Long story, short:
I bought an LG g2 that i thought was an european model but however i think its a korean model,
If i want to use 4G(LTE) on the G2, i need to enable it by a "secret" menu every time i reboot. Isnt there any permanent solution on this?
Should i install a european firmware?
Do you have root? Custom ROM?

Stock Korean thing.
For 1 hour ago i tried installing Europe firmware and it succeeded, but however it upgraded back to korean.
Without root I don't believe there is a way but with root you can edit the build.prop to change target country

If it's a Korean model, flashing an incompatible ROM might ruin your device. Proceed with caution.
Managed to get CM11 on it. Everything works better now - Its a pain in the azz to root + recovery + cm11 on LG G2

I am requesting assistance with basic development of the Korean 320L Variant of this device. I chose it due to the removable battery and 64gb micro sd card capability over the standard version available here in the uk.
I have achieved Root which is excellent but would like a CWM/TWRP based recovery if this is possible. I have tried the Korean Telecom 320k version to no avail.
Any help or guidance would be appreciated, I have already looked at the existing threads for answers but I see none (I may be missing something!)

I think i know what it might be.Did you update to the last OTA before you try the recovery?If the answer is yes then this is your problem,and you will need to revert back to stock to do so (and stay there until a new recovery img for the new rom arrives).

BolloXXX to that! Thanks for the update though. I guess I will have to wait for a workaround.. Times like this makes me miss the simplicity of a Nexus and an unlocked bootloader.

Its very easy to go back to another rom if you want,i did that with mine like 3-4 times already :good: You just need the rom and FlashTool.1.0.54.
They do have the K variant roms for download here:Btw S and L models are pretty much the same,mine is the S one but if i open it it says F320S/L.Even flashed it with the K software with no problems at all.
The latest that works is 10M

Hi jody04c and woof123
I too have an f320l model. Have you managed to get this to work on UK LTE/4G connections? I have an EE 4G Sim but can only get 3G. Various people are saying different things.
The pda site says limited band support, but the 5457#*320# menu has LTE Band 3 and LTE Band 7 listed. The latest Korean manual for 4.4.2 OTA update now also lists Band 7 support in the manual too.
However, I notice that In Korea LGUPlus don't use these LTE bands (according to wikipedia) and so I was wondering if I should just root and try loading the K or S ROM which might open these up?
I have seen the return to Stock page - for me to use that, will I need to Root first? Any advice on rooting the Korean variants (sorry if this is listed elsewhere, I'm not a familar user here and often find several threads with different details/steps).
Thanks in advance for any help here.

So has anyone had success getting the f320l working on uk 4g by using stock/custom s/k rom. As suggested here hardware with s and l seem to be same or similar, and the l model is used by lugplus who don't support EU lte bands so probably block through their software, whereas skt on the f320s support bands on EU. The latest f320l ota update also says it supports band 7, but it didn't work with uk Ee for me with default settings.
Hi guys, my dad is bring a n9008 back from China. It has the qualcom 800 cpu onboard. I have done alot research on this phone, and only found the guide to root and flash recovery. So my question is: is it possible to flash roms made for other variants( such as n9005) onto n9008? Since the n9008 won't support the wifi calling from TMO, i would rather put a CM or AOSP on it.

is it possible to flash a tmobile rom and have the wifi calling working?
as always, you got your phone from china, get help there, in other words, if you want support, get yor phones in your own country, imagine this, you will get a warranty also, is not that amazing?, yes you save some money buying overseas, or from a no one knows about seller, but, at the end, you get no support, think abot that in the future,
Pray its not a fake

well i got the phone as a gift. so its not my choice at first place.
so far i'm able to install all of the n9005 roms(x note, omega, lidroid) and everything works flawlessly.
the tmobile rom can be installed normally, but i just cant turn on the wifi( it stucks at turning on screen)
anyone got a solution to that?
Now you can install a CM11 ROM!
I too have been given a GN3 as a gift but it's the N9008 model.
I tried flashing the latest N9005 KK stock firmware, but I had no luck.
Do you know if there's a possibility of "changing" the model to a N9005? Hardware wise I believe they are exactly the same?
I imagine LTE is also not on this particular model? Am I correct to say that all Snapdragons are capable of having LTE? Would it be the firmware that "enables" LTE?
I don't really want to be on the Chinese firmware.
I've rooted the device and got gapps on their, but I'd rather a proper international firmware.
If anybody can help, it'd be great.

Hey have you figured this out yet... I'm in sort of same situation I have a Sm-g900t but it's running a G900M stock rom, so I need to know how to keep my bootloader & modem and just flash a stock unbranded rom. I know I can flash custom roms through recovery but I want a stock to fall back on

It's not clear what you hope to do. What you wrote is that you wanted to change you ROM to W8 while retaining your TMobile baseband. And your photo shows that you did just that.
But reading between the lines suggests that you were surprised to see that the baseband hadn't changed and are actually seeking the opposite of what you asked. You need to clarify your intent.
The result that you have is the expected situation. The baseband normally won't change, nor does it represent a problem. Your phone should work fine with the W8 ROM paired with the original baseband.
Aside from the fact that there is usually no need to change the baseband, how easy it is to do so depends on the carrier and how they sign their firmware. Odin won't change the baseband if the carrier decided to omit the requisite permission to do so. TMobile modems are invariably compatible with Canadian (W8) carriers, so pragmaticaly the easiest way to update a 900T modem, if you have a rationale for doing so, is to install a TMobile update. Then put the W8 ROM on top of that if you so wish.

Hey guys,
I just bought one of the x cams and I was thinking if there would be root or xposed or even roms for this device anytime sooner?
Thnaks,
Charlie
BTW: Has anyone unlocked the bootloader?
ya i keep checking for x power, x cam and x style but no info yet that I have been able to find the full kernel source is out there for the x power though I may just build one custom and see if it will take once I can get the actual firmware to repair with just in case basically if that will work then it may work for the other X models too.
I think, that the major difficulty is to make the dual camera work fine.
I have a Lg X Cam and the rom is very stable. But if anybody start a custom rom i will liked.
Thanks,

Don't ever waste your time, the kingroot thing is bull****.
Kingroot, Shuame and other Chinese root/rom flashing tool has been telling lie about root & flashing for long, they just want to cheat you into installing their stupid software, in some case you may even brick your device because of these software.

Hi,
So I bought an s8 from my friend in Korea but I have some issues with it.
SM-G950N
First is that the text messaging has a 60 character limit and there are korean ads that pop up from time to time.
How can i remove them? Should I install a ROM to remove it?
Anyone can please help?

You have 2 options, 1 is to flash an unbranded Korean firmware which should get rid of those limitations as it sounds like it's carrier specific or 2 you can flash a Rom which requires root which will in turn good Knox, so no Samsung pay and secure folder

thanks so much! i will be reading more about knox and samsung pay. but knowing that flashing a rom would work makes me happy.
by the way, you mentioned an unbranded korean firmware, is it possible for you to point me where can i get that?
again, thanks so much
Same here actually. if anybody can point out where to grab a rom that works.
Change system language and disable Korean?
