I have tried to flash the 10D firmware for the H955, but my System is still on 10B Vodafone
the crazy thing is, that the system is complete, but the status says, that the version is 10B
any solution or idea
Reason: remove the branding
Aus Deutschland?
Is flashing 10d without branding enough to remove the branding ? I would say no but im not sure.
I got Vodafone 10b too but I will wait till Vodafone Release an update because lg said that they Release Updates fast and 10d is not the newest. Maybe they skip 10d
richtig ^^
in the theory is branding only a custom rom by vodafone and flashing the normal rom would remove the branding
but maybe is the kdz file not the right, but i don't think so or i have the wrong approach

I have a stock O2 UK O3D. LG website says update available, phone says I have the latest version (v10k) which is 2.2 so I run LG updater on the laptop and click its update history tool which says "s/w v21a" as if it thinks I have gb.
I cannot find who provides my updates, it's definitely not O2, maybe if I rooted it I could find who supplies them via a config file or else I will be stuck with Froyo forever

If you are operator locked and in the UK you will get the update december 5th.
It is due 5th of December in UK. However, you can flash the official ROM, see development forum.
According to the operator (O2) my phone is not supported by them for updates, and the phone seller has no idea who sends them. Will wait for december and see.
Thanks

I am with O2 but didn't get my O3D from them. Up until I flashed it last night it was still on 10D!
So nobody from O2 updated my handset.
I have to wait as if flash phone and mess it up cant replace it
Dave
You can try removing your sim card and selecting another country in the LG updater if your phone is not simlocked by O2.
Flashing the official rom isn't that hard either. I can't get the update either so I just followed the tutorial for kdz flashing and had GB on the phone in about 15 minutes without losing apps and messages/contacts etc.
If you're not sure about flashing then it's probably best to just wait. The update will be provided by LG themselves eventually through the update utility.
Think I will wait, have flashed phones before (put gb on my gt540) but knowing what cwn go wrong I daren't risk a contract phone as got two years til can replace it.

Same problem
I have an open phone in sweden. When uptating my phone i got v10k and i cant get v21a. Every check i updater and outside shows no possible update, but v10k. If i check update history in the updater it says v21a.
It is now a matter for the support and in the hands of the mobile phone expert. They have to solve the problem under the sales contract.
I got mine from a company that sells lots of different phones with various providers contracts so although my sim contract is with O2 in the UK the updates are not and the seller doesn't push ota updates so I have no idea how to find out where they come from.
Although I have rooted the phone now so if anyone knows a system file that stores details of where the update check connects to and replies with it I can check that

Hi
I just checked lg mx site nd they say there's an update available and that's v21a fw
going to update and they check the baseband for those who may want it, I just need to know how to extract it so you guys can flash it.
NOTE: this baseband may be similar to the one used by rogers canada
edit: trying to recover the phone from emergency or some crap like that. will let know as soon as the results are here, also if it gives me 3g again will upload the fw (if I get to know how)
argh false positive -.- we're still on v10a it sucks, I had v21a hate mexico
Hi there,
I just bough an LG Flex 2 (H955), but the phone is Vodafone branded, thus the firmware is a little behind (still has V10c).
I tried to flash a North European version 10e, but the firmware did not change, although no errors showed up during the process (except a server error but the process continued). I tried to flash using LG FlashTool 2014.
What am I doing wrong?
The phone is running on Polish Orange network, on the box I found that is is a H955 VFD2 variant (whatever that means?).
New firmware wont help. Its piece of **** and nothing will fix it. I wish I never bought it.

It is normal.
The branded phones always indicate a less version, but this is the same version of software.
normal --- branded
V10c --- V10b
V10d --- V10c

Ok, but can I actually debrand the phone in any way?
Is there actually a point to do this? Will I get the software updates faster?

You can delete programs/start screen of Vodafone, but no the version. (system/op directory? I not sure. backup!!!)
When LG launched an upgrade, you upgrade with LG FlashTool 2014 and you do not have any problems with OTA
I assume I have to wait for a Vodafone firmware to be released?
I tried to flash one of the firmwares from the first post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/general/official-lg-h955-phone-firmware-t3090920
The process went fine, but the firmware did not change. Can there be a lock of sorts in place?

Sorry, I did not read well the versions.
I followed these instructions with the version V10E (NORTHERN EUROPE Edition) as shown in the phone as V10D. My phone is Orange Spain. You don´t need wait to Vodafone version.

Hi all,
I'm actually using Arter's Back-to-Note with Arter kernel.
The device is an Italian WIND branded one over I flashed first the ITV firmware to get rid of bloatware, then the H3G one for better compatibility with my carrier network and in the end some custom roms.
Now, I'd like to update to Marshmallow but I don't know which version to flash through Odin.
At the moment, I'm thinking about the Italian Vodafone one, the French unbranded one or the Cyprus one.
The main doubts are:
- If I need a particular PIT file to flash these firmware;
-Which is the best firmware to flash?;
-Is possible to downgrade to Lollipop then?
Hi, i'm Italian also, and i have your same phone branded Wind.
- i don't think you need a particular PIT file, because if it was necessarily, Odin had to ask for it when you passed from the branded rom to the ITV one. (i did the same, without the PIT file, and everything went fine).
- if you flash the french one, the SpO2 measuration in SHealth will doesn't work, if you don't use it, you can flash this one or the Vodafone one (i chose these ones because are the most nearly cities)
- i had read that you can downgrade, but i am not sure, i haven't tried it yet. i'm updating to Marshmallow, only because i've tried all but my signal doesn't work, i don't really like the Marshmallow TouchWiz, if the signal it's not gonna start working, i will downgrade
Hi,
I'm giving my old Moto G to my brother, so I need to remove root and install stock firmware, as the sim unlock code does not work on the custom firmware. I can easily install the stock 5.1 lollipop EU rom, but then when I try to install the stock firmware (I'm pretty sure it's O2, but I've tried both O2 firmware as well as the Retail GB) it gets stuck on the bootloader unlocked screen. It's still there after ~30 minutes, so I'm fairly certain that it's crashing.
Does anybody know what's going on, or potentially have any fixes? There are no errors when flashing the firmware, and I've triple checked that I've got the correct firmware version.
Thanks.
