LG G2 D802 Docomo (L-01F) 32GB - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all i am looking to buy a LG G2 D802 Docomo (L-01F) 32GB i have seen a Japanese version on Ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321432279404?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT will this be ok to use in the UK on T-Mobile.
Seems a really good deal 32 GB, please advise as i was going to pickup tomorrow.

Hi i've purchased the above phone 2wks ago now on 02 network and it works well and i am very pleased other than it came with Jelly Bean out of the box and i am looking to upgrade to Kitkat but as it is a Japanese phone i am unable to Update (Docomo network is not available) message.
So i am looking to root hopefully with the help of the developers to really appreciate the capabilities of the phone, but i would recomend it.

How to root LG g2 docomo is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2637200. Read this carefully and do as what it reads.
Actually I am using this phone, with CM11 (nightly) for daily routine, so here is what I did:
do as the thread guide above, after root I also have CWM, (you can come to google play and search for quickboot
or any other boot apps that have a option to reboot to recovery) .
then I downloaded cwm 6.0.48 r1 (you have to be at this CWM or later version to update the CM11 or else you get bootloop )
link is here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/wbh8sg09xhguc8s/L01F_CMW_6.0.4.8_r1.zip
then I download rom here: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=l01f , choose which one you like, normally I choose the latest
and download pa gapps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942 , I choose mini pa gapps
put the phone into recovery mode and wipe data/ wipe cache / wipe dalvik cache , then install those two zip files.
Voila, I have Cyanogen Mode 11 on my lg g2 docomo
That was what I did to get to CM11, but you have to take your own risk, I am not in anyway be responsible for your phone if it gets bricked

Hi,
I am planning to buy docomo version and use it with three network, but I am worried about 4G speed , because as I heard Three is using different frequency then Japanese version of LG.
Is there anybody who is using this phone with three network?

[q] lg g2 320l korean version now in uk

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.

vodafone smart tab III

I have successfully updated to version A3000-H Call - A3000_A422_003_014_130909_WW_CALL_FUSE my vodafone smart tab III, test calls correctly and although two slots sim recognize this tablet has only one.
I had trouble at first by the drivers and have not activated the development so that from what I've seen in the thread happens to the majority and hence the error using the FlashTool but as soo active mode restart wait a few seconds to give ready update and becomes tablet lenovo.
I hope this helps anyone with the same tablet.
Greetings and thanks for the contribution to azam426.
I have the same tablet Vodafone smart tab III 7" and i flashed it like u. There is no problems until now ...the tablet is running smoother and faster than the Vodafone version. The only missing thing is internal storage of 3 gb from Vodafone rom which was 16 gb and now it is 13 gb. Call feature working well too. I ll try to re-flash back the original rom to see if i get back this missing 3 gb storage.
Thanks to azam for this rom with calling feature.:good:
I've flashed this on my vodafone smart tab III 7, and everything is working, except for auto rotate
I have a problem with smart tab iii 7, can someone help? If i flash just /system, all works except auto rotate. If i flah with /boot as well, everything works, including auto rotate but if the display goes to sleep, nothing wakes it up, no power button no usb, but i can hear notifications in the background. I guess boot.img needs work?
Data not work
I have vodafone smart tab 3 and flash with A3000_A422_013_025_140624_WW_CALL_FUSE

Possible to Convert LS980 to D802 ?

Please HELP!!!
can you guys please tell me is it possible to convert Sprint LG G2 (LS980) to International version (D802) firmware?
looking foward for your help.
thank you!
Yes it is possible with lots of searching and hacking. It is way easier to do permanent SIM unlock procedure and easier than that, use a custom ROM. See link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2655133
Here's my knowledge from the conversion. I could follow the steps in that post but the phone never really worked right. The steps to make the phone work on GSM carriers caused menus to disappear from within the phone, such as ability to change APNs. It works but there's a better way.
I flashed an AOSP ROM to my phone. Shameless plug here for LiquidSmooth beta, I've had the least problems getting a working phone with that ROM, actually works out of the box. While on AOSP, I can replace my Sprint LTE SIM with that of another carrier, reboot the phone and then go to the *#*#4636#*#* menu and change radio mode to GSM. I'm using an AT&T SIM now, domestic even and can SMS, MMS and have HSPA+ data, no LTE. If for some silly reason I want to switch back to Sprint, just swap SIM card, reboot phone, change radio mode in the hidden menu. Simple.

