Hi everyone, my first post on XDA.
My wife and I both own a LG G8X thin q ATT branded phone - LM-G850UM1. Both phones were working on red pocket until my phone updated to Android 11. I don't know how that happened except I turned on developer mode on my phone and selected auto update. I think that may have caused that. I've since turned that off. But now my phone is on Android 11 and won't take or make callse.
My wifes phone, same model but using Android 10 works just fine still.
So far my only hope is to try to flash the phone back to android 10 but there's a catch. The KDZ file i found says it's for canada on the LG fan site.

My wifes phone shows G850UM20e as the version but on the LG fan site is shows this as canada? ATT is in the USA - leavine me confused.
Could I use the kdz file to flash to my phone? Not sure if it will brick it. Also are there drivers needed to install on the phone? I know there's a usb driver to connect the phone to a pc to flash it, but I thought I read someone saying you have to install the phone drivers to the phone.
Any advice, I'm all ear.

Make a backup copy of the firmware from her phone.If you're still using AT&T as your provider,flashing a different firmware won't fix the VoLTE issues.You need the AT&T firmware on the device for it to work.If you do make a copy of it I could use a copy as well for my G8x.
Добрый день всем. Вы можете помочь? Нужен полный дамп прошивки lg g8x AT&T

Hi everyone,
I'm comparatively new here. I have LG Optimus G Pro F240L. When I connect it with LG PC Suite through my laptop, it shows the option to upgrade the firmware. However, the download is very slow. It just reached to 35% in three hours once and 37% the second time (I have 1MB DSL connection). Is there any way that I can download the official update manually, so that my phone do not need to be connected all the time with laptop.
Need expert opinion.
Thanks

Search the guide about flashing your mobile by LG Flashtool here. You can download latest firmware ( Officials or Custom ) available to your mobile by the given links in this forum..
So that way you can pause the download and resume it later when possible. Then flash your mobile with it..
But first you need to learn how to flash.. Which is quite easy if you follow the instructions..
Thanks a lot for the suggestion.
I have learned enough and have flashed my phone with 5.0.1 successfully
I had flashed my LG G Pro F240L with 4.4.2 and then 5.0.1 afterwards. Can I again go back to 4.4.2. If yes, how? As 5.0.1 is consuming lot of battery. One more question, when I want to dial in 5.0.1, it does not accept my country code and call ends with going through. I have to remove country code from my phone and then dial. This way it works. Any idea what to do?

nope, that didn't work cuz the lg stock roms come in .kdz format and that program uses .mbn files, but i used lg flashtool 2014 and flashed the stock rom again, but it don't change anything

uhm, never used LGUP even if I have G2 and G Pad 7 (always used LG Flash Tool but it seems is for international version only), but anyway: guess you installed the right drivers and check if there are errors in Device manager (the exclamation mark in the driver icon)? Usually when LG devices are not recognized by the flashing tools the issue is with drivers, so trying on a different PC may help (you can't imagine how many times worked for my LGs!!).
Also the LG PC Suite (don't know if it's available for you) has an option to restore a bad update (firmware update) and - like LG Flash Tool 2014, too - you have the option to insert the IMEI before attaching the device to the PC, that way you somehow force the tool to select the right firmware to flash, does LG UP has something similar?

Yes, I have the universal drivers, I have tried it on another computer, I will try lg pc suite to see, lg flash tool only works with a single KDZ but it does not install, if I try to put the latest version it says it is not compatible: S

there are different LG Flash Tool tools.. One is LG Flash Tool 2014, requires kdz; one is LG Flash Tool 2.xxx and it requires tot firmware files; and then there's the original LG Flash Tool (used by PC Suite too) and it's the only one that let you enter the IMEI and it dynamically download the original firmware from LG servers.. but this is for my LG devices, G2 and G Pad 7, don't know if they're all good for your VS500..

When I try to use it, the LG flash tool got stuck on PRIMARY GPT 00000, and when I used Verizon S / W it got stuck at 3%.
The page can not provide me with a KDZ file, I have the latest version of this phone (VS50020I and VS500PP8). I'm using LG Firmare to download. I am very frustrated, I am using Lg Flash 1.8.x I need the latest version of this program

and lg flash tool 2014 says contact administator
Hey guys... Do you think I can root my LG g8x (lm-g850um 20f) with kingroot and then install super-sume pro which will then remove kingroot and it's shady files and will automatically replace with superSU. I would like to use TWRP but I understand it is still having problems. My phone is Carrier unlocked but I'm not sure if the bootloader is unlocked.
I have the same question. I have 2 G8x - a G850UM 20k and a G850QM 20b. LG has made promise to upgrade G8x to Android 12. Android 11 is coming in 3Q 2021. So I am not interested in 3party ROM. But I do want to root the phone and edit the "sound" config file so the Quad DAC would kick into high gear even for <50ohm IEMs or headphones. I did that with a LG V20 and a V30. I am certain this can be done with the G8x.
But I need to carefully root the phone, edit the file, and unroot cleanly afterward. kingroot scares me.
If nobody can answer the question, then I'm thinking about taking my phone down to the public library that has pretty laid back administration restrictions on software installs. I'll just try to follow one of the rooting guides from this forum and download all the software and hook my phone up via USB to the library computer since it's a Windows computer and try it there!
