No sorry, don't have the device so can't test. Maybe try putting a 0 in front of behind the 997 though, not sure. I'm guessing they wanted to differentiate the access code for the two different software versions but not sure. The code should be what was posted just different would be the 997 part.

I am using a US 997 on at&t without issues at all without the need to go in the hidden settings menu
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jeffsga88:
Just noticed you posted that you tried:

*#546638#*997#

It should be:

*#546368#*997#

At least from my research that 2nd code should work :)
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] boksquare:

Not sure then :(

I can confirm it doesn't work on my LG US997, I think mine is the unlocked version I won this device on internet giveaway, I currently use it on AT&T network but it came with an US Cellular SIM card

Same here mine came with us Cellular Sim I won it too and I use it on cricket but I was able to use one of the codes to access hidden menu

Does anyone know why you can't change the call forwarding settings when using cricket with the us997 unlocked US Cellular version? I can change the call forwarding from my son's iPhone with my sim card in it but not with my sim card in this phone.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] htcnext:
This is my first unlocked phone. I did have some problems getting it activated on Verizon (their fault). After a few days of use it is excellent, very fast operation. And I appreciate having some of the features like smart settings and LG smartworld that Verizon deleted from the LG G4 carrier version.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] shaneg79:
I went to Verizon and they tried and couldn't activate mine.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] htcnext:
Get a nano sim (either from local Verizon or have it mailed). Call Verizon and see if they can activate it. Tell them you are switching to T-Mobile if they can't make it work. Verizon just lost customers last quarter for the first time in its history. So there is some pressure on them for business right now. I think the store employees get paid for selling phones and maybe they are not motivated to help people with unlocked devices. The people on the phone are probably paid to retain customers. In my experience the in store folks are not helpful with unlocked devices, but I managed to get mine working over the phone.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] shaneg79:
I don't have Verizon I went to cricket because after the guy at the Verizon store tried to put the IMEI number into the computer and it kept getting an error and then I tried the imei online before I went to the store and both times it said the phone wasn't compatible.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] htcnext:
Oh I did not realize you were ok with other wireless providers. Good for you, Cricket is a good choice, you will save a lot of money. I am considering Consumer Cellular and MetroPCS instead of Verizon.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] shaneg79:
Yeah service isn't bad just wish I could figure out why it won't let me change the call forwarding settings from the phone I had to call cricket to have them change them for me. It keeps giving me am error that says connection error or invalid mmi code which I have verified the code I dialed is correct and if I put cricket sim into my son's iPhone I can change it but it just won't let me from this phone for some reason.

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] westside80:
I bought an unlocked G6 off eBay and when it came, I noticed it said US Cellular on the white label on the box. The seller didn't make that known in the listing so I returned it. The US Cellular model hasn't been updated since May 2017 and is still on the April security patch even though it's now September. All other G6 models are at least on July security patch and the T-Mobile model is on the August security patch. It seems like US Cellular has already given u on the G6. I may just order it from Best Buy where I know I'll get the unbranded US997 model. I don't know why LG used the same model number for the factory unlocked and the US Cellular model.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] shaneg79:
I have a US Cellular version and have the July security patch running us99714a
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] westside80:
Do you have US Cellular service? I have cricket and it said I was running the latest software. I went to US Cellular website and it showed I was running the latest software, according to their chart. I think the last few numbers were 12a. It was the April security patch. Go look on their software support page and you'll see what the latest update is for the US997 US Cellular model.

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] westside80:
Oh, okay. I didn't even know about that. I don't know how to do it though. I wish I would've asked sooner. I got it boxed up ready to return. I don't know how to flash anyway. I know a little but I've never flashed anything before. I've downloaded and installed some updates via sd card on a couple Honor phones but that's about it.

---------- Post added at 05:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 AM ----------

Could I do it all from the phone? Just download the file to my sd card and install it that way? Not too good at this stuff. On the Honor phones, I would just download the latest firmware to an update.app folder on the sd card, and then install it via sd card. Sometimes the files would have to be unzipped. Like I said, I'm not the best at this stuff but I could do it if I had time. I wish I would've gotten on here and asked first.

