no the phone home screen and when you connect device go to this pc and it should show LG G7 or something like that if it doesn't might need to replace charger port its hard to diagnoses phone without seeing it if you belive you installed the software correctly like drivers etc then it must be hardware issue.

idk if this apllies to you but after you connect a couple thousand lg's to the computer the driver starts to fail and i have to reinstall the driver to reset the com ports and that works for me

Hello Guys! I bought Bricked LG G7 G-710PM Converted to ULM and previous owner tryed to update Android 9, and the phone is stuck in fastboot mode. I picked phone to a service experts And the guy returned phone in working condition with software on VZ, no Ota updates - ERRROR 404. now i Flashed the phone with G710AWM10f_00_OPEN_CA_OP_0627 and In menu software info SHOW G710ulm10f and, no ota updates again.

Thanks for the write-up. I was able to flash from a SIM unlocked G710PM (Sprint) to G710ULM with working WiFi calling and VoLTE on T-Mobile.

Interestingly, mine does not have a blank S/N. When entering the "Hardware Info" settings menu, it briefly shows "Checking..." in the S/N box, and then the serial number shows up. Perhaps this is because I first flashed from the original Sprint ROM to the European Pie ROM (using this tutorial). After verifying the European Pie release can't do WiFi calling or VoLTE, I then flashed the Verizon Pie release using the same instructions from that tutorial (but replacing the KDZ filename with the Verizon one), and I finally flashed to G710ULM10j using the same approach after I realized that the Verizon release can't do VoLTE or WiFi calling either (at least not with my SIM).

After all that, my serial number still shows in the menu. However, LG Bridge still says it can't check for updates, so I'm guessing OTA still won't work. But I'll find out when/if another update ever shows up.

Edit: The G710ULM10j I flashed was the GFI one. What's the difference between the GFI and USA one?

Out of curiosity, can you check Settings, System, About phone, status. Under My phone number is your number shown?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] awireless:
I know there is some combination of flashing verizon and ULM to get updates ans stuff to work but i havent been abke to do it yet.

If you want to check if google pay and updates are working use this apk SafetyNet Helper Sample_v0.6_apkpure.com.apk just look it up on google and make sure your phone is connected to wifi or cellular data then run the test if it fails then no updats if its successfull then you can get uodates.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] mr3p:
Has anyone determined what causes the blank serial number and how to restore it in settings? It's still in the phone if you dial *#06#
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] neverremembermyusername:
Yes, it has my number listed there.

Looks like the CTS profile match fails while basic integrity passes. Bummer. I wonder what the trick is, if there is one...

Edit: Google Pay seems to work, though? I never use it, but I set it up just for the hell of it, after verifying the card in my account it said my phone is ready to pay in stores. So is Safety Net failing or not? I thought GPay wouldn't work if it failed...
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] awireless:
I was thinking of flashing all partitions except the partition the has the CTS profile infrormation in it(Or the information that is used for the check) but i dont have the time ti try and figure it out have to do alot of research and go through the hex code
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] neverremembermyusername:
I may look into it if I have time, but hell maybe OTA will magically work without it. (Google Pay just activated despite it failing Safety Net, so who knows?) I'll probably wait for Pie to show up (if it ever does), and then I'll know if the OTA shows up or not. Plus, it's possible that Pie will behave differently with regards to Safety Net for some reason, or it may be easier to hack together a solution using a mish-mash of Verizon's Pie and the unlocked Pie once it shows up. So in either case I'll probably wait, since I'm running the latest ULM GFI release right now. But I'll be frustrated if I have to wipe every time an update comes out, but at this rate that'll only be a couple times a year anyway, I guess...
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] harrychang:
did you ever find out how to get google pay working on ULM?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] neverremembermyusername:
I don't use Google Pay, but I think it "just works" on newer builds. Someone on the Telegram Group was saying the same as my experience: even if SafetyNet CTS profile fails, Google Pay seems to work now. I'm guessing Google or LG made a change to something. On my phone, I just verified that it would let me configure Google Pay, and it did. It said it was ready for contactless payments, even though SafetyNet fails.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] awireless:
Whats your build number.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] neverremembermyusername:
Build Number: OPR1.170623.032

