Hi all
Ide like some advice..
I bought my G£ (D855 International) in Carphone Warehouse, which means its factory unlocked. I updated it to the latest 5.0 (20h) OTA.
When I go into About Phone > Software. Ive noticed that my G3 is running V20h-EUR-XX, yet Ive noticed that, in the stock rom thread on here there is a 20h UK rom.
Im just curious to know why my G3 installed the EUR rom not the UK, also Ive noticed that the word "alleh G" isnt anywhere on my device. I realise there are different models and patents change depending on countries and territories, but could i install the UK rom or should i stick to EUR.
Any Info would be nice.. Thanks
EUR and UK rom are the same. Even if you flashed the v20h UK rom it will still say v20H-EUR-XX
Alleh G is the Korean edition with the 3GB ram

Many Thanks for solving my curiosity ... Interesting. about UK rom, So I take it then the 20h UK, matches the EUR device...
I remember from my Sammy days and ODIN that In situations like this, Its usually the Radios that differ.. Oh well, saved me a flash and restore..
Radios only differ between continents and even then if you flashed a firmware from somewhere say Taiwan it would still work normally on your phone. But as to the stabling of it I don't know. I flashed a Taiwan firmware on my Australian G3 and I found that performance and battery life were significantly worse

Hello all, I have a question. I would like your opinion. I want to return my G3 to LG Official stock with OTA working etc, just like it was when I first bought it. So I'm looking to flash the proper and right kdz, but I came across a "problem" .
I have the International 16GB D855. The sticker on the box says that it's " 6SW(Switzerland) " , but when I'm searching on http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php the firmware based on my IMEI, it says that the firmware is 6ES ( Spain ).
So what firmware am I supposed to really flash? Is the IMEI one the right one since it searches the phone on LG's Servers?
But then again , the 6SW version hasn't gotten Lollipop update yet, the latest 6SW firmware is version V10L, while my G3 got the Lollipop OTA version V20F before I downgraded it, root and flashed it custom Firmware.
What is your opinion? Sorry for the long post and thank you very much.

You can flash any compatible EURO rom on to your device, like the latest German D855 rom ending with 20H. Link https://mega.co.nz/#!AMoUjCQY!llgH-KlTB4J0paynnnGpIq0ANCAEtXjmUvpx8G8ApQM and flash with LG Flash Tool.
BTW: did you backup your EFS folder?
Hi guys,
I'm going nuts soon...
This is my first LG device and I'd like to get it back to stock on Vodafone. Yes, I know - I should read and I DID.
What I would like to achieve is the full shebang with all the Voda bloatware and bootimage.
I looking for this for 5 hours now and done 3 full flashes but all of them turns out to be international roms which works fine but missing all the aforementioned stuff...
I have tried these from different xda and other threads:
UK Vodafone 16G D85510A_00 from storagecow.eu
D85520h_00.kdz from csmgdl.lgmobile.com
D85520T_00.kdz (with A6VFKG suffix) from devtester.ro
Could anybody provide me a link please to a UK Vodafone fully branded ROM for D855 please?!? :crying:
Thanks a lot!
BTW I don't care about which version it is - could be Lollipop or Kit-Kat!
It could be even Cupcake
Anybody?
desperately need it as I have to send the phone back for repair
Have you tried to use the official lg mobile tool?
Just select UK as country as Vodafone d855 as model

Thanks for the reply.
Yeah, I did and I downloaded the ROM as well but NONE of them has all the bloatware & boot animation
Anyway I gave it up and will send it back with the 20t ROM from LG site.
I have it if somebody interested as LG sent back the phone with that sh*t flashed on it
Hi Guys
I'm completely confused.
I'm on a H815 in the UK. My phone is an O2-UK branded handset and my latest branded software version is H81510E_00 (v10e). I'm currently using the EU open unbranded firmware which works absolutely fine.
However - around the forums I'm seeing versions V10F, G, H etc so now I'm completely confused.
What is the latest software version available for EU handsets? Is it E? Why are some people saying that D is the latest, or they're installing E but it's showing as version D.
What's the definitive answer as of today - 22nd September? Can we keep a stickied post at the top of the forum simply stating which official software version is the latest for which handsets?
Cheers
Nick

+1. I have the V10d european open unbranded but I noticed that some other people have a lot of different versions.
I came here to ask the exact same question.
The numbering is just messy. Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62467663&postcount=77
The newest European system is 10E. You might find around 10F but it is only for AU (might be the same as 10D in EU) and 10G/10H again for different regions.
The phone was released with 10A. Then autoprime released a rooted 10B image but called it 10C because 10C was set in build.prop.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/stock-h815-10c-stock-rom-kdz-t3141866
*note*
the original KDZ file was named 10B but build.prop shows 10C... therefore I am going with the 10C name for now.
ro.lge.swversion=H81510c
ro.lge.swversion_short=V10c
ro.lge.swversion_shortdate=V10c_11-JUN-2015
ro.lge.factoryversion=LGH815AT-00-V10c-GLOBAL-COM-JUN-11-2015+0

Since then we have the above confusion. But you are good to go with 10E EUR. Even rooted images are available if you are rooted and twrp-ed.
is there a website which shows releases like samobile for Samsung?

Thanks! Still confusing as hell, but that's made it a bit clearer! Not sure how Apple can ship a world phone (i.e. one hardware version) yet LG/Samsung seem to have 5-10 different hardware revisions for different parts of the world!

Im shocked you don't know

Don't know if I should flash 10h which seems specific to Emirates..
Are there any hardware differences? Can we cross flash HK with Indian firmware?
On Lg firmwares I see that the indian firmware has newer security patches...
Just installed Indian v10p but in software version it says v10p-LAO-Si.
What this LAO-SI means?
Another thing I observe is that this firmware is WAAAAY more snappy than the chinese one! Could the hong kong chinese firmware has some kind of spyware in it? Just cannot beleive how snappy and fluid this firmware is compared to the chinese one !!!!!!!!!
did you manage to anwser this questions??
is everything working ok with this indian firmware? i want to make the flash

Just upgraded a few days back to indian v10t feb 1 updates. Working flawless. Also they enabled usbc to hdmi. ?
I always expect China and rusian firmware to be full of spyware.
As title says which version of phone should i avoid on fleabay as i want to buy this phone. No one seems to answer this specifically :/
thanks
bump
You need european version, so G710EM (64GB) or G710EAW (128GB)
i get that i need the european version but the american handsets will work too and i've been told to avoid the Tmobile version at all costs.
i just needed to now which is the best variant from the american/canadian ones!
cheers
Canadian AWM version. Support more lte band (for UK and Europe) then USA unlocked ULM
thanks siley
only g710EM
now im confused???
Get the 710em that's what I got when I brought mine worked fine
I told him EM or EAW is best for Europe, but he want model from America so Canadian AWM is better.
I got the LM-G710EM version

I think is a crossflashed device. Mine is EM too, but came with open EU rom and it is a TIM device (italian carrier). Amazon things...
U can flash any firmw u want with lg_up 14-15, but with no ota support due to restrictions. U can always search ur region with ur imei in internet after a simple search on google, but if the device is from carrier... I recommend u a clean open eu kdz over any carrier firmware.