Normally nobody tries to find alternative methods if there is a boot loader unlocked version.

That is the sad reality. :(

They're isn't one for the US Cellular one though I've seen them do it on other phones models
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_head:
You miss the point.

There is a version of the LG G6 (US997) that has an unlockable bootloader.

I understand that it's the same version/model as the US Cellular model.

But it is still true that with a version that has an unlockable bootloader that works on all carriers, developers don't try to develop root methods.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ggoomani:
I was about to buy a US997 for US Cellular assuming that it was the same. Crazy that they use the same model# as the unlocked version.

Is it true? Can I not even use my T-Mobile sim card in the US Cellular version? Can it be rooted?

Buy the version from B&H for $449.

It has the unlockable BL.

So I've been having this problem where all third party apps using the Google Maps API (S Health) for example, don't show any map features. Roads, parks, bodies of water are nonexistent, all I can see is a location indicator and a sea of grey tiles, and I don't recall changing any settings recently. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Google Play Services, reset app permissions, and cleared both the device and app cache to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

Below are screenshots of the bug occurring in two separate apps. The same occurs in any app with a Google-powered maps function.

I have gotten download mode to work somewhat using lglaf.py from this post located here

I am using windows 10 pro

Python 3.6

and the above file.

I have managed to get ls and lsmod commands working.

lsof and lsusb also work.

examples are:

python lglaf.py --unlock -c "!EXEC ls / "
python lglaf.py --unlock -c "!EXEC ls /system/bin/ "

note that there are 2 spaces between !EXEC and ls and one space after the command ending in /. Capitalization is also important.

I will work on more but I really don't want to mess up my phone.

EDIT: I forgot one of the most important things. How to get your phone to reboot back to normal. Run the following command.

python lglaf.py --unlock -c "!CTRL RSET"

[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
No updates afaik. I don't have a second device that I am willing to brick to test anything else, but as far as I can tell we are locked down so tight that we will probably never see root on this device unless the rooting methods change 100% and don't require filesystem access and even if that were the case root would be useless as the main reason for root is writing to the filesystem.

EDIT: IF lg allows us to root or unlocks this phone we could have root but I don't see that happening either. Also if we had a tot file for this phone we could have root access but it would be dangerous and if you change anything with it you would get a secure boot error. All we can hope for is that lg releases an engineering build or makes some other major mistake or something else leaks.

Ahh ok ok so do you know how we could start looking for Vulns? I never understood how to debug a phone

There is a site that lists all of the known vulnerabilities for linux and android but I forgot what it is. Google probably knows though. However even with a vulnerability root will probably throw an secure boot error. We need a venerability for the bootloader.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] StereoSteo:
So I have an S8 on Vodafone bill pay on contract for 2 years and I want to root the phone mainly for sound mods and a few other things. However I'm having the same home button problem as a lot of others and I'm afraid in case it ends up being a hardware problem then they tell me I voided my warranty by rooting. Should that still happen even if it's a manufacturing fault? Surely rooting shouldn't affect it if it has nothing to do with whether the device is rooted or not but is there any insight as to whether the home button is a hardware problem yet just in case?

i'm pretty fed up of outlook and how it screws with my contacts *i recently updated, and it removed all the titles from the names which is VERY annoying.* not to mention when i add contacts to my phone, it does NOT add them to outlook (maybe i'm just stupid but when i tried to set it to phone, it DELETED all my contacts sans a few) are there any alternative programs that are a bit easier and funner to use?

thanks in advance.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Charger:
in one word: no.

Outlook is the easiest way AND the most perfected.

There are a few other possibilities to avoid outlook but in my opinion a pda without outlook is useless.

If you encountered problem it might be

-correct active sync version ?

corresponding to that : correct outlook version ?

-correct settings in active sync ?

