Will the V60 ever get a custom rom, mates? I may purchase this phone in the near future so its kind of a downgrade when theres no rom for this LG's version.

I'm gonna take a V10 F600 (Korean variant). I've been searching everywhere to find its stock ROM, but nothing found.
I wonder if where are they, why LG still does not provide it ?
What if i buy a LG V10, then the ROM has problems and can not boot up, how can i flash stock ROM to get it back to work ?

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.
Hi all,
I have seen a good offer for a branded G5 from an European carrier and I was wondering if there is any known way yet to de-brand it, in order to free it from the bloatware that I suppose it will be packed with.
If not, do you think normally this would be possible within some months from release, or were there already cases in the pase where this wasn't possible ever?
Thank you very much.

Accepted... I wrote a bit careless and I can see how the request was kinda funny.
Let me reformulate... In case I find the branding too disturbing and I want to flash a stock unbranded image (which I believe is possible for European H850 even if branded by carrier, right??) then I will miss OTA and maybe won't even be able to sideload OTAs like I used to with Nexus 5?

If you remove the original firmware flashing a different one you will lose OTA, but it seems that on G4 is possibile to receive update through LG Bridge (but i'm not sure), obviously the update you will receive will always been related to your brand.
Sideload as far as i know is not possibile on LG devices, because the Stock Recovery is made for Hard Reset only.
For now it's not possible to flash firmware on the G5, but some users are working both on LGUp and Flashtool 2.0.1.6 Here

OK thanks!
I would not see the point of providing a way to unlock the bootloader from LG itself even, if then you don't give people the possibility to flash something else on it, or maybe I'm missing the point of unlocking bootloader.
(talking about Italian Vodafone or Tim btw)

With the official bootloader unlock you lose the warranty, and there is no way to recover it, by flashing a no-brand firmware on al lg device the warranty remain (exception made for us carriers maybe).
Note that with an unlocked bootloader you can flash many things (roms, kernel, mods, xposed ecc...), with LGUp or Flashtool you can only flash official lg firmware.
So, LG provides an official bootloader unlock so the users can use their smartphone's full potential, but doesn't allow to flash official firmware because there is the smartphone update center for otas, and LG Bridge fo recovering and flash the whole firmware update, and not only the ota.
Hello!
Is it possible to downgrade the LG G5 (H850 from Orange Romania) from a newer FW to an older one? Currently i'm on V10a and i'm trying to get used to the battery life so i wish to know what my options are in case i decide to update and things don't go well. My previous phone was Samsung S5+ (and before that S3) and switching from different FW's was easy.
I really appreciate any help you can provide.
Yes you can, there is always a possibility that in the future lg will add a anti-rolback function, but it never happened on the International variant
Lg g5 H820
I want/need to upgrade the phone from Nougat to anything more modern.
I'd prefer upgrading to Oreo (8.x) or a good custom ROM.
PROBLEM: I cannot find any legit Oreo firmware that says it works on the G5 and I've also read that the phone cannot be rooted, so a custom ROM may not be able to be installed.
What say you?
Thanks
