LMV600AM Restore/Ugrade Guide

[Surgemanxx]

Hi There!

What do you hear about A13 for us?

The Korean Velvet "supposedly" received the A13 update,but so far my Velvets are still at A12 and no updates available.I have all 3 variants of the Velvet for the U.S. market.Nothing on my V60's AT&T or Verizon.Verizon will be the first to get it if any of them do.

Turn it completely off,and hold power and volume down until it turns on.Then release power and hold it again and it will go to the recovery screen and ask if you want to factory restore.Choose yes,and let it factory clear and it should boot with no problem after that.

Hello Mr. Surgemanxx, information appeared in the news that LG V60 ATT received an update to android 13, if you have the opportunity to upload the LUNs with a new update? thank you very much in advance.

Wow! We are all looking forward to the respected Surgemanxx having the free time to provide us with the A13 LUNs.

I'll have to make a full backup of my updated device,and I'll post it.Be warned!AT&T skipped to 40b unlike Verizon and T-Mobile at 40a.So far the biggest change I have seen it doesn't work with Magisk(newest version) for root access.I'll try with the older versions that work with A12,and include the rooted boot_a and boot_b images if they work?!?I assume 40a works because some have already rooted with it.Which means the API level is still at 32 with Magisk and it's a A12 copy lableled as A13.

Sorry, I can't figure out where to get an actual link to Lmv600am v20q Restore Partitions.7z mentioned by topic starter?

Also, can you please help me as a noob regarding what is relevant and what is not for restoring my V60? First I had AT&T A11 (20r) firmware on it, then I crossflashed it to EA A12. Now I wish to roll back to original firmware. I have all partitions (listed in QFIL partition manager!) backed up. Do I need anything else (LUNs, etc.) to go on?

Yes you need to unlock bootloader if you want to root.

Can anyone share only lun5 files?

 

[Surgemanxx]

Can anyone share only lun5 files?

Won't do much good!If you use a LUN 5 from another V60 it will give you the Mismatch OPID error or the Network is locked and can't be unlocked error.

 

[faXal@21]

after cross flash my device imei is null how can i fix it. if i don't have backup?

This restore process is intended for the AT&T V60 (lmv600am) model and will WIPE your data so back it up if you want to keep it!

This process will restore the lmv600am to original factory state for the AT&T v60 v20q build (a11). I’ve dumped all the required partitions from a new replacement phone sent to me by LG. This process uses the Qfil utility and assumes you already have a working knowledge of Qfil and that you have already installed it on your Windows PC. If you don’t have that knowledge start reading. The internet is full of Qfil guides.

You can’t damage or fix your existing imei relevant partitions from this restore because they aren’t included in this download.

You are responsible for backing up your existing phone partitions. I’m not liable for you using my work product and you do so at your own risk. If you’re unsure of what you’re doing then read more about Qfil and what is does. Again, if you are a newby go slow. Taking your time will save you a lot of aggravation.

This process will not fix your erased or damage imei number problem. There are process out there but they are usually reserved for people with an expert level of knowledge on the subject.

This guide is for anyone who’s presently unable to boot or who just can’t access AT&T ota services and wishes to upgrade their lmv600am to a newer a11 build. I have only tried this when my phone was already on an Android 11 rom. That’s not to say it won’t work coming from a Android 10 rom but I haven’t tried it.

This process will not fix your erased or damage imei number problem.

Steps

1. Download “Lmv600am v20q Restore Partitions.7z” file from ??? and unzip. Remember the unzipped restore directory path.
2. Plug your phone into PC with USB cable and put you phone in EDL (9008) mode. Again, there are guides on how to do this everywhere.
3. Start Qfil and select the port of your phone’ connection. (See Windows device manager)
4. Select the v60 firehose (.elf) which is included in the unzipped directory.
5. Select storage type = ulf which is located at the bottom right of the Qfil dialog screen. I’m using Qfil 2.0.3.5 version.
6. Next click on the “load XML” button and group select “rawprogram0” thru “rawprogram6” which are also in the unzipped directory, then hit OK. Next it will ask for the Patch0.xml file, hit cancel as we’re not patching anything.
7. Wait a few seconds and then click on the “Download” button. Qfil will now resolve all the names of the partitions to be restore and then start the download process to the phone.​

When complete phone reboots as I recall.

Hi, Is it safe to upgrade/update att v60 directly from A11 to A13 using Luns backup method?

Yes, data will be wiped.

 

[Kilafricanman]

Yes, data will be wiped.

Thanks man. One more thing, I don't seem to have
grasped how to install Lun saved partition files. A little more clear clue other than the usual referred to guide will be highly appreciated.
