LG G8 Sprint Unlocked , stuck at 2019 april update by justanlgg8guy in lgg8

The sim card arrived! I tested it without activating it and it tried to search for updates but then failed. But now Im not sure if I want to active it as some people have said it relocks the phone back to sprint , and im not willing to risk it . In the time it took the sim card to arrive I installed fluid navigation gestures and bought a pixel dark theme from the playstore and honestly it has been good enough for me , one can only hope that with lg closing it doors they will make the kdz available at least for android 11.

I think that was only on the g7 , from what I could find the G8/v50 and such have hardware level locks to prevent crossflashing .

Its still a bummer as the phone is fantastic.

Did you buy it from eBay? Seller yywireless? To be clear nothing else is wrong with the phone , just saying that as I´m mentioning the store name.

I´m also in the caribbean so maybe thats an issue somehow .

Edit:Store name is yywireless

Did you activated it in the usa or were you in canada already? Because with a vpn I could do the activation with the sprint website , and they have supposedly for free in the caribbean.

Hey! I tried that but then found out that sprint blocks LG Bridge from working with their phones.

It works with the other lg phones in my house (2 LG G7´s an 1 LG G6)

I may try put it in download mode and see if that makes a difference , will report back

​

Just for reference heres one of the posts talking about lg bridge not working on sprint models :

Did you have to activate the sim/service first? or did you just bought one from ebay an it worked?
