how do you get the phone keypad t9 input to work in text messages for the lg stock android keyboard ?

also, how do you get in stock firmware the option to format and partition sd card for internal storage (adoptable storage) like other android phones?
[Android General] goitalone:
Idk what you mean about t9 (I use SwiftKey keyboard) but here are instructions for adoptable storage on LG:

https://www.google.com/amp/www.inst...able-Storage-Android-M-No-Root/?amp_page=true
[Android General] MrOats:
Get keyboard opened, tap (do not hold) the settings gear cog in the bottom left, click on the submenu second from the top (should say "QWERTY keyboard), and choose "Phone keyboard". go back to where you can type again, hit the T9 button so the light is off on it. Should work just like a classic phone now.
[Android General] GAWVI:
So, is there possibility for a root to be available soon? I am so ready for Xposed and Viper on this phone!
[Android General] :
Yes, the sooner you make it available, the sooner we'll all have Xposed and Viper.

i just got my x power unlocked on ebay.

a metro pcs sim does not work but a att sim card works but no mobile data at all. do i need to install att apn settings, how?

i know some people got metro pcs sim in their x power i need this. but seller said metro pcs is not compatible with sprint phones?

also how do you enable in call settings to show or hide your caller id on permanent basis?

how do input apn settings? editing is not avaiable.

it says :Acess Points Names

ota

otasn

with no options to add or edit, i need an APN UNLOCK. any fix?
[Android General] goitalone:
MetroPCS works... if the guy did it right that is... gotta call MetroPCS and manually enter APN.

Wait... he messed it up.. just reread what you said you're going to have to get a refund and have a different guy do it I will look for the guy that did my phone and post the link in a little bit

---------- Post added at 04:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 AM ----------

Here is the guy who did mine:

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/152465387100

it's not. permanent... never hard reset your phone or it will be as if it were never unlocked.

There is another guy who uses updated software and it IS PERMANENT, but he charges 20 bucks
[Android General] GuySparkz:
yea he screwed up. i just got an andriod system update over the air 490.4 mb and says i got to do a uicc unlock to maintain the ability to use foreign sim over wifi. i get an "authentification error please try again later" when i do the UICC unlock in the settings menu. i dont want to install the update: LS755V7, has anyone installed this?

I heard that the only way to activate APN is with GCPRO key. Is there anyway to fix my phone the guy used teamviewer and octoplus_octopus_LG_2.6.2.3_lite and usb_network_gate.

i got an att and tmobile sim but no metro pcs sim working. but still no mobile data for any sim.
[Android General] goitalone:
Just do what I said in link above or go with permanent guy in below link:

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/152465387100

Made a mistake though, he charges $27

PS....not sure if a security patch update will disable it being permanent... ask the guy I guess if he knows.
[Android General] GuySparkz:
You said you weren't getting LTE speeds with his unlock, is that still the case? Does the swift keyboard have old school phone keypad t9 keyboard? and is it free or you have to pay are there any ads and stuff?

i want to enable permanent hide caller id in menu. so download prl and profile is not useful on gsm network. anyone else have UICC inlock in system updates menu?

has anyone downloaded and installed android system update LS755V7 490.4mb? is the nougat 7.0, I heard they cant unlock nougat.
[Android General] :
Yes, I also have this setting.

I installed an update recently that was LS755ZV7 and I am still running 6.0.1 and the phone can't be unlocked with mm.
[Android General] GuySparkz:
i dialed ##3282# ro get to apn settings mode but i need a service code. where did i get service code?

i tried ##443336772# but that does not work.

nevermind, i got to edit my apn settings in "HiddenMenuCall" a shortcut that was placed on homescreen when i unlocked. But I can only add one apn settings, i would like to add more than one apn settings, is it possible? where did this come from how do i access this again in case i delete it?

i want to install new LS755V7 490.4mb update but it says it will lock my phone again. i need to get UICC unlock over wifi to work. is there a way to get the icon in top left corner to go away that says it downloaded and waiting to install? how do delete this update?

metro pcs sim still does not work but tmobile sim does. any fix?

i want my outgoing number private like GSM phones in phone settings. any fix?
[Android General] goitalone:
You don't sound fully unlocked... I told you what to do.. get a refund and have one of the other guys I posted above do it instead.

When you are properly Unlocked, MetroPCS sim will work... gotta call MetroPCS to activate it though.

---------- Post added at 10:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 PM ----------

If you any problems editing APN settings, you are not correctly unlocked
[Android General] GuySparkz:
i got my money back. does your guy give refunds if it doesn't work? Do you have "HiddenCallMenu" shortcut enabled on home screen? how many APN settings will I be able to create and save if I unlock?

