Hi all,
I recently purchased a brand new, factory sealed, LG-H990DS from Amazon.com in the US. From all the documents that came with it, the unit is from LGE Singapore. However, my firmware is v10f_SEA_XX rather than an SG version (I understand Singapore versions should be _SG, correct?).
Now, I want to downgrade to an earlier security patch (Currently June 1st, 2017), so that I can root the phone and hopefully enable VoLTE (I have it in Quick Settings but it's grayed out and I can't toggle it )
I'm confused about which .kdz to use... there's a bunch of SG and TWN ones, but won't that brick my phone? I already bricked my first H918 (T-Mobile) one by somehow flashing the wrong T-Mo .kdz (in hind-sight I should have checked the md5 sum). I know H990DS is a lot harder to root than TMO so I'm kinda scared. I've rooted/flashed on many, many phones, but the H990DS seems to be the most tricky.
Thanks for your help in advance!
I've got H990DS too and managed to root it.
I am using this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/dirtysanta-h990-t3624296/.
But I've got November 2017 security patch, so I got to downgrade to earlier firmware using this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/restore-v20-to-100-stock-bricked-devices-t3524903. I use oldest firmware available, that is v10b https://lg-firmwares.com/download-file/?fileId=4345. and currently stuck here with 10b. currently figuring out how to update to the latest firmware using KdzFlasher
Hi Boxy52, I have the same phone, the KDZ file you need is (https://lg-firmwares.com/download-file/?fileId=5196) version "V10c", with this you can begin the tutorial writed of the described above by the damadikaz, after you can upgrade the firmware up to version V10h on tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/tool-kdz-writer-t3649818...
Hey damadikaz,
So to confirm - it doesn't matter which region I flash - I won't be bricked, correct? My only concern was if I flashed the wrong region. But if all H990DS firmwares work with eachother, I shouldn't have an issue other than bloat?
Thanks!

Hey pkrename,
You have the SEA firmware as well right, so I've got a question - do you have any bloat ware? Mine has none! My phone shipped with V10f_SEA_XX and I have ZERO bloatware its amazing because I've heard everyone else with SEA firmwares was stuck with a lot of bloatware. Do you think I've got some special version of the ROM? Just want to make sure that I'm indeed on the same ROM as you.
Thanks!

Hi Box, Sorry I'm late, about the firmware bloatwares, I have no problem with them ... at least in my firmware I do not have many bloatwares other than google.
For anyone wondering:
First try the TWN series of Firmware. My phone came with TWN-10C (December 1st Security Patch) so I was able to root straight out of the box. I still use the TWN firmware today (except the latest version as displayed in my signature) as this is the cleanest of Firmwares I've found so far. All I had to do was use Root Uninstaller to uninstall a few Facebook/Instagram/other apps that came with the firmware and that was it.
Secondly, the SEA/SG (South-East Asia and Singapore) firmwares are the same, as seen here
Hope this helped
Hey guys, first time posting so I hope I'm in the right sub.
Here is the thing:
- I bought a phone from a reseller which was sold to me as an SM-G930F with Android Oreo
- When it came home, I noticed it was running Marshmallow, and with further research it appears that the phone is actually the chinese SM-G9300 & it doesn't allow OTA updates
- I got a refund but I could keep the phone
The actual firmware is G9300ZCU2APG2
So the question is: am I able to upgrade that SM-G9300 to Oreo? If so, do I have to install a custom ROM running Oreo, flash a european firmware (or custom?) to allow the update?
Hey guys, One of my friends S7 edge(SM-G935FD)duos unlocked bought in Australia, Probably a grey import is stuck on MM without any updates
Software update Just says no updates available. Tried connecting to Switch, still no luck finding updates.
I been reading that it could be updated through Odin. Just trying to get it updated to Oreo!
Just few questions before i proceed
1. Can Oreo be flashed directly on MM without going to Nougat?
2. Since he is using the phone in Australia can i flash SM-G935F firmware's found on this link? https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7-edge/SM-G935F/XSA/
(just hoping he would get future OTA updates if i flash Australian Firmware. right?)
3. From the above link, how important is the CSC & PDA , can i just choose the latest and flash? Unlocked phone
4. any tips or guides you guys can point me towards
Thank you
sorry, anyone able answer my 1st question if possible?
is there a tg group?
Hi.
I have a G955U Galaxy S8+ AT&T Factory Unlocked on Android 7.0
Baseband Version: G955USQU1AQC9
Android Security Patch Level - April 1, 2017
I no longer live in the US, and currently in the Philippines. Phone works great and the signal is too and all, but I cannot get OTA updates. Every time i try to update it says that its up to date.
I have tried different ways to update it that i read online, The latest one that I have tried is following the steps given from this Thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s8+/how-to/sprint-released-oreo-s8-s8-flashing-t3915872 but it gave me this output https://prnt.sc/oqjnp6
My phone is not rooted or anything just a normal phone. I am just trying to update it to the latest Android Version 9.0(Pie) , I just made this thread for the reason of maybe someone can help me on updating my phone.
Where you able to update it? Or are you still having issues?
