In the new Hangouts update, it says what carrier you're on, in a small message under the text box. Instead of saying Sprint, it says Chameleon. When I go into Settings > About Phone > Network and under Network, it says LG, usually it says Sprint.. Can anyone help me get it back to Sprint, please? All help is appreciated. May I add I noticed this after doing a factory reset using the LG Flash Tool.

Are you missing WiFi Calling, Sprint Boot Animations and other Sprint bloat? If so try using ##RTN# (need your MSL for it) in the dialer (I forgot if this wipes data, it may so backup your internal/external storage just in case)
If you have all of those try ##SCRTN# or ##UPDATE#

Having the exact same issue after flashing with LG Flash Tool. It isn't a functionality problem, cell and data still work. Have you resovled this issue?
I also tried dial-er code above, ##SCRTN# & ##UPDATE#, as fergie716 suggested. Neither of which changed the network or brand now listed.
anyone have any idea why this happens or what it is?
Did you make an EFS backup? You can try and restore that. To make sure it isn't messed up. Info is in the FAQ.
If you didn't, don't do it now as it may be corrupt.
Xposed, and modifying the build.prop and cause that issue also.

As tititle says, after upgrading from 1.6 to 1.8.1 cannot seem to connect to telus' 3g.
I have waited to see if other people have that issue on rom's thread but there seem to be very rare.
I noticed that in device radio settings, nothing was checked, initially.
I have tried all of them, including right now hsdpa + hsupa and redid fixed permissions, erased cache to no avail.
I was thinking that the only option would be probably to reflash all the roms that i missed? Such as 1.7 then 1.8 and this one in the end. If i were to do that, though, where can i find the old files?
Many thanks
HAve you tried manually inputing the APN settings? Just google "(your carrier) apn settings"
Thanks for your reply.
I didn't change it and seemed ok, ip and port matched telus profile on theirs website.
I have read about flashing a different modem ..would that help? How to do that if so?
I'd add these strange things i noticed, maybe might give someone some ideas on what's wrong: firstly, it seems that all settings under mobile data that have a radio box were unchecked. How can that be? As i mentioned, under settings > device setings> hspa nothing was checked, i had to check something so i finally chose 3rd option.
On the same note, under mobile data networks > apn, the default apn, telus, wasn't checked initially, even though it, too, is a radio box.
Finally, under the same mobile data netw menu > network operators, whenever i select telus, after discovery, it always says registered on network.
Thanks for any idea on how to solve this.
I have the exact same issue, except my carrier is TalkMobile (Vodafone UK). I was on standard 2.3.3 rooted, then went to 1.8.1 Res Remix ICS.
---------- Post added at 11:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 PM ----------
I got mine working, I had to contact talkmobile (my carrier) and they sent the settings out to my phone. Mine is working ok now.
I messed around with the 0001.prl and it was adviced with it to change the mode using some code in the dialer like *#*#89983## something im not sure, well i messed it up. I get x service under sprint and only 1X roaming. I need help on restoring the settings I changed.
The 00001 PRL shouldn't be used anymore as Sprint is canceling people's service because of it. There are several threads in the general section that should be able to help you update to the latest PRLs though.

My prl is not the problem..im on 24006 now, i need to restore my regular service.
The more information you can post about what you did or which guide you followed the easier it will be to help you, but from what you've said so far it sounds like you changed the preferred network.
If so you should be able to fix it by dialing *#*#4636#*#* -> Select 'Phone Information' -> 'Set prefered network type:' to CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto

i cant even remember what it was, and the thread I got it from Im pretty sure was deleted.
You messed up the auto frequency. I did it before and there is a way to fix it but I do not remember how.
You can try ##SCRTN#
That resets and reconfigures all network related settings. You'll just need to know your MSL.

Not to be confused with ##RTN# which hard resets a phone.
---------- Post added at 05:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------
By the way, sprints policy is to repair a rooted phone just as if it were not rooted. If any employee ever tries to argue about that tell them to check their methods and procedures.

Ok, I suddenly have lost LTE data and cannot make phone calls.
I have pulled the sim card and reinserted but I keep getting a popup window asking me if I want to connect to Global and not CDMA/LTE. I change the request to LTE and make sure setting is there.
It won't connect to 4G. and keeps asking about Global.
I am rooted and ROM'd with unlocked bootloader and have even tried my trusty stock image -- no go!
All of my ROM backups have the same issue and I can't place a call.
:crying:
Yes, my bill is paid and in order.
What can I do? I doubt VZW will help me since it is a Dev Edition and I purchased through Samsung, not them.
APN settings seem to be blacked out so I cant change. It does allow me to delete it.
HELP! I need to place calls.

If it persists across different roms it sounds like either faulty sim or for some reason your modem or kernel is corrupted. I would re flash modem. After that try to re flash kernel. If that fails a new sim might be in order. I presume you have checked with another phone to be sure it's not a VZW problem.

