Hey guys after a long time of working and testing im am able to unlock our LS990 unlocked on GSM :)

This guide is not my work, its some other devs work that i m sharing for you all as most people are confused what to do to unlock GSM on ZV8.

Here is how:

(i) Rename the two files to the extension .bak, in case u want to revert to previous files.

(ii) Copy the files to career/apps/ folder.

(iii) Using Shortcut master lite click and hold the recent apps button and click "Search"

(iv) Select "System apps" and enter in the search bar "hidden", a list will appear , scroll to the activity with name of "modemsettings" at the end or similar

(v) Select RAT selection and select AUTOMATIC.

(vi) Reboot your phone and enjoy GSM Internationally :)

Hit Thanx If this helps you .

Special thanx to [MENTION=5776618]1619415[/MENTION] for his time :)
[Sprint LG G3] tomtam:
Thanks ..successfully unlocked.

Just wanted to check too even though this wont be the exact thread but seems the same unlock method for LG FLEX 2 (LS996) sprint lollipop ..would it work on flex 2. The risk part is that custom recovery and stock rom has not yet been released so if this method fails ..the phone would be in a really bad shape.

Please check if you have or can help me to support the same.

Thanks in advance
[Sprint LG G3] IlluminaTimmy:
Do I need to be running stock zv8 rom, or can I run barepop v2 & still work?
[Sprint LG G3] Ali Abdullah:
Well these files contain network configurations, it may work on ur g flex but it wont harm your phone in case this file is not compatible with yours.

Best of luck buddy
[Sprint LG G3] Ali Abdullah:
Yes it will work on any stock based rom
[Sprint LG G3] sinisin:
Anyone figure out how to prevent a dialer crash after a call when using Sprint?
[Sprint LG G3] pringles_bbq:
Does this work on US GSM carriers (T-Mobile)? I belive I have tried a similar method when ZV8 first came out and it wouldn't work.
[Sprint LG G3] calcappone:
Need Help Unlocking!!!

Ok I am at my wits end trying to get my MetroPCS sim to register. I have replaced the /carrier/apps folder. I have installed shortcut master and found my way to the roaming menu and search for GSM networks and seen T-Mobile and ATT pop up but when I try to register with T-Mobile it gives me an error. I tried to change the build.prop file from SPR to spr and when I do that com.android.phone constantly FC's until I change it back and anytime I add a APN and save it disappears. Please could someone help me!!! Thank you
[Sprint LG G3] Ali Abdullah:
Do not modify build.prop it will always end up in a crash.

Just go to settings,networks and choose network m0de to global.

Also ,prefer barepop with a different kernel .

I belive it will solve ur problem
[Sprint LG G3] Ali Abdullah:
Well i m nt in US, but i belive that use barepop v2 n this wil work
[Sprint LG G3] calcappone:
I switched to BarePop v2. When I go to settings, more, mobile network, my option to choose Network mode is grayed out. Also it always say "Invalid Sim"
[Sprint LG G3] Ali Abdullah:
Have u copied the unlocking files again?

actually your phone is not recognizing the sim card.

When u copy the unlocking files properly,it will detect the sim card and the m0bile network option will be applicable.
[Sprint LG G3] calcappone:
Yes, I downloaded the files from the first post and copied them to the \carrier\apps\ folder and still my sim card is not detected and the network options is grayed out. Is this only for international gsm? Because I'm in america on MetroPCS
[Sprint LG G3] sinisin:
Just a question, you fixed permissions on the files after you moved them right?
[Sprint LG G3] calcappone:
yes, both file are supposed to be rwx rwx --- right? Whenever I change node.db permissions an reboot they always change back to rw- rw- ---
[Sprint LG G3] sinisin:
No. They should look like this......
[Sprint LG G3] calcappone:
Ok, i changed permissions to match yours and still get "Invalid Sim" And all can't change network mode.
[Sprint LG G3] Ali Abdullah:
Just to cnfrm jst insert another gsm sim.

