Hi,
Does anyone know how I can obtain a Israeli Simcard? I'm traveling to Israel in October and would like a phone that works upon landing. Right now, I use a LG Volt and have it rooted. Can I unlock the phone? Will it accept any Simcard from an Israeli phone provider like Golan Mobile?
Thank you.
I have bought a H930DS in Denmark. It's parallel import.... from Hong Kong i think.
There is no officiel Europe or Nordic firmware on the LG firmware site for this model.
Is it possible to change region any way?
Right now i don't get VoltE og WiFi calling even though i know my provider supports it.

Yes, you can flash India DS firmware over Hong Kong DS firmware. At least in India, it let those users get VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling by changing the region of their H930DS:

India and HK are both global GSM regions. The bands are the same, just like Europe.

Okay.. I bring good news! You can definitely flash any KDZ as long as the model number is exactly the same. I flashed the HK Reginal kdz on my H930DS from India and I now have working VoLTE and VoWiFi.
In short, get the CORRECT kdz of the desired region for your model number, use LGUP, Upgrade option, and let it do its thing. Simple. This keeps the device official and under warranty.
PS - Please backup all data before doing this. Even though it is just an upgrade, play it safe. Just in case!

If you're still within 14 day return period I suggest you do that and get the H930 version.
Here you can get it for 598 EUR (including shipping to Denmark) which is ~4500 DKK so 25% cheaper than you can get it locally.
Warranty?

Hi,
I am planning to get a V30+ H930DS via import from HK to India. I am concerned about the warranty cover. If in case my device misbehaves or I drop it and break the glass build, then will LG India (from my home country) cover it under warranty or will I need to get it serviced from LG HK?

I would guess Hong Kong, just to dissuade you from doing that. If you live in India, they probably want you to buy Indian variant.
Is the H930DS a lot less expensive in Hong Kong than India? I know the regular V30+ was very underpriced at launch in India.

I came across an offer at www.mobizkart.com where the cost of H930DS is roughly 25k INR whereas in India it is 45k INR. Quite tempted. But my concern is the warranty. Also, the device comes with B&O headphones as well. Unsure of what should I do.

Tried it now, but unfortunately it does not result in working VoltE in Denmark. I guess the regional firmware versions contain specific carrier information needed to get VoltE in the region.
Not sure about Denmark, sorry, but in France and in UK (if I believe some british contributors), even if your smartphone (that's not LG related) and firmware supports VoltE, you won't get VoltE.
It will only work with a compatible device with your specific carrier firmware/software... Those versions are only sold by carriers, of course. Not sure it's the case in Denmark, though...
I have installed the latest european Oreo firmware for H930 on my H930DS. Its possible if you want Oreo.

Yeah, a couple of days ago we found out all H930DS can flash the open market European H930 Oreo KDZ. Amazing.
Did anyone actually manage to flash it on the H930D variant (UAE)?
I need my phone functioning in the next week or so, so I'm unable to experiment right now.
Can you tell me if installing this on my H930DS would compromise dual sim functionality? Thanks.

Depends on how you are using the dual SIM. Are you using to get calls on one, but data off the other or calls on both?

I can't vouch for anything with the G6, you'll have to take that risk. I was answering for the H930DS vs H930 for just one SIM. Many people don't even use the 2nd SIM card anyway and the first one works fine on H930.
For those that need both SIM cards, they can flash the newer Hong Kong H930DS Oreo KDZ.
Flashing out of region KDZ may prevent VoLTE from working. India users in particular seem to have that problem. Most people don't NEED VoLTE (on GSM/HSPA/LTE carriers) but Jio carrier in India is different. All they have are LTE bands.

Hi, still waiting for my H930DS to play with...
Checking the link in #13, am I correct that the update kdz for these LG phones is one file for single and dual sim?
I think I have been reading these threads wrong
Coming from HTC, they were 2 completely seperate update files and a big no-no to try to flash the wrong one on the wrong phone.
"H93020d_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0326.kdz
2.94GB
For H930, H930G, H930DS.
This will NOT unlock your bootloader if your phone is not already eligible on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock website. It will only give you stock LG Oreo.

Dear,
Apologies if I put the topic in the wrong place. I bought the LG V60 in a European web shop. (alza shop) But the problem arises with the 5G network the device simply does not have the option "5G network mode" There is only automatic and 2G 3G and LTE. I contacted LG myself and got the following answer.
"There are technical dependences here. These dependencies are different per country.
The V60 is 5G capable (for a limited number of bands though) but it does not work for all providers in all countries.
This depends on the V60 suffix as well. If 5G could not be fully tested for a specific provider it is sometimes switch off in software.
In the Netherlands for example 5G on V60 only works for the KPN provider at the moment (Android 10).
If you put in a different SIM card (so not KPN) the device will not show the 5G option.
This situation will change in the future with SW update"
Is there help here and does anyone have any information related to this? Has anyone had a problem like this and has solved it without waiting for the software update ?

Hi!
In Switzerland is the same: the v60 has 5g active only for swisscom operator. I have it now with yallo/sunrise network and it doesn't show any 5g option.
I tried to flash stock rom from poland but still no effect. Probably the limitation is on the radio part of the rom.
Maybe someone here with more knowledge could shed some light on what is the best approach to take...
I was wondering if just by simply unlock the bootloader (now possible on the european version of the v60) we could get a workaround for unlock the radio limitations...
I bought LG V60 from Taiwan but can't use it at my country , who can help me to unlock network ? Thanks

Only a third party can provide you dialer code to unlock or the first party carrier will unlock it for you(terms and conditions apply).
So ,is need contact Taiwan that side ? Or my country carrier to unlock it?

since its network locked, then youll need to contact the carrier brand the V60 came from see if they can provide unlock for you without restrictions.
Long story short...
I have alway had my personal pones used in Mexico and bought in USA (ebay) I have neve had any issue as far as the phones are GSM unlocked, my last phone was the LG G7, new open box from eBay, I use the phone in Mexico without any problem as well as I use it here in Houston, 4G data, calls, SMS etc..
I arrive 3 days ago to spend time with family and I got a preowned Verizon LG V60 GSM unlocked, as soon as I put my SIM card from ATT Mexico it says Service Disabled and the Network Options are greyed with no option to change anything, I already Crossflash to the US Cellular ROM and still have the same problem, I know the phone is unlocked cause I put a SIM from Telcel and it get signal and Roaming and also detect the networks, my question is, have something changed with the service providers here that blocks the SIM from other countryes?
The only think that I notice is that I have a cheap Samsung A13 from my work In mexico, bought in Mexico and If i put the SIM card there I notice a icon of VoLTE in the signal bar, is that the LG V60 does not support VoLTE?

VOLTE is usually softwarw specific and sim card specific. a tmobile v60 will get you volte on tmobile yes but other operators on tmobile network mabey not. Basically buy the right V60 to go with your sim card and if you carrier operates on tmobile network then get tmobile v60 etc and so forth.
