[LG G8 Questions & Answers] francescocy:
Making some progress: I received the new heicard, cut it in half as required and put it to the test. ICCID mode doesn't seem to work, I get the correct ICCID to show up under "about this phone", but still get the "invalid SIM" notification on boot and a failed activation from Sprint. In manual IMSI mode I'm able to select Sprint and upon rebooting the phone, I'm greeted with no "invalid SIM" message, but a "no signal" notification; this looked promising, I downloaded an app called "network operators shortcut" to circumvent Sprint's lock of the settings app and I'm able to see and manually select my current network! (CoopVoce, in Italy) Sadly shortly after I get a message saying "your SIM doesn't allow connection to this network", followed by a persistent notification saying "SIM not provisioned for voice".

I feel like I tried all possible settings (GSM, CDMA, LTE), but still no luck. Either Sprint's lock of this phone goes deeper than expected, or the phone itself misses some required bands, or possibly this heicard won't work and I'll have to try a different method.

Any suggestions?
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Sekhno:
Hey Friend,

I just wanted to thank you and say that you are doing great job. I hope you will find out method how to unlock sprint LG G8.

I also have this device and hope some day it will be unlockable.

Greetings from Georgia
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] francescocy:
Guys and Gals following this thread: I have great news! I'm typing this from my Locked Sprint v50 now fully operational on LTE in Italy!

Follow the steps as described in my last post (insert the heicard, select manual IMSI); at this point the phone will not be complaining about an incompatibile SIM card anymore, but you'll need one extra step: head to the settings and reset network settings, wait a few seconds and LTE will now show up in the top right corner :)

Credit where credit is due, I got the idea from lalzaben's post in this thread: https://xdaforums.com/t/help-needed-no-sim-card-when-dialing-a-number-lg-v50-sprint.4219587/

I may write a detailed guide in the future, but these posts should contain all the information necessary for anyone to be able to replicate my results (pictures and link to the specific heicard model are in the previous post)

What can I say? I'm super-stoked on getting this phone to work! I've basically saved it from hitting the recycle bin!

UPDATE: if you still get the "SIM not provisioned for voice" message, do a backup, then full restore of the phone, then repeat the above steps. You should now be able to make phone calls, but not connect to LTE. Download an app called "AddAPN" from the play store and manually save the Access Point Name for your carrier (yours will be different from mine, but I'll add it as reference, it's in italian, but you should get the gist, relevant steps are 10 through 14: https://www.helpforsmartphone.com/coopvoce/it/lg/g6/android-8-0/guides/22/Configurare-Internet-LG-G6)

Bonus: look here if you want to get rid of sprint apps and services, including the activation on boot https://xdaforums.com/t/remove-sprint-activation-on-boot.4177643/

Hi, What version of Android do you have in your V50?
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Erickonce:
I have a lg g8 locked sprint Android 9, I have tried with U-sim and Heicard, both work but the phone automatically goes into Roaming, mark the R above the signal bar, the phone only works with calls and messages does not have access to data or Internet, I tried with two other devices to find out if it is a problem with the Lg g8 that automatically goes into Roaming and never connects to the Internet data network First a Lg V40 Android 9 Sprint unlocked, I put the sim with the Heicard and the phone like the lg g8 automatically goes into Roaming and receives the configuration via otas Internet but does not have Internet access, has calls and messages the same as the g8. I tried with other older equipment the Samsung j3e Android 7 sprint unlocked the result was exactly the same as in the lg g8 and the V40, it automatically goes into Roaming it has calls and messages but no Internet access, to finish the lg V 40 and the j3e both sprint unlocked work correctly without the Heicard they have calls, messages and access to the Internet Lte network since they are unlocked.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] francescocy:
hi, android 10.0
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] francescocy:
weird, how are you setting up your heicard? (exact steps)

