[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ak_burton:
No need for catch up. I never got around to posting back then but your "frankenstein" method is nothing new, and FAR easier with the box. No complaints about setup or why this wont work or otherwise.

Ive been converting LG phones for at least two years now using this method, i just dont use lgup or otherwise anymore, sick of having to keep different versions of the same software for official, unofficial, modified, etc..... Pros use pro tools, they get the job done faster and often better. Dont knock the tools if you dont unserstand them or otherwise. They work, and they are well worth it if this is what you do for a living.

You can find my response concerning the LG G6 on another similar post months ago..... Ive been offsite for awhile so i apologize if this info has been shared already. My claims about sprint unlocking stand and can be found much further back than your "frankenphone" stuff......lol. That post makes me laugh...... That method has been around for awhile, definitely not the first time that or a similar method has been used.

It used to be you would use lg flash tool and port 41.....ring a bell? If it doesnt you definitely not been in the loop for LG sprint unlocks for but a minute ....

Suffice it to say, i was trying to help. I dont show up here often as its kind of like the b-string of research sites when it comes to repairing phones..... Its good but google translater is needed for the good stuff..... Try translating some of the vietnamese or Spanish language sites next time you need help with a phone..... Those guys know their **** and have had this solution for a long time now.

Basically, you are sharing someone elses work and getting mad about me sharing similar info. If you payed attention to development as you claim to do you would know that LG phones like these have been able to be converted for some time now. This isnt anything new.

The methods are similar with the difference being that my firmware is created specifically for this purpose and as far as the phone and system are concerned it is official. Lol. The only way youre going to get that with your method is to spoof an imei from the similar model....see where your method leads? No updates, etc....also cant be discussed here in detail other than to acknowledge that it cant be discussed here....lol.

Im trying to help. Dont get defensive, we are here to work together.

Dont assume.

I did this to the LG G6 back in november/december or so. The available firmware i used to convert left a couple issues so i didnt post until it was right.

My goal is to deliver an unlocked phone with as close to stock experience as i can without disabling updates due to some hacky method.....

Feel free to message me if you have any issues or would like to discuss it further. This isnt the place.

Man, you stacked the accusations deep there.

Lets address digging deep first. Whats the first thing you should do when researching something on xda...... Use the search button. (No digging) Then you read the thread.....(catch up).the whole damn thing. Thats how you learn, no skipping pages because thats how you miss important info. So i guess me reading every comment wasnt catching up, but i digress.

Then, if you have something to add that may help someone else you do that if you dont have more questions of your own. I did that.

Our methods are similar but not the same, dont claim what you obviously dont understand and its obvious you dont understand why you would use the box and not the hacky "developer" version of lg's official tools. Ill trust my solution all day and profit, yours will get patched again, as they always do..... Main point here, just because you have some thanks posted doesnt make you the end all say all and bashing me for posting is just asking for me to point out all of your mistakes like im doing here.

Also, claiming to be the one responsible for this method as your comments insinuate is wrong. You didnt develop this method so dont act like it.
