LG G8X model questions - LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers

Hi. I am looking at an LG G8X on Ebay and I have a few questions.
It is listed as model G850UM and factory unlocked for T-Mobile.
1. Does this mean it will be able to update to Android 11 (unlike the Sprint version)?
2. Is this version able to be rooted?

LG V10 H900: AT&T
LG V10 F600L: LG U+ (Korean carrier)
LG V10 F600S: SK Telecom (Korean carrier)
LG V10 F600K: KT Corporation (Korean carrier)
LG V10 H901: T-Mobile
LG V10 H961N: Dual Sim International
LG V10 VS990: Verizon
LG V10 H961: Single Sim International (NO 4G LTE IN THE US)
There are more versions but I do not think there is a single sim version with 4G LTE in the US right now.
I would like to purchase one myself and think I might just end up passing on this phone totally because of this.
I will be using Cricket (AT&T) service.
The AT&T V10 can not be rooted so I will not buy that.
The T-Mobile version is missing band 17 LTE so it will not work 100% with AT&T.
The International version does not support LTE at all.
Horrible situation to have this phone in right now, I bet it would sell 2x as much if it were just a little more compatible with other networks.

All released within the last few years top of the range smartphone supports LTE, it's probably harder to find a top of the range smartphone that doesn't support LTE.

Is there a way to rebrand the Korean V300K to the European H930DS?

Hi,
I recently got the V30+ for a really cheap price but I got the Korean KT version. So my question is if it's possible to rebrand it to the open European version?
Thanks for your answers.

The word you are looking for is not re-brand but convert. You want to convert it to H930.
You could do it with custom LGUP file -- convert one V30 variant to another -- but you would lose cellular connectivity and would at most only have Wi-Fi. There are people who do this for development reasons, convert one variant to another, but it's only on temporary basis while they do what's needed -- then they flash it back. With the V20 one dev created a method to flash to another variant firmware that wasn't patched yet for Dirty Santa. They were able to convert AT&T V20 to another V20 model, unlock bootloader, install TWRP -- then use that TWRP to flash back to TWRP-flashable zipped AT&T firmware, and still retain unlocked bootloader and TWRP custom recovery.
During that time the AT&T V20 was "temporarily" recognized as another V20, their SIM card didn't work, they had no cellular connectivity -- but they still had Wi-Fi and could sideload stuff.
This is actually a method being considered to root the T-mobile H932 V30:

But it won't help you, because it's only meant to be a temporary stage. You would lose important functionality.

Root lg g5 h831 canada

A guy i know at work has this model successfully rooted.(i saw with my own eyes).But the problem is he got layed off and i cant contact him.He also said that the tmobile version is identical to canadian version as far as specs and hardware.And it makes sence to me because i own a samsung note 4 canadian version and can flash any T-Mobile rom.Im wondering if he rooted using T-Mobile stuff.Any thoughts on this will be welcome
By the way i am on N 20c version using telus sim and factory unlocked.pretty sure he had exact same
Could be possible but there not risks? But i wanna try this because i want to get root on my LG G5 H831 but i don't know if the risk is big

LG V30 H931 AT&T model cannot update O.S.

My phone LG V30 H931 black AT&T model
i bought in dubai as 2nd hand phone and now
im trying to update OTA it says " Your device is already updated " . i have checked in AT&T software official site and the device has available update for July 2019 security patch. My phone security patch is still last July 2018 since i purchased it.
I also tried LG bridge computer update but it shows " LG bridge cannot detect your device O.S. " does it mean im stuck in 8.0 Oreo ? weird, i have a korean version LG V40 and connecting to Lg bridge has no problem it detects the current OS of my V40 LGU + model.
So i realized it maybe because my phone is AT&T model , USA based phone and im not using at&t sim nor network since im in Dubai now
Now question ,is there any other solution to update into android Pie 9.0? or should i just. sell my phone and better buy another V30 or V35 korean version which has no problem in updating O.S. rather than USA based phones which are restricted . thanks

But h931 don't have pie yet right?
yes ,but im curious why LG bridge cannot detect the current O.S. of my lg v30? im just worried that my phone might not receive android update after long time of waiting.
Last question sir, if the AT&T phone is unlocked already like my LG V30 case, i can insert dubai sim now and it is working to other sim as well, does it mean that i can update as well the software android in any country i go? because this is AT&T US based phone ,does it really require AT&T sim ? or no need since the phone is already unlocked? thanks

Months ago, I wrote a Guide for AT&T H931 and Sprint LS998 which can't update, if you are not AT&T or Sprint customer. It tell HOW to update them.
It's a sticky:

Got tired of answering the same questions over and over so I made it into a sticky. Please read it.

No, doesn't have Pie yet, but soon will. They will get Pie. But this question is not really about Pie, this is about updating H931 at all. There's only one way to do that, if you are not an AT&T customer. I tell how in the Sticky.
I've answered this question two or three dozen times and people just keep creating new threads to ask again. Thought sure the Sticky would help and maybe it has.

Device being carrier unlocked (by some code) has nothing to do with getting carrier-approved updates only allowed for that carrier's customers.
AT&T and Sprint don't want you using their devices on other networks, and if you do, they punish you. They also don't care about AT&T/Sprint customers who may sell their phones on eBay to non-customers.
There is a solution. Read the sticky.

Only AT&T H931 and Sprint LS998 are ostensibly restricted. There's a way around the restriction, explained in the sticky.
Neither carrier release public KDZ for their updates. They will only do FOTA (Firmware Over The Air) for customers who have their SIM cards.
This is why LG Bridge won't work for H931 or LS998, because you can capture the URL to the LG Server and post it publicly. We do this all the time in the OTHER variant KDZ threads, where you can download KDZ straight from LG Servers. AT&T and Sprint won't allow that.

Thanks for all the responses sir, i decided to sell my at&t used phone, manual upgrading software is too much hectic and risky for me as an ordinary user.
So this is a lesson learned from me and i strongly advised to all foreigners like me who wants to buy 2nd hand LG phones ,better buy korean variants or international version, avoid US based carrier brand phones.
Sk telekom, LG U + this korean variants are way better ,no restriction any country u go u can update the O.S.
Using my LG V40 korean variant thanks

* I've already explained it's not all U.S. carrier phones. However, if you research you will know AT&T and Sprint LG phones do not give updates to non-customers, nor do they publicly release KDZ update files. Those two carriers only release FOTA (firmware over the air) to customers.
* Most everyone here in this forum uses or has used LGUP. It's not risky if you just read the directions.
Many people on different LG variants don't get OTA updates (like India H930DS) and even my wife's native US998 -- and it's not because they aren't U.S. carrier customers. So they come here to get updates, and manually install them via Dev Patched LGUP.
For everyone else with AT&T H931 or Sprint LS998, here's the answer:

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.
dahveedsolorzano said:
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.
