Hi,
Perhaps I have found a method to unlock the LS990.
I dont know, if this works with us carriers.
I have tried it with a non US carrier and it works for me.
Needed:
Root
Root Explorer
Shortcut Master
1. Replace the two files in /carriers/apps with the two files below with Root Explorer
2. Reboot your phone
3. Open Shortcut master and select search
4. Search for apn adn select com.andoird.settings.ApnSettings and then click Launch
5. Select on the Top Right new apn
6. Fill this form out with the apn from your provider (If you don't know the apn look it up in google)
Done
Now everything should work
Still to do:
Disable the Hand free activation from sprint - I have not found the right app now
In the GSM mode my phone shows only GSM in the status bar and not G E H or H+ - Does someone know how to change this?
Automatic selection of the apn, this can perhaps be done with the file /etc/apns-conf.xml
I hopeed I could help some people, if the unlock was succesfull please give me a feedback
This is at your own risk.
Please do it only, if you know what you do!
Tried and it works. Indeed shows gsm to be as well but works.

Do we have to change the permission of those files. I am unable to get gsm signal after replacing the files. Shows a small x on top of the network bar, also the APN is not sticking.

On USA carrier?
No I am using it international
I could it only try on iternational carriers.
Perhaps everybody can write if the phone was used with sprint before and if it was activated.
My phone was not activated and I didn't use it with sprint.
I have done a factory reset before, so that everything was clear.
This is great man!!!
My phone was not activated and im now using it with a Mexican carrier (telcel) with no problems
So how many till now has been able to unlock this? Is it on a particular firmware only? Just wanting to be sure in case I buy this. Oh And is it permanent?

I located in China. I try the sims from CMCC/CU which is the two GSM carrier here and receive the same error.
I covered the two files and set the right permission same as original files, 640 and 600. I don't know what happened. I will take another LS990 to try again.

Editing the Build prop will give you a bootloops. Also we don't have a recovery yet.
Hi, so before I go out and purchase a new SIM I was hoping someone could help me. Originally I was trying to alter the MMS port set in my APN because MMS was failing over wifi due to running Adblock. In doing so I somehow managed to erase my Internet APN. I believe it was just set to vzwinternet.
So on my lg g3 I unfortunately have no way to add an APN, it works fine for wifi and calls still but I have no cellular internet at the moment. The only option when going to APN settings is Reset to Defaults, which does nothing as it just shows "No APNs". The mobile networks option is actually greyed out under Settings->Wireless & Networks->More... but I'm able to get to APN Settings still by using an app.
Possible solutions I've thought of, does anyone knows if these are possible?
A) Is there any way to edit my build.prop to allow me to add an APN such as "ril.sales_code=LOL & ro.csc.sales_code=LOL" (I've tried this it doesn't work).
B) Is it possible to re-add it by replacing apns-conf.xml in /system/etc/ ? If that is possible could someone post theirs so I can replace it?
C) Are there any root apps to allow me to add an APN? (from my research there aren't any since android 4.0)
Or am I just going to have to go out and get a new SIM? I've already master reset hoping it was software related and that hasn't helped.
EDIT: Nevermind guys fixed it by doing a reflash back to factory with lg flashtool. Nothing to see here *whistles*
Hi Jab
I met the same issue.
Could you please tell me how to reflash back to factory?
Thank you
You need to root it, and use shortcut master to open APN setting, same case with my US Cellular G3

So I installed Cyanogenmod 12.1 Android 5.1.1 to my Sony Xperia Z2, and after installation my phone wont connect to mobile network. Wifi works, and phonecalls work. There is exclamation mark in the signal icon, and when i connect to wifi it disappears. I didnt find any mistakes in APN. Could it be wrong baseband? Or what could it be?
Maybe internet settings are missing ? go to settings>more> internet settings> download settings for Internet and MMS. (I had the same problem but it is working fine now)

Check APN settings under the Wireless & Networking menu.You’ll find that no APN has been set. You’ll need to choose the one for your mobile operator or worse – manually enter the APN settings.After setting the APN you could need to restart your phone

I have dont that, and No help.. Could it be the baseband version problem? Im trying to install stock rom, test it if it then would work..
Call *#*#4636#*#* to enter phone settings or use this app and select Additional Info
Select Phone information
Set prefered network type to CDMA auto (PRL) and wait until your phone connects to 3G
Change prefered network to LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) maybe this works? If not I am sorry

The exclamatory means that there is no internet access. Ask your service provider for manual internet settings.

