folks this is important and could save you your phone
there is a visual similarity between the Nitro HD P930 and a very similar looking phone, the Optimus LTE LU-6200.
there have been some questions in the forum over cross compatibility on the software. currently it isn't.
if you flash the wrong software to the wrong phone this could result in a brick.
please be aware and pick the right software?
regards
Chris
Thanks for your warning.
But i guess the P930 is the canadian Bell version, i have this ROM version from day one on my korean LU6200 device and it works.
I dont flash a Nitro HD ROM to my phone, because it could be a big problem (brick).
LU6200
SU640
Nitro HD (AT&T)
P930 (Bell)
Thats the devices i know at this time.
Someone figured out how to 'hack' the SU-640 GB ROM and port it to the LU-6200. Guess what, they are both Asian SKU's. We are referring to the ICS development ROM that was leaked in Asia a week or so ago. As of right now, no one has figured out a way to get it onto a North American P930. Until that time comes, don't assume that it will work.

Hi Chris, thank you for the warning to all the users, but if I may suggest, can you also sticky this warning in the General area, since most of the discussions seems to take place there.

Canadian Optimus LTE (BELL P930) has the same name as Optimus LTE (korean version) and yet hardware is the same as NitroHD
It is similar to the SU-640, not the LU-6200.
In canada its a P935

ummmm actually in Canada its a " Bell Optimus LTE P930 " to be exact..
i would know as im holding mine in my hand to confirm this
From what I am hearing there are two versions of the same phone in canada depending on the carrier...I think bell is the p930 similar to the nitro hd and the su640
I think that another carrier came out with the p935 which is the same phone essentially...but stuff enough might be different to make it not compatible with what those of us with p930's have.
interesting cuz i thought this was the only one of its kind
but hey... all i know is LG has some nice hardware in this lil package, and id love to see some CM lovin for us.. otherwise, my plans to swap over to a galaxy nexus will still take place, that is once i can afford it... this damn LG sucked out $630 before tax's as i bought it outright then another $30 for unlocking
TELUS has the P935, while Bell has the P930. They are both related to the AT&T Nitro HD but with a slightly different baseband. The LU-6200 is a different animal all together. Different bootloader, different ROM, different baseband.
Does the AT&T version have any model number to go along with it or is it just known as Nitro HD? all the other ones have some tag along

The AT&T LG Nitro HD has the model number P930
the vs920.... verizon lg spectrum.. has different partitions.. and it can be bricked by flashing any other rom.. from what ive read on other forums..
And to top that off, the VS930 is coming to verizon soon.
how about the Japanese version LG Optimus LTE l01d is this model compatible with Nitro HD roms?

No.
Are the Nitro HD P936 roms/kernels/recoveries compatible with the Optimus True HD P936?
Um...
I'm confused out the ying yang. I have the Bell LG Optimus 4G LTE, and under my battery it says P930.
Do I flash Nitro HD P930 ROMs, or LG SU640 ROMs?
Thanks.
Hi there,
I hope that I'm posting on the right place and sorry for my bad english.
I've searched everywhere on the web for infos about the sprint lg g2 ls980 lte limitations, and there are quite a lot of suggestions that the limitation is hardware level.
Today I found a guy that sells ls980 on ebay and he guaranties that the llimitation is sofware based and that the ls980 that he sells is open to 5 lte bands. He told me that you just need to instruct the modem to communicate on those frequencies.
Is this possible, a scam, something new.??...
Please do comment about this subject, all comments are wellcome.
I can't post the link for the ls980 on sale, but the sale title on ebay is :
LG G2 32GB Unlocked Worldwide & Rooted Smartphone Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean
The seller is : droid_toy
For info, I have an ls980, allready flashed the same rom the guy uses but no 4g on band 7 with my sim card, and he states that the band 7 works on hes ls980.
Thank you,
I'm sure its possible maybee even more but good luck on the radio thats carrier based

Ive heard/seen such things, but not all devices can do that do take it with a grain of salt.
Article has link to FCC site and bands tested:

