Hello guys, :highfive:
I am wondering if it's possible to unlock the CDMA version of the LG G3 to work with GSM.
I know that it worked with Mobile Family in the US (which uses on T-mobile towers) but now I am using the phone outside the United States, and it doesn't work with my GSM sim card.
There is a way to bring the unlock panel for every variant using the code
Code:
9245*#model number#
but that didn't work on my US Cellular.
So please if anyone know what to do, I'd appreciate your help.
Thank you
Hi teamomivida,
sorry I don't have an answer to your question but actually was wondering if you had to do anything you had to do to get your LG G3 to work with Mobile Family. Did you have to unlock anything? I've been debating about picking up a used US Cellular LG G3 from craigslist to see if it would work with a GSM carrier in the US but wasn't sure if I would need to do any unlocking. If you could let me know i'd super appreciate it. Thanks!
Hello anusornsan,
I haven't used it myself, but when I bought the LG G3 from ebay, I shipped it to my Fiancée, and she tested it for me and said the gsm worked, when I asked her what sim she used, she said it was Mobile family.
And my Fiancée isn't tech savvy, so I am pretty sure there was nothing done to make it work with Mobile Family.
I hope that helps you.
Thanks for your answer! I think this gives me hope that perhaps it comes sim unlock like the verizon LG G3..... but I don't really understand why the phone would work with a domestic carrier like family mobile and not work abroad. Perhaps the carrier you're trying to use it with does not operate on the right cellular bands that the phone supports.
does anyone know if this can be unlocked or if its unlocked for GSM use out of the box ?
it's not unlocked out of box but I hear that you can go to a US Cellular store to have them unlock it.
You can unlock it as you would a sprint G3. First flash the sprint lg g3 tot file in lg flash tool. I have an octopus box so i then repaired the nvm and security and repaired the original Imei back on to the phone. I'm sure if you don't have a box you can just write a Qcn But be sure the Qcn has the Imei removed or else it will mess with your Imei. And after that root it flash a custom recovery and follow the instructions and flash either the cloudy G3 rom for the g3 and when it ask you with variant you have Choose ls990 not us990. Or if you like the primegsm rom you can flash it as well. Be sure to follow the instructions for that one . They're slightly different . Any questions juat ask me and I'll help out

In a nutshell though you have to change your us990 into an ls990 and unlock it as you would an ls990

So this US Cellular G3 can be unlocked to use international gsm simcard @dloopy ?
everything is possible simply look in the right direction, there is no need to insert QCN another variant, BUMP! your US990, root, TWRP and flash Any ROM GSM available in XDA

So the USC LG G3 DOES work on gsm? would it work on at&t?
Bump
Can anyone confirm that the USCC variant of the G3 actually does work on GSM networks? I can get it to work on LTE by manually entering the APN information but it will not make calls or text. So this shows me that the device is at the very least carrier locked as far as 2g/3g/HSPA are involved. On a side note, the G4 and G5 variants on USCC support all networks out of the box. The only thing that is necessary is to manually add the APN of your carrier.
Result
please anyone can tell me the result or update.......
could it is possible to work with gsm carier....?
thanks to this info I got my LG us990 work on gsm but no twrp or custom flash needed.
G3 GSM Unlock
Can you explain what method you used to unlock it? I have a US990 G3 that's already rooted with TWRP recovery.

a friend of mine gave me a bad esn sprint LG G2 that he bought off on craigslist. It has the ZVE firmware and I succesfully rooted it using stumproot. I install all of cloudyFa's roms on it, but for some odd reasons it won't pick up my tmobile simcard. I go to "phoneinfo" and no matter what I switch it to from WCDMA preferred to GSM only etc.... it just keeps saying "emergenc calls only" So i'm wondering if it's because of the bad esn that's keeping it from recognizing my Tmobile sim card. Anyone can help me?

Try a regular unlock on the device first.
regular unlock?
when you say regular unlock do you mean have the device unlock through Sprint first? I don't think Sprint will give the unlock code because the Sprint LG G2 has a bad esn. If what you mean by regular unlock refers to modifying the software then unfortunately that is something I'm not really good at, but I'm a risk taker - I don't mind attempting to do the regular unlock even if the bad esn sprint Lg g2 gets messed up in the process. Is there anyway at all for you to show me how to do the regular unlock? I saw in another topic about using Rom Toolbox lite to change some stuff, but when I install the Rom Toolbox lite app I have no idea how to use it - it's all very confusing.

