Dear community,
I currently got a LG G3, it is not branded, and I live in Austria (it was also bought here). The former owner already flashed CyanogenMod on it. But I want to go back to stock and start from there. I am familiar with flashing etc, but I cannot find the Stock ROM in Austria (I assume there are specific ROMs for each country, almost like it is for the Galaxy S3?).
Thanks a lot in advance for any kind of help!

So I received my Arc S today in the UK, and it's a French model - I knew it'd be a European model of some sort when I ordered, so that's fine.
But even though I've set the language to English, I'm still finding a few things in French and it seems like my UK network can't detect what phone I have, and I'm unable to get a data connection.
Can someone tell me if it's possible to flash a generic stock or O2-UK stock rom to it please? I used to have a HTC Sensation and have experience rooting and custom rom'ing with that. My current build number is 4.0.2.A.0.42.
Do I root and flash the stock firmware from this page?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204302
So to build number 4.0.A.2.368, to be clear. Will that give me all the generic/UK stock options instead of French video services, Canal+ and Jeux Gameloft?! I really don't need a custom rom, in fact I want it to be as much like I've just bought it from a UK supply as possible and don't even need rooting or the bootloader unlocked at the end of it if that can be avoided.
Your help is much appreciated in advance!

Thanks! It doesn't seem to have a generic UK firmware - only Central Europe 1/2/3 without listing the difference - but I've emailed Wotanserver to see if they can advise.
Is their method safe, do you know?
Hi guys, sorry if this is a dumb question but not used HTC device since WinMo days so kind of lost.
My Dad bought this device cheap but its in Polish, I changed the language but I want to flash UK firmware on for him. He wont be needing root or custom kernel etc so just want to know the easiest method of getting stock UK rom on for him?
Thanks in advance.
Flash an EU RUU.......that should probably do the trick
Make sure it's software version is more than your current rom
Hi All,
Looking for a bit of advice here with my newly purchased Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition (P605).
I'm in Australia and I bought it from what I thought was a reseller with the local version but when the device turned up it had an international power plug and what looks to be a Hong Kong ROM.
So first thing I did was try and flash it with the Australian unbranded firmware and every time Odin fails with an FAIL! (Size) error. I've tried both the unbranded and the Telstra firmware with no luck. The only way I could get the device back to a working state was by installing the Taiwan ROM (I expect the Hong Kong ROM may have worked too).
Anyone got any suggestions as to how to resolve this? Having the Chinese keyboard pop up frequently when I connect my bluetooth keyboard is pretty annoying. I've read some stuff about this perhaps being related to partitioning?
Other options I'm looking at are flashing the device with the UK firmware and even the South Korean 4.4.2 firmware. I've got a Galaxy S5 with 4.4.2 and I think it is much nicer than 4.3 - would be good to standardise the OS on both as the little inconsistencies are a bit annoying.
Appreciate any thoughts and thanks in advance.

DON'T flash the Korean KK firmware... When looking for a rom only pick P605 rom, the Korean rom is a different model number.. It will brick your device.
Try the UK rom (BTU). You should be able to flash just about any P605 rom (nothing with with letters behind) but the Oz rom is weird... I'm in same boat, got the Hong Kong 32gb P605 but can't flash Oz rom. Not gonna sweat it though as there are a bunch of other roms out there with a release of KK not far off, the nordish Notes just got updated to KK on the 29th...
Shouldn't be too long...
4.4.2 installed

Not to worry - I've installed 4.4.2 NEE from the instructions at

Only one problem though - the left key on the Galaxy S5 brings up the app list while on the Note 10.1 2014 it brings up the settings menu (same behaviour as my S4). I don't care either way really but some consistency would be nice!! Dunno how many times already I've pushed the left button on the Note looking for the app list.
Hi guys,
I'm going nuts soon...
This is my first LG device and I'd like to get it back to stock on Vodafone. Yes, I know - I should read and I DID.
What I would like to achieve is the full shebang with all the Voda bloatware and bootimage.
I looking for this for 5 hours now and done 3 full flashes but all of them turns out to be international roms which works fine but missing all the aforementioned stuff...
I have tried these from different xda and other threads:
UK Vodafone 16G D85510A_00 from storagecow.eu
D85520h_00.kdz from csmgdl.lgmobile.com
D85520T_00.kdz (with A6VFKG suffix) from devtester.ro
Could anybody provide me a link please to a UK Vodafone fully branded ROM for D855 please?!? :crying:
Thanks a lot!
BTW I don't care about which version it is - could be Lollipop or Kit-Kat!
It could be even Cupcake
Anybody?
desperately need it as I have to send the phone back for repair
Have you tried to use the official lg mobile tool?
Just select UK as country as Vodafone d855 as model

Thanks for the reply.
Yeah, I did and I downloaded the ROM as well but NONE of them has all the bloatware & boot animation
Anyway I gave it up and will send it back with the 20t ROM from LG site.
I have it if somebody interested as LG sent back the phone with that sh*t flashed on it
Hi Guys
Sorry in advance i just need lil help in getting to the place for instructions on how to flash a official LG stock firmware and then to the Marshmellow. I am used to the Samsung as this is all i have used and found this quite easy using Odin and it worked a treat after downloading from Sammobile. This is my first LG phone
I like a lot of people have splashed out on the cheap Vodafone UK stock PAYG and want to rid it of the bloatware and the splash menu etc then go the 6.0 marshmellow route. But the stock non branded FW is my priority please.
