Dear all, I've LG G FLEX 2 LS996 (Android 5.1.1 ZV6).

---

I did these steps:

7) Install Shortcut master and open it.

8) Press "menu" and press "search" , in search field enter

Code: itsonsetting

and press "search", after search press on one result "Service Programu" and

press "launch", in new window press "ItsOn" and change on "Disable" after that

your smartphone do reboot.

Disable Handsfree Activate without delete apps:

Open Shortcut master press "menu" and press "search" , in search field enter

Code: iot.ltesetting

and press "search", after search press on the first result "Service Programu" and

press "launch", in new window press "Operation Mode" and change on "Lab Network" after that

your smartphone do reboot.

---

Hidden Menu of Wi-Fi Hotspot (Bluetooth Tethering, USB Tethering) appeared and all settings worked.

BUT I did Factory Data Reset and now at step "Configuring your phone..." it stops and not going further. (At this step "Hands free activation" pop-up should appear).

I think the reason is disabled "Handsfree Activate" - iot.ltesetting.

How can I fix it? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

---------- Post added at 07:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:41 AM ----------

I found the solution. I called from other phone and received call. At Incoming call pop-up rejected call with sms... after some manipulations finally got to Play Store. Downloaded Shortcut master and disabled Lab Mode on iot.ltesetting. :)

ZV9 is marshmallow 6.0??

Really??
[Sprint LG G4] KenChu84:
Thanks, I'll try, but mine is a little bit different, it wasn't stop at blue screen, it was stucked at LG Logo but I'll try it! I have nothing to lose right?!

Yes?! Is something wrong here?
[Sprint LG G4] abhishek.banerjee:
Nope. Thanks for confirming
[Sprint LG G4] mayrer:
Please read carefully the title of the topic: "Upgrade to marshmallow, dowgrade to ZV6, and Fix Status 2"

And do not forget facroty reset after flash zv6.

Steps to downgrade

1. First download and install LG UP from the thread BOTH MSI files.

2. Now put your phone into download mode via holding down the volume + and plugging it in to the usb.

3. Fire up LG UP and at first it may say UNKNOWN on the window so what you wanna do is disconnect and reconnect wait a few seconds and it should work.

4. Now it should say LS991 and select it and click ok

5. Now on the window select your ZV6 TOT FILE and select UPGRADE

6. On the bottom of the window there should be three dots click on them and find your tot file.

7. Click start.

8. After that your phone should start progressing

9, Should restart and work.

10. If it dosent make sure you factory reset!! (Hold down volume down and the power button and power then go the factory reset and wipe it)

Have you got the phone working on CDMA or GSM in India?
[Sprint LG G4] mayrer:
Yes.
[Sprint LG G4] KenChu84:
Hi there,

Thank you for your instruction and happy new year.

I tried to do it as your guide and it worked, how ever, when it can booted inside the system and showed me option to chosse language, wifi then it stuck at Configuring Phone screen for good ( It's not a status 2)

And I tried to flash other build from stock ZV9 or custom build ZV6 but it still stuck at the same screen everytime even when i wiped everything before and after I flashed the roms

Is there any way i can fix it? Thank again for being patient with me :good:
[Sprint LG G4] chetveriks:
"Configuring Phone stuck issue" was described I think.

1. Vol_up +vol_down

2...or...make incoming call

3. I passed it inserting activated SIM card

What does unlocking the sim actually do. like I have 10gb to use on my phone does that give me a way to use more then 10gb of lte or what? If not is there anyway to truly get unlimited lte? what's the benefits of unlocking the sim?
[Sprint LG G4] mayrer:
Using any gsm operator.

On zv9 not unlock without root, but if you do unlock on zv6, unroot and update to zv9 from ota gsm will work.

Hi. I'm a newbie who got a used phone from ebay locked to Sprint. If I ask something ridiculous, please excuse me.

I'm trying to use this phone through Ringplus, Sprint MVNO. If I follow this guide, will I be able to do it? When I check MEID, it comes out clean except financial check, and Sprint says I can use it on their network.

Thank you.
[Sprint LG G4] mayrer:
Yes.

I not understand this question.

Thanks for the thread.

I had my phone unlocked with manual method before, now updated with ultra pop 1.51 and factory reset, now my phone is locked again.

Tried the auto method now, adb commands working, get supersu notifications but phone says invalid sim after reboots.

Still invalid sim after multiple attempts.

Any tips.
[Sprint LG G4] mayrer:
Auto method uses the same files as the manual method, simply the script does everything.

If the script is done gsm should work. :confused:

Try to do everything manually.

