Hello, I'm the owner of the H815L (official Israely version) variant for about a month. The only differences that I have noticed between the H815 and the H815L are the bootloader and some minor change in the LTE network (for the IL network). But basically I infer that they are the same in hardware and software (expt the things bellow). So my question is to know the differences between those two variants because I would like to install TWRP on it and also CM 12.1 and maybe some custom kernel. So I thought that if there's not much difference between those two models maybe I could install on my device those versions for the H815 (because there won't be much support for this model).
Can you help me with this and tell me the differences and if could do the actions that available for the international version?
Thanks
No difference
I think we cannot unlock bootloader no metter which soft we use
And this is horrible
But no one tries to unlock it?
But No one tries to unlock the h815(letter) bootloader, it seems to me too much weird that even the at&t Verizon T-Mobile have no bootloader unlock avaible and it passed a lot since the G4 became available

I've got an H815AR (distributed in argentina - carrier name is "Personal") and was wondering whether this model (with the "AR") is actually the same as or at least compatible with H815 (international EU model) firmware, tweaks, root and bootloader unlock methods, etc. posted around the forums.
It's got a working FM radio and software version (in settings/about phone/software) says "v10A-722-34".
Thanks in advance!

So, did you find the answer?
no its not it has locked bootloader.
Hi,
i'm from italy and i'm interested in G4 european model H815.
I read a lot in the forum, but i really have some doubts yet. Hope someone can clarify them.
- First, is touchscreen problem really and definitively fixed? In which fw version it was fixed? What is latest european fw version?
- Is it safe unlock bootloader? We could have warranty problem doing it?
- It would be my first LG device, so maybe this is a newbie question, but what "kdz" and "tot" stands for?
- Aside touchscreen problem (fixed?) and led problem (fixed?), which other problems i could expect with this device?
- Finally, is there already a custom rom that is better (in performance, fixes etc.) than orginal's one?
Thanks for anyone help me to understand.
I'd actually like the answer to these questions as well, being a Samsung fanboy, this is my first LG device.
I never have any problem with touchscreen.
There's official bootloader unlock directly from LG for h815 but it will void your warranty.
kdz and tot refer to factory image
Volume over earphone is pretty low. Can be remedied with viper4android.
I'd just get root with low effort root method and xposed running. There's rumor that unofficial bootloader unlock is possible only with original firmware (which will be lost once u receive ota and can't be restored).
Unofficial bootloader unlock is still a rumor
hi, i have the H815 European model too, also my wife
We never have any problem with the Touchscreen
From what i have read, if you unlock the BL via LG any Hardware defect is full covered by the warranty
but i think they can refuse a soft-bricked phone if they would (but i know LG as really cooperative for such problems)
you mean kdz - this is the LG Format for fimware releases, tot also but not oficially LG i think
i never needed or used tot files.
We have no problems with this phone here. this means not that there is no problem
There are custom rom's (and one or two kernel's) but Stock is faster for now (android M)
the 7 HD Rom is a stock based custom Rom wgich performs really good and delivers
a all in one soloution for the most people i think.

Thanks for answers, all clear.
But about touch problem i understand you didin't have it, but i would know if people having it have the problem now really fixed. Or it was only placebo effect for the last updates...
I bought the G6(US997) from B&H,this version can unlock bootloader and get root,I found the G7 on B&H,but I can't confirm whether this version of the G7 can be unlocked bootloader.Please help to confirm.

Except in this case the EM version is the only one aside Italian TIM version which can currently be unlocked.
You don't have to take our word for it, check supported devices and see for yourself.

EM version is not international, it's European market version. It's available only for European markets so it's understood that it can be unlocked, each and every LG model in Europe were able to unlock up from G4
International are those versions which are selling outside of USA and European markets, namely for Africa+ AME, CIS, SEA, Latin AM
the Latin g5 840 doesn't even have the same 820 chip it's the 652 I guess jcadduono was wrong to when he made the International version twrp for 850 I included a pic so we can start working together on root also nimax rom we worked hard and had to drop the international version because ceaser or I had the International version we went to 20m 2 updates
Hi,
I have a great opportunity to buy G7 at low price, but the model is G710ULM. I hear that this is UNLOCKED model. My questions:
1. Can it be rooted?
2. Can TWRP be flashed?
For 2. I do not care much, but I absolutely need 1. so that I can remove bloatware.

Unfortunately you can't root the g710ulm model. Maybe by unlocked they mean that it's sim unlocked.

Not yet, it's only sim unlocked not bootloader unlocked.
Btw, how likely is that the root will be available in the following months (either by an exploit or by unlocking the bootloader)?

LG ,if you are reading this, this is not fair that the previous LG flagship i.e LG G6 (LM-US997) had botloader unlock from LG itself. Why is the devices after the USA unlocked LG G6 do not have bootloader unlock? Starts from LG V30 to current LG V40 all the US unlocked really did not get support from LG? Why did they stop after LG G6? Why special status only EU variants to current models? LG, your devices are great, but if you want higher sales, just do not be region specific, bootloader unlock in all variants even on dual SIMs, it's 2019 now, put either 90, 120 or 144Hz best screens from LG DISPLAY. We don't want to feel that LG UI UX is heavy if you put high refresh rates displays that make the use of high end SOCs, just listen to your customers. Then definitely LG UX will be the best.
Well this sucks... I also have this model and would have loved LineageOS

You are reading old information, see this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/how-to/how-to-bootloader-unlock-g7-thinq-t-t3963568
You can cross flash with(patched LG Up (https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/guide-patch-lgup-to-unlock-features-t3652222) Europian variant and proceed (own risk).
I have flashed my Verizon unlocked version (ADB won't work) with US version and enabled ADB, FM radio etc.
Hi, it is possible and safe to change the firmware of LG g8s g810ea to g810eaw? I thought about flashing new firmware with LG up.

I know nothing about the G8s, never owned one, but generally speaking, pretty sure changing the firmware is much the same as the G8. There are some no no's, like if you have dual sim to single sim, or vice versa, but you don't say anything about the firmware you're referring to... it might help to know why you want to change, iow, what are you trying to accomplish?
But more than likely, it shouldn't be a problem. I'd suggest first to ask on the tele group for the v50 / G8 devices, they are more international experience there and will be more certain. Cheers
Thank you for a quick answer. My LG G8s is a g810ea version. I won’t to flash g810eaw firmware because the are fresher builds. Newest build for eaw is 30c from 7/2022, when ea 30a is from 12/2021. Also LG Germany declared Android 12 update. Morover I couldn’t find setting for VoWifi and Volte. All firmwares are meant for LG G8s, which is available in 3 versions g810ea, g810eaw and g810ra.

From what I can see on the firmware pages, should be okay. Always keep in mind that ea individual rom has certain bands enabled, so be sure the bands it has will meet your needs.
Also, vowifi and volte are dependent on your carrier, not just the phone. The G8s is capable of both, but if your carrier doesn't allow them then there's no way to make the work. And, some carriers (like US at&t), only allow it to work on their phones - or at least that was the case at one time.
It's always best to flash an 'open' version Rom, if there's one available with the bands you need, and your carrier allows a phone on their network that isn't running their specific rom (usually an mvno type carrier is best).
cheers
