Hello xda forum members
I've noticed that the ROMs for the G2 mini are only for the models D620 or D620R,
my device is D620FR so what im asking is if I will install a ROM for D620\D620R on my device, will it brick?
Thanks In Advance!

Hi Vangelis1608,
I found this site that provides all the stock firmwares of lg g2 mini variants. I have the d620r. As i read in the other post the d620/r/fr are carrier's games. I bought one from a shop here in Greece (From Arta) that imports g2 minis from italy. The carrier is TIM. So i want to install the stock lg firmware without all the [email protected] that tim has installed. In your opinion which one should i install the NEU or the ITA/Italy? I wont brick it right?
I want to add that i removed as many tim apps and the boot animation that tim added after rooting it. But after 2 months apps crash and i lose app icons. Thats why i want to instal the stock rom.
Thanks for your time

NEU.
If you check the list, under Italy, TIM is for D620R which also confirms my previous assumption that D620fr is, in fact, D620r in hardware and that the 'fr' is only on software level. This also implies that all variants starting with 'D620' are the D620R and simply they are branded, to 'scare' people so that they won't flash the unbranded firmware.
As a result, flashing stock firmware (for D620R) on any D620xx variant will only remove the [email protected] restrictions placed by carriers (TIM, in your case) and will not brick the device.

Hi,
All the fw's in the link are original ones.... u can either port the NZ one or Australian version or Indian version or the UK one.... There are versions like 10A, 10B, 10C .... Go for either 10A or 10B because the latter one's can't be rooted.
Also, avoid using swearing words in this community bro, the moderators mite even delete ur account.

What are the differences between D620 and D620r ?
And if I have D620, can i unlock bootloader with this method ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/g2-mini/development/bootloader-unlock-t2827748
Las one. Will be here some step by step tutorial how to unlock the D620 phone?
Thank you very much
Is your D620 branded? If so, your carrier may have removed the 'r' on software level, meaning that the hardware may be D620r.
Either way, the BL unlock method should work.

I have branded D620, and in hardware information it says "D620". As Vagelis1608 says, it may be d620r, but who knows. Anyway, this method successfully unlocked my BL.
Unlocking isn't that hard, just read every step carefully, and inform yourself about steps you don't understand. When you're sure in what you're doing, then unlock it.

In order for 4G to work on this phone, your provider has to support LTE.
In my case (Cosmote GR) only supports GSM.

You probably have installed a big game or two which are taking up your memory.
Or, if your phone is branded, then your carrier may have pre-installed a lot [email protected] on it.

Hi, i wanted to know if there's a way to make a D620J (japanese) on a different region, more precisely on Latin America.
I've tried using a different region firmware, but LG Flash Tool doesn't work... So i ran out of ideas
Thank you
maybe you can flash your region modem via terminal, you can extract it with lg kdz extractor
Try to flash the unbranded firmware of Latin America (yes, for D620R, don't worry, it will work)
If it doesn't work, then give us the error so that we can help you.

Ok, first of all which Flash tool did you use? You should use this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190
The second question where did you download firmware from? I suggest this site:
http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=57
Then, which firmware did you download (if you downloaded some)? Try to choose some other region from South America cause there are mostly D625 variants (Tegra version).
PS.
Watch for the supported network frequencies cause Japanese version has some different ones (http://www.lg.com/jp/mobile-phone/lg-D620J).

If you want to know when you will receive it, you have to ask LG or your provider for branded phones.

Branded version aren't actually locked, this happens only for american carriers.
In Europe branded versions are just... Formality. If you want, you can wait until the official release for your phone, but you are able to flash the kdz without problems.

Wise and respectable choice, remember that using a firmware not designed for your exact version invalidates the warranty. But if you flash later your exact firmware (can be found online through youilr IMEI), warranty comes back.
Also, no one knows when will it be released, it should happen within 1-2 weeks max.

Hello Everyone,
I want to ask if anyone has any experience with unlocking the LG G2 Mini. I have reserched a while and it seems to be there is no way of unlocking it for free. A link to a trustworthy, not too expensive website for unlocking codes would be helpfull!
Btw: just flashing a new custom ROM doesn't unlock the phone.
Thanks
Flash an unbranded stock kdz.
Then, whatever ROM you want.
Your carrier probably added the lock on the bootstack.

LG releases its stock ROMs in kdz format, which you can flash with LG Flash Tool.
I believe it contains all the partitions on the phone (though I could be wrong about this).

Sorry for being so late with my response. I flashed a kdz-Stock ROM quite a while ago now and it didn't worked out in my case. So the lock seems to be somewhere deeper in the phones software.
My research wasn't very successful because everybody just want to sell a unlockcode not give an solution :/.

Are you sure it's unbranded?
If it has your provider's codename on it, then it's branded.
Flash one with the codename of the country (or general area) you live in.
What is the name of the kdz you flashed?

Try flashing the actual bootstack from the Original Dev section.
If that doesn't work, then the lock is somewhere else.
Maybe in the partition that holds the IMEI. I don't know.
I can't help you much.
Flashed the Kitkat baseband from this thread (D620r):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g2-mini/development/bootstack-kk-l-unknown-baseband-imei-t3142805
But unfortunately it didn't helped. This Provider knows how to let his customers pay .
Thanks anyways for your help and patience. Appreciate you!
