Lg g3 permanent lock problem - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I have just bought LG G3 from Amazon, and its been a week and I updated to MM manually using LG UP, but now the phone is locked and says cannot be unlocked. tried everything but not luck.
I read everywhere that it is the thing with ROM, changing the ROM wont do anything. But my question is before I update my ROM my phone was working fine ie it is unlocked but now if ROM wont do any problem how my phone get locked and says permanently locked and cannot be unlocked.

Locked by what? Knowing that wwoul make easier to search for possible ways to unlock... McAfee?

Simlock

I am new to xda forums and ive searched through the forums to try find solutions to my xperia play r800i problem.
A couple of days ago i rooted it but many things went wrong. but me and a colleague managed to get it back to work..somewhat
Today my phone is restored with Update service program from sony ericsson but still i have issues with it.
After update service program and before that also i couldnt connect to any network, getting message saying "no service" and "Your simcard does not allow connection to this network"
Also everytime i start up my phone i have to choose language. it seems that my phone dont want to save language information i choose.
I tried calling my service provider and they only gave me manual apn settings but since apn settings cant be saved either i cant try that either.
I am sorry in advance if there is a thread with the exact same problem but getting rather desperate
Model: r800i
android version: 2.3.4
build number: 4.0.2.a.0.42
kernel version: 2.6.32.9-perf [email protected]#1
baseband version: 8x55A-AAABQMAZM-203028D-56
So is my phone completely broken now or is this something fixable?
Regards.

Havent tried changing kernel, firmware we tried with r800i_4.0.a.2.368_world.
Try to change to a custom Firmware and Kernel to see if its working better. Like Cyanogenmod or somthing like that.

Thats strange, bootloader should not be locked so that you can't unlock it. If so try to see if you can do something with bootloader files

I searched the forums yesterday and found that a guy named Aljendrissimo can fix kind of problem and i sent a message on the forum to him but havent gotten any reply yet, maybe if i wait until he replies and see what he has to say about this?
Ive searched some more now, and found out that i need to use SE tool 2 to unlock my locked bootloader, but before i started all this
issues it was "bootloader unlock allowed: yes" and now after all these issues its no. anyone have good idea why?
You can try on http://unlock-bootloader.com/this page, you might get a faster response.
It doesn't matter if your bootloader appears to be unlockable.

Go to sammobile.com and flash the firmware for the specific firmware for your provider. You cant flash the firmware with twrp. Use Odin v3.07 or 3.09. You need to use a computer to flash with Odin.

my sister gave me this cause they gave her 2... I went into her sprint account, and they actually have the unlock pin..
I have a few old sim cards from Dominican Republic, and I did try the unlock pin numbers but was not successful..
I always use one of those from Claro and that is how I unlock my cellphones.. but it did not work for the tablet.
so yes it is possible.

Is there a TWRP version for this model? I Odin flashed the "all in one root" file that gave me CWM then flashed SuperSU 1.94 that disabled Knox and went to work and installed all inverted Gapps and Xposed with GravityBox which have me CM Brightness slider, extended power menu with screenshot, even add any of my apps to multi window and flashed Crossbreeder which added some zip to my device but is there even a forum for this device? I assume it can be fully de-Knoxed.... at least I hope because I am enjoying the device...... especially on the Sprint $5 special

Why can't you factory reset, which will wipe out the previous owner's info?

LG G3 stuck on firmware update screen

Hi
I have LG G3 D855 on android 4.4.2 and tried to update it to android 6 but I got a message saying "the device is not registered yet" so I tried to update manually by LGup but it always stuck on 6% and an error message appears I dont remember it but I think it was saying that there is a problem in the partition: cust
Then I tried with LG flash tool 2014 and it stuck on 2% and says "remove the battery and try again" but to no avail
Then tried to unbrick/unroot it by LG flash tool_v1.8 using tot firmware and it stuck on 6% again and shows an error message saying " partition change Fa..." (it's cut off, but I'm assuming that last word is 'fail')
So help me please because I can't use my phone anymore :crying:
How can I flash it now ?

I went to a service centre and they tried to fix it but in the next day they said that they couldn't flash it
So I tried again using LG flash tool and something weird happened the flash tool said that my model is d851 !
I don't know how but I flashed tot files for D851 and it worked again!
I don't know what they did and how they changed the model but it is working
So thank you so much guys for all your help
A little question : what's the difference between D855 and D851 ?
And I heard that there are locked and unlocked phones so how can I know if my mobile locked or not?

855 : international version. 851: T-Mobile U.S.A version.
to know if your phone is unlocked insert different different sim cards. If they are accepted the phone is unlocked, otherwise it is locked to a specific carrier.

OK , thank you so much for your help
Sorry for jumping this old thread.
I have the exact issue. Tried to upgrade brand new D855 32GB from Kitkat to marshmallow using LGUP, device has been rebooted to download mode / firmware update. LGUP fails with an error that it cannot find partition : cust. Google was not very helpful about this error.
Tried multiple times without any help.
Also tried to flash TOT using LgFlashTool, and getting the same error about the cust partition. Note that in all retries, on the phone screen, while trying to flash, there progress never passed 0%
Tried hard reset but it doesn't help. Device is now always being booted into firmware update screen.
Appreciate your help, there is nothing more frustrating than getting a new device and brick it on the same day.

If you are trying to unlock it, I believe firmware M15020e or M15020d can be unlocked for like 2.00 (via ebay)
the newer firmwares L, M etc.. cannot.
Your firmware will be listed on the box or in settings/about phone info
If you have the newer firmware, you could possibly "downgrade" to the m15020 d or e version.

By now downgrade is the best solution to unlock this device with M15020L/M/N firmware. If someone with the older firmware (E,D) that actually can be unlocked, pls submit it so we can downgrade, even when we'll still need a method to do so, cause there's no LGUP DLL for this model yet.

Help updating G7 / Should I return

Help - Got a couple G7's supposedly factory unlocked version. IMEI checker shows the are G710PM (Sprint). Phone shows it is a G710ULM (Factory unlocked version). LG Bridge won't update the phone (Error when trying to check software version) Have tried to flash with LG Up, but can't get past an error launching the LG Up (2025) version. I'm leaning towards returning both phones, but would rather try to flash with Google FI Pie if possible. Thoughts? I'm on a GSM (ATT micro) carrier.
I got the 710pm version as well. I updated it to 710ulm software. I have it bootloader unlocked and rooted.
