My experience with cross flashing different Carrier's firmware is not good. I was just an observer in the G3 forums when this issue came up for us Canadians and there were many problems - people were trying to get an update that was not built for their phone. If you can install or flash sucessfully the (Rogers) rom

without

flashing the (Wind) modem/radio then you are possibly ok - but I don't know how to do that with our G5 H831. There was lots of advice in the CDN G3 forums - I assume the the issues would be the same - but who can really say?. Be aware, the way to do this is not at all here yet - simply put, you need root and also the ability to flash or backup key sections: you especially need TWRP. We have no way to do this yet with our phone. I hope the situation changes, but for now we've got very little except a great phone that is locking us out.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
Yes Canadian devices usually have a multi csc. Same firmware on all phones. The SIM in it will determine what bloat to download at first boot. You can flash 10a, b, c, or d as long as it's the same model number. You might have to put in the apn manually though. For LG the firmware ends in KDZ and there is a specific LG tool to flash it.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] A-Gunn11:
I was able to unlock my LG G5 that was previously locked to Wind - I'm now using it on Rogers network.

The phone's firmware version is H83110a and I've read that Rogers had an update to their G5 software to H83110d. I don't see any OTA updates and it says I have the latest version of the software for the OS.

Since the phone wasn't from Rogers and I don't have a Wind account, would I get any OTA updates or would I have to do manual updates? If so, how do I do that and would I need to root the phone?

Thanks! Any help/insight would be greatly appreciated!
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
This should work

http://www.theandroidsoul.com/lg-g5-update-rogers-g5-gets-10d-build-kdz-download-90486/

Make sure you read comments. I got rid of my G5 after like 5 days so I can't really try it myself.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] A-Gunn11:
Thanks for the info! I'll give that a try. Although now I'm wondering if it's worth all this effort? What are the changes/benefits in the latest firmware? Does I fix any major issues from the original?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
Main thing would be the security patch and various fixes I guess. You would find that info in the changelog.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] kazukiflame:
Hi everyone, this is the first time I own a LG device. I just got a H831 from Fido and this thing is unbelievably bloated. I'm not going to look into rooting yet, but I am thinking about flashing firmwares.

I came from Sony and Samsung devices where when I hate the carrier firmwares I can freely flash to a global or regional firmware without being carrier specific. I'm wondering if I can do the same with LG, I looked at the firmwares page and the only thing for H831 is right back into rogers. Does that mean H831 is specific to Rogers/Fido, if so I wouldn't even bother and just sell this thing.

The phone is good, I like it a lot and its no where as bad as some reviews I saw, but being stuck with a carrier firmware kills the deal for me. They even disabled multiple users, wtf?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] edmondt:
I've had mine for a while now, it was a Bell phone and I had it unlocked for Rogers...

There is no Root available at the moment... Actually I can't believe it has taken this long, but it is a pretty good phone...
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] kibmcz:
I wonder what the update turnaround time for the BWA (Bell Wireless Allience) vareint of the G5 is going to be. Still on Initial shipping firmware on my Sasktel sold G5... kinda sad and annoying really.

Rogers has pushed v10d already, european ones are gettting various version updates, us ones are starting to get updates.

cam plus?

Sorry if im late to to this party, but i just bought a used G5 with a cam plus module. I plugged in the module. It doesnt work. Am i doing it wrong or do they not work with canadian g5's? im with rogers if that makes a difference, on west coast (B.C)
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] chris2722:
I have the same problem with an unlocked Sasktel unit on Rogers. I'm told that I will never get OTA updates. Rogers won't update the phone because it's not a Rogers branded unit & Sasktel won't send the update because the phone is not active on their network. The only option seems to be to manually flash the updates, but I've tried LGUp and other tools & none of them seem to work with an H831. If anyone has had any success flashing an H831, please post the method.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nash211:
I have had no luck flashing the H831 as well, I tried the 2014 tool, LGUP searched for others none worked as well.

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] FULLTIMEIT:
Hey guys just got my g5 few days ago after using g3-g4, for the last two years so far everything is amazing except the gps is non existing is this something all Canadian users experience as well? I know there is another thread talking about this but want to get to see if its common amongst Canadian models.

I heard 10d would help, but I am using bell unlocked so there is no way to flash kdz yet..
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] meattray:
I'm with Rogers and haven't had any gps issues. Any particular apps or programs you're experiencing this in? I can try the same ones from my end and let you know.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] FULLTIMEIT:
Hey thanks for the response. Basically my google map would lose gps signal or fairly inaccurate when it does. I am using gps test from the play store and I can't get any gps to lock in door and outdoor it takes 1-2 min to get a lock on even then signal is very weak... Maybe just my unit

Also are you on 10d or 10a for your Android verison?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] meattray:
I am on 10d. I'll try some testing tonight with maps to see if I notice how long it takes. Never noticed issues before though.

There's a thread on here somewhere of a fix a few people did. Sounds like a few things weren't connected fully. Can either try to look for that or if you send in for repair theyll hopefully fix properly for you.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Shamoo222:
Just wait...

I just got the Telus variant just over a week ago (through the extended insurance because they couldn't give me a G4 that worked) and it's still on Version a. From what I can tell, nothing significant in terms of updates has rolled out through the patches. I would just wait. It's the same version as Wind, so why bother flashing and potentially bricking your phone?