Unlocked and everything worked but have one problem. I can't seem to figure out why I can't receive calls. I can make calls, send both SMS and MMS and have 3g but when someone calls me it rings and rings and goes to voicemail on their side but I don't even get one ring on my phone. I'm on ATT network, VZ6, rooted and have no idea what is causing my problem. Please help
[Sprint LG G4] mayrer:
disable itson.
[Sprint LG G4] mayrer:
Unlock working. I do not know why this do not work on your device :confused:
[Sprint LG G4] Silenus21:
I know it worked before when I did it manually. Now after updating to ultrapop 1.51 and factory reseting, it lost the unlock and now it doesn't unlock even manually.
[Sprint LG G4] Silenus21:
Update.

Managed to unlock my phone by flashing the International ROM.
[Sprint LG G4] joeminati:
Works so smoothly for the international rom. Functions like a GSM rom. If only the GSM was baked in with the HiPref rom ?

[Sprint LG G4] supreme83:
I was reading the thread and didnt know if you ever got a clear answer. Unlocking the sim card allows the phone to be used on a different network( with a SIM card) like AT&T/Cricket or TMobile/MetroPCS, etc. It's for people who want to leave their old companies and take their phone to a new network
[Sprint LG G4] mbeau88:
So I followed all the instructions (downgrade from zv9, rooted zv6, ran unlock tools (both versions, 1 and 2) and successfully got the Access Point Names window to open. However, it's just a black screen (see screenshot).

The guide says to hit menu and enter the APN settings, but I have no menu button. Any ideas?

[IMG="black screen"]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5082685/Screenshot_2016-02-05-13-22-38.png[/IMG]

Edit: I messed around with the tools and got to the stock APN settings menu... I added the Verizon APN settings and it worked! However it was only 3G data & SMS.

I switched it from Global to LTE/CDMA to see if that helped, but when I did that it went back to "invalid sim."

Now when I add an APN in the stock menu and save it, it doesn't appear. I've tried doing the whole process over twice (wipe/reset, push stock zv6, push rooted zv6, re-do unlock tools etc.

It works... all the toast messages show up, I can get to the APN menu, but none of my changes save, and it keeps saying invalid APN regardless of what I do. (I did use the v2 tools, same effect.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Sprint LG G4] mayrer:
Press and hold button resent app... and you will see the menu.

I did not set it up in the Verizon network, I have nothing to help.
[Sprint LG G4] mbeau88:
Thank you! I finally found the hidden menu lol, but sadly it's the same effect as the stock APN menu. It'll let me add an APN, but regardless of the settings I use, once I save it, nothing happens. The screen is still black as if I didn't add anything. I must be missing a step somewhere but I'm not sure which one.
[Sprint LG G4] mayrer:
This menu works completely. If apn is not saved, it means that something is not entered correctly.
[Sprint LG G4] Behkho:
I keep getting 'financial eligibility date' fail when I check MEID on Ringplus. Was someone, who used to get that fail, able to unlock and clear that check?

I tried Swappa, and I get 'no results' for ESN. I think I was getting something different from there before messing with the phone...
[Sprint LG G4] lordnihilusmd:
I have a weird issue on my device, data is not working, already tested 2 different sim cards.

Update: Data is not working only on Android Marshmallow (ZV9), on ZV6 everything is fine.
[Sprint LG G4] luilly1418:
I'm having the same problem, any solution?
[Sprint LG G4] lordnihilusmd:
I've solved this problem by upgrading to the latest firmware, the unlock is permanent and i didn't lose it.

It's a issue on ZV9 that is affecting some devices, on ZVA everything is fine, you will get the data working.

[Sprint LG G4] SD2014:
You wrote something similar to me when this method didn't work for me initially (before you put in the apn settings). I mean no disrespect to you since you obviously have done a lot for me and others here. I'm only saying that you should consider that there might be some holes in your method that don't allow it to be "fully working" for everyone. But I still thank you for your contribution!

I personally checked the work of this script more than 50 times , and it worked every time. You did not do anything with your smartphone before? If you can restore your smartphone to stock(with tot firmware) and try again.
[Sprint LG G4] cbr150r:
This guide does not work with my LS991 and I don't know why :confused:

Here is my situation:

I got my unlocked LS991 from a retailer. It was ZV6, rooted, working fine.

Then I use LGUP to flash ZV9 TOT. After booting, my LS991 is locked. I can only use it as a wifi-only android device, no phone/mobile data function. After ZVA available, I update my phone without any problem (still a wifi-only android device)

Then I flashed it back to ZV6 TOT. Phone is still locked, of course.

Then I tried this guide, 3 times, still no success. Eachtime I tried, I had to delete Cache Partition and Wipe everything, LGUPed the ZV6 TOT, of course.

As of now, my phone is rooted (using this guide), but it does not recognize the sim.

I have a question that your guide basically pull out the "itson" setting to change it to "disabled". But I see that mine was disabled by default. How about your devices?

