Do I change permission to all the sub folders as well and do I copy the APN file also and if so where and do I change permission to APN ?
[Sprint LG G2] mjb337:
Question, after copying carrier folder to root there's a custom folder inside the carrier folder that's not inside the carrier folder I extracted, where did it come from or was it created after I copied and rebooted ?
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
That means to you are on KK, that folder is created after you reboot. It contains a prop file which has all the values which were present in property folder. Dun worry about it.
[Sprint LG G2] Sp_Ark:
I have the exact same problem. Not only with stock unlocked but with any aosp rom and with g3 port as well. People complain they can't hear me all the time and I have wierd signal drops even without moving the phone. Probably its a kk baseband bug of ls980. Any one else facing the same? I kinda solved this last week by raising in call mic volume with dorimanx kernel and now I have only few complains.
[Sprint LG G2] mjb337:
Thanks a lot Sir
[Sprint LG G2] granadier:
Same problem here bud.. I guess we need to change the radio?? Will it works?
[Sprint LG G2] granadier:
Same problem here bud.. Guess we need to change the baseband?? U think will work??
[Sprint LG G2] mjb337:
Question was I suppose to change the permission on the carrier folder once I coppied it over to my root directory and was I suppose to change permission on each folder inside the carrier folder as well including that Lil silver drum and the APN file?
[Sprint LG G2] granadier:
Look this what i did.. I just copy the folders and files that the carrier folder doesnt have. Then change the permission at property folder to rw-r-r. .copy apn file on etc and change permission to rw-r-r. . Go to telephony folder and erase telephony. db and mmssms. db also thw folder shared_prefed exit root explorer and restart.. This work for me on any update of ls980 but u need to remember that when u update your phone to the spark thing u will no getting the 3g icon insted GSM. Btw if your phone dont boot with your apn after it read rhe aim card u will need to add manually to the apn file.. Or do something else
[Sprint LG G2] zubairshah:
Thanks a lot. I did my unlock using this easy method. Few more questions.

1- What if i factory reset my phone?

2- Any possible way to switch my phone to GSM only. Actually in my area, 3G service is not good, But phone keeps on connecting to HSPAP instead of GSM.

[Sprint LG G2] mjb337:
Will cloudys g3 ROM work with this unlock method?
[Sprint LG G2] Sp_Ark:
Cloudys roms don't need any unlock method. They work with gsm/wcdma out of the box. You just need to flash first ls980 kk baseband. The same happens with any aosp/cm rom you can find in the general g2 android development forum, but with these roms you have to go after booting to phone info *#*#4636*#*# in the dial pad and set to gsm only or auto gsm/wcdma then you go to settings mobile networks and there you find some settings as well. You set rui sim and home (something like that) and reboot. Some roms have other options in that field as well, like preferred network, there chose global or 3g and reboot. Then your sim will be recognized and unlocked. If this don't work first time, try again.

[Sprint LG G2] baz00ka:
i recently bought an LS980 from my local market here in Pakistan, Its seems to be unlocked as it is running all the local sims flawlessly,but whenever i restart the fone i recieve a "

handsfree sim Activation

" dialog and then gives an error. Whn i click ok then fone works normal after that.The firmware is ZV8 and is Rooted as well as i can use Root explorer with ease.

Is it because it is still not fullily activated? Also when i try to use this method in the first post, everything works correctly but when i click on ADB, i see my fones name i.e. LG 980, but if i click on this then i cannot see Any File , just blank. i am using Total commander provided in the first post. i want to copy carrier folders but unless i see the fone contents in Total commander i cant do anythin :(

Please help Anyone!
[Sprint LG G2] obie992:
why do you need to copy the TC when you are already unlocked? just go to systems, apps or search for OmaDmclient.apk, rename it and add .bak in the end, the activation screen will go away. like this

I'm currently on ZV8, I have received OTA many times for ZV9 but when phones restarts and the bar comes, it wont go all the way to the end and the phone boots up again without updating to the ZV9. Why is it happening? why my phone wont get updated?

I'm stuck on ZV8, this means I cant even have ZVA which is the latest firmware.

[Sprint LG G2] autoprime:
where and how are u restoring it?

if you boot into twrp and restore it while in recovery using the adb 'dd' commands there's no reason it shouldn't work.

if you're trying to restore it while booted up in the rom.. it's likely it won't always work.. if at all.

Which option to open up on twrp for adb?

