My new LG came with D80210b-466-92 firmware and I flashed it with the UK T-Mobile version - also tried the Eur open version.
However, while the phone took the firmware upgrade, its still showing the old version of firmware i.e. D80210b-466-92. I've done the hard reset and the phone restarts in Chinese. Once I change to English its fine and all the Chinese apps are gone but its still showing the old firmware???
If I flash, say, the D80210a EUR firmware, the version changes to D80210a-466-92, not D80210a-EUR-xx as I would expect.
I have flashed about 8 firmwares (including Kitkat) and the last five digits (country code) never change but the first 7 always change as they should. The flashed firmware does seem to work OK, just the version does not update.
Any ideas?

Yeah, no one seems to know, its a real head scratcher.
466-92 is the Taiwanese country code AFAIK.
I don't think it affects the phone at all but I would like to know why it happens. Its the only seems to affect phones with the 466-92 firmware.
No ideas anyone?
answer
hy
i was having the same questions about the "466-92" code.
here is the catch...
the country/region code is encrypted in hardware of the phone, meaning the phone was build for that region and cannot be changed in any mode! - this answer i obtained from LG customer service.
still, you can put any of stock roms for your device (d802 in my case) and will work, all of them are original and compatible with device, working with same parameters (differences are in fact some apps in addition or in minus for some regions/countries that are bloatware anyway), so the basic is same for all (ex. 20a, 20b, 20c, 20h or 20d or other letters released)
NOTE 1. you can put any of stock rom for your device BUT only with a custom flashing program (ex. LG_flash_tool - which i use);
NOTE 2. if you wanna update or change your software with LG Mobile Support Tool (default and official program from LG to change/upgrade software), the phone will receive the software version for the region/country accordingly to THAT number/code from the end of the software name (D80220c-466-92 - in my case).
if you own a taiwanese version of d802 it will show the "466-92" all the time and with any version of software !
for questions or other details - contact me or reply

for country/region codes of your phone model search google, it's easy to find - and see what region your phone was made for
every region/country or group of countries have a version of software by default
ex. taiwan has the kitkat version 20c - d80220c-466-92, europe open has kk 20d - d80220d-eur-xx, and so on....
search fot them, there are plenty of forums and discussions

When the phone provider or network upgrade the firmware you get the upgrade from Kies . Phones product code determines the firmware .

I know it, but from what I know my phones wasn't from any phone carrier, it's a stock one, bought in a shop. Is it any way to determine is it stock phone (by serial number, by rom number) or bought from the carrier (mayby I'm wrong about it's origin)...
Answer is because KE4 is the latest available Polish firmware.
Ok, that should be an answer. But the question is, how long do You think it take Samsung to make latest rom availible for Poland?

Unknown... Nobody knows. TBH I'd use the standard "UK" or Europe one that is updated fastest on...
Ok, but how, if the KIES don't see any newer ones? If I change language in the phone, will it work? Are there any other options, that are recognized by KIES to determine my location, thus blocking newest software update? Some time ago I used KIES Registry editor when wanted to update my wife's Samsung Wave (S8500) to bada 1.2, but it was differernt (older) KIES and different system (bada).
Kies takes Product Code and a few other codes matches them to that specific firmware on the server for those codes .
I have never ever on SGS 1 or 2 managed to update firmware via Kies once stock rom flashed .

From the linked threat I can confirm, that my phone was unbranded - I had XKE2 and could update only to KE4. Looks like there is nothing more for me to do except: waiting for update via KIES or risk update by Odin. Tough choice for me...
Hello everyone and sorry if i created a topic that already exists ive been searching this forum for hours and i could not find a solution to my problem.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 purchased in Slovenia at the provider Mobitel.
I've tried to update my phone to a newer version of the firmware trough Kies but i get the following error.
OK as im new it doesnt let me insert links :/ so my firmware version is the following:
PDA:JS2 / PHONE:JPY / CSC:JS1 (MOT)
i know the update to 2.3 is availible in Slovenia but i think i am missing some update inbetween or something, as you can see my Kies says its not an official version on my phone but it is, my phone is the same as i bought it ive never updated yet nor i installed any custom stuff on it.
Hope someone can help me i've been trying to update for about 2 weeks now :/ thanks!
Hi it would seem that http://www.samfirmware.com/ have a lot of updates that don't seem to be on kies I have updated my I9000 to 2.3.5 using Odin from there.
Everything you need to do it is on that site there are many threads on this forum for updating you phone. Before you do back up your IMEI data because if something goes wrong (not that it should) this data is unrecoverable.
See this link for how to do it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859914
When you go onto samfirmware there are guides on how to use Odin and what firmwares to use. Not that the name of the firmware version holds info about country codes and languages so my firmware I9000XXJVS is decoded in the following way -
I9000 - model
XX - Country code
JV - Language code
S - Changes with version
When you are changing the firmware check that the language code and country code are the same as what you have already this will ensure you have the right firmware. Only the last letter changes usually.

