Confirguring devices - Sprint LG G6 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I recently bought this Sprint G6 from my friend as he said it's already unlocked and can use any sim.
It work fine except when i reboot the device, it run "Confirguring device" then stuck at step 1 for a while then just close and said "please contact your carrier to config the device".
It's kinda annoying, is there anyway to get rid of that? Also, can i flash TMobile rom to my Sprint G6?

If you enter ##brand# on the dialer it removes the sprint branding which might get rid of that issue too as long as the sim card is removed when you enter that code. Note it does reboot the device but none of the user settings are reset or removed just the carrier specific stuff.

D803 issues after unlocking... no service fml.

Hi,
I just unlocked my LG G2 D803 "originally with rogers" (CAN) using a unlock code that I purchased over the net.
Bell Sim Card now loaded and activated.
Once I restart the phone it says No Service..
I set the APN correctly
Still nothing, and it just keeps looking for the network. Oddly I receive a "New voice mail" notification.. I try and click it and just get.. Warning, emergency calls only.
What could be the issue?
Would downloading a custom rom and installing a new modem do any good?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks guys
Sincerely,
Royce
For me when I unlocked my phone I had to enter the unlock code twice for the phone to unlock my D803... Just check from the secret menu... All options should say a message about being not personalized

Every one in that "secret menu" says my phone is not personalized. I'm pretty sure this means the phone is unlocked. I noticed other people having the exact same issue after unlocking their phone. Still cant find any solutions.
Solved...
The phones been blacklisted.
Anyone who is having similar issues.. this is most likely the case.

help with lg g6 sprint unlock

i contacted sprint CS and they said my phone is unlocked. but when i put non-sprint sim, phone says sim not found message. i did uicc unlock and it says successful but i still get the same error message. i even did ##72786# and that did not help either.
i understand that since uicc says unlock successful, sprint indeed unlock my phone. but why the hell is it not taking non-sprint sim yet?

I'm in the same boat. I get a message that my sim tray isn't all the way in and then have the x over the sim card icon at the top. Kind of odd. I put it back on my sprint line and will call tech support to see if they can help.

That's the next step. I just have to wait until I get home so I don't need to use my phone and can pop the Tmo sim back in and do the reset. I did a whole reprovision and all and was surprised that didn't do it.
And you would have thought that would have done it, but no. It did initially. The restore stalled so I restarted the phone, and was back in the same boat again. Just reset again.
Got into developer mode and turned on oem unlock. Haven't had any problems since. Restarted phone a few times and even reset it again. Oem unlock stayed on after resetting.
Hi, could you help me with the procedure. I've turned developer mode on and turned on oem unlock. Then I switched to GSM/UMTS mode, restarted the phone. No service, HiddenMenu does not install (corrupt file). What did you d for it to work? (I have LG G6 LS993)

just do FACTORY reset
indeed, when doing that, all apps that are deleted will be restored, including your hidden menu app
I have unlocked my Sprint G6 and am using it on the TMUS network. Has anyone figured out how to load a different firmware that would support LTE and voLTE (Wifi Calling is not an option right now on my phone).
The phone seems to be stuck on 4G and the signal bar randomly goes up and down.
I'm in the same boat. I bought a Sprint LG G6, supposedly new, unlocked, paid for, and when I put in the TMobile SIM, it thinks the tray isn't inserted all the way. When I boot to the android OS, it sees bars, but it doesn't think a SIM is inserted. TMobile is baffled (I took it into the store). Now, I'm reading all kinds of conflicting information about how to deal with this... what's what? FYI, the person who sold me the phone is splitzo, won't answer my texts/calls. Unavailable for help.
Which of these is right?
1. I need to UICC Unlock it first. What is this, and how is it done?
2. I need to do a FACTORY reset. Where is this done from, bootloader, or the android OS's system menu? Are there specifics on how to do this?
3. I need to have Sprint SIM unlock it and that alone is good enough.
4. I need to flash the firmware from the bootloader. I didn't see anything on the TMobile forum for the LG G6 that looked promising for being able to do this. Astonishingly little. I'm assuming it cannot actually be done, flash from Sprint to TMobile...
5. I need to do something ELSE from developer mode or from the bootloader. How does one get into "developer mode"? Is this the android OS developer mode, or is this bootloader/recovery mode/lower-level developer mode? How does one get into developer mode?
Please help straighten this out. I can't be the only one left in this situation!
2. Factory Reset by going to Settings > System > Reset
5. Enable Developer Mode by going to Settings > System > About Phone > Tap on Build Number 7+ times.

