Hi All,
I'm trying to track down a KDZ file for Android 6.x for the F700L LG G5. Any will do.
I've upgraded a F700L from 6.x to Nougat, but in doing so, it's killed LTE - which was working fine in 6.0 - fyi I'm based in Australia, so no doubt the LTE bands havent been tested etc in 7.0 for Aus networks.. and for whatever reason, the baseband/modem in 6.x works fine, but 7.x reverts to 3G at best..
All the files I can find online seem to be on either Korean or Paid forums. (usually in Korean).. so I'm having a pretty tough time finding a stock marshmallow android kdz for the F700.
The only one I've found is F700L10k_00_0422.kdz . - but I can't flash this from LGUP.. gets stuck @12%.
This might be either the KDZ is damaged etc.. or maybe it's just not possible to downgrade using LGUP and a KDZ..

It may also be that you can't downgrade from N to MM. At least on the h830 version you can not downgrade from N to MM unless you downgrade the bootloader first, but you need root for that and F700 doesn't have root. So, take a look at the thread labeled LG firmware and see if you can find but if it keeps failing to flash, I'm assuming it's probably because it won't downgrade. Also on N, makes sure the APN settings are 100% correct as the N update for a few versions changed the APN settings and we're causing issues with LATE, but you could fix it wit by changing the APN settings. I'll try and look for any links for you and post if I find.
Edit: Here's a link with the kdz for the F700L model.

If you're unable to flash those then it's most likely due to not being able to downgrade.

Hey guys
I have finally managed to fix my V10 after installing H901 software on my H960A machine. It was a pain in the arse, but now I'm finally back on H960A
However, since installing the stock FW, I haven't got an update. When I check manually, it says the software is up to date, even though it's on 5.1.1.
It's a Switzerland version of the stock software and I'm in Slovakia btw.
Now, the question is: will I eventually get the update, or should I find and install another version of the stock ROM?
Cheers
Hi everyone,
I need a stock rom for my phone. Before update OTA firmware 450MB (camera improvement) I have stock rom version v10a-222-10. After update, my stock rom version v10b-222-10. Where can I find this version of rom v10a-222-10? I check this site... //lg-firmwares.com/lg-h840-firmwares/
Hi !
You can find stock rom on the link you provided. Then, you have to use LG Up with Uppercut :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/uppercut-lgup-loader-g5-variants-t3511295
I manage to downgrade from 7.0 to 6.0 (even if it was a bit difficult). Btw, may i ask you a question : why do you want to downgrade ? This update seemed to be good, plus it bring february security patch and camera improvement.
I bought the lg g5 se one week ago and i also get this update !
I always think that the new update stock firmware more demanding than the old stock firmware... Correct me if I'm wrong? Phone works well, but it's the only reason why I want to do this...
Which version you download and installed? Can I install other stock rom from list? Can i install this version H84010b_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0222.kdz? Does not exist this version H84010a_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0222.kdz?

Hello, I would suggest you to download the newest version from v10, i mean the following versions of v10a( v10b and so on) so if v10b is the most recent version of v10 then go for it. If you have the chance to download v10c for example, go for that one
Have you tried any of these versions? Which version do you use?

you need LGUP + uppercut to able to flash H840
and a firmware from https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h840-firmwares/ in KDZ, which is official format from LG
it's no Austrian firmware there (my phone from Drei), while exist from other EU countries(my last update was from 2017-03-08 - and it's Italian, UK there)
also exist a Android 7(H84020xxx) for EU/SouthAmerica
upd: ROM is the same for all EU, but it's include additional software from mobile operators, which is different

Hi. Can flash LG G5 H848 with LG G5 H840 ROM?
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-c7/SM-C7000/TGY/download/C7000ZHU3CRI5/236514/
But it might be t-mobile rom. I flashed one of open china oreo roms (and it was awesome except chinese stuff) and when i was downgrading i chose the lastest 7.0.
When i flashed the firmware, i realized that it was a t-mobile rom and had t-mobile's settings section (i couldn't even get signal).
Can someone confirm that this is not a t-mobile rom?
No its not tmobile i have updated via software upadte ota. It works fine. No signal problem.C7000ZHU3CRI5

since i update my c7000 to 8.0 oreo android it has been freezing but my task will keep on working normal but i cant operate until i press the lock key and open it back again. Astime goes on the level of it freezing become frequent what should i do please
Hi Folks,
According to the documentation I have, the FCC ID should able to be located by navigating to the Regulatory & safety item within Settings. There appears to be 2 options for locating this item. It is supposed to be displayed either under the General tab or in the About phone category of Settings.
However, it is not to be seen. Even doing a search doesn't reveal it.
The phone was new in a sealed box and has Android 7.0 installed with an Android security patch level of 1 November 2016.
Has anyone else had this problem and was able to solve it it?
Thanks!!
I can see the setting exactly where you said on my G5, with Android 8. Have you tried updating the phone to Oreo to see if you can get the info you need? Don't expect much, it only shows very basic info, at least on the OPEN_EU version.

