Australian Owners of Optimus G Pro HELP - LG Optimus G Pro

Thought i'd start this thread so australian owners of this phone can help each other out.
I bought this phone & had it shipped to AUS at a cost of about $290 AUD. The phone is to replace my Galaxy note 2 that got smashed.
At half the price i originally paid for the GN2 it seemed like a good deal!.
However when i got it i realised it is actually a refurb & its is also pre-rooted
However I can't get it to detect any sim that has been installed, tried TELSTRA 3g & 4g sims - Also tried Optus sim, no detecting of sim.

Hi. As I see, your G PRO is Korean. Such as F240 is for Korean versions. However, it may have been converted to Korean for the KitKat ROM. You mean SIM is not being detected, that it says SERVICE DISABLED? If so, Try this:
1. Flash KDZ of Mexico from here: http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW826486573210987654321/E980H10A_00.kdz
2. Then flash your desired KDZ.
This worked for me so, feel free to try it!

I think the phone is definitely F240, well that's what the stickers says on the inside & what is reported by the IMEI checking link.
So maybe not a good idea putting E980 firmware??
EDIT: constant message on screen saying "check the USIM card is installed. cell phone function is limited"

Even though the SIM is inserted it displays that message?

Yes, i tried two different sims. same message.... the phone doesn't seem to recognize any australian sim

These are the freq available on different Australian mobile networks
2G
2G, other wise known as GSM, is standard on almost all phones (except CDMA phones in the USA). Most new phones come with quad band GSM support. A quad band GSM phone supports 850, 900, 1800, and 1900MHz.
2G is old technology and provides a fall back position when 3G coverage is unavailable.
Australian 2G bands:
900Mhz (Telstra, Optus & Vodafone)
1800Mhz (Telstra, Optus & Vodafone)
3G
There are several 3G networks operating in Australia. 3G frequencies are usually specified as UMTS/HSDPA or WCDMA frequencies on the mobile phone specifications.
Australian 3G bands:
850MHz (Telstra, Vodafone) – Exclusive 3G band
900MHz (Optus, Vodafone) – available in most metro areas on Optus, with both Optus and Vodafone re-farming the 2G 900 spectrum in regional and rural areas
2100MHz (Telstra, Optus, Vodafone) – Exclusive 3G band
4G
Australia is currently using these LTE bands (LTE bandmask in brackets):
2100Mhz (B1) FDD (0000000000000001) – Telstra (3G spectrum)
1800Mhz (B3) FDD (0000000000000004) – Telstra, Optus, Vodafone
900Mhz (B8) FDD (0000000000000080) – Telstra, Vodafone?, Optus (utilises spectrum previously used by 2G)
2300Mhz (B40) TDD (0000008000000000) – Optus (Vivid wireless spectrum)
To follow late 2014:
2600Mhz (B7) FDD (0000000000000040) – Telstra, Optus, TPG?
700Mhz (B28) FDD (0000000008000000) – Telstra, Optus
This is what the F240 Optimus G Pro supports.
GSM-1800; GSM-1900; GSM-900; UMTS(3G)-2100; UMTS(3G)-1900; LTE(4G)-2100; LTE(4G)-850
CHECK YOUR PHONE HERE: http://checkphone.australianphone.com.au/
So looks likes optus is the best bet for anyone wanting a F240
However I cant get any sim to detect so it must be a hardware faults, any good way to test hardware?

so no one in aus seems to use this phone.... can someone tell me why?

I have the same problem. I bought F240L version for US$127 ( Extremely Cheap). The phone initially worked with my Optus Sim. However, it developed a Wifi problem (wouldn't connect on second day of ownership) so I flashed F240 Kitkat stock rom (And F240 Lollipop stock ROM) using LG flash tool2014 to see if this fixed wifi (It Didn't) and stopped phone recognising the SIM. I can't find a KDZ version of F240-EUR. So my phone now has neither wifi or network. I think the phone is fast and looks great but I think Australian's should avoid it as the network problem seems common if phone is updated. My son also has one which works ok on Stock Jellybean. I tried to restore a CWM backup from his phone on my phone but CWM reported a MD5 error and aborted. Anyway I have probably got my US$127 worth of fiddle value, but hate to see such a lovely phone reduced to toy status only.
Additionally: I have managed to restore F240-EUR Stock rom but the Network and Wifi still don't work. The Network did work originally on this Rom. I don't know why it now doesn't. AVOID THESE PHONES IN AUSTRALIA.

