Please select update not refurbish in LGUP.

Updated successfully without errors after downloading kdz again, problem was with the kdz I downloaded, curpted download because of network problem I guess.

Yes it will work, just follow the guide carefully step by step.

I think bootloader unlock for device is not going to happen any time soon or may be never happen, I am saying this because of the pattern LG is following for G3 and G4.

Ohhh is a bad new i like to install a cm14.1 in a future.. I like so much cm..

Just copy contacts from your google account to phone storage. It should fix the problem.

1. I am not sure about the OTAs but yes we can manually update.
2. LG will push monthly security updates to all firmwares of all the regions.
3. Hardware is same, but software is changed to support extra frequency bands, that is the reason we are getting VoLTE on this ROM.
4. Yes you can revert to TWN ROM but that should be having same security patch that your current ROM has, because there is Anti Rollback in place.

I have tried different versions of Indian ROM (10i, 10j, 10k) then someone suggested to use HK ROM to get VoLTE, it makes sense as it has different frequency bands. I made a quick search on Google and found out that LTE bands in India and China are same. So I flashed HK 10c and soft briced the device as its having older security patch , again flashed twn Rom to revive the phone.

Then I found out that on Nov 24th 20a i.e 7.0 HK rom is out, I thought lets flash and see atleast I'll get Android N... Boom Android Nougat with VoLTE.

P.S. If you flash Indian ROM you will not get VoLTE as there's a check of IMEI to determine the region of the mobile (I think its same ROM for many regions) and the VoLTE option will not show up as our mobile is TWN.

Thank you, but now I found new issue about the device, screen burn. Can't decide what to do and have got this phone from eBay shabbeerhf1 so basically no support from him. Anything you know can help me regarding screen burn. Tried lumen App some blue Light filter but display holds the image for 1 to 2 hrs.
