Well since its CM11 I figured it was Aosp like straight from google type. I really like what LG did with its UI whatever its called. And like to take advantage of the remote control and multi tasking etc etc. Now if its Tmo but still LG that sounds better. But still I want to see if everything is working and if not I can still use sprint
[Sprint LG G2] jhorton014:
So what exactly does unlocking the Sim do? Is this a way to have the phone on other CDMA carriers?
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
Except US the rest of the world can use the phone for GSM. That's the unlock mentioned here.
[Sprint LG G2] cherishzm:
Please help! Did everything but still no unlock

So I bought a used LS980 and tried to unlock it but I don't seem to be able to make it work. By the way, I'm an iPhone user but doing this for my boss. The phone is stock and I have successfully rooted after following the instruction. The last step of replacing 'property' folder with the one provided was done as well (there was an existing property folder so I deleted it and copied the one provided). This is the last step, right? So I put an AT&T SIM card and rebooted the phone and changed the network mode to 'GSM/UMTS' and I see the SIM card symbol with 'x' on bottom right with signal bar with 'x' as well. I changed it to 'Global' to see if it works and I get an 'MIP: 67' error message, with the same SIM card synbo with x but the signal bar has three blue bars.

Is it not unlocked properly? If so, how do I know if the unlock process was succesful? Any help will be apprecaited!

I have LG G2 sprint here in Indonesia, I did this unlocked methods, before I flashed CDMA carrier into nam slot, GSM work perfect, voice and data.. Then I flashed CDMA carrier into G2, switch to GSM, data become not appear, voice work like it should.. What did I missed? Did someone here have a CDMA carrier flashed in G2 and did this unlocked altogether?
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
Check your APN again. See if it's selected or not.
[Sprint LG G2] anton wen:
The apn already stick as my carrier sir, when I'm didn't flashed CDMA, GSM voice and data work perfectly, then I flashed CDMA suddenly GSM voice work but data not appear
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
Send me screenshot of APN here
[Sprint LG G2] anton wen:
Thanks for your concern sir..
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
Delete the telephony.db as mentioned in the OP again and reboot. Check APN after reboot & report.
[Sprint LG G2] anton wen:
Already deleted in first place when i did unlock and before flashed cdma carrier sir..
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
Delete again. & try

Currently I'm using CDMA on NV, & have a working GSM SIM.
[Sprint LG G2] anton wen:
Hmm.. It seem everytime I deleted telephony and restart, it appear again and my data still not work, only voice and sms work in GSM.. I also use CDMA on nv and set nv only in DFS
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
Yeah the old database is deleted so that the new one is auto created. Strange.

---------- Post added at 11:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 AM ----------

Data should work, or you have to start from scratch. Flash ZV8 & do the unlock again.
[Sprint LG G2] anton wen:
I've start form stock twice before, flash kdz, my nv blank, did this unlocked methods, copy apn, deleted telephony, GSM voice and data work, but when I start flash CDMA on nv, GSM data not appear
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
Kdz has issues, flash ONLY ZV7/8 do the unlock, flash CDMA, everything works fine.
[Sprint LG G2] anton wen:
Do you mean by flash stock rooted ZV8 with Cwm then do the unlock? I'll try then report back.. Thanks a lot sir..
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
I suggest you download complete stock firmware, flash it using LG Flash Tool, root, unlock & finally flash CDMA.

Can anyone assist with my Prop build mod issue? I have data and mms working but whenever i try to make a call the phone app crashes. The error is: "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped" I know this question isnt about the original unlock method of this thread but figured it was worth a shot.

[Sprint LG G2] obie992:

[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
No, only if you use LG Flash Tool the unlock its erased.
[Sprint LG G2] Valicore:
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to test this unlock without having a foreign SIM card? I have a domestic SIM card (which I know won't work), but should it at least recognize that I have a SIM card in the phone when I put a T-Mobile US SIM in it? It just says that there is no card inserted. Like I said, I'd basically just like to know if there is any way to test this?

Thank you!

Hello friend!

Sorry, I was off my my PC!!

Yes, enabled Diag mode - still cannot delete!!

