My LG G3 doesn't recognize SIM-card

Hi, recently i bought an LG G3 from someone and it doesn't recognize my SIM-card. I've tried with other SIM-cards but it doesn't work as well...
Is the phone locked? What should I do?

Most if not all G3 variants are carrier locked. What model is it, and what carrier(s) are the SIM cards for?

It's permanently locked it says.... Is there anything I can do?

it's useless if i can't even introduce that code...

Well if it says permanent locked, your screwed.
Only possible to unlock via cable now, but i have no idea where. There a few unlock via cable sides, just google it.

Sim Unlock [Noob Question]

So I'm in the process of unlocking my sim (permanently) so I can use it on my carrier in here in Canada. My question is when the sim is unlocked can I install a custom rom, will it still work? ie; can I still make calls and texts?
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this. But I really need to know.

Hi! Thank you for answering my question.
The device is locked to the T-Mobile carrier. I want to use it with Freedom Mobile here in Canada, the phone should work on this carrier. I made the mistake of buying it through ebay (was cheap) I will use cellunlocker.net to unlock it.

Okay. Please let us know if cellunlocker works, I haven't tried their service due to too expensive.

You might be able to unlock this device and use it on every network.
But you will probably not be able to use it with Freedom mobile in Canada because Freedom uses CDMA technology, whereas T-mobile uses GSM.

Update: Cellunlocker was unable to unlock the device. Will return and buy the H850 instead.

Same here. They can't unlock my device also. :crying:

Goodnews guys! After waiting a week for cellunlocker to unlock my device because the first try it didn't work and now I received an email from them and after their 2nd try they successfully unlocked my device! I already lose hope on getting my device unlocked it but now its unlocked!
Edit: I stayed on H830L when It was unlocked.

Do you never used your phone with the T-Mobile network? Did you buy on ebay (buyspry)? Few weeks ago cellunlocker did not work for me, I'm thinking about trying again.

Nope. I never used a T-Mobile sim. I get the phone thru some online seller here in the Philippines. On their first email that says my device was successfully unlocked but when I tried it, It fails I emailed them and they told me to wait again and after few days they finally unlocked my device.

Does your IMEI come up on t mobile website using the imei checker? . I tried cellunlocker about a month ago but they couldnt unlock my device and refunded me

Dude!
I have an H830 locked to t-mobile that I want to use on Freedom mobile in Canada also! How much did you have to pay to do this? All these sites are asking me for $150 and cellunlocker.net simply told me that I should wait up to a month before asking them again because they're having troubles with it.

Same here...I found a local phone shop who promised to unlock for less than $25.. two days later they said the server is down. I think its global I got the same response from different eBay sellers also. I hope T-mobile is not patching their system.

LG G7/G7+ Sim Unlock Code

Hi guys, I want to buy LG G7 Thinq phone, but I found that there are few versions of it LM-G710, LM-G710EM, LM-G710EX etc. So which one is easier to sim unlock after purchase? I heard that AT&T version is the easiest one.
I want to send it this phone to my friend to India, want to make sure that I will choose the right version.
[UPDATE] successfully unlocked using this service: Mod edit
thanks for help guys

I heard that lg g7 sim unlock code will work perfectly on at&t phones, so if you can order at&t version it will be very easy to unlock sim of this phone.

There is no ATT version.
ATT went with the V35 instead.
The 710ULM is what is used on ATT and is the carrier unlocked model available from B+H or Bestbuy.
No SIM unlock needed.

Lg g7 sprint
I have an lg g7 from sprint ,i want to unlock it at t mobile who can help me to unlock it ?

unlock a sprint lg of the latest models that can not be box, costs 150usd
in the sprint telephones it is not useful to enter unlock code because these do not have that type of security for unlocking and less the last ones that have encryption by RSA

this website doesn't work for sprint
unlock code doesn't work
At the time of writing I cannot find ppl that are capable of gsm unlocking my lg g7 sprint usa
Also I know 2 men deep in unlocking, they told me it will take some time to do 1st unlock
I can offer 30$ if someone can do it. I just need my phone. sick of my old huawei. I need only gsm unlock on it.

US Cellular variant should already be unlocked. Even though it's the "U.S. Cellular" model, in REALITY it's the same model sold as the official carrier unlocked open market model. The only difference is the open market model is sold by authorized 3rd party retailers like B&H Photo and those IMEI and DEVIC_ID (in the past) were also registered with the LG Developer website to be eligible for bootloader unlock codes.
But for just SIM card unlock/carrier unlock, they're exactly the same. At least that's the way it's been for LG V30 and before that the LG G6. US Cellular is so small they don't warrant a dedicated phone like like Verizon or T-mobile, so LG lets them sell the carrier unlocked model as "their" phone.
For the LG V30/V30+ US9998, there's no difference whatsoever in the US Cellular and open market models, for performance, bands, stock apps installed, etc. It's the EXACT same phone.

