i got a sim starter kit from tmobile do i need to activate the sim card first?
[Sprint LG G3] 1619415:
Ah you may need to call customer serverice or a store but I would think so. I could be wrong so again try calling :D
[Sprint LG G3] treezy26:
ok so its activated but i get unable to connect to network try again later??? and there is also an x on my sim card in status bar
[Sprint LG G3] 1619415:
OK well cm 12 may work I like this one http://xdaforums.com/sprint-lg-g3/orig-development/cyanogenmod-12-beta-ls990-t2958197. You may need to try working with it but it may work just because of the config
[Sprint LG G3] 1619415:
Please let me know if this works. You may need to put in APN settings
[Sprint LG G3] Surrylic:
I can't figure out how to get cm12 to work at all because I can't find settings for either network or APN.

[Sprint LG G3] 1619415:
OK I just looked my self and couldn't find it so what you could do is try the stock ZV6 thread I posted on the first page. Or try a different rom that may work.
[Sprint LG G3] treezy26:
What does the Sim card with the x in my status bar mean?
[Sprint LG G3] 1619415:
It means that your phone cannot connect to a network

Are you on CM 12 or stock rom? I tried messing with so many different settings to get it to stick to GSM but no go. :/ I hate LG's stock. Really wish I could get ATT running on CM12.
[Sprint LG G3] treezy26:
I am on stock rooted zv6. I would try going back to stock and then try flashing cm12. This is where I'm lost. Do we have to stay on stock in order for this to work? Oh and I'm using T-Mobile.
[Sprint LG G3] jetmn:
Sprint to t-mobile TW

So I am checking to make sure I can get a sprint G3 and flash the stock T-mobile firmware on it. I need the wifi calling that TMO has. I get scared of buying a TMO phone and then getting the ESN locked on me for non-payment from the original owner. Sprint also always seems to be the cheapest on CL. Thanks!
[Sprint LG G3] treezy26:
I flashed a T-Mobile ROM and it wouldn't boot up for me.
[Sprint LG G3] xxsanioutlawxx:
I got GSM to stick on CM11 using the Network app in the playstore. For some reason, it won't stick on CM12. Changing build.prop on stock is simple, but not on Cyanogen... :/
[Sprint LG G3] Surrylic:
I haven't been able to figure out cm12 either, it's been frustrating. Good to hear it works in cm11 though! It's not lollipop but it's better than stock at least, imo.

Sent from my LGLS990
[Sprint LG G3] 1619415:
Please explain some more that way I can understand what your talking about
[Sprint LG G3] Surrylic:
I can get GSM to stick with zero issues on Cloudy G3, so I generally use that ROM. I'm a bigger fan of vanilla android though, so I keep trying cm11 and cm12. When I go to change the settings in the Network app I pick one of the GSM options and it just immediately reverts to CDMA. There are no settings in shortcut master that appear related to this stuff. There is nothing in the settings app itself that is helpful. Basically I can't do any of your steps on a cyanogenmod ROM (the work fine on a stock LG based ROM only). The person above said that the Network app works for them on cm11 but that is not the case worth me when I tried earlier today.

[Sprint LG G3] xxsanioutlawxx:
Spot on, bro! Same thing that was happening with me. My CM11 build was one of the first ones, I never upgraded to a newer build. Maybe the newer builds are effin with the sticking :/ So f*ckin frustrated that I can't run CM12 on this precious... I'm back to my HTC M7 GPE because I can't stand LG's stock garbage... Waiting for the day when I can get CM12 running with ATT or TMO! I'm going to flash the same CM11 build and I'll get back to you and let you know if it works.

