[Sprint LG G2] jorgeaoc:
Ok. Back in the game.

To restore to stock, the guide and steps is here:

[Sprint LG G2] Jayanth.M.P:
Justin, if you can make the LS980 work 100% on international GSM networks, I promise you....there is another donation coming your way. I'd much rather donate to you than to those money hungry corporations.

Waiting for your guide. Thanks.
[Sprint LG G2] justinswidebody:
Sorry I do not have the time or the equipment to do a youtube video tutorial. All I can do is a step written tutorial which I will do today sometime.

The only thing not working is Nfc right? Otherwise this is fully functional correct? People have reported that even LTE works.

I will get Nfc fixed soon. I just haven't had time. Sometimes I work 24hr days. I own my own fiber optic business, and then I like to spend time with my beautiful g.f.

I think I may have found the nfc problem, about to test
[Sprint LG G2] obie992:
sorry to bother you again but i'm having difficulty in downloading the file that uploaded through Chrome and Firefox, whenever the file is about to complete it says an error has occurred and it just fails and i have to start all over again. can you recommend a different method to download the file?
[Sprint LG G2] jorgeaoc:
Internet Explore :good:
[Sprint LG G2] varunrs:
Use a download manager.
[Sprint LG G2] obie992:
how do i download a drive file using flashget?
[Sprint LG G2] DevCore:
maxthon

use maxthon for download that file.

don't install update from t-mobile or even ur backup can't save you to restore back again.

sry for my bad english
[Sprint LG G2] justinswidebody:
So far I am not having any luck getting NFC to work. Sorry it is taking so long.
[Sprint LG G2] Ascertion:
Does the LS980 support T-Mobile LTE or just HSPA? I'm curious.
[Sprint LG G2] Cleanser2012:
You do not have to apologize for anything, Thank You for doing everything you are doing and keep up the great work.:)
[Sprint LG G2] radiano:
Hi Justin,

Thanks for all your selfless service in getting this thread to great position. You're awesome!

I just got another LG G2. I don't have a camera but would have attempted to do a video of the install process. I will see what I can do. No promises.

Am I correct that the ROM you provided is the Odexed version? I usually like to customize the theme on the ROM I use. I saw a thread on how to deodex a ROM. In your experience, this should be easy right?
[Sprint LG G2] justinswidebody:
Yes it is odexed. If you would like, I could do a deodexed version also. It would give me the chance to write the tutorial while I do it so I don't miss any steps
[Sprint LG G2] radiano:
That would be perfect. I'll wait for the deodexed version. Once again, thanks a bunch
[Sprint LG G2] justinswidebody:
I will build it tomorrow and upload it through the night and will post it the next morning
[Sprint LG G2] adadxbus:
I am curious if the custom ROM support SIM card from AT&T or its MVNO, since justinswidebody built it based on t-mobile rom?
[Sprint LG G2] obie992:
do i make a backup using twrp recovery? because in phone's recovery mode i don't see an option for backup?

and when i click on back up, phone reboots but there is no backup created. I am doing something wrong?
[Sprint LG G2] varunrs:
That would be great and like you said you could write the tutorial and be sure that you didn't miss out any step.
[Sprint LG G2] coc014:
Hi , i've got a htc one (bad esn) sprint and i've managed to unlock it. then I was interested in buying a lg g2, and saw this thread. Is the unlock working with lg g2 "bad esn" ? ( Because It's much cheaper to buy on ebay.. :p )

(bad esn doesn't affect gsm band so it should work)

edit : i've searched on google and lg g2 from sprint doesn't support 3G/hdspa in france (no 900/2100mhz), and LTE just 800mhz frequency so i won't buy it.
[Sprint LG G2] obie992:
backup stock ROM

can anyone help me with backing up my stick ROM? when i click on back up, phone reboots and that's is, no backup file
[Sprint LG G2] jorgeaoc:
Hold the power button and volume down. In recovery mode restore the backup. Turn off the computer. In download mode follow the steps given in the link provided some post before.
[Sprint LG G2] bxplaya:
I read a few ppl ask if this rom is based off of tmobile stock and unlocked would it work as a tmobile source where you could maybe hook it up eith spot mobile or simple mobile etc., or is it still under sprint networks but unlocked for international use. Sorry for not understanding but as i read nobody really confirmed if it will work or the purpose of the tmobile rom. Thank you if anyone could answer this for me.....
[Sprint LG G2] radiano:
This is a T-Mobile stock ROM. You can use it with T-Mobile and Simple Mobile. You should be able to get 4G speeds at least. This ROM is people who want to use the Sprint LG G2 for GSM.
[Sprint LG G2] bxplaya:
Thank you Radiano i appreciate the reply and finally someone was able to unlock the Sprint version of this phone thanks to junstinswidebody and the ppl that helped to make this possible..... so as i read the NFC is probably the only thing not working which I'm a noob to this its for filesharing of pics,apps,music,etc. Can i ask would that interfere with miracast or slimport to watch movies on tv's?
[Sprint LG G2] ZloyPupsikUA:
there is news on the factory firmware with unlock and everything to work?