Hey thanks for your reply!
See im a complete novice when it comes to update Android phones on my own...doesnt it mean if i do it with Odin its going to be a custom update and i loose my warranty as it would be an official samsung update anymore ? and the frimware versions its all just numbers and letters to me i coudnt tell the difference between them if i look at them :/ so if you could please link me the exact things that i need if its legal to update that way , if im not asking for too much cause i feel like i am :/ i've been searching both this forum and sam's for a few days and i cant make out anything of it, like i saidi m a novice dont know much :/
Ok i downloaded this :
samfirmware.com/apps/blog/show/8512833-android-2-3-5-for-galaxy-s-
now i have completely no idea what to do with >.< please help!
flash samfirmware 2.3.5 XXJVS, newest and fastest
Ok firstly Odin is a manual tools for updating firmware. And the roms on that site are stock roms (unmodified). The reason Samsung and other manufacturers don't like people flashing roms is that a) you can brick your phone and b) with a custom rom they will not warrantee the rom because they didn't make it. If you flash a stock rom onto your phone you should be fine. (Bricked phones are recoverable usually).
As I said before BACK UP YOUR IMEI DATA as shown by the link in my original post reply as if this data is corrupted even if you get a good rom on your phone if you have lost your imei your phone will not work. (This is more of an issue with custom roms and not usually an issue with stock roms but do it anyway).
**UPDATE** This actually requires that you have Odin up and working which you might not yet so don't worry just yet about this.
Don't use xxjvs yet it may be the wrong language we will check before proceeding.
Ok firstly you need to check the language version of the rom already in your phone the easiest way is to go into settings and then about and check the kernel version it will be something like 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVS-CL535839
The important bit for now is the bit in bold in the above example I9000 is the model xx is the country code jv is the langauge code and s is the version.
XX = Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom
JV = en,fr,pt,tr(ar,de,es,fa,it,nl)
If you are from Solvenia you country code would normally be XD and im not sure what your language code is. Any firmware you install should have the same country and language codes.
Checking the site there aren't any versions with the XD country code so before continuing can you confirm what version your phone already has?
XD = Croatia, Czech, Hungary, Slovakia
?? = language (use whatever your old rom is)
You can flash different country codes but be aware that this may change the available languages on your phones and/or settings/carrier information. (checking the site they just have the xxjvs firmware listed under "Europe" so it might be fine. It's up to you. That being said when I turn my phone back on after flashing a rom it prompts me with a list of countries so...
You need to install your phone drivers
Then download Odin http://hotfile.com/dl/107607762/640950b/I9003_Odin3_v1.82.rar.html and then un-rar it.
You then need to download the firmware you want to flash the current XXJV firmware is http://hotfile.com/dl/129538506/0a079c6/I9000XXJVS.rar.html.
This will contain 4 files the modem, csc, kernel and pit files everything you need to make it work.
I'm not going to go through the Odin instructions as they are on the site here http://www.samfirmware.com/SVC Android/I9000 Flashguide.pdf and are pretty easy to follow (just ignore the first few pages until you come to the Odin section).

I became so disgusted with Samsung while waiting for the 2.3.3 upgrade, I gave up a phone company in town upgraded my phone to 2.3.3 for me and it works great. I am happy about that, however KIES now says my phone is not able to be updated... I bought the phone from Vodafone Australia and the firmware looks like it is from Korea?? CSC:JVK (KOR).
Does anyone know how to fix this?? Must I change the firmware again?? The problem is that I have never seen a firmware that is Australia based.. Is it possible to change some setting to trick the phone into thinking that the firmware is from Australia and therefore allowing the updates to occur??
It can't hurt to ask...
Thank you for any replies...
You will have to reflash your phone if you want to get it back to an Australian firmware.
The KOR one is the generic Samsung (Korean company) firmware.
You can check out this web site http://fus.nanzen.se/ to see if your service provider has released a 2.3.3 firmware as yet.
If they have, you can use the CheckFusDownloader application from that site to download the firmware, and you will need to follow the instructions available in this forum to flash the firmware to your phone.
You can change CSC without reflashing (sometimes).
You just type a code into your phone on the dial-pad, utilising your IMEI code, (i think you type *#06# to find out IMEI).
Be aware, one you select a new option (If you have multi CSC on your phone) your phone will reboot and wipe itself with the new CSC. So i say this once and only once DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS YOU ARE FULLY BACKED UP, and/or also don't mind starting from fresh again.
For Galaxy S it is *#272*IMEI CODE#.
Also, my phone is updated to latest firmware and KIES does not recognise it. This is good, because Kies is bad. I'd advise to backup your stuff manually, it's not hard.
If you are using Galaxy S I9000, i strongly suggest getting to know how the program ODIN works. There are plenty of guides on here, and unless you're a total dweeb or seriously unlucky it's a very easy process and hard to balls up.
But, as always, make sure you know what you're doing.
You should be able to get JVT now over KIES.

Also, to my knowledge, it doesn't matter if you're on the wrong CSC.
The only problem you may encounter is that Market may have a different selection apps, and some may be undownloadable, other downloadable.
Basically, if keywords like 'flashing' and 'Odin' put the fear into you. It's ok, it doesn't matter. My phone ran on KOR CSC for 6 months without any problems, albeit i'm in UK.
Hope this is of some help.
EDIT:
AND i just found this post.

