Same version as yours because there's no updates yet. If you're in good standing, call thrm and get the phone internationally unlocked. Tell them that you're going on a trip or something to another country and you would like to get the phone internationally unlocked. You must be in good atanding with Sprint to do so. Read the whole post I linked.
I called up one of my buddys that works at sprint got it UICC unlocked within 30 minutes now i have the apn settings that allow me to finally add things awesome!

No way that I know of of getting the MSL without Sprint. I came from the G5 so of course I triend the HiddenMenu app from the G5 but it didn't work on the G6. It's a new hidden menu app..... Hidden Menu 7.0

I took like 5 min worth of logs and got a lot. Advice is be quik once logs enabled. Setup wasnt to bad either. Follow the apps directions on goog play. Lol if i can do it just about anyone should be able to.
How were you able to get the MSL from logcat? I'm on sprint, entering ##DIAG# doesn't prompt me for my MSL or service code.

thanks.... i tried it with ##DATA# but i could not find the MSL code or hex code to extract MSL even searched log for 1 hour with "OEM_HOOK_RAW" text.. anyways I got MSL just now from sprint by activating it temporarily on a sprint account.
Anyways The issue now is I am not able to delete APNs as no option comes to delete in APN settings by ##DATA# for all APNs but ota.. option to delete comes for ota and i enter MSL but nothing happens...
Do I need to put sprint sim and let it register to network and then do PRL update and profile update?
I am afraid to do it as it will install sprint logo and sprint apps if i do it.. i think i can remove some using ##BRAND# but doing that will it effect my unlock?
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance..

I'm following the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1575749 for flashing the evo 3d to page plus from sprint. currently i have the phone rooted with s-off running meanrom. under the instructions it says you need to enter the MSID on the phone and if you don't have it to call your service provider. I called page plus and they say that they can't give me a MSID without the phone being activated on their service. I'm not sure what to do next. Do I give them the new ESN and have the change the service and then will they be able to give me the MSID or is there another method to do this?
Thanks for any help.
Edit: i'm currently on page plus with a old lg 9100 and the phone i'm trying to flash is a sprint phone that has never been activated.
second question: the apn backup and restore app says that APNS cannot be restored or deleted on this device because android 4.0+ does not allow 3rd party apps to write apn settings. what should I do to get this to work. i have the phone rooted with s-off currently running meanrom. should i put a different rom on there?

Have you flashed the page plus prl yet? If so you need to call them and give them your esn number. I believe the msid is for if you want to port your number over first before you call page plus. If you followed the guide to a T up until the apn part. Even though apps won't allow you to write to the apn, its ok because all your gonna do is delete and restore. Put your phone in airplane plane mode. Delete your current apn, click restore apn chose the page plus one. Disable airplane mode and reboot. I hope this helps you.

thanks, for the input. i'm going to try this a little later today.
so just an update for anyone who might stumble onto this thread. I figured out the steps: (Thanks Jsparta26)
After I flashed the prl, I called page plus and they activated the ESN. The MSID was the same as my phone number. Phone still didn't work, so i reflashed the PRL and then the phone was working. I didn't need to delete the APN, it was just working after. Now phone works for calls and 1x data. no MMS yet, got to figure that one out.
thanks for the help.
Your mms is also included in the apn file. Try the delete and restore method to see if works for you

I'm getting the message: Unfortunately APSs cannot be restored or deleted on this device because Android 4.0+ does not allow 3rd party apps to Write APN settings.
The Options in the Program are: Backup APNs, Restore APNs, Delete Backup Files, Delete APNs, and Donate.
Not sure what to do from here.
Ignore the part of backup, delete and restore. I was able to do this with an aosp rom and should work with a sense rom. You just cannot write to the apn file. Make a backup of your original apn, delete the current one, then restore using the page plus apn file and reboot. It should work. If not then manually copy it the apn file with a file explorer into your sdcard and take the page plus file and paste in the original location of the file and reboot. Let me know if that works.COLOR="Silver"]
---------- Post added at 09:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 AM ----------
[/COLOR]Which app are you using? Well if it don't work then I have another solution. Do you happen to know the settings of page plus's apn settings? Also do you know your msl code? If so, then open up your dialer and type ##3282# and punch in your msl code under edit. Once your through click on advanced and scroll down to the bottom of the screen and click on mmsc settings. If you know the settings you can manually input the settings in their correct spots. Once you do that hit commint changes or modifications at the top of the screen and hit reboot

I think I figured it out. In the settings for the program there is an option for "ignore ICS". i selected that and was able to delete and restore. looks like mms is now working, but it still shows 1x data.

