Yes you can if only the specs of your mobile matches with AT&T specs. But there is no guarantee that the baseband/modem files will match.

Great. I don't think there are any hardware differences between the k425 and the k428. I actually have both phones. However...I need the k425 (At&T) to be Tmobile (k428), none of my software will let me flash the K428 onto the K425. And I can't find K425 stock KDZ anywhere either.

You have to edit K425 DLL file using HEX Editor.

Okay I tried this method this morning. The software he used was for .TOT files. Apparently the K10 K428 only comes in .KDZ. I followed the steps none the less, but the rom would not flash. I tried FlashTool.1.0.54_lgbbs.net, LGUP and LG Flashtool. I only got "File extraction errors". On the lighter side, I DID get to use the WinHex software for the first time. Very simple stuff.
I'm still VERY interested in flashing the TMOBILE software on this phone. If you have ANY other suggestions I'm open.

not sure about D802 , probably not a gud idea ,
i have a sprint ls980 in india , im running 2faced rom and have rooted and unlocked it..
You'll brick your phone flashing firmware meant for another version of the phone. You can only use firmware specifically made for this device.

i want to know why the phone gets bricked when we flash some other version's firmware , is it some deep hidden hardware difference as gsmarena.com says specs are same only names are different (and possibly the firmware ).
is there a work around.
because in ideal case if hardware is same then software can be of any version.

"Specs" are the same but the actual settings/hardware used is different. VERY different. Everything is region specific and carrier specific. That is why.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LG_G2#Model_variants
Here you'll see clearer why they are so different.

so it means if we have the original kernal then other rom's can be flashed , in this case if LS980 have original kernal then D082 rom can be flashed .
Did you try it?

Downgrade From Lollipop to KitKat for Root

Hello everyone!
I'm reading all the guides on the net but im confused.
I have a d855 vith v20a, and i want to install custom rom for remove the lag and other nice things.
BUT.
I've seen that lollipop isn't rootable so i have to Downgrade to kitkat and then use PurpleDrake, right?
And after this i have to flash with Flashify a Bumped TWRP?
I've download this file : D85510g_00.kdz. I have to flash this with LG FLASH TOOL 2014 Right?
Wich setting should i have to use with this program?
And..there isn't something like a bootloader to unlock or something?
Thank you a lot all.

All of them are named like that what you need to pay attention to is the prefix it has, which in your case will be either A6IT or AHIT (surprisingly with a country code at the end), depending on which version of the G3 you have.
The A6IT is for the 16gig variant, downloadable from here, and the AHIT is the 32gig variant, downloadable from here.

Yeah I know the stock software is far from perfect. I used the original vodafone for about an hour, then got fed up with the bloatware, and moved to AndroidNow, which, as of now, runs decent.

H815L root?

Hello XDA.. I own an LG G4 (H815L Variant), and I am very interested in rooting my G4 H815L (Israeli variant).
however, I am extremely unsure whether any of the available rooting methods will work with this variant (by rooting I mean that I also need to unlock the bootloader and TWRP)
anyone know if any of the currently available methods will work with this model? as far as I know, from trying, the official method does not work just yet with the H815L.
thanks in advance to anyone who can answer.
yes i have it and rooted with no problem, follow the guide on the original android development forum.

and when it comes to the "command to run", do I download the file listed under the:
[ International H815 10c Version (NOT H815T, H815TR, H815P, etc - you will lose internationalization and possibly features) ]?
nevermind, figured it myself. thanks for the help! this post can be closed.
I made a rooted rom for H815L based on the Israeli 10c version & running it on my phone since yesterday.
Everything is like stock including all regional features (like RTL alignment & Hebrew on dialer)
if someone is interested i will upload it.

Hey, do you mind telling how did you figured it out?
I have 815P and I'd like to know how did you make it.
Did you use the International version? Downloaded from some official LG site?
Thanks!!

Well I did not use the official method. I used the method presented at this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/...-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765/
followed instructions to the letter, while downloading the drivers which are labeled: "All G4 (except Verizon) - http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime...Ver_3.14.1.exe"
and the Command to run I used was:
"International H815 10c Version (NOT H815T, H815TR, H815P, etc - you will lose internationalization and possibly features):
Code:
dd if=/data/media/0/system.rooted.H81510c-EU.img bs=8192 seek=55296 count=529920 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0
using these with the instructions the OP wrote in that post just got my phone rooted.
I do recommend that you do a little more research before attempting... would feel bad if you got your phone bricked.... cause as you can see, in the command to run he mentions not to try it one the H815P...
you better ask him which command to run you need to use before committing to this method.
I wish you luck friend!

From what I understood... the "etc" meant that all the H815 variants (H815L , H815T, H815P, and so...) can be considered as "NOT"
Did you notice anything wrong after doing it? Everything fine?

DO NOT use the method posted in general thread unless the rooted system is the same version as your current system.
If you have a f500l with 10a a rooted system was linked in the original dev sub forum. I cant try it since I soft bricked using method im recommending you dont use. Ymmv

That really sucks! I'm sorry to hear that. I imagine you'll get a solution before the Sprint users. Sprint doesn't believe in KDZs for some reason lol. You'll get one sooner or later.

Yes its a shame. I was having great fun with the G4.
Some users were able to flash H815 10b kdz but lose or have faint signal. So now I opened a thread asking for help backing up my modem(s). Perhaps safer to wait for possible kdz.

Your current software version would be helpful. If you never updated maybe. But if your running the latest version you most likely cannot root.

Read the OP carefully - first, you have to be able to rollback to Lollipop. If you can, see if you can find a pre-rooted version of your software, it will save you a lot of time. You can google root LG G4 H810 AT&T for more information, paying particular attention to XDA posts.
Good luck

Agreed ... but ... he can Google the dial pad code for his hidden menu for his phone and open SVC - I gather if it is higher than 1 then he will not be able to roll back. FYI: I did qualify with IF he can roll back ...
In any event, if he uses LGUP-NEW to flash a stock Lollipop image, it should throw throw up an error regarding the anti-rollback version roll back.
