Hi, i'm in the uk and just bought an lg g6 h870 off ebay. I was wondering if I could put a European or uk version of the firmware on it at all? Couple of reasons... 1 to get rid of the t mobile splash screen at startup and 2. I want to be able to sell it on and not have a potential buyer worried that its the American version? Also, will this phone work ok in the uk anyway? I've just switched it on and all seems to be ok with my phone calls and wifi etc
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks in advance Alan
Just flash open EU Open 10L kdz, but to get rid of the bloatware you need to do a hard reset with buttons (which wipes the device so do backup) that will wipe all bloatware. Then restore.

That's great thanks! I don't have any data on it anyway so happy to reset! So I flash the firmware then hard reset or the other way around?
First reset, then connect phone and flash, but you'll need to install LGUP and UPPERCUT to flash the kdz.

Sounds complicated. I have teamviewer... Could I pay you to do it for me please?
It's really simple, download and install LGUP, UPPERCUT and LG drivers, then download the kdz from here https://lg-firmwares.com/download-file/?fileId=9855, then connect phone via cable in transfer mode, and start LGUP subject refurbish and select kdz, and press start, wait for process to finish, done.

Thanks for all your help, i'll give it a go now!
No problem, just remember the kdz is 2.88 gig so may take a while to download

yeah, got 5 minutes left! I've just done the hard reset and i'm now back on the welcome screen. How do I put it in transfer mode now? Or will it just happen once I open the software to put the firmware on?
Just leave phone on the language selection screen, install all the software bits on the pc, then reboot pc, when you connect phone to pc, select files transfer mode on phone in dropdown (default is Charge only). Open LGUP select refurbish on 3 dit menu browser to disclosed kdz, abject then press start.

All nearly sorted but its saying kdz file invalid as I download h870 eu version and my phone is h872 but I've looked on the list and theres only north American for h872?
In your original mail you said H870, think the 872's are carrier locked...

I've put h872 in the title but then I've put h870 in the thread by mistake sorry!!! It's the h872 that I have unfortunately. Is there no way I can put different software on then? I've been able to use a few different carrier sims no problem if that means anything?
H872 is USA locked from checking on the web, so it's not an unlocked device which limits what you can do, sorry.

Would unlocking the boot loader help or is that irrelevant?
Don't think the H872 can be unlocked yet, only the US 997 and Euro 870 can be unlocked.

If I can use, ee, Vodafone, o2 and all different carrier sims in the uk does that mean its already unlocked?
Yip, sounds like it, but since it's 872 the 870 kdz won't work.

Finally got Beta + Huawei Mobile Services installed. But there are no projects available.
Yeah I tried the beta app too but I think you need to rebrand to a region that is getting the update I'm just not sure what region to rebrand to to get the uodate.

Anybody know what model I can rebrand the vky-l09 to? There's sosny firmwares I'm not sure which is comparable with this. New to these units came from Sony very different how you mod these ones. And if I root can I backup OEM info and save it to restore later?

Hi,
I've been having issues with my lg G6 since the Oreo update. It has been overheating and rebooting several times a day and sometimes does it in a loop. I've been getting messages that lots of apps including Google apps are not responding.
I have tried factory resetting the phone but still getting the same issues.
Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated
Thanks
Are you rooted?

I haven't rooted
Download an Oreo Open EU .kdz and flash it with LGUP & Uppercut, that may help, could be a glitch with OTA update.

If u couldnt fix it u can get ur phone to warranty service they have a special box and flash ur phone if supported but make a backup from ur media before it