Well I am glad that you got mms working. Not sure about the 1x signal, it could be a cell tower issue, not enough cell towers or that page plus's network is low priority. Have you flashed the latest page plus prl?

plenty of cell towers here, so that shouldn't be a problem. i'll try and flash the other prls and see what i get (right now i'm running the one from the main thread included in the rar). in the main thread i think there were problems with people not getting 3g. if i can't solve it with the prls, i'll have to comb through that thread for a solution.
Thanks for your help.

No problem. Just keep this in mind. Check to see if your radios are up to date on page plus's firmware. People used to have that problem when they went flash happy with the vm ruu ics leak back in may and messed up their phones with the dreaded 1x signal. Just something to think about. Good luck.

Initial T-Mobile hotspot auth bypass testing, Update GT.ini dialog prompt added , other things I've forgotten, some code cleanup.
***3/15/15***
Fixed broken "Enable Native Hotspot" seems I had broken it while cleaning and commenting my code. Please don't use 3.1.1, that "should" be the only thing that broke in it though. +10 internets to @eugene159 for noticing I broke it XD
***3/12/15***
So much added. Reversed PhoneUtil and USBSettings from IOTHiddenMenu and implemented it in GT, Added more feature config files to edit in "CSC Feature Settings" CHECK THEM OUT!!! Other changes I've likely forgotten about lol, sorry. Check for yourself.
***2/22/15***
Hotspot compatibility with boost added. GT.ini changed now button and command need to be seperated by ,gtbutton, "click *EDIT GT.ini* press restore golden backup and restart GalaxyTools" or manually fix your custom ini.
Some other small changes.
***2/11/15***
Fixed hotspot enable on android L, other changes.... **[NOTE]: changing build type on my phone enables more verbose output, that said I'm using the NAB engineering bootloader and haven't tested it on a stock bootloader, I'll remove this note once I've tested it out on more devics[/NOTE]
***1/17/15***
Missed a check to see if /GalaxyTools folder on internal storage was created, thanks @bgmg
***1/16/15***
GTini added, now you may customize many of the shortcuts in GT, ini file is UTF-8 format, use the built in editor or if editing on PC I recommend Notepad++ I'll get more info on my website tonight most likely with some examples etc.
Each line will be a button(list item actually) and is formatted as such
Code:
button name,process or activity or shell code
then add another line for the next one.

populate "Force wifi_ap max users: with current max
Add option to "Clear Prefered APN" (Check this when you use "Enable Native Hotspot" if you want to clear the prefered apn setting.) NOTE: On s3 It is fine to just reboot. For note 3 It is required to use "Enable Native Hotspot" one more time after reboot WITHOUT Clear Prefered APN checked and reboot again for the prefered apn to reset itself. (Untested on models other than these as we don't have them on hand to test) Only use this if you seem to not be able to get hotspot working after one or two tries/reboots
Add icons(prep for play store)
***9/32/14***
Enable user to increase wifi_ap users beyond 8
***9/22/14***

Great work !!! This gets you into all the hidden menus, logcats, and test Features !!! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

csc verify will tell you why it fails. Likely browser bookmarks changed, contacts in phone book, calander etc... To pass you almost need to have just done factory reset, or ran Preconfig. Also quick update to protect users till I have files from more models.
Till then only s3 and note 3 can use the hotspot enable.
idone said:
Made an apk for people with root but no msl/spc to enable hotspot.
Works on sprint note 3 stock firmwares and tested on s3 as well. (Likely good for any sprint stock touchwiz) If you have a samsung device with "SPRINT SPARK" Let me know and I can likely add compatibility just need a file or 2 from you. Also need files from s4 and s5.

