[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michalpro:
OK, took some time to get back here, busy time.

Before you attempt to do anything, you have to know it can brick your device easily.

This is ONLY for LG G4, not for any other device. ALL YOUR DATA WILL BE WIPED OUT.

Download KDZ for Three UK and flash it to your phone via LG Flash Utility. Tested with firmware 10E (in my case had to flash it twice, as phone was FC keyboard and couldn't get past logon screen):

http://pkg03.lime.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW94J0D232WAAC14C8D217E/H81510e_00.kdz

After flashing, your phone will show OPT2 version instead of EUR. But VoLTE and 800 MHz LTE don't work. Essentialy, the firmware did not recognise your phone is from Three UK and disables it.

1. You need to root you phone. How to do it - please check other posts - I used root injection method with Ubuntu.

2. Now, you need FX and FX root addon (my choise as doesn't mess the file permissions). - get it from Google Play

3. You also need Hex Editor Free - get it from Google Play.

4. You need SD card present in your phone for backup.

1. Once you are rooted open FX and go to Root/system

In folder dev / block you will find file called mmcblk0p22

2. Copy it to your ext SD card TWICE, once in any folder as a backup, second time in the root folder - this is the one you'll work on.

3. Now open HEX Editor and edit mmcblk02p22 file exactly as on pictures attached - before and after (you're editing lines 0000aa000 to 0000a040. DO NOT TOUCH ANY OTHER LINE)

4. Save the file, and using FX copy it back to the dev/block folder (replace the file). Make sure FX has unlocked padlock at the top, otherwise won't let you override.

5. Reboot the phone.

6. Using FX explorer unpack archive.tar.bz2 to cust folder in your phone root. It contains modified H3G config files. Make sure you're using FX explorer to get the right file permissions.

7. Reboot. If you use now code to enter hidden menu - 277634#*# you will see that VoLTE settings are active.

NOTE: If you're already rooted EUR software you may try:

1. Edit mmcblk02p22

2. Edit Cust files.

3. Flash over Three's 10D firmware.

Three released 10G today, will try to flash over and see if settings stick.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michalpro:
Indeed - normally to use 800 Mhz on 3UK you need to have no 1800 Mhz coverage. For VoLTE, no 3G coverage.

However, I can now confirm you can force 800 Mhz in the hidden menu.

Tap LTE bands, tap Band 20. Phone will either stick to this or lose the network. If so, go to Settings, Networks and manually select 3 LTE. Sticks then.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thinewonk:
Thanks Michael, we appreciate you coming back. Glad you took a while, if you had posted quickly I'd have picked up a G4, but now I've seen the LG V10 I've totally got to have that instead!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michalpro:
I'm thinking also to get v10 :D
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denco1:
Thanks michaelpro for the writeup.

I had some weird feeling yesterday as I was flashing marshmallow that you would update us with a guide :)

I will probably restore my TWRP backup of Three V10D, unless you think it may be possible I could root marshmallow and use the same guide?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GigabitEthernet:
Thanks for coming back to post your explanation, michalpro :)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michalpro:
For now root possible on Marshmallow with unlocked bootloader. However, Three UK has not yet released their 6.0 soft, therefore not sure if EUR version with modified NV file would turn on the VoLTE. Three announced their software is required.

Plus, the hidden menu code from Lollipop doesn't work on Marshmallow, so we can't force or observe if it works....
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jygar:
It's such a load of rubbish from Three, they could submit the information to Google as part of the auto setup configuration.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michalpro:
They could. But, observing that LTE 800:

- Marketing action, nothing else - signal level in Glasgow anywhere in the city - 1 bar (-117 to -120 dBm RX)

- Considering the cell size on 800 MHz, looks like they have 1 or maybe 2 transmitters in entire city

- They shoot the marketing about new and shiny VoLTE which won't work normally, because of no signal, therefore they're "dosing" to specific customers to prevent complaints and make them guinea pigs.

Now, I've done the test and it is true that LTE 800 and VoLTE have the lowest priority:

- I am in a range of 3G, LTE 1800 and LTE 800 now.

- For data connection phone always has LTE 1800 as a priority

- When placing a call, phone reverts to 3G for voice, not LTE 800/VoLTE, even if I have a signal.

