I recently shifted from India to UK. I bought a 3 sim today. I wanna connect to 4G but since the phone is registered to India there is no 4G option to select. The model number is D885 and the software version is v10j-ind-xx. Its the 32 gig model. Is there an option to chnage its country so i can run 4G or do i need to reset the phone?

Before you do that and if you have root, go to system/app and there delete the lteconfigs files (both) then reboot

But my device isn't rooted and there's just 1 LTE config file.
So LG have locked the 4G usage to native countries with these stupid config files? I have an unlocked Aus version and was unable to use it the UK...what a retarded thing to do if so. Might get rid of this phone as I cannot be rooting my phone and need access to 4G in the UK.

I bought a galaxy nexus online in italy (imported).
The firmware is Yakjuxw and was not updated. I had a card H3G italy and everything worked ok.
I then updated to yakju and was always ok. I had Android 4.2.1
Today I changed my carrier and not read any sim Wind Italy
you can not tell me another radio to flash it correctly?
or at least I can redo the procedure to bring him yakjuxw?
how do I fix it without having to bring in help?
I discovered dall'imei by samsung which is imported Romanian
sounds like your phone was temporary unlocked and after flashing yakju you lost the unlock.. now the phone only accepts sim of the carrier its locked to.. the only way to fix this is by either calling the carrier and getting a unlock code or buying the unlock code online..
PS- i can see you need help but next time post in the correct section :good:
the gnexus is not carrier locked...
other sim with other carrier goes well...only wind italy have problems
maybe i have flashed a not radio img compatibile?
Try this app, it says it's only for docomo network. But it worked fine for me, you have to be rooted for it to work tough.

edit: Use the unlock method where you keep your IMEI code, could void warrenty otherwise.

oh.. then i am not sure what the issue is... weird that it stop reading one specific carriers sim
I can confirm nexus phones comes factory unlocked regardless the county you purchased it from.
Make sure you don't have a bad baseband after the ROM update.
I bought mine in Canada under a Fido contract and it works fine here in Italy and anywhere else I have been with any carriers.

hi,
the problem is that the sim is not recognized by the phone...it not ask me the pin code!
Now i can check the baseband....i flash this adio-maguro-i9250xxla02.img then i think i have this xxla2
and not work with this carrier
i think i must flash the JB Baseband...XXLF1 = baseband Europe
to install it as long as I put it on the phone, go into recovery and do update zip?
But have you tried a total recovery?

If he's running stock ROM, the baseband would have updated along with the 4.2.1 update...that's how my Nexus updated when I went to stock a few weeks ago...the bootloader also updates to the latest...the SIM is probably defective or that particular carrier runs on a different band (unlikely)...it could also be that the APN settings need to be entered manually like I have to do with Straight Talk.

Ask your carrier to raplace the SIM card.

The radio will have nothing to do with it. Almost all GSM GNex radios are compatible with almost all GSM carriers in the world.

Just wondering if anyone has a z1c which they purchased from the 3 network in the UK? Is so then presumably the 4g option is available under network settings? If so can someone create an ftf of the 3 firmware? I have an unlocked phone with a 3 sim card and the 4g option is not available nor are there any software updates available via pccompanion or ota so I'd be interested in flashing the 3 firmware to see if it resolves the issue.
Thanks

if 4g option is not available check ur variant model.
d5503 or d5502?
if ur device is lte variant and have problem with lte option try to repair ur firmware instead of flashing another firmware
if it not solve ur problem then u can search for flashable modem or another firmware
:good:
Definitely D5503 version. I've spoken to 3 UK and they've told me to wait for a software update from Sony. There is however no software update available for my phone - it's still on the original UK generic jb firmware 114 and I'm aware others have received two updates already following this version. I thought getting hold of the 3 UK Firmware might speed the process up :0)

Did LTE work on your previous phone? Some carriers require a new SIM card for LTE (like Orange in my country).

A new sim card may well be my next step however 3 state that its not necessary and should just require a firmware update. My previous phone was an Xperia T, I swapped to the Z1c so i'd have 4G capability! I may try upgrading to the .681 kitkat firmware first using the uk generic FTF available from these forums but I was just curious to know if anyone has purchased a Z1c direct from 3 and whether they have similar issues.

Have you tried dialling *#*#4636#*#* and then go to Phone Info, then scroll to the bottom (to the drop-down) and see if you are able to choose LTE/GSM/WCDMA (PRL) ?

Yes I've tried that. There are LTE options available in that menu but when I choose one and go back to the main settings the network mode has changed back to wcdma (preferred)/gsm.

If your SIM Card is old then you'll need a new one, I did for O2 so would imagine it's the same for most networks.

