I know there are multiple H815 models, The EU version being the only unlockable one right now.
My questions are;
1) what are all the H815 model numbers, and if the models numbers are not different for different locals, how to tell them apart?
2)What accessories come default in each local package? (I know some come with 2 back plates, some with headphones, some with mail in offers)
I would like to purchase a H815 EU model, but as of now I have no real way to tell if what I will be purchasing will be what I actually want until I try to unlock it.
*EDIT* I know this could be in Q&A but when this is answered, I would like to be able to edit this into an informative post to help others.
My h815 is from Taiwan. I know this because that's where it shipped from. Plus on the box it says h815 TW. But no where n the phone does it say TW. So the only way to know as far as I know is the box. Mine came with one set of headphones, one back, and us/TW charger for what it's worth
IMEI test to show suffix

One way to tell apart differences between phones within the LGH815 model category seems to be to identify the suffix of the individual phone.
See post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61159318&postcount=68 for test of IMEI of phone that reveals the suffix particular to that phone.

Hello Guys,
I went back to my Nexus 5 from an AT&T LG G3. I didn't know about about the PMA (I have QI chargers everywhere), and I wasn't sure about the Snapdragon 801 when there's a version with the 805.
So, I'm thinking about getting the latest korean version with 32GB, 3GB, 805 and QI-compatible hardware, but I'm confused with the models. What is the latest, and which one works with AT&T's LTE network? Tried searching, but everybody talks about a different model.
Also, what's the best place to order it? Do you guys recommend it? Or should I wait to see the Nexus 5/6 2014?
(G3 sub forum.. I believe you like it, but I expect honest opinions)
Thank you guys in advance!

I have the F460S (G3 with the SD805) and it works on Att. I believe that all of the Korean ones have the same bands if I recall correctly. I like my Korean one more than my Att D850. It doesn't work as hard or get as hot as the Att one which is good. There are some OPs discussing the F460 if you look in this forum. You have to get the quick circle case for the cat 6 model to get the qi (just remove the sticker and put it in your back cover). I'm glad that I got the F460 its a great phone.

Awesome! So F460S works on AT&T. F460 is the F460S or they're different models?
Also, does it come with much bloat? Where did you get?
Thanks
What about this one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-G3-Cat6-...60764?pt=Cell_Phones&var=&hash=item33948add9c
It's the cheapest listing on eBay.. The seller says that LTE may not work in the US, but for AT&T it should, right?
Thanks

All Korean models have the same bands from what I remember. The S is SKT (South Korea Telecom) and it has a ton of bloat. Thankfully it's simple to remove 99% of it, only 1 or two things need root to remove. I like the S model because of the logo on the back and that's the only reason that I can think of... The F460 S/K/L should all work on ATT so I wouldn't worry. It was the same way with the F400 S/K/L. I also had a F400S and it was fine on Att.
The only real differences between all of the models are:
Logo on back cover
Pre-installed bloat
Unless I'm forgetting something that should be it. I would double check that of you like. Here is the link discussing the F400 S/K/L variants and bands(460 should be the same)

I'd you have any other questions that you need answered, I will be happy to help the best that I can.

It will definitely work on Att, as for the model I like the S but some people buy the K/L models because they tend to be cheaper.
Why am i seeing different models from T-Mobile i have the H811 what is the difference from mine and they H815. My wife seems to think the leather backed version would be the reason but wanted to ask.

The 815 is the international unlocked version (One is Europe, the other is Asia but same model number). Doesn't have anything to do with leather or not.

Does anyone know about confirmed sellers that are selling European model of LG G4 on eBay (shipped from USA)? I've contacted a few and it seems like almost everyone is selling the Asian version (H815T).
Never-MSRP told me the same thing so I think that they do have Euro version. The only issue is that they I'm in Houston as well so they charge tax so that's why I haven't bought from them.

Anybody ever make any progress on finding a good source for the EUR models?
Only those can be BL unlocked (ATM anyway) right?

Fast, cheap and painless.
There are tons of threads about this exact topic going back to release day, all point to this site.
I and many others purchased from - http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/tfawes26?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2754
Even the black leather one he sells (which is incorrectly listed as a H815T in the specification section) is in-fact the EU H815 model.
The seller is a little slow at posting and quite poor at replying to messages but he is completely legit.

Thanks, doesn't look like he actually has any available for sale at the moment though?
Man I wish LG wasn't such a B about the bootloader situation. Why can't all the 815's be open... Arrgggggg

I also bought one from this company and it was indeed fast cheap and painless, received the phone the very next day. It was an H815 unlocked and I have the unlock.bin, which I received from LGE with no problems, file saved for future use. The phone is now updated with the 10c kdz file and rooted by the method described in another thread in this forum, which was also easy to follow and painless.
I have an CZE H815 but today just freezes, I turned off and never turned on again, I never had falls the phone to the floor, just take care the phone like jewel and now never turns on again, the phone has in warranty yet but only in Czech Republic, don't know if someone want a cheap phone to use in warranty due LG doesn't offer international warranty.
Hi,
I want to buy an HTC 10 through eBay or Amazon to save money. I don't want an international version because I understand that it can't use AT&T or Cricket LTE networks. The eBay and Amazon ads hardly ever say whether the phone for sale is a U.S. version or international version. Can anyone tell me how to identify the U.S. version of the phone, whether by UPC, model number or whatever?
Thanks

You might be able to find out from htc using the info you mentioned. They have a live chat, you could find out in a couple mins.

Get a close up photo of the back. US models in small lettering on the bottom say "Model: 2PS6500" International will say "2PS6200"
You could also ask for the IMEI (you should do this anyway to make sure the phone isn't blacklisted), and check it with ESN Checker which you can find here.
Thank You Both,
That's good advice. I am almost certain I saw one that was the htc2ps6500 version.

Hi everyone,
The screen on my H815P broke. On eBay replacement screens are listed as being for the H815. Will these work? A shop in Luxembourg refused to repair my phone because of the extra "P" in my model number, which I understand means its a model sold in Latam and South Africa (strange because I bought the phone on Amazon.de).
Also, is there a way of knowing if the screen I buy really is a genuine LG screen?
Any help is really appreciated.
I think the main difference is the modem. I'm 99.99% sure that all G4 editions have the same (awesome battery hungry) screen. Also, the only way you can be certain you bought a genuine LG screen is by buying the screen from LG.
Hi. The main difference is the motherboard. H815 (no letter) can be bootloader unlocked and H815P doens´t. The rest is all the same. In case of the screen. I was replace the board from my H815P to H815 (same screen and battery) and works normally and fine.
In order to know if the screen is or not genuine, depends from shoper and rating by customers and other -buy&sell pages- matters.
If you purchase a screen, replace it without warry becausae it will work.

Cheers. I've gone through to the LG spare parts website, which belongs to an outside company and it requires the model number for the screen. How the heck am I supposed to know that?
Anyone know a link to a genuine screen that delivers in Europe? I've been checking out youtube videos and I might attempt this repair myself.

Thanks. If you know of a European supplier, please advise. I tried contacting a supposedly official LG parts supplier out of Portugal that was recommended on one of the threads here on xda but they haven't responded.
