Hi everyone, I've read quite a few discussions on here but this is my first post.
I've recently moved to Sweden from the US with my sprint lg g3. Before I moved, sprint told me that my plan covers me to use voice and data for free, but only with a specific carrier. They said that it's already taken care of and I shouldn't need to do anything when I get there.
That was one week ago. I've been in Sweden for a week and every day of that week I've spent around an hour on the phone with sprint trying to get my phone to connect to the data network. I get voice just fine, but, from what I understand, the phone is wanting to connect to a different carrier for data and he doesn't know how to force it to connect to the right one.
So, after some digging, it looks like I might be able to create a new apn and maybe connect to the right data network that way? Going down this path, I can't by default add any apns, so I followed another discussion and installed root tweaker to be able to fix that. My phone is indeed rooted on lollipop, but the tweaker doesn't seem to change anything for the apn screen, I still can't add nor edit them.
So, my two questions are, should I even be messing with apns (and if not, what should I be doing), and if I should mess with apns, how can I edit it/make a new one?
Thanks so much in advance, I'm getting frustrated with the sprint guys so I'm trying to take some initiative myself.

Try flashing (in recovery) my "MegaAPN" file. It should support a HUGE amount of carriers. You may also need to unlock your apn's so you can edit them. You can do that by searching for this: com.lge.hiddenmenu.settings.ApnUnlock in shortcut master (lite or pro) and clicking the name of the shortcut then just press the "Launch" button (looks like a little Space Ship). Then just press the little "Unlock APN" button and Reboot. You should now beable to add/edit and remove APN's.
Hope this helps:good:
Hi!
I've tried the shortcut master to unlock my apn, and a dialogue bowstring my apn is unlocked appeared, but after a reboot I still have no options to add or edit an apn.
Luckily I do know the carrier I need to be on, and I've found the apn information for that carrier, I just need to be able to add it in the phone I guess.
Thanks for your help!

If you PM me with the options.... I can try to add it to my MEGAAPN file
Attempt to find a way to carrier unlock the LG Tribute HD (LG LS676) without having root access.
One consideration, GCPro Key might operate by generating a 'pseudo key' which tricks the phone into believing the system has been unlocked by the carrier. This is deployed to the phone via adb. If this is the case, it would not require root.
Second consideration, begging and pleading with Sprint to perform OTA unlocks. This doesn't seem likely.
So, just as an update, I was able to get the phone to recognize a FreedomPop global sim, but without being able to edit the APN settings, it is unusable.
Have you tried to change the APN by dialing ##3282# to get the Data settings menu? It requires entering the MSL to edit.
I looked at the APN settings, but even with the MSL given to me by Ting it didn't seem to want to let me edit any.
I just unlocked my friend's with gsmzambia. Everything working perfectly.
this gsmzambia is bot

It was activated on Ting, and they were able to perform an International SIM unlock.
Since APN's cannot be edited, it isn't worth very much, though
Ok

Your feedback is valuable to us, thanks
Why can't anyone edit apn settings? I have a **** boost mobile LG tribute had (LS 676), and boost provided me my msl code, so I CAN edit apn settings. What kind of screenshots can I post to help? If love to have root on this device.... Not a bad daily driver, but root for make it that much better. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide... And come on, gotta give it up to the devs, who have lost so much sleep...and probably a little hair, working on this!?
Hope this helps in some way?

I did - I can see the menus and settings and set LTE etc - but APNs are read-only. You can open to see but can't create any.