So, just marketing. I cannot really see a scenario where I have LTE800 signal but not 3G considering 1-2 transmitters in Glasgow and dozens of 3G transmitters.

But, it's useful for me when LTE1800 becomes congested to the point there is no Internet (football matches where I live) - I force the phone to use weak 800 MHz LTE and still have internet as virtually no one uses this band...
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jygar:
Haha like me forcing 3G instead of 4G in a congested local.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radii:
anyone else tried this guide for 3 uk? Do settings stick with latest software version?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michalpro:
Just upgraded to 10g version (the latest one from Three) via KDZ and full wipe - setting stick, VoLTE on, so all good.

After some testing (root of course required):

1. FX root - folder cust file cust_group_mapping.cfg change value to ro.lge.cupssgroup=234-20

2. Save file

3. Reboot.

Seems like with 10g there is no problem with forcing LTE800 in the hidden menu.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radii:
Do you have a link to the H3G 10g KDZ? Can't see on XDA forums.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radii:
Has 3 launched a MM firmware/ do you have any link?

I can set lte800 no problem but if i set band 3 (1800) it doesn't work (even though there is signal)- any ideas/tips?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GigabitEthernet:
Does this mod turn it into a Three UK device? I.e. does it add the Three boot screen?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obvious:
I've just switched to three and have bad indoor reception. It connects on H with one bar or not at all so I decided to install Three H81520h_00_0516.kdz on my international H815

By default I'm not getting an 800mhz connection. Software version is showing as V20H-OPT2-SI

Has anyone successfully made VoLTE work for marshmallow on the three network?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbobmcginty:
Yes. Did it here, and I can make 4G VoLTE calls when only band 20 is available.

I'm a bit late, but would this now work on an LG V20 H990DS (international version) in the USA if I edit the MCC and MNC into the cust files?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radek15:
1. G4 H815 is compatible handset with volte

http://www.three.co.uk/Discover/network/4G-Supervoice

Phone to be compatible with volte need 3 LTE bands: 800,1800,2100 Mhz

2. To enable volte need install correct firmware with volte, in case of the UK Three(Hutchinson) operator this is: H81520j_00_1121.kdz

Is clear, unbranded firmware without any 3 logo.

Firmware must be installed as Refurbish only (not Upgrade) by LGUP Lab version with LGUP_Common.dll replaced into folder of LGUP program, replace of LGUP_Common.dll give you oportunity to install firmware as Refurbish(clean).

Program Files x86>LG Electronics>LGUP>model>Common

WARNING! REFURBISH option of install the firmware wipe all your files from the phone!

Is very hard to get volte from 3 Three because always has priorytet the 3G band. You get volte if 3G is very weak or unavailable.

1. Install LG drivers to your pc

https://1drv.ms/u/s!Agm4GVhD9x16hW6IEjoHU5oIZ_1a

2. Install LGUP_8994_DLL_Ver_0_0_3_23 to your pc

https://1drv.ms/u/s!Agm4GVhD9x16hXK3DJ6xZrhu7FHg

If you get error 2503 within install LGUP_8994_DLL_Ver_0_0_3_23, go to Run on your pc then send following command:

msiexec /unreg >OK

msiexec /regserve >OK

3. Install LGUP Lab version to your pc

https://1drv.ms/u/s!Agm4GVhD9x16hWtt7p6z7-ao1Xn9

If you get error 2503 within install LGUP Lab, go to Run and send following command:

msiexec /unreg >OK

msiexec /regserve >OK

4. Replace LGUP_Common.dll into LGUP program: Program Files x86>LG Electronics>LGUP>model>Common

https://1drv.ms/u/s!Agm4GVhD9x16hW0yn3vNyi7E2ebR

5. Download firmware H81520j_00_1121.kdz from here:

https://1drv.ms/u/s!Agm4GVhD9x16hW8M7hzMs5wtcnWd

6. Connect phone to pc then choose on you phone USB connection to "File transfer"

7. Run as administrator the LGUP, select BIN file and click on three dots then select KDZ file, select REFURBISH and click Start

If you've mistreated your phone by bootloader unlock, root, TWRP install or any other way the volte not will work on this phone.

