Checked everyday and today there is a new Kdz for my BAL euro h815.
It should be substantially the same update as in the other v10c thread but their could be a Brand version, mine is for sure for the euro UNBRANDED version.
I'm on root now so I can't flash it but anyone who flashes it pleas pull system.img to SD card and upload it (following the h815 backup system.img of the root thread).
Thank you all, HERE the link http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FWEBK7M1324DAAA5C3C7U7F/H81510C_00.kdz
Yes, no brand. However it seems that version posted in the other v10c thread was for no brand too. If so, my mistake.
Changelog is the same as previous update and, as previously mentioned, it would become v10c but probably V10d in build prop
Can you back up your full partition and share it with me?
Can you back up your full partition and share it with me? I need it .please help me! mine is not the EUR's
What do you mean? There is a prerooted v10c(d) system.img on the root thread.
1. Flashed v10c(d) Kdz with normal flash
2. Rooted flashing prerooted v10c(d) system.img
3. Enjoy
Autoprime said that bootloader version is not incremented so you can always downgrade flashing previous Kdz
Mine is branded 815 USA. Used the prerooted 10D system file however in about it still says 10b..?

Some people noticed this when they flashed the rooted 10c image. It still showed 10b. It's not an issue, just ignore it
Or you could try flashing again over the top of itself to see if that fixes it.

Full partition backup file for EUR's G4.Mine is the US G4. I need it .Your mobile is EU's
I flashed this to my O2UK Branded G4 in the hope to become unbranded. Everything seems to work fine and the update feels really smooth. The only issue I have is that I get this error on boot:
WARNING!
Current version is not available for user. Can't find matched cust for NT-code mmc/mnc[23410], subset[02]
maybe someone knows what this means? Like I say everything seems to work like data and calls so I'm happy to just ignore it for now.

I have a 10/b with unlocked bootloader, after flashing 10c with lg flash tools, can I root it with low effot method?
You can flash Kdz choosing "normal" this will not erase your data partition.
Yes failax you can root using a prerooted v10d image
This is the Best version even charging is a bit faster now with the screen on. Before it would just stay there not moving up when screen is on.

Hello maybe you can help me, I'm on the the 10b/c build for the H815 G4 and Im rooted unlocked bootloader using this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/howto-unlock-twrp-root-1-thread-t3130538
Now a new method for root has poped up over here but it says if your firmware doesn't match i will need to OTA to the proper version or wait.

Can you please clarify for me your steps either here or by private message as i want to upgrade to the latest 10c/d patch. i'm coming form samusing based phone and im little confused by flashing pre-rooted images and the root method went waaaaaaay over my head.
If anyone else can help point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.

With an unlocked bootloader you won't need the "low effort root" - just update with KDZ and install root through twrp again...

(V10c, fixes stagefright) This is for the taiwan H815, so probably if you bought it from ebay (tropical mobile, never msrp)
1. Flash 10C KDZ first
2. flash root w/ this image

Why is it necessary to flash the 10c KDz first?
Im on the H815 10f rooted system image for all H815 variants posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/h815-10f-rooted-img-t3184363
I flashed that 10f over the SEA 10b rooted image and all is fine. However I lost exfat.
I'm hoping, that this TWN10c version is essentially the Asian version of the H815 10f and, that I can flash this version over the H815 10f to regain exfat support.
Still...Im not quite sure why its necessary to first flash the 10c KDZ

Most people don't actually have to, but for some reason I was getting boot up errors until I did. This is the same version as 10F, you get the stagefright fixes (and exfat too!) as well as the slow mo camera, and all the touch improvements.

You're mixing systems up. Probably not a big deal, but it's not keeping everything the same. The 10F line of images if not for the Asian 815 devices. I would advise you update to 10C official update (from OP) then root using OP files.
10F and 10C are at the same level as far as Android is concerned. The difference in versions is carrier updates etc.

I think the SEA version is for the Singapore version.
See the "Buyer" column in this link
http://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/country.php?country=Singapore
Based on the link above from devtester, there doesn't seem to be any 10C for the SEA version, nor any 'official' Live Date just yet
As compared to the Taiwan version where the live date and 10C firmware already available for download here:

Is this flashed in the same way as in the Low Effort Root (with the same seek and count as in the Int'l 815 dd command) or in some other way? (I'm already rooted by that method.)

