[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
You need adb and fastboot installed on your computer + htc drivers

then use fastboot to do this command when phone is in bootloader:

fastboot getvar all

ruu restore the entire phone to stock, including software and firmware. this wipe all your data. with s-on you can only flash ruu same of higher version currently on your phone (i.e 4.18.502.7) with bootloader locked or re-locked. with s-off you can flash ruu lower or higher version, with bootloader unlocked, locked or re-locked.

you also need fastboot to update twrp, however if you choose to restore using a ruu, no need to update twrp, it will be wiped by the ruu anyway.

you should also try this using fastboot in bootloader:

fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

well you said in your first post that your phone was S-OFF but from what I see from the picture you have posted (yes this is the bootloader btw) your phone is S-ON. fortunately, there is a 4.18.502.7 ruu, so you should not need s-off.

oh and you also said you were running the most recent stock rom, but 4.18.502.7 isnt the most recent. most recent version for your phone is 5.12.502.2

I just ordered an (international) D855, which seems to have specs for LTE compatible with AT&T. Can anyone say for sure if this g3 will work with US AT&T LTE? and other AT&T systems ok?

Thank you.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Look here for all current used worldwide LTE bands http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks. Here are the D855 supported LTE bands http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_g3-6294.php so to answer your question i think not.

Did it work on LTE on att?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vineet381:
I have the same question, D855 seems to have 700 and 1700 LTE bands on which Att operate here, so I am assuming it does get LTE
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lostatsea23:
Seeing as they all have the same bands the f400 and the d855 it means it will get LTE
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekerbuddyeker:
I'm Awaiting one to arrive. Will report...
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lostatsea23:
Ditto. It will work though as it has the same and more bands then the f400 series that did work with lte
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vince2398:
Is this the same d855 from Hong Kong?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekerbuddyeker:
I paid $685 whixh I think is a good price. If it is fundamentally the same as the At&t version, then it's at least $100 less than AT&T typically charges for buying a device outright. And it's unlocked with 3Gb.

Well it all depends on if it works!

No mention of the band 1700.

one of the US seller sells it in the USA and clearly mentions that this model will not support LTE in the USA. hope this helps.

LG G3 D855 LTE 32GB White Quad-core Android GSM unlocked phone

Please note that the LTE 4G network works in Europe and Asia only. 4G LTE 700 / 800 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2300 / 2600 network is not compatible in the United States.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JasontheKep:
Does it?

Does it work in the US? Have you tested it yet?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antonpace:
I was on chat with AT&T the other day. They said the phone must have the 700mHz/band 17, it should in theory, work on their LTE. Also said if it has the 2100 it must have the 1700 as they rely on each other, but as long as it did have the 700 it could work although there were no guarantees. I have been eyeing up the d855 too but waiting for solid evidence first!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradley1234:
D855

if you would like to connect on AT&T 4G LTE on 700 MHz spectrum you would need band 17 and LG G3 - D855 supports LTE bands 3, 7, 20.

So you cannot get 4G LTE on D855. Hope this helps.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lostatsea23:
Wrong. It has the same bands as the f400k and such which has been proven to get LTE on AT&T. So why would this phone not get lte? This one has more bands.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vineet381:
Agreed, this should get LTE as long as it supports 700 mhz which it does and your area has 700 mhz frequency, Period!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lostatsea23:
The only thing it wouldn't get is LTE on tmobile all the time. But even tmobile has moved a lot of towers to the 1900mhz band.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vineet381:
Agreed, should have cleared on my last post that I was referring to AT&T.. which runs on 700 and 1700
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lostatsea23:
Here's proof.

Same exact bands. So why would the d855 not work?

Exactly. Stop spreading misinformation.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lostatsea23:
Wish I had the phone on me or could see the menus. I don't wanna receive it and not get LTE. But chances of that are slim. It has the bands so it works. Probably just some setting is missing or its locked right now

---------- Post added at 05:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 PM ----------

Yeah it is. I forgot that.

Hmm. Well I can't do much blind. Someone with the phone send me screenshots of the interface and menus. And click into them. Sounds annoying but it should help me help us all out.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vineet381:

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddioj:
i think i am just going to return the phone. the base bands menu is blank. its prob the firmware. also
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lostatsea23:
I bet the phone is not unlocked. Why don't you try to unlock it. Can we see the basebands menu?

No one is uploading screenshots -.-
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddioj:
if it was region locked i wouldnt be able to use it at all period. i will upload screen shots in a few. its just annoying too lol
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lostatsea23:
I guess. You must have the settings wrong or perhaps its the ROM. I wonder if there's another you could throw on there. Lol and yeah please do. I don't get why you can't see the bands. You could on the f400.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lostatsea23:
No you don't. You say it was advertised to have 700mhz band which it is and that it didn't allow you to activate it. False advertisement. Tell PayPal and they will get you all of your money.

