[LG G Flex 2] jmar896:
Today I went to unlock my Sprint LG G Flex 2 after paying it off. Sprint gave me a code (In a form of ##xxxxxx#) to put in via the dialer, but it did not unlock the phone. They are telling me to go to a 3rd party company to unlock it, but I am wondering what you guys think. I know there is quite a few software loopholes that some people have used on the G3 to unlock it, and I am wondering if any exist with the G Flex 2. Heres whats going on

With a Sprint sim the phone stays on Sprint and works no problem

With a Verizon sim it will use the Verizon voice network but it does not get data

With an ATT Sim it goes between "Service Disabled" and 4 bars, but will not make a call or send a text.

With a MetroPCS sim it will not call, text, and stays at service disabled

With a PTel sim it stays at service disabled

From what it looks like to me the phone is not GSM unlocked. Is there any way I can unlock it for GSM use. I know some bands wont be picked up, but I would like to use it on ATT 3G when im out in the countryside where Sprint doesn't have service. From what I know of since the Feb. 11 revision of laws for unlocking devices if the device is in good standing and paid off/contract expired the carrier is supposed to unlock it, but there method is not working for GSM use. I am wondering if anyone knows a way to get there code to work or a software loophole to unlock the SIM slot for GSM use. I am guessing that the phone is receiving att and Metro service because the split second before it goes to service disabled it gets 4 bars and the phone recognizes my phone number. My ATT and Metro APN settings are programmed in already in the roaming area, but there is not an APN settings input in the mobile networks category.

If anyone knows how and if this phone can be unlocked to work with GSM service it would be a great help.

Thanks

Jake

Also, when I use the the Available GSM networks feature under "Roaming>Avalable GSM networks" it always comes up wit "Error searching for networks"

The phone is rooted, could I use unlocking methods from the G3? How much of a risk would I be taking by using methods sourced from another LG phone? To expand upon that I would attempt using methods proven with the g3 or original g flex to try and get it to start running on gsm, I did submit a domestic and international unlock to sprint but all they gave me was a useless MSL code. I need to get this working on at&t or I will have to sell this wonderful phone.
[LG G Flex 2] uh60james:
As far as I know they will only unlock it for a Sprint customer who has the line active for 90 days. Unless something is different on the Flex 2 there is no code to enter, I unlocked my HTC One M8 before swapping to the Flex 2 and everything was done on there end. Additionally they state the unlock is only for international use and will not unlock the phone for US carriers although I cant verify if that is true as I don't have a US SIM card to try.
[LG G Flex 2] jmar896:
The phone is fully paid off, it was used for less than a month. In the USA there is a law that was passed on February 11th 2015 stating that all carriers must be able to unlock there phones for domestic service (DSU) as far as I know sprint does not seem to follow that, and makes it dang hard to do anything. I was able to get texts working, and data, but I cannot call or receive mms, anyone have any ideas on why that might be. I would like to try and get both working, and I will put in the work for going into the root and trying to get the bands unlocked for AT&T, if anyone can confirm that it is not a gigantic threat to the phone by attempting it, I would make a backup before, but my last experience with a Verizon S3 + Easy unlocker bricked my phone, and although I got it recovered it was no fun.
[LG G Flex 2] carto-man:
Rooted...

You stated that the phone is rooted, was the phone rooted when you attempted the unlock? If so, I would suggest restoring the phone to fully stock via the files supplied by Malxce and method described in cairui505's thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/g-flex2/help/ls996-tot-t3094660

I have used it and it works great. After that I would attempt the unlock as Sprint suggested and follow any further problems with Sprint tier 2 technical support. I'm sorry, I don't have the number handy but I'm sure Google will assist. Tier 2 support has a great deal more knowledge and capability than the store or tier 1 personnel. You are correct that they are required by law to unlock the phone at the users request but they will not make it easy and unlocking the phone doesn't change it's hardware capabilities. I'm just not sure if there is an underlying and limiting hardware difference between the carriers versions that would prevent proper activation on another carrier. The law requires that they unlock the unit, not include the hardware to port to other networks.
[LG G Flex 2] copperw:
How would the phone being rooted stop it from being unlocked? I ask because I bought a used phone from ebay that's already internationally unlocked, I've been given the msl code multiple times by tech support, and as I've just discovered it's been rooted.
[Wing, P4350 General] schumy:
Hi! Today, a friend has given me that smartphone with a "litlle" problem. When I try to run it, it doesn't pass of the HTC logo. I tried all, softreset, hardware reset, etc... One thing, that I think is "curious" is that when I try to start it in Bootloader mode, it only show IPL and SPL, but not GSM and OS. If I connect it to the USB, in the computer all the time appears and dissapears the connection icon saying that a "error was produced".

What can I do?

