Thanks for your response. I already looked at that threat, but step 3 and step 4 is where I dont quite understand. I assumed that "extract " kdz file here means that using lg firmware extractor to extract kdz to dz and then extract dz file?! If that is right then I already tried that, but then still had to stop at step 4 where it askes for FireHose ( and in this case, I am trying to restore it to H873). By the way, QFIL requires XML files, patch files (or something like that) which I also dont have.

Error 0x2000

Hi i followed everything up to step 10. During that step i never get the popup for the LGUP common. I instead get an Error 0x2000. I searched up that error and it mentions using the wrong firmware? so i downloaded a few firmware for my phone but they all give me the same error during the same step.

The phone that i have is an LG G6 Sprint. LGUP shows as version LS993ZVA. it's on android 8.

Can anyone help me with this?

That didn't work either. I was still getting the same error. But i did fix it. I was able to continue and complete it.

I was connecting my phone to the usb on the front of my computer case. I decided to connect it to the usb on the back of the case thats directly to the motherboard.

It worked when i did that.

Thank you very much!

Flash to a rootable firmware?

Hi.

Now that i was able to flash this from an G6 LS993 into unlocked Canadian LG G6 H873, I found out the H873 cannot be rooted since it doesnt have an unlocked bootloader? Basically all sites were saying its only possible with the H870.

So my question is can i flash my phone to the H870 or another firmware that is able to be rooted? i would like to root my LG G6.
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] iurd2007:
I dont know. Sorry i didn't remember to tell you to use main usb
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] KidShinigami:
Currenlty have LS993ZVF, is there any way to downgrade to ZVA to do flash? Or is there a method to continue flash on ZVF. LGUP gives error 0x2000 usb backet fail when attempting flash currently
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] iurd2007:
Dont connect in front usb connect in motherboard usb ports. You dont need to downgrade.
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] KidShinigami:
That worked! LS993 is now H87320!, however im not sure where to go from here. I have a verizon sim inserted. In the top right it shows cell bars as if is connected, however... it also shows the "no sim" icon and currently dont have access to calls. What should i do from here?

[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] iurd2007:
7.0? Why dont flash Android Oreo 8.0?
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Firstblunt:
It was 8.0 to begin with and I was looking on the web how to root it and I figured the version was the reason I couldn't unlock bootloader so went with an older one version but turns out might just be phone itself that can't unlock bootloader
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] iurd2007:
Android version is not the problem, the Sprint locked bootloader is the problem. But at least you have a bloatware free and sim unlocked phone :)
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Firstblunt:
It's boost not Sprint lol but think it's same problem since can't find anything on the web bout boost

Both sim been tested for outgoing calls, incoming, texting, surfing, dowloads, everything is 100 percent working. If any person is worry about braking the cdma than this is not for you.

I have the AS993. I flashed it with AS99320b_02_0809.kdz and it's not picking up my Sprint settings. There is no option to update PRL. I tried the codes ##72786# and ##873283# , they don't do anything. I'm not sure what I can do here. I've gone through 3 different SIM cards and Sprint says they don't have the ROM or firmware. Is there something I can do to force the PRL update?

I had previously installed this version H87320i_00_OPEN_CA_OP_0204.kdz and had the same issues.

I have set my ls993 to a sim unlocked h873 android 7 using this method, however, i want to update the android version. how should i do this?
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vladimir TV:
Just select upgrade
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] narutotard:
from where?
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vladimir TV:
in LGUP, but before that, download the firmware: 87320i_00_OPEN_CA_OP_0204.kdz (https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h873-firmwares/#tab=firmwares)
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] narutotard:
I flashed my phone using the process above. If I just reconnect my phone with LG up and update it there won't be any issue? Like my phone sim locking or whatever?
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vladimir TV:
I updated through LG UP from the first page of the forum. Over the air, the update did not come. It turns out that we update forcibly.

I have not tried the official channel.
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] narutotard:
So you sim unlocked your phone using the method given above and then updated it with LG UP, 0 issues faced? I am asking because i really do not want to have my phone get sim locked again.
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vladimir TV:
Right. My LS993 had a SIM card blocked. According to the instructions, I flashed on the H873. Then I updated to the latest version of android. It all ended well.
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] narutotard:
I am sorry for being so anal but i wanna get this right. My phone is on android 7 using the method above. Could you, at your own convenience, list the exact steps you took to upgrade the phone using LG UP? I just really cant afford to mess this up.
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vladimir TV:
On the phone, be sure to enable USB debugging, connect the phone to the computer

Launch LG UP

Choose FOTA Upgrade

Choose BIN

Select .up file

Click "Start" and wait for success
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] narutotard:
Is your LG UP setup according to the original forum post? With the v20 patch and whatnot? Also, i dont need to do anything like factory reset whatever?
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vladimir TV:
Yes! My LG UP setup according to the original forum post with the v20 patch. After the first firmware, I reset to factory settings
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] narutotard:
So you followed the initial instructions exactly, got an unlocked G6 with android 7. Then you factory reset the phone and updated it with the instructions you gave me? That's it?

Could someone please, and I apologise for being that guy, a detailed revision of this method so that I could apply it to a LS993ZVF sprint Sim locked phone. I live in the United States and want to use the phone on straight talk. Please be so kind as to provide current sites for any software needed. I greatly appreciate the time it will take as the phone would be provided to a family in desperate need of a Straight Talk compatible phone as I will be adding the plan and paying for the services I just can't afford a new phone and I had this one collecting dust. You wouldn't know the amount of appreciation both me and the family would have. Thanks in advance.

Did you do that for sure?

Inside the patch that we have just unzipped, we will find the folder "Model" and the file "LGUP.exe" which we must paste in the path where the LGUP program is installed and thus replace the ones that already exist there.

Generally the path where it is installed is the following: C: \ Program Files (x86) \ LG Electronics \ LGUP

(Recommendation: Delete the folder and the existing file first and then paste the new ones)

I just used the modded version from the original post, when i select fota update, it wants a .up file and the KDZ file isnt readable. How do i get past this?
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vladimir TV:
Try this:

1. Turn off your phone completely

2. Press and hold the “volume up” key on your phone and connect it to the PC using the USB cable

The phone will go into "download mode" (or update the firmware). Now you can release the volume up button.

3. Launch the LGUP program. The program will detect your LG G6

After starting the application, click the "..." button and specify the path to the firmware file in the .kdz format that you downloaded earlier.

4. Select the firmware option "UPGRADE"

5. Click the "Start" button and wait for the process to complete.

6. Turn on the phone.

Or try installing this one LG_UP: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603845019
