Since the latest version of LG Revolution, Spectrum and Lucid you can not open the LG Service Menu. We have decided to release our LG tool for opening the LG Service Menu.
Version 1
Opens the LG Revolution Service Menu
On the Lucid and Spectrum it ONLY opens the Data Menu (Will release a fix for this)
Enjoy!
Code:
lg.flashingtools.com - Download
- Best to visit this on an android device
Can a mod change that to a link?
Nice to get back what was removed.
Thank you!
what's good about it
When will the fix for the service menu be released for LG spectrum?
Legit or no?

Please enlighten. Why do I need this app? What does the LG Service menu do for me? (not being sarcastic, never accessed the menu so I don't know whats available in it.)

Well its great when your trying to program these particular phones to other service providers like page plus or cricket, this service menu allow's to set up the phone's programming manually, some of the detailed provisioning is needed within these service menu's, that you cant necessarily do with cdma ws or qpst..
lg revolution downgrade from 2.3.6
@ magical, that apk will only read sum of the menu's when loaded on the 2.3.6 V8 firmware it seems to revert back after a reboot you must downgrade to V7 to utilize the lgservicemenu for internal provisioning.
Here i found this for anyone that has lost root on the V8 OTA on there Rev or needs to downgrade there Lg Device for some reason..

worked flawless now I'm rooted again, and 3g on PP.. then if you must you can one click root with the new build keep your 3g and go ahead and update back to V8.
enjoy !!!

legit, but limited, only reads the RX Diversity MRD with 1stTX 2ndRX setting will not stick on the V8 2.3.6 fiirmware and you need to toggle this setting to get the 3g moving so pretty much this apk is worthless for the Revolution for programming 3g speeds on the V8 2.3.6.
It doesn't work on my Spectrum. I installed the app with Astro file manager but when I tryed to open it nothing happened.

Anyone know how I can get this to work?
I'm thinking the SIM card is locked. Thanks
it does not work on the lucid.
Hi everyone !
First of all, I'd like to introduce a little of myself because i'm new here ! My name is David, I'm 22, and i'm from France (Sorry for my English :angel. I just switched from an iPhone 4s to a Sony Xperia T (obvious in this section of the forum, right? ^^)
I'm a total beginner about Android development, but i'm learning more and more everyday !
Here is my problem : The xperia I bought is simlocked to Orange, a french provider (even though I know it exists in other countries), and i'd like to know how I could get rid of this lock so I can use my phone with my unlimited plan from another provider.
Does the lock come from the fact that the it's a Orange Firmware ? Can I bypass it by flashing the firmware and installing another firmware that won't be from Orange?
Do I have to unlock the bootloader ? Root the phone ?
Thanks for your answers and your help ! :good:
It will be simlocked to Orange regardless, you'll have to call Orange or a third party to unlock it for you.
Only Samsung devices and certain HTC have certain ways to unlock the phone freely. I don't know about Sony, as this is my first Sony phone.
I already called them, they told me that it costs 76€.. And a third party would be pretty much the same I guess..
Well I hope there's gonna be another solution, because I can't wait to fully use it ! :fingers-crossed:
Thanks for your answer though !
Most t third pairs will do it for around 30 bucks
Did I help? Then please don't forget to press the thanks button.
Is your question solved? Then mark your question solved in your title.

well I can't find one that'll do it for 30 bucks, so if you know one !
French law about cellphone states your service provider is to unlock your phone free of charge (considering you ask for it) after the sixth month of your engagement.
It can be done sooner but as you said, it's not free at all, and you'll still have to pay for your monthly plan for the rest of your engagement period.

well if it is in status locked, you can unlock it (if i understand correctly). type *#*#7378423#*#* service info, configuration (or similar, am on cm10 so cannot look) and check if you can unlock it.
Sent from my Xperia T
The phone is in status locked when I look in Service Info, but I believe some members here already did unlock their bootloader.
Also I flashed the original Orange branded rom and replaced it with the Generic UK one, which is not branded (I thought by doing this it might disable the simlock, but it didn't..)

what i mean is not simlock, of course, but it should say in that menu if you can unlock bootloader.
it should say something like: Rooting: Unlock of bootloader: Yes
edit: from sonymobile site:
Instructions
First, you should confirm that it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your phone by checking the service menu. In your phone, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
In your phone, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.

