Can firmware update by OTA outside US? - AT&T LG V10

Hi.
I want to buy LG V10 H900 and use in japan.
Can I use firmware update by OTA in japan?
I have AT&T prepaid sim card.

I would think so since it's mainly done on Wi-Fi, but your best bet is to talk to AT&T International Customer Support

I live in Canada and using a unlocked AT&T V10, it wont let me upgrade to 6.0, you will need a active at&t sim card in you phone to get the upgrade

Is it possible to use L710 S3 on Verizon?

I apologize ahead of time if this question is being asked in the wrong section. If so, please redirect me.
I mistakenly bought S3 L710 for Sprint even though I am currently under Verizon 2 year plan. The price on ebay was cheaper for the sprint version and I jumped on it without double checking. I have read online that the hardware is (essentially) the same and they both have 4G LTE technology. My question is whether it's possible to activate this phone on Verizon and then flash the Verizon's software.
PS: I have been reading this forum for a bit and it appears that some other people are trying to cheat with ESN/IMEI manipulation. I am not trying to do anything of the sort, all I am trying to do is activate a Sprint version phone of S3, that I paid full price for on ebay, on Verizon network.
Thanks in advance.
David
I want to know that too.I have sprint gs3 but i dont want sprint and waiting to flash it to Virgin Mobile but might flash to Verizon if i can use their 4g.
seeing as how the Sprint version does not have a SIM card slot (it's embedded), and all verizon LTE phones require an LTE SIM card, then no, you can't.

Oh so ever since Verizon got LTE now they got sims?So sprint is the only one that has cdma?
No, pure and simple.
If you use nefarious methods and spoof your ESN, you could get it to connect to VZW's network, but you would only have CDMA, since the LTE radios on Sprint and Verizon use completely different frequencies, and they can't be told to listen elsewhere.
Turn it back around on eBay and get (most) of your money back and put that toward the Verizon one. It's the only way it will work.

No I can't have you, as I'm not interested in a relationship right now. But the moto g for $99 is the verizon model (CDMA) last time I checked. ATT is not compatible.

Verizon and Boost versions are both CDMA and not compatible with AT&T.
I have the Boost version and flashed to Verizon version to use on PagePlus which runs on Verizon Wireless

So the boost version can be unlocked?
I wonder if you can unlock the Verizon version after 6 months
So the boost version can be unlocked?
YES I've unlocked mine without a problem then flashed with Verizon firmware and use on PagePlus. You won't be able to use it with Verizon prepaid or post paid
I wonder if you can unlock the Verizon version after 6 month?
I wouldn't count on it. The only thing you may be able to do after six months is move from prepaid to a post paid plan. Other then being able to change plan type your probably out of luck. There is a bounty offered to find a way to unlock but so far no solution.

So you used Motorola's website which voids the warranty?
Anyone know if the U.S. Cellular version can be unlocked? It is $79.99

YES
I don't know about US cel version
How do you like Page Plus? how does it compare to VZW prepaid? I'm paying $45 per month for 1GB data and unlimited talk & text, coverage is the same as it was with my last CDMA straight talk phone.
Made the mistake of buying two Verizon Moto G's
Sounds like I should have bought one and one boost, or maybe the U.S. cel ver.

[Q] Updating AT&T LG G2 outside USA

I live outside USA and using LG G2 with my local carrier. Is there a way to update the phone, as I am not a registered AT&T customer and I don't have an american phone number?
This works with any D800: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2662445
At least it's kitkat though it will definitely wipe your device.

This should be in the Q and A thread

Updating to MM / 7.0

since for people who are outside of u.s the OTA wont work without an active AT&T sim card ya? unless you wanna get into the irreversible MM poop hole .. I was wondering , is it possible for us to get a AT&T pre-paid sim card and activate international roaming and then get it shipped to us ( by a friend) and then update it OTA? im just a curious cat :#
Sounds like a good idea to me. If it works, I'm up ?
Does it have to be "active?" Can you put in any AT&T SIM? The LG software detects both phones and updates the H961N OK but says the H900 has available updates but to do it on the phone. I have a H900(marshmallow) and a H961N (Nougat). I got the H961N for 3G support in AU with Vodafone as the H900 only EDGE and 4G on said carrier. I would like to update the H900 as other carriers are compatible in AU and I would still like to use it.
You need to be in US
I contacted AT&T after I read this thread. I was told that I don't only need an AT&T Sim card, I also need to have signals from AT&T towers (roaming wouldn't do the job.) So your best bet is to have a friend in US who owns an AT&T Sim card, send him the phone, get him to update it and send it back to you, which is too much of an effort. :crying:
As far as I know, AT&T doesn't have released 7.0 for the H900.

Need to switch stock AT&T f/w over to T-Mobile

I was part of my sisters AT&T family plan and I had recently traded my S8+ in for the AT&T version of the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra SM-N986U. Well sis got fed up with AT&T pricing and wanted to switch. So I was forced into paying off my phone & the 4 of us switched to T-Mobile . Me & my wife have our own plan and no longer part of my sisters. So after unlocking the phone the port went fine but I want to switch my f/w to T-mobiles. Will there be any problem in doing so?

If the phone is unlocked, you should be fine. Both use the same base firmware.
You may or may not get all the T-Mobile features. There is a fix for that if you don't get all the T-Mobile features, but it typically involves wiping/resetting your phone.

No doubt that is what I need to do. I just tried SamMoble stock USA T Mobile f/w with Android 11 using Odin & the phone still see's that it is a AT&T purchased phone at boot.

Did you have the T-Mobile SIM card in it?
If not, it will revert to it's initial build CSC. AT&T in this case.
The other option is to manually change your CSC from ATT to TMB. There are threads here on how to do it.

I guess since its a USA based Snapdragon I cant even root it. Yes I did have the T-Mobile SIM card in it. I have tried 2x with stock T-Mobile fw & it still thinks its AT&T. The working network does show T-Mobile, but I would like to get the AT&T f/w off of it. So I will research how to manually change your CSC.