Regards and thanks
[Wing, P4350 General] The Dutchman:
Someone GAVE you that smartphone probably because it is bricked. this means you CANNOT use it, the only chances that you have:

-Unbrick with an original ROM that was installed on that phone*

-Send it to HTC Repair centre

Try these RUU's out:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=286873&page=3

If this does not work, well.. you'll have to pay big time;)
[Wing, P4350 General] schumy:
Hi!

If "bricked" means "barried"(sorry I'm not english, I'm from Spain), I can say that is not barried, cause I saw other times that phone in the hands of my friend running perfect and I was present when he bought it, so I know for sure that is not barried.

Where is the original rom? Is a backup?

If I can do it.. I will send it to the repair center.

Regards
[Wing, P4350 General] papamopps:
bricked means = a ROM with errors installed. SO you have to install a new rom.

Put the phon ein bootloader mod - connect it and try to install one of the listed ROms from the dutchman.

Su herald is muerto hast tu probares de poner und rom official. Eso es "bricked" - y si no functiona con una rom official - porque no conectionar con tu PC -- tu tienes que poner a service.

Perdona.
[Wing, P4350 General] schumy:
Oh, thanks! Thanks for the translation. I've tried to put it in bootloader mode but all the time the computer is advertising of connection and disconnection, and that, all the time.

I'm trying more options

Thanks

In bootloader:

If I don't put the SD card, windows doesn't detect the PDA, but If I put it, Windows "detect" something, and at the same time disappear.
[Wing, P4350 General] papamopps:
1. bootloader

2. connect

Then in the left down corner should appear "USB" on the green - red - blue screen on herald.
[Wing, P4350 General] schumy:
Yes, it appears like my photo, but.. nothing more hapens
[Wing, P4350 General] schumy:
I can't do nothing yet.. I'm trying all what I see on the forum.. but nothing is runs in my PDA. Someone has an idea?
[Wing, P4350 General] mgc123uk:
I get the same as the photo, nothing appears to work. Does anyone have any ideas
[Wing, P4350 General] The Dutchman:
Run an RUU for the Herald!
[Wing, P4350 General] schumy:
That is not possible. The PC can't detect the PDA correctly.
[Wing, P4350 General] The Dutchman:
Have you tried??
[Wing, P4350 General] schumy:
Yes, I tried it so many times, and all the time the PC is showing that "something" has been connected, and 1s after, something has been disconnected, and the software of update shows that nothing was detected.
[Wing, P4350 General] mafioso617:
how do you enter bootloader mode please explain with details thnxx...
[Wing, P4350 General] xmenreturn:
Just enter the bootloader and restart PC until it detect your PPC by ActiveSync. It is PC's, not PPC's issue.
[Wing, P4350 General] georgex:
I have the same problem.

It started with the device being slow doing things. I thought some application behaved badly. I soft-reset the phone once and everything was ok until a few hours later, when it started doing the same, a while after that, I find it being reset and stack in the HTC startup screen.

I go into bootloader mode where I see the same screen posted above. Connecting the usb cable, it shows "USB" at the bottom, but then the device is not recognized by the -official- update utility.

My phone is only two weeks old! I have to wait a week before I take it to HTC service, since I'm on vacation.

It seems like a hardware problem.
[Wing, P4350 General] xavier6303:
I think you should run an official RUU and that should clear things up. Your pc may or may not recognize the herald but run the RUU anyways. Keep running through the steps for the RUU as if you knew that windows recognized the phone. It should work.
[Wing, P4350 General] georgex:
I already said: "but then the device is not recognized by the -official- update utility". The RUU does not find the device.

I have done some more reading... maybe I should put the .nbh files on the SD, it's trying to read from there when entering the bootloader.

What I would like to know, if other people had experience with this: Is it a hardware problem, so sent it back to service and not waste any more time, or try to fix it by flashing it? How was this problem caused in the first place? Am I going to run into this problem again in the future?
[Wing, P4350 General] newos:
hi i think i got an solution to your problem pres connection manager buton and camera in the same time and the soft reste butn whit the still , that will send you to bootloader menu so you can put and good rom hop it helps

[Android Auto General] mikereidis:
EDIT: Updating the AA app manually did the trick. :)

AA was working for me yesterday.

Now it shows an error due to enforcing of the country whitelist that I guess does not include my Canada.

Not sure where yet or how to bypass. AA app is the same, and Google Play Services is a few weeks old.

Previously log said "Country is not whitelisted: " + ph.c() + " but gearhead.apk is installed, so we continue"

Maybe it activated by date ? Maybe it's an online switch ? AA won't start on devices that I've now turned GPS and WiFi off.

There are other whitelists and blacklists in the AA app that may be activated in future: mobile device, head unit/car.

Headunit (or my headunit app) does not currently seem to validate headunit certificate(s) but there is code for that & I wonder if that may be enabled also.
[Android Auto General] mikereidis:
EDIT: Updating the AA app manually did the trick. :)

There is an AA startup phase where you are prompted to install or update the needed apps: Music, Maps, whatever...

