Should I import?

Hi all,

From the UK and want to get this phone before Xmas, just needed some advice on how not having the LTE Band 20 800dd frequency on this variant would affect me?

Currently on EE, on frequencychecker.com this shows 80% compatibility, would this mean I have less signal or slower 4g speeds at all? Or increased battery usage due to swapping from 4G to 3G more regularly?

Also thinking of Moving to Three when my contract is up in March next year, this has even less compatibility at 67%, any people using this phone on three that can comment?

I realise this has been announced for UK but with no current release date, rumours of 32GB storage and probable higher costs, I'm looking to import.

Finally would software updates be affected? My current phone is an S6 edge which was imported from Asia, and any software updates were heavily delayed in being available.

Thanks for any replies :)

The system dump is just a backup of the original system, not a Marshmallow update. You should not need to use it.
[LG V10 General] melorib:
Thank you :good:
[LG V10 General] trailmaker:
I'm from RO, on orange, and my carrier has all 4G bands: 20 (800 DD), 3 (1800), 7 (2600), same as your EE. I also have the H961N variant.

I too was worried that I would have poor 4G connection, and was prepared to return the V10 and wait for the international version, but upon testing, I prefer this dual sim variant. In the city, it stays almost all the time on 4G/4G+. I compared while driving between 2 cities with my wife's S5+ and the 4G signal was at least at the same level all the time.

My conclusion was that it may have some areas where it would go to 3G while an international version would stay at 4G, but I can live with having the lower speed on those rare times. It's not like you'd lose connection. From what I read the speed on 800 is not the best anyway.

If anybody has some knowledge of the actual difference between HSPA+, LTE on 800 and LTE on 1800/2600, please share.

If your carrier only supports 800 then wait for the H960, of course.
[LG V10 General] Leeroy605:
Thanks for the reply, I think I'm going to go for it! I can live with slower speeds in certain areas for cheaper price, having the phone now and 64gb of storage.

I will wait till the end of the week in case any UK information comes to light and then go for this variant. Thanks!

I really hope that any of the senior members in the xda-developer forum is working on unlocking the fastboot mode and providing root possibility. I guess currently in this forum no one is able to access the fastboot mode since it's locked. It seems only the t-mobile version in the US which is delivered as an unlocked fastboot version.
[LG V10 General] melorib:
It said in Amazon mine is unlocked...
[LG V10 General] craigyb:
Yes, network unlocked, but not bootloader unlocked.
[LG V10 General] melorib:
Thanks, you guys please hurry, my phone is on its way, I use a few apps that require root, and love uninstalling clutter ;)
[LG V10 General] ph3nom:
not only you... everyone here is waiting for root.

have you join root pledge? if you really mean what you say then you should join.
[LG V10 General] melorib:
My phone is still in the US, waiting for transport to Liberia :o

Is there anything like ODIN to upload ROMs to the V10, how do we do it :confused:
[LG V10 General] datshim:
where do you join root pledge? I'm a Network/Security guy and i want to load Zanti.

Phone has made it to a family members hands. Will have it by Monday can't wait as i have been forced on blackberry for the last 15 years.
[LG V10 General] shaoran_ojo:
Does any of you guys having problem on signal when use both sim together?

When I inserted two Sims, the signal always went crazy. It can go up to full and go down to none at the same place in about a minute. Moreover, my friend who I talked with always had a hard time talking with me due to the problem with the signal swinging!! Its very frustrating considering this phone is a beast. It just has too many problems.

P.S. I ended up using only one Sim and the problem gone...... which making me curious why I bought the dual Sim one in the first place...
[LG V10 General] EnIXmA:
You cannot use both sims at the sim time.. There is an option in sim settings to switch between the sims.. Such a bummer， I Myself was excited to use both sims. [emoji20]
[LG V10 General] melorib:
You mean you cannot receive calls and SMSs from the other SIM :confused:
[LG V10 General] EnIXmA:
Not at the same time.. When you change this option to sim1 or sim2， the other sim stops working and shows full bars no matter what. View attachment 3570502.. Says emergency calls only
[LG V10 General] melorib:
So what is dual sim for :confused:
[LG V10 General] kms108:
Both sim is active at the sametime, but if you set data to sim 1 for example and using data, and you make a call using sim 2 at the sametime, the data will stop working, this is the same the other way around.

as long as the phone is in standby mode, data from either sim will work from only the set sim to allow data, and sms from either is workable.
[LG V10 General] melorib:
That is reasonable, I dont want my Portuguese SIM to use data here in Liberia, only want to receive calls and SMS, the reverse when I am back home :good:
[LG V10 General] kms108:
as with most android phone, you can always disable data, even if you are roaming using the card and just want to make calls and sms, inside settings you can disable data for roaming.
[LG V10 General] wrongidentity:
I no longer have an XP to test on, but Windows 10 confirmed XP backward compatibility for me.

