Hi @muaythaist,

I saw your Private Message.

I understand your problem of "no IMEI".

The problem is, asking other people to share their "EFS Partition" backup will mean that they are going to share the IMEI of their device which is unique, by the way. And since IMEIs are unique per device, the general rule is that no two devices can have/share the same IMEI. I think this is the reason why people don't want to share their EFS Partition backups.

I suggest trying this method. There was one user with an LG G3 (US Verizon variant/model) who tried the method (the method is originally for the LG G2) and he was successful: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58915450&postcount=3.

That same method is also posted here: http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-backup-and-restore-lost-imei-on-lg-g2/.

Please note: you need your original box which has the IMEI written on it, because you will have to enter the IMEI as part of the process.

FRIENDS,

Make sure that you back up your "EFS Partition" from now on!

Here is a method to do it, and a quick explanation of what an EFS is, and why it is important: http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/development/efs-lg-g3-efs-backup-restore-t2907329

Hi @sergey1977,

Quick answer is "no".

Long answer: The SIM 2 slot is specifically designed as "2G only". Therefore it is not a problem to begin with, so there is no "solution" for it.
[G3 General] muaythaist:
thx for your helpful manner, i'll try the steps of the link u gave as a suggestion.

btw, as i know, same imei numbers being problem when users have the same service provider. thats why i was searching D858HK users from different countries to be sure about keeping both of us safe. i've stated this situation on my first message, and stated i'm from Turkey, and i need someone to help me from another countries.

This is the one you need:

[G3 General] topet2k12001:
Hi Friends,

I was more of a "Nexus" type of person but I was looking for a dual-SIM phone, so I went with the LG G3 D858HK variant. So far I'm happy with the decision. Just wanted to share that I was able to root it following the linked thread and it worked for me.

Follow the steps from this thread (first post): http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56044693&postcount=1. Note, this thread is about "transforming" the D857 variant to become D858 so the only step you will not follow in the said guide is the editing of "build.prop" since your device is already a D858HK.

The linked tutorial provides the steps, in summary:

1. Downgrade the firmware to version "10d" (because "10d" can be rooted and "10f" cannot, using currently-available methods)

2. Root it and install SuperSU, BusyBox, etc.

3. Check for Software Update (Over-The-Air) to be back to version "10f" firmware

4. Done

Hope this helps. :)
[G3 General] mclairs:
Guys, if u require root.

Just downgrade your rom back to 10d, use stumproot and do an OTA.

Root remains after upgrade. I have tested it working.

But Adaway is broken after i upgraded to 10f. Ads still appearing in all my free apps.
[G3 General] sesamemilktea:
Thanks guys. Any particular benefits of upgrading to 10f after root? Or better keep it at 10d?

[G3 General] manikumary:
im planning to buy LG-D858HK from ebay india. how is the lag and heat? when I had international one Its very laggy and brightness decreases automatically after 1 mins to 80% when I used 100% brightness. can I use 100 brightness with out decreasing by system?
[G3 General] topet2k12001:
When I downgraded to version "10d" (for rooting the device) and then checking for "Software Updates", I read the change log of version "10f". There was only one change which is "call enhancements". So I guess version "10f" is just all about that, but all the rest of the firmware are kept intact/same.

---------- Post added at 06:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 PM ----------

Hi Friend,

Kabayan...you're also from the Philippines I assume?

I read some threads for custom recovery (i.e. TWRP, "bump'd", etc.) and there is no specific D858HK. Only D855 and F400. Based on the threads, they don't "work permanently". I'll try to look for the thread and just edit this post.

I was actually curious and wanted to try the recovery for the F400 or D855 variant, thanks for your feedback. At least it is confirmed to work, though not "permanently".

In my case I just opted to use Titanium Backup. I feel much comfortable using it. Even in my Nexus 5 (though it has TWRP) i never back up my device using TWRP recovery - only Titanium Backup.

[G3 General] topet2k12001:
Hi @muaythaist,

Understood. However, it still might not be enough to give confidence to people to share their IMEI. In the first place, it is illegal (in fact, it is against XDA Forum rules, as you might have read in the thread/link that I have shared). Technically speaking, your request is almost the same as "cloning" the IMEI, which is again, illegal.

So the option is to try the method in the thread/link I shared to you and hopefull it will work. Worst-case, you may need to send it back to an authorized LG Service Center.

[G3 General] waqasr:
I have a question!!

When you said you manually upgraded to 5.0.1 you meant to say you rooted your phone

and flashed a 5.0.1 Rom? or you mean you downloaded the latest firmware and flashed it

which gave you Lollipop? Sorry for asking a noob question!!

Thanks in advance

You can flash 5.0.1 without any root :)

Thank you guys, I would really appreciate it if you can answer the following questions

1. Please tell me if upgrading to 5.0.1 is worth it or not? upgrading to lollipop made my N7 extremely slow

what is your experience with D858HK on lollipop?

