Probably exactly the same just different markets.

A320F for Middle East / Arabic countries
A320FL for Europe

is there a difference in the spareparts or are they fitting for both?

Wait, that cant be right. My cousin from Germany has an A320F, and I in the Netherlands have an A520F. So the F must be for the European countries, and the FL for the Middle East.

Well. That's ****ing weird. Apparently it's not for like continents, but for different countries. Because I live in the Netherlands and look at this: http://www.samsung.com/nl/smartphones/galaxy-a5-2017-a520/SM-A520FZKAPHN/

That is why I also made the mistake i have the A5 and is SM-A520F and for the a3 is SM-A320FL in france

Hey. I am from germany and my A3 2017 is a Fl.
Another question, Do the root for the 'F' work on 'FL' too?
Thx to all

If you install the recovery from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...elopment/recovery-galaxy-a3-sm-a320f-t3562302 you can flash SuperSU zip and get root on A320FL. For some reason Samsung has updated the A320F to nougat a month ago but the FL variant is still not getting it. It's pretty frustrating praying for 7.0 when 8.0 is already officially out

I have not changed anything yet because I was not sure. I would like to use it only root to lucky patcher or xposed.
I make it then as it is in the guidance of the linkhttps://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series-2017/development/recovery-galaxy-a3-sm-a320f-t3562302 or?
thank you for your help

Is it possible to flash the A320F image to the A320FL?

Will the screen from a-320F fit the a-320FL model?
It's only screens for F on AliExpress

A320F can take 2 simcards at the same time. That.s why A320F have 2 IMEI codes.

Does it mean that the A320F is exactly the very same device as the A320F/DS?
I'm asking because, according to the box, I've bought the A320F/DS (DS stands for dual sim), but then when I check "model number" in the settings it reads just SM-A320F (without the DS). And I'm crazy looking for FW updates and/or custom ROMs specific for the DS variant without any success. All I can find is for the A320F (besides the FL and the Y, of course), and even in Samsung's stock downloading pages I can only find the A320F, as if they had totally forgotten the "DS". If both devices are exactly the same, this would explain the lack of results in my search.

It seems to only be upgradable to Marshmellow via the stock rom. You have to install a custom rom. I've been using android Pie lineage with this phone for months, and it works great.

[TMO H932 ONLY] Progress Towards Root/TWRP/ROMs (not achieved yet)

I'm making this thread to update the progress towards root and such for the T-MOBILE LG v30
So far what I have gathered is that like the LG G6 the fastboot commands have been removed
There is in fact one fastboot commands still active and that's fastboot flash all,my proposal is that we modify a otas boot.img and root the boot.img then flash that ota package.
As per request here is the stock kdz:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=889964283620768916
I don't know anything about development just throwing a idea out there
Since people can't read correctly this for the T-MOBILE Variant..you know the only one that's locked down?

EDIT: the OP has now edited the thread topic at my suggestion to clarify he's only interested in the the T-Mobile LG V30. Initially it was for ALL LG V30 and his initial post thus had misinformation, which he's now corrected.

I predict Root/TWRP/ROMs will be achieved when the US998 and H930 are placed on the LG Developer Bootloader unlock list. And neither of those LG V30 phones have ADB flash commands removed, so you are not correct there.

Oh, you are probably ONLY talking about the carrier-branded models. Only the carrier-branded models of the LG G6 and LG V30 have the ADB flash commands removed. The official carrier unlocked models are not crippled in any way.
The LG V30 official carrier unlocked models (US998* and H930) released by LG directly (and also sold by some 3rd party retailers) have full ADB commands and will be the "developer" models with full root, TWRP, custom ROMs.
These two models will be released end of October and sometime soon after that (hopefully very soon), will be placed on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list. Within a WEEK after that you'll have root, ROMs, TWRP, kernels for the LG V30. That's what happened with the LG G6, which has TONS of dev work. June 29, placed on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock List, by first week of July -- BOOM! :good:
So, you might want to edit your thread title to to be CARRIER BRANDED LG V30? Your thread title says "not achieved yet". Because when the LG V30 official carrier unlocked models (US998, H930) get root, ROMs it WILL be achieved.
You are probably talking about the carrier branded models -- but it's like saying all cars have gear boxes in the wrong location for shifting gears on the open road. Well, not all cars have "stick shifts" at all. Some have automatic transmissions. You need to clarify you are only talking about the gear boxes of cars which have manual transmissions -- where you would be shifting gears while driving.
This has all been discussed in the LG V30 "Unlock bootloader and Root" thread.
Everything you need to know about this topic was posted back in early September in posts #6, #7, #9. Because even then -- a MONTH BEFORE CARRIER RELEASE -- we knew what LG was doing with their 2017 flagships. I posted information so people could plan accordingly. If you wanted root for sure on LG V30, you knew what to buy.
In that thread, I suggested at least twice that someone open a CARRIER BRANDED ROOT thread, if they ONLY want to talk about that. But no one has yet -- unless you change (edit) the title to this thread? Over in the T-mobile LG G6 thread -- which also has the so-far useless bootloader unlock -- there was 23-page root bounty thread, but after six months has been abandoned as a lost cause.
Again, the carrier unlocked LG G6 models have two pages of root, ROMs, kernels, recovery. It's only the carrier-branded 2017 LG models which are crippled.
______
* The official carrier unlocked US998 will be sold by LG, Best Buy, Amazon, B&H Photo and possibly other retailers. Not to be confused with the U.S. Cellular model US998 which is the "unofficial" carrier unlocked model. The U.S. Cellular US998 will not qualify for bootloader unlock as it's sold by a carrier.

