Hey,
I bought an LG G7 ThinQ (LMG710TM) in the USA, and i does not connect to the LTE/4G mobile data network here in Hungary. Since it's a T-mobile version i thought if i could unlock it, it may work (i can use my Telekom SIM since the beggining to call/send msg), but i can't get the unlock bin trough LG site, because it says it's an LMG710TMP version which is unlockable, but the phone itself says it just te TM version withouth the P on the end.
Anyways should I even bother to try to unlock it, because i didn't really find any infos which frequencies are supported by my own device, so it maybe just blocked by the software or not.
Thanks!!

It's not rooted right?
Enter the service menu and check the bands. If it says "SUCCESS" then that band is supported. If it says "FAIL" it's not.
Bands 2, 4 and 12 are the ones usually used with GSM LTE in America.

Thank you for your help!
And yes, it's not rooted.
I checked the service menu, the listed(pic1,pic2) bands are all working, at least it said "SUCCESS" when i clicked on them, and in Hungary they use band 3,7 and 20.
I set it on 3, tried to reinsert simcard and restart phone, and airplane mode etc,etc little tricks to get it work, but still no mobile data.
The weird thing i found is the LTE Carrier Aggregation(pic3,pic4). It says what is says on the picture and i can't change it, because it tells me i need to restart my phone. I did it but no changes, so it just stuck at those options. I suspect the problem is there for some reasons that i don't know.
On pic5/pic6 those are some infos about the LTE stuff, sometimes it said Not Supported Mode at the Mode Pref, sometimes it said Automatic. Sadly i don't really know what that means, maybe it will provide some infos to you.

Did you contact the mobile provider and ask them to add your phone's IMEI to their service?
In USA, some people who bought the LG unlocked international phones did not have mobile data until they called the carrier and had them register the IMEI number.
You'll most likely need to setup your APN manually. Go to settings-network and add APN info for your provider there!

Hi XDA members !
I need your help about an issue I encountered on my Optimus G E975.
I'm French, my carrier is Free and I recently activated the 4G (LTE) option proposed in my plan, no problem.
I then wanted to enable the 4G network mode in my stock ROM, here comes the problem !
The LG's ROM only let me choose between 2G, 2G/3G or 3G networks. My phone is compatible, my APN are ok, Free's settings are ok too... So I decided to modify the build.prop file to force the 4G choice. I edited those lines :
- ro.telephony.default_network (changed value from 9 to 10, referring to a Google Code thread)
- telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=1 into telephony.lteOnGsmDevice=1
I can now choose 2G/3G/4G setting and it seems to be working, but after each reboot, it doesn't stay checked and goes back to "2G/3G".
Can you help me please ?

Well, in any case, this is not a big problem.. You can also enter the secret code which i dont remember now, and force LTE, without any build.prop line. The problem is i dont remember the secret code menu.
EDIT: *#*#4636#*#*. Tap the first option, and scroll down. You will see a list. Tap and select LTE or 4G. Reboot and try if it works.

I have the same problem. The 4G option just wont stick!
I'm on stock 4.1.2 and have not changed anything - had the 4G option from the get go. I also can't access the "secret menu" when typing in *#*#4636#*#* - I'm getting the same error.
Been looking for a solution for days, but nothing. Talked to LG - they suggested to reset the APN and then do a factory restore of the phone if that did not work.
Anybody found a solution?

Hi guys!
It's been a while since my last message here.
Just back to say my problem was solved by a little OTA update which probably brings valid LTE/4G configuration for my carrier (Free).
Today, I'm facing the same problem but on the GEE 3 ROM freshly flashed. Things are progressing but some problems stay the same x).
I'll contact devs about those problems.
Greetings friends, I consulted the following information.
I have a LG G3 D850 but does not work on 3G or LTE with my carrier frequencies (GSM 850 - 3G UMTS / HSDPA 1900 Mhz - Band 4 LTE).
I change the Stock ROM 4.4.2 for CloudyG3 2.5, however I think these bands are blocked in the phone because the information indicates that this model is compatible.
Is there any way to remove this blockade of these bands?