Because i am internationally using my phone and its working perfectly with any sim card
[Sprint LG G3] Ali Abdullah:
Use these files
[Sprint LG G3] Ali Abdullah:
Permissions must be like this
[Sprint LG G3] calcappone:
OMG!!! You did it!!! Thank You a million times! app.zips from the last post did it thank you!!! I detects my sim card but i have no signal bars
[Sprint LG G3] Ali Abdullah:
Thats my pleasure :) now u have to tune up your network settings and try changing your modem ,it will work i hope :)
[Sprint LG G3] gLam16:
How u get the data ?

I have no data sim lock disabled agree..

But no data connection..

Thanks anyway.
[Sprint LG G3] Ali Abdullah:
Use shortcut master and get to the hidden menu with apns activity and add apn, select that apn and restart ur phone,enjoy data :)
[Sprint LG G3] calcappone:
I Have got my phone detecting my sim card instead of say "invalid sim" but I haven't got data or calls to work. When ever I try to make a call it says "Out of Network Range". I have my "modem_settings" "Network Mode" set to automatic, my "RAT Selection" set to automatic, and my "Settings"/ "More..."/"Mobile network"/ "Network mode" set to Global and also Have enter MetroPCS APN and T-Mobile APN and saved still no calls or data. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Are we suppose to enter an IP address in "4G settings"?
[Sprint LG G3] Ali Abdullah:
I dont understand why isnt ur phone getting a signal. use some network discovery aPP From play store and have the network selected
[Sprint LG G3] creepin:
I did everything Ali but my phone does not detect my sim I m using telenor I did whatever u instructed in ur posts but still no luck unable to unlock my sim :(
[Sprint LG G3] shazii:
is root needed ??

Noob Question pls dont mind

is root needed for this method , i'm on 5.0.1

if yes how do i get root access

thanks
[Sprint LG G3] calcappone:
I used this method http://xdaforums.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/guide-how-to-restore-sprint-lg-g3-ls990-t2852042 to get to stock ZV4 and rooted it then just install BarePop v2. I still cant get any signal. It reads my sim, I can go to Setting/About Phone status and see all my sim info but it will not get a signal for the life of me. I got my APN right, switched to gsm only. I guess it's just not ment to be for me:crying:
[Sprint LG G3] LilDemon124:
You have to call them and give them them your imei number. Sorry if its too late
[Sprint LG G3] sinisin:
It should be Global not GSM Only
[Sprint LG G3] calcappone:
I think I finally figured out why I'm not getting a signal. The LG G3 I bought is blacklisted so I don't think I can use it on any carrier. BUMMER!!!

:crying:
[Sprint LG G3] pringles_bbq:
Anyone confirm this working with US carrier?
[Sprint LG G3] Pudz:
Confirmed, working on ZV8 with T-Mobile with the most recently posted Apps.zip. Has a spinny GSM logo instead of actual data icon, but seems to go between HSPAP and UMTS. Connection is good, GPS works well. No LTE, even with the Qualcomm Band Unlock tweak.
[Sprint LG G3] house_of_rahl:
Finally got this working!! Currently on T-Mobile and working excellent, just wish I had LTE. Became a master at the steps after a while (including the phone root which is a real pain if you use the .exe file, was able to root using ADB commands instead).. Thank you!:good:
[Sprint LG G3] Ali Abdullah:
anyone who is unable to get the GSM working,you must check the permissions of the unlocking files, and also, em giving you the whole carrier partition, copy all files and replace the previous files.
[Sprint LG G3] pringles_bbq:
Which ROM are you guys using? ZV8 Deodexed Stock or Barepop?
[Sprint LG G3] Pudz:
I'm on Barepop.
[Sprint LG G3] pringles_bbq:
Thanks a lot. It's working right now but Data is really slow (few hundreds kbps at best). How's your speed? did you change anything to apn ?
[Sprint LG G3] Pudz:
My data is right where I expect it to be, though the signal is weaker in general than on my T-Mobile G2 which got LTE, especially in places like my basement. I'm using the standard fast.Tmo APN, T-Mobile LTE IPv6 APN details that are out there.
[Sprint LG G3] pringles_bbq:
Tried IPv6 and MMS is now working great!. Data is only ~1Mbps but I can live with that for now.

