[Sprint LG G2] topurdue:
Okay, thanks for the info. I found out about updates the hard way. It was looped but didn't take long to get get it back up. Is there a way to side load updates? Thanks again.
[Sprint LG G2] asj2583:
Well not unless you mod the update since the firmware is a sprint/tmobile hybrid rom and btw how did you recover after taking the update? Had a guy take the update i did his phone and couldnt figure out how to fix it. If you can point me to the thread that'll be great.
[Sprint LG G2] ceyo14:
I did this exact thing. But at 140 and the guy gave me his account info and was able to switch his phone for an old one i had.... so i can still use it with sprint if i want. Best phone for me and more so at 140.. was about to buy a tmobile one for like 350...
[Sprint LG G2] asj2583:
I'm still waiting on someone that might know how to get an updated version to work with the unlock mod......

Edit 1: I think i figured out how to make the latest version of cm11 work on our phone with the gsm unlocked. Pretty much followed the same procedure that i used for porting stock roms but instead downloaded both the sprint and t-mobile versions of cm11 of the same release date and replaced the meta-inf folder, boot.img, hardware and module folders, and the gps.conf from the sprint to t-mobile and that's it. Not sure if all these steps are required and haven't ran into any issues so far but i will do further testing.

Edit 2: Rom is still freezing on 03/01/2011 release.
[Sprint LG G2] juggamonkey:
Anyone have any new ported roms their using. ..I'm on aeonflex Now but I would like to try something different
[Sprint LG G2] asj2583:
I made a gsm unlock version of Rayglobe Flex 4.0 which worked great at first but once i installed and signed in to all my apps the rom got extremely laggy. Anyone know of a rom that won't do this?
[Sprint LG G2] SteveChiller:
Tmobile is definitely better for me in Dallas. I get coverage in buildings that I did not get when on Sprint. Heres an LTE speed test results from the Dallas area (Allen). I'm using a Tmobile G2 btw. Fastest I got on hspa was about 19mbps or so.
[Sprint LG G2] yoitsjustin:
how did you get 101 down? Is that their new LTE network in like two places? And is that all 4G only (HSPA+) or LTE too?
[Sprint LG G2] SteveChiller:
Yeah it's that 20 x 20 network in Dallas. Those were all on LTE except the top 2 those were on my home WIFI network. LTE speeds are all over the place but 112 down is the fastest I've seen it at.
[Sprint LG G2] yoitsjustin:
Awesome, thanks. On 4G what do you average down?
[Sprint LG G2] younggunner:
Hey guys I will be working on freeze issue as well as posting an updated nightly here in the next few days. Any requests at the moment? Glad you all have been liking this so far. I am also working on a miui port for us as well.
[Sprint LG G2] yoitsjustin:
I'm getting E with a non-working test SIM. Is there a specific APN I should choose if I'm using T-Mobile? It keeps going to MetroPCS LTE for some reason... Earlier I tested this in a different area and was receiving H+.
[Sprint LG G2] asj2583:
I think you have a working sim with service but you can use fast.t-mobile.com or epc.tmobile.com apn along with the mms apn amd everything ahould work.
[Sprint LG G2] AdamBlue:
So - I got the ROM working. I put my MetroPCS sim in, but nothing. I'm assuming I need to activate it? MetroPCS requires you to call a number to activate, but phone says no mobile service. Before I go to the store, have I done everything correctly so far?
[Sprint LG G2] mrgj:
Hello topurdue. I was unlocked on tmobile Justin ROM with sl980. I accidently took OTA update. I followed the guide you pointed, but no go. LG flash too thinks of phone as D801 not LS980. Can you please tell me what did you do to bypass this issue. I attached pictures for clarification.

Thank you.
[Sprint LG G2] AdamBlue:
With no luck on this ROM, I went with Justin's ROM which has been posted here and anytime I first start up the phone, I get the message "Phone Not Allowed MM#6". No signal, though it shows full bars and no red x.

Thoughts? I was hoping it would 'just work'. But maybe it's a MetroPCS thing?
[Sprint LG G2] asj2583:
Has the phone been reported lost or stolen cause from what i read here at xda is that is the phone has been reported it won't work here in the usa...
[Sprint LG G2] mrgj:
Sounds like it to me!!
[Sprint LG G2] AdamBlue:
I'll have to call and find out. I didn't get this notification with the stock or CM11, only the T-Mobile ROM.

