[Q] Installing P880 firmware on P880G - LG Optimus 4X HD

Hello everyone,
First of all, I'd like to apologize for resurrecting a topic that was opened by an irresponsible poster, but through my searches, I was not able to find any conclusive information on this topic. I can see that the other three locked threads on the topic have about 1000 views in total, so I believe this topic deserves an open and constructive thread.
The question is, has anyone tried to install firmware for the P880 model on the P880G model we have here in Canada? As far as I know, this model is not available anywhere else. I would appreciate comments from users who may have some insight in the subject, but more importantly, I'd like to hear the results if someone has tried this.
Since the P880G model supports different UMTS frequencies than the P880 model, my guess would be that as long as the baseband firmware does not change the phone should work fine, but as this is my first Android phone there may be other issues that I'm not aware of. Also I don't know whether updating to a new firmware would also change the baseband firmware.
Thanks for your input!

You can be the first one...
As far as I know the flash method is the same, soo, why the new thread?
If you have an issue with different basebands the story is different but, there are some discussions on that. Not about Canada but
related with other countries. You can post your problem or doubt there.
And its enough when you google a little to know the differences about the "P880" and "P880G".
And if I good remember, I already help someone with an issue of that kind.
You have 2 posts, this is one of them... the best for all of us (you, me, and all other users) is that you start to use the "search" option.
Welcome to xdadevelopers, have fun being helped and helping the others.
Thank you. :good:

You can only install the canadian firmwares, so you re stuck with the v10f of windmobile. If you try installing a P880 firmware (like the v20A Euro Open) it will just keep rebooting. I think we have to wait for the canadian update

Guys he just asked question if you dont want to tell him which one is latest dont,
At OP
See for yourself which firmware is latest,
And here is nice tutorial flashing it.
It depends on your carrier or most likely your IMEI and the region, if you plug in your headphones and it shows " volume turned down to protect your ears" then you have the latest.
Update in order?
So, two questions to which I haven't found the answer, though it may be because I haven't figured out the correct search terms. 1) Why, if they're updating things such as battery performance and camera focus issues, do different regions have different firmware versions. Presumably, the phone has the same issues worldwide, so why wouldn't they just update globally? 2) Do you have to apply these updates in order? I received my 4x two days ago and it has version e. Do I need to go f, g, h? or will h cover the previous two? Sorry if the answers are in here, but I haven't found them. Thank you

just keep up with latest firmare of your region. Don't need other region's firmware. Development is different in every region. They don't work together that much. So no chanche of global update. Even with jelly bean, different regions will get it in different time as for example honk kong may get within 1st half, 13 and in that place europe (euro open) may get in first quarter (maybe next month). But we will be always be able to flash other country's firmware.
I generally realize that if a phone says it's up to date, then it's up to date. However, this phone was never meant to be in my region (USA) so do I try and find the region it was intended for and keep up with the updates for that region or just leave it be?

Bought a P880, what now???

ya. It is said jb is rootable. But as for 234-000 you are unlucky.
Root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180688
you can try og lockscreen too.
Ok thanks I am now rooted
Can I not Unlock bootloader/install custom recovery etc?
Or change to EUR rom and do it??
Thanks again!!!!
now is unlocking useless for normal users ...because no custom roms / custom kernels .
LG released the soucecode this morning. So now its only a bit of waiting before the first custom roms will be released.

So I can unlock using LG official and put CWM on now or not?
Sorry about all the Q's , EVERYother phone I have bought has had a great modding community with guides everywhere so this is a bit unusual to me

Not until you unlock your bootloader which, until they find a way to do it, can't be done in the 234-000 version.
Also, there are guides in this community, you just have to look for them (e.g. in the General Forum or the Development one). There you could have found answers for your doubts, as well as other people trying to get around the bootloader issue (there's even a thread dedicated to 234-000 users, and another for 262-000 owners).
Now we just wait my friend!

Well going by the fact that you have 234-000 You might not be able to unlock your boot loader as of yet.
There are 2 users that i know of from the UK that have unlocked their boot loader. I have tried and and tried again.
LG's Open source team have told me and a few other forum members that 234-000 and 262-000 are both unlockable.
The best bet is to wait for AGBRBK V20A... Which is the UK build of 20A.
Its just a waiting game. :good:

Huawei US Firmware?

Hello, total noob here. So recently got a p20 pro, and is loving it so far. However, I got the Chinese firmware version C00. From my understanding, there is a US T-Mobile version. I was wondering, how can I go about changing it? Does it involve flash or something like that? Any help would be great!

I put this list together to illustrate the different variants of this phone.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-pro/how-to/huawei-p20-pro-variants-t3797524
The phone you have is probably the AL00. This phone is not sold in the US because of political unrest between US Congress and Huawei. There is no 'T-Mobile version', nor are there any US versions. However, I can confirm that the L29 works perfectly here in the United States even though it uses Asia Pacific branded firmware.
Are you having any problems with software on the phone? If not, just root and enjoy!
Hey. Currently I'm running AL01 I was wondering if you have a guide to switch to the international version. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Looks like nsilva.android was able to flash AL01 to L29 via this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...-to-root-debrand-remove-retail-t3788326/page8
Check out some of his responses before that page - but it looks like its possible.
I will be attempting sometime int he next week. I'll try to get an instruction set together

I tried finding this one too. Where do you see an example?
I got Note 8 that can't be updated, with the same model, but it doesn't say of which US company it belongs to, if at all.
On boot there is no special logo (only of Samsung).

What's your baseband version and build number version? You can find them in settings and about phone. Also what exact model is it and which firmware are you trying to use?

Lm-v405ua spring Android 10

Sprint is one of the carriers that doesn't publish their KDZ. So to get sprint 10 you'd have to find in one of the threads where someone backed up their 10 version and you could flash their backup. But be aware there are some partitions that people mistakenly backup that have their imei and s/n in them. U don't want to restore those partitions or you'll lose your imei etc.
But, why do u want sprint firmware on your phone? You're in Bangladesh, there is no Sprint there? I'd look at cross flashing to a different rom, usually you'd want one of the 'Open' versions, that has the bands that you need. If u decide to do that, look in the cross flashing threads for how to accomplish that.

There are specific threads discussing exactly that.
Here's one
Here's another.
spends some time reading those threads, so you have a good idea of what you'd be getting into.
