Hi. I have LG G4, H812, Marshmellow. I purchased it from Wind, unlocked but swithched to Fido. I do not have Volte option as my wife phone locked to Fido LG G4 has.
I tried to compare hidden menu option on both phones, its look the same, unless I don't know where to look.
the software version on my phone is H81220f, build MRA58K, KERNEL 3.10.84
Please help
Thanks,
Leon
You probably have the Wind version installed, which doesn't have volte. If you want volte, you'll need to flash the rogers/fido version.
Thank you, I guess i will leave it as is as flashing is above my pay grade, afraid to lose everything and brick the phone.

Hi guys I have a practically new US Cellular g3 and would like to completely flash it to a different one or just unlock the radio and use it on Tmobile. Is there any way to do this as I have read somewhere this version has an unlocked bootloader. I dont ever plan on using the phone on US Cellular.

What is:
Your Android Version?
Your Model Number?
Software Version?
Model US990
Android 4.4.2
Baseband MPSS.DI.4.0.c2.1-00007-M8974AAAAANAZM-1
Kernel Version 3.4.0
Build KVT49L.US99010c
Software Version US9010c
I see that there is some sprint way to unlock it to Tmobile merely by changing the build.prop

Do you think this would work. I really like this phone and would really like to have this functioning on my service provider. It just says Invalid Card when I put an ATT or Tmobile sim in.

It might be easier to just take it into the store and tell them you purchased it and wish to use it on your current plan. They should be able to do it for you.

Yes I do
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 want to covert my phone AT&T G960U to global rom? Help me
I actually don't believe you really can to be honest. The 960U is the US unlocked variant. So even if you wanted the vanilla feel you wouldn't get it. From my experience, each carrier has been using the same variant of the S9 so they would just rebrand it with a OTA update.
Personally I've switched from Cricket (Original Purchase) to Boost (Boost ROM loaded) to Straight Talk (Verizon) with no issues except one. Which has to do with Sprints activation crap. The latest carrier switch has a default boot screen from Samsung.
You may be able to flash a rom using odin that isn't carrier branded. Like I said though, I'm pretty sure if its activated an OTA update fixes you up either way.
I get my firmwares from Sam Mobile.

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
Hello,
I will try to keep this short and sweet.
I am on US Mobile using the black sim (verizon towers) and currently have a LG v30 that no longer can make calls due to Verizon shutting down cdma beginning of 2023.
I have my brothers Lg G8 ThinQ phone purchased from US Cellular. It is now rooted and I followed this guide to add LTE support for other carriers:
[GUIDE] [NO ROOT REQUIRED] [EPIC UPDATE] How to add VoLTE support for other carriers to the G8 (and other Qualcomm powered LG devices too!)
This guide will not work if you are running Android 12 :( I'm gonna keep the intro simple, been a longtime user here on XDA, and recently I found that my T-Mobile LG G8 only supported VoLTE and VoWifi on, you guessed it, T-Mobile! So I did some...
forum.xda-developers.com
I used the mbn files provided from the guide and loaded a few of the US carriers. Upon putting in the sim, and trying to change settings to get it to work, I can only get data to work but texting/calling (in/our) does not work at all. When attempting to make a call, the 4G indicator also disapears. I contacted US Mobile thinking it maybe was a APN issue but they stated on their end that the phone is incompatible.
Not sure what else to try. My only hunch is maybe reloading mbn files from a downloaded KDZ but I have no clue if that will work (also to download 5 gigabytes takes a few days for me).
Any help is greatly appreciated.
attached is both the phone info and a snapshot of PDC of it showing VZN got activated on the phone with the sim in it.
EDIT:
For if anyone else comes across this. My solution was to crossflash (using the guide in the LG G8 fourms) the open market KDZ and I went with G820QM30c_00_NAO_US_OP_0103.kdz as I had android 11 already installed and that it was the A11 version download the most from here: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-lmg820qm-firmwares/
I did have to correct my FTM partition but that crossflashing guide links to some good solutions.
*Note: Only issues that I have seen with the version i flashed is i cant add an APN. The button is just missing so had to install an app to view it, and when receiving gifs, they turn into pictures only. both things I can live without as not volte works on verizon (us mobile).
So, which rom would normally work with that carrier? I'd guess the us open version would work, why not just flash that on the G8? I've no idea what bands us cellular rom supports, but I'd trust the correct rom (for the current carrier) to work rather than following that thread to 'add bands'.
I used that thread once, didn't accomplish what I wanted. Not to say it doesn't work, I didn't try that long. But have flashed numerous roms re diff carriers, that always does what it should re correct bands.
Frankly, I am not sure if my reply will be helpful, and I know nothing about the US Mobile specifically, but just wanted to comment as an owner of a G8 originally from the US Cellular. Feel free to ignore this if it seems irrelevant...
I bought my phone second-hand with an original US Cellular A11 stock ROM. Later cross-flashed it to the Canadian Open when A12 became available. Rooted with Magisk. I am using the phone on the Rogers network in Canada. On both ROMs I have no issues with data, voice and text - everything works, including concurrent voice calls and data usage.
A (possibly) dumb question - have you tried the original US Cellular ROM as is, before diving into the guide to add LTE support for other carriers? Is there a chance that it would just work?
Regarding the previous reply, I couldn't find a US Open ROM available for the 820UM models (only for QM), but you could try Canadian Open, for example. My point is to try and make it work with one of the ROMs as is, without messing with some extra steps that may or may not work.

Yeah, I guess i understood that as being able to add the functionality. But after more research, flashing a different rom is more likely to be the solution, which confuses me about adding profiles if it doesn't truly work?

So yeah, after more research, looks like flashing either the open market or the verizon specific variant would work. I did try it first without any modifications to the us cellular rom but still not everything worked. I have a Lg v30, but few things that are no longer ideal was the recent CDMA discontinuation from verizon at the start of this year, also had recently dropped it and the screen flashes bright white light in your eyes at random times... so lol, not ideal.
What Im probably going to be trying when I get the time is flashing the open market, and if that dosent work, it seems the verizon specific would.
Thanks both for the inputs!
