Unlocking the phone - LG Optimus 2x

Hi everybody.
Just got my new LG Optimus 2x.
Big problem is the Lock for a special provider.
Can anybody help me with unlocking the phone?
All I found is this TUT (but it's for SGS and I'm not 100% sure if it also works for my LG): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761045
PLEASE HELP

No that tutorial wont help, the O2X isn't set out in the same way. You'll have to buy a code off the net.

Cant he nvflash it or something?

Not in a way that is going to unlock the phone, no.

I bet you could find a way if you really really wanted to

are you 100% sure that there is no way? :/

Well I'm 1,000,000% sure that the guide you posted wont help. I am also 100% sure that there is currently no free unlock solution, there might be in the future, but that doesn't help you now.

Well thats a lot of % :\

Look at your /efs partition to see why I am that many % sure the guide wont work.

hi
just guessing as I'm no technician, but as you tried it with different roms I suspect you answered yourself: might be a hardware issue
if it also didn't work on stock rom it might be a good idea to contact SE service, hope you are still in warrranty period...

Ed. maybe it's worth trying wifimonster, haven't used it myself but it's got a good rep and seems to offer quite a few configuration options
cheers

Hello!
I've already try wifimonster and all the same like in communication manager, crash...
I have got warranty, or I dont know. I've got 1+1 year,and this is the second. I don't know what is the difference between them.

hi
shame wifi monster would have been easier...
I would expect the following: first year warranty provided by (responsibility of) reseller (provider), second year by producer
easy to confirm when contacting your reseller shop (if you got it there with a contract)
cheers

It can definitely be fixed, it's just a matter of how easily it can be done. Have you tried some of the unusual combinations people have come up with to get into download mode. For example removing the battery, holding power + volume down + home and then reinserting the battery whilst these buttons are held?
Also, if you can't get into download mode that doesn't mean you have to sell it as parts. Samsung will be able to repair it, if they can't tell what you did then perhaps they'll repair it for free under warranty.
Sometimes I just wonder why people try to install low-level software on their device that ISNT MEANT for their device. There is a reason, the captivate has a different model number and that is because it requires DIFFERENT software.
This comes close to me flashing the BIOS for an AMD motherboard on my X58 Intel motherboard.
reason for people installing other software is in my case because im STUPID !!! I stood almost 24 h reading forums in my country and stuff , and i googled ODIN the first link was this ODIN ONE CLIK i entered read about things there and it seamed to be for my phone, and from there we know the story. I did not think for one moment that the soft was for another phone. After i broke it i read all 42 pages and realized that.
I can't get the phone to do anything.... i can't charge it ... it's like the USB does not exist. If i start the phone unpluged, when i plug the usb in turns oFF , ass soon as i take out the USB it will start again to flash the AT&T logo...
I hope if i can't fix it, that SAMSUNG service will change it or can repair it and not charge a hunormus amount of money for that
you have give me hope telling that it can be fixed by samsung , and i still am opened for advices from u guys

thanks, im not going to be upset if people make fun, they can do it because i was so stupid not to see that the soft is for another phone and brake it with my own hand. Isn't on this forum someone that works for Samsung and can tell me for sure what to do , or if the service can do ?

if we´d have this guy here, the galaxy s would be worlds top android device out of the box, since this guy would perfectly know what the problems are with it and could easily manage to incorporate fixes found here or based on testing people made here...

i was not referring to a developer from samsung or an engineer, i was asking for a guy that works in a Samsung service, and could tell me if my problem can be resolved in the service.

Why don't you just call them and ask yourself?
Im sorry but you screwed up. Im sure samsung can fix it but charge you heaps of money. You could always "loose" your phone if you have insurance

you don't have these option very often in this country... i know only one person that has these type of insurance...
Well there is a way of getting your phone working by putting a file on your sd card but you'd have to look for that .

Actually, you should try it... I've been told that flashing Intel boards with AMD firmwares allows unlimited overclocking! or not.

I'm sorry for that. It's a little bit of frustration speaking there. But I guess you have a way bigger problem. Although that post about putting the right file on the SD seems interesting (but I haven't heard of anything like that before).
But if you can, returning the phone and hoping that samsung will fix it will be the easiest fix.

im sure samsung can fix it evan by changing the sd in the phone with the correct soft will solve it, but i want to see if there is another way of doing it

[Q] Unlocking Free

So I might get a Galaxy S tomorrow but it might not be locked to my network. I saw an unlock tool going around here somewhere but can't find it.
Could someone link me please?
Is it easy to use, and will it work on any Galaxy S?

I actually used an application called "SGS Unlock pro" you can find it with a small research on 4shared

[Q] Optimus 4x Hardware Crash

Hello guys,
A bit of a random one here...
A few weeks ago I dropped my precious Optimus 4X. Everything appears to be fine (cosmetically)
Anyway the problem occurs when I put slight pressure on the phone. This could be from slight pressure of being in my pocket or when I squeeze the device (that's right - squeezing my phone crashes it!) Would anyone know what the problem could be? - or what I could do in order to fix this issue?
I find it quite frustrating and would like to use the device until word of a nexus 6.
Thank you all!

Sad, mate... but I think you should take your phone to technical support.

That's not an option. Its out of warranty, and I don't want to pay the fees that LG will charge. Luckily for them LG is my vendor of choice.
If anyone has the slightest clue on how to fix this, please do let me know. (The cheapest fix will be the most appropriate for me)
Thank you!

Person with an sim unlocked H811 phone

Im looking for a guy whos willing to do a nv dump for me and upload it for me..i want to try compare it to a locked phone and see if i can find the difference..
Right now I have one that's "locked" but since I had the 30 day Temp Unlock (Expired 3 days ago) I seem to be able to still use it with my STalk (At&t) SIM. If you want me to do it for you anyway I will, or I will have it officially unlocked by TMob in about 5 more days and I can do it for you then if someone else hasn't already.
If you want me to do it for you, point me to directions to getting a NV dump and I will do it ASAP.

Do you want me to do one now then another, once it gets Unlocked, that way too you can see what's different, if anything on the same device?
