If you're from Europe, you will not have 4g. On the other side, everything works like a charm. I have a nexus 5 from US and i'm from Romania.
Yes ... only LTE / 4G ... Europe basebands does not included on D820

Phone is unlocked but you will need the rest of the world model versus the USA model.
Bootloader is locked we have entire threads dedicated to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507905

I qouted you
Nearly correct. D820 is North America D821 is rest of world.
Only difference is LTE bands so should be good up to DC-HSPA

Hi there
New to posting here, but I've been a reader for a few years.
I'm wondering if people in the know could help me out. I'm looking to purchase a new device and I'm looking pretty hard at the G Flex 2 (its really cheap).
The model is a LG G Flex2 4G LTE H959 varient with 2gb of RAM.
Has this model received an update to Lollipop 5.1.1 yet? How is it's performance? I see wildly differing reviews online.
Thanks in advance for any info.
Yes it does, it's a lot better with 5.1.1
There is a thread here about it
Ugh sorry I missed that.
The thread is talking about updating via flashing KDZ files?
Isn't the update available via OTA?
My HK version still hasn't received it OTA if it helps.

The OTA is still not released and KDZ seems to not be published by LG as well because of a message from your phone when you boot it.. But it works just fine so

Hello All,
I have an unlocked AT&T LG G3 phone which I used with AT&T number till April 2015. Later, I left the country and now using it with Airtel.
After I left AT&T, there were 2 software upgrades for the phone, I received none.
I checked with AT&T, they said they will not support now, contact LG.
LG said, I will get updates when it is available, but no luck.
Can someone help ?? Thanks.

Hey guys, I recently purchased an LG G3 AT&T Factory unlocked so other network carriers can be used. But when I click software update it already says I'm updated (CURRENTLY RUNNING LOLLIPOP 5.0.1) so I assume you need to have an AT&T sim card to update your software.
Is there like any way to bypass that so I can update my phone to android 6.0? If so how? and would I need to have it factory unlocked again?
I'm new to this, so detailed explanation would be deeply appreciated!
Cheers!

The AT&T model does not come factory unlocked. It's a carrier model and has to be manually unlocked. So if you bought it new it cannot be new as the seller would of had to open it to unlock it.
But no there is no other way to do OTA updates on it without an AT&T sim, go phone sim , or H2O prepaid sim.

Yes but the latest is KitKat so you would be downgrading. Since its the AT&T model it's tot method only. And the latest tot file is kitkat.

No it wouldn't work with that.
H2O sims can be gotten for under $1 on Amazon or eBay. And you don't have to add money to activate them.

So if I got a used AT&T G3, I could buy an H2O sim, activate it, get the OTA Marshmallow update, the remove that sim and put in my CC sim? Even if I had to buy the $10 Paygo plan, it would be worth it

Yes you can. As long as the used G3 was not rooted you can OTA update.

The unlocked ones will get the updates just fine. But you still will need an active AT&T sim or H2O sim to get the update.

Hey were you able to install marshmallow on at&t D850 by ordering H2O sim?
Please do mention when you inserted that sim then you were in H2O network range or overseas? (as I am in New Zealand)
and how did you manage to install after inserting sim?
Thanks for helping pal.

Actually, you should get OTA updates on Consumer Cellular. They are my carrier and I have received several updates on my AT&T G3, including one just today. New software version is now D85030p.

Word of caution. Be familiar with how to revert to KK using the tot method. I say this because if the phone has been rooted, and all that was done was uninstall the root app and factory reset, the phone may not take an OTA update as it will read the system as modified. Plenty of discussion on this here in the forums. Also keep in mind that there is no permanent root method for MM as of yet.

I bought a 2015 Moto G instead of the LG G3. Decided to go with something not quite so large and with manufacturer (as opposed to carrier) support for MM. After looking at them "in the flesh" I decided the G3 was a larger phone than I wanted. Thanks for your help.

Not sure why your posting in this thread, CM 13 is not stock or official firmware. You first need to ROOT your device.

Hey guys,
Anyone knows wherr to get the Version B or C of the phone?
Thr LTE bands in these versions are essential for use in Canada.
I looked and asked on Aliexpress, and they only have the Version A.
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks!

Not fully true, there's a thread in this forum where someone got a copy from ASUS USA (review/preview device?) and based off the manual appeared to be a version C.
