You probably messed and deleted some partitions, everyone here with bricked V60s did not follow the process and steps. It should be fixed when you flashed the originals back unless you have deleted those partitions.

I bricked my v60 when i flashed a GSI and now LGup wont flash oem kdz anymore, so for now im only running one GSI but only one have several i tried do not boot

Friends, tell me please, on which version of the European firmware did you do all this? I have the latest firmware 20k and I can't get my phone to be seen by the PDS utility
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] jdlfjk:
I'm on 20k too.

To be seen by the PDC, you need to enable that in the hidden menu, did you do that? If you can't enter hidden menu, you can either install the hidden menu apk or fix the nt code error. Once you are in the hidden menu, read this to learn how to enable that: https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-no-ro...ther-qualcomm-powered-lg-devices-too.4343655/

I successfully rooted thanks to this guide. Is there a firmware repository for the V60? I have the V600VM and would like to remove all traces of Verizon from the device with some stock Android firmware for starters (the latest most stable release would be adequate).
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] vinnie97:
Is this one safe to install on the Verizon-branded model? Are there any precautions I need to take first? Is there a specific guide for doing so (or is Magisk the goto method)?
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] jdlfjk:
The guide is in the second post in the thread under the crossflash spoiler.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] vinnie97:
Thx, missed that. If you accidentally allow Android to boot after erasure of the partitions, what are the implications (I presume getting back into the necessary mode would be a challenge at this point)? I guess an international software revision (V600EA20k_00_1112.kdz?) is probably the best all around to install unless there is a better recommendation.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] jdlfjk:
Deleting those partitions is for bypassing the variant check in in LGUP, I read somewhere that if you let it boot after that then the phone wouldn't let you crossflash and you would need to do it again. In terms of which FW is the best I'm not sure because I only have used the android 10 (at&t 10w) and the EA 20k, I like the 20k for it being update-to-date and there is no unknown issue.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] vinnie97:
Appreciated, one (or two) last questions: I see at LG Fan Club, there is one for Italy and one for Poland using the same name. Which did you use (and is this where you found it?)?
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] TheSpeech:
I have crossflashed from ATT to EA and aside from the NT error which I don't really care about since it only appears on startup, mostly everything is working fine. Except that the AOD display on the dual screen case is not functioning. Is this a dual screen firmware issue? Or something else?
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] chacedj:
I got my phone working. I don't know exactly what happened but I could boot into 9008 mode only. No matter what I try to do, the phone would not boot normally. I did the process again, but I flashed the .bin file we were supposed to download, instead of the .img file. Maybe I misread something and you're supposed to do that to begin with. Either way it booted and I don't even dare to try again. Hope this helps SOMEBODY.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] chacedj:
Has anybody ever encountered this? And is it going to affect my phone?
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] TheSpeech:
Update on this:

I have flashed the Taiwan version V600EA10e_00_0930.kdz over the version I had after crossflashing from ATT,

Poland V600EA20k_00_1112.kdz. For some reason, I did not get the NT error, and my AOD display is back. Fingerprint also works out of the box. I also don't have to install the hidden menu APK - it is present here and I can check my Cover Display FW Version which I couldn't before with the other EA ROM (It is LMV600N-V01m_00) and upgrade it. I can also see 5G NR Band selection which wasn't on the other ROM. APN is also accessible. I had a bit of a scare when tinkering with the hidden menu LTE bands trying to see if anything influenced HSDPA in any way and it gave me no 4G for a bit but it's fine now.

Maybe there's a catch somewhere but right now I'm not seeing it.

Edit: As expected, GPay does not work (likely because of the unlocked bootloader). Not a surprise but it would have been nice.

What's the best place to get firmwares? I had a timeout on lg-firmwares.Com while trying to grab EA20k (Poland). I managed to find it elsewhere, but the filename is suspect (and attained with a KDZ Downloader in Spanish). Can anyone confirm the file size as 6,134,527,440 bytes?
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] jdlfjk:
I don't know what's the difference I only downloaded and tested the 20k FW under Poland region from one of the lg fw site.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] vinnie97:
Late to the party again. Regarding that NT-code error with 20k Polish firmware (and perhaps others since this seems like a regional check), is there no easy way to disable the check on startup? It's not a big deal, as stated above, but I wouldn't mind getting rid of it.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] vinnie97:
Oh, I did find this. Looks like it requires reflashing so I think it can be tolerated here as well, lol.

