GSM Unlock for non root users. Change APN!!!!! Wip - Sprint LG G4

Not working yet..... Guys im sorry i let u down i really thought we had this in the bag.
i will attempt to get testers together and try a few different things. if not i will purchase another g4 to figure this out.
So new update download hidden call menu in first link below.
http://storagecow.eu/Xda/LG G5/Sprint LS992 GSM unlock/HiddenMenuCall_1.7.apk
So sprint just released a zvb update for the g5 which bars things in the hidden menus so this method is allready being locked down on g5 so im sure they will do it on g4 also.
Look for itson setting and enable or disable, whichever it is do the oppisate.
You should also be able to edit apn settings under iot and lte setting no root no msl needed
Update to orig instrucs. I know the rooted g4 unlock employs also having to shut off itson in the hidden menu to get rid of invalid sim card.
lotHiddenMenuMain (witout root) => LTE setting=> LTE Data Roam Config....and enable
Band 2
Band 4
Band 12 go back
i have not tried this as i do not have a g4 anymore but promised the g4 users i would continue to try to out.
thanks to all that have tried and faild on orig instrucs
the new update was brought to you by there failures
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g5/how-to/guide-gsm-unlock-sprint-lg-g5-t3574819
this is the link on the g5 unlock sprint also may be of some help
we have a confirmation it works guys.
Now suposedly this can work on any sprint lgs and lower sprint subsidiarys

also ive noticed since g2 g3 g4 and g5 stock message app wont send or recieve mms use another messanger for mms and text like i have always used google messanger

also these are not prmant unlocks factory reset will undo it and more note that some users have reported that using any kind of lock screen including swipe to unlock interferes with unlock

this is more of a settings mod than anything so again dont know if itll work but i hope so can mod the apns and they stick no root no msl too!!!!!!! hell yeah boys

I tried this while I was on ZVF and didn't have any luck, but I can't guarantee I followed the instructions to the T.
I can write up a quick guide today or tomorrow on building your own GSM/global ZVD ROM, with APN support and all. It'd be riskier, given that the flashing could brick your phone if you're careless, but it survives factory resets and lockscreens just fine.
I'd upload what I'm running, but for the next few weeks, I'm stuck in an area where the upload speeds are still measured in kbps, and I can't seem to mount large images on my VPS to work from there due to a lack of RAM.

Is it still displaying invalid sim card. On top of orig instrucs can u find the itson menu and shut it off.

Yeah it's still showing invalid. I haven't tried the itson menu yet

I just enabled itson and my metro pcs Sim card works in my g4, so if anyone else wants to try just enable itson and the phone should be unlocked

[Q] Sprint Ativ S Neo WP 8.1 Data Problems

I updated to the 8.1 developers preview on my Sprint Samsung Ativ S Neo and everything worked well yesterday. Today when I left the house I found that I can't access cellular data.
I've checked to make sure cellular data is enabled, tried profile updates, etc. and I'm stumped. I was hoping that someone could either direct me to a place where I can download a ROM to flash back to the stock version of WP 8 or suggest some additional troubleshooting steps.

That would be great. I read your post and it is definitely the same issue.
i have fixed my issue with some internet research.
adding manually the APN of the provider in the APN settings solved the issue for me.

Nevermind - Saw your post in the other thread - Vodaphone.
Who is your provider? Sprint customer service and two Sprint stores were clueless on what the APN should be. I asked the question directly. I have also done much searching and came up with nothing (that works) for Sprint.

Sprint apn settings
Okay, So I'm curious what the sprint apn settings are because nothing allows me to get MMS back working on my developer preview Sprint Samsung Ativ S Neo. If someone could post them that would really help.
The other thing I'm curious about is if anyone knows how to get back to standard windows 8.0 on my sprint samsung ativ s neo. I guess my data problems stem from the fact that I've done a hard reset on the phone and that's why MMS isn't working. I was able to do some tricks with activation to get data working but still no MMS.
Please someone post how to get standard windows 8.0 back. Thanks!

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

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.

Sprint ehrpd network type

So I have a Sprint Moto X that is stuck in cdma-ehrpd mode. Because of this I can't connect to LTE.
I've exhausted all of my attempts at fixing this including factory resets, APN editing and flashing SBF files using RSD and manually flashing.
I'm just wondering if any other Sprint users or Moto X users have ever experienced this or know what can be done to get my LTE back before sending it to Sprint to get fixed.
I am rooted and using Xposed (only for Gravity Box). Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I haven't gotten 4g for a few months. The problem is that any fix that involves the hidden menus requires me to have my msl number which Sprint would not release.
Anyone know of any method that works to get an msl number of the moto x?
I also noticed that my APN is different than my wife's. This wouldn't be a problem but I can't seem to edit or add my own APN and have them stay.

