I am planing to buy LG G4 and here in Israel there are 2 models. LG-H815L and LG-H815, the LG-H815 model is cheaper and doesnt come with second battery and charger for the battery. I dont know whats the diference between the 2 models. The sell person told me that the LG-H815 is unnoficial and doesnt have FOTA and will not receive updates from LG. I asm new to this and I even dont know what is FOTA. Can someone please explain me the diference between these 2 models.
Thank you.
Hi,
The L model comes with a 2 years warranty from Ronlight (which is the official distributor of LG smartphones in Israel) plus all the accessories you mentioned , it also comes with Hebrew language enabled and FOTA updates which won't remove Hebrew. There is no difference in the hardware of the 2 models.
With this in mind the European model has the advantage of an official boot unlock available which the L model currently does not offer. If you are not interested in unlocking the bootloader right now I think the L model is a better choice.
Thank you very much for explaining. I will do as you suggested. For now I dont need to unlock the bootloader. In the future probably will have official boot unlock.

Really need help chosing, I am looking at the 815 and the 811 along with US991.
Any help would be great.
Or if you had a phone suggestion below $350 that would be comparable or better please share.

So you would suggest the 815 then.
the h815 from the specific countries on that list are the only ones with unlockable bootloaders. if you buy an h815 from a region not on that list you cannot unlock it and thus cant have twrp, custom roms, etc
The H815 or international version is the best choice ...LG is giving u the files to unlock ur bootloader ...theres are many roms out there u can flash and try ....And I m talking from personal experience i have a H815 and i have already flash 3 different roms and i have unlock my bootloader and didnt encounter any problems at all ....A friend of mine bought another h815 and encounter a bootloop after a official software update but after a factory reset all was working good ....i live in europe ....

id say go with h811... if you unlock bootloader you warranty is over... if you buy international if something happens you must send back phone for repair...to what ever country you get it from according to the list that can be unlocked... not sure if you buy in the states the h815 comes with no warranty. either..
Hey everyone , i last bought a G3 but then saw that G4 in my area dropped its price to under 350$ which is currently my budget , but its a Dual sim variant , single sim is now out of stock in my country and i really want to buy one , so i was wondering , IF
I CAN INSTALL H815 ROMS ON H818 or Its Variants ? Is It Possible ? Will Atleast One Sim Work On it ?
What's wrong with this dual SIM phone ? Why would you flash a mono SIM firmware into it ?
Being dual SIM doesn't mean you have to put 2 SIMs to make it work.
BTW, you can't flash ROM because bootloader is locked.

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
I know the EM can be rooted, but is someone working on a bootloader unlock for the other G7 models?
I got in touch with TMobile to see if their version would be bootloader unlockable. They gave me the run around, told me to contact LG who hasn't responded. One thing I did manage to get out of TMobile was a firm denial that they requested the device remain locked its likely apathy on the part of LG holding us back at this point. ?I haven't dug into mine yet because I have more interesting unlocked devices to work on
Giving that the only European models can be unlocked most likely not but maybe a bug in the future.
Have saw a AWM model which flash to EM model and get its bootloader unlocked on a second hand trading website in China. The seller said he flash the EM firmware and change the IMEI in order to unlock his phone "officially"
I'm eagerly waiting for the US unlocked G710ULM. If this variant is unlocked, why didn't LG unlocked bootloader?, it's been almost 4 months of no news from LG. .Why giving special status to unlocked European models , since LG V30? If that's the case then LG G6 US997 could be the last US model enjoying root?

As title says which version of phone should i avoid on fleabay as i want to buy this phone. No one seems to answer this specifically :/
thanks
bump
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.
