[Q] Diferences between 20A,20B,20C ?!?! - LG Optimus 4X HD

Just now I found od that external update site that we have 20c firmware for 4x hd?
Can some one explain or tell me how do they differ from each other?
If I flash 20C on my unlocked 20A, will i lost the unlocked bootloader?
is there any web site that shows what are the differences between 20a 20b 20c firmwares?
good bye and have a nice night:

Different, updated, versions of the same thing released at slightly later dates. If you manage to find a website with the differences then let us know mate.
Otherwise, either flash the correct 'Official' version for your area, or the latest Euro Open, or give up them all and play around with Cyanogenmod to set your phone free

diiferences are very minor, such as no tone for camera button on 20b hk, or some region specific apps. nothing major. well, 20A has homescreen rotation that 20B doesn't. anyway, very very minor differences.

How about flashing another update (20c for example), is the custom recovery going to be ersed?

Yep, you're gonna have to reroot and reinstall recovery

And what happens with the bootloader ?? is it going to be unlocked I flash 20c for example, and how about v10 firmwares too?

bootloader will stay unlocked between 20x versions. you can flash 10x firmware with lgflashtool, bootloader will show as locked, but when/if you show 20x again, you'll be unlocked again.

my phone says: software version p88020b-446-92
Is that the open Euro version?
I bought it in Europe from LG distributor, but still i want to make sure.
Thinking of using the official LG bootloader unlock procedure.

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?

Don't downgrade or you will likely brick. And don't flash other carrier firmware either, or you could have other issues.
Why would you want to unroot? If it's for warranty repair, There's no point... They will see you've unlocked your bootloader no matter what you do.

I'd just want confirmation from others that flashing the EU version worked for them first. If you flash it and end up with issues, you'll be stuck if there's no version for your device. Again, with no downgrading.

is it possible to re lock the boot loader and get back warranty?
umm... naah... although there is a way to remove the warning sign in the boot...

You can relock the bootloader, but it will show as "relocked".... Not locked as it originally was.

How did you fix it and which version ur running...plz I need help
I just got my phone, a VKY-L09 and its running B195 ...
I only seem to see B123 to latest B160 in stock firmware available.
I even tried using the aforementioned firmware finder.
Further, it seems that most of the roms (custom or otherwise) are biased on firmware many versions older.
I really want to root my phone but without a stock solution to flash I'm reluctant to do so.
Anyone have B195 stock or know where to find it?

It's because we're using the Canadian ( and probably be American) variant. Our build number is higher, but European builds are better. Try anything that's L09 B160, battery should improve

Thanks, I took your advice and downloaded a B162 build as a stock solution.
Took the plunge and my phone is now TWRP - Rooted with some small tweaks.

I highly recommend the Genesis ROM by @Blackball , it's really great.
It's what I'm using for now until I can get a working AOSP build created. Hopefully soon, I've been making progress

It seems I screwed up my data partition in my system and cant get the phone to make calls or the camera to work. Not even my backups get things working again.
Was thinking that If I need to flash stock or redo my phone fm scratch, may as well flash Genesis.
Can I just format data, wipe everything and flash the rom even on 192 base?
Or do I have to de-brand and install the 160 base to flash Genesis rom?

You can but he recommends rebranding to European L29. If I still had any FunkyHuawei credits left I'd hook you up but I've already used them

Thanks for the offer.
I tried to install it without re-branding and everything works except themes and phone info is messed up but other then that, everything seems as advertised. Thanks again for your advice and good luck with your AOSP build!

Is it possible to unlock the V40's (EU) bootloader at the moment?

With the LG V40 finally being in stores in Europe, does anyone know if the EU version is unlockable at this moment? Or is no V40 unlockable at the moment, regardless of region, SKU and simlock or simfree?
Edit: EU SKUs:
LM-V405EB
LV-V405EBW
Possible? Yes. Risky? HIGHLY! The phone is still relatively new to the market, from the developer's view. Let them fiddle with it a while. Better to wait for a safe way. The phone has SO much potential, so I doubt it'll be ignored for long.

Its interesting that for the V30 at first it was NOT on their site as unlockable, but a few tried it and it seems like if you manually entered the device details it WAS unlockable! I wonder if anyone has tried with the V40 this way?

Well in order to try you need the Device ID which is the "Fastboot OEM Device-ID" aka you need Bootloader Access just to try to unlock the Bootloader but most variants just reboot when trying to access it...so we need someone with access to that to try it

I've tried with my unlocked B&H V40. I even tried the page source edit that worked for the V30 a while back. No luck. It said that bootloader unlock was for the LG-V405QA was not "yet" available.
Interesting that is said "yet", so maybe it will be soon, I guess we will have to wait and see. Not sure why they make such a big deal about unlocking bootloader/rooting, I mean other than a few guys bricking phones, does root really cost LG that much of an issue?

But it's NOT supported! The LG Developer site simply lists LMV405EBW as being supported. It makes no mention at all of which versions of LMV405EBW are actually supported. In other words, their list is garbage and cannot be relied upon. How is the buying public meant to know if LG wont be straightforward about it and be honest? There is no official information from LG or anyone as to the differences between them. Which raises an obvious point. If LG can allow the 'European' version to be unlocked then why can't they do it for the HK or 'international' version as well?
I had naively assumed that LMV405EBW meant LMV405EBW!
It's not good enough and I have sent a pointed and direct email to LG, telling them to lift their game. Very frustrating.

V409N (korean v40) pie update available

Hey everyone,
seems like LG also updated the Korean V40 (V409N) to Pie (Source: https://www.lge.co.kr/lgekor/contents/mobile/swUpgradeDetail.do?swSeq=881 )
Would be nice if we had some Korean users here too, who would be nice enough to pull/upload a kdz (or atleast grab a link to it)
Should be able to get it to work on the V405EBW (european open market), by twrp flashable zip (will publish all that as soon as its stable and i have a bit more time)
Best regards
Markus

Well, OTA for the models which its already released for.
Verizon/Sprint already seem to have it. Korean models now too (even though no kdz available there yet it seems... or LG just put the SW update notice there and forgot to push the actual update....)
