I have a LG G2 D802 from Dubai and I was wondering if I could change its firmware to another stock LG G2's, South American for instance, or European.
According to This website my firmware would be 6RE/UNITED ARAB EMIRATES_OPEN_16G
I wanna do that because my update center says there is no 5.0 available for it yet, and for many other g2's there is

You have the D802 Model. There is heaps of Custom Lollipop ROMs for you to choose from that are made for/work with the D802 model. Head over to the D802 Development forum and you'll find heaps of threads for Custom Lollipop ROMs built specifically for the D802, or you know.. you could wait a couple months for a official release by LG.

I actually wanted to keep the stock rom, just wanted to update it to Lollipop to get the few new things and keep LG's customization, I kinda like it (and too lazy/little time to toy with custom ROM's as I did back with Nexus')

Oh I'm sorry I kind of misunderstood what you were asking. Have you heard of the Grola ROM? It's a ROM built from Stock Lollipop from the F320K, and it's working great for the D802. Until D802 comes out with it's own official Lollipop release, you might want to check that out .

That is a better option! thanks
But what I was really hoping is to try to change my firmware from Dubai's to Europe's or whatever, just to have those updates more at hand.
Also, any idea if I could flash a radio or something to make my G2 work with my country's LTE band? I can only do that by that secret menu from dialer, not straight from settings (and it works)

When are we going to get kitkat?
Its kinda weird since US CARRIERS are the first one to receive rather than the international version
So yea when are going to get kitkat?
If i flashed kitkat rom of T-mobile or at&t will there be a problem on my phone?
Hoping for some reply
I'm curious about firmwares, basebands, etc.
Would it be wise to flash a stock based ROM (once 4.4 stock is rooted and released, of course) just to get those, and then go back to cm11?
srf, Vodafone is here, rest probably end of march
Why wait?
You don't need to wait, the kdz file is already released.

Hi -
I have been an iphone guy for last 2 years and Just purchased a new Sprint LG G2 phone from ebay which was sim unlocked. I am from india.
After purchasing found out that this is not factory unlocked and it was rooted and then sim unlocked. After hearing this, i am scared to make any changes on the phone thinking that i might lose my carrier network which i am currently using.
I am currently on:
- Android Version: 4.2.2
- Baseband version: M8974A-AAAANAZM-2.0.20018
- Kernel Version: 3.4.0
- Build number: JDQ39B
- Software version - LS980ZVA
I am kind of intrested in installing different kind of ROM's that are available however i am scared that i might lose simunlock.
Can someone please guide me on things that i can do with this device without losing the unlock?
I am complete newbee and helping me overcome this fear would be appreciated.
Thanks
Sam
Well you can check out the permanent SIM unlock which is for Sprint g2 and even if you switch roms it should still work
Sent from my LG-D800 running stock kk, rooted with philz using XDA app

I still do have a question on what is ZVA, ZV7 or ZV8...........It says in the forum that i need to have ZV8 or ZV7 to install other Roms.

well I really don't know much about the sprint g2 I do know that zv7 was the original firmware that shipped with the sprint g2 and then there was the update to zv8 and then zva and the latest is zvc, zv7 was the easiest to exploit for recovery and zv8 is still exploitable but zva is exploitable but can only use custom roms based on zva and zvc is not exploitable, each of theses is the different radio/baseband for each new update on the sprint g2, you can look around for how to flash roms with the sprint g2 or ask around, I will look around and let you know if I find anything

Hi guys
I should be picking my Korean version Lg G2 tomorrow and I need help with a few things.
The first thing is, from what I've been reading this phone now runs the latest version of android (KitKat 4.4) but if it hasn't already been updated when I get the phone, is it easy for me to do as this is a Korean phone and I'm in the UK?
The other thing is, if its on KitKat 4.4 will I still be able to root it?
Thanks guys
I really need help here guys
Ive now got the phone and its already rooted but its on android 4.2.2.
When i go into "about phone" it says:
Android Version 4.2.2
Kernel version 3.4.0
Software version F320K 10i
Will this guide work to update me to 4.4 and root it:

Another problem.....
I tried to do a OTA update but it just said that my firmware was up to date, so i downloaded the lg pc suite (uk version) and its trying to update it to firmware F320L21V.
From what ive been reading its meant to update to F320K20a.
What should i do because i dont think the F320L21V can be rooted?
Yet another update......
I've just checked all the sticker on the box/phone and the stamp and it says that the phone is a F320L (not K), so i think it must have been flashed with the K firmware my the person i bought it off.
But im still stuck because the F320L21V firmware isn't compatible with ioroot
Any ideas guys ?
i also have f320l. u manage to root it?
there seems be a lack of support for this model.
btw does ur phone have FM? mine don't.
just use the iroot.. it should work with f320
as title says is the the posibility to flash to older roms on this phone. as its very laggy on current many thanks.

I don't have experience with that exact model, but tons of general LG experience and I haven't seen one of their phones that couldn't be downgraded. Google: LG Spirit kdz and find a guide with the instructions and files needed.
For now, there is only stock 5.0.1 for LG Spirit. You cannot downgrade to KitKat or jellybean.
But there are some versions of 5.0.1, for example you can downgrade from 5.0.1 v10c to 5.0.1 v10a but I don't see any point in this.
ok ,thanks for replies.
Hi,
I have LG G2 (d800) and I live outside US (Europe). My problem is that I can not update my phone OTA. I would like to do it manually but, I am totally not familiar with flashing, rooting etc. If you can point me to some "materials" how to do it, I would be very thankfull. Currently I have android version 4.2.2.
