recieved this phone as a gift after my screen got cracked in a fall. but when i put my sim in it asks for a network lock control key, ive tried using an online service to get me a key but they said they couldnt generate a key for my phone.
ive been trying for days, i rooted it, tried apps, tried guides, odin, firmware,... now wondering if i have to downgrade something for it to work or for it to let me use it on any sim.
this was so much easier with my desire z and s-off method.

You need a custom recovery to flash the UVLE1 radio from here:

You are trying to carrier unlock your phone? You need a stock touchwiz ICS (4.0.x) ROM and the UVLE1 radio.
I am looking to use a T-Mobile N3 on AT&T LTE in USA (for unlocked bootloader so I can use custom ROM). Is this possible? Are there any nuances of the phone/connectivity that would not work? Is it as simple as putting my AT&T sim in the phone? Sorry, not too tech savvy. Thanks
I'm using my T-Mobile Note 3 with ATT right now. If I remember correctly I just popped in the SIM and it worked. This is after I set it up with a T-Mobile card, though, and I may have unlocked before using the ATT card.
Now I have it rooted too, everything is fine.
EDIT: sorry I forgot to mention I also changed the APN settings after putting in the ATT card. I think you have to do that too. Bookmonke in his better response below has the link with the info.
NOW FOR A HIJACK:
I want Google Wallet to work, so I think I need to upgrade to KitKat.
Any suggestions as to which ROM to use on this phone that is both KitKat and will work best with ATT?
Also I guess I will have to install TWRP or Clockwork, and thus 'trip Knox' whatever that means. Should I care? I'm not going to return the phone at this point.

Yes, T-moble 900T works great on AT&T, just needs SIM unlocked and the proper APN put in, follow this thread for the best way.

The Knox feature is about security which will no longer operate if tripped. It can also mean the loss of warranty for your device. As for roms check the developer roms to see which one's offer the features you want.

Thank you very much. What is the best way to root the N900T and install a custom recovery? Chainfire seems to only root the device without installing a recovery? Is there a step by step guide on how to do both? Haven't been able to find an all-encompassing one. Thanks

Please correct me if im wrong, but after you use chainfires root you should be able to install TWRP through goomanager from the play store.

*YOU MUST BE ROOTED AND USING AN AOSP ROM*
CM11/PA/PAC-MAN/LIQUID SMOOTH will do the trick.
*Pop in a US Sim card (Tmobile, AT&T, H20, Family Mobile etc.)
*Open dialer app
*Dial *#*#4636#*#*
*Choose Phone Information
*Scroll down until you see the Network Type
*Click the box and choose GSM ONLY.!
And that's it folks. You will see the service bars appear after about 2-3 seconds. Set your apns if not already set and enjoy GSM carriers on your Sprint G2.!

Hi I'm new to g2 world. I have a ls980 and I live in Europe so I flashed g3 port that has working gsm sim cards. My problem is coming from n4 I can't live without aosp. My favorite rom is carbon, which I tried but couldn't connect to gsm. Anyone have any idea what to try? Thanks in advance.

It really works!
I didn't think it'd work at first, because of all the other unlocking methods out there, like changing carrier files, unlock codes, T-Mobile ROMs, but I can happily say it works I tried it with an old Metro pcs sim I had. I got the "No service" signal because it isn't activated, but at least its detecting the sim card Thanks for the info! Oh, & I was using the CloudyG3 ROM version 1.2 & it still worked

No LTE, since the needed bands are missing from the phone. But yes, 4G (HSPA+). Several weeks now on Cloudyfa G3 ROM v1.2. Pick "WCDMA preferred" in the mobile network settings, and choose the T-Mobile APN without LTE, although the LTE one seems to work OK as well. If you have any issues kick-starting the GSM radio you can download Radio Switcher from the Play Store.
The only issue is that some of the T-Mobile towers haven't yet been "refarmed" or "unlocked", so on this device in that case you would only get 2G data. For example at home I get HSPA+, but at work only Edge/2G. Hopefully that will change in the coming weeks to months as T-Mobile continues to upgrade its towers. The same issue applies to a Sprint iPhone 4S and Republic Wireless Moto X that I unlocked and am running on T-Mobile as well.
Guys I'm new to this rom update business, I mean I have done plenty of windows phones but none of the newer androids.
I have an LG G2 32GB Sprint (bad esn), purchased from ebay, but I'm in the UK.

Sorry cannot provide links I m on the go. First you need to check if you are on latest ota which is zvd. If you're on zvc root with latest iroot. If on zvd search the forum there is an apk which you just install to your phone and run it (called towelroot). It roots even without reboot. Then search the forum for ls980 permanent unlock and follow the guide. Just use any root explorer to copy the files, restart and you are unlocked but with no speed data icons on status bar. The other way, is after rooting, install autorec (search for it - it's tricky, you might brick). Autorec is needed to install custom recovery. Then just pick a rom from cloudifa (g3 port is great with no bugs). His roms are made for gsm and you will be already unlocked. If you prefer aosp based, only one that worked for me after changing some settings and restarting is Omni. Couldn't make carbon (discontinued), vanir and mahdi to work. They didn't even recognize that a sim was inserted. Before flashing a custom rom, make a full backup via custom recovery and make sure you get familiar with how you enter recovery and download mode with hardware key combination. Keep in mind there is always a chance to brick and then you will have to enter download mode and flash back to stock with lg tool. If you are confused ask any questions and I ll try to help when I get home on my pc. Did all above a week ago and ended with cloudifa g3 port and is working great so far (I'm in Greece).

