I have got phone with strange FW installed.
BL ver. 30.50
FW name factory_ghost-userdebug 4.2.2 13.9.0Q2.X-11
It works, but I would like to flash it to standard interface. How could I determine exact model of the phone? SKU in Barcodes: 0000...
Check the bottom on the back. The model number will be printed there in really small print.

No covers at all. That's the problem
Download CPU-Z in the app store. The system tab will show you model information. Mine reads: XT1053(ghost_retail)
Thanks to all. It was CDMA. Sprint. Now works in GSM
P.S. CPU-Z shows same info from Barcodes

Yeah, most apps that can/will tell you the phone's model will go by the ROM installed on the phone.
If someone flashes an XT1058 with XT1053 ROM for example, the apps, adb queries, etc will all say the XT1053 info.

Can you post a system dump? I'm sure it could be useful.
Not sure if OP resolved their issue, but in any case I suppose someone can use the imei and/or serial number to check online about info on the phone. those two numbers should be unchanged across ROMs. usually anyway. they can be found in About Phone -> Status or probably imprinted on the phone if the internals are exposed.
googling reveals a few such sites, one of the more reliable seems to be: http://sndeep.info/en
(I haven't tried it myself).

I have found right answer - radio version
fastboot getvar all
There are just 5 possible options:
0x1-XT1058
0x2-XT1060
0x4-XT1056 (including XT1049/XT1050?)
0x5-XT1055
0x6-XT1053

But again, what if someone flashes the XT1053 radio on an XT1058 device, or vice versa? Does that value change?
Something else that I know doesn't change is the CID... but I don't know all the numbers... Just that...
CID 0x00 = Verizon DEVELOPER EDTION XT1060
CID 0x01 = XT1058 ATT
CID 0X02 = Verizon XT1060 Non-Developer Edition
CID 0x09 = XT1053 All (as far as I know it covers all XT1053 variants.)
but those are the only ones I know.
Hi ,
My brother bought P7-L10 from Kuwait and it worked well using SIM card from there. But when he reached India and tried Indian SIM card , it's not detecting. Tried different Service Providers SIM card, but still it's not detecting. Please let me know whether upgrading the firmware will solve the issue or not. It's having Build No: P7-L10V100R001C00B126 . Please help me to fix the problem. I've tried factory reset, but it doesn't worked.

When you power on the phone, it is shown something else than Huawei (something like vodafone or orange)?
If so, the phone is locked on the respective network, and you must unlock it, like our collegue ranaji said.
If not, it is possible to be a cust problem. That means that your phone was made for a geaographic region, and it will not work properly with other networks than the ones on the specified region. If so, you must change your cust number.
First, you must see what your cust number is. For that, search on Settings, phone properties, the last line <Cust Number< and tell us what is it. Good luck!!!
The phone is a very good phone!!!

During power on, nothing else is showing other than Huawei. Then I think, as you said, it was made for a geographic region. Custom Version: CUSTC433D619.
I've done firmware update for the respective region, but it's of no use.
Please help to solve the problem.

As i told you you have to unlock it, the problem is not in update firmware.
you have 2 choices:
1/ contact the koweitien opérator to get your unlock code
2/ go to repair office to unlock it with phone boxes (if exist)

ok, to remove doubts, type this code in phone dialer ( * # * # 2846579 # * # * )
now you are in "ProjectMenu"
choose n°3 ( Network information Query )
now choose n°2 ( Sim Lock info )
if the phone is locked you will see " SIMLOCK_ACTIVE "
if not locked you see " SIMLOCK_DEACTIVE "

