You can buy from any carrier you want. You don't need to unlock your bootloader with the g3

The G3 has an exploit called bump! which fools the phone into thinking it is receiving genuine LG images(i think that's how it goes), so there is no need to unlock the bootloader. Our custom ROMs come signed already, so just flash like you normally would.
& FWIW the vs985(verizon) comes carrier unlocked out of the box so any sim should work...you just need to manually set up the APN for data.

Thanks for your reply

You need to root first, but yes, that's the idea

what do you mean by root .
if bootloader in unlocked then just we need to install custom recovery to flash custom rom right ?

First you'll root your phone.
Then, you'll install autorec so you can have a custom recovery.
Then you can flash any rom you like that's compatible with your phone model.

here is a list of ROMs for your phone be sure you have Xperia Arc S not other phone never flash a ROM that is not for your phone because you can cause hardware damage to your phone
i cant install a custom rom, cause my bootloader is locked.
edit.:
can i install arconium (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1565475) cause it only requries a "stock kernel with CWM???
A unlocked bootloader is only usefull to install other kernels, but because this rom is compatible with a stock rom, i think i dont have to unlock the bootloader, right? :cyclops:

It seems Acronium requires an unlocked bootloader
for your first flash I recommend to install a stock-based ROM just leave bootloader as it is if you just wanna do this way then use a laptop when flashing /unlocking bootloader cause every failure in bootloader results in a dead-phone then only service tools save your phone -your phone is bricked
so search in that list for a ROM that is stock-based choose one with good howto instructions

ok thank u
Can you recommend me a fast rom which is working with a locked bootloader, cause i dont want to risk to install a rom, which is not compatible with my phone, and then my phone is broken ..
So if something goes wrong it is NOT possible to restore with CWM recovery?
here some information about my phone:
baseband-version: 8x55A-AAABQOAZM-203028G-72
Kernel-version: 2.6.32.9-perf [email protected] #1
android: 4.0.4
build number: 4.1.8.0.4.31

None of the G4s except the 815EU and H811 (TMo) variant have an unlocked bootloader available. The H815 you have to get unlocked via the LG support site and the H811 is unlocked by default from TMobile.

Need help on H811 unlocking

Guys I brought a H811 which is already carrier unlocked and I can use any sim available in our country.It's currently on LP 5.1 and I want to install any custom rom based on MM like genisys and so on may be cm also. So I have a question before trying to get root or flashing anything via TWRP or flashing firmware via KDZ that after each flash will it again be sim locked?
After each flash will it again ask for sim unlock code?
Actually I am pretty noob on this things and didn't used any locked phone like this before.
Thank you in advance...

I tried it too and it didn't work, I dont think you can flash whole Verizon stock firmware using odin to 910t, what you gotta do first install twrp once you get that done then flash Verizon ROM, if you could and see if that fixes your issues
if you are just looking to install baseband, modem etc then try this first to install this Partial Verizon stock firmware using odin
N910VVRU2CQL1_PartialFirmware_DevEd.tar.md5
https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=28233
this will update those if you can install these to your 910t then you should be fine?
also in one post you said you have 910V phone and you want 910T rom and now you are saying you got 910T phone and want to run 910V stock?? which of which you have??

Since you have Verizon note 4 you have to unlock the bootloader first using this guide
https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...t/howto-bootloader-unlock-upgrade-to-t3398144
once you do that then you can install the TWRP, once you install TWRP then you can load that rom which I sent you earlier without any issues,but as I said follow that guide and unlock your bootloader and then go from there, if you can't do that then there is no other way you can do it

You have to use kingoroot PC or kingoroot apk with working sim so you can enabled data to work for internet, just follow that guide thats the only way to do it, its not easy it took me one month of looking around and getting info once you do it then it become easier
