Hello,
I recently received an LG G6 model # US997 and have been trying to activate it on Sprint.
Sprint Customer Service and retail employees are unable to add the IMEI to their system/inventory.
I've been told even though the phone supports the Sprint LTE, band 25 it will not work on the Sprint network.
My questions:
-Is this true or just a lie so they don't have to deal with a technical issue?
-Would swapping the modem stack allow me to activate on Sprint or no?
-Do I have any course of action or do I have a beautiful paperweight?
Thanks for the help!
Hi guys
A shop offered me a lg g6 demo unit for a very low price. My question is does it have gsm ?
A few days ago i bought a g5 and it just had the demo software on it but gsm worked.
Please help the offer doesnt last for long time and i must decide.
See the model number in settings-general-about phone-phone model, att is h871, tmobile not sure.
Hello. I need an advice. I am planing to buy an unlocked LG G6 but I am thinking between H871 At&T and H870. H871 is 50us$ cheaper, but because I live in Europe I'm not sure will I be able to get updates without active at&t sim. I have G4 H810 and I cannot update because I have no active at&t sim. Will I have same problem on H871? Any advice?
Is it that H871 operates on different frequencies and LTE may not work? http://www.phonemore.com/lg-g6-h871/specs/3247
While reading G6 forum, I have noticed that all "improvements" all modifications are for (mostly) H870. and as you said, you live in Europe, why risk it?
Yes and off-course, as adamsek said, you must be aware of different frequencies.
H870, the price difference will cover better reception and bootloader unlock.

And warranty !
It does seem that because I am not using an AT&T sim, I cannot get any updates. Best to get H870 with updates and root possibilities.
Don't forget that G6 will certainly never get Oreo.
Are you sure? I've rea something different: G6 is in Android Recommended Devices list, so LG has to roll out Oreo, and has said that will do this in Q2 2018.
Hi. A Verizon agent told me that if I use an unlocked Lg G6 like model 997, certain features will not work like visual voicemail, VM notifications, cloud features etc.
Are any of you having trouble with Verizon features when you use the unlocked Lg G6. The model for Verizon is VS988 and is quite expensive.
The price for US997 seems to be better than Verizon locked phone. But I am afraid that important features may not work if using unlocked.
Also I heard the IMEI number of digits is 14 for unlocked and Verizon customer service will not activate these models.
Any advice , suggestions? Thanks
Which G6 model works (or can be ROM-flashed to work) on all 4 major US networks?
Unless I'm mistaken, the US997 will work on 3 of the 4 networks, but not Sprint. And from what I've heard, you have to use a stock LS993 for Sprint, because flashing a US997 to a LS993 either won't work on Sprint, or Sprint won't approve it for their network (even though the hardware is the same.) If that's true (and I'm not positive that it is), would it feasible to start with a LS993 instead, then flash that to a US997 should I want to use it on the other 3 networks?
Thanks.