Thanks! I will try the modem route first and then the kernel route.
Although each ROM has a different kernel, so I don't think that is the issue.
Yes, no problem with VZW as the other half's phone is working.
Data works on LTE for Internet but can't place any calls and all received calls do not ring phone: goes into VM.
Edit: at Verizon and not SIM card. New SIM card gives me voice but no data. Says voice roaming.
Ok, here is the problem after 2 new sim cards: Data is showing as "CDMA RX1TT" I cannot get data or voice now. Says voice is roaming with a triangle.
Is this a software setting or hardware setting? Something has changed on my phone, despite changing from stock to ROMS, etc.
VZW store is at a loss and though the rep was good, suggested I call top tier VZW support tomorrow and made notes in my account.
So, any clues as to what could cause this? Is my Dev phone now shot?
If it truly is an APN issue i can post my APN from my Verizon SGS4 and you can use an app called APN backup and restore to push it to your phone or push it manually using root explore and then set permissions. Let me know.

You might have a corrupted EFS partition in which case you would need to restore a good copy of that. Some of the time its in LTE/GSM mode for whatever reason in which case you would need to change it to LTE/CDMA mode.

I had a "DUH" moment when I was in a similar situation. I had forgotten that I had enabled the hidden menu on my DevS4 and changed the "band" preferences to try and force the AWS band. This took the phone off of "automatic band connecting" and I was unable to connect to data. Once I remembered what I had done, I simply when back into the menu and switched from forcing AWS band back to "automatic". Just my 2 cents.

Hello Everyone! Sorry for the delay. Actually, this is what kinda occurred, as the 1/15 build of OctOs ROM which I flashed had an issue and it was posted on Facebook, which I didn't see until Saturday. It changed the CDMA subscription to NV and so even with stock or other ROM backup images, it carried over and didn't re-adjust. I had to reinstall that bad ROM, make some changes per OctOs instructions and BAM: all is well.
As you know on stock rooted, one cannot change certain settings and they were greyed out.
At least I got another backup sim card from VZW should I ever need to activate an older phone.
Thanks for everyone's help!

Try ##UPDATE# in the dialer. Choose the corresponding numbers.
It'll do a hands free activation and should fix your problem.
Thank you i will give this a shot when i get home.

I'm a Boost Mobile Rep that's the code to reactivate the device to make sure that it's not the problem and when you do it make sure your connected to Wifi, once you are you can use the code again and it should work provided that you are in the service area.

It does it and then it says "Network not available" It's like I unactivated my phone.. Won't let me send texts or make phone calls.
You're saying use the code again? It also says to contact customer service and tell them I have a code 97 when sending messages.

Attempt to find a way to carrier unlock the LG Tribute HD (LG LS676) without having root access.
One consideration, GCPro Key might operate by generating a 'pseudo key' which tricks the phone into believing the system has been unlocked by the carrier. This is deployed to the phone via adb. If this is the case, it would not require root.
Second consideration, begging and pleading with Sprint to perform OTA unlocks. This doesn't seem likely.
So, just as an update, I was able to get the phone to recognize a FreedomPop global sim, but without being able to edit the APN settings, it is unusable.
Have you tried to change the APN by dialing ##3282# to get the Data settings menu? It requires entering the MSL to edit.
I looked at the APN settings, but even with the MSL given to me by Ting it didn't seem to want to let me edit any.
I just unlocked my friend's with gsmzambia. Everything working perfectly.
this gsmzambia is bot

It was activated on Ting, and they were able to perform an International SIM unlock.
Since APN's cannot be edited, it isn't worth very much, though

Can you post a screenshot of the APN settings Add/Edit view as a starter? I have MSL code too but unable to add/edit APN.
It took me a bit of time to figure out what is being suggested above related to following the G5 procedure to unlock the Tribute HD, so I am posting here to make it easier for everyone else trying to unlock this device.
For starters, you don't need the Service Programming Code (SPC), you don't need it rooted, nor do you need to have it internationally unlocked by a Sprint MVNO -- I unlocked two, and the second was pretty much straight out of the box (the first was internationally unlocked first).
Follow the instructions here for the G5 -- Same Hidden Menu app APK and same first 8 steps up to the point where you reboot and are about to add the new APN:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g5/how-to/guide-gsm-unlock-sprint-lg-g5-t3574819
Then, to add the new APN, which is where I struggled to find the solution and the "trick" to creating the new APN was recently posted towards the end of the G5 thread. To create the APN, use the Hidden Menu app and do the following:
1) Select IOT (GDG2),
2) Select LTE Setting
3) Select APN Setting
4) Now press and hold the multi-function key (the little square task-switcher on the lower right of the screen) and select NEW APN
5) Fill in at least the following 3 fields:
NAME -- Call it anything you want
APN -- Enter the APN for your carrier
APN Type -- Enter "default,dun" (without the quotes).
Note: If you have other APN entries that you know, please add them too -- the above 3 items will get at least the web working (and perhaps hotspot), but you may need additional carrier-specific settings for SMS/MMS/etc..
When you are finished entering the APN entries, press and hold the multifunction (little square) key again and select SAVE.
Make sure your new APN has the radio button selected on the right side of the screen, and then back your way out to the main menu and close the Hidden Menu app. Close the Hidden Menu app with the task switcher.
Your device should now show either 3G or LTE for your GSM-based carrier. The web should work, as should calling (admittedly I used FreedomPop SIMs for my testing so I was only able to test 3G with the Global SIM and LTE with the AT&T LTE SIM, but I didn't test calling/texting/MMS with a US-based SIM myself). If something isn't working, I'll borrow a T-Mo postpaid SIM from another phone and try to provide further assistance.
Kudos and thanks to all of those who figured out the G5 -- I am merely outlining the steps they developed here for the Tribute HD.
