Basically what it says in the subject. I have a VS995 I'd like to use on T-Mobile and have the same terrible LTE connection as everyone else who tries this. I've read US996 based ROMS (As well as Lineage OS) solve the issue, but doesn't really matter to me if I am rooted.
I was wondering if it is possible to save a whole bunch of steps and possible pitfalls and just use the modified LGUP to flash a US996 KDZ directly. If so is there a specific one that works the best?
Thanks in advance.

Have you found out anything yet? I am thinking about switching to Simple Mobile today and my VS995 is suppose to be unlocked.
any success. I'm trying to do the same thing
found this thread. it does exactly that. I was able to flash us996 kdz to vs995 https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/guide-patch-lgup-to-unlock-features-t3652222
Haven't tested all the features yet, but looks promising.

Hi everyone,
Do you know if it's possible to install the US996 variant ROMS into the H918? (perhaps tweak the US996 variant ROM to have H918 drivers) so that we don't brick it.
(BTW, I tried it with desolation rom US996, but it only resulted in a screen bootloop) (ON/OFF bootloop)
That's why I'm asking.
reverted back to stock using the LGUP method.
Thanks!
I'd like to know this too.
Thanks!
I'm guessing no one knows the answer?
What I do know is that you must never flash a complete firmware or bootloader from any other variant.
Only H918 firmware for H918.
But if you can use system partition from another, IDK. Presumably there would be some problems with this, considering the developers make separate versions and your own failure.
I've read in multiple thread that it is possible to flash US996 ROMS on H910.
Can someone please explain how to do this?
Thank you
Just flash us996 roms like any other rom
I tried. I get an error that says it doesn't match the model number. (Mine is shown as Elsa).
Have you tried flashing only the system from the US996 onto the H910? That might be a workaround. I'm still not at there yet to test this on mine as I've been working on my phone and with T-Mobile to fix some account issues.
and someone knows if it is multi-lingual, because my h910at & t unfortunately does not have native language?
Hello everyone! I need the help of this community to try to overcome a doubt that plagues me.
I am a happy user of a LG V20 from VERIZON, however I am using it in Portugal. The only problem I found was the lack of APN, which I solved with the manual configuration. With regular use, I noticed that this equipment has a great deficit in network capture.
This way I ask for your help here. My equipment being a VERIZON equipment, VS995.
Can I install a ROM from other devices? Namely H990DS, H918, H910, US996, LS997.
If so, what guarantees better network coverage? Which one has the least trash from the operator?
I run the risk of having the phone locked if I change ROM?
Thanks and see you all soon.
I can only tell you that if you flash the H918 firmware, you will brick your phone. The H999DS just won't work. The others .. flash then and try. Make sure what you flash is ARB 0 since the VS995 is still ARB 0, and if what you flash doesn't work, you need to be able to flash the VS995 KDZ back .. can't do that if you have flashed firmware with a higher ARB.

Pardon me if this already asked and answered... but XDA's search function blows...
Are there any ROMs compiled directly from LG OpenSource Code Distribution?
I have a H910 (it has the widest range of LTE support), but I'm not on AT&T.
My phone is rooted, and substantially de-branded - but, reliability and standard features continue to be an issue.
I just want something BASIC, and feel the LG ROM (before AT&T "customized" it) would be the best place for me to start.
That is not rom source. its kernel source

Which answers the question of why it was so small... only a couple of hundred MB, IIRC.
When I rooted my phone, I used @runningnak3d's method, which started with flashing H91510e...
Do you think I'd have better luck finding a vanilla ROM in the 915 arena?
I notice there is not an Oreo release on LG OpenSource for the H915.
Do you think that an indicator that a stock(ish) ROM 8.0 is not forthcoming for the H915 developement?
Thanks

The main reason there's no rom development is because the h915 software has been stuck on 10q which is on the may 2017 security patch. So it hasn't been updated for a year now and feels like lg canada has abandoned it. Another reason is when h915 uses dirty santa/elf, there is no signal using the phone so h915 have to convert to us996 kdz and then dirtysanta/elf to get working signal. Then the phone can use the latest us996 roms that are on 10p april 2018 patch.

Finally, a carrier worse than AT&T on keeping up their releases.
Not that it 's a good thing....

I remember that being noted as an issue in @runningnak3d's instructions for rooting the H910. However, I thought I remembered it only applying to the T-Mobile variant.

Wouldn't simply flashing the modem solve that?

Would this be a solution for my issue? Which is finding the most current / stable ROM, with the least carrier customization.
AT&Ts removal of most Mobile Network settings, and their incessantly annoying errors in Messaging (because I'm not on AT&T) often make me regret having this phone.
Additionally, I now have all kinds of Camera FCs on 10r that I just did not have on 10q.
If I can cross flash my H910 to US996, how does that play out on LTE support?
My whole reasoning for going with the H910 is that is supports the widest range of LTE bands of any V20.
I've assumed all along that was hardware specific, though something I read recently about Sprint/Verizon ROMs made me think they are controlling LTE band access at the software level.
Regards

Ya I believe you can use us996 ROM on h910 device. I seen few people run it like that.
I am tired or fighting with AT&T over getting the Oreo update, and the H910 being the only V20 that the carrier doesn't allow OEM support for... What is the difference on the hardware between the H910 and the H915? I am having difficulty finding specs online for the H915, for instance it is not listed on the GSM arena website: But from what I can find out, they have the same radio and encryption keys, and therefore are able to be mutually flashed in either direction... I have seen rooting tools that recommend flashing the H910 with an H915 rom to install custom recovery, then use the custom recovery to install stock H910 with root... But has anyone just left their H910 with an H915 rom? I want to finally have KDZ support for this phone if possible...
Your help and answers are greatly appreciated...

Yes you can using the patched LGUP
