Unlock LG GT540

Greetings, I am Brazilian and I bought an LG GT540 in Orange UK. The device has not yet been released in my country and I have many difficulties to unlock. Could someone help me? If I do upgrade android pro 2.1 it will be unlocked? Sorry my ignorance, I am newcomer to the field of mobile phones.
Thanks

Welcome mate
First of all...if you are trying to SIM unlock it (meaning you can use it in your country and with your current provider) you need to adquire and unlock code either from Orange, Ebay or any other unlocker service on the web. They usually charge anything from $15 to $30 US Dollars.
Now...about the update...by updating your phone you are only the operating system software from whatever is is that it has to either 2.1 or 2.1.
Chreers,

Hello my dear, thanks for the help. I found many sites to purchasing the unlock code and tried to buy two of them without success. Do you recommend me any site for unlocking?
Thanks

LG-E977 September news.

I checked on Lg Brazil when the update was coming out for our 977 models, this is the answer I recieved:

As the product is registered in the support for update, you will receive notification on the device stating that the update is available. To upgrade you can follow the instructions according to the link below:
So, what do you guys think? It should either come out pretty soon or it won't. Maybe some of you already have it, but I haven't been able to find a KDZ anywhere. Either way let's keep this news thread alive.
Sent from my LG-E975 using XDA Free mobile app

There are links to kdzs for e975s everywhere so an e977 one shouldn't be that hard to find

Excellent news for owners of Latin American variants, only wait the official update. Thank you. :good:

It is:V because the update isn't available over here yet

After that bull**** on facebook, it`s difficult to believe in LG say. But hopefully it comes out so I can upgrade my baseband. Some ROM already having problem with the old baseband.

LG even updated the crappy G Pro Lite before G Pro and the OG.

People think new=better so yeah, I guess they take priority with even models like that, since those are newer. Your English is fine btw.

Just lost all hope, let's just commit suicide and stop waiting for an update:T

These employees on FB are instructed to say that by LG. Everytime I read a different prediction: july, august, september, 2nd semester and so on. The truh is that they know jack sh*t and people should not believe that, it's actually funny to see those naive people getting excited with those responses. Just install an E975 ROM because we'll die waiting for an Android update. The truth is that only Google and some Motorola phones (Nexus, Moto G/X) are almost guaranteed to receive an Android update.

I emailed them :V but I guess it isn't that much different, did you flash a Kdz? If so which one? I think I'll just go and do the same. Some dude reported losing his imei tho, I have my efs backup but it is still kind of scary when it comes to a kdz file since this is my only phone.

I'm one step away from flashing a SFR kdz, because I think modem will work just out of the box, and a did find any kdz from France or Germany that is not from a carrier. But I'm afraid that flashing a kdz from a carrier will sim lock my GF phone.

I'm on stock ROM. The safest and most stable stock ROM to flash seems to be KK 4.4.2 EUR V20A. I didn't try to install it again because I read some reports that attempting to go back to stock Jelly Bean ROM after flashing this KK ROM fuc*ed the internal memory (can't mount internal SD card), which the only solution is to replace the board. I had my phone board replaced last week because I followed a tutorial which simply didn't work, and I simply don't trust almost any tutorial anymore. Installing custom ROMs on this phone is gambling; even if you're 110% sure you follow the tutorial instructions verbatim, there is a high chances of you'll ending up with a brick only fixed by board replacement.
About losing IMEI, you must indeed have EFS partitions and modem backup (not only on the phone but on PC as well), otherwise it's pretty much impossible to restore the phone's IMEI or get network signal.

Don't blame tutorials for you bricking your phone, instead search and learn everything possible related to that before choosing about do it or not. That's why I flashed only a kitkat custom rom nothing but boot.img and system, all safe with cyanogennod 11 times and efs backups. Tho i don't want to leave stock kk, at least not for other kk. The is just an opinion, if someone disagrees, or didn't like. Well. We all been there so we know why it happened, making this a good thing to print and paste on your head till you understand.
Joke joke joke.

Hola xSatoshix perdón por no responder antes, la vdd pues aquí nadie me ayudó y la única opción fue que un amigo viajo a usa y llevo mi celular a un bestbuy de allá y ahí me lo actualizaron, tu encontraste otra solución?

Phone can't be, updating if you don't have a working account with them and a working number. That means a simcard from att and connected to the att network.
So it's impossible to get the ota's outside the USA.
You can update manually with Odin but if your phone is not with the original software, efs, etc. You may brick your phone.

I have the same exact phone with the same exact software. Today I've checked for software update with AT&T sim card in the phone and it came back saying it is current.
So, the question remains.
Also, chatting with Samsung support a week ago I was told to go to BestBuy and let them flash the latest everything. (doesn't apply to the OP)

De-branding Moto G5

Hi guys, soon I'm going to buy a branded Moto G5, it's a deal.
How do I remove that mobile provider brand? (Tim Italy)
Thanks in advance

I have this same phone (XT1675, Tim). Right now I am using it with Tre in Italy.
What do you mean by remove the brand? There is a TIM based boot animation, and one or two apps that can be disabled. There is very little bloatware, and the phone runs very well and gets great battery with stock, and Oreo should be coming soon.
Se vuoi, mandami un messaggio privato in italiano.