I may just keep using my phone like this for as long as I can. But the LS755V7 490.4mb update is stored some where secretly on my phone and I cant find it. Is it worth updating to LS755V7 490.4mb? then trying to unlock with your guy after I update.
[Android General] goitalone:
I can make/save unlimited GSM APN settings since it is properly unlocked.

No need to use hidden menus when it is properly unlocked.

And yes they all give refunds if it doesn't work.

I am on V6. BTW and it's best these days to stay on initial firmware because each security patch update seems to be making it more and more locked down for us to root etc.

---------- Post added at 03:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:43 AM ----------

I have another different X Power btw and updated it to v7 with ZERO noticeable changes ABSOLUTELY ZERO!
[Android General] GuySparkz:
why randomly the t9 light is on and off? i want t9 to stay on or manually change it. is there a phone keypad for google g board? anyone know any good phone keypads?

LG UPPERCUT tool with US610 file?

I have an LGK450 with Cricket. Using the UPPERCUT tool along with the US610 .kdz file, will I be able to debloat my cricket LGK450?

Has anyone successfully flashed this to their Cricket LGK450 without any issues?

Or is anyone planning on making a guide on how to flash the compiled files in the XPowerVanillaRom.zip?

My LG X power is my main phone so don't really want to brick it.

Thanks.
[Android General] Pokemeninblack:
is there anything on the LGK210
[Android General] kyva1929:
I searched for a way to create kdz/tot files from a lg phone but don't seem to find a way to do so. The hardware of US610 and k450 should be identical except that US610 ones come with 2gb ram vs 1.5gb ram on k450, and us610 is a cdma phone...

Now I am just hoping that x power gets nougat update at some point and with it comes official kdz file for k450, which means it would be safe for us to flash us610 firmware
[Android General] crborga:
K450 is capable of CDMA as well I think. It's just locked.
[Android General] P25:
I doubt the nougat update will ever come because the LG X power2 is coming soon. :(

The kdz file is out there for K450, actually link is in previous posts, I just can't post it.

Just wondering if anyone tried it or not. Oh well. I may not bother. The phone works OK the way it is, especially considering it was on sale for $0.99 from cricket, you get what you pay for lol.
[Android General] bornagainpenguin:
The phone works pretty good and the battery life is insanely good but unless we get root and a lineage rom this will be my last LG phone. I love the hardware and I've enjoyed the heck out of my old LG Optimus V but every phone since then has been a disappointment.
[Android General] crborga:
I cannot understand why this phone doesn't get much attention. It's a pretty good phone for the price.
[Android General] bornagainpenguin:
Maybe it's the lack of root?

I know that I usually consider it as a factor in my purchase decision, the only reason why I didn't this time was due to not wanting to miss the sale. So I'm taking a chance on the phone because I could get it for less than $35. Unless root comes and a clean rom I'm going to be switching to something else quickly.
[Android General] kyva1929:
Can you pm me the post/link? I looked everywhere online and there are kdz files for all variants of x power except for k450.

---------- Post added at 06:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:34 AM ----------

I think kingroot is kind of close in getting root on this device. I tried kingroot on this phone and kingroot pc managed to install itself in /system/app plus su binary. However when I type su in command prompt it returns an error saying something about ui connection closed.
[Android General] crborga:
I meant that if it got more attention. Someone would have gotten root by now. Does xda not do bounties anymore for root?
[Android General] Pokemeninblack:
I just got the K210 model is there any thing on this model
[Android General] kyva1929:
Guys, let me ask this question about the bootloader on the phone.

I have a k450 and after failed attempt by kingroot to root the phone (kingroot installed itself in /system), I am still able to boot up the phone. This means the bootloader on this phone is not locked at least on the system partition, correct? Generally for locked bootloader, does it check the hash of partition image in every single boot or does it only check once (with some trigger) and set a dirty bit?
[Android General] bilgerryan:
Easiest way to tell is hook it up to a PC and use adb and enter the command "adb reboot bootloader". If it goes into fastboot mode then your bootloader isn't locked down (like the Boost model) and then you just type "fastboot flash unlock" or "fastboot oem unlock" and your bootloader should be unlocked.
[Android General] kyva1929:
I tried flashing k450 with us610 kdz file using uppercut tool. It failed with error about model mismatch.
[Android General] zonedgold:
i give up this phone will never be rooted :(
[Android General] bilgerryan:

LG X Power GSM Unlock

Today i'm finally able to unlock my LG X Power LS755 (Sprint) to use with GSM, thought a quick post may help others.

