I wouldn't recommend it, but I used LGUP and installed the Verizon software on my Sprint phone by mistake. But to my surprise, the phone booted, and i could make phone calls.

Why you wouldn't recommend it? Not everything works? Or there are other issues?

1. I didn't check to see if everything else worked. 2. If you want to stay on Pie, and everything else won't work you will have to find someone like VLAD to install Pie back on your phone.
Pie isn't installed on Sprint yet.

Maybe I'm not putting it in the proper folder. Do you need root for this? What exact folder am I moving this to?

ZVI tot now available

File works fine in LGUP. Don't ask me how to install or use it - there's plenty of that already on the forums.
If you use this to upgrade from a lower version, you may get hard bricked if you attempt to then downgrade again in the future. I know for a fact that you cannot downgrade past ZVD, but I do not know if they also incremented the bootloader in any versions between ZVD and ZVI. So I would only recommend upgrading if you know for a fact that you will never want to downgrade. And maybe someone else will be able to chime in on whether you can downgrade from this version.
Happy flashing!
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=889964283620755817
If anyone wants just the system.img (for making custom ROMs or extracting bits and pieces), you can find it here. It's untested as I don't own a G4 anymore, but at the very least, don't flash it if you're not already on ZVI.
For anyone who wants to extract the system.img themselves, just download and compile LGBinExtractor, point it towards your TOT, confirm that it's a valid TOT, accept all the prompts, and wait. The tool doesn't fully recognize G4 TOTs and won't automatically name the dumped partitions, but the system.img is usually the largest (around 4.3GiB) and last one dumped.
Oh man I wish I knew how to use the img file to update mellowmallow! I hate that I'm stuck using an older ROM just because I want to keep wifi tether option! I see no way to maintain the free wifi tether hack if I upgrade to ZVI, if anyone knows a way?

Can You? I need ZVI unlocked.
I bought a new G4 with ZVI (locked) installed. I want to downgrade to ZVA, ZVB or ZV5,6... So that I could install a custom rom bcz there is no way to enable APN settings in it. How can I do that, any help?
Does anybody has rooted img of ZVI?

This is for both of you downgrade is not possible and root is even farther If you have to have root Pick a different device.
Is ZVI still Marshmallow? or is it Nougat? Is there official Nougat for Sprint G4?

Didn't someone post that they were able to do use the LG G5 sprint unlock method posted ..........for their LG G4 sprint on ZVD ? They said it worked until they took an update.
I know ZVF can be downgraded to ZVD. So if ZVI can be downgraded to ZVD (not sure), then maybe that is a possible working unlock with ability to edit/add apn.
So the first question is if ZVI can be downgraded to ZVD.

I didn't need Odin. I got the OTA 2 nights ago. I have the US unlocked on Sprint, not that the carrier matters. All US Unlocked phones should have the update now.

Has anyone been successful in getting Call Plus on Sprint with the an unlocked Note 8? I read on several sites it was included with the Oreo update.
Just did my update to Oreo last night and haven't seen Call Plus. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

i really haven't gotten a straight answer to this question either. I'm assuming that it's not possible yet because I have searched long and far and haven't seen a video of this being done or a tutorial.

there is no link from op and that link you gave was for the n model. Those sights never work for flashing.

All signs point to BS as far as I can tell but the op title had my hopes up lol. I think LG is under a contract agreement not to release such firmware, it'll only happen if it's an internal leak.

Tmobile v40 Pie update in testing phase

As long last...
htqtps://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-39251
Its quite strange that still not even Pie beta update was released in Korea
Maybe T-Mobile give pie before Korea to users.
What’s the point..
The third beta for the Android 10 Q is now available, with the final release expected in August.
I have a Verizon V40 and just got the Pie update today. I am in the US. Have to enjoy it since it will be the only update this phone sees! I am using a 3rd party launcher, so my phone looks no different. But, I can say I got Pie!!

Just got the Pie update for T-Mobile last night. So far no problems.
Anyone else having a harder time swiping their notifications down? I notice a lot of the times it will drag down a bit then bounce back to the top so I have to try and swipe it slowly and deliberately to make sure it pulls down sometimes. Never had this issue before the Pie update. Not a huge bug but pretty annoying and it happens at least once or twice a day.

Question Need help updating my device (FIXED IT BY MYSELF. IT WORKED.)

Can anyone help me here? I'm using a S21 Ultra which has U based firmware and it's an AT&T model. I'm not living in USA and that is why I can't update my device. If I switch to U1 will I be getting updates outside USA? Or is there other ways to get updates on my phone? I don't want to manually update everytime. I want to get updates normally. Please help me.
When i switched to U1. I was able to get OTA. Im outside US as well. Im on ASIA.
