That link shows an LS990 ZV4 unlocked on an international carrier. Sprint has always been willing to unlock the SIM for use with an international carrier. Even with Google Translate, none of the posts on that site make any sense. Were you saying this somehow meant domestic GSM unlocking was now possible?
GSM for LS990
I did not find the answer there.
I know him in this vietnamese site's

because the user indicates that they are cell phones with bad ESN.
this will unlock for domestic use? I have internationally unlocked, but would love to unlock domestic
Someone said change SPR to OPEN setup SIM and APN then change OPEN to spr reboot recovery wipe cache and this will make good for Domestic APN..I will try later on today and report back
Yeah it works...4G US GSM carriers
Im stoked to hear it works. 4g and spark hardly exists here. Can you report which carriers you connected to successfully with 4g? I heard only 3g was possible on tmobile (which has my interest for sim)

So what sim unlock method did you use? You are the first to claim your Sprint LG G3 is working with tmo and att. BTW, can you post some screens?
Customer already had the phone back..just root pull off build.prop change SPR to OPEN but back in phone make sure u check permissions..place SIM in phone use APN manager to add APN and then u can post screen shots [emoji2]

which parameter did u change in build.pro,I change the ro.build.target_operato and ro.carrier to open,the signal will show in satart quickly then instead of com.andorid.phone wrong all system ui wrong,u should toggle airplane mode then no wrong info. so I wander what u done could make it work fine with no wrong message? I need to wipe? or other operate?thx:laugh:
change ro.build.target_operator to spr instead of SPR.
changing it to OPEN will make the g3 crash over and over.

You need to fix the permissions to the build.prop to stop fc errors after editing the build.prop on the G3.
Everytime you edit the build.prop you need to fix its permissions before restarting your phone.

Thanks for the reply. How do it do that? I only changed the "spr" and changed the APN on the LTE and the MMS.

OK guys the title explains my predicament. I live in Costa Rica and am currently with the I.C.E for any of you that may be from here. I purchased a used S2 from a guy that bought it from Claro. So the first thing I did was get rid of the stock and I flashed everything like I wanted which is:
CheckROM v6
Using DarkKnight's Kernel
I'm using the KI3 radio but I have about 20 others and none of them changes my situation (coming up)
Original info was:
PDA-KG7
Phone- KG4
CSC - KH2
NOW here's the deal, my network icon has full bars but with an R for roaming. The phone works fine, I somewhat have data connectivity although SLOW, BUT when I go to APN settings there is nothing there NOR will it let me save a new APN, BUT I do get the 3G and H icons depending on where I am, I just can't program in a new APN or get rid of the Roaming icon no matter what ROM I flash, kernel or radio combination...
I have tried automatically and manually selecting my networks also, no dice...
I have of course already gone to *#*#4696#*#* and changed settings and tried all the variants but currently have it on WCDMA preferred.
I have also gone to *#2263# and tried all those variants but left it on WCDMA All Channels.
So I am more than open for any suggestions.
Go to Sammobile.com & search for stock firmware for your country/carrier (or just your country if they don't have any carrier specific firmware for your region), flash this firmware via Odin following whatever instructions Sammobile have for firmware downloaded from their site.
Once you've done that, check your APN setting & see if you have full connectivity. If for whatever reason your APN settings are blank (if you only end up downloading/flashing a country specific firmware only, for example), call your carrier for the APN settings and then enter these manually.
First thing you do when you have these problems is go back to stock & see if you can reproduce the problem or whether going back to stock fixes same

Thanks alot for your response MistahBungle.
Well on stock firmware is where I originally have the problem, that's the reason I began flashing ROMs and radios. IF I use a SIM from the original carrier which is Claro then all is well. BUT if I use a SIM from one of the other two carriers then the phone signal says roaming and I can't save any APN settings, no matter if I'm on stock firmware or any of the other ROMs or radio combinations that I have tried.
OK. Looks like we'll have to dig a bit deeper
So do you have baseband & IMEI in settings/about phone ? That issue of not being able to save APN settings with those other carriers sounds to me like a SIM or network issue. My first thought was it's a problem with the baseband, hence I suggested to flash a stock rom. But if that was the issue, you probably wouldn't be able to enter APN details for any sim/carrier.
Actually, now that I think about it. You know what it sounds like ? That the phone is network locked to your original carrier. That would explain everything.
If your phone *should* be locked (like you're on a contract where you only 'own' the phone at the end of the contract, etc), then I guess you can either pay the original carrier to unlock it. Or you can try one of the many unlock methods you can read about on here/apps you can get on the Market. Or if it shouldn't be locked yet it is, maybe ask the original carrier to unlock it.
You could also try flashing a specific rom for one of the other carriers, but I'm pretty sure that phone is network locked.

