No luck... Flashed this KDZ to Korean LGU+ device.
Checked 'Enable OEM unlock' but can't boot to bootloader. (Typed 'fastboot reboot bootloader ' but just passed to normal booting.)

It looks LG permanently disabled to unlock bootloader for other variants.

if you do it via LG Bridge, connect the phone, go to software update tab, and then software update (or correct error). It will then download the kdz and flash it to the non active slot.

Just curious, where did you get this?

The first link is from LG Bridge (you can look at its log, its in there), the second link is made from the first link, but is a more "open" server, which doesnt require the LG Bridge useragent to download.

For the first link you need to change your browsers useragent to the LG Bridge one, otherwise you end up with "not found" error.

Thank you so much.
Hope to unlock Korean variants with this KDZ.

How about your TWRP work?
TWRP is going okish, being busy with uni though, last 2/3 weeks lol

My V40 doesnt wanna boot stock roms anymore though... for whatever reason... (keymaster is crashing lol)
only GSIs work (and probably compiled roms, but didnt bump that yet to pie blobs/kernel)

I really look forward to a working twrp recovery on the v40 :D

In case you'd like to have root you can flash this patched boot image (Magisk 19.3):
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ekdafvsb31t7d1p/boot_20a_magisk193.img?dl=0

fastboot flash boot_a boot_20a_magisk193.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot_20a_magisk193.img

Enjoy :)

Anyone know how to flash it manually on my v40? I am new here in android and never flash and root my phone before. I got HK version with only £360. Really appreciate if someone can teach me step by step how to at least flash the firmware manually and even root the phone to custom the kernel. My HK version somehow still stuck on December 2018 security patches.

Hi there is no way currently to flash the LG v40..I have same as you and in the same boat..purchased a Europe model and received a Hong Kong v40..I’ve been looking waiting and hoping for a way to flash becomes available so I can install UK rom but no way to do so at the moment.

Yeah i was planning to flash it with european ROM cause they have similarity which is 6gb ram and 128gb storage as well as dual sim. But, still have no luck to find how to flash the phone itself. Wish someone could tell me how to do that since i have been seeing some people share the kdz file for v40 but never publish how to flash the device...

Europe pie kdz is now available but there’s no point as we can not flash it..I’m in the UK and my v40 won’t OTA update to pie or get security patches as it’s the Hong Kong version and must be regional locked or something..I purchased mine from amazon uk described as the Germany Europe open but got Hong Kong and only discovered recently it was not proper Europe version device...so I’m stuck.
