After updating to ZV9. Better to perform Factory Reset with HiddenMenuCall. This cleans all Sprint trash apps. And you unlock virgin phone.

I have two phones. Cleaned one last a bit longer on single charge

Thanks so much for this! Phone is unlocked! Still no data though :/ Added the APN under LTE but it does not apply sadly.

---------- Post added at 12:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 AM ----------

yes

UPDATE, Got data working, Needed to add default under APN type and change authentication type to none

Now I guess I'll move this line over to AT&T or T-Mobile now :)

Any idea on getting LTE working on AT&T? Or is it not compatible? Can anyone chime in on T-Mobile if they get LTE?

Ls992 sim freedom!!!

Allegedly my phone a LS992 zv9 (Nougat) is officially unlocked by Sprint and has been active for 2 days on their network. However, when I put a different sim card in to test the unlock it just says no sim card/ no service (tried a nano T-mo, freedompop and a cut micro att)

if I pop out the sprint sim while it is on and insert a new sim it says

"sim card added"

"phone will restart to use mobile network"

... (so clearly it detects a new sim)

of course after it restarts... it again just says no sim no service.

After updating to Nougat (ZV9) I tried factory reset by the Android setting but had the sprint sim card in... basically ended up with the same problems and most of the bloatware.

So I used hiddenmenucall APP to do an R&D factory reset

let the phone restart with a freedompop sim in it and I believe skipped the configuration by pressing vol up/down at the same time (this is where where sprint usually tries to activate/download bloatware and mess with the settings before you can)

finally the sim was detected but said invalid

then used hiddenmenucall...

to set network to lab mode with sim out

restart

insert sim (phone automatcally restarts again)

set network to auto and rat to auto

and finally set the APN (freedompop.foggmobile.com , default , PAP or CHAP)

then I tried the tmobil nano,

used hiddenmenucall to setup fast.t-mobile.com apn (sim is not active so I could not test speed)

got 3g only at first but found in

iot(CDG2)>LTE>LTE Roaming -- enabled all the bands and got LTE connection finally (my freedompop service is GLOBAL GSM so I will never get LTE with them I think)

Finally put my sprint sim back in and after an auto-restart all works fine... no bloatware sim unlocked ls992 ZV9!!! yay

Thanks all for your inputs... I'll post this in the slickdeals LG G5 wiki for easier access and future reference and with screenshots (slickdeals lg g5 deal March 2017)

oh and for those asking... check page 22 of this thread for the hiddenmenucall apk

**and a final disclaimer... there are probably many setting in hiddenmenucall that can mess up your phone so be prudent**

***and last but not least... megatanks to whoever made hiddenmenucall !***
[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] HOLZ3R:
It restarted without SIM when i selected 'Lab Mode' ...Inserted MetroPCS sim, Added MetroPCS APN settings, Enabled all bands in LTE Roaming tab. Has signal bars however NO connectivity whatsoever. No SMS, Call, MMS, or data. What am I doing wrong? LS992ZV9 trying to get MetroPCS to work. Thanks in advance.
[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] wildantics:
try

modem protocol>network mode>auto

modem protocol>network mode>rat selection>auto

also, i found that if you ever put a Sprint card back in... you will be able to get data but if you want SMS, it requires

settings>system updates>update profile ... BUT DON"T DO IT

this will restart the phone and install all of the sprint bloatware and settings... and in the process revert back to the NO SIM CARD / NO DATA error if you try to swap a non-Sprint sim back in. - (I will now be cancelling Sprint, basically can't use that network unless they control my phone. k'thanskbye)

Not sure how detailed you got in APN settings but after Sprint bloated and nerfed my phone, I reset again... and was getting no data until i updated the

APN type to default

So try a few of the more detailed APN settings would be my suggestion

would love help with unlocking . i even have an unlock code from sprint

---------- Post added at 09:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 PM ----------

sorry absolute noob here. how do i find apn parameters?

tried to do the hidden menu thing but the phone has the crossed out sim card icon and zero service
[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] hyelton:
?? Sprint doesn't provide unlock codes as there's none to give out. They may have given you your SPC code which has nothing to do with unlocking.

Sounds like you didn't follow all the directions. As even without an apk you would still get service. You did change it to lab mode correct? And do GSM/WCDMA/auto
[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] femieok:
thanks for the response .

so Sprint gave me a 6 digit code as i had paid off the device but they said there were no instructions to take it to my new carrier.

i followed the instructions on page 22, the only thing i haven't done are the APNs which i'm not sure how to do.

When i put it in lab mode the phone rebooted itself as it is supposed to but with ta tmobile sim it has the no service and the xsim symbol on top.

not sure what i could be doing wrong but any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] hyelton:
That 6 digit code is the phones MSL. Which is in no way helpful for unlocking the device.

Now first worry about getting service then worry about APN. APN is for data and won't fix your current issue.

