hi
i have a 32gb SEA model.
is there a way to transform it to a generic EUR version and received updates?
i have already flashed german eur v10g-EUR-XX
but on software info it shows "v10g-SEA-XX" and are included branded StarHub Apps and LTE is not working.
tried to flash official 32gb italian rom, but shows as "v10g-GLOBAL-SI", lte is appering but is unselectable,
as it returns to WCDMA/GMS and still there are branded apps...
is there any solution?
i need to have an EUR firmware....

The updates are done by IMEI so no matter what your phone will always be SEA and sorry you cannot change SEA to EU as far as I am aware.

You can install any D855 rom but you just won't get OTA updates for anything but a SEA version.

I assume this problem is true for all SEA devices used in Europe, that is, non LTE connectivity unless you use temporary activation with code 3845#*855#

I do own SEA 32GB phone but it is general SEA unbranded so no Star-Hub apps and it does have LTE / 4G which is auto activated. Try to flash this rom and it might solve the issue as it is still SEA rom.

I recently did this for a friend. He had an SEA 10e firmware on his G3 and I flashed the 10g italian firmware to his phone without any problems. He wasn't getting 4G on Vodafone UK earlier, but after flashing the new firmware, he gets it. I've seen a couple of people doing this as well. I just followed the guides posted here to flash the firmwares.

Any one know why these D855 devices from different regions cannot be used in other regions for LTE? I wonder if this is like the region lock on the Note 3 to allow Samsung to restrict warranty cover?

i'm not sure, but every g3, could be used with every lte band...
any other idea?

if i cant resolve i have to change device...
I'm not sure why you can't enable LTE. Maybe it's carrier dependent or maybe not. If you're not happy I'd suggest switching your device.

I have a D802 Hong Kong version. In the secret menu (3845#*802#) i have found this: LGD802AT-00-V10C-HKG-XX-NOV-30-2013
Now, I would like to use the 4g connection in my country (Italy, carrier TIM) but the 4g option is not avaible in "network mode". After a test with another G2 (italian version and same carrier), I can say that the connection don't switch automatically on 4g but keeps the H+ one. So i think is necessary a modification.
Solutions?
Is it necessary to flash an europe radio? or something else? I'd like to keep the stock rom Lg but is not a fundamental.
Baseband: M8974A - AAAANAZM - 1.0.190036
Kernel: 3.4.0
Build: JDQ39B
I have the g2 for two days. I know it very little. I do not have much knowledge about it. Some good soul can explain to me how to do?
I need your help!
Did you verify that the device has the correct radio bands for the lte on that carrier?

I don't know how to check! On the box of g2: gsm 850/900/1800/1900; wcdma 850/900/1900/2100; LTE 2100(B1)/1800(B3)/2600(B7)/900(B8)/800(B20).
My carrier is Tim but i don't kwow which band uses.
In secret menu/LTE Band section: avaible band 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,17,20,40. No one is selected.
Can i flash V10E firmware for Italy on V10C firmware for honk kong (actually on my device)?
Flashing different firmware wont help. Its either your apn is wrong or you didnt enable lte correctly. I checked and TIM uses 1800 (band 3) lte which your phone should work with.

Hi,
I've a similar question and I hope someone could help me: I've a G2 phone using the D80210e-ESA-XX firmware.
In the product specifications, supported LTE frequency bands are 900/1800/2100/2600/850. I know that in Italy working frequency bands are 800/1800/2600. Now, my phone does not support 800 MHz: do you think is possible to upload a different firmware (IT or EUR ones) on my phone? With one of these firmware, does the device will work at 800 MHz?
Thank you so much.
I also had the D802 with Korean firmware!
Even though the phone itself supports LTE the Korean firmware doesn't!
I flashed the EU version and everything worked fine afterwards!!!

@popsi, @zacharias99 did you follow a specific procedure to upload the european firmware. I'm not so sure to perform it cause some month ago I've bricked an old Motorola (I don't remember the exact model) using simply a firmware of a different country. The result was a brick cause two firmware did not use the same way to allocate the memory...

My friend i don't really know where in this forum the instructions for flashing a new stock firmware are... (I am also new in this community)
And i flashed it with Greek instructions so my link won't help you and i don't want to post some link i haven't tested by myself...
Sorry i hope you can understand!
At moment i have no time, but if I would be you I would search in the G2 Section for instructions!
They must definitely be somewhere!
Did you subscribe for LTE with your carrier?

@zacharias99, I've checked that 4G can be enabled using the secret menu
1. Go to LTE-Only
2. Modem Settings
3. RAT Selection
4. Select GSM / WCDMA / LTE auto
as in the post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2494751
At the moment it doesn't seem to work for me, probably because my sim still has not been enabled for 4g.
Have you ever enabled this option (with the previous korean firmware, I mean)?
@zacharias99, @popsi: the new european firmware allows to navigate over the 800MHz frequency band for you?
Thank you

Hi,
the procedure using the secret menu definitively works on my D80210e-ESA-XX, but I need to re-select it after every reboot.
Does anybody know how to make it permanent or how to automate this selection on boot (maybe using Tasker or something similar)?

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.

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.
So my lg g2 is running on 10E (Philippines). i was told that its the firmware version of my phone. i wanna flash on Spiderio's custom ROM but its based on 10F which is from Singapore. the problem is will I still be able to receive 4G signal from my carrier?

1) China = A2017, USA = A2017U, EU = A2017G
2) The only one you can flash on is A2017U as it has an unlocked bootloader but you lose the passport 2.0 warranty if you do this.
3) No differences except there is volume limits on the EU version which people forget about because of EU law and physically on the back of the device the US version says Axon underneath the fingerprint and EU does not.

There is a way to flash TWRP on the European model without unlocking the bootloader (http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/wip-axon-7-root-bootloader-unlokced-t3441204), and use it to root, but currently there is no way to flash custom ROMs (like the CM13 alpha) on the European model.

Someone was able to flash the European model's firmware on the US model, but as suspected, it broke the modem. You'll have to manually backup the modem from the US model, then flash the European firmware, and then restore the US model's modem in order to have network connectivity.

I have a question. I bought a H873 G6 which is the Canadian version and it has no wifi calling its unlocked so I dont know what carrier it had before and there is no carrier logo when it is booting. I was wondering if I were to flash it with the firmware of say for instance a Bell Lg G6 H873 would I be able to get wifi calling since they offer wifi calling.

He's not talking about a custom ROM, he's talking about stock image KDZ for another region. H870DS G6 cannot be bootloader unlocked and rooted. If you are interested in bootloader unlock and root, instead of LG G6 you should get the next model, the LG V30. Dual SIM version is the H930DS.

And as we discussed in another thread, "OEM unlock" setting is not new -- it's been in Android since at least 2015 and doesn't do anything the carriers/OEM don't want it to do. It's useless unless the carrier/OEM WANTS the bootloader to be unlocked.
