Is there a possibility of a001lg v60 cross-flushing? - LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers

We saw a case of cross-flashing of v60s such as us-cellular, sprint, etc. with t-mobile.
I tried cross-flashing my lg v60a 001lg with t-mobile after seeing this case, but it failed.
Compared to the US and ea editions, there were no five partitions in my v60a001lg.

There are five.
As I watched the Windows 11 installation process on Snapdragon devices, I found that I could add partitions.
Currently, a001lg soft bank devices are estimated to be out of support on Android 11.
There was a patch recently on November 10th, but there is no security patch.
If it is confirmed that the support has been cut off and there is a replacement device, I would like to create a partition and try cross-splashing, but I would like to know if there is a possibility.
I know you can use a Medoux machine, but it's too expensive and not very good at manipulating.
Please give me some advice.

I cannot boot into fastboot (or recovery)

Hello, I have a LG G5 RS988. I've been fiddling with custom ROMs a bit trying to get the signal to be stable on AT&T. I had finally given up and was going to just try it stock rooted. I don't remember what order i took these actions, but the end result is that i cannot boot into fastboot mode or recovery mode (TWRP was installed but is now gone).
I believe my first attempt was to wipe -> flash [LG-RS98811d-Flashable.COMPLETE-ARB01]
I think this is where i encountered the bootloops and quit messing with it for a day or so. When i came back to it, i've tried literally everything i can find to do to get it back to stock.
I have used LGUP with the uppercut 1.0.0.0 file to 'upgrade' it back to RS98811c_00_ARB01.kdz or any other .kdz i could find. While i had it in fastboot i had attempted to flash some things, but it eventually wouldn't boot so i set it into download mode. Now i can boot into android 6.XX but i have no access to the fastboot screen. It just shows the battery charging percentage...
Please help.

I've already mentioned this in another thread, but you will have to send this in for repair. Flashing lower KDZ versions even with the same ARB version can hard brick your device. It can be repaired through the 'firehose' method that needs non-free proprietary firehose file, partition xml, and stock mbm/bin images. Or through the JTAG box method which is what I do. This model RS988 is the hardest to repair because it is uncommon unlike the other variants. You won't be able to fix it another way otherwise. Also AT&T blocks LTE access to non AT&T devices especially generic unlocked versions from Huawei, OnePlus, Google, and Xiaomi. Even if you do connect, you'll fall back to 3G/HSPA/HSDPA/HSPA+ when calling or temporary LTE loss, but can reset the radio by toggling airplane mode. If you check your IMEI through them it will show up as generic and you won't get LTE access through their whitelist. You could try to call them and explain this issue, and do insist, you should end up with a higherup tech support person that can add your phone to their list. I haven't tried this since I'm on TracFone an MVNO, so I doubt this will work, but it has for others. This LTE issue also happens for Verizon users, as they only like white-listed phones to use their network.

Send it in to whom? Do you know what the cost to expect?

You could expect to pay around $50-70, but do read my dm. Don't purchase remote PC repair methods. They could install malware on your computer, and the USB client redirector may not work for a hard bricked phone.

network unlocking a H901

I have 3 H901 's
#1 -is DEAD.It had a good IMEI ,i have the sticker.I don't know if was unlocked or not
#2 is unlocked and rooted is running android 5.1 (is asking me to uptadate to masrshmallow everyday but i don't want to)I have TWRP backup.
#3 is rooted but network locked,and runs android nougat.(yes, a rooted nougat with TWRP and magisk 16 big thanks to (runningnak3d)I also have a TWRP back up
I want to network unlock V10 # 3 but T-Mobile won't help. I have both , ZX3 LG soft and MiracleBox soft
Can someone tell me how i can unlock V10 #3?

Is your #3 eligible for unlock? You can check on their website your phone's IMEI status here: https://www.t-mobile.com/verifyIMEI.aspx
T-Mobile might not help you because your phone might not be eligible for unlock.

same boat as you i replaced my h901 unlocked with a salvage motherboard after the original bootlooped . only after did i realize it had bad imei with tmo and they wont help obviously.i tried a lot of things to unlock it none of which worked.after rooting the server doesn't even respond.But i think since you have a unlocked h901 already, you might be able to copy a dump of it onto the other locked one assuming you update it to nougat as well and it remains unlocked. I'm just assuming here, someone can correct me if im wrong.
update to nougat on unlocked.
using the patched lgup make a full dump of unlocked one
flash that onto locked one?
again, i'm just assuming here.the unlock info might be on a completely off the books partition or different chip.Runningnak3d probably knows whether this would work or not.

