I would like to know if it's possible to port the stock ROM of Japanese variant of the LG G2 (L-01F) to an AT&T LG G2?
I travel a LOT to Tokyo and using my phone on AT&T will just cost me an arm and 50 legs when I'm half across the world.
I'm thinking if I just flash the stock ROM of the Docomo version that it'll work, swap out my AT&T SIM card for a Docomo SIM card - flash the ROM and be good on the go. And when I go back to the states I'll just restore the nandroid of my AT&T stock ROM and slip in my AT&T card.
What exactly does it take to port the ROM over? I'm hearing that just flashing the ROM and flashing the AT&T kernel would work just fine.
Thanks for the help!
Bump, I really hope I've posted this in the right section.
I'm not a developer or anything, but wouldn't you need to unlock your phone for this?

Yes my phone is unlocked but some off the apps that are exclusive to Docomo handsets are locked and some are tied to their ROM framework and such. I tried downloading certain apps to see if I can get them to work on the AT&T ROM but it's a no go :\
Hi everyone,
I have tried to understand the cause of my issue with 4g. I bought LG G2 D802 32GB from eBay. It has the software version D80220c-466-92 on android 4.4.2 KitKat. I live in the United kingdom and am on the Three network. I do not have lte option in my phone settings, when selecting 4g in 4g area through secret menu it does not connect to the service although i should be getting 4G.
Does anyone know what i need to do? Do i need to flash something or root? I do not wish to root my device as i need to use the threeintouch app which does not work on rooted devices.
I've looked through this website but im confused, could i flash kdz or something, not sure which one id go for however.
Any help would be greatly appreciated guys and gals.
Many Thanks
Ham
Get european d802220 d or f for 32 gb version have look on second tread in lg g2 general, follow instruction its very very easy, just backup everything you got away from phone, as you will loose everything
Just ordered my wife a G2, it is unlocked however it is the AT&T variant and we are on Tmo. I have read that someone took a Tmo rom and made it possible to flash this to the AT&T model along with the KK baseband so that we can use Tmos wifi calling. However I would like to know if I can simply just flash a Tmo stock image and flash the KK baseband if this will work or am I looking into this all wrong?
This is where I read about the Tmo on AT&T rom:
http://phoneprouser.com/lg-g2-rom-that-supports-wifi-calling-on-att/1007/
Can anyone tell me if the ROM mentioned in the link above is this the latest ROM for the G2? Thank you in advance.
Side Question, if I want to flash Cyanogenmod and still want to retain the wifi calling can I flash the Tmo rom along with the aforementioned KK baseband?

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE AND COMPLETE NO GO, FLASHING A FACTORY IMAGE FOR A DIFFERENT MODEL CAN HARD BRICK YOUR DEVICE, IN FACT I'D PRETTY MUCH GUARANTEE IT!!! GO INTO THE ATT DEVELOPMENT THREAD AND FIND SAID T MOBILE ROM FOR YOUR DEVICE, FLASH THAT IF YOU WANT TO. As an answer to the side question there is no way to retain wifi calling on cyanogenmod, especially on a non tmo device. Finally as for the baseband find out what baseband the respective ROMs need (the tmobile one for ATT G2s or the CM build you choose to use).
Hi all,
I recently bought a Korean version of LG G2 F320S from a friend of mine. I had to get it unlocked so that I can use it outside Korea.
It comes unrooted and is currently running Android KitKat 4.4.2. As I want to explore more, I want to manually update my phone to Lollipop and flash custom roms. But the problem is I am not sure if updating/flashing a complete new rom will make my phone become locked again. Moreover, is CloudyG2 3.3 compatible with my Korean G2 F320s?
Any input is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Did you got it unlocked by the carrier or by any fix too-smart-not-to-pay-a-few-money method?
If you got it unlocked by paying don't think you'll get any errors or relocking. Already tried it with many other phones (htc, Samsung, sony) and never got any errors after paying.
That about compatibility of cloydyfa's Rom is a question I can't tell you for sure, search it in the Q&A thread

afaik, cloudy3.3 was first released for your variant... because korean variants got lp rom first (other variant releases followed few months later)...
to be sure, check the cloudy thread
I am about to purchase this amazing phone, however I would like to use it in my country on GSM network. I want to know whether this particular model has factory GSM unlock like Verizon version or it needs to be SIM unlocked manually.
Also, if it needs to be unlocked separately, does any method available to do the same?
I looked around on XDA but could not find a clear answer.
Thanks..

dirty santa unlocks the uicc, flash the us996 rom or a aosp rom and put in your sim.
otherwise using a cdma phone on a gsm network isnt the best ideal and you should by the unlocked international variant to avoid these issues in the first place. Why buy a carrier phone when you arent using on that carrier? Seems like your trying to go a shady route to me..

