Differences in stock roms?

So I finally got my Z1C, and it is on 1279-6212, which is Taiwan Generic (I think, box has country code ZT). However, there doesn't appear to be any -6212 stock roms uploaded to the forum.
It looks like from reading various threads that it doesn't really matter which region's stock rom you flash, so with that in mind, are there any major differences between the versions? Any particular region's rom that stands out as a good one?

Hello @Kodeen;,
To clear up your doubts, you can flash firmwares from all regions on your device, like Nordic or DE.
There are no major differences, maybe the amount of applications and updates Schedule but that's usually it. The versions with less bloat is the generic versions.
Hope it cleared up any doubts,
DevStaff

There can be some small cosmetic differences e.g for some regions the indicator will say 4G, in other regions it says LTE (it's the same thing). Also some carrier versions will come with more bloatware/preinstalled apps - you can avoid this by going for an unbranded version

And there is a possibility that default MMS size (I havan't found a way to change it) is set specific for a country.
In Poland standard value is 300KB and I have never had problems with MMSes on UK and DE ROMs. Now I'm on RU ROM and it looks like default MMS size is set to higher value so I can't send 80% of MMS messages because images are recompressed to sizes greater than 300KB.
I'll confirm this soon when I switch to DE ROM.

just to add it up,
there are a few 108 firmwares around right now.
Code:
D5503_14.4.A.0.108_EURO.ftf - 1037 MB
D5503_14.4.A.0.108_Generic_DE_1279-6978.ftf - 1037 MB
D5503_14.4.A.0.108_Generic_UK_1279-4053.ftf - 964 MB
D5503_14.4.A.0.108_RU.ftf - 964 MB
the main difference inside .ftf files is file that contain the system (system.sin), which unpacked come in two sizes: 1.45 GB (UK & RU versions) and 1.56 GB (EURO & DE versions). it could be due to preinstalled system apps (i'm not able to flash them and compare right now).

Hello Danyel Nro,
Just obtain an ftf file from XDA and then download flashtool. Then you should install the flashmode drivers, and put the ftf in the correct folder (<userfolder>\.flashtool). Then just start flashtool and select the "bolt" icon and follow the instructions.
Best regards

Updated LP from TMO should be out soon

Stated it was approved yesterday and should be released soon. Would hope to see BT and WiFi calling fixed.

Anyone get this new build flashed?

Using the LG Mobile Support Tool, I'm flashing it now in download mode. Too bad I Jumped to a G4 because of broken wifi calling and iffy BT in my car where 4.4 was fine.

How is it?

will try out but may downgrade to 20B again for root purposes in a couple days. who knows, in that time frame there may be a root.

can't speak to battery, but I restored my G4 backup to it and after a second reboot it was smooth and wifi calling worked. that said mine is in it's box to be returned to TMO for the Jump upgrade.

Trying to root phone don't kn ow to much about this accidentally downloaded a virus .

I have an LG G3 D852 I tried to root it last night and I downloaded a virus I factory reset my phone and now I am ready to try again if anyone has any safer ideas I used stump root and it just started making a super loud noise is that normal it was like a siren and I didn't push accept or download or anything . What is an different program that has worked for anyone .

Hi,
Thanks for using XDA assist.
In regards to stump root, have a look at this thread as it may be helpful: [Root] Stump Root for LG Devices (2012 - 2014) Big update 1.2.0
Assuming that you've followed the instructions provided, you may have to double check where you have downloaded the root app from and whether the app is compatible with your phone's current firmware.
Good Luck! - gsstudios

As the app is discontinued, a different app/method may have to be used for your android firmware. This thread will be moved to the G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting so proper assistance will be given regarding to root. It may help others if you can give your baseband version, android version and model number (in about phone in phone settings) so accurate help can be given.

Hi again,
I too don't understand the significance of the 10B/C, but I assume it has something to do with the bootloader (users correct me if I'm wrong). Therefore, if you've updated your firmware, the bootloader can also be changed as well, which means this root method may not work (as it was last updated mid 2014). I don't know how to check the bootloader version as I do not have a LG G3, I hope someone else will be able to help you out with this.

Ok thanks again what would happen if i just tried it would it damage my phone severly if not comoatible like meaning worse then a factory reboot couldnt fix

I think it would be better to use this method: [Guide]LG One Click Root - root LG firmwares (KitKat / Lollipop) or this method: [GUIDE][ROOT] Newest Root Method for LG devices. You are on lollipop so stump root will not work.

These apps/methods are to root your device from an unrooted state. If your device was previously rooted, it states that you will have to fully unroot it in SuperSU (in your case, your phone is still unrooted).

Sorry guys,
but to get this update, should I be in a Korean network?
because my H930DS come from korea, but I'm in europe.
does the update check the ip address?
Thanks

Anyone who has the Oreo update confirm project treble is in the final release?

I just got it. Installing it as we speak.
But I've read on other forum that it's not treble enabled.

It would have been in beta if it was going to be there. The speed of the update September to December (3 months), meant it would have taken a lot more time to add that feature.

I don't know why, but not all V30 models got the update. Some devices got notification then fail to install after 2 hours of downloading. Devices with beta program are easily to get update. But others have some problems. Still waiting for V300K, H930DS,...

LG Q 7 Plus

is there anyone that have had any luck rooting a LG Q 7 Plus

it will Brick MetroPCS/T-Mobile versions
Well hello there my friend!
I upgraded a few months back to the (Metro PCS) LG Q7+ Model: LG-Q610MA.
Do you know which Model of the phone you have?
If you still have the factory sticker on the back with the IMEI # on it, you can find the model number directly underneath that and to the left.
Models LG-Q610MA & LG-Q610TA, are NOT possible to install TWRP on them currently, anyways.
Then there is the Q7+ThinQ version and the regular Q7+ versions.
So, I am NOT sure if the Rooting process is different or not between the 2 versions.
So, i guess, I am about as confused as you.
Boy, I sure hope TWRP becomes available for it soon!!