2. Is it official LG G3 upgrade?

3. Please tell me how to upgrade to 5.0.1?

4. Also what is the latest firmware for our phone?

5. If I flash the latest firmware, will that give me 5.0.1?

Sorry for all these questions but for some reason I am getting half & incomplete answers to my

questions so I numbered my questions for easy understanding.

Thanks in advance!!
[G3 General] umartariq:
1. Yes, I can't say for sure that upgrade is noticeable but it sure resolve bugs and bring stability fixes that's why it's update.

2. Yes

3. Check post ? 370

4. Latest is still 5.0.1

5. Yes make sure you download correct firmware for your specific model.
[G3 General] waqasr:

Hey guys I have a question regarding the low quality A2DP bluetooth issue on the Android >2.1 (since switching from BlueZ to bluedroid) :eek:

After doing a lot of reading I found out that the problem comes from the so called bitpool being set on too low. I also find out that this bitpool is being calculated in the "/system/lib/hw/audio.a2dp.default.so" file (actually everywhere they are replacing two files and the other one being bluetooth.default.so... but I don't have it).

I've tried several already compiled files (I'm rooted and I just replace them, keeping the right permissions on as per several posts) but none of them worked (either the music player fails to play at all or it just uses the mobile phone speaker) as none of them is actually for D858(I've also tried on cyanogen D855 version of the file and several others including original google). I've also find out that this issue is already fixed on most of the mobile phones out there. It seems that only D858HK doesn't have the fix. :crying:

Sooooo my question is... is there someone that have this fixed version of that file that can be used?

I'm with Android 5.0.1 D858HK20d

Thanks.

Oversharpening

Hi,

Dunno if You still wonder if it's safe to apply the sharpening mod, so I just decided to share my experience - It's short, lol.

I've rooted my HK just to mess with PPI and resolution to make it smoother a bit but then again I noticed this "halo thingy" around text in many situations.

It would be bearable if it wasn't sooo visible in games and other apps. So I decided to give it a try as my D858 was already rooted for PPI messing purposes. I downloaded Autorec for D858HK from GP and with that flashed TWRP. Then I downloaded sharpening mod 3.0 directly into the phone, booted into recovery, flashed the .zip, restarted phone and voila!

No problems, no errors, just crystal clear QHD screen :)

P.S. Thanks alot to the developer for this fix. It really does make a difference.
[G3 General] flueterflam:
Which setting from the sharpening mod did you use? I just did it and tried the default (0) and it didn't seem much/any different. There are a lot of choices, and I thought I'd check if you did another before I try going through each and everyone one :eek:
[G3 General] PL.uckyDuck:
I just used 0 sharpening option but remember - Every time you restart ur G3, after it has booted up to main screen you have to turn it off/lock and then unlock to make this mod working.

There's easy and fast way to check it - put like messenger widget on ur screen. It has white background and black text so when u drag notification bar over it it will make the background darker and you'll see the difference. Goodluck :)

Hi to you all.

I'm looking to buy a d858hk to a friend, but I have some issues that I would like to get some possible answers.

- First of all, he states that only one SIM card is working since he has the phone, and because he never needed the dual sim capability, he never tried to figure out what was the problem. Can anyone imagine why is that???

- Is it possible that with Lollipop update both sims will work, since he states that the phone is in very good shape and never felt or something like that?

- Does LG provides warranty service on a European Country (Portugal), since the phone was primarily sold from an Asian country into a computer reseller in Portugal, not passing through LG Portugal?

Thanks in advance
[G3 General] umartariq:
Dear,

There might be some problem with your friend's phone.

I have no issue using 2 SIMs in this phone.

However please bear in mind that you can't use both SIM cards simultaneously. For example if you are on call on SIM1 then you'll be unreachable on SIM2 (like most of the dial sim phones)

But in standby you can get call on either SIM.

Sim bug with upgrade

Since upgrading this phone is a PITA. I don't want to root it but resetting it or clearing the cache in software does nothing and it seems to be locked out of recovery mode...no idea how to actually do a real reset.

1. When i swap sims and turn it on, it randomly enables or disables or or the other.

2. Even if sim 1 is enabled and providing data but showing disabled, I cant switch to call using it if sim 2 is enabled, so i have to cycle it...then it defaults data over to sim 2. then it loses track of which has data.

3. sometimes it will randomly disable a sim after the whole startup squence completes..3 minutes on.

4. Now some sims work in Slot 2, others don't. All work fine in Slot 1.

Any suggestions?
[G3 General] voom:
The cover includes NFC-antenna and contacts for NFC and wireless charging. These have a different layout on D858 and D855, thus covers are not compatible. For D858 you need to get a cover that precisely states to be built for D858! If in doubt, have a look at the inside and compare... :)

I am pretty sure there is officially no D858 without HK, but some sites leave the HK out for different reasons. So anything that is built for D858 is built for D858HK - assuming it is legit.
[G3 General] leomak:
there is d858 without HK, which is the china mobile version. I saw someone can flash D858HK rom into D858, so I guess it works the other way.
