Does anyone know where I can get a replacement logic board for the E988 as my IMEI has disappeared from my phone?
I have found one on ebay in the US but it is from an E980 which I guess is locked to AT&T and it also does not have the correct 3G or 4G bands.
I don't think it really matters what variant it is for as long as it is an E98X and it supports 900 and 2100 mhz on 3G and 1800 and 2600 mhz on 4G.
Thanks

hi i couldn't find anything definitive so might as well ask.
i have an E975 bought here in the philippines, would it be possible to flash with an E971/3 rom? would i be able to use the 700mhz LTE frequency on my phone after the flash?
thanks.
I have the same question.... i see there's a roadmap sort of thread in the e971 forum regarding EVERYTHING! I hope that an experienced E975 user should make such a thread too! I would have but I just bought this phone.....
Only if the E975 is capable of 700mhz LTE to begin with!
LG Optimus G E971/3/5/6/7
Yes but you will lose the ability to use your back camera. Why not flash a CM10.1 nightly? E975 has em haha
i don't think the E975 supports 700 for 4G/LTE according to gsmarena.com they write this:
4G Network
LTE 800 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600 - E975 (market dependent)
LTE 700 / 1700 - E973
LTE 700 / 2600 - E971
ino they say dependent on market but still i guess if 700 was supported they would have put it on the list, but ino it's only indicative not 110% true or i could be wrong.
Hi,
I have bought and just got delivered a brand new Lg Optimus pro from Korea. The problem is that it would not recognize the band frequency, either for 3G nor 4G. The version I have is f240s and the frequency for 3G is 900 and 2100 (both is used by my currently operator) and for 4G 850 (B5) and 1800 (B3). Now, GPRS/EDGE works and the frequency for 2G is GSM850, 900 1800 and 1900.
I live in Sweden and my operator (Tele2) uses same band for both 3G and 4G. My question is why it won't work. Firmware issues? I have used the commando for the LTE menu (5467#*240#) and when I am trying to change the band for LTE I get a message "getbal has no fram value".
I would really much appreciate any solution or step in the right direction! if anybody has more questions or would like further information don't hesitate to ask!
Thank you again.
It passed about 3 months since you posted. Have you solved the problem? I have an LG Vu 3 (also Korean) and it behaves exactly like yours.
Hi everyone;
First off, if this is in the wrong area, I'm sorry.
I've been looking to get my girlfriend a new phone for her birthday. She has an old Optimus 3D and the screen is cracked. I've been looking online to buy a Optimus G for her and came across a bunch online.
Most of which are listed as F180. I'm not sure what version this ends up being.
I'm hoping to get this phone for her and have it at least work on HSPA+ in Canada on the Rogers Network, but it would be great if it would work on LTE too.
I'm a little confused as to what frequencies Rogers LTE is on. I've read online that it's anything from 700, 850, 1900 , 1700, 2100 and 2600.
According to GSMArena the model frequencies are as follows:
2G Network
GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 - E975, E973, E971
3G Network
HSDPA 900 / 2100 - E975
HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 - E973, E971
4G Network
LTE 800 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600 - E975 (market dependent)
LTE 700 / 1700 - E973
LTE 700 / 2600 - E971

According to the Optimus G Wiki page Canada has the E971 and E973 models. If the International Version is E973, this should work on Rogers HPSA+ at least, and at least one frequency for LTE.
Is this correct?
Unfortunately I can't post any links right now because I haven't made enough posts, so I can't link to where I plan on buying the phone from.
Any help or suggestions would be great!

Hiya, fellas,
I want to know what is the hardware difference between the LS990 and the international D855 version of the LG G3.
I live in India and I have a good offer for the G3 (LS990) I'm aware that the phone can be unlocked to use international GSM and 3G but not 4G. Apart from that are there any other differences? Can I still flash roms made for the international model, D855 onto mine (whence it comes) or must I solemnly stick to the Sprint Android Development thread? Also if there are any other problems that I could possibly encounter?
Your answers will be much appreciated and thanked.:good:
I think there are memory partition, forgot stock Rom kdz or tot files, we wait for bump'd kernel or bumping tool to do that, I installed androidnow hd which is made for D855 on vs985 Verizon it run but without incall sound, must wait more

