LG v50 Sprint v450pm can not update OTA or flash stock rom - LG V50 ThinQ Questions & Answers

I have a problem with my phone that I cant be updated. I found many times on internet about its rom, on lg fanclub but there's no kdz file for v450pm. Can you guys help me with this problem??? I went to setting and it show software version v450p10n although my friend also have a LG v50 v450pm like me but his phone show v450p20h and android 10. Can u guys show me the tip?? Lots of thank!!
here is kdz file for v450pm: Firmware LG V50 ThinQ 5G LMV450PM for your region - LG-Firmwares.com (lg-firmwares.com) there's nothing
and here is kdz file for v450vm: Firmware LG V50 ThinQ 5G LMV450VM for your region - LG-Firmwares.com (lg-firmwares.com) there are 3 files kdz!!!

Sprint(v450pm) phones don't usually have their kdz published. So you can't update or downgrade using that method. I also have the phone and I got OTa to 20h in December. Have you modified the phone in any way? Root, uninstalled system apps, etc? You can try clearing data of "FOTA update", all 3 "software update" and "update center" , restart the phone and try searching for new software again. If it dose not work, you may have to try a factory reset of the phone.

I got the exact same model as yours,but sim unlocked,open box never used,about 10 days ago.
Because i use it in Europe,i was really worried if it was going to get any further updates beyond android 9 with which it came from the seller i bought it.
After a lot of searching here and there before buying it,most people,and the seller included,where assuring me that it would get android 10 and every OTA updates in future,because Sprint roms are not completely locked like AT&T for example.
Everyone said that i would get the updates as it should,but i could not flash any rom because Sprint never publish it's roms.
Someone suggested me not to install my carrier's sim card when i power on tge phone,and let it just connect via wifi,saying that this way is more safe to get updates.
The reason why should i do that,he explained me,is because sometimes our carriers implement their set up or something like this,in our device,through the carriers settings app,and with that way we couldn't get updates.
Long story short,when i got the phone,i just powered it on,without inserting my sim card,and right after the set up,i got the first update notification,which was upgrade to android 10.
After this first update,i continiously took 3 more updates,one after the other in an hour,with my final update to be v20h December 2020.
So my opinion is if you don't mind,try and factory reset your phone,backing up first,in case something goes wrong,and set it up again from scratch,without your sim card..just give it it's time to connect to LG servers.
I hope it helps.

thank you. i bought another phone, k20 pro. it's ez for me to flash, up anyrom i want. really love this. i hate lg from now

I wanted a custom rom until none of them supports the quad dac, even if i get a next device I'll still keep the v50 as a dedicated music device with a 512 SD card. I'm on sprit version and it updated to v450p20j yesterday, fingers crossed for 11 but LGs history for updates is a gamble.

[Q] Your phone is up to date (7004) - New Phone does not update

I just replaced my LG Optimus 7 for a new one, after it died. Unfortunately I now do not receive any updates and can't really figure out why.
I looked through xdadevelopers and other boards already but could not find any help.
My problem: Zune searches for updates but ends in telling me that my phone is up to date 7.0 (7004). On my old phone I received all updates as I should have received them... But not on the new one.
What I already tried without any success:
- Tried the update on two different machines with latest Zune
- Tried it already for half a week to see if it just takes a while
- Rest the phone to defaults
- Also tried the trick to disconnect the PC from the network that worked for the Mango update. Also not successful
Phone: LG Optimus 7
FW: 7.0 (7004)
Carrierbranding: OPN
Carrier used: Swisscom, in Switzerland
I am really grateful for any kind of advice! Thanks so much!
Maybe your carrier hasnt provided updates after 7004 update

I am using an unbranded phone now (OPN). The one before was Swisscom-branded and I got all updates.
I suggest you flash your phone with a different ROM.

Guys, I purchased an unlocked AT&T LG V10. It's currently running h90020j. I haven't received any ota updates yet.
My concern is that if I flash the new software version, will my phone get locked again? I use Etisalat SIM card in it.
i want to update my Unlocked AT&T LG V10 to the latest update H90021W. i tried using lg bridge but it prompts me to update from the update center from the phone itself. when i try to update from the phone, it shows "Device is up to date".
my question is that if i update via flashing the firmware file, will my device be relocked by AT&T? i live outside USA and Etisalat as my carrier. i have already downloaded the .kdz file for v21w software. i worried whether the device will get relocked by AT&T. help me out guys.
also i am getting a pretty poor battery out of my V10. wondering whether the new update would give me a better battery life.

