[Q] How can i convert Korean LG-F180K to european firmware? - LG Optimus G (International)

The question is in the title, I ask it because I've read that you can lose signal from your carrier if you do that incorrectly.

Use search..it has already been discussed many times...don't be lazy

Why you people buy korean phones?it's stated very clear,E975 is the international version,F180 is the koren model. You could try to flash an e975 stock rom on it...but it may be possible to break lte connection.

Thank you Kimitza,
Well I have flashed E975 10C rom. now the phone works ok. (so far not rooted the phone). But I feel the signal strength is little bit lesser.
Some times for few seconds there is no signal itself.
Also i have enabled (phone allowed) GSM/WCDMA/LTE in the mobile network. But iam getting only "E" edge in the network type always.
After the changing the stock rom. how to find the LTE bands. is there any method.
If as u say the LTE connection is brokedn how to restore the same back to normal
Regards
Sunil

Hi! I just happen to update my LGOG F180K to E975 using KDZ updater. If you do this, you must also flash the baseband for it. But problem is, as for me, the message sending is a headache. You can try at your own risk.

Well Thanks for the thread.
Everybody says update KDZ and also must then Flash Baseband. Noone gives the procedure to flash kdz then flash baseband.
My original model is F180L20S.
I have tried to root the phone but i couldnt do so yet.
I am back to F180L20S from e975 coz when in e975 there was no signal and everytime it shows network type unknown.
Luckily i manged to put back f180l20s u+ LTE put the language to english and managing. now its working. my mobile network setup shows 3g/4g data only not the conventional gsm/wcdma/lte etc.
will i get 4G network.
Thanks

Converted F180k to E975 - Signal Issue

I hope someone can help me.
I recently converted my F180k to E975 stock. When I was using F180k, I don't have any issues with the phones reception in terms of signal, now the problem started when I coverted to E975 a huge difference and I had a very weak signal.
Any help would be appreciate it.
Thank you in advance.
Yeah,leave the phone as it was mented to be. I just don't understand you guys. You buy a phone,then you want to convert it to other phone. Why didn't you bought it in the first place?you want a nexus4,get one,don't convert an e975. Want an e975,buy it,don't convert other phone into it.there are high chances to get into troubles. At least read all infos before converting,see the benefits,the downsides. How can we help you,if we don't have your problem and,most important,we can't replicate it?
Maybe if you flash the f180 modem,things will get better. Look on chad's unofficial cm thread,he has a link for the modem.

Hey dude. We have the same phone model right? I am using F180K converted to E975, but have no network issue as such. Have you tried the baseband? I only have problems with our network(SUN CELLULAR) when it I'm in my office, but in general, all works fine. If you can stick with the F180K ROM(with all the boaltwares, unchangeable clocks in the lockscreen and korean language everywhere), then use it. But for me, I hate too many useless apps and languages I don't understand. So I risked flashing, I also have problems at first, but after too much reading and understanding I have perfected it. Hope you made up your mind,

[Q] f180L to f180K possible??

Hi just want to ask if it is possible to convert a f180L variant into a f180K?
So i can use its 4g band.
Sorry for the noob question.
Impossible as hardware doesn't support the bands. You will get no signals error

[Q] e986 which one rom can I flash?

Ok guys. I decide to start this topic because I'm so confuse with the lg g pro models/versions.
As I know lg for some reason decided to change some hardware on the same model for the continent.
I have the e986 model but out there we have e980,e988 and the asian model f240 etc.
What is the difference between the e986 to the e980,e988?
And why I can't flash the e980 version on my e986?
I can only see that the e986 version of this phone doesn't get enough support for developing customs roms.
I only found the CM roms that it works on all e98x versions.
So the main question is this one : Can I flash a custom rom like this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-g-pro/development/rom-pac-4-4-4-beta-1-0-pa-aokp-c-t2852984 on the e986 model? And if I can then should I follow the quide on each rom or I need to flash it with a different way?
Thank you.