Did you make sure to set your network mode to GSM/WCDMA? Also did you enable all the bands under the operation mode setting? If it's still saying no sim then it sounds like a sim card issue.
[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] femieok:
this is what i did with the phone:

￼without sim card inserted

Call hidden menu apk

Go to IOT(CDG2) option

￼

Then select LTE setting

￼

Then select operation mode

￼

Then select Lab Network option

The phone will reboot

Insert Sim card.

i set it to gsm/wcdma/auto in the hiddencall menu apk as some one had suggested.

Should i reset my phone to factory defaults and start again?
[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] hyelton:
I made the changes with my sim inserted. Have another sim to try? Also it's not a MetroPCS sim is it? Which is part of T-Mobile. MetroPCS sims you have to call them to change phones. If you followed all the steps and it says no sim or invalid sim something is up with the sim slot or your SIM card.

You are running android 7.0 right?
[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] femieok:
thanks again.

are you saying i should make the changes with the original sprint sim? or with the t mo sim?

im using a tmobile sim.

just tried again.

still zero signal and crossed out sim signal. i have an h2o sim i can try but /

when i insert the t mo sim into my old phone it seems to work fine...

---------- Post added at 04:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 PM ----------

yes i'm running nougat.

it recognises the sprint sim no problem but not the t mo. and since that t mo works in my moto g no issues, i must be doing something wrong somewhere....
[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] hyelton:
Wait so it's detecting the sim but you just don't have service now?

Was just making sure it wasn't a T-Mobile reseller like MetroPCS.

And you enabled the bands below on the same page as the operation mode?

Also make sure it's set to GSM/WCDMA/LTE since T-Mobile has some areas without 3G and only have LTE.
[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] femieok:
no it detects the sim from Sprint, but not tmobile on the g5

the t mobile sim works on my old phone so it doesn't appear to be a sim issue,

yeah i understand it wasn't a tmo reseller.

i enabled all the bands in the settings
[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] hyelton:
Might want to try a factory reset then.
[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] femieok:
will do thanks .
[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] hyelton:

[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] femieok:

:)
[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] wildantics:
with hiddenmenucall app

R&D reset

with no sim in... skip configuration

then set phone to lab (again no sim)... it will reboot

... let it boot... insert sim... let it reboot

modem and Rat to auto

enable lte bands

set APN (make sure apn type is set probably... default,mms,supl) _ see my other posts for more info...

and if you ever want to use sprint SMS insert sprint sim and in settings > update > profile... take out sim when it resets!!! or all the sprint bloatware will be back. This bloatware, even if your phone is unlocked... will somehow break the ability to use other sims. I have never been able to get a non-sprint sim to work if the sprint junk is installed.

Did anyone had SIM Card Read error? I had an issue after started using the 128GB SD Card. It worked the first time but then after a restart it complained about no sim card...I trid multiple times to reinsert the card but no luck. I had to hard reset and start all over again. It now is back to normal. Not sure what was the problem.
[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] hyelton:
I would of said try another SIM card, but you've already resolved it. Did you perform an ota update by any chance?
[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] PhantasmRezound:
Chance the SIM could be physically making poor contact inside the SIM card tray if it says "No SIM". This could happen if the tray is bent, the SIM card is not seated correctly, or the SIM card is misshapen. Also can be caused by a loose chassis screw - the external one visible nearest the tray when you power down and remove the phone chin. I tried to loosen mine to fix a bit of backlight bleeding and got "No SIM" error; had to tighten back up a bit at a time, reassembling and rebooting until the SIM was detected. (Tightening reintroduced some backlight bleeding but it is better than before.)

Keep in mind to check these things too if you or someone else has this issue again.
[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] rajbsn:
Thanks! I tried couple of things but no go. Since it's still under warranty sent it to LG for repair.
[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] dtx.boy:
I don't think it has to do witn the sim holder being damaged, if you take the simcard out or if you try another simcard it will say that theres no simcard detected so you're gonna have to factory reset r&d only with hiddenmenu and start all over again.

lg g5 ls992 ' No sim card' ,can I get the solution?????

my phone lg g5 ls992 had the same problem showing ' No sim card' and after I had tried the ' Hidden call menu ' app , it was successfull only for first time and while after I rebooted my phone , the same problem continues to me, tried factory reset and hidden call menu , but can't get it and now after removing the sim , it shows the network signal.......

Can i get solution for this..................
[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] PhantasmRezound:
Check to make sure it isn't a physical contact issue. First make sure SIM card is seated properly in the tray. Give a moderate squeeze to the chassis to see if frame tabs have popped loose. I had this problem during my unlock process because I was troubleshooting backlight bleed in bottom right corner - I had backed out my screw for the display panel. This led to "no SIM card" error. I had to tighten the screw back just a hair - little backlight bleed but SIM shows fine now.

If you don't feel like tampering with it physically or issue persists, could try to swap out the SIM tray at a local carrier store, see if a new one fits better.
