Hi. my sister lives in Canada and I live in the Middle-East. She's sent to me a LG Optimus L3 E400R (when i think it's made by the request of Europe) and now in my country, when i turned it on a gray screen appeared with this text: SIM network unlock PIN. Unlock attempt 1 of 10, and had to choices: Dismiss & Unlock and only emergency calls were allowed. I tried 10 incorrect pins, and now this gray screen isn't shown anymore. Now I've but an Unlock Code, but never this screen appears. Now I thinks its hard locked! Is there any way which I can solve this issue or this phone is dead for ever? Plz some1 help me soooooooooooooooooon

Just flash to a new Stock ROM using KDZ or simply usingg Official LG updater. Put in emergency mode and restore it.

You just have to buy an unlock code, either through your operator or online. Ebay is your friend.

There is not way to find in some hidden files or in some text inside the Huawei? It has to be somewhere, I get unlocked my samsun galaxy mini on this way, so I only want to know in what folder and file find the code
There is a official rom that unclocks the phone but it is only for U8800 NON PRO
The only way to unlock U8800 pro is with a ulock code, I guess..
If you flash the official gingerbread it somehow unlocks it for the u8800-51

Yes, I got it, I installed b572 and it is unlocked, I made this since months, I can call and this and the phone is asking me the pin but is working, but when I upgrade to official ICS it is locked again and when I put my PIN it doesn´t connect, how can I fix that and to be all time unlocked?
It will only be unlocked while you are using b572. You can flash a custom rom over it and it is still going to be unclocked. But when you flash an update, when you change that b572 to another, it will lock again

I have downloaded two ROMs for my E610 (Spain):
Code:
379 ESP/SPAIN 20F LGE610 361.75 MiB 208
378 VDS/VODAFONE(SPAIN) 20E LGE610V 377.81 MiB 159
but none of them is operator free (unlocked): after SIM code, network is still unreachable. So my LG L5 keeps locked for the spanish operator MoviStar (also known as Telefonica).
How could I know which one of those ROMs is operator unlocked?
Thanks you.
I have romanian official rom. I had rom from vodafone and i flashed rom from different operator. It left my phone unlocked
There was some rom international which u can use to loose sim lock

There is a paid service i usually use : unlockphonenetwork.com copy/paste it in your browser
The price is about $6-7 to unlock an LG phone.
Change rom to not branded one, this should do the trick. I have E610 from Orange PL and after flashing v20 rom without brand I get rid of simlock.

Thanks, I had a lot of work but it works!
It's coded in a partition which includes imei. When I lost my imei during a bad kdz flash my phone unlocked itself. So the only possibility for the time being is to unlock at your local shop or order a code.

Hi! I just bought a new phone for my wife and I'm confused how to get this phone network unlocked because she got it through a contract.
I installed Slimkat ROM and it's working very very fast for this a bit slow phone, but I can't get it to work on my network (different one than my wife's).
I would like someone to help me network unlock it - FREE if possible. I don't like paying to unlock a phone because I unlocked all my phones by myself & help from this XDA!
Thanks in advance!
Hi, so basically I flashed a Jelly Bean ROM (4.3) over my KitKat ROM (4.4.2) and have since
permanently lost my signal. I've tried flashing a multitude of Modems and ROMs, yet I'm still unable to
obtain signal. My device shows emergency signal bars but that's it. When I go to assign my carrier, it comes up with some of
the major carriers here in the UK (including 3, which is my carrier) but my phone always fails to connect
and register on the network. I'm faced with the same problem when I select 'Select Automatically.'
I've been told that my problem lies with a corrupt EFS folder, but my IMEI still shows as it should (The same one on
the back of my phone.) I've tried using a different sim card but still the problem persists. When I booted up with a
different 3 sim one time, for a split second my carrier on the lock screen had changed from
'Emergency Calls Only' to '3', but changed back to the former immediately after. I'm yet to try and use a sim from a
different carrier. Any suggestions?
You cant downgrade android 4.4.2 to android 4.3 coz they use different bootloaders. You will have to flash again android 4.4.2 for recover the signal and solve ur problems :highfive:
Reflash kitkat 4.4.2 as u can not downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3.
Maybe the IMEI Certificate is damaged, and need repair, try *#0011#, if at the end of the list you see IMEI CERTI: FAIL then you have to take your device for repair, if show PASS then try the latest modem

