[LG G Flex] HustleManiac:
u guy have install att tot and the att dll.... the radio will be turned of because you have a stock att rom on the sprint flex. this is just to intall recovery and root for super user access you cant do the steps to unlock with the att rom install w have to get back on sprint using this method download es file explorer give it root permission the you have to go to the system folder and edit build prop file

ro.product.model=LG-LS995

ro.build.target_operator=SPR

ro.build.target_country=US

ro.lge.swversion=LS995ZV3

ro.lge.swversion_short=ZV3

ro.lge.swversion_rev=17

ro.lge.factoryversion=LS995ZV3_17

then press back key on phone es file explorer will ask if you wanna save it . power off phone and reboot into download mode now it will take the sprint tot and sprint dll once back on stock redo the unlock process

Hit Thanks if this helps you
[LG G Flex] martinsavvy:
I did flash the Sprint tot and dll, I went completely back to stock and then followed the guide for the ATT Rom but the unlock isn't working, and Justins ATT port rom from this thread isnt letting me use my tmobile sim. As of now, just to have a functioning phone I am using the Dfuse Rom, but the Radio state is off as with every other rom. This rom picks up my sim but it doesn't let me call or text without wifi calling on.
[LG G Flex] cougarcougar:
Before you flashed the att rom. Did you do the unlock steps and change to gsm while still on the sprint rom. I think post #51 has a good step by step that got mine running
[LG G Flex] martinsavvy:
Yeah I did do the unlock steps, however, I could not change to GSM while on the sprint rom, I tried doing everything possible to switch and looked up hidden menus and build prop edits, but it always reverts back. Im not sure what the problem is. Im breaking my head over it lol. Thanks for your replies guys.
[LG G Flex] boostedcx:
I have tried this tutorial several times over and cannot seem to get any kind of GSM signal using either a T-Mobile or ATT sim. I think I am going wrong here:

This is my first time messing with permissions on a phone. Once I navigate to the root of the device in ES File Explorer, I'm not sure what is meant by "R/W option, and then select /System/ button for R/W mount". Can someone please dumb this down even further for me so that I can understand? Thank you.
[LG G Flex] martinsavvy:
I'm sort of going through the same thing. Your question in short though, R/W means to mount the file system as both Read-able, and Write-able. When you give read and write permissions, you can overwrite files (as you are trying to do with the carrier folder and apns file) in the system directory.
[LG G Flex] boostedcx:
Okay, I was able to mount the system as R/W using a third party app. I then transferred /carrier/, replaced apns-conf.xml, and deleted the .db files. I am still unable to get any signal at all with a GSM sim inserted. I also have an icon of a sim card with a red (X) in it in the upper right. Also I have the six signal bars with a red (X) as well. The lock screen tells me that there is no sim inserted. When I search for available networks, it finds ATT and TMO, but I am unable to register on them.

Does anyone know how I should troubleshoot this? Thanks.

---------- Post added at 05:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 PM ----------

I just tested with a Sprint SIM card and selected CDMA under Mobile Networks, and I can get signal and the SIM card with red X has gone away. The lock screen recognizes that I have a Sprint SIM inserted.
[LG G Flex] boostedcx:
Update - as soon as I flashed the ATTSprint ROM, my signal and data appeared instantly. I thought the ATTSprint ROM was optional?
[LG G Flex] supreme83:
It is IF you had done the unlock properly and switched to gsm in the sprint rom. I can't really say why your route worked if you didn't select gsm I the stick rom but it had to accomplish the same thing with your build prop edits and whatever changes you made before or after you flashed the rom. If you could provide more detail it would help some of these guys that are stuck. I would try to help but I don't understand what steps you have taken..I'm on phone right now so reading the thread kind of sucks
[LG G Flex] TechShui:
Are you also having force closes? After foolishly doing a Factory Reset (THought it would help) I get the Android Setup screen. And at the end of the setup, it says "LGsetup has stopped working".

I also can't get the LGFlashTool to detect my G Flex.

I'm really confused :silly:

And did you ever get your phone working?
[LG G Flex] martinsavvy:
I believe there may be a problem with the ROM compatibility in your case. Or some system files were possibly deleted? Be sure to turn on USB Debugging and edit your device manager settings to COM41 so the flash tool can properly detect your phone. Your best bet would be to flash stock rom (if you can get it to detect) and try the whole unlock procedure from the beginning.

