LG G2 VS980 not detecting/connecting to mobile network..

isnt the VS980 supposed to be unlocked for GSM use ?
I am in India at the moment...i have 3 Verizon G2 phones...SIM cards work fine on 2 of them...On the third one...it does not detect the mobile network...sim is detected ,coz it gives no alert...and when i search for networks...the networks are shown...it just doesnt connect to the network...the sim cards work fine in other phones...in the other G2 phones and in a HTC DROID DNA...so its not the sim at fault....
Have tried multiple SIM cards from Vodafone/Loop Mobile/Airtel...none of them work on this particular phone..
When i search for networks...im getting networks...but cant connect to them...most times it shows error while searching for network...
What can be the problem ?
Please help me out...otherwise will have to send the phone all the way back to USA...

if i am right... verizon phone is unlocked to all US carriers only....try to verify if its globally unlocked
EDGE/GSM (850/900/1800/1900), HSPA/UMTS (850/900/1900/2100)*
those are the frequence bands it support.
India support 900 1800
So technically it should work..
try *#06# to check if it shows imei number and other is to try to unlock phone

I got 3 Verizon g2... 2 of them work fine with Indian sim cards.
The third one is facing this problem.. I thought the IMEI was lost.. But IMEI is still intact and dame as that on the box.. Also Verizon g2 has no unlocking system as it is already unlocked..
That ink which u posted says it is unlocked for us carriers.. And not that it cannot be used outside the US.. People use it in UK, Australia.. Mexico.. Germany.. To name a few..
It seems the efs partition is corrupt but I don't know how to fix that as I have no backup..
Also if it wasent unlocked the sim won't be detected.
When I search for networks, the networks show.. It just doesn't connect..
The problem exists only in one of the 3 phones..

Ok then install custom rom and try with that.
I can recommend you for cloudy g3 rom. Best one out there
If your phone is not rooted and no custom recovery then open towelroot.com from your phone and install apk and it will root right a way
Then install rashr flash tool from play Market and install twrp recovery.
It's the easiest methods to install custom recovery and root I can recommend.
I hope this will work for you and don't forget to setup apn setting if data plan not working

I have a very similar problem. Using a SIM with 850 mhz HDSPA provider LG G2 works.
But when I use a SIM at 900 mhz, I got only voice. No 2G even.
Ideas?

Fixed for me. I rooted the phone. I installed the cloudy rom, based in the D802 version of LG G2, now, the phone works perfect. No issues at all.
I suggest change the rom and try other software.

does the phone have a big verizon logo in the back or in the screen? Then yes, it's a VS980. Pick that option in the aroma installer.

VS980 not picking LTE Frequency
I am from Pakistan and I have the same issue. Did anyone find any solution?

Ihave thisproblem too

I am using Verizon G2 32gb.. and yes... signal reception is so so soo poor.. at same locaiton, others handsets with same network are receiving very good signals while its on no network :/

Not picking any frequency or signal at all
Upgraded my VS980 to lolipop and after a couple of days same thing happened to me. I am in Pakistan btw. Sim is working fine on any other mobile. Have tried restoring to stock nothing happened. One thing i want to add is when i change my location sometimes for a couple of minutes, network do appear. But it does not makes call or uses data then it again gets to emergency calls only status... Phone is no better then i web browser now.... Help needed

Also not connecting (But it detects networks)
I have an lg vs980 and I was using it with H2O wireless and later I changed to Simple Mobile. I'm living in Puerto Rico. The phone was working all right and, suddenly, one day it was always displaying 'emergency calls only'.
I did factory reset, then I reflashed stock lollipop and it was like nothing happened, keeps displaying 'emergency calls only'.
Then I found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2394689 and applied the patch but didn't seem to resolve the problem.
As a last resort I tried flashing cm 12.1 and before first boot applied the patch from the cited thread but no result, keeps displaying 'emergency calls only'.
Has anyone found a solution to this problem?