EDIT:

Looks legit.
[Sprint LG G2] juggamonkey:
Tryto put another activated sim in it and see if it works
[Sprint LG G2] AdamBlue:
Good call. This is actually what I should do to determine where I'm at with everything. Thanks!
[Sprint LG G2] AdamBlue:
I ended up putting my metro sim card in the G2, dialed *228, and was able to connect to MetroPCS customer service. I told them my IMEI and they activated it. They didn't ask what kind of phone it was. At the store they asked and said they couldn't do it.
[Sprint LG G2] topurdue:
My phone froze up and crashed. This time it wasn't do to being updated. I really don't know what happened other than I was driving down the road using my gps. I also had the same problem you are mentioning when I went to restore it a second time. I don't know why I had absolutely no problem restoring it the first time. So, I don't know what the solution is.
[Sprint LG G2] asj2583:
Yeah i've several people that have taken their unlocked lg g2 to metro and always have issues getting them activated.
[Sprint LG G2] yoitsjustin:
Is your area refarmed yet? T-Mobile is refarming areas to use a different antenna that would allow your phone to connect. I have the same issue where I live, I get no signal on T-Mobile from my G2. I decided to just sell it considering I've only had it for two months and it has zero scratches. With the money I just got the T-Mobile Nexus 5 and I actually really like it lol :P.

Never mind, I can't figure out how to delete this but I guess now it's activated so good job! :P
[Sprint LG G2] Gotroot:
So has anyone tried this on att and if so does data work ?
[Sprint LG G2] juggamonkey:
Yea everything is good on at&t here data and all not lte though just hspa+which I avrg around 5-7mbs so plenty fast for me
[Sprint LG G2] Gotroot:
For some reason when I try to flash this it errors out in TWRP is there something I need to do?
[Sprint LG G2] juggamonkey:
Are u using twr p 2.6.3.3? What error does it say?
[Sprint LG G2] Gotroot:
I figured it out ... My next question is can I flash any ROM as long I flash a sprint kernel. And is the a Loki kernel for sprint

---------- Post added at 08:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 PM ----------

Can you post the modified boot files you used so we can try different var.. of roms ?
[Sprint LG G2] stillblaze01:
I agree

I dont like sprint Tmobile much faster in my opinion...I am in allen also small world .....lets hack it!!!!
[Sprint LG G2] asj2583:
Please don't quote the OP, Thank you.....
[Sprint LG G2] asj2583:
Update on the freezing issue?
[Sprint LG G2] Dshook1979:
So does this ROM work? Can it really be this easy, flash this on my sprint phone, put in T-Mobile/metro PCs sim, and bam good to go?
[Sprint LG G2] AdamBlue:
Look back a few posts for more details, but with MetroPCS, you do have to try to get them to activate the IMEI on your account. Now, I got this ROM to work, but not with an activated sim. I had installed the "Justin's ROM" posted earlier, but I have no other details - others have said to search for the thread about the ROM, but for a week now I haven't found it.
[Sprint LG G2] asj2583:
T-Mobile should work ok but on Metro you have to get the imei activated like Sprint/Verizon do with their phones. I've converted several Sprint LG G2 to work on GSM and not once have i had a customer call me back and tell me that it was straight forward getting it to work on Metro and always call me back thinking i did something wrong but when they tell me they have Metro they go with T-Mobile/Straight Talk/Simple Mobile/etc. and no issues.
[Sprint LG G2] Ktracho316:
I have a question. My sprint service is still active, so if I flash this ROM to test it out can I nandroid back to my regular stock ROM? In other words how hard is it to go back to Sprint Stock?
[Sprint LG G2] juggamonkey:
Guys I flashed the ls980 version of PA 4.1 beta 2 switched it to gsm and changed build prop from Sprint to open and its running great on at&t sim
[Sprint LG G2] AdamBlue:
Good to know. You think it's that easy with any LS980 ROM?

If there isn't already, we should make a thread for "GSM use on LS980" to collect all of this information. I can put it together if that sounds like something acceptable.
[Sprint LG G2] asj2583:
Any freezes like on cm11?
[Sprint LG G2] juggamonkey:
No freeze for me yet
[Sprint LG G2] asj2583:
What setting did you edit in the build prop cause i flashed pacman located in this thread, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2669074 and couldn't find the ro.build.target_operator to change Sprint to open to read my Straight Talk sim.
[Sprint LG G2] SkdnSn:
Maybe to keep updates consistent & stable, maybe you could update this once a month with a snapshot version of CM? Just a suggestion so this is up to date & stable :)
[Sprint LG G2] Robisgnarly:
wrong place
[Sprint LG G2] SkdnSn:
Noo I meant to post that here...the last update of this was a nightly in February so its missing a lot. I just think the snapshots would be good to be up to date with the newest stable features & still have GSM
[Sprint LG G2] pcmedics911:
Can we update to stock root rim for two?

