Hello evryone! I've just bought an unlocked LG Optimus G Pro. This phone is the AT&T version, but since it's unlocked, and i use it in europe, there are lot of useless apps in it, and it doesn't contains the language of my country (Hungary). I want to change the android for the version what the factory unlocked phone has. Can anyone help me? I've already found a link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2438088 but i'm not sure that this is what i'm looking for.

You can flash this kdz file at: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+Optimus+G+Pro/Stock/Panama+E980H/
Thank you! I have some other questions too.
Thank you very much! So this is the international version for unlocked phones right? I just checked the software version in my phone and it's running on E9810p. And one more question, the unlocked software version contains all the default android languages? I just found here a file for my country, its in the HungaryE986 folder on the site what you linked (i can't put there links because i just registered yesterday sorry.) but it's number is E98610E. So i don't know it is compatible with my phone or not.
I created this thread to link all stock ROM's for LG Spirit, namely H440N, H440Y, H422 and H442F variants of it.
If you have any question ask it in LG Spirit General Thread (author @polfrank ) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/lg-spirit-h440n-thread-t3108435
All ROM's should be listed from newer to older so be warned. Also whenever I can,I would write from which mobile operator it is and from which country.

Changelog
Update #1 (20.06.2015 @ 3:05 CEST)
Started thread
Added v10c_00 based firmwares on list

I would like to ask:
If anyone has done the update via OTA it would be nice to see the changelog and know what's new and if an update is worth the time.
Changelog
Update #2 (20.6.2015. @ 21:34 CEST)
Added v10f_00 Indian kdz for H422 variant of device
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
@polfrank yeah it would be nice to see what are changes, but unfortienatly I can't see that because I'm pulling kdz files from few trusted sources which don't say what is new
Are these kdz files derived from the LG site using IMEI codes?
Changelog

Added support for H440Y ROMs
Renamed thread to add support for H440Y phone
Added v10d_00 Taiwanese ROM to list at H440Y variant of phone
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
@ShinOrochiX seems that all kdz files are collected via IMEI code from LG site and all should work great no matter of your IMEI
Also if somebody find newer variant of ROM for any of named devices in first post and in thread name contact me via PM or post link here in thread so I can edit #1 post
Changelog

Upgrade or clean install? I mean CSF Flash or Normal Flash via LG Flash Tool? I ask that because I want to do Normal flash without wiping anything (it is annoying to set up 5 different e-mail addresses for 5 different things like college, private, hangouts, youtube etc)

Normal flash. It keeps all your data with no problem. You just have to reroot and set xposed again.
LG Spirit H440N Stock rom
Hello everyone.
I have a sim free LG Spirit H440N handset. I got it free of charge from 3UK, who sell all their phones unlocked. Unfortunately, it has a 3 splashscreen on boot, and other 3 stuff built in. Is there a stock rom available, that has none of the 3 bloatware in it? If so, where is it, and how do I flash it? I would rather not root the phone if I can help it; although I will do so if it is necessary. Is there a method to return it back to the 3 version, if necessary? I have rooted phones before, and installed custom roms, etc; but not for a while. I thank you in advance for any help you may be able to offer me.

Hi,
I also have the Three customised firmware-I don't like it either. There is a way to download the firmware, check here. As for firmware without Three's crap in it we'll have to wait for a non-network UK retailer to list it, then if we can get an IMEI, be it from a store display unit, we can download and flash that firmware (when it becomes available). But I don't know if anyone other than Three will sell it, Three has had it for about 2 months even though it was exclusive to them only for 1 month.

Thanks ShinOrochix. So nothing to do but wait then. There's no need for the stuff that 3 put in the phone firmware. It doesn't have a huge memory to start with, and these extra files are just an unnecessary inconvenience.

