Hi all,

looking to replace my reliable razr maxx for lg g2, but please what is difference between d802 and docomo L-01F, mainly could I install stock UK rom on docomo and all features are same? I live in Uk but definitely need 32 gb version, or even Korean could do if 4g is working in UK, not sure what difference will do smaller battery. Many thanks for any advice or help...

Ok, 24 hours, 83 views, an still no one know different, there must be few people on xda who using L-01F, and they now what is same, like 32 gb space like on d802, and they must know what is little bit different, like maybe 3g or 4 g support, or something else, please still waiting, looking for advice or help, or at least link to website where I could full correct spec for L-01F. Many thanks.

My guess is you've seen this on ebay:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-LG-G2...09927?pt=UK_Mobile_Phones&hash=item35d7ab8947

Spec is here, let google translate help you with the Kanji:
https://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/product/smart_phone/l01f/spec.html

Main differences are addition of the 1-seg TV tuner, slightly smaller battery and some 4G frequencies not used in Europe. It's also going to come with a lot of strange Japanese carrier bloatware.

Can it be bootloader unlocked and a EU rom loaded on there? IDK :confused:

Many thanks t-bon3, very useful, I wasn't aware about tv??? :) can't see benefit, smaller battery is not big issue, not sure if is replaceable or not, I was aware about different 4g , but not sure is they still have 4g which work fine in uk, you are spot on - about ebay, I failed managed to buy good one for reasonable price, still not sure about loading on to l-01f stock eu rom? but thanks again, after couple days, one person to managed to help, thank you.

Well looking at some info it seems the normal UK model the LG D802 has support for 5 LTE bands: 800/900/1800/2100/2600
In the UK we currently use 3 LTE bands: 800/1800/2600 800: O2/Vodafone/3, 1800: EE/3, 2600: EE (from wikipedia E&OE)
The Japanese model does 3 LTE bands 800/1500/2100

So as long as you don't want to use EE's 4G network you might be OK.

Also there is an AOSP ROM for the L-01F right here on XDA see: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2686131

No sign of anyone putting the stock LG global ROM on the Japanese hardware yet though.

I was also looking on ebay for a 32GB G2, gave up in the end and picked up a nearly new 16GB for £200.

It's a definite no then, buddy! With the 16 gb model you'll only have 10gb storage available. You can get a microsd reader keyhanger but that's not practical. I think it's meenova.com?

I've seen LG G2 L-01F docomo 32 GB version at a nice price on some websites but I cannot find any relevant information about putting the stock LG G2 rom on the docomo version of G2.

Hi, I find new D802 with 32 gb for reasonable price, then I decided to buy this model, still believe L-01F is reasonable alternative.

How much have you payed for LG G2 L-01F docomo 32 GB ? Did you managed to replace the software on docomo with the normal LG G2? With the phone working properly afterwards of course :)
