2 days ago I bought a refubrished lg g4.when I open the phone the boot animation is from T-mobile and in the about phone section it shows that the software version is H81121z but after opening the mainboard I see that the model number on the mainboard says LS991. I have a terrible battery life and want to install any other rom with good battery backup but which guides should I follow?
"Sprint" ones or "T-Mobile" ones?
also can anyone link a rom with good battery backup?
thanks

The mainboard model wins. You have a Frankenstein device.

Well that's just a system partition of T-Mobile. The bootloader stack is another story. If you install the system partition of a f500 it will show up as a f500 in boot animation and android settings.

Hi,
I just purchased this phone last week and using it in my country . I searched these forums but did not get the required response on my below queries.
1. Can I update my phone with the latest update through Verizon Desktop Software Assistant in my country? If yes, will my unlocked phone become a locked or there is a way out? MY phones's current version is VS98024A.
2. Can I flash my phone VS980 with an International version ROM of LG G2 (D802)?
3. Can I use tethering on my phone if I remain on my current version VS98024A?
Your help in this regard will highly be appreciated.
you can flash (download method) VS98026A, root it, put recovery, and there is patch for Hotspot (also for 24A).
I lived in Asia, ota will not happen if you are outside us, but you can update it with verizon software assistant.
Make sure your phone is stock or rooted if you update it. Do not install cwm or twrp when your update or it will stuck in bootloop.

Same here.. I used verizon upgrade assistant.. it gets photo informational .. then nothing .. just a moving object through wire from laptop to cellphone on the upgrade agent and nothing happens.. so i think buying Verizon LG G2 might be a mistake in Pakistan :crying:
I bought a Galaxy Note 4 and the seller said it is a t-mobile phone.
He said it is unlocked and I am using this phone with AT&T.
However, I am having doubts that this is actually a t-mobile phone:
1. When I startup phone, there is no T-Mobile logo screen.
2. There are no T-Mobile apps preinstalled on the phone, except for Mobile Hotspot app.
3. I do not see Wi-Fi Calling feature in the settings list.
I am confused because of this info:
Model Number: SM-910T
Baseband Version: N910TUVU1ANIH
Build Number: N910T-RAC-CONVERSA-ITEP.2014.10.10.1645
Based on the above information, can anyone help me determine which carrier this phone belongs to? Thanks.
Also I used an app to check if the phone was rooted. It says NOT ROOTED.

T stands for T-Mobile
A = AT&T
S = Sprint
V = Verizon
Yours is T-Mobile... No doubt.

I do understand that part. How come there is no t-mobile logo screen on startup, no pre-installed t-mobile apps, and no wi-fi calling feature in the settings list? that confused me.

Settings -> More Networks... no Wifi Calling?
Boot Animation can easily be removed/changed... then unrooted...
N910TUVU1ANIH is the original rom...
then comes N910TUVU1ANJ7...
and finally the newest N910TUVU1ANK4...

Only 3 options in More Networks:
1. Default Messaging App
2. Mobile Networks
3. VPN
Could it possibly be hidden or something because I am using AT&T service or would it show up no matter what service is being used?

No, you don't need root in order to flash stock rom...
If you want root and everything, someone did this awesome guide here: (who ever did that guide is awesome!)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...sy-steps-stock-odin-n910tuvu1anih-cf-t2903733
If you just want to flash stock rom and nothing else...
Just download the latest rom:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/8fn4xr6hu1mctwo/N910TUVU1ANK4_N910TTMB1ANK4_TMB.zip
and flash it using Odin (use the root guide above as reference on how to use Odin)

That means that whoever brought that phone brought that one from a Rent A Center store. Hopefully they paid the phone in full.

BAD ASS NOTE 4
I have this same phone. Got it brand new from rent a center. My theory is rac gets different model number phones then flashes a conversion rom to unlock the phone and remove carrier bloatware ect. It uses Net10 service which in my area runs off ATT towers. The carrier name on my status bar is ATT. The device status also says custom not official. My question is. ..what root method and which roms are compatible with this phone and will I still have service after I flash a rom?
Why is his missing the "N" in front of 910T ?
Mine has the N

Hi,
From Google official image download site, there is only one image to download, it doesn't specify XT 1100 or 1103. So one image for all model? I flashed several ROM to My XT1100 , but I cannot get T-Mobile wifi calling to work, so I want to try the factory image. Also where to download the T-Mobile official ROM?
Thanks.

I was linking here, but it says it need a link. I'd guess T-Mo adds there bloatware, but I know you don't need to use it. As you say, it is universal as it's a Nexus. :victory:

tmobile doesnt add any bloatware(having the sim in your phone on first bootup does). att, which has a lot of bloatware, also doesnt add any. but when you boot up the very first time with your sim card in the phone, it sees att, then adds the bloatware. if you boot up without your sim, no bloatware
Thanks. I flashed factory image, however I still cannot get Wifi calling to work. I turned on the airplane mode, turned on wifi, and then turned on Wifi calling (Wifi preferred). Nothing happened. Cannot call any number. I did same on iPhone 6 and it works. How can I trouble-shoot the problem?
I have a lg g4 and shows that its a T-Mobile variant and the model is H81121z on "about phone" but when I put the imei on www.imei.info it shows that its a Sprint variant and the model is LS991. I have a terrible battery life and want to install another rom for well battery back up but without the original variant information I can't do so.
so, Dear folks of xda
what are my options now?
thanka in advance
this one from imei.info
that's from about phone
that's the information on the mainboard
Trying to find a sure way to Root the Sprint variant of LG G4. I tried to do it with one thread I found but it didn't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've only rooted Samsung devices through Odin. Can't figure out how to do this. Thanks in advance.

There is a very tiny chance that your LG G4 is somehow running an older version of the software, which is the only way to root (the later software versions, after you accept the software updates, cannot be rooted). Have you ever updated the operating system? Which version of the system are you running?

Thank you for some response. I have never updated the OS, but it's on ZVG. My friend gave it to me like that. It currently doesn't have any service connected to it. There's an update pending for it right now, but if I try to update it through WiFi it doesn't install the update, I'm thinking because there's no service to it anymore. I have noticed that you have to downgrade the OS. I have no clue how to do any of this.
The answer is: UsU.

The problem with UsU is it requires an earlier version of the firmware, I think ZVA or earlier? I think the guy here has already upgraded past that version (ZVB or later). I'm wondering if one day UsU will let you unlock devices that have been updated beyond ZVA?