Hi guys, for developing unlock of Sprint v40, we need EFS backup from unlocked model V405QA (to compare some things between models).
You can do it by QFIL and QPST tools (to eliminate possible bugs)
Turn on Diag mode: In dialer *#546368#*405#, type 000000 in service code, then press SVC menu -> Port Check Test -> Enable.
Manual for QPST: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/guide-qpst-tool-backup-imei-nvram-t3455297
Manual for QFIL: Start QFIL. Open Tools -> QCN Backup Restore. Click Browse and save it in cozy place. Press Backup QCN.
After finish you should see: «Done downloading the qcn file: C:\temp\00000000.qcn» and «Finish Backup QCN».
Manual for NV-items_reader_writer: Set port, click checkbox right after 000000, click Connect, Click Read button right after Connect button, click Read in main window.
Dont forget to turn off Diag mode after.
Many thanks! Your help for community will be greatly appreciated.
Hi.. i was wondering if we backup EFS from Sprint unlocked and restore it to Sprint locked will unlock the network for worldwide sim card?
Would it do any harm or changes to Sprint locked v40's IMEI?
I currently owned a Sprint unlocked LG v40.. bought it from Ebay, put in my Indonesian simcard and works perfect.. 3G/HSPA+/LTE great

Probably yes, with crossflashing unlocked firmware it can be big win for locked sprints.
IMEI will not change, we are searching only for items that locking network to sprint.
Im away till 11 march, but if I can contact you and help with backup, it will be great.

So the job is to get both sets of efs locked and not locked then compare and take what makes the phone unlocked and copy that info into the locked efs then write back?

How did you crossflash?
Also i believe when cross flashing a v30 it doesn't touch the efs system either it just bypasses the lock its still there but because of the new firmware it tricks it into working thats what i was under impressions.

If you have a functional LGUP version and DLL for crossflashing V40, please share, this would be a huge help for many folks here.
I have extracted the DLL from the latest LM-V405EBW KDZ but haven't been able to locate a version of LGUP which will successfully flash the device.

Hii, I have a Moto x4 for over a year and I want to root it, use magisk and all that, but then I came across that some variants can be bootloader unlocked and so. All I know is that my model is XT1900-1 and I don't want to brick it because it's my daily phone.
My questions:
1) how do I know which variant do I have?
After answering the first question with my variant on next post
2)How do I root that variant? in case it is possible.
Thanks in advance.
Try going to Settings -> System -> About phone.
Then post your build number.
If you have the Amazon variant, you don't have the ability to unlock bootloader.

My build number is: PPWS29.69-39-2-4
3GB 32GB, Android 9, Security patch August 1 2019
I have Moto Voice for Alexa but no other amazon apps, just that app. I checked another info that says Alexa doesn't count.
If it doesn't have a bunch of amazon apps, it's not amazon variant. So I'm confused now
Bottom line, it is possible to root my phone?
Sorry, thought that the build number would reveal the variant you have. You must likely have the Retail variant based on your description.
By chance, do you have the box still?
It should say the variant under Regulatory Labels under settings/about or in very small print just to the right of the charge port.

Agreed...the model number should be right next to the charge port. Also an FYI is that the Amazon editions typically show advertisements on the lockscreen.
If the bootloader is unlockable then I am pretty sure you can root. Check the Moto unlock site and see if you can get the unlock code (you will need to input your IMEI and it will state it voids your warranty but since you are out of warranty it will not matter).

2nd question
What exactly is the benefit of cross flashing the phone with US unlocked KDZ or ATT Unlocked or any other KDZ?
What do you gain from doing it?
is there anything else I can do with my phone to improve it?
1) Yes.
2) & 3) More bands available to you/better compatibility for when you decide to leave Sprint for another carrier (make sure the phone is SIM unlocked first!), plus the ability to connect to more towers if you travel to other countries. Less Sprint bloatware.
4) Unlock bootloader and root device. Take full control of the tech you own!

I dont actually have sprint, I have Tracfone as my carrier and use the AT&T sim card
which KDZ would be best to use? I looked at LG Firmware and saw US Cellular but there's also the US unlocked one too
The only information i've seen about rooting and unlocking the bootloader is to contact someone that has a octoplus box

If you crossflash use the US unlocked.
Look here for unlocking the bootloader.
Once you've done that, rooting is as simple as using TWRP to load Magisk.

Get the US unlocked KDZ. I also had the Sprint model. Crossflashing to the US unlocked allowed me to use wifi calling and the additional bands for T-mobile.