It actually says "No" to unlock the bootloader, that's what I was trying to say previously lol
That's why I said that I believe,even though it says no, that some members managed to unlock it. Or maybe that status is proper to each phone?

That's true for the 2011 line and some of the 2012 line. But for Xperia t it is not (yet) possible. And if they unlocked while bootloader unlock allowed stated no they paid for it.

None other than to ask your carrier nicely it for a paid for service. And its unlikely there ever will be one.

the lock is not in the bootloader, but only the check for a lock is. so nomatter which bootloader, you will probably get a locked bootup or unlocked depending on model.
anyways how will you compare that bootloader? i believe only wkpark extracted the bootloader from official distribution kdz file, no developer kdz exists so you can compare, and i believe bootloader allocation is not found within mmcblk0 area, so it will be hard to compare the memory.
I was thinking looking at the assembly of both and seeing what is different. It was just a suggestion that wouldn't work hahha. What im kind of looking for at the moment is a guide on 2nd init. (I cant figure out how to get it to boot.etc, i know its something to do with the DRM, i basically dont know where to get started.) other than 2nd init i am also looking at a custom stock rom....

it means bootloader is completely issolated from the system itself
and the OS doesn't have access to bootloader or its info for that matter

So, rooted, boot unloaded, but running the latest firmware available on stock Xperia stuff, and one issue I've come across (Which was also present when going back to a previous firmware when doing root-exploit)
I can't disable my lock screen. I have to have one.
When I should be getting this.
Instead I get this.
When Googling answers, the most relevant result is someone asking how to go to AOSP lock screen rather than Xperia's. But I don't want that, I don't want a lock screen at all.
So, is there a way for me to cut it out entirely? Because it's not giving me the option to 'None'. I know you can go through and just delete/block specific system apps (The 'No xperia lock screen' thread suggested this), but that was for Xperia's. I don't know if it's dangerous to do for all of it.
Why is this missing? It exists going back to Xperia Z. Is my firmware faulty? Because it's in the list of firmwares (and the only one for me might I add)

2 out of 3 firmwares available. The old and new. It was pretty weird, but I suppose it doesn't matter now. I went with Cyanogen 12 since I managed to get some of the things fixed on it.
I'm wondering if it was due to a dirty flash. I havn't seen anyone complain about the firmware I used having any issues like it.
I didn't have it on the previous firmware I was on. D5833. I flashed a D5803 firmware and I have the option to disable it now.

Isn't doing something like that a bad idea? Doesn't the firmware have to match the model exactly?
5833 and 5803 were different models I thought.
Haven't noticed any difference yet to be honest. I've flashed roms for both variants and afaik there's no difference at all.
I bought an used samsung Galaxy S4 phone and after a while I found out that my imei has been changed I mean its not the same as the one under the battery, till then I thought its not a big deal but after a while I met some problems one of them is I cant connect to 3G network and my 2nd problem I found yesterday when I tried to update the android software I got that message"your device has been modified"

What I'm asking is what carrier are you using your device on and if the device is branded by a different carrier. Most times flashed devices won't be officially supported by another carrier flashed devices are different from unlocked devices as some flashing requires a "donor phone" for an IMEI and this can be problematic for data etc.

Post this thread under Galaxy S4 Forum and I promise you vill get help... It´s not that hard
There you can get help to flash back the stock firmware for your phone and to get everything to work again. Thankfully the Samsung phones are quite easy to restore.
Probably you will get help to get the right IMEI too... unless there´s something else behind the fact that it differs from the label. Perhaps a new motherboard on the phone after a repair?
Still... post it in the right forum and I promise you will get help

Lets suppose they changer the motherboard ....So why do i still get an imei that starts with 4457.......... IN the status
and the one under the battery starts with 35...........
Strange... I agree...
However... if you restore to Stock firmware via ODIN the you will probably be ok.
Again... take a look at the S4 Forum, you will se that you are not the only one with this problem. So your motherboard is probably the original one, the flashed firmware is probably at fault.
When you flash firmware for ANY phone, stock or modified, it´s very important to get the right firmware for the right model, or a fimware that is tested for your phone. If you want totally stock it´s very important that you get the carrierversion of the firmware (for example Verizon or At & T)
Stock firmwares can be found at Sammobile.com. There you can also find the tool you use to flash it... it´s called ODIN. Very easy to use if you make sure you follow the instructions and have the correct drivers installed on the PC