And, I have not gotten my G Flex to work, I just ordered the T-mobile version for now, and I may sell the sprint version, or successfully unlock it and give it to a family member (we all use T-mobile).
[LG G Flex] 2strokenut:
Phone Not Allowed MM #6

I've been going at it with this phone for days and its been a real PITA.

1.) I've followed the steps to a T in the instructions. If I edit build prop to OPEN I immediately get force closes and have to flash back to stock.

2.) Once I'm able to get the ATT rom on I get this message : Phone Not Allowed MM #6 I cannot chose a network but can edit APNs and whatnot.

3.) I've gone back and done this maybe 3 times and still nothing.

4.) I edited build prop to OPEN while in the ATT rom and managed to not crash but still cannot get a signal.

What am I missing here? How can everyone get this running and this Flex not work? I have to be missing some super small detail.

EDIT: Phone is blacklisted, it wasn't coming up on the swappa esn check but a call to sprint confirmed.

Few things I've learned in the last few days:

No need to flash a rom to get flashtool to flash to stock, just go into recovery and wipe system and power off.
[LG G Flex] Lussardi:

[LG G Flex] asj2583:
Did you ever get past this? I've tried everything and cant get it to flash even in lg tools due to error that it's the wrong firmware. I know that if i was able to boot into the twrp i be able to wipe and then boot into download mode and flash the firmware but i can't get it to boot into the recovery. Can anyone help with this?

[LG G Flex] Crossvxm:
T-Mobile works excellent

Tested it on T-Mobile with HSPA and its working 100%. Yet to test MMS. Downgraded to 4.2.2 TOT method, switched the radio to GSM on the Sprint rom in the Settings menu, rooted stock with the Towelroot apk, used Freedom Flex to get TWRP regardless of "not working on 4.2.2" warning (I can confirm it still works for our variant, not sure about other carrier G Flex), cleared cache, data, dalvik and flashed over stock Sprint 4.2.2 with no issues. Then I went into the Mobile Network settings in the Settings app, set the T-Mobile apns and presto. Ive attached images of the speeds in NYC using the Speed Test app at around 3pm in the afternoon on a Saturday, see results below.

I also would love to see 4.4.2, but as a previous poster mentioned, we all have lives to live, as you can see, he hasnt really been keeping up with the thread so I assume as all of us are, he is really busy. Since I started working a 12 hours a day job, I can barely play with my collection of devices or flash roms anymore. In this case, I dedicated my weekend to do get this rom since I bought this G Flex mint with an Otterbox for $180 which was currently in "active" status due to the previous owner's issue with his ex girlfriend. I dislike the 720p section of the phone, but the curved display has been very helpful for games.

If I knew how to compile one of these roms, I would, so we can have 4.4.2 like the LG G2 LS980 has. Thankfully, its not trying to take the OTA update on this rom.

I am very grateful for [MENTION=2673389]justinswidebody[/MENTION] work
[LG G Flex] Gothicgeek7981:
There are flaws with the rom

That rom is crap my rebuild is so much better No crappy AT&T branding and no AT&T apps and I already modded the build.prop in the rom itself, Also there is 1 other flaw with the rom I will keep secret as to not give away an upper hand . My rom is 100% LG Stock branded and has no need for Tweakker at all.
[LG G Flex] kintwofan:
Seriously? You come in talking crap about a respected guys work and bragging how yours is superior?
[LG G Flex] Gothicgeek7981:
I spent 3 weeks rebuilding his work because of all the flaws and funny thing is I'm a noob to modding roms.
[LG G Flex] kintwofan:
And you're point is what? I'll tell you the first lesson to building a ROM you don't got bashing others work. He threw this together in the early days of the flex as a completely stock ROM (the art stuff was left on purpose) I it served its purpose. Here's another idea why don't you release yours on your own thread like you should then we'll see how flawless it is
[LG G Flex] Crossvxm:
Fantastic quick question, is your rom 4.4.2 based?
[LG G Flex] Gothicgeek7981:
Not yet, the rom I have is Justin's broke down, rebuilt and updated, Yeah so he threw it together back in the day but to let it still sit with all the flaws never updating it or fixing it just seemed kinda lame. But using his as a template and what I learned in the 3 weeks of rebuilding his I am working on a 4.4.2 but soon 4.4.4 as well. It will be fully unbranded will have no problems with build.prop and no need for the apn apps (tweakker). In the rom I rebuilt I left built by Justin and added Modded/Rebuilt By Me

[LG G Flex] eghoti1:
This is awesome thanks so much for these guides! got a Sprint g flex super cheap so I am using it on T-Mobile.