Tried to launch it with wine on Linux, I think it's also doable if you're willing to hunt down the dependencies.

And just in case you haven't realized although I'm sure you are already, LG Bridge got a .dmg if you're using OSX.
[LG V10 General] a_petrov303:
before the update you mean?
[LG V10 General] namitneil:
Yes i guess it was 5.1.1 and u got 6.0

No, untill now.
[LG V10 General] praisemd:
i can see 20D update. it's released today i think.
[LG V10 General] namitneil:
Could it be nougat ???
[LG V10 General] momomok:
20D? Isn't the latest one 20H already?
[LG V10 General] Georgi_Nikolov:
I was thinkin the same...?
[LG V10 General] melorib:
20H is for 961, it has more updates I guess they use it as Guinea pig to test before doing the working one for the 962:p
[LG V10 General] momomok:
didn't expect to see update info regarding H962 in H961 thread... hence the confusion :D

sad to see it is still 6.0 though, i wish they would at least bump it to 6.0.1 so i can use those new emojis in 6.0.1 :(
[LG V10 General] melorib:
I am very happy with my phone :good:

Anyone can reupload the tot file of the h961n?

Thanks.
[LG V10 General] petalex99:

Tell me if it works.
[LG V10 General] tempurastyle:
I think nougat will be starting with V30a.., since Lollipop was V10a.. , MM is V20a..
[LG V10 General] calchung:
Thanks.

It said "NOT FOUND 404"

Anyway, I downloaded it somewhere.

I am going to pay the local shop here in Hong Kong to root it for me. Because I would lose the Volte and the switch sim function if I root it myself with that tot file. According to the other customer, it still has the Volte function after root by that shop. The Volte is very important to me.
[LG V10 General] petalex99:
I reuploaded the file.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8wt8qEMXKHzbEZMSkdETWZGM1k/view?usp=sharing

Is the original *.tot file

Unrar and enjoy!
[LG V10 General] qbasob:
Not necessarily. If you have H961n 'Hong Kong' then latest software version is V20h-HKG-XX, but if you have H961n 'southeast Asia' latest version is V20c-SEA-XX (at least for me, somebody has mentioned already, that he now has V20d-SEA-XX)

//EDIT 26.09.2016

I've just got V20d-SEA-XX update.

Hmm, seems no one ever posted a link besides the one to cdmatool.com to this thread. Luckily I blame [MENTION=3250956]melorib[/MENTION] for writing this post where there is this link which is a copy of CDMA Tool v16.2.3.0 on a Google drive. I'm surprised the later versions won't work...

Since no one replied the other thread, maybe someone could help me out here. Just a quick question about batteries. If I see on ebay people selling the LG Battery & Charging Dock Cradle Pack For LG V10 but its advertised to work on F600 (Korean model) only, would it work for the other models of V10 as well (H961N, H960A, H900, H901, VS990, H961, H962, etc)?

Searching the thread should bring you to this post. I imagine there are several mirrors of the file out there, or you can do the requested act. Following that, I imagine you'll be looking for this post.

Now the trick is to get the bootloader unlocked, which is rather a bit more difficult though there are some plausible reports...

Guys i've made update yesterday an everything goes good but today suddenly my V10 H961N freezed and is stucked at logo screen (it was on and i've found it hot and with LG logo screen). I'm trying in every ways but never pass the logo and i can't even do a hard reset. How i can be helped?? Is it been that update? Incredible!!

[LG V10 General] skingg:
I think they changed the name to LG Bridge now :

http://www.lg.com/hk_en/support/support-mobile/lg-LGH961N

Download link is on the link above.