This is not correct at 100%.
Internal variant have the possibility to unlock the locked commands by flashings the unlock bin file provided by LG, but normally they have locked adb/fastboot commands too.
This is not meant to discuss, but just to add some more precise informations, since I've unlocked both G5 and G6, and I'll probably get a V30 =)

Yes it is correct. The dev-friendly official carrier unlocked models have bootloader unlock on request by going to the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock page. They have full ADB flash commands after unlocking the bootloader.
You only quoted one sentence of what I wrote. I clearly mentioned the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock site several times and even included links to it.
My point is he's lumping ALL the LG V30 into one box, and some of the models will be dev friendly with capability of full ADB flash commands. Those will have root, ROMs, TWRP within a week of being placed on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list. It's only the CARRIER BRANDED models which are crippled.
The op should edit the title to specify carrier-branded LG V30, if that's what he really intends to discuss.

There's no negativity. Just stating the discussion should be limited to a subset of the LG V30 models -- the ADB crippled carrier branded models. And in reality, it seems you are REALLY only discussing ONE specific model of that subset -- the T-Mobile LG V30?
Because all the other carrier-branded models would additionally need an exploit to crack the bootloader, once you solve the root/TWRP problems on the T-Mobile model.
Initially you said "fastboot commands have been removed" from the LG V30 -- and that's ONLY verified true of the T-mobile model. Yes, we assume it's true of the other carrier branded models, but you would have to crack the bootloaders of those models to verify. However, that statement is NOT true of the official carrier unlocked models (North America US998, European H930), as they will be placed on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list and will quickly have root, TWRP, ROMs, kernels, etc -- just like their LG G6 counterparts.
You've now edited the initial post to clarify, which is good and will no longer confuse people. You probably were thinking about the T-mobile LG V30 when you created this thread, but this forum is for ALL LG V30 models, not just T-mobile. If you want to discuss only T-mobile LG V30, you need to clearly state that. Now you have.
I wish you all the luck and success.

i do apologize about not labeling it as t-mobile

Root
Isn't this similar to how the G5 was rooted

Man rooting a tmobile v30 is going to be tough but i was looking at the build.prop just to look at things. The prop denies root obviously enough but now to figure out ways to get some partitions to mount as rw. which will take the longest time to figure out. Plus there is no way to recover the phone in case of a brick at this time. Sheesh should have listened to chazzmat.
Ps I didnt know it had a bootloader unlock count until I "unlocked my bootloader". You can relock it but it shows the number of times you have unlocked it. There goes my warranty

Thank you for the cleaning

Hi op. This is indeed promising if true. How did you determine the command is still present? I've tried the flash commands and I received errors back. Though I'm pretty sure I never tried flash all
Edit.. oh you're talking about the flash-all script inside the ota package? Do we have an ota zip floating around yet? I'll gladly get into this if so. I have a device sitting at home

cant wait to get a stock version of android, thank you guys.

We need a ota file to modify first

Wasn't there a root method where they injected su in to a firmware for the G4?

I've successfully built the kernel from source, I don't have the ramdisk though. Maybe simply building twrp is a better option. This is futile without any update.zip or anything though

I just got a G7 from eBay. On the back it has sticker says LG-G710PM but when I check under the hardware info in setting it says "LG-G710ULM" and the S/N is blank. It has a weird software version too

Does anyone know what is this firmware? I'm guessing they installed some custom ROM onto the Sprint LG-G710PM to unlock it.