Thanks
[Sprint LG G3] Ali Abdullah:
You are welcome
[Sprint LG G3] Ali Abdullah:

is there any other way?
[Sprint LG G3] alhjres:

[Sprint LG G3] Ali Abdullah:

or u can use titanium backup to freeze it
[Sprint LG G3] chadq89:
What do I do if i dont have a carrier folder
[Sprint LG G3] Ali Abdullah:
it will be in the root of device ,without that folder you cant even have a sprint sim working if you are on stock
[Sprint LG G3] Sonone01:
I'm not seeing the app folder in carrier. Does the phone have to be rooted for it to work or is that I need to change the permissions to see it?
[Sprint LG G3] sinisin:
You must be rooted to modify /system files.......
[Sprint LG G3] Sonone01:
How do I get root for my LS990 ZV8? What worked for you guys? I have tried One Click Root 1.2 & 1.3 with no success. Could it be Sprint updates is preventing this
[Sprint LG G3] sinisin:
Revert to ZV4 with LGFlashtool and then use Stump Root.
[Sprint LG G3] Sonone01:
Hey I was doing exactly this earlier this morning but the LG Flash tool was hanging/freezing up on the version Windows I was using. So I decided to try One Click Root 1.2 once more and everything worked like butter. Phone got rooted and from there the sim unlock was easiest part.

Thanks for your helpful replies.

Does it work on ZVA?
[Sprint LG G3] nemanja1:
I unlocked my G3 when was on ZV4 by editing build.prop in my system, but my signal strenght is too bad. So i am now on ZV8 Barepop and i was asking is there any way to fix it, or should i do this way of unlocking again, arcross the old one, maybe it helps?

Major problem is and when i turn off wifi, and turn on data it wont catch the internet until i restart the phone. I dont know why is this happening but its driving me crazy.

One more thing is the data icnon, which is like a circle with GSM letters in it, and it keeps spining around. How can i bring it back like a normal one letter H or H+ depending on where i am?

Will this also work on ZVA?

EDIT: It worked, if someone is iterested for.

Well these files contain network configurations, it may work on ur g flex but it wont harm your phone in case this file is not compatible with yours.

Best of luck buddy.

Will this work on the lg g flex 2, if you unlock it from sprint to att&t. I guess there is a sprint lock on it. Please let me know if anyone has successfully done this. Thank you and email me at distin.wood@gmail.com or repost on here thank you!!!

I edited my build prop and it did not give me any adverse effects, no errors no bootloops and the best part is i finally got my new APN to stick!

[Sprint LG G3] PhoneNoobs:
U need to root your phone and install busy box and a custom recovery then install a rom and then flash the global cdma to gsm patch. Or you can just use this tutorial, all the steps are there and we can help. both methods work ive tried em. U would need to root your phone regardless of what way u choose to do it so u got alot to read on lol.

[Sprint LG G3] CriticalComposer:
I have a couple of questions about this. My carrier Freedompop (a Sprint MVNO) just released Global GSM SIM cards as they are no longer just a US MVNO. Would unlocking my SIM allow me to use this card? Does it still have the ability to connect to a 4G tower and get 4G speeds? And would Fulmics actually work now since I'm technically now on a Global carrier and not Sprint?

-xloud is missing, clearaudio+ has no effect on or off

-miracast is still broken pass android 4.2. Tried my MS wireless display, Keep saying HDCP no supported

-some of the motion sensing and eye tracking features from Z2 and Z3 are not in it, guess we will never get them.

-real time iso cause camera to be super laggy.

-keyboard doesn't seems to recognize the enter key, suggested word stuck on top and paste text on next time I type.

New features

-Ultra stamina mode is in

⚫WiFi icon bigger that other icons in statusbar

⚫When using GravityBox LP recents button icon becomes smaller. Using Softkeyz to swap navbar icon solves this.
