This is not mine, I take no credit, Mayrer has done most of the hard work for us, you credit him for his work and everyone he has worked on to get your Sprint to working for GSM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/spri...nlock-t3229801
I have only updated the information for changing in hidden menu and PropEditor. I also credit the maker for the CDMA to GSM Patch, Mentor.37 for his work and everyone else who has helped him.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2394689
I do not know if this will work for any other Sprint phone not on ZV6
Bands 2, 4, 12 are for bands T-Mobile.
Download PropEditor and edit these settings....Don't forget this step first!!
ro.build.target_operator=SPR => TMO
ro.build.target_country=US
ro.telephony.default_network => 9
telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice => 0 ....don't forget to save and reboot.
Along with Hidden Menu 5689#*991# to change your APN settings properly and set
Field Test => Modem Settings =>
PDP Setting => [5] APN Setting ...... now you have to select the bottom one then go into menu [ ] press until you see delete APN
you must do this because a bug I am seeing only allows the bottom APN setting to be used, I usually delete all until the APN I use is on the very bottom selection. no go back
Network Mode = Automatic => go back => RAT Selection = GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto
LTE Band Selection doesn't work proplerly so installing the modded Shortcut Master (Lite) from the link above be sure to go to
lotHiddenMenuMain (witout root) => LTE setting=> LTE Data Roam Config....and enable
Bar Roam Forced
Bar Roam Enabled
Roam Guard Forced
Roam Guard Enabled
Band 2
Band 4
Band 12 go back
Band 25 should be disabled unless you can use it. You cannot really set APN here.
I sometimes install the CDMA to GSM patch for global phones but I then have to re-do the PropEditor settings again, but it may be able to configure anything else that is missing, you can try to Adb Sideload the zip or use FlashGordon app to try to install, honestly I don't know if either worked for me for the patch.
This is what I configure to get my phone to working with T-Mobile.
I only submit this, I cannot provide support, you can always add on to anything else I may have missed or messed up, thank you.
Has anybody with an LG G4 rom version ZVG been able to successfully get their phone working on T-Mobile?
My phone is paid off and Sprint sent the domestic SIM unlock code. When the TMO sim is in and the phone's network mode is set to Auto, and and APN is manually entered per TMobile's specs, the phone can connect to the network and make calls, send SMS, connect to EDGE data, and sometimes send MMS, but it never connects to LTE. If I change the network mode to LTE/CDMA, the phone doesn't connect at all.
I read elsewhere to try change the "Bearer" field in the APN to "LTE" but that field is not displayed or editable in the APN input/edit screen. I tried a bunch of the Shortcut Master (Lite) or similar ways to expose the hidden menus to edit the full APN but they all fail due to permissions (because of ZVG version?). Shortcut Master (Lite) says it would work if upgraded to the paid Secret Codes version, can anybody verify that before I pay?
Or, any other suggestions to get this fully working with LTE or can even confirm that this is possible?
guys this is kinda old news
the build prop also is better set from
ro.build.target_operator=SPR => OPEN
then xposed modules such as android theme and such work.
but great find on thew band settings
ive been running my g2 g3 and g4 on tmobile and att and its subsidiaries for a long times now
and the g series sprint phones have been the best at taking to other networks due to the sprints already supporting most of the bands`
---------- Post added at 08:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 AM ----------
request for modderators to move this thread to the general area
i also thin the mellow mallow international roms go up to zvb which should work on tmobile and i can verify att networks
Doesn't the phone need to be rooted for the build prop to be edited?
And as far as I can tell, there isn't a root for a G4 on ZVG firmware?
Basically, to start with, can anybody confirm if a LS991 ZVG can be made to work on TMobile without root, or if there is a good rooting method, where is it?
Thanks.

Can you be more specific on what I need to ask Sprint about? Like I said, I asked for the the Domestic Sim Unlock and they sent that over the air and a confirmation showed up on the phone. It does not reject the T-Mobile SIM like it would normally, so something has changed from the default state.
Still looking for confirmation from somebody that has successfully connected their ZVG LS991 to TMO after a Domestic Sim Unlock.

This happened to me a few months ago. The phone is definitely capable and you will get LTE signals on the $60/month GoPhone plan.
1. First of all, call GoPhone customer support (611 from the phone) and confirm that they have your HTC One whitelisted for LTE. They're going to double check with you your phone's IMEI number (they can already see it, but will ask you for it anyway), and then confirmed that the phone is allowed to get LTE signals. They're also going to double check your APN setting and provide you with the appropriate entries for AT&T.
2. Reboot and see if you now get LTE signals. If you still don't get it, check whether your mobile network settings is set to GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto instead of GSM/WCDMA Auto or WCDMA Preferred (or maybe something else). If you don't see any LTE option, dial *#*#4636#*#* from your dialer, and in the first drop down box choose 'GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto' or anything with LTE just to make sure you can catch LTE signals at all. If you were able to find and switch to the setting you want, exit out, and go back to that menu, double checking if the setting sticks. If it does, reboot and try again.
3. Most people will get LTE signals after #1 above, while some were only able to get it after #2. However if you are unlucky like me, the LTE setting does not show up in mobile network and no matter what I do in the hidden menu, the setting won't stick (it's stuck on GSM/WCDMA Auto). I actually tried flashing a different radio at this point (a newer AT&T radio), but still... no LTE for me. What solved this finally for me is that I flashed a custom ROM (in my case it was ARHD 12.2). This enabled me to choose GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto under mobile network settings, and after that I was able to get LTE. It was great! :good:
Hopefully that helps. Good luck!

