Is there a way to re-flash the 717M to be a 717R?
Like can I take a rogers stock rom and load it on and make it a 717R?
I know that wouldn't unlock the carrier. I unlocked the carrier via IMEI number already though. I just want to get rid of the bell bloatware and have rogers bloatware instead. Will the stock rom from a rogers note actually get me to have a boot screen that says 717R?
I couldn't find anything in a search of someone trying to do the same thing?
If flash a stock Rogers software on a bell note, it will boot up with Rogers boot screen and have rogers apps. I have a telus note installed with bell software.

Yes .. true .. i did that mistake with an AT&T stock and my Bell was completely AT&T after ...
Due to there being no root at the moment for the latest update MJ7, is there a way to get the Verizon S4 to work with a T-Mobile simcard. I know it has global mode on the phone, but is there a way to install tmobile rom on it or something in order to get it working like a tmobile S4?

There's lots of threads about this. For example, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46357210&postcount=1
Try searching this forum for "t-mobile".
I actually just popped in my Tmobile sim card and it told me that it is a forign sim for me to turn on Global mode, which I did. I then set up the Tmobile APN settings and got the 4G up and running.
See attached screenshot.
Maybe I am new to this and could not find anything searching online. I have an LS990 on ZV4. I got this from the USA and it was on Lollipop. gave it to a repair guy who downgraded it to ZV4 AND it uses my SIM on GSM with global settings. It also runs the EDGE I have here.
Now, I have a few questions:
1. Due to some tries with my settings, I pressed factory unlock. Before, the phone had SuperSU and StumpRoot. Now it does not. BUT my carrier works fine and I am able to use it perfectly. I currently don't need rooting. Can I upgrade without this and still keep my carrier?
2. I try to access the hidden menu but all it says is "null". I wanted to see if I could access the APN settings. What do I do?
3. I am getting some System Updates of 293.3 MB. I am worried if I install, I will lose my carrier unlock. I have lost the rooting (StumpRoot and SuperSU already). The phone guy says, do not upgrade . Is it true that I would lose my carrier unlock?
I would like to add that my Network settings are on Global. When I insert any SIM in my country, it automatically picks it and works just fine.
I would like to add that when i installed RootChecker and SuperSU, they indicate that I have Root
I have went forward and installed TWRP. Now, I am waiting for how to upgrade to ZV6 such that I do not lose my international unlock which was done via the file change node.db and node.db-journal.
I accessed the hidden menu to see configuration of APN etc using Shortcut Master.

The international unlock solution on ZV8
After a few days of looking through the phone unlocking, rooting, bump'ding and twrping...I have a consolidated report.
My goal:
Sprint LS990 LG G3 with SIM-GSM unlock and data on the latest Android Lollipop (stock if need be).
Steps:
1. I started with ZV4, the original pre-loaded version. Obviously this is SIM blocked by default. I arrived at this state by LGFlash tooling the original stock ZV4 TOT from XDA.
2. I did not root or anything and i created no TWRP backups, hence I did not install TWRP either. This means I was at total Sprint original state.
I got over the accessibility settings and stuck at the configuring your phone page for a while by adding wifi connection. The step failed and I was fully able to use my phone without GSM. So be patient once ZV4 is loaded.
3. I went ahead and directly installed the stock ZV8 TOT, also available in autoprime's technique on XDA. Hence, I could have started from this as well as this was not an upgrade, it was a clean install, using LGFlashTool.
4. I went ahead and used the new rooting method for LG phones (http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772). It worked!
5. Even rooted I had no signals. I used the method http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/unlock-sim-gsm-how-to-t2853594, did a simple restart and viola, my GSM voice and data were working. I had to select Global Network mode in my mobile data settings.
6. I have also Unlocked LTE using shortcut master, BUT I am yet to test it, I dont have an LTE SIM card at the moment.
Thinks to all the wonderful writers.
Can yo help me with data??

Help me unlock LTE band 40. Please
I got an unlock code from cellunlocker.net (a site I've used a few times in the past) for my rooted stock-rom S6 Edge from Bell Canada.
When I try to use the code, the message says Unlock Unsuccessful.
Reading the details of the unlock code email, it says unlocking might not work if the phone has been "rooted and/or custom rom installed".
Surely rooting cannot mean one cannot sim unlock it after.... or does it?!?!?
Sometimes rooted phones actually dont unlock. Ive seen people have this problem before. If you Odin back to stock and try unlock should work no problem. From there you can feel free to root and such again with it unlocked no problem.

Experienced something similar myself with my S5 using Cellunlocker.net on rogers. I changed my runtime to ART and it set my binary status to custom. For some reason, changing the Runtime from dalvik to ART on my S5 set my status to custom and prevented any OTA, so I said what tha heck, i'll just root it and trick my status to get OTA, then I wanted to unlock it but it didnt work. I restored to stock after seeing it suggested on XDA, input code and it worked, was able to re-root after without any other issues. Not sure if it's the actual root or the custom status that blocked the unlock though but I think both set the status to custom.
Hi All,
I have an unlocked LG G5. It was running 10J, and it got softbricked while trying to root it. I managed to flash a stock kdz (H83020a_00_1107) which unbricked it. The problem is that it included all the tmobile bloatware, including the device unlock app, so the phone is now network locked. If T-Mobile doesn't cooperate about unlocking it, is there a rom I can flash which doesn't have that app so the phone would no longer be locked (the device is not rooted, if that makes a difference)? I tried clearing that app data and disabling it, but that didn't help. The IMEI shouldnt be locked to their network, but they didn't seem too cooperative when I called them the first time..
Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks
