I'm from uk and have flashed many kdz from different regions without any problems. Currently I am on 20w-eur the latest for uk is 20u.I have flashed from Poland and Spain before without any issues although I would recommend flashing kdz roms near to your country ie if you are in the UK not to flash a China kdz but technically I think you can flash any.
Remember to read the LG Fashtool guide thoroughly and do not disconnect until your phone as thoroughly flashed and rebooted.

I am from Romania but the phone is unlocked.
I have a little bug which really annoys me: When i select swype to unlock the phone, after i swype, there is a little lag, around 0,5-1 second, before the virtual menu buttons appear. However, if i select PIN to unlock the phone, this lag doesn't appear and the virtual menu buttons appear instantly.
I was wondering if there is something to do with my rom, V20t, and i wanted to try a different one, but i want to be sure it is safe because this is my first LG and my first experience with flashing roms. I am full stock, not even rooted.
Thank you.

Nothing is 100% safe but if you want the latest firmware without too much technical knowledge then using flashtool is probably the best way to go.
Just follow the instructions on how to use flashtool and make sure you understand everything and you will be ok.Just remember don't unplug your phone from the computer until it as totally flashed and rebooted and you should be fine.
I have used flashtool many times and not had any problems you could always wait for the Android M update ota but that may not be until after Christmas.

Motherboard changed, but various features not working

My phone was working fine and suddenly one day it got stuck on booting screen, then i have tried everything including flashing Rom, but all in vain, finally i ordered a new motherboard from aliexpress.com, the phone got started but everything is in Chinese language, play store was not there and even it is not working when installed from other sources, even whatsapp not working and i am not able to install without google play store. Earlier version installed in the new chinese motherboard was android 4.1.2 and it was asking for software update , when i have updated its software to 4.3 , baseband version N7100ZCUEB1 AND KERNEL VERSION 3.2.31-2859655, BUILD NUMBER JSS15J.N7100CUEOK1.,due to chinese version i am not able to use whatsapp or playstore.After updating the phone, i am not able to make a call and it shows the error "not registered on network" even the apps installed by me are not working, kindly advice what to do, should i use any other version or anything else.This is a chinese motherboard and i want change its software to indian version, what should i do?

Boot into download mode to confirm the model #. If it is a Note 2 made for the Chinese market, the Play store may not function on the phone.

Hmm, looks like it might be the China version of the Note 2 which has limited features. Search XDA for the Note 2 China version and you'll see that many people have problems with flashing ROMs.
Can you send it back and get the international version of the motherboard?

It may be international version because it is shipped for India, is it possible to flash any other ROM and if yes pls guide me how to do, coz i have never done this before. Thanks in advance

If the phone was the international version, it should say "GT-N7100" in Odin mode. See the picture from post number 1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618261

There's nothing wrong. You need to write the IMEI to the phone memory. By the way you didn't need to buy the entire motherboard. Only the phone memory (16gb eMMC) was corrupt. Samsung produced faulty emmc in the early S3 and Note 2 models (google and you'll see). Mine had same problem I took it to repair shop and they replaced the emmc and wrote the IMEI. Charged me around $40 in local currency. Just tell them you have corrupt IMEI and they'll do it for very little amount of money. After you do that, flash TWRP custom recovery and take back up of your EFS and Modem folder (the IMEI is located here). Then you can upgrade to 4.4.2 and restore EFS and Modem from TWRP.

I don't think it is corrupt or defective chip since 4.3 successfully installed on the phone.

i have changed the CSC code from CHN to INU, after then when i went to recovery mode it shows INU in place of CHN, but i was not able to flash indian ROM in that via odin 3.09, it shows the message "nand write start : failed" and finally failed.
When tried with ODIN 3.07 it shows the error, serial port is not communicating , while USB debugging is allowed in my phone.In recov ery mode it shows the phone detail GT-N7100_CHN_CHINEXYNOS4412 and downside it shows CSC code INU, could any one suggest which ROM to FLASH and how?
CWM recovery is already flashed in it and it is already rooted.
I tried to flash offical 4.4.2 ROM indian version and failed , could anybody pls suggest anything else.

I know of no way to flash a non-Chinese ROM to this phone. I have seen people try to get a ROM onto a Chinese phone. When they do get the ROM installed, The Play store will not run.
The CSC is simply a carrier customization. The problem is the bootloader which prevent the installation of non-authorized ROMs.

This ROM is not official, it is a custom ROM as seen in recovery mode.

Based on your first post, the phone looks to be running official 4.3 Chinese rom: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-N7100/CHN/
All Samsung phones made for mainland China have very tight restrictions on the rom, bootloader, and apps.

i think you misunderstood my post...I said his PREVIOUS emmc was faulty. Now that he bought and entirely new motherboard( which has the emmc) he everything is fine. He just needs to write the IMEI to connect to network (not registered on network error).

Hey if you can't flash other ROMs from odin..
take it to repair shop, they have 3rd party hardware flashing tools, they'll flash the latest 4.4.2 international rom.

I'm not sure if it's possible to flash an international ROM on the phone. Also, the phone may not have the necessary hardware to support the carrier's radio frequencies. If the phone shows the correct imei, not being able to connect to a cell carrier could be a hardware limitation.

before up-gradation of this new chinese rom , network was working fine , so it must be enabled for the frequency range.

The phone may have been running a custom ROM or a hack to allow the phone to work with your carrier? I'm not sure but it does sound like the motherboard is made for mainland China.

