No, because I had a clean imei Sprint G2 unlocked with Justin's rom on T-Mobile and it worked flawlessly. I sold that one for a profit, and went to buy another one but this time it had a bad esn/imei that was reported as stolen so it couldn't be activated on T-Mobile. Plain and simple, clean esn/imei and it's okay to be activated. Bad esn/imei because of reported stolen will not work at all on T-Mobile.

[Sprint LG G2] ceyo14:
From what i see here you are simulating actions, as in for theme testing. Go to setting and uncheck simulate actions for theme testing... try it then

You even checked simulate failure for testing... :)

And the usb-otg can't mount because you are not using it.... that's for external hard drives or pendrives... don't worry about it.

Also, can't believe no one caught that in 2 days... i guess no one bothered to look at the pictures...

Push all the files again, i dont know if they would transfer in simulating actions mode...

I've been reading through most of this thread and still confused. My goal is to get LS980 to work on AT&T. The link in the OP leads to Permanent SIM Unlock for LS980 (OTA, APN). There I found 2 methods: justin's ROM and cm11. Here are my questions:

1- Where is justin's ROM and its instruction? ( is it "sprintTmobile.zip"? )

2- They say justin's rom is more stable and NFC works. Is it correct? Some say it needs to edit build.prop. What is that?

I appreciate your help!
[Sprint LG G2] ceyo14:
If you want to stay on sprint stock. Do the build.prop method on page 46 of this thread but you can flash justins rom, much easier but have to disable OTA. Or flash cm11 but miss out on LG goodies.
[Sprint LG G2] pesater:
Thanks for replying. I'm actually trying Justin's flash 1st. I'd like to try stock rom as well after success. I read page 46 and found no instruction for build.prop method. Could anyone please show it?

I have a question for the build.prop method. how would I switch from CDMA to GSM because after I do the edit in build.prop the mobile networks thing is dark and un selectable. do I need to change from gsm to cdma or just pop the new sim card in and change apn setting with tweakker? any help is appreciated!

Edit: I restored the stock build.prop and selected gsm/umts in network mode and then edited the build.prop to spr spr 1 again and it worked that way. the only thing I didn't do was put in the apn settings. I'm scared, will changing the apn setting mess up going back to using sprint service? or apn has nothing to do with cdma its because I still have sprint service but if everything works will get straight talk again as sprint is a huge mistake.
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
Use TELINFO from Google play store.

Use CDMA(Auto Prl) for CDMA & GSM(Auto Prl) for GSM

I Put in the APN settings with Tweakker, I was able to get the sim card to work I made a phone call and it was the sim card number. but I could not get data to work...:( I tried everything, to switch network modes I used an app called "Network" from Google Play. The APN saves but I guess I haven't found a way to enable it or choose it. I gave up, btw i was testing with my moms sim card as i still have Sprint. So I restored build.prop and to my unfortunate luck even when switching back to LTE/CDMA mode I still wasn't getting Data...Under system updates i had to Update Profile using wifi and then i got LTE/data connection again. I wonder if anyone else has had this experience. any thoughts?:confused:

BuildProp Not Saving

First of all, I'm a newbie in Android world so forgive my ignorance!

I've read through a number of threads in this post and others in this XDA but as I read more I get more confused. I thought I could do it easily but it turns out to be not so easy right now :( So if anyone could help me, I'd appreciate it!

I've downloaded BuildProp app from Play Store to edit it and found ro.carrier and changed the value from 'unknown' to 'spr' and I had it rebooted. However, when I search for the ro.carrier again, the value is still 'unknown' and unchanged. I tried several times but it did not save at all. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Ultimately (because having to press '0' to dial out if unlocked thru buildprop edit method - this phone will be used by my aunt who will hate that!), I'd like to flash the 'Justin's' rom in to the LS980 and downloaded the 'sprint tmobile' zip file from his Google Drive, but I'm not exactly sure what steps I need to follow. I do understand that I need to disalbe 'OTA Update' after it's done, but could someone give me a step-by-step instruction with what programs/files I need to complete the flash?

Thanks in advance!

I had the same difficulty getting it to complete in Chrome. You should just leave it to transfer to your phone - it usually just says that at first but doesn't actually take that long.

Can someone tell me, if I flash Justin's ROM, if I don't like it can I just restore my old ROM in TWRP? Or does it change too much stuff and require other methods?
[Sprint LG G2] justinswidebody:
You can restore your nandroid with no problem. :)
[Sprint LG G2] Valicore:
So I can just got back to my stock rooted from yours with nandroid? Awesome!

PS. Will you be updating your ROM to the T-Mobile KitKat version?
[Sprint LG G2] justinswidebody:
As long as you made a back up of it.

I have the g flex now. Once we get recovery on it and kit Kat, I will see what I can do. It should be the same exact process for both devices. As of now the answer is no. Not sure when or if we will have any kernel devs. If I had a g2 still I would definitely do it.