Thank You for your help.I think jass65 is getting closer.
The question would be:
How can I dump EFS partition from unlocked phone,
Flash EFS partition from unlocked into locked
Then repair IMEI using the dead phone.
The problem is that EFS partition is protected and hidden and i don't see EFS nowhere
How can I dump EFS parttion from an unlocked H901?

Yes thats what i was thinking.flash unlocked partition and restore the original imei.though i also dont know how to read efs on the v10.
edit. actually the lg 2-3g tool 9.5 has option to read, backup and write qcn, nv, security which is basically efs i believe. tried my self and backed up qcn successfully will try writing.Maybe this would work? if that doesnt work. you can try qfil. Please keep posted on this.
edit 2 qfil also backs up qcn and restores successfully
edit 3 tried a h900 qcn i found online.it successfully restored via qfil and phone rebooted fine. imei also changed to the one of the h900 but still locked!! going through another forum it seems the unlock is somewhere in the security zone , im quoting someone's unlock log i found on gsm hosting.this is for the h900.

As you can see its working with the security zone.I tried reading security zone using the lg tool but it says "not exist security block".
btw, you will need to enable diag port in the service menu to properly connect to the program.

I just gave up on this,I can't believe that here on XDA ,the world's biggest Developers website no one knows how to dump a EFS "protected" partition file from a phone and write into another.

There are plenty on xda that know how; however, and unfortunately, spoofing or altering a device's IMEI/MEID to a value other than the value originally assigned to the device by the OEM, is highly illegal in the United States and most countries worldwide. But, in theory, and for educational purposes only, nv data can be rewritten (to match that of a network unlocked device) on the LG h901 via Qualcomm's QXDM/QPST, by forcing the device into EDL mode. There is no /efs partition on the h901. The six primary partitions which encompass the radio firmware are /modem, /fsg, /fsc, /ssd, /modemst1 & /modemst2. The nv data resides in the latter two. If there are any h901 device owners still interested in a universal network unlock method, please leave a comment to that effect. I will research the legal ramifications involved with this procedure, as well as XDA rules/ethics/guidelines. Any method which delves off into modifying/altering the IMEI/MEID of a mobile device can get into a slippery slope in terms of what is considered legal and illegal pursuant to federal and applicable state law. The Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Trade Commidsion has made many revisions to their regulations in this regard following 9/11. Simply writing an IMEI or MEID number to a mobile device is not, in and if itself, illegal. Altering, modifying or otherwise changing a mobile device's unique identifiers is illegal when it is done to "spoof" the identifiers assigned to another mobile device. Moreover, any modifications or alterations to a device's identifiers, when done to falsely represent its true identifiers or to otherwise "mislead or falsely represent" information provided to the mobile network is also unlawful. By unlawful, I do not mean a slap on the wrist or imposition of a meager fine. The Mobile Device Theft Deterrence Act (MDTDA) of 2015 intended to impose stiff penalties to offenders convicted under this law, including up to five years in federal prison and a $1,000,000 fine. Oddly, the bill was introduced by the 114th Congress, but was never passed into law. The FBI, FCC, FTC, CIA, the Secret Service and the Department of Homeland Security utilize a revised "catch-all" federal statute to criminally charge suspects with this type of crime, pursuant to U.S. Code §1028 - Fraud and related activity in connection with identification documents, authentication features, and information. Penalties for violations of this statute vary broadly, depending on the applicable subsection or provision used for a conviction. Around 2 years in federal prison and a $10,000 fine are average penalties imposed to offenders in past cases. US prosecutors may also opt to seek a conviction with an enhanced penalty for defendants violating the statute under circumstances involving terrorism, thus increasing the sentencing cap to a maximum of 30 years in federal prison. In India, as well, a law was enacted in 2017 which imposes stiff penalties to individuals convicted of "tampering of the Mobile Device Equipment Identification [IMEI]," or for "knowingly using a mobile device whose IMEI number has been changed unlawfully or software that can change or tamper with [the IMEI]." This statutory language has been revised into India's existing Section 65 of the Information Technology Act (ITA) and mandates a penalty of up to 3 years in prison and a fine of up to 200,000 Rupees (about $2,800 US currency). As of January, 2019, altering a mobile device's unique identifiers in a manner that conceals its true identifiers has been deemed illegal in most countries throughout the world.
I apologize for the loquacious dissertation on the legalities of altering mobile device identifiers. However, I believe it important that members be fully informed on this subject. In these type scenarios, it is always wiser to err on the side of caution. Also, as a disclaimer, this information should not be substituted for sound legal advice from a competent attorney at law. I am a paralegal in the states of TN, OH and KY. But to be clear, I am not a practicing member of the bar association, nor do I possess a Juris Doctorate. Again, if any members would be interested in a tutorial for network unlocking the h901, I will fully research loopholes, case precedent and legal principles that define the full gambit of legality on this subject. I can also touch base with XDA Admin and Mods to gain insight on the administrative level

You have no idea what you're talking about, No its not illegal. The FCC made it legal for anyone to alter any device if it is not conforming to the co sumers stabdards about 2 years ago! Stop soreadibg false information!

