UPDATE 12/2/2013: The tutorial will remain for users who would like to change their own settings within the ROM or just like doing things themselves. However, I have included a Google Drive link to a modded ROM to skip most of the process, meaning you can just move this file to the root of your storage and flash and go from there. The link will be under Resources and I will try to update every Friday, no guarantees as I go to school and finals are coming up.
Hey guys, today I have a tutorial for anyone attempting to install MIUI v5 for the LG Optimus G LS970. I myself was totally hooked on this ROM seeing as it is totally different from Android yet still holds true to a lot of what Android is. Some setbacks are that this runs on Android JellyBean 4.2, a little dated for certain people and also not all options work, and you can scour around to figure out what those are as I personally have not testing everything. I do know that NFC is having problems and some people are having issues with phone services but there are workarounds that I will list in the resources below. Now for the tutorial.
*Note: This is what I did to get this to work based on the information found in the LS970 thread for MIUI v5 (linked below) and my constant attempts to see whats wrong, Im in no way a professional nor a developer just a user who wants to get things done. This may not work for everyone. If your phone messes up, I hold no responsibility as you did this out of your own choice and you have been warned. Credits go to siulmagic for the LS970 port and the work he was able to do with it, hopefully he can continue development. Credits also go to 2nd Sky for providing the basis for the tutorial. Links to their profile will be listed in the resources as well.
--Tutorial--
You will be flashing the F180/E975 ROM version of MIUI v5, and it is said you must install the recovery for the E975 in order to flash a ROM from this device, however this was not needed.
The following files will need to be downloaded:
7-Zip: http://www.7-zip.org/
LS970 MIUI ROM: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877489996359
F180/E975 MIUI ROM: http://rom.miui.com/download/view/359381#top (click the red button to download)
Custom Recovery: http://www.mediafire.com/download/ta3ecb4r4cq0b99/TWRP-2.6.3.0-LS970(sprint).zip (This is the latest TWRP version, but I used version 2.4.4.0, yet I do not think this matters)
Step 1: Install 7-Zip onto your PC. Once you have all files downloaded move all of them to the ROOT of your phone EXCEPT the F180/E975 ROM. This will not work if the files are not on the root as I have come to notice.
Step 2: Open up the F180/E975 ROM with 7-zip (it is a zip file). Navigate to the updater-script file and open it with Notepad (the location of the updater-script is META-INF-->com-->google-->android). To open with Notepad just double click the updater-script file and you will be ask to choose a program, choose Notepad of course. DO THIS ALL FROM THE ZIP FILE, DO NOT EXTRACT ANYTHING.
Step 3: With updater-script open, you will delete the following line:
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "e975" ||
getprop("ro.build.product") == "e975");
That includes the semi-colon. Save the file within Notepad and close. Once you close 7-Zip will prompt you that the file was modified and if you would like to save, hit YES. This will now modify updater-script within the zip file. Let that finish and now the zip can be moved to the root of your phone along with the other files. OPEN UP UPDATER-SCRIPT WITHIN THE ZIP TO MAKE SURE THE CHANGE WAS MADE, I GOT AN ERROR WHEN I TRIED FLASHING AND IT WAS BECAUSE 7-ZIP DID NOT SAVE THE MODIFED UPDATER-SCRIPT. CLOSE THE ZIP FILE AND RE-OPEN IT AND CHECK ONE MORE TIME BEFORE TRANSFERRING TO THE ROOT OF YOUR OPTIMUS.
Step 4: Now flash install TWRP. If you do not have a custom recovery to begin with you can download Goo Manager from the Play Store and install through there and update if required. I did a dirty flash of MIUI, meaning I flashed without factory reset or anything. There is no need for GAPPS as they are already built into the ROM. Go into your custom recovery and you will want to flash the LS970 ROM. If all goes well it will install without problems and you can reboot into system and setup MIUI. If you get errors during install or afterwards, try wiping the system within TWRP and try again. All you want to do is just get to the homescreen for MIUI.
Step 5: Once you have been sent into the MIUI homescreen for the first time, you will boot into recovery again and proceed to flash the F180/E975 ROM. There should be no issues and the flash should go smoothly. There is no factory reset or clearing of cache because MIUI takes this as an update to the previous ROM, so when you boot back into MIUI you will go directly to the homescreen. Now, reboot back into recovery for the final time and wipe data then factory reset and reboot into system for a nice clean MIUI v5 setup. Enjoy your new ROM!
--FAQs--
Ask them in the thread, questions will be added to this post as well as their answers and whoever answered it.
1. Can this ROM be updated?
Yes the ROM can be updated, however OTA does not work currently until someone finds a fix. A workaround is downloading the updated ROM manually from the website (or on the phone) and following the instructions listed above and then flashing the modified updated ROM. Unfortunately this takes more time but if you want an updated MIUI v5 this is the only way to get it as of now and as of my knowledge.

