I use gsm in Europe without problems.
Try, but first save the contents of your folder carrier.
LS991 + ZV6 + Cricket/T-mobile
I have problems .
does not disconnect the call.
It does not work data transmission
Cool. how did you guys unlock? Will sprint give me the code. I looked up the specs on the g4 and it has all the frequencies and bands that t-mobile uses. I was just hoping someone could confirm 100% before I left sprint.
I wonder what needs to be changed to get it to disconnect and pick up data?

A friend of mine is selling his T-Mobile g4 and I'd like to use it on att. Is there a way to unlock the att bands on the g4 ? I know the HTC variants of phones are basically all the same and easy to make them work with other carriers. Is the g4 similar?

i think you can. go into tmobile and ask an agent there on chat... am pretty sure you can as long as is sim carrier unlocked... and yes theres places ive seen they charge like 25 bucks if you search on google..

T-Mobile should unlock it for him upon request. From stock, there's a T-Mobile app to SIM unlock the device from T-Mobile. Have him unlock it from T-Mobile and you'll be fine. You shouldn't have issues.
I have had nothing but issues with sprint and used phones. I've gone through 4-5 phones now, every one says Activation status is "clear" on Swappa, but then Sprint can't activate it due to it not being payed off and Ringplus/Ting can't activate it either (FED). I've decided to try and just bypass sprint's annoying ways.
Am i able to at least unlock this myself to work with another carrier? Sprint won't unlock it due to the non-payment issue.
However, Some guy online says he can unlock the phone and allow me to use it on Ringplus, for $60. Is it even possible to be done? (Flashing a good MEID onto my LG G4 for example?) Or is this all in vain and I have no chance of using this phone?
Thanks for any help!
The Sprint LG G4 is GSM compatible. And you can unlock it FOR FREE....yourself. All you need to do is flash the GLOBAL ROM. V1.4 Global rom for the LS991 SPRING. ........ in the development section.
Then you have a GSM UNLOCKED phone. It will work for any carrier that offers sims for GSM service. You may need to configure the APN a little, but that is relatively easy and you can get help on the forum.

Looking to upgrade to an LG G4 and I know the H811 is easier for rooting and flashing.
Does anyone know if an unlocked H811 will work on cricket wireless?
Sorry if the info is somewhere already but I've looked and can't find any straight answer.
cricket wireless uses cdma phones I think so no go on the t-moblie version.

If your H811 G4 is sim unlocked it should work with Cricket as it uses the same GSM network technology. Cricket is the best prepaid cell provider because its prices are low and it is owned by AT&T and uses same cell towers. I had them for a year and their service is 100 times better than T-Mobile. Only reason I switched to tmo was for unlimited data. But now Cricket has unlimited data too.

I haven't purchased my G4 yet but now I'm thinking maybe I should get an unlocked T-Mobile G4 because of the unlocked bootloader. Should work with cricket as a lot of unlocked T-Mobile phones do.
And I'm on cricket's unlimited plan I can use a lot of data in month.

The Global H815 is unlocked from factory. I'd rather get that unless you know 100% the Tmo h811 is unlocked.

Hello XDA,
Do we know if we are able to flash the firmware of another carriers to the LG G6? I remember we were able to do that with the S6/S7 so that Wifi Calling and VoLTE would be fixed for users on Tmobile using an unlocked phone (Sprint unlocked phone etc). Since they had the same physical hardware.
I'll be getting a Sprint LG G6 from my job but I have tmobile, I can get it unlocked thats not a problem, but I need Wifi Calling to work. Has anyone tried to flash another carriers firmware on their LG G6 // do we know if they are the same hardware wise? Thanks in advance guys!
Is Sprint using GSM now?

The devices have been GSM capable since the S3. NVTOOLs usually has some flags you can flip to enable the bands/radio. Of course it needs to be clean ESN with Sprint, and internationally unlocked from Sprint.
Does any one know what i need to do to get my sprint lg g6 working on other carriers sprint says its unlocked but when i put at&t sim card in it does not register

Did Sprint just say it's unlocked or did they give you a code? From what I know they are suppose to give an unlock codes for Android devices and for iPhones they just unlock them. Your phone is suppose to prompt you when you put a different carrier SIM in and once you out that code in your permanent unlocked.
Can anyone second this?
I wouldn't trust Sprint. They need to give you the unlock code. I found someone to pay to do it. There are very few.
After crossflashing my sprint device to US Unlocked software since last year. I haven't gotten any updates since. There are like 2 updates released since then. Anyone getting the same issues ?
Attached are screenshots.
Use LGUP to update now. We're on 20e. And hopefully sometime soon, LG will release Android 10.

You cannot get OTA updates once you have crossflashed. You have to manually update via KDZ & LGUP.
What carrier are you using it on? I crossflashed my Sprint V405UA phone onto V405QA7 firmware but am not getting any VoLTE or VoWiFi at all (also rooted and bootloader unlocked). I'm on a T-Mobile MVNO, which should have VoLTE. Also, LTE Band 71 is a no no for me even though it's available in my area. My phone also only has 3 LTE band selection menus (I used shortcut master lite) that are very buggy and is missing the T-Mobile hidden menu.

Sigh the only thing I really can't take is the constant data loss during updates. I feel I'll hold out till Android 10
I bought an ATT v40 for super cheap off ebay but needed to use a verizon MVNO so I just bought a verizon branded one. Is it possible to get the ATT one to work on verizon? Should I change the firmware on either?
Edit: Also, I should add that the phone is SIM locked. ATT won't let me unlock it because they say it is still financed. I wonder if I should pay one of those unlocking sites to unlock it or return it?
How you made crossflashing?
