Verizon phones are not SIM locked, they will however complain the SIM is from an unknown source, and in many cases it seems that to get it to boot up requires a Verizon SIM for the initial activation, then everything will work.
Since this is obviously not possible for you, your best bet would be to manually upgrade to KitKat with the Verizon Software Upgrade assistant through your PC and then install an aftermarket ROM, which will not require the Verizon initial activation.

The LG G2 is NOT a SIM/carrier locked device, no recent Verizon Global device is, even if it was there is no ROM that can fix that, that information is not touchable by flashing a ROM.
Insert your SIM, setup the APN settings, and make sure it is set to Global or GSM/UMTS, reboot, and you should be good to go, the only thing you will get is an unrecognized SIM error on the lock screen and notification pull down, but it works fine. People are are using the vs980 on a host of GSM carriers around the world.
Dear All,
I have recently bought a used Moto X (AT&T) unlocked. Current system version is 140.44.5.ghost_att.ATT.en.US. My question is will updating cause it to carrier lock again??. Because it has downloaded an update and it keeps notifying. The downloaded update version 165.44.1.en.US. I am afraid if i update my sim won't work. So anybody has experience regarding this.
Thanks

I haven't applied any hack yet. I bought it used "unlocked". It has an AT&T logo on the back so it was locked to AT&T before. Now if i perform an OTA update.. will it get sim locked again. I do not mean or care for root. Just my sim should work. I hope i have explained well.

So, I went on and performed the OTA update anyways and its all good. The sim still works. The phone did not lock again.

good deal!
Once it is carrier unlocked, it will always be that way.

Sir to make this clear for you let me guide you through what sim unlock is: A Sim Unlock is performed over Cellular networks.. It does not have any I repeat ANY concern with the software of your mobile phone. When you unlock your sim through an unlock code the IMEI of your phone gets registered over Cellular networks so in easy words The unlock happens in air not on your phone. So whatever you do with your phone you will never ever be sim locked again because the IMEI of your phone has been registered permanently on the network when you unlocked the sim before. So feel free to do any kind of thing on your phone dont hesitate .
Hey People,
Thanks in advance for all your replies and help, really appreciate it ..
OK, So I have a Verizon LG G2, which I am using in Pakistan (also I bought it in Pakistan) and I am using it without a Verizon Sim. These sort of phones are common here which are used phones which come from US. They do some unlocking and make this phone accessible to every local sim.
I want to inquire that if I root it and install a custom ROM in it will it still work and use my Pakistan based sim or will it stop working and than it would need a Verizon sim to work
Currently it shows that it is unrooted.
Verizon LG G2
Hi,
If you wanted to know whether you will lose your phone unlock thingy, then nope. Unlocking a phone is permanent.
This has been a long back and forth conundrum that neither Sprint, Cricket or LG seem to be able to help me with. I purchased a used Sprint G4 on ebay and had it domestic sim unlocked over the phone with Sprint. I used it perfectly with a Cricket sim (mms and lte worked perfectly). A few days later I had to send it in to LG repair for the infamous "camera has stopped worrking" error. After getting the phone back (same IMEI), the phone no longer recognizes the Cricket sim card. It recognized a Sprint sim card that LG returned it with but not the original Cricket sim. I've contacted Sprint and they've repeatedly confirmed (after many insistent calls and chat messages) that the phone is unlocked. Cricket tells me everything is fine on their end, and LG tells me to ask Sprint to unlock it or provide an unlock code. Completely at a loss so any input would be extremely appreciated.

Don't know if I have that option. Lg returned the phone upgraded with Marshmallow zva
edit* Going to try to revert back to zv6 and see if it'll work then.
you have to be on zv6 first I'm not to familiar yet with this phone. I unlocked mine and had the invalid sim I had to do the build prob edit and then it took care of invalid sim but u have to be rooted to do the prop edit
** update
-Reverted back to ZV6 and rooted using this : howto-downgrade-to-zv6
-Then followed the sim unlock guide mentioned here: Sim unlock guide
Only getting 3G but calls are working perfectly which is much better than nothing. I'm going to read around the Sim unlock guide to see if I can tweak a couple settings to get MMS and LTE working.

Hello, guys! I`m using my s6 at&t in Ukraine, and it works perfectly with my sim. Firmware is 5.1.1 Is it possible to install 6.x and it is possible to get my phone locked to at&t after installin it? thanks in advance
I doubt that if your phone is a unlocked phone also known as a sim unlock phone that is that it can be used with any carrier would get locked due to a software update. Since you mentioned that you are in Ukraine and if it works with the local sim that means that the phone is a sim unlocked phone and would probably not be affected by a software update.
Also just use odin to update the phone
