How to do that？
This can avoid sprint‘s sim lock.and after that，the phone can do something like do a hard reset.
so how they can do it?and can LS993 flash to US993?
ls992 is able to flash US992‘’s rom,but it should exhange the phone's chins......
Where did you see this? Can you provide a link to the site showing where someone flashed this as your title says?
I recently flashed my ls993 on the h870 and everything worked except wifi and sim. I wanted to try h872 but this led to qdloader 9008. I need help and it's possible I can unlock the bootloader. I suspect that all lg g6 have the same motherboard and firmware can be put one and the same. I'm asking for help in unbricking and I wanted to check unlock.bin

Hi guys, first post here so please bear with me.
I recently bought a used LG G2, its the Sprint model from the USA. The previous owner had it rooted, and flashed a stock T-Mobile rom or might have been a custom T-Mobile rom.... needless to say, the model of the phone changed to D801 (the T-Mobile Variant).
So when I use LGFLASHTOOL to flash the Sprint *.tot file, it gives me an error message stating that the hardware model does not match the software I am trying to install, because the phone basically now thinks its a D801. The phone, however is the LS980 from Sprint. As well, *#06# is giving me a "null" IMEI. The previous owner never gave me the box ,so I don't even know the IMEI number for the phone. I'm really frustrated having bought the phone and now can't even use the stock firmware. Does anyone know how I can put the sprint firmware back on using the kdz method ? Or perhaps how I can override LGFLASHTOOL to flash the Sprint *.tot without it checking the hardware.
Please help, I'm out a lot of money if I can't figure this out. BTW the phone is no longer rooted, and keeps resetting itself. I had reflashed the stock T-Mobile rom because he told me it was tmobile (really was his own custom t-mobile rom) so now i dont even have TWRP on or root.
Again, the phone constantly turns on and off and I'm desperately seeking help. Thanks in advance.
P.S. Also wondering if its impossible to know imei if it says null.... but restoring the Sprint rom is my main priority.
Do you have access to recovery like twrp? If so, just flash a sprint Rom, any rom. That way the next time you use LGFlashTool it will detect it as a LS980.
Edit: I see that you don't have twrp. ..

Any update OP?
Were you able to fix this? I have the same issue.
Hi,
I have a V20 that works fine but I'm trying to unlock it. I thought I had a H918 but when I give my IMEI or use the unlock app from T-Mobile they are not able to find it. When I plugged my IMEI into a checker it says I have a VS995. I verified with a Verizon unlocker that my IMEI is a VS995.
Either way, I'm trying to flash a stock VS995 back on to it but LGUP obviously says I can not cross flash. How could this have happened in the first place?
Grab the patched copy of LG UP and dump your aboot partition and post a link. I need to see if the RSA key matches a VS995 or an H918.
If the key matches a VS995, then you can use the patched LG UP in partition DL mode to put the VS995 firmware back on your phone. If it matches the key of the H918, then you will brick your phone if you use anything other than H918 firmware.
If it is an H918 aboot, then someone has changed the IMEI of the phone. Even suggesting this is a gray area, but considering I am not telling you HOW to do it, then I think I will be safe...
You will need to buy a cheap T-Mobile phone, and change the IMEI over from that phone to this one, and then throw the cheap phone away.
Do not ask how to change an IMEI -- that is a no no on here.

Not asking about IMEI change

Thanks
That is most definitely an H918. Someone swapped the IMEI with a VS995.
If you flash VS995 firmware onto it, you will brick it.
Your only choice is to swap the IMEI back...
-- Brian
So strange, is there anywhere the IMEI is printed on the phone, I'm pretty sure its mandatory.
The phone has a T-Mobile ROM on it, was like that when I bought it as well.
Both of my V20s (H910 and H918) have the IMEI on a sticker under the battery. Did you buy the phone new?
-- Brian
Bought used, will report back. Thanks for all the help Brian
Edit, no sticker under battery, just a QR code.
Someone bought it used off of eBay (or somewhere) with a bad IMEI, refurbished it, and put a VS995 IMEI on it. Don't know if you bought from eBay or not, but whenever you buy a used cell phone, make SURE you are buying from a reputable dealer. It is very easy to grab a bunch of junk phones just for their IMEIs.....

hey guys..
anyone has qcn for vs995..?
Hi, I bought a LG g6 from a person on the internet, the phone works super well in everything, but until now I did not have the curiosity to unlock the bootloader, then I realized that the IMEI of my computer does not correspond to an LG G6, but to one of one older one (LG L50), so I can't unlock the bootloader, my question is, Can I install a KDZ file to my phone having the IMEI of another? or the program that installs the kdz file, LG UPPERCUT, checks the IMEI.
No, it sounds like your phone is probably stolen or blocked. Discussion of imei is banned in xda as trying to alter it is illegal.
Take the phone back to the seller or report them.
i was thinking that the phone suffer of change of IMEI, bad for me because i bought it like 1 mounth ago, anyway i will try if work flash any kdz for my model (H870), thanks for the replay btw
Dear all, I bought my lg v20 on eBay network locked. When i dial 2945#*910# it brings out different network unlocking options on clicking on dismiss i get "phone is permanently locked and cannot be unlocked". Pleasr anyone know how i can unlock the phone? It's root with dirty santa already. Your help is needed. Thanks
Hello. Did you fix this issue?
Flashing a US996 KDZ should do the trick, only model with ****ed up SIM lock is the H918
using the patched dll files for LGUP and used the US996 KDZ file.... choose the Partition DL option to flash the firmware using LGUP wola it worked.... again it worked with me but not sure if it will work with all...... if you do it you may end killing your phone forever..... right now my H918 is running US996 os
Please tell me is it work with H990Ds?
Hi guys, I have an issue with my G6 H870.
I wanted to get back to stock ROM yesterday, so I tried to get it back by LG UP and UPPERCUT.
I've installed 20j firmware but then my G6 stuck on LG logo screen.
I was trying multiple firmware version.
I asked admin of lg-firmwares website to help me choose the right one.
After I send him my IMEI he told me that: "Model is LGH870, Region is NEU, Latest version is H87020i_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0322.kdz".
This version didn't work so I've installed the latest version of Nougat for the region NEU - "H87011i_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0108.kdz".
Now I have no signal all the time, tried to install another ones but every single one of them shows no signal. Even if I change LTE to only GSM or WCDMA.
How to fix this? What causes the problem?
EDIT. I have unlocked bootloader if that matters.
EDIT 2. If I check adb it shows H870DS - but I don't have dual sim:
"List of devices attached
LGH870DSabced8d3 device"
