Data Is Messed-up Trying "Permanent Sim Unlock" NEED HELP

Hi, I really Jacked-up my G2 trying to follow the "Permanent Sim Unlock" thread. I thought it would be useful because I have a Sprint Sim in my phone and it is locked but when I tried it my Data connection is almost nonexistant. I am hoping someone can send me or upload the original files that were either over-written or deleted by the attempt such as the " Property, .xml. and the telephony.db " files.
Go ahead an insult me all you want...LOL... but I did a backup first but it did not undo the damage.....Someone please help me if you can. Thanks!

Just curious why you thought a sim unlock would be useful if you are on Sprints network? There would be no need to unlock sim if you are staying on their service, they use the sim to authenticate your LTE (data), and cdma (radio) to make calls. Those of us that dont want to use sprint service need the sim unlocked! I would go back to stock since you are on their service, follow the tutorial here, http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-restore-lg-g2-to-stock-firmware/
If you want to root after that use IORoot 25 found here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618232
Then you can use apps with SU permissions but if you are going to stay on sprints network, there is no need for you to unlock the sim slot! Best of Luck!

Yes....I realized my misunderstanding after I did it. I also know that the best option for me is to go back to stock but I can't download a file that large (2.1 gig firmware) right now so I was looking for an alternative. I did the IORoot the first time and it did well so it is still rooted. I was just hoping someone could provide the original firmware files that were changed by using the method on the "Permanent Sim Unlock" thread. It shouldn't be that large of a file if someone could zip the 3 main files for me and I can undo the ".bak" of the app files. If no one wants to upload it I can give my email address and they can send it that way. So if someone is reading this that can take a few minutes out of their schedule to help me out I would appreciate it.

oh ok, I dont have access to my computer right now or I would pull you the 2 files for you from my stock G2. I am pretty sure they are on the site already in the posts, try searching for them. I am pretty sure I saw them in the posts somewhere, if you dont find them, I will post them, when I get home.

Thanx a bunch!!! I've been searching for hours and can't find them. I'm new to this device so I am lost...as you can probably tell :silly:
Let me know if you need my email address....

No Problem, I also included a copy of telephony-journal ( just in case you needed it ) They are all original, non-modified, stock G2 files from a Sprint LS980, running Jellybean 4.2.2 OS, radio VZ7. Sorry it took a bit to post them, I didn't get home til late. Hopefully that's what you need, Best of Luck
Its named, G2requestedfiles, it is a .rar

Dude...Thanx !!! You are really awesome ! This will save me so much time and GB (which = $) :laugh:
I'd like to think I wasn't the only dumba** that needed this but I probably am.....anyway " MUCH APPRECIATION"

no problem man, let me know if you end up needing anything else, My G2 is all stock except my build.prop
I wouldn't feel to bad bro, I am sure it has happened to others out there and will probably happen to someone else again.
Best of Luck Buddy, hope those fix your problem!

If there is Data etc. you do not want to lose, why not back it up (MTP) to your Computer?

Device variant/ROM question

Hello,
I have an LG G3 AS990 (Ntelos). I would like to root and flash a different ROM, but am having trouble finding my variant as Ntelos is a smaller carrier. Does anyone have any advice on compatibility between any other variants? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I've continued to search, but haven't found anything. Just hoping someone may have some information.

I've been researching this as well. You could try finding the beta version of CM for Sprint's LS990. I would try it just for the fun of it, but I'm nervous that I don't have the stock rom for AS990 to revert back to. I have my system backed up, but I'm not comfortable enough to rely on that to save my phone if I brick it trying to install CM.

Bump. I have the same problem here, except that mine got pushed an OTA patch that prevents stump and others. So far no firmware I have found is compatible with this device to even downgrade in order to root in the first place. If anyone has succeeded with as990 NTelos please help.

Bumping the necro in hopes of support. XD my software says as99020a but the writing on the back under the cover says us990... So I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do especially since I can't even find a place to download the firmware for manual updates.. Etc. :-[ Damn ntelos

AS990 Recovery?
Has anyone found a recovery that works with the AS990?

I have an option
I've posted a way to use TWRP and ROMs for the LS990 on the LG G3 subreddit, I need 10 helpful posts before I can post it here because I have a few xda posts and downloads linked.

