[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] MrBigLeomandingo:
Greetings,

First let me clearly state my gratitude to you for dedicating your time and effort to providing what seems to be the ONLY available such guide for the LG V60 (there are dozens of such guides available to the LG V20). Your efforts for creating and sharing this forum is GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! THANK YOU!

Now, I have a number of issues that are preventing me from completing the task of both unlocking the bootloader and crossflashing from V600VM to US Cellular Unlocked V600TM20g.

First issue; Partition Manager remains greyed out and therefore inaccessible under the "Tools" drop-down menu via the QFIL tool.

Second issue; The dreaded issue with "android_winub" as in receiving the Android ADB Interface "This device cannot start. (Code 10) error message.

Pertaining to the aforementioned issues, I've performed a fair amount of basic troubleshooting steps. Restarted laptop, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, changed USB cables, went into the registry, and confirmed that the lower filter and upper filter were not present. None of these troubleshooting methods resolved the issue and therefore "Partition Manager" remains greyed out and inaccessible in QFIL. The only good part is that "Quectel QDLoader 9008 (COM3) is showing up under ports after I changed the USB cable. If someone has figured this out, please share the solution.

Third issue; some of your instructions are difficult to follow. For instance, "Do fastboot flash frp frp.img". What do you mean by "Do"? How and what am I supposed to do with "Do"? Do what exactly? How do I execute "fastboot flash frp frp.img"? I don't know how to execute this command without your specific instruction. Most of your steps begin with "Do" and I don't clearly know what that means. Please elaborate more in your instructions that simply state "Do". Thank you.

My phone system details:

Android Version 11

Software version V600VM20f

Model Number LM-V600VM Verizon (I really hate Verizon's default preinstalled bloatwares, which is why I want to crossflash to US Cellular Unlocked.).

FYI; This phone is an upgrade from my LG V20 V995 crossflashed to US996. For the LG V20, I followed these links to achieve unlocking the bootloader, crossflashing the firmware versions, installing TWRP, and rooting with Magisk are as followed:

https://xdaforums.com/t/lgv20-vs995-verizon-only-aio-post-3-25-2019.3624326/

https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-unbri...res-unbrick-v20-variant-mismatch-fix.3652222/

Following these aforementioned guides allowed me to easily figure out how to properly unlocked and crossflash my LG V20. Now I'm looking to do the same with my LG V60 but again, I'm struggling to follow your instructions as it's currently written. Please further advise accordingly. Thank you!
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] vinnie97:
"Do" simply refers to entering the text that follows into the cmd line interface.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] MrBigLeomandingo:
Ok, so I think I figured out the Partition Manager part but can't go any further due to an error. Please refer to the attached screenshot for reference and if possible advice what to do in regards. Thank.

Help!, I accidentally blanked build.prop from my phone when trying adding WiFi Calling, can anyone send me their copy, its a Verizon unit.

Edit: Even after following the "Making /system RW (Credits to Leronex_1)" looks like my system partition is still Read Only, that's the reason why after saving my edited build.prop the file appears blank with a filesize of 0 Kb. Is there a way to fix it?

Not looking to reboot my V60. :cry:..

Hi, I've the T-Mobile version and I want to cross flash it with EA or Canadian version but I've basic knowledge of using software tools. There is any video or simple steps how to cross flash the T-Mobile firmware?
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] MrBigLeomandingo:
Is there not anyone who can offer further assistance with error message presented in the aforementioned inquiry?

Hi, I'm a bit confused with the steps and software I should use to cross flash my LG V60 t-mobile to Canadian version or EU version. Could someone mention the steps how to do it? Thanks
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Bug725:
Drivers is my first bet! 2nd is do u have the correct firehose? some1 handing out one that ends in ddr which is WRONG! (wasnt fun figuring that out) I linked a correct lge firehose for the lg v60 (lgv600xx). There is 2 driver pack that wont work and one will properly work w/o manual updating. So rip all drivers out if they were installed LG & QC then re-install. Suspect Win11 issue in my case.

No "Bangs" in driver manager, verify file/firehose, reboot phone back into EDL mode. Sometimes an operation or windows can shat itself. If it was working b4 just reboot phone back to edl. Sux b/c cant use adb or anything except button dance. Hope it helps!
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] dangtoi1993:
hello, can i ask for what advantages of EA version?

why people want to crossflash to it?

thank !
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] BESS667:
People who are using the AT&T variant from abroad cannot update without having an AT&T sim card and also physically being in the US, I remember reading the EA version was fully compatible to cross flash and had the least bloatware.