Nah lol I tried replying to the LS970 MIUI thread but couldnt because I needed 10 posts, I really wanted the ROM and it wouldnt work for me. Once I figured it out I felt other people had problems so I just wanted to help, might as well. Thanks though

Nice write-up, dude! This is sure to help everyone who wants to run MIUI, including myself. Quick questions, how's it running? Like with data, MMS, SMS splitting, all that good stuff. I know we have some problems with our native build, so does the newer updates fix stuff? And speaking of updates, do they work flash and work properly? Thanks once again!!

My phone is not activated under any carrier so I cannot test things like that. However I can say the camera works generally good, its a stock Android camera and has features youd expect. Focus works fine unlike on the LS970 MIUI build where focus for some reason wouldnt work. Newer updates do fix things and you can few changelogs on the MIUI forums. Unfortunately OTA does NOT work but you do download the update, it just fails to flash and Im currently trying to figure out a workaround. I will post my findings to the OP if I get it to work.
So theoretically, if I go into the updaterscript, and change the APN's, the ROM should work just fine?

Might be safer for us to dirty flash over our working build.

If you dirty flashed the e975 version then it would fail while installing correct? If the updater lines weren't removed I don't see how it wouldn't fail.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
I havent tried dirty installing over the LS970 ROM without removing those lines but it does not seem likely to work at all, the ROM is basically being told the phone is an E975 and to update/install E975 firmware. Removing those two lines skips this entirely and the ROM simply flashes. However in the phone information MIUI will display that your phone is an E975 rather than an LS970. As for the APNs attempt that within the ROM, I was told they work but that certain APNs may not for reasons unknown.
Can someone post up the modified file? I only have a cellphone so I can't try this.
My new USB cable comes in tomorrow so I will be able to test my update workaround seeing as my current USB cable does not like transferring files for some reason. If all goes well I will post a modified ROM file for those who cannot do it themselves and people will need to return here for the modified ROM file to flash to update the firmware, or you can download the original firmware from the MIUI website when an update is available and follow the tutorial.

Alright guys here is the zip that worked for me after I tweaked the network in the build prop and deleted the updater script lines. Install the ls970 miui as normal (wipe system,data,cache,dalvik) and after you reboot and get to the homescreen go back into recovery and dirty flash this zip (don't wipe anything). I can confirm that 3g works and gps locks for me. Hope this helps some people who want to give miui a try. Let me know if the download link isn't working. http://www.4shared.com/zip/vZYCphn2/miui_f180_rogue_31122_1f540bef.html?

Weird. I noticed that after installing the new apns and rebooting I got the phone force close and lost service, however with just dirty flashing my zip over the ls970 miui I got 3g at least to work and show service.

Purely AOSP is a redistribution of the Android Open Source Project code that I have lightly modified, and cleaned up enough to make as a daily driver for those people who are like myself and want a clean pure android experience. This project won't focus on adding features and mods but instead focus on stability and fixing some of the small issues left over from the AOSP project, so yes this is a CLEAN ROM my only modifications will be to make it look more polished and complete.
I barely ever use the "Google" experience so GOOGLE APPS ARE NOT INCLUDED AND NOT SUPPORTED meaning that if you flash this ROM the base is stable and very bug free and since there are a few different versions of Google Apps floating around once you flash one of them and run into an issue I CANNOT HELP OR RESOLVE the issue YOU WILL HAVE TO CONTACT THE CREATOR OF THE GAPPS package that you use or turn to the community for help, BUT GOOGLE APPS DO WORK with this ROM ........
Lastly the ROM is "pre-rooted" using SuperSU if you do not want root you can remove SuperSU by going into its settings and selecting "Full unroot" this will delete the SuperSU apk from system completely removing root.
What Works:
Everything !!!!
Whats Broke:
Nothing !!!!!
If you have an error or something pops up I ask that before you post about it please make sure that you are running the ROM as provided. I cannot troubleshoot anything that is related to using other kernels, mods, google apps, or themes.
This ROM is basically a AOSP stock build of jelly bean so there is not a need for screen shots ........
ROM: 8-5-12
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?l68tjc6ulv9fxo2
Flashing Instructions:
1. flash rom ota zip
2. flash g-apps if desired
Always remember that XDA started out as a great place and will remain a great place as long as we are great to each other anything used in this ROM is available upon request and feel free to use this as a base rom for any other project my ROM is un-branded just give me some mention .......
WANT TO CUSTOMIZE THIS ROM READ THIS:
Like the ROM and want to add or remove anything or customize for yourself use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246 DSIXDA's Kitchen. Its a great kitchen for customizing prebuilt ROMs