[Sprint LG G2] justinswidebody:
Well, I couldn't find a tmobile deodexed factory rom so I used an international one. For some reason the keyboard keeps forceclosing. I am trying to sort this out. When I do, I will upload and write the tutorial.
[Sprint LG G2] Artur Grunvald:
hi,justin. Do you stop with work to fix nfc issue?

thx for your hard work!!!
[Sprint LG G2] dandog96:
I had the same problem when flashing the international one. Strange.....
[Sprint LG G2] justinswidebody:
I'm still working on Nfc. I'm thinking about trying to fix the system ui force close on the stock Sprint Rom. Of course I will need people to test it because I use regular Sprint service

lg support want to connect with phone. PC saw it through adb driver. That lg support cann't see phone
[Sprint LG G2] radiano:
Justin, I tried a couple of deoxeded ROMs from the International thread but Wi-Fi seems to be the issue.

I even tried deodexing your ROM but got a boot screen loop, so I restored to your original ROM..

Any luck on the deodexing?
[Sprint LG G2] justinswidebody:
Did you put the phone in download mode? Did you set the com port to 41? Com port must be set to 41.

[Sprint LG G2] radiano:
If you are able to boot to recovery, do a WIPE (DO NOT WIPE INTERNAL SD) and install the Justin's ROM if it is still on your Internal SD.
[Sprint LG G2] Artur Grunvald:
i tried this.it still not work((

justin, please, tell me how and where i must set com port 41

[Sprint LG G2] justinswidebody:
I'm sorry, but I am not on here to help people fix their phones. Don't take this the wrong way. However there is no point in me having to repeat what has already been done. The return to stock guide is in the general section. Search for it!!! After you download everything for the sprint specific model there is a tutorial txt document inside the download that will tell you how to do everything you need to do. You set the com port by going into device manager and right clicking where your phone shows up. Then you go to properties and find where to change the com port. After this the lg flash tool will see the phone
[Sprint LG G2] Artur Grunvald:
ok.sorry and thank you

Hi Artur, I am available to help too.. Just to take some load off Justin. If you have time, kindly outline what steps you have taken in private message (since this will be the wrong thread) so far and were you are stuck. Please explain as much as possible.
[Sprint LG G2] justinswidebody:
Adb isn't going to help. Tell is where you are getting stuck on the LG flash tool. At first it will give an error. Are you sure you are in download mode?
[Sprint LG G2] Artur Grunvald:
Thank you for quickly readiness to help me. I will write you when I will start work with phone(about 3 hours). I will describe you as possible all actions which I did. Thanks.

[Sprint LG G2] mjskraju:
If you want to waste your money & time then try those things(unlock codes), because unlock codes doesn't work, Sprint has blocked the way to put unlock codes into their phones from last year's HTC One & Galaxy S4.
[Sprint LG G2] TaDoey:
Since your ROM is based off T-Mobile it should work with metro pcs since they merged right?

I just want to thank you Justin for being so selfless and awesome. You go out of your way to help others and you kept this thread going. I still remember when I thought it wasn't possible to gsm unlock the ls980. Huge thanks again for you and those who helped!

Trang Doey
[Sprint LG G2] Jayanth.M.P:
Oh...I did not know that..the seller had very high feedback and specializes in unlocking...so I thought he knew what he was talking about.

Also the listing is specifically for LS980 and not a general one. Sure there is no way to enter the codes ? How does Sprint do it then ?
[Sprint LG G2] mjskraju:
Sprint pushes an update over the air for the customers(who requested their phones to be unlocked) that too only if they meet certain requirements. This is the reason all the non-sprint users who bought the phones to be used on GSM networks in their countries are still struggling to do so with out a full fledged working solution. Justin is in the process of making a T-mobile rom to work with Sprint version so that you can use GSM on Sprint version, as of now, barring NFC everything works(Note: I've not tested or I'm not saying from my personal experience, just quoting other's experiences in this thread).
[Sprint LG G2] Artur Grunvald:
Ok. I will describe and will wait your answer when you can..
[Sprint LG G2] plutarco74:
is there anyone who has tested the rom on a EU gsm network ?:confused:
[Sprint LG G2] Jayanth.M.P:
Update:

I asked the seller about what st_7 told me, that Sprint does not allow us to enter the codes.

He responded saying that he will guide the customer on how to use the code in order to unlock the device.

Anybody want to give it a try ? (If someone is willing to try...I will bear the cost. I do not have the device with me to try)
[Sprint LG G2] autoprime:
I'd lol if he just told you to edit the build.prop. :cowboy:

[Sprint LG G2] Jayanth.M.P:
[MENTION=5687715]ZloyPupsikUA[/MENTION]

Option 1: You would have to either PM me your IMEI - I will purchase the unlock code and send it to you. (the seller requires IMEI to generate unlock code)

Option 2: Or you will have to do it yourself - purchase the unlock code and attach the proof here - and I will send you the money via paypal or any other method you prefer.