Issues with HTC 10 from AU / KDDI in Japan

Good morning,
I've recently moved to Japan and purchased an HTC 10 from AU / KDDI. The version information is as follows: CID KDDI_801, MID 2PS670000 / htc_pmeuhljapan. This is my first time dealing with a non-US phone. I've unlocked, s-offed, etc and installed CyanogenMod on my US HTC phones. I've managed to S-OFF / Unlock the AU phone. However, I was unable to root without TWRP or backup the stock recovery. So I flashed TWRP onto it, rooted and that whole deal without issue. I've also backed up my System Image / Boot.
This broke my OTA updates (surprise surprise) but I found an update here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/help/htc-10-au-japan-ota-zip-file-t3490829/page2 and attempted to flash. I cannot flash the entire zip file, however, my phone will take the firmware file within. This seems to update the firmware from 1.28 to 1.95. However, this breaks the phone's WiFi (WiFi won't see any networks), but seems to re-install stock recovery.
Still, the OTA updates failed. So I reflashed TWRP recovery and restored my backup. WiFi works just fine again. After I restore the backup it says OS-1.95.970.4 in download mode, however, in the OS itself it shows the old build number 1.28.xxxx. Does anyone have an applicable copy of the stock recovery I can throw on there and attempt to get an OTA update? If not, would international ROM's work with this phone or do I need to find Japan specific? I know they have some of their own bands so I'm not sure of compatibility issues. If you need any additional information please let me know. Sorry if any of the questions / circumstances seem ridiculous, again, I've never had to deal with a non-US phone so there's a bit less information available.

i also use htc 10 of Au japan, can you upload an stock or backup of stock of it. my phone cant boot now

is this phone water proof?

LG G7 Firmware brand and OTA

Hello, today i recived an LG G7, but it has firmware brand (TIM)
I was wondering if I changed the firmware with another one, would I get the automatic updates via ota?
Thanks

I bought a TIM branded device, flashed stock 10k OPEN kdz and I don't think the OTA is working

i have the same issue, someone can help?

I also had tim and when I switched to no brand I stopped receiving ota and also lg bridge no longer updates my phone. I now use LGUP every time there is an update and do a manual upgrade. The lg bridge update log says the phone fails an imei test so I believe there's no other way to update for me and probably for you too.

If it was pure open stock, it shouldn't show that "222-01" thing in software info. It should be "EUR-XX". And I can't make it that way. I'm wondering if anybody achieved it.

Same issue..received a Tim branded G7 so installed GBR open firmware from LG fan now all good no branding just no OTA UPDATES..Anyone know of a fix for this save flashing every new update.?
Any help/information much appreciated....
I’m going to try and flash the Italy open rom if there is one...see if that makes any difference..
What is the Italy code? Is it ITC?

So i flashed a few open firmwares..ITC and GBR open latest ones and earleir releases and none would OTA update only flashing back to origanal TIM firmware did it update OTA.
So its put up with branding etc and get all ota updates or flash a EU open firmware and keep doing this with every update.

No, only with hands through lgup

So is there any way for users to istall an open F.W so you don’t have network branding or bloatware
And still receive the OTA updates?and security patches
I know it don’t really make a massive difference but the branding and boot screen really winds me up for some reason..
I could send device back as I purchased in the uk thinking it would be a uk phone but it’s Italian..still says LG-G710EM so I guess it’s the Euro variant..

guys, for LMG710EM which firmware should i flash to remove brand?
thanks in advance

Any that’s an open for your regional area...
Be aware if you do this you will no longer receive OTA updates.

I'm asking because i'm fresh in this topic (and generally in android) and i prefer to ask before i do something wrong.
Yes, i know that i will no longer receive OTA updates what is quite logic, but manual update via LGup isn't a big problem for me. Just less convenience.
So, for Poland, firmware G710EM10q_00_OPEN_EU_OP_1219.kdz should be okay, yes? and one more question, the process of updating via LGup looks like normal firmware updating (keeping the configuration and data) or like clean firmware flashing?

Yes that’s an okay firmware for Poland and yes LGUP wipes and gives clean install each time I’ve used it..there maybe a way to upgrade once you have initial new firmware as you don’t want issues so clean install is best to start then investigate upgrade for next time.

When should 9.0 roll out? the G8 already released with it...

stock XT1922-2 doen't autom.update, wrong software channel: upgrade w/o unlocking?

Hello, I bought a Moto G6 play XT922-2 (locked bootloader, retail) off a British seller. The phone looks new and works good, but it doen't receive any security or software updates it's stuck to Android 8.0 june 18 patch (OPP27.91.87, baseband R JETER_CUST).
I got in contact with Motorola and they said that while they can't take it in for assistance (i've got no receipt), and while the phone appears to be totally legit, they suspect the issue is the software channel, that's from an Italian carrier: "the software channel TIM Italy is not compatible with the version installed on my phone (Europe Retail Channel)". Apparently the seller used to hang around here
Now my questions are:
1. Can I use the stock .zip images found in mirrors.lolinet - official moto firmware to upgrade my phone without unlocking the bootloader and using a recovery, by using the standard bootloader and an external SD card for instance?
2. If that's the case, should I upgrade incrementally (like from OPP27.91.87 to the next one, up until Pie?) Should I continue using the TIMIT channel (the one installed on the phone) or could I choose to flash a RETAIL one, hoping to fix the Morotola automatic update process?
I haven't been modding for a few years, so any link to guides or procedures (if needed) would be very valuable for me.
Thanks in advance!

You can use whichever one you want. You don't have to go incrementally because they are not update zips. They are full firmwares.
You don't have to unlock the bootloader to flash official firmware.
You have either
1. Extract the zip and flash all files in fastboot (commands are in the flashfile XML) or
2. Flash the firmware with RSDlite
