[Tutorial] Crossflash, Bypass OPID Mismatched Error

[tofik33`]

Refurbish if you're going back to a stock rom.

Worked, thanks. Guess I need to wait until there will be functional guide for V50

It should work fine with v50 as well.They're all the same chipsets,so it shouldn't be an issue.

Hi there
Thanks to all other guys here who have made helpful development to tame this beautiful =)

LG has made things difficult in flashing custom and even stock roms by this new OPID thing! It prevents us from crossflashing but we have been able to use TWRP and change the system and some other partitions to have a different rom. We had to make some changes into OP partition using HxD editor.
But now, through this tutorial, we're able to flash any rom without the need to change OPID in OP partition. Also, there is no need to root or unlock boot-loader.
I was successful to do this on some G8 (LMG820UM) but I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY HARM TO YOUR PHONE!

By continuing to read the following instructions you are actually accepting the risk.


IMPORTANT!
first, MAKE A FULL BACKUP OF ALL PARTITIONS; and I mean it!!!
at least, for your sake, make a backup of "modemst1, modemst2, fsg, fsc, ftm" partitions, for emergency.


Requirements
QPST and Qualcomm USB Driver (get)
LGE SM8150 Firehose (get)
LGUP 1.16.0.3 (get)
LGUP_Common.dll (get)
UI_Config.lgl (get)
LG Mobile Driver 4.4.2 (get)


Preparation
1. Install QPST and Qualcomm USB Driver.
2. Install LGUP.
3. Find the folder named "model" in the installation directory of LGUP, then Create a folder named "common" in the "model" folder.
4. Move "LGUP_Common.dll" and "UI_Config.lgl" into "common" folder. Change the attribute of "UI_Config.lgl" to read only.
5. Install LG Mobile Driver 4.4.2.


Steps
A)
1. Open QFIL.
2. Change "Storage Type" to UFS.
3. Select "Flat Build".
4. Browse for "LGE SM8150 Firehose" and pick it.
5. Now, connect the phone to PC and boot into EDL mode.
6. Open "Select Port" and select the phone, press OK.
7. In "Tools" open the "Partition Manager".

B)
!!!BE CAREFUL TO DO EXACTLY AS THE INSTRUCTIONS SAY OR YOU WILL BRICK THE PHONE!!!
1. Make a backup of and erase these 7 partitions: FTM, Modem_A, Modem_B, SID_A, SID_B, OP_A, OP_B.
1.1. You have to left-click on a partition then right-click on it and select "Manage Partition Data".
1.2. In the pop-up window, you have 4 choices: I. Erase (to erase data on the partition), II. Read Data (to dump or back up the partition), III. Load Image (to restore the partition), IV. Close (to close the window).
1.3. First dump/back up the partition by choosing "Read Data" then Erase it.
2. Close the "Partition Manager" window.
3. Wait for 5 seconds then press Vol- and Power until it restart.
3.1. Immediately after rebooting, Release the Vol- and Power buttons and press Vol+ to get into Download Mode.
Note: Do not let the phone to begin to boot! If it begins to boot, it may regenerate the SID and FTM partitions data and so you need to redo the whole step B.

C)
1. Open LGUP.
2. Pick your favorite KDZ.
3. Select "PARTITION DL".
4. Press Start. And a pop-up window will appear. In this window you can select which partitions to be flashed.
5. Here, uncheck these partitions: SID_A and SID_B. It will make it able to bypass the OPID Mismatched Error.
6. If you are in Sprint or other platforms you will get the message whether to change the model or not. Of course you know what to do =)

after completing the process it will boot up in some minutes and before starting the customization it will do one restart. just be patient.

Hello, when flashing I realized that the gyroscope is inverted, when the device is vertical for unknown reasons the screen is displayed horizontally, the same thing happens in the opposite way.

Any suggestions or help to fix this problem?

NOTE
I have installed several "KDZ" and this happens in all of them.