---------- Post added at 11:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 AM ----------

Who told you that updates wouldn't come? My girlfriend has a Bell Z3 Compact on Telus and gets updates as they come out. I've also seen in other threads that people just need to wait for the original carrier to release an update to get it on their device.

Maybe it works for her because Telus/Bell share cell towers or because Rogers is actually the biggest a-hole of the big 3 a-holes, though? I think you're probably fine, though.

V10D ota on BWA G5

Just checked for updates as part of my routine and surprise v10d has been released for my BWA (Sasktel in my case) G5.... updating... will report back.

Edit: Seems to still work after update

Edit2: Fast charging still works on non oem chargers/cables

Does anyone know if there's been a bounty thread started for root on our edition if the G5? After many searches I've only seem to found a few devs pursuing it. Might be nice for us to add incentive. :)
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] tnap1979:
im bout ready to tell LG to go F themselves and take a hammer to my G5

biggest POS ive ever had, i mean WTF LG, the note 7 has been out WAY WAY less then the G5 and they have root already...

WTF are you doing to your dev community LG, its not looking very fair or helpful considering i know quite a few android rom and kernel devs in ontario..

and i myself would love to be able to do some stuff with my g5 like i did with my g3, g4, v10...

note 4, s4, s5, s6, s7... ill stop here, point is, of ALL the phones ive had, ALL of them had root within a month or so...

the canadian g5 has been out for how long now??? no root, no bootloader unlock... BS and more

looks like either i smash it or sell it, then go back to samsung, htc, or one plus
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] edmondt:
That just means that they are good at locking down their device :)
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
There is no root for the Canadian note 7 Btw. There is one exploit available but it's still being figured out.

Any reason not to accept an OTA update from Bell? Phone is on 10a as out of the box. Not sure yet what version it will install.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lukijs:
You should have gotten unlocked european version or aleo checked root availability before buying really.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] djparent:
Not always possible. I have a feeling some of us were mislead in our purchases. I specifically asked my carrier if the Canadian version was a different model and they said no. I was unaware of the model numbers at the time. There is also a lot of false information available regarding rooting our version. I bought mine confidant that even if it was a less common model that root was available. The subject is very convoluted. This is my first LG phone and probably my last too. I let the salesperson talk me out of buying an S7, never should have listened.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] lilhaiti:
You could always sell your phone and buy an international or European version that is rootable, it's really not LG as much as it's the carriers at fault here. Don't dog a phone because you chose it and they don't comply with your wants. The beauty of the Android Community is that you have choices, and you had choices when you bought the phone. Sell it and get what you want.

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] athris:
i wonder if we can just flash the rogers version firmware on bell or telus?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] kibmcz:
I really wouldn't mess with that as each carrier variant has optimizations plus it could mess up OTA support. Anyway it looks like you are waiting to get exact same firmware update file as i am since the Bell, Virgin, & Sasktel G5 use the same BWA firmware.

I've been watching since then and that hasn't happened to me yet so not sure what may be happening for you? You're not using something like tasker or leandroid which is shutting off data in the background and causing issues maybe?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] majorassface:
No nothing like that. I think it may be a network issue now though as I was speaking with a friend on the same network who uses an iphone and they've been experiencing the same issue. Talked to Rogers and they're useless as always.

So today i went to a local shop to buy lg g5 they were selling it for 450$. When i checked the imei on box and in the phone they were dofferent. And weird thing was half imei was same on sticker and in settings but half of it was different. What does that mean?

Box and phone were dofferent or is this a new way imei is coming?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] BrownDog99:
Probably means their selling in a different box than the original. Just run the one on the phone. Phones are worth probably $30 more with box so he pulled a fast one. I just got one off ebay $440 new unlocked. Between note 5, nexus 6p or g5. The g5 has better specs in just about everything. But no root for g5 Canada yet

With Android 7.0 now rolling out for the G5 to Sprint, Unlocked H850, and other regions I guess now to start the watch for when Canadian sold H831 gets the update. Based on how slow updates have been so far for me wouldn't surprise me if my update wasn't until next year.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] omek07:
Please devs we need root for this phone. Me too I just bought the h831 and I didn't know that we don't have root for it.

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] GregoryGHarding:
still no news?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Levistras:
Still no root. Bounty is at about $900 for the Canadian H831 root.. I'm waiting and hoping.

In other news, Rogers now shows 7.0 as "Coming Soon!" for the G5.

While I"m posting... are any of you able to do "adb reboot bootloader" on your Canadian G5s? ADB accepts the command for me but it just reboots right into the main phone OS, there is no fastboot mode that I can tell? If this is the case, it is possible that unlocking the bootloader will never be possible for us?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] kibmcz:
Yep as it currently stands the h831 lacks fastboot and only has the lg download mode, recovery, and normal boot. Until some magic is found there will likely be no root it.

Edit: No confirmation from Sasktel on the 7.0 update for g5...

So I just got a new LG G5 with Videotron here in Qc.

I'm pretty sure I won't be using it as I might probably keep my OnePlus 2. Videotron told me I could unlock my phone in 3 months for 50 $ .

I've seen you guys talk about some website that can unlock it, what is the cost and do I still have to wait for 3 months ?