I have updated to H90021W months ago it went smooth and error free. all my data was kept in tact and I have face 0 issues since then. I hope they find a way to get the kdz file for the future updates. Also no it shouldn't relock the device mine was unlocked when it updated and stayed unlocked.

On mine: Anti-rollback Version= APPSBL(LK) : 0, SBL1 : 0, TZ : 0, RPM: 0
Not sure what that means...
What's the consensus ? Go or No-go?
Any one care to share their experience? How is it? Everything working? Anything broken(other than the Volte that was mentioned earlier)? Any quirks? Upgrades*(better battery life, more fluid performance, etc) ?
I got a notification the other day for the update too on my US996, but I didn't want to mess up a "good thing", haha... or more over, my V20 is running relatively fine on android 7 for now, thought I'd wait and see feedback before I touch the waters...thanks to those brave pioneers out there who fearlessly try out the latest and greatest updates.
Never rooted it.. and kept to stock firmware.
Everything is working so far on Verizon - once I got VoLTE back (see above - and that would be a deal breaker for me - I was prepping to roll it back). For now - I'd say it's a go.. but I'm also already committed.
My advice - you waited this long.. give it another week or two...
My battery is still settling in for Oreo. Once it settles that I should get more battery Screen on Time.
Overall, its an amazing experience.
Chipster0 and YPG70, thanks for the feedback. I suppose I'll wait a little longer before I upgrade, good to hear that everything seems to be positive; a real upgrade, rather than an "upgrade" that messes things up.
Anyone have any ideas why my unlocked US996 isn't getting an update notification? I'm on AT&T network (if that matters). In fact I'm running 99610d. Security patch of Oct. 1 2016. I thought there was a security update more current than that.
I did try LG bridge before Jan 2019 and it didn't report any new security updates. I'm yet to try LG Bridge now that it seems oreo is finally being rolled out on US 996. I was trying to avoid LG Bridge because I want to avoid losing all my settings (which I believe will happen when you go the LG Bridge route).
Thanks
EDIT: I just ran LG Bridge, and it reports back with "your phone is up to date". When I click OK, and the "your phone is up to date" window disappears, I am then presented with what looks like there is indeed a "new version" dating 12.11.2017. However, it states that I must go to the Update Center settings on my phone to do the update. But when I do that, my phone says I'm on the latest...
Ended up online chatting with LG support. Spoke with two of them who were adamant that LG doesn't push OTA firmware's and that it must be through the carrier (despite my phone being the unlocked version). They also said LG Bridge is for Android 6.0 and lower (despite LG bridge being the software specified at the v20 US 996 website). Anyway, with ridiculous statements like that, I knew I wasn't going to get any help from them. I ended up downloading the firmware from the link (thanks!) and using uppercut to flash the downloaded. So I'm happy to report that I am now running Oreo and haven't encountered any issues so far.
Can this be safely installed on US996 UCL?
US99610n current version

how do i update/ convert my v20???

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"

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 can't update OTA my LG V50 V450PM

I have a problem with my phone that I cant be updated. I found many times on internet about its rom, on lg fanclub but there's no kdz file for v450pm. Can you guys help me with this problem??? I went to setting and it show software version v450p10n although my friend also have a LG v50 v450pm like me but his phone show v450p20h and android 10. Can u guys show me the tip?? Lots of thank!!
wow, lots of help you got there.....
I TOO WOULD APPRECIATE ANY FEEDBACK!
I am literally days away from buying one of these new (V450PM), because I'm done waiting for the NAO kdz(android10) for the V35. Apparently, regardless of all the BS press releases and "schedule leaks" and ChazzMatt imploring us to be patient, THERE IS NO WAY TO UPGRADE MY V35 WITHOUT KOREANIZING IT!!!
If I buy one of these (V50, new, unlocked), am I going to be able to get Android 10 on it, or just continue pretending to wait for a kdz that's never going to happen???
Thank you in advance for ANY light yall can shine on this...

I have been on the same boat with my unlocked V35 which i use in Europe,and having no more hopes for it to get NAO android 10 so i can flash it,i decided to move on with an unlocked V50 450PM.
So as a responce to the OP,cause it is a double post,you can have a look to the following link,where i have given some answers about your enquiry.

i am in the same boat, can't ota update.
this was a replacement from asurion. LG Bridge doesn't even recognize it is connected despite windows & adb showing it. Only get a blip of something from LG Bridge when i boot the device up into download mode.
