I was checking on internet that my phone is unlocked or not but it is in my mind that it is an international version and also global update for it is also available so can we use it in any of the countries which are meant for international version without any problem
No, just use dumped TWRP ( find them in G3 Android Development )
Is this a question or a statement? What are you looking for?

Put another carrier's sim in it and see if it asks for a code; if so, you'll need to unlock it. You can buy your code for @ $3.99 (US) on ebay.
I used different carriers on it and they worked perfectly ....

Hello evryone! I've just bought an unlocked LG Optimus G Pro. This phone is the AT&T version, but since it's unlocked, and i use it in europe, there are lot of useless apps in it, and it doesn't contains the language of my country (Hungary). I want to change the android for the version what the factory unlocked phone has. Can anyone help me? I've already found a link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2438088 but i'm not sure that this is what i'm looking for.

You can flash this kdz file at: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+Optimus+G+Pro/Stock/Panama+E980H/
Thank you! I have some other questions too.
Thank you very much! So this is the international version for unlocked phones right? I just checked the software version in my phone and it's running on E9810p. And one more question, the unlocked software version contains all the default android languages? I just found here a file for my country, its in the HungaryE986 folder on the site what you linked (i can't put there links because i just registered yesterday sorry.) but it's number is E98610E. So i don't know it is compatible with my phone or not.
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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55373282&postcount=66
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.

Except in this case the EM version is the only one aside Italian TIM version which can currently be unlocked.
You don't have to take our word for it, check supported devices and see for yourself.

EM version is not international, it's European market version. It's available only for European markets so it's understood that it can be unlocked, each and every LG model in Europe were able to unlock up from G4
International are those versions which are selling outside of USA and European markets, namely for Africa+ AME, CIS, SEA, Latin AM
the Latin g5 840 doesn't even have the same 820 chip it's the 652 I guess jcadduono was wrong to when he made the International version twrp for 850 I included a pic so we can start working together on root also nimax rom we worked hard and had to drop the international version because ceaser or I had the International version we went to 20m 2 updates
Mine is LG G7+ G710EAW from HongKong. In the box it has a paper written about region lock that takes 30 minute local call to unlock. I don't live in HongKong, so I assumed the shop I bought did all this for me.
I want to flash a new firmware to another region and perhaps re-flash back to the original one. Will region lock come back (or even worse, the new firmware has it too)?
I tried it myself today. The answer is no. It will not come back.
Did you experience the region lock limitation or just saw a notice about it?

My G7+ was region locked to China, Hongkong, and Macau area. It had been unlocked properly by calling using a regional sim card, Now I don't live in the country of purchase anymore (Hongkong).
I was afraid if there should be something that would trigger the region lock again. However, after hard resetting and flashing another firmware, seems that region lock once unlocked properly will be unlocked forever regardless of whatever you do with the phone.

When cross region, just use the same model number (mine is G710EAW ), whichever region is OK. Hongkong firmware on my G7+ does not support VoLTE and LTE-U in my country so I flash Indonesia firmware to enable them.
You can find all G7/G7+ firmwares on all variants on the internet easily, just use LGUP, .dll file for your device, and USB driver to flash the firmware you want.
Thx for your information.
Even if there was a chance that it is not permanently region-unlocked, you could always just order the unlock code from one of the many online unlocking services...they basically just get the unlock code for you from the manufacturer. Then you could just keep the code handy, in case you ever needed it...
I paid like $14.00 for the unlock code for my black UK/EU Region LG G7 (G710EM) when the U.K. seller that I bought it from mistakenly shipped it to me in the U.S. without first making the local region 30-minute phone call...but it was cool being the first one to actually unseal the box, and it took less than a day for the online unlocking service to send me the code after I ordered it.
I just bought another one from the same UK seller (in platinum grey), and this time I actually requested that they send it to me still sealed (and still region locked)...I will just order the unlock code like the last time. All good!
Good luck, in any case!
Cheers,

Similar to the thread, I'm using LM-G710N which is the korean variant. I guess the store did unlock for me so if I flash other region or international fw, will I be able to take advantage of these variants' dual sim ? Since my dad has a korean samsung s8 single sim which now converted to use it with dual sim.

As title says which version of phone should i avoid on fleabay as i want to buy this phone. No one seems to answer this specifically :/
thanks
bump
You need european version, so G710EM (64GB) or G710EAW (128GB)
i get that i need the european version but the american handsets will work too and i've been told to avoid the Tmobile version at all costs.
i just needed to now which is the best variant from the american/canadian ones!
cheers
Canadian AWM version. Support more lte band (for UK and Europe) then USA unlocked ULM
thanks siley
only g710EM
now im confused???
Get the 710em that's what I got when I brought mine worked fine
I told him EM or EAW is best for Europe, but he want model from America so Canadian AWM is better.
I got the LM-G710EM version

I think is a crossflashed device. Mine is EM too, but came with open EU rom and it is a TIM device (italian carrier). Amazon things...
U can flash any firmw u want with lg_up 14-15, but with no ota support due to restrictions. U can always search ur region with ur imei in internet after a simple search on google, but if the device is from carrier... I recommend u a clean open eu kdz over any carrier firmware.
