Hi Folks,
Just looking for a bit of advise. I have messed around with rooting and unlocking my phones in the past. I have always just followed guides here or youtube etc so not really having an clear understanding of the potential pitfalls.
I have imported an LG V10 from South Korea and overall am very happy with it. However for some reason it seems to be locked for international data roaming.
Can I get past this by flashing a UK or European firmware onto this phone when they become available ?
What device ID's or Radio's do I need to match etc or basically what do I need to watch out for. This phone can't go back to be repaired if I break it so want to make extra sure its worth it.
Thanks in advance for any help
Cheers
Chris
I'm not sure, maybe @wolfgart can help. I believe he's had a few different models of this device.

why you are saying "locked for international use"
Korean variants are free for international use. Tell me your problems
hi @wolfgart if i flash a ux version, might it activate the fm tunner if the uk version has one?

it always depends if fm chip builted in S808 inside your variant it was phisically enabled or not
i always wonder why manufacturer would add more work physically disabeling something that just do a commong motherboard and then just lock it on the software side or not.
is there an adroid app that could find/see what chip is on my version? (considering it s installed or not)

would be interesting if you set it to true , you get the fm on

Ok so long story
I bought an imported LG600S from a guy on eBay who had imported it directly from South Korea I believe direct from SK Telecoms.*
This phone appears to be unlocked for any network here in the UK. *I am using a 3 Hutchison sim in it at the moment which I get calls and LTE speeds. *I have also tried a UK Vodafone sim in the phone and that works fine too.*
My problem appeared when I went to Paris France. My contract gives me unlimited data even when roaming abroad. *However in France the phone would not allow me to switch on data networks. It gave me the warning message which I have attached. *I click the accept tags but still the slider for data network was blocked (grayed out) with a message saying I needed to contact Mobile T Roaming and gave me a link to a South Korea customer service centre . *I tried to call it but obviously I don't speak Korean *
I have tried an unlocking service called unlockscope who gave me a number of codes for my IMEI number. *However none of these codes worked as the phone does not prompt you for an unlock code when you swap sims. *They also gave me a few number strings to put into the dialer to try and force it to ask for a code, however these didn't work either. As an aside the unlockscope company has offered me a full refund and we're very good at trying to trouble shooting my issue. *
So now I am a bit of a loss as to what to do next?*
I need international data roaming for work but can't figure out how to unbarr it except maybe for flashing a different *on the device firmware to get round the block.??*
All help gratefully recieved! **

So, its mean still possible to cross flash/convert from korean variant to international, all working except signal?
Or, can I flash with another korean varian? For example now I have V10 LG U+ (F600L) to V10 SKT (F600S)? How to do?
Thanks

yes you can test if u want at your own risk I also had f600s and now I am using the latest nougat firmware downloaded from here "https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/general/lg-v10-f600l-f600k-f600s-android-n-7-0-t3611676"" use the f600k version it works for me each and everything worked perfectly for me.
1. download the kdz
2. use kdz tools to convert it dz format.
3. use lgup to flash (it will not say invalid kdz)
im here to ask something: if you can flash a H960(A) kdz on to F600(K,S,L)...the opposite can be done too without losing features? like put the firmware V30 Nougat in V20 European?
I dont care about FM Radio working or not, only want network and wifi working.

Okay first of all I am sorry if this is not the correct thread to be posting this question.
I have an At&t optimus g and I have been using it in Pakistan for quite some time now, and it worked flawlessly without any major problems. However, now in Canada the same phone doesnt receive network coverage and the service providor says that the connection fequency is not compatible with the phone.
Also, I rooted and bootloader unlocked my LGOG recently using FreeGee but ended up softbricking it, then later using teenybins I did recover it and flash the stock firmware. But I did not flash a baseband (dont know if i need to).
So, I think its either the baseband or radio (some regional problem) causing this problem but have no clue which one it actually is. Any help would be appreciated. Thankyou.
How did you unbrick it?

What band does the carrier use? (850, 1900, 2100, etc) it could be a compatibility issue with the carrier.

This is what I found out
The wind mobile network uses a frequency called AWS, with bands 1700/2100. The LGOG can support both these frequencies, i doubt it is a compatibility issue.
Or is it possible that currently it has no baseband whatsoever, and that i need to flash one? Really confused..

I used the e970 teenybin fix with tSilenzio's Automated LGNPST and the ls970 dll. However that did not cut it for me and I had to go ahead and use the "teenybin(AltBin)" which fortunately got me as far as the recovery. From there, obviously, I was able to flash roms.
Hope this helps.
Op, try flashing the stock att JB radio. If you were using it overseas then it's already unlocked, should work fine for 2g and 3g in Canada.
Sent from my LG Optimus G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Hello, I bought the LG G2 D802 from china, I live in Georgia use beeline as my network provider. The phone satisfies all specs for Beeline 4G LTE.
I did all of the tricks described on XDA-Developers (changing to lte from hidden menu, editing build.prop and settings.db). Software which was installed was HKG. I installed resurrection rom but still don't get LTE signal. What should i do now?
Please help
Do you use old sim card or new usim from beeline ?
I seem to have similar problem with 4G.
It was announced today that 4G is available with phone network so I tried most things and can't get 4G.
The phone company told me to wait for lollipop and then try again.
I will update manually to lollipop and see what happens
I have new USIM card.
Maybe B20 is disabled manually?
I installed EUR-XX stock rom now i can't enter LTE-Only testing menu. Toast appears saying not supported
Hmm try RAT...do
*#*#4636#*#*
Go to : phone information
Set the prefered network to LTE/WCDMA.
do not use LTE ONLY other wise you wont be able to receive sms and call
I tried RAT selection already, i tried all of the methods described here.
I even tried other cellular network which supports 4G LTE, still nothing
Try deleting LteSettings.apk reboot and report.