I have the same phone, in italy; and i want to unbrand it...i've tried to unlock the bootloader but the motorola's site said me that i'll lost my warranty, but in the FAQ of this site i found this:
Does rooting/unlocking your phone invalidate its warranty? (In EU)
In short: No. Just the fact that you modified or changed the software of your device, is not a sufficient reason to void your statutory warranty. As long as you have bought the device as a consumer in the European Union.
Can i flash a custom rom and be safe? the phone has one day...

What is your goal? What do you need to do? I am not sure about the warranty in the EU. Certainly you can use a custom rom. The Lineage 14.1 unofficial is very good and stable. But the stock ROM is very good, lightweight and fast.

i want to remove the brand, the tim's app and i want better control of my phone (and also have some fun). I want a fast and light device and long battery life! No games, no incredible feauters, just whatsapp and fast browsing! I only don't want to lost my warranty
Voglio togliere le scritte e le app tim; vorrei installare un sistema operativo che sia veloce e leggero e che mi permetta di far durare di più la batteria; non ho bisogno di chissachè, solo navigare in internet veloce e whatsapp! Mi dispiacerebbe però perdere la garanzia..

Okay, but I think that unlocking the bootloader will probably void the warranty, and you need to unlock the bootloader to install a custom ROM. For the TIM app, you can disable it: Settings-->Apps-->TIM --- disable. (Impostazioni-->Applicazioni--> disattiva.) The custom rom below is very good. But you do have to use the Motorola website to unlock the bootloader. But LineageOS might only get a little better battery life than the stock rom. The phone has good battery life for the price. I used a custom rom for months but went back to stock. If you do decide to unlock the bootloader, I recommend this ROM for now:

thank you very much for you answers!!
I just can't understand why they write things like that in the FAQ section of moto G5.. May i write to somebody of the Xda-Moderator who wrote that? I think that i'm going to maintain the original rom, i'm poor and i don't want to loose the warranty!

Figurati! You're welcome. As for the FAQ, it is different to root and to unlock the bootloader. It could be that EU law does not cover unlocking, but only rooting. But on this phone one requires the other. You can try to disable other apps you don't use,and be sure to turn off Bluetooth if you aren't using it.

The answer to this question is simple - it depends on your countries laws
The manufacturer will always claim that if you unlock the bootloader it will void the warranty but this isn't always true
UK law states that if your phone becomes faulty & your modifications are totally unrelated than the warranty is valid
E.g if you unlock & root your phone and the touchscreen stops working because of a faulty component your warranty is valid
However if you flash something or do something you can only do with an unlocked bootloader/root and it breaks the phone then it's your own fault
Either way the manufacturer will always try and claim your warranty is void either way unless you quote the law from your country however in the UK your contract is with the retailer you brought the product from and so it's their responsibility to sort it out if the product is faulty
Flashing custom roms is safe - the worst thing that can happen is your phone doesn't boot in which case either you need to flash it correctly as you did it wrong, flash a different rom, restore your twrp backup or flash a stock rom firmware via fastboot

I wrote things for which I had quite good information about :
you may take the time to read the Free Software Foundation Europe speech about this [here]
Or, if you prefer to read the official EU Directive ("Directive 1999/44/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 May 1999 on certain aspects of the sale of consumer goods and associated guarantees ")
Of course, as it is a Directive and not a Regulation, I needs to be transposed under your local Country law. Nevertheless, you should be protected as long as you bought you device from an European seller.
Last, but not least you are -and will always be-, the only responsible to what you do to your own device.

Question IMEI's are gone after Android update

Hi, I bought my OnePlus 11 from China, it came with OxygenOS into it, and the system identified an update to be performed.
It was working just fine, but after flashing the update the phone no longer identified my sim card and lost the IMEI numbers.
When I dial *#06#, the screen display 'null' to IMEI1 and IMEI2.
In contact to oneplus support, the guy said that I've got the indian version of the firmware, and that's why my IMEI's are lost.
He gave me no solution to my problem, and I really don't know what to do, because in Brazil we have no support.
Please, anyone help me. I'm only using it for 2 days and its completely useless to me without a sim card installed.
HELP
Firmware Version:
CPH2449_11_A.10

I actually never flashed any firmware myself. All I did was installing the new OTA update the phone provided.
Furthermore, now I know that my Phone is a Chinese version and The seller from aliexpress installed a global or indian firmware into it. Is there any form to install a correct firmware and get rid of this problem?

Ola Melvin, have you tried to factory reset your device?
If you have a Chinese OP11 converted to Oxygen11 chances are you shouldn't be able to OTA unless ocdt.img from CPH2449 is being flashed (Please refer to https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ues-after-converting-color-to-oxygen.4583321/ for more details).
My understanding is IMEI is stored on devices only and not affected by OTAs, therefore chances are it's still intact and the problem was caused by a corrupted/unsupported radio firmware. Try to flash the Chinese modem from fastbootEnhance see if that solves your problem.

Yes I did. The problem still remains. I'll try to flash the stock firmware back to my phone. The only problem is that I never did that before and I'm clueless so far how to proceed. Any thoughts?
