Some time ago I loaded a US Cellular ROM on my US unlocked V20. I'm looking for the stock US unlocked ROM but don't know which one is it on lg-firmwares.com. Can anyone give me a pointer please? Thank you
I apologize, this should have been in the Q/A section.
Anybody know if I can lgup uppercut flash the H918 stock Rom to the Sprint LS997ZVC??? I have read a comment that I found saying something that LS997ZVC is ARB1 and if I'm gonna flash a room to it, it has to have an equivalent ARB1 rom?. I order a TMobile variant LG V20 from Amazon and they freaking sent me a Sprint Variant.... I took the phone to Sprint and they said the device is network unlocked but when I try TMobile Sim with the correct Tmo APN(fast.tmobile.com blah blah) in the phone it doesn't even work. TMobile even says the phone should be able to work on their network but it's "up to Sprint".... WTH... I have read the US996 to LS997 thread but the guy had no signal ability at all after flashing due to that the us996 flashed into the wrong partitions. I even tried eBay for a network unlock code but they say the phone is already unlocked.. WTH man.
Can someone help and guide me through this?
No, you can't flash the H918 KDZ onto your phone. The RSA key in the CPU is different -- you will have a 9008 brick.
Your phone doesn't work on T-Mobile's network because Sprint is run by a bunch of assholes and they deliberately lockout the bands that you need via the modem firmware. Since your phone is ARB 1, you can't root it currently to fix it.
Sorry -- return it to Amazon if they sent you the wrong phone.

AH BUMMER!. Oh well, İ appreciate you taking your time to reply bro. Thanks
Hey Everyone,
I'm brand new to this world, so I apologize that I could not piece together the information I need through existing threads.
I recently switched carriers from Verizon to Sprint, and through Sprint's IMEI check I was told my phone (G930V) was incompatible. Was wondering what the consensus was on whether or not it would serve me better to try flashing G930U or G930P? If anyone knows of a particular thread that could help that would be great, this is my first rodeo but I love my S7 and am already sick of having to use Sprints Moto E4 -_-.
Thanks.

G930U
with G930P, Sprint has choosen a bootloader which is e-fused and not compatable with the other variants.

Thanks a ton. Makes more sense now that I couldn't find any G930V -> G930P threads. I know I saw some G930V -> U threads though so I'll have to check them out. Appreciate the help!
After receiving the update to 8.0 my phone relocked and it has taken me on a journey to get it unlocked again since i was not the original owner of the sprint lg v20 they would not help me even though the phone had met ALL CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENTS AND I OWENED THE PHONE LEGIT THEY JUST WOULD NOT HELP PERSISTENCE PAYS OFF I WENT ON THE SPTINT COMMUNITY SITE AND HEARD OF EM_WILL_I_AM WHICH I FOUND OUT ABOUT HIM HERE ON XDA ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS THAT HE IS THE MAN HE HAD ME PUT SOME CODES IN THE PHONE RESTARTED AND KABOOM THE PHONE IS NOW 100% UNLOCKED RUNING ON METROPCS. THANK YOU EM_WILL_I_AM AND THANK YOU XDA
i want to unlock my v20 i paid it on ebay. but is updated to oreo.
Link to thread
I also have a Sprint unlocked V20 that I have had sprint pretty much shut me down in trying to re-unlock it after the Oreo update. Is there anyway you can post the link to the conversation, or the codes EM_WILL_I_AM gave you?
Thank you!
Device is unlocked and I finally got to move over to T Mobile. Went through HELL however got it done and was well worth it. Speed is like 100 times better ( was getting .01 DL speed on Sprint and now its 20.0 MB!!!! Long story with a different thread about it right here on the XDA if you are interested.
New problem is that I have just read online about Sprint coming like a month later after you moved over to T Mobile and re locking your S7 after its working on T Mobile (https://community.sprint.com/t5/Pro...longer-accepting-TMobile-sim-card/m-p/1023474).. They then allegedly fix the problem but I naturally want to prevent it all together.
Any way to make sure they can't do this to my paid off device?
Should I flash the G930T firmware or the G930P T-Mobile variant? Or maybe I should just stay with the latest Sprint version which is the one that is running right now?
Im on v9 bootloader so Ill have to wait if the best is the G930P T-Mobile variant Firmware. in order to prevent Sprint from relocking my device.. Theres currently a Virgin Mobile, 2 Unknowns and a Sprint variant for the v9 bootloader https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/SM-G930P/.
Any insight into any of this is highly appreciated. Thanks.

I moved to cricket and my phone didn't relock. I would either Odin the T-Mobile if on 9 or the U firmware, since it is on 9.
