A friend of mine has tasked me to help him as I have some experience with rooting, unlocking etc from other Android phones. Someone sold him a Metro PCS version of the LG Optimus L9 and he has a family plan on T-Mobile. He wants to give this phone to his daughter. Anyways, Since the phone runs on the T-Mobile network, is it possible to flash the phone so that he can put it on his T-Mobile plan? I have looked through the forums and have not found anything of this nature but I do apologize if I have missed it. It is not necessary to go into great detail for this, I jsut want to know if it is possible and a good place to start if it is possible. Thanks for your time!

The only thing I can assume would work is tp buy an unlock code on ebay or amazon and unlock it. t-mobile blows where I am so I unlocked my phone and am now on att

im sure it would work. i have a rooted tmobile branded L9 using a slightly modified metro rom with a tmo sim. it actually shows metro under about phone/network. it is rooted. so if u havent already tried a puting a tmo sim in it and seeing if it worked then rooting might be your answer.
Hi,
I have an history of verizon cellphones in my hands (atrix hd, lg g2, lg g3, droid turbo) and every one of them had tethering locked to verizon plans.
The curious thing is that I never tried tethering with XT1528 (since there's no root), but today I was wondering through the config menu and went to the tethering menu, activated and worked! Is this one unlocked or Im the lucky one?
Im willing to have my device for testing if somehow I was lucky, but if tethering is just unlocked, well forget about this jejejeje.
Bye!
It's not locked. I've been using it on T-Mobile since I bought it. ATT phones usually have tether locked.
Hello everyone. I just recently aquired a LG K7 MS330 but I live abroad, Angola to be more expecific, and I can't use my angolan simcard in it because its locked by Metro PCS. Is there anyway to Bypass or remove the Lock? It was a gift so I don't wanna have to put it away.
Thanks in advance!

That would indicate the device is most likely imei blacklisted from the carrier network or you can't do unlocking without actually reaching a tower that contains a signal for the carrier network.
Most likely it's a stolen phone, or they never paid their bill in a timely manner.
Is it possible to unlock the bootloader of att lg g5 ? If yes then why there is no root even after 1.5 year ? If there is anyone who can unlock this phone if yes then plzzz.... Do something plzz....., Im very annoyed from my g5 first problem no root second problem im facing camera autofocus issue third im using att g5 in india and the signal is a bit weak i cant use the internet (4g) which i dont mind because j use wifi most of the time. So im hoping that maybe after root these problems will be solved, so please do something developers for the faith of the lg g5
I don't think root is coming to the G5. It's a damn shame.
Everything is possible in this world if not now then someday, i know its hard to unlock but im still hoping att g5 will get root if someone try (developers).
I am currently in sprint, and had a V30 plus phone.
I lost it and cannot find it, so I had to switch to my backup which is a moto g5s plus (bleh)
So I am looking at getting a LG g8x, and had a couple of questions.
1: does the under screen fingerprint reader work with the screen off?
All I could find is even you turn the phone on to the unlock screen. The v30 you can go from screen off to unlock without having to do an extra step.
2: does it do volte? Specifically on sprint.
Volte support from sprint says: G Series (G7 and newer models)
My guess is yes but with these carriers these days you never know.
Anyone in sprint with a g8x that can confirm this??
Yes the fingerprint reader works with the display off