E-98X L-04E Docomo modem band change

Hi there
I have a unroot-unlocked L-04E and want to use it with Wind in Canada. I am going to secret menu 3845#*04#-> Networkmode and want to select WCDMA AWS but there is a Fail message.
Any advice about how to make it work. Flashing mode, m band etc.. (There is Rooting method for this phone on Japanese websites).
Also I didn't have any luck with LGL21 (au version of E970) to make it work with AWS band. just I discovered its modem is identical to AT&T E970.

SM-T705W Lollipop?

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.

LG G3 D855[v20g-SEA-XX]: 4G available on Menu but not connecting

Hi fellows, I recently acquired a LG G3, an astounding phone, but then I realize it doesn't connect to 4G/LTE network. I'am an advance user and I' double checked APN, Carrier Service, and all configuration staff, also I had read a lot about troubles people is having with this, but my trouble is less common, I had the 4G/LTE option available and enabled in Mobile Networks menu, but my phone just doesn't connect to 4G/LTE it just stays in HSPA. Well, I' have tried the most common solutions and none works for me, here is what I've tried:
1. Go to hidden menu: 3845#*855# -> LTE Only -> Modem Settings-> RAT SELECTION->GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto (this just restore my HSPA and cellular connection when solution 2 fails)
2. Go to hidden menu: 3845#*855# -> LTE Only -> Modem Settings->LTE Band Selection (here I switched to every band, some give me a Success other Failed, nevertheless I got no signal service unless I do solution 1)
3. Change build.prop telephony.lteOnGsmDevice from 0 to 1( it changes it, but after reboot it comes back to 0, nothing happen )
4. Renaming LTE Config apk and rebooted(I rebooted then the it says the phone is upgrading and after that nothing happen)
Now I'm sure it is something related with the phone region and my current location because my firmware has suffix ASEATN (Asian)and I'm living in Ecuador currently, but I'm skeptic about the risk of flashing and changing the region.
Can anyone give some guide or advice about my specific problem, I'm willing to do advance user staff. Thanks in advance!
These are my phone specs

I have exactly the same problem.
I'm from Peru and the model is D855P. I used to have 4G LTE when I first bought it, but after installing CloudyG3 (Lollipop), I was never able to connect to 4G again. I have the option but it never really connects. I have to set it to 2G/3G only.
It's curious that when I traveled to the U.S some weeks ago and used an AT&T SIM, 4G LTE worked perfectly and back in my country, it does not.
I tried changing LTE bands using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...ad-progress-please-leave-im-updating-t2871269 but still not working. My carrier uses LTE Band 4.
I've also tried factory restores using the PC Suite. The original software is restored but 4G still does not work.
Any help would be appreciated!

Okp I let you know..the process es really easy...you spent more time documenting than doing it really...I think I'm going for a Cloud G3 Rom, which is more familiar and stable with the device.

Make sure the devices lte bands match that of your carriers lte bands. Dont look at 2g and 3g bands. Only lte bands. Second id say make sure your apn settings are correct.
And last is make sure in mobile networks you have global or gsm cdma and lte selected

A lot of times this could be due to specific hardware not picking up propper lte bands or those bands not being enabled. Which u can google on enabling hidden lte bands. I didnt notice what model u had from the seller. I noticed u said manipulations of unlocking bl so where u sucsessful? Then its a h815 i believe which would be the global model. Which then could be software relTed or a settings issue.
I had not specified that it is a h815 international version but planned for a planned commercialization in Singapore. According to my operator the antenna 4g near my home uses only the band 800 which is normally compatible with ... I also have a lg g4 that works perfectly with my chip. All APN settings are correct .. Is there a way to force to use this tape?
I tried manipulation to unlock the bootloader with the official version of LG but it is an Asian phone .. I thought of a software problem so I tried with lg bridge that does not pick up my phone. Is there any other way?

