Is it possible to remove the T-Mobile branding on an LG Wing mobile phone? I purchased one from eBay and the seller was based in the US and I am in Australia.
I would like to know if I can flash a stock firmware or remove the branding as it is pretty baked in and not wanted.
The model number I have is a LM-F100TM.

I'm pretty sure via flashing with LGUp you can do that. Its a dangerous game though. It can brick if you aren't safe
Can you flash a different variants firmware though and has anyone successfully done it?
It's working well enough apart from the T-Mobile bloat, but I'd love it to not have that extra crud.

You can on the demo models everyone's buying off ebay. There's been mixed information about if you can or can't with regular carrier devices. Generally though it seems like you can't

Fair enough, I may leave it as it is working as it is supposed to and the bloat does not worry me too much.

LG has started to sell the international version D802 in Hong Kong since last week.
Is it available in other countries yet?
So far I only see we got some developments for US carrier and Korean variant but none for international.
Can't wait to see the roms for international variant!

I do! I'm in Singapore, the telcos here all sell the D802.
Do you have root running on it? I'm not sure if IO root works on it(don't dare to void my warranty yet, especially with the root check software LG built in)
IOroot works on D802! I rooted my phone already.
SERIOUS. I'll do it tomorrow
Anything popping up anywhere on a "modified status" or such? I supposed TWRP should work too right ^^

IKR. Best part is that it's cheaper than the other top end devices out there *Note 3*

Ahwell :/ What do you think could cause that? I have no idea how to build roms/kernels/recoveries but I think (hope) it's a few small tweaks to the installer

Because they are slightly different, someone needs go on IRC to give the devs the aboot and recovery images and then test it out.

hello , quick question about rooting the LG G2 (or any other phone in this case). Can I root the phone and leave all the software and functionalities, gimmicky software, bloatware intact ? The only reason I'm looking forward to root this phone is to install Cerberus Rooted Version. And can I unroot the phone afterward so not to avoid warranty ? Thanks
I really wouldn't mind doing that Worst case scenario is a fresh firmware flash right?

They are unlocked too.
I have dealt with this company before and they accepted an RMA of a phone that I had bricked myself so they are decent.
I am not a representative of the company at all.
yeah picked one up for wifey.
Make sure you remove the back of the phone to check the model number if you have any intention of flashing custom roms.

This seems like a good suggestion. I bought a D802 online from this vendor and ended up bricking it trying to upgrade the software using the kdz flash tool. I never figured out why it got bricked but it could have been that it was not actually a D802. It is hard to say though. See my posts for my issues I had with bricking from using the kdz flash tool.
Buyer beware and proceed with caution. Again, I am not a rep of this company and I am not liable for anything that might happen to your phone.

The D800 is the US AT&T model and the D802 is the international version. From my understanding LTE with the D802 will not work in the US. I bought a D800 from another vendor and have no problem with it. It works great with 4G LTE on Smart Talk and I got all my software upgrades through AT&T. The vendor I bought it from on eBay is no longer selling them though.
Sold almost 4000 and still going!

You must verify if lte bands of your carrier are supported but f320 is better because of removable battery, ext sdcard and first lg lollipop support....

Simple, they srew up Updates. It's absolute nonsense that the Providers in the US still provide Devices with own Firmwares.
They stoped doing that Years ago in other Countries since the Device Firmwares get more and more complex.
It does also slow down the whole Update release speed for new Updates from the OEM's. A free Device is always the better choice...
Let's see how long it takes till You get Nougat...

Just got my V30 Moroccan Blue from 1&1 (only available with a two year contract).
The screen is fine, no banding or clouding. I can see some slight light bleed around the edges and the already mentioned color changes when viewing the phone at an angle. Besides that, I can't find anything wrong with it.
Do you guys have any questions or want me to try something with this phone?
Post some live pictures of it. Interested in the blue color.
Same here in UK,preordered the silver colour but thinking to go for the Morrocan Blue.Some pics and thoughts would be nice....
Sent from my LG-H870 using Tapatalk
The phone feels very nice, no real issues so far (see first post). The blue color is beautiful to look at and the glass back has a premium feeling to it.
For my personal taste, the phone feels a bit too smooth, I'm afraid to have it slip out of my hands. But that can be solved by using a case.
When it comes to software, there's not much to say. Everything works as expected. There's some LG bloatware installed, but besides that nothing. I can confirm, that the phone supports the european Gallileo satellites.
The bootloader is of course locked.
Hi mate!
Could you please make a dump of your /system folder? Try with some file explorer first (easy way)

Hello!
Couple of questions:
1) Are there B&O headphones in the box?
2) Is it single SIM or dual SIM?
Thanks!
Jealous that you got the international version single SIM at the earliest, which is bootloader unlocked! I hope here in UAE , LG should sell this variant instead of dual SIM in most LG flagships, if not , I'll order LG H930 from online like eBay, Amazon etc ! I know in the future, you or LG H930 users will enjoy rooting the best phone in the world, or install custom kernel for some modding fun! LG V20 got some cool modding stuff in the XDA like custom fast charging without further heating up the phone , some very cool custom kernel stuff etc! Now the Samsung's flagships like the Galaxy Note 8, S8 etc their unlocked variants in XDA has cool mods like QHD (2K) @60fps , Open Camera which performs much better than stock camera! I really am eager in the future the unlocked LG V30 should have lots of unleashed capabilities!

It's not SIM locked to a carrier. 1&1 is an ISP and a third party seller for phone contracts. The phones themselves are unlocked and can be used with on any network.

You need to register for a LG developer account in order to unlock the bootloader. There's a list of offically supported devices. When the LG V30 is put on that list, you can request an unlock code from LG. With the bootloader unlocked, you can flash a custom recovery, roms, etc. The downside to all this is, that you loose your LG warranty when you unlock you phone.
So, currently, there's no way to unlock the bootloader. We'll have to wait for news from LG. When the first developers unlock their bootloaders, root and custom roms will follow soon after.

As far as i know this phone has the frequency for vodafone 5G service so i am confused why its never worked.
I have given up on this. I just assumed if the phone is 5G and has the correct frequency there should be no issuue if the phone was not purchased in the UK. It is unlocked because i have used o2 and voda on it and it works fine. JUST NOT FOR 5G.
