Hi Brandon, I used to have the stock rom on my phone, but long story, all i have now

Hi Brandon, I used to have the stock rom on my phone, but long story, all i have now is cloudy's roms-- CloudyG2 and Stock 2.7. I have not been able to text anyone since becuase it says i have no USIM card. Could you please help me out? Many thanks!
[Sprint LG G2] Rose Autumn:
Tweakker

The link to Tweakker doesn't work anymore and I can't find it. Does it matter that my phone is a ZVE?

I found a version of Tweakker but it only says it can't connect to my wifi and I know there's a connection.
[Sprint LG G2] Rose Autumn:
Tweakker 2

Here's a pic.
[Sprint LG G2] iBowToAndroid:

Great Info!

Thanks to this guide and the links I was able to get my Sprint LG G2 (LS980) to work with AT&T and T-Mobile. Using CloudyG3 and this tutorial everything worked great!

Thanks!:good:
[Sprint LG G2] Gamersab:
I recently bought Lg g2 ls980 but there's no option to check software updates :-/
[Sprint LG G2] iBowToAndroid:
Then it was probably modified somehow. Reflash it back to stock
[Sprint LG G2] Gamersab:
I'm not sure about it because I checked two phones before buying both didn't had option.
[Sprint LG G2] secret.animal:
If your not on sprint network it is not stock
[Sprint LG G2] 2w1DM4yF:
no voice/network

Do we need to unlock (step 2 and 3: ls980simfinalunlock.rar) even if we install a custom ROM on LS980?

I did root using ioroot, installed LS980_AutoRec.apk, wiped, flashed KK_Baseband_LS980.zip and CloudyG2_2.2.zip. I did not see any network with TMobile sim after boot.

Next I did set ro.carrier to spr toolbox lite ( do I need to set any other?) and used radio switcher. I still do not see any network. What am I missing?

BTW is it normal that my IMEI is unknown? Are we using EFS, could it be that it is corrupted?

Thanks!

Will Sprint 4G LTE service work on this phone if I had it rooted?
[Sprint LG G2] sd_N:
Hello

Do you have to go through the whole unlocking process for those apps to work? It says its incompatible with my phone but I haven't tried unlocking yet so just want to be sure. Also is this just for GSM usage or would I be able to switch back and forth? I want to test it out before I decide to actually cancel with sprint and go with tmobile. My friend is letting me hold on to an extra tmobile sim so planning to try it with that.[/QUOTE]

I'm wondering the same thing. I paid $35 to imeifix.com to get a factory sim unlock, so i dont have to follow all these steps...however I,m only getting Edge on TMo. The RadioSwitcher apps all throw a popup that its not compatible. Anyone have any fixes or solutions? I believe if i can change the radio setting I'll get the HSPA data. The APN app the OP suggested works for adding APN. Just need a radioswitcher app.

I need help, i have LG G2 LS980 with stock 5.0.2 LS980ZVH non-rooted. I am using it in Pakistan and need to use data in that. I cannot find access point in data connection in order to use mobile with my carrier setting. access point is present in roaming option only and when i set it with my local carrier it is showing only GSM with round shape on the top of screen instead showing H+ or 3G.

can anybody help me to add access point setting in mobile network? or any other suggestion to use data in that?
[Sprint LG G2] Mr Hassan:

[Sprint LG G2] tekweezle:
To change/edit your apn, go to the stock dialer program and type ##3282#
[Sprint LG G2] brandonbarlow:
The permanent unlock is only for stock based Roms. It states it in its op. I think the build. Prop mods will work fine for you.
[Sprint LG G2] razgriz8426:
I gotcha, thanks for your help. I tried going back to stock and doing this all over again, and I'm still having issues, so I'm going to search around for awhile.
[Sprint LG G2] brandonbarlow:
Let me know what you find. Like I said, I have just aggregated the information. I dont develop.
[Sprint LG G2] brandonbarlow:

