Hello Verizon V10 Community,
I was able to locate the full KDZ file for the Verizon V10 software version 11B, the latest available for the VS990. I personally have the V10 and it's already on 11B but I have a friend who just received his V10 in the mail today and it had 10B on it so I plugged his into my computer and the Verizon Upgrade Assistant downloaded the 11B KDZ. I have saved it, uploaded it and am making it available anyone who may need it.
You can download it from Android File Host here in a RAR archive: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911975083
Alternatively, you can download it directly from LG's servers here: http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW25NOE3325BACQF4BA4K6T/VS99011B_04_ARB00.kdz
MD5 of KDZ file when downloaded from AFH (NOT the rar file): 7f971f72b81945ad1f06df56300b6bae
You will need to use LGUP to flash this KDZ, which you can download from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995297690. After you have installed LGUP, you will need to extract the 'common' folder from the LGUP rar archive and put it in: C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model. (See attached screenshot) This 'common' folder contains the DLL file that is needed for LGUP to recognize the Verizon variant of the V10. There are other downloads of LGUP in other forums here in XDA which contain other installers in addition to the LGUP installer. The other installers install DLL files for other variants of the V10 which are not needed for the Verizon variant. The DLL I've included in the 'common' folder is all you need for our Verizon variant.
Enjoy
Reserved
And reserved again.
How big is the file size?

The KDZ by itself is 2.2 GB. I'll have the link ready later today as my FTP upload to AFH that I had running this morning failed and I have to start over. :-\
Thank you brother downloading now.

I've not yet tried flashing this KDZ but I'm going to assume we can use the LGFlashTool to flash this as the cool new LGUP program that has appeared recently in the G4 forums does not work with the V10. I tried it and the program won't even open when my V10 is attached to my computer. I'm guessing it needs a DLL file installed to work. If anyone knows where I can find one, please let me know.
I assure you this is not a fake. This is a genuine KDZ file downloaded directly from Verizon Upgrade Assistant. If anyone here decides to flash it, please let me know what program you used and the outcome of the process.

Same process I posted back in Jan about getting the .KDZ and the post to go along with it. I was unable to get the .KDZ file to flash to the phone. The version also had much userdata included in the file which is why I never released the file.

This thread claims to have the .KDZ file directly from the LG site.

I'm not sure what version I tried but I had many different versions of the software but didn't want to run into a bricked phone and didn't have much time to spend on trying and failing with personal things going on.
LGUP isn't recognizing the KDZ file. It sees the TOT however. Any way to fix this?
EDIT: Just had to choose the Update radial instead of Refurbish.
I believe upgrade is tot only and refurbish is kdz and tot. Or vice versa.
We just got our upgrade to marshmallow is going to be possible to obtain root for it?

Just going to throw this out there. No matter what KDZ file I download, I can't get passed the Google Account setup. There's data on that file that prevents the phone from going forward and constantly loops back to the beginning of entering the Google Account previously associated with the phone before the factory reset.

Lg v1o bootloop
Hi guys, I'm James and I live in mexico. I'm Argentinean. A month ago I bought the LG V10 and then use it normally, one day I restarted the phone all the time and now stays at the logo screen. I know it is operational, the software system. But I took my phone to a technician famous city where I live repair and told me not found support for the cellular putting on new software. You think you can help me? Please . If necessary I will do it myself. What I find something silly and illogical is that he has not found support for the LG V10. Sorry for my English if there are errors. Thank you.

this looks like downgrading from Nougat to Marshmallow may be blocked on the H831 when using LGUP.
as shown in the screenshot.. your phone is on Nougat (20A) but you are trying to flash a Marshmallow KDZ (10D).
Obtain the 20A (or higher) KDZ for your phone model and that should flash in LGUP.
An alternative to flashing the KDZ would be trying to run a factory reset (wiping user data). You can do this from the settings menu on your phone.. or by booting into stock recovery menu. The G5 All-n-one thread on XDA has steps for how to boot into recovery if unsure.
Some users have stated that they have been able to downgrade from N to M with a combination of LGUP 1.14 + UPPERCUT and LGUP 1.11 and DLL MSI. There are downgrade threads in the G5 section here on XDA for more info on that. Not all models support this downgrade though (even though anti-rollback isnt set). You could technically root the phone then manually flash each and every partition to downgrade but thats risky. But to anyone capable and knowing how to do that.. yes that would work as long as you aren't downgrading fuse version.

hi v10 folks,
just bought this v10 mobile 3 days before. it came with 5.1 android version, so thought of upgrading it and found some weird observations.
1. on connecting mobile to LG Bridge, model shows as H901 but update shows as F600S30D :crying:
2. downloaded lg phone info app and saw the provider name as SK Telecom
i have attached three screenshots of my mobile phone. is this a genuine t mobile version ? what needs to be done to upgrade my phone to Nougat ??? instead of bricking my phone thought of taking your suggestion guys
thanx in advance
Do NOT use LG Bridge, or you will brick your phone. Dunno where you got your phone, but it has an F600 IMEI, so LG Bridge thinks you need F600 firmware.
There is a v20L KDZ floating around here somewhere. Grab it, and put your phone in download mode (pull the battery / put the battery back in / hold volume up / plug USB cable in -- you don't have to hit the power button). Once you are in download mode, you can flash the KDZ with LG UP. That will get you to MM 6.0.1 which is still rootable using the dirtycow method (if you care about rooting). If you don't care about rooting, I am uploading the v30b Nougat KDZ right now. It is not rootable with any currently known methods. If you do want root, root on v20L, and then I will also be posting an update.zip that will take you to v30b and keep root.