I don't really know how the guy has done it...
Allready tryed, with an d801 from tmob, to flash it with an d802 rom, then flash an d801 kernel and no other ltes other then the original ones. The weird thing is that if then I try to flash just the radio over all this it will brick, what I find weird since the rom is allready a d802 rom and it is just the boot that is from a d801. (Flashing boot and radio changes commun things?)
Anyway, back to subject, if this method fails then on ls980 it also fails...
How it is possible to have other radios on ls980 and he acctually accepts then well?
Also the d801 when unlocked by code doesn't unlock other lte bands, so for ls980 it is not that either... I haven't tryed yeat, but I belive that with an d802 base rom on ls980 we gain access to same dial codes then d802, so it turns out to be possible to unlock the phone by code. Am I correct?
How can it possibly be done, can you point me some directions on how to try to unlock the lte bands?
Hi there,
No suggestions, no ideas, anyone?
Is it possible that the lte band permission are guiven by the kernel?
it is not a pentaband phone and it is a hardware limitation so buyer beware and don't get ripped off

No its not such is the reason why the ls980 can't use American lte from other carriers just hspa+

Hi there,
Sorry to bother you again, but, are you 100% sure?
According to this site http://pdadb.net/ both ls980 and d802 models share the exact same processor, and this processor has the modem integrated, so, booth models should have the same capabilities.
What am I missing? Is there any other chip associated with the modem and responsable for the bands comunication?
Thanks in advance,

its not the chipset that is the problem it is the actual physical antennas you can have the same chipset in all models but the actual antennas are different making it not possible to pick up the other signals. Thats what makes it a hardware issue
Also I can not find the seller on ebay

For info, I'll continue to report my experiences.
As I think I've understood on the web, the 4g antenna is a part of the flex,/micro/charger piece.
As I have a few spare parts, I tryed to use a d802 motherboard with a flex cable I had from an ls980, to try and see if I would loose my band 7 4g on the d802.
Didn't worked at all, the d802 couldn't detect a sim card with that combination, whitch I find a bit weird as result since the sim is connected to the noard...
Next step, I'm waiting for some parts to try a combo ls980 board flashed with a rayglobe firmware + d802 flex cable (4g antenna).
I don't have much hope but, hey, we never know...
News?
Some news?
I don't understand and there doesn't look to be a simple and clear explanation about what I'm asking, so here it goes:
What is the difference between the F180 versions and the e975? I mean, I've heard F180 are from korea but mine is also made in korea. Does it mean it is a F180?
Sry if this is noob, but I've always had this doubt ..
Thank
Where the phone is made has nothing to do with the model. F180S/K/L are the phones for three carriers on Korean market. In a nutshell, F180 uses the same hardware as E975. Two main differences:
1. F180 has a DVB module instead of FM Radio in E975 (with a telescopic TV antenna in the upper right left corner). This feature is useless outside of Korea, but doesn't cause any problems (just doesn't work). If you don't have this antenna on your phone, you can be sure it's not F180.
2. LTE bands are different from E975, and also different between three F180 models. Few people are reporting that LTE on F180 actually works in some countries outside of Korea, but be ready to accept the fact that you will not have LTE.
For more details, look up topics about F180 to E975 conversion and associated problems (mostly with the network signal and screwed-up IMEI). There is A LOT of info on the subject.
Thanks a lot!
I understand it now
Hi. I am thinking of getting an LG G3. Unfortunately, all the local variants for sale are the D852. What I need is either the D851 (tmobile) or D852G (Videotron). I need Aws band 4 (1700/2100).
I've been searching around and found this interesting thread:
http://forums.redflagdeals.com/can-lg-g3-d852-work-wind-mobilicity-1720993/
Which says it's possible and somebody has actually done it. But I have my doubts.
So my question is: Is the North American LG G3 physically the same phone for all variants, but is just firmware locked to work on certain frequencies. Or are they physically different (ie. different antennas tuned to certain frequencies)?
If it's the latter and it has specially tuned antennas, it may work on aws band 4 but signal strength would be weaker? I'm not an engineer so I'm just guessing.
Thanks.
Hi,
I'm new to LG.
I got LG G3 D852 model but it does not support LTE band in my area.
Is there anyway to convert it to D855 or D850?
Please give me a suggession
up......
You can use the BlackSoulsxxx MM port, which is a d855 port and makes your phone call itself a d855. However, I really don't think it will give you additional basebands.
The basebands available are a result of the radio in your phone and if your phone lacks the hardware, you're SOL. Also, I'm pretty sure the port still uses the lollipop modem.
In any case, if I were you, I'd give it a go. If nothing else you get the general improvements that come with MM and UX4.0.