Also this:
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Karol75:
This is what I done to get rid of the NT-CODE error + having mobile data after editing ftm .

In QFIL find ftm.bin, manage partition data / read data. find the folder where the backup partition was saved .

In HxD editor open the backed up ftm partition .

Find offset 00014000 right click ,pastewrite your NT-code I did "1","FFF,FFF,FFFFFFFF,FFFFFFFF,11" (for Europe)

Flash edited ftm back with qfil,reboot ,

Extract from your kdz (or from your FW with QFIL ) modem_a .

With 7zip, navigate to (modem_a\image\modem_pr\mcfg\configs\mcfg_sw\generic\Korea\ROW\Commercial\) extract mcfg_sw.mbn

Enter Hidden menu / SVC/ choose Field Test, then LTE Data Test, and change the Tethering Mode from Android to QMICM.

Usb debugging must be off!

Open PDC tool in QPST,

Load the extracted mcfg_sw.mbn

after that right click on ROW_commercial, setselectedconfig-sub0, it will have status "pending"

press activate,

reboot or reset Network Settings , mobile data should work now after every reboot or factory reset .

(thanks jdlfjk xda)

P.S.- DO NOT DELETE any of the existent profiles in the menu,done that and IMEI was gone!

I was trying to identify what i was doing wrong when "Making /system RW (Credits to Leronex_1)"

Step 5 was yielding error code 73 and I wasn't sure what was wrong

Turns out that the error is expected and that's what step 6 was for, this wasn't clear to me, can you please update the step so others know?
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] MrHomebrew:
I was able to make system RW using twrp method of wiping data, reboot to fastboot, flash modded vendor.img I found online and then allow reboot to system. Go back to twrp and system is no longer encrypted.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] deegore:
I can't get the phone into fastboot mode after i load the engineering bootloader. Should I start over at step 1? I tried plugging in the USB while holding volume down, but just see the boot screen followed by the battery charging screen going from 0 to 100 in a few seconds.

Edit: got it to work finally after about 10 tries. Engineering bootloader wasn't loading for some reason.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] kingilein:
Can you please post a link for the modded vendor.img?
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] deegore:
I would like to try that file too. I don't currently have access to a Linux machine.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] vinnie97:
So, new problem after previously performing all the steps on page 1 and successfully cross-flashing this Verizon unit to V600EA20k_00_1112.kdz. Basically, I just realized earlier today after trying some root-requiring apps/root checkers: They are reporting it's not actually rooted! Even though the bootup screen confirms inability to lock the bootloader (implying root access), Root Checker (from the Play store) claims it's not properly installed (and Battery Charge Limit app claims similar). Has anyone seen this or have a clue how to overcome (I.E. is there a change I need to make in one of the partitions, do I need to re-root the phone after installing the above stock firmware, etc.?)?
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Karol75:
You probably have bootloader unlocked but lost root when you cross flashed. You need to patch boot_a with magisk and flash that in fastboot.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] vinnie97:
Nailed it. I didn't realize flashing stock firmware also reset the root status. I had to go back into device manager to manually install the Android bootable driver again since fastboot wasn't seeing the device (I only crossflashed less than 3 weeks ago) and don't recall manually uninstalling this driver. There's also an instruction that doesn't seem to apply in the Magisk boot instructions (emphasis mine), specifically #11:

Boot_b hadn't been mentioned up to this point in said instructions (nor had that particular renamed image file). Is this evidence of dual booting capability (and perhaps copied over from some other tutorial)?

Finally, do we expect anymore firmware updates for this device or is it likely EOL since we're coming up on 2 years?
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Kratos574:
I have done everything as the guide but after flashing the abl on both slots it just dont go to fastboot it goes to download mode
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Karol75:
Yes, I should have mention that - boot_a and boot_b are the same thing, android uses what is called "Seamless updates" ,when upgrading OTA .

('seamless updates', allows for firmware updates to be installed to a secondary partition while the phone remains in use. this eliminates downtime between firmware updates to a single reboot, after which the secondary partition becomes the main one and the update has already completed. this also acts as a failsafe in case an update goes wrong – the system can fall back on the previouous partition.)

I do believe V60 will most likely see A12 update soon.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Karol75:
Have you pressed volume - while connecting to the PC?
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Kratos574:
I did and it didnt go to Fastboot, I could go to fastboot by using Adb reboot bootloader but now the issue is that the Vol - button is pressing by itself on Fastboot, the device has no issues with this key it just happens on fastboot and it doesnt let me approve the bootloader unlock message
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Karol75:
sounds like an issue indeed,never heard of it, nor experienced this.