I finally figured out that for the Sprint phones, a lot of phones in this model had bad SIM trays. I had the SIM tray replaced and everything (including the TMobile SIM chip) started working great. I didn't need to do anything to it, since it was unlocked.

is this true???
I'm having trouble with Tmobile sim on g6 unlocked as well. After talking to sprint reps for numerous times, finally one guy said I have to de-register the device from sprint network to release it to tmobile..
his recommendation was I port out .. LOL thanks Sprint.
Is the Sprint G6 hardware different to an unbranded G6, can the unbranded firmware be put on once the phone is unlocked?

I think the unbranded/unlocked ones are GSM only. I was looking to see if a TMo one could be used on Verizon, and saw there were a few variations and the ones with CDMA are different than the rest.
They're not where Samsung is making one phone with everything.
Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
so after talking with sprint community thru PM (much better support), I got my g6 unlocked. on tmobile, talk and txt works but no DATA. It seems like common issue but no one has firm answer. Anyone?
where did you get the sim tray from? been having this issue since i bought it. hard reset works but restart does not! so if your phone is dead of battery, then you gotta do hard reset which is a pain to transfer data/reinstall etc..

are you sure? i am in the same boat. spent countless hours on this. my phone is unlocked, hard reset detects other network sims but once i restart/re-insert it won't.
if what you said is true, have you tried to put sprint sim using defective tray? at least for me, it detects sprint sim anytime but other sims only when i do hard reset. if tray is the fault, then it should not even detect sprint sim, correct?
where did you get the sim? am worried if i buy from ebay, what if that too has the same issue?
I mean the sim reader ITSELF was bad, not the tray you put it in with. Sorry about that. I used several sims, from TMobile...

How to unlock without the device unlock app?

Hi All - I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S8 from someone else. It worked fine when I was with T-mobile but when I moved to another network and popped in a new SIM, it asked me to "Enter network unlock code". I figured it must be locked to T-mobile so I reached out to them. They said my account met all the unlock criteria and said they'll send me instructions via email. I got the email two days later saying I need to use the "Device Unlock App". However, there's no such app on phone and there's no way to install it either (its not in the Play Store). I went back to T-mobile and they said since the device wasn't purchased through T-mobile, its not be a T-mobile "branded" phone. My questions are:
1. If its not a T-mobile branded phone, why does it only work on the T-mobile network? I checked its not rooted. It doesn't have any T-mobile apps and doesn't show any splash screen with the T-mobile logo.
2. Someone said that Samsung GS8 locks to the network of the first SIM you put into an unlocked phone. Is that true?
3. T-mobile says they've "whitelisted" my IMEI, so if I can somehow get the Device Unlock app I may be able to unlock it. Any idea how I can do that? Do I need to flash the firmware and install the T-mobile version or is there another way.
Thanks!
If you need to app, you can try here: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-14011
However, as your phone is asking for the unlock code, the app might work but not unlock your phone.
You really need to do a network check and see which network is your phone actually locked. If your phone needs unlocking code, you might need factory level codes.
I think you should visit :

Flashing over Sprint firmware for Spectrum?

Hey team,
I have an SM-A205U that apparently was flashed for Sprint or Boost. I put a Spectrum (MVNO) sim in the phone and it works, but I can't get rid of the Sprint device registration failure notification. I think I saw during bootloader that it lists BST as provider.
I haven't been able to figure out how to get rid of that Sprint branding. It also shows up in "About Phone".
Which firmware do I need to load to get rid of it? I looked at sammobile, but don't know which one I need to download to have a brand-free firmware.
Any thoughts?
Do *#272*yourimei# and change csc to xaa and it will reboot and branding will be removed

Network locked V35

Hi. I recently bought the LG V35 supposedly unlocked; however, I am unable to activate on T-Mobile.
Backstory: After purchasing the V35, I followed the instructions on cross flashing to get rid of the AT&T bloat here https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v35/development/bootloader-unlock-root-instruction-t4052145. The firmware I downloaded was from https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-lmv350ulm-firmwares/; however, the AIO and the USA versions are both the same. I flashed one of the firmware and all is fine, except now I get "Network locked" after I insert my SIM card from T-Mobile. I went AT&T's site https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/#/https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/#/ for an unlock code; however, I do not get a prompt on my phone to enter the code. This is after I flashed the phone.
My questions are, which version of the firmware was I to use so my phone is network unlocked AIO or USA? If they are both the same, how do I get the phone to be network unlocked so I can activate the V35 to T-Mobile.
TIA

You need to be on AT&T firmware to use the carrier unlock code. If you cross flash to different firmware before carrier unlocking you are out of luck. EDIT: see posts below where new information has emerged.
Obviously your V35 was not carrier unlocked/SIM card unlocked, in spite of what the seller said?
Unlike with the LG V30 series, flashing carrier unlocked firmware does NOT carrier unlock AT&T LG V35. You need to use carrier unlock code prior to cross flashing different variant firmware.
Perhaps you can contact someone with Octoplus box and get back to AT&T firmware to use carrier unlock code. AT&T doesn't publicly release KDZ for their firmware, but some dealers with Medusa and Octoplus boxes still somehow have it.

