Hello all, I have a question. I would like your opinion. I want to return my G3 to LG Official stock with OTA working etc, just like it was when I first bought it. So I'm looking to flash the proper and right kdz, but I came across a "problem" .
I have the International 16GB D855. The sticker on the box says that it's " 6SW(Switzerland) " , but when I'm searching on http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php the firmware based on my IMEI, it says that the firmware is 6ES ( Spain ).
So what firmware am I supposed to really flash? Is the IMEI one the right one since it searches the phone on LG's Servers?
But then again , the 6SW version hasn't gotten Lollipop update yet, the latest 6SW firmware is version V10L, while my G3 got the Lollipop OTA version V20F before I downgraded it, root and flashed it custom Firmware.
What is your opinion? Sorry for the long post and thank you very much.

You can flash any compatible EURO rom on to your device, like the latest German D855 rom ending with 20H. Link https://mega.co.nz/#!AMoUjCQY!llgH-KlTB4J0paynnnGpIq0ANCAEtXjmUvpx8G8ApQM and flash with LG Flash Tool.
BTW: did you backup your EFS folder?
I created this thread to link all stock ROM's for LG Spirit, namely H440N, H440Y, H422 and H442F variants of it.
If you have any question ask it in LG Spirit General Thread (author @polfrank ) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/lg-spirit-h440n-thread-t3108435
All ROM's should be listed from newer to older so be warned. Also whenever I can,I would write from which mobile operator it is and from which country.

Changelog
Update #1 (20.06.2015 @ 3:05 CEST)
Started thread
Added v10c_00 based firmwares on list
Added other kdz files from General thread
I would like to ask:
If anyone has done the update via OTA it would be nice to see the changelog and know what's new and if an update is worth the time.
Changelog
Update #2 (20.6.2015. @ 21:34 CEST)
Added v10f_00 Indian kdz for H422 variant of device
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
@polfrank yeah it would be nice to see what are changes, but unfortienatly I can't see that because I'm pulling kdz files from few trusted sources which don't say what is new
Are these kdz files derived from the LG site using IMEI codes?
Changelog
Update #3 (25.6.2015. @ 22:03 CEST)
Added support for H440Y ROMs
Renamed thread to add support for H440Y phone
Added v10d_00 Taiwanese ROM to list at H440Y variant of phone
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
@ShinOrochiX seems that all kdz files are collected via IMEI code from LG site and all should work great no matter of your IMEI
Also if somebody find newer variant of ROM for any of named devices in first post and in thread name contact me via PM or post link here in thread so I can edit #1 post
Changelog
Update #4 (27.06.2015 @ 14:03 CEST)
Added v10f German firmware for H440N
Added v10f from unknown country ( Credits: @deni-brasco for submitting it in General thread, but next time please write from which country it is)
This is H440n Portugal/Switzerland edition:
http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW4BKUG13267AM42E0811ZR/H440n10f_00.kdz
The one provided by deni-brasco is H440n Italy edition.
Changelog

Upgrade or clean install? I mean CSF Flash or Normal Flash via LG Flash Tool? I ask that because I want to do Normal flash without wiping anything (it is annoying to set up 5 different e-mail addresses for 5 different things like college, private, hangouts, youtube etc)

Normal flash. It keeps all your data with no problem. You just have to reroot and set xposed again.
LG Spirit H440N Stock rom
Hello everyone.
I have a sim free LG Spirit H440N handset. I got it free of charge from 3UK, who sell all their phones unlocked. Unfortunately, it has a 3 splashscreen on boot, and other 3 stuff built in. Is there a stock rom available, that has none of the 3 bloatware in it? If so, where is it, and how do I flash it? I would rather not root the phone if I can help it; although I will do so if it is necessary. Is there a method to return it back to the 3 version, if necessary? I have rooted phones before, and installed custom roms, etc; but not for a while. I thank you in advance for any help you may be able to offer me.

Hi,
I also have the Three customised firmware-I don't like it either. There is a way to download the firmware, check here. As for firmware without Three's crap in it we'll have to wait for a non-network UK retailer to list it, then if we can get an IMEI, be it from a store display unit, we can download and flash that firmware (when it becomes available). But I don't know if anyone other than Three will sell it, Three has had it for about 2 months even though it was exclusive to them only for 1 month.

