I have an LG V10. And as expected by now, I got the bootloop issue after 13 month with the phone. Unfortunately I bough the phone from the UAE. Meaning, I got the H960A version.
I moved recently to the US, and freaking LG USA does not want to even take a look at the phone. They told me to ship it back to the UAE for repairs!! So I went ahead and stripped down the phone. Only to find that some components on the board seems to heat up significantly when the phone is powered up
I cant find a broken H960A here in the USA. That brings me to my question, can I replace the board on a H960A with lets say a H900 or H901?
Please help, I'm stuck with a useless brick. Don't even know if I will be able to sell it for parts.

I have just spoken to customer services at LG UK asking for an update on the availability of the V10 here. What I was told amazed me. It seems that despite showing the V10 H960 on the website , the phone will definitely NOT be marketed here. The agent believes it only appears on there for "support" reasons. I told him that to me this was ridiculous, but he was adamant and said that he had only been given the news himself this morning!! He also said that if I bought one from elsewhere in Europe, it wouldn't be covered by their warranty as they couldn't be sure of obtaining any parts required. I find that equally disturbing.
I guess I'll have to wait for the G5 or risk a grey import.
so where can we get the greymarket version ie H960 ?
Spoke to two different people at LG Support UK team...both pretty much said same thing that the V10 not coming to UK, both said it was never confirmed for entry into UK market either! Display on Lg UK website is just for show
And also if buying any imported version, they wont provide any warranty for it... Disappointing move....Like Samsung did with Note 5. But think H960 variant can be imported/bought from czech rep/turkey/uae
This is a bad move by LG “ this phone would have smashed it here in the uk “ feels good to be in an exclusive club of LG V10 owners tho
I gave up hope, now that they will announce the G5 for release in April probably. I'll just wait for Samsung S7 or G5 now. My LG G3 is fine, I just wanted a finger print scanner.

The LG team seems more confused than the rest of us
Hi everyone !
I'm new here, but i always read topics about everything and i know that u guys maybe can help me.
So let's go.
I bought my Lg g5 about 5 months ago, and after 1 months with, i dropped my cell in floor, results ? broken glass, but touch and screen still working. After one week, i dropped cell into the watter (pool), quickly jump out of the pool and get out battery, after one day in rice i turn it on and touch screen doesn't working , i thought the problem is in display, so i bought the national model display (from Brazil H840) and replace it (but i'm from Brazil, and my model of Lg g5 is H860, from hong kong) and touch still not working. Some guys tell me if i bought the exact model(H860), my touch will work. So, i did that, i'm just waiting package arrive and test. Remember: Deoxidation already done by technician. I wanna know from you if this advice proceeds, because they tell me about that flat of differents model and there is a chance to exist a incompatibility, and there is my focus of the all problem, excluiding board problem.

The H840 is a completely different phone also known as the LG G5 SE (different hardware) this is why the screen cannot work with your model.
Any screen for the LG G5 (H850 H830 etc) should work for any carrier or international version of the phone.
If the screen and digitiser don't work with this version then you could have a more serious hardware problem.

Hi again ! my new screen has arrived ! and guess what ? Touch screen still NOT working =/. Can someone know about JUMPER SOLUTION ?? Please help me.
Hey guys, i had this LS993 G6 Sprint unrooted and sim card locked for about a year. Months ago a few fellas here on XDA thrown away the idea that you could flash unlocked Canadian variant LG H873 firmware and you were going to be sim unlocked, Sprint debloated and maybe rootable. And it was a royal success:good::good:
I've just got this LG G5 Sprint LS992 from eBay for a buddy's birthday gift and i was thinking if can i do the very same process. With let's say flashing H831 (Canadian unlocked variant firmware) to achieve SIM unlock, Sprint debloat and probably root.
I've seen this very same conversion has been done with newer Sprint models like V30+ and a couple others so fingers crossed it can work. Please let me know if anyone has tried it.
****, i just realized the tittle of the thread says "converted" but i had in mine "can it be converted"... My apologize if anyone comes thinking i've already done it. It's a gift for a buddy so i would prefer not to risk bricking it.
Maybe someone has an already cracked or old one that can be risked.
Hello there!
I just wanted to tell you an interesting information about a successful operation for my lg g6.
So few month ago I purchased a cheap lg g6 from a store here in France for my father.
Therefore it was an AT&T model (h872 or 871 or 873), many band where missing and I hated the fact that it is still locked, no rom, no root... all of what we don't like from an android phone.
So I had the idea to swap the motherboard with another model!
As those are cheap in aliexpr... it costed about 40€ for me to get an h870 motherboard, I even had the opportunity to buy the h870ds quad dac and h870dsu (g6+ 128gb rom) for 60-80€, therefore as those are poor in dev section regarding rom, I prefered to go with a traditionnal h870 european version.
Obviously, I've done A LOT of repair, that's why I figured out the compatibility between motherboard, here are the reason:
---------------------
-No different LCD like LG g2 (flashback about LCD only compatible with specific motherboard, different connector etc etc...)
That mean that the main screen is all board compatible
-Same frame for all model (when you search for LG g6 Frame, you don't have any distinction between model , else it'll be : Frame for LG G6 h873/870/... specified)
it mean that every part are in the same place: battery, speaker, type C connector etc etc....
-No difference in physical layout between different motherboard (by comparing visual shot).
The only difference is in the kind of shell that cover the cpu and gpu, which depend on the manufacturing date.
And the Wireless charging/NFC pin. either 4 pin for both, 2 for nfc only, 0 for none of those option. (doesn't matter for making the phone work, it's just an extra that detect if the nfc/wireless sticker is here)
----------------------
It's confirmed to work from any h87x to h870 mainboard replacement.
And i'm 99% sure it'll work with an h870ds, And even h870DSU (therefore, poor XDA dev thread on those model).
using the same material for all board is cost effective for LG, So I can say that, if you really want to move on to a another hardware version, take 40 bucks and a screwdriver!
...Well, I know that modding a software seems easier, but be confident, follow instruction, be gentle with part, don't put any kind of force... repairing is easy, so it is to replace a motherboard.
While you're into it, put thermal past in the cpu to improve thermal temp. And don't forget to remove the simtray
thx
This is a very cool idea. Has anyone actually tried updating a G6 to a G6+ this way? I'd be curious to hear your experience.
Hi,
Anyone knows where to buy a new LG V60 preferably in Europe but would consider buying it from outside Europe...?
I don't blame you looking for a V60, because that is a great phone! Unfortunately, since that phone has been out for over 2 years, it's going to be very difficult to impossible to find a new one. I think the best you will be able to hope for is finding a used or possibly a refurbished one. The good news. You can probably find them pretty cheap. The bad news is they are no longer supported by LG, and they are not rootable because of the snapdragon processor.
Some of the things that you mentioned about LG V60 is just not correct. So let me mention the facts:
!. You can get a brand new LG V60 phone. Try Ebay or Facebook marketplace etc.
2. The V60 phone is totally rootable. Many people here (including me) have a fully rooted V60!
Please don't misinform others! It is better not to participate in a discussion rather than dispersing wrong information and freaking others out!!!!!
