[GUIDE] How to edit APN on unlocked Boost Mobile LG Stylo 2 LS775 (and others?) - LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion

1 - Extract MAINROOT.zip to your adb folder.
2 - Open a Command Prompt as administrator in your adb folder.
3 - Type in step1.bat in command prompt and hit enter.
4 - You should now be in an adb shell prompt, type in run-as con and hit enter.
5 - You now have shell access and you can tweak the android system with these permissions but tweaking the barebones of the linux kernel will be impossible without a full root. Selinux is the culprit.
6 - You can use the package manager (pm) to block apps and settings command (settings) in this adb shell prompt to tweak the workings of android or use the activity manager to access the hidden sprint and lg menus to change APNs and tweak CDMA radio control.
7 - In the adb shell prompt type in pm list packages and hit enter.
8 - From the list of packages find one that has system activities we'd be looking to access and tweak such as com.lge.hiddenmenu.
9 - Type in dumpsys package com.lge.hiddenmenu and hit enter and in the list you will see activities which can be started, such as com.lge.hiddenmenu/.Power.TherDaeMitigation.
10 - Type in am start -n com.lge.hiddenmenu/.Power.TherDaeMitigation to start the activity.
11 - You'll want to disable thermal mitigation to boost the raw performance of the phone.
12 - Repeat steps 7 -10 to access any activity you find interesting and wish to tweak.
13 - Hint : am start -n com.lge.SprintHiddenMenu/.iot.IotHiddenMenuMain is a good one many people were hoping to access.
Thanks to @anthonykb. He was on ZV6 firmware version.
I no longer have a stylo 2 so I am limited in what help I can provide - I just asked @anthonykb for permission to post this guide here because I knew how much I wanted to do this when I did have it
This method may also work on other phones such as LG X Power (someone care to try?)
It also might open a path to find a way for permanent root for those on firmware higher than ZV3?...

Hi.
I'd appreciate your input on my situation - unlocked Boost LG ls775a on Android 7, Z8, - I have SPC code, I have access to h*n menu.
T-Mobile SIM - only LTE mode works. I can send SMS or browse internet, but regular call does not work. If I press call #, - the phone permanently attempts to call, no error, - you can switch to other apps. T-Mobile Fast APN.
I tried to turn on VoLTE RF in h*n menu, but no luck.
I believe the phone might be still configured to route calls thru CDMA (Boost legacy). Can you give me general approach on how to de-couple from CDMA or any other ideas to make regular calls work?
Also, if I switch from LTE mode, say, to GSM/WCDMA auto, - nothing works at all (no calls, no internet, SMS - not attempted).
Next, I tried FreedomPop SIM (for ATT). FreedomPop registers thru WiFi. Then I turn off WiFi. In LTE mode - no internet, no calls (in FreedomPop calls routed thru Internet) are possible.
I read somewhere on XDA forums, that ATT doesnt allow LTE if MIED is not registered with them, so not registered phones work on slower-than-LTE protocol/speeds. Other phone works with FreedomPop, H+ is displayed next to connection quality bars, and ATT is displayed as network. Does it mean I need WCDMA working on the phone, and it somehow doesnt work?
I have menu similar to this t=2022763

Edit APN
Hello. I'm from Ukraine. I need your help. I have a phone LG G Stylo LS770 android 6.0. In it, the network of the Ukrainian mobile operator is working, you can call. But the Internet does not work. The APN settings can not be changed. How can this be remedied? Thank you for the information.