Thank you very much mate :highfive: ! but actually what i want is to have D802 (Stock) firmware on LS980. because D802 is getting updates so quickly. ( Knock Code) i searched for a way to convert but i couldn't find it. can you guys please tell me is it even possible? because both devices are have same hardware except the LTE band! looking forward for your advice. thank you! :good:
I know it's possible. I read once what has to be done. There's some trickery that has to be done in the build.prop which makes the phone think it's another model which would allow the flash. All I can say is search. It is on the XDA forum. The term used was CID change. Found a ton in 2 minutes all related to HTC One on Google, finding the G2 should be easy enough with search.
Once time converted, the frequencies GSM 850/900/1800/1900, UMTS 850/900/1900/2100 (3G), LTE 800/900/1800/2100/2600 (4G) it work or not?
Please someone answer this last question .
Once converted, will the converted LS980 support the frequencies of D802 ( GSM 850/900/1800/1900, UMTS 850/900/1900/2100 (3G), LTE 800/900/1800/2100/2600 (4G)) instead of the LS980 frequencies ?

Simple answer is "No" . because frequencies are hardware things. we can only change softwares. LS980 will not have D802's frequencies by anyway.

Yes there is a way to do it but I don't know, me too I'm searching for this solution, because I bought a used LS980, and when I plugged it into PC the LG Support tool ask me if I want to upgrade the software of the phone (Into Lollipop) and the actual version at that time was D80230e, I let the authorized the LG Tool to download the update, and when finished, everything goes wrong the phone became unusable, when I push in a zone it react in another, and it was really hard to achieve the first steps of the configuration, when finished I decided to open the phone and look at the motherboard and bingo I found that it's an LS980, then I downloaded the LS980 firmware, I flashed it, and everything became OK, except the lost IMEI, then I tried to resotre the EFS backup that I done before that I upgrade it with LG Tool, and then the phone stay on the LG logo...Right now my phone is out of service, I use it as camera and nothing else...I'm searching for solution every time but I found anything...Is there any solution ?
What about changing motherboard only, will that work ?

On order to restore your IMEI you've just to flash your phone with the ZVD version and let the OTA updates install,then you'll recover your IMEI, but if you flash again with the ZVD you will lose it again

[Q] Upgrading Bell Galaxy S4 SGH-1337 to CM12

Hey guys! First post here, hoping I'm posting in the right thread...
I just wanted some information on upgrading my SGH-1337 Galaxy S4 (unlocked & rooted) to Cyanogenmod 12, as I'll be moving to a new town and my google maps app dies whenever I try to select "walk" or "bus" (I've tried, many, many ,many things to fix this, I also want material design and am sick of waiting for updates )
I've backed up my apps via Helium backup, however if there's a way for me to make a full flashed copy of my current OS that'd be great (I don't really understand TWRP, I'm new to all of this after all!)
I guess what I'm looking for are a bunch of A-Z tutorials
Ah yes, and I also have external 64gb micro sd cards to backup to as well, so if the tutorial requires those then I have, it. Additionally my pohone is currently on android version 4.4.2 Kitkat (which made backing up my stuff to my sd card seemingly impossible as I think that kitkat only allows read only access to the sd card)

