I have a LG Optimus P500 from T-mobile which is unlocked to all GSM sims. It runs Fryo 2.2 and I would like to upgrade to Gingerbread 2.3.x. Is it possible to do that? Would that lock or brick the phone? Is there any way that I could install gingerbread 2.3.x since I don't also see T-mobile official gingerbread release anywhere for P500.
Is KDZ an option or should I stick with Fryo?

T-mobile has not released an official update for next version of android popularly known as gingerbread. KDZ is a gingerbread update for lg and it is a firmware update utility specifically meant for lg phones.

I know that I can update using KDZ but I have a unlocked phone and just skeptical if it would get it locked and also the chances of getting it bricked are more since it is a unlocked phone. Just trying out to know if someone had used KDZ on an unlocked T-mobile P500 phone.
u guy can help me up rom 2.3 for lg ku 3700 korea version.thanks so much

Seems like we both are trying to get a response but let us see....
I have the same exact phone from Walmart on T-Mobile. I tried to use kdz and bricked my last phone. Luckily walmarts people sent me a brand new one when I told them it bbricked while I was talking on it. SO being very careful I rooted and flashed clockwork mod, made a backup and then flashed cm7 nightly 34 which has been working amazing for weeks now, just had to use funny sim fix for the data to work.

Thanks for the update and info. Now I know using KDZ would brick the phone. I also bought it through Walmart but I would be here in Bangalore for sometime and I have unlocked the phone. As you have mentioned I would like to root and flash clockworkmod but since I have unlocked it I doubt it would work or if I try it would lock again.
Can you post a download link for cm 7 most recent

There is a thread somewhere with the official LG GB roms.
I loaded the rom for Taiwan with KDZ on my unlocked P509T.
csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP500/ATWNBK/V20d_00/V20D_00.kdz
It has indonesian, german, english, spanish, french, italian, malay, portuguese, viet, turkish, arabic, korean, chinese in the language & keyboard menu.
It is unbranded and has little bloatware. And the phone now ids itself as a P500.
Rooted with the lge_adb.conf trick and superoneclick
EDGE & HSDPA connect fine - at least for TMO MyAccount - out here
in Los Angeles.
The most important function lost was WiFi calling, otherwise it seems to work ok.
You can always flash back it to the official froyo if it doesn't work out.
All you have to do is do a search about rooting and flashing recovery then flashing ROM's its all here just search for it. And if you can't find what you need Google still is a working reliable search engine.

hello, I am asking for, because I see a lot of people saying about diferent firmwares for each devices (AT&T, TMB, VZW, SPR) and the model is the same for all(G955U), I found in AFH an stock firmware but it says TMB, and I don't want to brick my device lol.
Can anyone share a firmware to our S8+ from Sprint???
If is possible, I am looking for QD9 version.
Thanks
without unlocked bootloader, you cannot flash anything. 955U has no unlock solution yet.
You can't Flash... but you can Odin stock firmware... anyone have Sprint stock firmware ?

I have noticed the baseband firmware is the same and there is a "user" firmware file that is strictly associated with the carrier. I have recognized this with Verizon and Sprint. ODDLY.. I have only seen these carrier firmware files included with the initial firmware release of the phone..
So Verizon launched its GS8 plus with one firmware release in advance of Sprints release of the phone.
So the two firmware files are NOT compatible given you are unable to downgrade and completely unprovission your phone.
Now .. I think the theory is that if you own a Verizon handset that has never received an update you can provision to Sprint .. granted you have the complete initial firmware set for Sprint.
Hello. I've set up this topic to make it easier for people like me (new in contact with LG phones). Please, write a quick guide on how to update the software along with the links to the software. Personally, I have a H390 EU phone. I would like to install clean software in it without the operator's brand. Thank you for help!
Also if there are any ways to flash other versions on your branded phone. Like Korean to EU version or if it's even possible.
I know dirty Santa did this before but can it be done for v30?

IF you have a custom made LGUP file -- one made for the LG V30, it should be possible. They did it with LG G5 and LG V20, flashed firmware for other variants.
I have new kdz for EU. It is possible to flash new firmware for our V30 or for now it is not possible?
Guys I have T-MO Note 8 SM-N950U. Software Ver XAA/XAA/TMB.
I am currently on Nougat 7.1.1 N950USQU1AQH7/N950UOYN1AQH7. I haven't got any Oreo update still. No update from OTA or Samsung switch. I asked with Samsung Support and they say they have released Oreo update for all US phones. And T-MO support is saying Samsung will provide update since it is unlocked one. Guys please give me some help/directions on how I can go to Oreo on my Note 8. Thanks. :crying:
Samsung support responds pretty quickly if you contact them via Twitter or the Samsung+ app.

You have a SM-N950U1 right? Mine is SM-N950U. So does this mean my Phone is not getting the update due to not being on T-Mobile Carrier. If so Any way I can Manually update to Oreo, I searched around and could not find a XAA SM-N950U firmware. There is one for the SM-N950U1 though. Samsung Support says to wait for an update. But they are not certain to which date. Its been so long now.

**** yes, not sure why I thought you had the unlocked version. Tmobile page shows that Oreo was released for their Note 8.
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-37051
I would just flash the Unlocked Note 8 version there is a thread here just follow the instructions from this thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/guide-sm-n950u-u1-t3685884
Especially if you are using it on another network. All the US Note 8 are the same hardware wise just flashed with different software. You can get the firmware from here.

I was wondering if there's a way to flash the tmobile firmware to an unlocked att v60? Also, can the att v60 connect to all of the same 5G Bands as the tmobile version? Thanks in advance?

Without root exploit and twrp there's no way to cross flash firmwares.

NO
The tmobile variant of the lg v series phones always have different encryption keys than all the other phones. You should never attempt to put the tmobile firmware on a non tmobile variant or vice versa.
Furthermore crossflashing does not work with LG Up. Tried to flash mine LMV600EA Taiwanese version with LMV600EA EU fw and no go. Someone said that there is a hardware lock preventing crossflashing but statment does not present any facts or explanasion.

The phones from other regions may also have different encryption keys. Regardless the cross flashing for the v30, v35, and v40 were mostly the result of patched lg-up that allowed the crossflashing.
The main board may be made by andifferent manufacturer like the usa galaxy phones with snap dragons and European galaxy phones with enxoyos processors. How every you spell it.

Even with uppercut? Is that still a thing like the v20 days?
I see there are some comments that it is able to convert LG V60 Tmobile to Open Canada since they are same code V600TM.
1. Is there anyone tried?
2. How about the US Cellular firmware when compare with the Open Canada?
I think both of them are open firmware like global (without carrier apps). Is it correct?
Lol take a look around. There's no way to do anything to this phone

Do you have IMPL lock ??
No... sorry....
Crossflashing does work on certain V600EA versions (Mainly on Europe variants) and on the V600N Pre production models, the US Versions all have IMPL Locks
