I recently purchased in Hong Kong a LG G3 of whom I am very satisfied.
I have already rooted it.
I have 3 questions:
1. how can I check which model do I own? (D850? D851? D855?)
2. I have rooted it, but what will happen when I do the next official OTA upgrade? Will I lose the rooting?
3. MISSING feature: the only feature I miss (from my previous device) is the possibility to record a phone call. Is there a possibility, via a kernel or a specific apk, to restore this capability? Or do I need to flash a custom ROM (I wish not) ?
Thank you
Saulo
I have one more question:
I am currently in China. I am sure that China Unicom is currently using TD LTE (borrowing the network from China Mobile), since the deployment of their own FD LTE will start, at least in my area, in January 2015. How can then my LG G3 show the 4G icon in the top bar?
Does LG G3 have TD LTE embedded in the Ericsson LTE modem?
By contrast, my Samsung Note 4 SM-910C (which has several FD LTE bands but NOT TD LTE) is showing H+ (WCDMA) in the top bar, under the same condition, same SIM card, etc.
Thanks
Saulo
Hi all
Who can help this man?
I also want to know how to check the proper model number (D850....)
Maybe.... Settings --> Phone Information --> Hardware Information --> First entry??
If you rooted your phone and you install an OTA Update, the root is gone. That was my experience. But I saw some tutorials where other people still have root access. Nevermind... you can root with easily after your OTA Update.

1- By adding your IMEI to the end of this link in your browser you can check your model: csmg.lgmobile(dot)com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=
2- AFAIK, for the OTA updates it's more convenient to flash a stock rom to unroot and then rooting again after OTA update
3- There may be some apps allowing this feature, however I don't use any
ACR works for call record in
IF you don't want to upgrade to 5.0 yet and prefer staying on 4.4, install xposed and G3 tweaksbox, it unlocks the built-in ability to record (and auto record) all calls.
Hi molius. Do you mean that with 5.0 we do have by default the phone call recording feature? And. By the way, do you know when version 5.0 can be installed? Will it be OTA ?

It's recommended not to update OTA if you are rooted, and want to stay rooted as it may cause instability. More information on that and how to update safely here http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/psa-stop-taking-ota-updates-update-t2909412

I do live in Uk and Spain, and I purchased this refurbished device knowing that supports 800mhz and 1800mhz enough for calls and 4G data connection in both countries.
It came from china with an unknown ROM, it did work fine with 4G Data.
But I can't live without a rooted device. So I flashed stock ALL_SPT_N910PVPU4COG5_N910PSPT4COG5 then I realized that couldn't be rooted and worse I can't roll back.
Then tried the, among several, next combinations that I remember.
- Stock n910p......OG5 + Auto root = Crash!
- Stock n910p......OG5 + official upgrade to Marshmallow PE1 + Root = No SIM signal at all
(this is odd)
- Stock n910p......OG5 + [ROM][6.0.1][TRLTESPR] Emotion AOSP R10 [OFFICIAL] = only 3G only if use menu *#*#4636#*#* toggle to wcdma
So I only need automatic gprs- 3G - 4G and Root independently of being in a custom or stock ROM. Any suggestions?
(Must be a way where sprint user can use the device in Europe and enjoy 4G and calls.)
Thanks

Flashing [ROM] [Hybrid-X] [Lollipop 5.0 & 5.1.1] [Pre-Rooted+Mods+AEL-Kernel] [8/25/2015] = If I force LTE connection I don't get any signal; In automatic network selection, max download speed is 3G or 3.5Mbps download-Test (whilst my old Note 3 in 4G arrives to 12Mbps download)
Any Ideas?
Thanks
Same problem - let me know if you work it out please!
I have the same problem but in Australia, tried updating grey market rooted SM-N910P that was working fine on Lollipop N910PVPU4COG5 to Marshmallow stock N910PVPU4DPE1. But now it appears to be a USA SPRINT CDMA version and no longer shows LTE/WCDM/GSM and SIM won't work on Australian network. Clearly I have a lot to learn.
Got a good deal on a moto z2 force (with 3 moto mod accessories, so had to snap it up) - From Vodafone UK
Question about Oreo updates on this phone. Does not exist yet as I believe it is down to the carrier and networks to finalise, test and release, hence the delays.
I am aware that there are quite a few oreo firmware for retail models. (Although none exist yet for XT1789-06?) I have already unlocked the bootloader and I wanted to update to the recent ones. What I am worried about is the IMEI baseband. Anyone had success with this specific model (06)?
There's root, su ,magisk and xposed on this thread thanks to enetec.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2...w-to-safely-blunlock-twrp-root-t3704596/page1
Have not seen any oreo related updates, I did read on another thread that the t-mobile Oreo update was pulled because it was having issues with calls I think so maybe our version they are having the same issues. Have not even found a flash all file for our device so one a bit hesitant about even trying any other Rom.
Official bootable and flashable twrp works on nougat. Sprint wasn't on Oreo until late Feb z so I have used the first iteration on my phone before the Oreo OTA. It will have decryption support which is advised compared to encryption not working. That's a huge security risk. I'd suggest using official twrp and magisk if you want root. That way you keep encryption.