[Q] re-unlock problem. Please help

Installed WP7 successfully, and unlocked it as instructed.
However, didnt have the activation code. So used everything except Windows Live services.
Next day, I got the code from Microsoft and activated my WP7.
But now the phone has been locked, and I cant unlock it. Tried everything mentioned here like setting dates, turning off firewall etc, but no success.
When I run Chevron, it says can't connect with device.
Otherwise, I am able to connect to Zune and transfer media files.
I like the OS, but dont want to be limited by Marketplace only. I want to install apps. Right now, I cant even install from marketplace as I think there is a limit.
Before you quit on this amazing OS,,,been in the same boat as you for the last two days...just fixed not more than two minutes prior to this post.
-Hard reset your phone
-Do nothint with it besides seting up mail account (not live ofcourse or you migh end up attempting to unlock)
-resend certificate and install on phone
-make sure phone synced with zune
-run chevron as administrator and unlock!
-now deploy all the necessary setup tools,,,Connection setup, XMDMoDDeployer, and Touch explorer,,,finish set up process like you did before.
-use activation code and vwalaa!!!
And by the way,,what ever you do do not try the stop chevron Unlocking reg edit. It has been reported to be the cause of this annoying issue.....and besides you are better off unlocking everytime you wish to deploy an up with chevron than trying to do the initial rom setup and unlocking.,,,if you know what I mean.
Hope this helps.
First read this
a) Make sure you properly install the certificate from your email.
b) Make sure you run the xaps after install and extract then move the file correctly.
I would say a good 85% of cases where you either cant unlock or your phone relocks is because of the above to issues. There are other factors but the above imo are the two mains ones.
PS.. This is NOT the Q&A/General forum , this is the dev forum, please do not post here again.

Ummm, not BS, something is causing a re-lock, but setting the PortalUrlProd and PortalUrlInt to invalid values makes ChevronWP7 fail no matter what... Read this thread: For those who can't unlock anymore using ChevronWP7, here's why!
DanielNTX said:
I wrote this inside of another thread, but decided to make a new thread because others may not find it or read it. For those who have tried everything, this is the reason why you can't unlock the phone unless you do a full reset:
The majority of the failures to unlock your phone again is because you used a registry script that changed the HD2 to identify it as an HD7 and may have included registry entries that set PortalUrlProd and PortalUrlInt to 127.0.0.1 or a Null value and somehow your phone became relocked. Once it's set this way, no matter what you do to unlock the phone it won't work because the proper server to query is "developerservices.windowsphone.com" is not defined on the phone. ChevronWP7 works by hijacking and spoofing the address of developerservices.windowsphone.com to be your local computer and then responds appropriately over port HTTPS (443) to the phone.
From this post, Microsoft/ChevronWP7 responds with this:
Code:
<DaysLeft>365</DaysLeft>
<AppsAllowed>10</a:AppsAllowed>
If you set it to 127.0.0.1 in the registry this references your phone when it tries to unlock. The phone itself is not running a spoofed HTTPS server so it will never work. Setting it to null means it doesn't no where to go either. If your phone is working in Zune and you hit the end button on the phone, you will notice ChevronWP7 will report that the phone is pin-locked, this means ChevronWP7 knows about the phone, but the "uh oh - Please make sure it's connected using USB, Please start the Zune application" message it generates is kind of ambiguous and is not the actual error we are seeing here.
The original values are these:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
"PortalUrlProd"="https://developerservices.windowsphone.com/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010"
PortalUrlInt"="https://developerservices.windowsphone-int.com/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010"
and the corresponding certificate is this:
{
"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"
}
That's how the phone can trust the HTTPS connection because you imported the certificate.
Now if you change the URL to something else, you will need a corresponding certificate. You can make one with makecert.exe or makessl.exe form the various resource/development toolkits out there on the Microsoft website.
In my example, I'm going to use a site that doesn't exist "developerservices.unlock.me". You should change the PortalUrlProd and PortalUrlInt on the phone as follows:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
"PortalUrlProd"="https://developerservices.unlock.me/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010"
"PortalUrlInt"="https:/developerservices.unlock.me/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010"
Now in your hosts. file in \windows\system32\drivers\etc folder, you should set up an entry for developerservices.unlock.me with your computer's own IP address.
Once you do you need to install a new certificate on the phone for whatever host in the URL you made and you will be able to use ChevronWP7 to unlock incase it ever locks you out again.
To simplify the making a self-signed certificate portion, I've created a cert for "developerservices.unlock.me" with the validity date of 1000 days. It's included in this post. Hope this helps you all with maintaining an unlocked Windows Phone 7 and understanding why ChevronWP7 won't unlock anymore.

