especially if your LG V50s, like mine, has a dead modem and can no longer make calls

Korean-variant LG Devices such as LG V50 (LM-V500N), LG-V50s (LM-V510N), or most of the LG Devices that have N, L, or F at the end of the model names have locked their VoLTE config to their carrier. There's now a new method for enabling VoLTE on Korean LG devices without using a PC or unlocking the bootloader.

Prerequisites

• A Korean LG Device
• An active sim card should be inserted
• Make sure you know the numerical model name for your device
  • For LG V50, LM-V500N = 500
  • For LG V50s, LM-V510N = 510
  • For LG G8x, LM-G850N = 850
  • You know the pattern...

Enabling VoLTE

1. Remove the SIM tray and put it back in, or else it will not show the IMS settings
2. Dial 5457#*x#, where x = the numerical model name.
3. Press the 3 dots on the top right side, then RCS Setting.
4. Go to TEST_SETTINGS Table then check the test_server_mode
5. Go back to Service menu then the 3 dots again, then IMS Setting.
6. Press the slot - 0 then go to Common (or IMS Common) then enable Test Mode
7. Press Back, then press Default Settings, then Yes... It will reboot
8. After it boots, dial5457#*x# again, where x = the numerical model name.
9. Then go to IMS setting > slot - 0
10. Check and enable or configure these settings:
    • Subscriber

  * Enable IMS
  * Enable USIM

• Xcap/Ut

  • Enable Ut
  • Enable TLS
  • Enable USSD Over IMS (optional)
  • Enable Check IMS Registration (under ETC section)

• Test

  • Set Preference Operator to OPEN
  • Set Preference Country to whatever country you're in (in 2 or 3 Digit ISO Code)
  • Enable Support VoLTE AT Command
  • Enable VoNR Enabled
    1. Now go to settings > Network & internet > Mobile data > Mobile networks > Access point names
    2. Then tap the 3 dots in the top right then add apn
    3. Make sure to input these values:

• Name: ims

• APN: ims

• APN Type: ims

• APN Protocol: IPv4/IPv6

• APN Roaming Protocol: IPv4/IPv6

1. Then press the 3 dots, then save
2. Now it will show the VoLTE Icon... If that doesn't work, try removing the SIM tray and put it back in.

La gran G ya quiere que compre algún celular nuevo, pero que son inferiores a mi LG V50, no voy a gastar en un Galaxy con superinteligencia y camarones que no voy a usar para aprovecharlos. Hace unos dias me di cuenta que hay apps que ya no te dejan entrar como X, Amazon, algunos bancos, roblox en algunas experiencias y juegos. Hace unos meses pasaba el Integrity Check sin problemas. No quiero instalar una rom AOSP, porque se pierde el uso del DAC, aunque parece que ya hay un módulo root para activarlo permanentemente.

does anyone have lgromup saved, the android file host link doesnt work anymore and i need to dowgrade my v50, thanks

I've been trying to update my LG v50 to android 12 S but can't find a proper download for the kdz file. Lgrom was the only available website for downloads but the download keep cutting off so I get a corrupted file error everytime I try to update it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Ever since I saw a colleague use a G2 back then and my GF got a G5 I decided to use a G7 and then my V50. I have loved LG phones and I'm pretty sad to see it go.

I usually buy my phones from used and unlocked via ebay because they're too expensive otherwise (paid 120 for my V50 and 80 for another V50 in perfect condition). I'm willing to pay a bit more for a used phone, maybe around 200, but I don't really know which one to get. I do want a phone with a better camera/image processing that's at minimum android 13/14 but Samsung is too expensive, Pixels apparently overheat, Motorola seems to have ass cameras, and my not gonna use iOS.

Any recommendations on which phone models I could get that would be good for me? I'm willing to sacrifice SD card support and even headphone jack (ugh) for a phone that's actually a decent upgrade in all the other aspects.

Edit: ended up going for an S23 Plus. Had to pay around 300 USD but so far so good

I've successfully make LG V50s/G8x Dual Screen work to LG V50.

