Unlock critical is allowed and already known thing but this is for flashing bootloader and stuff. It doesn't help us at all for now.
There are already many rooted tmobile g7 sold in China.
I found a possible root it looks like it will work with any lg g710 Oreo. Is this not the case?

So it's a fake post for one (actually not exactly fake I would say more clickbait then anything) two I believe the T-Mobile version is the G710TM, three we have a gimped fastboot as in it doesn't work at all. And four I think our only option is something to do with LAF

No it's not the case see my previous answer
We should be able to get around this gimped fastboot by incorperating that boot.img from the EM varient into an "update" once the phone is cross flashed. To 710EM it will have "adb update" command (it will also think the update is for itself since the firmware matches what were flashing we can put this into a flashable.zip (im like 75% sure this is how its done). Then use the command "adb update boot /path to patch boot/" alternatively could we incorperate our patched boot.img into a kdz and flash it with a patched LGup? Once the phone is rooted with magisk we could use the twrp app to flash twrp and fastboot commands wont be extremely relevant
The problem is, how to remove or get around the correct oem unlock allowed verification system. Unpacking a .img and editing is not a problem, i am just not exactly sure what to edit.

I'm will definitely get root on every other device but there's two things that stop us.
1) it's impossible to extract anything from a kdz and a .up file (LGs way of updating)
2) dm-verify (but it's possible to get around)

So for dm-verify I know how to manually get around that and the patch thats floating around via flashable.zip. What do we need to extract from the .up or .kdz? Im pretty sure there is a full kdz dump for the 710EM in a thread I read through just last night? I really believe the only obstacle we have is making the bootloader unlock through a command line independent of the official unlock code. This should be able to be acheived by editing that in a way to where it doesnt check much like dm-verity. Then you can flash your (patched by deletion) boot.img run fastboot oem unlock ( btw did you know that "fastboot oem flashing unlock critical works) **could run that then flash an unlock.bin, then fastboot oem unlock unlock.bin** I am working with a 710pm varient. And am speaking from experience rooting the v30 ls version currently using G7 as daily driver
This leaves me thinking that we have lots of wiggle room here (also leaves me thinking how weird LG is for having a lot of variation within G7)

Amazingly this week I was able to extract everything from any kdz file. The problem is that repacking requires certificate and we don't have it.

There is no cross flashing on the G7 (or V35 or V40) unless you want a brick. LG got smart after the V30 WTF exploit and now uses a different RSA cert for every model.
Don't take my word for it, please feel free to try -- make sure you have insurance

Yes but we will figure it out eventually so we can flash the EM firmware and unlock the bootloader then root and install TWRP then AOSP. I am waiting on my octoplus box to arrive then I'll be testing cross flashing for others to sort out what's needed.

any news on this ? would love to change my T-mobile software. and get the fingerprint to work for that matter
i just ordered an lg v20 at&t model, and would like to know how to either update it or convert it to the unbranded version, as I am from the UK. Is it also possible it can be done without root, and by just using the software flashing tool?
thanks

Yeah, grab yourself the modded version of LGUP, download the KDZ (Most likely US996) and flash it. No root involved.
I'm in the same boat as the OP, in the UK.
I broke my International version HD990DS which I've had for a couple of years, and scored a replacement H910 on ebay (£115, sealed in box, 2019 date on battery). I received it this morning.
I wasn't aware when I bought it that it was an AT&T brand (unlocked), on Android 7, and un-updateable OTA here in the UK.
The kdz I'm downloading is 'US99620f_00_1120.kdz' from here: https://www.mylgphones.com/unlocked-lg-v20-us996-received-oreo-update-us99620f.html
Should this be good to go? I'm not aware what bands this enables. The bands EE use here are 1,3,7 & 20.
Is there a 'better' kdz I should be downloading?
TIA.
[edit] further to the above, for any UK EE users, the page here gives EE APN details which will need inputting if your phone isn't going to be a wifi only paperweight. Other operators and phones are listed in the site:
https://apn-uk.gishan.net/en/apn/ee/lg-v20
In this page you'll note EE does not support the H915 for 4G at all.
The H910 isn't listed, but it is supported for 4G by EE.[/edit]

Modded LGUP says : "Error:KDZ file is invalid' H910->US996"
I wish it had been that simple....
Anyone any pointers?

to flash cross model use partition dl mode, select all partitions. iirc
(not applicable to you specifically, but as a reminder to anyone else who reads this)
Remember, never ever flash (T-mobile) H918 firmware on anything but an H918, and if you have an H918 never ever flash another model's firmware. Instant permanent brick.
Thanks for your input. I'll give it a go tonight.
With LGUP does "DUMP" fo a restorable backup?
I've not used LGUP before a couple of days ago. I used to use Odin a lot, but that was years ago (see my forum join date...)
[edit] OK, I've found what I need to know about LGUP here: https://9to5lg.com/lgup-1-15-manual-how-to-unbrick-restore-your-lg-devices-with-lgup/ [/edit]

Did you manage to get oreo on H910? My mother has a H910 stuck in Nougat, but I'd like her to get the oreo update without having to mess with root or anything hard for her to use.
Not yet... I'm waiting until I've had the crap annoyed out of me enough before I invest the few hours time to put everything back on this phone that I want.
As all partitions have to be rewritten then its a case of starting from a totally fresh phone. Which is a chore that I'll do sometime, but not until this week at least is of the way....