My goodness, thanks for the prompt reply buddy, you saved my @SS im seriously not worried for root or bootloader unlock. im ok with stock nougat without root. so which kdz i need to flash ? im confused
As far as I know, no one has uploaded the Nougat KDZ yet, so I am in the process of uploading it. Google drive is being REAL slow. Since you don't care about root, you can use the same method that I described above (get into download mode, and use LG UP to flash the KDZ). I will make a post just a soon as it finishes uploading.
You might want to take this time to be SURE that you don't want root, because once you flash Nougat, there will more than likely never be a way to root this phone unless another exploit in the Linux kernel can be found...

No if you update h90130b your phone will be a hardbrick.
You have to upgrade F600S30d But you might lose the network !!!
@SandyKick If you can return that phone for an exchange, you might want to. As @dodo73 said, (in not so many words) you are boned. You are going to have to take a risk either way, but the safest route since adb sees the device as an F600, is to flash the F600 firmware. If you lose network, you can then try flashing the H901 modem. Let us know how it goes, but you are probably going to have to do SOME kind of fixup -- it will not be a clean flash / upgrade / happy phone
EDIT: If you flash the F600 firmware and brick your phone, that is also easy to fix -- and you will know that you DO need the H901 firmware.

I dont think going straight from 5.1.1 to nougat is a good idea. And after 1 hr of download if lg up is going to say incorrect kdz then why time waste
@SandyKick first we have to upgrade it to 6.0 to see everything goes welll then decide to upgrade it to 7.0
I have been searching for v20L kdz link but which model it is the huge problem
as we can not flash H901 kdz.
f600L?
F600s?
F600K?
There are three model with several updates. :/ Pretty confusing right.

Hi guys, i recently bought an used LG G5, after checking out the IMEI with an LG representative via email, it turns out i have the marketing version. I tried upgrading to 8.0 on my own using the regular software update on the phone with no success. I tried using LG Bridge, where it says that "your phone is up to date" however after i press ok for that message, it says that there is an update available "H85010DX". After i click to continue to get to the downloading phase i get the error message "The update cannot be downloaded because there was a problem with the server"
Knowing all of this, is there a way, no matter what for me to upgrade to Oreo? Thanks for ur time guys!
Try with officila KDZ upgrade for H850, using Uppercut and LGUP.
You can find the firmware here and LGUP and Uppercut (with instructions) here.

I am trying right now! Coming with a reply!
Nice! Before trying to flash the KDZ, have you tried to unlock the bootloader with the official LG method? That would allow and easier and safer upgrade via TWRP.

Yes, i tried, as i mentioned in my post earlier, they said it cannot be done because my phone model is the marketing version, HOWEVER!!
I DID IT!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I Downloaded LG UP, The LG Drivers and UPPERCUT, A Romanian Firmware of H850 (there wasn't any for my LG G5 Model so i tried that one, same phone specs "what could go wrong?")
AND IT WORKED PERFECTLY!!!!! I Used a weird ass 100 views guide on youtube hahahahaa

I want to know if frankensteining a carrier unlocked us998 to vs99(Verizon version) is just a quick one step process to latest Pie, or do I need to install all updates one by one? The us998 is activated on Verizon and has Android 7.0 on it. Thanks.

One of the trouble shooting tips in the Frankenstein post is to reinstall drivers, another is to try a different computer.
The dll error ALWAYS means either you didn't install the correct version of the Dev Patched LGUP or not using it correctly (like not launching from desktop shortcut, but instead trying to use the folder .exe file). If you are sure you have installed correct, have installed all the correct drivers, then try a different computer.
Thanks for reply. I've tried all steps from the post. Reinstalled, deleted, restarted. Only thing I haven't done is try a different computer. I get "LGUP can't load the model[c:\Program Files\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\com" error. Am i missing a file?
I noticed that the program also installs onto my C:. I also have to delete c:\LG Electronics folder. Is this normal? I've downloaded LGUP Dual from both links in the post. I guess i'll try a different PC. Thanks for your help.
I got it to recognize! Had to try on another computer but now it works. One more question though. Do I need to make a backup? If for some unknown reason I need to get back to the original software, how do I go about doing that? I have us998 with us99810b installed with Android 7.1.2. Thanks again.

