just recently, I bought a Korean Optimus G for a sweet price. now I'm thinking of rooting it and installing a custom rom.
problem is, it's an F180K but was localized by conversion to E975. How do i go about doing this, do I flashback to F180K (if that's possible) or can i continue and flash E975 ROMs on this converted-F180K?
also, I'm currently using an LTE sim but not getting any LTE, could the conversion be the cause? how do I fix it?
thanks in advance for the help! on a side note, which (in your opinion) is the smoothest and fastest rom that doesn't eat up too much space (is that possible) and gives the best battery life. preference of qualities are in that order.
I also own an F180K bought from Korea. What i can tell you is that this model has only LTE 900 and LTE 1800 bands. So even if you can and will convert back its possible not to fix your LTE issue.
Regarding the roms ( this is my opinion only ) i couldn't find any rom to beat the stock. I tried many of them about 5-6 months ago. Now might be different. So my opinion is that Stock rom with root access and greenify beats everything.
oh. so that's why i'm not getting any LTE. My carrier's LTE network runs on 2100. sucks -.-
anyway, know how I can convert back to stock F180K? Can I use E975 ROMs for my F180K or only the ones tailor made for the F180K?
thanks for the reply btw, I was beginning to lose hope. anyway, what version is stock on? I'd like 4.4 KitKat but if it's still on 4.3 then I'll still have to think about it.
I also heard stock F180K has a lot of korean stuff despite changing language to english, this true?

thank you, that's very informative. I'm currently on 4.1.2 although this isn't the korean version, should I go for the original F180K firmware? my software version is e97510d-ESA-XX.
I also read there are some korean stuff on the dialer in the stock firmware of the F180K, how do you get rid of those?
last question, what's in the later versions (4.2/4.3/4.4) that's not in 4.1?

If you want to get rid of Korean-specific features and elements in the interface (like labels on the dialer), the Korean stock ROM is not for you. The E975 ROM that you have right now should be good, but I am not sure if I understand exactly what you mean by "localized"... You can definitely use E975 ROMs on F180 (I do), but it might be a bit messy, depending on your luck. There is a lot of info here on XDA regarding F180 -> E975 conversion and related issues -- read it to understand what you are doing.

The last official stock version is 4.1.2, like I said before. If you want newer versions, you need custom ROMs. Note that there is an expected upgrade to 4.4.x which should come fairly soon, but hey, it's LG, so no solid ETAs. It will come when it comes...

well yeah, last thing since I don't think this has been answered yet, can I flash to other E975 roms from my current setup? (F180K converted to E975) or do I have to use roms made specifically for F180K devices?

I've searched the forums and tried to shuffle out the order of which the OTAs came out, i.e. V10j, V10f, V20c and ect (I'm guessing in numerical/alphabetical order). Unless I missed a thread on this already (which one of you could kindly link me to) then what order were these released? Also, I read comments of trying different basebands (which I'm familiar w/ doing on other phones) but where do I find the links for these? Search didn't help me other than the baseband.img used for unbricking. Thanks in advance!
V10f was the original Gingerbread firmware, V10j was the Gingerbread OTA, and V20c is the current ICS firmware (not an OTA).

When you do the unbrick, you're supposed to just use the Korean version to install a custom recovery. From there you flash whatever ROMs you want. The Korean GB isn't meant to be stayed on. Look in the developer area, there are a few to choose from. From stock/rooted ICS, to various flavors of CM9, and others based on CM10.
I have Korean LGOG F240K and all these awesome ROMs are coming out for E980 model.
I compared the models and except for LTE bands everything is same.
A developer told me that ROMs like CM don't flash modem/baseband
So my question is shouldn't the ROMs work as hardware is same and baseband is preserved???
Can someone enlighten me?
I just made a thread about E980 roms and F240
For me call and data works great so I guess it preserved the baseband
The only thing doesn't work for me Is ext sdcard
Great! I'm going to try this. I dont like the stock rom

All,
Wondering what is the general rule of thumb about flashing the international firmware(think they on M version now?) and flashing the 855 Roms? How badly will this effect my 850 At&t G3? Can I even doing it without bricking my phone?
Thanks for any opinion.

Unless said otherwise, you should never flash a ROM that was made for a different version of the one you own.
Also, chances are that it won't even let you flash it cause of the updater-script (fail safe).
Got it! So I'm pretty much stuck with waiting for AT&T to update the firmware of my phone. I'm more concerned about firmware rather than ROM's since the AT&T version is still on the 'D' version of LG's firmware and the international version already on 'N'. Would like to update the firmware ASAP to fix some bugs.

You can try the modified international stock ROM from AndroidUser00110001, you can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/development/rom-poweruser-edition-v1-modified-t2930038
I'm backing up things to try it :fingers-crossed:
I need some stock 4.1.2 stock debloated rom for E980 from AT&T, I'm tired of dealing with the bugs on KK roms, all kk roms for the ATT E980 sucks!!!!
I've searched the forum for some 4.1.2 stock debloated rom and I can not find it.
Thanks for any help!!!
Saying that all kk roms for this phone suck is really a big insult to the developers here. I understand its your opinion but perhaps if you were a little less aggresive you might get a response for what you're looking for.

Why not just flash the stock 4.1.2 rom of your choice, then root, and debloat it yourself from there?

I think I'm using v5, maybe v5.5. Have stayed on 4.1 due to webview text reflow and just never got back to any of the ROMs since....
I have not seen a true optimus g pro debloated rom. Which is sad, many devs kill themselves trying to get g3 or other custom ROM working well but no one cleans up & optimises the stock rom for there to be one "clean" & stable rom for all users..... Not even sure if there is one on the viet site.

Hmmm.. that would be nice, to have a clean shaven build--one that it available in TOT and/or KDZ. A fresh, stable base would be nifty for sure. I know I get annoyed at having to flash the goshdarn ATT stock roms. They are soo bloated and annoying. I suppose a thing worth doing, is worth doing mydamnself. A project, hooray!

I just got my G3 and love everything about it with Cloudy rom. Maybe it could be the first time I stay with a stock based rom rather than CM. However, the call signal seems to be very weak compared to my Nexus 4 (I'm using D850 on T-mobile network)..
Is there any different baseband (or whatever you call it - radio or modem), available for this phone? I would like to try some different baseband and see if there is any differences.... I looked up the whole xda but doesn't seem to have a thread like modem collection...

Lollipop based rom. It seems that d850 is particularly poor at receiving tmobile 4g signal... It seems to be getting att one without too much problem. Is kitkat modem better? I didn't find them to be different though.

20P is only for D855, please dont randomely flash modems that you find on the internet
Thank you for the very constructive feedback No one is randomly flashing anything, with wreckless abandon as the 855 modem is usually accompanied by a warning by actually constructive posters.
How about oosting the latest 850 modem?

Well, I started this thread and I have collected Kitkat modem and the current 20F lollipop modem for D850. It seems that these two are only available. I'm trying to upload the files but xda says the files are too big. Hopefully ATT makes some new modems to solve the issue. Compared to my other devices G3's signal is almost 10 dbm poorer than others (especially same LG made nexus 4 with 33 hybrid modem...
