Congrats on rooting your first zone3 and welcome to our thread on xda ;)

As for the sim thing thats what I was initially after also.

I successfully got the data over LTE on a cricket sim by changing those things u mentioned and by messing with the data data com.android.providers.telephony .db files also swapped my system etc apns.xml with one from a cricket phone but never did work out volte. And without abilities to make voice calls it was useless too me and so I abandoned the idea. At that time we had to be very careful about changing build.prop because it led to bricks with unknown model. In lgup but with the advances we've made it is possible to recover from even that as long as u can still get to download mode.

So I hope that you have success in your endevor.

And if you do figure it out please share the details with us here.

Thanks

Also, if u grab the publicgift file I linked a page back or there about. I noticed when I plug the fone in in regular booted mode and hit the phone settings option on lgup then click read bottom left of phone setting lgup menu and I noticed the option to change the bands (lte evdo etc ) and place to set all that network stuff ... just think that it might open up our lte and network sim options.

if someone can figure out what all that stuff means id be very grateful.

I've been too busy as of late to mess with it.

I truly wish my friend. [MENTION=7383447]MotoJunkie01[/MENTION]

Would shed light on this. He was successful in our sister phone the rebel with simunlocking and changing carriers sims...

[MENTION=7383447]MotoJunkie01[/MENTION] what do u say Bro can you shed some light?

Also want to site verisons own policy on that issue ..

I remember reading that after 3 months of prepaid service your device becomes able to be unlocked with the regular methods...

I imagine there's a process to request the code or something. I went through this with the cricket spree also... but bricked it before getting the code back. If I remember correctly it has something to do with imie number too

On back of box it says 1 year.... so hmmmm.

Check out

For details ....

That means to me its absolutely possible we can crack this functionality from our phones

Oh wow just read the policy and its a year or $100 in payments which ever comes first...

I suggest paying for the $50 a month plan two months in a row then call Verizon and tell them u intend to continue useing Verizon. But want to be able to swap sim cards when you are going to (insert place here) and argue the point with the sales person that yhe policy clearly states that u can.

And they will try to say a year but you say

No I payed my money $50 a month for 2 months and policy states $100 or a year....

Of course this don't work if you've modified your device so go stock first...

Hmmm ....

Maby flash to pp2 refuse updates call Verizon do the unlock procedure. And dump the unlocked phone so we have an unlocked flashable ....

Interesting idea....