Ok just to clarify... all that makes sense, but what is ODD to me is that I don't think the phone is locked... I have full phone capabilities. I can make and answer calls, send texts, I even have full internet capability (even if I can't save any APN settings and there are none to be seen in the menu to choose from), I have the full speed of what I'm paying for from my carrier... the phone just won't let me SEE what APN settings it's using and in the signal it says R for roaming, but in networks it shows that it's connected to MY network...
Yes my IMEI does come up, BUT when I try one of those unlock apps I always get the message that it was unable to unlock it, but it's working with my carrier.
Ahhhh. OK. Yep that's a bit clearer now
OK. So we're pretty sure it isn't locked. That is really weird that it won't let you enter APN settings (regardless of which rom you're using), but you still have internet connectivity. Again, showing your network as the network connected to, yet showing up as roaming on the taskbar, is weird.
I've gotta say I"m pretty much stumped then. Haven't read a similar situation on here in the 4 mths I've been following the Q&A section of the board pretty much every day. Sorry I can't be of more help
Hopefully someone better qualified that me reads your post & can help. If you don't get a reply in a day or two, give it a bump.

Hey don't apologize, as you see no one else has ventured to give me a response either and I'm completely stumped myself. I looked for 5 days for an answer before I started a new thread because no one will go off on a noob for not searching quicker than I will, but I just haven't seen anyone with a similar situation on any forum anywhere...
THANKS AGAIN!!
Now to the rest of you devs, come on help a fella out and tell me what files I need to be looking for or modifying
Ok MistahBungles I got an update for ya... I decided to download a different firmware package (the PDA and Phone match mine but not the CSC), it's for Claro Argentina, BUT the ROM isn't branded when I booted it (the ROM the phone came had a CLARO boot logo (another reason I started looking for a different ROM)) and THIS ROM automatically has my APN settings in the menu without me doing a thing and the R in the signal is gone....
So now my question is how do I go about flashing the ROM I wanna use which is CheckROM but not lose my new found freedom (I ask because I'm not sure if this is a simple radio issue)

The Phone maybe Network Locked.(Not sim locked) As taken from gsmlocker.com:
Q. What sorts of locks are there?
A.
- lock phone to SIM
- lock phone to OPERATOR (network lock)
- lock phone to CODE (product lock = offer lock)
If your phone is locked to the sim you cannot use any other sim than the one you have: SIM broken makes phone useless.
If your phone is locked to an operator, you can use any SIM from this operator in your phone. You can switch between contract and prepaid as you wish, but not to a different operator.
If your phone is locked to a code, the phone checks a special "password" (GID) on the SIM that must match your phone. Providers often use different passwords for contract and prepaid.

OK I get your point BUT the phone if fully functional, I'm using a SIM from a different carrier, I have a data connection, make and receive calls, the whole nine yards, it just won't let me see what APN setting it's using and the R symbol is in the signal... once again, IT IS allowing the use of a different SIM from another carrier
Yes its the same as me! I have the R showing as well.(if you put the Claro sim in the R will disappear yes?)

BREAKTHROUGH... I think that I have found the culprit... since I live in Costa Rica I use Market Enabler... apparently whatever it changes is causing the problem, which is weird because I have 3 other android devices, I use the same app on all of them and don't have this issue... NOW I'm really scratching my head... guess I need to contact the dev?
Ahhh. So Market Enabler is changing the CSC which is causing the network settings to disappear/barf.
Nice work finding the source of the problem Yeah tell the dev. Hopefully they can find some sort of fix/workaround so you can still use Market Enabler.

Well I just through and installed and tried ALL the market unlocking apps and they all apparently do the same thing and causing the same result, my phone thinks it's roaming, so now the head scratcher is why my other Android devices don't behave in the same way?

Sorry to bump this up, but I'm having the exact same problem. I was wondering if you ever figured out how to fix it.
I have a HTC Sensation and it happened to me right after I upgraded my custom kernel version to a newer one.
I never installed Market Enabler nor Market Access but when I check the SIM info it shows incorrect MNC and MCC values which
I can't change... they won't save in the system options.
I thought maybe my SIM card is screwed up, so I'm thinking of getting a new one from my service provider.
I just have to check it on a different phone first.

So assuming this is a g900T, which carrier are you on?
If you're on any cellphone carriers other than tmobile you need to check and most likely create a new APN (access point name) specific to that carrier.

Other devices should just see it as any other wifi access point. I am on att and lte is working without issues. Others on vz are also not having issues. I would be interested in hearing if tmobile users are having the same issue.
It's as if 4GLTE is blocked. If other variants are working. There has to be a setting that I could set inside my phone that should enable Internet.
can confirm not working on [ROM] Twi5ted Lollipop 5.0 V1 i am however using the native tether app.would it make a difference if i were use WiFi Tether Router byFabio Grasso,that was the app i was using on 4.2.
The native hotspot in the stock tmobile rom and the tmobile 5.0 visionx rom creates its own apn settings and always defaults and reverts to pc.tmobile.com apn. This mod will only disable tethering verification and turn hotspot on. The only method I found to work is to make tethering apn and lte apn editable through customer.xml file using root Explorer. LTE apn needs to be set to ipv/4 only, turn on hotspot and go to settings, apn, and delete the tethering apn. You have to delete tethering apn every time you connect to the hotspot because the apn gets recreated by the app. If someone could figure out why it gets recreated that'd be awesome so the hotspot could default to LTE fast t-mobile.com apn. I can't find anything even changing the tethering apn in customer.xml file doesn't work. It gets recreated every time you turn on hotspot, but can be deleted once made editable through customer.xml file.

