Which model G4 should I buy for rooting/TWRP/Roms/Xposed

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..

Installing H815 Roms On H818 variants

Hey everyone , i last bought a G3 but then saw that G4 in my area dropped its price to under 350$ which is currently my budget , but its a Dual sim variant , single sim is now out of stock in my country and i really want to buy one , so i was wondering , IF
I CAN INSTALL H815 ROMS ON H818 or Its Variants ? Is It Possible ? Will Atleast One Sim Work On it ?

What's wrong with this dual SIM phone ? Why would you flash a mono SIM firmware into it ?
Being dual SIM doesn't mean you have to put 2 SIMs to make it work.
BTW, you can't flash ROM because bootloader is locked.

What version of LG G7 should i buy for UK?

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.

LG G8 Sprint unlocked stuck at april 2019 update

HI,
I bought a Sprint Unlocked LG G8 , love the phone, but it stuck at g820u10i 2019 firmware , ota doesnt work , it just tells me Im already up to date , I reside overseas but I can buy a sprint sim from eBay if that works (maybe it is similar to the att ones?) .
Also sprint doesnt releases their kdz´s so thats another problem , I would like to know if theres a way to get the official otas directly from the phone .
I have already tried setting it up without the sim card , and then turning on wifi and it didnt work.
Any help would be appreciated , cheers.

Tried with LG Bridge and LG Support , powered on and in download mode.
Still nothing
LG Bridge says that couldnt find the device
LG Support Tool says that the device is up to date

I have the same problem

i try to cross flash the latest US OP KDZ (G820UM20j_00_USC_US_OP_0607) or CA OP KDZ(G820UM20j_00_OPEN_CA_OP_0120) on the phone but the LG UP will mention not allow to change a US sprint to US OP(CA OP) and could not proceed the flashing.

I'd suggest you both look at this thread.
@ThatLatinGuy if you're out of the country, no reason to want to keep Sprint firmware so might as well crossflash it to a rom that might work where u are.
cheers

Thanks Bro, let me try it.

Can anyone suggest how to unlock the 'perm lock' / 'network lock' in Lg Wing Indian variant?

The only solution it seems is to use the phone with indian sim in India and Bordering regions (for a some days, or maybe a week) and make few calls and SMS, which is impossible in this lockdown
