Hello, sorry my low level of English, I'm Spanish.
It is possible to introduce a stock Rom z2 purchased from a carrier?
thanks
From carrier no
You can use "flashtool" to install a STOCK FTF (rom)
I think he's referring to a stock branded ROM (like the ones from Vodafonea Germany or Orange France that are available now ). If so, yes you can. Download and flash it with FlashTool. But maybe I misunderstood the question.
Well you can unbrand any phone, the bootloader however may be encrypted and not unlockable

Hi,
I have a LG P500, from Movistar - Telefonica Spain.
Firmware is v10b which is the last update it can receive through the official LG mobile update tool.
I've seen that there are ways to get other versions and flash them through KDZ updater. For example this last 2.2.2.
For example in another post it appears AVDZBK, which is vodafone.
However these versions belongs to companies different from mine (movistar).
Taking into account that my mobile is not unlocked, could I proceed anyway?
In that case, can I choose any of this FW or there are unlocked ones?
I'm afraid to download a firmware that is also locked but for a foreign company!!!
Thanks a lot...
Don't do it.
It is not adviced to update your phone to a firmware which may not be supported by your service provider... although rooting/custom recovery and using custom ROM fits the same category XD
But nah, there aren't that many new stuff to make you want to upgrade anyway, custom ROMs such as void are a lot better =)
Well the problem is he won't be able to root his phone to install custom recovery.
Hi,
I purchased an HTC Mozart in a store in Israel and I got a T-Mobile branded phone with only English and German keyboard.
I know there is no official Hebrew keyboard but I don't want the T-Mobile ROM, I would like to have an unbranded ROM so I will get updates from Microsoft and won't be tied to T-Mobile updates.
I'm a noobe in this whole area of ROM and flashing, and I need help understanding the basics.
I saw the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898900 which listed a lot of unbranded ROMs for Mozart phone.
Some questions:
1. How do I find out what is my phone's CID?
2. What will an unbranded ROM allow me to do? Will I get updated directly from Microsoft without T-Mobile?
3. I suppose I can wait until the Hebrew language is official supported and only then get a ROM with the Hebrew language. Is it a right assumption or will our ROMs get the aditional languages as well?
I have this firmware and radio versions:
Firmware: 2250.09.12505.111 (--> 1.25.111.05)
Radio: 5.50.09.18_22.24.50.09U
Thanks,
Raanan
I swear there was a thread by ansar who describied a way to unbrand Mozart without all this Gold Card (and especially Y-cable) hassle. I can't find it for some reason anymore.
With regard to your question 2, I suspect you'll get two things after unbranding - you'll get updates faster, and you will be able to flash ROMs that support your language when it's added. You won't see Hebrew keyboard on your T-Mo De phone till cows come home.
Now if only I could find that thread...
I think you mean this thread:

My brazilian cousin bought an unlocked atrix on amazon and received a retail italian Atrix, which doesn't have brazilian portuguese language (and have other problems, like number formatting, etc).
Is it possible to flash a brazilian retail firmware without unlocking the bootloader, or at least install another language to the system?
thanks
An official, wich is signed, surely.

Hey guys,
im really desperate about this. I searched for 2 hours but could not find a single firmware from german t-mobile. It doesnt matter which one, of ics or gb. I need the branded firmware for a warranty case. I hope you can help me.
not needed relock bootloader then use pc companion
Firstly thank you but could you be a little more detailed. Is the branded rom flashed when i restore with PC Companion.or what am i supposed to do with the tool? I dont have time to test it now.
Thank you for your replies,
alphaboy
The relock botlooader file you will find in xs development topic with all explication then use pc companian .branded firmware usealy mean some apps from your mobile operator

If i restore with PC Companion i will get the stock unbranded firmware, but what i need IS the branded firmware with the startup logo and the apps.
Its about my local t-mobile shop accepting the warranty case. They could deny it if they see the device is unbranded..
Just a ideea relock bootloader and make a bootloop,the rest is up to you to lie them that you have receive an update etc...

I'm looking for the latest USA factory unlocked firmware for the Stylo 4 (KDZ file), does anyone know where I can find that? I have looked everywhere I can think of and everyone has carrier specific firmware, but not the one I am looking for.
The specific model is LMQ710ULM.AUSABK.
The IMEI is: 357183090498307

It is the unlocked model sold directly by LG in the USA, so it is non-carrier firmware.

Hi there,
You can try this website.
https://lg-firmwares.com/
or
https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-lmq710ulm-firmwares/#tab=firmwares
since your phone is network unlocked I think it might be safe to reinstall the firmware.
However, if you have your doubts feel free to search it online or ask LG directly.

Thank you. I found out that they never released the KDZ for the factory unlocked phones (region USA). So, the only way to update my phone would be to flash carrier firmware, which, is kinda risky, since it would technically be a crossflash. I would likely lose certain features, such as Wi-Fi calling and/or VoLTE. One of the few firmwares that supports wi-fi calling is the T-Mobile firmware, but I wouldn't flash that firmware because it is different than the hardware of my phone (their model has 2 GB of RAM, mine has 3 GB of RAM, etc...

Hi there,
Yes, while I was researching it online I found two firmware for this phone for the US region. But anyways have you tried using a PC suite from LG to reinstall the firmware. Or have you tried going on to the recovery mode and just reset the whole device. Or better try to install a custom ROM, to be honest I think it might be okay if you flashed a Europe region firmware, but make sure you back up the current firmware. I flashed a Samsung phone which was used to be locked and then I unlocked it after that I flashed the carrier firmware and it didnt carrier locked my phone. But anyways try your best.