I appreciate everybody's help. However I can't tell if the the correct firmware listed is for US XT1644 FIRMWARE. I see I have the correct build. I have as of yet not unlocked my device. However I want to load my own backup all my images using dd command except data. Upload and post links for the United States build, as I just don't see nothing. Any help to the stock build United States build XT1644 would be great? Thanks
Also when unlocking the my device is there any issues I will run into, off the top of your heads?

yup but .9 is the latest. it has fixes for battery and the phone. i flashed it via fastboot on my XT6144 and it works great.
Well, the -49 (not 9) it's not to be found on Moto US website or OTA, it just appeared here like magic and the change log (supposedly) here. So I am not sure about it's provenience and that the fixes are not a placebo.
Anyway, I understand the "itch" to install it. Because I am so tempted myself
LE: Well, I did it. Flashed the MJP24.139-49 on my XT1644, I am restoring the apps now from backup.
Are these TWRP flashable or fastboot?
Yes, fastboot is avail after you unlock the bootloader on Motorola site (loosing the warranty).
I have booted into TWRP to root (SU systemless method), but didn't actually flash it (because I don't plan to switch to CM at this point).

I'm already on CM but there's the bug preventing me from receiving calls unless I turn off LTE. I'd prefer to not lose root and don't have access to a PC, so if I can wipe and flash this in TWRP, that would be perfect.
No, you can't, you need the standard recovery to get back to stock. Then you can root as I said.
As for CM13, I had used it (beta and after that nightlies) on one of my previous devices (Asus, based on Snapdragon 615, 64 bit, 3GB RAM)... but it was too unstable to use as a daily phone. Always something to be "fixed" and very often something else was breaking. Disappointed...
Security Patch Level
Can someone who has flashed the -49 build confirm what the security patch level is? Just wondering if it's the same update India and Europe received OTA.
I m on stock rom unrooted with locked bootloader with built no : NPNS25.137-93-10 (April patch).
So my question is how to switch to NPNS25.137-92-14 (JUNE patch), how to do it ?plz help
Why do you want to change to India/Brazil software, safer to just wait for the US, Europe, Retpac version.
Damn, just noticed retin, just fastboot 92.14.
Then you can update to official oreo
Stable version is releasing soon, wait for sometime.

92-14 is firmware for India and Brazil, 93-14 is for Europe,US and Asia Pacific.
It's possible to flash one over the other but you'll change your software channel and may not receive future OTA.
Better to wait for the 8.1 firmware for your region.
Losing IMEI,volte or 4g most likely only happens when you flash a 64 bit custom ROM.
To be on the safe side make a full nandroid backup incl. EFS and persist with latest TWRP 3.2.3.1

The name of the software channel doesn't change if you flash another firmware version so it's safe from that point of view.
The only thing that's changing is the fact that you don't receive any OTA updates anymore.
The screenshot of the op only shows that he once flashed a firmware that was meant to be used on a US or european device.

Hello LG fans,
There is an old thread with a similar title, but since it is inactive I started this one. For certain reasons I got this G4 phone only few days ago. The model number on the box and under-battery tag as well as in settings showed F500 (just F500 without any suffix S, L, or K). It came with Android 5.1, and everything was working well. Online search showed that F500X phones can be officially updated to Nougat 7.0, but the phone OTA update said no update was available.
As per LG website, I installed LG Bridge to get the updates. It identified the phone as F500K and found two updates. First it installed 6.0 Marshmallow and then 7.0 Nougat software version F500K30c. Also the model no changed to F500K in settings. I think this probably means it is is a refurbished phone
The Installation was successful, but it installed a Korea Telecom version with some Korean stuff. I uninstalled or disabled all the Korean bloat I could without root, but there are still a few things remaining, and some Korean language here and there.
In general, I’m quite satisfied with the phone. The only thing I wish to get rid of is the KT Wifi manager app which is all in Korean, and I don’t know what it does or which settings to select. It is a system app, and I can’t uninstall or disable it, but my wifi and data networks seem to be working fine, so no complaints. I’ve seen several people here and elsewhere complaining about network issues, boot loops and bricks, but so far I haven’t experienced any. I hope it stays this way :fingers-crossed:
I was wondering about the other variants F500S and F500L, do they also have Korean bloat and is it more or less than F500K? I have read somewhere that these three firmware variants can be interchangeably installed. Is this the case, and if so, is it advisable to install another variant? I have been reading about this phone, but this is my first time to use an LG phones, and I have no experience with their software and tools, so any help, ideas or suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

