on 10b SEA and want the upgraded EU - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi guys im on SEA singapore 10b, and im seeing a few people who flashed the EU version and upgraded to 10f or 10e. can someone post which varaint exaclty to FLASH? what is alowed? maybe post a link? . im afraid to flash the wrong one and to brick my phone.
also after flashing will i still get OTA updates from that variant?
thanks for helping

My advice
If you are inexperienced, Simply don't flash any coz it isn't worth
I cant test myself because I already have EU variant so whats the point for me?
Otherwise flash an entire EU build if there is SEA stock ROM available to flash back if you mesh up

Yesterday I flashed 10e version I found here, my main goal was to get rid of the missing tapas problem I experienced.
Well I think it's better but not 100 %. I'm thinking now maybe 10f will fix the problem. Searching for a download of eu open

Firmware updates

Using an unbranded 32gb d855 in the UK. Got no ota update from eur 10a so flashed v10f. Now on v10f global.
Questions...
Modem appears to be the same, so don't kdl files include modem/radio's?
What is the best firmware to be on, EUR or global? Does it even matter?
How do I know if firmware is for web d855?
Man, do I need custom recovery, screwed the phone and had to start all over sigh!
Thanks

I'm not sure that everybody agrees with me but I think your original carrier stuff is in data/.OP which is not touched by a kdz flash and I believe that they are all the same.

you download the 10c update for you device (see kdz tread in general) and flash it with THIS
just a suggestion don'tt flash 10c but go with 10E if available for your device(same model number)

I am completely newbe here, could you please also give me the link to find a D855 10E file ?
My model suffix is A6FR (france?) does that mean there is no 10E ?
or should find another country 10E? I am ok taking anything that will work
and after 1.5 hours of digging helplessly would appreciate if you can help me finding the proper 10E (if there is one).
thanks much much !
Thanks !

[Q] How To Flash The Australian Firmware?

Hey guys,
I am wondering if anyone knows how to get a hold of the Australian firmware and flash the 32GB/3GB AU Firmware onto my phone? I imported one from Taiwan but it's currently running the Taiwan firmware. Not sure if there's any difference between the two but I'd feel better if my phone was running an actual Australian firmware that I can update properly, rather than an international firmware that I've had to make look like it's Australian, I'm even a few versions behind for some reason, and sometimes when I reboot it's back to Taiwanese...
My carrier is Telstra AU, I've got the 32GB/3GB Gold version. Not looking to root, running everything stock except the launcher (Using Nova Launcher) and all seems fine. I've installed LG PC Suite, I'm really just looking to backup my current firmware/kdz and flash a new Australian one.
Thanks in advance guys, looking forward to being a part of this epic community!
Hey mate! What's your model number? Is it the D855? It's funny, I imported mine simply because I didn't want the Ausy version of the phone. The only changes from the D855 and the Ausy version (model number which is D855K) is a few reception changes, and I'm not sure if they are hardware or software. I did a quick google, and I found this link, but I'm not sure how trustworthy it is, I'd be wary and scan anything with virus protection before. But here ya go. http://poweredw.gaodi.net/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=667560
There isn't much for us Ausys out there, which is why if you want to have a bit of support from XDA and other places, best stick with the inernational version.
Have a good one mate.

Hey mate,
Yeah, it's the D855, imported from Taiwan. The link you sent me to is a 16GB/2GB ROM, those of which are apparently everywhere, but I can't for the life of me find a 32GB/3GB ROM for us Aussies. I did import the D855 because it's the international one, which should be modded and tinkered with by more people because it's international, rather than just the D855k which only works for us Aussies.
But yeah, if you find a 32GB/3GB ROM for Telstra somewhere, would be MUCH appreciated, sick of my phone going back to Taiwanese every reboot
Thanks man!

LG didnt release the 32GB version in Australia, so you will never find a Telstra firmware for it... or Optus or Voda for that matter.
It shouldnt make any difference anyway as long as it has the same LTE bands, which I think it does.
Try an EU firmware that defaults to English maybe?

i cant honestly tell whether they are 16GB or 32GB, since some of them dont specify. As far as I am aware, if you update to an old UK or EU version (like 10A) you will get an OTA update to 10E pretty soon afterwards.
if you arent sure which one to flash, theres probably someone that is worried about the same thing in the comments of the thread somewhere that had their question answered. i havent read through the whole thing yet so sorry cant help you there.
good luck!

well its a personal web hosting... hosting sites always change for whatever reason. i would get it now while its there, cos who knows whether it will be there tomorrow. dont know whether the owner will keep it up to date regularly, but you can always read the forums to see when new updates come out.
the unbranded EU firmware is a popular one and will probably be one of the most frequently updated, so once you are on that you can probably get the OTAs as they come out too.

[Q] Region code firmware

Hi all,
I have a G3 D855 16gb; european version. I flashed my Phone with the new v10L firmware but by accident I took the global version instead of the v10l-EUR-xx. But even using Flash Tool 2014 trying to get it back to stock firmware, no matter what I try, any firmware will say it's global now on my Phone. I'm sure I downloaded the EUR-KDZ file. Anyone has any idea how this is possible, or how to fix this?
Thank you in advance!
Not sure it matters. I thought it based version suffix on imei number. I flashed international/european but it says SEA.
I really hope so indeed! I just can't find a way to fix it...

[Q] Where is my G3 really from ?

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?

Confused - latest software versions?

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!
