Verizon LG Intuition VS950 GSM Unlock? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear all,
I bought Verizon LG Intuition VS950 phone from US and would like to use it in Vietnam. But when I insert the sim to the phone, nothing happened.
Anyone know how to unlock the phone to work on GSM?
Thank you very much.

To use the intuition on gsm networks you should followvthe next steps:
1.- Need to be rooted, if tou are not rooted use framaroot with gandalf exploit
2.- Use a root explorer or a buld.prop editor and change a line on it:
ro.build:target_operator=VZW
TO THIS:
ro.build:target_operator=OPEN
this line apear twice on buld.prop so bu shure to modify both
3.- install NETWORK by Philipp Mangelow from playstore its free
4. Turn off yoyr device insert your gsm simcard, and turn on again the device.
5.- once your booted, open NETWORK and change network type to WCDMA PREFERED, now you should be using gsm... to get data working just set you APN on mobile network settings
**This steps, are for JELLYBEAN, IF YOU ARE ON ICE CREAM SANDWICH just install NETWORK an change network type dont need modify build.prop or be rooted***
If this help you, you can paypal donate me to [email protected]

What carrier did you switch to?
Sent from my VS950 4G using XDA Free mobile app

I use all carriers in México... Im from México... In telcel only works 2g because it dont hace the 850 3g frecuency

So I changed my build.prop from VZW to OPEN. I'm getting better 4G LTE signal and I did notice that my multitask key stopped working, which is fine because I don't use it. I have also seen that when my screen turns on (using the button) it gradually brightens up; doesn't matter what screen brightness I set it at. I haven't modified anything else. Have you ran into this anomaly?

So I took my wife's T-Mobile sim card and put it in my phone. It read the service as T-Mobile and I had excellent service, but it was showing that I was roaming and I didn't have any data connectivity at all. Did you have to change anything else in the build.prop or any other files?

[Q] Incredible 4G On T-Mobile

Hello again, everyone. The last thread I had was about trying to get this phone on Cricket, which failed MISERABLY.
Not sure if it's the phone yet, but since the phone can accept a SIM/GSM card, I took a look at T-Mobile, already got the estimate for what my plan would cost, etc. I really don't want to buy another handset, especially after going through the four-day blundering around until I got a custom rom on this phone.
However, now that I know how to do it, I should be able to load Cyanogen on any device that is supported.
That being said, any users here have experience with T-Mobile? In theory, would the phone work after accepting the SIM card and getting programmed by T-Mobile?
I tried using Google, I tried searching for using this phone on T-Mobile, but found nothing helpful.

Ok, THIS time, the phone radio was updated. Apparently, I could not use internal storage. Silly me. Thanks for the new radio image, getting a G instead of an E on my internet!
But a quick google search reveals GPRS instead of EDGE. Is that progress? Changed to WCDMA preferred again, and still nothing with a 3 AND a G.

Not sure if this is important, but I switched to the Viper 2.2 ROM just to try it out (plus it supports DIAG) For some reason, when I load T-Mobile APNs on CM 10.1, it will hang on the boot screen for a REALLY long time.
Okay, got CM 10.1 working. Still working on EDGE. Going to try and reflash the radio to see if that works.
So it turns out the radio IMG hangs the boot. After it is loaded, cache will not mount in recovery mode.
Update: the bands are not supported by this phone.
LTE 700MHz; CDMA 2000 1x/EVDO Rev 0/A 800/1900MHz; UMTS/HSPA dual band (2100/900) and quad band GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900)
Compared to the Optimus L9...
WCDMA 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100
GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
And then I find the radio for the Google Nexus 4... And I think if I can set the phone's frequencies, it should work. Google Nexus 4 has UMTS/HSPA 2100. Just the CDMA won't be WCDMA.
Which bands are not supported?
Isn't UMTS/HSPA dual band (2100/900) 3g?
I'm headed to singapore where they use 2100 I believe so I'm curious about this (and the radio update). I have 1.53.06.0919 currently.

[Q] How to force Verizon Galaxy S4 to use gsm 2G outside of USA

Hello everybody
My cousin from the USA bring me a Verizon Galaxy S4, I putted a local gsm carrier sim card and it worked fine, I have rooted it and installed hyperdrive on it, but the problem is that it's always on the gsm 3g network which consumes a lot of battery and I can't force it to use the 2g network since this option isn't available unlike the international version of the galaxy s4
Is there any way to force it to use 2g gsm network?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda premium
Verizon does not use any form of GSM. You are more likely on a CDMA network.

Download the app from the store called phone info. Open it and select gsm only. This way you'll force the phone to work on 2g(gsm).

Hi,
My uncle has got me a new Verizon S4 from USA in India. He did not turn it on in USA neither he has activated the phone. He simply got me the box packed phone.
I inserted an Indian GSM SIM card and switched it on, it did recognize the service provider and then asked me couple of questions to select languages and all.
However it does not select a Network Operator. My Network operator is Airtel. It shows a List of Local Network Operators but when i select any of them, it says "Registering on selected network operator" but then it fails.
Can some one help me over come it and how i can use this phone in India?
Try to add apn for your provider and chose to search for the network automatically. Should work.

You need to edit your apns. Go to voice dialer, say open apns, then enter the correct one for your carrier. I would look up your carrier name and it's apn settings on Google. Once you enter and set them, you should be good.

(Q)sprint phone unlocked for gsm in canada, thinks its roaming?

I unlocked my sprint ls990zv4 for gsm use in canada with WIND mobile using the carrier folder method, only problem is it thinks its roaming. im connected to WIND AWAY intead of WIND. could this be because of buil. prop target carrier? i even tried changing the target country to CA instead of US and changing SPR to spr , bootloop even after changing permissions to rw r r.
i changed the target carrier to OPEN, no boot loop for the first time. the signal bar look has changed and some of the settings items have changed but still only getting roaming.

I unlocked my sprint ls990zv4 for gsm use in canada with WIND mobile using the carrier folder method, only problem is it thinks its roaming. im connected to WIND AWAY intead of WIND. could this be because of buil. prop target carrier? i even tried changing the target country to CA instead of US and changing SPR to spr , bootloop even after changing permissions to rw r r.

If it's not in the update menu, I'm not sure if you can. Maybe try setting your network type to global then if there is no PRL.

In the General forum on one of the unlocking threads there's a hidden menu apk and some instructions on how to switch network types. Can't remember which one though.
