service provider locked

Hi, I have rooted my L3 with instructions provided by Zeref_Dragneel. I thought that will be enough to make my phone be able to use SIM card from another carrier, but I'm still getting message "Service provider locked". Do you know if changing a ROM will make my phone "unlocked" or do you have any other suggestion?

Welcome to the world of Android and vendors trying to act like a fool by "mistaking" the included SD memory (1 GB) with system memory (157 MB). I have yet to find out if the SD can be repartitioned so that I'll have more system memory. But I think that the system memory is NAND flash memory and the the 1 GB of SD memory is something else, physically speaking, and that they cannot be interchanged.

Could someone enlighten us if the 157 MB of system memory can be expanded by repartitioning?

Any help guys?

I really have a big problem with my l3.

At first, I have a problem which is a boot loop in cwm recovery.

Everytime I turn on my l3, it goes to cwm recover and I get stuck of it.

What I did was,

I was searching on google on how to remove it.

But I really found a solution.

The solution was all about using the 'adb' thingy.

Pushing the recovery.img into my l3 and flash it (something like that)

After I flash it, my l3 screen goes black.

And it wont turn on anymore.

Then I realize, it wasnt for my l3.

It was the recovery.img cwm by Asus Pad Transformer.

So this is already a Hard Brick.

Is there any still chance to fix this?

Its too hard for me because there is no LG Center here in our country.

Help me guys pls.

How to fix this hard brick?

It really wont turn on anymore.

I cant also go to emergency mode in order to save it.

It is totally dead. Im trying the KDZ Update.

But it wont detect my phone.

It says "Phone not found".

And I cant turn on, even emergency mode.

Help guys, help help help :(

Any chance to fix this?

And sorry for my english :(

Hello

I'm sorry for what happened to your device, i just wanted to tell you that this happened with me once before,

I was flashing the phone with kdz flasher tool and i removed the usb cabel and the battery during the operation

so the phone screen went black and it won't start up anymore, so i took the phone to the LG customer services and they fix it for no money because the phone warranty is still valid.

From my searching on the internet about this problem i found out that the software was removed from the phone chipset, so you gaotta be professional to fix it, so try to find some one who is expert with these things.

Good luck

I have installed cwm before and resulted in some bootloops but i have managed to fix it using kdz flasher then i have installed back my original recovery but when i tested it with vol down plus home it just reset my phone without warning.

I dont know if it is the original recovery or not.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meneer Jansen:
I take it that you mean the recovery mode after pressing 'Vol_down + Power'? That's, if Irecall correctly, a yellow screen w/ the text "emergency mode".

That's strange. I've installed it too, via the market. You have to download some scripts etc. after installation. These are specific for your phone, i.e. the Optimus L3.

---------- Post added at 10:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 AM ----------

Can't anybody who actually did install Cyanogenmod 9 (CW9) tell us if one can get more than 157 MB of "system memory" (for storage of apps)? That is, someone who tried to re-partition his external SD card w/ ClockWorkMod (CWM) w/ an extra partition to mount to android's data directory (i.e. it's "system memory"). The CWM app tells that re-partitioning for mounting the /data dir works w/ "certain roms". I'd like to know if CW9 is such a rom. And how to do it.

I think that all that SD card repartitioning comes down to the same thing as "moving" apps to SD w/ the stock app manager and comes down to the same thing that the app 'Link2SD' does. The problem after the CWM re-partition is that my PC does not recognize the SD card. Nor does my L3 by the way. My phone wants to format the card, and when it does then the 'CWM partitions' are gone. Can anybody clear this up please?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ummamuudu:
Doesn`t recognize sd card at all. After partioning it does not show sd card ext2/ext3/ext4 and swap partions you can see only FAT partions.

I think you knew that just mentioned.

I tried to partion on stock (CMW usb mount+minitool partion manager) had same problem after sd format from phone`s menu.

Control Panel-computer management-disk/hard drive management maybe sd card has no drive letter or some other problems can be fixed from there. I fixed can`t remember how i fixed my problem.Restarted phone and pc after that.

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meneer Jansen:
I have no idea what you mean exactly, but I take it that you too have problems after formatting the external SD card? I partitiooned and formatted my card properly in Linux. The first partition as FAT32 and the second as EXT2 (for the app 'Link2SD'). I checked if the card could be written to in my PC and everything was OK. Then I inserted the SD card into my L3 phone. And the phone did not recognize the first FAT32 partition, nor did it do something w/ the EXT2 partition. Maybe LG's stock ROM does not handle more than one partition on an SD card or something.... Strange.

BTW. Flashed CyanogenMod 9 (CW9) yesterday. That Android version is just too damn ugly! The Android 4 Jelly Bean interface is boring and absolutely NOT meant for such a small screen. It is meant for tablets, and it shows! Re-flashed my back-up.

Disable antivirus or it will delete the exploit and it won`t root your l3...

Start Link2SD, let it create the script, reboot 'yer phone and you can move apps to external SD card. They can be linked to the system memory too to free up even more space, though I do not observe a big increase in free system memory on my phone yet ....