I'm not getting any of that here. So far everything seems to be working.
This is the first JB ROM I've tried so far. The only negative I've noticed is that the ringer and notification volumes are really low even when maxed out.

Wipe data
Wipe cache
Go into mounts and storage and format /system
Go into advanced and wipe dalvik.
Then flash your ROM gapps and the root.zip.
Reboot.

It worked thanks.
So I liked the ability to do the color differentiate thing and other little mods I noticed with the new camera... but I don't like the builds we have right now as I'm seeing to much TouchWiz lag in them... (came JB lol) so I just pulled it from WildChild's rom.
You need to install it by renaming the old camera file (located in /system/app) SamsungCamera.apk.bak this is as a backup just in case you dont like the new app for whatever reason.
copy and paste the file to /system/app/
reboot
Then it should work. Check permissions as I did and it wasn't set properly even though the camera functioned properly...
Easier then I thought and wrote up.
Be sure to wipe cache after all is done just in case as @DocHoliday77 suggested.
Yes I just did this process all over again.

http://i45.tinypic.com/1zxxrux.png
http://i49.tinypic.com/jkaz9i.png
Confirmed on: Wicked [v2]
I'm sure this will work on any TouchWiz rom, waiting on confirmations.
any questions ask away I'll check frequently and update post if need be...
I tried this and wasn't able to get the camera to work. I'm running stock rom on tmobile but have upgraded to the UVLH2 radio.
I renamed the SamsungCamera.apk to SamsungCamera.apk.bak
I copied the file you posted to the /system/app folder
I set the permissions to what you posted in your pic
I rebooted and when I tried to use the camera I got a force close.
I rebooted again and still got a force close error.
I then tried installing the camera by clicking on the apk in root explorer. It told me the camera failed to install.
At that point I just reverted back to my old camera app. Is there something different I should be doing?
Looks like i should right the instructions a little better... I'll do a better right up in a little bit when i can get to my computer.

updated, it's actually stupid simple copy and paste, and reboot that's all I did and then took a picture.
@mt3g
What rom base are you currently on?
Reason I ask is cause there is quite a change between the first two and the latest update.
If you're on an older base some things from the latest may not work correctly.
If you are running one of the first two, and it works fine then at least we know that's not the case here.

I tried this and wasn't able to get the camera to work. I'm running stock rom on tmobile but have upgraded to the UVLH2 radio.
I renamed the SamsungCamera.apk to SamsungCamera.apk.bak
I copied the file you posted to the /system/app folder
I set the permissions to what you posted in your pic
I rebooted and when I tried to use the camera I got a force close.
I rebooted again and still got a force close error.
I then tried installing the camera by clicking on the apk in root explorer. It told me the camera failed to install.
At that point I just reverted back to my old camera app. Is there something different I should be doing?

Whenever you replace an app in /system/app, its a good idea to boot recovery and wipe cache and dalvik. Try doing that and let us know!

Alright that's good, need other's to try it out and see if we got lucky, I don't see how it'd be too different from other TW based roms though.
Just tried this myself and it worked great. I am running the new update (deodexed stock) and I didn't have the new camera. Just wanted to let everyone know that it was working on deodexed stock as well

I'm just on rooted stock UVALH2 and followed OP instructions, wipe, wipe dalvik cache and nothing happened. Still stock without added options.
Do I have to be on a custom rom?
Thanks
It is the same as the CM10 camera. What other features did you add? It works well but it is missing the burst mode and storage location to save the photos.
Oh, and I didn't have to wipe data or non of that! but just copied/pasted and reboot.