Here are a few things you need to consider before you make that deal . This is based on my experience with the LS980 (LG G2)
1. How good is the deal ?
2. Could it be refurbished part from Sprint ?
3. Does it have a Clean ESN , IMEI ? Or is it a cracked one ? If it does not have a Clean ESN / IMEI number , please be very cautious, if you do flash a rom and something messes up a particular partition you may have a very hard time fixing the IMEI / ESN numbers (This is NOT legal if you are using a device with hacked IMEI. )
4. You Will not get SW / OTA updates directly from sprint if your IMEI is blacklisted (I think , I cannot confirm ) . Even if you do you will have to hunt for an unlock again.(until a permanent unlock is found)
5. You cannot use the default International D855 roms on the LS990 , apart from the modem there may be other slight variations, so international stock roms wont work.
6. You can use any custom rom which supports LS990.
7. Even if everything else is ok , you may not have a good user experience with calls and data , as the FW , may not change seamlessly between GSM , EDGE , CDMA (3G) these and you may find your self running into signal issues due to this .
My advise is, if the deal is a huge money saver then think of it , else buy a D855 and enjoy the freedom of OTAs. Custom Roms , 2G , 3G , 4G when needed with 100% clean IMEI.
Thats my 2 cents .
@ kryptonite, thank you for the detailed information. I'm very grateful and many thanks once again.
1. The D855 costs about $680 (USD) and this deal was priced at $475 on eBay India.
2,3. I have no idea if it is refurbished by Sprint but it's an unused item.
And for the rest, yes, you're right. I wouldn't want to go through all the trouble if I'd have problems with the basic stuff such as antenna or 3G.
I think it's better that I rather buy the 16 gigs variant which is cheaper and stay happy with it. After your informative reply and suggestion I definitely wouldn't like to have that chicken sit on my head for there is too much to compromise if I wouldn't get any updates or even flashing roms. I dn't want to have an expensive brick sitting home. You just saved my @$$. Thank you very much!
Best,
superviked.
@superviked that is a good decision. If you look at it although you save $200, if you don't have a good experience with the phone you would have wasted $475.
However there has been a rising trend of folks selling phones on ebay without clarity on the exact state. So need to ask the questions and buy from a trusted seller.
I wouldn't recommend the LS990 or any CDMA phone for use in India (Unless you use Reliance , and even here there is a lot of tweaking that need to be done to get a good user experience. )
Here is a priority list of G3 phone models that you could consider based on availability and network support.
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 - all versions
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 - D855
HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 - D850
HSDPA 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 - D851
4G Network LTE 700 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 / 2600 - D851
LTE 700 / 800 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2300 / 2600 - D855
LTE 700 / 850 / 1700 / 1800 / 1900 / 2100 / 2600 - D850

1. D855 16 GB /2GB RAM ( or 32GB /3GB Ram) - As you suggested , makes most sense , for a hassle free buy and 0 head aches of all issues you may face from a NON International version.
As you can see the green is the D855, its the only version that supports 2300 Mhz band for LTE and this is the band that is available in India. No other model supports this Band including the LS990. Infact 99 % of phones in India still don't support the 2300Mhz band ,so the D855 is a good choice in terms of using LTE without any hassles in India. So even if you do get a locked version of the D855 it would be worth considering it as the benefits of a good price always help.
2. D851 , you would have to unlock this , and you may have trouble with OTAs , but it should work for 2G / 3G without any issues (In India 3G frequencies are 3G 1900/2100 ). You will however not get LTE support in India (because the modem in this model DONT support the 2300 MHz band in HW)
3. D850, you would have to unlock this , and you may have trouble with OTAs , but it should work for 2G / 3G without any issues (In India 3G frequencies are 3G 1900/2100 ). . You will however not get LTE support in India (because the modem in this model DONT support the 2300 MHz band in HW)
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 - VS985, LS990
CDMA 800 / 1900 - VS985
3G Network CDMA2000 1xEV-DO - VS985
HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 - LS990
4G Network LTE 700 / 1700 / 2100 - VS985
LTE 850 / 1900 / 2500 - LS990

4. Don't bother about LS990 (Sprint) VS990 (Verizon), these are CDMA versions and the hassles you will go though (user experience wise in terms of seemless switching between GSM, 3G towers in India etc, although the 3G band is fully supported) are not worth the mark down in price. Infact this is one reason why these phones sell at much lower costs in India.
From a FW perspective 95 % of the firmware is common to all these G3 models , but what differentiates these are the modems and hence even if you flash a D855 Stock FW to any of the other versions , it may boot up but the modem will not function and its of course not recommended as it may also damage the modem .
I have bought the ls990 and i dont nothing about it can i know where to find some good info about how to unlock the carrier 3g and 4g in my country and can i update it to marshmallow without the need to root and one last thing how i can know if my IMEL is hacked or not pleeease help me
Hi, i have a big problem with my LG G3 bought on january of this year. the version is the D855, italian warranty (as i am italian). from the moment which i put my SIM into the cell phone i noticed that it doesn't connect to 4G network (as just it found a 4G connectivity it started to search another network till it'd have found a 3G/H+ connectivity), delivered twice to the customer service (so i staied two months without mobile), LG wasn't able to solve the issue said that their test on the network was all right, now i found the only one provider that works with my device (i'm talking about H3G, before,when i bought it, i had Vodafone, but i have tried Wind and Tim though), but now i want to change it because it costs an arm and a leg, and i want to solve this problem by myself (as LG do nothing to solve it) and it seems there is no one with my same issue in the world wide, so what it would be a probably solution??? ask for other infos if you need!!!

If LG found nothing wrong with your device, and and only one operator has 4G working on that phone, it means that your phone doesn't support the bands other carriers are offering.
LTE bands for this phone (855) are 700 Mhz,800 Mhz, 900Mhz, 1800 Mhz, 2100Mhz, 2300 Mhz and 2600 Mhz.
Also, worth noticing is that the coverage differs from carrier to carrier.

i don't think that the problem is that, here are the LTE bands of the main italian carriers (included H3G):
-Telecom Italia: 800 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2600 MHz;
-Vodafone Italia: 800 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2600 MHz;
-Wind Telecomunicazioni: 800 MHz, 2600 MHz;
-H3G (3 Italia): 1800 MHz, 2600 MHz.
i have tried each one of these but the only one that works is H3G indeed and besides is the only one that doesn't own the 800 MHz band, so maybe the problem is that my mobile is not able to connect on this band (although it is available as you mentioned in your specs ). so is there a solution? p.s. on my old G2 work all four of them so it is undeniable that my G3 has a problem, i want just know if this problem is resolvable by myself and how!
whatever thank you for the help