I ask for help from Spain for my d958 Flex

Hello everyone
First, apologize for my bad English, I use Google Translate
Buy my Flex d958 in forum Spanish (HTCMania), after 2 weeks started to restart, what format factory and seems to fix it, a few days later stopped working wifi and bluetooth, install the stock rom for my model and I stop recognizing my sim card.
And I tried everything, and installed KDZ, also TOT + DLL, and remains unresolved.
The phone lights up perfectly, and works everything but the WIFI, bluetooth and sim.
I hope you can help
Thank you very much from Zaragoza (Spain)

you obviously used the rom for the wrong variant, so put ur phone into download mode and open the LG mobile support tool and let it do its job....hope it helps bud
or if u still want to use .kdz files
http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G+Flex/Stock/
go to that site and download either of the .kdz files for the "hong kong" variant
then flash that problem should then be fixed

neither can make or recieve call when my network is set to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto mode

I have a LG G Flex model LG-D958. I have this weird problem with making or receiving phone call. If I set the network mode to only GSM mode, then I can make call out and receive incoming phone call. Other than this setting, example when set to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto mode, I could only access the internet network in WCDMA or LTE or EDGE mode for DATA access BUT could not receive or make phone call. If I make a call out, it will cut off after several seconds. When I tried calling to my this mobile number from another phone, I could only hear the annouced voicecall telling me that it could not be reached at the moment. Then, when I set it back to GSM only mode..then making or receiving call is back to normal.
My ANdroid version is 4.4.2. Can someone advise me what I can do to get my Flex works again? Thank you

This is an L23? Where are you located? Its to my understanding those are sold gsm Sim unlocked.
Is this a new Sim card? Is it a GSM network Sim?
Have you changed the software at all?

My model is LG-D958. I am not too sure what you meant L23?
I am from Thailand but currently in Malaysia.
Yes, this model is sold in THailand with open sim.
Yes, it is a new Sim card with GSM network that include 3G/4G network access.
THe software I see from the phone setting is D95820d-IND-XX; Android version is 4.4.2
appreciate your help..thanks

I'm not sure why you would have to change these radio settings at all. It should work right out of the box, except for your carriers specific APN settings.
Have you tried a factory reset? Start from scratch? Have you made any software changes?

Yes, it supposed to be.. I mean it works for everything except cannot make call if I set it to GSM/3G/4G auto mode. I have done a hard reset but the problem still persists. I was given this phone by my cousin and I am not sure whether any softwares was changed BUT I understand that the original Android version should be 4.2.2 - but now it is 4.4.2, do you think this could be the reason that is the cause of this weird problem?
Maybe it is good to totally unflash and reflash it back to its original software version. Can you guide me to doing this?
THank you

Or is there any way that i can run a diagnostic test from within the phone itself? Please advise too, thank you

According to the lg website it should only be on 4.2.2.
http://m.lg.com/au/smartphones/lg-G-Flex-D958
I think a fresh start using the lg flash tool would be best.
Make sure you get the right firmware/tot, for your model.
Can you ask ,whomever you got the phone from what and why he changed the software?

Yes, I have tried flash already but that only update the phone firmware BUT the Android version could not be changed? Any guide as to how I can flash the entire phone to its original firmware that comes with Android Version 4.2.2.? Thanks

Anyone can help advise me how I could downgrade android version 4.4.2 to 4.2.2. in my LG Flex Model LG-D958?

On the LG website, or ask someone on the L23 section. Someone may have posted it already.