It will backup your original telephony.db to root of sdcard, (option to restore backup or hfa restore option too)
Other menus added cause why not.
After clicking the button for hotspot apns will open. recheck one to get data going or just reboot phone.

Thanks in advance!
Please note that I would like it from a real s5. s4, note 2, galaxy mega, any sprint touchwiz really(note3 and s3 I have already as previously stated) If you have some other type sprint phone and want native hotspot enabled please pm me, that is if you don't mind testing something +have root.
Very useful tool, thanks a lot @idone.
for some reason, using this tool does not let me edit APNs. I can see what APN I am currently using, but it doesn't let me edit. If I use the dialer to ##data#, I can edit the APN in there. Just thought I would let you know. Great tool. Obviously, you can goto the HiddenMenu and use it to ##data# for you and go from there, but you need MSL.

I have just noticed the same problem after I flashed a stock tar and did ##rtn# to fix some weird usb tethering problem that seems to happen after forcing lte. I had the usb tethering problem before and never solved what fixed it for me. Flashing with odin didnt fix, so some bit in nv or something gets flipped with the force lte that messes up usb tethering. ##rtn# did fix it... but without taking the time to compare before and after to locate the problem it is not an optimum fix. (I dont know anykne else who has had this issue though)
But on to what I was saying, I didnt have this problem with apn wanting msl before and can't remember what I did to fix it. If you go into DM Manager and click apn there (without having gone in to DATA>Edit>enter msl>apns since reboot) It will give same view of selected apn but not editable.
Either way I will find the fix(before it was always editable for me without having to go ingo data and enter msl) or add my own apn editor(or possibly figure arguments apn edit takes...less likely but I might take a look)... as stock defauld behavior seems to open apns in viewing only selected(or maybe just prefered apn) untill msl has been entered then apns open editable from samsung dm manager and my app.
tl;dr
I'll sort that out no worries.
And some new features comming as well.
Would this app fix GPS that can't lock location?

Had a min to check and found the fix to bypass msl requirement for apn edit.(Clicking enable hotspot changes them for you)
But the fix is changing your sales_code.dat in /system/csc/ I just used QCM. You could put anything.
After reboot click APNs button on the app and they will open editable.
Changing /efs/imei/mps_code.dat from SPR to something else will add dial up networking option on second page of DATA right under LTE APN Settings.
To guy with gps lock issues sorry man I almost never use GPS and only have read problems from people on custom roms. Best of luck to you.

You must not have root?(or "debloated" the required apps?) or have some superuser manager app blocking execution of su.
If you want hotspot and dont have root but have your msl I have posted a thread in the general section on how to enable it with only your msl.
For secret code there are too many to list. All the dialer codes plus many others that are text not numbers, app needs root to do it though.
YOUR right my SU was hosed. Every thing working now.

The development for this phone is awesome!
Towelroot, supersu, and this had me rooted and running on hot spot in less than 5 Minutes from stock...
Thanks OP!
Hi,
Perhaps I have found a method to unlock the LS990.
I dont know, if this works with us carriers.
I have tried it with a non US carrier and it works for me.
Needed:
Root
Root Explorer
Shortcut Master
1. Replace the two files in /carriers/apps with the two files below with Root Explorer
2. Reboot your phone
3. Open Shortcut master and select search
4. Search for apn adn select com.andoird.settings.ApnSettings and then click Launch
5. Select on the Top Right new apn
6. Fill this form out with the apn from your provider (If you don't know the apn look it up in google)
Done
Now everything should work
Still to do:
Disable the Hand free activation from sprint - I have not found the right app now
In the GSM mode my phone shows only GSM in the status bar and not G E H or H+ - Does someone know how to change this?
Automatic selection of the apn, this can perhaps be done with the file /etc/apns-conf.xml
I hopeed I could help some people, if the unlock was succesfull please give me a feedback
This is at your own risk.
Please do it only, if you know what you do!
Tried and it works. Indeed shows gsm to be as well but works.

Do we have to change the permission of those files. I am unable to get gsm signal after replacing the files. Shows a small x on top of the network bar, also the APN is not sticking.