I went to the link as you suggested and I downloaded the file that you provided, but it would not let me copy the folder carrier. I follow all the directions that was provided on the link, but when I check the carrier folder on the phone I notice there are only two folders. While the carrier folder on the TotalCMD folder had like 6 folders plus a file.
Hmm, not being a gsm user, I am not sure. Was there any information in the thread of someone else with the same issue.
One thing I think they didn't say was you have to be on zv7 or zv8. Unless further in the thread it says other wise. Still reading.

when I was handed the bad esn sprint LG G2, I checked the firmware and it was on ZVE firmware then I used LG Flash Tool and downgraded it back to ZV8 firmware. I have successfully rooted it also now on the ZV8 firmware. My brother-in-law has a sprint LG G2 and his work for tmobile, but only thing is his Sprint LG G2 has a clean esn/imei and mine don't. So i'm assuming mine is not working because of the bad esn. Oh well I will keep on trying and figuring out how to make it work.
Alright. Where do I start.
I want my phone to work with Wind network here in canada. I have the LG G3 D852 locked to bell/Virgin mobile, running androind 6.0 MM
I've already purchased an unlock code to use with any SIM, and this does work, however, being that it is the D852 variant, and not the D852g variant, the baseband is locked for this cellular network modem- wise.
My attempts to rectify this was to flash it with a stock D852g, as the hardware is the same, the only difference being Bell's desire to shaft you up the A**.
Anyway, I first went about this by using the LG Flash tool to flash the D852g .tot onto the phone using download mode, however, that failed. It said "Hardware Mismatch error" in the LG flash tool.
Then, I went about trying to flash the original D852 .tot, but with Android 4 or 5 instead of MM. Same Issue- Hardware Mismatch error.
So i resorted to downloading Kingroot, which achieved temporary root, and flashing TWRP.
This works, untill I try to boot into TWRP recovery. (This issue is present with both 3.0 and 2.8) When I reboot, it says signature check fail, or something of the sorts, and the phone screen goes blank, and i'm left with warning flashing lights.
HOWEVER, if I restart the phone, it boots normally.
How can I flash TWRP so I can get a custom rom, or just a D852g stock rom on here so I can utilize the addidional basebands and NOT have to buy a new phone on tab from one of Canada's draconian phone companies?
Is this even possible?
You cannot flash a ROM for a different model. The d852's hardware is the same as the AT&T D850 model but flashing a d850 ROM will brick the phone. I'm surprised your phone even boots for most people flashing the wrong model hardbricks there phone. Also what carrier are you trying to switch too?
And the d852g has almost no ROM support anyway.

I am trying to switch to WIND. I thought that I could flash a normal d852 rom, with an older version of android using download mode, and then just add in the radio baseband packages so it actually works with their network. But it won't let me flash a normal d852 rom either, it always boots into android 6.0 mm.

On the D852G you can flash any D852 rom (I'm doing it right now with fulmics and I've done it with nearly every rom available here on xda)

I have a lg g4 h812 and its unlock and on T-mobile now. Since it looks like the h811 and h812 have same hardware could I flash h811 firmware onto my h812?
you could always try to flash the first revision of the 811 firmware that is below 10H, i've tried on mine and got me into HardBrick. Got repaired for free.

What version did you flash that caused the hardbrick?
From my understanding you should never cross flash models. Some g4 varients could be differ. But rule of thumb never do it unless confirmed to work
I've successfully flash a 815 & 818 into my 812, but we have to reflash the modem file of the 812 original firmware to be able to obtain network (wifi work but quite laggy).
The 81110H is the firmware that i've tried to install (Phone wont reboot after upgrade and show off like 9008 device) . i don't know if we could modify a kdz for being able to inject directly the modem of the 812 into 815 rom...
Yes you can
I've made this tutorial but you have to change some thinks to use in your variant

Ok thanks, I'm asking because I'm going on a long trip to UK and the Middle East for 6 or 7 months , and thought flashing the H815 firmware would make it compatible with those networks and therefore a free solution, rather than paying to have it unlocked.
Thanks

So by default, H812 has a locked bootloader. But despite this, the flashing of H815 firmware still worked?
If you read carefully all posts in most of the cited "how-to's" ...
If you read carefully all posts in most of the cited "how-to's" that have been linked in the responses you've gotten to date ... you will note that many problems are encountered, ranging anywhere from hard bricks down. Simply not worth the risk, IMO as there is not a high enough probability that you can get back to what you had originally that was working in the first place.

Hello, I just bought a G710ULM off the bay and verified the model before purchase. I received it and the software verifies it's a G710ULM but a IMEI check shows it's a PM (Sprint). So the software is still on V10b with no updates coming. I'm thinking this is because the update checks the IMEI and sees it as a Sprint device even though the software says G710ULM. I see a version on LG's site for 11e, is that the latest version? Trying to figure out if I'd been duped. The seller is a MAJOR seller and I'm thinking they are getting these as new Sprint units and LG or someone is reflashing them. I might be all wrong but 2 different IMEI checkers say it's a Sprint.