Thanks very much for your help and advice, I can get as far as unlocking the device and it all works However, how do you enable data? If I can enable the data then I'll keep the normal ROM and use it
Also after installing a custom recovery, the autorec works great and I can understand the concept of it, but then when I flash with the cloudifa g3_1.2 it flashes but when the phone restarts it gets stuck (first time at 49%, then had to reflash using stock via LGFlashTool, then second time at the LG logo) so I have to go back to the stock rom, root it, unlock it and back to square one. Unsure what to do next?

In order to enable data you have to check your apn settings. If there are no settings, try to set it manually (Google your carrier's apn settings). When you are done and you get data to work try a reboot to see if they stick. I think in the permanent unlock thread you can edit this file with the apn settings and add your carrier's ones. Also delete those 2 files so you can automatically have data after each reboot.
Now I didn't really understand what went wrong while trying to flash g3 port. Have you flashed the appropriate baseband? It's very important in order to boot. It's mentioned and there is a link as well in the op of g3 thread.

Bought this phone on eBay few days ago and I started checking around about how to unlock it(though it'd be simple as any other phones, but I guess I was wrong). Found few threads talking about how to unlock it for US GSM carriers but barely find any information about using it in Canada.
Looking to root\use a custom rom and read that the CloudG3 rom will actually GSM unlock the phone,but will it work as well for Canada(will be used on Telus network)
Thanks.
As long as the band's are supported it should work.

There's a Rom on xda that converts the spring variant to the T-Mobile variant by flashing the Rom. It's basically a T-Mobile variant g2 cm11 Rom but with a Sprint boot.img and a few other Sprint files to make it boot. But if I'm not mistaken it has the T-Mobile radios in it. That should get you their full network experience.

Think this thread might be dead but if I get a reply it'd be great. Will the OP method work on the latest CM12 nightly? Or does AOSP here refer to only the CM11 variant?
Currently not the Device Maintainer for the G2. I'm working with the G Flex community now. I'm pretty sure there's a CM12 nightly already released. Updates will be posted in whatever thread you originally downloaded it from

So, I recently bought a galaxy s4 from ebay, and it seems to work on the network, so I don't think the IMEI is blacklisted. However, when I tried the steps here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282683 and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283068, I am unable to complete the process. When I do the latter, which seems more like what I did with my S3, I get the same message "unable to process request". I remember I was getting this message on my S3 when I had the SlimKat ROM on it. But when I look at my S4, it looks like it has the OEM ROM on it, so I am not sure what is happening. I looked at my boot loader/baseband, and this is what I have: m919uvufnh7. I know that with my S3 I had to make sure I used the correct ROM to flash my phone, so I could get it unlocked the free method. So, does anyone know what bootloader and ROM could help me accomplish these steps in the second thread?
I am thinking I should flash a different ROM on my phone.

Thanks for the response, but I have not tried it, because I don't think it is that easy. I also purchased AT&T tablets and tried unlocking them, but AT&T said they were 'active' under someone else. They were not not showing as stolen, but active. I am not sure what that entails, but I am guessing I have to register it under my account first, before I can request to unlock it. So before I try going through the long process of figuring out how T-Mobile can unlock my device, I thought I would give this a try. It seems simpler and since I plan on modding my phone after I unlock it, I see it as just part of the process. (At least I hope so.)

Alright, I was able to get mine to work, so maybe I will list my steps. However, I must say that I had some failed attempts (in part due to not understanding the post referred to by radoo7701) and some issues with my phone. But those steps wont be included. Also, my version was m919uvufnh7, not NK2. I would think it does not make a difference, as long as you reflash back to NK2 at the end.
1. I locaed the modem for M919UVUAMDL and m919uvufnh7 modem (as I did not make a backup of mine before starting)
2. I used Odin 3.07 to flash the AMDL modem
3. I tried the steps here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283068, but this would not work, I could not even get the menu to pull up, as it would say request unable to complete. So I tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282683 and that actually worked, so I went through these steps successfully.
4. Use cf-auto-root to root your phone
5. Download regionlockaway and transfer it to phone, then install it on phone and run it.
6. flash m919uvufnh7 modem and booted up with my AT&T sim, and it did not ask for unlock code. It just worked!
NOTE: I did have to use a T-Mobile sim card to do the menu process, but radoo claims that he did not do the menu portion. I had already done the menu portion when I finally got to reading his comment. So I can't say that it will work or not. Either way, his suggestion worked for me and I am content with the result!
Thanks radoo7701!

looked up my mei on ting or some other website and it says it will work
Just rooted the other day with TWRP, installed busybox
I have done some digging and cant find out how to get my phone on cricket wireless.

Hey if you want to try this, this should unlock your device? I came across this while researching code on my device. As my device is already unlocked, I did not proceed past my posted screenshots.
I'll pm you. If you want to verify it works. I'll make a thread about it.
Edit, also did you try to press uicc unlock in settings?
Thank you @aaron74. I tried all your suggestions but still stuck. I welcome any other ideas. You can PM me. Thanks in advance!

Ok sorry. That must just reset the device. Sorry i couldn't help.
Did you try that downgrade thread? If so and it didn't work then i would say that paying Idone app would be your best option. That's what i used years ago. I know it cost money but i can vouch that their service and support is great and they stay up to date.
Did you try gt tools?
I did, at least Marshmallow, for some reason I could not flash back to KitKat. Anyway, no worries, I think I am just going to sell it and buy a used GSM one. Thanks a bunch.
