F240K - international use - how to - LG Optimus G Pro

Hi
I have F240K in Poland Europe. Just bought. Phone is from Olleh operator.
I try to flash with stock rom downladed from LG but nothing changed.
I need to find out way to:
1. Get rid of operator stuff - maybe there is generic ROM that can be used?
2. MOST IMPORTANT- change RADIO since in operator settings I have only to options: GMS and WCDMA and AUTOMATIC. IN Poland operators are using: 3gnetworks and 2 g networks. and phone shoud work but is always showing "G" next to network bar.
Anybody can help?
Greetings.

to get rid of those bloatware, you can always use Titanium Backup to freeze them, but you have to root your phone first.
I think the E980 root is safe to use, but I dont know.....I havent root my E988 yet....
after you root it, you can remove/uninstal the bloatware, but I dont think it is a good step, because some people cant update their phone after the removed the bloatware.
but again, I dont really know about this, coz my E988 is unlocked
about the ROM, I cant help you, sorry....

Hello guys,
i ve changed today provider and 3G is not working.When i open data,it is always under GPRS.Can anyone think hw can i solve this?Also the provider is vodafone.If i download the Greek KDZ (wich is for the phone been sold by vodafone) will change something?is there any posibility to work without changing baseband?cause i think that if i change rom and then baseband same error will occur.

may be the access point is wrong,may be you can press "*#*#4636#*#*"to select a proper network mode,and i believe if you flash kdz will give you 3g back,but it is the last way.

May be incompatible frequencies?
F180L is version for LG Telecom which doesnt use WCDMA network.
F180L does supports WCDMA, but as i remember it has some odd frequencies.
And check the APN

well with my former provider it worked fine.And its strange cause sometimes 3g works with this provider too!the bad thing is that i cant choose in this rom in what mode i want to connect.In open european mode it had some options,also in stock avatar rom.I think ill try a hard reset and if i dont have any changes ill try to use open european version.Btw does anybody know,if i change to european version,can i have OTA updates?Or ill have to dowload it everytime and install it through KDZ updater?
Btw its F180l U+ edition from Korea

I tried this but when I clicked on the "select radio band" option, it gave me an error notice "?unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped". Plz how do I rectify? NB... My device has no connection to any of the carrier networks after upgrade.

Try another KDZ method. your .kdz file is probably > 1GB so maybe this can work.

Dear olcimanic,
Thanks a lot Borther. I can flash my optimus G by F180s jellybean. But after that i have the problem of network fluctuations and sometimes no network. what can i do brother? please make a way for me.
regards
Clickanu,
Try to flash the latest 4.1.2 for your phone's original model(the model, when you bought it F180S i believe), through kdz. But remove the Sim card before flashing... Once successfully flashed, Please setup the phone for initial setup without the sim card. Once set up is complete, switch off your phone, insert sim card, reboot and search for your network operator manually, sometimes automatic searching doesn't work well.. this is just an idea, not sure, how far this will work, also, always keep in 2G, use it for sometime or somedays and then start using 3G...
Dear olcimanic,
Thanks for your suggestion. Actually i am from Bangladesh (in asia). I found this phone as a gift, when i found it, it was F180S. But The logo behind the phone is from Olleh. Can u please suggest me, how do i find the original stock firmware. I have lot my IMEI after flash...please Help.

[Q] So How does this actually work?

I picked up a pre-owned Gold G3 yesterday, my last one went pop!
This new G3, is Sim Unlocked, but with a Vodafone UK rom (V10a.235.15). After researching and reading around.. the G3 has EFS, so I followed the KDZ back to stock guide and flashed the Open EU rom, which went without any issues and seemed as if it had flashed and replaced the VF Rom, but it still has the VF splash screen, a VF updates Icon (Which can be removed) and software version, yet the G3 still detected and Loaded in my EE UK APN settings and no sign of any VF APN.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
So am I right in thinking.. If I wanted to make this a full UK unbranded phone, so no splash screen with a software V10a.EUR.XX.. I would have to Jailbreak the EFS partition and Replace VFRom stored on the EFS with the EUR-XX rom.
OR am I wrong entirely, so... How does this work
There are so many threads on here, that ask the same questions in different ways, hence why Im a litle confused as how this works
Thanks
Wait Wait Wait
So you cant manually import APN settings right? How about flashing a Rom from another European country?
Dont tamper with the EFS partition under any circumstances. If you do you wont have a IMEI and your phone will be worthless. Carrier branding does not occur within the EFS partition
I remember my carrier apps disappeared from Update Center when i upgraded my Australian firmware to a Taiwan Firmware so im pretty sure it might work for you.
When you flash the KDZ make sure you flash it using CSE Flash Mode

Can I just be clear before I answer... The G3 I bought is Branded to Vodafone UK, I am personally on EE UK and Im trying to remove the Vodafone Branding and make it a factory unlocked unbranded G3.
Thanks for the reply friend. I didnt have to enter any EE APN settings, they were already there, so not sure how that was... because I didnt enter them. Glad to hear its not the EFS, because I would rather use a branded phone and have it working than change its file system and mess it up. Also, I know the guide doesnt state it but I turned ON USB Debugging, would that make a difference
I followed the guide closely so did flash using CSE. Ill now flash another countries KDZ and let you know how i get on?
Could it be that Vodafone UK is the EU Open Rom, just a few minor changes..... What I dont understand is...
The EUR Open Rom flashes perfectly fine, reboots and starts... so why after a perfect flash using CSE, is the Vodafone UK rom still there. Any Ideas.

Im afraid no Luck... I flashed Open France, still booted to VF rom with VF software on it v.10a-235-15), then installed "Italy Orange", which actually worked, booted up a clean LG rom BUT, even though its v.10a, When trying OTA update, it said I was n the latest OS, which is no good, then using LG PC Sync.. it just updated to the UK VF rom again (20h).
So I took a long shot and flashed Open UK, still the same.... boots into VF splash screen and software.. so, Im at a loss. This is why I reckon carriers hide a rom on the EFS partition.
Any thing to add
Thanks

I can't update my phone

Hello everyone, I'm making this thread because Im having some trouble updating my phone to the latest version of Andriod.
I have an LG G3 D850 factory unlocked. This means it's an at&t phone, so I'd need an at&t sim to update it. The problem is, I dont live in the US, Im from southamerica, Uruguay specifically.
As I dont have the sim or anything, my phone is stuck in Android 4.4.2.
My question is, is there any way for me to update my phone? What happens if I download and install the D855 version for this phone (the international version) will it block my networks?
Thanks for reading!

Yep - http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?exact=1&q=SM-A520L
LG+ U is the carrier apparantly.
Forgive me, but is your device even available in North America?
You may be as well to search around and confirm if another device firmware can be used on your variant (ie. A520F on your A520L)
