Hi, my question is simple. Can I flash Boost variant (XT1766) with Verizon firmware (XT1767)?
Verizon firmware is more friendly to use it outside of USA, this is why I am asking.
Thanks

Can I flash LG G6 t-mobile to AT&T without root? Got the phone for free.. That's why and I am on AT&T
no.
you would need root.. but if you flash any non-tmo bootloader/modem stuff onto the tmo version it will brick the phone.
tmobile g6 bootstack is different than all other G6 devices. and if you flash tmo boostack onto a non-tmo g6 it'll brick the phone.
all of the other non-tmobile G6 variants have a similar bootstack and could technically be shared as long as the anti-rollback fuse settings matched.
There goes my dream for visual voicemail for AT&T on t-mobile phone
Is the phone unlocked to work with an AT&T SIM? if so, just download the att VVM app in the play store. Did that on my unlocked dual SIM phone.
In G5 we can flash G5 puer rico H820pr on to G5 ATT H820. So G6 we can do the same?
Hey all,
So I'm looking to upgrade to the V20 from my aging Flex2. I'm a power user, so I like to be able to customize as many aspects of my experience as I can. I live in Australia, so I need to know 3/4 things mainly:
1. Which variant should I buy to work in Australia? Am I right to assume the US996 variant would work fine unlocked? I'm currently using an unlocked AT&T variant of the Flex 2.
2. How important is the bootloader unlock? I saw that LG has released an unlock for the US996 variant, but is it required for a lot of custom ROM support? Are there unlocks for other variants?
3. Which variant has the most dev support/activity? If I were to put a custom ROM on the phone instead of just sticking with stock rooted, is it better to get a global variant over the US996 one? The H918 T-Mobile variant looks to have the most custom ROM support on the Dev section.
Cheers guys. Looking forward to becoming part of the community.
I'm curious if the popular G6 model 870 can be used Verizon mainly.

I have the us997 model and everything works great on Verizon! Not sure the 870 works on vzw...
Your best bet for compatibility with Verizon is the us997 model. Make sure it's NOT tied to us cellular to have the ability to unlock the bootloader. For some odd reason the unlocked us997 has the same model as the US cellular Version. LG will only unlock the bootloader of the unlocked variants.
Hey guys
Ive searched the forums before posting this question
I saw that the US996 is recommended for rooting
I was wondering if there was any other model that supports GSM (att/ tmobile) and I can unlock and root?
As the US996 is very expensive compared to any other model..
Would an unlocked H910, H918, VS995, or LS997 work??
I want to root and change roms etc.. but economically
I'm thinking about buying a used US996 UCL (locked to US Cellular) to use on T-Mobile network.
Is there a service selling the unlock code for this phone? I haven't found any service that specifically say they do US Cellular phones.
If I root the phone, can I sim unlock it myself? Are all versions of this phone root-able, or will I need to check for something specific (security software version, firmware version, etc.)?
These are really noobish questions, but I hope someone can help me. Thanks!
According to their policy, all U.S. Cellular phones from February 2016 and newer already come SIM unlocked, so that's probably why you couldn't find any unlock codes/services:

Wow, that's really nice of US Cellular. It's a shame they have no presence where I am.
Thanks!
V20 are locked at OS level, flashing to a carrier-less firmware (US996), or a firmware from a carrier that doesn't lock their phone (everything aside from T-Mobile and Sprint), or an AOSP ROM (LineageOS) will unlock the device. Unless its a H918 or LS997, you don't have to worry about SIM locking