Spanish
hola, al realizar el flashing me he dado cuenta de que el giroscopio esta invertido, cuando el dispositivo esta vertical por razones desconocidas la pantalle se visualiza de manera horizontal, lo mismo pasa de manera contraria.

alguna sugerencia o ayuda para corregir este inconveniente?

NOTA
he instalado varios "KDZ" y en todos pasa esto.

While I didn't have that exact issue, when trying to crossflash all of my sensors didn't work, including the gyroscope. I believe it's due to some error when flashing the different roms, the way I managed to get my sensors back in working order was to do a complete flash erase, and then restored my partitions from zero. However be very careful when doing that and make sure to make a complete backup. I didn't need to be so careful as my network and all that already didn't work, but if the gyroscope is your only problem don't try anything without having backed up every single partition on your phone as it currently is.

Hmm, I have no idea why this happened but I've flashed "KDZ" several different times and the gyroscope issue still persists.


How would I do the "doing a complete deletion of the flash" is it by "QFILE" or by "LGUP"?

Spanish
mmm, no tengo idea de porque pasó esto pero he flasheado varias veces diferentes "KDZ" y aun sigue el problema del giroscopio.


como haría el "haciendo un borrado completo del flash" es por "QFILE" o por "LGUP"?

While it may be possible through lgup, I don't know how to do it. I did it through QFIL, just make sure to make a complete backup of your LUNS (follow netmsm's method) in case anything goes wrong. Also when deleting the flash, don't erase the GPT or your partition manager will be blank and you will have to do extra work to restore it.

Hi.
I have a problem. I cant do cross flash with my LG G8X Sprint. I erase boot a/b, OP_A/B, system_a/b, vendor a/b, modem_a/b, sid_a/b, product_a/b but, when I triying to use LGUP, instant I flash, I have the error 0x6004 CrossDL TOS_US>whatever rom Im triying to installl. I am really sure that I am following the steps to the letter. IDK whats happen with my cell. I tried to reload the backup several times but I dont have good results.
Anyone can help me?

 

[tofik33`]

It should work fine with v50 as well.They're all the same chipsets,so it shouldn't be an issue.

I've succeded in cross flashing yesterday. Additional things I had to do was erasing partitions mentioned by netmsm (vendor, product, system, boot) and another thing was unchecking sid_a, sib_b, abl_a, abl_b when flashing the ROM with LGUP.
No OPID Mismatched error anymore. Only a warning after reboot that says "Current version is not available for user. Can't find matched carrier. Check NT-Code: 0". I will try to resolve it later.

Finally I have fully translated android system, no U+ logo when booting, no U+ settings or non-removable apps, ability to silnce camera shutter.
The little differences I've noticed so far:
- No VoLTE option (however, I do not suffer from it as I didn't notice any difference in call quality although my carrier supports this technology).
- No FM Radio app pre-installed, but I downloaded it from web and the radio works well.
- When I turn off airplane mode it takes almost 10 second to connect to WiFi! On Korean ROM it connected almost instantly.

 

[Ratty696]

yes but it has to generate new one with proper OPID no? when you load download mode now, does it still says id: 0? i doubt that

Mine says id: 0. And I don't get message "would you like to change model " no matter what I try to flash it will not work for my sprint g8x or cad g8x

 

[animo214]

Thank you OP for the great tutorial,
but I just wanna be sure before going through..
I'm currently running Android 12 V500N40b_00_SKT with bootloader unlocked
Is it possible to crossflash to, say, UK V500EM30c android 11 ?

Do I need to do some extras since it's a roll back or it doesn't matter and just go with the tutorial ?

Thank you very much in advanced!

Hi,
Erasing boot, vendor, product and system should be done as a part of the whole process. So, redo the entire guide in addition to erasing those partitions.
Don't forget to create backup.

I've done this many times on LG G8 without any issue but on V50 I didn't. You may give it a go, however create backup before going for crossflash.

