Can I flash LG G6 t-mobile to AT&T without root? Got the phone for free.. That's why and I am on AT&T
no.
you would need root.. but if you flash any non-tmo bootloader/modem stuff onto the tmo version it will brick the phone.
tmobile g6 bootstack is different than all other G6 devices. and if you flash tmo boostack onto a non-tmo g6 it'll brick the phone.
all of the other non-tmobile G6 variants have a similar bootstack and could technically be shared as long as the anti-rollback fuse settings matched.
There goes my dream for visual voicemail for AT&T on t-mobile phone
Is the phone unlocked to work with an AT&T SIM? if so, just download the att VVM app in the play store. Did that on my unlocked dual SIM phone.
In G5 we can flash G5 puer rico H820pr on to G5 ATT H820. So G6 we can do the same?

Hello fellas, I have the LG V20 AT&T phone and I want to be able to use the sim of any network carrier of my choosing and I’ve been told that it's next to impossible to unlock AT&T phones unless you have the stock locked Rom and if I will flash unlocked Rom the phone will be sim free. Would that be correct If that is correct, my question is: Does anyone have unlocked Rom from this phone? At this moment when I insert different carrier sim the phone ask for 8 digit sim network unlock put code. any guide for it or someone with the knowledge to do it or someone pointing towards the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

From my understanding, and at least on Tmobile, you have to ask the carrier for the sim unlock code. Your phone has to be paid off if you bought the phone through the carrier. This is independent of the rom used. Check this out: https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/#/

Since you are being prompted for a actual unlock code.you do infact have at&t and NOT t mobile device with their garbage unlock app and process.simply look for a unlock code for a "lg v20 h910" or "lg v20 at&t unlock "on ebay.all the other cell unlock sites are a rip off. Codes are pretty cheap like 2 bux or so.now if you had a t mobile device you would have had to jump through a lot of hoops to get it unlocked.luckily you dont.

it should ask for code automatically after rebooting with different carrier sim, if not - then you should use network unlock app for connecting to server and entering code
what is the difference between lg v20 sim unlock code and network unlock code? as I understand sim unlock code is 4 digit and network unlock code is 8 digit, correct?

Unlock code lg v20
Can you please share the site. I am trying to unlock my LG V20 and need help please.
Thanks

To unlock an LG V20 (lgv20) on AT&T (att) without another network sim:
Dial *#06# on your device to find your IMEI
Get your unlock pin from att.com/deviceunlock
Dial or paste: 2945#*910#
A menu will popup. Choose network lock. Enter the unlock code AT&T gave you.
The phone will restart and be unlocked.
So I got to the unlock screen by entering:
2945#*910#
The 910 is the model number. My phone's Settings > System > About > Hardware Info lists my phone as an LG-H910
So if you're on another network, chances are you could use your model number to get through.
I've bought a used LG g6 H873 that's stuck on nougut.
this g6 is supposed to be a Canadian version so i was thinking what firmware i download as my phone is bloat free with no randon apps but just lg.
all firmware i find were named as rogers, etc so i tried lg software but that didn't recognize my phone.
than i tried to search with IMEI and it came as an sprint variant. now have tried multiple site's with IMEI and all says i have ls sprint variant... confused and worried what will happen if i go and flash h873 Canadian Oreo, because there's no ls sprint firmware to be found anywhere to roll back.
Use LG Up find the version you need should work for you.

as I've already said, "i have tried lg software" it didn't recognized my phone.
Then possibly it is the drivers you have installed need to be changed. Try changing those.

Your phone probably had a blacklisted IMEI, and so the person your bought it from took the IMEI from a Sprint G6 and slapped it on.
LG Update uses the IMEI along with various other information to determine what version it should apply. Since it doesn't recognize your phone, that makes sense, as there will be mismatches.
Even if it was a Sprint phone, you are safe flashing H873 firmware (all G6s can cross flash except the H872)

thanks Brian, i actually found the culprit, apparently this phone is not Frankenstein but a normal sprint phone that was flashed to a non branded Canadian firmware.
so i went ahead and just flashed the 8.0 of Canadian G6 GSM firmware and it went fine without issues and now i'm on Oreo.
Every time i check my phone's imei online it says it is an LS993 but the model number in my phone's info is AS993. I bought it about a half a year ago online. Is it possible that someone could have bought an LS993 and flashed the AS993 rom onto it? Is there any way to reverse this and get back the old LS993 rom?
Imei-guru
My phone shows the model lg G6 h873. But when I checked it's IMEI number online at imei-guru, they said that it's the IMEI of lg g6 h872pr
What's the matter...?
I read a blog on xda about converting your claro PR to h873 and they said once you're converted to h873 you can't revert back it to claro.
But there's a difference between their 4g bands. My network carrier's 4g internet do not runs at high speed but only at 5 to 600 kbps. Can I revert back my phones firmware (h873 pie 9) to claro PR 9.0 pie...
I bought it in used from eBay type market
H872PR

I have exactly the same phone, and yeah bought it new/sealed & "unlocked" from ebay. (IMEI guru says it's a H872PR, but the phone claims it is an H873.) I found a thread that said it was "switched" to H873 as part of the unlocking process. Not really clear on that as the box was sealed, presumably from LG. Who knows?
I found H872PR drivers on the lg-firmwares site. (New poster, can't post links.)
Presumably you could use LGUP to flash back to those. I have not done this, so use at your own risk.
