Ok so I had to reactivate my Z2 Force Sprint., and after set up I do not have any data. It show 3G then LTE then nothing.. I tried flash all twice, but still can't get full data.. I was on Lineage, but went back to stock as I was going to sell this phone.. but now I'm not sure how to proceed. Any ideas will help thanks.

I'm in the same situation, update from nougat to Oreo and I ran out of mobile network, if I find any solution, I'll let you know.
Sprint is suppose to be sending me another phone. Will see, so I went and relocked the bootloader.. At this time I don't care if it is stock or not.

I went to Motorola to get the factory images for this phone, can't seem to find any.. funny with bootloader locked, I get a message, that a different software other than factory installed on phone.. How, when I flashed the flashall that is suppose to be 100 percent stock.
Found out what appears to be the issue.. Up at Sprint, my ICCID (sim) Doesn't match what's in the phone.. Why I do not know.. I gave them two other sim cards, and they claim they are not compatible but, one is the original one from the phone.. So tomorrow I have to go to Sprint and get another.. To add insult to injury, the Galaxy S6 I purchased, and billed as new.. In fact is not new, was a refurbished unit.. Ok, but the mic does not work.. Went to Sprint to get it replaced $75, but because it has a after market screen and not original, they won't touch it.. Again, no mentioned at time of purchase.. Luckily for me I'm getting my money back on it.. Talk about a bad day, and a couple of effed up phones..
Did Lineage OS work?

Sorry, I need to clarify. Alot of Moto Z2 Force users have issues using their "unlocked" phones on compatible carriers. For instance, I have an unlocked Sprint Version of the phone, yet cannot use it on the Verizon network (even though both phones have compatible hardware). So there must be a glitch or Carrier lock in the phone's "Software Channel" preventing people from using their device on other networks (aka: have their phone unlocked).
Did using Lineage OS allow you to use your phone with whatever carrier (SIM change) without any modification besides the OS?
Please let me know if I need to clarify any further. Thank you!
Get Verizon Network to work on your Sprint Moto Z2 Force!

Sorry. I did not use my phone on any other carrier.. But I believe this phone you can use on T-Mobile, Cricket or even AT&T.. Providing it is also GSM compatible.. A buddy of mine recently left Sprint, and has a Iphone 7 and he went to Cricket.. Best move he every made.. And not that the GSM is unlocked he can talk, and do internet without issues. I hope this helps. I also now have a LG G7 ThinQ as I was having issues with LTE and Call issues, and Sprint sent me that, and I sent then back my Moto Z2 Force.

Verizon is the only carrier you can't use. Verizon is a CDMA carrier. They must have your IMEI in their database to get calls, sms, MMS, etc. AT&T works, T-Mobile works... They are GSM so as long as the phone can connect to the towers, they don't care really.

Verizon is ALSO GSM and 4G LTE...and switching over to 5G. Strange thing is, when we initially got the Sprint phone and put in the Verizon SIM card, the phone actually recognized the Verizon SIM and all data, network, and calling WERE working, without having any dialog with Verizon (ALSO: without the phone's IMEI number on Verizon's database). It wasn't until the phone was updated to a more current Oreo Operating System that the SIM card wasn't recognized. Leading me to understand/believe that THERE DOES EXIST a ROM that allows a Sprint Moto Z2 Force to work on the Verizon network...just a matter of finding which one.
Also, when we installed Lineage OS onto the Sprint Moto Z2 Force, the Network options actually ALLOWED us to put in Access Point Name (APN) fields, but prevented us from saving them, saying user access denied (Rooting the phone may allow access to these settings?).
Also, once Lineage OS was installed, the Network could be taken off from, "Actively Connect" to a network and re-directed to a Carrier specific Network...Verizon being one of them, yet when doing so, we received an error message, "SIM card prevented linkage"....This we are assuming IS an issue with the IMEI (???), yet the IMEI # is different than the SIM #.
We currently are trying to work with Verizon Wireless to alter their, "Bring Your Own Device" settings to see if they WILL ALLOW a compatible hardware phone to be added to their platform by adding the IMEI to their database...
Still trouble shooting and fingers still crossed...
UPDATE:
Verizon working on Sprint Version Moto Z2 Force via Oreo OCXS27.109-48-3 (NOT listed in Motorola mirrors lolinet firmware page). We suggest doing an install of an older version of Oreo (i.e., OCX27.109-48 from 3/2018), then a "Motorola System Update" will pop-up suggesting you to update to version Oreo OCXS27.109-48-3...once install has completed, pop in your Verizon SIM card and voila! Network connection, data service, hotspot, & voice calling all working!
Now the key is to NOT do any future updates and disable the app "System Update" and force stop "Motorola Update Services" (if rooted, disable it!).
We're still working on what Sprint Applications can/need to get disabled, as notifications for "Mobile ID and "Mobile Installer" are still on the pull down notification screen. (Rooting most likely required for these).

