Hello I am new to android and the lg optmius 2x (p990) is my first ever android phone. And I am having some trubles with it.
I am looking to unlock it am I able to do this by "rooting" the phone to make it sim -free? it is curently LOCKED to fido (canada).
or what is the most simple way to unlock the phone? i have bought an unlock code but i get smome sort of neckwork error when i enter it making the phone still locked.
Thank you for the help and i am sorry if this is were it would not be.
Strange that give you an error, I did it with a friend's phone and it worked perfectly! Once we bought the code and put it all went smoothly!
Yes
Yes i bought the code punched it in the phone quickley read out a message and rebooted i poped in a new sim card nothing happend tryed another one still nothing no clue why..
the phone has never had a fido sim in it could this cause a problem? or is there a way to check if the phone is unlocked by not using a new sim card?
So are you saying you can access all features of your p990 but not the cellular network? i.e. you can access wifi and run apps but cannot make or receive phone calls?
If so, it sounds to me that you might have an issue with baseband/RIL. Try installing GETRIL from Google Play and see if you have a matching RIL for your baseband. If your phone is rooted, then you can use the app to update your RIL.
Nope that did not a thing it said it was all good and i even still clicked update and install then rebooted and nothing.. i may just have to call LG on this one
hi i have been trying to use my gsm sim with this phone but i still cant. i tried a pdf guide called gsm bionic (i cant post the link) , and when it finished i looked like it was unlocked, full bar and even received a sms, but then i get "no service". please help me
I bought a brand new sprint moto x xt1056 from a small sprint kiosk that was going out of business. I did not activate it on sprint. I planed to sim unlock it and give it to an associate who never had a smartphone to use it for inexpensive gsm plus data on any cellular carrier it would be compatible with.
For some time, I had the phone sitting, kept it fully charged, and from time to time installed apps or whatever to verify it was working perfectly.
Before I could get around to sim unlock the phone, it received an operating system update that seems to have partly clobbered it...!
Here's what it does now.
* When you start up the phone, it gets to the point where it says, "Starting services (spinning circle icon)" and then a popup box appears that says, "Unfortunately, OMADMClient_Sprint_DataService has stopped. OK (button)"
You tap the OK button, and it repeats that popup box again, and again, infinitely!
"Unfortunately, OMADMClient_Sprint_DataService has stopped. OK (button)"!
Other clues:
* The cellular signal strength icon shows empty (zero bars) which is impossible ... around here, it should be 3-4 bars out of 5.
* The icon for bad SIM is up top on the status bar. When you swipe down there's one notification, SIM error. When you tap it for more info, it shows the standard SIM card error screen... "Your phone needs a sim card to work properly. You may not have inserted your sim card yet, it may be inserted incorrectly, or it may be faulty. ...."
But the sim card is in there, and has been in there and giving no problem since day 1 when I bought the phone.
* I can get to the Home screen if I quickly hit OK to the "service has stopped" popup.
* Once at the home screen, I can get into Settings.
* I notice WiFi is off and cannot turn on! When I hit the icon to turn it on, it waits infinitely on the screen, saying "Turning WiFi on"..!!?
* Inside the Settings About Phone page:
Baseband version: Unknown (!)
Settings About Phone Status page:
Network: Unknown
Signal strength: 0 dBm, 99 asu
Mobile network type: Unknown
Service state: Voice Out of service Data out of service

Any suggestions, mates ??