Super Thanks

For me everything was working except for wifi teether.. Today I did step 8, build prop edit and the tethering option is enabled now

Great
[Sprint LG G2] razgriz8426:
Great news! I ended up going to complete stock, then flashing the CM11 for T-Mo on Sprint (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2639165), then flashing the latest Omni Nightly from there, then changed the build.prop (had to add to of the fields), then used radio switcher, and voila! It was stuck in 2G for awhile, but it finally caught onto HSPA+. So glad I finally got it, I enjoy Omni much more than CM, and this version seems to be quite stable. Thanks to everyone for their knowledge on the forums.
[Sprint LG G2] lipak:
No separate app is required, you can do *#*#4636#*#*

Also, ensure build prop is edited as per step 8

I had similar issue and build top edit and then reboot fixed it
[Sprint LG G2] staplestaples:
Thanks a lot! Finally got it working on H2o (AT&T mvno).

Issues:

1. I need to add +1 to dial all numbers in the US, otherwise. "Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped"

2. No data access, even after I set up the APN.
[Sprint LG G2] MugenReborn54:
Having a hard time connecting to the proper service. Everytime i go to make a phone call, it say android has unfortunately stop working. Any suggestions? Also i dont know if im using radio switcher properly. is there a walkthrough for th app? lol

[Sprint LG G2] chronostorm:
Does the Sprint LG G2 have the right radios for T-mobile 3g?
[Sprint LG G2] MugenReborn54:
i dont know what those radios would be. I cant use radio switcher because im not sure what the tmob radios are.
[Sprint LG G2] brandonbarlow:
Yes tmobile works well.
[Sprint LG G2] brandonbarlow:
Did you change the build prop settings? What did you change the setting in the radio to? Use the one I posted at the top.
[Sprint LG G2] MugenReborn54:
yea i changed the build prop settings. Am i supposed to be changing the name or the property value of the build prop settings?
[Sprint LG G2] sunwave:
Thank you so much, OP.

My phone is working on tmobile network now. I got extremely slow speed though.

I see 4g speed in my area from tmobile data map, is there anyway to improve overall speed? I got .15mb down and .08 up. :crying:

[Sprint LG G2] Cronic2009:
Thank You, left mine to OPEN and had the H icon (HSPA+), the lowercase spr gives GSM symbol, changed ro.operator to TMO, I use Simple Mobile, so set ro.carrier to Simple Mobile, a T-Mobile MNVO, this gives me the 4G icon and increased mobile net speeds!! I am still on HSPA+, its just the 4G icon, but now getting much faster speed tests, Thanks Again!

Also in the build.prop, set ro.telephony.default_network = 3, for default GSM auto (PRL) or 9 for GSM/LTE/WCDMA

this will make the phone boot up GSM enabled, I had the problem with it wanting to revert back to sprint/cdma, this fixed that! Best of Luck All!
[Sprint LG G2] brandonbarlow:
Good luck. Mine worked set to open or Unknown each for about a day before the force closes started. Hope it works. I'll take the gsm, but the h or even a 4g icon would be perfect.
[Sprint LG G2] Cronic2009:
Hahaha Thanks, we need it with this B***H!! Try wiping cache in TWRP recovery when the crashes start happening, reboot, might have to do this a couple times, I had to wipe my cache 3 times before the crashes stopped, should clear them up!
[Sprint LG G2] pshadoww:
I am using AT&T and having the same issue (have to add 1 to dial numbers). Is there a fix for this?
[Sprint LG G2] NANOSCALE:
I unlocked the phone for T-mobile following the instruction, and I get 4G 10MBps dl, mms, call, text all work fine, but the phone only shows 1 bar on the signal icon all the time. I dl'ed the app "Signal Measure" on Google Store,and it only showed 39%-53%. None of the boost signal apps on the Google Store work with the phone. Does anyone know how to improve the signal/reception?
[Sprint LG G2] jdub2014:
Property Folder Doesn't Save Contents

Anyone else having a problem when doing the carrier/property/ file transfer, upon reboot all the files have disappeared.