Hey man, so I was lurking the Original Android Threads... I found this:

I'll be flashing CM12 later on tonight or tomorrow so I won't know until then, but it looks promising. A guy said it worked with ATT on the 12/15 build of CM12.
[Sprint LG G3] xxsanioutlawxx:
I can confirm that the build.prop edit link I posted in the previous post let's a gsm network (att in my case) stick in CM12.
[Sprint LG G3] xxsanioutlawxx:
UPDATE: I tried that method on the 12/20 build and it's a negative. I had to revert back to the 12/15 CM12 build.

Just an FYI...

Glad that you like this method
[Sprint LG G3] lightcao:
I've tried this method but I have no luck. I currently don't have service with Sprint anymore and I cannot get T-Mobile working on my phone. I set the IOT settings to GSM only and then when I go to add the apn, I add the apn, it just disappears when I click save.

I've also tried to use the roaming settings and it searches and see T-Mobile just fine but I cannot register it with the network. I go to settings/about phone/network/ and it says my carrier is LG. What does this mean?

Any insight on this? I'm having such a hard time with the LS990 in regards to unlocking. No method works. Is it because I don't have a number with Sprint? :[

How is the data for this with Tmobile? Is it lte speeds or slower?
[Sprint LG G3] 1619415:
E all the way to 4G LTE
[Sprint LG G3] Ducalion:
Some comments are very confusing to the limit to think they are deliberate. Very confusing.....

As far as I know CM12 a la Lolipop for G3 is not rooted yet. When you upgrade to Loli you lose root even if the rom you were flashing was already rooted and even if you enable root from settings......(cm12 roms has a setting) . I think this is because the rom has no supersu installed and root setting is set to not allow root access by default. So even if you enable roo and install supersu it does not work as it should.

Now, some of you talked about editing build prop file on cm12 roms to get gsm sims to work. How did you manage to edit the prop file without root? Are there any cm12roms that root works on? I'm on Illusion rom on a ls990 with broken root.....
[Sprint LG G3] 1619415:
Ok cm12 you don't loses root if you use the one on the general develoment. You can also flash the supersu package to regain root
[Sprint LG G3] lightcao:
Got T-Mobile working correctly finally! Thanks for your help OP.

Currently struggling with only edge speeds. Any insight to fix this? I've messed around with the APN settings and it is still the same speeds. I did the SPR to OPEN to OPEN to spr and nothing there as well. Can someone help me with this? Is it normal that I don's see a GSM logo when using data?
[Sprint LG G3] 1619415:
Rather then "SPR" try "TMO" this should fix your data icons and then for the edge it may be the phone dosent have the bands
[Sprint LG G3] lightcao:
Figured it out! I am currently getting better speeds than edge. It's not too significant but it certainly makes a difference. I used shortcut manager and then looked up "com.lge.hiddenmenu.lte_only.LteBandSelection" and then I changed it to use band 2 only. (Band 2,4,12 - T-Mobile in my area. Band 2 seemed to work the best.)
[Sprint LG G3] 1619415:
OK well good luck and write back if you need anymore help
[Sprint LG G3] vipercoyote:
What type of speeds are you getting? Have you done a speedtest yet witht he app
[Sprint LG G3] lightcao:
It's for sure not 4G. My max d/l is about 100 kbps and 15 up. Its not that great but it's pretty good to hold me down for a while. I'm trying to see if I can trade this G3 for T-Mobile variant though. Hope this helps.
[Sprint LG G3] 1619415:
One person swears on 4G So i guest it depends on the person and phone and location
[Sprint LG G3] pringles_bbq:
I don't see anywhere in there that says sprint ls990 is supported. Is it safe to flash?
[Sprint LG G3] Surrylic:
Not safe. That ROM used to support loads of variants, including ours, but when they updated to lollipop the creator only took the time to make it compatible with the couple of versions in the title. No longer working on ls990 :/

[Sprint LG G3] pringles_bbq:
Thanks for confirming. If so OP shouldn't put it in then. It might confuse people
[Sprint LG G3] Surrylic:
Not totally OPs fault, that same thread had the compatible ROM at one point, but when they upgraded to lollipop they deleted the old CloudyG3 KitKat links and replaced them with new ones. That link totally would have worked in the past haha.

