HTV32(HTC10 for Japan) with WW firms and LTE-Band19?

I want to convert HTV32(HTC10 for Japan region) to WW or US firms, except its compatibility of LTE-Bands.
Because of some reasons:
I'm in Japan and HTV32 is compatible with LTE-bands I want(LTE-Band1,3,and especially Band19).
But the original firmware of HTV32 includes too many bloatwares that other versions of firmware don't include.
So in short, I want a WW or US version of HTC10 with LTE-Band19 compatibility.
I wonder this can be realized with flashing the WW firm and HTV32's original radio, but I don't know it really works.
Does anyone know any examples like this?
Or if you have any infos about this topic, would you share it to me?
Thanks

Which Hardware Version?

How do I find out which version I have? US or EU?

S10+ Korean version 975N much cheaper, any thoughts?

Hi guys,
Here is my dilemma: I live in Vietnam and I can get the Korean S10+ 512GB for about $770 (vs. $990 for the international version).
The phone is SKT branded, but I guess there will be a way to flash the unbranded Korea firmware. Can anyone confirm it's possible?
Also, the Korean version can only take 1 SIM but if it is like the previous Galaxy S, the hardware should be there, it's purely a firmware limitation. How hard is it to install the international version firmware (F/DS) on the Korean version? If possible, will I still get OTA? Will I need to unlock the bootloader?
Thanks for your help!

I don't know that you could install the international firmware on the Korean device. I know the Canadian models (W) can flash the US (U/U1) versions. Id just get some confirmation before trying it as to not brick the device.

What version of LG G7 should i buy for UK?

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.

Question Firmware limitations?

Hi,
Are there restrictions on which firmware you can use on a device? I mean could you use European (carrier or international) firmware on a device originally shipped to the US, for example. Is it just a case of missing some features or does it break the phone altogether?

it depends on the model number and Region. for example the US version model number is F926U / F926U1, F926B is the International Version, F926N is the Korean Version... you can only put firmware on from the same region(model) as yours. The following link has more info on model numbers and what region they are for. https://www.phonemore.com/models/samsung/galaxy-z-fold-3/
