Dear guys,
I'm on E97510H-232-10 now, with stock kernel.
I've been trying to install the E97510H-EUR-XX version on my device, but any KDZ file I have tried so far (10D, 10H, 20A) aren't changing the postfix "232-10" to "EUR-XX".
I think that the 232-10 is referring to a specific carrier's mcc-mnc (austrian), and my device is locked to that exact carrier. However I am using my phone on hungarian telenor (216-01), therefore there are some kind of incompatibles with my network (which causing massive battery drain).
After doing some FreeGee, my fastboot menu says that the phone is unlocked (and of course I bought it unlocked and carrier-free). If I now try to install kdz either with kdz updater, or stock LG pc suite, the software is installing as normal, but my postfix "232-10" is staying every time the same...
I've been researching on forums for the past 2 weeks, and for now I am so tired about that sh**.
Could you please tell me:
Which KDZ file to flash (size too please)
What is the proper method to install (a step-by step guide would be sooooo useful)
Please help me :fingers-crossed:

I picked up a pre-owned Gold G3 yesterday, my last one went pop!
This new G3, is Sim Unlocked, but with a Vodafone UK rom (V10a.235.15). After researching and reading around.. the G3 has EFS, so I followed the KDZ back to stock guide and flashed the Open EU rom, which went without any issues and seemed as if it had flashed and replaced the VF Rom, but it still has the VF splash screen, a VF updates Icon (Which can be removed) and software version, yet the G3 still detected and Loaded in my EE UK APN settings and no sign of any VF APN.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
So am I right in thinking.. If I wanted to make this a full UK unbranded phone, so no splash screen with a software V10a.EUR.XX.. I would have to Jailbreak the EFS partition and Replace VFRom stored on the EFS with the EUR-XX rom.
OR am I wrong entirely, so... How does this work
There are so many threads on here, that ask the same questions in different ways, hence why Im a litle confused as how this works
Thanks
Wait Wait Wait
So you cant manually import APN settings right? How about flashing a Rom from another European country?
Dont tamper with the EFS partition under any circumstances. If you do you wont have a IMEI and your phone will be worthless. Carrier branding does not occur within the EFS partition
I remember my carrier apps disappeared from Update Center when i upgraded my Australian firmware to a Taiwan Firmware so im pretty sure it might work for you.
When you flash the KDZ make sure you flash it using CSE Flash Mode

Can I just be clear before I answer... The G3 I bought is Branded to Vodafone UK, I am personally on EE UK and Im trying to remove the Vodafone Branding and make it a factory unlocked unbranded G3.
Thanks for the reply friend. I didnt have to enter any EE APN settings, they were already there, so not sure how that was... because I didnt enter them. Glad to hear its not the EFS, because I would rather use a branded phone and have it working than change its file system and mess it up. Also, I know the guide doesnt state it but I turned ON USB Debugging, would that make a difference
I followed the guide closely so did flash using CSE. Ill now flash another countries KDZ and let you know how i get on?
Could it be that Vodafone UK is the EU Open Rom, just a few minor changes..... What I dont understand is...
The EUR Open Rom flashes perfectly fine, reboots and starts... so why after a perfect flash using CSE, is the Vodafone UK rom still there. Any Ideas.

Im afraid no Luck... I flashed Open France, still booted to VF rom with VF software on it v.10a-235-15), then installed "Italy Orange", which actually worked, booted up a clean LG rom BUT, even though its v.10a, When trying OTA update, it said I was n the latest OS, which is no good, then using LG PC Sync.. it just updated to the UK VF rom again (20h).
So I took a long shot and flashed Open UK, still the same.... boots into VF splash screen and software.. so, Im at a loss. This is why I reckon carriers hide a rom on the EFS partition.
Any thing to add
Thanks
Hi,
I have a problem with my LG G3. The phone shows the well known message "Current version is not available for user. Can't find matched cust for NT-code mcc/mnc[], subset[]". If I insert SIM, the phone won't connect to any network.
This is how it happened:
I bought the phone form Aliexpress as refurbished. It came with Android 4.4. It could not find any update for my ROM. So I decided to root it and install CM13. But during the rooting process the phone got hard bricked. I had to follow the guide with shorting pins and Qualcomm driver to restore the phone. Unfortunately I didn't have the original ROM. So I flashed files from LGD855AT-00-V10e-EUR TOT. Then I was at least able to get to download mode and flashed a European Lollipop ROM with LGUP.
Since then I'm getting this error message no matter which ROM I tried. According to IMEI the phone location code is A6GBTN. So I even tried to install a UK ROM without any success.
I think the fault might be caused by the fact that during unbricking I flashed also do misc.img partition. And now the data in it don't match with my phone. Is it possible? What should I try?
Thank you.
Hello
I recently bought an LG G3 D850 32GB AT&T with version n, that is D85010n and while trying to get CM13 on it, i have got it stuck in download mode.
I have tried all possible solutions, searched on google, to get it recovered but I think its all about the firmware version conflict that the flashing fails.
1. The phone doesn't go into recovery or fastboot mode.
2. Trying to charge while turned off, results in entering download mode
The last resort i thought was the DLL and TOT flashing via flashtool but it failed too saying "Change Partition Error" [3 sec]. The firmware i used, and widely available is LGD850_V10D-xxx-xxx or LGD850_V10f-xxx-xxx. I dont seem to find the V10n version of the rom.
I am asking for help here please. Is there any way to revive the telephone? It was originally on kitkat 4.4.2, unlocked for other networks.
thanks

