don't even try.doing that it will brick your t-mobile g3. i did it by mistake and bricked my t-mobile g3 beyond repair ill end up sending my g3 to lg for repair.
Wont even try then. Thanks for letting me know
I wonder why it doesn't work with other variants. My HTC one I could change it to any variant without any problem but I guess its different on lg phones.

If you don't hard brick your device you will soft brick by way of corrupting a partition more than likely the boot partition. I did it with a d855 ROM and it hung on boot animation no matter what I did even after restoring a backup or wiping everything and doing a clean install. The only thing that saved my device was a kdz with LG Flash Tool 2014.

So today, I just flash a custom rom which is for F400S, it was working nice but then I tried to root it, it wont boot, its stuck on LG logo.
But when I try to flash it with tot file, it says different model, mine is F400S.
Will flashing F400S File fix this ?
And what variant is your device originally?

Its F400L.
I flashed a F400S and now it works
I went from F400K to F400S Only problem I have is the roaming settings, any change you still have the stock "T phone" apps? I removed them with titanium back, without making a backup first.... beginners mistake lol
Alright. Where do I start.
I want my phone to work with Wind network here in canada. I have the LG G3 D852 locked to bell/Virgin mobile, running androind 6.0 MM
I've already purchased an unlock code to use with any SIM, and this does work, however, being that it is the D852 variant, and not the D852g variant, the baseband is locked for this cellular network modem- wise.
My attempts to rectify this was to flash it with a stock D852g, as the hardware is the same, the only difference being Bell's desire to shaft you up the A**.
Anyway, I first went about this by using the LG Flash tool to flash the D852g .tot onto the phone using download mode, however, that failed. It said "Hardware Mismatch error" in the LG flash tool.
Then, I went about trying to flash the original D852 .tot, but with Android 4 or 5 instead of MM. Same Issue- Hardware Mismatch error.
So i resorted to downloading Kingroot, which achieved temporary root, and flashing TWRP.
This works, untill I try to boot into TWRP recovery. (This issue is present with both 3.0 and 2.8) When I reboot, it says signature check fail, or something of the sorts, and the phone screen goes blank, and i'm left with warning flashing lights.
HOWEVER, if I restart the phone, it boots normally.
How can I flash TWRP so I can get a custom rom, or just a D852g stock rom on here so I can utilize the addidional basebands and NOT have to buy a new phone on tab from one of Canada's draconian phone companies?
Is this even possible?
You cannot flash a ROM for a different model. The d852's hardware is the same as the AT&T D850 model but flashing a d850 ROM will brick the phone. I'm surprised your phone even boots for most people flashing the wrong model hardbricks there phone. Also what carrier are you trying to switch too?
And the d852g has almost no ROM support anyway.

I am trying to switch to WIND. I thought that I could flash a normal d852 rom, with an older version of android using download mode, and then just add in the radio baseband packages so it actually works with their network. But it won't let me flash a normal d852 rom either, it always boots into android 6.0 mm.

On the D852G you can flash any D852 rom (I'm doing it right now with fulmics and I've done it with nearly every rom available here on xda)

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!

I have a lg g4 h812 and its unlock and on T-mobile now. Since it looks like the h811 and h812 have same hardware could I flash h811 firmware onto my h812?
you could always try to flash the first revision of the 811 firmware that is below 10H, i've tried on mine and got me into HardBrick. Got repaired for free.

What version did you flash that caused the hardbrick?
From my understanding you should never cross flash models. Some g4 varients could be differ. But rule of thumb never do it unless confirmed to work
I've successfully flash a 815 & 818 into my 812, but we have to reflash the modem file of the 812 original firmware to be able to obtain network (wifi work but quite laggy).
The 81110H is the firmware that i've tried to install (Phone wont reboot after upgrade and show off like 9008 device) . i don't know if we could modify a kdz for being able to inject directly the modem of the 812 into 815 rom...
Yes you can
I've made this tutorial but you have to change some thinks to use in your variant
PS: you will get some problems with your modem (dont work)
If you found how to get working

With the 812 we can't directly flash a 811, without causing a hardbrick. I was only wondering if i could flash a 810 successfully a 811 wont be a problem

But you have to flash first with lg flash tool 2014 (flash others kdz without problem)
And then with LG UP

Hello friend,
I am also thinking of flashing H815(international) rom onto my H812(Canadian) hardware. If you don't mind, could you please tell me how did the phone function with the H815 firmware?
Thank you very much. Your help is greatly appreciated.

you cannot use it for daily usage, the mobile network doesn't work and the phone will randomly reboot sometimes.

Ok thanks, I'm asking because I'm going on a long trip to UK and the Middle East for 6 or 7 months , and thought flashing the H815 firmware would make it compatible with those networks and therefore a free solution, rather than paying to have it unlocked.
Thanks

So by default, H812 has a locked bootloader. But despite this, the flashing of H815 firmware still worked?
If you read carefully all posts in most of the cited "how-to's" ...
If you read carefully all posts in most of the cited "how-to's" that have been linked in the responses you've gotten to date ... you will note that many problems are encountered, ranging anywhere from hard bricks down. Simply not worth the risk, IMO as there is not a high enough probability that you can get back to what you had originally that was working in the first place.