How to unlock sim, unbrick, fix ramdom reboot loop on alcatel idol windows
hupahopp said:
I called the service
I described everything I did with it
they told me the motherboard was damaged
and that in an authorized service center would cost 5000 czk (239$) .......... somehow I do not want to believe that by deleting data from five items and by restarting the phone will damage the motherboard
New Alcatel 4s (6071w) costs $ 150 in US
New Alcatel 4Pro (6077x) costs 219 euros (277$) in Germany
I ordered it today
the injured person might get in some way

Download QXDM/QPST then boot into Factory mode. Connect with QXDM/QPST and let us know what you come up with. I recommend you back up the NV memory first before making changes.
There is a thread around about how to boot into facory mode using ffutool...
Edit: Also do know that altering the QC EFS data can cause your phone to not boot or become unstable.

Factory unlocked version or the T-mobile variant? The factory unlocked should include these:
UMTS: 1,2,4,5 LTE: 2,4,12,5,7,17
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900

I dont know.
Is this one:
microsoft.com/en-ca/store/d/alcatel-idol-4s-unlocked/93t646gz04f7/07gb?activetab=pivot%3aoverviewtab
They say this in the specs:
GSM network: 850/900/1800/1900, UMTS 2/4/5, LTE 2/4/12
So i'm afraid that i have no access to 4G network in Vodafone Portugal.
Even 3G, it sims to cover only one of the two frequencies used by Vodafone in Portugal.

What I listed above is off the box of that same exact model. Either one of us could be wrong....When you get it test it, and you could also install this app which seems good and works for viewing Frequeny locks on Windows 10 phones...Cell Mapper

Is the IDOL 4 Pro (EURO Variant) not available or too expensive to go with instead? That is the model that supports the needed frequencies for Europe....
EDIT:
Code:
Alcatel IDOL 4 Pro Specifications.........
[B]GSM Band 850/900/1800/1900
LTE Bands 1/3/7/8/20/28A/38
[/B]Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac
Wi-Fi Calling 1.0
Idol 4 pro is not available in Serbia, I for really long time use Windows Phone and I em satisfied with it. Friend of mine offered knowing that I love windows phones to bay me Alcatel Idol 4S North America version. Price is very tempting and I accepted but main reason is that I want to stay on Windows Phone for few years more.

The european version, sell in UK, for example, costs almost 500€ and the canadian/USA version costs less then 100€
I live in Serbia, Serbia is not yet part of European union so European model is not available in Serbia. Even if it's available it is to expensive for me ☺ . Mine only question is for supported basebands, it's confusing because on Microsoft store spec are umts bands 2,4,5 and people here are claiming 1,2,4,5 . LTE bands are even more confusing. Is there anybody that used this Phone ( Microsoft GSM unlocked version ) outside US and Canada to share experience.
Phone has arrived and I am truly impressed. I don't have lte band but it's not deal breaker for me. 2G 3G and 4G working great and I am happy to rapport so if anybody has doubt it will work in Europe.
Did anybody find the way to unlock more lte bands. I read that it is not so easy like on Lumia phones. It is necessary to unlock bootloader and after that it is theoretically possible to change modem configuration.

If your referring to the Idol 4s, I wouldn't waste too much time. There have been attempts to do this on the open market model that have failed. If you need the phone to work in European countries you should buy the Idol 4 pro.
You can still attempt it if you want but if you don't know where to start then you're already asking for problems..
Just do searches in Google and on XDA if you need more resources. Note that you risk bricking your device or making it unstable too.

Personally I am not going to make a tutorial for something that does not work. However if you need resources you can find all of what you need by searching the XDA threads. If you succeed, then maybe you can make a tutorial for others to use
