how would i do that? when i first go into gingervolt it asks me to set the phone up and i try selecting english and it says activating and then says that there is no sim card found. is there a way around that portion. or some how keep those old setting to where i wont have to go through that part?

Have you tried this? http://m.androidcentral.com/bypass-activation-screen-your-android-device
This will bypass the activation screen allowing you to get to your settings.

[Q] Can't pair media link!

So when you get to the part to enter a pin... a mobile hotspot popup shows telling to contact att... and closes the process.
Has any one been able to connect to it?
...and remember, dont just say yes. explain how you did it.

I am having this same issue. I have spammed the connect button and gotten it to work, but that's all. I don't know if disabling the tethering guard would work or not, but that would require root. I just got the phone yesterday, so I haven't had a chance to root it yet.

ok just got off the phone, 70 min later, and she told me that they submited a case order that will "put their top scientists on it". (my words not theirs lol)
i will be contacted within 48 hours with an update, she said.

When you do the three finger swipe or click on the notification, it will take you to the media output menu, I have gotten it to connect by clicking clicking on the panel that says media link device. Normally, when it tries to connect, I get the message that says I need to contact AT&T to allow mobile hotspots, but sometimes after I click cancel and immediately try to reconnect, I am able to bypass the message and it connects. This is rare, so no, I would not say that it is working. I tried configuring the media link with my mobile data turned off, but for some reason, it appears like it is required.

Off topic but i hope you at least grabbed your unlock token just in case they block the ONE...

Any new news on this? I had the Media link since Day 1 and it's used primarily as paper weight... Folks should start receiving their back ordered media link and will be suprised that it does not work.. I hope a work around is around the corner

Anyone tried to GSM unlock it yet?

Both the Sprint HTC One and One MAX could be GSM unlocked by following this method - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2608910
Can anyone try it out and see if this works on the new One as well?

nice signature bro

I tried it, but it did not work. Hopefully someones has better luck then I did.

Did you get the vDm Client stopped working message before you tried to unlock the phone. Also which SIM card did you check it with. Just asking because it takes me 2-3 tries to get the phone to unlock on the One MAX. It's usually because the Omadm-SPCS file we change doesn't stick. You can check that by comparing the sizes of the files after reboot. Here is what I have found to work.
Change the file using ES/Root Explorer.
Dial *#*#4636#*#*
Go into 'phone information' and try changing the network mode to WCDMA preferred. You will get the message 'vDm client stopped working', thereby indicating that the file has been changed successfully. Sometimes even after that it used to take me 2-3 complete retries to get the phone to unlock.
If you have the time do give it a couple of tries and thanks for doing this. Will help a lot of people if we can get the confirmation of this working out.

I tried the same method have not had any luck, anyone else?
Did you do anything different from what I did.
Is the phone supposed to restart by itself? Mine only freezes for a few seconds in the simand does not reboot. I reboot manually but still does not work. Anything else that you did different from the instruction? Your help will be appreciated.

Unlocking Sprint G Flex to Cricket/AIO/ATT Wireless

This tutorial is my method for successfully unlocking the G flex to Cricket/AIO/ATT wireless with data/MMS, No battery drain, no Wifi calling drain.
1. Pros. Use Cricket/AIO/ATT sim.
2. Cons. Must dial International code +1 ( or whatever country code you're in) before every 10 digit number.
********Before we start you need to be on stock 4.4.2 sprint rom with Network Mode LTE/CDMA enabled************
(The roaming option does not appear when on GSM)
Next, change theme from "FLEX" to "LG". For some reason FLEX bugs out after the phone unlocks and causes crashes. (May be an isolated incident)
*Now we need to add the APN from AIO wireless into the Apn list by going into settings>roaming>Access point names
*The APN list will be blank and state "NO APNS" this is normal. Hit the menu button and add the AIO wireless APN settings from
http://buzzmobile.us/aio-wireless-apn-settings-internet-mms/
When completed you will need to press the back button and once again you will be greeted with a blank APN screen. Don't worry it's there.
Follow the instructions for root + unlocking the phone here. Total commander doesn't work on 4.4.2, don't use it, do it all with Root Browser (Get from Play Store).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50477852
After you are finished you should be rooted, successfully finished removing bloatware and left with a half unlocked phone.
Now navigate to settings/tethering and networks/mobile networks/Network Mode and change to GSM/WCDMA
**********************You are finished with this portion of the Tutorial***********************
*Fun Part*
1. Download Rom toolbox on your phone, the free/lite version is fine.
2. Navigate to build.prop editor
3. Find and change the settings listed..
ro.carrier=spr (spr to lowercase)
ro.build.target_operator=spr (spr to lowercase)
persist.service.crash.enable=1
Lets keep something in mind here... Once you change these settings you will need to restart your phone and you will be unlocked for Cricket/AIO/ATT networks, however, at this time you should know that if you venture back into network mode and happen to change your settings back to LTE/CDMA, you will lose the ability to change your network mode back to GSM UNLESS you revert the build.prop changes listed above. You can actively switch from LTE/CDMA and GSM by this method although I don't see why anyone would..
At this point you should have Talk/Text/Data/MMS...If not, you may have done something wrong.
**More funner part***
At this point in the tutorial your phone is doing two things.
1. It lies when it says its only on GSM/WCDMA
2. Rapidly draining the S#$% out of your battery.
We need the MSL Code so we may dial ##DATA# in your phone and access LTE settings.
Follow this Tutorial for retrieving your MSL code.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47324060
After you obtain the MSL pull up the phone application and dial ##DATA#(3282) Navigate into LTE and disable LTE/Band 26/Band 41
When you back out of the menu your phone will restart and stop continuously looking for LTE Radio.
**Final touches**
Remove all and I mean ALL sprint and preloaded wifi calling applications if you experience wifi calling battery draining. For some reason wifi calling spazzes out.
I'm not going to list the apk's because it may be an isolated incident and if you find out wifi calling is draining your battery just long press it in battery stats and go to "APP INFO" and find out what it is named and remove it with root browser...
I have been on Cricket/AIO wireless for two weeks now with HSPA+ and enjoying it.
This method may work with other carriers who knows.
**Food for thought**
1. When I change the ro.carrier settings from lowercase spr to ndo like in the APN i got a cool h+ instead of GSM.
2. I have not been able to wifi tether yet with cricket and I'm actively looking for a way now..
3. Think anyone else has issues with the FLEX theme crashing?