I've tried flashing 4.4.2 ROMs through recovery but no progress. I've tried flashing the
official 4.4.2 ROM through Odin but still it doesn't work. Also, in Service Mode,
IMEI Certi shows as NA :/ does that mean I'd have to get it repaired?
Yep, take the phone to a repair shop, is the only way out, i say because i fix that a lot on my shop

well on my repair shop, the cost to the client is 50$ for EFS v1 and 60$ for EFS v2, and now you have EFS v2, the cost in different country is not the same as you know, so ask for the repair prices

I "killed my phone for more than 4 hours a couple of nights ago. Long story short I was trying to do the same thing, "downgrade fro kitkat for personal reasons. The phone wouldn't boot up, and couldn't get it to go to download mode. Afternseveral tries it finally got into doenload mode and I was able to reflash with original/official kitkat, and it works just fine, the onky thing is that I keep seeing that imei certi : na status on the service mode screen and can't navigate to other screens within service mode. Im trying to sim unlock it using that method. I'm not sure that I did anything special, just try to reflash again with official kitkat and hopefully it will stick...
Wen i dial *#06# my imei is fine but Wen i dail *#0011* i also get imei /na my phone doesn't have any signal also I don't know what caused the problem cause i got the phone second hand also on 4.4 2 stock, could this be the problem y I can't get any signal at all? I also tried flashing custom roms and stock kk ROM but still no signal help please
I'll be quick so no ones time is wasted and a viable solution can be found fast.
I bought a D802 from a third-party, with:
- 32GB ROM
- 4.4.2 D80220b firmware
- 2G, 3G, 4G working
- The csmg.lgmobile.com website said that according to my IMEI, my model is the UAE 32GB D802 and gave me the D80230a firmware for manual flash via LG Flash tool. (screenshot below)
I used the phone for a while, rooted it and used Xposed. Never got recovery so no backup(wish I'd seen the SRK tool before). Then I downloaded the firmware from the csmg.lgmobile.com website. I flashed it via the Flash tool and everything seemed fine. Then it booted:
- Touchscreen was erratic. Ghost touches, dead spots, phantom touches, whatever.
- The Baseband Version and IMEI in About Phone both say Unknown
- ROM has converted to a 16GB version
- Download mode is fine along with every other feature of the phone
After that I looked around and found a UAE D80220c firmware and flashed that. It flashed fine but all the above issues remained the same.
I browsed around extensively here and found out:
- Refurbished phones have their back cover and firmware changed to imitate D802's.
- My phone is probably some other G2 model with D802 firmware and an altered IMEI
- The actual model of my device is UNDER the motherboard. Which, apparently, I must get hold of so I can flash the appropriate stock kdz. This gets a bit too hardware-y for me.
So, basically, my phone is no more useful than a brick at the moment. Any expert help would be appreciated but here are the main questions that I'd really like answered:
A. Should I try various flashing the kdz files from different models mentioned in the link I gave up ^there until one clicks and then try to do something about the IMEI?
B. Is there any chance that my phone is beyond repair forever?
C. Should I stop messing around with my mediocre knowledge and take it to a repair shop?
I really can't afford to lose this phone so please, if you've stumbled upon this, try to help or forward it to someone who CAN help. I will be very thankful.
Cannot really help you. But look for Frankenphone. There's a thread here.
I would return the phone. That's fraud.
Go by this method.

B. I doubt it's beyond repair, it will just take you time and work to figure out what is what and how to get it back to working state. I think everything you need can be found already here, I saw a lot of posts with the similar problems and really hard bricks being solved. Just be patient and good luck.

You have to confirm your mobile actual model. By opening it back cover.
Are you sure that 4G/LTE is working before Mobile going in this state?

Possible refurbished G2 D802
Guys i bought an LG G2 D802 from a third party. i tried to install TWRP using AUTOREC for D802. My phone went into a bootloop. Luckily i had made a backup with SRK tool, so my G2 is up and running. I think my phone is refurbished because i have seen other G2's with D802 backcovers in that market but their IMEI no. was D800. My IMEI no. , backcover and software all say D802. I Dont want to open up my phone because it is confusing for me because i know there will be 2 to 3 model no.s written inside it. My question is can i find out my model no. by installing all autorec recoveries for g2 on my phone after making backup on SRK Tool. When i get the TWRP recovery on my phone i will know which model my phone is. Plz people who are expert of SRK tool help me...
Also will my Imei no. stay safe if i backup from srk tool.
