I'm sorry if my questions are dumb or already posted
Here where I live (Indonesia) we only got LG G5 SE, I don't know what the model number is but Google said it might be H840
My question is, is it possible to unlock the bootloader and root this model number?
And are there any custom vanilla roms for h840?
Because I'm a long time nexus 5 user, and my nexus 5 is getting a lot of trouble now (battery quickly runs out, GPS not working, vibrate module dead). I just can't stand the LG's OS, I'm already used to vanilla android
And if it's not possible to get a custom rom for h840, I might not getting this G5 SE to replace my Nexus 5
I'm waiting for your answers. Thanks in advance
The G5 SE is a different phone, it doesn't have a Snapdragon 820, but a Snapdragon 652 SoC (IIRC).
So the ROMs for the regular G5 won't work, you need different drivers etc.
Currently, only the European G5s can be bootloader-unlocked, I assume that for the G5 SE it's the same. So you won't be able to unlock your bootloader, root your phone etc.
So if nobody unlocked the bootloader of the G5 SE via some hack, you will be completely out of luck.
My advice: Don't simply buy such a phone and assume that somebody will hack the bootloader. Only buy it if you can live with a non-rooted phone with the stock LG firmware.

Hi to all,I'd like to buy a mobile LG's G5 and I found it with code F700.But I also see that here at Greece it is selling code H850.So I'd like to ask if anyone knows about the differences between the 2 versions F700 and H850?What these code means?About the network or what?Just to mention that I've allready asked LG Official support at Greece and they don't know nothing to help about.
Is there any opinions?Thank You

Korean version (F700) vs. EU version (H850).
F700 can't unlock bootloader -> can't root.
H850 can root.
And the supported basebands are different between these 2 variants (you should google more).

If it's actually an F700 model number, the seller has no idea what he's talking about and/or lying to you. The only versions that have bootloader unlock are:
H850
H830
RS988
H840 SE
Out of the above models, only the h850, h830 and rs988 have root. Only the h830 and h850 have custom ROMs.
Hopefully this helps.
Hi and yes,your post is helping a lot.So I think the seller has no idea about LG5 and telling just what he think is good to sell.I am afraid I have to quit fron his store and find another one,more reliable.
Thanks for your post.

No problem. I don't want to see you buy something thinking you can root / use custom ROMs only later to find out you can't. A lot of sellers think that sim unlocked is same thing as bootloader unlocked because they have no clue, although some just simply lie to sell a phone they don't want too. Either way, best thing to do is research and ask questions first like you did. As far as the bands needed, I'd check Google to see what bands your carrier uses and then check to see if the h850 will work on those bands. Also, be careful when buying an h850 as it must be h850 EU market model (I don't believe they ever added support for carrier specific versions of the h850, bit not 100% sure).
@jeffsga88 H840 SE version has unlock bootloader,correct?Can I root it then if I buy it?

Yes, the 840 SE can be bootloader unlocked through lg although currently can not root or anything yet we there's still no TWRP currently. Once TWRP is built, root can easily be done. Also make sure it's 840 SE (non carrier version) as others with different 840 models weren't able to unlock and some were.
Volte on lg G5 f700
This question may be a bit off topic, but is there a way for me to enable volte on my phone?
I live in India but had a friend get me an lg G5 f700s from korea. I've checked in settings and couldn't find any options to enable volte.
Will it be possible if I switch roms? If so, where can I find a guide? I'm new to xda and don't know much about rooting/ switching rooms.
Thanks in advance! Also let me know if I've left out any details while writing this post.

Go to the hidden menu by dialing 5457#*700# and from there you should be able to enable that function.

Hello Moto Z community!
I was about to buy a Moto Z since the price I found is a complete bargain! (Around 190-200€)
But then I realized that it was the dual sim chinese version (XT1650-05) and then a few questions went to my mind...
1.- Would it be compatible with all the roms made for the single sim version? I would never use the second sim slot , I would use it for the sd card
2.- If I buy it, Will it come at least in english? (My first language is spanish, but I could use it in english)
3.- If I buy the gamepad moto mod will it work properly? (I mean in the stock ROM, in the Custom Roms I saw that only a few supports them)
I'm a little confusef about the models of this phone and I prefer to ask before buy and make a mistake!
Thank you in advance people, and excuse me If I commeted a fail in the text, as I said, english is not my first language
Now it *should* however, double check. Chinese phones usually have more restrictions and slower updates. I'd look for a XT1650-03 model if I were you.
It sounds like the XT1650-05 does not come with Google Apps.

I just bought this one - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LEL8ABY/ and it is a dual SIM 1650-03 RETAPAC model.
I'd already bought a 05, cause un my country I couldn't get a 03 and the 32gb (the one for the EU) is just too expensive and I couldn't buy it, anyway when it arrives I'll test if everything works correctly and then try to install another rom or try the method that is around for install the verizon nougat and later update it to Oreo. Thank you anyway
Hi All, I recently got my new LG V30+ H930DS Indian Variant. I searched the forum but could not found exact info how we can root and install custom recovery on the same?
Can someone please help me out here?
Sorry I am coming back to LG after 3 yrs of gap.. The LG device I used last time was LG Optimus G Pro..
Thanks a ton!
I'm sorry,you can't. If that is important to you, you bought the wrong V30/V30+ without researching first. Only H930, H930G (some of them), and open market LG US998 have unlocked bootloader (via the LG Bootloader Unlock website) with full fastboot flash commands. We've been telling people this since September 2017. The open market US998 V30+ should also have bootloader unlock and doesn't -- but that's another story.
The T-Mobile guys are still working on getting root for the H932 -- which has unlocked bootloader, but not full flash commands available. But all other variants like the H930DS have locked down bootloader.
I own both the open market US998 V30 and the V30+. One has root, the other doesn't. And yet the unrooted one right now is my daily driver, so it's a great phone even without root. Just change the launcher to Nova, add custom icon packs, use an add blocker like Blokada.
If you have updated to Oreo already, you can even use substratum themes. (I can't, yet, as I don't have Oreo yet.)
Dude.. In India, we get only one variant.. What could I do??
"Dude.. In India, we get only one variant.. What could I do??"
Well, you could have researched H930DS bootloader unlock and root here on XDA, so you would know beforehand instead of asking later.
No, you aren't limited to buying in India. My last phones before this (2014-2017) I bought from other countries, not the country where I live. I've seen people who bought other V30 who live in India.
My rooted V30 phone is not my daily driver, so the unrooted V30+ is still very good.
Anyway, I've answered your question.
Hi guys just bought a lg k4 2017 locked to telstra. what i would like to know is how to debrand the handset am i able to flash the unlocked models stock kdz on the handset ? Also where can i get the generic unlocked models stock kdz for this handset? I dont require root just need the handset to be free of the mobile carriers branding.
Sorry if this is the wrong thread if it is please move it, Thanks again.
