Hello. New to XDA developers. I recently bought an m8 in Nairobi, Kenya. Runs on android KitKat 4.4.3. There's a link where HTC has uploaded ROMs for android M for the m8, with links for the different carriers. When I bought the phone from the dealer I used a Safaricom line straight out of the box and it didn't need unlocking so I assumed it was an international/unlocked version. However, after looking up the IMEI on some online checker, the part with the Model says; HTC ONE (M8), 0P6B120 (AT&T [US]). Does this mean its an unlocked AT&T version? There's also an option for Unblock This Phone on the checker. Does anyone know any other reliable way for finding out the carrier version?
Plug phone to computer (with fastboot environment setup) then do fastboot getvar all, to find product name, CID, MID, etc.
Delete IMEI and serial number, if you post the getvar output here.

The fact it was not carrier locked is in no way an indication of the carrier version. Any version can be unlocked with the SIM unlock code (then put back in the box as "new"). And a good number of versions come SIM unlocked out of the box.
Hello, I have just bought LG G3 from Amazon, and its been a week and I updated to MM manually using LG UP, but now the phone is locked and says cannot be unlocked. tried everything but not luck.
I read everywhere that it is the thing with ROM, changing the ROM wont do anything. But my question is before I update my ROM my phone was working fine ie it is unlocked but now if ROM wont do any problem how my phone get locked and says permanently locked and cannot be unlocked.
Locked by what? Knowing that wwoul make easier to search for possible ways to unlock... McAfee?

Hi
I have LG G3 D855 on android 4.4.2 and tried to update it to android 6 but I got a message saying "the device is not registered yet" so I tried to update manually by LGup but it always stuck on 6% and an error message appears I dont remember it but I think it was saying that there is a problem in the partition: cust
Then I tried with LG flash tool 2014 and it stuck on 2% and says "remove the battery and try again" but to no avail
Then tried to unbrick/unroot it by LG flash tool_v1.8 using tot firmware and it stuck on 6% again and shows an error message saying " partition change Fa..." (it's cut off, but I'm assuming that last word is 'fail')
So help me please because I can't use my phone anymore :crying:
How can I flash it now ?

Usually lg flashtool shows error just ignore it your phone will flash. But if you said it stuck then please check the driver. Also you saw in the phone screen it"s working or not.

Thank you so much for your help
I went to a service centre and they tried to fix it but in the next day they said that they couldn't flash it
So I tried again using LG flash tool and something weird happened the flash tool said that my model is d851 !
I don't know how but I flashed tot files for D851 and it worked again!
I don't know what they did and how they changed the model but it is working
So thank you so much guys for all your help
A little question : what's the difference between D855 and D851 ?
And I heard that there are locked and unlocked phones so how can I know if my mobile locked or not?

855 : international version. 851: T-Mobile U.S.A version.
to know if your phone is unlocked insert different different sim cards. If they are accepted the phone is unlocked, otherwise it is locked to a specific carrier.

OK , thank you so much for your help
Sorry for jumping this old thread.
I have the exact issue. Tried to upgrade brand new D855 32GB from Kitkat to marshmallow using LGUP, device has been rebooted to download mode / firmware update. LGUP fails with an error that it cannot find partition : cust. Google was not very helpful about this error.
Tried multiple times without any help.
Also tried to flash TOT using LgFlashTool, and getting the same error about the cust partition. Note that in all retries, on the phone screen, while trying to flash, there progress never passed 0%
Tried hard reset but it doesn't help. Device is now always being booted into firmware update screen.
Appreciate your help, there is nothing more frustrating than getting a new device and brick it on the same day.
Alright. Where do I start.
I want my phone to work with Wind network here in canada. I have the LG G3 D852 locked to bell/Virgin mobile, running androind 6.0 MM
I've already purchased an unlock code to use with any SIM, and this does work, however, being that it is the D852 variant, and not the D852g variant, the baseband is locked for this cellular network modem- wise.
My attempts to rectify this was to flash it with a stock D852g, as the hardware is the same, the only difference being Bell's desire to shaft you up the A**.
Anyway, I first went about this by using the LG Flash tool to flash the D852g .tot onto the phone using download mode, however, that failed. It said "Hardware Mismatch error" in the LG flash tool.
Then, I went about trying to flash the original D852 .tot, but with Android 4 or 5 instead of MM. Same Issue- Hardware Mismatch error.
So i resorted to downloading Kingroot, which achieved temporary root, and flashing TWRP.
This works, untill I try to boot into TWRP recovery. (This issue is present with both 3.0 and 2.8) When I reboot, it says signature check fail, or something of the sorts, and the phone screen goes blank, and i'm left with warning flashing lights.
HOWEVER, if I restart the phone, it boots normally.
How can I flash TWRP so I can get a custom rom, or just a D852g stock rom on here so I can utilize the addidional basebands and NOT have to buy a new phone on tab from one of Canada's draconian phone companies?
Is this even possible?
You cannot flash a ROM for a different model. The d852's hardware is the same as the AT&T D850 model but flashing a d850 ROM will brick the phone. I'm surprised your phone even boots for most people flashing the wrong model hardbricks there phone. Also what carrier are you trying to switch too?
And the d852g has almost no ROM support anyway.

