LG G4 from Aliexpress...things are getting weird and i need your help! - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello!
I really need your help and your thinking about this case, thing is I wanted to buy an affordable G4 (H815) for my wife this christmas, so i went to aliexpress and ordered a new phone (not refurbished)
I was all happy with my purchase and proceeded to root it
first problem:
when I wanted to unlock with official LG solution, it told me that I have a mismatch between the IMEI number and the Device ID number!
I triple checked the numbers, what would it mean?
second problem:
then after a couples of retries , I wanted to upgrade to marshmallow, it went alright until at reboot I had this message:
"current version is not avaiable for user. Can't find matched cust for NT-code mcc/mnc[FFFFFF],subset[11]"
a quick google session indicates that the motherboard isn't from the international version, am I right?
what other problems will the phone have? can i still use it or is it just an anoying message?
I read that i could change the region, but i have to have the phone rooted for that, but can't unlock the phone...
last problem, when i opened the phone i saw a lstrange little sticker wrote in chinese(see attach)
what is it doing there if it's a brand new phone?
I really need your advice, do i keep it? will it work well?
can i fix it?
otherwise I will send it back!
thanks a lot

Hello All
I need some help here, I bought a used LG Optimus G E971 Carrier Rogers my phone is acting out for some reason, it opens apps and typing by it self, I open any app it tries to act on that, for example I open the phone dialer it tries to open contacts so worried, this is driven me bananas , the phone was not rooted when I bought it and I did a factory rest from phone settings before any thing, so the next step I did was root it, unlock boot-loader tried to install custom Rom no change its crazy, I am guessing its not a software problem and maybe a hardware problem but what part of the hardware? I cant return it because I bought as is and no warranty left and I have no receipt to return it for repair to LG, so the only two thing I can do is buy a new phone or try to fix it my self, so if it is a hardware problem I need help to figure out what I should start off buying first, I am really confused here I don't know what to do any help would be great full, thank you so much and Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any help you have given me.

[Q] Zenfone2 T-Mobile

Hey yall,
Just got the ZF2 64GB/4GB a couple days ago and it is working awesome. The T-mobile sim was plug and play, I instantly connected to 4GB and SMS/MMS and voice are all working. Only question I have is the model of the phone is "ASUS_z00AD" which seems to be different then all the ones I have seen on here. This is the US variant of the phone from asus. Is this version the same as all the other ones in terms of software for rooting?
Thanks

Yes, I have the same model as your and I used one click root in here.
Have any of you got the Rhasody app working? Mine will load up but once signed in, it just crashes. With and without root. Been email tech support and sending error reports, etc. No luck. Both of my Zenfones2's are Taiwanese WW versions. Thanks.

"Unlock gone"

Hi guys
Have any of you suffered from this?
I got my TMO S6 edge unlocked bought it from a 3rd party about 2 years ago, been working with different companies here in Mexico without any problems, never had any problems with not accepting different cards.
Last night, phone still Ok, but on this morning i wake up and phone has shut-off, and after power on it, now it not longer unlocked, its not accepting any of my sim card from different companies across Mexico, it says "Network locked SIM card inserted"
And getting this screen everytime i reboot

}
I try with device unlock and it fails with this
I dont have any TMO card
I checked my IMEI on TMO database, it shows status OK
checked also on Mexican organism for it, and it also shows status OK
So i came to think, something like "unlock is gone"
Has any of you have come across something like this?
Really need to be able to recover my phone line x.x
Thanks a lot in advance for your replies

Question How to check whether device is SIM lock or neverlock?

Greetings.
Could you please advise how to check whether I can just insert any of my sim cards or if the device is locked?
I know about this URL https://store.google.com/us/repair
I've tried to post there the IMEI of the phone I wanted to buy, but it looked me the following result:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
I was concerned about "AT&T" string so I haven't bought this device (just don't want to play with soft unlock).
Does it really show the reality of lock status?
Thank you.
Hi. That's only telling you it's the AT&T "variant" of the Pixel 6 Pro - not that the phone is locked. You might have to call AT&T and give them the IMEI, and see if they can tell you if the device has since been carrier unlocked because I *think* they only unlock the carrier after the original person has paid the phone off.
It has definitely happened before where someone bought a phone recently and only then found they couldn't use it with their carrier because it was locked to a different carrier, so it does happen.
If through your efforts, you can't determine 100% that the phone is now carrier unlocked, I wouldn't take the chance. Buy an already unlocked phone straight from Google, or anyone retailer that sells the factory unlocked model.

Question The system is broken and can't unlock fastboot mod

Hey, so I did something wrong and now I got the system is broken, I've looked on the internet and downloaded the miflashtool, login into my account where my phone is linked but it ask me to add a phone number, something I forgot to do before, problem is I manage to send a text once but the sim was in my phone and I couldn't get the code in time, I tried a second time but all I get "Something went wrong. Try in a minutes or two" and it's been 19 hours since I try to do it, so I'm looking on a way to ass this number once and for all or even bypass the mi account verification
Any idea ?
Update I did manage to add my phone but now I have "Please add your account in MIUI's settings" and I cannot do that since It's bricked....

I did the test point thing and when I try they ask me for an edl auth... I don't know what else to do now, I'd love a little help
Unfortunately, I guess you need to visit the service centre to get it unbricked with locked bootloader.
