[Q] Can I flash a USA Sprint LG G2 to International or EU carrier?

Hello guys, it is my first post here! I tried searching for my specific question but I did only find hints, not a true answer.
I'm about to change my phone soon, I come from iOS world so please don't be too hard on me if what I ask is stupid or evident for you (as it would not necessarily be the case for me ).
I am right now looking at a Sprint 32GB version of a LG G2, it does have a bad ESN with Sprint. Obviously it is not high priced since ESN is bad. I understand a little that ESN is linked to WMCA networking, which is specific to each carrier. It is the same as connecting to data with Sprint or Verizon or AT&T, or in my area, SFR, Orange, Bouygues, Vodafone... Am I right?!
From what I've read, it would be best for me to search for a regular phone instead if I was in USA. But I live in Europe, so I don't care about not being able to connect to Sprint network.
If I flash/root this phone with an EU stock ROM or International ROM (or even a custom ROM, since a lot are available here), will I be able to connect to my local carriers' networks?
Regarding your advices I will or will not buy this phone.
Sorry if my english is bad, & Thanks in advance! :good:

If you're saying that you're gonna buy the Sprint version because it's good in price and you live in Europe. Just check the bands which the Sprint version supports and the bands which your network provider in Europe provides. If they are compatible then no worries. Just make sure that you only flash ROMs etc which are made for the Sprint variant. I think you would also need to unlock the device which I'm not sure about.
Still, the best thing to do us to buy the international variant(D802) which is not locked if you also can't figure out how to unlock.

Ok thank you for your advice, I'll check the bands too (I didn't even think of that)!

Same question.
Im im from India and we dont have LTE here only 3D and CDMA which is horribad and used only on cheap phones.
So basically my question is if i buy a sprint LG G2 off ebay with a Bad ESN , Can i root flash CM or AOKP something and use the phone with a regular GSM sim from my country ?
PS: all the bands are supported since its a world phone.
Thanks in advance.

Sprint does not support 2100 frequency. 3g hspa HSDPA so on use the above mentioned frequency. According to my knowledge India uses 2100 frequency band. So unfortunately you'll not be able to use 3g in India with the sprints version.
Try for at&t version

im using 3G just fine in india on sprint version :|

You will have to input APN settings manually.
Name Airtel
Apn : Airtelgprs.com
rest leave it default save select and your net should start working.

Actually bro everything is fine with the setting I guess, as I have tried a different sim as well, whenever i enable data it does not show "E" on the notification bar as it Use to show before I could only see GSM inside a small circle when ever i activate net there is no "E" at all. All the problems started when I updated the cell via OTA update initially when I got the cell it was ZV7, now after the update its ZVA and not able to Use net since then. Please find the attached screen shot about the GSM showing up when i enable data.

it will not show E on stock rom unless u make some changes,
thats how Sprint rom reports network.
Other roms ull see E and H.

It won't ever work with your Sprint SIM because the H815 model is GSM only - and Sprint is CDMA

The answer used to be Sprint is CDMA not GSM so you have the wrong phone if I am correct. Sorry. But now that they have LTE....
LTE is the same functionally (not bands though) among carriers. You may need to call Sprint and see if they have some sort of blocking enabled for that device.

I am about to order one from ebay (h815). I'm not sure if that will work with tmo since it's missing the aws 1700/2100 3g band. Isn't that a necessary band for mms?
Also looks like it's missing lte 12 but doesn't matter since Chicago hasn't been approved for that band anyway and it'll be a while before that happens.

Havent had any trouble with mms, sending photos from my G4 on t-mo to wifes G3.

What are the differences between the F500 and the H815? Here in Australia, the F500 is approximately $100 more expensive than the H815 on eBay. Of course, it hasn't been released yet and I believe that, when it is released, it will cost around $900. ( -_-)

In Australia, if you're with Telstra and want the new 4GX network, you need the 815 or 815T. You need one that has 700MHz(B28) band, and it seems both of them do have this. If you're with Optus, the 815 is missing an LTE band and you'd be best going for the 815T.

I'm with the crappiest company; Vodafone. I didn't even know there were so many models of the G4. Thanks for that!
I don't use 4G/LTE. There's dodgy coverage in Perth and its suburbs (even just general 2G/3G) and I'm usually in reach of wifi.
I hope someone can make a list of all the models to make it easier to find the international model versus carrier models.

QD_AU on eBay are selling them for AU$799 - great price! It's the Taiwan version, the 815: http://stores.ebay.com.au/QD-Shopping-Centre/_i.html?_nkw=h815&submit=Search&_sid=138021041
They're a reputable store with lots of great feedback on places like Whirlpool.

Ah, yeah. I saw that. Not a bad price but why is the leather-back version the same price as the plastic cover one?
Is the F500 the international variant or the H815? Which one do you think will get the fastest updates? I really want to switch from my Nexus 5. With Google's new Photos app coming later today, I'd love to take photos on the G4 and upload them.

Speed test on T-Mobile.

Help - if I buy the LG V20 to use in the UK (unlocked) how do I update and 4G?