Why???
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
The very first time you connected the phone to Total Commander, did you grant superuser permissions ?
[Sprint LG G2] obie992:
I accidentally deleted the other telephony file in the data folder during the unlocking process, how do I undo this? or can someone share his file? is there something to worry about?

How do I force the phone to stay on GSM? In the Roaming Tab when I search for networks and select Airtel GSM, it goes back to Airtel CDMA after a few seconds. This is causing bad network. Please help.
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
Settings/more/mobile networks/network mode/ set to GSM/UMTS
[Sprint LG G2] nukeman239:
That was already selected. What modem are you using? In the Roaming Tab even after I select Select preferred network automatically and then press on Airtel GSM, it goes back to Airtel CDMA option after a few seconds. Also, I'm unable to send or receive SMS.

Thanks a ton. One last thing, after flashing the PORT ROM, can I flash an International D802 based Radio/Modem?

Also, Pardus HD ROM's page that one needs Philz Recovery in order to flash it. I only have TWRP Sprint compatible recovery on my phone. How do I go about this?

Hi guys!

I read up and down and can't find nothing regarding an issue I'm having. When I get to the part were I should replace the apn-conf.xml file TC won't let me. I've tried changing permissions but can't change that either. I would appreciate if someone can give me some direction on this issue. Thanks.

[Sprint LG G2] Pat123:
No. Wait for ZVC stock, rooted ROM.
[Sprint LG G2] Pat123:
In the meanwhile, if there is a brave soul who tried ZVC, please share if the unlock method is still working?
[Sprint LG G2] sakethiith:
Yep its working fine...
[Sprint LG G2] Pat123:
You tried the OTA method by Garwyn or ZVC Tot? I assume you had to do the unlocking steps again (as mentioned in the first post of this thread)?
[Sprint LG G2] sakethiith:
I unrooted and took OTA. No need to unlock again, it stayed after updating. Just that I got some error with apns-conf.xml then I had to restore old xml and OTA worked fine.
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
Im on ZVC KitKat 4.4.2 with data working. Now there is a problem. Both CDMA or GSM will work, but one at a time. Not like before where CDMA used to work on NV & GSM on SIM.
[Sprint LG G2] abced123:
Just flash this ROM and the device cant get past LG Logo ...blah and i forgot to nandroid backup :(

PS: After some quick search, you need to flash ZV7/8 Radio if you are from ZVA !!!

@ OP : is there a way to make NFC work?
[Sprint LG G2] manojcitc:
How to unroot...

Let me know the steps...
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
Try root uninstaller from Google play.
[Sprint LG G2] manojcitc:
All the applications in play store with root Uninstaller in header only uninstall system app just like app. Remover...

None of them actually unroot the device...
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
Search unroot, instead of root uninstaller.
[Sprint LG G2] sakethiith:
In the SuperSu app -> settings -> Full unroot.
[Sprint LG G2] obie992:
So in order to take the OTA, you have to first unroot the phone? Im zva and im not able to install zvb, you have already received zvc?

---------- Post added at 11:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 AM ----------

And is there a way to root zvb or zvc?

Hi, I am currently running rooted zv8 with twrp and this permanent unlock done, I have also freezed and removed some of the bloatware, which method should I use to upgrade to kitkat ?
[Sprint LG G2] manojcitc:
Just flash stock ZVA through lg flash tool and you will get ZVC notification instantly and let it download and then install it...
[Sprint LG G2] Pat123:
Have you tried this? Flashing Stock ZVA will most certainly remove the permanent unlock.

I am currently on rooted, bloatware-frozen, permanent sim unlocked ZV7 with TWRP recovery. Can anyone please tell me the easiest way to upgrade to ZVC keeping the permanent unlock? I am not bothered about CDMA, I only need GSM to work.
[Sprint LG G2] nukeman239:
Exactly my question. I'm a ZVA ROM with ZV8 baseband. Unlocked. Looking for the easiest root to upgrade to ZVC with unlock. Don't care about CDMA. [MENTION=4487409]pvinodnayak[/MENTION]:)
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
Unroot using superuser/settings/full unroot.

