Can install EUR firmware like 10c or 10d ?
Or should I wait for OTA update
Thanx
please any one can help?
I have the exact same concern as you, due to the 10C-SEA-XX has ****ty battery life (or maybe it's just the phone...?)
I think it should be fine, but i'm not using a PC right now so i can't go through with the KDZ flashing steps.
Yes, It can be
like me, H815T-HKG 10b can flash to H815-EUR 10c
but I show up a warning about the cust is not the correct region
I am going to find a way to fix it (cuz I saw some rom can remove the cust warning
and it lost my volte and 4G+ function
thanx all , i flashed 10d-OPT2 and it is great , finally my touch work fine
long time lurker here.I bought a g4 second hand.it was advertised as h815 unlocked.the imei checked out online and all stickers said 815 as well.but in hardware info it showed h815T(HK variant).thankfully i knew how to flash firmwares so i downloaded a KDZ and flashed it with lg ft 2014.for some reason (i dont remember why) i flashed 2-3 times with other kdzs and ended up in the current state.the phone now shows H818(dual sim variant) in hardware info and doesnt
detect my sim card(same sim works fine in my G2).I never downloaded the h818 kdz.

i think is was misinterpreted. its a h815 but a h815t indeed and unlocked mean carrier as you know theres no way to unlock bootloader.. you need to flash the h815T KDZ. i hope that you didnt mess your imei.
inject only works in LP not on MM. also youll need to find out if you can downgrade to lollipop. as this phone have antirollback wich means once you are on a version you cannot go nack or youll hard brick phone.

thank you for the response.im on lollipop right now since ft 2014 doesnt flash MM and lgup and ft 2.0.1.6 stop flashing after checking phone info(they stop flashing as phone shows h818 but kdz is for h815).I flashed h815T kdz multiple times(twice just today)but phone still shows h818 in lgup and in settings.the phone cant be h818 as it only has 1 sim slot.
imei is ok right now.SIM issue happened to be a ****ty sim cut job by the customer service guy.only remaining issue is the wrong version showing up in phone settings. cant flash MM due to that.
also,is there anything good about upgrading to MM???

Actually MM isnt an upgrade. Lollipop is best(maybe nougat will be worth anything). I think you should flash uk v20g kdz with lg up(or LG firware flash 2014). I suggest using LG UP also you can give TOT method a try

Do they check in build.prop? If so just change build.prop value and you're good to go. I think that there is also possibility to fake your software version and then flash anything you want

Just posting this to have it here in XDA.
Some people may want to try flashing the Canada modem via patched LGUP or may wish to return to H933 stock at some point even after unlocking their bootloader, installing TWRP and rooting.
Wait a sec, I'm not understanding this. It gives us stock oreo? Will this allow us to unlock/root etc?

Not open market "stock" Oreo but "stock" Canadian H933 Oreo KDZ. No changes, nothing added or removed. It's not a custom ROM. It's just the Canadian Oreo KDZ rolled out for all Canadian carriers back in April.
No, it won't give you root by itself as there's no fastboot commands available on H933 -- but it may be possible to flash part of the firmware or modem back after converting to US998 and rooting in the WTF bootloader unlock and root thread. Much like the Sprint and Verizon guys did to get back LTE bands or Wi-Fi calling.
I don't know, just posting it here because it wasn't available here on XDA and the other places may disappear if anyone needs it.
Any chance to relock the bootloader after restoring the original H933 if I decide to go down that route?

@ChazzMatt, am I understanding this right that there isn't specific KDZ for each Canadian carrier version? So if I wiped, flashed this (I've asked about how to do that in another thread) then reboot and insert the SIM card, any carrier specific stuff would be applied?
What I'm getting at is Freedom Mobile says VoLTE and VoWIFI only guaranteed to work on a V30 that was bought from them. But if they are all the same and get customized by updates after joining the network, then it shouldn't matter as long as its a H933? They seem to be suggesting otherwise but that may just be a generic CYA for them to cover other devices that may actually have unique variants for different Canadian networks?

