Hi:
My brother have bought an LG G2 , and i am learning about it's modes , software , and other things.
I knew that the official softwares came like KDZ files , and i have downloaded the LG Flash Tool.
But about the softwares i know nothing.
In SONY softwares , every software came with all languages but may some will be hided depend on the software region.
In SAMSUNG you have to download the software that represent your region so you can get your language.
Please help me answer those questions:
1- Can i flash any KDZ on the Phone like all D802 softwares?
2- Does the all softwares include all languages like SONY?
3- How do i know the software build number and the android version? like "D80220C_00" what android version does it stand on? and how to know if softwares like "D80220A_00" and "D80220D_00" is newer or older?
4- I saw a links like those: http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=358635050100008
Does those links view the lastest new software of my phone that it's 100% compatible with it? i mean if i exchanged the IMEI with my real phone IMEI.
1. You can flash any KDZ for your g2 D802 model so dont flash other model kdz on your brothers phone, dont break it
2. I believe that it also has all the languages.
3. Build number is 20C and android version you can find in about phone. As far as I know LG higheres the build versions from like v10 to v20 if they update to an higher android version. So v10x is jellybean and v20x is kitkat.
I am not sure how to know the older and or newer ones, I just recommend to update your phone with lg pc suite or with that link from 4.
If you enter your imei then the link should appear with the latest software version for your phone.
5. Like I said before its your brothers phone so take it carefully, read everything good and keep it safe :good:
Btw, there are 32gb and 16gb device kdz. If you flash an 16gb kdz on an 32gb then it will only show 16. Vice versa I dont know what would happen, I think it will not be good or it will even not go.

You helped me so much
the only thing that still didn't understood that the version , because like what you said , 10x and 20x are the version so higher number is the newer software , but what about the x? in my brother phone it's 20C that shown on the link after entering the IMEI , so 20A and 20D are for other models or regions? or older and newer?
And what does SUFFIX number do? is it important?
I dont know exactly or 20 A is newer or D just watch the release date of it. With the x I mean like some version D or A.
I dont know really about the suffix number if it is on that url but I can tell you that you dont need to change your stock to another version since the most versions are like fixing small things, just wait for ota's.
Again the x I mean like this.
There is android 4.4.1 4.4.2 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 and gapps are for 4.4.X so also for the sub versions which mostly contains some bugfixes. But as far as I know on LG stock there arent so many bugs, on the g2 I am not sure since I dont even own that phone.

Hello,
I got a brand new D802 from Hong Kong a few days ago.
It was working good until I did an update that was suggested to me by the LG PC Suite.
The upgrade was from D80220B to D80220D, after the update was finished successfully, the device restarted and since then, the touch screen isn't working properly.
The meaning of it that I can't even slide to open the device because the screen acts "crazy" pressing multiple times and not in the correct place like if its calibration is ruined.
I tried doing factory reset but it didn't help, I even tried flashing the KDZ file, but the result was the same.
I put it in a shop where they told me that the digitizer and the screen needed to be replaced.
My questions are:
1. How can the digitizer get ruined from doing an update using the official software?
2. If I get a new device (I bought it on eBay and I'm sending the device for a replacement), and I'll do the update again, will it happen again or is it a faulty device that was doomed to be ruined?
Many thanks,
Ice
no one knows?

i guess it was faulty mate if you went from stock>>stock . everyone upgrades nowdays using Ota or flash tool or pc suite without problem. i recommend you ota if you on stock without root/recovery etc.. else KDZ download and manual flash with lg flash tool.

When you say "faulty" you mean the device?
I can't do anything with the device because the screen doesn't work anymore, even if I flash stock rom from scratch.

I think you have refurbished LG G2. It is not D802. Open your phone battery cover there you will find exact model of your LG G2.

Maybe, but chances are you'll convert your phone into a small Wi-fi only tablet. That's if it doesn't bootloop.
Not sure about LG, but I know for a fact on some HTC phones, flashing DS radio firmware on SS phones disables all GSM radio functionality.
hi, i have a G6 H870 chilean version, without branding, can i install the UE Firmware? and the other question, is if i won't lose my warranty?

I just did the same last night. I'll let it "settle in" for a day or 2 to see the results.
So far a little lag (in opening apps) compared to Nougat, but stable. Battery drain seems slightly improved but I'll report back later.
If the lag doesn't go away I'll go back to Nougat

maybe I see more difference because I came from the Israeli version. Also I did a clean install

I also came from that version
I didn't do a factory reset. because I figure that once I reinstall everything (and I actually use all the apps) I'll be in the same situation.
The slight delay in apps opening is slightly annoying. I suppose I can get used to that, but I prefer a snappy device even if I don't have immersive mode or context menus on the icons...maybe I'll roll back to Nougat
So after a few days, a few observations:
1. The lag seems to have decreased with a few days of settling in. Still not exactly snappy, but less delay in opening apps.
2. There is a new setting in Oreo under apps-battery usage- a toggle for "background activity" . It is available for some apps but not all. It stops these apps from running processes in the background (not connected to "power saving exclusions"). This seems to have improved battery life a bit.
3. No crashes or freezing.

