Hi everyone, I'm new here. I have a LG Optimus L9 P769 from Metro Pcs. I rooted and bootloader unlocked the phone yesterday. I also flash a custom Rom on there. I was wondering does anyone know where I can find the factory Rom that I can flash to my phone? Do you know if I can use T-Mobile factory ROM with this phone?
Thanks

Yes but your phone will work only with T-mobile simcards.

Hi, I bought an ATT Unlocked D800 LG G2. I am using it on the MetroPCS network and all features work. I have 4G LTE working well. I dont want the ATT Firmware on it. Is there a way I can install the MetroPCS Firmware on it? or Tmobile Firmware? I want to do this so I ca get the WiFi calling feature and other MetroPCS apps that are not on the ATT Firmware.
I have the LG flash tool installed but when I try to flash my G2 D800 with the Tmobile D801 Firmware it gives me an error. Ive been reading everywhere but cant find an answer. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks G..

Sorry to ask but, how did you manage to get 4G LTE from Metro on your D800? I am about to purchase an unlocked secondhand one but I want to make sure I will get 4G speeds with my current plan ($40 Most Affordable).
Hey guys I bought this Verizon G3 for a friend he wants to give it to his family in Europe.
I downgraded to 23C so far and want to install TWRP etc. On T-Mobile G3 it's much easier as just rooting and using TWRP manager and flashing whatever I want.
Anyways after I flash TWRP I can use any rom I want ? or the rom has to be specific for bootloader for example? on T-Mobile G3 I could flash pretty much any rom but one stock where I needed to flash modem+bootloader,then it worked fine.
Also if it safe to unlock the LTE bands? since the phone would be used in Europe that would be very nice to have European LTE bands.
Thanks!

That's completely NOT how this works. You flash this and you'll likely brick your phone.

So only a T-Mobile ROM is compatible with the H830? International ROM won't work?
I suppose as long as the KDZ is a GSM not CDMA,. I tried it already on HTC M9 jumped from T-Mobile RUU to At&t and then to international RUU with no bricking.

You have to be particularly careful with LG phones (and in general). There may be some other models and manufacturers where this could work.
But I think this is rarely the way to obtain sim unlock.
A lot of the times the phones are not identical between regions and flashing a different firmware will totally destroy the phone.
LG in particular doesn't even like you flashing an older firmware onto the phone and instituted an anti-rollback mechanism on some US model phones, where even flashing the correct model's older version would result in a total brick. Yes, you could actually brick your phone by flashing a kdz file, meant for your phone, on LG flashing software, that was just the version prior.

So, in general. We have to wait to unlock the bootloader, root, TWERP and flash custom ROMS into the LG G5 instead of trying to flash a stock KDZ?
These manufacturers are making it harder and harder, we are somehow loosing the flexibility that made us choose Android over IOS.
Hi!! Kinda new here. Can anyone help me or guide me on how to unlock my LG phone? It's locked on T-Mobile network, it was bought in the US and I'm from the Philippines, so it won't accept our local SIM. Can anyone please help me? I also have Galaxy Light it was also locked by MetroPCS TMo still. But I think I saw a post here somewhere.

so i dont know your device model. But i would suggest you to install custom recovery like TWRP if you are rooted and also installing new OS is a good idea lineage has relased updates to latest OS 7 nougat so look for it. But be carefull always look for software compatibile with your device unless you want to brick it !!!
and for unlocking to other operators try Hidden menu --- http://mobilespecs.net/phone/codes/LG/LG_G3_BEAT_D722K.html
I just bought a LG G5 H860. From what I understand it's the Dual SIM version of the H850. However, all of the ROMs listed in this forum are for H850.
Can I use the same ROM for my phone or I'm just out of luck and there's no ROM for my phone? If there's a custom ROM for my phone please let me know. Thanks.