I've gone through this several times; not sure why it doesn't always stick.

At this point I get a popup dialog saying "This item isn't available in your country."

Which is exactly what we get trying to download apps not enabled for our country.

I created a new account claiming to be in the US, but that didn't help; probably Google's IP detection knows I wasn't in the US.

Hmm, maybe if I manually update the needed apps as well as the AA app ?; I'm still using the original AA app.
[Android Auto General] fraessp:
So manually updating the AA app worked and you can now continue using AA?

(Sorry if I did not post this right. Its my first time on xda.)
[Android Auto General] mikereidis:
That is correct.

This will be an ongoing problem for those of us outside approved countries, and it could get worse.

Once it detects that there is an update, it refuses to run before the update is done, and outside the US the AA app can't normally be auto-updated by Play.

And most of us want the features we need to be logged into Google for, so disabling update detection is not entirely feasible.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xetaray:
I'm looking forward to the G4 a lot, so I've been trying to see as much about it as I can, and it seems like sometimes it has a very strong green tint to the screen.

https://youtu.be/62uub0cHGEM?t=545

9:45 - Look at the white background behind her on each phone.

https://youtu.be/vOgGg5hX4Qo

0:00 - Look at the color of the google search bar on the G4 and the S6 (not the M9 because it's not trying to be white).

https://youtu.be/AADWxIXdimY?t=17

0:17 - This one doesn't appear to have the green tint, but it is phonearena and the video is low quality, plus their review said it had a very cold colored display, which would fit with the green tint.

https://youtu.be/ulc6Ha9GqH0?t=115

1:55 - Again the google search bar on the G4, and the white parts of certain app icons on the iPhone. This one also doesn't seem to have the green tint.

https://youtu.be/c2Znb6i07xg?t=112

1:52 - Also missing the green tint, and I think I've noticed that when the lights are brighter, the green tint isn't there.

https://youtu.be/arMxaPbO4rc?t=26

0:26 - Missing again.

I'm not sure what to believe. Could these be issues with certain versions LG (or T-Mobile) have been sending out to people? Are these just a couple lemons? Could something else be to blame?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MicroMod777:
G3 had yellow tint, hope this is NOT true!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jose_Paramore:
Yellow tint? Compared to a Moto G 2014, my G3 has a blueish tint on the screen. I just think that LG G3's screen has quite a precise white balance level.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoff5093:
I agree, I find the G3 to have correct white balance. The issue is the screen is really dull, very low saturation and contrast, and the annoying oversharpening problem.

First let me say the phone operates fine..........I can get into TWRP, boot CM11 (24a).....use the phone & everyhthing is dandy......until I want to now install XDABBEB's vs980 rom (28A) and there is no download mode to use the KDZ/TOT method to return to stock...now im lost

There is apparently no download mode upon PWR+VOL UP + USB, only fastboot

[IMG="fastboot?"]https://i.imgur.com/2zPeEST.jpg[/IMG]

I seem to be coming to the conclusion to restore download mode I have to flash an LAF to replace the missing partition?

Can I simply flash the LAF using this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2477595

with the LAF included in this 24a bootstack zip here? http://xdaforums.com/verizon-g2/development/vs980-resources-bootstacks-unofficial-t3050777 or am I missing another set of steps?

*****EDIT*****: For anyone wondering, I did a dirty method....this was CM11(24a) TWRP 2.7x,

I just installed autorec to get back download mode......installed the WHQL verizon drivers, did a KDZ to 24a, then did a manual IOROOT to jailbreak / Autorec to TWRP....then went into TWRP installed XDABBEB's 28a bootstack, then flashed his VS982.5 1.2x..........boots and loads fine

Hey all,

I know a lot of people have the same issue when connecting to a projector or receiver that they get a resolution between 480p and 720p because of the edid.... is there a way to fix this i mean is 2015 all of my products work just fine on 1080p with my projector except the NP thats a bummer. Is google gonna fix this? Or does anyone found a solution?

Thnx!
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m6682:
No fix so far. I'm having the exact same issue with the same projector. The 5.1 update atleast fixed the HDCP problem so we atleast dont get a black screen with audio for Google Play Movies/Netflix etc.. But still low resolution. Some people have done a temporary fix using a Google TV device that has HDMI passthrough. Also are you sure you are getting 720p? The GT750's native resolution is 720p. Meaning its 1280x720. My projector displays 720x480 from the Nexus Player.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A85K:
Ahh ok is too bad is 2015 by all means i mean come on is such a small issue will just have 2 wait and see..... And your right my mistake projector displays 720x480 hopefully they fix it soon or just have to wait till i get a xbox one will fix the problem as well but still they have to give a update and fix it soon product is almost a 1 year old never had such a problem before with any product and then comes the NP.

Thnx!