I now manage to make the fingerprint work by making the OCR test in the service menu with a piece of tissue (toilet paper), somehow the test passed and can now unlock my device with my fingerprint.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] 3RR3R:
Hello, does making system RW work on android 12? i was looking at the linked page and the creater states it doesnt work on andorid 12. I tried anyway and now I have no access to internal storage only external sd card.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] dangtoi1993:
yeah i destroyed my at&t before, tried crossflash and accident erase imei :D

then i swap to tmobile board, have OTA and disable all bloatware then i think no reason to cross anymore (if nothing better).

Because i realized, after system change (in my old board), i can fix fingerprint, it work again but It's not as accurate as it used to be, sometime it can not read finger to unlock then i have to go svc menu to "improve" it again.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] BESS667:
I managed to fix my IMEI and S/N by having a copy of the original FTM file, and modifying the FTM file after the update with a HEX editor to put your original IMEI and S/N.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] dangtoi1993:
sound good, please make a guide for that, i have my original FTM (flash it back can fix my S/N, but no way to fix imei back).

i know alot people lost their imei and can not fix yet.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] KouaV1:
so with the system RW method, I have done it but somehow the sysrw_repair would throw an error and say file directory does not exit or should I say step 6,7,8 does not work as I get an error.

I am able to see that I have rw? i did do lg rct disable(verified through lg hidden menu) and it said I only need system rw and it worked so does that mean I have system rw? if so then what is the whole purpose of sysrw_repair?

Edit: so looks like you don't need system RW to disable LG RCT, I get thrown error 73 and no workaround but the script itself disables dm-verity and verification on the phone allowing me access to delete mnt/product/persist-lg/rct

edit#2: Looks like when running the script it when it fails it grants you temporary access to the mount/product folder until reboot and then have to run the script again.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] the_R00ter:
Can I crossflash the T-Mobile v60 to att software?
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] the_R00ter:
Also how would someone revert their rooted and and unlocked v60 back to stock? Just open lgup and select refurbish?
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] dangtoi1993:
LGUP can not relock bootloader.

so, first do some steps go to bootloader then type command to relock it (fastboot oem lock), then KDZ for clean.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] KouaV1:
If you just want to remove root then you just need to reflash back your original(current software version) boot_a and boot_b and your set as it will just unroot it. for relocking boot loader you can do the unroot method + the fastboot oem lock but that will require you to hard factory reset the divice wiping all your data.

Hello, I have US Cellular v60. I'm using it with Mint (t-mobile) but Wi-fi calling and volte are nowhere to be found. Can somebody what I could do so get them unlocked? Will root + install another rom work? Thank you
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Dewsy:
Hello everyone!

So... back in the day i cross-flashed my At&T V60 to TMO on Android 11. Worked just fine.

Now i tried to do the same, but with the Android 12 .kdz. I made a mistake and in the LGUP tool i clicked select all then deselected the 4 partitions not for rewrite. I hit the ok, then realiyed the next step was to NOT hit select all.

N

ow the phone does not load up, not even to download mode. Ican make QFIL recogize it, but i'm stuck on this point. I made the recommended backups in QFIL before the first try, but the naming of the backup files doesn't tell me witch partitons are baced up in wich .bin. What can i do at this point? Thank you for the reply!
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] dangtoi1993:
follow the V60am restore thread
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] KouaV1:
You may have to cross flash to t-mobile, a carrier branded phone will mostly only work with wifi calling of the same carrier or network. If it is a manufacturer unlocked like the europe then it will depend on the coding that is in the phone whether it can activate it or not.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Dewsy:
Thank you very much, and also, saorry for not seearching through the threads more before asking. Seems like it works! I'm now stuck on bootloop, but thats a definite step forwarf! I was able to get into download mode, so i hope i'm set up to success now!
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] dangtoi1993:
if your unit exactly Att then this will work flawless, bootloop because you comeback from other version (you can solve bootloop by hard factory reset with button).

btw, bring download mode back and flash KDZ is bestest way to full recovery partitions of the phone.

but there is no kdz of Att version rightnow.

so only 1way to clean back to Att stock is follow that method with Qfil.

* NOTE: Be careful for keep your imei and modem partitions.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] kingilein:
Unfortunately no, but I´ve saves the partition File List...

For over 1 minute....

The first time directly after step 8, i´ve heard al litte beep, but that was all...

Many thanks for your offer!!!