Hi there updated mine to Oreo with the file in this link https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/nash/official/RETAIL just follow the instructions in the link In post 2 on this thread, I'm pretty sure you can skip the unlocking bootloader (unless you want root as I do)
No, the above is no good for my carrier/phone (Vodaphone UK) Results in wifi and modem not working. Also 3 sparse files are missing. Used a US based USC Oreo rom and works perfectly now however

I had the the wifi problem when i flashed twrp (but still had network), then flashed the rom in my last post I am also on the uk vodafone model. could you post a link to the rom you flashed please.
It was this one https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754473797
It did give error in regards to the bootloader writing (and timed out - so did not overwrite bootloader) - I already have bootloader unlocked and was on Nougat when I recieved the phone. After updating to oreo, however with the exception of the carrier logo during boot, I have found no issues whatsoever with this rom on a Vodafone XT1789-06 UK model device. I also uninstalled or disabled US based applications / carrier bloat.
Everything works fine (Moto mods, Wifi, network, camera, 3d acceleration) etc
(Note, ignore the fact that the download is from the MotoZ2 play folder, there was no new directory for Z2 Force according to the uploader)
Cheers for the link already had this file downloaded but didn't flash it as I noticed it was a us Version. there was a update at 19:30 on the link I posted but have not flashed it yet, no bloatware on this rom just plain stock and all mods work will flash the update sometime over the weekend and let you know how it goes.
I tried the newer version recently and same issue (no wifi or modem), so reverted back to USC version
Hello guys i also have the z2 force on UK Vodafone and looking for a 8.0 update. Did you guys find one that completely works? i dont want to unlock the bootloader or root (stops my bank app).
Any news on this please?

Unlocking bootloader doesn't stop Banking apps but root will, I have an unlocked bootloader and on the xt1789-06 Vodafone UK running stock ROM from the link I posted above got both nationwide and Barclays apps and both run fine if you flash the first n version it will do all the seamless updates, it just seems Vodafone are a bit slow at pushing them.
I saw yesterday on various tech boards that the G Stylus (Pro) has started receiving the official Android 11/R updates, with the first ones appearing on January 30th or so. Saw many screenshots of the update screens and read a few user reports/reviews.
It appeared that many of the reports are coming out of the UK and Europe. Has anyone here received the update or notification yet? I'm running RR 8.6.4, so I won't get the notification. However, if its being pushed out already --- I might revert to the 10 stock rom and give it a go.
Also, I'm guessing the factory unlocked and unbranded phones are more likely to get the push than the retail branded variants, correct? If you have received the 11 build, what variant/carrier do you have?
I'm running the factory unlocked variant, with verizon as my carrier (doesn't matter lol. just throwing it out there).
I recently got an update. Finally installing it. QPR30.80-58-8-3-2-4. It's not android 11, just an update. Why update if there is a whole new version of software. Seems like a waste of time. Which makes me think 11 isn't coming anytime soon.
I made a .bat to flash the g pro 11 update on my metro stylus. Running pretty smooth. Stylus options are updated as well. I dont know about the service since I dont have metro anymore and its locked to them. If anyone has an unlocked bootloader and wants it let me know.
No Android 11 update here yet, US Unlocked. Hoping they unlock the wide angle lens for photos, among other things.
I downloaded the UK Android 11 update. I used a batch file to flash the update via fastboot without wiping data. I have an unlocked bootloader and I am on Verizon. Everything seems to be working, text, phone calls, LTE.
Thanks for the heads up. Hope to get the OTA sooner rather than later.
Hello.
I have G Pro (XT2043-7) which is the retail European (reteu) version.
There was never December update here (Serbia), but today I got notified that Android 11 and January security patch are up.
Android 11 should really be called 10.1... Anyway...
Negative
1) I noticed new Peek Display – now it's the same as on G9 models which personally I don't like (a bit of ugly).
I want Moto signature circle back :/.
2) In Developer options, they removed Theming (it was the last setting). Just why? Motorola's Android 10 phones got
Theming in Moto app, and yet it was never an option for G Pro unless you enable Dev. mode and it worked.
Now is removed or I can't find it anywhere.
EDIT
In Display, they added Styles so there you go. Why is not that a part of Moto app? Who knows...
Positive
1) Phone is smoother and launcher lag with folders is mostly fixed.
2) Gesture navigation finally works with any launcher. I personally use Shade Launcher.