Hi all

I flashed this cm11 to sprint ls980 and it works with t-mobile

Hspa+ for data

I tried to update the new cm11 via update phone and it won't update

I can't update to sprint stock either as the phone shows up as

ds801 tmobile.

Anyone else able to go to a tmo rom or back to sprint stock?
[Sprint LG G2] jumpman6235:
How do I get this rom to work with Straight talk?
[Sprint LG G2] pcmedics911:
Read the thread here you are on.

You can use the build prop edit option on this thread or cm11 rom for att?
[Sprint LG G2] st3wart:
I'm on straight talk ATT and I worked as soon as I flashed it. No need to do anything extra
[Sprint LG G2] chessboxer:
Huge thank you on this. Just flashed yesterday and the phone started up and immediately worked on AT&T.
[Sprint LG G2] asj2583:
What's the status on the freezer issue, asking since we haven't heard from you...
[Sprint LG G2] SupremerosesXO:
Hello, I am looking to buy sprint LG G2 off ebay for cheap to use on Tmobile.. but I'm not sure if I was to get the phone off ebay and it would come back blacklisted.. I can't really buy the phone outright since I am a college student and its hard for me to keep up with price. Is it safe to buy it off ebay even with bad esn?
[Sprint LG G2] JAWheat411:
You need to ask for the ESN. Or get a picture of it. If it is a good ESN they won't have a problem giving it to you to run a check on. A bad ESN phone is only good for parts. But doesn't T-Mobile use Sim cards? If so it shouldn't matter.
[Sprint LG G2] dincdoes.me:
Hey I'm using a my LS980 due to not having money to pay for it on my AT&T plan. All I did was asked for a micro sim for a line I have and now it is working great my data speeds surprised me topping off at 9mbps down and 1.8 up no ESN required for att especially if you gave a previous smart phone active or suspended on the account.
[Sprint LG G2] asj2583:
A bad esn can be for non payment or because it was reported lost or stolen. From what i read here on xda on users that have attempted to use a bad esn with gsm is if the esn is bad due to non payment you should be fine but if the phone has been reported lost or stolen the esn along with imei will be blacklisted making it unusable in the usa unless your not in the usa then youll be fine as youll be able to use it just fine overseas. Make sure you do your research on the phone before you buy it.
[Sprint LG G2] juanacevedo:
Any chance of there being a kitkat lg stock rom with gsm working just like the JB stock lg rom that Justin compiled?
[Sprint LG G2] AdamBlue:
I just read that the 4.4 update is rolling out on Sprint today. I believe I read from another user that we would need that kernel in order to do the 4.4 update on Justin's ROM.
[Sprint LG G2] juanacevedo:
Well it looks like LG released the open source kernel for kitkat for our device and the ota is coming g pretty soon. Hopefully we get an updated Justins rom soon :)

https://www.lg.com/global/support/opensource/opensourceList?types=ALL&search=LS980
[Sprint LG G2] dincdoes.me:
are any of you using a ATT sim on Justins rom? ive tried to make it work but not having good luck at getting it working i cant call no data no sms mms all the fun stuff. oddly i can use the cm11 rom just fine. ive tried the porting guide from this cm11 rom to the updated cm11 from the tmobile section but i get lots of errors when it boots.

Anyone maybe has something they personally have done or that can give me some pointers on to successfully porting anything that is up to date would be my hero!

Got it working just by reflashing... sometimes I really hate phones ..
[Sprint LG G2] jay2nice000:
Is it me or is just because I don't have a sim yet for T-Mobile because I can't pick up att or T-Mobile signals. Also is there a way to go back to sprint
[Sprint LG G2] abced123:
Just flash the stock ROM in recovery or use the TOT method ..not that hard
[Sprint LG G2] jay2nice000:
yea just tricky, couldnt get it back to stock because flashtools saw it as d802, but doing a wipe for everything but internal storage did the trick. but for some reason no matter what i did i couldnt get any signal from any carrier....
[Sprint LG G2] younggunner:
:cowboy:

i apologize for keeping you guys waiting on an updated release. Some personal family matters have interjected into my life and I had to take care of a few things.