Yeah, useless bloatware. I just got rid of some of it but am stuck with the bootscreen, rather not root the device yet. As for memory, your right, with all my stuff installed I got just under 2GB free, had about 4GB on my previous Xperia-but who's to complain, the Spirit is a great phone.
I'm in the same boat as you. I debloated as much as I could, but I can't get rid of the bootscreen. The 3 logo sits there for ages. I downloaded a couple of boot animation changer apps, but they didn't work. Perhaps the apps were set to look in the wrong location for the stock boot animation. More investigation needed into the phone's file structure, I reckon.
Hi, I'm Italian and I bought this phone today. On "ABOUT PHONE" I can read version "V10C" but I don't know if is really V10c, or v10f. I want only a stock italian firmware NO BRAND!!! I hate all that apps by TIM!!!
Which firmware do you suggest me???
Hi guys, I have found this site......can be useful???
http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=168
Hello. In this site it is being claimed that there is a v10d version of the firmware for LG H440N. (I know the picture of the phone is wrong, but it seems they got it right on which smartphone they're talking about...)
http://www.hanfei.name/kdz-download...-v10b-v10c-v10d-v10e-v10f-stock-firmware.html
In gaodi.net there has been a V10d version a while ago but it was only in some weird versions like Spain Orange, Portugal Orange, Poland Optimus (see here) so I haven't tried it. Has anyone tried it? Is it really v10d or is it like the others, where v10e=v10b and v10f=v10c ?? So maybe v10d is actually v10a??
Morning, everyone.
I'm in Japan and just got the X2 H4233 variant. Seems like AOSP isn't supported for this variant (I looked all over Akihabara for an American or international phone, but to no avail.) anyhow, what are my options for rooting and ROMS? I'd really like plain old Android.
Thanks!
You should try the AOSP made for H3113, many people reported that also worked for other variants as H3123
Thanks! I just checked out the thread and it might not work. H4233 is a dual sim model, so I may have to wait until someone builds one for this variant or at least one with dual sim.
On the bright side, I learned that I can unlock the bootloader, so I should be able to root it. However, I'm still not even sure if I can install TWRP.
Also you can ask in the forum if someone else tried with the same variant that you have
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xa2-ultra/help/unlocking-bootloader-rooting-t3762968/page20
In this forum, you can read that the TWRP for XA2 works on the XA2 Ultra, probably will in your variant and also there are instructions how to root your phone
Seems someone recently tried it and it works. That's one step closer!
Oops. Double post.
Hi, it is possible and safe to change the firmware of LG g8s g810ea to g810eaw? I thought about flashing new firmware with LG up.

I know nothing about the G8s, never owned one, but generally speaking, pretty sure changing the firmware is much the same as the G8. There are some no no's, like if you have dual sim to single sim, or vice versa, but you don't say anything about the firmware you're referring to... it might help to know why you want to change, iow, what are you trying to accomplish?
But more than likely, it shouldn't be a problem. I'd suggest first to ask on the tele group for the v50 / G8 devices, they are more international experience there and will be more certain. Cheers
Thank you for a quick answer. My LG G8s is a g810ea version. I won’t to flash g810eaw firmware because the are fresher builds. Newest build for eaw is 30c from 7/2022, when ea 30a is from 12/2021. Also LG Germany declared Android 12 update. Morover I couldn’t find setting for VoWifi and Volte. All firmwares are meant for LG G8s, which is available in 3 versions g810ea, g810eaw and g810ra.

