[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
to clear confusion - you can flash d855 roms, the letter v doesnt matter. it confused me when i got mine lol.
DO NOT UPDATE IF YOU WANT TO ROOT!

Need more information. Are you for example still running the stock rom that came with your phone(plus OTA updates).... Or have you rooted and installed TWRP and a custom ROM etc?

This is the wrong section, but you need to do *#06# to get your IMEI, and enter that number to the end of this link: http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=
It'll tell you which is the latest firmware for your phone.

Yes that is lollipop. It depends on what carrier you're on, which appears to be O2, and it doesn't look like it's getting it yet.

Any way to unlock bootloader for H815 (TWN)

Hey guys,
when trying to unlock the bootloader the official way, I get the error message
"Unfortunately, your device(Taiwan , (TAIWAN) )does not support unlocking the bootloader."
LG support has not responded yet, but the message indicates what their answer will be.
Is there any way to get the bootloader unlocked other than having LG send the unlock code?
I found several threads all over the internet with people describing the same problem, but no solution was posted. Since all those threads are from mid-2015, I was wondering if anyone found a solution by now.

If you find a solution , please let me know .

( "Unfortunately, your device(Taiwan , (TAIWAN) )does not support unlocking the bootloader." )
its clear enough to me... you cant.
and theres no other way.. yet... maybe one day it will.. unofficially.

I asked this a month ago with no luck.
There hasn't been any real progress on having an unofficial bootloader unlock since august/september of 2015.....
It's almost a year since anyone has really talked about it. I don't think it's ever gonna happen :/

I asked the LG developer support. All they replied so far was that by company policy, they do not allow models other than "European market" to be unlocked at the moment.
I answered that I am not satisfied with this "policy" and that I'd like a reason for them to block customers from their freedom of choice what to do with their devices. No answer yet - will post here when I get one.

Is there any way to at least gain root access on these phones? Mine is running software version "V20c-TWN-XX", which is Android 6.0 with security patch level 2016-01-01.

LP yes. but i seen 2 different post claiming root on MM with locked bootloader.

It's easiest to just downgrade to Lollipop via LGUP. Though it still took me a while to find the right pre-rooted image to flash on my phone.

I just completed the process of using LGUP to rollback to Lollipop v10c, and then rooted it. Surprisingly I was even able to get Xposed framework installed with the bootloader locked. I guess the only thing I'm really missing is TWRP, but I can live without it.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

not so sure ... but LG has removed the team the worked on past phones and eithe has a new team or will be not making any more phones. .... g5 sales arent too good...

I've the H815 V20d-TWN-XX 6.0 MM with sec. patch level 2016-06-01, and as I've read, no way to unlock bootloader for this model, so frustrating.
I was hoping at least to find a way to have this particular G4 version rooted with the bootloader locked, does anyone know how can this be done?
Been looking for a solution but haven't found anything so far, I'd just flash a previous version but some people wrote in other threads that this 20d has noticeable battery improvements...
So any help with, as for now, the best way to go to get root access in this device, is very much appreciated. I've been trying to do this for weeks
Thanks!

I am assuming with the boot loader locked, there is no way to try out any of the custom ROMs here ....what a shame as I wanted to give lineage a go

There may be an unofficial way.

Read the OP carefully and be fully aware of the risks and limitations. steadfasterX is working hard to overcome the locked bootloader situation and has had some success to-date using his own version of Lineage with testers.

Not at the moment no, honestly probably not for a bit. Everybody's at the idea stage right now basically this may work but then again it might not but if it does then there's other obstacles in the way

No I'm aware the model numbers don't match up trust me if you search around the forums there's a thread that has this exact thing. Some guy thought that there was an official unlock for the T-Mobile variant but it turned out to be TIM mobile

People have tried it doesn't work, T-Mobile has different RSA Encryption Keys and fastboot is non existent. Everybody is trying to figure out a way to flash the European Rom to unlock the bootloader root and go back you just have to read around the forums

LG G8 G820UM update outside USA

Hi everyone, I want to order myself a LG G8 (G820UM) on AliExpress, the seller says that it is highly likely to be an AT&T version. So I'm in a very big doubt, if I will be able to get any software/firmware updates without AT&T SIM and network (I'm in Europe)...
I don't say about crossflashing, I need just to be sure if this phone will get Android 10. Soon or later, doesn't really matter.
Maybe it's better to take G7+ G710EAW, which is also great, and not bother myself so much?

You should... I got a second hand unlocked lg820um here in Honduras (Central America) and I've been getting regular updates (basically security updates) just fine

Hi,
No, unfortunately you will not be able to receive OTA updates from AT&T without having registered and active SIM card on AT&T network...
I have an AT&T LG G8 (G820UM1), I am outside of USA and cannot receive OTA updates even with AT&T SIM card in my phone.

Hi! That's cool!
Now... About updates I have no idea bud, I forced android 10 on mine with a beta ROM and now I'm stuck with it without any new future updates but mine came from Sprint, maybe you should google the final ROM for AT&T and try to force it yourself, believe me, it's worth it!
