1. The hardware and software support VoLTE. Whether or not you can get the proper T-Mobile IMS settings programmed onto your Sprint G8X is a totally different story.
2. I suspect that by using a jig such as Octoplus it would be doable. Or even using the modded version of LG Up, so long aa you have the proper KDZ file. Until someone manages to unlock the bootloader and we can have at this phone we wont know for sure. What model is your G8X?
Now that we have bootloader unlocked .. is the sprint g8x a good option for TMobile?

I would also also like to know. Probably should have done the research a week ago, but I bought an unlocked Sprint G8X to use on a T-Mobile MVNO and just recently learned that it'll need VoLTE for voice calls to work after the 3G shutdown. Ugh.

Hello jdapp,
I was able to get VoLTE AND VoWIFI on Mint (T-mobile) with these instructions. I also posted what I did on Post 50. The files work for firmware 20 but if you need the ones for firmware 30 let me know.

I would love to flash this ROM to get rid of the SIM Lock on the T-Mobile version.

That's completely NOT how this works. You flash this and you'll likely brick your phone.

So only a T-Mobile ROM is compatible with the H830? International ROM won't work?
I suppose as long as the KDZ is a GSM not CDMA,. I tried it already on HTC M9 jumped from T-Mobile RUU to At&t and then to international RUU with no bricking.

You have to be particularly careful with LG phones (and in general). There may be some other models and manufacturers where this could work.
But I think this is rarely the way to obtain sim unlock.
A lot of the times the phones are not identical between regions and flashing a different firmware will totally destroy the phone.
LG in particular doesn't even like you flashing an older firmware onto the phone and instituted an anti-rollback mechanism on some US model phones, where even flashing the correct model's older version would result in a total brick. Yes, you could actually brick your phone by flashing a kdz file, meant for your phone, on LG flashing software, that was just the version prior.

So, in general. We have to wait to unlock the bootloader, root, TWERP and flash custom ROMS into the LG G5 instead of trying to flash a stock KDZ?
These manufacturers are making it harder and harder, we are somehow loosing the flexibility that made us choose Android over IOS.
Sorry about creating a thread but wanted to make sure I can flash Sprint LG v30+ to T-Mobile without issue. Tried to read a few threads but from my understanding Oreo had messed things up at one point.
Does it have to be unlocked through Sprint first?
Simple flash T-Mobile or international rom makes it usable?

No, doesn't have to be unlocked through Sprint first. And Oreo didn't mess up anything.
Some of the T-Mobile guys are complaining about T-mobile Oreo. I own five US998 and don't see anything they are complaining about. Must be a T-Mobile H932 issue.
You will convert LS998 V30+ to official carrier unlocked model US998 V30+ with Oreo, and run on T-Mobile. Converting to US998 carrier unlocks the phone and gives it fastboot flash commands.
You can stop there, or you can bootloader unlock, install TWRP and root the phone.
Whatever you do after that (Install ROMs or whatever) is your choice.
You will NOT flash T-Mobile firmware onto the phone or you will brick the phone.
Many T-Mobile users are running rooted US998 (original or converted) on T-Mobile.

Thank you for clearing that up for me.
My Sprint V30+ is sim unlocked. If I flash it to carrier unlocked phone and toss a TMobile sim in it, will I get access to VoLTE?
Right now when I toss a TMobile sim in it, calls drop to 2G/3G.

If flashed to US998 Oreo you will definitely get T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling.
T-Mobile users can answer specifically about T-Mobile VoLTE on US998.
But since you can temporarily drop down to HSPA for phone calls and still get data, it's not critical. I don't have VoLTE on my AT&T Prepaid plan and I don't care.
1. does lg g8x sprint unlocked support tmobile volte?
2. can we cross flash lg g8x sprint unlocked with lg g8x USA unlocked variant?
I have a Sprint unlocked version and use it with Google Fi on T-Mobile towers and I cannot use VoLTE or wifi calling. I'm not sure about flashing it, I'd guess so, but haven't tried...
My LG V60 was an ATT version, and is now rooted and cross flashed to t mobile firmware. I tried getting the code through the ATT website, and they said they can't approve the unlock request.
So from what I've read online, a phone has to be on its original network for a certain number of days to be able to be unlocked, how does this work? Is there any way around this? Is there something I can do on a rooted phone to fix this, or can carrier aggregation fix this? (what they're doing here:
Enabling Carrier Aggregation LG V60
Hi, Can someone post the carrier policy files of the LG V60 LMV600EA version ? I need this files to enable carrier aggregation on my canadian V60. Thanks

I know this may be a little late,but I would cross flash it to the T-Mobile firmware.Follow the cross flash guide in the G8 section.Make sure you backup all LUN 5 partitions in Qfil before you start for IMEI purposes.
