If you're on ATT, it should update, but if it's not I wonder if something is wrong from ATT's side. ATT is being extra difficult about phones that aren't their IMEI, so your device is somewhat more-valuable if it's truly an ATT IMEI.
You cannot get ATT ROMs online, because ATT refuses to release them. If you still want to update, you can Frankenstein your phone (instructions are on this forum) to US998, and then update to whichever version you want. You could also root the phone along the way, if desired. However, you cannot get back to an ATT ROM if you do this. The phone should work fine as US998 ROM on the ATT (and many other networks)... so it should remain functional.
thank you very much.

also the project treble compatibility, does it come with oreo?
No treble that I ever saw. There was some effort but it didn't seem to pan out. There may be custom roms with it, but I stayed to stock-based because you will need VOLTE/VOWIFI at some point, which custom ROMs don't have.
Ok thanks

Yes, a noob (very cool noob video!) with first question. Yes I searched - be gentle with me :angel:
Brand new I717. Never had an ATT SIM in it. Took it out of the box, network unlocked it, put a USA Tmobile SIM in it, and rooted it. Nothing else done yet. Works fine, with expected lack of 3G/4G data. To get that I have to flash a modem - Blaze or similar. This much I know. Questions:
1. I travel a lot. Mostly UK, Iceland, New Zealand. Are there any gotchas with using a custom modem overseas? Which is the best all-rounder for good data performance in USA and overseas?
2. For avoidance of doubt, is there any dependency between ROM and modem? Can I flash a custom ICS ROM e.g. Goldie and worry about modem later? Are they entirely independent? (ok that qualifies as a real noob question lol)
Thanks!
Mike
Roms and modems are independent.
I suggest your next step is to Odin flash CWM recovery.
When traveling overseas most carriers use the same frequencies as AT&T. US T-mobile is pretty unusual with their dual band set up.
So in the US follow the T-mobile suggested modem (blaze) and keep the UCLF5 modem and blaze modem on your sd card. Then you can flash either one depending on the carrier you use.
Have CWM and a few modems in cwm zip format so you don't need a pc.
Many thanks ranger; Seraphim ICS & Blaze modem installed and working and looking like Android is supposed to. Had to go in and manually select carrier before phone would show a signal, but then it came up 4G right away.
Thanks again!
Mike
You might look for the local carrier in the countries you intend to visit now and take a screen shot of the local carrier's APN settings.
Example for Canadian carrier:

"lightbox_close": "Close",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
That way when you get your sim you can input the APN info and get right to business.
Its easy. Just google for example "vodafone iceland apn settings".
I'm considering this phone but I want custom roms, but I need to use verizon. I know the h930 is europe and they dont use cdma but is the hardware existent to use cdma/verizon wireless?

Why not get the "open market" LG V30 US998, which has CDMA? It's the official carrier unlocked model for North America which will also get bootloader unlock, root, ROMs, etc -- just like the European models. That's the one you want.

And no, not the U.S. Cellular model, I'm talking about the official carrier unlocked model US998. I always have to say that, or someone will ask if that's the U.S. Cellular model. The North America open market model US998 is sold by authorized retailers, not by carriers. Which is why it's important you buy it new and not on eBay or Swappa. The only difference is the IMEI on the "open market" models, which will be eligible for LG Developer bootloader unlock.
On carrier unlocked models like this you will need to have an already activated Verizon SIM card to put into it. Someone said Verizon doesn't require that anymore, but another person just ran into that issue a couple of days ago. (Depends on what kind of Verizon plan you have, apparently.)

