Hi Guys
I'm pretty much a newbie when it comes to all this, but I've been using all the support/services/mods at XDA dev since when it was developed and the XDA's came out. Top site - great people.
I was wondering if you guys can help me, Ihave with me now an LS995 on Sprint (kk 4.4.2) which I purchased from the states. I'm in the UK, and I need it unlocking. I can manage to get the handset rooted (not via the ioroot option as that doesn't work for this handset). Once rooted I have tried the LS980 unlock final method - doesn't seem to work. So I'm stuck really, can anyone help please?
first you have to download an updated version ioroot you can also use the towelroot I worked my only had to use it connected to the internet and install SuperSU . I worked for me this process for unlock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2655133 .

Hey guys. Well I have an HTC One from Sprint and I wanted to sim unlock it. I didn't know that with android 4.4 kitkat it is impossible (so I've heard on diferrent places) and can't get a prompt for the unlock code when I insert a diferrent sim card other than Sprint. Turns out I needed to root my HTC One to downgrade the android version. I rooted my phone and flashed a 4.2 version on my phone but now I don't have touchscreen functions. I got pissed because everywhere I look for help the instructions are not clear or there is no step-by-step assistance, only a bunch of people saying "go to this site and do this and then download this and blah blah", when I follow the links I just get outdated info with more links to outdated info. So right now I just want my HTC One unrooted but with an android 4.1 or 4.2 stock version but I can't find any accurate, info for dummies. Can anyone help me? I'm kinda desperate by now. If you need any software info about my phone, kernel, radios or things like that just let me know. I'm so tired of searching with no luck that I just want some help step by step like a newborn baby. Thanks in advance!!
Maybe u should try to flash some ROMs like Viper, it will activate ur phone automatically. My sprint htc one is running Viper5.0, and i am using Chinese carrier SIM. The phone works quite well.

between 4.2 and 4.3 the touch firmware changred you need to have 4.3 or above to use touch and your recovery has to be the latest for the m7wls(sprint)example:TWRP 2.6.3.0 I would advise installing a 4.3 rom, if you want to downgrade your firmware to 4.1 you'll have to use an RUU OF THAST VERSION but you need to be s-off to do so.
I forgot to mention that the ROM I flashed was ViperBoy's Sprint HTC One 1.29.651.10 stock Odexed. I have TWRP 2.6.3.0 flashed as well. I am S-On right know.
The reason why I want a ROM below version 4.3 is to be able to unlock my sim with the unlock code. With 4.4 I can't make that happen because there is no prompt for entering the unlock code.

Hello guys,
I bought this Used G2 yesterday its Verizon version but its unlocked i don't know how they unlocked it but my non Verizon sim is working fine in it.
Now i want to upgrade to Android L.
I was checking the android version in phone and i saw that Chinese logo i have uploaded the image.
I Don't understand this what is this ?
My phone is currently using:
Code:
Baseband:
VS98024A-M8974A-AAAANAZM-2.0.20046
Kernel:
3.4.0-perf-gdf89a11
[email protected]
Build:
KOT49l.VS98024A
Software ver:
VS98024A
Don't know anything about recovery.
Now in phone it says its rooted
but when i try to install SuperSU it gives me this error (check the image)
Code:
"there is no Su binary installed and supersu cannot install it this is a problem!
Now my question is how do i upgrade this phone to Android 5.0 ? without loosing the ability to run my non Verizon sim.
Phone will always work with other sims since it is GSM unlocked . About that weird logo of yours, i couldn't really help but what i would do is flashing the 39A firmware once and for all so you can have Lollipop. Once from there, i suggest you to flash CloudyG2 3.3 so you wont suffer from battery draining and slow charge.
Good luck.

Hi everyone,
just tried to root my Tmobile USA, D415. however it says device is not supported. Did lolipop break root via this method? Any alternative methods?
While I am reading all the threads on how to do this, I want to make sure I'm not blindly using an outdated method. A pointer would be greatly appreciated.
Also, which method of installing a custom room would you guys recommend for installing a custom recovery?
I will continue to read for possible solution.
Thank you in advance
Anyone know how to SIM unlock LS995 for 4.4.2. carrier/property folder method does not work on 4.4.2. It works only on 4.2.2. Its Sprint locked mobile and I want to use it on GSM network outside US as i bought it as used one and get it locked while updating. Before update it was working perfectly. It also work it i flash stock ROM by carrier/property folder method but I need to update it on 4.4.2 for knockon or double tap.
Did you TOT back to 4.4.2? Glad you figured it out. The carrier replacement mod does work for 4.4.2, I'm using it right now on cricket/at&t.
Here's another guide, the g2 unlock is the same on the flex. Software is close enough. PM me if you have any other questions
http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-sim-unlock-sprint-lg-g2-ls980/
Also knockon is available on the playstore if you want to stay on 4.2
I just updated to 6.0 via official OTA on my XT1064
Bootloader is locked currently and everything is stock
I know I have to unlock the boostloader first but has anyone found clear instructions that they tested on the XT1064 to get root with the 6.0 update?
I found plenty of threads but they mix instructions for various models and versions of android
Im looking specifically for XT1064 and stock 6.0
I bricked my device already once previously and another time the rooting via boot.img caused wifi to stop working
I am not willing to use my device as a test subject anymore.
Anyone who has been able to root stock 6.0 on the XT1064 please help and simply point me to what worked for you
Thank you
