[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] New delivery, LG-D855V?

Hi all,
I just receieved my new LG G3 from Vodafone Australia. It's currently charging but upon inspection it has a model number which I hadn't noticed when I was researching the phone (LG-D855V).
I've attached pictures of the box, manual screens from the phone referencing the model number. Does anybody know what the difference is etc?

I'd say the V is just for Vodafone. You should DEFINITELY get to flashing a newer rom or doing an OTA update asap. That's the base rom for the phone, v10a. The latest 4.4.2 version is V10L I think. Alternatively, you can go to Android L. There's a dedicated LG G3 Australian Owners thread in the general section if you need help from any of us

Ah makes sense I guess. I've checked the hardware and it all seems identical to the D855. I came from a Nexus 5 with L and I'm already missing it so I'll definitely be looking to get an L rom on there.
Will take a look at the thread and do some reading. Thanks for your input.

did you get a gift?
optus is just d855; free wireless charger
telstra is d855k; free g watch

[Q] I have UK G3, but EU Rom, Advice?

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

Android 6 update on unlocked O2 H815?

I've an H815, unlocked and both hardware and software unbranded, but I believe its an O2 handset (V10e-234-10, if that helps). I also have the bootloader unlocked. I've seen an Android 6 update is available for certain UK and European handsets and I'm just wondering if this handset is suitable for update? The update center and LG Bridge both say that the phone is up to date.
Is there a marshmallow update available for my handset version?

Thanks for that CraigHardy. I've a little project for today now.

O2 are really dragging their heels with this. We're now 4 / 5 versions into Marshmallow and still no sign of it for O2-UK.
Mine is the same handset, I flashed the V20D firmware linked in the Android Development forum, but it threw a message on every reboot saying the version wasn't matched. I'm currently using the V20E (Orange Romania?) ROM and it's absolutely fine (bar the carrier name in the notification area).

So you reckon using V20E is the natural progressor to V10E then? It would make sense. As I said, ther is no branding on the phone except, and I just found this out this morning, the stock web browser defaults to the O2 UK mobile website. I normally use Firefox or Chrome and I don't know why the browser opened at all

V20E installed and working great. But I'm not seeing much difference between marshmallow and lollipop. Cheers guys.

Same as me, I'm on an o2 unlocked G4.
I have been running euro v20d and cm13 with no problems.

Funny enough my o2 branded g4 prompted me to download the V20d-234-10 update today.

Cannot get system upgrade for G710ULM

I got my new unlocked G7 from ebay. I cannot get any over-the-air software update. I am using it in T-Mobile have no problem of using wi-fi calling, and HD calling.
Its software version is still G710ULM11g, Security patch level is Nov 1, 2018.
The Hardware info: Model number: LM-G710ULM, but the S/N displays nothing in it.
Any suggestion how to upgrade the software?

You need to upgrade manually.your phone most likely was sprint and the seller flashed with ulm software thats why you cannot update ota.
Use this procedure on this thead

No S/N, Its a cross flashed variant. Flash manually. But if you wanna fix S/N you have to send it to LG authorized service center:fingers-crossed:

Like the others have said, more than likely it was a Sprint phone (g710PM) flashed to a g710ULM. Go to IMEIPro or a similar IMEI checking site, enter your IMEI, and most likely it'll say g710PM. Literally just went thru this 2 days ago with a phone from Ebay, but I'm sending the phone back. Seller never disclosed it and I don't want to bother with some of the potential issues/shortcomings. Like they also said, you should be able to flash other roms on it, but be aware that future over the air updates are not going to happen, and others have had varying levels of success with getting Google Pay to work on the phone. This might be no big deal, but just putting it out there. Good luck dude.

I am in the same boat as yours, got it from ebay said new ULM, it even has sticker with ULM marked on it. But now I checked, it is g710PM. Too bad its too late to return. Next time, I won't buy phone unlock in ebay.

Hi,
I also bought one of the PM to ULM crossflashed phones from eBay.
I managed to flash newest ULM firmware, but still have the missing S/N issue and the phone is not passing Safetynet CTS check. So I can‘t install Netflix on the phone.
Has anybody a solution to fix theses Issues? Manual flashing instead of OTA is no problem, but Safetynet sucks.

I tried my IMEI its not in the DB 8(

I searched several different imei sites and didn't gain any success. The ulm I got was straight from a reputable distributor(sealed in box) as a carrier unlocked phone. I'm wanting to get back in to development after about 10 years hiatus.
I have however enabled "OEM unlock" in developer settings on the phone, so that's at least a good step forward.

Well---I went back to 20f because of WiFi calling. I had flashed the Canadian 30d (AWM)--worked very well everywhere but no WiFi calling. I live where there is little to no signal, so........
I would be interested if the EU rom has that......

did anyone ever figure out how these sellers have ‘new in box’ sealed box g7’s that have 710ULm barcode on the box and all
But are sprint g7 variants
Is this something lg did as a refurb type tactic themself and sent them out
Like sprint overstock and they dumped em off to resellers ....
