remote access to your PC and device. Talk to him and check if him supports your device.

If you look at the link it shows you downloaded various partitions like modems. You should be able to use Partition DL mode to install those partitions through LGUP?
partition dl cant flash separate image only kdz or tot message appear when try to flash modem in partition dl
I too made an LG UP dump of all partitions on my H932 long ago, but I don't think there is a way to flash those dump files back with LG UP. If there is, I'd love to know.
I believe they can be turned into TWRP flashable zip files, but that's another matter.
