[Q] [HELP] Differences between O1 models! - Optimus One, P500, V General

Hi!
I've just bought my O1 which is labeled as P500h. I'd like to know what is the differences between P500h and P500 models. My P500h has the card slot under battery cover and on it's camera lens it's showing 3.2 mega pixels... I saw some pics in the internet showing some O1 with card slot outside and camera lens showing 3.0 mp..
That's really confusing... Because I don't know if my p500h support custom roms (mine is the stock one, 2.2.1, V10a, FRG83)
Thx

I have P500 and it's "3.0 MP" note on back... maybe it simple for different countries?

That would be my first guess... Is your microsd slot located under battery cover (on the top)?

anyone else?

Models are named different in different countries. Like Lg optimus one p500 in india
and others like lg optimus T for T-Mobile etc.

Right, but about the hardware differences that I said on my post?
So can I use any custom rom on my p500h? Because I read somewhere that a P500h phone was lost after flashing a P500 rom.

So I can flash any rom on my p500h? Even if it was a P500 rom?

P-500h is a Telus\Koodo branded Optimus One. It has the same hardware so you can use the same roms.

But I live in Brazil and I have an unbranded phone.

So what? That was only an example. This one is also present in Brasil (Claro, Vivo, Tim, Telemig), New Zealeand (Telecom), Mexic (Telcel), Peru (Telefonica). The phone may be sold from an operator without any hardware visual branding. Just small differences in software or no differences whatsoever. As for yours, I'm sure there are only small cosmetic changes.

Is the Verizon phone the same as the Rogers Canada version? I recently replaced my G2 D803 with a G3 D852. Now, on the Phone Claim website, my G2 was listed as the VS980 and the G3 was listed as the VS985. Just wondering what kind of ROMs I could use on my phone since there's never any subforum for Canadian variants.

No. Their devices are closer to ATT as most of the world uses gsm and not the old cdma tech.

Looking to buy this (UK MODEL) but not sure what model to get

Hi Guys, i wondered if you could help me. Im looking to buy this phone on friday and im from the UK. Im not sure what version to get, ive looked around and ive seen a few on ebay which im a bit unsure about, one was a H960 which from what i understand is the UK phone, but some keep saying H960A? whats the difference for these?
Ive also seen one which has the model number GL-H961N-BK, but not sure if this would do the trick to? i understand it doesnt have the 800mhz band.
Im on EE network and ideally would like to get the H960, but is the one im looking at ok to get? or can you guys link me to the best one for the UK?
H960 link: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_o...0.Xlg+v10+h960.TRS0&_nkw=lg+v10+h960&_sacat=0
H961N link: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Latest-Mo...id=100005&rk=1&rkt=6&mehot=ag&sd=201521597954
Thanks Guys!
I'm bias towards dual SIM phones. H961N is covering pretty much all your networks, and supports dual sims, so you can have both.

LG G5 RS988 and H830 software differences

Ok, I'm a rookie when it comes to understanding phone differences and if a mistake is made, you will brick your phone. I compared the hardware differences between the LG G5 RS988 unbranded and the T-Mobile H830. From what I can tell, they are essentially the same phone. Differences would be in the software from an unbranded phone and a branded phone. More or less bloatware, differences in the essential apps such as messenger, email, calendar, phone etc which is the UI. I am just trying to understand why an image from an H830 wouldn't work on the RS988. Both phones have the same baseband, kernel and build number. I would appreciate it if someone would enlighten me. Thank you in advance! The Ghost
I was wondering the same thing. I have the RS988 and would like to Flash the H830 firmware to get band 12 access. Does anyone know if it's possible? Or is there physical differences between the two phone?

[Q] Any HiFi Dac works for ATT LG G5?

I have been looking over the places and couldn't find one that works with ATT LG G5. Anyone has better luck?
From what I understand that module will not work on any phones from North America as well as a few other places. It will fit but say to insert a compatible module if you were to try one.

LG H930DS - is it possible to change region?

I have bought a H930DS in Denmark. It's parallel import.... from Hong Kong i think.
There is no officiel Europe or Nordic firmware on the LG firmware site for this model.
Is it possible to change region any way?
Right now i don't get VoltE og WiFi calling even though i know my provider supports it.

Yes, you can flash India DS firmware over Hong Kong DS firmware. At least in India, it let those users get VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling by changing the region of their H930DS:

Okay.. I bring good news! You can definitely flash any KDZ as long as the model number is exactly the same. I flashed the HK Reginal kdz on my H930DS from India and I now have working VoLTE and VoWiFi.
In short, get the CORRECT kdz of the desired region for your model number, use LGUP, Upgrade option, and let it do its thing. Simple. This keeps the device official and under warranty.
PS - Please backup all data before doing this. Even though it is just an upgrade, play it safe. Just in case!

If you're still within 14 day return period I suggest you do that and get the H930 version.
Here you can get it for 598 EUR (including shipping to Denmark) which is ~4500 DKK so 25% cheaper than you can get it locally.
Warranty?

Hi,
I am planning to get a V30+ H930DS via import from HK to India. I am concerned about the warranty cover. If in case my device misbehaves or I drop it and break the glass build, then will LG India (from my home country) cover it under warranty or will I need to get it serviced from LG HK?

I would guess Hong Kong, just to dissuade you from doing that. If you live in India, they probably want you to buy Indian variant.
Is the H930DS a lot less expensive in Hong Kong than India? I know the regular V30+ was very underpriced at launch in India.

I came across an offer at www.mobizkart.com where the cost of H930DS is roughly 25k INR whereas in India it is 45k INR. Quite tempted. But my concern is the warranty. Also, the device comes with B&O headphones as well. Unsure of what should I do.

Tried it now, but unfortunately it does not result in working VoltE in Denmark. I guess the regional firmware versions contain specific carrier information needed to get VoltE in the region.
Not sure about Denmark, sorry, but in France and in UK (if I believe some british contributors), even if your smartphone (that's not LG related) and firmware supports VoltE, you won't get VoltE.
It will only work with a compatible device with your specific carrier firmware/software... Those versions are only sold by carriers, of course. Not sure it's the case in Denmark, though...
I have installed the latest european Oreo firmware for H930 on my H930DS. Its possible if you want Oreo.

Yeah, a couple of days ago we found out all H930DS can flash the open market European H930 Oreo KDZ. Amazing.
Did anyone actually manage to flash it on the H930D variant (UAE)?
I need my phone functioning in the next week or so, so I'm unable to experiment right now.
Can you tell me if installing this on my H930DS would compromise dual sim functionality? Thanks.

Depends on how you are using the dual SIM. Are you using to get calls on one, but data off the other or calls on both?

I can't vouch for anything with the G6, you'll have to take that risk. I was answering for the H930DS vs H930 for just one SIM. Many people don't even use the 2nd SIM card anyway and the first one works fine on H930.
For those that need both SIM cards, they can flash the newer Hong Kong H930DS Oreo KDZ.
Flashing out of region KDZ may prevent VoLTE from working. India users in particular seem to have that problem. Most people don't NEED VoLTE (on GSM/HSPA/LTE carriers) but Jio carrier in India is different. All they have are LTE bands.

Hi, still waiting for my H930DS to play with...
Checking the link in #13, am I correct that the update kdz for these LG phones is one file for single and dual sim?
I think I have been reading these threads wrong
Coming from HTC, they were 2 completely seperate update files and a big no-no to try to flash the wrong one on the wrong phone.
"H93020d_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0326.kdz
2.94GB
For H930, H930G, H930DS.
This will NOT unlock your bootloader if your phone is not already eligible on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock website. It will only give you stock LG Oreo.
