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.
All above model of lg g5, which one should I buy?

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

How did you replace the bottom module?
I just bought a LG G5 H860. From what I understand it's the Dual SIM version of the H850. However, all of the ROMs listed in this forum are for H850.
Can I use the same ROM for my phone or I'm just out of luck and there's no ROM for my phone? If there's a custom ROM for my phone please let me know. Thanks.

This is the korean variant and gets update at the right time althought there are a few issues such as the wifi and bluetooth range which are really low. Not sure if this is a softwares or a hardware issue.
Hi everyboby
I not found the MirroLink option on my LG G5 H860.
It's normal ?
Because it's a Hong Kong ROM version ?
if yes, it's possible to update by the H850 ROM ? even with dual sim for the H860 no problem ?
Thank you for you help.
Have a good day.
Hi there,
You are not advised to attempt flashing ROMs that are not meant for your model.
If you own a H860N, only flash ROMs for H860 or H860N. Do NOT try flashing H850 ROMs to a H860/H860N or your phone will be bricked.
Hi yuiho
Thanks you for your help.
Where can I find the mirrorlink option in my LG G5 H860 ?
How to make the option appear ?
Thanks.