Network lock with update?

Hello there fellows, i'll try to make my question simple. My uncle got a new phone so he threw away his old one which i took, its an LG V10 H901 its T-Mobile if i'm not mistaken, Anyways I'm out of Canada for a long time now and the phone is fully unlocked and runs on all the networks i was able to test, but its running android lollipop and i really upgrade to nougat, but from a previous experience with a Galaxy S6, upgrading just like that might lock back the network, and i have no idea if its the same case for this V10 too, as i am not in Canada anymore even contacting T-Mobile won't be that easy at all (tried before), so what i wanna know is, will the network get locked if i upgrade the Android ? as i'm going to do it manually since i can't receive OTA outside the region.
All informations are appreciated, and thanks in advance.
Edit: In T-mobile website where i enter the IMEI to see if my device is illegible for unlocking i got a congratulations saying my device can be unlocked.
- Also, The phone is rooted so my guess the bootloader should be unlocked right ? (Stock recovery btw). Now the weird part about that is that when i try to reboot to fastboot/bootloader from Terminal/ ADB/ Volume Down And USB/ Application With Root, there is no fastboot or bootloader i guess, i even found a similar post on the forums here but no answer for it too!
Now my guess that flashing the KDZ will flash all partitions and fix it but i am still afraid of the carrier lock!

In general, once a phone is unlocked, it stays unlocked forever as long as it disables the sim lock check in the phone and updating the software or doing factory reset doesn't change that. From what I have read and researched previously, the sim unlock status is stored and enforced via a certain partition on phone for example, in some phones it is nvram or nv data partition, the same partition that stores phone's IMEI number as well. It is not likely that you will loose sim unlock status just by updating to nougat.
But do keep in mind that that some of the LG V10 H901 T-Mobile versions have a korean motherboard where LG Bridge tries to update it with the wrong version of the rom bricking the phone, and people have reported here on XDA that even after unbricking they lost their IMEI info from the phone permanently and phone modem stops working.
I would suggest that you make sure which sub-variant of the H901 you have before you attempt to do any flashing, especially through LG UP.
I personally just bought a used H901 myself and was trying to decide if my phone is one of the ones with korean motherboard.

Not yet. I have not been able to dump it with patched LGUP and DLL I have tried DLL from "LMQ710MS" which is a Qualcomm chip, "LMQ710BAW" which is a south America QNote+ but seems to be the same phone on the inside. Also tried "LMQ710FA" a south America Q Stylus Plus seems to be same on the inside. both have the MT6750S
I have gotten it to pretend it dumps the phone. It goes through the motions but open any of the files in hxd and they are either full of 00 00 00 00 or have what looks like GPT repeated info in it. I have not been following LG much and this is just for fun for me. I tried to use the Lg download mode tools in python but cannot seem to get a connection I am guessing since they came out in 2016 LG has switched up their protocol. Seems they encrypted the DLL's as well.
I have tried LG Bridge, LG Mobile Support Tool. The logs show the IMEI check fails. I assume it means it is a sprint/boost phone as I know the IMEI is not blacklisted or stolen. But more of they realize it is a boost/sprint unit and block it. I tried every trick I could find I get as far as it says "downloading software" but it just hangs. I am going to try fresh installs after while just to rule it out. I would like to find out if anyone has used any LG tools to do a firmware update or firmware error recovery on a Sprint or Boost phone that is within 6 months old.
The story I heard is Sprint thinks their OTA updates should fix everything there is no reason to release firmware. I sure hope T-Mobile is buying Sprint. It seems is trying very hard to drive down there sell price... I talked to LG, of course, they cannot do anything until one of there techs puts hands on it. I am thinking of just trading it in it is only 4 months old. I just hate to give up or fail. But there is some type of issue with them I highly doubt the person above and myself are the only ones that have had this issue. I know there is at least 1 more person seen them on Lg forums.
If I make any headway or happen across a fix I will update within this thread.

I had the same problem. I just bought a new one from Walmart and returned the busted phone in its stead. Not exactly on the up-and-up, but boost will eat that cost. Is there a way I can extract the KDZ from my phone now? It's the same phone, just with all the bootable slots!

