Hello all, I have the LG G6 H872PR, it's from Claro Puerto Rico, they were selling them at $317 with tax for a couple of days so I grabbed one obviously....this version doesn't let me change the launcher to the app drawer version nor let me download themes, also LG Smart World just ask me to connect the watch if I side-load it....My question if someone knows is....could I flash the T-Mobile kdz? I'm pretty sure it's the same phone and the PR in the model it's just the Claro software...
You can?
Were you able to do it? I'm looking for answers too. Thanks
I'm having the same thoughts. Also, I wonder if we're eligible for the 2-year warranty promise(?), the site won't accept my IMEI as valid so I assume not.
Is from lg caribbean, not us

I registered my device on that site, unfortunately only got a 1-year warranty.
follow up on original question
Did anybody was able to flash H872PR with T-Mobile software.
Thank you.
So, did any one do it?
Has anyone tried it? The H872PR got no update at all, but the H872TN and H872BK already got oreo. I had checked the firmware at- lg-firmwares.com- . I want to get oreo but I'm not going to risk it

If anyone is wondering,
IT DOESN'T WORK
I took the risk. I flashed H872TN oreo to my Claro H872PR and it won't turn on at all. I did researches and tried everything and it wont boot at all.
Please, DO NOT TRY IT AT ALL COST.

That's because all the G6 devices have different partition layouts.

Do you have any clue how to fix it?
Should I send it back to the seller? ( I didn't bought it from an official LG store, but it does have 1 year warranty)
I have contacted the seller. I told them the phone just won't boot at all. I also asked if the repairing procedures broke the water proofing, will they send a new unit.
And they replied "We will fix it with no cost at"
Do they really know how to fix it and is it possible?
I'm currently in the same situation as this guy https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g6/help/g6-hard-bricked-t3757370
But his phone is already fixed by RMA https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg6/comments/815ug3/lg_g6_hard_bricked/
Will it work on my phone?

Sadly no I do not. My aplogies. I just thought I should throw my 2 cents in about the partitions.
@Denversmartphone may be able to help you. I've noticed he posts lots of logs involving repairing G6s but he never really explains how it's done. From the logs we can see he restores from SD card but that's where my digging ends.
no hope to repair lg g6 in hard brick..i repair lg g6 dead boot yes but not in sd card way..all the way i try was wrong.. lg g6 is not unbrickable..i repair with jtag pro box... but you can only repair the h870 and the h873, i repair my h871 with loader of the h873 but not fixit..yes the phone will boot and can connect to pc, but the driver of the lcd are "caput" so in practis i cannot see the lcd even if you put it one new..i cannot fix my phone until someone release a h871 kdz...for the h872 there isn't any hope..but specialy for the lg g6 there isn't any hope for fix the dead boot..hope someone one day will find a way to fix it in qfil
Lg G6 H87220a .kdz
Somebody can put the download link of the Stock Rom of the Lg G6 H87220a .kdz, that is the new version of Android Oreo. I can not find anything in google.

That's where a leaked engineering aboot would help like the V20 guys got. Unfortunately it doesn't work for the G6.
LG has us guys all chasing a pot of gold. The G6 is the first phone I've ever had this much trouble with but it's such a beautiful device.

So, what should I do now?
Should I send my H872PR back to the seller? I just contacted the seller and said that the phone didn't boot at all. He told me he would fix it for no cost. (1year international warranty) Do you think the warranty work in this situation?
I bought it from China(took 2 weeks to arrive). But it wasn't an official LG store. Can they fix it??

My last resort is to send my H872PR back to the seller under 1year international warranty. Does the warranty apply in this situation?
Do you think they can fix it?
also, is it worth waiting 2 weeks just waiting for my phone to arrive at the seller?
well...i suggest you yes to give back to the seller, you have to say to him that somethink going wrong when come the update to you..so say i just update my mobile and the phone doesn't boot anymore..they will repair for free if it is in waranty...they have a professional and expencive box i think for repair phone..only lg have a official kdz file and loader for unbrick..nobody can unbrick without rawprogram.xml and patch..i have the firehose ufs for the lg g6 but without rawprogram and patch.xml we cannot unbrick
@Denversmartphone
He took the risk and it was his own decision. He bricked his phone.
You give him an advice to lie and cheat the seller.
If you were his seller would you give him this same advice as well? [emoji35]

Yea, I agree with you. I don't like to lie either. But, should I tell the seller the truth? that I tried flashing wrong firmware (H872TN to my H872PR) just to get Oreo 8.0?
I'm afraid that if I tell the truth, they won't even bother trying to repair the phone at all.
And, even if they did repair it, do you know how much does it cost?

hello. i recently purchased lg g2. its back cover says d802 but on the inside it says d801/d803. so first idk what model it actually is. can u please help me figure out its model?
secondly after a firware upgrade through lg pc suite it got stuck on lg logo and wont move forward. it can enter download mode. idontknow much about software programming so i seeked help. i took it to repairs but the guy said someone flashed the wrong rom into ur phone as we cant determine which model it actually is so now you have to purchase new IC for your phone. so rom flashing wont fix the problem now i guess. please help me out whether i really have to change the ic or it can be solved through software fix. i would be really thankful for ur help.
Hello frnds,
I just purchased a new g2 off from ebay and updated the phone using lg pc suite and boom!!! the phone stopped detecting any network. On diagonising, i figured out its IMEI became null.
When i purchased, the phone worked well and luckily i have noted down the imei number and the original firmware: D80220e(just could not find this firmware's .kdz anywhere on XDA) . So the first attempt was to reinstate the imei. But the pc just would detect the phone in both QPST and LG PC suite. So i checked online, the imei number belonged to UAE, so I flashed the UAE firmware using .kdz method. The phone went into a boot-loop plus it kept formatting itself with every boot.
Then i tried the indian firmware version, with this the touch drivers seem to have got currupted. it does not detect touch properly.
Then I read somewhere that such things can happen if the firmware flashed is of a different model. So i needed to check the exact model no. of my phone and so i opened by back cover just to find that some parts like antenna, nfc chip, back cover etc had 802 model no. on them while below the battery and on the F touch strip beside it, its given as LS980. Further, the back cover has 802t printed on it. Now i am totally confused what to do.
I had read on a post on XDA that some people are selling G2 for real cheap by mixing the left over spare parts of all g2 models as the model is about to close and hence they are clearing off all inventory. Looks like I am stuck with such a peice.
Please suggest what shall i do. Need help desperately.
My ebay vendor is situated in my city itself and he has more such peices.
Attaching pics, please see them and suggest accordingly.

