Hello! I have an T-mobile version of LG v60. It is permanently unlocked and it has the V600TM20n update. I tried researching on internet about the LG V60 variant, and I couldn't find much information.
Can somebody tell me:
If it is possible to prevent the updates from applying during midnight?
If Android 11 version is still 'root-able'?
If not, is still possible to revert to an older version of Android without losing carrier unlocked status?
My main concern is that these updates will disable my ability to root the phone. Thanks.

Yes,youcan turn off auto updates in settings.Yes,A11 is still rootable.And,yes you should be able to downgrade and you won't lose carrier unlock.

Turning off auto updates and settings does nothing to actually prevent the phone from updating on its own.
Some of us tried preventing Android 10 to 11 but it didn't work. Is anything different for Android 11 to Android 12? If you did get it to stop can you detail what you did? It would be quite helpful.
If you are rooted and unlocked, your phone will not update. It will "error" out everytime.
You will continue to get the nag screens, but the phone won't update. That's been my phone's behavior.

Hey guys,
I have the SAMSUNG-SM-N915A model number and the stock version Build number LMY47X.N915AUCS2C017 Baseband version on my phone. It works like a charm after spending days trying other stock build version I found online that had so many problems restarting the phone over and over. AT&T is trying to force a software update to 6.0 on my phone which simply wont work as the regular software update bricks my phone for some reason. Is there a setting I'm missing the just tells the phone not to accept any software updates from AT&T? I'm almost positive this update will screw weeks of tinkering and I finally got it working with 5.1.1. I want it to stay this way. Any ideas?
Thanks

Go to settings/security.
You'll find the update settings in there IIRC.
closest thing I see too that is "security policy updates option which is already check off for automatic updates. It seems to be the Device management that's always trying to download the software update and force update. Is this a hidden stock application?

Sorry I took so long getting back.
It's been a while since my 5.1.1 days.
Check in the section that says about device.
You should find your updates on/off listed in there.
You might want to turn off the cloud sync'ing settings as well.
I have a regular Sprint S7 (SM-G930P). I just updated to nrd90m.g930pvpu6brd2 and I want to go back to the previous version. Is it possible to do without rooting? Is there a way to root without losing all the data on my phone? I would like to use the version just before the March 2017 security update.
Thank You
You cannot flash lower firmware even with root because your bootloader has been updated, cannot downgrade anymore
Even though they are both 7.0 roms? Has the bootloader been unlocked yet?
Bootloader remains locked for all snapdragon models. You should be able to side step in version, but not go back. Even though it's all still android 7.0, bootloader versions continue to update, so there's several for 7.0.
I figured that. I would like to remove the security patch that messed with mock locations. Thank you
My note 8 had OneUI pushed to it about a week ago even though I kept refusing not wanting to while I was sleeping. It says my bootloader is v5. This is actually what it says (N950USQU5DSD3). My problem is that when I search for the firmware I'm wanting to downgrade to (the last oreo update possible for this particular phone) on Sammobile I can't find the one for At&t. I see ones for Verizon, sprint, etc. But nothing for at&t, which one am I supposed to use and where can I get it? This is going to be my very first downgrade/upgrade, really my first time doing anything like it on android. And I CAN do this right? There's nothing I should be aware of that makes what I'm trying to do not able to be done is there? The biggest reason I'm asking is because I have very limited tools to work with, I have a little 12" Acer aspire one (no disk drive) running windows 7 home basic, mobile hotspot from my wife's phone(the last software I tried to download and use came from xda out of a thread I found titled, "Stock Oreo N950USQS5CRF6 Odin*files*for AT&T*NOTE*8" it failed halfway through 2 nights ago during the beginning of storm, and the whole time it would only download around 32kbs so it literally to FOREVER! Only for it to fail halfway through. Was I wasting my time or was this in fact the firmware I'm looking for? If not, as I asked before, where could I find it?? Thanks a bunch for any help.

^^^^^^^Is this all I need? Do I need to follow this tutorial or a different one?? What version of odin, do I need anything else
Sorry for so much all at once, I really hate this update and want Oreo back.

Follow the steps from the above-linked post, and follow them very carefully. I did, and I was able to successfully downgrade from Pie to Oreo on my AT&T NOTE8.
I actually flashed the unlocked firmware, which has zero AT&T bloat. It works just fine for my needs. I don't think AT&T WiFi calling works on this unlocked firmware (I haven't tried - I don't use it).
Caveat emptor: whichever version of Oreo you choose (either the AT&T stock, or the unlocked firmware), we are stuck on the February 2019 Android security patch.
Only Pie gets the latest security patches. As long as you are ok with this, then proceed with the downgrade to Oreo!