We have a Galaxy Note 2 from ATT now. Just upgraded, so we're not using it. We want to take it to Europe to use as a phone and a hotspot for our computers on our trip. I've read that people do that with unlocked Androids and a European SIM.
I was able to unlock the phone with no problem using a data only T-Mobile SIM card in the process. The problem is that I can't turn the Mobile Hot Spot on. I've tried with the valid data only T-mobild SIM installed. When I try to turn the hotspot on, it says that either the network is not available, or there's an invalid SIM. I'm worried that it's the ATT restrictions on the phone that aren't going away even if the phone is unlocked, and there's a different SIM in place.
Does anyone know what we have to do to enable the hotspot, so that this phone can be used in Europe?
Thanks.

The thing that sticks out to me is that you actually need the correct Sim card that is provisioned for phone service.. I'm assuming this "data only sim" was provisioned for a tablet and therefore can't make any calls... the network unavailable message will show up even with no Sim installed and trying to enable a hotspot. You need a valid cell service in order to hotspot.
Hope Getting the Right SIM will do it.

Thanks. I hope that's what the problem is. It would make things simpler to be sure. I just didn't want to get there and then find out it wasn't going to work. In the meantime, I found my old Galaxy S 3. I managed to unlock it, root it, and install basic ROM. Thought maybe that would work, as well. I'll know by next week.
Hello guys,
I just got a G925T and unlocked it(root & unlock), installed a VZW sim and got the data to work. I cannot make any calls or text tho.... Any thought for a frustrated fella???
I have contemplated installing a rom and trying to change the message center number there because it cannot be done in stock rom... but not sure if its possible.
I have a g925t, could you tell me how you rooted and unlocked it? I've tried so many things and even bricked it twice.
ATT, Tmobile and the rest of the world using GSM network. but Verizon and Sprint is using CDMA network. Therefore if you use a GSM phone on a CDMA network, IT WILL not work!

If it does not work, how did I get the internet to work... is a matter of configuration. I know Tmobile locks the message center number so it cannot be edited. If there is a different way(like an app or flashing a configuration) I might be able to make it work, at least the text messages.

If you brick twice, you need to give up.
Stock isn't as bad as it's made out to be.
I gave up waiting for safe uncomplicated root, but it's still not possible.
Proper root is seamless and everything works on the first try.
That was possible with all the Galaxy phones before this model, but not with this phone.

From what i inderstand, Verizon mostly uses CDMA for voice unless you are in a VoLTE area. Even then I would say all bets are off for voice.

This. Sprint, Verizon and US Cellular are all predominantly CDMA voice carriers. While they support VOLTE unfortunately it's not standardized yet so it's hit or miss on devices but VZW systems usually just reject any non certified voice device which flips it to data only like a tablet. The Tmobile s6 isn't equipped with compatible CDMA radios as they're proprietary. The LTE portion of the system they use is standard (GSM) with the rest of the world which is why data works.

Hi,
I am trying to get the wifi calling option to appear and work on my 960U1. Here is what I've done so far.
1. Utilized Odin 3.12.3 (not patched version that I've seen on some forum posts) to flash AIO firmware G960U1UEU1ARBG (which i'm pretty sure is the only cricket CSC from updato.com, Sammobile has nothing listed for AIO )
2. During flash I made sure to select the CSC (not HOME CSC)
3. The flash looks like it was successful and the phone was automatically factory reset.
3. I am still missing the wifi calling option (i checked both settings-> connection menus, and the Dialer. I also tried making a call in airplane mode with wifi and it said i needed to turn on cellular.
Does anyone have any ideas what I need to do? Only thing I can think of is I'm missing a firmware or I need to change how I'm flashing the phone.
Here is a link to the cricket website saying wifi calling is supported on the S9 https://www.cricketwireless.com/sup.../wifi-calling/customer/compatible-phones.html
Thank you
Update:
So I was realized what I was missing was the AIO (Cricket) User Data. Once I located that and flashed it along with the Firmware using Odin I know have the Wifi-Calling button added to my phone. Now when I attempt to turn it on wifi-calling I get the "Please try again later" message.
I contacted Cricket Wireless Chat support, told them I have a S9 with cricket Firmware and they asked me to provide the IMEI, when I provided the IMEI they stated that it was for an unbranded S9 and that I would be unable to get wifi-calling to work on their network because of that.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I could get them to authorize my phone to get access?
It is not going to work no matter what. You have to be using an iPhone or their Cricket Branded Android phones.... -_-