Just having one issue with texts. Both the stock messaging app and 3rd party apps for text are crashing on launch. Any idea how to fix? its on the ATTSprint Rom. APN settings look correct and i deleted those 2 items in the data folder during install. thanks!
[LG G Flex] Crossvxm:
Are you using the 3G APN or the 4G LTE APN? Mine works perfectly. ALL YOU NEED IS:

Name: T-Mobile

APN: fast.t-mobile.com

MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

MMS Proto: wap 2.0 <<<<<<(IN SOME OCCASSIONS THIS OPTION DOES NO APPEAR)

MCC: 310

MNC: 260

Apn type: default,supl,admin,dun,mms

The last one (apn type) has no spaces between the words or comas.

It works for me flawlessly. All of the rest is unnecessary/left blank.

I do the same thing, only I trade them for official T-Mobile ones afterwards since these Sprint versions will only get HSPA or H+ and no LTE.

Also, if they are crashing, did you make sure you did a clean install? It never gave me that issue at all.
[LG G Flex] eghoti1:
Thanks!! I did another factory reset and advanced reset of dav and cache then rebooted and entered your info. Works perfect like you said now. Appreciate it.

Fyi since the first instance of ATTSprint ROM loaded I have been getting a 4G data icon, not H or H+. Speeds are still on low side rang from 4-9 Mbps but encouraging to see that guy on my screen :) I'm based in NYC which is obviously a reframed area and today in Harrisburg PA also showing 4G. Can't thank you guys enough. Any place to donate a coffee to for OP?
[LG G Flex] Crossvxm:
Hey I'm in NYC as well! :) The 4G symbol is cosmetic as when you go to Settings > About Phone > Status and look at the Mobile Network Type it shows HSPA. I'll tell you this much, it was usable enough to download things at great speeds and so on, but LTE will always be the fastest, especially on LG phones.
[LG G Flex] sidgallup:

[LG G Flex] Alex_XV6700:

Problem

Hi,

I'm entirely new to xda, but just had a concern i wanted to share. I rooted my G Flex (ls995), installed CWM and booted into recovery. After a factory reset, I readily attempted to install the zip attsprint to try and flash the rom. It flashed alright and all, but when i rebooted my phone, it displayed a black screen. I got the standard "LG" logo and then the screen goes black. The only way i even know it's on is because the small LED light on the front of the device is alternating gradually between a green and light blue color.

Also, I've tried flashing it back to stock by downloading the flashable stock firmware, but i have no way of getting it to my phone seeing as my computer no longer recognizes my G Flex (drivers are all installed). On top of that, i would love to just flash the stock rom via the LG flash tool, but when i try starting into download mode, it just shuts the phone off and back on again.

Any help regarding any one of these issues would be greatly appreciated!
[LG G Flex] Alex_XV6700:
To enter download mode with the phone on press Vol - and power until the phone shuts off. Then phone will flash twice like powering on (keep pressing the pwr + Vol -).

After its powered off you have to press Vol + and connect the usb cable.

Then use LG Flash tool to return to stock.
[LG G Flex] fabifabriciologan:
Thanks! the download mode started up that way. However, when i tried flashing the stock rom via LG's flashtool. (Downloaded Flash Tool, replaced 'MegaLock' file, acquired ls995 4.2 stock and started up the flashing tool on my PC running Windows 7) Everything appeared to be working well, but after allowing the PC to recognize my device and read "ready" i disconnected the USB and reconnected it 5s later (as instructed) only to find the following error message...

" PID: PT04S140219001376

IMEI: 990003560308013

Model: D950

BIN: LSS995ZV3_17.S3_17.P51098.TOT

SWV: LSS995ZV9_03

SWOV: LSS995ZV9_03

Device Model is different!

Check Phone or DLL!

00000000 "

I'm afraid that after flashing the attsprint rom, the flashing tool is recognizing my device as an att model g flex, :confused: (which it is not). Be it whatever it may be, i would greatly appreciate any help you could throw my way.
[LG G Flex] Alex_XV6700:
Go ahead and download atts kk tot and flash it as it were the normal procedure, be sure to download the dll too for D950. Next use towelroot + supersu + freedomflex. Then download then use the ls995 zip found in this guide made by [MENTION=4155494]kintwofan[/MENTION] http://xdaforums.com/lg-g-flex/general/tutorial-d959-unroot-downgrade-to-t2814158

[LG G Flex] es0tericcha0s:
Just a heads up for those still looking to do this...