I tried changing permissions to 777 and leaving them and rebooting, changing back to 644 afterwards, tried mounting r/w then back to r/o and it happens everytime. I saw another thread that mentions that it isn't working with the ZVC, which I guess is what my phone was updated to most recently, am I screwed trying to get this to work with straight talk US or is there something I'm missing?
[Sprint LG G2] sunwave:
after i change ro.carrier from spr to TMO, I got no bar at all and speed doesn't increase. I did check the signal strength in Setting, it shows -91dBm, 14asu, i think it's pretty good signal, but the signal indicator of status bar shows nothing , hope someone figure out how to fix this.

I think change ro.carrier back to spr will bring back bars.
[Sprint LG G2] brandonbarlow:
I took the update and my phone works. If the way listed doesn't work, try the way in the linked original thread. I haven't tried, but someone told me that you don't even need the permanent unlock in the US, and just to do the build prop stuff. I already did the unlock, so I put it in my steps. Might want to just try anyways without the carrier folder.
[Sprint LG G2] MugenReborn54:
this system crashes are horrid. I keep playing witht he build.prop settings but I don't want to mess around too much.
[Sprint LG G2] brandonbarlow:
The spr settings don't give me any system crashes.
[Sprint LG G2] Cronic2009:
just a quick update, TMO setting is acting weird, when I am at my house pissing around with the phone it works fine, seems to be no issues but when leave my house I start getting crashes. It seems like when it is trying to acquire a new tower, it causes this UI crash. I haven't found this problem with the lowercase spr setting?!
[Sprint LG G2] brandonbarlow:
I read somewhere that it relates to if you get full bars for some reason it crashes with the tmo settings. Don't know why.
[Sprint LG G2] Cronic2009:
Yeah I have read that too, the problem is I don't have a signal app open to watch the levels as I am leaving but I am going to start monitoring it though, my average db level here in my home is about -86dBm, I am going to see what changes there are, if any, in this level between spr and TMO, also when I leave, so I can see whats going on with the signal crash, doesn't make much sense though?!
[Sprint LG G2] pshadoww:
But with this setting we have to add 1 in front of telephone number or dialer will crash. I switched to CM11 unlocked version because of this bug.
[Sprint LG G2] Reardon:
i have tried your method but it's Showing E sign now before it was GSM on the Top. but i after that i cannot view Roaming Setting where i was configuring APN settings now it's not showing and also when i click wireless it's not opening and crashing and getting back to desktop. also tried MMS same thing happening getting back to desktop after getting crash messages. btw i am on Pakistan's Network.

Please help me to fix this issue.

This is option to use any rom? I unlocked my phone by flashing Energy rom and everything works except gps and LTE. Does gps work for you guys?
[Sprint LG G2] brandonbarlow:
You dont have to do the build pop stuff. That is only for us in the US. Please go to the op link for the permanent unlock.
[Sprint LG G2] brandonbarlow:
I never had to add the 1. Did you ever try changing your build prop country to US?
[Sprint LG G2] brandonbarlow:
Gps depends on the rom. Talk to the rom creator to troubleshoot that. I like cloudy pro II 2.1 currently. Gps works on it. Its a stock based rom.
[Sprint LG G2] pshadoww:
Yes I did set all settings in op
[Sprint LG G2] MugenReborn54:
Im still getting system crashes even with build.prop settings in spr
[Sprint LG G2] realestone:
after i do this guide if i reset my phone will it lose everything ive setup in build.prop
[Sprint LG G2] brandonbarlow:
I had to do it again when switching Roms. Don't know about the factory reset.
[Sprint LG G2] MugenReborn54:
any updates on these system crashes?
[Sprint LG G2] brandonbarlow:
I don't have your phone in front of me. I would start over and start the steps over.
[Sprint LG G2] Cronic2009:
After the last few days of testing some different settings and configs, I have found over all, spr gives the GSM data icon, it runs the most stable by far and does connect hspa+ , OPEN is pretty stable and will give you the 3G and H icons, connects hspa + , will crash from time to time. TMO is very unstable, will give you the 4G icon, but will crash out when connection reaches full bars, when sending a multimedia message and just at random. I also had a funny glitch that when it would crash, it would resort back to default wallpaper, every time. Just thought I would share my experiences over the last week or so. Best of Luck to All messing with this phone!