open phone . take out mother board .. and read plaque model. if sprint flash sprint KDZ and LGUP. if H815 then do that .. thats the only way to be sure.
U have a refurbished model.Go to nearest mobile repair shop & take out your motherboard to see what model no is written on this.Then flash a rom accoringly. Don't flash any other rom just by assuming else you will brick your device.
Yes my phone is refurbished...
But how to flash the rom?
If I found it to be a sprint version and flash a sprint rom ...it will be locked?I am using phone in India...
Any chance to root the phone and install twrp?
Then flash a custom rom?
Please help...

Most probably it will be locked cause most higher Android versions LG has blocked rooting or unlocking..But you can always browse few threads.
Mine is also a refurbished model with F500L motherboard,LS911 body & had H815 global rom installed out of the box.I am currently on F500L Nougat locked & unrooted..I have tried almost every method.It failed to root & even to enter fast boot.
If you get your proper model no on motherboard then just flash the rom with ToT flasher in download mode with respective DLL.

Your network is locked?
You cant unlock it?
Can we degrade our Os to lollipop to get root?
Even I cant turn on the Enable OEM unlock under the developer mode...
Any more advices?
Please help.....
I have tried almost all h815 ans ls991 roms with all flashing methods but still unable to successfully flash my device...lg tot flash tool always show dl error after 4 to 6 percent of flashing...
Please help
Any idea's?
Pick the phone, and send it to the place where you bought it. If you have warranty the repair is free, if not, then you must pay sadly.
Still no solution, I even cannot enable OEM unlock under developer options...
It automatically disables it...
Please help
Just experienced this issue after changing sim card... Call and Camera stopped working over and over again.
How I solved it: Go to the specific app that is causing you trouble, and clear cache/files (too bad I only found this after 3 factory resets).
Maybe it will help ... LG G4 CAM
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any bricks/ issues you may encounter following this guide. Although, I will do my best to try to help you if something were to go wrong.
MAKE SURE OEM UNLOCK IS ENABLED UNDER DEV SETTINGS BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING BELOW
Update 2: 3/11/2021 : I see maybe deleting the .ta files may help avoid soft bricking, feel free to try it I have not personally tested yet to see if it works.
Update#3 3/13/2021 : If you are following this guide recently make sure you update to Android 11 first! Do not do any updates after the first one to Android 11! Then the flashing should work just fine. Tested and verified this on Taiwan XQ-AT52 to 51 firmware
Hello, I've managed to successfully flash AT51 firmware on my AT52 without issue using Newflasher.
Step 1 download = the US firmware/ whatever region is needed for you and new flasher/ the sony xperia drivers needed to flash the firmware to your device. Extract it to your desktop. Install the Xperia driver from newflasher if you need to/ haven't yet. Newflasher needs to be extracted into the same folder where the firmware files are that you downloaded from Xperifirm. This step is crucial!
Step 2 : Power off your Xperia and put it in flash mode by pressing down on the volume and connecting it to your PC via usb. (Do not use the USB C cable that came with the phone use a different one if you have one) You'll know it is in flashmode if the notification LED turned green and the screen remains off.
Step 3 : Open newflasher.exe
Step 4: type n then press enter
Step 5: type n again and press enter
Step 6 : This is when you should get to the flashing stage. Press Y and enter to everything you are prompted to. type y for yes to. This for me resulted in a successful conversion over to AT51.
Step 7: Once everything is done and it says you are safe to disconnect your phone please do so and then press and hold your power button until the phone boots up.
At this point you should have a fully working AT51 firmware!
Bare with me as I"m working on getting developer access for androidfilehost and will upload the files asap. In the meantime you can download newflasher and the firmware files yourself using Xperifirm if you don't wanna wait for me to upload.

