thnx
About bootloop issue,there is none.Only some lg "G4" were having this issue and not "G3".
Those g3s you found having this problem would be rooted and running some custom roms or kernels.
So don't worry about it and get the d855 variant.

you don't need the d855 - just be sure to buy one that's already unlocked or unlock it yourself before you flash to a custom firmware.
you can get it unlocked for about 10$....or a bit over that. check out unlockcellphonecode.org/shop/network-unlock-codes/lg-sim-unlock-codes/lg-g3-network-unlock-code/
i got my g5 unlocked there in about 10 minutes.

Hi,
I've got a brand new F180L phone with baseband version APQ8064/MDM9x15M and software F180L20s.
After searching forums I still cannot make heads or tails of this phone...
My questions are:
Can this phone be flashed to work on US T-Mobile network?
If yes, what is the maximum data rate possible?
Is there a good tutorial on how to do it? It appears this phone can be hard bricked by flashing wrong radio so I would like to avoid such mistakes.
I live in the "upgraded" area with 1900MHz frequency re-purposed.
Thanks in advance!

Hi there,
I am having the F180L and have flashed the E975 european version on it. It is working as good as stock, no issues so far in India with 3G, HSPDA or 2G (we dont have 4G yet). And ofcourse, all korean crap gone
The process is failrly simple, you just need to read through the forums, there is everything written here.
From here you can find the ROM's just pick one near to you; may be Europen E975 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2093382
Then use kdz to flash it on to your phone. No need to root your phone or else. Use google to find how to.
Root your phone
Then flash baseband of F180L;

I hope it helped

As I see, problem still is there. If your F180L worked before, works after.

First of all, 10m is your software version, not model number. The 10m just means you are on firmware version 10m. Seeing as you bought your phone in Taiwan, you most likely have an Asian variant such as the F400 or F400k. You may possibly have an international D855, but it's impossible to tell from your picture. Take your battery cover off and let me know what model number you see on the sticker under the battery. The same model number should be plastered all along the inside edges of the phone once the battery cover is removed as well. Like I said, it should be F400, F400k, D855, or something similar. Please let me know.
Thanks for your help. I looked behind the cover and its a D855. So when i search for compatible roms and stuff i should look for that model numer? Thanks for patience with ny ignorance man lol
Ok so thanks again for ur quick help. Ive done alot more reading now and im ready to root my phone, one thing ive had trouble finding is the stock firmware for my device if anything should go wrong or if i want to dl the OTA lollypop update i just received in the future. My current firmware is v10m-TWN-xx and i havr d855 16gb, i could only find the 32gb version. Would really appreciate it if someone lets me know where i could get the 16gb. Thanks guys!
Hello my friends
I just had arrived in Canada with my D855P bought in Brazil... I had flashed it with a UK v20e and I can't get LTE working with Rogers. Does anybody know what I need to do ?
Thanks a lot !

Im pretty sure LTE will not work. Best thing would be to check if APN for rogers is right. Or try to trade for d852. Where in Canada are you?

I`m in BC
Unfortunately I won`t be able to change my phone now... since the hardware is pretty similar i thought that it could work :crying:
I was wondering if is it possible to flash the D852 rom into a D855P device... And if something wents wrong if i could flash it back. Does anybody knows ?

You cannot. And if you do , you could end up with a brick. That flash tool checks model in build prob i think , thats why if you flash wrong rom it will not work restoring with flashtool

@hmaqueda I have a D855 and can confirm that LTE works on Rogers/Fido. From my research the D855P is capable of connecting to LTE on Rogers (LTE Band 7 [2600 MHz]). I have written a guide over in the General section, here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-enabling-lte-d855-flashing-t2878434
If you have any problems, please let me know. Hope this helps!
Hi all,
I just receieved my new LG G3 from Vodafone Australia. It's currently charging but upon inspection it has a model number which I hadn't noticed when I was researching the phone (LG-D855V).
I've attached pictures of the box, manual screens from the phone referencing the model number. Does anybody know what the difference is etc?
I'd say the V is just for Vodafone. You should DEFINITELY get to flashing a newer rom or doing an OTA update asap. That's the base rom for the phone, v10a. The latest 4.4.2 version is V10L I think. Alternatively, you can go to Android L. There's a dedicated LG G3 Australian Owners thread in the general section if you need help from any of us

Ah makes sense I guess. I've checked the hardware and it all seems identical to the D855. I came from a Nexus 5 with L and I'm already missing it so I'll definitely be looking to get an L rom on there.
Will take a look at the thread and do some reading. Thanks for your input.
did you get a gift?
optus is just d855; free wireless charger
telstra is d855k; free g watch
to clear confusion - you can flash d855 roms, the letter v doesnt matter. it confused me when i got mine lol.
DO NOT UPDATE IF YOU WANT TO ROOT!

Looking to buy a new phone, settled on the G4, gonna make sure I get a revision 1.1 and a 603 serial phone.
I am gonna be on MetroPCS so let's keep that in mind.
Really need help chosing, I am looking at the 815 and the 811 along with US991.
Any help would be great.
Or if you had a phone suggestion below $350 that would be comparable or better please share.

So you would suggest the 815 then.
the h815 from the specific countries on that list are the only ones with unlockable bootloaders. if you buy an h815 from a region not on that list you cannot unlock it and thus cant have twrp, custom roms, etc
The H815 or international version is the best choice ...LG is giving u the files to unlock ur bootloader ...theres are many roms out there u can flash and try ....And I m talking from personal experience i have a H815 and i have already flash 3 different roms and i have unlock my bootloader and didnt encounter any problems at all ....A friend of mine bought another h815 and encounter a bootloop after a official software update but after a factory reset all was working good ....i live in europe ....

id say go with h811... if you unlock bootloader you warranty is over... if you buy international if something happens you must send back phone for repair...to what ever country you get it from according to the list that can be unlocked... not sure if you buy in the states the h815 comes with no warranty. either..
