Before the start, Sorry for my bad English.
I bought the g5, month ago. And i think it's time to root it.
So i search for G5 Root. Result said Because of bootloader, H830 is impossible now but H850 is possible. But my G5's model number is F700. I'm so confused but still searching about F700 but there no result.
So i want to know is there any way to root my G5 or which is F700's other number? H830? or H850? or it just other one?
Same?
same here sigh
A week into January and there is no information from Telstra about anything to do with its G5.
So i figured I'd ask here if there is anything that can be done to it (Custom Recovery, kdz flashing, etc).
I'm a little confused with the software version as mine displays 505 rather than a region code.
I can't help out.. But I can confirm I'm in the same boat, same '505' software version, bought it outright and unlocked from telstra.. Yet I'm sitting here waiting for the update that LG no doubt worked tirelessly to push..
My question is can we just flash the european H850 kdz over the H850K? as they both have identical hardware specs.. So far as i can tell the branding is the only difference?
If anyone checks this with a different model letter I'd be curious if AIDA64 or another system information tool recognizes the letter variant, as AIDA64 only mentions H850.
Incase you haven't seen this forum yet, if you skip down to posts made in december 2016 onwards, there are plenty of people asking similar questions, seems anyone having bought a G5 from Optus actually has the H850 (non-k) variant.

..got the prompt today.
Currently downloading nougat for the H850K
i think it has to be H805 European model, our 805 Australian model can't do anything.
Hi to all,I'd like to buy a mobile LG's G5 and I found it with code F700.But I also see that here at Greece it is selling code H850.So I'd like to ask if anyone knows about the differences between the 2 versions F700 and H850?What these code means?About the network or what?Just to mention that I've allready asked LG Official support at Greece and they don't know nothing to help about.
Is there any opinions?Thank You

Korean version (F700) vs. EU version (H850).
F700 can't unlock bootloader -> can't root.
H850 can root.
And the supported basebands are different between these 2 variants (you should google more).

If it's actually an F700 model number, the seller has no idea what he's talking about and/or lying to you. The only versions that have bootloader unlock are:
H850
H830
RS988
H840 SE
Out of the above models, only the h850, h830 and rs988 have root. Only the h830 and h850 have custom ROMs.
Hopefully this helps.
Hi and yes,your post is helping a lot.So I think the seller has no idea about LG5 and telling just what he think is good to sell.I am afraid I have to quit fron his store and find another one,more reliable.
Thanks for your post.

No problem. I don't want to see you buy something thinking you can root / use custom ROMs only later to find out you can't. A lot of sellers think that sim unlocked is same thing as bootloader unlocked because they have no clue, although some just simply lie to sell a phone they don't want too. Either way, best thing to do is research and ask questions first like you did. As far as the bands needed, I'd check Google to see what bands your carrier uses and then check to see if the h850 will work on those bands. Also, be careful when buying an h850 as it must be h850 EU market model (I don't believe they ever added support for carrier specific versions of the h850, bit not 100% sure).
@jeffsga88 H840 SE version has unlock bootloader,correct?Can I root it then if I buy it?

Yes, the 840 SE can be bootloader unlocked through lg although currently can not root or anything yet we there's still no TWRP currently. Once TWRP is built, root can easily be done. Also make sure it's 840 SE (non carrier version) as others with different 840 models weren't able to unlock and some were.
Volte on lg G5 f700
This question may be a bit off topic, but is there a way for me to enable volte on my phone?
I live in India but had a friend get me an lg G5 f700s from korea. I've checked in settings and couldn't find any options to enable volte.
Will it be possible if I switch roms? If so, where can I find a guide? I'm new to xda and don't know much about rooting/ switching rooms.
Thanks in advance! Also let me know if I've left out any details while writing this post.

Go to the hidden menu by dialing 5457#*700# and from there you should be able to enable that function.

How did you replace the bottom module?
Hello,
I live in Switzerland and a few months ago I had the very bad idea to buy a second hand LG G5 sim-unlocked but tied to AT&T.
AT&T being AT&T, they don't release firmware updates (nougat, oreo or security patches) outside US ...
In order to bypass this "situation", I thought of 2 "new" solutions, BUT i NEED some advise and info by American citizens :
1) Buy a AT&T sim card that works abroad ... for updating a firmware which is 2gb ?
I really need someone to point me to the right "solution" in this case...
2) Buy a H850 "motherboard" to bypass the "h820" ?
Is this a solution ?
In other words, if I replace the h820 motherboard by a h850 one, will I be to upgrade my phone to Oreo and the latest security patches ?
Be kind, if you know the answer, just give me the info you have !

Just flash the latest with lgup if you have a PC on your hands. 100 percent free and also the fastest.
My LG V60 was an ATT version, and is now rooted and cross flashed to t mobile firmware. I tried getting the code through the ATT website, and they said they can't approve the unlock request.
So from what I've read online, a phone has to be on its original network for a certain number of days to be able to be unlocked, how does this work? Is there any way around this? Is there something I can do on a rooted phone to fix this, or can carrier aggregation fix this? (what they're doing here:
Enabling Carrier Aggregation LG V60
Hi, Can someone post the carrier policy files of the LG V60 LMV600EA version ? I need this files to enable carrier aggregation on my canadian V60. Thanks
