Just check all the apps again. go by names given in the OP. you must have missed something.

if still its giving problems then download ZV8 firmware flash using lg tool, take all the updates and then rename apps, root and unlock.

---------- Post added at 01:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 PM ----------

ZV9_15 ?? dont know any updated by that name. verify before installing !!

I searched ZV9_15 on xda and google = 0 hits.

OpTimus DE v2.2 Rom

Has any body tried the unlock method on Optimus Rom?? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2590234

I figure it would work cuz its stock based. Am i right??
[Sprint LG G2] scottdanpor:
I've been using that rom with Bell Canada since I got the phone.
[Sprint LG G2] buracho:
Thanks for the confirmation!! Can't wait to get on it::good::)
[Sprint LG G2] janocool:
Hi just made the hack but I have a problem when I restart the phone with other sim or just sometimes restarting the phone I got an error of something with the phone app, dont remember but was something like "unfortunately thelephony...... has stopped" or something. The only way to solve this is reseting the phone, erasing all, but it happens again each time I change the sim card or when I enter airplane mode, what I did wrong?
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
Did you delete telephony.db file like mentioned in the OP?

What baseband are you on when you tried this unlock.
[Sprint LG G2] janocool:
Before doing this I updated to the last Ota I follow the directions I don't have the phone right now but how can I revert to start again in this point, will post updated info in a few days when I return to my home, Thanks
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
Revert back to ZV7, do the unlock, don't rename any apps, take all OTA, rename apps enjoy your GSM Unlocked phone.
[Sprint LG G2] Valicore:
I wanted to confirm as some others did - this still doesn't work for domestic (US) carriers, correct? No love for T-Mobile with this method?

Would it be better to stick to the build.prop method if we want that?
[Sprint LG G2] evilboygenius:
Yes, this method won't work for US domestic GSM networks. It's based on Sprint unlock. For now, stick to build.prop method.
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
Do the unlock, then use the build.prop and see what results you get. Please post your experience.

With this unlock roaming and APN gets enabled, if you add the build.prop edit I think it should work like a full unlock except for Wi-Fi thing.
[Sprint LG G2] Pat123:
Is this a permanent unlock? If I flash custom ROMs after unlocking on Stock ROM, will I lose my unlock?
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
Do a Nandroid first, as long as carrier folder and the apn-conf.xml files are not replaced I think all should be fine. Give it a shot, if anything goes wrong you can use the Nandroid to get back again.
[Sprint LG G2] obie992:
How do i put my phone in the download mode? If i press volume up and power, it come in factory reset mode, if i press volume down, it comes in recovery mode. There is no download mode
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
Volup and plugin your usb cable, this should take you to download mode.

[MENTION=4487409]pvinodnayak[/MENTION] As far as I remember Nandroid - does not back up /carrier ..its only /system /data /cache /recovery right ? (I am not sure Nandroid will help here)
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
True, but carrier folder is linked to system files. Nand just to be on the safer side. Always make a nand, does not matter what you are trying.
[Sprint LG G2] ceyo14:
Nandroid doesnt backup or wipe carrier folder.

If you do this unlock and then build.prop it is like you never did this one. Only if you revert the build.prop unlock you will see the roaming menu again...

Still make a nandroid because of the other changes like /data/data/telephony
[Sprint LG G2] obie992:
hi, I just flashed my phone back to stock, i did the unlock, now in order to delete the telephony.db I opened the data folder but it is empty, there is no other data folder under it.

also I've just noticed that the option for mobile hots spot is nowhere under more in settings. can you help?
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
See that pic /data/data/com.android.provider.telephony/database/("telephony.db")

[Sprint LG G2] elmy2424:
APNs stick Automatically means that i havent to configure the APN settings of the carrier i would to use???

