My G3 was reported as stolen (presumably by the seller) shortly after I bought it, so the IMEI was blocked on my network. I sent the phone to the US for repair and, after some hassle and a complaint to Paypal, I received it it by return post almost 6 weeks later. Not sure if I can mention the "repair" company here but PM me for details, if you'd like them.
The phone now works on Edge / 3G but will not connect to any Australian 4G network. I've tried flashing the European (4.4.2) tot and Australian 5.0 tot but the situation persists. In slight desperation, I'll try the Hong Kong tot later today but in the meantime, does anyone know of a solution?
Possibly useful info:
There is no EFS backup.
The (new) IMEI is displayed in Phone Information and with the "06" code entered in the phone.
The model number is D855 (not D855K or any other variant)
The phone was rooted and running (I think) ANHD Lollipop when it was sent in for repair.*
Extensive searching has not produced anything that has been of use.
LTE is available in Network Selection and it sticks after reboot, so no need to use 'hidden menu', delete system files, etc...
* Probably the cause. The only instructions given were to send the phone without SIM or external SD card.
Have you tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54621213&postcount=26
Or this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/mod-root-activate-lte-g3-t2819387
Yes. It's nothing to do with settings, I think. I have LTE in settings, no problem. It just won't connect to any band n the hidden menu (I tried each one). Seems that the Australian LTE bands have been knocked out, somehow.
Just discovered that the phone will not connect to data network if GSM only is selected but GSM/WCDMA will switch between EDGE/3G (H - no H+)
HK .tot file did not resolve the problem.

I have a article about this, but its in Turkish, with pictures of course and links for necessary files, will you please traslate the link and just read the second part only , starting as restoring qcn bacup, if you are on kitkat, if you are lollipop please downgrade to kitkat first ( also link to kitkat kdz ).
I have necessary qcn too, if you need it (not the one in the article a better one).
Feel free to ask anything after you look at it.

You are wellcome, this is the way it should be i think. I'm old enough who knows sharing is a must ..
http://www.androidbrick.com/qualcomm-snapdragon-imei-tamiri-ders-4-qualcomm-snapdragon-imei-repair/ , the trick is to "zero" necessary partitions, and put your original imei in an orginal untouched qcn backup of your version. You can see it in the pictures of this article. Your 3 partition that holds this info are 21, 22 and 24.

Hello guys , can anyone tell me whats up with the firmware link? I do not get any sw link on my checkup, but everything else is correct.... It worked fine when I was on lollipop, but after upgrading to MM it does not provide any s/w link?? , I also get the same result when I use my "wife`s" G4 imei
I see people add links from the csmg.lgmobile.com that they have pulled, so what do I do wrong?? Any answers or help would be appreciated :good:
SOLVED : This did the trick :good: Thanks for the tip @Al0n :highfive: : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66671855&postcount=18

What part should i replace? Where should I insert the imei nr? Only got some Chinese/Korean lettering...??
I tried adding the imei in the end after dev? and also tried swapping the /dn/ part with the imei..? Sorry for the nooby question but I just cant figure out where i should add the imei, or am I supposed to add something else? Can you give me a example with a made up imei or something?

Thanks for the reply, but thats the problem, I dont get any download file anymore from any of the kdz imei check sites.... I only get the : "nothing found" respond... On both the imei numbers I have? But if I use the link I used in OP I get some info in return like the msn, model, prod.date etc... but nothing on the Software or the app info.... when I was on LP I got the SW download link, but after I upgraded to MM I do not get a SW link in return I did not think that upgrading was related to getting the link to latest FW/KDZ ?....
Should I not get the latest SW file that was available anyways?.. I just tought it was strange that I see people uploading links from the same place I got it with LP, and that now I just get nothing found.... But I gues I just have to realize, that I will not get the file I want , but thanks alot for the help I got really appreciate it
It stopped working a few months back. It no longer returns the link to the firmware.
Got it working :highfive: see OP or : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66671855&postcount=18

You must install the firmware from the mirror version (The mirror and the tablet like version have exactly the same internals) so the hardware is the same CM84, therein a 1.90 beta version that would work great, it has some better quality of life enhancements! on that thread I asked in Russian if I can flash that mirror firmware on my tablet like device, I flashed it and everything was ok! In case anyone is searching info, here is the thread from 4pda:
https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=792739
If you manage to make an account (there are tutorials on web how to solve 4pda Russian captcha to register) you will se a download link from a custom rom named CATS IV you can safely flash.
Hi Hardy, mind to share with me the firmware you used to flash your device? i bought this car cam from china and it does not come with google playstore and cannot install apk apps... hope you can assist me for the firmware. Thanks in advance.
Here do you have the download link from the latest CM84 firmware:
https://disk.yandex.ru/d/qhbWzQD43Q94GN
hey got a similar DVR android mirror. Was wondering if you could send CATs IV firmware? I don't see it on that website?
Hi, i have the same device, my son played with it and locked it by pin. Can't find a way to factory reset it.
If i enter recovery mode i get a android photo and can't go further.
Any help to reset the device?
I recovery mode I can't pass the image with broken android.