I posted this in the general section, but then I found this specific V20 area and hopefully you guys will be far more knowledgeable than I am.
I'm on an EE contract in England. the LG V20 is the phone I want to buy but it's not released here in the UK (ebay seems the only option and the closest).
It's got Nougat but it will eventually have updates. the LG V20 does not seem to be scheduled for release in the UK. How, if possible, can I update the phone's Android since my network does not stock that phone?
And it will work on 4G in the UK too?
Thank you for the help, I'm a novice Android user.

Cause you can update as and when available by the manufacturer if it's unlocked.

I just took the plunge and bought on eBay should be delivered next few days. I went for H990DS version which is apparently compatible with all 4g networks in the uk.

I would venture you can update manually with whatever lg uses to flash stock firmware or it will find an update over wifi.

I have an F800 Korean version using it on Vodafone. All 4G bands are supported. The only one missing is the 900MHz HSDPA band. Video calling works just fine. The downside is that you get the operator bloatware and is not easy to get rid of it.
P.S. Check the 4G(LTE) bands of your operator before buying. For example the Korean version you won't get 4G on O2.

I ordered mine too, so hopefully get it around the 7th/8th. I got the Taiwan version because of more 4G support in U.K. It will be used on EE and 3. In the past I have achieved speeds of 100mb with the Note, so would like to see how this would do as well. Such a shame we have to import... lg should be taking advantage of Samsung's catastrophic failure with the note 7. Oh by the way does anyone know if they share sim and sd card or the sd has its own dedicated slot?

I have the F800S. Is the SK Telecom model with some bloatware but the phone itself is great. Quality build and the audio and camera are superb. I wish I could somehow remove the Korean dialer. Even if you select English it still shows the Korean characters.

AUSSIES interested in the H990DS dual sim with 4g/3g capability, its available for $984 local stock, local shipping, genuine AU 12 month warranty from me. Only sold in 1 retailer outright/unlocked, JB HIFI from 8/11 with a price of $1099.

Hi all. Bit late to this chat but I've just bought an LG V20 online and am a little worried as LG themselves are telling me that I won't be able to connect to the 4G network at all as the frequencies are different. However the frequencies available on the specifications of the phone DO match the frequencies used by EE for 4G in the UK; are the LG operatives confused? Do your V20s work okay on the UK's 4G ? Thanks in advance

I'm also in the UK and I've had my H990ds Taiwan variant for 4 days.
I'm on Tesco Mobile (which uses o2) and 4G LTE is working just fine.

"CN version" Available on ebay. Will it work in the US?

As stated the P10 plus is available on ebay, I am just wondering if I should wait or if the CN version would work on US cellular carriers? thanks!

You should look at the LTE Bands supported, compare it to the ones used by your US provider and make up your own opinion, no?

Actually no, because over the years of buying unlocked phones I have found that ebay listings tend to lack these facts or are not trustworthy, especially when they are written overseas. I will not drop >$800 on a phone until I know for sure. I posted here since I figured some may already have experience with the handset. Thank you

Then you should wait. If ebay listings are the only source you can find for technical information on the p10 plus then don't risk your money.

Even if bands work you could end up with a Chinese model like what I got when I ordered a P9 Plus and didn't pay attention to model numbers. It wasn't a big deal, just took some time to get Google play installed. And some apps and settings not in English

I have a mate 9 china version and it works in Canada on Telus and Rogers network. Just FYI.
A spec list from huawei Chinese website for P10 Plus:
LTE FDD:Band1/2/3/4/5/7/8/9/12/17/18/19/20/26
TD-LTE: Band38/39/40/41（100M）

I connected to Russia via a VPN.
Then did update check - found the update and applied it (whilst disconnected from VPN)
I'm also on O2 but brought the device sim free and not via O2
These days O2 do not lock phones (and for those that are locked they generally give free unlock codes)

I tried the same thing but no luck, maybe it's because O2 deals with the update and not Oppo, being bought on a contract.
Do you have the option to change your region in settings? I can only change the language.

mine is the 5g version and I think it's carrier exclusive type of stuff, because even in the build number it's CPH1921 O2 A.21.
I had phones from them a long time but I thought they were done with those custom software put on top.
last phone I had from them was the OnePlus 5T and usually there was no delay with software updates

I had phones from them a long time but I thought they were done with those custom software put on top.
last phone I had from them was the OnePlus 5T and usually there was no delay with software updates

Yeah...looks like it could be carrier specific if it has O2 in the firmware name. I assume there are O2 apps preinstalled?

Well...now you know, I guess.
A waiting game then got O2 to pull their finger out. Not sure if CPH1919 has COS7 officially in UK yet

Have you tried WiFi update through recovery?

I was thinking...if the device could somehow pickup the latest global non-O2 version, you may be able to update better from there.
However...if the device us locked to O2 you won't be able to.
To check locking to carrier...try another carrier SIM if you can

It works with other sim, and I tried wifi update through recovery but nothing.
I downloaded the lastest version available here:
https://oppo-uk.custhelp.com/app/software_update_detail/p_name/Reno 5G
I did manage to install it through recovery but it seems it's only the May security patch

It's all that's available then at the moment.
Not sure if any other 5G user has managed an update.
Hang in there dude! I'm sure one will be along soon
