Hi all, Just purchased a LG V20 F800L (Korean version) here in Australia.
It all seems to work well but I would like to change the software to an international one or a more English one.
As some things are still in Korean such as the ringtone list, the phone dialer and especially LG smart world and it will not allow me to log into it.
What I need to know is which firmware would be the best to flash & if some can point me in the right direction on where to start it would be much appreciated.
LG-F800L
Android 7.0
Build number NRD90M
Kernel 3.18.31
Software version F800L10m
My main aim is to get LG Smartworld working and in English

I think the issue here is that there isn't even an international version that has been released at this time. I will be keeping my eyes on this space though for when there is something. I have an F800K and will be changing out the ROM on it to international when/if I get the chance.

1) First you need an international version to be released
2) Then you need someone to post the firmware
3) Then you need the international version to have a bootloader unlock and TWRP and root so you can even do this
4) You need to hope and pray that on v20, unlike Samsung and many others, flashing other SKU firmware will NOT brick the device.
You rolled the dice and got the "wrong" version for your market....There's a strong possibility you're stuck with what you have, or that doing this you'll end up with an $800USD paper weight.
We currently don't have a way to flash firmwares at all.
Thanks guys ill just have to wait and see what happens.
Is there anyway of getting LG Smart world working in English?
any news????
Maybe this will help.

Hi all,
I recently installed fRomFuture ROM, but being an idiot I didn’t take note of which brand it was...
The phone was purchased in the UK on the EE network, does anyone know which brand it will be?
I don’t have the box or the sticker on the back of the mobile.
At the moment in the About phone I have the following incorrect info
EMUI 3.1
Android version 5.1
Build Number NRD90M Test-keys
Model D189-L09
Any help or advice appreciated
Mike
The same things looking for solution.!

Sorry, this is P10, not plus.
Hi all I'm super new to this so I'm hoping someone can help me and I hope I'm doing this right. Thanks for your time ?
I live in Perth, Western Australia and recently bought an unlocked ZTE axon 7 mini (ex display) from a local retailer for a steal.
I can't seem to get it to update though through its native update program (just says network unavailable)
It's running Android 6 marshmallow and I know that it can run nougat (I'm hoping Oreo too maybe? Or soon?) in other countries and I'm hoping one of you brilliant tech wizards can help me as I feel the phone will benefit greatly especially with the battery life. Here's it's particulars
Model - ZTE B2017G
Android v - 6.0.1
Build - ZTE B2017G APV1.0.0B01
If you need any more info (like baseband or kernel, not sure if you need that?) please let me know I'll update this thread.
Thanks again!
Did you manage to update your phone firmware?
Just had the notification for a 1.6Gb update, this mean Oreo has arrived in Europe?
It arrived last week
You really dont read even hwadlines of othwr threads here? We've had eu kdz's for Oreo for days now
No, it's clearly Android P. Er...hang on...maybe not.

No, is a downgrade to kitkat
Got mine yesterday, 8.0.0, EU H870 unlocked, no carrier crap. Bought in Norway and Norwegian SIM, but living in Spain
Since roaming is free now, thank God, Spanish prepaid SIM just when necessary for local services. Galaxy S II still rocking Android 7.1.1 just fine using LineageOS for that one. Definitely better than stock in every way so...
Was hoping for Android 8.1 because it took such a long time, since that's what I'm targeting my apps for (backwards compatibility to 4.1.2). Always nice to have a physical device for your target SDK... Well, emulator. Not many important changes between 8.0 and 8.1 from a developer perspective though, but definitely between 7 and 8. Latest stable Android Studio Gradle version requires 8.1 SDK.
Working fine so far. Gone through all settings to make sure all is as it should be and new ones set to my preferred, since there are quite a few new, mostly minor, settings changes.
Which Firmware Can I Flash For G9750 Model S10 Plus? English Version
You've asked the question I was thinking about asking, but not sure where to put or ask it.
I'm considering buying a new S10+ (G9750) from Wonda Mobile as it's so much cheaper than in the UK, but you also get the slightly better performing device.
So I'm hoping by bumping this thread we might get an answer.
Hi,
there are only two firmwares available for the S10 plus SM-G9750 version april 2019:
- One from China with usless chinese stuff and no Google stuff intended for chinese users: Version: G9750ZCU1ASD4 (ZCU is the chinese version code and CSC is CHC).
- The other one from Hong Kong with Google stuff and intended for international users (Much more langages available at start-up but the very first one will be chinese when the cell phone starts after a factory restet) Version: G9750ZHU1ASD4 (Be sure to have ZHU in the code and CSC is TGY)
So for international users, the only option will be the ZHU firmware version and if you buy it from Canada or England for exemple, sellers are supposed to ship you the Hong-Kong version.
I'm from Canada, I bought it in Canaba and I have tested both firmwares with Magisk.
By the way, you are welcome.
I've just created an account to thank you for the info! I was about to flash mine to the Chinese version thinking it was better!!!!
Have A Play Store In China Firmware ?

As I said above : No Google stuff.
I would like to inform you that with the Chinese firmware, the phone doesn't behave normally: None of the app runs in background so you have to modify that in the settings. if not none of the widgets will work for example.
Samsung pay is pre-installed and there is an annoying white bar at the bottom of the phone (in the navigation bar). you can get rid of it with titanium backup.
As I said, if you are not Chinese, don't use this firmware. If you want to install it, you'll have to download the play store apk.
Does the white bar appear on just the Chinese version or both HK and Chinese versions?
TIA

Just the Chinese version.
Note that you can easily swap between two versions of the firmware, so it doesn't really matter which one the phone is shipped with if buying from Ebay or similar.
And just to echo @oceliome's post — G9750 is a dual-sim version with Snapdragon processor (as opposed to Exynos for dual-sim versions in Europe and elsewhere), so you cannot flash firmware from other dual-sim versions of G975FD.
Almost two months and no updates. It's really unbelievable.
Well from what I am reading here, I'm not going to be buying a new S10 series phone.
I'm not going to buy an inferior Exynos powered one and I'm not prepared to buy a Snapdragon one either which doesn't work with Google Pay or PayPal with 100% reliability and now seemingly isn't receiving any firmware updates.
I've also received reports from my friends that there are significant issues with the Bluetooth connectivity to VW/Audi group cars infotainment systems which seem to prevent you making and taking handsfree phone calls and using Android Auto as well.
I'll be watching the market for something else which meets my requirements.

Hi. I am planning to buy g9750 from expansys and I'm in UAE. Will I be affected in any of the software issues or network issue or something? Need your expert suggestions since you are using one.
Can I change my S10 plus version from G9750ZCU2ASG7 (China) to G9750ZHU2ASG7(Hong Ko
Hi I bought an S10 plus from China with no Google apps. I manually downloaded it but I want Google apps installed as system apps because I'm having issues with my Google assistant. Can I change my Chinese version to Hong Kong version because they are similar if I'm not mistaken. The reason I want to do this so that I can get Google apps preinstalled as system apps.
If I can do this, how do I do it and also do I lose my data on my phone? Also will Google apps now be system apps on my phone.
Thanks in advance.

Reckon the firmware is interchangeable because the same hardware on both variants, I have G9750 (the China mainland one) myself and use Google's bells and whistles but not so much of the Google assistant though (currently located in China mainland) can't be all the time connected to the VPN

The latest firmware for Hong Kong devices (CSC TGY) has English Language Support, all that needs to be done is change the language in settings after startup. You'll have access to Google Playstore, Samsung Pay and many other apps. It also lacks the bloatware associated with carrier branded devices and the bootloader is unlocked which allows you to root the device.