The method i used is the method to unlock LG G5 Sprint, which can be found here: https://xdaforums.com/sprint-lg-g5/how-to/guide-gsm-unlock-sprint-lg-g5-t3574819

After that i can use it with GSM Network, but i can not put in the APN settings yet. I can not change the APN in the IOT menu, maybe i can use the ##3282# DIAG menu to change, but will have to get the MSL code first. Can you suggest the best way to get it?
[Android General] zonedgold:
just got a notification from the k-450 model saying theres an update available . sould i? and what do you think it is .

asked around and it looks like its a security patch , now if only i can block this notification .
[Android General] bilgerryan:
Long press notification, hit app info, uncheck notifications (no, it won't effect any other notifications).
[Android General] ngominhnguyen:
Can someone from Sprint please help me get the MSL number, i'm stuck here.
[Android General] bilgerryan:
Pretty hard to get the MSL without root, you'll just have to call them and since you own your device they should give it to you.
[Android General] ngominhnguyen:
The problem is I am not the owner, so thay won't give the code.

Don't know why i can not edit the APN in HiddenMenu.
[Android General] bornagainpenguin:
I want root but at this point I think I'd settle for being able to disable or remove the annoying voice mail app. I'm never going to pay for voice mail so all they're doing is annoying the hell out of me and wasting battery with constant reminders my free trial is up.
[Android General] Neclaris:
Thank you! I have been searching for a way to alter the APN type in this phone since I bought it so I could use my hotspot. The app in the link you shared worked wonders. I launched the app, went to IOT(CGD2)>LTE Setting>APN Setting>clicked the APN I wanted to alter(internet), added "dun" into the APN type(minus quotes), rebooted and voila; hotspot works(I did this in "Production Network", not Lab). Thank you again so much for sharing this!:)
[Android General] Neclaris:
I was able to boot into recovery mode for the LS755 using the app linked here: https://xdaforums.com/sprint-lg-g5/how-to/guide-gsm-unlock-sprint-lg-g5-t3574819 . Launch the app, go to Power,Power+VolumeDown Longkey Reset>Power+VolumeDown Reset>On>Reboot
[Android General] :
Booting into recovery mode hasn't been a problem. We need to be able to boot to the bootloader.
[Android General] Neclaris:
I thought some people had said they were able to boot into recovery, but I was unable to do so until experimenting with that method today. Yeah, I had the option to boot to bootloader, but it just rebooted. Haven't gotten to try much since I was at school and am now at work. I really hope somebody has a breakthrough with this. I absolutely hate seeing "Permission Denied", haha.
[Android General] jimmyjam99:
Man, I can't believe no one has figured out how to do this yet! I really like this phone especially for the price (free), if I could remove the bloatware and a few other things would be near perfect for me. I'm relatively a newb when it comes to hacking phones, so I'm curious, when you all say no one can get to the bootloader etc, does that just mean for free or cheap? Meaning is there software or even hardware for 100 bucks or more that can root this phone and pretty much any other?!? Seems like there has to be lol... Sorry if this should be asked in another thread or area.

---------- Post added at 07:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 PM ----------

Another question, what is the process to get this phone added to XDA so the app and website will recognize it?
[Android General] Pokemeninblack:
i dont know much about android bootloaders but is there a way to get it open by downloading a custom recovery through download mode
[Android General] bilgerryan:
No, it's not that simple. If it were, we would already have root and a custom recovery.
[Android General] ngominhnguyen:
You're welcome! :)

By the way i found the way to edit the APN, just hold the Square button (Recent or Overview button, don't know the exactly name for it) and then you can change the setting. Very simple but hard to find.

---------- Post added at 07:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 AM ----------

I got a LS755 and it has no bloatware at all. Just like an international version.

[Android General] bornagainpenguin:
OK, is there any way to take advantage of this version of the phone by flashing it on our phones and getting a bloatware free system? If is this one of those deals where all the various versions of the phone have hardware incompatibilities and will brick the phone?

I want root but I might be able to settle for no bloatware.
[Android General] bilgerryan:
You only get the bloat when you activate it on Boost. I forget what the app was called but I was able to stop it and Disable it and remove all the bloat it installed without root.
[Android General] bornagainpenguin:
How did you disable it?

I have Virgin Mobile USA if that matters...

When you swap phones with MetroPCS you have to call them and give them the IMEI. You cant swap phones around with MetoPCS even with an unlocked phone.

Is this true?

