Probably the closest we are to having LS993 firmware available - Sprint LG G6 Questions & Answers

So after some Googling, I came across a thread from the official LG Website asking when LG will release the stock KDZ for LS993. A mod there responded by saying "Please see the following link for LG's open source. http://opensource.lge.com/index".
I was able to download one of the tar.gz files for one of the firmwares here: opensource.lge.com/osSch/list?types=ALL&search=LS993, but couldn't for the life of me figure out how to use the open source LS993 firmware to make a proper KDZ or TOT file.
Thread in question: https://lgcommunity.us.com/discussi...elease-the-stock-kdz-firmware-for-lg-g6-ls993

Right kdz for a clean flash

Hello,
I have a LG G3 32 GB and my firmware is
V10g-SEA-XX.
I saw on the forum here a method on how
To flash my machine, but i do not know which
Kdz file is compatible with my phone.
Notice : on my current firmware, when the phone is turned on for the first time or when it is being reset to factory setting i have the abillity to chose Hebrew as the phone's langwuge, i would like to have an appropriate kdz which would let me have the same option.
Also, if i would flash an italian Kdz, would my firmware stay XXX- SEA-XX ?
someone?

It's a non official LG page, that points you to a download on a official LG website.

[Q] LG G2 lollipop update using kdz file

I own a LG G2 D802, and my software version is D80220c-AME-XX. I recently found a open source code on lg website for LG G2 D802, It was a lollipop 30d source file. I wanted to ask that wether I could flash this source file on my model and if there will be any problems. Here is the link of the source file on Lg website : www(dot)opensource(dot) lge[dot]com/osSch/list?types=ALL&search=d802 {remove 'dot' and replace with "." }
My phone has middle eastern version of software as you can ses there is AME in thd software version. If the kdz file present in the link is fine for my model, can you also describe the process of upgrading software using kdz file.
Thank You

H831 10D KDZ Released [RGS] (May 23 2016)

H831 Rogers 10D KDZ Here
As always.. this KDZ and others can be found @ bit.ly/lgkdzlist
I'd assume an OTA will be coming as well. This KDZ should work with LGUP. You could also use LG Bridge and have it download and install the KDZ for you. LGUP is good for when you can't boot into Android... Bridge doesn't work as well when you are stuck with only download mode.
Directions for both LGUP and LG Bridge can be found in my "all-in-one" thread here.
I don't have a changelog. Hopefully someone else can hare that info when they have it.
I'm not sure when the other Canadian carriers will get updates but bit.ly/lgkdzlist will be updated if I find any more links. And if someone else has a KDZ link not on the list feel free to add it.

Got the Fido update, haven't done it yet in hopes of a root exploit on current versions.

I want to flash back to ls993 firmware after flashing the H873 oreo kdz

Hello everyone, I just got this G6 ls993 with stock firmware Nougat on 29th May.
Then I went through some of the thread and found there is the way to flash different stock kdz to change the model.
And as you know that H873 has released its oreo stock kdz weeks ago, can't wait another day to use the new oreo system.
So I downloaded H873 stock oreo firmware and force flash the h873 kdz to my ls993. So far everything works well.
And of course, my phone model was change from ls993 to H873 with the new oreo firmware as well, then I just realized LG has released its official oreo for ls993 on 31st May...
I regret why I couldn't wait on the Nougat for 1 or 2 more days,otherwise I would be able to just ota to oreo as a "ls993" rather than "H873".
Now the question comes, is there any chance that I can flash ls993's stock Nougat or oreo?
I've been searching for the ls993 stock kdz for a while , but seems LG hasn't released any version of stock kdz for lsd993 yet and not sure if they were already on the way to do this either.
There may be probably no official stock kdz for ls993 , so what should we do to flash back to its stock model?
Hope anyone who is suffering the same problem can help to get it solved.

So, obviously, you are pretty much scr3wed right now. Flashing different model's .kdz was HIGHLY unrecommended.
First of all, you can try repairing software using LG Bridge on your PC. I don't know how this works but that piece of crap reflashed my phone with branded carrier software that was originally installed on my phone and I had totally different firmware flashed... it still managed to recognize my device and punish me for debranding my device.
So try this in the first place, LS993 firmwares weren't released by LG as stated here down in the comment section.

Hi a guy posted the below images from ZV6 but dont know how to use it and dont know if it can help you, I dont need it cause dont live in the US and wanted to sim unlock my phone.
https://mega.nz/#!mUMGXQrT!si9ED-X5_yOq1P21Xz9vKMT_uC3N7dcEyRgIWobHh-Y
I posted a thread on LS993 asking if someone could make what the guide say and try to save the KDZ from a ZVA version ,but no one has replied. And when I found that guide already flashed my phone to H873.
Its a shame that people dont wanna help

Thanks for the advise, seems the only way is to wait for LG to release the stock kdz for ls993.
Anyway hope it will come some day...

I don't think they don't wanna help.
All ls993 users are in the same situation,
1. There is no kdz for ls993, so no one can do a fresh restore to the stock firmware.
2. No root or TWRP, there is no simple way to restore the system.img to ls993
Let wait for LG to release the kdz for ls993...

I have some new findings at https://www.needrom.com/download/ls993-7-0-tot/
As shown in the page, it is a LS993 tot file, however, seems current instruction only work on kdz file and there is no instruction for tot.
I know that tot file is also an img file with all the system partitions, it was used for flashing the stock firmware as well as kdz file.
I've successfully downloaded the file from mega and its size is about 6G after extracting it from the zip file.
So looking forward if anyone is familiar with tot file flash and seems this should be the possible way that we can flash back to ls993.
Thanks.

Please Help for me.How to force flash H870 firmware in Ls993
How I force flash H870 firmware in LS993 help me Now.
I am in the same boat. I ordered my phone on Amazon used because it was selling cheap. Curious i wanted to see what the modding community was doing for this phone so i looked into the phone itself. I checked to imei and it said my H873 was actually an LS993. It is running the H873 Oreo rom H87320c rom. Can i do the i update or am i screwed for now?
I bought one of the Amazon AS993 phones as well (was labelled H872 on site). Will H872 kdz flash successfully on this and give me the Volte calling with Metro/T-Mobile? I have the phone online with metro now but the firmware is set up for Brightpoint network without Volte calling and native video calling. I do understand the imei will conflict with OTA updates, but will H872 flash and work like it should on this hardware - all components appear the same.
