I keep seeing different listings of the Hi-Fi module on eBay, can anyone confirm is these are legit or fake? Would they work with the US version of the G5 even though they're made for the international version?
won't work dude. give up
There are two modules out so far, the AFD-1210 which is for the Korean variant of the phone and the AFD-1200 that works with the H850. Unfortunately if you have the US version, you are still SOL.

Wonder why att has their own specific version of cam plus (CBG-720). Hope it's just a super-special at&t logo, not something stupid (like restricting device from working on other g5 models)
http://www.lg.com/us/lg-friends/lg-CBG-720.AATTSV-cam-plus
Verizon/sprint/tmobile/us cellular share same model (CBG-700)
http://www.lg.com/us/lg-friends/lg-CBG-700.AVRZSV-cam-plus
Modules are whitelisted on phones - possible for generic module not to work on att's lg g5
(B&O module imported from Europe will not work on USA models)
Hello, found this out the hard way I have the ATT G5 H820 and bought the T-mobile version of the cam plus. It will not even power on after installing the module. Will be returning for correct version.
That makes no sense to me...Why would you, as a company, make carrier versions of hardware accessories? Is there any carrier branding on the CamPlus?

being consumer-friendly is not a trait shared by some carriers/manufacturers

when you get an AT&T version, bring it to a t-mobile store and try it on a tmobile display phone.....
my guess is that it won't work either
There are time when a carrier request the manufacturer to make parts or accessories for their branded product only by inserting a simply code only phone with the same code that can recognized it.
This is probably the case.
these request usually will cost alot for the companies like At&t to pay LG.
It's stupid. I bought the wrong one too not even knowing there were different models of the same thing. Bunk.
Updating the Post
Well, so far.. THis been a year that this was discussed. I bought a camera module for my phone without knowing about the difference between At&T and other ones... Now I got a brand new Cam module that doesn`t work in my AT&T LG G5...
Do you guys know if it is possibile to bypass that by software? Or install a different firmware on the phone that will allow me to use this module?>
Thanks in advance
hey guys i am officially done with samsung after a complete circus ride of an s6. would like to buy a g5 but there are so many flippin variants i don't know what to buy. i'm currently on at&t, and i know they are all against unlocking the boot loader, so which do i get? i saw that the european g5 is the only one to get twrp? i found an H860n on ebay for $561. is this the same variant? thanks in advance.
European variant is H850.
I might get a European version myself. It costs the same if I were to buy it outright in Canada. The only thing I have to verify is the frequencies.

No IT Has to be a H850 from Europe.
H860 is a dualsim LG g5.

You have to be sure that the Phone Comes from a European country.
And like mohsinkhan35 mentioned you schuld check the frequencies
Edit: in a Lot of countrys tmobile is a Network Carrier.
I don think that Helps.
Maybe ask the selber.
Amazon just started selling the RS988 model that is supposedly fully unlocked and supports all the US carrier frequency bands. I just ordered one today - $649.99 + tax, free same day delivery (in some areas - I'm in LA).
http://amzn.to/206SH6F
When I get it, I'll let you know if it is actually fully unlocked.
BestBuy also has fully unlocked G5s.

Clove is where I bought mine... Very reputable seller out of the UK. Myself and some other people on the forums bought their H850 from clove. Got mine via DHL from the UK to Colorado in 2 days!
Verified H850 unlocked, unbranded, and made for UK but listed as EU open. Have had ZERO issues that others report.
Everytime I look at the lg g5 site listing the price goes down.
If u want guaranteed root and twrp go with H850 EU open variant. Do not buy from eBay! Go with Clove or AmazonUK.
Also H850 supports all the band's you'll need unless u decide to join CDMA network. DO not get RS988 , if history has shown us anything about LG, it tells us that variant will only ever be carrier unlocked.

Just a PSA if you get the rs988 do not change or update your imei. Att does not recognize the device in any way and you would be stuck with hspa+ just was on the phone with them had to use my old imei.
Thanks for the clove link. How long does shipping take? Kinda wanting to get one asap.
I am really interested in buying the HiFi Plus module for my lg g5 model no H860. Anyone using it here in India pls let me know...
Indian version phone..Is it working or not compatible?
Yes, it is.
I have the H860, and had the Hi-Fi Plus. I ended up returning the Hi-Fi Plus as it was either faulty, or my car was causing it to play up. I never managed to work out the answer.
EDIT: I might be wrong! I'm looking for the answer because I bought a new Hi-Fi Plus and am having the same issues as before.
the charging port is loose, and I know all my USB C cables are good. Can I replace the bottom with ANY model bottom chin, or it needs to be an H820 like mine is? I want an OEM part, not a knockoff part.
can someone please answer so I know whether to spend 60 bucks on ebay? thanks!!
The chin is a "generic" part of the G5, so yes you can use chins from other G5 models.

I tried the international version chin, and it did not work; it said on the screen "plug in a compatible module." FYI
I have purchased several chins that claim to be compatible with all versions, but they do not work. Does anybody know a way to tell the difference between different chins?
On similar note is there a way arround the issue?

If you look closely there are yellow markings that said
"NA" American Versions
"GL" Global
"SKT" "KR" Korean
"NA"*front *AT&T_XX"from the back of the module: At&t, XX is some random numbers
Also : GET THE RIGHT VERSION IF YOU WANT YOUR CELLPHONE SIGNAL TO REMAIN GOOD. Probably different variants have different antenna frames in the module soo be careful
I have LG g5 ls992 model, I changed with lg g5 h830 motherboard, now I am finding a compatable model module for this. Anyone can help me to find? . No module is not compatable with this board now. Why?
Hello I found 256 GB LG v60's on aliexpress with excellent reviews from people using them around the world. They come in T-mobile and Verizon variant firmwares. I asked the seller to clarify and here is my message:
hello I know a lot about these phones and have a question. The v600n korean is the 256GB model. Your selling V600TM as a 256GB model. That is T-mobile firmware thats been crossflashed over the korean firmware? Is this correct or is the original T-mobile 256GB variant thats very rare? I just know there are officially only 3 variants that came with 256GB. The EA european worldwide international, the korean unreleased v600n, and the very rare T-mobile 256GB variant. So your 256GB models are most likely the v600n variant thats been crossflashed. Can you please confirm if this is accurate? I just want to know exactly what I'm buying since I will be bootloader unlocking and rooting it. Thank you so much. I'm happy with it being the korean v600n thats been crossflashed. I just want to understand better. Thank you very much.
Same thing is found on ebay for an extra $100 with good reviews:

I just have read that the korean v600n can have issues when crossflashed to the international EA firmware. So I'm curious if he used the v600n motherboards how exactly he crossflashed them to be working so well. Thanks for any input.

That is the link to the 256GB models on aliexpress. Im just so curious what they originally were but they must have been the korean v600n that was crossflashed. I'm debating buying just a motherboard and putting it into my mint condition at&t LG v60 while also repairing its charging port and seeing how that goes.
