Well I've obtained the actual .kdz file from the pre beta program in Korea. Now too flash it into my Canadian g710awm. The firmware is actually for model# g710N so wish me luck...

Is it a 8.0 kdz to update to 9.0 or directly a 9.0 kdz?Well I've obtained the actual .kdz file from the pre beta program in Korea. Now too flash it into my Canadian g710awm. The firmware is actually for model# g710N so wish me luck...
Warning!
From what I read recently; LG has started to use unique RSA keys for each device (within a group, i.e G7) starting with V35 (I think), thus flashing a KDZ from another G7 would definitively cause hardbrick.
I thought that was only for TMoile but not the rest of variants?
Well, like I said, not anymore.
IIRC, this is what @runningnak3d said in a tread somewhere (I don't recall exactly, maybe V30 forums).
He is the current resident expert on LG root, and bootloader matters. At least the most active one, and he's provided root for many previous LG devices.
In that case maybe I remember wrong, or runningnak3d statement was not accurate (maybe doesn't apply to G7 specifically).
Yeah, not to mention that we don't have a way to fix ourselves bricked devices. It would be a trivial matter with a simple qualcomm type firehose-file.
Instead now it's basically dead weight. They seem to think it's ok to produce lots of electronic garbage, and not make efforts to reduce this.
I am definitely not arguing as I dont know the answer 100% myself.
What I DO know for sure is that I can, (and I have) flashed other LG G7's firmware on my G7 (Sprint) through my Octoplus box. This is using the Octoplus box, not LGUP, but if the RSA keys were an issue, I would expect it to not work (flashing another variant .KDZ), or I would expect the device not to work (boot) afterwards. It boots and works just fine. I also know of numerous others who have converted their LG G7's (except TMobile) to the unlocked model (ULM). My understanding was that only the TMobile ones were using a custom RSA key coming FROM TMobile themselves (I could be wrong but this is what I read) and since I dont own a TMobile flavor, I cant test myself to confirm.
What partitions did you flash?
All of the KDZs I have been able to pull down have different RSA certs (granted it is only a couple) but it is not just the TMO that was different.
If you don't mind, link to the exact KDZ for your model, and the KDZ that you flashed -- I would love to compare the certs.

There is no KDZ for the PM (Sprint model) yet so I cannot go back to Sprint or link to one (until one is released) but I wish there was one for others who are in a loop or brick situation, here are the 2 I used:

Its not going to be as magical as an unlock for the bootloader. Also its not going to be a tot or even a kdz file. Instead the idea is to use partition dll (a feature in lg up) to flash individual partitions (in this case sthe system one).Cool! Glad its progress forward, ping me when you're ready for a test I can flash normal .tots or .oct with Octoplus LG so whatever is easiest to build! I myself prefer AOSP so if it is possible for an AOSP image, even better, but I will test anything to help gain ROOT and unlocked bootlodaers, so let me know.

... I was stuck with the G7. If I had known now, what I knew then, NEVER would I have gotten an LG, no freaking way! Updates are horribly slow (still on Oreo, November 2018 security) ... I freaking HATE LG! Piece of trash in my opinion.