On USA carrier?
No I am using it international
I could it only try on iternational carriers.
Perhaps everybody can write if the phone was used with sprint before and if it was activated.
My phone was not activated and I didn't use it with sprint.
I have done a factory reset before, so that everything was clear.
This is great man!!!
My phone was not activated and im now using it with a Mexican carrier (telcel) with no problems
So how many till now has been able to unlock this? Is it on a particular firmware only? Just wanting to be sure in case I buy this. Oh And is it permanent?

I located in China. I try the sims from CMCC/CU which is the two GSM carrier here and receive the same error.
I covered the two files and set the right permission same as original files, 640 and 600. I don't know what happened. I will take another LS990 to try again.

I did try to copy the g2 files but couldn't get the SIM to detect. Once I overwrote with these files I got it working

perhaps you can post a screenshot with the error?
I have found the app to disable the Hand Free activation:
I have uninstalled LGSetupWizard with Titanum Backup and it was gone.
Someone said change SPR to OPEN setup SIM and APN then change OPEN to spr reboot recovery wipe cache and this will make good for Domestic APN..I will try later on today and report back

Editing the Build prop will give you a bootloops. Also we don't have a recovery yet.
Hi, so before I go out and purchase a new SIM I was hoping someone could help me. Originally I was trying to alter the MMS port set in my APN because MMS was failing over wifi due to running Adblock. In doing so I somehow managed to erase my Internet APN. I believe it was just set to vzwinternet.
So on my lg g3 I unfortunately have no way to add an APN, it works fine for wifi and calls still but I have no cellular internet at the moment. The only option when going to APN settings is Reset to Defaults, which does nothing as it just shows "No APNs". The mobile networks option is actually greyed out under Settings->Wireless & Networks->More... but I'm able to get to APN Settings still by using an app.
Possible solutions I've thought of, does anyone knows if these are possible?
A) Is there any way to edit my build.prop to allow me to add an APN such as "ril.sales_code=LOL & ro.csc.sales_code=LOL" (I've tried this it doesn't work).
B) Is it possible to re-add it by replacing apns-conf.xml in /system/etc/ ? If that is possible could someone post theirs so I can replace it?
C) Are there any root apps to allow me to add an APN? (from my research there aren't any since android 4.0)
Or am I just going to have to go out and get a new SIM? I've already master reset hoping it was software related and that hasn't helped.
EDIT: Nevermind guys fixed it by doing a reflash back to factory with lg flashtool. Nothing to see here *whistles*
Hi Jab
I met the same issue.
Could you please tell me how to reflash back to factory?
Thank you
You need to root it, and use shortcut master to open APN setting, same case with my US Cellular G3

Has anyone gotten this to work on the S9+ yet? I don't plan on activating mine until it is, and was hoping the same thing that worked on S8's would on this model as well.
Ive tried the S 7 Edge mod Here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-s7-edge/how-to/hotspot-bypass-nougat-ok-t3563446)
but it makes the "you havent subscribed to hotspot" message come up (have to factory reset to get it back)
Sucks because it didnt even count data toward it. I think it has to do with OREO and wording changes in the CSC.
You keep looking and I will keep trying and hopefully we will get this going

Hotspot working
I was able to get mine to work. I used shortcut master lite, and searched for ltefunctionality. Went to let apn, and was able to change both settings to dun.
Shortcut master lite is working again

This is what worked for me. My Shortcut Master Lite program had the APN greyed out. I followed these instructions to a T!
This..............
1) Dialer App, ##3282# (DATA)
2) Edit
3) Sprint MSL for mine is 000000
4) APN Settings
5a) "APN" and "APN protocol" should be editable. Make a minor change, save your APN.
5b) Then change them back, save the APN again. Do this for each APN you want full access to.
6) Open the Shortcut Master Lite and open LTEFunctionalityTest
7) Open LTE APN Setting
8) If it's greyed out, close everything and then restart from #6.
9) Edit APN Type, add ",dun" to the end.
10) After you finish editing, save, and you should be good to go.

I followed your steps, verified ",dun" saved even after a reboot, but when I try to enable hotspot, it says I havent subscribed.
Did you do it on all the apns?

just factory reset if you wrote to the global settings with ADB from the old MOD. the language is different in the build prop.
the ONLY way to get the build prop back is a factory reset. we are working on a new ADB method now!