The automatic method will also work if the CSC for australia is not installed on your phone.
again, hope this helps

hello
I have an open EU g2 and after using several custom roms i wanted to revert back to stock.
I used the LG IMEI tool and it told me that the phone is an open EU version . The download link for the firmware they suggested is for 80220C .
Yet, i see that there are open EU firmwares available for D or even F
is there anything that the F firmware brings ? Performance improvements etc ? Or should i stick to the C one as recommended by LG ?
This brings me to ask a few questions :
1. Since it's an open eu phone, shouldn't they all have the same software versions? I understand for carrier or country specific phones to have different firmware versions depending on the development speed etc, but why would Open EU d802 phones have different firmwares ? Note that if i use the default C one ... OTA says there are no updates available.
2. I see most custom roms are based on the 20F versions. Makes me wonder if it's because it's the latest one ... or if it brings any improvements ( even small ones )
So what do you say ... should i use C or F ? Any reason why ?
thanks guys
i searched the web for a changelog, nothing.
seems that lg does not give changelogs
perhaps someone knows the difference and has some advice on which one to use
1. I don't know, connect your phone to your PC and check for updates maybe like that. Sometimes those firmwares are with specific bug fixes for one country and probably also with other small bugfixes but sometimes its like country limited even if its open eu,
2.I think that 20F might be the latest,Stablest software version but I am not sure about it.
My advice is to just stay normal on stock and or check with your imei checker and maybe use that firmware.
Since the bugfixes are probably not a big list or noticeable for the average phone user it isn't so Important for small version differences or you gotta be an hardcore Fan.
I suggest to maybe look for custom roms which are using stock as base but only flash that stuff if you have the basic knowledge about flashing and can read carefully
Well here's my two cents:
The C and D versions are the second kitkat upgrade for different regions. They SHOULD be equal, and both of these stock images have certain bug fixes as the "fake" bluetooth drain in battery stats, fixed headset hissing issue and added knock code.
The F version, I believe, is a bugfix for 20D. 20D had issues with VoIP such as skype and Viber which would not function properly. 20F has not been pushed out to all users of 20D.
If you intend on keeping your device, flash 20F IMO. BUT
An important note: If you plan on SELLING your device, then flash 20C which is the one linked to your IMEI. Because you won't be able to get updates if your current software version doesn't match the one LG has linked with your IMEI.

thanks mate. i will flash 20F
regarding to the last thing you said ... yes i figured that the official software is the one that should be used when sending the phone to waranty or selling it
more than that ,... i found something interesting . I flashed several firmwares and ALL OF THEM made te status in download mode as "ROOTED" even though i was not rooted.
The only way to display unrooted in download mode is to flash the 20C firmware for my device. So it is obvious that this is the "correct" firmware for this particular phone.
Hello everyone,
LG released another new version,
The version is V20i and it was released in Italy and Sweden (Hutchison)
Security patch is for 2016-09-01
Android version: 6.0
In order to download you need to copy the URL, open new tab, paste URL and hit ENTER.
You can safley flash this KDZ on any H815/L/T/P/TR/AR device
Here is the download link:
http://tool.lime.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FWB8NYW752WDA9F0338CBQ6/H81520i_00_0927.kdz
Enjoy
Which is different beetween v20i France and v20i UK?
The security patch is similar. I am still waiting for a kdz from EU with security patch for october.
Flashed this as an upgrade over v20e-SEA (my official version) via LGUP in an attempt to address constant freezing across uses and apps since updating from v20c-SEA about a month ago.
On first boot, after optimising apps, 19 random carrier bloatware apps started installing in the background (should be noted I am using Amaysim/Optus in Australia and I bought this Singaporean phone unlocked in Paraguay) and I receive the following error after every reboot:
Current version is not available for user. can't find matched cust for NT-code mcc/mnc [FFFFFF],subset[56]
Can't remove the bloatware either as I have no root, so going to have to find an alternate ROM I think.
EDIT: The bloat apps (which were never present before) seem to have to do with the fact this is a Singaporean phone. The apps it forced, some of which I can actually remove, the rest I can disable are:
2-in-1 LINE, Bookmate, Clipster, Dash, Deezer, GrabTaxi Driver, KyLinTV, M1 WiFi Roaming, mWallet, My M1, My SingTel, My StarHub, NewsLoop, Roam Manager, Store & Share, Toggle , TVBuddy, [email protected]

The warning about "can't find matched cust.." doesn't affect anything, you can still use that version if you want to.
About the bloatware: this version is branded (by Hutchison) and this is why there is bloatware installed. Try to uninstall / disable the bloatware or flash another version.
Good luck

Yeah I worked out the error was no big deal and the ROM performance has been excellent compared to the SEA version I was running before, no freezing at all yet, although the battery life seems a little worse but not terrible. I'll probably stick with this until an unbranded alternative becomes available.