If you can find the KitKat version of cloudy somewhere, it'll work perfectly.

LTE with SIM

Hello all!

I have a question.

I have a LS990 from sprint and I programmed it to use it with Tricom (Dominican Republic CDMA carrier) and I have voice, sms, mms and 3G (EVDO-Rev.A) data working flawlessly. The thing is that Tricom does offer LTE with a Sim card. If I SIM Unlock my phone, will it be able to pick up LTE?

Thanks MikeDroid!

I saw that thread for the SIM unlock to use the phone with GSM networks, but I didn't see anyone using the phone in CDMA mode and unlocked SIM just for LTE.

Do you think this is do-able?
[Sprint LG G3] 1619415:
Unless this is about my thread please pm him
[Sprint LG G3] sosobra809:
This is about your thread. :good:

I have a LS990 with a Dominican CDMA carrier (tricom) and I have everything working (Voice, sms, MMS and EVDO data). They offer LTE with a SIM card, Do you think that my phone will be able to pick LTE with them using your method?

Thanks!
[Sprint LG G3] MikeDroid:
Yes, but as far as we know only the OP has tried it. I threw it out there because you have a unique carrier (not one of the big 4). The method in this thread is very good and straight forward, but might not work for everyone. The method I referred to looks like a true SIM unlock that might be better suited for you. I'm just pointing to another option. I'm not sure how much help I will be as I have no first hand knowledge other than using DFS to read my phone in diag mode. PM me or we can discuss in appropriate thread as per the OPs wish.

Sorry. I didn't know this was a SIM unlock competition. Your method has been a solid solution.

I would like to know this aswell!!
[Sprint LG G3] savannahmick:
Please help me!!!

I have been trying to get my G3 running zv8 barepop to use the Cricket network which is now on the ATT system. I have a Cricket moto g with LTE so I copy the APN settings from the access point on it then I pull the Sim card put it in my G3 but before I swap Sims out I goto roaming and allow GSM data cause if I put the GSM Sim in first its grayed out. Also I create a new APN enter the settings from the Moto G hit save but it don't show up afterwards. I then swap Sims out and try to enter APN settings but still don't show up after I hit save so I am lost. With the GSM Sim in I do have a few more settings in roaming it will search for available GSM networks and I have ATT GSM, T-Mobile GSM, ATT WCDMA, and T-Mobile WCDMA but it says network connection unavailable at this time when I choose either of the ATT options. I do know how to add a APN with Shortcut Master but it don't save the one I create with the Cricket settings from my Moto G. I am going crazy trying to get this figured out but I am not sure what to do or what I did wrong? Is the problem with the Sim card being for the Moto G? I am pretty good at figuring out things but I am stuck with this issue. I seen a post in a thread saying that a user was able to get Cricket working with zv8 and LS990 but I sent him a PM just hasn't responded yet. Thanks for any help or info that I get! I really hate being a pest and usually don't have to ask for help just desperate to get it working! Thanks again!

replace the two files and it is done. You don't need to copy the carrier folder or change the build file. In the network settings, i choose Global and use the shortcut master lite to manually add the t-mobile apn. But i can only get the HSPA speed. I try to add all the lte bands from shortcut master, but it looks like doesn't work, still HSPA.

My understanding is that the baseband version must match the baseband of the debrick.img, as well as the version of Android, so I am leaving links for my debrick file used to resurrect my SGH-I747 after I upgraded to Lollipop 5.0.

I tried the smaller partial system dumb image files and it worked as it had on my earlier bricks

I then used the following commands with a terminal emulator after placing the debrick.img file on the phones internal memory and was then able to recycle the 16GB micro SD card using MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition.

su <enter>

dd if=/sdcard/debrick.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0<enter>

Please use my debrick .img running Android 5.0 on the NE4 baseband.
