As the title says, its it possible to flash H960 international version firmware on H901 T Mobile version? I really don't like carrier variant devices with all their bloatware and some tht can't be disabled.
If it's possible or of anyone has tried it, leave a comment. I would to try that out too but after considering everyone's opinions.
Thanks
Don't try it. To my knowledge, that is a good way to brick your phone for good. Firmwares are strictly dedicated to their hardware device versions.
Just debloat the T-mobile firmware. After rooting of course.

Hi @zohaib anwar, For LG h901, Try radeonmaya v4 on www.lgviet.com. it is really smooth and stable. It is a porting for our h901, the theme is beautiful and looks like G5 and fm radio is working well.

That's completely NOT how this works. You flash this and you'll likely brick your phone.

So only a T-Mobile ROM is compatible with the H830? International ROM won't work?
I suppose as long as the KDZ is a GSM not CDMA,. I tried it already on HTC M9 jumped from T-Mobile RUU to At&t and then to international RUU with no bricking.

You have to be particularly careful with LG phones (and in general). There may be some other models and manufacturers where this could work.
But I think this is rarely the way to obtain sim unlock.
A lot of the times the phones are not identical between regions and flashing a different firmware will totally destroy the phone.
LG in particular doesn't even like you flashing an older firmware onto the phone and instituted an anti-rollback mechanism on some US model phones, where even flashing the correct model's older version would result in a total brick. Yes, you could actually brick your phone by flashing a kdz file, meant for your phone, on LG flashing software, that was just the version prior.

So, in general. We have to wait to unlock the bootloader, root, TWERP and flash custom ROMS into the LG G5 instead of trying to flash a stock KDZ?
These manufacturers are making it harder and harder, we are somehow loosing the flexibility that made us choose Android over IOS.
Hello!
Is it possible to downgrade the LG G5 (H850 from Orange Romania) from a newer FW to an older one? Currently i'm on V10a and i'm trying to get used to the battery life so i wish to know what my options are in case i decide to update and things don't go well. My previous phone was Samsung S5+ (and before that S3) and switching from different FW's was easy.
I really appreciate any help you can provide.
Yes you can, there is always a possibility that in the future lg will add a anti-rolback function, but it never happened on the International variant
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.

Hi,
it is possible to debrand H930 with Polish Plus firmware? My firmware is: V10e-260-01 - can i reflash open europe firmware - i found files: H93010f_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0925.kdz and H93010v_00_OPEN_EU_OP_1120.kdz which one will be suitable for this operation?
Flash the newest open: H93010v_00_OPEN_EU_OP_1120.kdz
It will remove all carrier apps and boot/power off splash animations if you have it.
I've done it on my Italian H930 TIM carrier branded and it got rid of the above.
You do not need to unlock bootloader to do this. Use Uppercut + LG UP trick.
You also do not have to wipe all your data, mine works just fine without any wiping.
I done it as you described but now in version i see: 10v-260-01 - its looks like branded but there is not brand - why version is with carrier number?
And LG Bridge as repair downloads branded firmware... so its not worked.
But splas screen changed from branded to LG Generic... strange...

Having troubles understanding what you're saying.
You say that carrier's splash screen is gone and carrier's apps are gone then everything worked as it was supposed to.
Why did you use LG's repair? Because firmware number is wrong?
Ok, lets try less chaotic
Firmware upgraded with LGUP and kdz file - splash screen looks like original firmware but in firmware version i see firmware correct but with extension -260-01 like branded...
When i try to check LG bridge recognise as branded and try to download branded firmware too.

Ah yeah I understand now, you want to get rid of the MCC and MNC code which in your case is 260 - Poland, 01 - Plus.
I don't think there's a known way to remove that..yet. Maybe some kind of dial code exists but I'm unaware.
You will still receive OTA and the branding will never come back so I don't think you should worry about it too much.
Edit: Found this thread for LG G5 https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/how-to/cust-error-solution-t3507311
It might work for us too, but you need to be rooted. Haven't tried myself yet. Secret menu code for V30 H930 is *#546368#*930#

Afaik H930G is just H930 with extra storage so it should theoretically work...
Maybe someone with more experience will help you.

I have the same question here, can someone with more experience or with the actual device H930G confirm this?
Since H930 models are only 64gb variants, I wonder if their firmware will work with H930G V30+ 128GB.
Thank you!
I have the same question. Has someone tried to flash the H930 firmware on a H930G (version with 128 GB)

I'm looking for the latest USA factory unlocked firmware for the Stylo 4 (KDZ file), does anyone know where I can find that? I have looked everywhere I can think of and everyone has carrier specific firmware, but not the one I am looking for.
The specific model is LMQ710ULM.AUSABK.
The IMEI is: 357183090498307

It is the unlocked model sold directly by LG in the USA, so it is non-carrier firmware.

Hi there,
You can try this website.
https://lg-firmwares.com/
or
https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-lmq710ulm-firmwares/#tab=firmwares
since your phone is network unlocked I think it might be safe to reinstall the firmware.
However, if you have your doubts feel free to search it online or ask LG directly.

Thank you. I found out that they never released the KDZ for the factory unlocked phones (region USA). So, the only way to update my phone would be to flash carrier firmware, which, is kinda risky, since it would technically be a crossflash. I would likely lose certain features, such as Wi-Fi calling and/or VoLTE. One of the few firmwares that supports wi-fi calling is the T-Mobile firmware, but I wouldn't flash that firmware because it is different than the hardware of my phone (their model has 2 GB of RAM, mine has 3 GB of RAM, etc...

Hi there,
Yes, while I was researching it online I found two firmware for this phone for the US region. But anyways have you tried using a PC suite from LG to reinstall the firmware. Or have you tried going on to the recovery mode and just reset the whole device. Or better try to install a custom ROM, to be honest I think it might be okay if you flashed a Europe region firmware, but make sure you back up the current firmware. I flashed a Samsung phone which was used to be locked and then I unlocked it after that I flashed the carrier firmware and it didnt carrier locked my phone. But anyways try your best.
Sincerely
