Hey guys after a long time of working and testing im am able to unlock our LS990 unlocked on GSM
This guide is not my work, its some other devs work that i m sharing for you all as most people are confused what to do to unlock GSM on ZV8.
Here is how:
(i) Rename the two files to the extension .bak, in case u want to revert to previous files.
(ii) Copy the files to career/apps/ folder.
(iii) Using Shortcut master lite click and hold the recent apps button and click "Search"
(iv) Select "System apps" and enter in the search bar "hidden", a list will appear , scroll to the activity with name of "modemsettings" at the end or similar
(v) Select RAT selection and select AUTOMATIC.
(vi) Reboot your phone and enjoy GSM Internationally
Hit Thanx If this helps you .
Special thanx to @1619415 for his time
Thanks ..successfully unlocked.
Just wanted to check too even though this wont be the exact thread but seems the same unlock method for LG FLEX 2 (LS996) sprint lollipop ..would it work on flex 2. The risk part is that custom recovery and stock rom has not yet been released so if this method fails ..the phone would be in a really bad shape.
Please check if you have or can help me to support the same.
Thanks in advance
Do I need to be running stock zv8 rom, or can I run barepop v2 & still work?

Yes it will work on any stock based rom
Anyone figure out how to prevent a dialer crash after a call when using Sprint?
Does this work on US GSM carriers (T-Mobile)? I belive I have tried a similar method when ZV8 first came out and it wouldn't work.
Need Help Unlocking!!!
Ok I am at my wits end trying to get my MetroPCS sim to register. I have replaced the /carrier/apps folder. I have installed shortcut master and found my way to the roaming menu and search for GSM networks and seen T-Mobile and ATT pop up but when I try to register with T-Mobile it gives me an error. I tried to change the build.prop file from SPR to spr and when I do that com.android.phone constantly FC's until I change it back and anytime I add a APN and save it disappears. Please could someone help me!!! Thank you

Do not modify build.prop it will always end up in a crash.
Just go to settings,networks and choose network m0de to global.
Also ,prefer barepop with a different kernel .
I belive it will solve ur problem

Have u copied the unlocking files again?
actually your phone is not recognizing the sim card.
When u copy the unlocking files properly,it will detect the sim card and the m0bile network option will be applicable.

Yes, I downloaded the files from the first post and copied them to the \carrier\apps\ folder and still my sim card is not detected and the network options is grayed out. Is this only for international gsm? Because I'm in america on MetroPCS
Just a question, you fixed permissions on the files after you moved them right?

Hi,
I just got my first Android phone. I am running shipped 2.2 ROM from Vodafone Australia. I have connected it to wifi and it shows up as ANDROID_XXXXXXXXXXXX in the connected device list. How do I change that name?
I have changed the bluetooth device name already. Can I not change the wifi name?
TA.
You can't if you're not rooted. BTW B has a feature for this.
Sent from my HTC Legend
Thanks. I am not planinng to root it now as I am still getting used to it. For
me 99% of the stuff I need is already there and I am happy with it.
Now all I need is a decent file manager and a ZIP or RAR application which works on Android. I need to password protect some files so I figure I can use ZIP or RAR file and be done with it but I also want to manage files using file manager.

