T-Mobile user here (via US Mobile MVNO) on a Sprint V405UA rooted + bootloader unlocked + crossflashed to V405QA7 Firmware. What software version are you on? I'm on V405QA7 20e from the lg-firmwares site. So far, that hidden menu does not open at all: 277634#*# only this one *#546368#*405# (LTE Band selection menu is available here). Searching using shortcut master lite leads me to find only Sprint and Verizon menus, where other times (on a V30 & V35) I find Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T menus. I have no VoLTE or VoWiFi, and I'm still testing LTE Band 71 connectivity.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] droidful sanctuary:
My LGV40 was an ATT model V405UA. When I crossflashed the unlocked V405QA720e Android 9 software, my phone now says that the software version is V405UA20e.

I don't have WiFi calling anymore. Apparently that was an AT&T thing. I do have VOLTE though. I checked this with a LTE-only Verizon U.S. Mobile sim card, and it works.

I was able to confirm my connection to Band 71 on Tmobile by using the Play store app "Network Cell Info Lite".
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] shawnmos:
I got an ATT V40 off ebay cheap. Are these phones all the same hardware wise or are there hardware differences between the different carrier versions? Can I crossflash it to the verizon firmware and actually use VoLTE and the other Verizon features? Will Verizon prevent the phone from even activating? Thanks
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] droidful sanctuary:
Why would you want Verizon firmware? You can use Verizon sim with the unlocked QA7 firmware and still get VoLTE. It does seem to be same hardware though. Let us know how it works.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] abuchison:
About VoLTE and VoWiFi, LG hard coded the capabilities by wireless providers. From what I saw in /OEM/OP/OPEN_US/CONFIG/vo_config.xml, T-Mobile gets the best support with both VoLTE and VoWiFi enabled while others like AT&T and Verizon have VoLTE enabled but VoWiFi disabled.

I had it the worst since I am on Cricket wireless. Both VoLTE and VoWiFi were disabled. My solution was to root and disable dm-verity. Once I added the entries to vo-config.xml, both VoLTE and VoWiFi are on now.

Now if I can only figure out why VoWiFi indicator doesn't pop up. I know VoWiFi is working because I could make calls in airplane mode.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] shawnmos:
That's good to know. How about Wifi Calling? Also, Verizon is updating to Android 10 OTA. It doesn't seem like the unlocked firmware is getting much attention from LG.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] anush.isaac:
Hi I just got the Sprint unlocked V40 and followed the instructions and now I am on the "QA7 android 9 software" but my phone's SW version still shows V405UA20a but I know the flashing works perfectly as when I put my Verizon SIM before flashing I could not get VoLTE calls to work and the phone always dropped down to CDMA, but now VoLTE works seamlessly.

Thank you all for the great instructions.

My only question is can I update this phone to the Verizon KDZ as like someone told Verizon V40 already has Android 10.

Will the unlocked Version get Android 10 anytime soon?

Thanks
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
I have the AT&T version V40 and have crossflashed to the US Open Kdz. Like everyone else, yes, the software stays as UA, doesn't change to what's flashed. In my case, easy to tell the flash worked, there's no AT&T bloat.

I too followed the link in post #72, 'using the hidden service menu', to search for band 71. It might be worth mentioning for others with a similar situation. I did try 'Network Cell Info Lite', but never saw band 71, even drove around a bit near where I live, but never saw it. I was surprised though how many towers there are quite near ea other, impressive.

But in the link mentioned in that post, I went into Svc Menu and enabled **only** band 71. Then used the Network app to verify the signal I was getting was truly band 71. Sure enough, it's there, but not near enough to show up on the list without first turning all the other stronger signals off first (only selecting 71 from the list).

When I checked coverage in t-mobile website, it did indicate 71 available, but the odd thing is the other available signals indicated they could be available inside commercial buildings, but not 71? Which is odd as the 600 is suppose to penetrate buildings the best of them all. That should have been a tip off that while the signal is available, it's not strong. For awhile I was thinking I didn't have 71, even though the kdz model US Open should.

