Hello guys!
I recently found out that my G5's IMEI links my phone to Israel. The weird thing is that my G5 is a H850 model, the EU one. So, if I would flash the EU H850 oreo update would it work on my phone or would i just brick it?
P.S: I'm in Romania
Hi, i have the same H850 with the IMEI registered on Israel, i'm using a kdz from UK and it's perfectly working, so don't worry; I didn't checked the Oreo rom but i think it's gonna work without dobut.
Mine seems to be linked with Switzerland. When I flashed Oreo it asked me on start-up if I wanted to use Switzerland region and I selected "no-'other'. I didn't understand why it was asking me that but as you say OP maybe the IMEI is linked with Switzerland. I bought the fone second hand so I don't know where it was bought originally. Anyway I don't see any issue since I flashed yesterday.

Hi everyone,
I'm having issues with my LG G3 D855! It was originally locked to Optus in Australia, but I have recently wanted to root it. To do this I found I had to downgrade to Android 4.4, which I did successfully using the LG Flash Tool. It worked well, but it messed up at the same time. I actually flashed the European version of 4.4 over instead of an Optus version. As someone with little experience in the field, the European/International version seemed the right one since there was no Australian versions on the site. LG wouldn't replace the firmware unless I coughed up $350, seeing as I voided the warranty. After doing further digging online I found a Telstra version of the LG G3 firmware but the phone repair shop said that flashing a Telstra version over would lock it to telstra and that I would require a Telstra sim to use the phone! At the moment my phone is functioning okay, I'm able to text, call and mobile data and wifi both work. The issue is the missing Australian apps and the many European ones that aren't mine. Also out of curiosity, has the European G3 received 5.0 yet? It didn't show up in the software updater for me. Looking for any advice I can get with this... If you have any further questions about the functionality I will reply as soon as I can.
Thanks!
Hi to all!
This is my first post here.
Couple days ago i purchased LG v10 (F600L) with 64GB of ROM! This is korean model from network U+.
I live in Croatia so I can't use some features from phone, and it's not the major problem.
I wonder if is possible to flash phone with H960 firmware? Via LGUP app from my PC? Is it problem because my phone has no unlocked bootloader and in some posts on the internet I readed I can brick up my phone.
4G does not work either. Probably only korean version of LTE, not supported in Croatia.
So, if I do firmware upgrade via LGUP, with euro-version, will I get phone with only 32GB, will LTE bands be opened to euro-networks?
I didn't say that I can't upgrade my korean version to Android 6.0, via OTA or LG Bridge. It says Cannot check the latest firmware.
So, guys, to do it or stay out of any attempting?
Thanks and regards from Dubrovnik!
Is it true that noone knows?
Cannot, ne mozes! Just try to read a little more about it.
If you click the link you can see there is support for 4G in Croatia.

I can see Croatian operators can offer me LTE 1800mHz only.
So, in suburbs of croatian big cities I have LTE, but only in streets, outside places etc. Whei I enter in some bar or restaurant, LTE wanishes.
I'm on VIPnet Croatia which provides LTE 800/1800. It seems my Korean V10 works only on 1800.
Too bad. Cause, it's good phone. I upgraded recently to Android 6.0 (MM) via link on this forum and it works even better than on 5.1.
On posts on this forum(s) I can see that my device cannot be flashed with another firmware. I've downloaded Turkish version (64GB) but LG UP says Error. It seems I have to root my device, but even than, it's not for sure that all LTE bands will working.
Koreans made the mess by locking with brandings their devices.
@moby77: for what I know, you can't flash a different firmware... a brick is nearly assured.
But you can try this code: 5457#*600# then go to Multi Band Selection and check LTE bands that are available in your Country.
Don't know if that procedure works in your device, but it well worth a try!

I am not sure but most probably flashing wrong firmware will brick the phone. However, one thing I am sure is just flashing the firmware on different version never unlocks the bands of 3G/LTE. These bands cannot be unlocked this way. If F600L does not support a particular band in your country, it will not run LTE no matter what firmware you flash.
F600L is very well locked by Koreans so I san't do anything except flashing new kind of firmware, but one provided from U+ network.
One day I got mad, so I used LG UP, downloaded firmware for Turkish H960, and pressed Start button (it really was pissed off so even I bricked phone, my fault. Totaly insane, but...). After 4% od doing "something" it said Error, cannot flash firmware! (or something like this).
Official os
you have H901-10c official os bcz when i upgred using LGUP my phone is not starting as well as not showing charging sign when i am connect my charger
Hi there,
I tried different versions to test Nougat for H860 Dual SIM model.
H860N HK : Phone runs Okay but networks are unstable (at least for my African Model).
H860 TW : Network is way better and I got Smart Doctor . But I have an NTCode Error on every boot.
Anyone got a link to try H860 AME version ? Anyone got an LG Bridge update ?
Tia
Wait, you got a Taiwan version of nougat.??
Yep
So wait, it exists? I was researching both reddit and all the XDA forums to see if the H860 Taiwan nougar firmware was released, and I havent seen no topic about it!

There's a downloadable link just here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/help/ota-twn-devices-question-t3510207
You must use LGUP and the H860 HK guide thread to update
How is this confirmed to be the Taiwan version?
Nevermind
RIP
I have a SEA build? That's too confusing
Man thats ****ed
LG H860 AME - No bueno
You'd expect the international variants to be one of the first to get the Nougat update, but nothing on LG Bridge or OTA yet.
Today Turkish H860s have been getting their updates finally, hope ours comes soon!
Anyone with a Middle East or African update?
A week into January and there is no information from Telstra about anything to do with its G5.
So i figured I'd ask here if there is anything that can be done to it (Custom Recovery, kdz flashing, etc).
I'm a little confused with the software version as mine displays 505 rather than a region code.
I can't help out.. But I can confirm I'm in the same boat, same '505' software version, bought it outright and unlocked from telstra.. Yet I'm sitting here waiting for the update that LG no doubt worked tirelessly to push..
My question is can we just flash the european H850 kdz over the H850K? as they both have identical hardware specs.. So far as i can tell the branding is the only difference?
If anyone checks this with a different model letter I'd be curious if AIDA64 or another system information tool recognizes the letter variant, as AIDA64 only mentions H850.
Incase you haven't seen this forum yet, if you skip down to posts made in december 2016 onwards, there are plenty of people asking similar questions, seems anyone having bought a G5 from Optus actually has the H850 (non-k) variant.

..got the prompt today.
Currently downloading nougat for the H850K
i think it has to be H805 European model, our 805 Australian model can't do anything.
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)
