indian vs hong Kong differences between LG G7 Plus - LMG710EAW

Are there any hardware differences? Can we cross flash HK with Indian firmware?
On Lg firmwares I see that the indian firmware has newer security patches...

Just installed Indian v10p but in software version it says v10p-LAO-Si.
What this LAO-SI means?

Another thing I observe is that this firmware is WAAAAY more snappy than the chinese one! Could the hong kong chinese firmware has some kind of spyware in it? Just cannot beleive how snappy and fluid this firmware is compared to the chinese one !!!!!!!!!

did you manage to anwser this questions??
is everything working ok with this indian firmware? i want to make the flash

Just upgraded a few days back to indian v10t feb 1 updates. Working flawless. Also they enabled usbc to hdmi. ?

I always expect China and rusian firmware to be full of spyware.

A50 indian firmware on Australian model

I would like to know whether we can flash Indian firmware on on australian model A50 (SM-A505YN).
Any help would be appreciated.

Nope ! First of all its not a F (Global variant) series like the India model. Secondly, you gotta a NFC device while Indian Model is non-NFC.

Here we have not yet got the April security patch. Would you recommend if there are any update from any other country that I could flash?

I would have easily recommended if your device was a "F" variant. Most of the devices sold in Europe, APAC are SM-A505F or SM-A505FN which isn't the case with your device.

Australia is really picky with the entre model numbers. G900I, T755Y, all the jazz. If you want, if you're on someone like Optus, you can try XSA firmware (Unlocked Australia) however still on your carrier. So, for example instead of OPS/OPS/OPS, you'll have XSA/XSA/OPS. Worth a try.

LG Up 1.15 is out there, but we don't have a working common. DLL file. The V40 has one, maybe that will work, but either way it's risky. Reading that the V35 lost radio signal when crossflashed.
Let's wait patiently. Don't try, it is very possible you will be able brick your BEAUTY!
I'm just fine with latest 11m update which brings 4K 60 fps Super Steady Mode. Also incredible battery life. 9 hours with 13% left.

Using LG V50 Korean KT version in UK (LM-V500N)
Hi All,
I have the LG V50 Korean KT version LM-V500N and have been using it in the UK on the Vodafone Network. Unfortunately it doesn't appear to connect to the 5G service.
Does anyone know if there is a limitation or incompatibility on this version as the reason it doesn't work with 5G?
My SIM is and 5G coverage is ok as I have also used a Samsung 5G and it works with my SIM.
I haven't yet tried an EE 5G SIM to see if it works on that network.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

EE doesnt work also.How is the korean version ?I am thinking to buy one from wonda.

Thanks for confirming EE 5G doesn't also work. I went to an EE shop and asked them to check if my V50 would work by inserting a 5G SIM but they refused. Most unhelpful staff.
I really like the V50, upgraded from V30 which I also really liked. Only problem is some KT specific menu are still Korean language.
There is one menu called GIGA 5G when enabling asks for KT SIM to be inserted.
Once it is possible to crossflash with open Europe firmware might fix this I hope. Also maybe 5G in Europe?
Thanks

You can try with lgup 1.16.0.3 and common dll 1.40. This LGUP does not permit for korean crossflashing, we dont know for EU/Australia. Try it using refurbished.

Well it can't be done.
Very disappointed I brought this to replace my note 9 and I cannot believe lg is still on July patch. At the moment they are a big joke in the phone world.
Does anyone one believe it will get more updates.
I have seen some one using Chrome across both screens like a tablet but can't work out how.

It should be way past July patch by now. Other people have received more updates than you

That's what I thought but I guess Australia doesn't rate.
They won't even allow me to put a European firmware on it. Also thought seperate keyboard on one screen was std .

What version of LG G7 should i buy for UK?

As title says which version of phone should i avoid on fleabay as i want to buy this phone. No one seems to answer this specifically :/
thanks

bump

You need european version, so G710EM (64GB) or G710EAW (128GB)

i get that i need the european version but the american handsets will work too and i've been told to avoid the Tmobile version at all costs.
i just needed to now which is the best variant from the american/canadian ones!
cheers

Canadian AWM version. Support more lte band (for UK and Europe) then USA unlocked ULM

thanks siley

only g710EM

now im confused???

Get the 710em that's what I got when I brought mine worked fine

I told him EM or EAW is best for Europe, but he want model from America so Canadian AWM is better.

I got the LM-G710EM version

I think is a crossflashed device. Mine is EM too, but came with open EU rom and it is a TIM device (italian carrier). Amazon things...
U can flash any firmw u want with lg_up 14-15, but with no ota support due to restrictions. U can always search ur region with ur imei in internet after a simple search on google, but if the device is from carrier... I recommend u a clean open eu kdz over any carrier firmware.

Thanks for the reply. We have version n9700, is it possible to play sw on another? Maybe Australia? USA? We have a snapdragon. But we have other frequencies. I understand I should have bought a better model ? but it was cheap. Here in the Czech Republic is Note with exynos and I don't want exynos.