Most likely your modem is gone, go to settings...about the phone....software information and if on baseband version says unknown ,then your modem is gone and you have to flash the proper modem for your model.
See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/general/modems-collection-d850-21r-20f-10d-t3213856
Look in software version for your version, mine is v10m

Does 2g or h+ work
Work only in edge (850)...
Did you tried to see your carrier
The carrier and the APN configuration its ok.
The problem in the device, is that it seems that the frequencies were blocked. I bought this device because according to the same information, it is compatible with my carrier frequencies.
Is it rooted?

Did you try to do a factory reset but before that remove your sim card and APN setting and but it back in and reenter the APN setting. Also try to check if your network precedents is set to the first one. If you did all that and it stills doesn't work, try a factory reset

No friend... everything indicated has been made, without satisfactory result
Try changing your simcard
Hi all, I flashed the update from https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/development/h930-lg-v30-european-market-h930-t3779076 and upon flashing I noticed that only the SIM that had data activated could connect to a network, I dug around a bit and found out that it was trying to connect to a 2G GSM network which no longer exists on my carrier.
I found no other tutorials so if you are stuck this is how I fixed it on my phone.
You need to do this every time your phone restarts until someone finds a way to make it stay like this
1) Open your phone app
It does not need to be the stock app, you just need to open it
2) Enter the following hash code
*#*#4636#*#* THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM THE NORMAL LG HIDDEN MENU
It will look like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

}
Then go to phone information
It will look like this
3) Change it from GSM only to LTE / WCDMA
You should now have your service back
i'm unable to go into Phone Information. It shows "This application does not work on this device."
i'm using Singapore variant H930DS. Revert back to Nougat due as i need dual sim to works.
If I only use one sim at a time, would I still have issues with the data connection?

Various things to check try...
Your APN is correct and enabled?
Try adding another APN.for your carrier (look up settings online), reboot, see if it acts different.
Try flashing your old modem in dev patched LG LGUP (modem only). May not work as it's Nougat and you're on Oreo now and for a "different" model number, but in Motorola your could flash previous versions. Not sure about LG.
Flash back to Nougat in LGUP.

Good day.
I'm from the Philippines. I bought an A70 and I wanted to use my old sim, which is Globe, but whenever I insert my Globe sim, or there are no sim in the sim tray, this always pops up and i can't use my phone unless I use my Smart sim.

}
Whenever I insert both my Smart and Globe sim, I could use the phone but I can not turn on the mobile data of my Globe sim cause it's grayed out.
And this also also pops up in the notifications and I can't swipe it off.
I tried downgrading the firmware to A705MNXXU3ASG6 before.
Then I updated to A705MNXXU3ASJ1. (Both stock firmwares I flashed are XTC.)
I did the *#272*IMEI# and chose XTC even though my phone is already in XTC.
I also tried SAMTool(Says Unlock Successful)
The phone technician at the mall i went to used SamKey(Failed)
I even used '01234567' and '00000000', the unlock codes SAMTool says to use, on #7465625*638*#
But the 'Smart Communications Inc.' still pops up whenever there is no sim or I insert my Globe sim.
My OEM Unlock is hidden as well. Whenever I go to download mode, it says on the screen, 'OEM LOCK : ON (L)'.
Tried this : https://www.xda-developers.com/fix-missing-oem-unlock-samsung-galaxy-s9-samsung-galaxy-s8-samsung-galaxy-note-8/
And the solution here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a70/help/oem-unlock-168-hours-t3994553
But OEM Unlock is still hidden.
I hope someone can help me with this. Would really appreciate it.
@BK☑️ Sir, could I ask for your help on this. I don't know what else to do.
Sad for you bro. Did you try asking for help from samsung ph? Seems a bit off to have 2 sim slots but have them locked to one company. Adik talaga smart!