Which option do you prefer ?

Go to settings. open general, tap on apps. swipe to All and find (google sevice framework). You need to start this apps(tap on enable), uncheck box (show notifications).

Find Apps (google play Store) and tap on, inside tap on clear data.

Now you must restart phone.

Hey Guys,

I'm really interested in getting myself an LG G2, and looking around on ebay I've found that all the Sprint phones are much much cheaper.

However me living here in NZ, no mobile service providers use a CDMA network, it's all GSM. From what I've read, if I was to purchase a sprint LG G2, root it, and follow the instructions from what justin has written, I would then be able to use my SIM card for my service provider? Keeping in mind that we still use 3G and haven't quite managed to get ourselves working on 4G networks.

Has anyone tried this in New Zealand and confirmed it has worked?

Cheers,
[Sprint LG G2] Thannatos:
what settings did you use to get the data working on the straight talk ATT?

Hi justin, i would like to buy a G2 from Sprint, so if i flash your rom, i can later flash other rom w/o kernel keeping the phone unlocked ?

T-Mobile LTE Working?

I was just wondering if anybody has gotten LTE working on T-Mobile using this mod. As far as I know the LTE frequency bands between Sprint and T-Mobile differ but I'm not too knowledgeable about this subject and some people have apparently claimed LTE works. I was just wondering if people could post their results with T-mobile's LTE and whether it worked or now, given you have an adequate LTE signal in your area.

Thanks
[Sprint LG G2] t1t4n:
My configuration

Hi everybody,

Thanks to the great guys around this forum, I found the combination that worked for me, including GPS. Unfortunately NFC still doesn't work.

Rayglobe Flex ROM here.

Furnace kernel for LG LS980 here

Attached gps.conf file from justin's TMobile-Sprint build to be coppied in /system/etc/

Copy all files to phone, boot in recovery (TWRP/CWM), wipe cahe, data, system and dalvik, install Rayglobe ROM, DO NOT REBOOT, install kernel, reboot, use root explorer to copy gps.conf to /system/etc/ , enjoy. No more TMobile bloatware and updates. :good:

Thanks everybody for the great work here!

P.S. This is for those who want to use Sprint LG G2 (LS980) on GSM networks only.
[Sprint LG G2] plutarco74:
Italian language ?
[Sprint LG G2] bxplaya:
I'm alil confused dont you have to change or put the meta and boot img file to download the rom onto the sprint phone and secondly dont you have to change the build prop as well to unlock the phone? I'm not really knowledgeable with all this thats why i just downloaded justinswidebody rom cause it was already done thanks to him, but i do like custom roms with bloatware removed and the extras the devs put in it to makes. ...
[Sprint LG G2] t1t4n:
The LS980 furnace kernel contains boot.img for LS980, that's why you don't need to replace it inside the RayglobeFlexROM. No need to change/replace META-INF folder

for this particular

ROM (RayglobeFlex).

Remember to NOT reboot after installing the ROM, but after installing the furnace kernel.
[Sprint LG G2] bxplaya:
Thanks i appreciate the response, so GPS and WIFI will work just not the NFC is that correct?
[Sprint LG G2] t1t4n:
GPS Update

Yes, everything works except NFC.

I've noticed that GPS is getting a quicker lock if I change this line ro.build.target_country=COM in build.prop to ro.build.target_country=US.
[Sprint LG G2] Hathoid:
I'm in brazil, have not had issues of it not turning on at all, when it starts crash looping, I just push the power button long enough and turn on airplane mode and it'll stop crashing, this happens in different parts of the city, It looks as though it tries to pick up a signal, and crashes, not sure what's causing this, I'm not exactly sure how or if there is a way to have an error log, but either way when it's loop crashing, It will still make calls (i've tried it) I'm not sure what causes this issue.
[Sprint LG G2] obie992:
did you undoing the process? does it solve the issue or keeps on crashing?
[Sprint LG G2] Hathoid:
Yes I've undone it, and it won't do it, but then again it just doesn't even take the SIM card if I revert the process, it has something to do with a full signal, I'm not entierly sure, all I know is that if I select a band that brazil doesn't have, or just turn on airplane mode, the issue stops alltogether, I can also comfirm that this does not happen when the signal is lower or barely any signal(as far as I've tested it).
[Sprint LG G2] obie992:
ok im going to try out in my phone, there are two ro.build.target_country and ro.build.target_operator

do i have to change the country as well or just the operator?
[Sprint LG G2] Hathoid:
I only changed the operator.

Again I take no responsibility for any damage done, I haven't had any on mine except for the crashes, but other than that it works.
[Sprint LG G2] obie992:
i dont know what to do, what if my phone doesn't turn on? im scared
[Sprint LG G2] Hathoid:
Well to be honest I've rebooted my phone since I made the change numerous times, it has never not booted up, and There is another user who did it and his phone turned on just fine.
[Sprint LG G2] obie992:
yeah but still its not the complete solution, many people are having crash issues, including you. so i think I'll wait till the full solution comes up