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

im thinking to do this unlock to my sister´s g2 and i know that renaming all the bloat apps will safe a lot of headaches ...but i imagine that if my sister see an update notification she just will accept , and let it run and as i saw here this will f**k the phone if the update does not detect those apps..... so im gonna ask if i let the apps with its original name ,, will this cause some issue with the normal functionality of the phone over gsm carriers?????

thanks​
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
Nothing will happen if you let it be. But the phone keeps asking to activate phone
[Sprint LG G2] Alexandercat:
Keep pushed the update notification, go inside the menu and disable the update notification

Inviato dal mio LG-LS980
[Sprint LG G2] elmy2424:
and what about my apns question???
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
Very rarely when the phone detects a SIM in it, carrier sends settings of APN, maybe your APN is set by the network. Just check under system settings, Roaming, Access Point Names.

---------- Post added at 07:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 PM ----------

Rom toolbox lite, use app manager, search Google framework services, select it, disable notification, after this even if there is update you won't know.
[Sprint LG G2] buracho:
Quick question, Just got on Optimus DE, it is awesome esp the battery life:) nway I followed OP and dragged property folder in to carrier

Said ok on phone and granted SU permission, disconnected and rebooted but nothing happened. Am I doing anything wrong?? Should have I copied the folder instead? I tried to un do it but changes dont seem to be saved anymore. Been waiting for this unlock for months. Thank in advance:)
[Sprint LG G2] djmdias:
hi

Hi. First of all, nice job unlocking these models.

I still need some infos on this, will the unlocked ls980 work with european 4G?

If I change provider will I have to change anything other then the sim card? I mean in parameters for the data, sms, mms, etc.

Will it have any issues at all? Like wireless, having to dial specific numbers before the contact number, etc?

Many thanks for your answers and sorry for bothering you guys with my questions.

Best regards.
[Sprint LG G2] mjskraju:
Don't bother about buying this device if you want to use it for 4G in Europe, in fact anywhere else. This model supports very few(only 3 bands of 4G) that are not being used in Europe, google it for more information you would know it.
[Sprint LG G2] scottdanpor:
Sounds like you did it right. Dragging the folder=copy. You should have a new setting called "roaming"
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
There are 2 other things you gotta do, delete telephony.db and replace apn-conf.xml file. I suggest you read the OP again.
[Sprint LG G2] 4shin:
HI there

can flash this rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2589439 ?

then unlock G2 sprint ?
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
If you are on ZVA then you cant. If zv8 or 7 you can. Take a backup, then intall and try the unlock, if it does not work you can restore your backup.
[Sprint LG G2] 4shin:

About the band support

With this unlock, This phone support the 3G Band (850 or 900)?
[Sprint LG G2] scottdanpor:
Here's the specs...

The phone supports GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, UMTS 2100*:good:
[Sprint LG G2] buracho:
Thanks for the response guys! I dragged property in to carrier but i dont see a property folder in the main directory any more and got confused.

Super user accepted the adb and confirmed copying but nothing. Do i put it in global or gsm?

Ive read the op and i done the delete but replace the second one with what? my apn?
[Sprint LG G2] scottdanpor:
Mine is working good in global mode. You have to enter your APN settings under roaming.

I'm on HSPA+ network, if you want the gsm bands you might have to switch it.
[Sprint LG G2] buracho:
Ok. I dont have a roaming menu. Its share and connect then more... dont get raoming menu yet??

What do i replace apn-conf.xml file with??
[Sprint LG G2] scottdanpor:
You should have the option after a reboot, unless you have done the build.prop edit.

Replace the apn-conf.xml file with the one included in the download.
[Sprint LG G2] buracho:
No build prob edits now.I must be missing something. I will try with total commander app this time.

You mean in zip file? Pls which folder pls?

Also for domestic gsm use the build.prop one, regardless if you do this one or not... you can do this one but if you do the build.prop it will override this one, exept if you revert build.prop then you will still have this international unlock....

Follow guide v v v v

1. Download the rom I have already posted. This is going to be your Base rom

2. Download the rom you want to port. This is going to be your Port rom

3. Download a program called "beyond compare" trust me on this one. It is the best.

4. Install beyond compare.

5. now in beyond compare open up file compare.

6. on the left side put whatever rom you want to compare

7. on the right side put the other rom you want to compare to

8. on the Port rom, go ahead and delete Meta-inf, Loki if there is one, and boot.img

9. Now copy these 3 files from above from your base rom and put them into the port rom.

10. Open up the lib folder.

11. On your port rom, delete the hardware and modules folder

12. Now copy these to folders from your base rom and put them in your port rom

13.now find the Etc folder

14. Find gps.conf

15. copy it from your base rom to your port rom.