---------- Post added at 05:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 PM ----------

Someone has to know how to flash different firmware to allow you to change the bands. They're not accessible clearly.

---------- Post added at 05:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 PM ----------

If one more person confirms LTE doesn't work then I'm gonna cancel it. They're supposed to send me another one since one got lost in the mail. if anything maybe I'll try it and force PayPal to refund me otherwise cause its false info. The band is listed on the box and such so I'm thinking the phone firmware locked out the menu. That's why I was asking someone to purchase an unlock code for the g3 and see if that helps.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekerbuddyeker:
Rather than flash it and risk a brick, surely better to return it and wait.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lostatsea23:
You should see if you get LTE since yours is at home
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekerbuddyeker:
Yes, but if I open it I can't get a full refund.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lostatsea23:
You bought it from never-msrp I'm guessing. If it doesn't work just say its not working and it says the right bands but it doesn't work on LTE as it should. I wouldn't even worry about that.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddioj:
never msrp is a **** most likely going to open a case with him lol.. atgsm just sent me a prepaid shipping label no questions
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lostatsea23:
Yeah I canceled my order. It hasn't been shipped yet so I'll get my refund in a couple days or so. Whatever. Not gonna deal with it. I'll be pissed if someone figures out how to make it work lmao. She was nice and just cancrlled it. Apparently it needs 1900 and 700. Idk if it has 1900 but it probably does. Idk I'm confused. Lol I'll most likely buy the Korean variant. Or I'll wait till more info is out.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vince2398:
Are you just going to get the Korean model? I think that has the right LTE hands for ATT?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lostatsea23:
I know for sure that one works. I'm just hoping I can get one with fast shipping. And not pay an arm and leg.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antonpace:
I asked AT&T about the 1900 in that same chat few days ago. She said the 1900 was not listed in her system as an AT&T reliant band. just the 700/1700/2100. I have seen few sites selling this phone insisting AT&T uses 1900. Makes you wonder what else they don't know about what they're selling!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
Im not sure if this helps, but when I first got my G3 (F400S) it took and hour or two before it changed from 3G to 4G/LTE. I knew it was compatible so I just waited. I left my home to goto some classes and it was on 3G and by the time I checked it again it switched over. It could just be my area because it's a college town and maybe ATT just had issues, but it didn't bother me because as I said other people had it working so I didn't worry about it, and it ended up working. I'm hoping the D855 will work with LTE, because I would like to replace my F400S and at least get qi rather than the T-Mobile version or another F400S. I have a few days to make a descison so I'll see.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lostatsea23:
Yeah well now everyone is scared to order so we will never get confirmation. Ha :/

---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------

I'd like to get confirmation. What does it show in the status bar for you guys or when you go into about phone and go into network what does it show that the phone is getting?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
I know... Well if no one else buys one I will either later this week or next week. I need a phone that isn't my wife's old note 3. I will find a way to make it work, so I hope. Also does the d855 have call recording in the dialer app when you call? I like this for when I call ATT and they act stupid because they already state it's recorded so why not have your own copy?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papi92:
Ill be keeping mine. I have limited data so i dont need lte also 10mbps on H is fine with me. ATT only needs the 700mhz lte.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddioj:
well all the reviewers had the 400k model and they all worked with LTE so i guess i will get the 400K even though i didnt want the bloat. and i dont want to cross flash the phone and risk a brick

Have you guys tried another radio?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
From LG's Australian (I'm assuming they should be the same because the D855 is the international/euro model) website here are the bands:

D855:

2G (GSM/EDGE) 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

3G (HSPA+42Mbps/HSPA+21Mbps) 850 / 900 / 2100 MHz

4G / LTE 700 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600 FD , 2300 TD

Source http://www.lg.com/au/mobile-phones/lg-G3-D855-Metallic-Black/technical-specifications

I tried looking around, but LG doesn't specify the bands/frequencies on the uk, or their global page.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lostatsea23:
So straight from LG.

Yeah, it has to be the rom or some setting.

Ugh wtf idk anymore lol I cancelled my order. If we find out by tomorrow Ill order one and overnight it.

I think its a build.prop setting that is blocking the use of the other bands since most places outside the US and Canada don't use the 700mhz band. But it is on there and its obviously 17 as well otherwise it would say TDD beside it which is not the same as the FDD most places use.

2600 FD , 2300 TD are listed telling you is one is FD or TD. The US uses FDD

"Thank you for your query regarding your LG G3 (D855).

After reading through your email and researching this for you I can advise that below are the following LTE bands/Frequency that this handset supports;

Well we can only assuming is band 17.

The other band is 28 and thats not used in many places.

I don't know how one would flash another rom.

If you get root though a build.prop from the korean variant will most likely open up the options to enable the 700mhz network.