Well I actually guess now that we have unlocked bootloader, you could keep your stock rom, and unlock the boot loader and then change what you need to...
Previously you needed to root to change stuff. If you go to dev section you can find out how to unlock by reading the unlock thread
sent from my legend using zeubeas cm9 beta2
I have asked this question myself. and found the name CAN be changed settings>wireless& networks>portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings> and select Router Name(SSID)
I was not able to do this while hotspot was active. but i disabled the hotspot and then was able to rename the router (SSID) from the default Wildfire S that it was
I hope this helped.
This guide is to fix a problem that affect all Xperia 2011 phones, you can find a description here also with the link to official Sony support discussion: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23119111#post23119111
What we need:
1) Rooted phone. The more simple way to do it’s flash the stock firmware 4.0.A.2.0.42 with flashtool or wotan server, then run the easy ZurgRush-DoomLoRD script available here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582.
Finally update the phone to 0.62 only via OTA or keep the 0.42 build.
2) Root explorer app for Android.
3) SQLite browser download for windows available here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlitebrowser/
Instructions:
First of all make sure you have a full backup of your system or know how recover it if something goes wrong.
I’m not responsible of any damage you can do to your phone. This procedure can brick your phone or cause a boot loop ! ! ! Do it at your own risk !
Ok, let’s start.
Open the app Root explorer and browse the folders to find the file “settings.db” located here:
data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
Long click, then Copy the file and paste it in your Sd Card, make sure to select the appropriate option in the app. To do it press the “Mount” button until you can see Mount R/W like in the picture below.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now, get the file from your Sd card and move it in your windows Pc.
Make a copy or a backup of the file and save it in your secure Hard disc.
Install the software SQLite database browser for windows and open it, then go to “File” – “Open database”, select so “settings.db” file saved in your PC, but not the backup one .
Go to “Browse Data” and under “Table” select “secure”.
Now find the line “assisted_gps_enabled” and after a double click change the value from “1” to “0”.
Here a picture of the line you should see with the old “1” value, remember to change it like described up .
Apply the change, then “File” – “Save database”.
To be sure the file is correctly edited, open again it with the software and go in the “secure” tab, if you see “0” in the assisted_gps line is ok, Exit.
Copy the edited file into your SD card and keep it there, Open root explorer and go into the folder:
data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
long click on the file settings.db, then click “permissions”.
Note these settings in the paper or somewhere, it is very important do it carefully, is enough remember the flags position !!! However the correct permissions are:
User: Read Write
Group: Read Write
Others: no flags
Now, you are ready for the most important step.
Go again with Root explorer in your SD card, where is located the pc edited “settings.db” file, long click and “Copy”; now place it in the folder “\system”, long click and “Permissions”.
Make sure to select the correct flags as you noted them for the original file !!!! So:
User: Read Write
Group: Read Write
Others: no flags
If the flags of the edited file are the same of the original one or, I explane better, if the edited file don’t need permissions change because they are already the same of the original one noted before,stop you, it is very probably a boot loop.
Now long click on the edited file with the new permissions and select “Move”; paste it into the folders: data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
replace it. DONE !!!
Reboot your phone .
Do it at your own risk !!!
This procedure works, is tested by me but I’m not responsible of any damages.
Now the Gps works like a charm and no more disconnections every 5 minutes with data disabled, finally we have a full offline Gps !!!
NOTE: This fix exclude totally the "Assisted mode", the gps will work only in "standalone mode" without data required. This doesn't mean you will have low performances, absolutely not , the gps chip works like a charm with the best precision, only the First fix will be a little slower, because not data assisted, basically you have to wait 20 seconds intead of 10 seconds. That's all.
This is not an official Sony fix, you can void your warranty doing so.
Tested on Xperia Neo, should work with Arc, Arc S, Ray, Neo V, Pro but it is not tested at the moment.
This is only for Gingerbread !!!
Remember to do a backup until use this guide, you have to be sure to recover your system without lose nothing, in most of Xda threads you can see how do it.
UPDATE 1: A user have reported a minor issue when replacing the settings.db file on .58 firmware. Basically when you confirm to replace the file with original, the same file disappear from the folder !!! This didn't never happen in my tests, however cause a boot loop, so to prevent it after the procedure is done exit from root explorer and open it again (don't reboot of course), go to the folder of settings.db file and make sure it is still here with the correct permissions.
If the file there isn't, copy again the edited one from your sd directly into the folder data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db (not in the root "\system") and change there the permissions.
Now the file should remain and you can enjoy the fix.
Good Luck

Is it for Gingerbread or also for ICS?

No, unless you wipe user data.

Should be so !
But you can check your settings.db file with internal root explorer view, is enough click shortly on the file, and under the table secure, you could see the assisted_gps line with the value "0".
If it is again "1", please repeat the procedure.

Thanks man,
for several months I've suffered from GPS drops when tracking my sport activities by Endomondo - partly I've blamed the tracker app itself, or the phone's GPS hardware - but a so blatant fault...
My luck is that I got fed up today, so I found a solution immediately, as I can see you've tried to solve this problem for months, now (like we had done here with a different problem: http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/162629#162629)
Interesting info (so the GPS should performe better compared to other mobiles - till now they felt inferior): http://developer.sonymobile.com/wp/2012/01/19/glonass-support-in-our-latest-xperia-phones/#more-5134
I've tried GPS Test and it works!
I've downloaded this one also, if I've further problems, I install it:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5Eb3VibGUuRmFzdGVyRml4Il0.
Yes, we have this problem since 6 months !!
Happy to hear you solve immediatly , did you encounter some troubles following the guide ? I hope all is clear for everyone
Please, don't install FasterFix or any apps that could speed up the first fix, is absolutely useless.
we could simply use "Sqlite Editor" in Android OS, and we dont need PC at all
Hey mate.
Im going to try this fix and then leave a reply.
Cheers for finding the solution

