Im In UK and just bought a BNIB unbranded LG G4 from GAME uk...
Its a serial No: 506 and the assistant said it had just arrived from GAME haed office, so I assume its a Refurbished 506, which is fine, however, the OS version is:
VX10c-EUR-xx, rather than the standard "v10c..."
Does the VX stand for any changes...
EDIT:
Looking under the battery.. it says "Not for Sale" above the imei sticker and the IMEI on the phone does not match the retail Box it came in...
It wont update via OTA, it says "You are on the latest version of the OS" and LG Bridge "cant find a software update for your Phone", so I flashed v10b through.. LGUP Refurbish, which worked, but it still wont take an update via OTA or LG Bridge..
Could this be a DEMO version.. if so, should i return it..?

Hi guys,
I've recently had my Hong Kong H815T repaired and it's come back to me with v10B-OPT1-YT. The hardware info shows H815T.
I had updated via LG Bridge to v20C, after completion the software shows v20C-OPT1-YT, I was hoping it would show v20C-HKG-TT. The hardware info still shows H815T.
Getting further annoyed at this, I decided to use LG UP and 'refurbish' my phone back to V10B-HKG-TT.KDZ for the H815T using the methods provided on XDA. However in doing so, it has flashed back to LP v10B-OPT1-YT BUT now the hardware info shows LG-H815 WITHOUT the T! Does this mean I have disabled Band 40 due to the model number change? Have I just monumentally f**ked it up somehow?
To add more to the problem, LG Bridge still indicates my phone is ready for an update for H815T v20C (04.02.2016) but I had already updated to that version...
Anyone able to help? My OCD is going ballistic lol, I wouldn't have paid extra for the T model if I didn't intend on using B40!!
Is there any way I can get H815T back showing as the model number?
Or at the very least, does this affect the extra radio band available on the H815T (B40 2300mhz)
My baseband version is MPSS.BO.2.5.c3-00101-M8992FAAAANAZM-1.31581.1
Software version is v20C-OPT1-YT.
Prior to sending it in for repairs, I was running v10F-HKG-TT and my model info was correctly displaying H815T.
Christ I haven't had my phone for 7 weeks and I already messed it up eugh.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,

Hello,
Long story short, I have obtained my phone back from repair in Hong Kong (I am located in Australia). Originally the model of G4 was a H815 using software version H81520D_00_0115 I believe from memory. This phone died because of it overheating causing to do a boot loop/stuck on LG Logo screen.
I ended up getting the phone back from Hong Kong, they replaced the mainboard as I thought and now the model of the phone thinks it is a H818N Dual Sim card LG G4 – Running software version V10c-DS1-HQ, which it clearly is not a dual sim card G4 because there is no additional sim card slot. Anyway, phone seems to be working well except the rear camera does not focus (I have had this issue in the past and I resolved the issue by installing the correct software version, eg 20A, 20C, 20D etc.) Trying to update the phone using software update does not reveal any updates. Using LG Bridge reveals an available update for it, it thinks the software version was 20F or 20H not sure, however when it goes to download it does not get past 0% tested on two PC’s.
I have installed the images I have found for the H818N now which are:
Hong Kong H818N10b.kdz (this one worked the best as it didn’t come up with that error message when you reboot if it’s an incompatible kdz image)
India H818N10d_00.kdz
India H818N 10F.kdz
With no success in fixing the rear camera issue. I have not factory reset though as I don’t think it would have much of an impact.
Have tried to loading: H81520D.kdz image but the LGUP utility (which I have been using for the above process) says KDZ file is invalid, I assume this is because it detects the phone as H818.
Does anyone have any suggestions or locations where I could download more images to try like H818N 10A,B,C etc? Or if there is something I should do cause I have had nothing but issues with these phones
Kind regards
I got a G8 from eBay and I'm stuck on on Android 9 October 1, 2019.
The model says sprint in settings but the IMEI tells me it's Amazon unlocked (even do i have the google asistan button )
Lg bridge only detects the phone in download mode but it fails once the update starts
tried flashing the amazon g8 kdz manually Got this
I saw a way to update the sprint models on Xda but I'm not sure because of the IMEI,
it also has Amazon apps pre installed and some sprint apps
Any help

However it get error in step 3 when device enter firmware update mode, see attachment below, can anyone know why this happaned??

hmm i buy second phone from local ecommerce, so idont know about the device correctly, i checked imei in https://www.imeipro.info/ the model show as lmg820N, but my devices info is lm g820um, why?
I bought a refurbished LG G7 (G710EMW) Dual SIM Model on Aliexpress, but it is on Android 8 with software version (V10d-LAO-YT). The normal system update keeps saying I am currently using the latest version. A check of my IMEIs on lgrom.com says they cannot be found.
A search on https://lg-firmwares.com/ revealed that many people had a device with similar IMEIs as mine which also they confirmed that were refurbished phones they bought on Aliexpress. And the admin said their phone's IMEIs can't be verified in their servers or database and that the phones may be Demo Units, Test or Refurbished Units' hence the reason their IMEIs can't be verified.
The Aliexpress seller also couldn't provide any help. The sticker on the IMEI packaging document says "Made in Korea".
So now I want to know which Android 10 KDZ can I download and flash for my phone because some people said they flashed the wrong Android 10 KDZ and they ended up messing their phones. PLEASE help.