I also tried "enabled", then "disabled" again, but no successful :(
[Sprint LG G4] iskidoo:
So I used the manual entry to add the node.db and journal files and am able to recognize other sims. I get calling, 3G data and basic texting. Anyone know what I need to do to get MMS working.

[Sprint LG G4] TheMadScientist:
after much trial and error I conclude I had to also change the build propn ro.carrier to open and had to change the subscription type from nvruim to sim never had to go through any other settings to do apn after that I'm on net 10 att.

I understand you say this is gaarantied but it did not work on mine. withouth the extra modifactions I could not achieve 4 g speeds 3 g only until I done this

I have learned over time that 2 phones sames carrier same firmeware are not the same just cause it works for u don't mean it will for me

also after changing to open I got a lot more selections in mobile network and it unlocks the apn menu to insert any apn in it so u shouldn't have to use any other options in the tools other than the first unlock also uponreboot u may have to goto mobile networks and select gsm umts manually then reboot may help invalid sim I noticed that if I switch back to cdma invalid sim comes back up

also for some reason if u use v2 that one give me the invalid sim icon had to use v1 1st time I used it had to use v2 upon editing build prob with rom toolbox to open carrier I could change my radio type to gsm/cdma/lta//auto only then did I get 4g speeds if this helps n e one else out

Thanks man! Good to know:good:
[Nexus 6P General] WoodroweBones:
Hmmm I'm assuming thats a typo but its a very important one...
[Nexus 6P General] adamd1169:
Yeah I saw that, too.
[Nexus 6P General] Won't be druv:
It seems to directly contradict what was said before.
[Nexus 6P General] frigidazzi:
So unroot and flash stock before sending it on for warranty? Seems simple enough. I always do that anyways.
[Nexus 6P General] heleos:
That's how I read it too. By going back to stock, your system is no longer rooted or modified
[Nexus 6P General] verusevo:
I don't think it does. They originally stated it's ok to unlock your bootloader and root the phone. Both of which can still be done while in operation of the stock ROM. But if you decide to flash a different ROM that isn't the stock OS and I'm assuming for some reason aren't able to flash back to stock then they won't help you because the warranty didn't cover user fault while running a version of Android that isn't stock.
[Nexus 6P General] tonystarks260:
I never understood the whole thing in the first place. If factory images are published and customer support is going to ask you to flash them for troubleshooting, it makes no sense for a bootloader unlock to void the warranty.

Either way though thats good news :good:
[Nexus 6P General] Stephen:
That is exactly the response I got when I contacted them, so I am happy with that. I did ask their technical support if rooting the phone would break fingerprint support, they didnt know.

Certainly on my One Plus Two I can be fully rooted and still use fingerprint scanner. There was issues on some AOSP CM based roms, as the blobs for the fingerprint scanner were not available, but on factory images it was fine.
[Nexus 6P General] chaco81:
like is being said before, a factory images restores your device to out of the box state...

but part of the factory image reflash process requires to unlock the bootloader in order for it to work. i mean, its part of the flash-all.bat!!!!

so unlocking the actual bootloader cant void the warranty.
[Nexus 6P General] Trueglich:
It would be very un-google of them to break anything that chould't be fixed by reloading factory image and re-locking.
[Nexus 6P General] kboya:
The only worrying thing about rooting and fingerprint support is that of breaking Android Pay, one of the things I've been looking forward to since the Nexus S!
[Nexus 6P General] bobby janow:
I think we can forget about AP working if you root. Fingerprint unlock should be fine but it won't matter if it's AP you want. I think the only way you'll be able to get root and Pay working is if multirom comes to the device and you can flash M as a secondary rom unrooted like I have now on the N5. Kind of a pain to reboot to a stock M and then reboot into my rooted rom but it works and only takes about a minute.
[Nexus 6P General] kboya:
You're probably right. Certainly this post (http://www.xda-developers.com/googl...-with-root-and-android-pay-in-the-xda-forums/ )suggests we should give up on Android Pay with root. Then again, and I dont know this site or its veracity, but this looks promising: http://android.wonderhowto.com/how-to/get-android-pay-working-rooted-device-0164604/

We shall see, although Android Pay in the UK may still be some way off.
[Nexus 6P General] bobby janow:
Those methods don't work. At least not reliably. I'm not sure what the triggers are but I have an unlocked bootloader and I have AP working on a non rooted stock M build, so it's not the bootloader. Every other rooted build would not let me use AP whether or not it was the internal/primary rom or a secondary.

Now I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. With all the cc problems and vulnerabilities rooted roms can bring to a device for the uninitiated, in order to secure the payment process I do believe unrooted is the only way to go.
[Nexus 6P General] Cheater912:
Is there a case where you'd have to flash the stock images on a phone that has never been unlocked? The partitions couldn't have been modified anyway. A factory reset should be enough to return to stock.
