Hi,
I want to change/downgrade my firmware to remove Vodafone branding. Can someone tell me what firmware I can use without unlocking/rooting my phone.
Model - ALE-L21
Build Number - ALE-L21C02B589
Custom Version - CUSTC02D001
Network - Vodafone
Thanks
None, all downgrades requiere an unlocked bootloader.
Here's the guide to unlocking the bootloader

Here's the guide to installing EU firmware (C432) (It says UAE but don't mind that)

Here's the link to download the necessary firmware

I followed these to install EU firmware. I had asian firmware (C636) at first. Hopefully it'll work for you too.
Thanks
Hello. Great news from me ?
I sucessfully changed my ISR firmware to EU firmware. And guess what, no cust error on boot. Yeahh
Its like this:
Just download latest 20p firmware and flash it via lgup 1.14 and uppercut. First set lgup to refurbish and click start. Phone will go to download mode and start flashing. It will give known error *kdz not supporting refurbish* and stop on 4%. Do not exit from download mode on phone. Reopen uppercut and flash 20p firmware in upgrade mode and wait.
After flashing make factory reset phone and voila U have 20p firmware without cust error message
I used this firmware
H85020p_00_EEO_GB_OP_0916.kdz
Happy flashing ?
Pics or screenshots would be appreciated ! Don't get me wrong ! No one wants to brick their phone

It is for H850 eu model. Read for differences between models. If there is no difference, flashing will work. I dont know specs for Canadian model sorry

Try to download 10c or 10e version. Flash it with lgup 1.11 in refurbish mode then on error flash 20p with uppercut. Which region is your phone?

oh,and one more thing, it starts with new carrier apps from Orange (France) i bought i phone from there, i have no idea,i can't even root my phone cause of <waiting for any device> issue in adb fastboot
have changed my fw from 20k open EU to 20 p EEE for GB now. (but device was rooted!) No problems until now.
security level (as expected) Sep. 01/2017
Edit:
Ok, i have found my fault.To use 20p, it was necessary for me to backup cust folder from 20k at first and then to restore him to 20p!
Now i have no problems with BT and my secure level is 9.2017

Hi,
I've got H850 with v20c-ISR-XX firmware, I want to try your guide...
I'm in France, wich .kdz do you suggest for me ? H85020p_00_EEO_GB_OP_0916.kdz is good for me ?
Can you unlock your bootloader now with a EU rom ?
Regards.

NO because you have the wrong IMEI and device ID for official unlocking!

i recommand to update your whole cust folder with all other folders in it at first before updating to 20p!!
You should restore cust folder from 20c ( or your old version!) after backup!
And of curse edit your cust_path_mapping.cfg to your country code ( for me it was ffffffff,11 )
you will find your code entering *#546368#*850#
without this steps, i had many problems with system stability and BT!!!

No way. How to backup cust folder or edit it when our isr g5 is not rootable. We cant unlock bootloader. I'm using 20p firmware after flash from 20c and apsolutely no problems at all. Cust folder is market depending for provider apps, network settings or similar. Firmware is same for all g5 h850 and hardware also.
Cheers
@jaskooo
if you think, it is working alright, ok.....
the main thing is, that you are fully satisfied now!

I have a lg g5 f700l model, which is from Korea. How can I flash h850 version!?
Help
I have the f700l Korean version..... Can I somehow flash the international version!?
What is the firmware on the lg-firmware site marked USA region? (sorry, not allowed to link it or I would) Is it the stock firmware as comes from LG on a normal unlocked ULM V35? If so, can I flash that to my Amazon ULM V35 and retain OTA updates after that?
I bought a lg g6 here in bangladesh , it was refurbished , however the imei is massed up , imei.info says its a galaxy grand. In about phone it says h873 and if try to update my phone it wouldn't let me update saying phone is not registered yet, my question is can i update to oreo using lg up and be safe ? Or would it brick the device.. Current os version is 7.0
I have the same phone and it wouldn't update automatically so I did it manually
but I did not have the Galaxy problem
so flash at your own risk

My H872 is on software 10q. I need to update it to any software between 11g and 20g.
What is the newest software version to date? 20g?
Will LG Bridge install the latest version or can I choose?
Can I update using LGUP to flash a kdz? Are there 11g or 20g kdz available?
Thanks for the help. :good:
Nevermind, I didn't realize I could update OTA without a t-mobile sim.