I called and got the msl code from sprint. Is there a way to check to see if it works without a sim. I don't have another carriers sim to put in it and i think i'm going to try to go to tmobile if possible with it (i have seen a few ppl that have theirs working on tmobile) if not then i'll do straight talk i just wanted to check to see if it works first before i buy the plan and waste money.
[Sprint LG G2] br0adband:
Take the phone to a T-Mobile shop and say "Hey, can you test this to make sure it'll work..." and they'll ask who the phone is with and you say "Sprint, but it's SIM unlocked to work with T-Mobile, I just want to verify it..." and they should (if they're not total dicks about things) whip out a test microSIM card and it should be recognized if you've done all the background work to make it happen.

For me, I gave up with the entirely too complex methodology of trying to get the SIM card functional and just put stock ZVC on the phone long enough to root it then install TWRP so I could put CloudyG3 on it (with a T-Mobile SIM in the slot). From the first boot it recognized the SIM card and connected to T-Mobile without issues. I went into the phone info (*#*#4636#*#* - if you're on a stock ROM that code won't work, get the Network app from the Play Market to get to it, app author's name is Philipp Mangelow) and then changed it to WCDMA only and I get HSPA+ without a single problem, speed test in the 35-40Mbps range with 8-11Mbps uploads. I could care less about LTE since the signals are weaker here in Las Vegas where I live: in my apartment I get -101 to -105 dBm signal strength while using HSPA+ on the same network (T-Mobile) nets me -80 to -85 dBm so it's a huge difference.

Works for me... you can also just buy a T-Mobile prepaid SIM kit at a T-Mobile store for $10, or at Walgreens for $9.99 if needed.

Walmart has this deal with T-Mobile for $34.99 a month that provides unlimited calls/texts with "unlimited data" meaning the first 2.5GB are up to 4G speeds with the rest dropping back to 2G/EDGE. Since I don't make a lot of voice calls I still use the $30/month 5GB data up to 4G plan with 100 mins/unlimited texts, had that for years now and it works fine for my purposes. Still the best deal in prepaid wireless anywhere that I've ever found.

[Sprint LG G2] huzefaonline:
Hi, i am currently on ZVE version with G2 LS980. for sim unlocking i transferred the carrier folder and changed the permission to rw-r-r. but everytime i restart the phone, the files in the property folder in carrier dissapear. why is that happening? is that the reason why the gsm signals bars are so low? also the permissions of the respective folder change. However i did not change the apns.xml file and neither did i delete telephony.db or mmsc file. used tweeker app to set gsm data. things seemed to work fine however now i am facing com.android.phone crashing while making and recieving calls. deleted cache of the phone app, google services framework app and also factory reseted the phone. but issue not solved. please help.
[Sprint LG G2] RohanM:
Same issue I faced. Tha thing that process crash started only after i removed some sprint related apps, till then it wsa ok.

Now I flashed ZV8 again & will take all OTA.

This unloack mehod works gr8 with ZV8 only.
[Sprint LG G2] huzefaonline:
OK. i havent deleted any sprint apps. have only frozen them. let me enable them again to see if that helps.
[Sprint LG G2] RohanM:
Defrost them and reboot.. also clear cache of phone app and sim toolkit. Hope this helps.
[Sprint LG G2] huzefaonline:
Have done it. lets see what happens. Also. the apps i had frozen were the ones mentioned as bloatware in a few threads here. i hope defrosting them helps.
[Sprint LG G2] granadier:
Is not helping. Still the same while making or receiving a call the process crashes
[Sprint LG G2] huzefaonline:
Yeah, not helping here either. getting the same crashes. just a questions, does the com.android.phone crash while using custom roms like cloudy's rom or cm11?
[Sprint LG G2] RohanM:
I just flashed.. ZV8 and took ZVA OTA. zvc ota failed.. dont know why.. so still on zva.. no crashes. . Disabled all bloat.

Have u tried uninstalling google play services updates?
[Sprint LG G2] huzefaonline:
ok. Nops. the option to uninstall the google playservices is not highlighted. how to do that?
[Sprint LG G2] RohanM:
I also dont know that.. better to factory reset and dont mess with any sys or sprint app...
[Sprint LG G2] huzefaonline:
OK. i did factory reset earlier but then i deleted and sprint and some sys apps. will factory reset get the deleted apps back?
[Sprint LG G2] RohanM:
If u have deleted them.. then no.. flash tot file.. better download ZVE tot and then try to unlock.
[Sprint LG G2] huzefaonline:
ok. i hope the deleted sprint apps are the real cause behind it

I understand that. But, from what I have read, this can work on domestic, also. Am I wrong? What would be the issue between DOM and INT? I got this Flex for free, so I am just experimenting.
