[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] hooutoo:
This restore process is intended for the Tmob V60 (lmv600tm) model and you must WIPE your data so back it up if you want to keep it!

This process will restore the lmv600tm to the state directly after the ota upgrade to the Tmob a13 40a build. I’ve dumped all the required partitions from a MY personal lmv600tm. This process uses the Qfil utility, assumes you already have a working knowledge of Qfil and that you have already installed it on your Windows PC. If you don’t have that knowledge start reading. The internet is full of Qfil guides.

You can’t damage or fix your existing imei relevant partitions from this restore because they aren’t included in this download. YOU SHOULD NEVER BLINDLY ERASE ALL your partitions in qfil, NEVER!

You are responsible for backing up your existing phone partitions. I’m not liable for you using my work product and you do so at your own risk. If you’re unsure of what you’re doing then read more about Qfil and what is does. Again, if you are a newby go slow. Taking your time will save you a lot of pain and aggravation.

This process will not fix your erased or damage imei number problem. There are process out there but they are usually reserved for people with an expert level of knowledge on the subject.

This guide is for anyone who’s presently unable to boot or who just can’t access Tmob ota services and wishes to upgrade their lmv600tm to the a13 40a build. I have only tried this when my phone was already on an Android 13 rom. That’s not to say it won’t work coming from an a11 or a12 rom but I haven’t tried it.

This process will not fix your erased or damage imei number problem.

Steps

Download “Lmv600tm-a13_40a Restore.7z” file from here. and unzip. Remember the unzipped restore directory path.

Included in the downloaded zip is a directory “Extra Files”, which has the required v60 firehose, an already magisk 25.2 patched boot.img and a ABL_ENG_V60.bin to enable fastboot and fastbootdd commands. This is not a thread to discuss these three files. If you don’t know what they are start reading or leave them alone. The v60 forum and the internet are filled with info on them.

Plug your phone into PC with USB cable and put you phone in EDL (9008) mode. Again, there are guides on how to do this everywhere.

Start Qfil and select the port of your phone’ connection. (See Windows device manager)

Select the v60 firehose from the “Extra Files” directory.

Select storage type = ulf which is located at the bottom right of the Qfil dialog screen. I’m using Qfil 2.0.3.5 version.

Next click on the “load XML” button and group select “rawprogram0” thru “rawprogram6” which are also in the unzipped directory, then hit OK. Next it will ask for the Patch0.xml file, hit cancel as we’re not patching anything. Rawprogram5 (lun5) along with the associated partitions are not included so don’t ask for them.

Wait a few seconds and then click on the “Download” button. Qfil will now resolve all the names of the partitions to be restore and then start the download process to the phone.

When the restore is complete you must manually restart your phone by holding both the volume down button and the power button for approximately 10 seconds.

Please remember this is a courtesy extended to v600tm owners so play nice.