Original Moto X "No Service" issues

I have a stock original Moto X (2013, XT1053), GSM unlocked US (via T-mobile) running KitKat, which I bought without contract when it first came out. Never tried rooting, flashing, etc.
I'm having an issue where it won't connect to the mobile network. The reception notifiction icon shows no bars, just an empty triangle, and an exclamation icon saying "No Service" and "Selected netowrk (GTA) is unavailable". I went to the carrier (GTA, in Guam) and tried switching out the SIM for a new one, and that worked for a week or so and then the problem recurs.
I tried re-inputting the Access Point Names, rebooting, re-inserting SIM. The phone detects the SIM card, and I downloaded some apps which confirms I can see the SIM card info. If I choose "Available networks" the phone shows a correct list of all the local network operators.
I suspicious this is a hardware problem, because if I put the SIM in an old beater Nokia candy-bar phone I have, it works. I'm hoping there's some reset I can do short of buying a new phone. Is there or am I out of luck?
BTW, my understanding with this phone is that I could request the access code to root it (want to back it up with Titanium), but I don't see my model listed on the Motorola page. Am I wrong that I can get root on this?

XT1053, right? Can be unlocked officially.
But first flash any official KitKat ROM on it, 4.4.4 or something.

Can be hardware problem (bad BGA contact on board), but be sure first it's not software to blame.

I thought so too, but the the page you show points to the following link: motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/87215/ which doesn't list my phone. I will try it and see.

So there's no way to get a Titanium backup (since I need root) before the reflash without losing some content?
The "Unlocking the Bootloader" page says: " You will lose all media and content on your device and will need to reinstall all applications downloaded from Google Play."

Link is correct, goes to STEP 1 of unlock procedure. You should log in, or register, to be let go to STEP 2.

Yes, official unlocking procedure wipes all data from phone. You can use Migration app by Motorola. Titanium needs root, unfortunately. There are different root-apps like KingRoot, KingoRoot, don't know their qualities.
Did you try to boot into Safemode? Press and hold your phone's power button for a few seconds until Android prompts you to turn off your phone—just as you would normally do to power it down. Next, tap and hold Power off for a few seconds until your phone asks you to confirm that you want to enter safe mode

no network
I have a Moto x xt1060, it was working very good in india with airtel but recenty i just put a jio 4g sim to check if it support or not hten when i inserted my airtel sim again there is not network, its says 'sim card is not from verizon wireless' plz help me what to do? in recovery mode it says device is locked status code 0

Well I couldn't get this to work. Anyone have any other ideas?
Just to update what I did, I unlocked the bootloader, updated from 4.4.4 to 5.1, including the 2016-04 update (222.201.1.ghost_row.Retail.en.US) with an updated baseband (MSM8960PRO_BP_23255.138.89.00R). I had to update somethings with mfastboot, one of which caused a boot loop, but fortunately that was a known problem, remedied by updating more things with mfastboot.
All for naught, though, as the cell phone functionality works sometimes, but often not. Still not sure if its a software or hardware problem, though hardware seems more likely. It's a shame, as I'm definitely not a frequent upgrader and I use my phones until breakage or obsolescence.
I can't think of anything else to do. I don't think I did another factory reset since the last update, but I doubt that will help.
It's also unfortunate that there doesn't seem to be a good replacement in this size/speed category. Pixel 5 maybe, but it's more than I need in a phone, and larger besides.

same issue ... any updates

How should I downgrade or enable GSM/WCDMA option on Sprint LG G4 LS991?

Hey, guys this is my first post here on XDA so please apologize me for any inconvenience.
I bought LG G4 Sprint i.e., LS991 yesterday from someone else I don't have contact with him now. The sim card which works on 3G was working fine when I bought it. But, then I tried to go in settings and then to mobile network and I opened the list of network bands and unfortunately I was only able to find only two option that are 1. CDMA/LTE and 2. CDMA.
I was forced to select one from it and boom no signals at all and status says searching for service. Where is the GSM option? I'm sure that this phone is already unlocked and it is from Sprint.
Also, I'm on the latest software version that is LS991ZVD. Can I go back to ZV6 International ROM or will it brick my device?!

Bro, I found this on this site:
1. go to settings and add new APN manually (fill the values according to your carrier).
2. in the APN type input "default,dun,fota".
3 .save.
4. Restart phone and you are good to go.
Works like a charm... The signal loss thing happened to me too. Don't select either option after you fix it. Go to backup and reset and reset your network settings. I think this is what I did to solve the problem.
