I have seen a thread, but lost it, where the 980H Panama ROM was flashable on the 980 ATT version, but that folks wanted to get their ATT radios back. I actually will be using the device in Panama, so for me, this is ideal.
Is there any problem in flashing to this ROM with the 980 ATT version I'll be buying tomorrow? The 980H is sold here, but it only has 16GB of internal storage and costs a lot more.
Edit:
Thread contains this quote:
Panama or Claro E980H Currently Is the Best for USA users its more stock international as it has no rom modifications like AT&T does to Tethering and Data Icons at the top!
I assume that it will be fine, but I'm asking first.

Yeah, that's the thread, and as you can see, it references the 980H Claro Panama ROM. I found the LG Optimus G Pro 980H for sale here in Panama, but it only has 16GB of internal storage.
My question was regarding the model, as I have seen no other reference to 980H as a model designation.

Hi,
I am not sure if this question has been asked before as I could not find anything similar here. If it has already been asked, then I would request the moderators to please point me there.
I have an AT&T Optimus G Pro (E980). It was running the stock rom (AT&T E980AT V10g). I then flashed the value pack from AT&T (AT&T E980AT V10k) which I downloaded by following the download link provided in thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2438088
The flashing tool I used is the one that required the .tot file and the .dll file. Flashing was a success.
I found the value pack 10k to be laggy compared to the stock 10g. So, I wanted to try out a new rom and flashed a Korean one (SKT/SK TELECOM(KOREA) F240S V10w). I did that using the flash tool and the kdz file given in the same thread as stated above. Flashing was a success.
Now, I want to return again to the AT&T stock (AT&T E980AT V10g). But, when I am using the .tot file and the .dll file, the flashing tool is showing an error something about the device model being different and that I should check the .tot and .dll file. I cannot paste the exact error message right now as I am not at my desk but I can paste it later, if required.
Do I need to have a kdz file of the stock to carry out the flashing ? If yes, then where to find it as the stock firmware thread in this forum lists only the zipped up .tot for the AT&T stock rom.
Else, do I need a .dll for the F240S model and then use it along with the stock E980AT firmware to flash ? If yes, then where can I find the .dll file ?
Thanks for taking the time to read this post and thanks for helping out This can serve as a reference to someone who is looking for the same answer.
Regards.

Okay, I know exactly what your talking about!!, You have TWO Options!
1. (Easist) Change your Build Prop to be an E980 on your current rom and then try it
2. Flash the Telcel or Panama KDZ on your phone using LG Flashtools , and THEN flash the AT&T Version. That`s what I have had to do.
Heres a Guide in case you did not know http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2420219 for flashing the Panama or Telcel rom.

Hi,
Thanks for showing the way. I am currently on the Telcel rom and everything is working perfect, though I dislike the bloatware in this rom, be it as less as it is
I wonder if you can help with the following questions :
1) What is the difference between the Panama and Telcel (Mexico) Roms ? I assume both are based on E980H but Telcel should have more bloatware, as it is from a carrier. How much bloated is the Panama Rom ?
EDIT : Got the exact answer for the above question in thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45722192&postcount=1
Panama rom is almost the same as Telcel's, but without the extra bloatware. I am definitely going to flash this one
2) I am from India. So I tried out flashing the India Rom (E988). Though the flashing was successful, there was no mobile operator network. Is this because of some baseband/modem mismatch issue ?
3) Would you happen to know which all roms are fully working on AT&T E980 devices that will work in India. I have tried out the Korean F240S and Telcel roms and both do work.

Well as for Living in India Flashing a local rom does not always mean it will be better. As the device you have is meant to be in America meaning the India rom is pretty much gonna have its issue. I only recomend the Telcel or panama roms for the E980
I've looked on their site and sammobile.com and can't find one. Just want to install the stock and root it. Since it's wifi anyway, can I just install the Canadian or UK version?
ETA: 8.0 SM T310 version, forgot this forum isn't specific
Hello.
I found this thread, maybe it answers your question: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2435929
It says that "XAR is Cellular South which is a USA one", then from Sammobile: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-T310/XAR/
And also I think you can install Canadian / UK version, there should not be problems.

