What are all the differences between H961N and H962 apart from a few bands? Any difference in software? Less bloatware, etc.? I have no idea, to be honest.

Do any of you guys know?
[LG V10 General] melorib:
Only 1 band more and less bloatware...
[LG V10 General] rcyh:
That's great news. I tried that using following the link before but just got stuck on the logo screen for a 3-4 minutes (can't remember exactly) and I didn't patient enough to wait longer.

I did what I wanted to root and enable the LTE bands. That's all I need. Now I unrooted and started to install everything into the phone and I am moving on and not going to try root and encrypt again.

That's good info that all h961n users out there if you need to encrypt your rooted phone, be patient! :)
[LG V10 General] Brobro1:
How do you know that it has less bloatware? Do you have a list/source?
[LG V10 General] melorib:
I was told by someone in China, but I know for sure tha H962 has very little bloatware...
[LG V10 General] Brobro1:
Thanks!

Xposed
[LG V10 General] EnIXmA:
So this model does support LTE advance? I went into the hidden settings and saw bands 2 and 4 in the LTE a category... Those are the 2 bands that my carrier uses for LTE advanced.... Is there any way to check if LTE a is working? Would it show a 4g+ symbol?

I was driving around today and noticed the LTE discovery shifting between bands 2 and 4.... I never saw it using both bands at the same time... But my signals were full bars
[LG V10 General] Androidandy:
This thread is all over the place. Is anyone able to collate the root procedure, the tools needed and files required in one post or start a new thread just demonstrating this?

Also it would be very useful if the original file is easily found so users can un-root or recovery their phone.

Then another thread to alter lte bands?

Another thread for xposed procedure files etc

TIA
[LG V10 General] ZMan2k2:
Hey guys.

I`ve confirmed that I get HSPA bands with my carrier with my H961N version, but no LTE. I have been looking it up, and it seems I can root it, unlock the LTE bands, and then unroot it, and put it back to stock rom. I just don`t know if it`s worth it. I don`t stream much, just one radio station on TuneIn Radio app, and it works fine, it`s 128kbps, I surf with it, but it`s mainly mobile friendly websites, like this one, and the speeds seem satisfactory to me.

Would you risk rooting and bricking a brand new phone, or eliminating the warranty, just to get LTE? I'm thinking about it, but not sure if it's necessary for what I do with the phone, and not sure if I want to risk it. Any advice?
[LG V10 General] petalex99:
You are right. For majority of us it's not necessary to get another LTE band. They can pay this "luxury" bricking their phone. Even the method are confused. But rooting is necessary, I think for debloat and other apk. And rooting is quite easy now and not so risky and you can unroot and revert to stock when you want.
[LG V10 General] melorib:
I dont think there is risk of bricking, I would have with my trials and errors ;)

Appreciation

Dear all members of xda and especially for those who make this thread possible,

I just want to say thanks to those who put their time and effort to make this awesome Phone (lg v10) even more awesome by getting rooted, unlocked lte band, and even to have xposed installed. And I know that eventually more cool stuffs and features will be added to this phone. But for now, do any of us able to get and install custom recovery for this phone because to me this seem to be first step of every rooted phone journey. What I mean is that we all need a proper way to back up our phone and its system, so we can start flashing those future apps, mods, or tweaks with stressed free. And if someone already have the custom recovery installed in their phone, please share it with us. So we all can enjoy it. Thanks
[LG V10 General] coremark:
I don't think anyone (at least with this variant as far as I know) has custom recovery yet because our bootloaders are still locked.
[LG V10 General] sho.mcgregor:
Could someone post their mixer_paths.xml file as I tried to increase headphone volume without backing up this file. Many thanks!
[LG V10 General] ZMan2k2:
Well, I had a Samsung S5 and an Asus Zenfone 2 before this one, and I softbricked both of them many times while rooting them, having to do system recoveries over and over to get it right. I guess I'm just not comfortable trying with my brand new phone yet. Maybe one day, but not now.:D
[LG V10 General] trailmaker:
So it's just a typo from the sellers... Thank you!

Anyone uploaded the v10B kdz anywhere?
[LG V10 General] mikhail85:
Need enlightenment

Good day.

I'm from the Philippines and the V10 is yet to be officially launched here. I got an LG V10 H961N model just recently and it works flawlessly. I know that my product would come from overseas and it even says on the box "Certified for use in Hong Kong".

