Any way to convert US Cellular G3 to anything else - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys I have a practically new US Cellular g3 and would like to completely flash it to a different one or just unlock the radio and use it on Tmobile. Is there any way to do this as I have read somewhere this version has an unlocked bootloader. I dont ever plan on using the phone on US Cellular.

What is:
Your Android Version?
Your Model Number?
Software Version?

Model US990
Android 4.4.2
Baseband MPSS.DI.4.0.c2.1-00007-M8974AAAAANAZM-1
Kernel Version 3.4.0
Build KVT49L.US99010c
Software Version US9010c
I see that there is some sprint way to unlock it to Tmobile merely by changing the build.prop

Do you think this would work. I really like this phone and would really like to have this functioning on my service provider. It just says Invalid Card when I put an ATT or Tmobile sim in.

It might be easier to just take it into the store and tell them you purchased it and wish to use it on your current plan. They should be able to do it for you.

I have rooted this phone, flashed TWRP Recovery and Flashed an unlock zip package which modified the baseband frequency of the phone with sprint. This modded unlock package is suppose to allow using the phone outside the USA...is for blacklisted phone of this post ONLY. But I haven't left the USA to test it yet. I return to Yucatan, Mexico in 5 days and will update this post...
If it works, contact me and I can direct you.
:good:
I hope to see if I can unlock. Any event notify them. Likewise if you manage to direct me how to do it please

VoLTE option missing

Hi. I have LG G4, H812, Marshmellow. I purchased it from Wind, unlocked but swithched to Fido. I do not have Volte option as my wife phone locked to Fido LG G4 has.
I tried to compare hidden menu option on both phones, its look the same, unless I don't know where to look.
the software version on my phone is H81220f, build MRA58K, KERNEL 3.10.84
Please help
Thanks,
Leon
You probably have the Wind version installed, which doesn't have volte. If you want volte, you'll need to flash the rogers/fido version.
Thank you, I guess i will leave it as is as flashing is above my pay grade, afraid to lose everything and brick the phone.

Do LG G3 D855 international version needs to be unlocked

I was checking on internet that my phone is unlocked or not but it is in my mind that it is an international version and also global update for it is also available so can we use it in any of the countries which are meant for international version without any problem
No, just use dumped TWRP ( find them in G3 Android Development )
Is this a question or a statement? What are you looking for?

Put another carrier's sim in it and see if it asks for a code; if so, you'll need to unlock it. You can buy your code for @ $3.99 (US) on ebay.
I used different carriers on it and they worked perfectly ....

Not at the moment no, honestly probably not for a bit. Everybody's at the idea stage right now basically this may work but then again it might not but if it does then there's other obstacles in the way

No I'm aware the model numbers don't match up trust me if you search around the forums there's a thread that has this exact thing. Some guy thought that there was an official unlock for the T-Mobile variant but it turned out to be TIM mobile

People have tried it doesn't work, T-Mobile has different RSA Encryption Keys and fastboot is non existent. Everybody is trying to figure out a way to flash the European Rom to unlock the bootloader root and go back you just have to read around the forums

Your device (LMG710TMP) does not support unlocking the bootloader. Please check your model.
I tried and I recognized the correct model
Thank you very much for your information.

if its rooted, its not a sprint device as none of the us market phones can be rooted. short answer is that you cant, even if you did flash firmware. I bet you have a 960F model which is gsm only and sprint uses cdma still for regular voice and text
