If your on stock ZVC you should be able to follow the steps and unlock the device......I have done this with activated and un-activated devices also the only way to flash the stock rom (I would think safely) is to use the LG Flash tool.....If you want to flash back to stock check any of the unlock threads they have the links
[Sprint LG G2] Supertacomonkeyexplosion:
The links to justins ATTsprint rom seam to be broken , can anyone share or, point me in the right direction?

I finished the unlock methods, but when I change the ro...ooperator build prop to OPEN or ATT, I get the system UI crash. The phone works domestically with a NET sim.

The fix is to flash justins rom? I'm on ZVA

This thread has tons of info and research but I'm getting slightly confused on difference between the DOMESTIC and INTERNATIONAL settings

Sorry to bug where do i fix permissions? I'm on stock recovery do i need Autorec and do Wipe Dalvik Cache and Fix persmisions should be there right? yea i everything you have is working on the zvc no crashes at all! tho when i did try to fix that with SQLITE editor inside the phone it got me like no LTE idk if it was me being impatient :) not sure i hate waiting for phones to boot up and that take alot of time ! i wil llet u know great stuff
[Sprint LG G2] picklerick:
If you're on stock recovery you would need an app to fix permissions but it's not required to do so. If you're not having any issues then don't worry about doing this steps. Also unless your carrier use band 25,26,or 41 for LTE you won't have LTE working

MIN and MDN pertains to CDMA and you dont need to worry about that if you are using a GSM SIM card.

DIAG mode can be enable by dialing ##3424# and you must be on a stock rom (no aosp roms).

[Sprint LG G2] shotta12:
I try it and it works, you can use any none stock rom, this is what I did to make it work.

Flash a custom rom, in my case CM11, than download HiAPN Global app from the play store.

open HiAPN Global app and go to "Click to DNS Check" click OK,

the phone info would pop up change the "Set preferred network type" to WCDMA preferred,

that work make the phone pickup GSM service.

make sure you unlock it on the stock rom before flashing the custom rom, it will keep the unlock.

If anyone need me to make a video to demo it I could.

Hi,

This method worked for me in Jamaica. I left country as US and used DIGICEL (my carrier) for the operator. When I am home on wifi i rarely get any System UI crashes. Once I leave home I get so many crashes that the phone is virtually useless. I at first thought that the data may have been the issue but then upon turning off data, the problem persisted. Only way I could gain access to the phone was to turn on airplane mode.

I subsequently went into recovery mode and wiped the cache but the problem was never alleviated. I then performed a factory reset from the recovery menu. Once the phone booted up I was in the LG Setup Wizard. Completed the wizard but once I type in my name and press next, the Setup Wizard crashes, "LGSETUPWIZARD has Stopped" and then restarts the wizard. It is an endless loop.

Anyone has any idea how to alleviate this? I am an LG noob but I am familiar with android etc due to having many Samsung smartphones.

Thanks.

Next I went to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2448960 ... I downloaded the DRIVERS, LG FLASH TOOL 1.8 and the DLL file right below it.... NOT THE FLASH DLL FILE!! Extract the DLL file (MEGALOCK.DLL) and place the file in the "C:\LG\LGFlash Tool" folder (assuming you have it installed on the C drive).

I ran the Drivers program we previously downloaded. Once complete, I went ahead and followed all instructions in the http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2448960 thread. Use the DLL and TOZ (stock rom) files located in the first file downloaded.

All should be back to stock at this point

I do not think it matter if you are on android 4.4 or 4.3. Sprint told LG to put some type of code in the rom that would block us from getting GSM service, so if someone could port a gsm LG g2 rom such as a T-mobile or AT&T, it should work without any crashes. Not a 100 percent sure. are there any Sprint LG g2 rom that is based off a different carrier?

You can flash any of the LG g2's roms as long as you put in a boot.img and the updater folder from a Sprint Rom, and the phone will boot.
[Sprint LG G2] dandog96:
I hate to sound doubtful, but can anyone confirm this?
[Sprint LG G2] justinswidebody:
I can tell you, I have done this with the g flex port and also the energy Rom for tmobile, I have been working on porting them over to Sprint. Trust me Dan, I am not a noob I have been doing this for years. I was the one who brought the HTC flyer port to the HTC evo back in the day. Just make a back up just in case, but with the Sprint boot img, and updater script<--use the entire meta folder from sprint, it will not mess up or brick your phone. I have done this multiple times on my g2, however I can't test for overseas network with a different carriers SIM because I don't have one, and I am not over seas, otherwise I would do the testing for you all. When I flash these roms, I am left with no service unless I change the build.prop to reflect the network mode to 10, the over seas network mode is 9. That is why I asked you all earlier to try that but it didn't seem to do anything.
[Sprint LG G2] dandog96:
Wow that seems incredible. i've tried to do what you have said but dont quite know how. Should i unextract the zip and replace the boot.img and meta folder? Also I want to do this with a stock verizon rooted rom. Would it work?

Finally got it working!

This worked perfectly for me. I'm using it with no crashes at all for the last few hours on T-Mobile. I have to open up HiAPN every time I restart the phone and change the settings to WCDMA preferred, but other than that it works flawlessly.

The key is to change the build.prop on the stock rom. Then after that, you can wipe system, install any other ROM over it, and it still works. I'm not sure how, but it does.

How to get a non Sprint rom to boot on the Sprint LG G2

Keep in mind, that this may not unlock your device!!! I have not been able to test it. All I can guarantee is that your phone will boot up.

1. Download a rom that you would like to try on your lg g2. The only two I have ever tried so far are the RayGlobe G flex rom found in the development section, and the Energy rom found in the Tmobile Development section. I would think any stock rom by any carrier "might" work.

2. Download a factory sprint rom.

3. Download 7zip and install it.

4. Place the two roms you downloaded on your desktop screen for easy access.

5. Right click on the stock Sprint rom and highlight 7zip and choose "Open Archive" a window should now appear showing the insides of your stock rom.zip. Drag and place this window to the left.

6. Rick click on the Non Sprint rom and highlight 7zip and choose "Open Archice" a window should now appear showing the insides of your non Sprint rom.zip. Drag and place this window to the Right.

7. You should now have both roms opened in 7zip and they should be next to each other where you can view their contents.

8. If you look, both roms should have a META-INF folder and a BOOT.IMG. These are the two files we are going to put from the Sprint rom.zip to the non Sprint rom.zip

9. Simply click and hold on META-INF folder in the Sprint rom window and drag it over to the non Sprint rom window.

10. A green progress bar will pop up followed by a "Confirm File Copy" prompt. click YES to confirm. Once confirmed you will get another progress bar and then the task will be completed.

11. Now do the same exact process in steps 9 and 10 but do them for the BOOT.IMG .

12. Your non Sprint rom.zip is now ready to be copied to your phones storage and flashed.

13. Before flashing, please make a back up of your current rom just incase this doesn't work.

14. Now boot into Recovery and wipe dalvic cache, cache, data, and system in recovery. Do not wipe Internal storage or you will be going through a world of **** if you don't know how to use sideload.

15. Find your newly edited Non Sprint rom.zip that you just transferred onto your phone and flash it. Once done hit reboot system and your phone should boot up running the new Rom.

16. You are now done.

Note: Keep in mind that I do not know if you will have service or not, but the chances are good. If not, Just boot back into recovery and do a system restore and you will be back to how you were before we got started.

* I am not responsible for anything you do to your device or anything that happens to your device. You choose to do this on your own will. If in the event that your phone should become bricked or broken, I am not responsible*
