[Q] Can it be unlocked? - Sprint LG G3

I've read a couple of posts about this, but it seems there's not a clear criteria about it. So I want to buy an LG G3. I live in Costa Rica. The cheapest version of this phone on ebay is the Sprint version, but the unlock codes available for sale on several websites for the LG G3 only support the AT&T and T-Mobile version.
So, I really need to know if the Sprint version of the LG G3 can be somehow unlocked (not by requesting to Sprint the unlock code, because most ebayers don't even have a Sprint account haha, which is kind of suspicious how they got hands on one of these devices ). Can someone please tell me for sure if there's a way to unlock this phone and use it internationally on a WCDMA (3G) network (with micro SIM card)? If there is, does it depends on the specific ROM/version/model? I don't want to buy this phone and ending up without being able to use it as a phone in my country.
Thank you so much in advance for any information/tip you could provide me! :good:

Buenos días
Efectivamente, en el siguiente post te indican como liberar el equipo, http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/unlock-sim-gsm-how-to-t2853594 el rom debe ser de fabrica, aunque de momento no hay ningun rom cocinado para el telefono.
puedes comprar la versión de sprint sin problemas y ocuparlo con tu operador local, solamente revisa que bandas ocupar para el 3G para el 2G el telefono es cuatribanda.

hmm
be specific mann

Yes.it can be unlocked . I am sure ... Cause i saw someone sell this phone and have unlocked it to use gsm /cdma..

Radio ROM for PR?

Hi, does anyone knows which Radio ROM works better in the Caribbean area. I live in Puerto Rico and my carrier is Claro (formely Verizon Wireless). Right now i'm using Radio 1.48.00.00 in my ATT 8525. I constantly upgrade the OS Rom, but I don't wanna risk my device upgrading my Radio testing every popular Radio ROM as I don't really know much about the matter. Also, sorry for my english.
Thanks in advance for any help.
have u checked the wiki pages there may be something that could help u find the right radio rom but u have done a good thing to not flash lots of diff roms as they can brick ur hermes, if you cant find one and no1 knows of a better one i would suggest sticking to the one youve got.
hope this helps and that you can find a better radio
Have fun
Thanks. I did some search in the wiki's but i couldn't find radio upgrade that said that works for Claro in Puerto Rico. I think I will stick to the one I'm currently using hehehe.
thats probably the best idea if you have not been able to find one that works

Better signal for your htc clone t3232
Estimados Boricuas y amigos:
Para todo aquel que tenga problemas con la senal de su htc t323 clone o cualquier otro... Todos estos smart phone tiene una antena interior demasiado raquitica, porqueria, mier..... no vale dos centavos... y por tener tantos edificios y montanas, la senal se pierde... Saben que hice? habri el celular con mucho cuidado... encontre la maldita antena barata de pulguero... la arranque con mucho cuidado, le instale literalmente en su lugar un alambre de cobre fino (al wifi tambien).... y resulto el problema.... de "0" a cuatro barras!!!!!!!!.... No gasten dinero en repetidores ni 8/4... en breve posteo unas fotos para que vean... Estuve como dos meses buscando "radios" para instalarle y ninguno servia... y lo resolvi con un pedacito de alambre de cobre... "mas vale mana que fuerza"

En primer lugar nuestras disculpas por la tardanza en daros alguna solución o contestación, comentaros que al respecto del permiso para desbloquear el bootloader de los terminales Xperia, y tras estar en contacto directo con Sony, os podemos confirmar que el parámetro que da permiso a la modificación de la programación, por motivos de seguridad se está activando automáticamente en aquellos terminales que tienen simlock, independientemente de la operadora que sean. Movistar desconocía la existencia de dicho bloqueo, y por tanto no ha sido una solicitud por nuestra parte, sino que como hemos indicado previamente, lo activa el fabricante ya que el desbloqueo del bootloader lógicamente reduce la seguridad del simlock. Ahora que sabemos de la existencia de dicho parámetro, nos parece lógico que los terminales tengan el bootloader bloqueado, pero hemos solicitado a Sony que si es posible el propio código de simlock también habilite el permiso para desbloquear el bootloader de ahora en adelante.
En tanto en cuanto se aplica esta nueva política de desbloqueo (os queremos recordar que el desbloqueo del bootloader puede implicar la pérdida de la garantía) y puesto que no es posible habilitar el permiso para desbloquear el bootloader mediante la introducción de ningún código, la solución que Sony nos ha propuesto, es que aquellos de vosotros que queráis habilitar dichos permisos, y tras haber liberado el terminal a través del Simlock, os pongáis en contacto con el servicio de atención al cliente de Sony Xperia en [email protected] indicando vuestro e-mail el IMEI y código de desbloqueo de tu Xperia.
Un saludo
Good day, everyone!
[Tr. This text is somewhat awkwardly worded, so my apologies if sounds that way, just trying my best to make it as clear as possible]
For starters, our apologies for taking so long in replying or giving a solution, just to tell you that, about the ability to unlock your bootloader on Xperia phones, and after direct contact with Sony, we can confirm that the parameter that permits the modification of the programming is, for security reasons, being automatically activated in SIM-locked devices, no matter the carrier.
Movistar did not know about said locking mechanism, and, for that reason, it was not done by our request, but, as previously indicated, by the device makes, since unlocking the bootloader will, logically make the SIM-lock less safe.
Now that we know of the existence of said parameter, it seems logical to us that the devices have their bootloaders locked, but we have requested Sony to make it so that unlocking the SIM-lock code would enable bootloader unlocking as well, from now on.
As long as this new policy on unlocking (we wish to remind you that unlocking the bootloader could mean losing your warranty) and because it's not possible to enable unlocking the bootloader via any code, Sony has proposed a solution.
That those of you that wish to enable unlocking, and after unlocking the device through SIM-lock, should get in contact with Sony Xperia Customer Support at [email protected] with your e-mail, IMEI and your Xperia unlocking code.
Greetings.

