Hello everyone, this is my first post here and I am in need of desperate help.
I have looked everywhere I could but (my bad) I am not into all this stuff at all. I am not familiar with ROMs Kernels etc. I just follow tutorials blindly.
I have a galaxy s2 bought which I bought in the UK. It was locked on 3 network. Later I moved to another country where I got it unlocked for about $35 but that still showed signs of 3 network (The 3 startup logo, 3 bookmarks in web browser etc), however the phone was unlocked now and picked up any network I used.
I noticed the phone stopped giving me any kind of updates and it was on andriod 2.0.1.
I looked up the internet on how to install latest updates for my phone.
Found out this guide and went thorough all the process: goo.gl/yJSga8
Everything went fine but when the phone booted up, it asked me to enter "sim network unlock pin" and now all networks are inaccessible.
I am pretty much stuck at this point. Found guides telling to root the phone and then installing apps like Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock by Chainfire.
I have tried it once and was near to kill my phone. (The yellow triangle appeared at startup and got stuck there. No boot.) I just re-flashed the firmware by following the first guide again and now the phone is like before asking for sim network unlock pin.
I have attached the screenshot of the info that you might need.
I am willing to pay $15 via PayPal if anyone can help me out to fix this issue. (I am a bit hesitant using the rooting method as I an afraid I might kill my phone. But if that's the only choice then I will go with it)
Please ignore if I sound really stupid as I really don't know about this stuff. Please ask me any details that I may have missed out.
Thank you very much!

If you don't want to root, then you'll have to call your carrier and ask for an unlock code. Mine has that service at least, don't know about all carriers.
As far as solving your problem goes if your carrier won't help out... The thing that works for a lot of members here is to root, then use galaxsim unlock app, by xda member spocky12. Search for the thread.
That app requires root access... To do that, easy way is to flash philz kernel from recovery mode. Search up philz kernel thread here on xda and read up how to flash it

Hello hopper, thanks for the response.
I took your first suggestion but instead of calling the company itself I used an online service unlockliberty.com.
They charged me $20 via PayPal and almost instantly sent a code to my email address.
I entered the code on the phone but it gave me "Network unlock request unsuccessful" error.
Contacted support and they sent me a defreeze code and instructed me to restart, enter the defreeze code instead of the unlock code and then it will say "Network unlock request unsuccessful" and after that enter the unlock code. I did the steps and it worked like a charm! my phone is now unlocked.
I really recommend their services if you are in a similar situation.
Thanks alot!
Hi Fellow Users!
I just bought LG v10 yesterday with international warranty even though i live in UAE, the problem is i am following all the steps from "step by step guide to root for tmo" but unfortunately i am not able to boot into phone recovery which is odd for me as i am a long time user of android, is that possible my phone doesn't have one? I tried everything adb, manually but nothing worked, i once booted my phone into recovery via adb but i saw green android picture with no command written on it and fastboot didn't worked there so there is that.
1) i tried dirty_cow but stuck at getenforce "permissive didn't appeared which is must needed, i think its related to my bootloader"
2) should i follow LGUP procedure even i am not sure my bootloader is unlocked?
P.S my phone is TMO although its unlocked to use any network.
Please advise, thank you
Unfortunately flashing KDZ file bricked my phone, :crying:
Now its just off it doesn't turn on tried everything any advise?
Update: Went to LG TechServe and handed over my phone to re-flash the original firmware, bad thing they don't cover international warranties as i live in UAE and the model i have is TMO with international warranty so there's that.
Reason to share the story, may people learn from this.
Have you tried with Kingroot app or kingoroot app? These apps can root many devices.
Hey everyone!
I have seen very few threads on this phone, and i hope you all will be able to help!
i have the metropcs varient of this phone. The company says it is able to be unlocked but it wont unless i connect it to their network [i do not have $ to start services with them] but i would like to unlock the phone.
The app "unlock device" keeps telling me to reboot and try again, and putting a new sim card in does not allow me to put in a code.
any thoughts? thank you in advanced for the help!
i would like to unlock my phone too. help XDA.
Same ??
Any thoughts, threads, it anything on this phone, the Alcatel 5054n? Metro pcs gave me the network unlock pin but there's nowhere to enter it. My phone is rooted but I can't get the bootloader unlocked... PLEASE HELP
Hello, sorry for my English
I used the RegionLock Away application to free my Alcatel Fierce XL 5054n Brand device from the PCS metro company
This application uses root to work, and to date I have been occupying my phone for 4 months with a different chip from the company Movistar (Mexico)
I have a ANS UL40 phone through Assurance wireless / >Virgin Mobile> Sprint.. and am trying to root this phone so I can get the SPC code to run DFS tools. Have used DFS and loaded phone and unlock with default password, but when I try 000000 spc unlock says device offline and all prompts in all fields go from yellow to red and in a few minutes go back to yellow showing device info.
I need info off this phone to flash my SM-N900P phone over to Assurance Wireless. The UL40 phone uses a sim card, have tried in note 3 but no service and then sim locked please reboot phone. I have tries on UL40 many different rooting apks and through pc. Most say root fail or your phone doesn't seem to be able to root. Any help would be appreciated. To root the ANS UL40 and also how to flash over Note 3. I have done flashing before on a note 2. So i basically know what to do. When I did try to flash over the note 3 I just get your account cannot be verified when calling 611 (without the sim) but when I insert sim its says no sim or sim locked reboot phone. Thanks
Guess nobody knows
kingroot rooted the ans, but I rebooted and it earesed it, and it didn't seem to give out permission s, not in a joking manner