S7edge SM-G9350-NO 4G DATA**I WILL DONATE $50-$100 TO WHOEVER GIVES ME THE SOLUTION**

The exact model is Samsung Galaxy S7 edge SM-G9350 64 GB GOLD PLATINUM
First I want to get this off my chest. I registered this week (I used XDA before like 7 or 8 years ago in high school when I use to flash custom ROMS on windows mobile phones-good times hehe)because I am frustrated since I bought an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S7 edge from a stranger using craigslist on Sunday night. The ad said it was T-mobile Unlocked and in brand new condition with the box and original accessories and it had some pictures.So why not buy it cheap for since I'm using a T-mobile LG-K7 with a cracked screen,right?WRONG!! The phone is working fine except I am only getting EDGE data!!! I found out that it is a chinese variant and it works fine with my T-mobile sim card here in the U.S.A except it can't connect to 4G and that is probably why the shady guy sold the phone cheap to let it become someone else problem I also saw 1 or 2 of these models in the box as well and he said a friend gave it to him and he is just selling it(B.S.) I forgot craigslist had scammer like 40% of the transactions lol, I use to meet these types of people in middle and high school when I bought and sold my used or old T-mobile phones though I never scammed or conned any one.I remember some people would act shady or too nice for no reason,probably cause they stole the phone and were making 100% profit off me.This same guy is one of them.
ANYWAYS THANK YOU FOR READING MY RANT---- NOW ON TO THE POINT OF FIXING THE DATA ISSUE
I am getting unlimited 4G on my k7 and everyone else on our plan is using unlimited 4g just fine.Samsung rep at best buy said its legit and its an international chinese variant and to look around on here to fix the issue. He told me something about the band and t-mobile towers to pick up the frequency. He said I got a really good deal if I can 4g on there. If not than re-sell it and make it someone elses problem. I looked all around google the past few days an either no one has this problem or if they do than the solution doesn't work on my phone.
Here is what I tried so far:
A) T-mobile reset the network connection via tech support
B) I factory reset the phone numerous times
C)I got the right APN settings set on the phone to be connected to nearest towers, a store rep did it for me to make sure.
D) I replaced and used another activated T-mobile sim card
E) I download some apps I saw on here to check LTE signal etc and its running very slow edge
*********I am on the sim status screen and right now as I'm typing this the signal strength is
-61 dBm 26 asu,cellular network type is EDGE,NETWORK is T-mobile, Service state is In service,Roaming is not roaming,cellular network state is disconnected*******
------I hope someone can pick up information off of that and maybe I could change some settings
E) I dialed *#*#4636#*#* and got to a screen to allow me to check phone information,battery information,usage statistics,wi-fi information-under phone information there are options to set preferred network types to: WCGMA,GSM, GSM auto(PRL), CDMA auto(PRL),CDMA only,EvDo only,GSM/CDMA auto(PRL),LTE/CDMA auto(PRL),LTE/GSM(PRL),CDMA auto(PRL),LTE only,Unknown. It will only stay on up to GSM auto(PRL)
....also when I press menu on this screen there is an option to enable data connection and when I click it,it won't stay,it just keeps saying enable data connection
F)I googled what bands this model and it is able to use and it has the capability to be used on T-mobile bands
What else can I do get the data working to 4G right now? The phone is running Android 6.0.1 and won't update to Nouget over the air. I want to root the phone and see if I can install a custom Nouget rom( since the samsung guy said the phone will brick if I try to install the T-mobile Nouget rom or I can't even do it since its an international variant-by the way I am able to have google services on here like play store,etc. so I don't know if that makes a difference to what variant and rom it is because I heard one or the other of hong kong or open china variants for this phone is better and can't use google play)and maybe I am able to connect to 4G data.
Like the title of this post says, I promise I will back up my donation I really don't want to sell the phone unless I have to because I will not get a better deal anywhere ever again for the latest high end phone from a manufacturer

you have to flash the correct CSC this will fix your 4G if you buy an device from a other country than is it possible that you get this problem but when you flash the correct CSC you will get 4G i helped so much people with this problem with a S7 device, i think this your solution
if this fix works for you just keep your money we are developers not for paying
Maybe you should post this in the T-Mobile section.
In my idea this should have 4G data on T-Mobile US out of the box as the required LTE bands are supported by the G9350. Did you check the APN settings? (VoLTE and WiFi-Calling may or will not work without t-mo-rom but that's another topic)
Also you should be fine to flash a T-Mobile US rom as both have Snapdragon SoC. You don't need root to flash an official rom.
Out of curiosity: what about 3G?