I'm curious, how did you update? Did yoh flash the rooted rom? Or did you install the full update via kies or odin. Or did you install the ota update?
I've been suspecting the following for a while now but could never get an answer to confirm.
Basically if you just flash the rooted update, you are going to miss out on a number of other firmware updates to other parts of your phone. Flashing the rom does not update the other partitions like installing via kies or odin will.
I could be wrong here or at least in your case, but not having the FULL update installed could cause exactly what you are seeing.
Just food for thought but would love to hear others input on this theory.
Note: you could try the dialer code mentioned in another thread to try updating JUST the camera firmware. I think its in general.

"Theres also a new camera firmware that you need to update manually, previously mine showed zdfe02 and now its updated to zdff03. To do so go to the dialer and type *#34971539# then hit “Phone / CAM FW Ver check” and if the phone FW is different than the cam FW you then hit "phone to cam FW write (rear)" and reboot."
Ok, I am currently running UVALG1 via wildchlds flashable rom. I installed the camera as per op and worked great! So my theory was at least part if not fully wrong.
However I have a question/request of anyone willing. Enter the dialer code from above and choose the first option Check Camera fw Ver. A toast will popup telling what your cameras and phones versions are. Mine said zdfe02 for both, but as stated above, his said one was zdff03.
Would you guys be willing to do that and let me know what it says? I figure zdff03 will show up if you have updated to UVALH2.

It's More than Tablet/Phablet Mode or Build Prop Tweaks
PER-APP-DPI/LAYOUT. This is not tablet mode! Hybrid engine allows you to target apps individually. You get to pick their actual layouts which can tranform content drastically. Keep in mind, this has nothing to do with build.prop hacks or DPI changes. We list all layouts an app brings, you choose one, its as easy as that. It does not matter if your device runs itself in Phone-, Phablet or Tablet-UI, your apps will always look as you like. On top of that you can scale apps, to fit your screen, that way you can even bring full fledged tablet apps and make them run perfectly. Nothing will break, nothing will shrink, your market will be fine. Additionally we have rewritten many parts of the android framework and fixed countless of AOSP bugs to make way for these modifications - our "tablet mode" runs better on a phone than on a real tablet, that is guaranteed.
PER-APP-COLOR, Paranoidandroids newest invention. Define apps in your regular hybrid panel. See your phone fade into the color definition of your current app, press home or go elsewhere and it fades back. Create as many combinations you like, you can even dabble with opacity. This feature is made possible by our hybrid engine, which is unique to this rom.

- add credits/reference at the end of message

Hi all,
I managed to make working multiboot feature on Galaxy S3.
Below are some videos preview that I did demonstrating the features ( don't look at sound, I removed it because my english is not fluent).
This project is at an early stage but already working with limitations.
If you want to try it, beware that it is dangerous (no risk to brick but if you make mistake you risk to install a zip into your internal rom), so to test it, please follow exactly the operations in videos examples.
Very important recommendations to test :
- BACKUP all your data first !
- Use only your internal if you have at least 4G available ( 7GB recommended because I create sparsed img files but if you fill all the rom, it will take 7GB )
- Use your external sd card only if :
- you have at least 7 GB free
- your filesystem is vfat or ext4 ( exfat,ntfs not supported for the moment ) - Very very important : when you use "set rom" option, you have to see "command succeded" at the end of the output. If not, don't go further and reboot.
- start by playing with recovery roms ( check video ) before testing full rom
- creating rom on vfat can take about 15 minutes (to create img files). Be patient...
The method used is an adapted kexec-hardboot method created by mkasic (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1266827), but with a complete replacement of kexec by another userspace program ( kload-harboot ) and a very small kernel patch ( hardboot-reserve ).
Note also that this adapted method is easily portable to any android devices.
If you are interested in this project ( to help for testing, to help dev, to add features etc..), I will open a thread in the developpement subforum, to published sources and explanations.

Hi Smash2Bash,
Sorry to answer lately. I did this program on i747M ( Bell canada provider ) with d2att cm10.2 kernel but as we share the same kernel, it should be fine. Just take care of warnings that I putted in first message. If you can share your experience and tell me if you found problems/bugs.
When I reach 10 posts, I will probalby open a dev thread.

No problem man. It's working good. I tested cm11 paranoid android and it worked good. But I tested avatar ROM 4.3 and it didn't work so well. Probably a ROM issue. And these were tested with my internal ROM as 4.3 touchwiz. You should put in the OP to flash with Odin. And I found a bug I think....
When you make a new ROM and flash the ROM in the new slot, you must swap back to internal in order for it to boot. So you can't swap to it, and then boot it.