I still have some serious troubles with this moto x sprint xt1056..
I got the MEID and IMEI numbers to come back, as well as mobile signal stregth and wifi, but it's still crashing about 100 times with the same popup message, "Unfortunately, OMADMClient_Sprint_DataService has stopped. OK (button)".
Also, unable to retrieve the SPC code from the phone using the SPCutility.apk.
Here's what I tried:
1. I unlocked the boot loader with the unlock code from the official motorola site.
2. I installed TWRP
3. I followed the guide by @samwathegreat to try to SIM Unlock the sprint moto x xt1056.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-success-sim-unlock-sprint-xt1056-t2825155
Unfortunately when I run the apk it says some error about how it cannot connect to the internet, so it cannot read the spc code, so, no unlock of sim by that route!
4. Flashed the nv-items text files, and they didn't quite work... phone is still throwing the infinite popup about the "OMADMClient_Sprint_DataService" ... it should not be crashing and trying infinitely to get to sprint, while there is no valid sim card installed, just an invalid sim....
5. When i try to flash downgrade to 4.4.2 I get errors.
I followed this guide from @ezeuba :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/rooted-sprint-moto-x-sbf-t2834891
I hear it's necessary to go down to 4.4.2 or lower, because they say that 4.4.4 made the nv-items read-only, which makes it impossible write the nv-item to sim unlock the phone.
Errors while trying to flash gpt.bin:
"downgraded security version"
"update gpt_main version failed"
"preflash validation failed for GPT"
Some of the files flash on to the phone without error, but when you start it normally, you still get the endless infinite crashing popup... even though, you can go into select the type of mobile network you want, CDMA/4G or GSM/UMTS... but that infinite popup makes it unusable, and WiFi is grayed out and impossible to turn on, so it's useless in this state...
Big question... How do you get this xt1056 phone working normally, no endless crash popups, and gsm sim unlocked, according to the guides it should be very possible. Probably missing something simple...
Any suggestions? Let me know if you need any more information.

it looks like your problem is different from normal sprint xt1056. i did one sprint long ago and it didn't show any of shared symptoms.
anyway, there are two options what i think can be done to get rid of.
1. root your phone with twrp and install some system app remover or es file explorer.
then using that root explorer/app remover, remove OMADMClient_Sprint_DataService. i dont know it is safe to remove this app but many times it is. because i have removed bloatware from ATT or verizon phones a lot of times with out any issue.
2. get some twrp flashable rom of XT1053 model and flash it via recovery. it will get rid of cdma stuff and give you pure gsm interface.

I'd gotten stuck, unable to extract the SPC code in Sprint's Android 5.1.1, using the steps provided, so I set aside this Sprint Moto X XT1056 for a time. Now I've come back to it!
I read on these forums, the reason for the SPC code being not possible to extract, is because, the phone performed an over-the-air firmware update to Android 5.1.1 and in Sprint's Android 5.1.1 it now blocks access to the SPC code by somehow locking that data block.
Furthermore, I've been unable to downgrade Sprint's Android 5.1.1 to Sprint Android 5.1. Not entirely sure about that? The flash fails and you're stuck on Android 5.1.1, it seems?!
Therefore, after you've upgraded to 5.1.1, you're stuck on 5.1.1, and you can no longer get back to Android 5.1 to extract the SPC code with the trick?
I hope this is not true.
I want to get the SPC code and then run any GSM sim on this Moto X 2013, it's a great phone.
1. Have you ever flashed this Moto X 2013 XT1056 to (formerly Cyanogen Mod ) Lineage 14.1 for its Android 7.1 Nougat OS ??
2. Does Lineage OS 14.1 allow access to the block containing SPC code??
3. On Lineage OS, is the SPC required to unlock the SIM and use any GSM sim??
I'm having problems when i try to unlock SIM card. when type 2945#*880# i get the error "no network or incorrect MMI code" (or something like that). i tried typing many other similar codes but none of them works. currently i'm using aosp 5.1.1. custom rom, and i tried also on cyanogenmod rom, but i get the same error.
i have read somewhere on this forum that cm doesn't have hidden menu, but i cant find original preinstalled ice cream sandwich rom anywhere.
can anyone help me to unlock sim card?
my service provider gave me the code for unlocking, but i cant access the option to put it and do the unlocking.
is it maybe possible doing it with adb?
You really need to go back to the last official ROM to apply the SIM unlock pins from your carrier. If there is really no way around it to go back to official ROM, then you can try your luck with the last Euro-open LG v20c JB ROM. I can see the UnlockMenu.apk is still there, but I am not sure if it will still work on non-carrier ROM.