Yes, that is my understanding. All Canadian carriers use the same KDZ. When you add their SIM card, I belived that populates whatever features they have. (See my explanation below and a reason this may not work.)
This is also not the most recent kdz for Canadian phones. It's just the most recent one I posted; others are available.
https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h933-firmwares/firmwares/
Ignore that they also list carrier. I'll explain. Let's use OPEN ESA in SouthEast Asia as an example. India (IND) is part of the Open ESA region which includes Indonesia (IDN) and Philippines (PHL). An Open ESA KDZ has all the features of all the carriers in that region. If you install an open ESA KDZ which is labelled "Philippines" or "Indonesia" on an India H930DS phone, it automatically gives you INDIA LG service app as well as India carrier Jio VoLTE. Oreo KDZ for Open ESA region was available in those other two countries for almost two months before it was officially released in India. You could download the Oreo Open ESA KDZ online, install it on India H930DS, have Oreo. It would show INDIA build number, would be customized for India. BUT some India users kept saying, "But we want INDIA KDZ." I kept trying to explain, THIS IS INDIA KDZ! It's just not released in India yet...
Now, on that list above of Canadian carrier KDZ you can download, note that 20f FROM ALL THE CARRIERS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME SIZE. And they all have the same TITLE. WHY? It's exactly the same KDZ. :silly:
Now, here's the question I cannot answer. Was it an India SIM card that made India build number populate, India apps be installed -- or was it IMEI number? I think it's SIM card.
"Freedom Mobile says VoLTE and VoWIFI only guaranteed to work on a V30 that was bought from them"
"Will work" and "guaranteed to work" are two different things. "Guaranteed to work" means the'll even replace your phone if needed, and highest levels of technical and customer support. That comes if you buy phone from them. But if features populate on SIM card and not on IMEI registered to Freedom, then you don't need their phone -- just their SIM card.

@ChazzMatt
I am still not familiar with the LG tools and must be doing something simple wrong here.
My device started as an H933
I converted to an H998, oreo (20D I think) bootloader unlocked, rooted, twrp.
I want to return to stock H933.
I have installed windows drivers, LGUP, the dll, etc. So I can launch LGUP, and detect my device. I go to the main LGUP screen, select update, select the H933f file downloaded from above, and start. The phone goes to the Firmware Update screen. LGUP goes to 4% and then errors saying something like Error 4, not compatible with cross device H998 to H933.
I am using the LG common. Maybe it should be patched?
Thanks for any guidance

Yes, you need dev patched LGUP. You are converting (back) to another variant. You will DL PARTITION again via dev patched LGUP, just like when you did Frankenstein the first time.

Frustrated. Feels like every step forward, theres a new problem.
I downloaded the LGUP+V30DLL_PATCHED(5)
I installed the LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.2.0.exe
I launch LGUP and see the com connection. It says initializing and then I get:
DLL for US99820d is invalid. Please, install valid DLL package (*.msi). for the model.
I tried the LG_common DLL and got the same error.

Are you going into download mode before opening LGUP?
You did this before when your converted your phone. I'm curious why you're having to redownload, reinstall everything?

When I'm not in DL mode, it puts the V30 into DL mode automatically, then generates the error. But when trying to diagnose the problem, I did spot a reference (by you I think) saying to go to downloader mode before connecting, so I went back and did that. Same result. :crying:
The original install wasn't there. I have a MacBook so I borrow access to a PC for this.
Update: On the PC I uninstalled the LG drivers and all LGUP related software. I spotted LG Bridge so I uninstalled that too. I went into task manager and killed LG related tasks. I reinstalled the patched LGUP. I put the phone in DL mode connected and launched LGUP. A step forward! I tried the LG update with the H933 bin and it failed. I noted your reference to DL Partition above and switched to that with select all. It indicated success, but the device was in a boot loop, with the android guy flashing very briefly. I forced a master reset and it appears to be booting into the first time setup process. Restoring backed up files and data now.
@ChazzMatt
Ugh... As I said before, 1 step forward two steps back. I have lost mobile data connection in the process.
Tried so far:
Verify mobile data is on
Verify roaming data is on
Verify no data limits or data saver on
Verify Network mode is correct - GSM/WCDMA/LTE
Verified I am connected with good signal to the home network
Master reset
Network Setting reset
APN verification. Reset to default. Recheck they are what the carrier expects
Text to carrier for auto setup files (40001 - SIM and 41111 - setup)
Carrier tech support advised they have reset my network provisioning on their side
Tried another SIM card from the same carrier - Still no data connection.
I remember someone else posting about losing their data connection after flashing back to H933 or maybe just the modem. I will search for that but if anyone knows what to do or can point me to it that would be great.
Next Question: How do I go about relocking the bootloader on the H933? I'm only familiar with the fastboot oem lock command, but I don't think that will work? I'm wondering if I need to be flashing back to H998, relocking and then back to H933 again?
Once again, thanks for the help

I would look through here some good information about going back to H933. You would have to go back to firmware with fastboot commands if you want to relock your bootloader. But unless your selling it or returnkng for warranty purposes no real reason to relock.

Thanks! took a while to get it, but it worked eventually.
I don't know if this is the place to post this, but does anyone know if we can rollback to this firmware from the September 2018 H933 update without causing issues?
From what I'm reading, it shouldn't be a problem as when booting from download mode, we are essentially telling the phone it doesn't have firmware installed and to install the firmware we tell it to, correct?
