[Q] G2 Korean vs Europe Versions - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys.
I'm thinking about buying LG G2 for myself, and i really like Korean version since removable battery and SD card.
... So that's why I have few questions about that version.
Anyone here know what are differences between F320S, F320K and F320L? Anyone of those are better than other?
Will they work normally in Europe? I mean calls, LTE etc. Are they same standard GSM, UMTS, LTE as D802? I'm from Poland.
Will it be possible to change ROM (for Language, battery drain, etc)?
Is this good idea to have this version in Europe or this phone will be troubleshooting?

rom 5.0.2
i have got vodafone 5.0.2 official if u want

[Q] flashing a rom question

hi im getting a Korean version lg g2 and im wondering when europes firmware/rom is released will I be able to flash it over the Korean version or will this brick the phone/stop it from working thanks in advance.
dose nobody know the answer to this question
can I flash a international rom over the Korean version of this phone someone must know this
will I be able to flash LG G2 D802 (uk model) firmware on lg g2 f320 (Korean model)or will it brick the phone please there must be someone out there who can answer this
Most likely will lead to a brick. Why are you worried about this anyway? You can change the language of the Korean model
just thought I would have problems updating Korean software from the uk also would like to remove the Korean only apps like their mobile tv
I second this question. I'm having radio/modem issues (slow and bad connectivity) with my F320S in Germany on T-Mobile. Can I flash a D802 Firmware?
It seems like the f320 variant is the black sleep of the G2 family, little to no development support.

[Q] Whats difference between D800 , D801 , D802 and D803?

hi
i want to buy a LG G2.but I'm hesitating between two options
One of the most important things that i want from the phone, it is a good development.
Which model of LG G-2 has better support & development ? (Or will support In future)
And what is the difference between these models? (D800, D801, D802, D803) In my country, there is only D802 for sale.
Each model is for a different cell company.
Which model is international?
in fact which of these models is the original and general model?
When L9 was released P768 model released here. Developer of the conventional model, the model p760. Before I buy this phone, i want to make sure that this version will be well supported by developers.
I think you know what I mean.

I would think that would depend on the developer. Each of the models uses a different base (thus the different model numbers) Some are are easier to start with as others are more gunked up. It simply depends on which one the developers prefer working with. Either way, whatever phone company you are with you will still be able to get a rom for it no matter what base the developers use. I think the d802 model is the international one.
D802 is the international version
yeah, thanks!

Do a simple search bro
Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app
I'm sure the D803 (Canadian) will work on the 3G network for AT&T,T-Mobile/MetroPCS.
Do you guys know if it would also work on LTE for AT&T and T-Mobile? Rogers uses LTE bands 2100 / 2600 MHz but the phone is also compatible with Telus and Bell. I hope one of the Canadian carriers use the same LTE band as T-Mobile...
D803 version
Does this version has themes? The AT&T version does not have the themes option..
what does that mean for the rom devs ? I have a d802 and i want a rom that supports d800. So is there a hardware difference or can i install d800 roms on d802 ?
Specs for D801
I am planning buy D801 with Wind , but when i do little research in my ,country, they sell D802. So my question is Can I use D801 for international ?

FYI, this is generally correct however at least one Canadian carrier (Wind) uses the D801.

hi guys, im from Canada, and have a D803 model, would like to root and install vanilla android, but Im not finding D803 roms, or I can install the ones that are for the D802?

I have the Videotron version and it is the D801. Still no KitKat update, but since T-Mo is updating now I don't think it will take very long to get it from Videotron.

You can install ROMs for the d802 onto the d803. However, you must install a d803 kernel right after, before booting!
I've run the d802 version of SlimKat with the d803 kernel from dr87 without issues.
D803 ROMs and kernels are in the LG G2 Original Android Development forum. There's actually quite a few of them available in there.

If the only difference in hardware is frequencies yes you can install .. Make sure you flash the orginal kernel (d802 kernel) right after flashing the rom.

LG G2 (Korea Version F320)

Please excuse my ignorance.
Can anyone tell me what LTE bands that the F320 supports. I understand that there are 3 variants in Korea. S, L and K.
Do they all support different bands? Is there a reason they don't support the same bands as the D802? Is there anyway i can flash a modem from D802 onto a f320 model to get more LTE band support.
This is probably a stupid question but i'm just curious as to whether i should import or not.

No way. That's the whole point of different model. If there would be a way why they'll didn't just make one common model in the first place?

Please help asap

HI, really sorry if this is a noob question but would someone be able to answer this asap. I live in the UK and purchased an S5 off ebay it stated it was the SM-G900F (UK varient I believe) but upon delivery I checked and its the SM-G900S which is the Korean vairent.
So I put my sim in and it displays that im roaming which is obviously wrong. Can I just flash a UK rom and will everything work like uk varient or is the radio bands or anything else different. Please answer asap as I will need to contact ebay.
Also is this 4G version and will it work in UK?

Here are the specs http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=5448&c=samsung_sm-g900s_galaxy_s5_lte-a_samsung_pacific and here http://www.droidgod.com/2014/05/samsung-galaxy-s5-sm-g900s-full-specifications-features/. It looks quite similar for the G900F but check if the supportd LTE bands are compatible.

No, LTE bands are defined in the radio chip. You cannot change these bands by flash a different rom or modem.

Yes, as the cpu/gpu, screen and reoslution are similar i guess you could do that. Don`t know the supported LTE bands of the 900S though. Maybe its best to file a complaint to Ebay about the seller misleading you as you probably will not have warranty either.

transform SEA model to EUR model

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.
