I concur with [MENTION=4770959]whitedavidp[/MENTION].

The biggest rooting issues I see from US users are:

1) Not knowing which slot you are working from. Best to work from Slot A. How do you get to Slot A? See 2)

2) Oreo vs Pie. Don't root in Oreo. Root in Pie. Use download mode and LGUP to crossflash (unless you have a v405TA. If you do, just stop.) to V405QA (US unlocked) Pie. It gets you to the latest security release available for our phones, frees up a lot more bands, and resets things to Slot A.

3) Don't nuke your laf partitions unless you really, really, really know what you are doing. Because once your laf partitions are nuked, you lose download mode. With download mode, you can always start over with a fresh KDZ if your rooting attempt goes sideways. Mine did. Several times. Download mode got me back to square one to start over and try again.

4) Be careful with LGUP. If you futz around with any of the other settings beside Update, Refurbish, and Partition DL, you could be in for a world of hurt.

Give yourself an afternoon, and have at it!

My carrier is T-Mobile. I got a new sim unlocked ATT LM-V405UA which came with V405UA20o firmware and pie on it, there was no VoLTE and Wifi-Calling was grayed out. I called T-Mobile and they told me that it was enabled on my account, but my phone didn't support it. I think if you are sure ATT supports it then why not crossflash to US Cellular V405UA https://xdaforums.com/lg-v40/development/v40-firmware-links-ainzooalgown-t3940600

Anyways I can't use a phone without root either. I tried to get root, but when I got to the last steps, the instructions said V35 Engineering bootloader is OREO only. So I was stuck in bootloop for a few days.

After a little research I flashed it to US Unlocked 20e 405QA, and was able to get VoLTE, Wifi-calling, and more bands. I am using it now with no issues at all. But I still get that error message at boot telling me "Your device software cannot be checked for corruption .... lock the bootloader blah blah" but the phone boots up afterwards.

Ultimately I just want root, don't really care too much about ROM, I have LOS on my other phone. I just don't want to lose fastboot again but I will give it another shot whenever I have time to do a little more research.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] NGOwner:
You'll always have that error at bootup with an unlocked bootloader. And since your bootloader is unlocked, rooting is the logical next step!

Reply from Xsavi:

Download the backup. Unzip it to find 7 luns (0-6).

1. Open QFIL

2. Select Flat Build

3. Click load xml and select the rawprogram(#) XML that is in the lun(0-6) folder.

4. If it asks you for a patch xml, click cancel. It's not needed to flash this backup.

5. Click download

6. Repeat steps for each lun folder.

You can find the download in the Telegram group...

Hi, I recently bought the lg v40 model 405ua from att. I currently reside in Spain and I know there are new updates. It is unlocked because I use the SIM of my phone provider company. I downloaded a kdz version but it gives me error with lgup. the error says "att us> ucl us". do i have to download another kdz? or is it some other kind of problem? Thank you.

Hi Ainz, I'm trying to flash Oreo to my V40 using 'refurbish'. It says that the kdz is corrupt though? Tried downloading again, got same size and same md5 sum as original download. Maybe the decryption is somehow not working?

[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] Master-Blaster:
Ok, I just did some "Franken-Flashing" of my ATT V30's to unlocked US Cellular roms and they work well and retain VoLTE enabled. I have a couple ATT V40's that have Android 10 and I would like to set them back to 9 or maybe even 8. Once Android hits 10 it sabotages the Mobile Hotspot hacks. The "tether_entitlement_check_state" "0" and "tether_dun_required" "0" doesn't work anymore. On my V30's with Oreo and Pie the hacks still work on Cricket/ATT network. That's why I'd like to go back to 8 or 9 on my V40's but I need to retain VoLTE like on the ATT rom.

Anyone know if the US Cellular V40 rom is a good choice to flash over to for that purpose? Is it Unlocked? Or is the US Unlocked 20A or 20E a better and safer choice?
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] Master-Blaster:
Well, no longer any need to change Roms on my V40's. I found an old simple hack that totally hides my Hot Spot usage from the network. Works on my Android 10 V40's as well an Android 11 Cricket Dream 5G. Now me and the "boss lady" can go back and use our V40's again.

2. Copy *.ozip to sdcard or internal storage.

2. Goto fastboot & enter fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

3. Reboot to recovery, wipe (1st option). Then go back to main menu Install from storage locate the *.ozip file & install.

I followed this guide, everything went smooth, magisk was also installed and rooted. But I tried setting fingerprint and set lock pin, But it says wrong pin everytime, so i had to reset the phone again. I used the same method above. But this time magisk won't install no matter how many times I reset my phone using the above method. So I thought if I could revert back to stock, maybe I can root and install magisk again. So i followed your guide.

After installing the stock zip and reboot to system, it stuck on bootloop(realme logo), then I flash back using the above method again, I can log in to the phone, and red notification says root has been detected, but magisk is not installed, ive tried many things but still i cannot install magisk. I've tried your guide 2/3 bootloop everytime. What could be the problem? I am not very much of a tech genus :'(
[Realme 3 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] 4j17h:
ok no problem, so what do you want to know about? Clear data, cache, dalvik after or before flashing stock zip it won't bootloop. Yes, since device is decrypted lock screen doesn't work. Coming to Magisk, yes that method is not reliable. I have figured out 100% working way which works for everyone & doesn't fail anytime. Maybe I will make a new guide soon or ...Mod edit: Link to Telegram removed
[Realme 3 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ceesiama:

no that's not how magisk works in Realme 3 Pro, if device is restarted there will be no magisk. You need to goto fastboot then goto recovery, it boots to system. We have magisk. Yes this method tricky. I am going to publish new guide, it will be simple & straight forward.

Need Help

Hi, everybody. Really need help.

There is a phone Realme X Lite. Write that it is Realme 3 Pro for the Chinese market, as well as firmware.

My version was: RMX1851_11_A.05

Tried to flash RMX1851EX_11_OTA_0150_all_2Zfcensdoezk.ozip, recovery gave an error, *_0140_* wrote that the current version is newer.

In depth test APK on the version out of the box wrote that this version of the phone is not supported, so the bootloader could not unlock.

But in the official website came across an offer to join the testing of Android Q

r1.realme.net/general/20190522/1558492614147.pdf

There are two files, the second for rollback.

I installed P2Q, everything went well, but the SnapDragon camera is used and it is terrible if there is not enough light. In depth test is not even installed, apparently not supported in the new version.

I decided to roll back, chose in Recovery Q2P archive, there were no errors, but after rebooting the phone hangs on the initial screen saver and after 10 minutes throws in the recovery with the error "Data error, select wipe data to recovery system". Wipe doesn't help. The same with other archives for Realme 3 Pro.

Also found RMX1851_11_A.12_190423_abecd1fa.ofp for firmware via MsmDownloadTool, but it requires authorization and support refuses to call login details.

Can who faced a similar problem on this or other phone.

Please help, pay for the time spent =)
[Realme 3 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] 4j17h:
since your bootloader is locked, all you can do is wipe full data or flash back P2Q then format & then flash Q2P.

Was trying to rollback to RUI1 from RUI2 to install custom recovery as bootloader already unlocked, but ended up in fastboot loop.

Tried every possible method,

- using Realme FlashTool to flash .ofp file

- erasing everything with fastboot and flashing all .img files again

- flashing vbmeta with disable-verity command

but nothing worked. It only reboots into fastboot.

In only one of these instances, in which OFox recovery was flashed via fastboot, the phone doesnt go into fastboot loop rather it displays the msg "boot/recovery destroyed".

Kindly help & thanks in advance. Also, sorry for my bad English.