thanks.

If you don't mind how much do you pay? Will this work with a T-Mobile Flex? I'm pretty happy with T-Mobile since I got my discount back. I have 4 lines so it's around 25 bucks in savings a month.

It should work with t-mobile, i don't see why not, instead of ATT/AIO apn's just add a Tmobile apn and make sure that you have some time to play with the build.prop settings for example...
ro.carrier = spr can be changed to ndo and still work because "in theory" it matches the APN.
After adding the tmobile apn setting, changing ro.carrier to " t-mobile" to match the apn might work .
Try it out and see!
p.s i would leave ro.build.target_operator=spr alone, if all else fails you can change this too.

Thanks for the guide . I picked up a sprint g flex and lg g2 cheap, used your guide on both. Enjoying them on NET10 in the states.
patiently waiting for a custom recovery for kitkat on the flex.

interesting thread. i keep running into an issue though. as soon as i reboot after changing the stuff it reverts to where i was before and nothing saved. any suggestions? root is fine...
awesome stuff here i really want to see this happen on my flex!

Wont allow apn change
so i got stuck with a simple issue. when i go into the apn list there is an apn there already.
cinet.spcs
and when i press the menu key it is not showing the add feature to be able to add the new apn as described in the thread.

after doing these I noticed when opening Wifi it force closes and says "Unfortunantley, Settings has stopped"
only wifi that works is the one i used before doing these mods wont allow adding others
also have tried various wifi repair apps

working for me but getting tons of systemui crashes

Concerning the errors that appear often but I came out I did this : I returned and change in the build prop, spr for SPR capitalized and not returned to me the problem also remove the option to persist crash : 0 , take into GSM mode UMTS network selection mobile. I'm in version 4.4

Not working for me.
I tried this 3 times. Once with stock 4.4.2. Once downgraded to 4.2.2 and another time after updating back to 4.4.2 from OTA. All failed. Could not get any sim to be recognized. I am a smart guy and have done much more complicated methods of flashing, rooting, etc. for Android phones. But this just does not work. The phone states no SIM when I put my Cricket SIM in it. But when I put the Sprint SIM back, it reads it.
Any help would be GREATLY accepted. Thank you.
PS: I called Sprint because this is a clean phone. When I asked for the unlock code they gave me the MSL. I have a feeling that is incorrect but I could be wrong. After an hour on the phone, they said that is the unlock code. No matter how much I tried to tell them it's not.

Maybe this is a better guide for you:
http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-sim-unlock-sprint-lg-g2-ls980/
The Sim unlock does work, I've been using my sprint g flex on cricket for 6 months or so , but only with H+ .
You don't really need the msl or have the phone in good standing (blacklisted is OK).
If the Sim isn't being recognized that means you didn't do the folder replacement right. I had trouble at this part, which was solved by using the app "ROM toolbox". It took a few tries.
As far as changing the APN , just use any shortcut app on the playstore.
For switching bands, use the app " network" from the playstore. No msl needed.

Did you use the files from my link? Flex specific?
Don't use total commander.
What software version are you on?
Even after the FC, does it recognize your Sim?
You must also change the build prop, just realize the guide doesn't have that. Probably why your getting FCs.
Save a copy before making changes:
ro.carrier=spr
ro.build.target_operator=spr
persist.service.crash.enable=1

Sweet. Glad you got it.
The only trouble I have had with this method is if the phone shuts off or I restart, I have to switch the bands back to GSM.

would this work on LS995ZVB? thanks.

No Service on AT&T

I fixed this by going into the service menu and hitting "NV rebuild"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not talking about no LTE like some have reported, I have absolutely not service. No data, no voice, no 2G, no 3G, no edge, nothing. My unlock code came in tonight, I punched it in, it said successfully unlocked, and I'm stuck.
1. Device is not blacklisted. IMEI is clean. Phone status still has IMEI and baseband info.
2. I've tried multiple APNs and restarted after selected each.
3. I have bars, but no service is reported. If trying to make a call, it says "not registered on network."
4. I called AT&T to do anything on their end. Whatever they did didn't change anything.
5. I've tried searching for networks under "mobile operators."
6. Tried a factory reset.
If anyone can help, please let me know. Thanks.
Edit: My sim came from a nexus 6. Everything still works fine after putting the sim back in there.

Can u give more detail on how u fixed this? Thanks!

With help from your thread about the secret menu
I had initially gone in there about a week ago to see if there was any option to unlock like in previous models. I was trying to be careful not to change anything, but I guess I must have messed something up. Somewhere in there there is an option of "NV Rebuild." I don't remember exactly where it is at and I don't want to ever go back in that menu again :laugh:
