When I switched over to tmobile about 2 months ago I decided to keep my g3 that I had with att and also got another one with tmobile.
My question is, can I flash tmobile roms with the wifi calling onto that phone? I would like to test roms on that phone first before flashing it on my daily phone
bump.
Just got an AT&T D850. Have been trying most of the morning to move it over to a TMobile flash. However, TMobile only has the D851, which I do no believe will work ...
Has anyone successfully done this?
Be aware of that ATT hardware does not have AWS HSPA like T-Mobile hardware.
I did what this 3 weeks ago on an ATT LG G2 using LG Flash Tools and KDZ file.
After the flash, the device booted up normally with TMobile screen. Yet, nothing worked normally, no signal. I couldn't even to settings as it quit every time. The end is a soft brick phone.

I wouldnt do that if i were you. I mistakenly flashed a D855 ROM on my D851 and now its bricked. No boot, recovery or dowbload mode. So beware.
Only D850 Roms will work for you, no matter what carrier you are on. You will hard brick your phone most likely if you try any other variant.
I purchased a used Verizon LG G3 from someone online. It has Verizon all over the device; however, whenever I turned it on, US Cellular popped up on the screen. The guy told me all I had to do was call Verizon and they would activate the phone.
I contacted Verizon, and they said there was nothing they could do. I talked to a friend of mine and he said that it looked like they flashed the phone with a US Cellular firmware as the device is a VS985 but it is showing up as US990 on the firmware. I have tried flashing it back to a stock firmware of Verizon using the FlashLG Tool and stock *.tot file to which it fails and just says device model is different.
My question is, is there anything I can do to fix this or is this phone basically a paper weight?
I'm kind of new to this, so any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
Try flashing 24b using the KDZ method...

Flash KDZ to Sprint Variant
Long story short is I had a lot of problems with rooted sprint and ended up having to flash the verizon KDZ on it. This fixed all my problems but obviously I can't use it with sprint service now. Anyway I don't care about that but I am curious since I will still use my G4 as a media device until some method to restore sprint software comes around (if ever).
Can I flash any of the other KDZ files on my phone too? Or only US variant kdz will work?
Sprint LG G3 wont update Firmware. model is LS990. I had BlissPop Rom that allows me to use my Cricket Sim. i was getting +H, no 4g. I tried to go into recovery, it ended up in fastboot. then I tried to update firmware with LG FlashTool 1.8.1.1023 and it said failed. it then said I have a different model: d851. this model is for t-mobile. did the Rom change my model? What do I do from here? thanks for your help.
I'm not new to roms and rooting but recently I bought an LG G3 on ebay. The phone model says it was an unlocked d851. I know it's the T-Mobile variant and it even says it's D851 on the system settings. It is currently on kitkat 4.4.2. The point is, I want to flash the Lollipop kdz for the T-Mobile variant but whenever I power the phone on, I get the Viaero Wireless bootloader and the phone does not have any T-Mobile apps whatsoever. Any suggestions on what I can do in this situation? Any help would be highly appreciated
I have the same problem