How did I do it

TLDR: I make it work by patching the kernel source code and DTBO, with the use of Claude Fable 5 and Opus 4.8

Since I'm a current maintainer of the LG V50 custom Kernel, I found out that there are two versions of the LG Dual screen. First one is the first generation Dual Screen which uses pogo pins for the connection which in the LG V50. The Defconfig for this one is the CONFIG_LGE_COVER_SCREEN. While the second generation uses usb type c, which is for the LG V50s and G8x. The defconfig for this one is CONFIG_LGE_DUAL_SCREEN I search the source code for those and I wondered if those things can be possible to work since it's within the kernel source code. since this is too complex for me, I tried to help with Claude Fable 5 and Claude Opus 4.8 to make a port. Claude Fable 5 for the initial patch, while the rest is Claude Opus 4.8. The role of what I'm doing now is a Tester and also code checker, which I'm providing logs and tests so Claude could understand. then after 3 days it finally worked.

What works

• Dual Screen Display
• Dual Screen Touch
• Folding and unfolding

What doesn't work due to hardware limitations

• Dual Screen Cover Display AOD
• Deattach and attach (it needs Dual Screen to be intact and reboot)
• Charging (when plugging it to the charger, it kills the Dual Screen, needs to charge separately)

needs to be shockproof and has a drop resistant shell. any recommendations? links?

Purchased a used V50, great condition but looks like it’s a test version? Is there nothing I can do with this other than leave it as is? I only plan on using it as a DAP so don’t need many apps or cell.

Hi guys does anyone had a problem with their phone not charging? My v50 just decided not to charge. Ive tried multiple type c cable, already changed the battery, went to the repair guy and he said the charging port is working perfectly. Is it a motherboard related issue? Atp idk what to do bcs i cant find any technician that works on lg phones in my local area. Any suggestions would be helpful.

I just watched this 6+ year old review for the first time from my lengthy watch later list. It is one of the US submodels so no dual screen, he tested with Android 9).

Just a bit of nostalgia in a review with focus on the audio, no serious news value or any shocking new insights. Enjoy!

I post this in here cause this seems like the most LG active sub and maybe better to group it all here with v50/v60/velvet/wing

does anyone have the android 10 rom of lg v50 ktf korean version

Spent way too long cleaning the contacts and searching for fixes. Turned off Battery Saver and it fired right up immediately. Just a heads-up for anyone else having this issue. ​Bought this used years ago and it still rocks as a secondary device.

God I miss LG.

I bought a sony xperia 10 IV. I cant believe this phone doesnt have double tap to wake. very sad and pathetic. its also very narrow. other then that I like the phone, but it lacks so much that i had to use tons of foss to make up. so I need to sell that

I have a V50 korean. the screen one day just came out of its frame and has this bleeding effect. its responsive to touch but obviously it needs a replacement to work.

~I NEED A PHONE WITH VOLTE~ its why i got the sony. but it has a huge flaw. no double tap to wake. back to LG now. using V30 now. am also considering v40.

a few options im not sure of

1-can i even find a quality OLED for replacement for V50?

2-korean phone doesnt have VOLTE out of the box. can i flash an V500EM FW on this? is this confirm to work properly or is the hardware only for korean?

3-considering buying a used v500EM from alx, if I can even find one. or a usa one that has VOLTE out of the box. im not in the USA but usa gsm phones will work here.

-some guy in my country is selling an EM velvet which would probably have VOLTE? but he lives 2 hours away but not going to drive that long for a phone

• im sure whats left on alx may not be quality or so legit but not many options left

sony is a complete let down. their xperia 5 lineup had a huge defect in screens and the xperia 1 lineup is out of my budget and too big for me. no double tap to wake is a huge fuckup. velvet/v60 are also huge. no chinese phones, no samsuck phones.

Asking for some help again guys on my skt variant, so i have tried numerous android versions hoping to fix its Bluetooth connectivity issue that keeps disconnecting when you move away your phone less than a meter away plus the sound is quite poor. So far this are all the kdz files i used and to no avail, the issue still persists. Tried the developer options method, changing the avcrp, turning wifi off and the automatic network thingy and still doesn't work. Is there any android version available to download that fixes this issue? thanks.

Hey guys, I just want to ask if I can put thermal pads like ptm 7950, or thermal paste between the board and the vapor chamber to make it better on cooling. Is that possible? or that's a waste of time lol