You can easily install 4.4.2 from other countries, if you have SM-T310.
Hi all
Ide like some advice..
I bought my G£ (D855 International) in Carphone Warehouse, which means its factory unlocked. I updated it to the latest 5.0 (20h) OTA.
When I go into About Phone > Software. Ive noticed that my G3 is running V20h-EUR-XX, yet Ive noticed that, in the stock rom thread on here there is a 20h UK rom.
Im just curious to know why my G3 installed the EUR rom not the UK, also Ive noticed that the word "alleh G" isnt anywhere on my device. I realise there are different models and patents change depending on countries and territories, but could i install the UK rom or should i stick to EUR.
Any Info would be nice.. Thanks
EUR and UK rom are the same. Even if you flashed the v20h UK rom it will still say v20H-EUR-XX
Alleh G is the Korean edition with the 3GB ram

Many Thanks for solving my curiosity ... Interesting. about UK rom, So I take it then the 20h UK, matches the EUR device...
I remember from my Sammy days and ODIN that In situations like this, Its usually the Radios that differ.. Oh well, saved me a flash and restore..
Radios only differ between continents and even then if you flashed a firmware from somewhere say Taiwan it would still work normally on your phone. But as to the stabling of it I don't know. I flashed a Taiwan firmware on my Australian G3 and I found that performance and battery life were significantly worse

Had anybody been able to flash the Hong Kong T705 update to a Canadian T705? The Canadian model is SM-T705W vs SM-T705 (US and most of the world)... I haven't been able to flash ANY T705 firmware other than the Canadian firmware which is kind of old (Even the KitKat rom).
Any ideas??
EDIT: My tablet is locked, currently waiting for an unlock code. But can't seem to find any info on whether or not this will actually make a difference.

Your best bet is to sell off your Canadian version for a dirt cheap price on ebay and get an International SM-T705 version instead, as firmware updates for localized versions are usually wayy too long to wait or nonexistent.
If you have any trouble with your unlock code go to cellunlocker.net
They had me my code in two hrs and it worked first try.
No BS, no runnarround.
this is how I unlocked my T705W
Cheers!

Joe... Did unlocking the tablet allow you to flash an international T705 firmware? Like the HK Lollipop update? Or are we still stuck with the KitKat 705W firmware?
Not the international one but I did flash the IronRom V1.1.5 T705. This broke my imei and gave me null/null.
The rom worked but radio did not. So I flashed back to stock and radio came back.

Did you try flashing the HK firmware or just the Ironman? Appreciate the replys as this is currently driving me crazy. I bought this tablet 3 weeks ago thinking I would be able to flash Lollipop, only to find out that our Canadian LTE models seem to be locked down and will probably never receive the Lollipop update...

just the Ironman. Patience young grasshopper
For this device it is a bit late, but I notice curous behaviour from observed lte speeds on the SM-t705w klimtkltecan; at leatst my hardcopy of the kilmtkltecan on a t-mobile sim seems to have up/down speeds throttled at 0.5 mbps each on the ookla speed test. Another curious thing is that klimtltecan is the only klimtelte with a upgraded bootloader SW ver 2 with downgrade not possible. Another curious thing is that the kitkat modem does not beget a recognised sim (at least with upgraded lollipop bootloader). Another curous thing unique thist his post in regards to klimtltecan on xda is that it shares a mostly compatible kernel with chagallltecan (sm-t805w), whihc is reason klimtlte roms dont boot on klimtltecan. So, lots of questions there are. Most of all i can't believe the throttleing bs.
So, cna i ask what everyone's speed resutls are on this device sm-t705w klimtltecan?
thanks.

As title says which version of phone should i avoid on fleabay as i want to buy this phone. No one seems to answer this specifically :/
thanks

You need european version, so G710EM (64GB) or G710EAW (128GB)
i get that i need the european version but the american handsets will work too and i've been told to avoid the Tmobile version at all costs.
i just needed to now which is the best variant from the american/canadian ones!
cheers
Canadian AWM version. Support more lte band (for UK and Europe) then USA unlocked ULM
thanks siley
only g710EM
now im confused???
Get the 710em that's what I got when I brought mine worked fine
I told him EM or EAW is best for Europe, but he want model from America so Canadian AWM is better.
I got the LM-G710EM version

I think is a crossflashed device. Mine is EM too, but came with open EU rom and it is a TIM device (italian carrier). Amazon things...
U can flash any firmw u want with lg_up 14-15, but with no ota support due to restrictions. U can always search ur region with ur imei in internet after a simple search on google, but if the device is from carrier... I recommend u a clean open eu kdz over any carrier firmware.