Regarding its software version it has "v10a-hkg-xx".

My question is, will I still be able to get OTA updates here in my country?

I tried searching for software updates using the phone via WiFi but it tells me that has trouble connecting to their server.

I hope somebody can help.

Thanks
[LG V10 General] ivangundampc:
I think using the LG Bridge to update will be a solution for you. I think that you may receive the OTA update even you are outside from Hong Kong. However, it is a long time to wait for the push of an OTA update and therefore i have chosen to use LG Bridge even i am living in Hong Kong.
[LG V10 General] andillaTO:
I have the LG H961N living in Canada and I got the OTA update. I think you should be fine.
[LG V10 General] ph3nom:

[LG V10 General] craigyb:
Got the wireless charging mod from Hong Kong yesterday, it didn't work at first. I thought I would have to remove the LG NFC antenna first to make it work correctly and I was right. It comes out quite easily, but you have to scrape away with a blade the remaining bits.

Any one have issue with signal strength with V10?

My G4 is better and the N6P is stronger by far. I can say it's equal to GS6 which is weak

Any solution?
[LG V10 General] ph3nom:
the signal is okay but not the best..

but i don't have G4 but note 5 seems a lil bit better.

BTW i just got my V10 hooray..

Anyone know what apps to measure Charging current?
[LG V10 General] trailmaker:
Does anybody on a network that has 800 band (Europe and some us) have some feedback on how this phone works with 4G networks, compared with a previous phone that had support for that band? I am trying to decide if I should get this phone without the 800 band or wait for the European version for 1 more month (and also lose 32G storage for it). My network has all 3 bands, 800, 1800 and 2600 but I am not sure how my 4G speed would be without the 800 band.

[LG V10 General] Ruxst:
i still have VoLTE in my phone. rooted. h961n.
[LG V10 General] magicbb:
Which service provider are you using? I am using CSL and cannot activate VOLTE.

Is there any tricks to activate VOLTE?
[LG V10 General] michael0308:
Using HKG variant for H961N on CSL and can toggle VoLTE on/off on the notification panel.

Is there a way to definitely make sure the VoLTE has been enabled and working as intended? :confused:

[LG V10 General] Ruxst:
not really, after root it was still there... i never lost it!
[LG V10 General] magicbb:
You should have a VoLTE icon showing on the top of your screen if it is working.
[LG V10 General] masaichris:
Band 20 enabled and Working in real world. :D
[LG V10 General] Brobro1:
What model do you have, sir?

H961N, H962, or H968?

Thanks!
[LG V10 General] melorib:
I never had VoLTE on my notifications, Vodafone Portugal, before or after adding band 20, they say it works, but nothing :(

There is a VoLTE YES/NO on the hidden menu, but also doesnt work :rolleyes:
[LG V10 General] Brobro1:
Hey melorid, how are you doing?

I can say with just over 80% certainty that VoLTE is

NOT WORKING

when rooted!

If you unroot, VoLTE should work (no confirmation of it yet, so you can be the first person to confirm VoLTE over LTE Band 20 (800 MHz) post-unroot)!

I hope I was of some help to you!

Take care!

Let me know whether you'll attempt to unroot your device to check VoLTE compatibility!
[LG V10 General] melorib:
I am too lazy, any way it wasnt working before I rooted ;)
[LG V10 General] Brobro1:
If you're on Vodafona Portugal and you enable VoLTE in your device's settings properly, it should work on an unrooted device for sure!
[LG V10 General] melorib:
It should if it was in the settings, but no option there...
[LG V10 General] Brobro1:
Enable Apps>Settings>Advanced calling.
[LG V10 General] melorib:
Where is that ?
[LG V10 General] Brobro1:
Sorry, you need custom rom for that, nevermind.
[LG V10 General] ZMan2k2:
So, I decided to root my device, unlock the LTE bands, and unroot it. However, when I go to the post that is supposed to have all the links, they either don't work (404 Error), or the program is missing, or the dropbox file for the .tot files are gone. Am I screwed?

[LG V10 General] Androidandy:
I have taken delivery today of my H961n from eglobal.co.uk. They were quick and kept me informed all through the order to delivery.

Coming from a rooted Note 3, it is quite different,early impressions are I quite like it.