Hi,
My friend just got the same phone and while setting it up for her I noticed that the default file manager is called CyanogenMod File Manager. It's probably meaningless but thought I'd share it just in case there's some sort of CyanogenMod back door. Good luck and if you do get it rooted please let me know.
I found a paid root that will root UL 40 Assurance choose the 6 mo lan.. https://www.oneclickroot.com/support-packages/
I wouldn't have asked on here if I wanted to pay for it, and they are not a guarantee they can do it. have read somewhere that someone ask them to do the same phone and they could not............ And no still no root. Probably does not matter. Talked to Assurance wireless rep today and they said lots of people are complaining about this phone. I have had in less than 2 weeks of getting it, had to have them warranty it and they sent me the same one. It would reboot on it's own and yes did factory reset. Now have the replacement, haven't done any kind of rooting or anything and on day 2 it starting to not be able to make phone calls. Says phone is not responding. Did a factory reset on this one and still doing same thing. Sometimes it does make a call and sometimes not. Pissed I am....
I stumbled across a site. Idk but it looks like it could contain some valuable info you may need or may be looking for. Send me a message or email me for the link. Since I've not posted before, it won't allow me to post the link.
I have decided to go to another provider for my cell phone and the UL40 phone will be no more. After talking to them so many times and finding they are complete idiots. Because they keep sending me a phone that stops working correctly after 1-3 days. Even before I started trying to root. I even talk to a real English speaking (LOL) person and they told me what I already knew, the ANS UL40 phone is a complete piece of ****. So many people have complained to them about that phone they decided not to ship out anymore. Now what kind of phone i will get from other carrier, I'll have to wait and see. Thanks all.............

I have the same phone and I still don't know how to get the MLS code, try enableling the diag ports with ##3424# and hopefully that way you'll get the spc I would let you know if I figure it out
I am looking for a custom ROM for my ANS UL40
Hello.
I was wondering if there would be anyone nice enough to make a custom ROM for the ANS UL40. I would do i tbut I don't have the coding skills or patience to do so.
ANS UL40 "Cast" compatibility w/Actiontec ScreenBeam Mini2
Asking if ANS UL40 "Cast" will run Actiontec ScreenBeam Mini2.
UL40 is "CAST" standard compatible with Mini2 (WiFi Mirocast and INTEL WiDi certified) ?
UL40 able to PARE WiFi and update Mini2 firmware. UL40 says CONNECTED, but click "CAST" and phone goes back to WiFi. Mini2 screen says Connection Failed.
If able to preform firmware update, then UL40 is communicating w/Mini2 so, UL40 should be compatible, but "CAST" fails.
Please advise.
Many kind thanks.
Any luck unlocking this phone so far?
Have not tackled that yet. LEMNO if you succeed.
Best.

Hope someone can figure out how to gain root access on this phone I have it and It would be a blessing
you can unlock the bootloader in android dev settings "OEM unlocking", once in bootloader cmds like "fastboot oem unlock" or "fastboot flashing unlock" do nothing when connected with usb, what a shame. In recovery (vol up + power) there's an option to mount system, it does but I doubt that can lead to anything root access wise, btw, root noob.

Could you elaborate!?
In which market are you in?
It seems to me that they are still shipping it in many markets Assurance Wireless is in, like Oregon for example... so how did you come by that information?
I got this phone a couple days ago and got my msl code by running adb logcat while dialing ##data# and entering the wrong code, it was 536978 and used this on DFS to change it to 000000 then I was able to access everything once I entered ##diag# and then 000000, and enabled diagnostics. If I can get a working stock firmware or boot IMG I could root through magisk and then do separate fastboot boot (magisk patched)boot.img. I am unable to find a stock firmware for this device if anyone can let me know and I'll have root for us.

Did you ever create a working root? I have this phone as well.
micro sd card
Does anyone know what is the maximum micro sd card supported by this phone?
Hi I'd like to thank you at a time for any help I may receive here. Basically I've done some research and under the impression my phone can be rooted . I want to root an essentially network unlock my phone normally I go to somebody from this forms and he doesn't remotely for me. This time he told me that this phone isnt possible. Normally that would be good enough for me but I've seen a lot of evidence of other people being able to root this phone I'm having an issue cuz I don't have windows-based PC with me all I have is a Mac so I cannot run lgup. Is it possible to root this phone with a Mac if I can't is it possible to network unlock my phone with a code. Thank you
