New to LG G5, wondering if it´s safe to flash other region stock ROM on same model(and hardware, I guess).
For example, my H860 is TWN version(v20a) and would like to try SEA(v20b). Any thoughts/XP? 3G/LTE bands issues?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, as long as it's H860. No issues on signals and bands. I tried it myself and it's working fine.

I would love to flash this ROM to get rid of the SIM Lock on the T-Mobile version.

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.
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.
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)

Hi there fellas, I have a silly question:
I have a LG G5, RS988 version currently working on the RS98810h version (Nougat). I've been facing problems with WiFi HotSpot (I have a togle available but I can't configure it) and that made me wonder whether if it is possible or not installing a KDZ from a different region (e.g.: H850, H860, etc.) to a RS988.
Any ideas or volunteers? Thanks in advance for your time :highfive:
you had to root, install a custom recovery, install an old kdz for the rs988, then install the right one and have to be a kdz for rs988 only!!! RS98810h is for brightpoint and this have no hospot option, i had to do all of this to fix mine, i installed 10h by mistake.

Hi everyboby
I not found the MirroLink option on my LG G5 H860.
It's normal ?
Because it's a Hong Kong ROM version ?
if yes, it's possible to update by the H850 ROM ? even with dual sim for the H860 no problem ?
Thank you for you help.
Have a good day.
Hi there,
You are not advised to attempt flashing ROMs that are not meant for your model.
If you own a H860N, only flash ROMs for H860 or H860N. Do NOT try flashing H850 ROMs to a H860/H860N or your phone will be bricked.
Hi yuiho
Thanks you for your help.
Where can I find the mirrorlink option in my LG G5 H860 ?
How to make the option appear ?
Thanks.
