Bought this phone for the brown leather back cover, and then found when I got it home that it was a dual sim and different to the H815.
Am I buggered with regard to rooting and a decent custom rom? No sign of Android 6.0 on OTA updates yet and I really wanted to flash a new 6.0 ROM but none on here, as I had on my G3.

You can root lollipop but no chance rooting 6.0 as we can't unlock the bootloader. It looks like all of the dual sims have received the 6.0 OTA, you may need to check via LG Bridge.
here is the thread of Dual Sim variants of LG G4. find any info realted to H818P/N here

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!

As far as i know there is no roms released for the D858 and please do not think flashing a rom for another variant will work because it will brick your device
And no switching to a rom specifically designed for the D858 (if it does get eventually released) wont remove dual sim capability since the developers account for it during development
I feel ya man, I saw this one today and I think it's awesome, but the fact that it has zero custom rom support is a total turn-off for me, since it'll mean I'm stuck with stock with no way out in later device life cycle.
Hi Guys,
Is there any way to install TWRP/Custom ROMs, on the H815 TWN variant? I tried today to unlock the bootloader today, but it still says not supported (screenshot attached), let me know if any one has found a way to Bump the kernel like on the old G2/G3 models.
Thanks everyone =D
I have exactly the same issue unfortunately. I'd be happy with ROOT for now.
I hope someone in the community can help us out.
EDIT: root (and downgrade from MM if needed) for TWN: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/twn-root-question-downgrade-root-t3328465
Sorry but it's not possible now. There's lots of us waiting for Bootloader to be unlocked for TWN model H815... but currently impossible.
Luckily we can still have Lollipop with root.

And luckily phones like the Nexus 6P or almost any other competitor allows for bootloader unlocking unlike LG.
So if you get pissed off enough, that's an option
I recently got my Moto Z2 Force bootloader unlocked and rooted. I was messing around with a Quick Settings app and found a dual SIM settings. I was wondering if this phone does come in a dual SIM variant or if it could be made into a dual SIM phone I have the T-Mobile Edition.
The wizard was able to launch. the other settings shortcuts are not working they keep force closing.
You can follow the procedure for the Moto Z to modify build.prop and changing out the modem file for the dual sim variant.
Method 1: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/how-to/guide-to-enable-dualsim-singlesim-t3594529
Method 2: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/how-to/guide-dual-sim-mod-signle-sim-moto-z-t3606528
Test it out and let us know what happens. I don't own this device, but if it works, I might own it soon. Remember to make backups.
I look through those links you gave me. I'd be willing to give it a try but there's no official TWRP currently meaning that there is no definite way back if I mess up. If there is dumped images I can Flash with fastboot to recover if something goes wrong I would be willing to give it a try.
The files for the modem are in the same location as the Moto Z and Z play also I need to figure out how I am going to get the second sim to be secured in the sim tray

The second method doesn't require modifying system files and everything is done via fastboot and adb. As far as securing the second sim, could you post what the sim tray looks like? My last Moto device was the Moto X Pure, which was stolen in the Philippines. If anyone in the Philippines wants to help me recover it, please PM me.
Here is what the tray looks like I'll do some testing tonight when I get home
Usually Motorola ships their phones with the same sim tray as their international dual sim variants, except with the second sim slot covered up.
When I was messaging Motorola's support today they said the us version is single sim only but there is a different sim tray for the dual SIM version that is available outside the us. I still have to call in and verify over the phone and see if it can be ordered
So when I called in they said that there is not a dual-sim capable after it's been registered in a US Network and then they wouldn't answer my question if I could even get a dualsim tray so I guess I can't

In Italy we have carrier TIM which is selling single SIM (unlocked) @ about 685,00 €.
Unbranded are dual SIM in most of EU markets but prices are high and availability is low: in Italy Amazon sell them @ about 990,00 €, while on other EU markets best prices could be 850,00 €, rarely less....
I've got mine from a *very good* German seller on eBay... they still have one available @ about 715,00 € shipped which is a *great* price to date...
Hello guys.
I have xt1789 03 variant. It's a single Sim but I was wondering what if I put another Sim and give it a try.
I did and it detected another Sim as well.
It was working flawlessly but when I heard that some of the other variant roll out pie update and people are using it.
I try to flash the pie ROM and it flashed successfully but the problem I am getting now is that the IMEI I had on the phone shows 0
I tried to revert it back to stock Oreo and noughat but after flashing I got baseband unknown wifi and Sim signals lost. Even Bluetooth was not working.
I am wondering if there is a way That I could revert it back to Oreo or noughat so I will have the old baseband and working wifi and both the Sims.
Please help me out so I could get my Moto z2 force back to original condition.
Right now what I did for getting the wifi back I flashed the modem NON-HLOS.bin
I lost the sim signals.

Hi everyone,
I just purchased an unlocked G7 ThinQ from B&H. I found that instead of the LG startup animation there was one by a company called "Claro." I'm looking for a way to flash the original LG Splash screen or skip over it entirely. I'm aware that I'll need to root the phone first and any guides of the sort are appreciated.
Model: LG-G710AWM
Hardware Version: Rev 1.0
Android Version: 8.0.0
Kernel Version: 4.9.65
tl:dr Please help me install an LG Splash Screen instead of the Claro one.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately that didn't solve my problem but now I have a new question;
Could downloading the official LG Firmware for my G710AWM be the answer? And would I have to root my phone to install firmware that came from LG?

Yeah you can use LG UP to install that firmware but it's a bit tricky to install. Also there's no root for your model since it's not unlockable.
Same Issue - Claro Startup Splash Screen
I have exactly the same issue. Only difference is I got my Lg G7 through Walmart. Anybody?
You could probably use of bridge to overwrite the "official" ROM with the one from the website. I got mine from Rogers but it has the lg splash screen. I think the only thing to worry about, if you flash the official firmware from lg, is the APN settings for your LTE. I have the same version as you though, as far as model and firmware and Android version. I wonder if maybe there is a flag you are missing. I've been researching this phone all month, and the best we can do is wait for lg to release pie. If lg bridge automatically downloads your ROM, you can just download the official from LG's website. There should be no reason why you can't at least use the official lg firmware to change the boot animation, cause that's about all we can do with this phone.
Idk maybe when pie is released they will make fast boot functional.

Thanks for the suggestions. While I'm kind of an expert on Windows, I'm not that familiar with the technical aspects of smartphones and android. Certainly don't want to brick the new phone. Might just wait for pie and see what happens. Guess I can live with the splash screen since no indication that it impacts functionality. I was just hoping that there was some easy way different cell phone providers could put their logos on the splash screen since I've seen images of the Lg G7 being powered up with various splash screens showing.
Thanks again.

The lg tools are super easy to follow if you can read instructions, but yeah, it's just a splash screen.
