i need answer to this one too, kindly those know spare a minute and tell us, i have a feeling by few comments, we can, but want to be sure by some expert people out here.
also because my h815t only has 10c update, we are missing out of other more recent updates.
so, the question is: can you flash, maybe H815 kdz to your H815T? yes, you probably can, but due to some regional differences, i bet the signal reception or mobile network would have bugs. or, your phone might just go bootloop. CMIIW.
you might face the wifi /antenna error when you flash incorrect region! Been through this with htc sensation..

Hi all,
Not often that i need to post a new thread but I am very confused and can't find an answer by searching.
My LG G4 says it is the model LG-815P but don't know which that is and where I should be looking for stuff. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

815 are "international" version. Yours specifically I could not say. This is the spec sheet from PDADB for that model, but according to that it has a link to Telcel. Telcel is Mexico..

Thank you for the info, it's weird to think that it's Mexico as I am in South Africa. Will have to see once we have root etc what I will need to do and use but thanks for the info. Been weird as my G2 was the D802 international variant. But now I can't find much about the 815P model.

LG-815P is for LATAM, South Africa versions, check it out here: http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_g4-6901.php
What parts are you looking for 815P, at most of times, parts of different variants in the same model are interchangeable, except for frame, housing and loudspeaker assembly.

Hi xymay,
I've also got a H815P (also from South Africa).
Do you know - Is it OK to use any H815 Rom on this phone?

I have the version for Mexico and no, you need a ROM for H815P.
The root system can be flashed over any 815 version.

Thank-you Pakitos.
I just want to ask to be sure that I understand you.
Are you saying 2 things.
One is that I must find a ROM for H815P.
The other is that I can use any H815's system inage on my phone.
Thanks,
Hotfingers

Yes there are 2 different things.
1) For the H815P you MUST flash a H815P ROM in order to not brick it. If you flash a H815N, H815TR, etc... your phone will be in an infinite boot loop best case scenario. Not really sure what happens if you flash a different ROM. It may not even boot.
2) When you root, you need to flash a system image that has root injected. Basically a hacked official ROM with the root installed on it. This system image works for every H815 version, so you dont have to worry about which variant you are on as long as it says H815 and matches your current ROM version.
Hope I made myself clear. If not, feel free to ask :fingers-crossed:
I thought 815p was pacific or puerto rico
Hi all,
So I have a H815-EUR International LG G4 (V10e-EUR-XX) and when I do an IMEI check (http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=IMEI) the suffix comes back as ANLDLD. (NLD as in Netherlands even though I bought it in a store in Belgium, but that doesn't matter)
I know I can flash other H815 International KDZ files without much issues.
So if I were to flash the ADEULD one, it won't cause any issue...I know that.
But what exactly is the function of these different suffixes for europe?
If I flash the german one, will my modem be different? Maybe reception won't be as good?
If LG uses the suffix to time the roll-outs of OTA updates, will my OTA's be timed with the german ones and not the Belgian/Dutch ones?
Will it have an impact on my warrenty? (Maybe they won't accept my claim in Belgium because it has german software?)
Will the software be exactly the same between the ADEULD and the ANLDLD versions?
Please enlighten me
Thanks

Mine is LG G7+ G710EAW from HongKong. In the box it has a paper written about region lock that takes 30 minute local call to unlock. I don't live in HongKong, so I assumed the shop I bought did all this for me.
I want to flash a new firmware to another region and perhaps re-flash back to the original one. Will region lock come back (or even worse, the new firmware has it too)?
I tried it myself today. The answer is no. It will not come back.
Did you experience the region lock limitation or just saw a notice about it?

Can you share or point to how to flash a firmware from another region? Thanks

My G7+ was region locked to China, Hongkong, and Macau area. It had been unlocked properly by calling using a regional sim card, Now I don't live in the country of purchase anymore (Hongkong).
I was afraid if there should be something that would trigger the region lock again. However, after hard resetting and flashing another firmware, seems that region lock once unlocked properly will be unlocked forever regardless of whatever you do with the phone.

When cross region, just use the same model number (mine is G710EAW ), whichever region is OK. Hongkong firmware on my G7+ does not support VoLTE and LTE-U in my country so I flash Indonesia firmware to enable them.
You can find all G7/G7+ firmwares on all variants on the internet easily, just use LGUP, .dll file for your device, and USB driver to flash the firmware you want.
Thx for your information.
Even if there was a chance that it is not permanently region-unlocked, you could always just order the unlock code from one of the many online unlocking services...they basically just get the unlock code for you from the manufacturer. Then you could just keep the code handy, in case you ever needed it...
I paid like $14.00 for the unlock code for my black UK/EU Region LG G7 (G710EM) when the U.K. seller that I bought it from mistakenly shipped it to me in the U.S. without first making the local region 30-minute phone call...but it was cool being the first one to actually unseal the box, and it took less than a day for the online unlocking service to send me the code after I ordered it.
I just bought another one from the same UK seller (in platinum grey), and this time I actually requested that they send it to me still sealed (and still region locked)...I will just order the unlock code like the last time. All good!
Good luck, in any case!
Cheers,

Similar to the thread, I'm using LM-G710N which is the korean variant. I guess the store did unlock for me so if I flash other region or international fw, will I be able to take advantage of these variants' dual sim ? Since my dad has a korean samsung s8 single sim which now converted to use it with dual sim.

thanks

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.
Is there any way to convert my Korean (KT) LG Wing to EUR firmware? I really can't stand all the bloatware the KT version has. I tried some quides but no luck
I'd be interested in learning how to do this too
Hi,
Did anyone get any success in changing the rom to EUR?
Hi,
I have a LG WING LM-F100EMW , Indian variant. I have been tracking the software updates of the phone and found out that, there have been atleat 4 updates in other countries like in Germany, Poland, Spain, each having the same model no, just different regions, and here in India we have received only 2 updates.
I had been searching several forums and have been trying to install other region firmware on my LG wing, but have been unsuccessful.
I had been using LGUP software 1.16 with LGUP_common.dll 2.1 .
The error which I am getting is , UNABLE TO CHANGE REGION FROM COM55_EU5 TO COM5_EU1
I have searched through other forums and have not been able to find anything.
If someone have the idea, how this can be avoided and I am able to install other region firmware on the phone, as i have read at many places that you can install other region firmwares till the model no is same.
hi,
it would be intresting if anyone can share the guide to change from Korean firmware to EU
Hi everyone, someone find solution ?
you would use LG Up for this. Korean models should be flashable, but be careful. This is how I bricked my LG Wing
Thanks for your answer, but i tried and i get message says impossible to do it. It's stop automatically. I have others option, I'm scared to brick the phone. Is it irreversible ?