Even tested my V35 to see if it would work. Was able to select just 71, and there was a data connection signal. But the Network analyzer app showed that the phone had made a 3G connection, unlike the V40 which definitely showed lte 71 connection.

So really just FYI to people struggling with this, you may have to enable 71 only to find the (supposed!) signal in your area.

cheers

Can someone explain if it is worth to go from the US unlocked Android Pie version to the Tmobile Android 10 version on an original Sprint Unlocked LG V40?

I am not sure if we will ever get the Android 10 version for the US unlocked version so is it a good idea to flash the Tmobile Android 10 KDZ?

What am I losing or what should I be wary about if I do flash to the Tmobile KDZ (assuming the flash itself is possible)?

This forum has been a lifesaver as I accidentally got the Sprint Unlocked version because it was cheap but was terrible till I flashed it to the US unlocked Android Pie.

Please let me know? Thanks in advance.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
No, it's not possible. Read more of the threads, one person bricked their t-mo device by flashing another (think it was Sprint) kdz to it. Also, ea one of the 'guides' re flashing etc will tell you, 'Works for all variants, **except** T-Mo!'.

T-mo is the exception, you cannot flash to it, and they don't make the kdz available. It seems the saying should be 'Once T-Mo, always T-Mo... or a brick'.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] anush.isaac:
Hi Again,

Let me clarify, I currently have a Sprint LG v40 with the US Unlocked KDZ flashed.

SO for this Sprint LG v40 can I flash the TMobile LG v40 Android 10 KDZ?

Below link is where i see the TMUS official Android 10Q KDZ.

Looking forward to hear from you.

Thanks

https://lg-firmwares.com/downloads-file/22668/V405TA30b_00_TMO_US_OP_0423
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
Hmmm, yes I realized you had a sprint flashed to us unlocked, but I didn't realize the t-mo kdz was available! So it does look like it is from that link. I thought they were one of the carriers that didn't allow their kdz to the public.

Would it work? I've never done that, not sure. But, I'd point out again, if yer phone is original T-mo, it's the one that you **can-not** flash other kdz to. So if it did work, you couldn't go back, which makes me think it probably wouldn't work to flash t-mo to a sprint?

I have to ask, why do u want to flash a t-mo kdz? for band 71? for wi-fi and or volte calling? Those things are available on the us op kdz...

So re-reading your original comment, if yer thinking about this just to get A10, absolutely don't try t-mo for that reason. 10 will be available soon for US OP version. I'd highly recommend waiting for it.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] anush.isaac:
Thank you so much. I can wait if the US unlocked version is bound to get Android 10 at some point. Yes, the only reason I want to flash the TMUS kdz is for Android 10.

The current US unlocked kdz seems to work just fine on Verizon for VoLTE (not sure about WiFi calling).

Once again thanks a ton for taking the time to explain in detail. I will take your inputs and wait. I don't want a paperweight just becos I want Android 10.

Cheers
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] R800x_user:
I wouldn't do that, just from previous models(v30) TMO variants have different RSA signatures. so flashing tmobile software to a non tmobile phone will still result in a brick.

Just a warning before you come back from trying it out.

I do feel your urge to have stable Android 10. It's just the custom ROMs don't reside here besides LOS 17.1 and havoc os 3.5 for this device. Mostly in the telegram group. I've been using havoc os with no gapps but waiting for US unlocked to get Android 10.

Att lg v40 thinq version software 405UA20g

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.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] HawtSauce:
Hey guys, can i cross flash my unlocked sprint variant to the korean rom with Android 10 without any problems ?
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] facesofdeath:
Had sprint locked V40. Flashed to US unlocked pie mobile. Network still grayed out.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] poog:
I thought this only give you a debloated experience...and does not network unlock.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
Yeah it doesn't network unlock apparently it did a few device generations ago...but LG patched that
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] K4laz:
I have a question bro, I have the sprint model running android 10, is possible flashing to the unlocked US android pie or 10?
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
10 would be where you should go idk if they added anything to the update to make downgrading happen especially now that T-Mobile owns Sprint

Can in flash the V405QA Version on a V405UA ?
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gurkenbeat:
Well i flashed the qa versio, but it still says im on v405ua and i cant use the ota updates neither. How do i fix that ?

