Hey guys,
I am wondering if anyone knows how to get a hold of the Australian firmware and flash the 32GB/3GB AU Firmware onto my phone? I imported one from Taiwan but it's currently running the Taiwan firmware. Not sure if there's any difference between the two but I'd feel better if my phone was running an actual Australian firmware that I can update properly, rather than an international firmware that I've had to make look like it's Australian, I'm even a few versions behind for some reason, and sometimes when I reboot it's back to Taiwanese...
My carrier is Telstra AU, I've got the 32GB/3GB Gold version. Not looking to root, running everything stock except the launcher (Using Nova Launcher) and all seems fine. I've installed LG PC Suite, I'm really just looking to backup my current firmware/kdz and flash a new Australian one.
Thanks in advance guys, looking forward to being a part of this epic community!
Hey mate! What's your model number? Is it the D855? It's funny, I imported mine simply because I didn't want the Ausy version of the phone. The only changes from the D855 and the Ausy version (model number which is D855K) is a few reception changes, and I'm not sure if they are hardware or software. I did a quick google, and I found this link, but I'm not sure how trustworthy it is, I'd be wary and scan anything with virus protection before. But here ya go. http://poweredw.gaodi.net/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=667560
There isn't much for us Ausys out there, which is why if you want to have a bit of support from XDA and other places, best stick with the inernational version.
Have a good one mate.

Hey mate,
Yeah, it's the D855, imported from Taiwan. The link you sent me to is a 16GB/2GB ROM, those of which are apparently everywhere, but I can't for the life of me find a 32GB/3GB ROM for us Aussies. I did import the D855 because it's the international one, which should be modded and tinkered with by more people because it's international, rather than just the D855k which only works for us Aussies.
But yeah, if you find a 32GB/3GB ROM for Telstra somewhere, would be MUCH appreciated, sick of my phone going back to Taiwanese every reboot
Thanks man!

LG didnt release the 32GB version in Australia, so you will never find a Telstra firmware for it... or Optus or Voda for that matter.
It shouldnt make any difference anyway as long as it has the same LTE bands, which I think it does.
Try an EU firmware that defaults to English maybe?

Ah okay, cheers man. Know of the latest EU/International firmware that would best suit me, preferably the latest version?

i cant honestly tell whether they are 16GB or 32GB, since some of them dont specify. As far as I am aware, if you update to an old UK or EU version (like 10A) you will get an OTA update to 10E pretty soon afterwards.
if you arent sure which one to flash, theres probably someone that is worried about the same thing in the comments of the thread somewhere that had their question answered. i havent read through the whole thing yet so sorry cant help you there.
good luck!

And would I be right in assuming this would be updated fairly regularly?

well its a personal web hosting... hosting sites always change for whatever reason. i would get it now while its there, cos who knows whether it will be there tomorrow. dont know whether the owner will keep it up to date regularly, but you can always read the forums to see when new updates come out.
the unbranded EU firmware is a popular one and will probably be one of the most frequently updated, so once you are on that you can probably get the OTAs as they come out too.

Hi all,
I just receieved my new LG G3 from Vodafone Australia. It's currently charging but upon inspection it has a model number which I hadn't noticed when I was researching the phone (LG-D855V).
I've attached pictures of the box, manual screens from the phone referencing the model number. Does anybody know what the difference is etc?
I'd say the V is just for Vodafone. You should DEFINITELY get to flashing a newer rom or doing an OTA update asap. That's the base rom for the phone, v10a. The latest 4.4.2 version is V10L I think. Alternatively, you can go to Android L. There's a dedicated LG G3 Australian Owners thread in the general section if you need help from any of us

Ah makes sense I guess. I've checked the hardware and it all seems identical to the D855. I came from a Nexus 5 with L and I'm already missing it so I'll definitely be looking to get an L rom on there.
Will take a look at the thread and do some reading. Thanks for your input.
did you get a gift?
optus is just d855; free wireless charger
telstra is d855k; free g watch
to clear confusion - you can flash d855 roms, the letter v doesnt matter. it confused me when i got mine lol.
DO NOT UPDATE IF YOU WANT TO ROOT!

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..
hi guys,i know this is not such a thing to ask for..but when i usely going to buy a phone i do my reaserch and see all those comparision videos on youtube and check if there's any problems and issues with it...THE PROBLEM IIIS, when i first googled ''lg g3'' i start notice a commun issue that a lot of people having *BOOTLOOP* and it sems like there's no solutions or way to fix it. and almost
all models did have that issue...and a freind of min tells me to buy the international version ''D855'' and of course i search for it and i fund some d855 owners did have this problm too
PLEASE HELP! what model i should buy ?? or should i go with the D855!
ps: am from algeria (north africa)
thnx
About bootloop issue,there is none.Only some lg "G4" were having this issue and not "G3".
Those g3s you found having this problem would be rooted and running some custom roms or kernels.
So don't worry about it and get the d855 variant.

you don't need the d855 - just be sure to buy one that's already unlocked or unlock it yourself before you flash to a custom firmware.
you can get it unlocked for about 10$....or a bit over that. check out unlockcellphonecode.org/shop/network-unlock-codes/lg-sim-unlock-codes/lg-g3-network-unlock-code/
i got my g5 unlocked there in about 10 minutes.
well, thing is my device has a firmware from a carrier form mexico and i wanted to change it to get rid of those MANY apps it comes with. however, i ended up with some questions, i want a version that can give me OTA updates as they come out (this carrier takes a lot of time to realease updates) so as far as i could find the lm-g710em10b was a good option, but my model is a lm-g710awm, so...
1._ can i flash the g710em10b kdz on my g710awm model without having to worry about something in specific?
2._ Is that kdz version a good one or do you recomend another one for me?
3._ as far i know i do not need to unlock my bootloader to change my firmware, am i wrong?
hope you can help me, and thanks in advance hehe