Thank you so much for offering your help.
Actually, it is not a difficult process to extract that file.
First thing needed is to install QPST and enable the phone serial port.
After that, you need to open a program called EFS Explorer and then extract the files.
You can find a video that explains the process here

After installing the Qualcomm drivers, you will see LG Diagnostic Port, and LG Serial Port in device manager. Manually update/replace the serial port driver with Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 9025. Then in the phone hidden menu you have to turn off the diag port under SVC, Port Check Test as shown in the video above. Then it should show up in QPST and EFS explorer

I have all the carrier_policy.xml files, TM VM EA. But I have some questions first. In which country and what is the name of the Carrier? The only reason I'm asking is: As far as I know, nobody in the US has crossflashed (most have been crossflashing the lmv600am) and really been able to get a 5G signal. Yes, I know it may have the 5G moniker on the taskbar but using Netmonster tells a different story, as do other tools. It's 4g masquerading as 5g. For example, on the v50/v60 on tmob network, using b66 shows it's 5g when it really isn't. When you crossflash with a KDZ the efs partition is not overwritten nor should it be because it contains imei info. Any file (carrier_policy.xml as an example) in the efs to be change has to be DL from the efs partition using Qspt, edit, and then reloaded. Show are you really getting a 5g band on your phone??????

I have all the carrier_policy.xml files, TM VM EA. But I have some questions first. In which country and what is the name of the Carrier? The only reason I'm asking is: As far as I know, nobody in the US has crossflashed (most have been crossflashing the lmv600am) and really been able to get a 5G signal. Yes, I know it may have the 5G moniker on the taskbar but using Netmonster tells a different story, as do other tools. It's 4g masquerading as 5g. For example, on the v50/v60 on tmob network, using b66 shows it's 5g when it really isn't.

I've been trying forever to get this to work with my ATT with stock FW and when crossflashed to EA, and you're right, I think it just doesn't, regardless of fw version installed. I've pulled the EA EFS policy files as well as the ATT ones, modified them, reuploaded and 5G just will not turn on. I've persisted so long because this method worked fine on my V50, however that one is a V500N (korean variant) whereas this is a V600AM (US/ATT variant), so I think that may have something to do with it. Have tried adding MCC-MNC, editing the rf_band lists, all sorts of combinations. I have a feeling that when the sim is inserted the phone doesn't even look at the modified xml files in the EFS partition and just generates it's own with the american models, but this is just speculation.
The other thing I noticed is that when I edit my ftm file to regain my serial number and remove the NT code error, the outer screen on the dual screen attachment works again, but then I lose 4G altogether and revert to 3G without data.
On my V50 all I had to do was add '5G' to some band lists and it worked, however, that unit is not crossflashed and still has stock korean firmware.

Well I can tell you that there's a running discussion on a lot of the points you just made not the least of which is whether or not the modem is being provisioned at activation and if so what exactly and how much.
I have 2 lmv600am which I got off Ebay. Both had been crossed to EA fw when I got them. Since I'm on Google Fi, I went to the AT&T unlocking site and Sim unlocked. I then put my G-Fi sim into 1 of my v60 and sure enough I get a 5G moniker on my taskbar. Now during this time period Tmob is changing their policies on LG phones, mainly since LG is no longer in business. For example, lmv450 no longer actives on Tmob nor any of it's mvno's and I believe the same is happening for all Sprint phones plus all LG non-tmob phones. They're checking by imei.
So it didn't take long and bam, I wasn't even getting a 5g moniker. I call G-Fi and asked, WTF. I was told that G-Fi is now only allowing Google and Samsung phones to activate with 5G services, only 4g for V600am. Once again imei strikes. BTW you can page thru modem protocols here; *#546368#*600#>field test>modem settings>engineering mode to see if you even have the 5g protocol loaded. I use to but now I only have 2g, 3g, hspa and lte.
The only reason I'm bringing all this up is because Carrier Policies are changing with LG phones so It's worth a tech support call/chat with your carrier to see what's what on their side.
The next step would be to use a serious network app to verify what really going on. I think in your area the G-Mon app is being used a lot. I use Netmonster in the US. I saw a screen shot from a guy in Poland, I believe, that thought he was getting 5g only to find out that it was really lte+ 3xCA. He was getting 727.3 Mbps on the DL which is absolutely screaming. That’s faster than 99.9 % of the phones in the US.

Forgot to mention that I noticed that after a fresh flash, the xml files present in the EFS are different before and after inserting my sim.
Interesting but also disappointing to hear about the IMEI checking :/
I've been through hidden menu settings, and depending on which firmware I have installed I can see different bands and modem protocols available/activated, but can still never turn 5G on with my american V60's.
I had so much hope for this handset since firehose was made available!
Which reminds me, I even bootloader unlocked and rooted my crossflashed at&t unit. Successfully install Magisk etc, but couldn't enable r/w on system partition, even after generating and flashing a modified super partition. Something else going on here.

YOU need to check out the v60 group over on Discord.

Increase the partition expansion to 300 or 400

How do you change partition sizes?
