Hey guys,
I've been trying to install a custom rom with qdroid patched.
I was previously on .290, flashed a non lte firmware to downgrade by accident, and lost sim access. After which, i reverted to .290 and all works well.
However, when i tried to root .290 directly and flash another qdroid patched rom (cm10.2), the phone cant detect sim card again.
Any suggestions as of how i can avoid this?
Any advice is most welcome. =)
cm 10.2 needs a 4.2 base to work (IMEI issue) so have a read of my downgrade guide in the general section and flash [NUT]'s ftf from there this will keep the IMEI no. intact and so when you install cm10.2 it will still be there.
Every time you downgrade from 4.3 to 4.2 you will have to use that ftf or wou will lose your IMEI again
Hi,
I have a non-rooted S4 running the latest NC5 firmware.
My plan has Hotspot provisioned and works fine with my Verizon SIM.
Every time I try and use Mobile Hotspot with a foreign SIM (after verifying data (H+ and LTE) is working with new SIM) it attempts to do a Subscription check and comes back with an error.
Is there anything that can be done to have this subscription check bypassed? the foreign SIM I'm using permits tethering!
I'm running 4.4 KitKat NC5 so all the options I have seen before seem to be for earlier versions.
Thanks in advance
If I was rooted (I'm looking into rooting using TowelRoot) does that help? what can I do once I root?
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.

Help me unlock LTE band 40. Please
Hi, i am rooted VS985 with king root, installed TWRP and on Stock 4.4.2 and rooted for deleting all pre loaded verizon and amazon apps and did some changes in system folders like hidden menu etc .. all deleted not today when i connected my PC software assistance tool , it says update is available.. see thumbnails
Now, i am confused if i update my rooted device , can i brick my phone?
please someone guide me, should i go for this update or NOT??
If you ran the update through the tool it would fail since you are rooted and don't have stock recovery installed anymore. It's good practice to never update the phone via OTA or tool if you are rooted and/or have a custom recovery installed.
To update to the latest firmware, use twrp to flash the 35B (5.1.1) version of Skydragon, jasminerom, or xdabbeb's in the Verizon G3 android development section. All are stock based ROM's and run great. 5.1.1 has been a godsend for this phone. Much smoother and better battery life.
Hello,
I currently have a AT&T factory unlocked G965U build R16NW.G965USQU3ARG7 on T-Mobile and I want to update to Pie. Yesterday I popped an activated AT&T SIM card to update the device to Pie and had no OTA luck. Can I download the latest version PPR1.180610.011.G965USQU3CSAB and install it via ODIN or do I need to do an incremental upgrade. I also tried updated to R16NW.G965USQS3ARG8 via SD card sideload and got an “error 7”, I do not care about the data on the phone. Should I only use ODIN or ADB? Also I can't seem to locate AT&T's version of Pie. If someone can guide me in the right path it would be great-full.

What I did for my ATT device, is changed the date to 22 Feb 2019 or a few weeks out, and then ran the OTA checker on the device and then it started downloading to update to pie. Either way, good luck and thread moved here...