[Q] How do you get the Hidden menu dial codes to work??

I have a Verizon Galaxy Note 3 that i purchased from my brother. Theres no issues with IMEI or insurance or cancelled past due accounts. I pop in my Tmobile unlimited LTE sim card and i get LTE speeds without rooting or switching to band 4. Every now and then it will revert back to HSPA Plus speed but rarely. %99 of the time its on LTE. Only thing i did was put the correct APN for Tmobile LTE. So its great that the Verizon Note 3 works right out the box for Tmobile LTE. I want to enable AWS and Band 4 anyway. So i Root the phone using the new Toweroot method which was as easy as clicking a link and thats it. The phone is rooted. Heres my problem: I try and enter the code in the dialpad the *#2766336837# and nothing happens. I re-enter the code and press send this time and i get the error message "Connection Problem or Invalid MMI Code" Why is this happening? Is there a prior step i am missing?? I read about efs/carrier switch to enable this from off to on but how do i access it?? Please note that the tmobile sim card is in the phone when i attempt to do this. Should there be a verizon sim in to do this??
All the help would be appreciated.
Samsung disabled most of the dialer codes for the Note 3, including the service menu.

1- I'm not sure what is this code used for, but it seems the correct code is 27663368378, not 2766336837 (?)
2- Do you have a screenshot if this code was entered successfully? If yes, I can make a shortcut directly to this feature without entering the code.
3- Anyway, you can enable the hidden menu by follow this guide:
3.1- Make sure the file hiddenmenu.apk is present in the /system/app/ folder.
3.2- Install Terminal Emulator from the Play Store.
3.3- Enter the following commands:
Code:
su
echo -n ON > /efs/carrier/HiddenMenu
3.4- Reboot your device.
3.5- Try to enter these codes: *#06#, *#0011#, *#27663368378# (my suggested code) OR *#2766336837# (your original code) and see if it works.
Thanks. This method worked I am now able to access the service menu and change to band 4 but I noticed that band 4 was already active so much for that.

SM-N900V StraightTalk Jasmine Rooted APN Setting menu HELP???

This is a SM-N900V Verizon Note 3 On StraightTalk.
Updated to Jasmine from lollipop via flash fire and odin, apn went to a verzion apn, it removed he original TRACFONE.VZWENTP apn...
You can't edit the apn with the verizon sim card.
*28890 won't work. it says