OK, so another update :D

I flashed the EBW Version with Android 10, everything seems to work fine except for an error message that appears after booting, something like "warning current version is not available for user, ffffff etc.". How do i get rid of this error message ?

And is it possible to have the phone show the version of the firmware i flashed ? (since mine still shows that its the V405UA version, but i flashed the ebw version)
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] kacak11:
Yes, with no problems, for me.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gurkenbeat:
Nice, yeah it worked for me. Did your phone still say that is was the V405UA version in the settings ? And did you get a Android 10 Version for the QA ?
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] kacak11:
Yes, V405UA but with crossflashing you can not make an official update.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gurkenbeat:
Alright. thanks. Wasnt able to update anyways...

Do you have an Android 10 Version ? If so is it an UA oder QA Version ? I cant seem to find a Version 10 for the UA or QA Model, so i uused the ebw Version which gives a Warning Message after the Startup.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] kacak11:
No, im sorry.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gurkenbeat:
Ok, thanks. Is there another way to get Android 10 other than flashing the EBW Version which is available as Q-Version, with the V405UA Version while not using the original Carrier Sim ?
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] samuel6827:
You can use the N korean version, but would lose dual sim capability.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gurkenbeat:
ok, so is the korean version 10 better suited for the V405UA than the European Version 10 ?

If you use the Verizon pie kdz you will be able to get the OTA update to 10 and all the new updates ...
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gurkenbeat:
No matter which sim card is used ?

and is this true for any version of the V405ua ?

regards
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] clutterking:
I can confirm, you will receive the android 10 update if you flash verizon pie on a sprint lg v40. I went from sprint > unlocked version > verizon. After about 7 updates, I got android 10.

Unfortunately for me, my phone is Sprint locked and I am using Tello, an MNVO on Sprint. On pie I had LTE, on the verizon version (9 or 10), my APNs are locked and I am only able to access at 3G.

Does anyone have any idea how to unlock APNs on this phone? If I can't find a way, I will need to go back to Pie, unfortunately.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gurkenbeat:
ah ok, so you basically are still using a sprint sim card.

woudlnt it have been the same result if you would have just kept the original springt firmware?

another question, i flashed the ebw android 10 version, can i flash the sprint pie version again ?

Well im in germany... so no sprint for me
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] oscarillo:
Yea it doesn't matter what sim card you use, I bought a LG v40 sprint unlocked I also went from Sprint to USA Unlocked to Verizon, I never had a sprint sim card nor Verizon adn I was able to get all the updates from Verizon (I am using this phone in Mexico).
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gurkenbeat:
alrighty, which firmware version did you load exactly ?

and does the downgrade from an adnroid 10 version work ?
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] oscarillo:
I downloaded the latest public Verizon kdz, it's android 9 but after you install you will get the update to 10 (I already had an update from August 2020).

I dont know about downgrading to 9 after the update to 10, never done it.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gurkenbeat:
ok, thanks. Where did you find the Verizon kdz ? since on lg-firemwares they only have some kinda updates i think (the kdz's with the vrz prefix are all around only 200mb)

well maybe someone else can enlighten the situation :D if its possible to flash from a android 10 ebw version to a pie version.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] oscarillo:
https://xdaforums.com/lg-v40/how-to/kdz-lmv40520a-verizon-t3937878

But I think its already been removed.

If you are in europe I think you can also use the UK android 10 kdz and it will work fine

I dont know if you can go from 10 to 9 again.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] clutterking:
Gerkenbeat, if you're on 10 already, why would you want to go through Verizon 9 > 10?
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gurkenbeat:
because i would like to recieve ota updated, that seems to not work right now with the german ebw version.

Do you know if i would recieve ota updated then with the uk version ?
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] oscarillo:
I really dont know, there is only one way for you to find out :D:D
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gurkenbeat:
:D yeah i guess ill wait until there is a new version of the ebw firmware, than ill go for the uk version. Right now i wouldnt realy benefit from the switch to the uk version (maybe i would not get the warning after the boot, but that i can live with).

