Does this mean that our phone can now be OEM Unlocked from the fastboot? If not I'm okay with just having my Sim Unlocked for all carriers. Havent tried this yet but can someone confirm that it works with out bricking. This is kinda my only phone atm.

---------- Post added at 04:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:14 AM ----------

Just did the process like you said butmy phone is stuck on lg logo. I cant even get into factory reset screen :(
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] DROID_4_UsEr:
It ended up working now. Fewwww..... But with this being said what if we flashed the Tmobile rom and unlock the bootloader via fastboot oem unlock? I am tempted to try this out but i know that it will only support tmobile carrier and i don't think i can afford to switch. Maybe after unlocking the bootloader we can just reflash the Canada kdz through a custom recovery and have a unlocked bootloader with carrier unlocked device. I don't know i might be wrong in all of this.
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] monta990:
i can use this H87315d_00_OPEN_CA_OP_1226.kdz version?

it's more newer.

https://lg-firmwares.com/downloads-..._north_america_h87315d_00_open_ca_op_1226_kdz

PD: i flashed it, and works perfect, this version in from dicember 2017
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kirkbob:
is there a way to unlock a sprint lg g6 to be used on us carriers? will the ca rom do this?

sorry i've only flashed a couple of roms before and it's been a while:D
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kirkbob:
well it flashed ok but i haven't tried a different carrier yet
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kirkbob:
won't work on verizon or att says emergency calls only
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] DROID_4_UsEr:
This happened to me as well. At the moment there is no fix unless you know how to flash each partition one by one in the right order and correctly. I sent mine back to LG claiming it was a failed update flash and they told me they could fix it. My warranty was bearly void but I told them it was a Sprint update that I tried flashing. The good thing is that a hard brick leaves no trace of what was there before the hard brick ?
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kirkbob:
anyone?
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] DROID_4_UsEr:
I tried flashing another kdz from Verizon but my device hard bricked. If you try using the KDZ from Canada with Verizon or at&t you might need to download the hidden menu app. There's a thread about it for LG G5 and it works without flashing a new KDZ. Not sure if it will work on G6 but as soon as I get my device back from LG I will test that method.
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] and_push:
Need help. Got a bootloop after flashing to H873 and can't do factory reset due "kill switch". Can enter to download mode and flash something but scare to get more problems.
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] DROID_4_UsEr:
This happened with me to. The steps for the recovery were different for me. Look up the steps and start the button combination as soon as the devices powers down.

I followed this instructions to Change the phone model from H872PR to H873 Oreo. My phone was on a 2017 security patch and never received updates. I came to this post from this link https://xdaforums.com/att-g6/how-to/convert-upgrade-att-g6-to-h873-oreo-t3791848 .

With this Canadian version...Is the bootloader then unlockable? Thank you for your time.
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] frostwildfire:
Only H870 and US997 are bootloader unlockable.
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] frostwildfire:
Anyone flashed the Oreo KDZ or installed the OTA update?
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] billa:
In my experience, I've never seen any phone ever get unlocked by merely flashing a firmware (even if it's an "open network" type).

Usually the network lock information is stored in a non-volatile security zone, so this just doesn't make much sense.

Now, I'm not doubting the OP, it's just extremely unusual, but it could be an anomaly or firmware bug.
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] frostwildfire:
Hi, little after the S7 Edge came out that happened too. If you flashed the non branded firmware and then came back to carrier firmware (or something like that) the simlock was gone and boom!, you had an unlocked phone.
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] sCOTTN916:
I tried to, but was unable. Not the right firmware. I used LGUP & Uppercut on my LG LS993.

First off great work and thank you. However, after the said procedure...how am i to aquire my cellular data? I was running LG LS993ZVA (Sprint). After this update i cannot get a network connection. All that works is WIFI.??? How do i get my network data
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] sCOTTN916:
WTF?

Unless my outcome differs from the other outcomes of this "Unlocking"...your tutorial does nothing but make this device useless. It cant be bootloader unlocked, and when you flash it to canadian version you lose network capabilities. Good job. Now this device is useless. Its got fastboot mode, but thats useless because LG wont release a unlock.bin key. All you can do now is use it via wifi. There is no LS993 image to go back to. Its ****ed. Awesome job, dude.
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] frostwildfire:
Have you tried to use this code on the dial pad?

##72786# - Resets provisioning and makes phone reactivate.

Useful if you are having network issues. Sprint recommends this if you ever change your services or phone number.

Hope it can help you.

Can I use this oreo firmware on my LS993?

https://lg-firmwares.com/downloads-..._north_america_h87320c_00_open_ca_op_0424_kdz

Edit: Finally I used this firmware link for my G6 and I go up to Android Oreo. I was on LS993ZV7 firmware unlocked by the octopus box. So I try this firmware with the cross finger and installed successfully and boot up unlocked with LTE. "remember do a factory reset after the procedure".

A lot of guys are complaining about Oreo firmware in other models. I have the H873-15c installed , and my phone have 5+ hr SOT, so its awesome for me.

Hi if your phone have the ZVA firmware or Oreo can you try this method https://xdaforums.com/lg-k10/how-to/guide-downloading-kdz-lg-bridge-t3504497 and see if it works?.

