Are we to assume an LS990 since you're in the sprint forum? If that's the case, share your successful unlock method.

I believe you cannot since different variants have some differences between them. You would have to flash sprint based rom and then reunlock it.

What are the differences ? Boot img or bootloader

I thought there was a hardware difference to, but I believe it's the location of things on the file system is different too.

Some have successfully used the Cloudy ROM which is based on an international variant, but you need to read up as the LS990 requires some additional detail. Check out the non-carrier specific forums and the Sprint specific Questions and Troubleshooting.

sold my G3 now i've got note 4.
You could try cloudy g3 (on the international thread) but IT ONLY WORKS ON GSM NETWORKS NOT SPRINT. ITS NOT MY FAULT IF YOU BREAK YOUR PHONE(S).

Minor hardware differences exist even between ls990's. But mainly the boot.img, kernels are definitely different between g3 variants. Not by much but enough where they each require a different config file when building. Modems play a role as well but I'm not sure to what degree if yours is unlocked. However I know from trying that if I flash another variant's rom, I get a secure boot error, no matter what I wipe before flashing - which is the kernel. There isn't any harm in just trying as long as you have a nandroid to restore but I was never successful getting international or even verizon roms to boot on the ls990.
Different variants use different Bluetooth chipsets, too, so even if you get an international ROM to work BT might not work.

your device has to have recieved the 1.27.531.8 OTA for it to be able to accept the 11
So is there any way to get this while running CM 10 nightly builds?

Do I need to flash it again?
OP stated that it is radio of 11, it didn't say it's radio of 8 in order to flash to 11. What am I doing wrong?

Anybody having problems with AOSP builds and this radio? I've been having non-stop connectivity issues, I'm hoping it's just an RIL issue. Keep getting no data, then data but no connection, then no signal at all in places where I had H+ without issues in the past.

Flashing via recovery?
Can this one be used with ARHD 12.1? I'm using T-Mobile as carrier!

Trying it now.
edit: Working on T-Mo in Dallas, but I don't have LTE at my house to test. Will need to go out later to test LTE. HSDPA is working as expected.

I can confirm that flashing the radio didn't do much, however, flashing an entire firmware package did make my lte reception stronger. Also, if I flash any other Rom other than .11, lte reverts back to being subpar.

You forgot to tell us what ROMs you are referring to?
Find out if your bootloader is locked. If it isn't, then most custom ROMs should work for you. If you have a locked bootloader, then you can probably emulate some ROMs using the Safestrap program that is popular on Verizon.
.
Any word of a recovery coming out soon??? Or roms being developed?
Sent from my LGLS990 using XDA Free mobile app
Not until the bootloader gets unlocked unfortunately, whether or not that's being worked on is unknown to me. At the moment the only variant that has an unlocked bootloader by default is D851 "T-Mobile"
Sorry but if you wanted a phone you could run custom roms on you unfortunately picked the wrong one. If you want stock with xposed tweaks then you got the right one.

Is it possible to take the ota from lets say Canadian XT1524 and alter it to update the US XT1526? Or the rom and just flash that rom on the us variant?
Yes, you can do that. You could flash Surnia Marshmallow stock roms from other variants as well. Just do not flash the bootloader or modem.

There are Euro or Asian stock roms around, I believe in all 3 flavors (5.0, 5.1, 6.0) that should be GSM.