Hello
I have an LG G4 bought from eBay.in and It came with the usual LG stock android OS.
Now the PROBLEM is
1- that it shows in the About menu --> Hardware Info --> LG-H815
2- on its back (internal) it is labeled as H811
3- in the ADB it shows as LGLS991
It came rooted with SuperSU, and i have literally did what i could do from what i have learned on xda to flash TWRP on it but i was not successful.:crying::crying::crying:
Now the thing is that I am willing to give Rs.1000 to the person who can do this for me. I can come anywhere in INDIA (Favorably North and Middle India like Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh etc ) to the person who agree to Flash latest TWRP in my LG G4 + Latest Marshmallow LG stock rom.:victory:
Anyone who is confident to do this can call/message me on +918085612340 or mail me at [email protected]

dude your G4 looks refurbished one.
probably LG Sprint version MB with other version Access I think.
Sprint version have Root Only. they doesn't have TWRP or any other recovery.
so don't mess with your G4.
Play safe....:fingers-crossed:
Brother I understand what you are saying but I just cannot look at a phone without TWRP or a Custom ROM...I'm even willing to pay more if someone can do it.
I suggest you check your IMEI, If it's null or unusual, I think you better not mess with it, or you'll likely get bricked.

looks good to me....
Hey folks, thanks again for for all the work keeping this phone supported.
I just got my V20 and I'm trying to get it working with my UK SIM (O2, 4G) but since I did the Dirtysanta root I've not been able to get mobile service on any ROM, even return to stock or flashing the 915 KDZ. I stupidly didn't make a backup with LGUP!
Any ideas how I can restore service to the phone? I'm currently on unrooted H915 KDZ. Does anyone know of modem files etc I could use to try and get SIM service working again? I've seen a guy posting a 'universal modem' here but he didn't seem like a particularly knowledgeable user, and I've also seen a zip of the 'h910 oreo modem' but I'm reluctant to flash anything unless I'm sure.
Or could it be a physical fault with the phone (ie the SIM slot)? Is there a way of ruling that out?
Cheers for the help! My new phone has turned into a total nightmare and I could really use the support
PS: I opened up the phone to aply thermal paste, and the mainboard seems to be an F800L Is it possible the refurb seller was using F800L modem firmware with the stock Nougat AT&T ROM?

Not sure...but a do quick look in your mobile networks and make sure set to automatic. Seems dumb, but if not that can cause service issues.

I've had a good play with network settings but sadly I think the problem goes deeper than that...
After succesfully flashing the wonderful LineageOS into my Samsung Galaxy Tab A i was so excited to do the same with my LG G6 H870. Today i set up the connection, wanted to get the bin file from LG developer site and realized they had shut down the site 31. december 2021. Now i am left with locked bootloader
And i believe many people will be sad because of this. Its unfair from LG to remove this option. If they will continue to support a few recent phones with SW updates they also had to leave the bootloader unlock service alive for a few years too.
I dont know if any developer is reading this but would it be possible to find an exploit if we are forced to because of no other options left? Like when devs are reverse engineering licence key validation and then building keygens, so to examine the bin file and the corresponding IMEI, device ID, possibly gather further bin files and IMEI, device ID from other forum members and find the logic behind it?
Could anybody give us hope?
Thank you for your opinions.
I'm in same boat with G5H850. Hope someones finds a solution beacause several LG support answered me they cannot perform the unlock anymore...
I feel so disappointed as it was an automated process that they do not support it anymore.
Is there any other way to flash trwp now? Would firehouse help?
Same to me, I wanted to upgrade an old G6 to LineageOS and got stopped out.
Thank you LG, I won't buy any **** from your company anymore.
So if anyone finds a workaround for this issue, please post a solution in this thread. Tyvm in advanced.
Any new methods??

I highly doubt and i would be surprised.
I dont think G6 was such a popular model across the globe. Everybody has moved to the more recent versions and are unlocking them with a special method.
I think its not worth to waste development time on it. Maybe if there could be "keygen" type script to generate the files for every LG model globally.
I am sad btw. I have renewed my galaxy tab a tablet with a nice Lineage and i believe it would boost my G6 as well. I would pay a reasonable price if i could flash a custom ROM into it.

There most likely won't be a new method. The unofficial methods are used through EDL, and the EDL isn't accessable without shorting pins or test points. I'm glad i unlocked mine the day i got it last year.

But that EDL stuff method is for a few newer models only,right? I dont believe it would work on G6 as well. I did not dig into it deeper but as far as i remember its a specifix kernel for the EDL stuff method, chipset is different, partitioning is different, so it wont work on G6. But i might be wrong of course

Yeah, i ment that. Cuz the EDL is basically not made to be accessed on the G6 and lower, there won't be a method.
A responsible company should put out a bootloader unlock code generator while discontinuing its mobile business. Or change the unlocking method to Google pixel's standard way in the last system update, i.e. unlocking via command line
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