Root method for lollipop for the SM-A700F THIS WILL TRIP KNOX. If you don't want to trip knox don't use this. If you do use it and whine you tripped knox because you didn't read ,we will all point and laugh at you.

Named it TrapKernel because well its not my normal HispAsian Kernel and I listened to a crap ton of Trap Music while doing it.

Thanks to [MENTION=1768899]g.lewarne[/MENTION] and his root method with his Unibase and Unikernel for the s6 , we finally have root after I ported it over to us. So be sure to thank him for his work.

What's included:

Auto installation of root and busy box

Kernel set to permissive

Otherwise stock

So here's the deal. Stupid simple.

1. Put Phone in Download mode

2. Open Odin

3. Connect Phone

4. Put Kernel in AP Slot

5.Flash it

6. Reboot and profit

Notes:

Download SuperSu from the Playstore. Its not included.

If at first it doesnt boot,hold the power button til it shuts off and reboot.

To fix wifi passwords= Open build.prop and change ro.securestorage=true to ro.securestorage=false

Download

Do NOT mirror this link. Period.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingFatty:
Could you just elaborate on some particular examples how the G4 is worse?

For example, is it the resolution? Is it the color accuracy? Is it the optical image stabilization (OIS)?

You mention S6 has clearer picture. So do you mean that the G4 is blurry? Or do you mean the resolution is too low? Those could be user errors, that aren't specific to the phone itself.

Just what is supposedly worse, so we know a little bit more and can address some particulars that you don't like. We need more than "it's better"... but how?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natan805:
in High lighting, LG G4 little blurred compared to GALAXY S6,

the OIS is bad on lg g4

I do not know how to explain it, but the S6's colors appear more clear picture and more details

In low light (and manual mode but Not everyone knows to use), I agree that the LG G4 better

I could be wrong, so I would be happy if someone would see the comparison
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DsturbD:
what do you mean "I would be happy if someone would see the comparison"?? if there is a video on youtube that you are watching that shows another camera taking better shots than the G4, then post the link. you can copy the URL here, it just won't be an active link to click on. i'm pretty sure most of us here would know to copy and paste it if we wanted to watch it

as for me, this is the best camera on a phone EVER. auto mode, manual mode, doesn't matter, this one tops them all. the best part of the camera is the lens, with a f/1.8 opening, it lets in more light which gives better night shots, but also allows the ability to take great shots in manual mode, with shutter speed and ISO changes that arent found on too many other phones. the G4 camera is the new standard that all other flagships now have to catch up to.

just look at some of the shots in this thread

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
Because AA G4 camera had fingerprint smudge on lens in comparison with no smudge on lens of G3.

Problem when buttons are close to lens. Must clean lens more often :)

AA also did a comparison with S6 which i looked at

here

.

This is an auto shoot out, point the camera in a different angle and it looks different. Lucky dip. If shot does not come out right then you fix it. auto cannot get it right all the time with any camera.

second one they did not provide links to originals. No originals cannot verify anything so i don't bother with such comparisons.

Difference between iphone and g4/s6 is beause metering on iphone is different.

The problem of samsung vs LG is this. Consider the differences between samsung models that came out within a few months of each other.

note 4 did not get camera UI upgrade from S6/S6e.

S6e+ has shutter control and raw in the UI but only API of S6/S6e got updated so to use shutter on S6/S6e you need to use 3rd party cam which does not produce as good shots as stock camera. I do not see much raw photos in S6 G+ community because of this.

Note 5 has 10s shutter which S6e+ does not have.

G4 has 30s shutter and a better manual interface. You can save your movies and photos on a sd card. If battery runs out you can swap another one in.

G4 against s6/s6e/s6e+/note 5 ;)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrnovanova:
I have an s6 edge and I can attest to the fact that the LG G4 does take better pictures. The s6 however has a better screen. My G4 pics look better than my s6 edge pics on my s6 edge screen. That's how I know that it really does take better pictures.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
I have found them to be really close in better comparisons, who takes the shot and what they do makes the bigger difference. The S6 have a tendency to over expose in certain situations that needs to be adjusted for. They like to use a slower shutter.

The draw of the G4 is due to other features that until this year were std on samsung which they foolishly decided to discard giving LG the lead.