16.If trying to port a Verizon rom, open up bin folder and copy over the sensors.qcom and sensorservice from base to port rom. (this will prevent the rotation from being off 90 degrees.

17. That should do it for you guys. now put your ported rom on your phone and flash it in recovery.

I know the lg g2 from verizon works on the 3g of my country networks but im not sure if the sprint will work too....i saw the verizon and sprint specs:

[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
Do a backup, compare the folders, the one from your phone and the unlock files. Give the unlock a shot.

Make sure you have custom recovery just in case, you can always restore your backup.

Proceed only if you know how to modify phones & other things related to it. Xda or anyone in this forum is responsible for a brick. ;)

---------- Post added at 10:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 AM ----------

Which country is that? Verizon is GSM unlocked out of the box so it SHOULD & MUST work anywhere in the world, But Sprint works worldwide except US after its unlocked using the method mentioned in the OP.
[Sprint LG G2] CapitanFantasma:
sorry for my language. I mean that I wants to try to see if it works? and if it does not restore it?

think I can work the method of g2 in g flex?
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
Install custom recovery, take a full backup & try, there is more than 50% chances that the phone might brick since its not the model mentioned in the OP. Only if you know what you are doing and know how to restore a backup or flash firmware using LG Flash tool, only then proceed.

[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
You can if you know how to port. I think someone has already posted a few posts back, just see that. You can't flash a international stock ROM of a different model to this one direct, chances of bricking the phone is there. You gotta port the ROM you want install. Search XDA on how to port ROM's.

Okay so I've been looking around for a way to set up specific rules for notifications, for example: between 11pm and 8am phone is silent, but if X texts me, play and continuously repeat notification alert until dismissed.

The idea is I want to be able to silence my phone at night but also allow certain people to wake me.

I've tried many of the apps in the play store that have similar functions but for the most part they either don't work at all or they don't entirely work. I also tried Llama but noisy contacts weren't working for texts nor do they repeat until dismissed. Tasker is a likely option but I can't for the life of me figure it out.

I'm on an LG G2 At&t stock rooted 4.2.2 rom

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hey guys, havent been on the forums in awhile, my buddy has an HTC One Max that he wanted to root/rom, we've had some trouble, was up to the new ROM however it wasn't getting service from sprint, pretty much wanted to go back to stock and just not worry about any of this, i have read through some of the RUU threads and such but im having a good amount of trouble. Could i get some help? i am able to send commands to the phone but cant get into anything else, keeps going to fastboot when phone is restart. believe it is locked in fastboot. Let me know any info you need.
[HTC One Max] pradeepvizz:
I think you have re-locked your phone as of now. If you have re-locked it you need to run the RUU or flash the ROM.zip via hboot. you can find the RUU in couple of threads now..

while attempting to flash the RUU i continue to get the error FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail) Everything else seems to go fine until i get to that point.
[HTC One Max] DVS_Sokar:
As pradeepvizz said you need to make sure your bootloader is Locked/Re-Locked to run the RUU it would also be good measure to have a stock Recovery installed.

I was sure to re-lock the unit, dont think i had flashed over a stock recovery now that i think about it, ill try that and get back to you.
[HTC One Max] pradeepvizz:
Do you mean you tried to flash it via command prompt on the PC?
[HTC One Max] asnpdirtezw:
That is correct, i managed to unlock it again so i could attempt to flash the stock recovery and see if i could flash the RUU that way but it keeps giving me an error.

Weird because because I ruu the other day. But I'm also unlocked and soff
[HTC One Max] pradeepvizz:
well since you are unlocked again, i would suggest to go ahead and install an Custom ROM. I know you had problems with Sprint when you did if the first time, but do try again with the following checks

1. Make sure you get the proper ROM for your phone - i assume your phone is from Sprint and so download the Sprint variant and not the international or anything else.

2. Use TWRP recovery for flashing the ROM. we have had users reporting similar issues when CWM was used.