Hello, i was using your magisk rom on sprint network but i decided to flash the deodexed stock version that i downloaded from the dirty santa root method since i also have verizon. The issues with that Rom is that it doesnt read the external sd card and it did not get 4g/LTE. It took me a long time and reading to finally 4g and internet working as well as the hot spot tether by replacing the apn.xml file with one i found online. But is there a way you can share a working kernel that fixes the sd card error issue on this deodexed stock rom? Thank you man you're awesome!

If ur using both. Id suggest trying dualboot patcher to swtich between the 2. You should flash a vzw rom with its matching vzw kernel to get it 100%.
Id try the angry albatross aka warewolf kernel or the konverged kernel as they are the most universal.
The kernels i use are for sprint and wouldnt mesh with the us996 rom. Try a Vs995 rom and see how it acts. Thats where you should be pulling the parts you need.
But sd card shouldnt be a issue on any rom as far as i know. May be a sd card error.

Dual boot patcher? ? i actually dont want it on sprint lol i have an lg g5 for my sprint account. I just wish i could get sd card reader working and thank you for the advice. I did try the warewolf kernel a few weeks ago before i got the 4g internet to work on this rom but performance sucked so i went back to magisk.
This is what im running on my ls997 currently working on verizon with hot spot enabled.
Put ur sd card into pc. And run the sd repair and put back in
Edit:
Try a Vzw rom fully. Us996 is unlocked rom and is gsm based.. Do VS995 rom.

My sd card is not corrupted. It reads fine from the file manager on cwm and any other rom. Is that a software for repairing sd cards what you are suggesting? And i am afraid to try any other roms that are not ls997, i dont want to brick or be stock on a firmware that is going to give me more bugs then what i have.

I would try it lol.. U have twrp backups and ur hust flashing a dif rom.Worst it won't boot but they are on us996 bootloader also. Shouldn't be any diff. May need to find somone with modem backup to get their radios.
Give me a min. Ill go find a vzw rom and flash it on my dualboot lol
You could also flash the rr aosp rom. Its nice. It would be better fit to run a dif carrier also.

As far as the picture messaging which is the second issue, Looking on google it sounds like it has to do with the apns-conf.xml file. Someone said they deleted the cbs parts of the file but if i do it and save it. The rest of the apns disappear from apn setting under settings. Here is the info i have on my .xml file

How did you manage to get 4g on the US996 rom? I am having the same issue with that rom.
@Ablazelemon2 Just several posts below is my short guide - please try it - you should be able to use non Sprint SIM.
Oooo Boost...
Ok. I hope Im posting this in the correct area. Please forgive me if I am not.
I purchased a refurbished LG V20 LS997. It's a Sprint model obviously.
It has a clean esn. Verified through the Sprint portal.
I am trying to get it onto the Boost network.
I previously had my Sprint LG G3 LS990 running flawlessly on Boost.
The V20 should work just as well.
My issue that I keep running into is that the V20 I have still has a SIM number attached to it. However, the device did not come with a SIM card at all.
Sprint WILL NOT free the SIM number from the device in order for me to insert and use a Boost SIM.
When I attempt to swap the device myself I am prompted with an error message about the SIM.
When I call Boost to get this process taken care of, they run into the same error.
Now I am aware that the V20 is not present on the list of accepted sprint devices.
However, there is a Boost mobile variant of the V20 directly through LG.
So I am CERTAIN this will work on the Boost network.
Only thing holding the process back is the SIM that is locked to the device.
Does anyone have any idea what I should do here?
I am lost.
Thank you in advance!

Check the software version.. If it is zv5 then you can unlock it from the hidden menu.. What you can do and what is available for you is dependant on the software version... If you are on an older software version do not upgrade to the newest since you will not have root options..

Thank you for replying!
I have the ZVB Software Version on the device.
Aside form that, I got it activated this evening at a local Boost store. It seems as though all that needed to happen was to get a proper SIM card for it. The employee used a "Bring Your Own PHONE SIM Card Activation Kit". It has an orange package vs. the white packaging for the incompatible SIM I had purchased from the other Boost store I had gone to.
The process was rather painless and took only a few minutes to get the phone up and running on the network.
It cost me $30 and a small amount of patients.
This phone is phenomenal and I am very thankful for the employee that got it working for me.
Thank you again ScottieRotten.
If anyone has any questions about getting the Sprint LG V20 LS997 onto the Boost network, feel free to ask me anything and I will gladly help.

Interesting. My wife used to be a Boost customer. I bought her a LS997 about a year ago, and I intended to just swap her old phone and stay with Boost. However, Boost insisted that they could not activate the V20 on their network. We therefore ported her number to Twigby, and the V20 has been working great on Twigby ever since. Boost lost a long term customer due to their stupid BYOD restrictions.
Note that this discussion is unrelated to the OP though. Boost and Twigby both operate on the Sprint network, so no SIM unlock is needed for them.

Yes it was a bit of hoop jump but as long as the proper SIM is used, you can use just about any Sprint phone on Boost. They swore up and down that "it wasn't a compatible device" but I just insisted they try until they did. And it worked!
Thanks!