Just follow the onscreen instructions after you go into download mode and connect your phone to your pc.
[LG V10 General] ale0crysis:
How to go into download mode? I can't find the way but i've downloaded it.
[LG V10 General] skingg:
Copied from another site:

1 . Power off your device completely

2. After doing so, press and hold both Volume Down and Power buttons at the same time.

3. Simply, Plug the USB cable into your smartphone now. (The drivers will be installed automatically)

4. Then, keep pressing buttons until download mode is being displayed, then you can unplug the USB cable from your phone and release the volume down and power buttons.

hi all, my black v10 died and went back to LG for repair ( getting hot and boot looping ) they gave the poeple i brought phone from the ok for replacement... I now am the proud owner of a brand new white one.

i have been finding proximity sensor issues the new one, ( not working at all ) i installed a proximity sensor app, and it says sensor not installed....

it's not the screen time out settings ( mine is set to 1 min, screen turns off 5 secs into call and have to press unlock to turn back on )

it's the lock settings as i have lock switched off...

it's not the screen protector, it is nowhere near the sensor ...

does anyone know where the driver is or has a copy of it that i can try to re-install ...

next thing i might try is reinstalling the complete rom with LG up, if i select refurbish that might work...

ideas, apart from returning the phone again ...
[LG V10 General] melorib:
That is a problem that occurs with some, mine does the same most of the time, I had to get used to use the power button to get the screen back :rolleyes:
[LG V10 General] addyhash:
cheers Mel

it looks to be quite common, there's a whole topic on it :(

tried using LG up to re-flash rom and selecting refurbish to fully reset it., but still no joy :(

Contacting supplier for warranty ... again ...:silly:

when mine bootlooped, i was able to get to download mode (battery out , hold volume down, plug usb in and refit battery, i think , if not it was volume up ) and then re-flashed the LP rom with LG up...

Looks like a major update. Maybe LG Bridge gives a complete image when updating. You did have 6.0 before upgrading, right?
[LG V10 General] DininduDS:
LG Bridge downloads the whole firmware and installs it. That's why it is 1.5gb in size.

OTA update is only a 200-300MB in size.

Hi there

Please excuse this long problem message

New to this V10 topic, have been owner of the H961N dual for just over a year now from , I had sent back for repair to Hong Kong after a boot loop issue as couldn't see a way to resolve it.

It came back after just over 2 months with no fault report in the Box just a few days after the warranty end period in November.

Phone turned on worked etc, restored apps only to find that my personal "Three" & work "o2" sims don't work period. Only further troubleshooting found the T Mobile/EE ones to work on BOTH sim slots no issues.

Odd thing is the other sims say emergency only , there no other messages they don't say anything about SIM blocked etc and the service bar stays as no bars of service.

Have been in contact with the company that repaired it as they've been very helpful. They've told the mobo was changed as there is no IMEI info. I was adamant the siftware level or rom or something was wrong as build info looked different.

In any case they had offered to pay for any further repair as I was reluctant to send it back for another 2 months.

None of the 2 local shops I've been are really what the hells going on and I was about to send it back just before Christmas but never got the chance.

I really love the V10 (save any Boot Loop issues certain LG models seem to suffer from) I'm no led to understand that out could just be question of UNLOCKING the darn thing.

Does anyone know this to be correct in experience, if would appreciate any pointers and also if it can just be unlocked remotely.

Appreciate any comments

Thanks in advance

I have had two AT&T Sims in my H962 with no issues at all in California. As of 1/1/2017 AT&T no longer uses 2G networks. The second Sim card shows "Emergency call" only. According to AT&T we can not make any more voice calls without use of 3 or 4G networks. If I set the phone to use SIM two for data, all becomes well with the line 2, but voice call on Sim 1 goes down. My guess you could be in the same whole. I have not seen anyone come up with a way to get at least 3G from both Sims at the same time. That would be perfect. :(

Hi, I just ordered my phone today. Anyone can give a link for rooting and install recovery. And which custom is stable and good battery backup?
[LG V10 General] Boodeyman:
So I'm expecting that My brother's V10 is gonna get bootloop

So I've been thinking to root the v10 and use quad core manager or kernal tuner apps to disable the two big cores of the phone as they are the reason for the bootloop issue (I know that because after disabling the big cores on my LG G4 using G4's big cores disable tool the phone returned back to life)

So is this method gonna work using the quad core manager or kernal tuner apps?

and is it easy to unroot by flashing the stock kdz file?