If you go to the main settings menu, then under Wireless & Networks, select More... and in the new screen that pops up, select Mobile networks, then Access Point Names, you'll have to find the APN settings for your carrier and add them manually if they don't show up when your SIM is inserted.

There is a way to access the APN list using a hidden programming menu. I don't know if the dialer shortcut will work on the version you have, but to try it, dial ##7764726 if it works and asks for a password, use 000000
One of the options should be APN controls. Hopefully T-Mobile US will be one of the APNs.
Is it possible that there might be a problem with your SIM card since some features work and others dont?

I'll try that.
It's US Cellular phone but I use T-Mobile SIM card, it was a brand new sim card. When I dailed, I kept getting "Welcome to Verizon Wireless"
Thanks, I'll let you know how it goes in a few hours.
According to US Cellular's webs site, their device supports CDMA/EVDO, since you are trying to use it on T-Mobile, you'll need to manually switch the phone to GSM/UMTS mode, or Global Mode. (App drawer -> Settings icon -> (under Wireless & Networks) More... -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode).
While in there under Mobile Networks, you'll also need to tap on Access Point Names... If the APN settings came down automaticlly from T-Mobile you need to select it. If no entry for T-Mobile exists, you'll need to find the settings and create one. (Google found them when I looked) NOTE: with Android JB 4.2.2 on my Verizon X (XT1060, also supports CDMA/EVDO in addition to LTE and GSM), the APN settings came down automatically. After upgrading to KitKat 4.4, I had to manually enter them.
When I setup my Verizon X for use with my T-Mobile SIM, I couldn't get MMS working for some reason, even though I was using the same APN settings as my T-Mobile Galaxy S3.
Also, keep in mind that T-Mobile uses 1700/2100 AWS for their HSPA+. As far as I know, only the T-Mobile version and GSM Developer edition supports this band, so you might not get "4G HSPA/HSPA+" with your X even after setting it up correctly. If you are lucky, and are in one of the areas where T-Mobile has completed re-farming their spectrum, you will get H+.
Good luck.

Based on that screen shot, your preferred network mode is still set to LTE/CDMA... that is wrong for T-Mobile. (SEE POST #12 of this thread!!) You want it to be GSM/UMTS or GLOBAL!! And you want to have the boxes checked for Data Enabled and Data Roaming.
You do not have options for Global Data Roaming Access and Access Point Names which I have on my Verizon Moto X, so that makes me question a few things....
In the first post you say you successfully unlocked your phone.. do you mean SIM Unlocked, or BootLoader Unlocked??
Also in the first post you mention seeing a message each time you reboot.. What exactly does the message say?
I ask because if you unlocked the boot loader, your phone could still be SIM locked and therefore not recognizing the T-Mobile SIM properly, and not giving you the Global options and APN options needed for GSM mode.

It is BootLoader Unlocked not SIM unlocked.

Yes, if not SIM unlocked, you're stuck. You need to get it SIM UNLOCKED.
Take a look at this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2422854 apparently some are using cellunlocker [.net] to get their X SIM unlocked, although they don't have US Cellular listed when I picked MOTO X from their list, so you might have to pick "Unknown" or "not listed" for the carrier.

I thought of adding this thread since, there are many people struggling to get 3G in countries other than US when they are using SIM unlocked Sprint One M8. Instead of answering many PMs I thought it is a good idea to share here.
100% working - Permanent
Using this method I unlocked 3G on couple of devices successfully and getting a speed of around 10.5MB/s (using speedtest.net-don't try to check the speed many times as the website absorbs most of the data while performing the test when speed is high-I am losing around 50MB per test)

What you need?
1. Unlocked and rooted S-OFF Sprint HTC One M8. Search rooting/S-OFF(may work on S-ON too, test it yourself) thread in this forum to know how to root.
2. Network App to change network type easy and quick - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mangelow.network