Lgup patched linked above using partial download you can load Oreo from us996 or h915. H915 = H910 only Canadian version with respective network software.

I'm using H91520a_00_RGS_CA_OP_0717.kdz
Downloaded from LG-Firmwares here: https://lg-firmwares.com/downloads-file/...
IIRC it was the world's slowest download, reminiscent of using a dial-up modem (well, almost).
The H915 is the canadian version of the US H910, so no worries about hardware incompatibilities
Update in patched LGUP (using 'partitions.dl' option) took about 5 minutes and was painless (one warning screen popped up at start of f/w update process in LGUP saying USB was disconnected, but I ignored this throughout the update and left it showing) .
APN numbers need to be added
I backed up data (phone logs, messages etc) first in LG Mobile Switch app first, saving to SD Card. Which I took out of the phone first before the update 'just in case'.
No more AT&T crap, and Android 8.0.0, which is back to how my last V20 990DS was before I broke it (water damage).
It's a bargain phone for £120 on eBay. Good luck!
I am trying to rebrand my t-mobile OnePlus 7 Pro back to the t-mobile software after changing it to international a few months ago. I have to trade in my phone with t-mobile and have to flash the software. I downloaded all the necessary files, but when I run the MSM tool, I get the "Package image not exist" error. I have tried running it regular and as an admin and still get it. I do still have the OP7Pro international files and the MSM tool from that and tried launching it, but it seems that that one works.
Any ideas?

Idk if you guys figured this out yet, but I came across this myself, messing with my old Tmobile Based OnePlus 7 Pro, with the whole "package image not exist", The Msm tool has to be in the same folder as the guacamole zip, and the L2 drivers, and using something like Winrar/7zip you gotta extract them from the .rar and .7z. then run the Msm tool again. Hope this helps.

If you are still needing some help with this, I can try to dump my firmware and put it together for flashing in fastboot.
@EVOuser94 @phillipmckinnish @Roccothepro
This is also for all other T-Mobile users who want to convert back to TMO firmware.
I uploaded Android 11.0.1.2 firmware images to a new ROM thread. To convert back to TMO firmware without using the MSM tool you can follow the instructions in the thread.
Since you are converting from International or another non TMO ROM, you will be required to wipe your data.
T-Mobile OnePlus 7 Pro OOS 11.0.1.2 Stock Firmware (Root Optional)
the boot.img file was loaded into my phone in order to get root after that it could not detect imei numbers. Although they are in fastboot. I tried many different firmwares for this phone, but there is no result! I ask for your help. I was left without communication (sorry for not being very clear. I don't understand Russian and don't understand English at all, that's why I'm writing through a translator
The first thing you want to do is STOP FLASHING random images. It sounds like you are going to cause more harm than good if you keep going.
Figure out which firmware you started on (WW, EU, CN) and get the raw firmware for it. Follow the instructions to flash the raw firmware.
If that doesn't work, then you may need to contact the manufacturer, BUT at least you will be restored to stock. I cannot promise they will help you, but it sounds like you did more than flash a boot image. The IMEI is not stored there.

Tell me where you can find the pure CN firmware? This phone was presented to me in this form already. And they told what happened to him. I doubt that ASUS support will help me, since in addition to everything according to the owner, the EMMCCDL_GUI utility was used. So I ask for help from knowledgeable people here.
And most importantly, what to flash and how?

It was opened. This is not an option either
If you purchased it used and the seller refused a return, it sounds like they were trying to recover what they could by selling their problem to someone else. It's likely they knew there wasn't a self-service fix right now.
Just to be clear, what you need is a low-level EDL restore. As it stands, one of the files required is not available to the public. If you have a local repair shop, they may be able to do it (and will likely charge a fee).
Do NOT pay someone over the internet. It CANNOT be done remotely.
I've been trying to flash my G900 (AT&T version), So far I've tried LGUP, LGUP Dev and The official LG flashing tool, My main goal here is to at least remove AT&T from the device as it's throwing me errors when I try to update from Android 10 to Android 11. Any suggestions? I've searched around and there doesn't seem to be much about thus specific device.

I understand what they say about bootloader unlocking. It is true the majority, the vast majority do not need it. But this AT&T device has made my life impossible to do so. I also can't find a way to unlock bootloader.
Please, someone who can give me a good tip, of what I have to do. On the other hand, can someone explain to me how to extract the KDZ from my own phone. I'm not talking about downloading a KDZ but about making a backup of the device itself. As you know, the bootloader is not unlocked and I would need a tool that allows it without having to root it.