}
All settings are greyed out.
This is a screen shot after I put the att sim in and change the settings and rebooted with the Verizon/straight talk sim.
If you put in a ATT sim then you can add/change the apn info. (that's what I did to get around the problem)
You can also delete /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db then reboot and some say you can add a new APN but it doesn't work for me.
it adds telephony.db when rebooted and the standard Verizon APN is in there and nothing can be changed, it's all sill greyed out.
I also heard you can add to apns-conf.xml and when you have global selected it will find the apn, nvr tryed it, i want my menu ungreyed, I have root so whas he problem?
lol
Anyone figure this out yet?
My question is How do you just make the apn menu ungreyed while running a sim for verizon so you can change what u want?
EDIT: BTW if ur running on straighttalk on lollipop the menu is till greyed out.
I have root, Es File Explorer, Root Browser, SQL Editor, What file do I have to edit?
TIA for Everyone's Help, N I hope this helps someone else...
Anyone? Anyone?
I've been searching all over and haven't seen a way.
Ok Days and Days of reading and I came up with this to allow you to edit your apn's in the SM-N900V lollipop 5.0 apn menu with a Starighttalk Verizon sim... (Still doesn't work correctly on the SM-N900V, looks like it works on other phones tho.)
FYI this is a Version Note 3 SM-N900V with a Straight Verizon Sim, If you put in a ATT Sim you can change APN settings...
Here's my original Settings For the SM-N900V on straight talk with the Verizon sim.
Notices how all the settings are greyed out...
You need root then you can change Authtype from -1 to Authtype 0 Via SQLite Editor from play store so you can edit apn's via the apn menu.... (I have the free version, from what I read you need the pro version)
I have Authtype in my /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db when looking in SQLite Editor(free ver).
As you can see in the Red Line Box these are my settings...
If you change Authtype VIA SQLite Editor (free version) you will get.
As you can see it changed from the -1 to 0, but it also changed the carrier_enabled to "True" and modem_cognitive to "False"
When you reboot the phone the APN will not work because of the true & false it should remain 1 and 0, I think the free version does this to make people buy the pro version of SQLite Editor.
SQLite Editor and all the other one's I tryed for free only have a check mark, they will not let you edit the line yourself. so you will end up with a true or false instead of a 1, or 0
I figured I would edit the file On Windows 7 with a free editor...
SQLiteDatabaseBrowserPortable_3.8.0_English.paf.exe (toss is in Google you'll find it...)
When I edited VIA SQLiteDatabaseBrowserPortable_3.8.0_English.paf.exe I changed the Authtype and the sim slot to 0 instead of -1
It changed everything I asked it to.
Phone boot's up as normal and works fine.
When I go back to my APN settings it's still greyed out, Phone works #1 tho. I got 4g net and can do sms/mms.
Does anyone know whats going on with this? Why can' I ungrey my APN menu in lolipop or jasmine when I have root?
BTW if your gonna try to edit ur APN Just keep a copy of your /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db on ur PC, if something get's mess up you can always copy it on the root of ur phone then copy to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/ Via Root Browser or ES File Explorer (if you have root), Both are free on the play store. (They have ad's)
TIA for any help n I hope this helps someone else.
<BTW Admin's, IF this is in the wrong place please move it for me, TIA, otherwise I'll have to repost in the Verizon section, you can also remove this line>
BTW adding ,dun to apn type in the settings doesn't let wifi tether work on the SM-N900V Lollipop/root with straight talk. I tryed many ways... Jasmin works just fine for wifi tether tho...
SM-900V (Note 3 Verizon on ST) Greyed out Fix
1) backup device , I use super backup
2) use Odin from 4.4.2 to stick 5.0
3) use Arabic tool app to root 5.o lollipop
4) install/use flash fire for jasmine 6.1
----- above steps may not be ne eded----
6) boot into recovery and wipe cache and factory reset (volume up, power, home)
Keep straight talk verizon Sim card in.
7) Set up phone with no WiFi or data on. This will show you what settings ST has on server for APN.
8) After basic set up , (no Gmail account etc no Internet access) go to settings more mobile , APN.
9) Should see t he greyed out settings. Write them all down. Adding LTE as bearer at the end.
10)*important step* put phone in airplane mode and shut down.
11) pull battery and Verizon ST Sim card , keep Sim card out , put in battery start as normal.
10) ignore the no Sim card message. Say OK.
11) go to the more mobile , from settings. Mobile network will be greyed out. *important*
Turn off airplane mode by swiping down and immediately select the mobile networks sections once it's not grey. (I did it as fast as I could just in case)
12) You will see basic Verizon APN or the standard verixon internet greyed out. Select the plus on top right.
13) Now add everything you wrote down from step #9 remembering to add LTE as bearer. (Notice that the APN on/off is still greyed out but it has a green check and says LTE on or active.)
14) save APN. Note: it will not show up and it will seem like nothing has changed. Power off device and put Verizon ST Sim card in.
15) upon boot LTE should be working.
16) restore apps and other things we with super backup. I hope this works. For you. Sorry if any typos. I wrote this from the phone minutes after fixing it.
Jasmine 6.1 recommended. Mobile Hotspot active , no root loss, super user , mms, and 4G LTE all active.