Nice guide!
Please add to the OP that using this method, the user disables A-GPS functionality, which means GPS lock will be slower.
What is A-GPS?
GPS operation uses radio signals from satellites alone.
A-GPS additionally uses network resources to locate and use the satellites in poor signal conditions.
In very poor signal conditions, for example in a city, these signals may suffer multipath propagation where signals bounce off buildings, or be weakened by passing through atmospheric conditions, walls or tree cover. When first turned on in these conditions, some standalone GPS navigation devices may not be able to work out a position due to the fragmentary signal, rendering them unable to function until a clear signal can be received continuously for up to 12.5 minutes (the time needed to download the GPS almanac and ephemeris).
An Assisted GPS system can address these problems by using data available from a network.
Assistance falls into two categories:
1. Information used to more quickly acquire satellites
2. Calculation of position by the server using information from the GPS receiver
As an additional benefit, in some A-GPS device implementations, the amount of CPU and programming required for a GPS receiver is reduced by offloading most of the work onto the assistance server.
GPS, is slower on time to first fix. That is why many mobile phones combine A-GPS and other location services including Wi-Fi Positioning System and cell-site triangulation and sometimes a hybrid positioning system.

The first fix is a little slower, about 10-15 seconds more, and Agps is totally disabled, but is not a problem, the gps chip work so well, it doesn't need data like other normal car gps

0.58 is not available on my country, but i don't see any reason why it shouldn't work . You have to modify a system file of android, not a Sony one, so should be the same.
Of course if you didn't experience the bug, don't try this guide
but i think 0.58 hasn't a bug fix, like all 4.xxxx builds

I have this bug. I believe all Xperias have this problem. I have been reading the thread on the SE talk forum, about the GPS bug. It was there I read about this fix
I will try it and then report whether it worked or not. It can take a few days, I'm sick atm.
I have tried with the method on 1st post and got a boot loop
---------- Post added at 05:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 PM ----------
Ok so there's something wrong with your tuturial.
I have redone the process and when you paste the setting.db and it asks you to replace it, and you say yes, then the file disappears! But no fear, go back to your SD card, copy the file again and paste it again (this time it won't ask you to replace because no file is there!). Then go the permissions and change them accordingly.
Close program, reboot and it's done!
Worked first time for me!
Hi
In many forums I saw people complaining on their LTE connections or even lost the option to set LTE.
I tried this and works fine on many custom ROMs
Type one of this codes in the phone dialer
D800: 3845#*800#
D801: 3845#*801#
VS980: 3845#*980#
LS980: 3845#*980#
D802: 3845#*802#
D805: 3845#*805#
(Other models just type model number between * and #)
Now you will see a hidden menu, follow the route: LTE-Only , Modem Settings , RAT Selection
Press LTE only, and restart your phone.
Then enter the hidden menu again, go to the same route, press: GSM / WCDMA / LTE auto.
Thats all, you are done!
Don't forget to hit the thanks button on the left if this works for you.
This didn't work for me on my TMobile G2 running CM 11 nightly 6/22. It says "USSD code running" and then "Connection problem or invalid MMI code".

Then tap in "Phone Information" (first option)
Scroll down to: Set preferred network type

That's it man!
By the way, some carriers around the world use a SIM Card, for using LTE you have to update to a LTE SIM card, if you haven't done this contact your carrier and change your SIM card, it should be free.
Other carriers need to have your phone's IMEI and authorize it to give you access to a LTE network, contact your carrier if this is your case.
I hope I'm helping you my friend!
Not of that worked on d803.... had to delete lteconf or apnsconf depending on rom then reset my apn to lte settings

Deleting the file LTEconfig.apk works too on Optimus G3 ROM. I'm not sure of this in another ROM but anyone can copy the file in another location and back it up later.
The file is located in the folder: / System /app
Just delete the file and restart your phone. This should work too.

Try deleting the file LTEconfig as previously mentioned. This also works in Cloudyfa's customs roms.
To delete the file you need root permission so use a more advanced file explorer than the included, ES File explorer is good enough.

That rom is updated to version 2.7 why don't you update it?
Remember to flash your Baseband again. Then try deleting the file, that should work!