You would simply do the reverse. You would flash your phone back to US998 KDZ. However, US998 10b was very early Nougat. If you ever go back to US998, like to sell the phone or something, I would at least flash to newer US998 firmware -- like 20h (last Oreo).

Actually it's VS996, for the Verizon V30, not VS9998.
So you're on US998 Nougat?
Technically for Frankenstein, using Dev Patched LGUP you should Partition DL to VS996 Nougat, use Master Reset, then Refurbish to VS996 Pie.
However, US998 and VS996 have a level of compatibility the others don't enjoy. I think you can Partition DL straight to VS996 Pie, followed by Master Reset.
If you're not sure what Master Reset is (sequence of button), see the Frankenstein instructions.

Thanks for the reply. Do you recommend going straight to Pie? If its more reliable in steps ex. Nougat, Oreo, Pie, then ill do it. I was just wondering if jumping straight to Pie would cause issues.

No, won't cause issues if you're using the KDZ.

You're not Bootloader Unlocked and rooted, are you? You don't care about that? It's fine if you don't. Neither is my wife's, sister's nor brother-in-law's V30/V30+.
BUT if that is something you would want, no, you can't go straight to VS996 Pie until you do some other stuff.
But if you just want Verizon firmware, then you should be able to jump straight to VS996 Pie from US998 Nougat, going by what other Verizon users have done. Use Dev Patched LGUP in Partition DL mode, with all Partitions. Then Master Reset.
If for some reason, doesn't work, then tour would need to flash VS996 Nougat, Master Reset, then VS996 Pie.
At the most, all you would need

You're not Bootloader Unlocked and rooted, are you? You don't care about that? It's fine if you don't. Neither is my wife's, sister's nor brother-in-law's V30/V30+.
BUT if that is something you would want, no, you can't go straight to VS996 Pie until you do some other stuff.
But if you just want Verizon firmware, then you should be able to jump straight to VS996 Pie from US998 Nougat, going by what other Verizon users have done. Use Dev Patched LGUP in Partition DL mode, with all Partitions. Then Master Reset.
If for some reason, doesn't work, then tour would need to flash VS996 Nougat, Master Reset, then VS996 Pie.
At the most, all you would need

I'm wondering the same as charulo316, but my v30+ is already running pie, but for the unlocked and I want to switch to the Verizon one, do I need to downgrade to Oreo and then back the the Verizon pie version??

Technically for Frankenstein, using Dev Patched LGUP you should Partition DL to VS996 Nougat, use Master Reset, then Refurbish to VS996 Pie.
However, US998 and VS996 have a level of compatibility the others don't enjoy. I think you can Partition DL straight to VS996 Pie, followed by Master Reset.
If you're not sure what Master Reset is (sequence of button), see the Frankenstein instructions.

You are basically asking about Frankenstein, where one North American variant can be fully converted to another (firmware, modem with LTE bands, etc)
Normally, for most North American variants, when flashing KDZ (LG stock firmware image) you actually need to downgrade all the way to Nougat first before upgrading to more current firmware. See Frankenstein instructions.
But US998/VS996 have a very close relationship. If have US998 firmware on the phone, you can go straight to Verizon VS996 Pie firmware using Dev Patched LGUP. For this specific combination you do not need to downgrade first.

Thank you!! I did some more searching around the site late last night and am going to try it tonight. The main reason is because i just switched to Verizon and the WIFI calling option disappeared even though it was "turned" through Verizon. It seems to be that even though I have a carrier unlocked phone, Verizon doesn't see that and will block certain features unless it is a Verizon phone. I have access to the network, but not the wifi calling
So I'm still having issues. I've downloaded and installed drivers and LGUP Dual mode from the link and can't seem to get it to work. I get the phone into download mode and it goes into the firmware upgrade screen but my LGUP doesn't load. I get a "LGUP can't load the model[c:\Program Files\Lg Electronics\LGUP\model\com" error. Any suggestions?
Just trying to install VS996 onto a Verizon enabled us998 so that i can get wifi calling, visual voicemail and video calling to work. Thanks

See the trouble shooting tips in the Frankenstein Instructions. How many of those have you tried?
Sounds like LGUP wasn't installed correctly. It needs to be installed using very specific steps. There are other possible explanations, but this is where I would start.
Uninstall LGUP completely (in Programs & Features control panel), then delete all its remnants and folders and restart Windows (not Shutdown, Restart).
Now download LGUP from the link in one of ChazzMatt's Pie KDZ ROM threads, and install it EXACTLY folding the steps he gives, no shortcuts or deviations.
If it still doesn't work, follow his troubleshooting steps in the same ROM thread.
Edit: Oops, Chazz beat me to it.
tried all. After a few restarts, now get a "DLL for us99810b is invalid. Please install valid DLL package (*.msi) for the model". I've uninstalled and reinstalled a few times, deleted the folder, moved cable around, tried new cable. This is the furthest i've gotten now.
