[Q] Can I change from v10n-HKG to v??-EU - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've got a D855 which is currently running V10n-HKG-XX. I'm in the UK but bought the phone off of eBay so I guess it came from China. My question is; can I change my phone to think it's an EU phone? Say I flashed a stock firmware such as one of these would I then receive OTA updates as if I was an EU phone? Would this cause issues? If I did a full reset of my phone, would it go back to the HKG firmware?
I'm considering rooting and flashing a custom ROM. Does having the D855 HKG instead of the EU version make any difference to this process?
Thanks for any and all help with this!

Problems changing Rom
Hi guys I seem to be hitting a problem. I have a d855 uk version of he g3 branded to Vodafone uk.
No matter which rom I install it will always stay the same branded version. For example if i flash euro 10A it will become a Vodafone version of 10A not the generic euro version. I have tried uK specific kdz and euro ones, even tot files the same thing happens it will downgrade to the version of my carrier specific rom.
I don't know what else to do it flashes ok just never makes it stock with no carrier branding. Any ideas. Thanks guys.

Any way to upgrade rooted TWN H815 to MM?

I have a Taiwan model H815, running Lollipop and rooted using the injection method. I was wondering whether there were any options for me to upgrade to MM and retain root?
Nope 'fraid not. I have the same problem. The only way to get rooted MM is with an unlocked bootloader which is not available for any non-European G4. I'm looking to sell mine and buy a Euro model specifically because of that problem.

G4 H815 version not avaiable

Got my G4 H815 yesterday from Vodafone Uk. I wanted rid of the Vodafone startup screen so flashed a few UK stock roms but i always get the message "current version not avaiable" have i flashed the wrong version? Also, every version i have tried is full of Vodafone apps, digiposte, access compte, swisscom etc and they won't delete, even with root. Is there a stock rom that doesn't have that stuff pre-installed? Thanks

I can't update my phone

Hello everyone, I'm making this thread because Im having some trouble updating my phone to the latest version of Andriod.
I have an LG G3 D850 factory unlocked. This means it's an at&t phone, so I'd need an at&t sim to update it. The problem is, I dont live in the US, Im from southamerica, Uruguay specifically.
As I dont have the sim or anything, my phone is stuck in Android 4.4.2.
My question is, is there any way for me to update my phone? What happens if I download and install the D855 version for this phone (the international version) will it block my networks?
Thanks for reading!

It will block your network most probably brick your phone

Question about flashing a stock KDZ rom from a different region

Hi all, I currently have a G7+ with the model number LM-G710EAW. From this site, there's a few EAW's that get the android 10 update, that is the HK, KR, and SEA. To this day, my phone is still on Android 8. Since that the only way to check the phone region via IMEI is now gone, I have to assume that my phone's region is IDN (I bought it in one of Indonesia's domestic store). With that, I have a few questions
1. Is it safe to flash a SEA KDZ to a IDN phone? Is there any possibility of bricking it?
2. What about the baseband compatibility? Can I still use the cellular network?
3. Is there another way to check an LG phone's region?
Thanks in advance!
