Hello!
So I bought the f240 thinking it was optimus g pro... Darn fake used phone seller.
Anyway, is it possible to make gps work outside of korea? It doesn't catch any satellites atm. Stays at approx 0/22.
And what do I have to do to make e98x roms work on this phone? Flash a new kernel?

Hi!
I was wondering if i can I convert F180L to E973/971?
I saw that you can do it with E975 but i didnt read anything about 971/973.
I want to have 3g 850/1900 but I dont know which bands is the korean version.
Thanks!
E973/971 have 8mpx camera. Do the math yourself.
Help!
I need also those bands! Its there anyway to have em?
Buy Aliexpress
I am trying to buy a LG Optimus G wth WCDMA 850/1900 in Aliexpress, but they say that it is 8mx and the model F180 ... is this right?
I tought that only Canadian models had 8mx... or maybe the seller doesnt know what he is selling...

Ok guys I need help pleassssssssse im hoping somebody here can answer my question. There are so many versions of the Lg Optimus it aint funny. I bought a Lg Optimus e970 for my wife who lives in France thinking it would work, she gets phone calls no problem and some 4g, but no 3g at all, I found out that phone didn't have the 3g 900 frequency needed to work.
My wife loves the Lg Optimus, so read that the E975 has the 900 and 2100 Frequency needed to work on 3g in france and the 4g frequency to. Now comes the problem. I bought a F180l Optimus G off ebay, and was told its exactly the same as a E975, but in fract I don't see this anywhere, I cant confirm it has the same specs as a E975, so Im here looking for help from you guys, can somebody tell me if my F180L optimus g is the same as a E975 ? im at a loss trying to find out, thankssssss a lot.

I don't understand and there doesn't look to be a simple and clear explanation about what I'm asking, so here it goes:
What is the difference between the F180 versions and the e975? I mean, I've heard F180 are from korea but mine is also made in korea. Does it mean it is a F180?
Sry if this is noob, but I've always had this doubt ..
Thank
Where the phone is made has nothing to do with the model. F180S/K/L are the phones for three carriers on Korean market. In a nutshell, F180 uses the same hardware as E975. Two main differences:
1. F180 has a DVB module instead of FM Radio in E975 (with a telescopic TV antenna in the upper right left corner). This feature is useless outside of Korea, but doesn't cause any problems (just doesn't work). If you don't have this antenna on your phone, you can be sure it's not F180.
2. LTE bands are different from E975, and also different between three F180 models. Few people are reporting that LTE on F180 actually works in some countries outside of Korea, but be ready to accept the fact that you will not have LTE.
For more details, look up topics about F180 to E975 conversion and associated problems (mostly with the network signal and screwed-up IMEI). There is A LOT of info on the subject.
Thanks a lot!
I understand it now
Hello!
First of all, sorry for new topic, but I didn't want to BUMP all topics.
I need your help
I will order LG Optimus G PRO online.
They are offering F240 for 40$ lower than E980
As I was reading few posts on XDA i found out that F240(Korean version) will work fine in Europe after some modification to build.prop. (By work fine i mean 3G, LTE, and GSM(telephone)signal.)
Can you confirm this for me please.
Thanks!
Yeah you should be fine, my G Pro is originally an E986 (French Europe) and I'm running datphu's G3 Rom that turned it into an E988 (HK) lol
I get 4G and good signal as if I was on the stock rom. So yeah, I think you should try to install a custom rom, you're lucky, there are plenty of good ones that mimick LG G3
But keep in mind that the F models from Korea do have some problems with custom roms and carriers from other countries so be careful when you are getting these kind of offers.
Hi guys, can you tell me what are the variants of LG Optimus G Pro? Because tomorrow I am getting a second hand one, but the phone is not with the seller so I don't know the variant. The only clue is it has no LTE, and for sure it's Asia, Taiwan set.
Anyone can tell the exact model from these images?