Flash stock recovery using flashyfi,

Revert back all changes that has been made to any in system/app/, force the OTA, update.

Make a NANDROID to pc.

---------- Post added at 02:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 PM ----------

There is no ZVB,

ZV7-ZV8-ZVA-ZVC
[Sprint LG G2] sunny4691:
Can I directly flash the Zvc 4.4.2 tot posted by the member "autoprime", instead of first flashing stock ZVA ?

Rooting is possible for ZVC and I think we can redo the unlock method.
[Sprint LG G2] abced123:
ZVC is 4.2.2 still or KK?
[Sprint LG G2] obie992:
How do you root zvc? Will the same unlocking process work on zvc
[Sprint LG G2] manojcitc:
ZVC is KK
[Sprint LG G2] abced123:
Do u find a way to make NFC work? and also with ZVA (maybe also with ZVC) radio?
[Sprint LG G2] sunny4691:
Yup the same unlocking process works with ZVC but you need the newer ioroot v25, check the ioroot thread.
[Sprint LG G2] obie992:
can you share the old apns file please? Im having the same issue
[Sprint LG G2] ysabxe:
wrong) our unlock not working with KK 4.4.2
[Sprint LG G2] Pat123:
Wow. Just in time. I was about to upgrade to ZVC assuming it still works.
[Sprint LG G2] scottdanpor:
You can just flash Youdug's odexed stock rom then follow the ZVC upgrade thread from garwynn. Don't use autoprime's TOT method or you will lose the unlock. I'm on ZVC now in Canada.
[Sprint LG G2] Pat123:
Yes, was trying modified ZVC OTA. I got stuck at "apns-conf.xml" contents have been altered - error while flashing in TWRP. Do you have the original apns-conf.xml please?
[Sprint LG G2] scottdanpor:
No sorry I don't as I unlocked mine. Strange, you should have the same apns-conf.xml I have from the unlock unless you modified it further.

Maybe try copying it over using total commander again, I recently unlocked mine (after a tot restore) and then installed a rom, had no issues with zvc upgrade.
[Sprint LG G2] obie992:
i unrooted my phone, took the update from cache but it failed again due to apns file modified, i want the old file

and is gsm working with kitkat, I saw your post that you have it unlocked
[Sprint LG G2] Pat123:
default apns file can be found here:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/4lgswmxws19ck2m/apns-conf.xml

Can someone please do me a favour and upload the default /system/etc/system_fonts.xml file? I had made some changes to it and now OTA does not work complaining it has been modified.
[Sprint LG G2] obie992:
system fonts

Here you go
[Sprint LG G2] Pat123:
Alright. All sorted. Upgraded to ZVC via Modified OTA and unlock still works. Kitkat does seem to be much smoother than 4.2.2. The only issue I have now is that my data symbol has changed from E / H+ to GSM. Anyone know how to change that? [MENTION=4487409]pvinodnayak[/MENTION]
[Sprint LG G2] scottdanpor:
4.2.2 displayed GSM as well for me. I'm on a HSPA+ network.
[Sprint LG G2] Pat123:
I was on ZV7 before this and the icon showed up fine - i.e. E or H+. Have you tried any Xposed modules that changes signal icons? I will prolly give it a try later.
[Sprint LG G2] scottdanpor:
ok, I was on ZVA with OpTimuS rom. I didn't see any Xposed modules that change it, but I never looked close. Data always works and the speed is good so I never bothered.
[Sprint LG G2] abced123:
Do you guys loose the gsm network when restarting the phone a lot with ZVC ? Mine on ZVA went back randomly to LTE/CDMA default setting after some reboot though; I had to use the TelInfo app to switch back to GSM network . I also had the GSM network icon instead of H+/4G ... hate it
[Sprint LG G2] scottdanpor:
Not so far, I actually never touched those settings.
[Sprint LG G2] 4shin:
Can it work SPRINT 4.4.2 ?
[Sprint LG G2] scottdanpor:
Yes I am on 4.4.2, though I did the unlock when I was on 4.2.2. When I installed the update it was still unlocked.