I have a question for those of you that have mobile tethering/hotspot working, does your hotspot broadcast your SSID? I can connect to mine as long as I enter the SSID manually, it will not broadcast it so that it can be seen publicly. Thanks in Advanced!
[Sprint LG G2] bykim5:
i bought a G2 to use with Ting but it's too new so i moved to Tmobile and this guide really helped me out. Thanks

fwiw im using target operator spr and carrier as TMO. changed radio to GSM default. Everything is working great. HSPA+ is plenty fast enough
[Sprint LG G2] pshadoww:
Do you have problem that dialer crashes if you dial something like "6261234567"? Mine always crashes and the only way is to dial "16261234567", which is annoying.... I am using AT&T though.
[Sprint LG G2] Cronic2009:
Yeah....this a pretty well known glitch, I haven't found a fix out there for mine yet but I keep checking around. I did try the sim unlock, thats posted on here, it did give me some dialing options but they are more for international roaming and dialing international country code prefixes.
[Sprint LG G2] bykim5:
Yeah what i did was just add a 1 to all my contact phone numbers from google and resync'd..all other apps still work fine. No more crashing..perhaps it has to do with the target_country=US buildprop value..?
[Sprint LG G2] sRs DoLLaR mEnU:
Cannot get this to work

I folowed the guide step by step and the unlocking guide. When I put any GSM US Sim Card in it doesn't work. It'll say roaming indicator off and then when I try to call out the phone app Force Closes. Sprint G2 rooted on stock KK 4.4.2 Any ideas?

:confused:

my apn is locked to tracfone, not able to switch to tmobile, tried Tweakker many time, still locked to tracfone.

doe anyone know how to change the apn?
[Sprint LG G2] bykim5:
Doesn't Tweakker still require you to manually input in the info? Did you put epc.tmobile.com for APN?
[Sprint LG G2] sunwave:
I tried to created a new APN in Tweakker, still couldn't overwrite the tracfone.

Then i edit the system/etc/apns-conf.xml , delete the tracfone, it doe show epc.tmobile.com , but the ip address remain the same.

data speed is still 2G, my other phone note 1 got 4g speed all the time. I don't know why this phone only get 2g, i know many of you reported H+ speed.

---------- Post added at 04:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:11 AM ----------

for those who is getting H+ speed,

Does 3g/4g speed only occur in tmobile refarmed area? or any regular tmobile 4G/3G coverage area will work??:confused:
[Sprint LG G2] bykim5:
Assuming you did all the preliminary steps like overwriting "carrier" folder and setting the correct build.prop settings.. I'm running "spr" for ro.carrier and ro.build.target_operator. ro.telephony.default_network=3 for GSM/WCDMA

1. Run Tweakker

2. Select T-Mobile, Standard

3. Copy everything down

4. Click "Open Access Point Network"

5. Should be completely blank. Can you delete the tracfone first? Menu button - Add..

6. Add the two from Tweakker

Reboot - should connect to T-Mobile
[Sprint LG G2] sunwave:
Thank you for your help! i just missed the opportunity to try that.

I thought different rom may help getting better data speed, then i flashed CM11, it turns out that the best speed i could get is still 2G, i don't understand why, maybe it's just my phone's problem. sigh! :crying:
[Sprint LG G2] Cronic2009:
I tried changing my target country from US to COM, which should designate Korea as the target country but it did not fix the dialing glitch, I am going to try the sim unlock again, set target_country and see if it will let me set the option to dial out an international code for the US, I will report any positive findings, best of luck!
