Hi, did you rooted your D838 HKG 10d phone? I've the same and towelroot doesn't work.
Did you flashed your D838 HKG 10d to e.g. Singapore firmware version? Which root tool you used?

Ok @tainka, last question:
How do you flash your D838 HKG 10d with Taiwanese firmware without root and where you get this Taiwanese 10d rom?
This is my first LG phone so sorry for noob questions.

Thanks for your answer @tainka - again . But, you see, this wasn't last questions - sorry.:crying:.
Could you share this Taiwanese kdz file? On the cloud? Will be great...
Or maybe you can provide exactly name of this file because I found one kdz file with 10d firmware but there wasn't write is this for Hong Kong, Taiwan or Singapore, so I'm scary to flash it.
Or, another question cool, how did you know that this firmware was for Taiwan not for Hong Kong or Singapore? Or maybe you can give me exactly size of this file or md5?
And again Q. When you flashed your Taiwanese firmware over Hong Kong, you are using LG Flash Tool 2014. But when I looked on the first screen of this app I found very scary me option says: CDMA (but not GSM). Why this scary me? Becoz I'm from Poland, and here we only have GSM networks, not CDMA.
My question is: did you use your flashed phone with GSM network or CDMA? Or, maybe you know that this option has no differences with flashing GSM or CDMA network and I should't scare about this?
Sorry for this investigation, but, you know, I don't want to brick my expensive phone...
Edited: 21:20, 16.11.2014.
For someone who want to know and how - I made it.
1. Bought LG G Pro 2 [16GB 838 model] with preinstalled firmware D838v10d-HKG (that's mean Hong Kong). In this software I didn't have LTE working, but I know I should because of this nice piece of hardware.
2. I tried to root my LG by towelroot from beloved @geohot, but it says - "Device not supported"
3. I dug a xda forum and realize, also thanks to answers of @tainka, that maybe, when I change my firmware, I can root my device in simple way? (bcoz is hard way and harder too).
4. So, with heart in mouth I downloaded some kdz firmwares, even didn't know for what country those was, and try to flash...
5. I used great new flashing tool which works with LG G Pro 2 too and flash D83810f_00.kdz file. Newest firmware, but I didn't know for which country it was.
6. After going flash procedure from page above (you should change language for your preferences bcoz if not, you will see Korean signs as communicates) I get phone with 10f firmware with marker D83810f-ESA-XX. AnyOne know for which country it is?
7. After flashing I realized that my Mobile Data not working. GSM/Voice coverage was ok, but connection to Internet was possible only by WiFi.
8. So, I scared and tried back to my 10d version but I didn't have my original kdz file from Hong Kong, only one from Internet, D83810d_00.kdz - this is this name. Of curse, I didn't know for which country it was too.
9. And after second flash I found that this version was for Taiwan - D83810d-TWN-XX, and 4G (LTE) is working in Poland, and, better, now I rooted my LG G Pro 2 by towelroot with one touch!
10. I almost forgot - CDMA in LG Flash Tool 2014 didn't change anything for me. I got GSM network only in my country (and about CDMA network no one heard in Poland), I used CDMA option in LG Flash Tool 2014 and after flash my mobile works in GSM network. Voila.
So, making summary:
Hong Kong version of 10d firmware not working with LTE in Poland, and can't be rooted by towelroot.
And opposite for this, Taiwanese version of 10d working with LTE in Poland and can be rooted by towelroot.
And both can be flashed on my device without scary. Now I know it [emoji14].
Last but not least: thank you @tainka for your help.
I hope this story help someone and prevent from mistakes.

I have LTE on my device, same firmware and version than yours without flashing anything.
You just have to change something on the build.prop once rooted. I read here on XDA the procedure, find out a little bit. Once done, LTE won't show on the settings menu to choose it but device will get LTE and icon on statusbar will show it.
Regards.

You can try to reflash native baseband of 10d version firmware. But I can't guarantee it help you (bcoz of your country code), and of course, I'm not responsible if you brick your phone.
You can find native baseband file inside archive of Gpro2 CN V6 rom, in ,zip format, ready to flash through recovery - at least, I found it inside that file (Gpro2 CN V6.rar) - you must ask uncle Google. And I flashed it on some v10f rom, and it worked.
But, again, you will do it at your own risk.
And please, report if working!

It's best to ask this here: G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting.
There is a nice guide for manually flashing firmware to your device: [Guide] LG G3 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock).
Maybe it's helpful. But I won't flash a firmware for a different model, as long as no one else has reported that it works fine.
Thread closed and thank you !

There shouldn't be an issue with the Korean version. Just debloat it with adb and you'll be good.
thanks ,
the seller told me that in addition to Korean bloatware there is also a booting logo, whit adb can i deblot also booitng logo? (i don't know this adb program i never used it)

No you can't debloat the booting logo, but it's literally just a boot logo. Not like you can customize it with European firmware
thanks, but how i can do if as you told i can't flash european firmware on V500N version

?? I said you can't change boot logo. Just use app inspector to find packages that you want to uninstall and debloat with adb.
thank you,
but neither in the future will it be possible to flash the European firmware on the V500N?
the two phones have identical hardware the korean model only has the extra digital tv

They don't have identical hardware because there's regional hardware locks that prevent cross flashing. They are tiny fuses which can theoretically be blown somehow in 9008 mode but that requires the firehose.

Hi there ;) Thanks to all other guys here who have made helpful development to tame this beautiful =) To crossflash models other than LG G8 please read post 3. Before asking any question please read the troubleshooting section at the bottom of...
forum.xda-developers.com
5G setting not available after crossflash v500n to v500em, I crossflashed korean version to european via TWRP, everything is working perfect except 5G, 5G is missing in settings, maybe need flash modem partition from korean android 10 KDZ via QFIL ? I tried enable 5G bands via service menu but cannot save changes, got error save failed.
P.S. after crossflashing to android 11 5G available in settings.

Hey there! Please can you let me know the procedure of how to do the cross flashing thing... I am new to the LG flashing scene. ( used to have a MI K20 device in the past ). Sold it and got the LG V500N, but I don't like the look of the Korean apps on my phone which is literally of no use to me, and I really want to go to the ( global - otherwise European version so badly ). It would be really great if you could guide me on how to do the tasks. Thanks in advance!!

Hello, if you still need I can help you. Send me a message and we'll talk. I did this procedure already 3 times in my V50N, I went from the Korea KT version to the Korea Global, losing 5g and Simcard option and battery loss.
Today I will try to return to Pie to have greater autonomy. With A11 it is giving me almost 5 hours of screen, little for its 4,000 mAh.
My English is terrible, use google translate, I'm Chilean.
