Lg G3 using straight talk SIM. Originally on 35b. Downgraded via tot method, rooted and installed Twrp. No matter which ROM I install I have no mobile data. I have service, but no data. The 4Glte is there but dimmed out. If I android back to 10b, everything works fine. I have tried using different bootstacks but no help. I was thinking an APN problem, but I can't get into the settings. Any help would be appreciated, otherwise I went through this whole process for nothing.

I am having the same problem on Net10 and when i try to restore to Stock LP 5.1.1 with TWRP it says its unsigned firmware and will not boot. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I hope someone chime in soon cause today I was planning on picking up a Straight Talk SIM as well. I'm currently on Jasmine 8.0 with a Smart Mark SIM (dropping the service since I'm only getting Hspa) and also planned on installing the xdeb 46a Rom this weekend.
If either of you figure it out, please post. It would be nice to have a thread follow vs creating a new one.

OK so I've been able to get LTE through the hidden menu code "*#*#4636#*#*" . and changing the network to LTE only mode. Problem is I cannot yet enable VoLTE so when I do I lose GSM connection and can't make calls or send texts but LTE works great. Then if I switch it back I have GSM but no data. There is a thread on here about enabling VoLTE through hidden menus but I haven't been able to pull up that particular menu yet.

I have given up and returned to stock via the KDZ method. Couldn't get any mobile data on any Rom that I flashed.

Is it a possibility for me to revert my phone back to stock with it unrooted, then install the update, then re root my phone with the one click doomlord method? I tried Jerkwad's method of installing the update and my phone didn't take...
Now i've got an error in my status bar saying "Blank Internal Storage, Storage Blank or has unsupported file system"... Which i think is because i tried to restore my phone via a clockworkmod backup i had. It got as far as the "restoring cache" part and failed.
Need help with this before i brick my phone... lol

Flash an official Motorola software with RSD Lite (and MotoHelper drivers).
You can find the softwares in the development sections.
As for other things, search on google.
There is nothing to help you go back to stock for the cdma version everything is GSM
Oh, just noticed you're on CDMA. Yeah, you can't go back to stock.
Will flashing those packages apply to me or just for downgrading?
Current: Arctic ROM 2.3.0 (GSM)
Plan: Stock ROM (651.73.30....3n.eu)
Thanks..
How can I tell if I am CDMA or GSM? I would like to root but not sure if I want to with out being able to go back to stock.

If you have the Droid RAZR from Verizon Wireless in the US of A, you have a CDMA/LTE phone. Else your phone is GSM/UMTS.

well ****.... So no way known yet to go back to stock or am i just not seeing it.
If your device has a sim card slot, it should be GSM otherwise if its locked to a single mobile operater it is cdma. As for being able to reflash and root, check the development section, there is a post on it and it works for me
So I rooted/Bump'd my phone awhile back using StumpRoot and flashed this BARREN Odex & Deodexed and I also put in TeamWin's Recovery Project v2.8.0.0. I disabled OTA updates on my device.
Well, I recently did get an OTA for a newer version of my Android OS which I figured would be okay since I was basically using a flashed but stock ROM that was Android anyways. I let it download the update and after it restarted, it only loads up the TeamWin loader. I can't reboot to recovery or anything.
I used TeamWin to wipe everything except the system partition and my phone still isn't loading up to the ROM. I tried using this tutorial on using the LG FlashTool to get it back up and running and it keeps failing on step #20. I don't know what else I can do.
I am not very experienced with the whole bootloader/ROM/rooting/whatever scene so I am doing everything I can and nothing is still booting the OS. I figured the OTA removed the root on the device and is why the ROM can't load but I'm not sure.
I'd really like some help if anyone can provide it.
EDIT: Fixed it. nevermind. Used this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g3/general/fix-recovery-loop-twrp-computer-t2873386
Lesson learned huh, ota when rooted, especially these tricky devices is not your friend. Someone eventually will make the updated rom rooted

In the phone dial this sequence ##72786#
This should work.

I had the same problem, you have to factory default your phone again and when wifi pops up uncheck it and itll ask to search for service or register device.
insert something witty here...

And it wouldn't hurt to update your profile and PRL, too.
i hope this works for you. i had to send my back because i was told the radio was dead. the sprint tech typed in things on the keypad to try and connect to the network and no luck. mine was stock for the moment, but rooted. it did have an OTA download, no intentions to install it, but my daughter had other plans......thankfully it was replaced. just got it today and it it stump'd, twrp'd and OTA's blocked.
My phone is rooted stock on the very first original ROM (forgot the version). I asked Sprint for GSM unlock, they sent the request, but it didn't go through. The "UICC unlock" option does nothing. Could it be because I'm rooted and/or on an old ROM? I didn't tell Sprint rep about the root.
Idk probably the root it mess with the system try flashtooling back to ZV4 and then try it but dont ota to ZV6 or else you'll lose root. Alsi they code/ method may be bad. What carrier are you trying to go to?

Thanks for the advise. I just figured out the problem- I froze a lot of bloat with TB, and it affected UICC. unlock. I did it a while ago, and it didn't occur to me right away to defrost before attempting to unlock.
I'm thinking about traveling to South America and want to use a local SIM card while over there.
OK well have fun, glad it works
However I'm not sure how to check that the unlock actually worked. When Sprint network is available, the phone will use it regardless of the SIM. I tried to install a T-Mobile SIM from friend's phone, and my phone came up with red X SIM icon in the status bar- the same as with no SIM.
Spring does not support unlocking.
Sprint does not support domestic sim unlocking but will allow international unlocking.
If you want to use another carrier then try out cloudyg3 1.2 rom or cm11 rom. You can use any carrier with them. Or else you have to modify your build.prop file and replace the ro.carrier.target from SPR to spr using the rom toolbox app and then you get a unlocked gsmphone.
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
Since McAfee was forced on an update I have not found it possible to Revert back to stock to update the PRL. Currently on ZVA Stock. In the past, I tried to revert and got stuck in the LG logo
If their is an apk that allows PRL updates via rom let me know otherwise is there va technique to rom, then revert for update then back to rom.
Thx
Based on null replies, it's not possible to update the PRL running on a rom

Your on zva stock or stock rooted? Are you trying to write a prl or just update prl? Are you on Sprint or a different carrier?

I am on sprint, and I would like to update the PRL. It would be great to write a PRL to possibly allow better cell-tower Connection
have you tried ##UPDATE# in dialer? or Reset Cellular Data in "Activate This Device" in settings? those would both attempt to force an update from Sprint. if you want to manually push a PRL, you can use the following link. I just tested it and pushed PRL 56030 to my phone and it worked. I am on ZVB stock rooted.