My understanding is that if you flash the firmware for south america, when you boot it with your sim card, a pop up will appear asking for an unlock code. Haven't done it myself but it sounds like in your situation it wouldn't hurt to try...
Of course, if u don't get a pop up, try the code that supposedly brings up pop up to enter code.
follow this link for the MIA version that should work.
cheers, let us know if you try it the results.
Thread Cleaned and it will end here regarding this back and forth, take care.
Hi OP, use LGUP to flash Mexican region kdz, insert your T-Mobile sim and unlock window will pop-up upon reboot and you can use the unlock code to unlock your phone. Good luck.

Guaranteed? Well, as stated by those mentioning it here, I don't think we've actually done it, only repeating that others say it will work. So again, guaranteed? I couldn't guarantee it, but it seems unlikely that people would say it does work, and be lying about it?
Here's a GDrive link to the kdz you'd want to flash to try it. It's the latest Oreo for the south american region. Aside from using LGUP to flash it, you'd need an unlock code.
The md5 sum from this LG Page should match, to verify legitimacy.
Let us know if it works.

So I just flashed my phone from the link you provided and no dice. I reflashed, factory reset, insert the SIM card after completing set up, insert SIM card after factory reset the second time, etc. with no luck. I am not getting a pop to ask for the unlock code.
EDIT to add: So I found a set of instructions when I don't get a pop up asking for the network unlock code (below)
Second option (device doesn't ask for an unlock code with an unaccepted SIM)
1. Start the device with an accepted simcard (example LG V35 ThinQ was bought in Orange you need to insert an Orange card)
2. Go to the dial screen and press “2945#*model number#” (the same way you enter a phone number)
Example: the device is a P999 you need to enter “2945#*999#” or for KU990 you need to enter “2945#*990#” etc…
So far I am getting closer. Now I get a message saying SIM not provisioned. I will continue to research and troubleshoot. If I continue to run into a another roadblock, I will post here. Thank you all.
Okay, now I fracked up something else. I went from V350EM10h_OPEN_SCA_OP_118.kdz to V350ULM20f_00_NAO_US_
Okay now I am stuck at the LG Life's Good splash screen. I went back to LGUP and did not see it was defaulted to Refurbish going from V350EM10h_00_OPEN_SCA_OP_0118.kdz to V350ULM20f_00_NAO_US_OP_0218.kdz. I went back and reran LGUP with Upgrade chosen; however, the phone is still stuck at the splash screen. Help!

So you've tired to reflash ulm and have an issue there. But did you get it sim unlocked?
here's also some instructions I found re unlocking sim if you don't get a pop-up
UNLOCK LG UNLOCK INSTRUCTIONS
ONCE YOU HAVE RECEIVED THE UNLOCK CODE EMAIL, PLEASE FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
1) Insert a SIM card that is not from the original carrier in your phone and power on the phone.
2) Once finished loading your phone will ask you for the "SIM Network Unlock PIN".
If your phone does not prompt for a code, please dial 2945#* [model number] # to bring up the prompt
For example LG G4 D851: Dial 2945#*851#
3) Enter the LG Network Unlock Code.
If your phone asks for the "SIM network unlock PIN", use the NCK code.
If your phone asks for the "SIM Service Provider unlock PIN", use the SPCK code.
---------------------
But now you have an additional issue, you say you used 'refurbish' mode for both flashings? To the S.A. one and then back to the ulm one?
To my understanding, that should have worked. But whatever the case may have been, you're stuck now, from what I understand. If that's the case, all I can suggest is trying 'DL' mode for the ULM and select all partitions, OR maybe try 'Upgrade' (if you did refurbish" or refurbish if you did the other.
Sorry to hear you're having trouble, I guess, if you followed the procedure and it didn't work, then this is an indication there IS NOT a way to unlock the sim if you failed to do it on ATT OS.
Let us know if you're able to make any progress / got it sim unlocked or not. We'll have to start relaying the results so others don't have the same issue.

Actually, I was able to get the phone to be network unlocked. I mistakenly went from S.A. version to NAO as Refurbished instead of Upgrade on the LGUP.

Well that's not good. I can only suggest try doing a partition D/L? I don't know if that would help or not, but not sure it could be worse than it is now? Certainly don't try the other options like chip erase etc. Those are not for a situation like this, they will certainly make things worse!

You did not ready the whole thread. I was able to network unlock my device after using a South American firmware. In my haste, I used LGUP and flashed the NAO firmware as a Refurbish instead as Upgrade.

Well that's not good. I can only suggest try doing a partition D/L? I don't know if that would help or not, but not sure it could be worse than it is now? Certainly don't try the other options like chip erase etc. Those are not for a situation like this, they will certainly make things worse!