Get Update from different carrier using SmartSwitch [Canadian]

This guide is for Canadian S6 and S6 edge owners who are with Rogers or Fido since the been waiting for Marshmallow update forever. However, This should work for for others as long as the TWO CARRIERS share the exact phone model, which is the case for all s6 in canadian market.
DO it on your own responsibility
Doing this will not delete your data or trigger knox ... However, its wise to backup with SmartSwitch before attempting so.
1- I assume that you running windows and have latest version of samsung smart switch installed (I tried it on Windows 10)
2- install Fiddler (Its used to capture HTTP traffic and we will use it to be man-in-the-middle between Smartswitch and Samsung servers)
https://www.telerik.com/download/fiddler
3- Install FiddlerScript Editor (we will use to write and edit script rules)
http://www.telerik.com/download/fiddler/fiddlerscript-editor
4- Open Fiddler go to Rules --> customize rules
delete everything and past whats in the txt file in the attachment
5 - In this we are interested in only two functionsin that script
the contact from SMARTSwitch to the Sever: Here instead my phone identify itself as Fido phone "FMC" to the server it pretend its Kodoo phone "KDO"
Code:
static function OnBeforeRequest(oSession: Session) {
if (oSession.uriContains("NF_DownloadBinaryInform")){
oSession.utilReplaceInRequest("FMC", "KDO");
}
}
the contact from the server to SMARTSwitch: Here i get replay from the server for Kodoo phone "KDO" but i pass it to SmartSwitch as Fido phone "FMC"
Code:
static function OnBeforeResponse(oSession: Session) {
if (oSession.uriContains("NF_Download")){
oSession.utilReplaceInResponse("KDO","FMC");
}
}
6- Now safe and restart Fiddler
- Also when you open Fiddler go to File -> Capture traffic
make sure its checked
- Also make sure that fiddler can access HTTPS traffic by going to Tools--> Fiddler options --> HTTPS tab
make sure that 'capture HTTPS connect" and "decrypt https traffic" are both checked
7- Another thing worth mentioning, in Smart Switch > More > Preferences > Software update you have to deactivate Latest software Pre-Download
if you keep that option checked, the download will start in background before you click the update button, and procedure will end in error too;
8- Start SmartSwitch and plug your phone.
9- Click on the Update button
10- after Smart switch is offering the update download, accept the terms of update, then immediately when download start preperation, fidller must be closed. it is very crucial that Fiddler be turned off at just the right time otherwise you will get an error ;
Note: those are the codes for Canadian Carriers:
- Fido: FMC
- Koodo : KDO
-Rogers: RWC
-Bell: BMC
- Wind: GLW
-Telus: TLS
- Virgin: VMC
-Sasktel: BWA
-EastLink: ESK
- Vidéotron: VTR

How do I find out, from which carrier do I have my phone? I am using unlocked Canadian S6 in Czech Republic.
This method worked for me on Rogers Galaxy S6. I am currently running 6.0.1. I used TLS as the update carrier.

In the latest Smart Switch, when you plug in your phone it will show your carrier abbreviation letters

If the phone is not rooted, only unlocked... then you should have some apps on the phone from the carrier still. If you are with Rogers, there will be Rogers apps on the phone, if you have a Bell phone then Bell apps... etc, etc

You're right, I have some Rogers applications installed, but disabled.
My Rogers S6 updated quite nicely with this method. I used TLS as the provider in the script attached to the first post.
I had to try this a couple of times to get Fiddler turned off at the right time. Eventually it started downloading the update though and then it all worked great. I just did the update today, but everything seems to be working fine so far.
I used a Windows 10 computer and ran the Fiddler program and Smart Switch by right-clicking and running as administrator. I also used the WINCONFIG button on Fiddler and "enabled all" in that dialog box. Not sure if that is what made the difference. Also, after installing Fiddler and configuring the script with the TLS and RWC changes, I restarted the computer just to make sure all changes took effect properly.
Also updated Smart Switch to the latest version.
Good luck...

I am using this version, flashed a few weeks ago via Odin, is it the latest version I can get, or there is already newer one?
Thanks for your help guys!

Does it change the CSC after update or leave your original CSC?

We only trick samsung servers that your phone belong to a different carrier thats all, so if the update has new CSC you also get the new one. so when later your own carrier release an update you will still get it over the wifi
