hello
I recently purchased a LG g5 but to my dismay it was a Korean variety. I purchased a used phone online and the person sent me the phone. I tried to open it but everything is in Korean. can I change the rom like the international g5 and make it English suitable for me?
thank you
Found solution
Search on YouTube a tutorial from f0il he used another of phone but works on lg G5 also. Got workaround to enable the unknown sources which I could install apk to bypass frp and factory reset the phone. Big thumbs up for f0il.

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.
All above model of lg g5, which one should I buy?

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

Ok... So I have tried all the possible ways of rooting my phone V10 H960A but failed. I cant unlock my bootloader because my phone is UAE Middle East variant and the LGE official bootloader unlock site says that it isn't allowed to be bootloader unlocked. All I want is the unlock.bin for unlocking my bootloader... All I am thinking is that if anybody having a european variant which can be officially bootloader unlocked, can share his unlock.bin file with me so I can unlock my phone bootloader. Please anybody? Can you help???
[emoji3][emoji3][emoji3]....
Dude this - unlock.bin is the Whole game....
No one has this file ... Every body wants to unlock bootloader
But... Till now now way is found...
No official support I think...
Keep trying... Gud luck

The Unlock.bin File is generated by your IMEI Number. It's only for one Phone, Your's. No other Phone in the hole World would use it or unlock it. Have u proof a VPN? And then try to Unlock the Bootloader on the LG Site? What is if you try to Sideload? Have you look of existing Tools or a App that can do it? What Model is Your V10? My Model is h960a with the Android 7 ATR Turkey Rom.
Write us if you find anything in the internet.
One Question to you, why you have too Unlock your V10? If you Unlock that Bootloader and Flash a Custom Rom that Second Display won't work either and the Google Play Store have a new Security Software in the Store that control's if your Smartphone has Root and Custom Rom installed.
If that happens, the Play Store won't give you any App or Game to download. And, for Nougat don't exist a Tool or anything to Root that V10 yet.
If you find anything, please tell us here and Post it to all the Users they also have or had that same Problem like you...

Try too Flash with that LGUP Tool a other Original Rom from a other Country. But, you have to think about the Size of the ROM! 32GB or 64GB Flash Size!

I have Lg V10 H961N hongkong
But unlocking bootloader is supported only for

And only on MARSHMALLOW.
NOT AFTER NOUGAT...
I think We all have to wait for any magic other than official unlocking...

Oh, it's really [emoji22] i think. I don't know that only the h960a Modell is Supported. I don't think that LG the Unlock Models Upgrades to your Model and the other Models. Have you 64GB of ROM installed @ your V10? Have you think about to change only the Motherboard of the V10? It's a question about the Price but, that is a Idea i think or what is your thinking about?

I wanna unlock my bootloader because around 80% of the forums on rooting V10 H960A suggest a pre-unlocked bootloader before proceeding to the "ROOTING" process. I cant get my phone unlocked. I have been trying since last semester when I purchased this phone. I cant a f******g solution to this UAE model. Damn you LG.. Your policy sucks big time. I wont go for another LG phone ever in my life. I think I have tried doing this LGUP flashing thingy with 32GB ROM, but then the phone gets stucked at LG BOOTSCREEN or continously keep on bootloop and reboot loop.... Can you suggest some working Android 6.0 pre-rooted rom for my phone variant ????

Hi, Not without problems, still fighting with it. Actually crossflash has happened but there are issues now. Is there any chance that you could prepare a dump of your version? It would be helpful for extract the boot.img from it.
I can crossflash at&t variant to EA with the help of firehose. Could you share a back up of your modem_a partition? I want to see what carrier is supported in the this variant.
I can not reach any of the files actually. What I did is that crossflashed my Docomo variant to EA which went without error. But NT code is not matching now and there is no bootloader unlock option. Not only the LG stopped to provide unlock.bin but bootloader menu is not available. If you reach there on any way the device is restarting in normal mode. I was thinking in many possibilities but not sure if any is feasible. tried to change between many EA ROMS. Also I was thinking after all to do the chip erase by LGUP. As the PDM is not working now probably would not work after erase, in that case one more step only bacward. By the way I dont know why the LGUP can not touch the device in the blue factory mode. That is the point where the PDM set can not be done for the NT change. Otherwise root or bootloader unlock would not be important to me about other reason than replace bootloader to the EA version.

Same here. If anyone has a docomo kdz please let us know.
LG v60 51a does not have kdz.
But if you update outside of Japan, try it like a link. I tried it in the Korean community and confirmed that it was updated.
Cross-flash will be difficult in a general way.
The partition composition is different between the US version and the European version.