6. Basic knowledge
Procedure:
1. Unlock the GSM network using the SIM unlock method as in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2718150.
2. Turn CDMA network on using the network app from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mangelow.network. You may change the network type by using default network preference (if it is not greyed out) or use the code *#*#4636#*#*. For me the app works quick
3. Download MSL Reader from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.esccode.msl. And note down the MSL and save it as you may need in the future as well. Make sure you are on CDMA network to make this app work
4. Install QPST Configuration tool in your computer and make sure you have all the HTC drivers installed.
5. in the dialpad dial ##3424#. Enable Diag Mode in your phone (there will be a popup when you dial this number)
6. After enabling the Diag mode connect the phone to your computer via USB
7. Now open the QPST software in your computer. In the port tab make sure you can see your connected phone
8. From start client menu select choose service programming then click ok. Click on Read from phone
9. during this step the tool will ask for SPC, enter MSL obtained from MSL reader
10. On system tab (you may have to scroll right side) In the roaming preference choose automatic
11. On UMTS System tab :
A. Preferred service domain - Any, Pref Aquisition order-Automatic, Preferred network selection mode-Automatic
B. Under Preferred band table below select the checkbox Any BC (this selects all the bands)
12. Now click on write to phone tab, and now your mobile will reboot
13. dial ##3424# and disable diag mode. Using network app select WCDMA only to check whether you are getting 3G signal or not. Select GSM Prl mode which is pretty consistent and gives you stable 3G signal.
14. I suggest you all to try Bad Boyz Sprint ONE M8 ROMz which is stable+good battery life+good network coverage. Consider donating for that ROM developer @O.M.J.

That error is not a problem. Though you get the error it is written to the phone. Just check if you get 3G signal by selecting network mode to wcdma only. If you get the signal it's 3G enabled. You might not be getting edge because it messes up the apn setting.
In apn settings from menu select restore to default and select the right apn

Just simple , IT IS NOT WORKING METHOD , JUST FLASH NEW FIRMWARE
Well, its working method if you follow the instructions clearly. It will unlock different 3G bands, but in your location if there is no 3G signal it won't bring the signal. It worked for me and for few others too. The whole purpose of QPST s/w is to help with this. If you failed in the first attempt try again.!!

I live outside U.S and I bought XT1060 verizon Moto X yesterday. The retailer put my GSM sim inside phone and it worked fine without any errors. Voice, sms and gprs was working fine. Phone was 4.4.2 Kitkat stock rom.
Last night i went to settings > about > system update. and there i found that an update is available for 4.4.4. I downloaded the update and installed it successfully without any error. Now my phone is working like before but it can not register my cellular network anymore :crying: No voice no sms no data.
It sometimes grabs the signals and then drops and sometimes shows full signal bars with "No Service" network settings.
I have tried UMTS/GSM mode and Global mode but no use. With global version it shows some 5 digit number on cellular icon in notification area.
Please somebody tells me if Verizon version is sim-lock free then why i am having this issue?

I have the vzw too, without issues. Try a factory reset maybe?

Due to the FCC rules around the 700mhz C block auction in the USA which Verizon won, they do not SIM lock their LTE phones. And the 4.4.4 OTA on the XT1060 definitely did not SIM luck the X.
Please make sure that your APN settings on your phone are still set correctly for your carrier. If they are not, your phone will not work.
While in many cases the APN settings come down automatically from the carrier, sometimes the phone relies on a table file that is part of the ROM itself instead. If the settings don't come down automatically, and the table got changed (either settings for your carrier were removed, or are no longer correct for your carrier in the 4.4.4 update), you must manually enter them to have working services.
You will have to check with your carrier what the correct APN settings are, and check them against your phone, or visit the GSM Retailer where you got your SIM, and ask them to check it.

Which table file of ROM your'e talking about ? How do i know that my carrier is already listed in that table and how to edit that table since my phone is not rooted even.
For an update, i went a retailer and there was a guy who took my phone and did the trick and my phone gets the sim registered for Voice and data (3G). I couldn't see him doing the magic but definately he didn't rooted the phone neither he crooks the ROM every thing was in its place when i get my phone back.
So wondering what he might have changed after which phone started working normal.

If you are rooted, take a look at -> /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
That being said, you don't need to be rooted to MANUALLY enter APN settings via App Drawer -> Settings -> More..(under Wireless & Networks) -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names... But you do need the right values, and to enter them without any typographical errors.
Anyone have the lg v40 running on at&t? surprisingly i have no options under mobile networking. I can only enable international data roaming and setup new apn. Usually i'd expect to see settings allowing me to change the bands.

Everything is auto- , the phone I have is locked to att and I guess the only way to change that is to unlock the phone.

It bounces off 2 things, the phone's props and the network being detected. Using the unlocked does not enable settings if it's not natively supported by the carrier contrary to popular belief. That was true on older versions of android. Newer ones relies on multiple configs to decide what options you get to see or not. In most cases, if the phone model is not what is expected for a particular network, it will default to global roaming mode that has the least set of options. From what I've seen, this comes as a result of carriers requesting to have specifically designated models tailored to their service.
If you are rooted, you can tweak stuff in build.prop to have the phone switch carrier and regional modes.

root not needed:
1. for network mode, try dial *#*#4636#*#* and then phone information, this works on my v35 with tmo and att sim, you can also use a 3rd app called "network mode" which is a shortcut of the above, hope that works on v40 too.
2. for band selection, I use 277634#*# on v30(tmo unlocked) for both tmo and att sim; I use 277634#*# on v35 (both att unlock and usa unlock) for tmo sim; I use *#546368#*350# (need to dig into the menu to find band selection) on v35 (both att unlock and usa unlock) for att sim; hope either one of these two works for v40.