You don't need to do the G2 unlock method or mess with the carrier folder at all. Just switch the network mode while on the original Sprint rom, then install the rom from this thread (assuming you are on 4.2.2 already or have downgraded to it). Not sure if you need to edit the build.prop to work on other networks, but this method works fine for ATT / Cricket. If you don't switch modes on the Sprint rom, you'll be unable to get into Mobile Networks on the ATT rom and the radio will be disabled.
[LG G Flex] bto001:
NFC?

Hi bro, some solution to NFC ?
[LG G Flex] 2girls1cup:
freedom flex

freedom flex isn't compatible with 4.2.2 as it states. How did you flash a recovery on 4.2.2?
[LG G Flex] Crossvxm:
As silly as this may sound, you use Freedom Flex :D

I don't understand why it claims to not support it if it still works. Perhaps it was a warning because something was changed and the developer thought it wouldn't work on jellybean.

But I've always ignored the warning and it works perfectly.
[LG G Flex] es0tericcha0s:
I always use Flashify. Rashr would probably work as well.
[LG G Flex] jack_d12:
If you want to keep the NFC and GPS functionality and not go to the AT&T rom follow the steps in this link ->

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2798566

you'll be on stock 4.2.2 sprint rom but everything will be working.

The problem with my phone was that after i changed the build.prop ro.build.carrier to open it would always crash. mounting correctly w/ the steps from the link stopped the crashing

I am able to use the phone on HSPDA+ on T-mobile w/ downloads around 4mb and up about 1-2mb.

I'm gonna see if i can do that same after going to kit kat with all the files in this thread ->

I'm now on sprint 4.4.2 kitkat running t-mobile able to make calls, gps, nfc, and hspda+ data.

Some things i noticed are it does not show the carrier in the status bar.

even though i'm getting hspda+ speeds, it shows the GSM icon. no 3g 4g icons. i confirmed 4-5mb up and 1-2 dn via speedtest.

have been reading in the g flex 2 forums about unlocking bands on ls996, found a menu on the ls995 using the method, got to this menu using code master

Anyone have any experience with this?
[LG G Flex] dustinde:
This menu doesn't seem to do anything for the phone. I have an approach that might work to enable lte on ls995 running the att rom with NV memory edits to enable all the lte bands. I have already done the NV memory modifications just have to downgrade to 4.2.2 and root install recovery and zip this rom to see if i gain full lte on att network using ls995 sprint variant.
[LG G Flex] Supertacomonkeyexplosion:
So I take it you tried this menu approach? Seems redundant to have the menu,but none of the bands?

I'm really green to some of this, so keep me updated and I can gladly help/test. Thanks for the reply.

I have been searching some FCC docs to see if the ls995 was even capable of the at&t bands. Came across this :
[LG G Flex] dustinde:
Interesting

I have with no success. Although if you are in a band 26 or 41 area which is the better bands as far as data speed i have found how you can disable band 25 and it will connect to band 26 or 41 if you are within range. Screenshots provided. Also if you are not in a strong area for those bands but can jump on to them if you put your phone in lte only mode. Then disable band 25. If 26 or 41 are there it will jump onto them.
[LG G Flex] Supertacomonkeyexplosion:
I disabled band 25 and tested my results. Still connected with full signal. When I enabled "LTE only" ,phone had no cellular signal or data. Does this mean I don't have 26 or 41 in my area?( northern Michigan) Also when I switched off band 25 my data symbol changed from "gsm" with the circle too "3G" for a minute and then back to "gsm" .The first test is with my current settings and the other 2 tests are with band 25 disabled.
[LG G Flex] dustinde:
Use lte discovery to see what band your connected to? Are you using the att rom? Or rooted stock rom? Are you in a spark area? Check sprint coverage. As far as the GSM are you using a att sim or sprint SIM?
[LG G Flex] Supertacomonkeyexplosion:
Sorry I left out that info..... I used the G2 SIM unlock method on stock 4.4.2, where you replace the "carrier" folder. Rooted,with some visual xposed modules running. I'm using a AT&T mvno (cricket) SIM. I don't think I'm in a sprint spark area. Pretty rural here. LTE band "unknown". I will try and play with it some more, but it looks like I'm limited by my location and bands available.
[LG G Flex] dustinde:
Ok so your pretty much there where i am except i have modified the NV memory on the phone to attempt to get 4g lte with att only problem is i don't have a att sim to test.

If you are wanting to try to get lte do this modification. Im going to buy a att sim tonight for go phone service to test.
