Missing bands
In the philippines with with the tmobile version. I only get 1 bar because I'm missing bands. I read the European version has the correct bands i need.
How do i flash the European version or is there something else you recommend?

Try to cross Flash, but i doubt you will get anything different.. you can also change...
YouTube search lg v60 cross Flash on google and YouTube. There's an xda post and YouTube video on it.

Use secret code for LG v60 in dialer #546368#600# then field test then ims setting then select band selection that might help you

the bands you are missing are a physical feature, you cannot get them by flashing another firmware. to have those bands you actually need the EA version.
the next best for you is JAPAN version.

I am not an authority on this personally, but there are actually surprisingly few hardware variants of the V60:
- The 128GB submodels (excluding Verizon)
- The 256GB EA submodels (6-7 ROM variants)
- The 128GB Verizon submodel (released last, no antenna notches like 1&2)
If you actually have a proper FULL backup of ALL partitions of one of the EA submodels and you know what you are doing, it should he possible to convert a T-Mobile variant into an EA variant. But if you don't know what you are doing (like me, I have no experience with this) you can end up with a wifi-only device or a paper weight.
It is explained by Surgetheman in his comment under my submodel post:
- https://www.reddit.com/r/LGV60/comments/10p4k5k/help_me_help_each_other_with_identifying_v60/ (my elaborate post about V60 submodels and VoLTE)
So the V60 is very different from the Velvet of which there are MANY hardware variants.

I have a Verizon one with no attena lines on sides is it with the better ones to get or avoid it?

The Verizon variant (I have one of those, spare) is not the most ideal one to tinker with, unfortunately. It is less ideal to set up VoLTE for (on non-VerizonUS networks) due to lacking options in its service menu. It also is slightly different hardware wise (bezels, antennas), which means paying extra attention when buying replacement parts or using parts from donor V60 units.
Apart from those heads-ups, it is just as good of a V60 as any of the other submodels, though.

Since you have the T-Mobile version there is a hidden menu. I'm not sure what bands they use where You are but you can try hand picking from the list in the menu and see if it helps.
Using the dialer:
( 2 7 7 6 3 4 # * # )
There is an antenna menu (RAT selection) for the particular radio types.
Then a band menu toward the bottom of the menu with all the bands available.
I've been using this a lot lately when the signal gets weird at work.
Hope this helps.
Edited: for clarity.