Also check my latest update, you may need to manually add the access point name for your carrier in order to get data working
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Erickonce:
exact steps, automatically goes into Roaming, on Android 10 20d too.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] francescocy:
Well, the thing is, the phone may believe to be roaming, because it will register on a network different than Sprint. Try enabling roaming (look at the screenshot, sorry for it being in italian, I've changed my display language).
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] francescocy:
Also, could you try downloading this app and manually saving the access point name (APN) for your carrier? (Try googling "name of your carrier" APN setup)
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Erickonce:
Hi, I'm still testing with the heicard V1.39, I can assure you that if the device goes into Roaming mode, as in my case, the sprint software blocks the APNs automatically and does not allow adding them manually or allowing the device to connect. to the Internet network only allows calls and messages. I discovered this in the other unlocked Sprint phones that I have the lg v40 and the Samsung J3 that will always connect to the network with any configuration or carrier, I put the heicard I select IMSI manual unlock the phone connects to the network and detects that the carrier does not It is sprint and it automatically goes into Roaming and blocks the APNs, it tells you that there are no APNs and it does not allow adding apn manually therefore it does not connect to the Internet network, I make three attempts at imsi manual unlock everything remains the same. Next step, I change ICCID perfect unlock I go to the apn configuration, surprise I can see the four otasn apn configurations received ready to use, with this method Iccid perfect unlock the phones lg v40 and J3 are not put into Roaming automatically as happens with the imsi method, I have calls, messages and Internet Lte. Next step I configure the heicard in imsi manual unlock mode, I choose sprint, get it accepted and that's it, heicard configured, again the device automatically connects to the network and goes into Roaming. I'm going to see the APNs and they have all disappeared. Sprint blocking them when entering Roaming again it does not allow adding apn not shows you the received directly via otasn , the sprint software hides them and does not allow the device to connect to the Internet network when it is roaming. My conclusion, if your device is put into Roaming, with the R above the signal bars, you will only have calls and messages, the iccid perfect unlock method only works on IPhones, and it is not used to use it on my lg g8 sprint locked.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] francescocy:
I know, this is what happens on mine as well! APNs are "grayed out" in settings, try adding one with the app I suggested once the phone is already in roaming mode.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Erickonce:
Thanks for the suggestions, I can see that your lg v50 does not have the R above the signal bar, that is why you have the otasn configuration of the Apn received and you can modify the Apn, I think it is your Carrier that does not make your phone not detect that it is outside the USA and does not enter into Roaming, in my case the carrier that I used makes the phone identify that it is in another country out of USA, the phone automatically goes into Roaming blocking the Internet network and the apn configuration .
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] francescocy:
It's possible, have you tried a factory reset?
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Erickonce:
Yes hard reset, same result Roaming again
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] francescocy:
Try deleting all Sprint apps via ADB
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Erickonce:
Thanks for the help, please can you take a Screenshot of the View SIM Info in the heicard menu, there we can see the final configuration of the heicard, with which the Phone worked correctly, thanks.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] francescocy:
Sure
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Kakanman:
same issue with my Sprint LG g8. no APN, "addAPN" application doesn't change the default settings...and my heidcard stopped work after I've changed the setting for a few times, the hard reset didn't helped. Not working even with the setting like in the post above.

In a case with LG V40, You can crossflash it to 405EBW open firmware, mine V40 had seen the sprint sim cards after crossflashing and network had been active, big probability that everything will work with heidcard also.

Unfortunately, it's not possible on newer lg phones like g8, yet...
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] francescocy:
Have you tried deleting all Sprint apps and services? (Enable USB debugging and uninstall them with ADB)

[LG G8 Questions & Answers] francescocy:
Damn. I don't know what to say; sometimes these unlock methods can be very finicky.

Try cycling between the heicard modes a few times perhaps?
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Kakanman:
APN doesn't work because Sprints MCC=310 and MNC=12 I suppose they are used for internet connection, You can change them directly at heidcard, but then phone won't accept Your sim. What's your MCC and MNC?
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Erickonce:
Someone tried secret code * # * # 1472365 # * # *, protocol setting, Apn setting. Here it asks for the password to be entered. It is not the spc or msl code, I have tried several but I had no luck, I suppose it must be another code one of those three unlock codes by imei that they sell for lg g8, I suppose that from there you could change the apn settings . Do not touch the other options because this hidden menu does not appear again and to activate it again you have to enter other secret codes ## 3282 #, ## 72786 #, 5689 # * 820 #, * # * # 4636 # * # *, hopefully someone knows what password has to be entered.View attachment 5289673

i have a g8 sprint on android 10
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] francescocy:
Don't know sorry, rsim12 seems pretty old, can you try updating? Or buy the same heicard I used. Always keep in mind these unlock methods are hit or miss...

Right, I guess it doesn't matter if the phone is unlocked, it always asks for the password

Hi. I got an LG V60 locked to T Mobile. First, everything works great using IMSI manual then suddenly I can't connect to a network although I can search for network. It says that sim card is bot allowed to connect to the network. Do you think the Heicard is damaged somehow? How do you cut yours? Thanks
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Erickonce:
Hello, the same thing has also happened to me, to solve the problem Problem I configure the heicard on another unlocked phone, in my case for sprint you must do it for tmobile, make a couple of calls and voila, then I put it on the locked phone .
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] artemis...:
Thank you for your reply. I was going to try this and just checking of the my V60 is reading the chip (bought few of this and some are not working all the time 😂) then I got signal again. If this will happen again, i'll try your method. Thank you very much 😁
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] artemis...:
I forgot to asked, after doing this have you encounter this problem again and repeat the method? Thanks.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Erickonce:
Yes, it has happened to me many times and the only way to reconfigure my heicard is using an unlocked lg v40 that I have, on my lg g8 sprint locked almost never correctly configure the heicard, that's why I do it on the unlocked phone similar to the iPhone

A heads up: latest update seems to have fixed Bluetooth issues and heicard stability issues!