But I will be posting an updated build tonight!

Let the celebrations begin again :victory:
[Sprint LG G2] halfbite:
Awesome, thanks so much! Will be watching for it :)
[Sprint LG G2] younggunner:
Uploading now!
[Sprint LG G2] younggunner:
New update release

4.4.2 CM11 4/2/2014 IS CURRENT UPDATED AND LINK IS NOW LIVE!

Support your local developers with beers and thanks you's. It only takes a minute!

ALSO PLEASE REPORT ISSUES
[Sprint LG G2] younggunner:
GPS

GPS Lock on seems to be fairly solid with this build, ive done a 12 hour test so far and have had no issues.

Please test this out and let me know what you guys find out.
[Sprint LG G2] juanacevedo:
Help!

Does this work with any roms or is it international roms only? Or wait, do we do T-mobile roms? Also where do we put the base rom, on the left side or the right side? Sorry I'm confused and I want to make sure I understand everything before I do something stupid.
[Sprint LG G2] asj2583:
It works with any LG G2 rom granted that with a Verizon rom there's an extra step at the end to fix rotation. The base rom can be placed on the right or left doesn't matter as long you remember from what rom your coping what to.

---------- Post added at 02:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 AM ----------

If it's not picking up t-mobile the phone might of been blacklisted. I've noticed with several G2 I've done that when blacklisted then tend to not work with t-mobile but work with at&t just fine and yes you can restore back to Sprint. There's a guide already up.

---------- Post added at 02:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 AM ----------

Was the freezing finally fixed or this just an updated build?
[Sprint LG G2] younggunner:
:)

no freezing through my testing. why don't you try it for yourself and find out!
[Moto X General] Anthony445:
And ditching the pocket protector thing. I had it wrapped in protector before I could use it. just took it off now, got a raw moto x feels nice.I take care of phones regardless of my work field and my recreational habits. If you're on the fence about it just go naked. This phones ergonomics are way too good plus its got rubber back yeaa:cool::thumbup:
[Moto X General] alpha-niner64:
I can't do it. I have a DE and I would hate to ruin that logo. That said: I don't see what's stopping me from just putting tape over it and rolling through asphalt.
[Moto X General] Anthony445:
True. what's a DE?
[Moto X General] Jayrod1980:
The bezel on this phone is ultra prone to scratches. Look at it u dear light with good vision and I'm sure you will find fine marks all over the bezel. The back as well is very easily marred. I'm on moto x no 4 and while I like the overall quality, it may be hard to truly break, but it's not hard to mar/scratch.
[Moto X General] Konno_Yuuki:
Developer Edition. As for me, I have a bumper case and a MIME screen protector for now. I didn't want a lot of bulk and to show off my Moto X's bamboo back.
[Moto X General] Anthony445:
Ye I getcha I love this phone e so much I'll just get another one next year if it runs down. scratches are normal whatever, even a occasional nic or scrape. only thing I have been noticing is that the sides of it get fine hairline cracks in it. I know I'm not alone there is a thread going on about it. Dingy care for that but just don't want the back to fall off:thumbdown:
[Moto X General] drago10029:
I agree with caseless for asthetics BUT....... gotta protect the phone. I usually own a case and just use it when I feel like I need to be careful.
[Moto X General] eksasol:
I will get a real wood back and tempered glass screen protector, that'll be as close to going bare as I'm willing too. I'm very picky about scratches.

sent via my Le Motonovo X
[Moto X General] JustROLLIN:
I have never really seen the point of a case. Sure I want to protect my phone and sure I want it to look nice, but I am going to replace it in 12-18 months anyway. Its not a long term investment or anything...and as for resale, if I lose $30 at the time of resale because of the condition, I can know that I did not spend a penny on a case and enjoyed my phone while I had it.

People are casing phones up like they are an expensive watch or something...its a replaceable item. IMO.
[Moto X General] tnt118:
I have to second this. As much as I love my Moto X, it has picked up several nicks around the edge from slight bumps that never should have left a dent. I'm truly surprised the bezel is so soft and scratch-prone compared to other phones I've owned.
[Moto X General] jimmyhauser:
The Moto X is truly awesome without a case. Probably the only phone out there that was actually designed to be nice to hold.