thats what im doing right now, updating to 2.7
I got a Sprint LS990 ZV6 phone from ebay. I decided to use it in T-Mobile, so rooted it. After following so many steps, the phone is not accepting any SIM card when I switch to GSM.
I followed below steps.
- Downgraded phone to ZV4 from ZV6
- Rooted the phone using Stump root
- Changed the carrier options as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/unlock-sim-gsm-how-to-t2853594
- Added APN settings for T-mobile changed network pref
- Inserted my SIM and rebooted the phone.... I shows No SIM card (the SIM is working properly in other phones & I tried couple of SIMs nothing works)
Can anyone please tell me after downgrading & rooting the phone, will it show Active SIM for GSM (i.e. signal bar not with red cross and No SIM icon).
If anyone faced this issue and resolved it, please help me also on this. I have been struggling from more than 2 months to fix it.
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/how-to-gsm-unlock-t2961099 I made it and listed people that confirmed it working if you need help pm me or them.
Finally after following below steps it worked
GSM Unlock for Sprint LG G3 (Works for US GSM Carriers & International Carriers)
1. Root the device using StumpRoot - Download here http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g...rizon-t2850906
2. Install SuperSU & Root Explorer & 920 Text Editor (or you can use Rom Tool Box for build.prop editing)
3. Copy build.prop from /system/build.prop to /sdcard
4. Open /sdcard/build.prop in 920 Text Editor
5. Edit line 268 and change ro.build.target_operator=SPR to ro.build.target_operator=spr
6. Save the file
7. Go to root explorer and copy build.prop from /sdcard to /system/ - try and delete existing build.prop and then copying the one from /sdcard instead of overwriting the existing file. I've encountered bootloops when overwriting build.prop
8. change permissions on /system/build.prop file you just copied to "rw - r - r". This is very important - when you copy and paste build.prop it loses the correct permissions and incorrect permissions will result in bootloop
9. reboot the device
10. It should now be unlocked. You will be unable to change the Network mode under "Mobile Networks" which will be grayed out so use the app "Network" from the play store to change the modem to "GSM (auto PRL)
11. In a few seconds you should see a signal. If not reboot the device once again and it should work.
12. Download "Tweakker" from the play store to get to APN settings and configure required APN settings for your carrier. After you are done with this step, you should have 3G/HSPA+ or Edge connectivity

Thank you. I was using these steps as well.
Now the next search is using this phone in T-Mobile or at&t for LTE.
Does any one got any spell for this
As far as I know you cannot use LTE due to the face our device does not support it.
I see lots of discussion on rooting, unlocking bootloader, etc. But I am wondering if there is guide describing how to enable volte for tmobile? That is all I am looking for and I am really not savy/technical when it comes to phones. I have the dual SIM 850 emw and I really dont want to lose use of the phone when tmobile dumps 3g next month. Thank you
Found this. Sort of cryptic.
I used the dailer code on my Samsung to verify VoLTE was enabled, otherwise it doesn't show the setting or that it's even HD.
Apparently AT&T supports this device if your carrier drops the ball. Verify this though...

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! I now have VoLTE and Wifi Calling working on my LMG820QM (on T-mobile).
I have the BPT variant of the LMG820QM, for which VoLTE and Wifi Calling does not work. After bootloader unlocking and rooting, I tried the above VolteFix-v1 but wanted Wifi Calling. Forcing the option to appear via a profile in Universal Enabler in the hidden menu* did not work and instead caused LG IMS to continuously crash.
*For those interested in the hidden menu, first create an empty folder named "enable_ue" in internal storage. Then go to the dialer and type *#546368#*820#. In Field Test > Universal Enabler you can "Create New Config" and manually enable VoLTE, ViLTE, VoWIFI, and ViWIFI. However, even though these options became enabled in *#*#4636#*#* they didn't seem to actually work.
Next, I tried to crossflash partitions from the US Open kdz but was unable to due to a size mismatch of the OP partition (among other problems).
Finally, since I had already extracted the OP partition from the US Open kdz (G820QM20f_00_NAO_US_OP_0402.kdz), I extracted files that looked relevant and copied them over using a root browser into /product/OP. After setting permissions and restarting, I now have working VoLTE and Wifi Calling!
The files are cust.prop [update: apparently not needed; my existing one worked just fine], all the files in config, and a few folders in priv-app [update: these are the apps for Wifi Calling!] not present in my phone's kdz (not sure which ones if any of these apks are actually needed but since it works I'm not going to experiment more). See attached for details.
Note: Since these files are from the US Open kdz, it will likely only work for US carriers. But the process can be repeated for other regions with the right kdz.
UPDATE: Replaced the attachment, had the wrong files in Config.
** Noticed that upon factory resetting the wrong default APNs are inserted. Had to factory reset on original files, have APNs setup correctly, then copy the attached files (did not copy over cust.prop this time and still worked).

Hello jdapp,
I was able to get VoLTE AND VoWIFI on Mint (T-mobile) with these instructions. I also posted what I did on Post 50. The files work for firmware 20 but if you need the ones for firmware 30 let me know.
Awesome thanks. Yes if I could get the firmware 30 files that would be great.

No problem, let me know how it goes.
