[Q] Should I flash UK open ROM

I've just bought a LG G2 32GB from eBay (Hong Kong version D802) and the question is to ensure that I get 4G using my network provider that is 3UK.
Should I flash a UK open ROM on the phone even though the listing states that the phone supports 800/1800 4G bands which I believe are the ones that 3UK use?
Having looked at the revert to stock ROM thread there's only a 16GB UK open ROM available can I still flash this ROM or would there be issues?
Or should I just stick to the Hong Kong ROM that ships with the phone?
Thanks in advance

Stick to the rom that comes with the phone. On a side note, if you flash a 16gb rom, you will get a 16gb phone and its very hard to restore

Thank you for the very useful response. That's scary that if you flash a 16gb ROM the phone turns into a 16gb phone I don't want to be doing that.

Same issue.
Hello,
i Am newbie here, recently i brought a LG G2 D802 supposedly from a EU store and i am in Finland, but to my surprise the software firmware is Asia made, Hong Kong to be particular. it goes like this, D80210b-HKG-XX build JDQ39B kernel 3.4.0. With this original Stock software, the 4G option is not shown( i know it can be done by hidden menu but i want to get a permanent fix); the MMS setting althought i did it manually by inserting the values provided by the Network service provider.Still i am unable to get that fix.
I am in turn to contacting my seller for the correct working OPEN stock rom installed G2 but if the case does not go like that then i wish to root it to the OPEN international ROM . From what i have read, if you update then it goes back to the HKG rom, if there any way i can remove the factory rom with the OPEN Rom and receive the update OTA and it will not revert back. I have been doing my research on this but i am not able to get the answers... Hope some one will shine some light on this.
Thanks in Advance !!!

Hi,
Does your phone shows the 4G option in the network mode?? i have the same firmware and i do not have the 4g option in the network mode. Plus on the downside the MMS is also not working.

[Q] No 4G/LTE with official Kit Kat(French Vodafone ROM) on D802

Hi all,
I have flashed a kitkat kdz on my International D802 16GB. The installation went smoothly and successfully, but I am unable to turn on LTE/4G in the settings. It doesn't even exist.
Perhaps I need to flash a correct "modem". Would that be feasible?
BTW I mean GERMANY Vodafone kdz
Any ideas?
Many thanks,
CJ

[Q] Issue with 4G on LG G2 Three Network D80220c-466-92?

Hi everyone,
I have tried to understand the cause of my issue with 4g. I bought LG G2 D802 32GB from eBay. It has the software version D80220c-466-92 on android 4.4.2 KitKat. I live in the United kingdom and am on the Three network. I do not have lte option in my phone settings, when selecting 4g in 4g area through secret menu it does not connect to the service although i should be getting 4G.
Does anyone know what i need to do? Do i need to flash something or root? I do not wish to root my device as i need to use the threeintouch app which does not work on rooted devices.
I've looked through this website but im confused, could i flash kdz or something, not sure which one id go for however.
Any help would be greatly appreciated guys and gals.
Many Thanks
Ham

D855 international ver -Can i change from TWN to EUR or HKG version of phone ?

Hi guys , just a quick question , im in Australia and we dont get the D855 3Gb/32Gb version on sale, so i bought a grey import version from DWI ( HK seller ) that came with a TWN version of software.
Now , i dont get the option to switch the LTE on in my phone settings and i was wondering if i can change to a different version of software EUR for example ?
Will my IMEI recieve OTA for that version or it will revert to TWN version ? i dont want to root it as yet , i heard about deleting the apk that enables the 4G but as of right now i dont want to bump/ root my phone !

Really ?? no one knows if its possible ?

try flashing a european kdz with lg flashtool, v10m or v10l are both from europe..

You can flash any rom for the 855 but you will only get OTA for ur region

mate.. im with Telstra.. 4G .. the only i can connect is if i enter service menu and select LTE.. but after restart.. back to WCMDA

you dont need to change the firmware, just root and go to system/app folder and delete LTEconfig.apk, thats all, now you can choose 4g in menu

Galaxy SM-A500M 4G does not work with new carrier

Hi all,
I own a SM-A500M phone. The phone has unlocked stock rom (original rom is not modified by carrier) and updated trough OTA to android 5.0.2. I know 4g does work in my phone because I could use it with my prior carrier, but I recently changed to CLARO and with this new provider I don't have 4g acces, only H+ and it is really slow and laggy connection.
I know the following:
1) Sim card is a compatible 4g nano sim
2) The carrier CLARO has 4g coverage where I live
3) The phone is not the problem
4) I have tried all the usual FAQS (APN's, select LTE in config, reboot) with no success.
5) The phone's variant is right (latinoamerican brand), so It can't be due to frequencies or bands problems.
I asked for help in CLARO and told me that this has happened amongst users with unlocked phones (that is, rom not modified with CLARO's bloatware), and the solution is to flash CLARO's rom. But the problem with this solution is that CLARO hasn't released android 5.0.2 update (and I think it will never update) and I really like android 5 and wouldn't want to return to 4.4.
So, is it true? Is there a chance to fix this problem with minor tweaks? What is the problem here?
Since I recently acquired this phone, I would prefer not lossing warranty, so rooting and custom roms might not be an option.
Thanks in advance. Kind regards!

You could try to flash their rom and check if it works. Then you can be 100% sure that hardware/chip/network provider are fine. I have the same phone on since last week, but still did not go to get the chip at a movistar office. Maybe you need to activate the chip and they refuse to do it unless you get their rom. Maybe just getting their rom, and then flashing back the updated stock one or a CM or whatev would be enough.
