worked like a charm wow, thank you SO much for this. Does anyone know how future updates can be done? Will we get OTA or can we just download the Fi .kdz and perform the same process again when new ones come out?
How u settled the issue i have same problem, phone model is of sprint while hardware model is of ULM how to resolve this issue as my phone stucks daily and i have to soft reset in number of time daily.

i have one of these V10b-LAO-COM version, is there anyway to flash these to the sprint model? or since sprint is part of Fi, would that work too?

Tried this, have voice and text on sprint, but no data. Does anyone have access to LG710PM (Sprint) firmware? I'm on ULM, but i need sprint.

Right now I have a working Sprint GM model (still stock from sprint), how do you want me to dump the ROM?

@bobloadmire need the stock firmware dump to restore his G710PM sprint.
He can just flash the dumped system_01.img back to his phone to restore his phone.
Just rename system_01.img to system.bin and use patched LGUP to flash system.bin to fix the issues.

Also it seems we need a modded DLL as just the patched version of LGUP fails to dump. I even have an authentic LG octoplus and cannot dump the firmware. I think we need the DLL before we can get this working or wait until LG/Sprint pushes the next update (Pie). We could possibly then get the firmware from the update and have a restore (Sprint) method.

I'm really sorry but I keep forgetting. So the Sprint model is not recognized from LG bridge or is it?

Came here to say thank you so much for this! I, among many others, would really appreciate a similar tutorial for other updates like Android Pie, etc. as they come out.

Flashing gave me a much better battery and more efficient camera. May to September security patch is needed overall.
Is there any way to allow OTA after flashing this?

Phone flashed successfully. Looks good, still No S/N, September 1st security update, 4glte icon shows, selected on Automatic LTE3g/2g/4g (before its says wcdma) option in network setting.

Signal is not too good for me. LTE download speedtest i got 14.8 mbps before right now its 4 mbps.

Im on Tmobile USA only got 1 or 2 bar (-106dbm) on band 4 or 2. if find band12 it will Have 4 bar at my location for now.

Other than that the firmware runs great, wifi calling works on T-mobile. FM radio app changed to next radio. It has 4k 60fps option now in camera app. Google pay can't set up though ,guess that no S/N thing. But overall Im happy with this Rom.

I guess for future update we just have to follow Project Fi firmware flash manually. Hopefully Android pie come out soon.

Thank you so much for sharing the info.
Has anyone had to do something special to get wifi calling working? I don't have the option anywhere in the settings, and under the phone info menu it shows that it's not provisioned

Few weeks ago i got a LG G7 “UNLOCKED” on ebay, the phone had a sticker where it said model “LGG710PM”, the bad news i was stuck with a FIRMWARE LM-G710ULM (V10b-LAO-COM) MAY 2018. I tried updating the phone via OTA or LGBridge and i had no luck. So i looked online for the correct KDZ file for the LGG710PM and also no luck, So what i did is look for a G710ULM KDZ, but the only one the i could find was the G710ULM10G_00 (https://www.mylgphones.com/lg-g7-thinq-project-fi-stock-firmware-g710ulm10g.html) . So after searching online and watching some videos on youtube if this could work, i found a youtuber video (MAXLEE) he change a FIRMWARE of sprint to a Canadian FIRMWARE and it work he did it on a LG G6. So what i did is try it on MY G7 model LGG710PM“ the only thing is that on the G7 there's a few more steps to do:

1) Download G710ULM10G_00 KDZ file
https://www.mylgphones.com/lg-g7-thinq-project-fi-stock-firmware-g710ulm10g.html

2) Download LGUP and install (make sure to use this link for download and follow instructions, like this you don't get an error when
you insert the KDZ file and hit START).
https://mega.nz/#!kCpHBaia!xZmico6MYL1T07ffuc8z6cCbs5oU4pKEz5VG-AwfvV0

A) Make sure you don't have LGBrige installed, if so UNINSTALL and delete any folder of LGBridge after you have uninstalled
(C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics)

B) Download the LGUP zip file and unzip, if you don't have the drivers install lgdrives(The file is inside the folder LGUP-LG G7 ThinQ).
After that install “LGUP_Install_Ver_1_14_3 (1).msi “ file.


C) After installing LGUP you must go to C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP and copy the first three files(CODEFIRE, LOG,
model) from the UNZIPED FILE from step B.

D) Go to file “model” (C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model) then go to file “common”....go to step “E” don't close the
window….

E) Go to the UNZIP FOLDER, go to file WindowsLGFirmwareExtract-1.2.6.1-Release. Run “WindowsLGFirmwareExtract.exe” and select
the KDZ file you downloaded, then make sure you
check on “LGUPc.dll. EXTRACT KDZ.

F) A file “LGUPc.dll” will be created, Copy that file into the folder “common”...... you should had left that window open from step “D”. Rename the actual “LGUP_Common.dll” to
“LGUP_CommonDDD.dll” and “LGUPc.dll” to “LGUP_Common.dll” and then deltate the “LGUP_CommonDDD.dll”.

Open LGUP...put your phone in download mode... select the KDZ file you downloaded from step “1” and in PROCESS select REFURBISH…. Then click START.
Doesn't work for me says cross flashing is not supported ive always used partition dl but not there for this method

I can confirm that this does indeed work for Verizon. V10b-lao-com device cought off of eBay. Used this guide and now have working service on Verizon. Can't access WiFi calling settings or even *#*#4636#*#* however.

Does anyone know where I can find more updates to the firmware so I can continue to perform the update this way? Will we be forever stuck on sept? Or is there a Fi page that posts more recent ones? Thanks guys.

wonder if we could use UPPERCUT to flash the kdz because it does not need specific DLL .Does anyone have the original V10b-LAO-COM image ?

PS: I just connect the phone with UPPERCUT ( without any DLL ) and it could see the phone fine

had to use the DLL anway !

Tried this on a whole bunch of converted G710PM running V10b-LAO-COM and claiming ULM with empty S/N under settings. On almost every unit, it gets stuck at 4% and gives an error: skip write protected lun

Some units also do not have the "Refurbish" option in LGUp.

i have a converted lg710pm to g710ulm10f.

At first, it's a 710pm. I purchase a unlock service from ebay, they remotely flash g710ulm10f using the octoplus.
Here's few questions.

1. Does this method able to help me to update?
2. on the 10f, there is no wifi calling, will i get wifi calling after update?
3. I see my phone using band 4 all the time, even i drive 50miles everyday. So how can i tell the 10f have band 2 or 12 enable? i am using t-mobile.

*#*#4636#*#* work for me. but volte, video calling and wifi calling is gray out, but i could enable EAB/presence provisioned. Should I?

Thanks.