No, only North American models include CDMA. The hardware is not there. Get an US unlocked one ( see previous post).
Thank you guys so much for the help. I'm sure another person will find this useful. Happy modding guys.
Device is a pretty much new LG V30 from verizon, running android 8.
I have done pretty much nothing with the device yet. No root, no tinkering, nothing. I accidentally accepted the software update request it showed me today, which I didn't want. I shut the device down but everytime I would turn it on it would start the update progress.
The only other option I had was booting into recovery, so I did that. I was presented with the following options:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So I went with factory reset. After that the phone won't boot anymore, and all I see is this screen:
What can I do now?
Again: No root. No unlocked bootloader. Nothing. I used LG's "require password on boot" feature though, which I assume is equal to android's full disk encryption. (?)
I talked to LG already since it's under warrenty (got it literally last week) - LG however told me the warrenty is void because there is a small crack on the back of the phone. WTF? Is that even true? I didn't drop the phone. I don't even know where the crack comes from. It's small. Shouldn't the warrenty cover that TOO instead of voiding the warrenty for everything else? Like jesus christ all I want is LG to fix my software why does a crack on the back matter?
From what I see my only option is to access fastboot and re-flash the ROM? The thing is: How do I access fastboot on this phone? Power and Vol- brings me into recovery (stock) everytime. Are there flashable images for the V30?
No one knows what I should try or what I could look into? This doesn't sound like it could be something overly complex to me.
Issue still persists. I had a talk with verzion at their store and they said I'd have to pay a $149 deductible. So what can I do now?
I'm assuming flashing a ROM via fastboot. Two questions:
1) Where can I get the ROM from?
2) How can I access fastboot on this phone? The method suggested everywhere puts me in LG's stock recovery, not in fastboot.
Can someone who's running the US Unlocked firmware tell me what their 3 cscs display as? I got into the One UI 2.0 Beta within 10 hours of it going live, but still no OTA. I wonder if I forgot to wipe after going from Sprint to unlocked. I used the CSC that wipes the phone, but I may have forgotten to wipe after and I'm not sure if I needed to.
My CSC displays as XAS/XAS/ATT. In the past the last CSC displayed as ATT and otas did work (I was on Unlocked at the time)

The android 10/ One UI 2.0 Beta was basically open for registration the first day, and then went away for those who didn't get to it fast enough. Since they're doing a first come first serve thing. Hoping I get the OTA soon
Hi!
I'm from Peru, about three months ago I bought an S22+ 256gb version through a reseller here in my country (official Samung store only sells the 128gb vairant). Since I was not receiving the Android 13 update I decided to check if I could do it manually, after following some tutorials I ended up in this deadspot, turns out my phone has this weird CSC code that I can't find anywhere else on the internet.

I don't know if it's necessary, but I'll provide some info about my phone when i received it:
It had AT&T stuff inside the box, as well as an sticker on the back of the box, at first i thought it was a locked phone, but it didn't had any proprietary apps. Everything was sealed, phone was clearly new.
While browsing the web, i found this page that let's you check if your phone IMEI was blacklisted, I cheked mine and it has two IMEI, one is blacklisted and one is not. I can use it to make and receive calls as well as use the LTE with my local service provider.
I'm fairly new to this whole "unlocked phone" thing, so my question is... Did I screwed myself up by buying an AT&T stolen/contrabanded phone from the reseller?, or is there a way to update my phone to Android 13 manually without risking bricking it forever.
If some of you guys can help me figure this out, that would be amazing, thanks!
You have a US model. I think the applied CSC is T-mobile but I'm not sure. You can use this tool: https://samfw.com/blog/samfw-frp-tool-1-0-remove-samsung-frp-one-click Under adb commands get a list of CSCs, see if the one you want is there. Then you can go back to the tool's main screen and change your CSC. Takes 10 seconds + a reboot, no data loss. Worked for me both on my Tab S8+ and S22+. Since your CSC is not part of the OXM package I'm not really familiar with the options you'll get on the list. I think XAA is good, it's listed online as USA unbranded. But I'm not from the US so I'm not sure what will have the fastest updates.
Edit: I just saw you have one IMEI blacklisted. Yeah it's probably a bit shady... Not sure if it had any further consequences.