If you buy the T-Mobile version, you unlock it for free after purchase

T-Mobile has an app. You pay for the phone and it's yours, so you just unlock it with the app. I'm sure you could just call them to unlock it too.

So if anybody successfully managed to unlock a Sprint LG G7 please post a proof, otherwise it’s just fake advertising of certain website or just speculation.

Lgsimunlock wont work since the g7 from sprint doesn't ask you for an unlock code when you insert another sim. Ive had my g7 from sprint sitting there
UPDATE: I did some digging around I found out that you need to open up this hidden menu to input the unlock code. I haven't been able to find it. But maybe the lgsimunlock site could work. I wouldn't mind wasting $13 just to make sure it works

Lg g7 thinQ G710EM bought in sweden (regional lock)
Hi guys, have you ever faced like this version G710EM which is not locked particular sim carrier (its only for EU carriers). I couldn’t use the phone in Asia. i bought unlocking code but is never asks the code when i change the sim card (reboot, restart, factory reset didn’t help). How can i unlock it for every carrier? Thank you very much in advance.

Your phone is region locked. On phone box you have to have a seal with a warning “For use with European SIM only“ and a leaflet inside with an explanation what region locked means and how you can disable it.
Long story short: you have to use your phone with a European SIM card on a European network for at least 30min. After that your phone is region free and can be used on any network with any SIM card worldwide.

Unlocked my G7 in few hours for £11.00

There are plenty of sites which do it for about 5-15$ but many warn that the Tmobile variant is locked by the app, You should find an app called Unlock and it's icon is a tmobile magenta lock. You will most likely have to unlock it through there. Temporarily unlock for a month worked for me immediately the same day I bought phone, but for permanent unlock you'll have to pay the device off and then select permanent unlock. Currently the bootloader is locked by LG for this phone. If and once that is available you'll probably be able to replace the Tmobile rom and get rid of that lock feature. Then unlock via some "hack" process or buy a cheap key. I used unlockbase.com for my G5 and they offer G7 for 5$ but like I said the Tmobile lock will probably prevent you from fully unlocking the phone.

Tesco phones are a **** to unlock. If you have pay monthly with them can get it done for free. Can request on Teco Mobile website. If not then - see below is copy and paste from Tesco Mobile website;
Paying to unlock your phone
We don’t charge you to unlock pay as you go phones over 12 months old. If you’ve got a pay as you go phone less than 12 months old, you’ll need to pay £10.
To pay, just top-up the Tesco Mobile number you gave to us and we’ll take the £10 payment from the SIM card within 24 hours. If you need one, you can request a free Tesco Mobile SIM then call 4444 free to top-up.

I figured that'd be the case. Thanks. First time I've had to obtain one and actually got it. Their customer support is not so great. They acted like I was asking for the impossible and continued to tell me it is unlocked. I said dude it says it is locked to you! I know the bootloader is I guess nearly impossible to unlock. Apparently only dev editions can be unlocked. Surely they have the tools do such. Not sure if I'll get a Motorola again. It's basically owning something you don't fully own.

I did have a little Moto X XT1060 I think? I think it might have been a dev edition. Was a pretty good phone. Most of those (non carrier branded) won't be sold in retail stores I wouldn't imagine so I guess you have to buy online? I have purchased unlocked phones on Ebay. I was just in a jam for this one and got it from Wal-Mart and on top of that it had a sorry 14-day return policy. That is asinine.

Can I unlock the bootloader or at least remove the SIM lock somehow so I can use it with my mint SIM?

nah dude, unless you can hack the bootloader, you're pretty much stuck there. The problem is the key is generated by a program on their end, so unless you get access to this program( literally impossible) or hack the bootloader you can't access it. Its like if they gave you a pad lock without the key. You would have to look through the lock mechanism and trick it into opening, but there is probably some issues along if you can even achieve this

Hi
so finally att sent me an unlock code.
i can't however unlock the bootloader. not even via https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-b where if i inspect the page and make the "get my code" button appear it drops me to a 404 otherwise i copypaste the requested code (including #s) it says "Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking." the phone has att logo on it and at boot the att logo pops up too. but why can i put in now other sim, but can't upload another firmware? makes no sense.
is there a way to unlock bootloader somehow nowadays?
the phone also powers up to fastboot which i can't seem to fix either.
thanks

no test point? no "hack"? i'm stuck with att branded software? what a garbage...