Can you post a screenshot of the APN settings Add/Edit view as a starter? I have MSL code too but unable to add/edit APN.
It took me a bit of time to figure out what is being suggested above related to following the G5 procedure to unlock the Tribute HD, so I am posting here to make it easier for everyone else trying to unlock this device.
For starters, you don't need the Service Programming Code (SPC), you don't need it rooted, nor do you need to have it internationally unlocked by a Sprint MVNO -- I unlocked two, and the second was pretty much straight out of the box (the first was internationally unlocked first).
Follow the instructions here for the G5 -- Same Hidden Menu app APK and same first 8 steps up to the point where you reboot and are about to add the new APN:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g5/how-to/guide-gsm-unlock-sprint-lg-g5-t3574819
Then, to add the new APN, which is where I struggled to find the solution and the "trick" to creating the new APN was recently posted towards the end of the G5 thread. To create the APN, use the Hidden Menu app and do the following:
1) Select IOT (GDG2),
2) Select LTE Setting
3) Select APN Setting
4) Now press and hold the multi-function key (the little square task-switcher on the lower right of the screen) and select NEW APN
5) Fill in at least the following 3 fields:
NAME -- Call it anything you want
APN -- Enter the APN for your carrier
APN Type -- Enter "default,dun" (without the quotes).
Note: If you have other APN entries that you know, please add them too -- the above 3 items will get at least the web working (and perhaps hotspot), but you may need additional carrier-specific settings for SMS/MMS/etc..
When you are finished entering the APN entries, press and hold the multifunction (little square) key again and select SAVE.
Make sure your new APN has the radio button selected on the right side of the screen, and then back your way out to the main menu and close the Hidden Menu app. Close the Hidden Menu app with the task switcher.
Your device should now show either 3G or LTE for your GSM-based carrier. The web should work, as should calling (admittedly I used FreedomPop SIMs for my testing so I was only able to test 3G with the Global SIM and LTE with the AT&T LTE SIM, but I didn't test calling/texting/MMS with a US-based SIM myself). If something isn't working, I'll borrow a T-Mo postpaid SIM from another phone and try to provide further assistance.
Kudos and thanks to all of those who figured out the G5 -- I am merely outlining the steps they developed here for the Tribute HD.
So a little background on why I'm posting this. I have owned a G4 G5 G6 and V20, all on Sprint, and none of these devices can ever access the Phone Info section or "Radio Info" section as it's referred to on the Hidden Settings shortcutter App. I believe Sprint or LG removes access to this area on all LG devices. On all of the ones I've owned I can try and access the section but only catch a brief glimpse of it when I try to access using a shortcut app. It is always immediately covered by the same message every time which is: Note This application does not work on this device.
Now I just activated a V30+ a couple weeks ago which I received through Sprint's normal telesales channel and on this device I can get to and modify most fields in the section. I haven't seen other people posting about this so maybe it's standard for everyone with the LS998 Sprint variant and no one really cares or just doesn't have anything to say about it. If thats the case, my apologies for wasting everyones time with an unnecessary post .
If my access to this area is a one off situation and could help lead any developers or more avid tinkerers to any discoveries I'd be happy to test out some things together with anyone with more experience than myself. I've been holding off on attempting to unlock the bootloader and haven't done any PRL updates or resets just in case this access is worthwhile as I've been worried something is going to update and take away my ability to get into the section.
I've included some screenshots. I've cropped them to try and remove some of the more personal data but I think all the relevant sections are covered.
*** Below are some questions and thoughts I've had. I hiding the section it to keep things less cluttered for those that are just reading up but dont have any experience or opinion on the settings/functionality etc***
If everyone can already get to this section, have you changed your bands or modified any of the settings and what results did you see?? I've been tempted to switch up some settings and run some tests but I'm being kinda chicken about changing anything because I can't find any info on people using this menu to do anything except screw up their coverage. A few example seems to be people on different earlier LG models that select USA but live outside the US and then cant get it back to their countries settings.
Here is a list of things I would like to examine more, or try out in these menus. Maybe some of you have already done such or have the same questions. Any feedback would be cool on any of these things or even warnings or endorsements. I would love to learn a bit more about this area and its possibilities.
Under the "Set Preffered Network Type" option I would like to change the current setting of LTE/CDMA/UMTS auto (PRL) to one of the other options and see what happens. I believe this area is relatively safe and can be switched back to the original setting easily. I'd like to switch to Global Auto Mode, Unknown Mode, GSM Auto mode and LTE Only Mode and run some speed tests and see what towers its connecting to in each.
There are four toggle switches, one of which is grayed out. This is the Video Calling Provisioned Switch. Curious if this would possibly become accessible in another mode, or if there was something i could change in a database editor that would allow me to switch this to "on".
The only setting I did change was the one DNS Check. It was originally set to disallowed and I switched it to allowed. I dont really know what changes or abilities this added or took away and have not seen any difference since doing so.
The SMSC when Refreshed will give me an 11 digit number in "" followed by a 3 digit number. It begins with +1 giving it the appearance of a phone number. I believe this has to do with SMS provisioning but am unsure and have not modified the info here.
One part I am very curious about is a grayed out button labeled OEM-specific info/Settings. I have searched like crazy just to try and find some info on whats behind that button and got nada.
In the additional menu section (the three dots) I have an option to Select Radio Band. When Pressed it takes me to a menu which sats "set GSM/UMTS band". This is the area I have found little about other than what I mentioned earlier about people getting locked out of their country settings. I have not touched this setting.
The IMS service Status of my device seems to not populate correctly as I'm listed as not registered or unavailable for all sections as seen in the picture attached. I could swear that a week ago I was showing "registered" but if so thats no longer the case.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Do you mean the ones within thd expanded part of the phone info section? If so, I've checked those out and they are blank. Screenshots attached.
So enough people have seen this post now that someone with a V30+ should be able to confirm whether or not others can get to these settings.
Anyone?
There is several other threads about this already. I found them while trying to find a way to get more ?? bands working on my India based phone. Nothing new i don't think and none of it actually helped, for me at least. There is a dialer code for it but i can't remember it.