Software Version: G710ULM10j

I verified that Google Pay would activate while failing CTS profile on SafetyNet with that build, at least on my phone. I've since unlocked and installed Magisk, though, so I'm passing CTS profile anyway at this point.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] nesnesnes:
Excellent explanation! I was hesitating to do so until I read your comment (and also thanks to everyone who contributed their experience and advice)

My G7 was stuck on May 1st 2018 Patch Security level without FOTA before the process

I installed version 10i (I had to flash twice, once per partition dl and again refubrished) and after configuring the cell phone started downloading the updates. First he installed 10j, then 20a and 20b.

I am currently with Android 9 and everything works perfect. I don't use Google Pay but the "SafetyNet Test" application gives a positive result. The S / N is NOT shown in "hardware"

I suppose I would have obtained a positive result if I directly flashed the latest software version, but I preferred to follow the example case.

The updates that went down after starting with 10i were the following (6, 7 and 8): https://es.verizonwireless.com/support/lg-g7-thinq-update/

For those that have moved to Verizon image, do you lose the WiFi hotspot due to it checking the subscription?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] kChemical:
No! I don't have Verizon, but rather Cricket Wireless and I can cast my data as a hotspot with zero issues. WIFI calling will check the subscription though so if that's something you actually use (unlike me), reconsider it

Hey guys, i just used this method to update my lg g7 from the May 2018 ULM to Verizon Pie which works almost great except for the seriously poor cellular reception, its always below -100dbm on any connection, 4g, 3g, 2g or just no service. Can I use the same method to downgrade from Verizon pie firmware to UML 10j? I could careless for new updates now, I just want my phone to work like an actual phone for now.

Edit: Nevermind, found it myself. Got kernel crash. But luckily there is another way so I managed to flash back to Oreo. The reception does seems more stable but still a bit bad compare to my redmi 5 plus.

Just my 2 cents, when I was on Sprint, LG G7, the ULM firmware caused CDMA issues on Sprint. I am no longer using the P.O.S. LG G7 and moved to Google pixel 3xl but this was recent, up until a month ago I was still on sprint/LG and this did not work. I'm only mentioning this to warn others to be cautious, I own LG octoplus so I was fine but others may not be.

ebay seller wirelesssdepot still doing this

Ebay seller wirelesssdepot is still selling these not actually unlocked phones. They list them as fully functioning ULMs but the IMEI is a PM. They won't do anything about it so I'll put them on blast in hopes to deter any sales. I imagine they're doing this with other phones too. It's false advertising. It's fraud. And it's a huge PITA for anyone not wanting to deal with all the workarounds.

Please help! I got one of the Sprint 710PM phones flashed with the 710ULM kdz. Didn't know until I got the phone. Then I found this forum. I was able to start the flash process with LGUP, but it errored out at around 74% writing the backup GPT. Without disconnecting the usb cable, I retried several times in refurbish mode. I also read that some users has success doing 'partition DL' first and then in refurbish mode. So I tried in partion DL mode with no success. Tried several times. Sorry, but I forgot to write down the exact error that popped up. I was trying to flash the Pie kdz G710ULM20d_00_NAO_US_OP_0612_2019-08-15.kdz for GFI region. All this time, my usb cable was still plugged in and the phone was still in download mode.

After a long while, I finally gave up, unplugged the phone and powered it down. Now when I boot it, it only goes to a screen that says "welcome to fastboot for bootloader unlock". I can toggle between restart and power off (using the volume keys). Seems like recovery has been wiped. I try to go into download mode, but it never gets there. I can see the download mode screen flash for a split second, then the fastboot screen appears.