If you fail to syncronize with ac....dont even try other solutions.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Elazul:
i'm using activesync 4.5 and the outlook version 2002, i copy contacts and settings from outlook just fine, with the exception of it screwing with the titles and names a bit, it's the other way around that's giving me a headache.

what do you recommend the optimal settings be so that if something is new on my computer, it transfers to my phone, and if something is new on my phone, it transfers to teh computer

(also anyway to stop it from seperating the names and removing titles?)

thanks in advance.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Charger:
seems to be a settings problem

So i only have a german verison of ac i don't know the english name for the settings.

But you have to tell ac to sync in both ways and give the mobile thing the priority.

Then your problem should be solved.

I had similar frustration. I eventually set up my 8125 to its own email address, and turned off the sync-ing of contacts. I have two separate contact lists now, but I'm not losing contacts from my phone all the time, either.

I do not have problems with duplicated events, but I publish my Outlook calendar to the phone, not the other way around.

I never schedule from my 8125. I always tell people to send it to my email, so I can control it from my PC. I only use the handheld on meeting-heavy days, and then I'm only checking email, and not accepting meetings.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] PhilD41:
Well, there is an alternative. I run linux so AS isn't even an option for me. I have been using FinchSync since I got the phone and it has worked great. I can even sync anywhere I have a network connection without being at home.

FinchSync uses an http connection to sync contacts with Mozilla's Thunderbird email and address client as well as your datebook with Mozilla's Sunbird calendar. So far it has worked great. One hint though, take the time to read the install and configuration instructions on their website!

Hope this helps!

I absolutely hate Activesync. I update my phone contacts and appointments via my Tilt, and then hook it up to my computer only to find that Activesync is deleting them on my phone and restoring the older files on my two PC's. I think, "oh, well I must have the sync settings set improperly," so I check them on my PC and my Tilt... it turns out that it only goes one way: from the PC to the mobile device. (Please correct me if I'm missing something.) You can just disable the sync settings, but then what's the point of having the program installed?

Personally, I have few complaints about Outlook.

I haven't tried it yet, but I'm going to be giving PDASync a try. They seem to advertise all of the features I'm looking for, although it does carry a hefty price tag of $50.

Hello. I cant seem to find any service that can sim unlock a verizon htc 10. I am looking for a remote unlock, or a way I can be sure it will unlock, since I am buying the phone off Ebay. I would hate to buy it, to see it wont accept unlock codes.

Will converting it to US unlocked version (s-off, change cid, flash ruu) sim unlock it? Or is the sim lock permanent on verizons?
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Tarima:
As I mentioned in the other thread the verizon 10 is not sim locked and will work with a gsm sim card, provided that the lte bands used by the GSM network are supported by the Verizon variant. You just need to switch the network mode to Global in Settings I believe.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] liquidzorch:
Thanks for your replies. I have asked the person selling it, and he says his is locked to verizon, it will not accept gsm sim. The unlocked verizons are a bit more expensive. Is there any remote unlocking services for verizon? Even if it has bad ESN.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Tarima:
I don't know how much sense what the seller is telling you makes.

https://www.whistleout.com/CellPhones/Guides/verizon-unlocking-guide

As I said I used my stock verizon 10 with a gsm sim.

Regarding your question sorry I don't know. And I suspect the reason you don't find much info is because it's not needed.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] liquidzorch:
Yes, you can ask for an unlock, but you have to meet certain criteria, and some phones being sold dont meet the criteria, or the owner does not feel like calling verizon and asking them to unlock it even when being free. If I buy one I can not ask them to unlock it since I will not be on thier network. I have fallen in that trap before. They ask you have it activated on their network so they can send the unlock. Stupid, but its their rules.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Tarima:
From Verizon's website:

We do not lock most phones or tablets that are activated with our postpay service, either during or after the term of your service contract or*Device Payment Plan*installment sales agreement.

We do not lock our 4G LTE devices, and no code is needed to program them for use with another carrier.

This is their official policy written on their site, so if the seller is trying to sell you phone that's somehow locked you should beware.