Well and maybe someone else has tried the uk version on the v405ua and can tell if you would recieve ota updates.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gurkenbeat:
Well i have another question, on lg-firmwares there are those Verizon kdz files for the V405UA which are about 300MB to 70 MB in comparsion to other files which are around 4gb, what exactly are those small kdz files for ? And how do i use those correctly ?

Hi guys i need help! i have an unlocked sprint a crossflash was made on open ucl the dump was not done beforehand, maybe someone has a dump sprint of the firmware? or does someone have the opportunity to make such a dump either through qfil or lgup? very much need! thanks!

Did I do something wrong?
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] PxYra:
Use LGUP, you will need patched DLL (LGUP_Common.dll) file for LGUP to do crosflash, without this DLL you will get error
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] elricwinkler:
I couldn't do it via GUI for some reason but I was able to do it via command line, I succesfully flashed a US open rom and it's working well so far. Bit of a headache to get everything working but so far so good
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] wogeboy:
Wonder if we can crossflash to the European v40 android 10 version (has band 71 etc.. for t-mobile)

I see they also have a new 1.16 patched LGup avail... will have to do some reading

Mine is the Sprint v40 version
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
not sure where you're seeing that 'European v40 android 10 version has band 71', but I'd caution that some of the websites that list available band information for various roms can be wrong.

I remember seeing one rom indicated that it had every band available to all of the LG v40 phones. That's simply not true, and what it shows is that when that information was filled out, the person didn't know what bands were actually a part of that rom, so they just entered all possible bands.

As far as band 71 goes; it's only used by t-mobile, so why would some other rom for another country have it? That said, I do know that, and have tested, the korean open rom to have band 71. I have no idea why, but it did have it.

If you want band 71, use the US Open rom, that will 100% with certainty have it.

cheers

I've searched but came up blank. Does anyone have an optimal setting to rip video for playback on the Advantage? I've tried a few settings and some didn't work at all, some playback with a stutter. I thought I'd see if anyone here has discovered a best setting.

I'm trying to play them back on pocket player or tcmp.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] galt:
I'm using CorePlayer (it appears that it's actually using the ATI Imageon for hardware video acceleration) and am getting great results (smooth playback, almost no frames dropped) with H.264 at 25 or 29 FPS with 320x240 resolution, but TCPMP seems to play the files well too.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] rhedgehog:
as most people here, i use Core player or TCPMP, depeniding on the ROM i'm using at the time.

But most common one i use is coreplayer 1.21.

DivX or Xvid encoding at between 600 & 750 kbps for the video, 128kbps aac or MP3 for the sound.

-0.200 delay on the audio in coreplayer/TCPMP and they are as smooth as butter.

Pisses the ipod touch owners at work off something rotten when they see the video on my athena!!

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] jetherson:
hey cktlcmd,

using mono audio would really lose the 3d effect on movies, which imho is what most people want/expect nowadays. this is really a big plus on action movies.

anyway, just a thought.

ciao!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Kenjari:
Hopefully just to add to this thread's question. At this point which one is preferred....Coreplayer (newer version) or TCPMP .7 or .8?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eaglesteve:
For me, anytime it is coreplayer now. It lets you search and play youtube in very high quality without lag. Not to mention that it is also visually a lot more appealing.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Kenjari:
Thanks for the reply eaglesteve. So why are there so many die hard TCPMP fans (I myself up until now)? Are there any advantages "at this point" that TCPMP have over its successor Core?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eaglesteve:
May be because one is free and the other is not.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Kenjari:
Makes since. I guess when I became a fan, it was when Core was just released. Folks over at the Aximsite.com at the time explained that there were advantages that TCPMP had because it was still beta, "free", was able to add plugins, things that I was told Core didnt have on its first lauch.

I guess I never kept up with the improvement over the time.

BTW....thanks for your input. Last night I purchased Core....I'm excited to use later today. Would it be wise to get the Core Pro for desktop? I have been using the DVD Decrypt and AutoGK for my video conversions.