Thanks!! for the feedback.
Very interesting. Are you the original owner of your phone? If so, did it already have Oreo installed when you bought it? The documentation I previously referred to was from 2016 but Oreo was released in August 2017.
The LG SN & Carrier & Country Check, provided by IMEI.info, indicates it is an Israel variant and is associated with a Carrier in Israel (Carrier Code: ISR, Carrier: ISRAEL) which does not seem to make sense given that the phone was in a Sealed Box and supposed to be Unlocked. The same report also indicates it as having a Firmware File of H85030e_00_OPEN_IL_OP_0206.kdz and Firmware Version of H85030E_00 which indicates Android 8.
The list of Firmware, on the LG-ROMs website, also correlates with the Firmware File mentioned above.

However, I'm not sure if the phone, I have, is a UK or Israel variant. The preselected Language was English. Preinstalled apps, such as Evernote, Facebook & Instagram, correlate with UK and Israel variants according to the respective User Guides. If it was an Israel variant, why wasn't the preselected language Hebrew one would be inclined to ask. The Israel User Guide contains both Hebrew and English versions.
After running an HDMI Connectivity check, the next step is to try an OTA (Over-The-Air) Update. The phone is in Oz. Would there be any problems attempting an OTA update for a phone that is not in its original region?
Does your phone correlate to the details on the following page which indicates a Region of EEE?

I'm making an educated guess that the "EEO", in the File name H85030e_00_EEO_GB_OP_1121.kdz, refers to the OPEN_EU version that you mentioned.
Thanks again.

I was not the original owner: I bought it second hand with Marshmallow installed, then I've upgraded to Nougat and then Oreo. I really don't remember how the FCC menu used to look on previous OS versions.

My neighbour bought a Huawei Phone online, and it was an Israelian variant as well. It was a new untouched phone, and I'm quite sure it didn't have Hebrew as default language on the first boot. It works with no problems in Italy. I think that the phone tries to guess the language to be used according to the SIM card: I have a couple of tablets made for the Italian Market, with no SIM card inside, that on first boot are set on English.

As long as you are sure about the model (H850), attempting an OTA or flashing a different variant for the same model is totally fine. Even in the case there are some incompatibilities between the Israelian carriers settings in the firmware and the carriers in the UK, they would be minor issues, such as the NTCODE error. Moreover, you would still be able to flash again a different variant using LGUP if you're not satisfied with the one you have.
EEO_GB by the way is not the OPEN_EU variant, that is called exactly OPEN_EU. I suppose that EEO_GB might be related to EE carrier in Britain.

It's definitely an H850.
Not looking to Flash any ROMs.
The phone is in Oz (Australia).
Would it be best to do the OTA update without a Local SIM card and just use a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet?
Can an "NTCODE error" happen after an OTA update?
Thanks!! again.

If you update the phone through an OTA update, the location shouldn't matter for the update process to complete. The phone will download the latest update available for its region. As the phone is in Australia and it's an Israelian variant, it will receive an Israelian update. So, as long as you use OTA updates, NTCODE error shouldn't happen. But don't worry, even if it happened, it would be just an annoyance, as it shows just once when you start the phone, but wouldn't affect the usage.
Hi guys, I just picked up a used LG G5 RS988 and it is on Android version 6.0.1 (RS98810a). When I check for updates it shows none. However, I have an LG G5 VS987 that is on Android 8.0.0. I understand that normal channel updates may no longer be available (and the Verizon version provided updates in a different way), but is there a simple(ish) way to flash a more recent stock Android version?
Answered my own question! Downloaded LG Bridge from lg.com and using it to install more recent Android version(s). I'll post the final version once the update is done.
OK, LG Bridge allowed me to install RS98810h ... additionally, I found this super-helpful thread and have all the tools installed to flash the newest firmware ( LG-RS98821a-Flashable.COMPLETE-ARB01.zip ) - I just wanted to confirm it is safe to go from 10h to 21a directly. If someone could confirm that, I'd appreciate it!