Do you have a mirror link to your ROM? I did have a lot of trouble actually getting it to download from Google Drive - I had to use IE to finally get it to finish. It did say it flashed correctly but then ends of boot looping. It doesn't require ZV8 or anything like that first?
[Sprint LG G2] justinswidebody:

[Sprint LG G2] alnova1:
It must be something I'm doing wrong. Tried several different roms and bootloop. Is there a certain baseband or software I'm supposed to be on? I've seen and read through so many threads its all running together. This G2 is one that I picked up dirt cheap so I can fool with it without worrying about being without a phone.
[Sprint LG G2] justinswidebody:
Wipe manually. Wipe system, data, cashe, dalvic. Then flash rom
[Sprint LG G2] alnova1:
Done that....can't figure it out.
[Sprint LG G2] alnova1:
Well I was unable to install Justin's Rom or the CM11 T-mobile rom thats supposed to work on the Sprint G2 because of bootloops. I decided to try and install another one called VECTUS GN5 project found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2691356. It actually installed with no bootloops so I was pleased with that. I went into settings and had no settings for GSM so I decided to install an older program that use to be in the playstore called phone info...I think there is another one now called this also but its not the same one. I went into the app and changed the setting to LTE/WCDMA and it worked! I now have HSPA+ on T-mobile and all of the apns are now there also including Straight Talk and Metro PCS. I have know idea why I had bootloops with the others but I'm going to test it out and see how it does.

*Edit* Now I'm only getting edge speeds. I had a great T-mobile signal at my house when I had my N5. Going out to do more testing.
[Sprint LG G2] Valicore:
Don't expect to get the same performance with the Sprint G2 as you do with a phone that has AWS band support like the N5 or the T-Mobile versions of phones. You should get OK performance but you won't get speeds as high as you would with an N5
[Sprint LG G2] abced123:
I did the manual way and everything works ok so far, except it shows GSM instead of 4G or H+ . Justin, does ur ROM show 4G/H+ ? and no Sprint boot logo? Is there a way to replace them manually?
[Sprint LG G2] alnova1:
I realize I won't get LTE speeds with this but was puzzled by the T-Mobile signal quality. On a side note, I'm using a Straight Talk (AT&T) sim and getting great HSPA and HSPA+ speeds at my house now and the signal is great. Going out in a few to test around town.
[Sprint LG G2] justinswidebody:
I have no clue what it shows for data. I never ran the Rom. I just made it for everyone wanting an unlocked Rom. It is a stock T-Mobile Rom so it has their boot animation. Yes you can change it to a sprint boot animation if you want to. I don't have the file though.
[Sprint LG G2] ceyo14:
It shows 2g and 4g not just gsm all the time like sprint.
[Sprint LG G2] Valicore:
Yeah sprint's G2 DOES support both the frequencies used by AT&T for HSPA+ so that shouldn't be a problem. One cool thing to keep in mind though is that T-Mobile recently announced their plans to launch LTE in the PCS band as well which the Sprint G2 does support, so eventually we could see T-Mobile LTE, at least some, on our phones.
[Sprint LG G2] alnova1:
Yea that would be nice. AT&T in my area has better coverage than T-Mobile so I'll probably stay with Straight talk. Thinking of unlock my other G2 that I have flashed to Verizon prepaid. Picked up a sweet deal of the two of them. $300 for both and they both have clean ESN's. Love LG phones.

How do I flash Justin's ROM to my Sprint LG G2

- Wipe cahe/dalvik *

- Flash Rom

- Reboot system

Some one has any idea why I can't seem to get data working with the build.prop method? Phone call works and text, haven't tried mms but don't care too much for that.

Its on Straight Talk Att btw, but I believe that shouldnt matter as other people have used the phone with STATT...anything that I am missing? I did the two 'spr' and 0 to 1.

[Sprint LG G2] abced123:
Justin: Can you fix the NFC with your ROM ? :) Also, when I tried to update from Tmobile update, it goes to recovery menu . So, your ROM is not updateable by Tmobile at all? If so, is there a way to disable the Tmobile update permanently instead?

Now, the phone keeps rebooting into recovery no matter what . Even though I just reflash your ROM a few times, any idea ?
[Sprint LG G2] ceyo14:
You need to disable OTA's. You cant update a phone running a different phones software. Big no no...
[Sprint LG G2] abced123:
Yah found out by a bootloop lolz... but a tot file fixed it . How to disable the OTA permanently ? like freeze update.apk or whatever file that you know ? I dont want someone accidently press on it and give me a hard time again :)

Search for it i dont remember. Search d801 disable ota... you also erase the update in /cache/

boot loop

I used to be able to flash Justin ROM successfully to LS980 ZV7 and it worked great for AT&T and T-Mobile USA. Now I got a ZVA but have a boot loop (with LG logo) whenever I tried that same ROM or cm11. I'm not worried about the boot loop because I'm able to go back to stock Sprint with a backup. I even tried build.prop on stock but no luck. The only ROM that I can flash with no looping so far is the GN5. I did the Advanced Wipe all the time. I have no idea why it has the loop as i did the exact same procedure before. Anything I'm missing here or any other approaches so I can unlock it for US carriers? What's the difference between ZV7, ZV8, ZVA anyways?
