Hello, I've been searching for the answer everywhere and can't seem to find it. I have two options, my first option is to buy an LG G2 with an broken screen for $70 and repair it for my person use. The catch is its T-Mobile, could I unlock the phone and use it with Verizon? My second option is that my friend has an LG G2 from US Cellular and is willing to mail it to me, is it any way of unlocking it to Verizon?
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
Recently my LG 20 VS995 was die and now is not detect it as it did before ... in mode QDL9008, well .. this equipment was a refurbish equipment and I want think was a defecting phone and well the question for now is
Which is the best model variant of LG V20 ? ... VS995, H990,LS996,US996,H910, etc ?
...I am considering the possibility of acquiring a new equipment after having had a phone like this
Thanks
for me it was a toss up between the H918 and the US996 ... because I had a VS995 but on TMobile service it was horrible.. and it looks like the US996 has almost all of the bands.. but I went with the H918 because I knew it would have Wifi Calling baked in plus ALL of the bands for T-Mobile Service..
I have a VZW (Verizon for anyone searching on that, too) G6. It's unlocked. The bootloader might be unlocked about the time hell freezes over.
What I want is Nougat working as it does stock. I want root for TI and V4A (maybe needs SELinux tool to get to permissive), plus a couple of other toys. I want a phone that operates with VZW and also in Europe.
Is there a way to root this phone? (Searching on VZW produced one panic msg about a sprint phone locking every night and that's it?)
Unfortunately the only variant with root are US997 Unbranded (without any letter) and the European H870.
Sigh... The H870, I suspect, doesn't handle CDMA, right?
Nope. But the US997 should accordin to LG Official Website
The non-branded G6 does, indeed, allow unlocking the bootloader. NTL, since this whole exercise hinges on getting my wife a phone that can be unlocked (she doesn't care about it, I do), I've taken another route (with a "u"). I have an old G5 that, I thought, had a failing screen. To date, it's been fine. And it's better than the current taped together Droid. Yes, tape around the bottom to keep ther top from coming off(!). So much for the G6.
Bottom line: End of question. Thanks for the input. I appreciate the help.
Answer: In the US only the US997 unbranded version (buy direct from the factory) can have the bootloader unlocked. European, GSM-only phones can be unlocked but won't work in the US with CDMA carriers like Verizon.
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