Thank you so much!!! People have actually asked through pm to donate to bitcoin first before helping me and here you are helping me first by the way.
I am going to find the correct CSC, what does that stand for? Can I flash a T-mobile 7.0 Nougat rom on my Galaxy SM-9350 first that the person before you replied about(its the link)?? I want to do both to have T-mobile settings and to use the 4G although the 4G is a thousand times more important. If I can do this than I am a happy man!
Why is there a boot loader and modem link attached to every post containing a ROM download? Does that need to be downloaded first,and what are the next steps,if so? I know these are questions I need to search about they are all confusing and mumbled and jumbled up. Even though I registered this week for help I was a member here like 8-9 years ago in high school when I was flashing custom ROMS on Windows mobile phones(good times hehe) but it got addictive,took a lot of my time from studying, and I totally forgot how do things.

Maybe you should post this in the T-Mobile section.
In my idea this should have 4G data on T-Mobile US out of the box as the required LTE bands are supported by the G9350. Did you check the APN settings? (VoLTE and WiFi-Calling may or will not work without t-mo-rom but that's another topic)
Also you should be fine to flash a T-Mobile US rom as both have Snapdragon SoC. You don't need root to flash an official rom.
Out of curiosity: what about 3G?

Hey I made a new thread today in Q&A for GS7. The APN settings were put in by a T-mobile store associate and it still didn't work. I don't care about VoLTE/Wifi-Calling although I noticed some people on here are worred about that-its just something I never use.
Are you sure I don't need root to flash an official ROM?The Samsung Galaxy guy at Best Buy said it would brick if I used an official ROM because the phone is an international variant. If I can use an official ROM,I can't get Nougut OTA via T-mobile anyway as my phone keeps saying it is updated even though it is 6.0.1. How do I get the offical ROM manually on the computer? Samsung Smart Switch isn't even recognizing my device when it is connected and Smart Switch on my phone looks like it is only suppose to be used to receive files from another phone? I have the link for a T-mobile 7.0 ROM from a post on here that he used on the same exact model I don't know if I am suppose to root the device first or not yet since it looks custom made.
Thank You for helping me out it means a lot you guys are the best! I can already see myself on here a lot in the future doing stuff different android phones like I 8 or 9 years ago in high school on windows mobile phones.

The only data I am getting is EDGE
So, I guess something is wrong.
You can try flashing the designated firmware for this device first and see if this helps. To get the right one (who knows what all was tampered with) use best the Phone Info tool.
I've had this exact issue before, with a Nexus 5 that I bought from Telus, I am with Telus, it ended up being I had to go buy and register a new SIM card, then it was fine, might not be a solution for you but Worth a try,
Actually get a SIM card from your provider, have them register it in the store
Sent from my SM-G935W8 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Thanks I did that yesterday already and it still didn't work
I am a member because the owner hates the Iphone and I respect that
What would be the correct CSC file for this device? I tried to flash CSC from a SM-G935t firmware and it didn't work even though she said it didn't matter lol(senior member too)

I'm going to try to find an official U.S. T-mobile ROM and flash with odin...but does it have to be specifically for SM-G9350? I don't think I can find one for that......

Nice, I like what you have! My model is different so I don't know if the ROM will work though I'm almost finished downloading it at the moment. Instructions 3 and 4 is confusing. Don't I need to put superman ROM and CSC file on sd card while the phone is ON?And am I suppose to transfer it on there via usb cable or can I also do it via google drive than open in up phone gmail and put it on sd card? Also do I need to extract the CSC file first to my computer desktop? That file takes forever to extract! Is instruction 4 suppose to be while in recovery mode? Also is it normal for my phone to show "no command" while in recovery mode?
Thank you ?
The rom will work because your phone is exynos based. It got a different model number because it's for Chinese markets. Put the rom on the SD card using whatever method, just do it before flashing the recovery, because your phone may not boot after the recovery to the stock firmware because Samsung has put some crap to prevent using custom firmware. I forgot to say that also before doing anything go to device info - > software - > and press build number several times to enable developer options then back to settings and go to developer options and enable OEM unlocking.
Yes, commands 4 are made in recovery. Install - > pick the zip file and install.
All zip files aren't extracted! The recovery uses the zip file as it is.
Good luck

Were you able to flash the U.S. T-mobile ROM onto SM-9350?
The official firmware can be found on https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G935T/
I found it yesterday but their free server is under maintenance so he will have to pay to just download a firmware file.
I don't know why don't samsung provide them for free on their site!