Does anyone know how to get the phone back into download mode? I am hoping to try a different kdz, probably the GFI G710ULM10j version.

Thanks.

Update:

Since the phone is stuck in fastboot mode, I ran command fastboot devices and got "LMG710ULM88469400". I then tried to unlock the bootloader to see what model this phone really is and got the following from LG developer site: "Unfortunately, your device( United States, (SPRINT(USA)), LGG710PM.SPR )does not support unlocking the bootloader.". So it is confirmed this was a Sprint phone flashed with a different rom.

Any help on how to get my phone flashed to a working rom would be greatly appreciated.

[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] zyrst:
I just bought the exactly same LG G7 from ebay a few days ago then found this almost one year old thread. Here is my experience:

1. Followed the post #156 and #157 and flashed G710VM20b_01_0607. Yes I had to flash twice, partition dll then refurb. After setting phone immediately got 20c update, and Google Pay works. However, wi-fi calling didn't work, and it is kind of odd that the phone has Verizon logo but can't be used in Verizon.

2. I then re-flashed G710ULM20d_00_NAO_US_OP_0612. After "partition dll" the phone quickly rebooted to setting page, no need to flash again with refurb. This time Google Pay doesn't work. I am not sure if OTA update is working since I flashed the latest firmware. I have a Samsung S3 watch so tried to install "Samsung Wearable" app. I couldn't find it in Google Play store. When manually search it says the app is not compatible with this phone. There was no such problem in Verizon firmware. I downloaded the Galaxy Wearable apk file from apkpure. Fortunately it can be installed and paired to the watch. Samsung Pay works just fine from the watch so I don't care much of Google Pay.

IMO ULM firmware is a better choice if Google Pay is not a must-have. I am in T-mobile so wi-fi calling is more useful. I doubt there will be many OTA updates for this old model, and flashing new firmware is really easy anyway.

[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] neverremembermyusername:
I got Pie on my phone, but only by flashing it manually with LGUP once it came out for the ULM model. OTA does not work on PM models cross-flashed to ULM (at least, not generally -- maybe there's some exception?).

Works fine on T-Mobile though. VoLTE and WiFi calling both work, but there's a bug on Pie where WiFi calling turns itself off periodically. I think it's not limited to cross-flashed models, and is just a general bug.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] neverremembermyusername:
I very briefly used the VM firmware, on T-Mobile, on a PM device. I only tried it for probably 10 minutes, but it connected to the T-Mobile network without issue. However, WiFi calling and VoLTE are no-go on that firmware, at least out-of-the-box (it might be possible to root and modify some settings internally?). In contrast, ULM firmware has WiFi calling and VoLTE on T-Mobile on the same device.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] kruuzer92:

---------- Post added at 03:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:54 AM ----------

Could you tell me which version worked for you? I see three Pie firmwares for three different regions.

G710ULM21d_00_NAO_US_OP_0711.kdz (region BPT)

G710ULM20d_00_NAO_US_OP_0612.kdz (region GFI)

G710ULM20d_00_NAO_US_OP_0612.kdz (region USA)

I got my phone from ebay and it had v10b-LAO-COM firmware on it. I bricked my phone when trying to flash Pie G710ULM20d (GFI) firmware. I had to get someone to repair it and then was able to flash Oreo G710ULM10j (GFI). So I want to make sure I get the right Pie firmware before I try again.

Also, which version of LGUP did you use? Is it the version from post #1 of this thread? Or the dual LGUP version? Does it matter I wonder.

Thanks.

i flashed european PIE on a Sprint model so i can use Band 1 with my carrier as the ULM doesn't have it, however, LTE signal was dropping frequently. so i flashed ULM (supposing it wont work on Band 1 but i thought other bands will be enough if signal is stable). to my surprise, Band 1 also work on the ULM kdz and i have a stable signal! its been few hours but its definitely better than the European kdz.