Yes, I released the guide several times and I have the same problem. This is strange for me 'cuz I've seen many tutorials and anything has my problem.

Hello.
I have done something stupid with my V500N.

First of all, a month ago i unlocked bootloader and installed PE+. Fastboot says that my device is G850 and have no Download mode.

Now, i wanna to switch back to stock.
Flashed back through QFIL my backup abl,boot,laf.bin's, but only one that changed - is not working correctly Fastboot with device name V500N and still no Download mode.
After that, i flashed back abl_a.bin from bootloader unlock guide and have fully working G850 fastboot again.
But i need stock and download mode...
So, my stupid head decided to follow unbrick guide.

And i flashed everything. Got download mode. Than tried to flash my KT korean kdz by LGUP. But it's refuses to flash, what surprise me, saying that there is crossDL error. Okay. Than i tried to flash by QFIL again my backup files and.. Now it's saying OPID Mismatch and i really scared don't know what to do.
I just wanna korean stock be back...

As i understand - now i need partitions from this kdz to flash them back, because i flashed V450 files. But where to get them? Tried KDZTool, it unpacks, but there is no any abl, boot, laf files.

P.S. I had G2,3,4,5,6 and V30. They are super easy to flash. Why V50 and modern phones becomes so hard to flash...

Looking for a little info. I have a lmv450pm (sprint v50) and as most of you are aware this phone nolonger works in the US. I also have a complete Berkler backup of the phone so I can immediately return to stock if needed. I just installed Lineage 19.1 (a12) and the phone is up and running fine EXCEPT, as usual when I slip my Google Fi (Tmob mvno) sim in it absolutely won't log on to the network. Somehow the Tmob crew have blocked all Sprint v50. I have other phones so I'm not in any hurry but was thinking there must be a way to fool the Tmob network into thinking that this is a G820TM or any other model of the LG G8. As most of you are also aware this phone shares a common Qcom chipset (sm8150) so I'm hoping that the radios aren't to different? Yes, I know that the Sprint v50 is a 5g phone and the G8 not so much but am hoping that is won't kill my experiment.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

Have you tried crossflashing to the Verizon version of the V50?It's not the fact they're blocking the devices,it's they're blocking custom firmware from being used.It's the same as AT&T has done when they shut down 3g service.It's possible the radios may work,but highly doubt it since it's a different chipset version.

Hi. I replayed this for my secondary account.
I was able to fix my problem with this. I hope I can help.
Apparently the Sprint software didn't allow an update from 10 to 11, I don't know why, but that's what happened to me.
What I did was install an Android 10 rom but from another country. I installed a version from Germany with android 10.
When I resumed wiping the partitions and went to LGUP, the flashing went perfectly. I didn't lose signal.
Now I applied the process but for an Android 11 KDZ of the same nationality, and I am happily writing the solution from the cel with A11.
Remember make a backup of your partitions.
I have a LG G8X.

Spanish

Pude solucinarlo.
Al parecer el software de Sprint no permitía una actualización de 10 a 11, desconozco el por qué, empero así me sucedía.
Lo que hice fue instalar una rom de Android 10 pero de otro país. Yo instalé una versión de Alemania con android 10.
Cuando reanudé el borrado de las particiones y me fui al LGUP, el flasheo pasó perfectamente. No perdí señal.
Ahora apliqué el proceso pero para una KDZ de Android 11 de la misma nacionalidad, y estoy felizmente escribiendo la solución desde el cel con A11.
Espero y sirva de algo.

issue as of now is blank SN..

Restore the original FTM.

Redo the whole process and erase these partitions too: p_persist_lg, persist, persdata, metadata, userdata. Create backup of all partitions except the "userdata".
The phone must get into download mode right after restarting from EDL mode, so as soon as it restarts hold the vol+.

Can I will post SC of my steps process?

Yeah, sure.