Can you tell me the model of your xperia phone? If you can still get it into flash mode when the notification LED turns green you may still be able to recover it.
Hi, I finally managed to restore it. I have to remove all the ta files to flash it, then it booted up.
Thanks for your respond.

I have using newflasher
After using 3 time xperia companion it work normal again
Hi, I didn't find this thread until after I made an attempt at flashing the device. I followed the instructions from the link below and ended up with the device saying it's corrupted.
https://www.xperiablog.net/2018/01/...-firmware-for-xperia-xz-premium-xz1-and-more/
I tried redownloading newflasher as well as redownloading the firmware I wanted as well as a new cable and that did not help. I reflashed it with this procedure listed above and it did not help.
Xperia companion won't let me do anything because it says the device is locked even though the device was not locked and there doesn't appear to be a way to unlock it. edited to add that I did get xperia companion to repair it successfully
edit again to advise I succeeded only after doing n and enter a third time then hitting y and enter for the final flashing step and that was successful in getting it updated correctly
Would it work to unlock my phone
Thanks for the guide!
Can I ask few questions please?
First is do I need to have my bootloader unlocked? I enabled OEM unlock setting in developer settings but that is only one thing I did.
And the second one is could this flash unlock my phone?
I am in this situation where my AT51 won't work with other sims except for Vodafone. UK.
I stayed with them for 30 days, (required time frame to get your phone unlocked) requested unlock code and it has been more than 10 working days but still have not received the code.
So today I did some searching online and found the service code to check if my phone is locked to a network and to my surprise it says it's not. So I am guessing that they have limited my phone to using only their sim through some other means andnot buy locking my modem. But this is ofc just a guess.
I kept chatting with the customer support and he keeps saying wait for the code which I do not believe is going to come, they have to unlock it on their end. But I am not sure about that. I don't think they are sure either..
Basically I'll wait fem more days maybe they will unlock it but if they won't when I am thinking maybe my modem is not locked and I could unlock it by flashing different ROM?
Or do you think this won't work?
Sorry for a rambling post. Looking forward to your reply. Thanks!

You do not need the bootloader unlocked as you are flashing official firmware.
Anyone know if you can flash a XQ-AT52 to a XQ-AT51 and then back to the XQ-AT52 firmware?
Sent from my XQ-AT52 using Tapatalk
I know this thread is a few months old at this point but I'm really struggling to flash to XQ-AT51. I've successfully flashed from XQ-AT52 Hong Kong (my original firmware) to the Taiwan version which is slightly better because of the messaging compatibility but I really want to get the US version. I have tried at least 20 times over the course of a full day and I have not been able to flash the US firmware without getting an error saying "Your device is corrupt It can't be trusted and will not boot" every time. I have repaired it back to the Hong Kong firmware (back when that was the one I had) and to the Taiwan version once I had that installed. But I have never gotten the US firmware to take without the "Device is corrupt" error.
My phone is the Sony xperia 1 mark 2 running the then default XQ-AT52 Hong Kong, and now running the default XQ-AT52 Taiwan. I've been trying to flash to XQ-AT51 US. I've been using newflasher v39 and the US firmware downloaded for xperifirm v 5.5.0.
So I was able to flash from the hong kong version to the Taiwan version and back with no issues at all. But I'm still unable to flash to the US version without the "Your device is corrupt It can't be trusted and will not boot" error that seems to happen every single time I try to install the US firmware.
Can someone make me a favor and can upload the latest ftf of Android 10 for the Xperia 1ii Single SIM?

The 1 II has downgrade protection, so as long as the firmware version of the US version isn't the same or newer than the highest version you've ever used you're gonna get the corruption error.
What you could try is flashing the newer EU version and then flashing only the older US customisation image. That's what I did for a while since US firmware was older than EU firmware, and it worked. Not sure if it'll work with Android 11.

im in the us and was looking to the 256gb version (i think its taiwan). is the hong kong or taiwan version missing anything? or is the only reason to flash to US to get better coverage with us carriers?

It's for better coverage and for VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling support. Also if you get a HK one with Android 11 you will be unable to flash the US firmware, because it is still on Android 10; and the phone has anti-rollback protection.
it arrived on 10 still, but its bugging me to update.

This isn't the case now since the US models have Android 11 too now
Can anyone confirm that this process has to be done using USB 2.x? I've read in a separate post that newflasher isn't compatible with USB 3.x, which is currently what all my computer use. Also, should I be using the newest version newflasher?
EDIT: Tried on USB 2.0 and it worked perfectly.