Someone care to translate it better than Google Translate for the rest of us? From what I was able to decipher if you get a Simunlock code you can some how get the Bootloader Unlock Allowed changed to Yes?

Yeah, in Spain if you get a Simunlock, sony takes your phone for 5 days I believe, and returns it to you wit the the bootloader unlocked.

Good morning to everyone s
First of all our apologies for the delay in giving you a solution or answer, tell you that the matter of permission to unlock the bootloader of the Xperia terminals, and after being in contact with Sony, I can confirm that the parameter that gives permission to modification of the schedule, for safety reasons it is automatically activating those terminals that have simlock, regardless of the operator they are. Movistar was unaware of that lock, and therefore has not been a request by us, but as noted previously, is activated by the manufacturer as logically bootloader unlocking the simlock reduces security. Now we know of the existence of this parameter, it seems logical that the terminals have the bootloader locked, but we have asked Sony if possible simlock code itself also enable the permission to unlock the bootloader from now on.
As long as this new policy applies unlock (I want to remember that unlocking the bootloader can involve the loss of the guarantee) and since you can not enable the permission to unlock the bootloader by entering a code, the solution Sony has proposed is that those of you who want to have such permits, and having released through Simlock terminal, you get in touch with the customer service of Sony Xperia in questions.es @ support.sonymobile . com indicating your e-mail and the IMEI unlock code for your Xperia.
greetings

Already spoke to them, its an agreement they have with networks, so they can't help.
Sony suggested I came to xda for a solution.

Spoke to o2 first. They told me if I sim unlocked my phone, the bootloader status would change to yes.
I got the code from them, sim unlocked my phone, obviously didn't work.
So I spoke to them again, and they said the bootloader was broken but as it didn't affect functionality of the phone they wouldn't do anything.
Hope someone finds a way round soon.
Awful not being able to flash cm roms after getting rid of my x10.

Live web chatted with a confused woman for 30 minutes who ended our conversation by saying
Yes, when you will sync the phone then in phone maintenance you will get an option to tick/untick the bootloader.

Did it work (Have a guess) how come the lucky people who live in spain get the status > Yes?

Samsung S5 G900T No signal in Venezuela

Good professional ones,
Over here I ask for your great help regarding my team Samsung S5 G900T LTE T-MOBILE, I'm from Venezuela to the city of Valencia and the team that I have is unlocked, but I do not work with any operator, the computer will recognize the movistar line (which is used) but not make calls and also browse effectively.
I would like to do some things?
1- some method can repair this?
2- there is someone with the same problem it has been repaired?
3- I can replace the base band of one model to another eg by G900FXXU1BNL9 G900TUVU1DOB1 baseband?
I hope your great help to resolve this situation and thanks.
Has Podido resolverlo? No Signal TMobile
Hola tengo el mismo problema con mi T-Mobile S5 has podido resolver este inconveniente ? Dime como lo hiciste en caso de que si Gracias!!!

Problem with 4G/LTE S9+ SM-G9650

Hello guys, After 1 week using my new phone with my company (WOM chile) my 4g stopped working correctly ( slow, no signal, etc ) I restored my phone to factory settings, change the micro sim, speak with my company but the problem still persists.
I tested my 4g signal with an app "OpenSignal" it says that my network is "celular" in the speed test. testing it with a friend's phone ( Galaxy s7, same company) it says "wom network" and excellent speeds
My firmware is at G9650ZHU2ARC6, product code is g9650zajcho
is there a way to "reset, doing a fresh install" to the phone? like a flash to the modem, rom ? where can i find the correct files to do it with odin? maybe i can fix it that way
thanks
pd:sorry for my english
You may use SamFirm with CSC CHO to download your firmware.

Follow this link and it has at&t a12. Note though it's the 1u1 version meaning it's carrier unlocked (I believe, could be wrong, pretty new to the s21 and Samsung).
But, to answer your question, it's always better to have an 'open' rom rather than a carrier rom just because of the lack of 'bloat'.
that said, some carriers, and at&t is known for this, require you (or they used to) be running their rom before certain features will work, like volte for example. They also, at least used to, your device to be one of 'theirs', they verify that by checking imei.
It's kind of impossible to answer your question given the variables and you don't say which carrier you want to use your device with, or even if it's carrier unlocked.
AsItLies said:
Sigue este enlace y tiene at&t a12. Tenga en cuenta que es la versión 1u1, lo que significa que su operador está desbloqueado (creo que podría estar equivocado, bastante nuevo en el s21 y Samsung).
Pero, para responder a su pregunta, siempre es mejor tener una rom 'abierta' en lugar de una rom portadora solo por la falta de 'inflación'.
dicho esto, algunos operadores, y at & t es conocido por esto, requieren que usted (o solían hacerlo) esté ejecutando su rom antes de que funcionen ciertas funciones, como volte, por ejemplo. También, al menos solían, que su dispositivo fuera uno de 'suyos', lo verifican al verificar imei.
Es un poco imposible responder a su pregunta dadas las variables y no dice con qué operador desea usar su dispositivo, o incluso si está desbloqueado.

gracias por responderme, mi s21 fue desbloqueado recientemente para usar con tigo carrier, actualmente solo uso tigo como carrier
when inserting the tigo chip it asks me for a code, I recently took it to a trusted place and they told me that I could use it with any operator
For those who have the same device, I can tell you that if possible I currently have Android 12 on my att g991u, which is now g991u1
