Any software to port the rom... Or can i just install the rom directly?

I am not able to download the kdz... Its showing hash not found
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bupreno:
Have u guys noticed a few glitches with this rom?

Like when u swiitch on data or wifi the initial notifications of whatsapp lag.. Sometimes the phone skips a few animations .. Lenovo conect 2 app lags so badly whenever switched on ,i just doubt sometimes if this phone actually has 820 processor..

Overall smoothness was better in marshmallow..

I think a proper h860 rom rather than h860n rom might work better on our phones..

Is there any other firmware with volte ? Like SEA or african. Etc ?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] harishbandari:

UPDATE: 20b version is out now, download link: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h860n-firmwares/

Thanks to lg-firmwares.com for providing the download.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ajeethpx:
I am from India. I recently bought the LG-G5 H860 (Made in Korea in April2016) with version v10c. It didn't have volte functionality even after upgrading to v10k-AME. I used Jio sim using Jio4GSim app for volte calls. Yesterday I updated to version v10m-AME-xx and suddenly the volte icon appeared in quick settings, however with a slash across it (disabled?). I am unable to activate volte and there is nothing in call settings for the same.

The phone update tells me that version v20a is available over OTA.

Can anyone say whether Volte is available in this new version for AME region?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] parthabhatta:
This is HK version. Will it be VoLTE compatible in India?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Techno'CRACKS':
Many people have reported they lost VoLTE after v20b update.

I personally don't have jio sim to test, hence initially assumed this will support VoLTE as the previous version supports the same.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] prannoytambe:
Have you flashed the newer version ? any changes and what is the security patch month ?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] zbiba:
No VoLTE!

Originally my device came with the TWN android version. Then i upgraded to the nougat v20a HK version back in november and this way gaininig VoLTE. Lastly last night i upgraded to v20b but unfortunately that resulted in loosing VoLTE. Then i did a factory reset, to on avail...:(.

The security patch: February 1, 2017.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] prannoytambe:
Anyone else having same issue regarding volte ?, I will flash it in evening if I lose volte then going back to TWN N
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] parthabhatta:
Just now I flashed this 20b HK in my H860N made in India device over the earlier firmware of 20a OPEN ESA probably Philippines version (used to show IND in software menu). The process went through smoothly and the device is running great. Yet to check the volte function since i don't have a JIO SIM right now.

The security patch is of 1st Feb 2017
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] sai444:
I think model number for Indian LG G5 is H860.

H860N isn't Indian model.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] abbasalinathani:
V20b

Hey, V20b does not support VoLTE. I got OTA update and it updated to V20b and suddenly VoLTE disappeared.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] parthabhatta:
My bad. It's indeed H860 not H860N. An unwanted slip-regretted.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] sai444:

Hello everyone!

I'm from Latin America, Uruguay. I own a LG G5 H860 (4g/3g/2g working perfectly). My device were updated to V20a (TWN) via OTA. Now I'm enjoying V20b thanks to this post's author.

Thank you very much!
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] prannoytambe:
Reverting back to 20a from 20b

Easy way just needs Lg up and 20a kdz. Just connect phone , link the 20a kdz and use upgrade option. Done !
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nostromo76:
Regards VOLte option, did you experienced any other anomalies?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] parthabhatta:
Flashed HK 20b. Lost volte. H860. I don't think i can flash back to Philippines 20a. Can i?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] guyluvsgals:
yes you can
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] prannoytambe:
No nothing different just no VoLte and didn't use that much time as VoLte was primary need
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] parthabhatta:
Which option UPGRADE or REFURBISH?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] zbiba:
Upgrade!

You are advised to choose UPGRADE.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] YassGo:
I upgraded from 20a AME to 20b HK and evrything is great. I had lot of screen burn in and with 20b didn't notice any burn these last days :). Anyone else ?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] parthabhatta:
Came Back to ESA 20A and VoLTE is back.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] prannoytambe:
Any reason to use SEA ? Differences from HK ?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] parthabhatta:
VoLTE is back in my H860 which broke in HK version. Since this version shows V20a-IND on flashing this works more reliably for my device if both the SIMs are used(including JIO SIM in either slot 1 or 2).
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] prannoytambe:
SEA 20b is also available does it have same issue of losing volte as of HK 20b. I am using HK 20a with same as u said but didn't have any issues yet . What was your original kdz region ?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] parthabhatta:
I didn't knew that 20b ESA PHILLIPINES version (why SEA??) is also available. Good to know that. Will try to flash that if i get a DL link. I dont know my original kdz version, but it should be the one made for Indian devices since its H860, a made in India device. What was your original kdz version?

Edit: Got you. You are talking about SEA Singapore version whereas i am talking about ESA Philippines version. I have never flashed SEA, can't say about that. But Philippines version i.e., ESA when flashed in H860 shows thefirmware as INDIAN.

Regarding HK I flashed HK 20a which worked good. But HK 20b flashed over ESA 20a screwed my device - the device worked good for single SIM but when a 2nd JIO SIM was inserted in either slot my original SIM stopped functioning till i took out the JIO SIM. What i feel now, a hard reset could have solved the issue then but i then went back to ESA 20a ad the device is my primary device working as a daily driver. Point to be noted is ESA 20a when rolled back from / over HK 20b, there were a series of force closures and i was afraid i wouldn't be able to use my device. But then i hard reset the ESA20a and everything is working now and battery seems good too. Phone runs comparatively cooler. I will wait till ESA 20b comes out for Philippines or dedicated INDIAN 20b version comes out.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] prannoytambe:
My bad i thought you mistyped SAE to ESA , I have TW as original one, don't know why battery backup isn't same as TW on HK. Waiting for jio offer to end then will roll back to TW

How much SOT you guys are getting on Indian H860?

