You should be able to unlock the bootloader with the LG G8 method.Same 8150 chipet and same abl enginnering file will be used.
Lg phones g8x, g8, v60, velvet Volte enable for all carriers, unlisted countries also

Thank you Surgemanxx, I will try this method to unlock the bootloader.
But I don't think it will be enough neither to pass the model name to cross flash the Open firmware on the korean SKT V50S, nor to make the Field Test menu appear.
In the meantime I could check if I could change the NT value on the V50S, but It can't be done...

If IMPL shows 0, you can edit NT codes.
Another way is to use LGUP "PDM" mode to change NT codes.

Be careful cross flashing, always first keep all luna partition and other efs backup. I had 2 lg phones dead for months , cause of crossflashing. Something in lg can trigger the baseband to not match and then its down hill, like no imei and even if able to enter imei in sv menu , the phone showed locked permanent.
Thanks for all those infos. Will first try to edit NT code to enable Field Test. If I can already have VoLTE it should be working fine in europe and I might be able to activate other 4G 5G Bands.
If this doesn't work, I'll try to cross flash. Doing so with the Korean Open firmware might keep baseband, etc as it's suppose then to work on all korean networks I guess. We'll see.
The NT-Code can be edited in the FTM with a Hex Editor.Just pull it with Qfil,and look for offset 14000.Add the countries firmware you cross flashed to and it's fixed.You can beat partitions to death as long as you make sure you save all LUN 5 partitions before you begin.Modemst1 and Modemst2 is your main partitions in LUN 5 for IMEI,but it's best to save all under LUN 5.I cross flashed my V60 USC model for this very reason of this post.AT&T doesn't like unlocked devices unless they're Pixel,Samsung,or Iphones.

Please keep me updated ! I own a Korean G8 in Europe and miss calls due to no VoLTE.... First time I hear about this NT code modif ( thanks @darrelama and @surgemanx but it would be a life saviour for me as Korean G8 does not have the same cameras as american G8 so crossflash would break it.
Also, if this does not work, I'm curious about this Korean open software that I also noticed but no one seems to have ever trier it....
I have lg v50 v500n korean model crossflashed to em 40b firmware and now the problem
When i click ims settings just say not supported how to fix it?

Install this apk,and see if it will let you in the hidden menu.Also,make sure you have a folder named enable_ue in the main storage as well.
Yes i can get into the menu and the problem is when i touch the ims settings it prompt not supported
Like I said,make sure you have a empty folder named enable_ue in the main storage and then try.
Make sure you have the underscore as well with the name of the folder,or it won't work. enable_ue just like that.That folder has to be in the root of the internal storage.
Follow about the universal enabler , then remove sim and restart phone , enter engineering menu without sim and open ims. Did you follow the steps from the first post?

14I will try to keep this post as small as possible.
This will enable Volte for Phone ranging from Lg g8x, g8 and V60 without root or modifying the system files.
Many have posted ways to get it, Iam only trying to help out the small bits missing for enabling on carrier without MBN in the LG phones.
1)First remove the sim from phone and then head to the phone dialer .
2)open field test menu under *#546368#*'your model number'#
3)open IMS setting(If does not open or shows only LG IMS without carrier and country , then insert sim enable universal enabler under field test, create a new config and select the 4 last options and restart phone without sim )
4)back to Field Test, IMS setting enable the below options:
4.1) under subscriber enable for IMS,ISIM, USIM
4.2) Under Xcap\Ut. Under General= enable UT,USSD Over IMS
Under ETC enable 'Check IMS Registration', 'Use rule-ID from response', 'Query on bootup'
4.3) Under GPRI VoLTE/VoWIFi enable VoLTE, ViLTE,VoWIFI,VIWIFI
4.4) Under test : Preference Operator can be set as 'OPEN' or your carrier short name. Really does not make difference for some operator , some do require it to same name as theirs.
Preference Country this is important as this decides if VoLTE gets enabled, Find your country short code example USA is US , India is IN. Find and try different short codes.
Enable:- 'support Volte AT command', VoNR, 'UAC Enabled', 'VoLTE Setting Enabled'
5) Go to Phone settings, Under network , APN settings add APN :-
APN name = ims
APN = ims
APN TYPE = ims
6) Save APN and make sure it shows under the APN names, Head back to field test menu under *#546368#*'your model number'# , open test , IMS setting and the press 'restart IMS process' wait for 1 min or so , see if the VOLTE icon shows up in the top of phone.
Points to keep in mind:
*#4636#*#* wont show registered sometimes, that's ok as long as you can make a call with HD written on calls or , if during the call it is 4g or LTE. provided VOLTE icon shows always on top of phone.
If in case VoLTE disappears at any point, no need to go through all these steps , only need to go to field test, under IMS setting , do 'restart IMS process' .
Vowifi is not confirmed, IF someone does get it please share their Operator name and preference country short name.2The NT-Code can be edited in the FTM with a Hex Editor.Just pull it with Qfil,and look for offset 14000.Add the countries firmware you cross flashed to and it's fixed.You can beat partitions to death as long as you make sure you save all LUN 5 partitions before you begin.Modemst1 and Modemst2 is your main partitions in LUN 5 for IMEI,but it's best to save all under LUN 5.I cross flashed my V60 USC model for this very reason of this post.AT&T doesn't like unlocked devices unless they're Pixel,Samsung,or Iphones.1Cosmote Greece - GR, it worked. The only method that my v60 got a volte. Thank you!
Initially i did colincsf and it worked, but after updating to Android 13 and installing a patched modem, IMS settings was empty and I couldn't change settings. Removing the SIM showed the IMS settings option and procceded with the steps above.1
nice tutorial but why my *#546368#* has no IMS menu? my phone is V50s, I use *#546368#*510# to enter the hidden setting, pls help, need VoLTE for my carrier that only utilize it for calls1
There is issue reported with lg g8x also, incoming doesnt work ,but outgoing does. All with volte enabled. Not sure if its 4g bands. This was only for jio. Other networks it works ok.