Now i have stock rom ranking,and after i installed the internet settings from mobile network settings, mobile data started running. In cyanogenmod i didnt have that option in settings so I think thats why mobile data didnt work on cyanogenmod.. How can i get cyanogenmod mobiledata working, without the option to install network settings?

Before Starting Make Sure You Have A Copy Of Your Internet Settings. (Everything in APN Settings)
Go to the Data Menu by entering ##DATA#
Select the APN Settings & Select Edit (Enter MSL)
Tap Each APN Separately (Select Edit & Enter MSL) & DELETE APNs (By Selecting The 3 Dots To The Right)
**You won't be able to delete ota apn but that's fine.
**Now you should have no internet!!!
Go To Regular Settings Then Select (More, Mobile Networks, Access Point Names) & Add APN Manually. **Adding "default,mms,supl,dun" under APN TYPE
**Put in all the correct settings the first time before saving APN. YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO GO BACK & EDIT APN AFTER IT'S SAVE. (The only way to correct the APN once saving it is to start at step one. Yes starting all over.)
Once You Put The Correct APN Settings In & Save It, LTE or DATA Should Show Up.

Same version as yours because there's no updates yet. If you're in good standing, call thrm and get the phone internationally unlocked. Tell them that you're going on a trip or something to another country and you would like to get the phone internationally unlocked. You must be in good atanding with Sprint to do so. Read the whole post I linked.
I called up one of my buddys that works at sprint got it UICC unlocked within 30 minutes now i have the apn settings that allow me to finally add things awesome!

No way that I know of of getting the MSL without Sprint. I came from the G5 so of course I triend the HiddenMenu app from the G5 but it didn't work on the G6. It's a new hidden menu app..... Hidden Menu 7.0

I took like 5 min worth of logs and got a lot. Advice is be quik once logs enabled. Setup wasnt to bad either. Follow the apps directions on goog play. Lol if i can do it just about anyone should be able to.

thanks.... i tried it with ##DATA# but i could not find the MSL code or hex code to extract MSL even searched log for 1 hour with "OEM_HOOK_RAW" text.. anyways I got MSL just now from sprint by activating it temporarily on a sprint account.
Anyways The issue now is I am not able to delete APNs as no option comes to delete in APN settings by ##DATA# for all APNs but ota.. option to delete comes for ota and i enter MSL but nothing happens...
Do I need to put sprint sim and let it register to network and then do PRL update and profile update?
I am afraid to do it as it will install sprint logo and sprint apps if i do it.. i think i can remove some using ##BRAND# but doing that will it effect my unlock?
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance..
Has anyone gotten this to work on the S9+ yet? I don't plan on activating mine until it is, and was hoping the same thing that worked on S8's would on this model as well.
Ive tried the S 7 Edge mod Here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-s7-edge/how-to/hotspot-bypass-nougat-ok-t3563446)
but it makes the "you havent subscribed to hotspot" message come up (have to factory reset to get it back)
Sucks because it didnt even count data toward it. I think it has to do with OREO and wording changes in the CSC.
You keep looking and I will keep trying and hopefully we will get this going

This is what worked for me. My Shortcut Master Lite program had the APN greyed out. I followed these instructions to a T!
This..............
1) Dialer App, ##3282# (DATA)
2) Edit
3) Sprint MSL for mine is 000000
4) APN Settings
5a) "APN" and "APN protocol" should be editable. Make a minor change, save your APN.
5b) Then change them back, save the APN again. Do this for each APN you want full access to.
6) Open the Shortcut Master Lite and open LTEFunctionalityTest
7) Open LTE APN Setting
8) If it's greyed out, close everything and then restart from #6.
9) Edit APN Type, add ",dun" to the end.
10) After you finish editing, save, and you should be good to go.

just factory reset if you wrote to the global settings with ADB from the old MOD. the language is different in the build prop.
the ONLY way to get the build prop back is a factory reset. we are working on a new ADB method now!