G710ULM owner here on Project Fi, the latest version is M10g. Updated to it about a week ago. Your phone may just need some time, or you can try using the LG Bridge software on a computer to update the phone over USB. Otherwise, it may just be a carrier thing.
I tried Bridge but when I check for update it gives an error. Wondering, when you check you IMEI does it show up as a G710ULM ? thank you
I got the same problem, got it on ebay, In settings the model is G710ULM, but the real model is G710PM. I also try updating via LGBRIDGE i aslo get the same error. Trying to get a KDZ file but i just cant find one and i don't know if putting another region firmware would work. There's a youtuber that had sprint LG G6 and just changed the Firmware (used one from canada, it work and also UNLOCKED all bands for world wide use).
Same ebay phone Same issue here with no s/n showing hardware is fine unlocked running tmobile usa.. Signal seems bad. Never see 4glte icon only 4g , H, G. Hopefully we can flash to some other firmware to get lastest update.Right now running v10b-Lao-COM firmware i guess thats sprint rom

I did flash mine, had the ULM software with SECURITY PATCH MAY.... What i did is download ULM 10g file from website, used LG-UP to flash it, But first you have to create a DLL file for LG-UP for this to work, if not you going to a error on LG-UP when you hit START.

Yes, the G710ULM firmware 10g that's the project FI(I used another link, not the same you posted, but it should work). I was running the same firmware V10b-LAO-COM, The project FI, was the only one I could find (ULM), so that's why I decided to use that one and because I read on Google that those phones are unlocked. I don't have the steps, but I could make a post in a few hours. And also it's still unlocked, using it outside the US. (I got this one on eBay unlocked version, but it's Sprint).
Does it work with Sprint now? I have the same story - bought "unlocked" g7 on eBay, shows G710ULM in settings but IMEI shows as Sprint phone.. Was working on Tmobile but when I activated with Sprint it doesn't read the SIM.

Thanks so much for confirming. Now I have to decide if I should risk this to get it working or just return..

Well I think it really depends on you, maybe you should return de device, if Sprint doesn't work.... On eBay it said "UNLOCKED". So if it does not work just return it... I am using the phone outside the US.

I tried Bridge but when I check for update it gives an error. Wondering, when you check you IMEI does it show up as a G710ULM ? thank you

Sprint devices support FOTA Update only!

does Gpay Works on Ur ULM ?
Does this also unlock the APN settings? G710pm, gsm carrier unlocked, but does not allow APN to be changed.

Did you manage to make a detailed post regarding the steps to do this ? or if you can point me to one.
Thanks.
i downloaded the latest LM-G710ULM pie kdz and it has worked perfectly with the sprint thinq
Apologies for replying to an old thread, but I have one of these modded sprint g7 that shows G710ULM.
Could someone be able to be kind enough to list out the steps used to manually upgrade the stock android 8 up to android 9 please?

Wifi on lg g7
Anyone have problem with wifi on lg g7 yet???? My phone of sprint , g710ulm21e alway disconnect and reconnect . Some one can help me. When i play game , wifi is no problem. So crazy
I want to root an LG g4, the bootloader and/or recovery seem to be missing from the device. Purchased used off ebay. Is the LG LS991 [H811] Model (Sprint) (also seller claimed its unlocked and that seems to be so when i tested my sim). I can only get the phone into download mode, so when i check it with SALT I see the antirollback says "40". I heard the term frankenstine device thrown around before. IS it even possible to root this phone anymore? IS it possible to get access to the bootloader? I feel like i've been walking around in the dark for a while. I would greatly appreciate any advice

Hi, I've got a similar issue. US991 bought new 2017 from LG via newegg. Advertised unlocked, assumed that just meant carrier unlocked, which it is, but also has OEM unlock flag in developer options. LGMENU shows ARB=2 but SALT stable shows ARB=20 so won't flash USU. SALT develop mode shows ARB=2.
Do I USU from develop mode? Does this one need USU (have never tried to flash TWRP or root or anything. Any help/guidance is welcome. the MM LG pushed to it in 2017 doesn't have firmware support for VOLTE which i was hoping to get by flashing a new ROM since i have have no calling since the AT&T 3G shutdowm.

only H811 does NOT need UsU. The h815 can be unlocked as well but only when you have the unlock bin already as the LG website closed. so: yes you need UsU.
yes keep SALT on develop and flash UsU there. The good thing is that FAQ #1 applies to your device so you could even go back if something is not working as you want it.
Thanks for your help steadfasterX.
US991_UsU_unlock.zip in develop mode worked great.
twrp-3.5.2_9-PREVIEW-275_g4.img worked great.
however, i have a new issue. when i flashed US991_UsU_baseband_flash-in-twrp.zip my SIM is no longer recognized; mobile data can't be enabled, says connection not allowed so can't add an APN. LGMENU shows normal APNs (ATTPHONE, NEXTGENPHONE, etc are gone). has a couple prepay APNs listed that i don't recognize and can't edit thru LGMENU. SALT GPT is H811 which i thought was just for the ROMs. do i need to actually flash H811 basebands? or just flash one of your H811 ROMs like lineage 18.1? not sure how to fix this. again, any help/guidance is much appreciated.

well there are 2 problems here:
1. not many us991 users here so less user feedback
2. usually no one wants to stay stock so less user feedback
the main problem is that the baseband files are incompatible with your bootloader stack (hopefully its just that). a fix for that would be creating a new baseband flash file from your modem partition. pls provide it from your backup BEFORE using UsU and I can take a look
