Hi guys,
In a pickle here and need to "convert" a LS990 to a D855 for carrier compatibility. Can this be done? Hopefully without any carrier customizations...
Thanks!

You need to SIM unlock it. Look in the Sprint G3 General thread, plently of things referring to this. Hope I helped

Thanks. Tried some of the sim unlock methods with varied success here in Tokyo. We only got one CDMA carrier here. Since the hardware is the same I thought I'll just flash the D855 rom and pay the $5 for the sim unlock without wrestling with it much. Would that work or would I end up with a brick?
succumbtothegreater: Are you in Tokyo? Did you manage to unlock the LS990 successfully? My attempt to flash it with a D855 rom was short lived
I'd like to know if this is possible as well, I've not been able to find out much information on if the LS990 actually has the same hardware and thus would be able to use AWS-1 bands after an unlock/flash.
Magixxx : Check my other post on how to nlocl the LS990 for any cdma network. Not sure whether it would work for gsm but maybe worth the try?

Hey guys, I've been into rooting and installing custom ROMs on android phones for a while now. I have an LG G3 AS985. This is a phone through a local Wisconsin carrier called Cellcom. They use they're own CDMA network and then use Verizon's network for data. I am having some trouble finding information about this specific model phone and have noticed that a lot of the ROMs for the G3 seem to be model specific. Does anyone know if other ROMs will work on this phone without destroying my carrier data. The phone is stuck on 4.4.2 and I would love to have Lollipop on it. Thanks for any help guys.
Were you able to flash KDZs from VS985 on it?
Hey guys. Sorry if this question has already been posted.
My G4 is H815T. I've been looking around for a root method but in vain.
Hope you guys can help out...
Thanx in advance.
The international H815 v10c image works on the H815T, even though the guide says it doesn't.
I had used a pre rooted kdz for the h815t , it was for v10b though

I have an LG G4 H815T running V10h, just wondering what the best method to root is? I've read all of the XDA posts and so far it looks like I just use the V10c for intl versions of the phone but I really don't want to brick the phone as it's on a contract with Optus (Australia) for another year and a half, can someone please help me? can provide more info if needed.

good day/evening XDA community,
I have a question about the LG G4 US991 variant.
Is it the same in terms of development, modding, rooting etc.?
Can you guys shed some light as to what is the major difference compared to the H815?
Can the H815 developments, rooting, modding etc. work on the US991
thanks in advance guys...
*bump* i am wanting to put cyanogenmod on my LG G4 US991 (US Cellular variant bought unlocked at Best Buy for use on TMobile network which works just fine) but also cant find any info over the H815. Help?

If you are still on Lollipop, it can be rooted with Low Effort root and you can install Xposed through Flashify. That's it, since there's no bootloader unlock. If you're on Marshmallow, you can't root.

I'd swap out your US991 for a T-Mobile H811 (which comes with an unlockable bootloader out of the box). You can only unlock the bootloader on International (non-US) H815s and the T-Mobile H811.
Hey ecaslak, I accept that deal. I have a two weeks old g4 US991 and I happily swap with yours.

Hey guys,i recently got the LG G4 coming from a G3
Trying to unlock the bootloader of this phone i saw that the Taiwan model that i have isnt supported
I am thinking of what i can do to unlock my device
I thought a possibility would be to flash the european image on my phone in download mode ?
Or enter a different IMEI to my device when LG Website asks me to enter it
If you guys have any luck with the other international versions of LG G4 please let me know
Thank you very much

Lg has stated that thats the only model that will support unlock. Nothing wrong with hope but dont hold your breath.

I know a developer in korea they say all Internationals models of G4 will have bootloader unlocked although he doesnt recommend it but it will be available.. He may not be sure of other carrier varients currently lg is working on it and its status will be available on their site when finished

Its one of those ill believe it when i see it. Now i know. There have been plenty of phones and tablets get unlocked officially and unofficialy 1.2.even 3 years later. I just know the encryption that the bls have on them and its bassicly unhackable. Thats why i say exploits. Unless someone finds the trusted key that lg uses. Which from what ive read. Is generated randomly from each iemi and android id. But i for one hope it happens and if ita any consolation that does revive my hope in g4 development. Lol i got a lg k7 unlocked and u can oem unlock then fastboot oem unlock. But theres absolutly no development for this device yet. Im bakin up a rom for it now
Hello.
I was thinking of getting an LG G4 as an upgrade from my shattered Huawei y6, but I was wondering how easy it would be to unlock the bootloader on the Rogers (Canadian) variant. I can't find anything on this. Also what is the model number for that phone?
Thanks for your time!

You can't unlock officially the Rogers model. The only ones are h811 which is T-Mobile US and h815 international(!) version.
There is a way to unlock unofficially with limitations which can be found in my signature
Besides this you should know that depending on the manufacturing date you will suffer from a hardware issue. Just search for bootloop g4..

Rogers phones are now 6 or 7 #?series I wouldn't would about bootloop
Although I avoided Rogers got an American phone because of bootloader