From what I can see on the firmware pages, should be okay. Always keep in mind that ea individual rom has certain bands enabled, so be sure the bands it has will meet your needs.
Also, vowifi and volte are dependent on your carrier, not just the phone. The G8s is capable of both, but if your carrier doesn't allow them then there's no way to make the work. And, some carriers (like US at&t), only allow it to work on their phones - or at least that was the case at one time.
It's always best to flash an 'open' version Rom, if there's one available with the bands you need, and your carrier allows a phone on their network that isn't running their specific rom (usually an mvno type carrier is best).
cheers
Hello,
I will try to keep this short and sweet.
I am on US Mobile using the black sim (verizon towers) and currently have a LG v30 that no longer can make calls due to Verizon shutting down cdma beginning of 2023.
I have my brothers Lg G8 ThinQ phone purchased from US Cellular. It is now rooted and I followed this guide to add LTE support for other carriers:
[GUIDE] [NO ROOT REQUIRED] [EPIC UPDATE] How to add VoLTE support for other carriers to the G8 (and other Qualcomm powered LG devices too!)
This guide will not work if you are running Android 12 :( I'm gonna keep the intro simple, been a longtime user here on XDA, and recently I found that my T-Mobile LG G8 only supported VoLTE and VoWifi on, you guessed it, T-Mobile! So I did some...
forum.xda-developers.com
I used the mbn files provided from the guide and loaded a few of the US carriers. Upon putting in the sim, and trying to change settings to get it to work, I can only get data to work but texting/calling (in/our) does not work at all. When attempting to make a call, the 4G indicator also disapears. I contacted US Mobile thinking it maybe was a APN issue but they stated on their end that the phone is incompatible.
Not sure what else to try. My only hunch is maybe reloading mbn files from a downloaded KDZ but I have no clue if that will work (also to download 5 gigabytes takes a few days for me).
Any help is greatly appreciated.
attached is both the phone info and a snapshot of PDC of it showing VZN got activated on the phone with the sim in it.
EDIT:
For if anyone else comes across this. My solution was to crossflash (using the guide in the LG G8 fourms) the open market KDZ and I went with G820QM30c_00_NAO_US_OP_0103.kdz as I had android 11 already installed and that it was the A11 version download the most from here: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-lmg820qm-firmwares/
I did have to correct my FTM partition but that crossflashing guide links to some good solutions.
*Note: Only issues that I have seen with the version i flashed is i cant add an APN. The button is just missing so had to install an app to view it, and when receiving gifs, they turn into pictures only. both things I can live without as not volte works on verizon (us mobile).
So, which rom would normally work with that carrier? I'd guess the us open version would work, why not just flash that on the G8? I've no idea what bands us cellular rom supports, but I'd trust the correct rom (for the current carrier) to work rather than following that thread to 'add bands'.
I used that thread once, didn't accomplish what I wanted. Not to say it doesn't work, I didn't try that long. But have flashed numerous roms re diff carriers, that always does what it should re correct bands.
Frankly, I am not sure if my reply will be helpful, and I know nothing about the US Mobile specifically, but just wanted to comment as an owner of a G8 originally from the US Cellular. Feel free to ignore this if it seems irrelevant...
I bought my phone second-hand with an original US Cellular A11 stock ROM. Later cross-flashed it to the Canadian Open when A12 became available. Rooted with Magisk. I am using the phone on the Rogers network in Canada. On both ROMs I have no issues with data, voice and text - everything works, including concurrent voice calls and data usage.
A (possibly) dumb question - have you tried the original US Cellular ROM as is, before diving into the guide to add LTE support for other carriers? Is there a chance that it would just work?
Regarding the previous reply, I couldn't find a US Open ROM available for the 820UM models (only for QM), but you could try Canadian Open, for example. My point is to try and make it work with one of the ROMs as is, without messing with some extra steps that may or may not work.

Yeah, I guess i understood that as being able to add the functionality. But after more research, flashing a different rom is more likely to be the solution, which confuses me about adding profiles if it doesn't truly work?

So yeah, after more research, looks like flashing either the open market or the verizon specific variant would work. I did try it first without any modifications to the us cellular rom but still not everything worked. I have a Lg v30, but few things that are no longer ideal was the recent CDMA discontinuation from verizon at the start of this year, also had recently dropped it and the screen flashes bright white light in your eyes at random times... so lol, not ideal.
What Im probably going to be trying when I get the time is flashing the open market, and if that dosent work, it seems the verizon specific would.
Thanks both for the inputs!