Haven't tried that yet. Salamat. Sa greenhills ko kasi to nabili. Mukang within the contract period ba tong phone. First time ko rin kasi bumili ng phone in years, di ko tuloy natanong kung openline ba or hindi. Engot lang. Haha.
it look like your smart garbage sim is showing this kind of 'bloatware' thing , did you could use your globe sim before on a70? if yes , then the updates in philippines for MN variants force you to use their smart garbage and prevent you from using your globe sim, or just your globe seen been desactivated by your globe service provider, if you root and install another firmware like lineage , it should work, if even on lineage os or any other custom firmware it still show that smart garbage , then it's the sim itself who won't allow you to use any other sim than their own, what angry me the most is that they say thanks for using it while they force you to use their garbage, ill help you to root it , ill also make sure that you are actually able to activate your OEM unlock , im sure your sim prevent you from unlocking your device.

Thank you for replying sir. Really appreciate it.
Yes, I can still use my Globe sim on other devices. I'm currently using it on my SM-T535. It seems the seller sold me the A70 while it is still under contract with Smart. Sadly we only have 2 major service providers here in the Philippines thanks to the garbage system we currently have. Hopefully, we change to Federal-Parliamentary with no FDI Restrictions soon. Anyway, I haven't tried rooting yet cause I haven't I still have no experience with it. This will be my first if ever.
Should I follw this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a70/how-to/galaxy-a70-firmware-list-variants-t3957239
Or do you have other recommended threads I should follow?
Btw, if ever I successfully rooted my device with a custom firmware, could I still unroot it and return to an official firmware without the annoying 'Smart Communications Inc.' popping up ever again?

Could I do this next even if my OEM Unlock is hidden? https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a70/how-to/galaxy-a70-firmware-list-variants-t3957239
Or do i have to do something else?
I have a model S20 SM-G981U that is carrier locked to SPR. But it was flashed to the latest Metro rom with Odin accidently. My ultimate goal is to carrier unlock the phone.
Now with the Metro rom, it doesn't come with any carrier unlock app to unlock the phone. I tried flashing the phone back to Sprint using the following ROM:
Download SM-G981U / Galaxy S20 5G SM-G981U SPR in Samfw - Samsung firmware download
SM-G981U / Galaxy S20 5G SM-G981U SPR samsung firmware download all model, lastest, fast update, completely free and fast speed in Samfw.com ✅
samfw.com
Odin shows that the flashing was successful, and the phone was successfully factory reset after the flash.

However, the phone still shows that it is on Metro after everything is finished:
What am I doing wrong??
TIA for any help or advise you can give.
The phone detects the CSC to use from the SIM. Do you have Metro SIM?
Oh that was a brilliant suggestion, ShaDis. I had hoped that it was the case. I just removed the Sim card that was in it, a Cricket Wireless sim, and tried reflashing the phone and the same thing happened It's still showing the Metro logo when the phone starts and the same "TMK/TMK/SPR" as the provider software in the Software info screen.
Did you ever get a solution to this issue? I have the same problem with an accidental metro pcs flahs. Thanks
I do not understand what the problem is. Update was successful. What is wrong?

There's no such thing as an "accidental metro pcs flash". The Metro model has the exact same model number as the Sprint model, and the firmware is also identical.
Since T-Mobile bought Sprint, Sprint's devices have automatically been made compatible with T-Mobile. That means that when you insert a T-Mobile SIM into a Sprint device (even if it's still SIM locked), it's gonna give you the popup prompt to "reboot to apply new carrier settings" (as if it were SIM unlocked). That's because it no longer needs to be unlocked in order to be used on T-Mobile.
And, since T-Mobile owns Metro, the same thing probably goes for a Metro SIM.

I found out that they all use the same flash firmware files. When the phone detects a sim card in it, it would show the appropriate carrier's logo. My phone was locked to Sprint previously, so I couldn't get it unlocked by calling T-mobile. So I'm stuck with a phone that will only work with T-Mobile

You're never "stuck". There are always solutions for everything, if you know where to look - or who to ask

I was on the phone with T-Mobile customer service for a couple of hours and they kept transferring me back and forth. I gave up with T-mobile. Are you that wise man who knows the answer to my quest?
