Hi everyone,
I just had a weird question,
Any version I flash using the LG Flash tool (KDZ), flashes fine but always shows 'global' under version unless I flash my own KDZ using my own IMEI, and then it shows HKG (original device is from hong kong), question is, how come when I flash a local version, such as sweden, italy or Israel it still shows global?
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)

Hi.All.I have cross flashed LG v40 Hong Kong version Rom Android 9 with the Korean Android 10 using lgup.
THE Rom was installed but I lost radio.no signal. So then on the advice of a friend I flashed partition dl modem a and modem from a eu version android 9 .and when the phone rebooted it shows security warnings and says all slots are unbeatable. Any way to put ut in download mode so lgup can identify.Any easy way out.thx

You need laf_a and laf_b partitions from HK 20a firmware
Then partitionDL 20a kdz
Then refurbish 20a kdz again to restore cellular.
Is there a way to identify region of LG V405EBW?
I did flashed both EU and HK KDZ but still no signal. I totally forgot to backup my firmware and now my phone has no signal
Come to lg v40 telegram forum to help. You
I have an unlocked, not rooted and factory OS Verizon(SM-G988U) with Android 10. I recently switched to T-mobile and was thinking to flash the firmware from Verizon to Tmobile to better use their wifi calling and other features.
Where can I get the latest files to flash the firmware? Also, to switch from Verizon to Tmobile, do I have to flash Verizon-->Unlocked(U1)-->Tmobile or can I do Verizon directly to Tmobile firmware? I read few threads but I was confused on what exactly I need to do.
I downloaded Odin v3.14.1 and latest Samsung drivers. Beside the firmware files and placing appropriate folders in BL, AP, CP and CSC, anything else I need to do?
Sorry for noob question but this is my first flash and was looking for exact steps.
Thank You
You need to go Verizon-unlocked-Tmobile. You'll want the patched Odin too. I use Frija to get my firmwares https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/tool-frija-samsung-firmware-downloader-checker.3910584/ but you can use sammobile as well.
Thank You. Is Frija 1.4.3 the latest version?
Also, the Odin I downloaded, the executable says "Odin3 v3.14.1_3B_PatcheD" which I suppose is latest and patched, right?
In the Frija, CSC, I got the Tmobile firmware as TMB. What is the code for the unlocked firmware so I can download it?
Also, do I need to root to flash the firmware from Verizon-->unlocked-->Tmob?
Noyou do not need root
In the Frija, CSC, I got the Tmobile firmware as TMB. What is the code for the unlocked firmware so I can download it?
Never mind found out.
SM-G988U1 , CSC- XAA for Unlocked
and
SM-G988U, CSC- TMOB for Tmobile.
Were you ever able to get WiFi calling to work?
I've tried to flash btu firmware on my fe 5g via odin and it keeps saying failed, I'm doing everything right because I use the same odin and frija download tool as my s20 plus, is there a different odin I should use? Also when I turn my phone on there's a "3" network logo appears, is my phone locked? I bought it cash from the shop itself, how do I flash newest firmware?
Whats the exact model number of your S20FE?
What version of android is on the device (including the baseband version, setting>about phone>software info>)
What version of the BTU firmware are you trying to flash? Android 10 or 11..?