Lol, clearly stated. Anyways, my APNs are set to fast.metropcs.com. Not the default tmobile ones. It doesn't create any extra APNs.
In the customers.Xml, the LTE is ipv4 because I changed it thinking that the different protocols would interfere with the Internet access but it didn't. So I don't understand why it's still just 4G instead of LTE that is allowed through... Muniz, you think there is an area in the xml that we could change to test? Since there is a TMOBILE US Tethering section or something similar to that in that xml

If it's not too much of an issue, do you think you can post the customer xmls for both the Att and Verizon variants. To see if there's anything in there?
Also, do you know why it is only 4G speeds that are capable of going through?

Attached is the Vz customer.xml, it is very different. Also, try changing "pcweb.tmobile.com" to "fast.t-mobile.com" on line 348 of the Tmobile customer.xml. Worth a shot.
Hey Guys I bought a unlocked tmobile v10 on swappa that I wanna use on metropcs. I'm currently on verizon and will be moving to metropcs. I ordered my sim card yesterday. Will I have any trouble activating my sim in the v10? When I type in my phone on the list on metropcs it doesnt list it as compatible but I know it will be. Ive heard metropcs sims are linked to the imei on the phone and only that phone. So I have to reactivate any time I swap my sim in and out of different phones.
Also will I need to change any APN settings for metropcs or does it use all the same bands as tmobile does?
Thanks Guys Cheers!:highfive:
The APN settings will be locked when you get the phone, so you'll need to go into the dialer, dial 277634#*#, find "APN Unlock", click that then select the unlock option. Reboot your phone, then add your MetroPCS APN settings

Since MetroPCS is on T-Mobile's network, it's possible you won't even need to change your APN settings. If you do I imagine they'd have them on their website, but I've never used their service

Okay THanks! really appreciate it :fingers-crossed:
Bad news, the LTE functionality test hack used to edit apns on S9 and older phones doesn't work anymore. But good news is, if you know your MSL (all 0's for unlocked), you can create new APNs. Just dial ##3282#, put in your MSL, click APN Settings, and create a new APN with the same settings as APN2 LTE ... internet, but add dun at end of APN type.
You cannot modify the APN once you save it, but if you make a mistake, go to general management, reset, reset network settings to remove the APN you added and fix any problems.
Enjoy
EDIT: Updating profile deletes the APN so you should get used to creating new APNs frequently.

Does this back count toward data usage?

I do not believe so but I have not been able to verify yet. I can verify that it does switch APN because mobile data cuts off for a min when you switch to the one you made, and a similar procedure on the S9 did not count on my tethering data. I get 50gb and it didn't count at all, just my normal data. I will test with this new one though.
How can i get my sprint MSL ? Can I even get it from them if I am leasing the phone?

Just call andtell them you want it if they ask for what tell them you're a developer
Add button is greyed out... I am not unlocked, I used 6, 0's but it let me hit Ok
Hope to find better solutions.
Thanks this worked for me hopefully it sticks without profile getting updated.
How did you edit this my phone will not allow me to edit this its grayed out. I try to add a d it dose nothing
works. :good:
how to get "enhanced LTE" working? so LTE stay connected while on voice call?
It seems that after the new update, I can not change it to my new added apn. Anyone could help?
I just called Sprint and they have me all 0's as my MSL. So means I'm unlocked and I didn't even know. Unless they lied. I'm about to find out when I try this hack.
Update: boo add option is grayed out. I didn't take this newest update and I thought that was the update that prevented adding APN.
If I reset will it reset to the original software version I had when I initially bought phone or the last update?

It will reset to your current update. You could flash older though, as long as the bootloader's haven't changed, which I believe hasn't but could be wrong.

Thanks. I'm going to look for the version I had when I bought my phone 3/12/19.
I think that Hotpot is included with my Sprint plan. Yip I think it's 50gb hotspot.
Disregard.
Following along... MSL 0's, cant "add" anything... I rarely use the hotspot, but at times I *need* it.
Any idea if anyone has broken this yet? I’m in the same boat where even with my MSL the edit functions are greed out.
is this still working?

I'm on the most recent update, Got it only a few days ago. I purchased the phone outright from Bestbuy and my MSL seems to be all zeros. I was able to successfully enable wifi hotspot. This was one of the main reason I rooted my phones in the past. I know that this will be patched out eventually but it's awesome at the moment though.

would love to know if sprint folks still have the workaround for the wifi hotspot. I'm sitting on an unlocked S10 that I haven't shoved my SIM card in yet because I absolutely need the hotspot sometimes...