Even if Crickett wanted to, their agreement with AT&T would probably prevent it. Even AT&T requires an iPhone or one of their branded phones for wifi calling. You can give up this fight.

If you had another Cricket branded Android that is wifi calling capable you could have them hard set that IMEI in the system, and that should get your S9 working.

I've considered this option, but now I'm weighing another consideration. It looks like mobile hotspot is disabled on the cricket firmware with user data. So unless I pay for the service maybe i should stay on a generic firmware so that it will give me mobile hotspot vs wifi calling...
\Again, FYI and maybee everyone already knows this.
The idea behind the "unlocked" handset and Android was that each carrier would have its own app to use for these handsets to enable these IMS features. As usual, the wireless US carriers have perverted the concept to tell then end user to f*ck off because you did not pay a premium for the carrier branded/bloated handset.
Man....MINT SIM is looking good.
Just FYI, Wi-Fi Calling will work fine on U1 flashed to Cricket's firmware. You just need to provision your SIM card for Wi-Fi Calling, to do that you need to insert your SIM into iPhone (SE or 6/7/8/x) and activate Wi-Fi Calling on that phone and test it out, once you see it active - remove SIM card and put it back to your S9. After you put the SIM back into your S9 - do a network settings reset, after that the Wi-Fi Calling should work. This is how I made my S9 work. If you don't have anyone to borrow iPhone from - go to your local Apple store, buy one then return it next day

I've been attempting to get this working on my ATT (carrier unlocked) S10+, but since Cricket only supports the S10 (not +) I'm unable to find an appropriate userdata. Do I have any options?
Wifi calling will work on non cricket device under one condition. You activate wifi calling on a cricket device. With your sim in it. Then put the sim in your phone. I also flash any multi csc firmware. And place cricket sim in the device so it auto personalizes. so then you have cricket firmware so to speak. I'm using a g950u xfinity right now on cricket with bit 7 even though cricket has only bit 6 out. And he calling and wifi calling work great

*********UPDATE********** I bought a new sim from straight talk and VOLTE works now! (GSM compatible Straight Talk Sim card) My old sim was from 2014, so it wasn't VOLTE compatible.
I have an ebay zombie LG G710ULM flashed to latest Google Fi Android 9 software, I received an email from Straight Talk (Wal-Mart US cell phone service reseller) telling me that my LG G7 does not support VoLTE and my phone will be unable to receive calls in January 2021.
-Using a network info app, the app is telling me it is connected to T-Mobile towers (so I have a Straight Talk T-Mobile compatible SIM)
-I can't find any options to enable VoLTE in settings, and wifi calling is erroring out
I was wondering if there are ways to get VoLTE and Wifi Calling working (Straight Talk supports it, but not my current ROM/SIM).
I can switch to the following sims supported by Straight Talk.
-AT&T Compatible Sim
-Verizon Compatible Sim? If my phone supports CDMA bands
OTHERWISE MOST OF US WILL HAVE A PAPERWEIGHT IN 2021!!!!!!!!!
Same problem
I'm having the same problem. Any progress on this?
I'd like to know this too. Surprised there is no traffic here with all the knowledgeable people on this forum.
G710EAW here. BTW There was an Android 10 update just two hours ago from Android 9. Someone with an 'EM' phone in another thread said VOWifi is "working now" but how do others know if it's working when January 1st comes around?

If you guys have cross flashed roms, then volte will not work. It doesnt work for any of us who have crossflashed. Whichever model.
You need to be on original software. Looks like some licensing thing that volte requires. They need to provision volte for all the phones. Sounds like they are not interested to provision it for g7. Odd that even EAW model which has original firmware, they sent that mail too....
Sad/Odd to see your carriers are suddenly changing to only Volte.
Is there a way to put it back to original software? I actually don't need it crossflashed to anything because it's a Verizon originally and I would like to use it on that network. Or does it not work that way?

