Well unless you can recover the IMEI I doubt you could ever use it as an actual device. You could try having LGUP recognize the device but I don't see a goal here?
Hi. What about free memory for user?
Is it not same Lg G8 for only 8 gb free on demo unit?

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, seeking some help with a Brightpoint 10h LG G5 that I ended up receiving from a purchase off eBay. Unfortunately, I realized only afterwards that there were 2 variants of the RS988 and of course I received the one that can't get the bootloader unlocked.
Anyway, as the title states, I'm wondering if it's safe to flash the USA version kdz onto my Brightpoint model. And is it even worthwhile as a means to try and update the firmware?
Any and all help is very much appreciated.

Hey, Mr. Smitty,
I believe the LG Flash tool would prevent you from flashing the regular USA onto your Brightpoint. Have you had any success?

Hi, Not without problems, still fighting with it. Actually crossflash has happened but there are issues now. Is there any chance that you could prepare a dump of your version? It would be helpful for extract the boot.img from it.
I can crossflash at&t variant to EA with the help of firehose. Could you share a back up of your modem_a partition? I want to see what carrier is supported in the this variant.
I can not reach any of the files actually. What I did is that crossflashed my Docomo variant to EA which went without error. But NT code is not matching now and there is no bootloader unlock option. Not only the LG stopped to provide unlock.bin but bootloader menu is not available. If you reach there on any way the device is restarting in normal mode. I was thinking in many possibilities but not sure if any is feasible. tried to change between many EA ROMS. Also I was thinking after all to do the chip erase by LGUP. As the PDM is not working now probably would not work after erase, in that case one more step only bacward. By the way I dont know why the LGUP can not touch the device in the blue factory mode. That is the point where the PDM set can not be done for the NT change. Otherwise root or bootloader unlock would not be important to me about other reason than replace bootloader to the EA version.

Same here. If anyone has a docomo kdz please let us know.
LG v60 51a does not have kdz.
But if you update outside of Japan, try it like a link. I tried it in the Korean community and confirmed that it was updated.
Cross-flash will be difficult in a general way.
The partition composition is different between the US version and the European version.

Hi. I am looking at an LG G8X on Ebay and I have a few questions.
It is listed as model G850UM and factory unlocked for T-Mobile.
1. Does this mean it will be able to update to Android 11 (unlike the Sprint version)?
2. Is this version able to be rooted?
Is there a way to get the AT&T version of G8X working on t-mobile? Last i sw you can't unlock the bootloader and so the answer ws no. Has that changed?
Mine has Android 9

I know this may be a little late,but I would cross flash it to the T-Mobile firmware.Follow the cross flash guide in the G8 section.Make sure you backup all LUN 5 partitions in Qfil before you start for IMEI purposes.