Yes, this is legit. Someone flashed the European firmware onto the device.

Is there a way to update the phone? or what KDZ can i use ? got one also and have the same security patch?

Hey I have the same one from ebay. Won’t work with sprint, doesn’t have bars. Could this European firmware have something to do with it?

I think its not the European version software these phones have, it must be US version ULM (Unlocked) FIRMWARE software, But the phone is a G710PM (Sprint) Hardware model. There must be an issue with sprint i think and that's why you have no BARS, If not contact the ebay SELLER.

Anyone else have thoughts on this phone? I also just bought an LG G7 (USA Unlocked) from eBay seller yywireless and it has the exact info as the OP has.

Wondering what are the risks if I keep the phone? S/N shows as blank also. Other that this it seems to work perfectly! Do we think the bootloader is still locked like other US phones or maybe it's unlocked and will allow a flash to an alternate ROM? I'm a newb, so looking for advice here on whether to keep the phone or not. Lots of these still listed on eBay as we speak... thanx.

Yes, it's now working on Sprint fully. Unfortunately I don't remember exactly what I did, but I think it was mainly APN settings, I was playing with the "secret menu" to select correct bands etc. but again if I remember correctly it was the APN settings that did it.

The older FI kdz has issues with data, search on the g7 threads for the bootloader unlock and you will find 11g (newer oreo), then in same post you will find out how to get sprint data working.

Also 11g is not the newest, you can now update to 20e for pie and updated security patches

Does anyone know if someone is working on a bootloader unlock/root for other models?

I know the EM can be rooted, but is someone working on a bootloader unlock for the other G7 models?

I got in touch with TMobile to see if their version would be bootloader unlockable. They gave me the run around, told me to contact LG who hasn't responded. One thing I did manage to get out of TMobile was a firm denial that they requested the device remain locked its likely apathy on the part of LG holding us back at this point. ?I haven't dug into mine yet because I have more interesting unlocked devices to work on

Giving that the only European models can be unlocked most likely not but maybe a bug in the future.

Have saw a AWM model which flash to EM model and get its bootloader unlocked on a second hand trading website in China. The seller said he flash the EM firmware and change the IMEI in order to unlock his phone "officially"

I'm eagerly waiting for the US unlocked G710ULM. If this variant is unlocked, why didn't LG unlocked bootloader?, it's been almost 4 months of no news from LG. .Why giving special status to unlocked European models , since LG V30? If that's the case then LG G6 US997 could be the last US model enjoying root?

Question No available update for Realme GT Master Edition

Hello guys. I have an issue about updates with my GT Master Edition. Since I bought the phone in september I didn't received any update and the build number is RMX3363_11_A.05 with August 2021 security patches.
I live in Romania but the phone was received from Italy, I also tryied with vpn and selected different countryes but nothing. I've done a reset to the phone but again, no result. What can be the problem?

Updates ( read: patches ) get rolled out by OEM if they deem it necessary.

.

Yes I know but I was broswing a little and this phone received monthly updates and now it shoud have december security patches. That's why it seems strange

Dial *#899# Software Version
At the bottom is the factory version. What is written after rmx3363? Is it GDPR?

I don't have the written who says "for sale and use only in EU...", there is only the sticker with the info about the phone. I saw on other boxes that written but on mine not.
I have tried to connect to Germany, UK, Netherlands, Italy and more... If you say this version is for India, should l try a India VPN? But these servers are not free, l should buy the app.

No need to buy, just download this, tap on free server tap Spain and look in updater !

Isn't it written on your box like this? If vpn hasn't helped so far, then you bought a phone for the global market. Since you said it was written on your phone "export", it probably means that the phone is for the global market. Where you bought the phone? In a legal sale or through an ad?
See the picture I added, "realme3". Still, for India it is "rmx3360". In the table, after "rmx3363export" is written, ID(Indonesia), IQ(Iraq),Egypt(EG),AE(Emirates),BD(Bangladesh)....
Try to connect to those countries. If you can't, sell the phone and buy a phone that is for the European market.
Sorry in my bad english.

He probably bought a phone that is for the global market, so he can't update the software.

Look, this is the box from my phone . It was a challenge on Instagram so l won this phone from Realme Italy. But actually l am living in Romania. Maybe it was like a internal version and is not for all markets, l don't know what to say. The phone is working perfectly but l have in my brain this thing with the updates.... Always like to have the last one.
I also tried India vpn but still nothing, l have enough of this. l will sell it and buy the GT Neo 2. Thanks for all your replies.