I am trying to switch to WIND. I thought that I could flash a normal d852 rom, with an older version of android using download mode, and then just add in the radio baseband packages so it actually works with their network. But it won't let me flash a normal d852 rom either, it always boots into android 6.0 mm.

On the D852G you can flash any D852 rom (I'm doing it right now with fulmics and I've done it with nearly every rom available here on xda)

Hello, I just bought a G710ULM off the bay and verified the model before purchase. I received it and the software verifies it's a G710ULM but a IMEI check shows it's a PM (Sprint). So the software is still on V10b with no updates coming. I'm thinking this is because the update checks the IMEI and sees it as a Sprint device even though the software says G710ULM. I see a version on LG's site for 11e, is that the latest version? Trying to figure out if I'd been duped. The seller is a MAJOR seller and I'm thinking they are getting these as new Sprint units and LG or someone is reflashing them. I might be all wrong but 2 different IMEI checkers say it's a Sprint.

G710ULM owner here on Project Fi, the latest version is M10g. Updated to it about a week ago. Your phone may just need some time, or you can try using the LG Bridge software on a computer to update the phone over USB. Otherwise, it may just be a carrier thing.
I tried Bridge but when I check for update it gives an error. Wondering, when you check you IMEI does it show up as a G710ULM ? thank you
I got the same problem, got it on ebay, In settings the model is G710ULM, but the real model is G710PM. I also try updating via LGBRIDGE i aslo get the same error. Trying to get a KDZ file but i just cant find one and i don't know if putting another region firmware would work. There's a youtuber that had sprint LG G6 and just changed the Firmware (used one from canada, it work and also UNLOCKED all bands for world wide use).
Same ebay phone Same issue here with no s/n showing hardware is fine unlocked running tmobile usa.. Signal seems bad. Never see 4glte icon only 4g , H, G. Hopefully we can flash to some other firmware to get lastest update.Right now running v10b-Lao-COM firmware i guess thats sprint rom

I did flash mine, had the ULM software with SECURITY PATCH MAY.... What i did is download ULM 10g file from website, used LG-UP to flash it, But first you have to create a DLL file for LG-UP for this to work, if not you going to a error on LG-UP when you hit START.

Yes, the G710ULM firmware 10g that's the project FI(I used another link, not the same you posted, but it should work). I was running the same firmware V10b-LAO-COM, The project FI, was the only one I could find (ULM), so that's why I decided to use that one and because I read on Google that those phones are unlocked. I don't have the steps, but I could make a post in a few hours. And also it's still unlocked, using it outside the US. (I got this one on eBay unlocked version, but it's Sprint).
Does it work with Sprint now? I have the same story - bought "unlocked" g7 on eBay, shows G710ULM in settings but IMEI shows as Sprint phone.. Was working on Tmobile but when I activated with Sprint it doesn't read the SIM.

Well I think it really depends on you, maybe you should return de device, if Sprint doesn't work.... On eBay it said "UNLOCKED". So if it does not work just return it... I am using the phone outside the US.
