Hi guys i'm new to the forum and hoping to get some help.
My friend has just given me an LGP760. I charged it up last night and turned it on to get it all setup and noticed that on the main screens there is a notice in red saying user debug mode.. After some research on the web I've found that it is a developers handset.. It works fine although when I put my sim card in it won't find my carrier. It recognises the sim is in because i can see my contacts..
I hoping someone can help me to get this working.
I'm not too bothered about the red notice or the fact that it is in developer mode but it's obviously useless if i can't make calls or text etc..
Is there a way to flash the firmware on the phone to a normal firmware or can anyone suggest why it isn't finding my carrier and allowing me to get a signal to make calls etc.. Sim card works fine in my other LG smartphone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I have been flashing developers roms (LEAKED test V28G roms) on LG Optimus 2X several times just few months waiting for ICS.
Just find latest P760 ROM (kdz file) from my archive thread and flash it with the help of this thread. Not a big deal.

Hi guys,
i know this has probably been asked a 100 times and i was searching for it on the forums and on google for 2 hours, but i couldnt find a fitting guide to it (i found tons of guides how to root it per se, but not how to save/backup the stock rom in case i would need to restore it to stock one day.
thanks in advance

This phone just came out. It takes time for developers to start developing. Saying that, there is no way to back up your current ROM as of now. That requires a custom recovery which has not yet been made for the Atrix.
OH, and about rooting, it won't brick your phone. I'm can't think of one phone that has got messed up from the rooting process. And if you need to unroot to "return it to stock" just unroot it. It's one of the features in SuperOneClick.
ok great thank you very much. just on a second thing, maybe if you know? i have a terrible problem with the phone. i got me a sim unlock code, that worked (can put any sim in as i l ike) but the thing is if i put a sim that is active (so it gets signal bars of my carrier) the wifi connection instantly stops working in goes into what seems to be some sort of scanning/disconnect loop. i can repair that only by hard resetting it with an old sim that doesnt get any reception, so that the wifi works than. oh and i can do calls and stuff with the working sim. so im terribly nervous right now. i found some things while googling that the wpa_supplicant is bugged on the stock 2.2.1 (what the phone is running apparently), so i tried to change the file (just did the things) and it didnt help, still the same issue. and i sort of have a problems since im now in europe and well cant really return the phone oh and otherwise the wifi works perfectly .. and another thing wifi wont work ever after inserting the working sim, even with the nonworking sim wifi still has the same problem.
Hi
Recently my S2 just stopped reading my SIM when I was going to call someone. Since then it has refused to read my SIM, or any other SIM for that matter.
To fix this problem I've tried resetting the phone to factory settings (in 3 different ways ( hard-reset.com/samsung-i9100-galaxy-s2-hard-reset.html )) with no luck.
I've also tried installing alternative ROM's, but with the same result.
The phone was already rooted with an insecure kernel when this happened, so warranty is long gone.
Though, one thing I did realize was that even though I did hard-reset the phone several times, some of the settings on the phone remained untouched, like my locking pattern and a few other settings. Does this mean that hard-resetting the phone isn't really an actual hard-reset? If that's so, is there any way to properly 100% reset the phone?
In short; I'm running out of options on how to fix this. I refuse to believe it's hardware related, just because I'm stubborn like that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated (really).

You can refuse to believe in gravity too, but falling from high distances will still hurt.
If you tried more than one SIM in the phone and none work, but those same SIMs work in other phones, than more than likely, it is hardware related.
Did you check you imei?
078gregory brings up a good point. So if it's not missing IMEI info, THEN it's likely hardware.
Isn't it funny how everything suddenly works itself out once you cry out for help?
Today I've been trying around 10 different ROM's on the phone. Custom and stock. As one last attempt I gave a random ICS 4.0.3 march ROM a last try, and guess what. I got the SIM prompt. I can not believe it. So yeah, it's working now. I have no idea what caused it, but I believe the phone was stuck in flight mode somehow, and just needed an extra push to get out.
Either way, it's working like a charm now. Thanks for the replies though.

Hi people. I have the same problem Habitats decribes. Mi s2 is stuck in flightmode and cant get out! i have reset the phone in every kind of way but no succes. Now i read here on this forum that flashing my phone to ICS 4.0.3 can help solve the problem. I'm on 2.3.6 now. This flightmode thing happened al over sudden. I have done nothing strange with the phone. Its not rooted either. I was planning to go to a samsung servicepoint and let them check whats wrong. But now i read this thread and see that i can relate to this problem of Habitats. I think a also will try to flash ICS 4.0.3 and watch what happens. But theres another problem. KIES don't recognize my phone anymore so what can i do? Can someone please help me out? Thanks in advance
I'm having the exact same problem, could you please tell me which rom worked for you Habitats? Thanks in advance!
Update:Last tuesday i went to the vodafone store were they have a samsung service department also. I explained my problem to them but they don't seem to recognize the problem. Although i read that many people here at xda's and over the internet have similar issues with this phone.Strange! So they sent it to the repair centre. Yesterday i could see in the track and trace menu of the repair centre that my fone was ready and send back to the vodafone store. Status: Boardswap. So they swapped the whole board! Didn't know that the problem was that serious! So i hope i can pickup my galaxy s2 soon this coming week!! I can't wait!I'm on my old HTC Touch HD now. Its ok with the windows but on Android....Arggghh!! Whatsapp is a pain and more. Its so laggy!. I will give an update soon again!