You could
downgrade to MM,
backup with SALT (CRUCIAL important),
unlock by UsU ,
extract with SALT: system ,modem and boot partitions from a f500 kdz,
root and debloat or (if you like to) install a custom ROM
Check the UsU and SALT threads (you can find both in my signature)

Thank you @steadfasterX for your reply,
It's quite an honor the Guru himself was the first to reply to my post. I have seen many of your posts and replies in the forum before, and now looked at some of the stuff in your signature. Pretty impressive work. I definitely need to spend some time learning about them particularly SALT and FWUL, as I have also started learning and using Linux lately. How come FWUL is not shown on distrowatch?
For the time being, I was thinking to stick to stock Nougat 7.0 as it's a fairly recent OS, and the phone is fine even with the remaining little Korean stuff. My main dissatisfaction really is with the mysterious kt wifi manager app which is all in Korean and has some settings which I don't know what they are. If just replacing the current Nougat 7.0 with another variant S or L is actually possible, and these variants don't have a similar app, this would be great.
I have been searching for information about these S/L/K firmware variant differences but couldn't find much. I hope other S & L phone owners could tell us about their phones. The only thing I could find so far is that each is for a different carrier in Korea, and that they can be interchangeably installed as per a Reddit post. I don't know how reliable this information is!
From a purely technical perspective for G4 F500 , is it possible to flash another F500 variant using LGUP, or is this something that shouldn't be done? I have seen many people getting in trouble for flashing wrong firmware. If this is safe to do, do I need to do any preparation work like downgrading to MM first, and should this be done as an upgrade or a refurbish? For what it's worth, my ARB value is 0.
Thanks

Hi Sfx,
1. to downgrade to MM... use uppercut, right? I'm using latest 20u for F500l is OK for UsU?
2. after backing up with SALT, can I revert back anytime after unlock and with new custom ROM?
3. after rooting, do I install twrp and load custom ROM? and can I extract 30b Nougat's modem from KDZ to use with the custom ROM?
thanks so much in advance for answering...:angel:

ok so one thing first. the most important one: Ensure you keep your ARB at 0. This is crucial important. So never ever flash anything (including QFIL restore files!!!) where you are not 10000% sure it wouldn't increase your ARB.
If you are about to flash a KDZ then check that file with SALT first (simply press extract and it will display the ARB). If you flash anything else.. well ensure that the files offered have that information listed and hope and pray its not wrong (e.g. there are QFIL files around which are labeled for a ARB 0 model but contain ARB2 files..). Never heard about a wrong labeled KDZ file but who knows.
The second important thing is (maybe its even the first): before doing anything, do a full backup with SALT (basic is fine) and (!!) move that to a secure place! (I saw so many ppl who lost their backup through several ways).
So when going on through the UsU process you will have 2 SALT backups: the one before downgrading to MM and another one after you downgraded to MM (tbh the more important one). If you can keep them both.
so about flashing other variants: yes it IS technically possible to even flash e.g. h815 ROMs to a F500 and so converting it that way! but never try that with h811 KDZs or others..
anyways yea you could flash other F500 variants without fear (just carrier bloat is different) as long as you follow the above advises.

Hi Sfx,
1. to downgrade to MM... use uppercut, right? I'm using latest 20u for F500l is OK for UsU?
2. after backing up with SALT, can I revert back anytime after unlock and with new custom ROM?
3. after rooting, do I install twrp and load custom ROM? and can I extract 30b Nougat's modem from KDZ to use with the custom ROM?
thanks so much in advance for answering...:angel:

1. I dunno the latest MM F500 version but "20u" sounds good. Can't help in the downgrade process but there are plenty of guides here in the G4 forums.
2. dunno that you mean here.. but if you wanna know if you can stay on STOCK after UsU'ing yea sure. flashing UsU does not require to go for a custom ROM. It just gives you the freedom to do so.
3. if you follow the UsU guide you will have TWRP already and that's the place where you install a custom ROM if you like. Sure extract the 30b modem and flash it in fastboot should work fine (after UsU).

Thanks sfx, I'm now on MM and ready to get SALTed I want to flash AEX v6.7 But there are two offerings H811 and H815, and my F500L in SALT say GPT compatibility is H811 /ARB0, so do I flash H811 version of AEX?? If so, is there a H811_UsU_baseband_flash-in-twrp I need to flash as well? thz

if you would flash h811 on yours you will increase your ARB so do NOT flash that.
Use a h815 based ROM even when SALT compat shows different. your partition layout is somehow weird..
for non-UsU ROMs flash the f500(!!) baseband package once