Question, I have seen those who have rooted lost the sim toggle feature and some complained of loss of volte ? Those who have altered their LTE bands and then un-rooted. Did sim switch and volte return with the original KDZ file?

Here in the UK all bands should work except band 20(800 mhz) I can live without it as my main sim is BT(EE piggy back) my second sim is Giffgaff and that does use band 20 LTE for 4g data
[LG V10 General] ZMan2k2:
That DFS file has a trojan in it. I'll see if I can find it somewhere else. Just so everyone is aware.
[LG V10 General] Shockwave71:
This DFS is from the DFS page. Working fine here, no trojaner detekted. Of course your antuvir will alert, till its for haking!!!! your phone...
[LG V10 General] momomok:
Just make a phone call and see if your data connection drops to 3G, if yes, VoLTE is not activated
[LG V10 General] michael0308:
Well there isn't... Guess I lost the VoLTE function...

Not a big deal to me for now as I don't have any friends to call me :crying:

Hope there would be a fix soon :eek:

---------- Post added at 07:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 AM ----------

Just tried and it drops back to 3G... :(

Um... should try to get my hands on a unrooted LG V10 and see if VoLTE is working
[LG V10 General] Androidandy:
How many of you have rooted and altered LTE bands? Comments please to any problems, eg lost features, battery performance, crashes etc

I am going into the city today so can try out 4g reception on the standard unrooted phone, before I decide to root and alter LTE settings
[LG V10 General] melorib:
I did, no problems that I noticed :good:
[LG V10 General] ZMan2k2:
Maybe you're right. All I know is my Windows Defender antivirus said there was a Trojan in the file. I found the download straight from the DFS website, so I should almost be ready to go. Have to get a stock .tot file so I can flash back after.

Another question. How do I get the phone in download mode. I've held the power and vol. up and down, and it just reboots to normal mode?
[LG V10 General] Shockwave71:
Shut your Phone down, wait a little or pull the Battery.

Put it back in, hold only Volume UP and plug in the usb cable. Your in Downloadmode.
[LG V10 General] ZMan2k2:
Thanks for that. Much different than my old Samsung or Asus phones.
[LG V10 General] Androidandy:

I was not able to use Titanium Backup to backup any of my app data to the external or internal memory, Whenever i tried to backup my data, it always ends up with an error – Backup failed, insufficient storage space available.

After researching and trying several ways it's still the same error!

Does anyone of you have a same problem?
[LG V10 General] ZMan2k2:
Tried using WinRAR to unzip the .tot file, and it's password protected. Anyone know the password? PLEASE PM me, I want to unlock the LTE bands on the phone. It would be much appreciated.
[LG V10 General] magicbb:
I don't have such problem.

Are you sure you have access rights to write anything to your external sd card?

Did you pay attention to the warning message that Titantium show you when you open the app.

Somebody say the "Mount namespace separation" setting in SuperSU may cause this problem...
[LG V10 General] oMiLkYo:
I think you didn't provide the phone with the permission to write in external SD Card. Try to download SD Fix in Google Play and see whether it solve the problem.
[LG V10 General] ZMan2k2:

[LG V10 General] DarkestSpawn:
Has anyone been able to get to the bootloader on the H961n? Ive tried every known way all the way back to the Droid X and no success. Im slowly attempting to persuade DHacker into atleast look into doing minor work for this version but not pushing until I can get to the bootloader.
[LG V10 General] Shockwave71:
I will look into it. Maybe i took the wrong files.....stay tuned!!!

A password for the tot????

Download and flash it. You need no password.

Or am i wrong???
[LG V10 General] Androidandy:
Am I right in thinking that when( ha, when) Marshmallow is sent out OTA for the H961N that someone will capture the download, root it and make it available for the developers community? Or am I just dreaming?

[LG V10 General] Androidandy:
think I have gathered the necessary files to complete root H961N.

I have got LGUP,

the DLL file(to insert into LGUP),

the Rooted H961 TOT file(checked the MD5-correct)

I have also got LG Bridge software(Hong Kong LG website)-----Question here, do I need to install this or will LGUP find the V10 usb drivers?

The Procedure

phone must have 'oem unlock' and 'USB debugging' set on

LGUP run as administrator

Procedure for phone into Download mode- switch off, pull battery, fit battery whilst holding Vol up only- keep holding whilst insert usb lead into phone. LGUP should recognize phone.