Start the test by clicking "start", then hold the green circle with your finger till the test finishes. On the last test it will fail so just click on "fail".

Repeat 3 times and try adding a fingerprint, if fingerprint still does not work just restart and retry again.

You need to install hidden menu APK if you cross flashed .

[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Vesperian:
First off, thanks for the guide. I love this phone, and now that I have it successfully rooted, I love it even more. I got it as a refurb, and in the time that I was sorting it out and getting it ready to root it had already downloaded a system update. I turned off notifications for those (unless I missed an option), but I still get a reminder every few days to install it. In searching for a solution, I read that clearing cache after you prevent the phone from automatically download updates could do the trick. Alternatively, if the update doesn't brick my phone, I'd be willing to let it run it's course. I figured this would be a good place to go for advice.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] SZ0TYI:
Hi MaxxLong, do you have backup of the Docomo version software? Could you keep your IMEI and able to use SIM?
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] suxlv22:
Hi Karol75,

Does it also means, that your bootloader is locked? For cross flash you probably unlocked it, and then made it locked again. How exactly did you do that?

My banking application doesn't accept the biometric authentication with unlocked bootloader. I don't use root features, don't need them at all.

I have V600TM cross flashed to EA20m (the most recent kdz). I have a fmt fix for NT code, APN stays through factory reset, fingerprint is working just fine. Everything is fine.. except the bootloader is not locked.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Karol75:
You don't need to unlock bootloader, I didn't unlocked either.

In qfil, delete FTM, Modem_A, Modem_B, SID_A, SID_B, OP_A, OP_B,

flash every partition except: SID_A SID_B in LG up ,using Partition DL.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] suxlv22:
Right, I have them flashed exactly as in your list.

But for some stupid reason.. I did unlock the bootloader. :( Is there a way to lock it back? Will I be able to lock it back if stock (TM) kdz is flashed? Of course, then I'll cross-flash without unlocking the bootloader.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Karol75:
Yes, you can enter fastboot and with adb command "fastboot OEM lock "

You need engineering bootloader flashed though in qfil as per this tutorial,if you don't already have it or lost it when you Cross flashed
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] suxlv22:
I can't believe it. :) Successfully cross flashed from US T-Mobile to EA (V600EA20m_00_0113.kdz) with bootloader locked. :) Perfect score! =) So much happiness and appreciation.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] suxlv22:
Frankly, SafetyNet test of CTC profile match is failing for me. GPay is not working. Flashed stock rom. On top of it cross flashed the EA kdz. Any advice is appreciated.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Karol75:
Are you still rooted then? If you locked the bootloader and cross flashed after, your device should be certified and Gpay should work
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] suxlv22:
Nope. No root at all. To flash the stock rom, I used LGUP Refurbish. I presume this one removes every trace of root from the device. At this point SafetyNet test tool and Play Store shows success ("Device is certified"). Then I removed the following areas with QFIL: ftm, modem_a, modem_b, OP_a, OP_b, sid_a, sid_b; followed by flash of EA kdz (using Partition DL): everything except sid_a, sid_b. After boot "Certification" of device is no longer exists. SafetyNet and Play Store reports "Not certified".

Demo Unit Success and Workaround

What I got modded with root

-Removed auto setting change

-Removed retail mode logins

No battery yet

In terms of bootloader unlocking the instruction is great.

I would simplify the rooting process by downloading the boot.img on the first try with the partition manager. (I get errors in partition manager after the bootloader unlock)

Workaround

-Get OTG USB mouse and keyboard(no touchscreen in twrp)

- Download twrp

- Insert Microsd card

- Go into terminal/cmd with fastboot. -- type --

-- adb reboot bootloader

-- fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

-- fastboot flash recovery_a twrp.img

-- fastboot flash recovery_b twrp.img

- Go into twrp

-- adb reboot recovery

- twrp > advanced > terminal (mouse &keyboard)

-- dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot of=/external_sd/boot.img

- reboot

- magisk patch (external sd card)

- pull patched boot from internal sd card downloads folder or the location specified by magisk into fastboot folder (android --> computer)

- rename file magisk_patcheddesudesudesu.img to magisk.img

-- adb reboot bootloader

-- fastboot flash boot_a magisk.img

-- fastboot flash boot_b magisk.img

-- fastboot reboot