i have an unlocked bootloader stylus with metro and would give it a shot, still has service also... (edit) never mind made my own with the RETGB firmware from lolinet. had no issues as of yet.
I'm in the US and I just got the android 11 update last night.
I don't like it On the recents screen, they replaced the bottom row of homescreen with a screenshot button. I barely ever take screenshots, but I used that row of apps constantly.
I was excited for conversation bubbles, but the two apps I heavily use for texting/messaging; discord and Google voice, don't support bubbles (yet...hopefully).
Im thinking about installing a custom rom. The only reason I didn't yet was to get this update OTA.
Just installed it in an unlocked version and now get a VZW popup when trying to turn on hotspot
I just tested my Hotspot. It's still working with no pop-up. Of course, I'm using US Mobile, not Verizon.
I've been running 11 on a retail US model for a day or so & the stock launcher is super laggy.
I got 11 just yesterday.
Just received Android 11 OTA RPR31.Q1-56-9. Was also able to download stock ROM from LMSA:
SOFIAP_RETAIL_RPR31.Q1_56_9_subsidy_DEFAULT_regulatory_DEFAULT_CFC_R4_CFC.xml
Now I'll have the corresponding boot.img and good to go with unrooting and installation of OTA
Anyone find a version of TWRP that works with it (XT2043-4)?
I have received the update. After I have tried installing ROMs with no success. I may have to update the device tree and give it a go at making updated roms
I was trying to flash official zip from lolinet. I got a moto g fast carrier locked from boost mobile, bootloader unlocked tho. To see if I can remove the software variant "boost". Obviously to use it with my current carrier Metro. But I accidentally....(yeah right)! LOL. I ended up flashing in a blink the zip file
RAV_RETAIL_11_RPJ31.Q4U-47-35. and now, I got my self a moto g8 with android 11. Let me tell you. ITS AMAZING....some screenshots...
Got a link to where to download this firmware? The latest RetUS firmware on lolinet is still Android 10.
Does Android 11 on G Fast support WiFi calling?
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/rav/official/RETAIL/RAV_RETAIL_11_RPJ31.Q4U-47-35_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
That's the link from lolinet.
I have been exploring the device. (Hidden menu/settings, secrets codes) and I do see wifi calling native. But when I start the "action" it just opens up an empty white screen from settings that sais wifi calling preferences...
But no option to select....at all.
maybe cause my carrier doesn't support this mode?

I was too lazy to change my phone to RETAIL channel. Looks like Android 11 has now come to RETUS channel.
The firmware now includes a super.img_sparsechunk.15 file. I cut and pasted stock firmware flash instructions and failed to notice that it didn't flash this file and my phone boot looped. I redid the flash with all 15 sparsechunk files and now my phone works on Android 11!
I haven't made any calls yet. Call quality has been absolutely abysmal with Boost thus far, presumably due to lack of WiFi calling.

Yes I have a moto g facking boost mobile. There is no way of sim unlock this thing. Only sprint can do it. I'm on the latest ResurrectionRemixOS. And is, thus, trust me on this, the only ROM that fits my needs. I can do all and stil boot it up. No issues.
I'm on the latest TWRP recovery. Like flashed on memory....
Oh yeah and im under T-Mobile APN downloads are 50mb+ EVERYWHERE.
Stock Rom from boost mobile is horrible

Hey everyone, having an issue with my LG G8. It is a sprint phone, however I was using it through T-Mobile. The problem came when I tried to switch to Mint Mobile, I am unable to edit any of the current APNs and I cannot select them or any new ones that I create. Because of this I have no data and cannot even call or text. Any help is appreciated!

Pretty sure that running the Sprint rom, you won't find a way to make it work (properly) with t-mo mvno. Why not just cross-flash to US Open rom? My G8 has that rom and it works great with Mint, has volte and vowifi etc.
Mine is orig Sprint also, used remote unlock to unlock from Sprint. Then used Bkerler EDL utilities to completely backup Sprint rom (no kdz available, also, many of the files backed up now available could be needed later).
then use Netmsm guide to do crossflash, you don't have to root, but can if you want to. Since there won't be any more updates, really no reason not to. Latest (and probably last) version is a11. It works very well.
cheers

Hello. LG G8 ThinQ Unlocked (T-Mobile) here. Also got Mint Mobile. Everything works flawlessly w/o going through all that. Wi-Fi Calling, VoLTE, HD Voice+. Just wanted to say that we are getting Android 12.

Well, you "go through all that" if you don't happen to have a T-Mobile device. And, not sure where you're getting your information but, Google does not release the ROM for LG devices, LG does.