There is a apk called like My MSL or something to that effect, and it will give you your MSL code immediately, no calling Sprint or anything, but I'm pretty sure its not freeware, so Google will help. If I remember what website I found it through (there are numerous sources lately I believe), I will try to point you in the right direction. I try to keep my phone from ever falling back on to 3G, and without the code I'd be very frustrated, lol.

I went and dug the apk out of my Google drive, and I apologize for mis-labeling it in my previous post, but it is actually called "MSL Utility", the apk is "MSL Utility_1.0.apk". So, with that being said, I believe that I probably downloaded it off 4shared or GSM Arena or some similar site that disregards software license rules etc.

Call Problems

Don't know if this issue has been addressed but my Nexus 6 is 2 months old. Recently no one I call can hear me but if they call me back everything is fine. My phone is completely stock running 5.01 on Cricket Mobile with LTE working everywhere I go. Any thoughts or suggestions? I bought this phone straight from Motorola if this makes a difference.

Well, I've been searching the Q&A forum for this and at first, I haven't found what I'm looking for. I know I've read of this issue before though. If you want to try to get the OTA, here's a simple way:
Power off your Nexus. Remove the Sim card. Power on and let it sit for a while. Reminder, you won't be able to call or receive calls for this time. The OTA should appear shortly, especially if connected to WiFi. Install OTA and let the phone do its thing. Once all is said and done, reinsert your Sim.
Yeah, I have seen this problem on different forums myself with really no clear cut answer. Thanks I will try that for my update and let you know how it goes as far as the calls. Thanks!

No problem at all. Then it appears the Sprint issues do not apply here. Also, in settings>more>cellular networks, is your "Preferred network settings" set to global or LTE (recommended)?
It is set to LTE

As it should be, but you could try switching to global to see if there's any improvement. I think the OTA may solve this as well.
There is no option to switch back to global. After a factory reset it is in global mode if changed to LTE it will not go back. Also, I'm at work so WiFi in my part of the plant is very weak so should I wait until I get home to do the sim pull and then let my phone try to receive the OTA maybe overnight on my home Wi-Fi?

That would be ideal. I'm sorry we couldn't get it straight but I'm confident that we tried all of the stock options available. Your bootloader is locked, right?
Yes, bootloader is locked. And thanks for trying. I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow
So I did what you said as far as powering off, removing Sim and powering up. Let it sit all night like this connected to WiFi and still no OTA for 5.1 Also factory reset this morning and now I can't even receive calls and people hear me. Beyond frustrated!

Are you able to contact the provider and have them reactivate? That might be necessary. You may want to consider unlocking the bootloader, at this point, since you've already factory reset. You could then flash the factory image.

Also, in Settings>more>cellular networks- do you have an option to configure APN settings?

Cannot manually provision phone

Hello,
I have been trying to activate my new phone on ring plus. It is an LG LS991. I am on the ZV6 firmware. I have done a device swap and have been in contact with Ringplus. They said that everything that is OK on their end and my phone will not provision. I tried to enter ##MSL# and nothing happens. I do not see an edit menu. I am entering my actual MSL code just to clarify that. Is there a way to get a hidden menu on the G4 that will allow me to edit the MDN & MIN numbers?
Thanks!!!
Try ##873283#
Thanks did not work for me though. Would restoring a .tot and maybe reset it if its a software glitch?
##data#
Cannot really access anything from that menu, I am just returning the phone today because something is wrong with it.
LG g4 works on SIm card So u cannot provsion it mannualy
U need a Sprint Blank simcard to acitvate it
did you happen to modify your carrier folder from the sim unlock mod? Changing the permission of node.db and node.db-journal to all read write execute fixed the provision issue for me.

Any head way on this? How can you access the service menu to edit the MDN and MSID?
Thanks
I'm having the same problem. Can't get this G4 to work on old Sprint SERO - ESN is right but I can't update MIN or MDN any way I try. Anyone figure this out and could help?
thanks

Yeah, I had tried that. But it doesn't seem that any of the information will save properly; after a reboot, it still does not give me the right MDN. That is with or without the sim card. With the sim card ii, it gives me the last four of the cards ICCID as the phone number with 000-000-XXXX. Not sure if G4 just will not work b/c I don't have a SIM programmed (it is just an unused sprint sim)? But my sero plan is 3g only, really don't need the lte stuff or sim at all. Without sim card I just get MDN and phone number as 'unknown'.
I think this is probably easier with boost or another carrier; curious if ANYONE has ever activated a g4 on SERO basic?

Its CDMA. Its true sprint, its just an old employee plan. I never added in the LTE/4G service.