Edit: 03/08/21 it's been about a month with only 1 reboot required and no Bluetooth issues, the phone kept working even high up in the italian alps. Overall I'm super happy!

For anyone who hasn't done it yet, do install the latest update ASAP! (3rd July for Sprint models)

Hello,

I want to Install the Xiaomi.eu MIUI12 Rom in redmi note 7 i have the Orangefox Recovery and im currently on miui11 global 11.0.5 im confused about the encryprytion. Can anyone give me a step by step Guide what i have to so to Install miui12 xiaomi.eu Rom with orangefox and encryprytion
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] Azamsm:
(I would recommend a clean flash to prevent any mishap. However, this is a tested method on my Redmi 7S, I would not be responsible for your bricked phone, you know!)

First of all, backup all your important data & boot up into Orangefox.

Go to Menu》Settings》Tick "Disable Forced Encryption " (make sure it's ticked up)

Tip: In case you're flashing official MIUI, also tick "Disable dm-verity".

Now go to Wipe section

Select all partions except Internal storage, Micro SD and USB OTG.

Swipe to wipe.

Very Important: Go to Menu》Reboot》Recovery to reboot to recovery.

Now from the main menu, go to files, choose the ROM package and flash.

Now to be safe (however not needed), you would like to reboot to recovery rather than to system to make sure everything go right.

Then from Recovery go to Menu> Reboot>System.

It should boot up in around 5-10 min.

Best of luck.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] DarthJabba9:
Ahem! Most definitely do

NOT

tick either of these, or it

will

end in tears. With lavender, you must keep DM-Verity and encryption intact.

Will I lose orangefox if i flash official closed beta?

So is there any way to change custom roms without formatting data Everytime?

Yes - if the ROMs are based on compatible device trees with similar encryption protocols. Some of the new FBE ROMs fall in that category.
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) Questions & Answers] andbrigo:
Hi everyone, I have the following problem.

Yesterday I broke the display of my Samsung Galaxy A7 2018: the screen is completely black and obviously the touch doesn't works.

I tried to connect the phone via ADB to my linux pc and until yesterday I was able to connect it even if it wasn't authorized to perform any action.

I tried to restart the phone and now I'm not able to connect it anymore via ADB, maybe it's in some strange status that I can't recognize.

Considering that I can't see the screen and only actions I can take is via phone keys (vol +, vol - and power), how cam I try to restore the phone and (if possible) try to see the screen via an externet app/software like droid@screen?

I would really appreciate any help

Thank you very much

Does anyone have any idea how to get the menu displayed?

Maybe with a different firmware? There is firmware from China on it.

These firmware versions are available for the mobile phone.

Which should go?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] varcor:
You have the S20 Hong Kong Variant. eSim isn't available on your device and changing firmware from TGY, which is the CSC on your device, to a different CSC usually creates more problems than it solves. The Forum is littered with users who have numerous issues after changing firmware. Firmware is CSC specific so altering this compatibility can have adverse effects. Carrier Aggeration, Wifi Calling, Samsung Pay, Samsung Health, Secure Folder as well as your Warranty may be at risk.

Another option if you want to have Dual SIM and SD Card is adding an adapter. I wouldn't consider that since it's a pretty funky setup.

https://www.simore.com/en/dual-sim-adapter-galaxy-s20-ultra-samsung-speed-zx-twin.html

On my Galaxy S8 I shaved a SIM Card, fixed it to the back of my SD Card to facilitate the setup you're hoping to achieve however Samsung squashed that option on S9's and likely S10's and S20's. I'm curious why you feel eSim is vital? It's much easier just to swap out the SD Card with a SIM when Dual SIM is beneficial.

Which S20 Snapdragon variant can support Nano Sim + eSim + Micro SD? I thought the HK version could do that and was about to buy.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] varcor:
According to Samsung Support, which I would take with a grain of salt, a future update may enable eSim on Snapdragon Devices. The Snapdragon 855 SOC is compatible with eSim as evidenced on the Galaxy Fold and I would think the 865 SOC on the S20's is as well, however at this time I'm not aware of any eSim enabled S20's with Snapdragon SOC's.