Note: without your carrier information and the software version you are looking for, it makes it difficult for members to provide anything definitive. Learn to be more specific when requesting help.
With that said, this site has a good selection of stock LG G4 H812 kdz's/roms: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h812-firmwares/
Scroll down to LG H812 Firmware List and choose the appropriate one to download. I have used it and recommended it many times. H81210 = Android 5.1 ; H81220 = Android 6.0
You should use LGUP-NEW only to begin with to flash whatever kdz you end up selecting. It is the safest tool to use until you know what you're doing.
You can download it from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803
Read the OP (original post by the author) and go through some other posts to learn how to use it.
You will find rooting information etc. for the H812 in this thread if you're interested:

I believe the letters indicate the timeline sequence of when the rom version was released - i.e., with X signifying the latest in the Marshmallow (Android 6) releases.

HI ALL, I have samsung 46mm watch (SM-R805U) I think it is a USA version, I am trying to connect it to Canada LTE with Telus. I have the service to add a watch with my telus plan, but anytime I tried to connect through the wearable app i get the error that the mobile service for this watch not available in this region.
I did some searching, and I found that I can do the region change through SDB, I was able to successfully connect to the watch but I only get the USA providers options (XAR, ATT..) no other regions networks.
Is there anyway I could have this watch to work on the Canadian LTE, even by flashing the watch or other ways to change the region?
Try to look into other Thread/s)...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/galaxy-watch/samsung-galaxy-watch-geo-locked-t4035549
You are NOT alone.
Working solution:
Sell your US device
Buy Canadian Version...
Sorry, NO joke.
This is easiest solution without wasting time...
Only if your are good in GSM Hacking... Reversing stuff...
Feel free to deliver your own solution.
Good Luck.
Best Regards
There is away to change the firmware through Net-Odin, which could be able to unlock the region, but I am not sure what Firmware to use or where to download?
Again.
Feel free to find your own solution.
Maybe you are trying hard enough or by luck...
But IMHO I am not total idiot...

Here is US device Firmware for SM-R805U:

From U like US IMHO somewehre free download... I can NOT remember for W like Cannada.
Simple Homework for you...
Unpack with Tool 7Zip the CSC...csc.img... then look with open eyes.
If you look correct, you will find Scripts for Preconfig...
These Files have nothing to do with the eSIM "Magic"...
IMHO the magic is minimum in CP part... Modem and/or on device...
I am from Germany.
I have not US nor Cannadian nor any European LTE Version...
So I can not do my own studies...
Nobody dump data...
Nobody log data...
Nobody share something...
Nor somebody do some Reversing Modem related...
For GWA2 some interesting files leaked... Modem related...
Good luck.
Please inform us if you have solution. :victory:

This is great thank you for the help, I will give the firmware in the second edit a try, hopefully it does not brick the watch!!
NO. Not flash!
You will 10000% create problem... because you have SM-R805U

Study... Research...
SM-R805U US USA NOT Cannada is here:

Maybe start with Lesson 1.
Download and unpack with 7Zip Tool.

thanks, I was able to update the firmware with the one in the link below. I did not have the UI update before but now it updates. Unfortunately the carrier list still did not change, I hope there is away I could change the region of the watch

Hey, so you never tried the firmware in the link? I actually have a 805W and I want to try flashing a different firmware to see if I can force an update. I'm on 4.0.0.0 on my 805W and can't get it to update to newer Tizen.

Hey adfree, I downloaded the 805W (I have this model) and extacted the tar, renamed the csc img to zip and extracted that (with some warnings).
Inside, there is a SW_Configuration.xml, but it only says
Code:
<CSCName>R805FAC</CSCName>
<CSCVersion>1ASA1</CSCVersion>
which is clearly not 805W. Is there another file I'm supposed to look at to see the actual CSC code?
Thanks