Select TOT file and flash under refurbish button.

Wait for process to complete

Anybody please chip in if anything I have said is wrong!
[LG V10 General] melorib:
LGUP is enough
[LG V10 General] Androidandy:
Just noticed from where i got the LGUP prog. I need to install the DLL first that came with it, Is this right or do I install LGUP and then insert the V10 specific DLL?
[LG V10 General] melorib:
Install first to have the “place” for the dll

I'm following the instructions on page 41, for unlocking the LTE bands on the phone, but when I try to write the correct bands for my carrier, DFS CDMA tool says it's demo mode, and won't write the commands to unlock the bands. I'm running it as administrator, and getting rid of superfluous windows, but I'm having trouble, it says I have to buy DFS. The download in that instruction section is gone. Does anyone have an unlocked version of DFS that they could link to, because the one I have want's me to buy it, and I'd rather not, with the Canadian dollar sucking right now.

[LG V10 General] ZMan2k2:
DFS CDMA program needed to change settings and turn on LTE is missing. I tried the new version, even paid for it, and according to the specialist I chatted with over chat, it doesn't support our phone. So, I'm getting a refund on the purchase. We need the version that was linked in my post a page back, the unlocked v.11 program, in order to unlock LTE here in NA. But no one seems to have it, or hasn't uploaded it, despite my question.

[LG V10 General] ZMan2k2:
Okay, I now have LTE on my phone. The trick, in the instructions that I linked to, are the spaces in the command under SU Shell. It should be “echo1_>_/”...etc. Those spaces were what was keeping me from getting the phone into diagnostic mode. Put those in, followed the rest of the instructions, and I'm set. Small things. :o
[LG V10 General] melorib:
From GSMarena:

I just got the H962 model. Allow me to compare and contrast it to the H961N:

1.The H962 comes with a charger that has an American plug. The H961N comes with an asian plug and will require a special adapter if you use it in the United States. So the H962 has what you need to charge it right out of the box in the US.

2. The default language on the H962 is in english. The default language on the H961N is some asian language(probably Korean) and so when you boot the H961n up the first time the setup screen wont be in english.

3. The H962 is not tied to any phone carrier. And so it has absolutely zero carrier bloatware apps and it also has absolutely no carrier tramp stamp on it. The H961N is tied to a Korean carrier (LG's Uplus carrier) and so you will see the Uplus stamp on the back of the phone, you will also see it on the boot up screen, and you will see plenty of korean language Uplus bloatware apps that will take an hour to uninstall. The H962 is the pure clean carrier free version and only shows the LG logo on bootup and has the LG logo stamp on the back.

4. The H962 has an fm radio and comes with an fm Radio app installed on it. The H961N also has an fm radio with the radio app.

5. Both the H962 and H961n provide the same band support in the United States. Neither will support 4G in the US.

6. Both H962 and H961N have 64GB internal storage.

So with this, you can see that the H962 is the better variant to have over the H961n. NewEgg.com sells the H962 (they have it incorrectly listed as H961n, but it is actually H962). You can probably find the H962 at other online retailers as well.
[LG V10 General] dammie2great:
Thank you for the information. I will request for H962 today before my order is shipped tomorrow.
[LG V10 General] EnIXmA:
My h961n came with 0 carrier bloat and no carrier logo on the lg screen while bootup... I ordered from amazon and they shipped with the U.S. wall adapter for free.

There are also no carrier logos found on the back and no carrier bloat， but yes，the setup was in Korean language
[LG V10 General] ZMan2k2:
I got mine from Expansys.ca, no carrier bloat, no logos, and mine was in Greek.
[LG V10 General] petalex99:
My H961N: no carrier bloatware or logo I ordered from a local shop. Setup was in English.. Wall adapter for free. And more, I'we rooted it!!

Lost the sim toggle feature

Updated my phone (H961N dual SIM) using LGUP, from V10B (SEA-XX) to V10c (GLOBAL???) variant.

I realized that lost the sim toggle feature. (SIM switch button on Home Touch Buttons bar at the bottom of the display is not working / not switch between SIM cards).

I did factory restore, and reinstallation (LG Bridge).

The problem is not solved.

I see that another user also raised the issue (for example Androidandy --> #807 )

Anyone know the solution?