AS990 experience
Hi all,
I have tried different roms on my as990 (Carolina West Wireless) by using the method on reddit (HERE) and everything works just a few things to keep in mind
To get your sim to work on a custom rom you may need to change the build.prop ro.build.target_operator=, and ro.afwdata.LGfeatureset=
Take note of these settings before you try to reflash the phone. If you change one, change both if applicable.
Remember to backup your old build.prop
Backup all apns before you start using method found (HERE)
Backup build.prop
Oh and did I mention backup build.prop
The restore files can be found (HERE) and use the guide found (HERE) replacing the files mentioned with the ones in the post. If you use this method to restore you phone, the build.prop from the reddit post will not work so use the old build.prop that I'm sure by now you have backed up or you will have to get the custom .dll file elsewhere to restore.
For all who have taken the ota update, the restore method works for that too
Your carrier files are automatically restored if you use the firmware in the above post. That is to say they were for me but if anyone else test this
no guarantees but it did work flawlessly for me.
Also I am currently working on a recovery for AS990 if anyone has any ideas feel free to chime in
A couple of side notes
The method by tybskinner may also work if you flash to US990 as well, but I have not tried this yet. To do so you would need the custom .dll or the build.prop for US990
Users have reported that SIM unlock is possible by changing the the build.prop ro.build.target_operator= to global or open however I have not tried this yet
If anyone has a method to change the PRL on the device please let me know I have tried several options but no method I have tried will allow the PRL to stick
P.S. not trying to steal your thunder tybskinner just making it easier for people to find the links

Thanks for the info guys. At this point I'm having issues just trying to root the thing. Lost root with Lollipop, and for some reason I cant seem to regain it. Oh well. The price you often pay for having a smaller carrier (I actually work for nTelos, so its my work provided device).
Thanks again. I hope you guys are able to get yours setup the way you like. :good:

Currently there is no root method for the AS990 device on the newest ROM however if you follow the guide posted you can downgrade to the previous version and go from there.

Have a look here...I found a way around the whole super secure as990 crap

Can't find my specific KDZ file? Vodafone (VDF) UK

Hi,
I am pretty much a complete novice with this rooting and unrooting business but I decided to do a spot of research to try and gain a certain level of understanding before jumping on XDA.
I have recently brought a LG G4 and updated it to 6.0 Marshmallow through the LG Bridge and seems to be working fine.
However after doing some digging around I would like to unroot the phone install Xposed to have the capability to install some decent modules.
From what I understand though if anything goes wrong you would require the correct KDZ file to revert the phone back to stock, this is wherein my problem lies as I cant find the correct file.
I have looked at some of the links provided within certain KDZ tutorials on xda but without any success. I believe I can use another file in times of need but I would like the correct carrier KDZ encase of a warranty claim.
Does anyone have an idea or maybe can suggest other sites?
The strange thing is though after watching a video tutorial on how to unroot the guy goes to ([devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/) and searches for his required file but when on the website I can clearly see the file I need is there but I don't seem to be able to find it when I search. I will say though that the video is old (last summer) but does anyone know if the files are deleted and added regularly on there?
Phone - LG-H815
KDZ Required - VDF (UK)
Any help would be much appreciated

Rooting Mi Max.

Hi!
So I just wanted to change the way emojis appear on my Mi Max (Version: 7.0, MIUI Global 10.2). I had a look on internet and on a site, it said to flash the wanted emoji appearance rom, or what you call it idk. And to flash that, I had to get the TWRP custom recovery and, inturn to get that, I had to root my phone.
I remember rooting my old LG G3 VS985 and a Lenovo mobile, model I don't remember. I rooted these devices using KingRoot. So I think I can say I have experience with rooting.
Now the thing is that, according to my knowledge and the websites I went through, that to have TWRP on your phone, you have to root it using some kinda PC software and other more geeky stuff idk.
So I am looking forward on this forum for someone to give me a proper guidance for getting through this. Also, if you have any other easier method to accomplish this, please let me know!

First you must unlock your bootloader first, ask permission to xiaomi for unlock your device. Theres a tons tutorial how to do that, try search that here on xda or google. After unlocking your device, flash your twrp.
If the emoji you mean is flashable from twrp, just flash it from there. Dont need to root your device, CMIIW.
Hope that help