Just a minor question.
Do you have 4G coverage in your area?
I've just put my bro's sim card(3 network)
And the 4G option is available umder network settings,however there is no 4G in this area for Three.
REKOGNÍZED KONYHABÚTOR
Don't have 4g on the area I live at the moment but what started this whole thing off was that I was away with my girlfriend a couple of weeks ago and she had 4g (iPhone 5s) and I didn't - both on the 3 network.

Ok so I tried flashing the ftf of the UK generic firmware and the LTE option has now appeared. Obviously the update was required but for some reason Sony didn't want to give it to me by Ota or pccompanion! Anyway problem solved.

So far, managed to root my Korean F240L, still running 4.4.2 for now until there's a root for Lollipop. Haven't managed to see any 4G signal in the UK since I got it , get 3G sporadically but the reception is way worse than the same sim card in my old Nexus 4. Network is Giff Gaff (ie O2) , should I consider going for a UK baseband update ?
Right ok, since found out that the Korean version doesn't support UK 4G. Is it possible to change this ?

If the phone doesn't support the LTE bands your desired carrier offers, then no, you're boned.
Think I'm in a similar situation
Got an E986 from Germany running 4.4.2 KitKat (E98620a-EUR-XX), it works great on 3G in the UK but NO 4G at all on my Three 4G Sim card. Tried enabling it in the hidden phone menu - no joy.
I thought I would be able to get 4G working by rooting and re-flashing but by god I cannot get this thing rooted despite my best attempts from trying all the techniques on here
Thought if I downgraded to 4.1.2 then I would have better luck rooting, but can't seem to download a .kdz that isn't corrupted when I try the LG FlashTool

You cant change the bands of a phone by flashing other things. If it doesnt work it most likely wont be able too.
Hello all,
I bought on ebay a couple of G4 at a good price but I discovered only at the arrival they are H810 and not H815 models. It was stated in the description but I did not understood the difference, so it's my fault.
The main issues are two:
can't update from Android 5.1 to 6 without an AT&T subscription
doesn't support LTE band 20 that is used by my carrier Vodafone Italy so I have almost no 4G coverage
For the first issue I tried the forced FOTA method using ADB: I put the 20N.up file (using the specific AT&T MarshMallow for H810 foung in XDA) in the internal memory but the process does not complete after the reboot saying that the update service is not available
==> The second one is the worst one and I think I need either to enable extra bands or try to convert the phone to a H815, if the modem hardware is the same. I tried the hidden menu but under Field Test->Modem Settings the Band selection is not present!
So I ask to you experts if I can use a flashing tool like LGUP to flash my H810 with an H815 software and how.
Thank you!

But you should be able to flashtool or lgup to the newest firmware that is released for your device.
Hello, I just bought a G710ULM off the bay and verified the model before purchase. I received it and the software verifies it's a G710ULM but a IMEI check shows it's a PM (Sprint). So the software is still on V10b with no updates coming. I'm thinking this is because the update checks the IMEI and sees it as a Sprint device even though the software says G710ULM. I see a version on LG's site for 11e, is that the latest version? Trying to figure out if I'd been duped. The seller is a MAJOR seller and I'm thinking they are getting these as new Sprint units and LG or someone is reflashing them. I might be all wrong but 2 different IMEI checkers say it's a Sprint.

G710ULM owner here on Project Fi, the latest version is M10g. Updated to it about a week ago. Your phone may just need some time, or you can try using the LG Bridge software on a computer to update the phone over USB. Otherwise, it may just be a carrier thing.
I tried Bridge but when I check for update it gives an error. Wondering, when you check you IMEI does it show up as a G710ULM ? thank you
I got the same problem, got it on ebay, In settings the model is G710ULM, but the real model is G710PM. I also try updating via LGBRIDGE i aslo get the same error. Trying to get a KDZ file but i just cant find one and i don't know if putting another region firmware would work. There's a youtuber that had sprint LG G6 and just changed the Firmware (used one from canada, it work and also UNLOCKED all bands for world wide use).
Same ebay phone Same issue here with no s/n showing hardware is fine unlocked running tmobile usa.. Signal seems bad. Never see 4glte icon only 4g , H, G. Hopefully we can flash to some other firmware to get lastest update.Right now running v10b-Lao-COM firmware i guess thats sprint rom

Yes, the G710ULM firmware 10g that's the project FI(I used another link, not the same you posted, but it should work). I was running the same firmware V10b-LAO-COM, The project FI, was the only one I could find (ULM), so that's why I decided to use that one and because I read on Google that those phones are unlocked. I don't have the steps, but I could make a post in a few hours. And also it's still unlocked, using it outside the US. (I got this one on eBay unlocked version, but it's Sprint).
Does it work with Sprint now? I have the same story - bought "unlocked" g7 on eBay, shows G710ULM in settings but IMEI shows as Sprint phone.. Was working on Tmobile but when I activated with Sprint it doesn't read the SIM.
