hi there..
i want to buy this device..
i found this online.. it's written spanish i think on the back of the box ..
this belong to any carrier ? i mean it's locked or unlock? can i put my own sim to use the phone?
what is the part number ? is it international?
is there anybody out there?
I think ask via meesage to device's owner. If unlocked you can relock. If isn't international for your country you can make it international for some money

Which country are you located? If you buy from Sony Mobile there wasn't any carrier and its Unlock. So, no branding at all. It just came with Sony preloaded software.
Otherwise, you could get it here and shipped to you.

Hi, Italy here. The Italians Carrier wil brand devices with the StartUp logo and some bookmarks.
Same issue for me.
I've ordered an Z1 Compact and I got a TIM branded device, now I need to understand if I should ask for a replacement or I can debrand without any risk.
You could flash an unbranded firmware to get rid of any software branding. Just make sure your device doesn't have a SIM lock or similar: dial *#*#7378423#*#* (*#*#service#*#*), then go to Service info, SIM lock.
Read (!! not just browse) the Resource Thread for further instructions.

Hello can anyone please tell me the difference between them ? does m8x come with unlocked bootloader or rooted is it a Chinese version ? is it safe to buy
please explain every detail you know thanks .
They're just different models for different regions. If you're in the UK, you want the M8_UL, model number 0P6B10000, so you get full GSM/4G coverage
So nothing comes with unlocked bootloader unless its developer edition ?
That's correct (unless you buy second hand and someone has already unlocked it)
Looking to buy a new phone, settled on the G4, gonna make sure I get a revision 1.1 and a 603 serial phone.
I am gonna be on MetroPCS so let's keep that in mind.
Really need help chosing, I am looking at the 815 and the 811 along with US991.
Any help would be great.
Or if you had a phone suggestion below $350 that would be comparable or better please share.

So you would suggest the 815 then.
the h815 from the specific countries on that list are the only ones with unlockable bootloaders. if you buy an h815 from a region not on that list you cannot unlock it and thus cant have twrp, custom roms, etc
The H815 or international version is the best choice ...LG is giving u the files to unlock ur bootloader ...theres are many roms out there u can flash and try ....And I m talking from personal experience i have a H815 and i have already flash 3 different roms and i have unlock my bootloader and didnt encounter any problems at all ....A friend of mine bought another h815 and encounter a bootloop after a official software update but after a factory reset all was working good ....i live in europe ....

id say go with h811... if you unlock bootloader you warranty is over... if you buy international if something happens you must send back phone for repair...to what ever country you get it from according to the list that can be unlocked... not sure if you buy in the states the h815 comes with no warranty. either..
Mine is LG G7+ G710EAW from HongKong. In the box it has a paper written about region lock that takes 30 minute local call to unlock. I don't live in HongKong, so I assumed the shop I bought did all this for me.
I want to flash a new firmware to another region and perhaps re-flash back to the original one. Will region lock come back (or even worse, the new firmware has it too)?
I tried it myself today. The answer is no. It will not come back.
Did you experience the region lock limitation or just saw a notice about it?

My G7+ was region locked to China, Hongkong, and Macau area. It had been unlocked properly by calling using a regional sim card, Now I don't live in the country of purchase anymore (Hongkong).
I was afraid if there should be something that would trigger the region lock again. However, after hard resetting and flashing another firmware, seems that region lock once unlocked properly will be unlocked forever regardless of whatever you do with the phone.

When cross region, just use the same model number (mine is G710EAW ), whichever region is OK. Hongkong firmware on my G7+ does not support VoLTE and LTE-U in my country so I flash Indonesia firmware to enable them.
You can find all G7/G7+ firmwares on all variants on the internet easily, just use LGUP, .dll file for your device, and USB driver to flash the firmware you want.
Thx for your information.
Even if there was a chance that it is not permanently region-unlocked, you could always just order the unlock code from one of the many online unlocking services...they basically just get the unlock code for you from the manufacturer. Then you could just keep the code handy, in case you ever needed it...
I paid like $14.00 for the unlock code for my black UK/EU Region LG G7 (G710EM) when the U.K. seller that I bought it from mistakenly shipped it to me in the U.S. without first making the local region 30-minute phone call...but it was cool being the first one to actually unseal the box, and it took less than a day for the online unlocking service to send me the code after I ordered it.
I just bought another one from the same UK seller (in platinum grey), and this time I actually requested that they send it to me still sealed (and still region locked)...I will just order the unlock code like the last time. All good!
Good luck, in any case!
Cheers,

Similar to the thread, I'm using LM-G710N which is the korean variant. I guess the store did unlock for me so if I flash other region or international fw, will I be able to take advantage of these variants' dual sim ? Since my dad has a korean samsung s8 single sim which now converted to use it with dual sim.
