Random device name change - LG G6 Questions and Answers

I have an LG G6 unrooted, boot-loader locked South African variant. No matter how many times i change the device name under settings> general> about phone>phone name, it always changes to "lucye" after a few hours, or days, or a week or so. I'm not sure what triggers it, it appears completely random. what could be causing that.

You have ShareIt app.? I think it is the one to blame. I had the same problem with my G5 & G6+. I uninstalled the latest version then changed it to an older one. Hope this helps.

Can confirm this. I found out Shareit had become absolutely crapware and was modifying phone name. Uninstalled it right away, rarely ever used it anyways.
So check for such apps.

I mean as in Device Fingerprint. The one that is in the file Build.Prop
It's a error in that, resulting in fixing it by root. It has nothing to do with Security nor PINs.

True and eh. I highly doubt Google could pull a Pokemon GO and look into files just to give it a red flag. Recently had to fix two others because of the same issue. This is indeed a issue that hasn't been fixed by 1+. If it isn't, and people are passing with the Fingerprint that is installed I will shut up. But I have yet to see that happen, Unfortunately.

T-Mobile to Global (USA) Firmware8t+ 5G

I just got my unlock stuff from OnePlus and I know there is a thread on here for converting but from what I see it is to go to EU firmware and has some other steps I assume that are for rooting. I don't want to root I just want to install the USA Unlocked firmware on mine. What is the current process for that are there downloads yet or are we still waiting?

Reason being is that T-Mobile lags hella hard on their updates. OnePlus, on the other hand, is pretty quick on releasing their updates. Conveting your phone to global means that we can update our phones as soon as oxygen updater gets the updates.

The payload extraction gives you the files to flash using fastbootd, I'm sure if someone had access to a file hosting site they could just host the files already extracted into a downloadable zip file.

Global is worthless. No local upgrade and OTAs won't work if you modify system files. There's no way to get a clean set of fastboot files since OnePlus isn't publishing the firmware.
Convert to EU and don't question it. The modem works perfectly.