I'd like to hear what you tried out and see what changed and what stuck and what didn't. . Maybe we can get your phone working better here in the states if we team up on the problem... I know my avatar shows I'm a junior member but that's because I don't really post often, but I do plenty of reading and tinkering myself and I have been in the Telecom business for about 15 years. I'm not an expert or making any guarantees but I certainly don't mind helping out a fellow member here if I can.
Do you have your MSL code? I have mine so if you have yours maybe we can take a look at how my phone is provisioned in the ##data# menu and get your bands setup the same way since mine should already be configured to the proper bands for the U.S. Between modifying that area and making some changes in the Radio info section that could do the trick for you. Let me know if you'd like to work on it and we could PM or you could reply with a run down of what you've tried and how you're setup now and we could go from there.
Cheers.
*#546368#*930#
Field test. LTE band selection. Selecting any band from the menu just makes it completely lose cell signal. After selecting a band it just either says success or fail.

Ok so that dialer code doesn't trigger anythibg on my model. I also tried replacing 930 with 998 and tried replacing the *# and #* with just ## and no luck. But no worries.
I'm thinking you may need to change your settings in two menus in order for the new settings to work together. If you go into your Data menu (##data# or maybe *#data#* on your model) and update the information there to match the ones I am attaching in my screenshots and then go into the Radio Info menu and select a similar setup to how my device is provisioned you may see some success.
Thoughts?
You would need your MSL code in order to change the settings in the ##data settings....
Where do i get msl code?
Neither of the data dialer codes are working for me.
Oh those settings are only for cdma phone?

There are a bunch of tips and tricks to find your MSL code posted throughout the boards, but I have only ever got mine from the carrier. If you call customer service you can usually talk them into giving it to you, though their policy on this is to not give it out unless your phone is fully paid for / out of contract. If you tell them you are working with a tech in a store and need it for provisioning they will normally give it to you.

I know this may not be in the right place but does anyone know how to bypass frp lock on this phone
Hello,
I recently got my Palm Phone PVG100 from the US, i'm in the UK (and i absolutely love it!)
I have managed to root it and de-bloat it of Verizon stuff (despite not being overly techie - thanks for the fantastic “how to” guides).
There is 1 problem - i can’t change the APN, which means I can only get 2g / ‘E’ speed with my mobile data, though my SIM can do 3g and 4g. When i go into the APN settings, I can click on the ’+’ to add new APN, but then it’s all greyed out so I can’t actually add anything.
I’m in the UK, on an MNVO of Vodafone in case that makes a difference. Interestingly, when i tried a SIM from a different operator, the phone connected to 3G.
Is there any way to update the APN? Ideally, not too technical...
Thanks
Sam
Bump!
I have the same problem. If you Google "Android 8.1 edit APN" you'll find lots of solutions, but none of them worked for me even with root access.
Did you guys ever figure this out? I have the same problem. I'm trying to get a Tello SIM to work with an unlocked (formerly Verizon) Palm PVG100, but the APN settings are all greyed out. I can call and text, but zero data. If you found a solution to this, please post. Thanks.
EDIT: Forgot to mention. I found the solution. Did the rooting that they explain on this site, and I was then going to pull the APN conf file off the Palm with abd and then edit that, adding Tello, and then put it back, but .... the rooting had already freed up the APN interface (no longer greyed out), so I could just enter my APN info. Thanks much to the developer.

can you describe what you did in a little more detail? i have a pvg100 and mint mobile. its got 2 t-mobile apn with no data, i got it rooted with magisk but im confused what to do now iv tried 3 different ways that require root one changing the apn file with sqlite, hasnt worked for me even though i successfully replaced the file. i put the mint apn in there and took the t mobile out but it just reappears if im on wifi and spazzes if im not. i also downloaded a file this guy on here had thats supposed to fix apn and get rid of verizon logo but when i enter it in the terminal it says its not recognized as an internal external command or operable program or batch file. i havent figured something out about the path for adb or really how to use it yet smdh
Jeez, I did this so long ago, I don't remember any of the details. Not much of a tech guy, so I did a lot of googling. I did eventually get things going though through trial and error, and have been using the Palm for a couple of years on the Tello system (which I like a lot, by the way). Anyway, if you got it rooted with Magisk, then I think that was the major thing I had to do, because, as I wrote above, I didn't have to jump through the hoops I thought I'd have to to get the APN. Before rooting, I couldn't modify the APNs, but after rooting, I just went to Setup-> Network & Internet -> Mobile Network -> Advanced -> Access Point Names -> the "+" sign and I created a new one called "Tello", with values Name:Tello / APN:wholesale / MMSC: http://wholesale.mmsmvno.com/mms/wapenc / MCC:310 / MNC:240 / APN type: default,supl,mms / APN protocol:IPv4 / APN roaming protocol:IPv4 / APN enabled/disable: APN enabled.
I think I got those values through googling. Anyway, that got it up and going for phone, text, and data. Sorry I don't remember much else of what I changed, but I think it was mostly just rooting it and then finding the right values for the APN settings.
Good luck.