Coincidentally, an Octoplus Pro is currently on the way from Hong Kong to me (Germany). So I should actually have the same options. But I would like to come back to your offer, if I really get stuck. By the way, as long as the cell phone is in bricked EDL mode, I think you will not be able to reach it with a programming box in USB mode?!?
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] MrLeronex:
Die octoplus Box ist glaube ich nicht für edl und so soweit ich weiß

I hope I did understand you right and you live in Germany.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] kingilein:
I hope I didn't get it wrong ... The Octoplus Pro Box should initially only be operated in USB mode. In EDL mode I only tried to flash the Abl Eng.bin. Something seems to have gone wrong, otherwise a restart in Fastboot or the system would have been possible after the flash. Yes, I live in Germany and my official language is of course German. The one written here all went through the Google translator ...
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] DailytheNoob:
No problemo, only took us like 5 times to back that up (yay user error and accidentally unplugging it 3 times....)
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Kendrenogen:
You have to modify the FRP partition, then flash it through fastboot
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] crimsonrommer:
Yeah we don't know if that works when locked and we couldn't get anyone to try it yet
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Kendrenogen:
The G8 FRP worked on the Verizon V40, so the same FRP should work on the V60, and flashing works when locked with the engineering abl
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] crimsonrommer:
So if you flash the engineer abl then reboot to fastboot, then flash frp while locked, would that work?

Would you need a restart?
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Kendrenogen:
Yes to both
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] crimsonrommer:
Alright, I'll make a guide in reserved post 1 either later today or tomorrow

I was able to unlock bootloader and install magisk on demo verizon unit
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] xdasree:
since we have rooted/magisk installed any twrp available yet ?

Not yet, but we are working on it

Thank you! I just bought you a cup of Coffee! :)
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] crimsonrommer:
Thanks, I saw! However I'm not the only one working on this, it wouldn't be fair to just donate to me, guosasipo is working on twrp as well as Leronex
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Gamercoolss:
Is this method working on LG V60 L51A model? its JP docomo model, it have oem unlock at dev option tho
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] MrLeronex:
No need to modify it, just flash someone else's
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] ShaniquaLTE:
just fyi- I am now facing a problem. Everytime I enable darkmode the phone stops responding. I tried factory reset and it works if I do not enable dark mode.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] crimsonrommer:
I don't think that's a unlock problem as I use it fine, may be a software bug

i'm on android 10 using a demo unit. Is there a way to download the official demo firmware?
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Dewsy:
Yes, after a long day of triing, i made it work. And i'm on Android 12!
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] MrBigLeomandingo:
Hey Bug,

Thanks for your response. I run Windows 10, not Windows 11, which was indicated in my initial posting. Pretty sure I have the correct OEM LG Drivers installed. The firehose I downloaded is the one provided in the initial posting of this entire thread by crimsonrommer. You stated that you linked the correct lge firehouse, however, I do not see that link. Could you please provide the link you referred to in response to my inquiry? Thank you.

I don't understand what any of this means, "No "Bangs" in driver manager, verify file/firehose, reboot phone back into EDL mode. Sometimes an operation or windows can shat itself. If it was working b4 just reboot phone back to edl. Sux b/c cant use adb or anything except button dance. Hope it helps!"

What does "No "Bangs" mean? What does "shat" mean? What does "button dance" mean? I'm an old-school American that was born in 1975 and am not privy to all of this modern generation's loose side-talking jargon.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] MrBigLeomandingo:
So at the end of the day, all I want to do is crossflash from LM-V600VM to V600TMO (Verizon to US Cellular via V600TM20g_00_USC_US_OP_0430.kdz). I have the correct LG USB Drivers via "LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.8.0", the correct firehose " prog__ufs_firehose_sm8250_lge.elf", and the correct partition manager program "QPST_2.7.496". However, the error message that I'm receiving in the partition manager is preventing me from achieving this objective.

My OS info: Edition Windows 10 Enterprise, Version 20H2, OS Build 19042.1826.

Is there anyone that can further advise me as to what is possibly causing this particular error message and provide guidance on a troubleshoot workaround? Thank you.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] MrBigLeomandingo:
Bug,

I have the following firehose; "prog__ufs_firehose_sm8250_lge.elf". Again, this is the same firehose provided by crimsonrommer, the original creator of this particular thread.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Bug725:
Not a huge deal 10 or 11 as any Win8 driver will work. I guess all you really need is the QFIL driver.

Re-Check qfil config. The phone is in correct mode meaning if there is nothing shown on screen of phone.

