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.

I'm sorry if my questions are dumb or already posted
Here where I live (Indonesia) we only got LG G5 SE, I don't know what the model number is but Google said it might be H840
My question is, is it possible to unlock the bootloader and root this model number?
And are there any custom vanilla roms for h840?
Because I'm a long time nexus 5 user, and my nexus 5 is getting a lot of trouble now (battery quickly runs out, GPS not working, vibrate module dead). I just can't stand the LG's OS, I'm already used to vanilla android
And if it's not possible to get a custom rom for h840, I might not getting this G5 SE to replace my Nexus 5
I'm waiting for your answers. Thanks in advance
The G5 SE is a different phone, it doesn't have a Snapdragon 820, but a Snapdragon 652 SoC (IIRC).
So the ROMs for the regular G5 won't work, you need different drivers etc.
Currently, only the European G5s can be bootloader-unlocked, I assume that for the G5 SE it's the same. So you won't be able to unlock your bootloader, root your phone etc.
So if nobody unlocked the bootloader of the G5 SE via some hack, you will be completely out of luck.
My advice: Don't simply buy such a phone and assume that somebody will hack the bootloader. Only buy it if you can live with a non-rooted phone with the stock LG firmware.

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.

Were you able to make VoLTE work with Reliance Jio? I am also looking for the same. But, mine is a T-mobile (H830) version. Currently, I am using it with Jio4GVoice.
Hi,
I recently got the V30+ for a really cheap price but I got the Korean KT version. So my question is if it's possible to rebrand it to the open European version?
Thanks for your answers.

The word you are looking for is not re-brand but convert. You want to convert it to H930.
You could do it with custom LGUP file -- convert one V30 variant to another -- but you would lose cellular connectivity and would at most only have Wi-Fi. There are people who do this for development reasons, convert one variant to another, but it's only on temporary basis while they do what's needed -- then they flash it back. With the V20 one dev created a method to flash to another variant firmware that wasn't patched yet for Dirty Santa. They were able to convert AT&T V20 to another V20 model, unlock bootloader, install TWRP -- then use that TWRP to flash back to TWRP-flashable zipped AT&T firmware, and still retain unlocked bootloader and TWRP custom recovery.
During that time the AT&T V20 was "temporarily" recognized as another V20, their SIM card didn't work, they had no cellular connectivity -- but they still had Wi-Fi and could sideload stuff.
This is actually a method being considered to root the T-mobile H932 V30:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75196964&postcount=296
But it won't help you, because it's only meant to be a temporary stage. You would lose important functionality.
Does anyone know whether or not another security update will come to the LG v30 and if so, when?

Yes, of course it will.
But you don't say WHICH V30 you have? How do you know you have the latest? There's about two dozen different V30 variants. 12 or 13 for North America alone!
LG releases updates at different times for each variant, not all at the same time. About every 3 months.
I keep half a dozen KDZ threads current with latest KDZ. Others you can get from site like LG-Firmwares.com.
V31a-EUR-XX is the most recent with November security update.

For EU H930 and compatible with all other H930 variants.
That's why I wanted to know what variant he had. A batch of North American updates should be coming soon.