[Android General] azvampyre:
Open dialer, type in 2945#*755# and the NetworkUnlock screen will appear. Click on Network Unlock (top selection) and you'll need to get an unlock code for your IMEI. Once you apply your unlock code it will work with any network except nextel. I got mine here in less than 10 minutes for $10.50 https://sim-unlock.net/simlock/LG/X_power/

I'm compiling the stock rom to replace the Cricket crap, but root is another issue since bootloader is hidden.
[Android General] dust_off:
X Power LS755

Thanks for reply, but it doesn't work. I tried - put in other SIM card into LS755 and rebooted. Then after bypassing 'Handsfree Activation' from Boost mobile, went to dialpad,

dialed as you indicated. Nothing appeared. No menu or hidden menu of any kind... Even when I press *#06# to get IMEI, nothing comes up. Meaning phone dialpad is locked too??
[Android General] goitalone:
Sprint/Boost Mobile codes are different than GSM models and you will not be able to use a GSM carrier unless you call Boost/Sprint and someone gives you the MSL unlock code and even then (from what I have read) it may not be able to be programmed for GSM carrier.

---------- Post added at 03:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 AM ----------

And you may as well forget unlocking the bootloader it's impossible

---------- Post added at 03:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:27 AM ----------

And we may never ever see root either due to all the monthly security patches from Google which are mainly created to block root privilege exploits

---------- Post added at 03:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:28 AM ----------

Whatever you do don't ever upgrade your system updates that pop up.. instead block them with my instructions I posted on previous page
[Android General] azvampyre:
I was able to activate mine with Verizon after unlocking. Ordered a nano sim for Verizon for $1.99 on ebay and it works fine. You can do the activation by your current number online or 611, or calling them. I had to swap the LGK450 Rom with the original LGU610 rom to get rid of the Cricket trojans hard coded into the kernel since it was still downloading Cricket Rewards apps, it was getting so bad that it was using over 1GB of mobile data daily. The Cricket Rom was nearly 700MB and the stock was only 167MB (plus the Google vanilla) and has zero bloatware. This was also the only way to root the device. after swapping roms, I could access fastboot and install SuperSU. Note, you'll need to run ADB root before anything else. With the 450 ROM, the boot.img is in the root directory, and that's why we couldn't access it, even with ADB root.

I'll upload the compiled rom and a tutorial in a couple days.

p.s. if anyone knows a way to run the make on windows without a 16GB VM it would be faster. I would have to use Unix at work otherwise. 6.0+ VM requires 16GB and Jack+Jill
[Android General] goitalone:
Sorry, I was referring to the Sprint/Boost Mobile model number LS755. You have Cricket/AT&T

---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:51 PM ----------

How did you flash roms?
[Android General] azvampyre:
I haven't found a way on Windows yet, but in Linux, you compile the rom you want from source compress to img and ADB restore "filename.img". Then on your device, you'll get a loader dialogue asking you to confirm restore from desktop which replaces your current firmware

You'll need all three sources for the original Android M 6.0.1, the LG M 6.0.1 Android, and the LG M 6.0.1 Kernel.

I'm betting this method will work within Android using terminal emulator, so expect to see rooting apks for this eventually, although it'll still need these specific roms at several hundred MB.
[Android General] goitalone:
Hmmm... interesting.

I want to know more about this later on stay in touch ok?
[Android General] azvampyre:
It should work with any network. In the service menu I set NAO test to t-mobile and it passed.

Another method you can try for root is to create a Trusted Root Certificate or CA, and in the device security tab, select Certificate management and upload the CA you made for your windows computer, reboot the device and install an SSH server to your phone,

ADB forward tcp:22 tcp:2222 then over usb and Select USB Configuation from Develop options, set to USB(Ethernet Modem). SSH into the phone with ssh root@127.0.0.1 then when you authorize with the CA's password you should have root access.

LG LS755 Boost Mobile

Thats good news about Cricket's K450 . How about LS755 from Boost? Any way to root this goddamn phone to get rid of the "handsfree activation" popup?

Or to totally swap rom on it? Thx

How did you get to that window where you can switch carriers (VZW, USC, SPT etc?)?
[Android General] goitalone:
I don't know if you want to or not but you can go to the Boost website and activate it or go to Sprint and activate it at Sprint if you want Sprint or Virgin Mobile and activate it at Virgin Mobile if you want Virgin Mobile and the activation screen will stop coming up when you boot the phone

---------- Post added at 11:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 PM ----------

And when I say activate it, I mean it will activate and the boot animation screen will become either Virgin Mobile, Sprint, or Boost Mobile animation and LG Splash screen will be gone... You don't have to make a payment to activate... at least with Boost Mobile anyway.

This will stop the hands-free activation pop up but you will also be stuck with whoever you chose to go with.