I got the Philippines variant for LG G6 which is an H870DS ESA and I flashed a Singapore H870DS SEA oreo firmware (.kdz) and got stuck on LG Logo after I complete the flashing
1. Opened Uppercut / Runned LGUP directly
2. Choose the H870DS kdz file
3. Choose "update"
4. Start the flashing and wait till it finish
5. Stuck at LG logo
On the firmware website I see there is now an "official" version of oreo for the Israeli device (dated 8-8-18)
Anybody try it?
Hello LG fans,
There is an old thread with a similar title, but since it is inactive I started this one. For certain reasons I got this G4 phone only few days ago. The model number on the box and under-battery tag as well as in settings showed F500 (just F500 without any suffix S, L, or K). It came with Android 5.1, and everything was working well. Online search showed that F500X phones can be officially updated to Nougat 7.0, but the phone OTA update said no update was available.
As per LG website, I installed LG Bridge to get the updates. It identified the phone as F500K and found two updates. First it installed 6.0 Marshmallow and then 7.0 Nougat software version F500K30c. Also the model no changed to F500K in settings. I think this probably means it is is a refurbished phone
The Installation was successful, but it installed a Korea Telecom version with some Korean stuff. I uninstalled or disabled all the Korean bloat I could without root, but there are still a few things remaining, and some Korean language here and there.
In general, I’m quite satisfied with the phone. The only thing I wish to get rid of is the KT Wifi manager app which is all in Korean, and I don’t know what it does or which settings to select. It is a system app, and I can’t uninstall or disable it, but my wifi and data networks seem to be working fine, so no complaints. I’ve seen several people here and elsewhere complaining about network issues, boot loops and bricks, but so far I haven’t experienced any. I hope it stays this way :fingers-crossed:
I was wondering about the other variants F500S and F500L, do they also have Korean bloat and is it more or less than F500K? I have read somewhere that these three firmware variants can be interchangeably installed. Is this the case, and if so, is it advisable to install another variant? I have been reading about this phone, but this is my first time to use an LG phones, and I have no experience with their software and tools, so any help, ideas or suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

You could
downgrade to MM,
backup with SALT (CRUCIAL important),
unlock by UsU ,
extract with SALT: system ,modem and boot partitions from a f500 kdz,
root and debloat or (if you like to) install a custom ROM
Check the UsU and SALT threads (you can find both in my signature)

Thank you @steadfasterX for your reply,
It's quite an honor the Guru himself was the first to reply to my post. I have seen many of your posts and replies in the forum before, and now looked at some of the stuff in your signature. Pretty impressive work. I definitely need to spend some time learning about them particularly SALT and FWUL, as I have also started learning and using Linux lately. How come FWUL is not shown on distrowatch?
For the time being, I was thinking to stick to stock Nougat 7.0 as it's a fairly recent OS, and the phone is fine even with the remaining little Korean stuff. My main dissatisfaction really is with the mysterious kt wifi manager app which is all in Korean and has some settings which I don't know what they are. If just replacing the current Nougat 7.0 with another variant S or L is actually possible, and these variants don't have a similar app, this would be great.
I have been searching for information about these S/L/K firmware variant differences but couldn't find much. I hope other S & L phone owners could tell us about their phones. The only thing I could find so far is that each is for a different carrier in Korea, and that they can be interchangeably installed as per a Reddit post. I don't know how reliable this information is!
From a purely technical perspective for G4 F500 , is it possible to flash another F500 variant using LGUP, or is this something that shouldn't be done? I have seen many people getting in trouble for flashing wrong firmware. If this is safe to do, do I need to do any preparation work like downgrading to MM first, and should this be done as an upgrade or a refurbish? For what it's worth, my ARB value is 0.
Thanks

Hi Sfx,
1. to downgrade to MM... use uppercut, right? I'm using latest 20u for F500l is OK for UsU?
2. after backing up with SALT, can I revert back anytime after unlock and with new custom ROM?
3. after rooting, do I install twrp and load custom ROM? and can I extract 30b Nougat's modem from KDZ to use with the custom ROM?
thanks so much in advance for answering...:angel:

Because they are ignorant and/or just arrogant enough to ignore my requests. I even offered to pay advertisements as this should be (according to their website) a way to get listed instant. but nothing. Even not on the waiting list..

ok so one thing first. the most important one: Ensure you keep your ARB at 0. This is crucial important. So never ever flash anything (including QFIL restore files!!!) where you are not 10000% sure it wouldn't increase your ARB.
If you are about to flash a KDZ then check that file with SALT first (simply press extract and it will display the ARB). If you flash anything else.. well ensure that the files offered have that information listed and hope and pray its not wrong (e.g. there are QFIL files around which are labeled for a ARB 0 model but contain ARB2 files..). Never heard about a wrong labeled KDZ file but who knows.
The second important thing is (maybe its even the first): before doing anything, do a full backup with SALT (basic is fine) and (!!) move that to a secure place! (I saw so many ppl who lost their backup through several ways).
So when going on through the UsU process you will have 2 SALT backups: the one before downgrading to MM and another one after you downgraded to MM (tbh the more important one). If you can keep them both.
so about flashing other variants: yes it IS technically possible to even flash e.g. h815 ROMs to a F500 and so converting it that way! but never try that with h811 KDZs or others..
anyways yea you could flash other F500 variants without fear (just carrier bloat is different) as long as you follow the above advises.

1. I dunno the latest MM F500 version but "20u" sounds good. Can't help in the downgrade process but there are plenty of guides here in the G4 forums.
2. dunno that you mean here.. but if you wanna know if you can stay on STOCK after UsU'ing yea sure. flashing UsU does not require to go for a custom ROM. It just gives you the freedom to do so.
3. if you follow the UsU guide you will have TWRP already and that's the place where you install a custom ROM if you like. Sure extract the 30b modem and flash it in fastboot should work fine (after UsU).

if you would flash h811 on yours you will increase your ARB so do NOT flash that.
Use a h815 based ROM even when SALT compat shows different. your partition layout is somehow weird..
for non-UsU ROMs flash the f500(!!) baseband package once