A little off topic, but has anyone seen an AT&T security update for May yet? I'm still on April security, and it's basically mid June?
Tha k you I'll check it out when I get off work, I didn't know you could flash the unlocked firmware on a carrier locked phone
Let me get this straight. Can a locked bootloader AT&T SM-N9500U on Android 9, N9500USQU5DSD3 downgrade to Oreo? I thought this bootloader whould not let you go back.
I LOATH Pie and wan to go back to Oreo so bad, please tell me there is a for sure way. This is my first permanently locked bootloader phone and it's killing me not to flash an software I prefer.
I dont know I wish someone could tell me forsure whether it will work or not because now my phone is getting another software update notification so it's getting ready to force another update on me and I doubt after that I will still have bootloader v5. Can someone please verify whether my current bootloader (N9500USQU5DSD3) will downgrade successfully to back to oreo or not? I have the oreo firmware I want to use downloaded and ready to go which is (SM-N950USQU5CRL1). Can I downgrade to this without messing anything up?? Please I need a fast reply I dont want this new update forced to my phone and updating my bootloader to v5 where I can ever go back to oreo.

Yes you CAN downgrade back to Oreo. BUT you MUST go to a bootloader 5 firmware.

Yes you can go to that firmware. You will want to back up and allow it to factory reset. Be sure to use the modified version of Odin. Go HERE, post #2
Hi, except for security patches, what would be the reasons to upgrade to 10.3.3 from 9.0.9?
Not experiencing any issues.
I'm not sure I want to go through the hassle of upgrading.
I'm rooted with unlocked bootloader, running magisk.
Thanks! / Jonis

Dark mode, better gesture navigation, randomized MAC, improved location permissions. There's not much hassle in upgrading, too. You can just download the zip, local upgrade, and it would install in the background. If you want root, you can just re-root after updating since your bootloader will stay unlocked. Besides, we would surely get Android 11 by next year, and I don't think you'd want to be left behind by 2 updates when that comes.
Thanks. ?
Hey all,
I bought a new OnePlus 8 5g T-mobile phone for my wife. She's on the RedPocket annual GMSA/ATT plan. I've stopped the auto OO11 update and I've gone into *#*#4636#*#* and selected "LTE Only" for the connection type (like I did with my old OP6) but it doesn't stick after a reboot.
My real question is:
Since 4G LTE seems to work properly with the T-Mobile stock OS, what are the reasons for converting over to the international version?
Will 4G still work after I update it to OO11.x? I don't mind it having the T-Mobile boot or bloat. I have mostly disabled/uninstalled the apps she doesn't need.
Thanks!!!
The Global version of the ROM can still get OTA updates, and gets them MUCH faster. For example always on display hit global firmware, than hit T-Mobile firmware like 7 months later. Same with Android 11, hitting T-Mobile devices a few months later than global.
T-Mobile also has bloatware that is NON-disable-able, even with adb commands. Unless your rooted, your stuck with it. And some of the package names are cleverly named so you wouldn't assume its anything bad.
You might not care about T-Mobile bloatware, but also remember it has spyware, and even if you don't really "care" about it, every time T-Mobile collects more of your data and pings it back to their servers, thats taking up recources/data on your phone, and by consequence, battery life suffers.
And T-Mobile devices collect A LOT of data, even if your not using them as your mobile provider.
Am I making it sound worse than it is? Probably. Doesn't mean everything I said isn't valid. But yes if you decide to convert to global data will work just fine.

@FoxyDrew Thank you for the explanation.
Just wondering about this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...nternational-with-bootloader-re-lock.4345305/
Do you follow the 1st part, followed by the last update? Is this the best way to install the global version?
Thanks again!!

np man, that guide is very complicated for no reason, converting to global is rather simple, but it's a 3 step process. This all assumes you can unlock your bootloader though.
1.) MSM back to stock T-Mobile Android 10 firmware. Specifically this one. This will re-lock your BL if its unlocked.
2.) Let that boot up, go into settings to enable OEM unlocking, and then unlock the bootloader.
3.) Once the bootloader is unlocked, flash THIS global Android 10 ROM via fastboot. There's a flash-all.bat file to make it simple. Once you've finished this step your essentially done, and on global firmware, you just need to...
4.) Boot the phone up and take the OTA update in settings to Android 11. There will be 2 OTAs to take, one FULL OTA to Android 11, than an incremental one to the latest Android 11 build
Optionally afterwards you can re-lock your bootloader, or keep it unlocked and root if that's what you/she wants.
If you're not familiar with MSM tool, and the drivers it needs, check out this thread.