Tried nothing changed.
I checked the cellular provider's website they have feature which auto-detects if phone supports their LTE band and website confirmed that this phone supports it (B3 1800MHZ).
Maybe the problem is here i opened the LG hidden menu -> LTE-only -> Modem Settings -> LTE Band selection. all of the bands are unchecked. (Check attachment). If i check them up nothing changes, there's no save button, opening hidden menu again show that they are still unchecked even if i check them

Well.. applying a different rom as you mentioned earlier will not change your baseband. Even thought the phone has the specs to work on your area, it may not work if the applied baseband is not compatible.
Browse for a suitable baseband, flash it and report back.

Sorry what do you mean in baseband a modem? I thought baseband was dependent on OS like JB baseband or KK baseband.
If you've meant the modem so yeah I have flashed a couple of modems but nothing changed at all. I'm gonna go to cellular provider's office on saturday.

The software claims that it's D802
That doesn't mean it is a D802 actually... there's a lot of cases of China's bought phones that aren't what they should be.
https://cdn.recombu.com/mobile/images/phones/1282/1378840179.jpg its should we written on the back of the phone D802 (under the logo)
I have the exact same problem as op. My phone is an HKG real D802 because imei on back of phone match, and i flashed an Open euro D802 kdz over original HKG. That said, i dont need 4G as my career doesn't support it but it's nice to find a solution for this problem.
Hmmm, i think what you need is to flash modem / radio zip...
I'm from Indpnesia. As I have D802 and I reflashed the SEA v. 20B modem/ radio then recheck lte/wcdma using RAT menu it worked...
Fyi SEA =south east asia...

Hi,
Yes confirm no lte before i flash the 10B ESA modem
As for update info,
Previous Rom that I used and work on ESA LTE is :
pardus classic 7.7
FR 1.2
Bruce.
This morning I flased Pardus 3.2 sensation black and no LTE found.
i have tried all reflashing :
Stock Baseband, 20h baseband (both kitkat)
Stock kernel / then dorimanx kernel,
Bootloader,
Modem/radio ESA 10b
update:....
It works...I get LTE again.
I knoq its a long shot why dont you try flashing other modem/radio. (At least same network provider and make sure its GSM / CDMA network)... If u get no signal effect than just revert your current modem/radio file again...
Cheers,
Hello all,
Just purchased LG K7 (Walmart Family Mobile variant, model# K330) and tried to unlock for use on T-Mobile now that all WFM phones are SIM locked. Received a code from cellunlockerpro but the instructions to unlock (2945#*model number#”) don't work to open the dialog box needed to enter the code. Phone has a pre-installed unlock app which checks the eligibility prior to unlocking. Is there anyway to bypass the app and go through the dialer or service menu to unlock somehow? Thanks for any information/advice.
I bought the same phone yesterday for the same purpose. You need to search the forums, and download lgup, lgup_k330 T-Mobile, and WEB_K33010h_00 T-MOBILE.kdz. Follow instructions on the install, and flash that file. It will boot back up connected to T-Mobile. No unlock code needed.
Let me add as I am sure you know I had rooted, and unlocked the bootloader.

Okay, so if I flash this .kdz to the MetroPCS (ms330) variant using LGUp then I will be network unlocked or have switched networks to TMobile from MetroPCS; bypassing the factory installed device unlock application which was originally on the MetroPCS K7? Forgive me Im trying to verify before I attempt this.

Its possible, but more likely that you would just brick your phone if you tried flashing a firmware that wasnt for your exact model phone. Mostly because they use the partitions for different things. Never a good idea to flash firmware onto your phone thats not actually for your phone.

Hello Guys,

Normally, Bootloader checks if region code matches before flash.
Could you please explain more about this procedure?

Its not more of the bootloader, but Antirollback. This works perfectly on older LG's like the G2, G3, G Pro, etc.
Anyone know or have insight?
Won't know until the phone is in the hands of the tinkerers. It has been that way, FWIW, since the GS7/GS7E.

It works. I just flashed the unlocked firmware on my Verizon model. Only issue I'm having is trying to figure out how to access IMS Settings, can't access through nova or shortcut master. Visual voicemail works.

Hello,
NO, flashing carrier's firmware on unlocked model dosen't trip knox, so you don't lose warranty.

Ok thanks because I saw the carrier versions were model # SM-G965U and I was worried because I have model SM-G965U1.

You welcome, you don't have to worry, flashing SM-G965U firmware on your SM-G965U1 model will work anyway.

I am happy to report that after flashing the Sprint firmware on my unlocked S9+ it worked with no issues and knox was not tripped. I've noticed that even though the Sprint splashscreen didn't show up at boot, while in setup the phone did detect the exact carrier I was on (Boost Mobile) and the phone showed the Boost Mobile splashscreen upon reboot and all the Boost Mobile apps as well as some bloatware loaded onto the phone as if it were a phone I purchased through them. But one issue I still notice since when I first bought the phone is the fact that the data speeds are slow in my area, but when I had an LG Stylo 3 from Boost in the area now where I see the slow data speeds, the LG didn't have that issue. I thought flashing carrier firmware would fix that problem. When I am in other parts in NYC out from where I live, ex: Manhattan, Brooklyn; I don't see no slow speeds I get true, fast 4G LTE. I guess it's a software issue Samsung can fix in the next update?
Anyone have link for modified Odin just in case I decide to flash iunlocked S9+ firmware back on my phone?