I am not even getting 2 hours
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] parthabhatta:
I had to reset the phone. Without reset the phone was becoming hot and battery consumption was high.note it seems to be good. Key me pass a few more days to see the actual performance.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] shivaagarwal1:
I did everything. Rest, change of battery and change of Board.

How much is your SOT? Single Sim or dual?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] parthabhatta:
Dual SIM AIRTEL-1 JIO-2. Net on sim 2. SOT not yet assessed. Let it run four at least one cycle. But should be more than 3 hours for my use which is higher than normal.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] shivaagarwal1:
What was it before Nougat i.e. on MM?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] parthabhatta:
Sorry. I don't follow SOT very closely. But I can tell you it was much lesser and the phone used to get hot very soon. Since I have upgraded to most a couple of months ago I can't recall the SOT on MM.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] parthabhatta:
Uploaded three screen shots. See if they are of any help to you.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] shivaagarwal1:
See with just 18 mins of Screen time its already 77%. Not cool
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] parthabhatta:
But won't you count that the device is running 12 hours on battery and that requires energy too for GSM connectivity with two SIMS as also background 4G data and GPS always on. I think these factors need to be taken into account too. Going by your explanation if i keep my phone unused on deep sleep mode and never used - the battery should last for infinite time which is not practically possible. Other opinions are invited.

According to me i my satisfied with my battery performance.

Moreover you can see screen display has only consumed 1% of battery which satisfies only 18 minutes of SOT whereas phone idle state had consumed 6% of battery and google play services had consumed 5% of battery which i think is required for running the device.

I have a nexus 5x, running on 7.1.2, which i seldom use but always kept ON with a JIO sim and 4G data and GPRS always on, which means that it is in deep sleep mode most of the time - thereby reducing SOT to minimum. But even then the battery exhausts after 1.5 to 2 days max.

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] sai444:
After updating to V20e Indian firmware on Indian model did anyone else observed that fast charging is pretty slow compared to previous Android 6.0 firmware? Or is it mine that is slow charging?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] shivaagarwal1:
Same here..
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] parthabhatta:
Seems slower than ESA V20a.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] sai444:
So any workaround for this slow charging? As reset or reflashing the firmware doesn't do any change?

And one more thing even the ram management seems to be bad after the update. With same setup and usage I am left with max 1GB free ram and phone shutters with heavy usage.

I guess there's no way to rollback to previous version right?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Viznu93:
Yup... Fast charging has become slow

4. Any issues found ?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] prannoytambe:
ESA N kdz on TWN model

Updated to H86020e_00_OPEN_ESA_DS_OP_0125 (Indian KDZ) , not showing as Indian model. UI seems to changed from HK version.

Changes:

1. Dialer switches to 1 button and 2 button as per Lte and 2g sim switch.

2. Smart forwarding added for dual sim usages.

3.Smart doctor same as smart cleaning but UI changed.

4.Internet connectivity show on range bar instead of separate connection arrow on Mobile data.

5.No VoLTW switch now automatically working.

No issues found yet VoLTE tested and Working on JIO . Upgraded device via UP and gave a factory reset. Charging seems to be working normally no issues.

2 How fast is Hong Kong update releases(getting monthly security patch on twn).

3. Read hardware is different (frequency band) in hk will it make any difference or issue

4. I am too using H860 twn, anytime if there is issue can it be reverted to twn rom.

Finally a suggestion from you , should I wait for Indian firmware with support to VoLTE. Does indian firmware get updates regularly.

Need VoLTE and good rom so switching. Please do suggest [MENTION=5287957]Techno'CRACKS'[/MENTION]

Hi! This thread work for my G5 860N look the picture? And any tutorial to guide for my is my first time with a lg. Before i have samsung..

And other question apart of this thread you know in how time the bootloader for this device is unlock? Or any new of this..
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Techno'CRACKS':
1. I am not sure about the OTAs but yes we can manually update.

2. LG will push monthly security updates to all firmwares of all the regions.

3. Hardware is same, but software is changed to support extra frequency bands, that is the reason we are getting VoLTE on this ROM.

4. Yes you can revert to TWN ROM but that should be having same security patch that your current ROM has, because there is Anti Rollback in place.

I have tried different versions of Indian ROM (10i, 10j, 10k) then someone suggested to use HK ROM to get VoLTE, it makes sense as it has different frequency bands. I made a quick search on Google and found out that LTE bands in India and China are same. So I flashed HK 10c and soft briced the device as its having older security patch , again flashed twn Rom to revive the phone.

Then I found out that on Nov 24th 20a i.e 7.0 HK rom is out, I thought lets flash and see atleast I'll get Android N... Boom Android Nougat with VoLTE.

P.S. If you flash Indian ROM you will not get VoLTE as there's a check of IMEI to determine the region of the mobile (I think its same ROM for many regions) and the VoLTE option will not show up as our mobile is TWN.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Techno'CRACKS':
Yes it will work, just follow the guide carefully step by step.

I think bootloader unlock for device is not going to happen any time soon or may be never happen, I am saying this because of the pattern LG is following for G3 and G4.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] sai444:
No it won't work in any LG devices.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lalitchauhan2013:
I was asking this for enable night mode tiles. I think Lg should develop blue light filter features as Samsung did in nougat.

And a feature to change display resolution according to usage. This will help in improve battery life.
