Hi, I own a d802 from hk, I flashed the Open European rom, but there's no way to change the country sales code, so I won't receive the European OTAs. Furthermore, if I plug the device to the lg suite, it will reinstall the HK rom.
Anyone has a solution?
Nobody?

Suppose in the case I bricked my phone and I don't know the baseband version of it. Now what is the option to recover? Flash stock firmware via Odin but don't know the baseband??? What will happens if I flash another country stock firmware?? Will the phone hard brick?? Or it will work fine?? Thank you
The worst case is that your sim card will not work with that software. This is only if your phone is carrier locked.
If it is unlocked, or neverlocked as others put it, then you can flash any firmware you like, as long as it is for your respective phone model.

Make sure that this phone isn't locked to O2 or any UK carrier.

You should flash Nepal firmware then. It would give you better (more match) CSC code. The CSC (Consumer Software Customization) code contains the info about software packages specific to a particular region, carrier branding and also APN (Access Point Name) settings for data connection.
In my case, my S4 i9500 was made in Vietnam and when I received it, it had a Thailand firmware on it. It is a network unlocked phone. I live in USA. The first lollipop firmware came out was for Russia. So I flahsed the Russian firmware. My CSC showed that it is a russian phone. I used that phone on AT&T network that available in USA, China and Korea, and I had no problem.
Nothing will happen.
@sway8966
Are you really to suggest him to flash Nepali firmware on UK phone? I'll unlock it (the carrier-lock) first and then flash other countries' firmware if need.

Sorry to bump this up but im having problems with my s6 edge (Maybe because of this).
I recently acquired a phone from a relative from UK. The OS is android 7.0 and the carrier is three.co.uk (H3G), we have reset the phone to its factory settings and accidentally didnt noticed that it do auto update on the OS, then this bootloops starts to occur.
The phone isnt network-locked because the phone can receive signals, messages and phone calls on local sim.
Now upon browsing around SamMobile, There is an available Firmware for this mobile and even the firmware which is available to Philippines but only ver. 6.0.1
Is this possible to use the PH one or still i go to UK(h3g)?
help please
once i take the firmware from other countries and then i install to my phone,
does my phone will going to operate that firmware even if it come from another country
because i tried to find firmware according to my respective country unfortunately i missed it.
so please i need your assistance ..please
Hi,
Does anyone have any ideas why's there a different firmware base in Slovenia than in other EU countries? As far as I know, every other European country got the Marshmallow update by now, except for us. I tried contacting the distributor, Huawei itself, and even the network provider to no avail. Is there a way to flash a different firmware base on a device?
Thanks to anyone that might have some answers.

Damn, I guess that's it then. Well, at least I know I won't be getting another Huawei ever again...
Can I Switch Between Official ROMs on LG G6 (KT Telecom "LG-G600K" to "non-carrier")?
Hey all, just a quick question… what's LG's devices traditionally been like when it comes to installing ROMs from other region? Is this something doable?
I'm hoping to one day, perhaps swap to a more plain-vanilla ROM that doesn't have pre-installed much bloatware. I recall installing/upgrading LG's phones in the past using the official .kdz files, and I'm curious if I could do the same…
I bought a South Korean LG G6 (model: LG-G600k) and it's riddled with carrier bloatware. There's a few traces of Korean-specific services as well that I wish I could get rid of…
Newer lg devices ( g4 , g5 ) is only having 10 percent of support as compared to old models like g3 , g2.
If you install a rom of different carrier (with same device model and region) in your phone it may work if both carriers are using same bands.
If you install a rom of different carrier of different region ( with same device model ) it will give you ntt code error.
We can not install international model rom ( non Carrier ) to any Carrier specific model.
Until root is achieved you can try to disable unwanted apps.
If you have your phone inhand please provide system dump it will be helpful for further development.
Thanks for the answer!
Basically, the best bet on removing bloatware (and traces of Korean-specific services/UI elements) is by flashing a custom ROM; once root is achieved and custom recovery is made…, correct me if I'm wrong!
Also, I can only flash other Korean-based ROM (carrier built, or otherwise factory ROM) into this LGM-G600K. Am I right?
I'll look into providing a system dump. I did it once many many years ago; not sure if I remember.
@hidea
Yeah you are right
But you can always try other roms with same model number. For eg lg g5 h960 model released in india as well as in Indonesia. So roms of these model can be switched with eachother .
Now I'm having open euro h850 international model of g5 i can switch to tim Italy rom but cant switch to Vodafone rom ( gave me ntt code error ). Vodafone Germany and tim Italy both carriers are using h850 model but i can switch only to tim Italy.
So there's no hard and fast rule for switching roms with same Device model. You can always try which rom works for you. But don't try to flash other model rom to your device.
Sry for eng.
I Have the same phone, LGM-g600k, I disable all KT apps , but still have some ones in the phone, i search for a firmware for flash into our phone but without success.
hello! were anyone of you able to root G600k, or change the region, or do anything to remove KT specific poo from the phone? i'm not able to enable volte and its frustrating since the carrier here only works on volte
Hello all,
So I'm tempted to buy a Tim-branded S8 on Amazon.it because it's crazy cheap currently. I'm not in Italy but from what I've gathered online (and confirmed by a review on the product's page on Amazon), branding in Italy doesn't mean sim-locking so it should be usable with my local carrier. I'm in Europe anyway.
The only major difference with an unlocked phone (since it doesn't seem to have any hardware trace of the carrier) will be the software : potential TIM-related bloatware, delays for updates, etc.
My question would be : could it be possible to flash an official "clean" image, without affecting the phone and its warranty ? If so, which reference should I use ?
Thank you very much !
Yes, was going to ask if it was also sim locked.?
What county are you in and what sim do you use?
Out the box, if sim unlocked, it will work anyway.
Unless you want any advanced features.
Fw wise it's not a problem. I went the other way though, flashing EE ( UK) firmware into an unbranded unlocked BTU version to get VoLTE to work. It caused no issues.
Belgium but I guess European models pretty much have all bands available across Europe...
Thanks for the feedback !
I have the tim s8 here in the UK, flashed the h3g firmware and have WiFi calling and volte functioning without issue.

hi
Im also interested in buying a tim branded phone (https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B071RSVYSH/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A11IL2PNWYJU7H&psc=1) and was hoping if someone who has one could answer me couple of questions.
1) Does the phone have universal warranty? I mean if something was wrong with it and it needed any repair, could I just take it to a local Samsung store?
2) The model number on amazon site is G950, is that different from G950F? i couldn't find any reliable info on this..
Thanks in advance!
If the phone is designed for the European market then warranty applies regardless where you are (within Europe).
All European models are F-models.
You can flash an unbranded ROM through Odin to get rid of any branding which does not trigger Knox.
Basically I want to make sure I'm running generic H870 firmware so I would get all the updates faster. Is there a list or something? I've tried searching but it's either for different G6 versions or just a list of H870 updates by region, not the version names themselves. I would really appreciate that!
EDIT: Okay, found the list. Now which one should I use? https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h870-firmwares/
Depends on where you are. The H870 is the international version, so any of the EU or UK firmwares will work. Easy check is in settings about phone
software info. Software version. Mine is UK and version is V10r-234-30.
International will show v10(letter)-Global-number and EU version will be EUR in middle. Different EU countries will have their own I.e. Germany is DE. Hope this is of some help.

you can use all firmwares whos for the H870 Model. EU, International, south America. If there is for example an south america FW that is newer than the EU FW, you can flash it, as long the FW is for the H870 too.