looks like it's stuck on bootloop. use lgnpst to go back to stock. the instructions are in the forum.
He probably doesn't know where to find it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230994, make sure you read it before you try it
Hello there, I am looking for a ROM but I do have a few requirements and although I did tested quite a few by now I think it's for the best to ask more experienced people.
My requirements are:
Low battery consumption
Speed
Reliability, I do have some problems with my phone lately which I will describe down below
Interface is of no concern, I don't need pretty things
EDIT: I am quite the power user as I did managed to recover it from a hardbrick so any methods are welcome.
With that being said, I need a ROM+Kernel recommandation (I am using CWM 6.0.4.5 as I could not find any TWRP compatible).
Regarding my problems: I don't get messages or calls, it's like it logs me off the network yet I can use 3G at anytime, if I initiate a call it works just fine (SMS too), also starting to test out new and different ROMS a "com.android.phone" error started to pop up after I send a message (Not very often, but it does pop up and it shuts down my network).
For now I am using SlimSaber 4.4.4 and it seems to be pretty good, I like the higher resolution and it moves quite fast (it did not lagged for a day), the battery seems to keep up pretty well too.
I have not installed any aditional kernels to it simply because I managed to brick my phone twice because of it.
The signal problem appears to be from my SIM or the antena, I will get it checked out sometimes soon.

What did you do to brick your device with a custom kernel?

I don't really know, I just flashed Dorian into the wrong ROM version I suppose, it would just turn on and not boot up into CM (I am not sure what ROM I was testing at that point).
Then I tried to flash some other kernel but the recovery didn't worked (It wouldn't open up) so I flashed it with Odin which solved the problem.
I got a question though: If I have like over 10000 messages to a phone number, could it make problems? From the provider I mean, because it seems that my phone gets f*cked mostly after I talk to my girlfriend.

I believe it isn't an issue with the provider, the provider should be reliable to send as many messages as you want (unless this isn't the case with some carriers overseas ) . Having that many messages on a phone will definitely cause slowdowns. Problems could be caused by the ROM you are using, carrier network etc, so it is hard to tell.

I've deleted them anyways, it's not because they are on the phone... I got myself a new SIM and it worked fine for about 3 hours then it started again with the same problems yet reverse, now I can't send messages but I do receive.
I will just call Vodafone to help me out, I doubt it's the ROM because it manifests the same through each and everyone I installed, also it's not the phones fault either because with another SIM it worked just fine .
There must be some bug into their server.
So I have completely given up on my LG G5 for 5 months and today I decided to see if maybe I could get it updated to Nougat to see if it would fix the battery drain I was having. I couldn't get that far. Now the WiFi and Bluetooth say Connection not allowed and I can't connect to my home wifi of course. Well I decided to check the MAC Address to see whats going on. My current MAC Address is 02:00:00:00:00:00. Something doesn't seem right about that.
My ideas that I have done:
4 Factory Resets
3 Airplane Mode Reboots
2 Safe Mode Attempts
1 Clearing of Cache
At this point I dont know what else to do. I really miss Android and I am currently using an iPhone 6S. I just want to get back to the roots where I belong on the Dark Side. Please someone help me with this issue, I even contacted LG support and they told me they can't do much about it. Same with AT&T they aren't helpful over the situation. This seems to be an issue a few people have had but I think it's time to get this issue fixed.
Please help I posted this on the AT&T LG G5 thread and no one has reply in over two weeks.

Try taking the Sim card tray out and booting into Android and see if your correct wifi Mac address shows up or not. I know on my t mobile h830 that had happened that my Mac address would show same as yours unless I had Sim card tray out. If it works, try doing factory reset with it out and booting into Android and all then put Sim card in and see if it sticks. Otherwise not really sure.

If nothing is working, I'd say it's a hardware issue with the Bluetooth / wifi card and you'll end up needing to send it in for service then.
Hi...did you ever figure out what was wrong with your LG? I'm having the same issue with Bluetooth on my rooted LG G3, it's saying 'Connection not allowed'.... Tried everything to fix it short of bouncing it against a wall. Can you help?
My Phoenix 4 (LM-X210APM) has this problem. I got it from my friend's dad and it always had this issue.