Main issue is that your carriers dont want to provision volte for your G7s. So no guarantee if cross flashing back to original will work.
There is crossflashing guide in guides section with which you can go back to stock firmware. Do this at your own risk.
In our country we have a volte carrier called Jio. They provide an app called jiocall. Using that app you could use their service even if your phone is not volte capable. You will have to see if there are such apps for your carrier. Thats the only non technical, simpler solution.
I have some information that might make all of you guys happy.
I was told by Safelink Wireless that VOTLE is a function of BOTH the phone *AND* the sim card.
Basically, if the phone itself is VOLTE compatible but the sim card is not, then the phone will be reported on their system as not compatible, and will ask you to upgrade your phone.
However if a VOLTE compatible SIM is inserted, if the phone does in fact support VOLTE, it will then work. That's because it's provisioned on the carrier via the sim card itself.
If you purchased a sim via the "Buy your own sim" package, e.g. online or from Best Buy, etc, awhile ago, then that sim is not compatible. You simply need to call Tracphone/Safelink and ask to buy a VOLTE compatible SIM (which costs 99 cents). Then when you get it, call their tech department to have them transfer the phone service and phone number to the new SIM.
You can dial the phone's service menu and go to the VOLTE/GPRI menu and if the options are there, then the phone supports it.
What's the correct service menu number for our phones?

Update, I recently bought a new sim and I have VOLTE right now on ULM android 9 latest security fix LG G7 image, running on Straight Talk.
took a while to understand lgup but my 710 oulm had a type oreo that the guy said couldnt be but i crossed flashed it to 10 i dont see the rom anymore and i hope i put it on another drive it was a canadian rom for android 10 works great otherwise im looking to get volte active in the *#*#4636#*#* phone menu you can see "provision for the setting under the radio on off but its a grey area the buttons dont work could be good could be bad its definately part of 10 but ?? grey areas preferred network could be sketchy to play with the phone initially on transition had incredible link up speed now its giving me a pain because assume i played with the connection preferences tab and its a registration error like dum just use the assigned sim guys and stop trying to mac or identify with every device anyway its the registration of a telephone number robo heads
So, I was forced to switch from Sprint to T-Mobile. My phone is unlocked and has both CDMA and GSM. They put a new T-mobile SIM card in. They were able to get it to work on calls and text, but not data. The tech guy messed with it for quite a while. In the end, I temporarily switched to my old Moto X and it is working, so I have a T-mobile sim. The G7 has the same GSM bands as the Moto X so it should work.
I talked to an LG tech support specialist on the phone. He said that they cannot do anything due to proprietary software legalities, and that the phones are minorly different but there is no reason that it should not be working. He suggested that if it could be flashed to the T-Mobile software it would work, but of course they cannot do anything.
So what are the best options and method to get this phone to work on the T-Mobile network?
This is all in the US.

He said that they cannot do anything due to proprietary software legalities, and that the phones are minorly different but there is no reason that it should not be working. He suggested that if it could be flashed to the T-Mobile software it would work, but of course they cannot do anything.
So what are the best options and method to get this phone to work on the T-Mobile network?
This is all in the US.

It would have helped if you told us exactly what model your G7 is.
What band is it defaulting to? Is it band 4?
Did you try a factory reset?
Try band 2, 4 and 12 in the service menu. I forgot the code I think its *#*#546368#*#*
Also, after changing bands in the service menu, you must go to "Network mode" and choose "Auto" (calls will instantly disconnect if you don't).
Yes, it has been factory reset X 2.
Model # LG-G710PM
Build # PKQ1.181105.001
Software Version G710P21b

I tried to enter the service mode as you wrote it, but no go. Double checked the code, it says to use *#546368#* plus the last 3 numbers of the model # (in this case 710) and then #. still no go.
It is set on Auto.

Sorry, yeah I can't remember the key combo if i'm not at the phone
So *#546368#*710# did NOT work?
I just tested it and it worked instantly on mine.
Does *#*#4636#*#* work?

I tried those codes, plus a few others i found online. None of them worked.
I did fine out that I am not the only one. It does not work for some other users with the G710PM. Does for others.
Question, can I just bypass all of this and flash my phone to one the the t-mobile versions?

After more research it appears that if I flash to G710TM (the base T-Mobile ) it will brick. Is there any other version that would work and may improve reception?