[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Beyaz66:
Same here!

I've a G6 for spare parts and I've found this post some days ago. I wanted to try as my device was in perfect requirements regarding the OP and some replies: LS993 on ZVA, network locked, outside of USA in France, fully charged an motivated!

But the short story is that THIS DOESN'T/WILL NOT SIM UNLOCK Your device!

Keep Your phone safe, You'll have better chances for this model to be unlocked on Sprint community pages....

However, I'll try some others things. In the meantime, could anyone who luckily unlocked the network by this method send us a screenshot of the "Network" and "Satus" screens from Setting/About phone WITH and WITHOUT a simcard inserted (DON'T FORGET to hide sensitive datas).

Edit: So actually this method might working. I've played with some settings related to APN and network in the hidden menu accessible by taping 5689#*993# on the dialer. Restarted the device with my SIM card and voilà.
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] bigjm23:
Had a Sprint LG G6 and wanted to unlock it. Ended up paying for the unlock on from a seller on eBay. The unlock used the same method as this thread and it worked perfectly. And I am not in the US either. If I was able to get another Sprint LG G6 I will be doing this myself using this method.

[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] MikeHogan:
I went ahead and flash the H87320c Oreo update on my sprint Ls993 and paid dearly by losing my Sprint network connectivity like some had mentioned. :crying::crying:

After 30+ tabs open on my browser and hours of research, I manage to get 3G back on from Sprint and now in the process of getting Lte on as well. So far I was able to make a call and receive txt messages.
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] frostwildfire:
Too bad and nice you could managed to get it on 3G, I opened a thread like 3 weeks ago with a method to get the KDZ from the phone before flashing the Canadian firmware but no one replied.

Hope you make it work on LTE, good luck mate.
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] MikeHogan:
Yeah, I saw that thread but had no success backing up my Kdz file at the time.

I just hope I'd figure it out and get Lte back on.
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Antin.Xopc:
Hi. I have the same problem. How you do it?

Thanks
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] MikeHogan:
I don't know the exact steps but I am sure I got it working from playing with the settings below.

Use this code here *#*#4636#*#*

next, go to "Phone Information"

and at the "Set preferred network type" change to see what works.

also in the top right corner with the "3 dots" tap it and choose "Select radio band" mess with those also.

I also mess with more setting in the "Hidden Menu mode" *#546368#*873#

- Field Test + NAO Test + NAOT + NAO Settings + NAO CARRIER | click on "SPR".

- Field Test + Modem Settings + RAT Selection | click on " GSM / WCDMA / LTE auto".

- Or you can go to Field Test + Modem Settings + Network Mode | click on "Automatic"

Reboot your device.

There are more options you can play around with in Hidden Menu Mode. If you get Lte back on plz let me know and post the instructions ty.

Video tutorial how to unlock the Sprint LG G6

Hi Guys

Thank you to Ferga2790 from XDA Developers, I was able to unlock my Sprint LG G6 LS993ZVA, now my phone model is LG-H873. I filmed the whole process and I hope it can help anybody that wants to unlock their Sprint phone.

just got a USED sprint ls993 lg g6, and my software says LS993ZV4 and is on android 7.0 .

Is my phone already pre-flashed with this unlocked method? it does work with a non-sprint sim card.

how can i update to OREO 8.0? i NEED to use the google camera
[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] FancyPantsu:
Not completely true. I've swapped Sims a few times from multiple carriers. After a restart you will have a signal, but some will and some will not allow you to edit the APN. In my case I use FreedomPop and I have the option available for APN. Hit and miss I suppose?

---------- Post added at 08:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 PM ----------

You have no need to flash this if you're already unlocked. Get a modified version of Google Camera, or Pixel's camera APK. Imo they both suck compared to stock, to each their own.

Tldr; don't need to, don't risk it.

yes that is what i meant, i got arnova's modded google camera but it does NOT work with android 7.0 i believe. i installed it OK but crashes right when i open it, and i think it's because i'm not on OREO.

[Sprint LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] blaudp79:
My phone is an AS993 almost same as LS993. The phone is unlocked (no sim lock) and I’m thinking to do this procedure. Is this upgrade enabling all LTE bands by overwriting the radio rom or it only replaces the android partitions and leaves the radio rom as is?

I would only do the procedure if all LTE bands become "alive", otherwise I see no point risking…

I need band 66 which is locked with AS993 (also on LS993), hence the interest…

UPDATE

Hi guys, I've gone back to writing because today I just updated from the April version to the September version (2018-09-05) to have the security patches.

The process is the same to update since it does not work via OTA, but in that case, you will not have to do a factory reset, all your data and applications will be intact after updating with the same procedure. So you know, the updates are manual.

If you are a user of the sprint carrier to avoid using this ROM because it will cause problems with the CDMA network, this is for the GSM users globally to unlock the GSM frequency. I'm from the Dominican Republic and the LTE works perfectly for me. I think that will work for AT & T and T-Mobile users. Greetings. :)

Pro tip: if you use a specific different firmware instead, you will get limited Verizon CDMA support, you won't lose Sprint support & the LG SmartWorld app won't force you to pick Canada as your region.