You only need to re-unlock it if you restore using a .tot file (not sure if this works using autoprime's tot 4.4.2 update method then unlocking).
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
That cant be changed for now. Its a icon upgrade.
[Sprint LG G2] 4shin:
You did OTA update ?

Can I use IROOT to root 4.4.2 Sprint ?
[Sprint LG G2] scottdanpor:
Yes use ioroot25. If you update using garwynn's method you will not lose root. Either way you can be rooted.
[Sprint LG G2] abced123:
US GSM unlock ?

got something to verify:

1) With ZVA , I am able to unlock for US GSM carriers by using this method and build prop editing ( change SPR to spr , etc. ) . Everything works fine except Wifi Setting UI crashes whenever it is entered . Does it also happen with ZVC aka 4.4.2 ? Again this only happens after build prop editing for US GSM carriers

2) With ZV8 , the TC does not let me to copy/rename/move folder at all and even trying with es filer explorer. It was smooth process with ZVA. I used adb shell commands though, just wanna know why ?
[Sprint LG G2] Bakeo:
Which modified OTA did you use?
[Sprint LG G2] evilboygenius:
I believe, it should be possible with Xposed or any other app which can change status icons. Even ROM Toolbox Pro should do it. Will confirm once I receive my LS980 today/tomorrow.
[Sprint LG G2] Bakeo:
i did the GSM permanent unclock, if i want to recive the OTA ZVC. Do i have to change the apn-conf.xml file with the original?
[Sprint LG G2] manojcitc:
Yes... And also unroot it...
[Sprint LG G2] Bakeo:
I did it but now i can't get the upgrade in the cache... At first i couldn't get the upgrade and the phone was rooted i unrooted it and i had to do this "settings>apps>all>Google Services framework>clear data" and i the upgrade shows up and the download started till 100% the installation reboot the phone and it was ZVA again
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
yes

---------- Post added at 10:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 PM ----------

Found out that there is no need of that property folder for the unlock. no need to set APN also. it auto sets with the new unlock.

just trying to get both CDMA NV DATA and GSM SIM DATA to work together !!
[Sprint LG G2] sunny4691:
Anyone here updated to ZVC via the modified OTA method by "garwynn" , do I need to undo this mod as well as the tethering mod if I want to update it via the modified OTA method ?
[Sprint LG G2] Pat123:
Yes, your /system/ folder contents (and contents of every subfolder) should be exactly the same as the stock ROM. None of the files should be modified, else OTA will fail to flash.
[Sprint LG G2] anton wen:
Could u explain how to do that, does kit kat already unlock automatically, or we must do some trick too.. Thanks in advance..
[Sprint LG G2] Bakeo:
Done

Thnx to all you folks for helping me, i upgraded to KitKat forcing the OTA, the H+ logo changed to GSM and the phone got the company that i use!:good:

[Sprint LG G2] anton wen:
The tot way didn't work with this unlocked method, if you want to keep your unlock, just forced OTA

Copy the property folder in carrier fikder, replace apn-conf.xml in etc folder & finally delete the telephony.db in data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/ reboot, make sure u are on gsm/umts mode.

Deleting all the apps in the op did the trick .Thanks for the help guys.
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
Dont delete, always rename
[Sprint LG G2] AlanVenu:
I usually move them to a backup folder in storage and delete from the system folder. so later if i need them they are there easily accessible.
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
Ok as long as you have a backup you can delete.

[Sprint LG G2] sunny4691:
Ok, but this mod needs to be copied in carrier folder, so do I need to revert this ?, if yes then can anyone provide the stock carrier folder ?
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
This Mod has nothing to do with system folder. Carrier folder is in root.
[Sprint LG G2] sunny4691:
So it is not required to revert this mod for using the modified OTA method ?
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
For the modified OTA you do not need to revert the carrier folder. But apn-conf.xml might have to be the original that came with the phone.
[Sprint LG G2] anton wen:
I flash ZVC TOT, copy folder property to carrier folder in system.. But my GSM signal still not shown, i checked the property folder become blank everytime i reboot..
