Hi all. Which model should I buy used that will work on AT&T 4G and that I can root custom recovery and flash roms on? Probably the h815? Or maybe the h811. What do you think? Any advice appreciated
After further research I have found that the h815 with a proper European country code is going to be the best bet. Shopping now!

First of all, 10m is your software version, not model number. The 10m just means you are on firmware version 10m. Seeing as you bought your phone in Taiwan, you most likely have an Asian variant such as the F400 or F400k. You may possibly have an international D855, but it's impossible to tell from your picture. Take your battery cover off and let me know what model number you see on the sticker under the battery. The same model number should be plastered all along the inside edges of the phone once the battery cover is removed as well. Like I said, it should be F400, F400k, D855, or something similar. Please let me know.
Thanks for your help. I looked behind the cover and its a D855. So when i search for compatible roms and stuff i should look for that model numer? Thanks for patience with ny ignorance man lol
Ok so thanks again for ur quick help. Ive done alot more reading now and im ready to root my phone, one thing ive had trouble finding is the stock firmware for my device if anything should go wrong or if i want to dl the OTA lollypop update i just received in the future. My current firmware is v10m-TWN-xx and i havr d855 16gb, i could only find the 32gb version. Would really appreciate it if someone lets me know where i could get the 16gb. Thanks guys!
Hi all,
Not often that i need to post a new thread but I am very confused and can't find an answer by searching.
My LG G4 says it is the model LG-815P but don't know which that is and where I should be looking for stuff. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

815 are "international" version. Yours specifically I could not say. This is the spec sheet from PDADB for that model, but according to that it has a link to Telcel. Telcel is Mexico..

Thank you for the info, it's weird to think that it's Mexico as I am in South Africa. Will have to see once we have root etc what I will need to do and use but thanks for the info. Been weird as my G2 was the D802 international variant. But now I can't find much about the 815P model.

LG-815P is for LATAM, South Africa versions, check it out here: http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_g4-6901.php
What parts are you looking for 815P, at most of times, parts of different variants in the same model are interchangeable, except for frame, housing and loudspeaker assembly.

Hi xymay,
I've also got a H815P (also from South Africa).
Do you know - Is it OK to use any H815 Rom on this phone?

I have the version for Mexico and no, you need a ROM for H815P.
The root system can be flashed over any 815 version.

Thank-you Pakitos.
I just want to ask to be sure that I understand you.
Are you saying 2 things.
One is that I must find a ROM for H815P.
The other is that I can use any H815's system inage on my phone.
Thanks,
Hotfingers

Yes there are 2 different things.
1) For the H815P you MUST flash a H815P ROM in order to not brick it. If you flash a H815N, H815TR, etc... your phone will be in an infinite boot loop best case scenario. Not really sure what happens if you flash a different ROM. It may not even boot.
2) When you root, you need to flash a system image that has root injected. Basically a hacked official ROM with the root installed on it. This system image works for every H815 version, so you dont have to worry about which variant you are on as long as it says H815 and matches your current ROM version.
Hope I made myself clear. If not, feel free to ask :fingers-crossed:
I thought 815p was pacific or puerto rico
Looking to buy a new phone, settled on the G4, gonna make sure I get a revision 1.1 and a 603 serial phone.
I am gonna be on MetroPCS so let's keep that in mind.
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 guys,
I bought a phone from ebay (955U) its unlocked Verizon variant. I will use the phone in Europe and want to remove the whole "Verizon" shi*
Is it possible to flash stock firmware from my country even though it's for SM-G955F or it will not work?
Thank you.
EDIT: And one more thing is it possible to downgrade to Marshmallow ? Thanks.
Hi Folks
I have the T837T from T-Mobile. My Question is if it is possible to flash a firmware from the T835?
Also it has a Simlock, anyone knows where to unlock the device?

This will sound stupid but do yourself a favor and sell it on ebay while used ones are still fetching good money and then buy an international korean model, no sim lock plus 6gb ram. I almost bought the tmobile one til i found out about the korean version.