And of course, a week after I stopped using a case, I dropped the phone and now have a big gouge in the bezel. The front bezel is soft as butter FYI.
[Moto X General] john.r.m:
Hey $30 bucks is $30 bucks

I've found that having used cases and screen savers on my phones i do get a better price for my devices. So the $30 bucks i spend on a case and screen saver pays for itself each time.

my phone spends a lot of time in a backpack pocket along with keys, change that have reeked havoc on previous phone screens. I also like the anonymity of having a case and screen saver on it. My phone never gets a 2nd look...
[Moto X General] Cronis:
been going without a case since I got the phone 3.5 months ago. seems to hold up pretty well except for the front bezel. I am really careful about keeping the phone in a pocket thats clean (sand-less) and I have never dropped it. Still the plastic part of the front bezel is really soft and has several scratches in it even after being so careful.
[Moto X General] Anthony445:
I ha e a nic in the bezel as well dropped it onto tile from the vanity. As well as a little scrape from the asphalt when I was skating with it in my hand.
[Moto X General] vikramkhalsa:
I get what you mean and I would like to agree except my nexus 4 took a nasty drop 2 days after i got it and the screen cracked and broke the digitizer, cost me $140 to repair. With a TPU case the chances of that happening are significantly lessened, after that I always use a case( even though I LOVE the moto x without the case) Maybe if you're very careful you'll be fine.

But whether the added bulk is worth the protection or the naked feeling is worth the risk is up to you.
[Moto X General] eksasol:
Until phones have steel frame and sapphire glass, I will continue to use some form of protection. If not case then screen protector. I am not risking cracking my screen.

sent via my Le Motonovo X
[Moto X General] detonation:
Depends on how much the resale value increases based on condition. If it's just that difference of $30, then I'd rather go without a case and enjoy the feel of the device since you'd come out with the same net gain.

I used to be OCD and try to keep my devices in mint condition, but I realized the cost and stress of that wasn't really worth the extra resale value. Plus, a mint phone is actually sometimes harder to sell, since many people are ok with spending a little less and getting one in good used condition. The phones I've sold with misc scratches and dents that were listed under the average going rate have always sold faster than mint ones I was asking top dollar for.
[Moto X General] dakidhurricane:
This thread made me do a thorough check of my phone and not a single scratch on it anywhere. I have gone naked since the day I got it in September.
[Moto X General] aptalca:
Bare back.

All wood, no rubber.

Get your mind out of the gutter. I am saying my preference is a walnut back and no rubber case for the Moto X :p
[Moto X General] Anthony445:
Wood back wtf?
[Moto X Q&A] boss.:
Hi guys I've just bought a US Cellular Moto X from eBay and I plan to use it here in Australia. I'm not very familiar with CDMA phones as all the networks here in Australia are GSM so I don't know the limitations of CDMA for overseas use. I've heard that an unlocked CDMA phone can be use with a sim card overseas but also heard that the Sprint Moto X can only be unlocked OTA or by flashing another ROM.

So my question is: 'Is there a way to unlock the US Cellular Moto X from overseas for overseas use with a sim card? And also is the boatloader already unlocked or do I have to unlock it myself like the verizon version?

Thanks in advanced
[Moto X Q&A] chrstndsgnr:
I'd return it if you can. AFAIK, the sim card slot on US cellular phones is only for their 4g LTE data and is not compatible with gsm networks. I could be wrong on that though.

The unlocked(t-mobile), gsm developer edition, or at&t would be best for gsm networks. Just know that you would probably need to buy a sim unlock code for the at&t model.

If you're looking at unlocking the bootloader, then go with the unlocked or developer model. If you're worried about warranty, get the developer edition since you can unlock the bootloader and you don't void your warranty if you fubar the phone.

Just my two cents.
[Moto X Q&A] boss.:
Oh okay, because I bought it primarily to use as a kind of iPod replacement. Just to use it primarily for music and stuff because I already have the note 3 as my main phone. I was really wanting to get a T-mobile one but ended getting a really good deal for this one (saved around $150)

It would have been good to be able to use the Moto X as a backup phone or secondary device for when I go overseas or camping or something like that. But I'm not too worried about it, it would have just been nice to know I had the option. And as far as warranty - the phone has a bad ESN so I assume that the warranty is no longer in place? I'm not very familiar with the whole ESN thing either.

So is the boatloader locked on the US Cellular? And also would I be able to receive OTA updates with the bad ESN and all? Sorry for all the questions - I just have no clue on how network providers do their thing in America.
[Moto X Q&A] Steve-x:
Why did you buy a most likely stolen/blacklisted phone???????

and yes, it will still receive updates.