*Always use port on back of computer and never any hubs.

*Try different cables.

*Maybe try a USB2 port vs USB 3 port.

*Disable Anti-Virus

* Perhaps shorten folder name and drop into root of drive? Im older and experienced enough to remember limits on filenames and no spaces policy. lol Its possible as its Windoze. Try making LG_v60 folder and drop in C or D and tell QFIL new location.

Perhaps if this is a work computer. That may remotely have usb or comm ports locked or weird IT security policy.

*Some BIOS have port opsec charge only/no data over usb/etc setting. My Lenovos have that.

Weird as it suggests a comm problem. I select part mgr and get: you sure you have right firehose? Click Yes, then some log scrolls and then it pops up partition mgr.

*Try selecting use verbose in firehose config area. this may give more details on error or a different one??? Only other thing could be an old QFIL or driver but doubtful as you already verified that other stuff. Ill attach versions. QFIL is 2.0.3.5 and QDLoader 2.1.3.5 oddly. I would like to know if you do solve this and solution.

I hope this helps. I know it can be frustrating.

Initial thought was:

The bangs or exclamations in device mgr mean your drivers are not working. You need separate drivers for normal/adb, FastBoot (specifically heinous) & download mode (lg up).
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] highvoltage12v:
I'm trying to write back my stock ABl_A and ABL_B using QFIL. I get an error every time I try to write back the stock ones. Should I attempt to write them back in FASTBOOT like we did with BOOT_A and BOOT_B?
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] dangtoi1993:
if qfil error when sent file.

take a look for file name or file path, it must not include "space" or any"specail symbol"
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] Neofury212:
OK, so Im on Verizon LM-V600VM....followed everything as described. no errors and everthing worked all the way to the end....BUT no root and Magisk not installed? no other problems everything seems fine but busybox, supersu etc say no root and Magisk installed=N/a, Zygisk=no, Ramdisk=yes. Suggestions?

Hey guys, having trouble getting the fingerprint reader working on my Verizon V60. I did the optical fingerprint test like in the 3rd post and also tried using a piece of white printer paper as well as tissue paper between my thumb and the green circle as suggested in other posts and can't pass the test. The pass button never shows up. I updated the phone to Android 12 (30b), still no luck. I relocked the bootloader and the fingerprint works again. With the bootloader locked I again went into the fingerprint test and still can't pass the test, even though the fingerprint scanner still works.

Any ideas? Also, any recommendations on a Verizon phone that a) can be rooted and b) has a micro sd card slot?

Update: Huh, I got it working. I was trying to take a screenshot of the test screen to show what wasn't working and pressing the vol- and pwr buttons before hitting the start button and the pass button just showed up. So I tapped it until it made a sound and did the test, and keep doing that. It still failed in the end but the fp reader works now.

What will you lose when unlocking bootloader of v60 (e.g. sony xperia sometimes loses camera quality or cameras stop working after). Is this the same for LG as well?
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] dangtoi1993:
On LGV60:

- Lost user data ( ofcourse)

- Fingerprint will not work, need more step to fix it, but as i know (or i dont keep using it long time enough for calibrate it self) it will not accurate and fast like before.

- About Widevine certificate L1, dont care about it, LG V60 can switch from L1 to L3 after an ota update or no reason.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] xyzyzaur:
I had the same issue so i flashed backed up partitions and got back to att... Have you managed to fix it? I even went to bootloop and i was scared af, luckily edl mode was still an option so backups helped. But still wanna go to a12 and i might give it a try if it's possible to do it.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] KouaV1:
You can just do the easier way by setting up fingerprint during setup and then you won't have to do that annoying fingerprint enabler step in hidden menu. Have tested that through A10,A11, and A12. @crimsonrommer should really add that into the fingerprint sensor as another method for fingerprint.
[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] 1boy1dr:
Can system RW be enabled on 12? I tried following the guide in misc fixes and the script said my android version isn't supported. I tried using superrepacker and I got errors that wouldn't go away after running it 4-5 times and it bricked my phone. After restoring with LGUP I went back to the guide in misc fixes and edited to script to run on android 12, which didn't brick my phone, but it didn't work either. Someone mentioned flashing a modified vendor.img with TWRP for system RW, does that work for 12?

Can anyone confirm whether an AT&T branded V60 will still register on AT&T after cross-flashing? I know that they'll reject other carrier phones nowadays and was just curious whether their whitelist is tied to the IMEI or the software profile of the phone.
