UK O2 / Tesco Mobile users - LG G5 Questions & Answers

I have a LG V20 H990ds International variant, Taiwan firmware, rooted.
As the V20 was never released in the UK or Europe I'm trying to change the localisation / region to the UK / Europe.
I would appreciate any UK G5 owner - preferably on O2 or Tesco Mobile - uploading a copy of their /cust/ folder so I can make some comparisons and see if I can get anywhere with this.
TIA

[Q] Update to Lumia 800 come from Germany or Portugal?

I have a problem regarding the update of my lumia 800. I bought via ebay a lumia 800 from germany but know i am using it in portugal with vodafone. The phone i think is unlocked but is branded to vodafone germany as the product code is the one from germany as it i can see in the nokia webpage support. There i can see that there is an update available for my device "059L701" but via zune its just says that my device as already the latest firmware. Currently i have the 12070 firmware and i don´t know why it won´t update. Can it be because i am using vodafone portugal as carrier and not vodafone germany? And how do i know if the phone is factory unlocked or was unlocked by some sort of firmware?
I have an unlocked United Kingdom Variant phone I am using in the USA on T-Mobile, so similar issue.
Try the disconnect trick on Zune, but make sure both your Cell data and Wifi are both turned OFF, or it won't work.

Flashing different region Rom

Hello,
Currently I have an imported unlocked phone from France 1232.2109.1242.1001 and I was wondering if there is any downside to flashing a different region rom from 1232.5951.1249.100*.
Do they allow english and support the sim unlock?
I live in Australia and I'm on Telstra, but I really don't mind losing the 4G capability for an updated rom. Since 4G isn't really supported everywhere and is a battery killer. My phone is a rm-821 model
Should I just bite the bullet and flash stock AUS rom and wait? Or will the new roms work?
Thanks

I personally flashed the latest unbranded AUS ROM over my 920 and Im going to stick with that ROM gets updated on Navifirm or released OTA.
The only ROM's available with the latest update seems to be some North African carriers, Belgium, O2 (Europe) and Orange (Europe) plus the American model RM-820 which wont work on our handsets. I would wait if I were you. Im not sure if there will be any problems with selecting a different carrier unless it stops certain frequencies from working that Telstra require.. eg. 850MHz for 3G/H+ and 1800MHz for LTE/4G. I doubt that would be an issue though.
If you do flash a new one, can you keep us updated on how well the ROM works?

Hi from Ireland with a small question

Hi all, i live in Ireland and I have a S9+ SM G965F . I'm on the Vodafone network that has a csc VDI. The phone was bought from the UK and was a branded vodafone UK VOD . When I put my VDI sim in it automatically changed to VDI/VDI/VOD.
I JUST ordered a S9+ DUOS off eglobal and the phone is coming from Hong Kong, it's new unlocked and sim free and model is SM G965FD. At this point I will have no idea what csc will be on it. Will i have problems changing it to VDI? Or am I screwed as i need wifi calling.

There are quite a few posts in this forum involving changing CSC but there's not many who have successfully done it. Your best option may be a Combination ROM. Good luck!

Best firmware/rom for H930DS in Europe?

Hi,
What firmware/rom do you recommend for a H930DS used in Europe?
The one i have now is imported from Hong Kong with firmware V21d-HKG-xx. I consider a different firmware/custom rom but only if there is an advantage (ex if VOLTE/wifi-calling works).
I live in Denmark.
Kind regards
Christian
Hi there.. I also have the h930ds from Hong Kong.. after trying multiple stock ROMs.. the only one that gave me volte options on the menus was the Taiwan one..
The only one working properly is the BoomBox rom, as far as I know.