Thanks ShinOrochix. So nothing to do but wait then. There's no need for the stuff that 3 put in the phone firmware. It doesn't have a huge memory to start with, and these extra files are just an unnecessary inconvenience.

Yeah, useless bloatware. I just got rid of some of it but am stuck with the bootscreen, rather not root the device yet. As for memory, your right, with all my stuff installed I got just under 2GB free, had about 4GB on my previous Xperia-but who's to complain, the Spirit is a great phone.
I'm in the same boat as you. I debloated as much as I could, but I can't get rid of the bootscreen. The 3 logo sits there for ages. I downloaded a couple of boot animation changer apps, but they didn't work. Perhaps the apps were set to look in the wrong location for the stock boot animation. More investigation needed into the phone's file structure, I reckon.
Hi, I'm Italian and I bought this phone today. On "ABOUT PHONE" I can read version "V10C" but I don't know if is really V10c, or v10f. I want only a stock italian firmware NO BRAND!!! I hate all that apps by TIM!!!
Which firmware do you suggest me???
Hi guys, I have found this site......can be useful???
http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=168
Hello. In this site it is being claimed that there is a v10d version of the firmware for LG H440N. (I know the picture of the phone is wrong, but it seems they got it right on which smartphone they're talking about...)
http://www.hanfei.name/kdz-download...-v10b-v10c-v10d-v10e-v10f-stock-firmware.html
In gaodi.net there has been a V10d version a while ago but it was only in some weird versions like Spain Orange, Portugal Orange, Poland Optimus (see here) so I haven't tried it. Has anyone tried it? Is it really v10d or is it like the others, where v10e=v10b and v10f=v10c ?? So maybe v10d is actually v10a??
Hi, it is possible and safe to change the firmware of LG g8s g810ea to g810eaw? I thought about flashing new firmware with LG up.

I know nothing about the G8s, never owned one, but generally speaking, pretty sure changing the firmware is much the same as the G8. There are some no no's, like if you have dual sim to single sim, or vice versa, but you don't say anything about the firmware you're referring to... it might help to know why you want to change, iow, what are you trying to accomplish?
But more than likely, it shouldn't be a problem. I'd suggest first to ask on the tele group for the v50 / G8 devices, they are more international experience there and will be more certain. Cheers
Thank you for a quick answer. My LG G8s is a g810ea version. I won’t to flash g810eaw firmware because the are fresher builds. Newest build for eaw is 30c from 7/2022, when ea 30a is from 12/2021. Also LG Germany declared Android 12 update. Morover I couldn’t find setting for VoWifi and Volte. All firmwares are meant for LG G8s, which is available in 3 versions g810ea, g810eaw and g810ra.

From what I can see on the firmware pages, should be okay. Always keep in mind that ea individual rom has certain bands enabled, so be sure the bands it has will meet your needs.
Also, vowifi and volte are dependent on your carrier, not just the phone. The G8s is capable of both, but if your carrier doesn't allow them then there's no way to make the work. And, some carriers (like US at&t), only allow it to work on their phones - or at least that was the case at one time.
It's always best to flash an 'open' version Rom, if there's one available with the bands you need, and your carrier allows a phone on their network that isn't running their specific rom (usually an mvno type carrier is best).
cheers
Hi,
Not been around here since the days of the S3.
Anyhow, recently picked up a dual sim LG G7 thinq mostly for use a backup phone.
It's a LM-G710EMW model, of which there seems to be precious little information compared to over versions.
LG Bridge doesn't seem to work in Mac anymore, but when it did it told me there were no updates for my model.
Currently it's stuck on Android 8.0.0. Are there no official updates for this at all?
Software version is listed as V10d-LAO-YT
Hi
you can download firmware here https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-lmg710emw-firmwares/ Which exactly I cant tell because you didnt provide more info from version page (csc maybe imei).
You can flash it via LGUP (im not sure about mac compability) by this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-how-to-flash-stock-firmware-and-re-lock-bootloader.3820888/ (you need to follow first half)
Thanks. Strangley almost everything related to finding out the CSC is for Samsung devices.
Anyhow, looking at the IMEI the 7th and 8th number are 09, which according the only table I could find is India. Sounds about right, but doesn't seem to be any way to confirm it.