Thank's for feedback.
I will add the information that this preview has to be installed with Odin.
In fact, it is prerequisite to go back to original rom to be able to boot a Rom that you installed on internal sdcard ( /data/media/../) .
When you select a rom, it is to make operation on it ( install, wipe etc.. ) but not to boot on it. I admit that it is not very clear...

Wow! This looks awesome! I'll have to try it when I grow a pair of balls haha. I'm too scared to mess with my phone any further. (Especially since I did the 4.3 OTA.)
Works like a charm

Using PDA. Correct. Flashed it again yesterday can verify.

Close the program and reopen it. Use default settings. Make sure re - partition isn't checked. It normally isn't. So open odin. Click the file in PDA. Hit start. Done.

Nicely done OP! Tested and I can confirm that this does indeed work on the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S III SGH-T999!
One small thing though, this mod makes the recovery think that the device is an i747, therefore, T-Mobile ROMs (with the getprop in updater-scripts) cannot be flashed with this. I expect though, that this is a minor issue and can be fixed very easily. Once again, great work! :good:

What kind of bugs are people running into? I just saved my device's ass from a hard brick for the second time in just a few months so I don't want to flash anyting with odin right now, some stability would be nice for a ltitle bit
However, if people have not been having problems once you boot into either ROM, at least nothing additional to what is already a known issue, then I am flashing this sucker RIGHT away. Question, how is /system/ looking? what about build.prop and the init.d folder? are they seperate for each ROM, and if so, how are they managed when I am not booted into one for instance?

So here are the steps I follow to use the Sprint LG G2 (ls980) with any rom on Tmobile or AT&T in the US
*This thread is specifically for the LS980. Some of the information might apply to other phones, but I can't say for sure.
***Caveats of using this phone Tmobile or AT&T:
-LTE doesn't work. Missing lte bands. Highest we get is hspa+.
-Haven't tested Custom Kernels
-instead of 4g or LTE logo, it says gsm all of the time (paid app that will safely change icons without system crashes linked below)
-Had to use 3rd party app to change radio and apn settings (see below)
-Wifi on stock 4.4.2 didn't turn on twice in the last 2 weeks when coming from a wakeup. Had to reboot to fix.
Again, I did not do any work. I have only compiled this information from various forums. Most of this work comes from cloudyfa, the find from pvinodnayak, the unlock from ysabxe and countless members in the sprint unlock forum and the old sprint build prop forum before the unlock was released. I have just compiled information. Thank op's for their work.
There are multiple ways to use the Sprint LS980 on Tmobile or AT&T. Before we get into them, please do the following:
- root phone with ioroot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522346
- use autorec to install TWRP
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715496
*If you notice now that when you screen goes to sleep, and when you try to activate the screen it shows a whole bunch of white lines, boot into recovery and install the G2PanelSwap. [/url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792844[/url]
There are 2 ways to accomplish using our phone. (be sure to scroll down to the bottom to see the 2nd way. You might want to to this instead of the first way.)
1st Way - Use your phone on Stock Sprint Software
***If you are already on the ZVC firmware, people have noted problems using the following instructions..There are constant system crashes. It is recommended to restore back to an earlier version, make the changes below, then take the ota upgrade. You can go back to stock by following this guide.
LG G2 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) - xda-developers
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
If you prefer to stay on ZVC, please follow jsergio123's guide found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52915223&postcount=814
1-setup phone and Download root browser
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.root.browserfree
and a rar extractor.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rarlab.rar
2-Download the ls980simfinalunlock.rar
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2655133
3-extract the rar and copy the carrier contents and use root.explorer to over write the files in the root carrier folder.
4- Download Rom toolbox lite
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox
and use it to Update the build.prop (reboot between each. You can turn on airplane mode in the meantime to stop the system ui from crashing)
ro.carrier=spr
ro.build.target_operator=spr
persist.service.crash.enable=1
Found from this post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49945052
*After trying numerous build.prop edits, I have found that they all cause system crashes. Please only use the ones listed above. If you hate the GSM icon, I have found a way to change it. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.ptoti.g2_tweaksbox . Install it, and then buy the premium pack for $1. (cmon its only a buck.) After you unlock all features, Click on Theme Tweaks -> and make sure Enable Theme MOD is selected. Then click on Status bar. Then make sure Enable Status Bar Mod is On. Then scroll down "Change status bar's icon set" You can choose through different icons from different carriers. I prefer the Tmobile one. They will take affect after reboot.

5-Use Radio Switcher to check and set what radio to use. I use LTE\GSM\WCDMA
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.snclabs.radioswitcher
6-Use Tweakker MMS APN app to set APN
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tweakker
*Note - Some users get force closes when trying to make a phone call. For some reason, you need to add a number 1 to your contact before you call
If you want to fix this manually, Follow the following fix found by jsergio123)
*To fix the issue of the com.android.phone process crashing when you don't dial a 1 in front of the number edit the /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db file with a SQLlite editor and change in the "system" table "assist_dial" and "assist_dial_init_db_check" to "0". If you don't see those 2 rows then you can add them. Fix permissions, wipe cache and reboot.
Another workaround is that I have found an app that will automatically add 1's to every one of your contacts.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maplekeycompany.apps.numberfixer
Install it and open it -> click Add area/country code -> change the dropdown to 10 and hit ok -> and in the area code, erase the area code part leaving just the number 1 -> Fix all. It will prompt you for how many numbers it will add the number 1 to all contacts.
2nd Way - Flash a rom
After you have Rooted and Flashed and possibly the G2Panelswap , you may want to consider installing a rom that works out of the box. It is much easier.
Here is a list of roms that work out of the box that I have personally tested. I know there are more.
***Update***
In all of cloudyfa's latest rom builds they do not work out of the box. I had to install the rom without my sim card in. Then download and install rom toolbox lite (see step 4 above) and change ro.carrier to spr (make sure its lowercase.)
I then turned off my phone, put in my sim card, installed radio switcher (link in step 5 above) and chose WCDMA preferred. Everything worked after that.
Cloudystock =stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2661866
Cloudyflex =LG flex port http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618864
Cloudy pro II = Optimus pro port http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2680745
CloudyG3 =G3 port http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783192
Let me know in the forum what other roms you find that work out of the box and I will link them here. Please remember that unless a rom specifically states it works for AT&T or Tmobile, or is a general rom that is 1 rom made for different versions of the phone, than it most likely won't work. There are lots of roms to look through in the G2 development section as well. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development
Very interesting. . I struggle to do many of these and after reading thru your I find it so easy. . Thanks for your post. .
I have two queries
1. Can we flash any T-Mobile Rom or it has to be a Sprint one
2. Do we need to change the modem or stock zvc modem would work
3. Does WiFi hotspot work.fine.with the stock Rom

Should I just start from Step 8?
I already followed the "Permanent SI Unlock for LS980 (OTA, APN) JB 4.2.2, KK 4.4.2" thread, so I did the following extra steps "To make APNs stick automatically:", is this fine?
To make APNs stick automatically:

2. Delete File telephony.db in Folder /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases

Do you have to go through the whole unlocking process for those apps to work? It says its incompatible with my phone but I haven't tried unlocking yet so just want to be sure. Also is this just for GSM usage or would I be able to switch back and forth? I want to test it out before I decide to actually cancel with sprint and go with tmobile. My friend is letting me hold on to an extra tmobile sim so planning to try it with that.
Sprint blocks gsm in the US. You have to do steps 6 and 7 to have gsm unlocked. That is why it is failing for you. Once it's unlocked, you can still use sprint

Are you using root explorer, and backing out all the way to the top directory?
Also, this thread isn't meant for troubleshooting per say, it's just a list of steps that I did. If you are having problems with a certain step, go to the linked thread and troubleshoot there, as they are the real developers who did the fix.

I didn't ever see those steps in the op. They would probably help. But at any rate, yes. Each thread brought us one step closer to using this phone in the US. I kept trying over and over what step to do in what order to get it to work, and then wrote this guide. The way to listed in the op of permanently unlock is a great way to do it, I just thought dropping the folder in is easier.
Sprint blocks gsm everywhere, unless you get it unlocked through them. The permanent unlock let's us bypass that restriction and lets us use gsm, but still doesn't bypass sprints measures to block gsm in the US. The build prop changes do that. Everything else listed is just the tools I used to change everything.

When switching Roms, you might need to make the build. Prop changed again, but you shouldn't ever have to do the unlock again. Also, op updated with possible new changes to get rid of the gsm icon and shows H for HSPA . Its working well so far.

You shouldn't be creating a new folder. You should be finding the already existing carrier folder, and overwriting its contents.

Right, but the issue is that Omnirom does not have a carrier folder.
Don't know what to tell you. You can try just the build. Prop mods starting on step 8. People have had success with asop based Roms. I have only used stock based Roms. Also, again this question would be more for the permanent unlock forum linked above.
