huh? i need to unlock to use my att sim.
Good luck and post back if you find someone who can help you. I have called T-Mo three times now and they do not even have the codes available to them yet for the G2. I was told it could be 2-4 weeks before they are available directly from T-Mo.

I just bought one in ebay and the seller will get the unlock **** for me
more discussion about G2 unlocking here:

A senior moderator on XDA should merge "HTC Vision"/ "HTC Desire Z" and "Tmobile G2" into 1 category. What makes it more confusing is that originally the G2 is referred to the HTC hero.... lol

I got my code from T-mo. If the service rep tells you that the G2 is not in the system yet, suggest that he make the request with another phone (ex. G1) and write in the notes field that the phone is a G2. HTC is the one that actually processes the request. I received my code in about 24 hours (on a weekend, no less).

I have been unlocking all of my phones from T-Mobile directly for the past few years. I personally have never had any issues, and I travel overseas quite frequently.
Although I've read some horror stories on here, I'm just glad I haven't had to experience anything of the sort!

If you root it you can turn off the sim-lock, in other words, unlock your phone no need for an unlock code.

I used this guys method:
hxxp://g2hacks.com/g2-hacks/how-to-root-g2-phone/
The Wiki instructions and his instructions are similar to begin, but stray from the Wiki once gfree is mentioned.
I'm rooted, but not unlocked, which I need to be. Can I install gfree for unlock? Would there be any conflicts?
Cheers,
Danny
Edit: Sure enough there was instructions a bit farther down the Wiki page that walked me right through. I'm unlocked and blazing around the interwebz at EDGE speeds with AT&T.

We got this G2 through an upgrade with T-mobile. I called T-mobile to get the unlock code 1/23, so I could use this phone with my AT&T plan, and have yet to receive it. ( Not that I need it now anyway )
It recognized my AT&T sim, and my cell service was instant. The data was hesitant to work so I had to manually enter the APN info via settings. Other than that it worked as advertised.
I am going to buy a new S4 for AT&T today, will it come with MF3? And is there a way to tell without powering it on as I'm not sure the store will allow?
The outside of the box shows the firmware that's on the phone. Just get one that's in the box and tell them to look for one which had mdb or mdl firmware.
Then read all the stickies in the general and q&a forums before you do anything to the phone. Make sure you know how to disable the mf3 upgrade the phone is going to put on all by itself before you put the sim in and activate the phone. Tell them at the store you'll activate it later.

Second this , This is exactly what I did myself when I got mine . Although she did power it up in the store but she didnt run a software update on it . I quickly got out of there after setting the phone up and got to my truck and pulled the battery so now OTA would try to get through till I got home . I had already downloaded the software for rooting so the computer was basically waiting for it . Rooted it and havent looked back since . Bare in mind though in my situation they only had a black 32GB S4 in stock with the MDL software . I was lucky though she discounted the price for me LOL

Like they say look on the box.
I've been getting my phones from Costco because it's much cheaper over there.
My first galaxy s4 was MDL but I accidentally OTA to MF3, so about 3 weeks later I went back and exchanged it out for another galaxy s4. My excuse was the WiFi had some kind of issue and they kindly exchanged my S4 without any questions.
It costed $149.99 at Costco (tax $170.49) but when I exchanged it, because it was within 30 days I got $20 back, the price dropped to $139.99 (tax $150.49).
Plus Costco has a 90 day money back guarantee so if you have any problems then you can just return it.
Anyway, just look on the box and it should tell you what software version is on the phone.

This is the model AT&T will be carrying starting April 10th. Seems like a watered down version of the ME572C plus LTE connectivity:
Press release
Too noob to post links... sorry!
K00X?
Well that's strange... I picked one of these up today from AT&T and the model listed on the box and back of the device is K00X.
Now I don't know what to think. When I do a search for that I only get results for Asus Fonepad 7. But the box is clearly labeled Memo Pad 7 and the device does not appear to be equipped to make calls.
Now I'm trying to remember where I saw the "ME375CL" designation. I know if you search for this on Asus' website the correct specs for the device are shown, whereas K00X doesn't return anything.
Kingo Root did not root.
Towelroot failed to make it ra1n.
RootZenFone reported "This is for ZenFone only".
Dose anyone no how to root it?

Right, that's how I got mine... I already have a Nexus 7, but figured for 99c (well, plus $10 a month for LTE), why not. Have 14 days to return if also. Not sure if I really need another tablet, but I guess I will need to decide pretty quick though lol.

Same here. Picked mine up yesterday for $0.99 as it seemed like a good deal. But definitely don't want kitkat on it. Any news as to whether this has been rooted for Lollipop or Marshmallow?
Thanks.

To date, no root, no lollipop or marshmallow, at least that I've found. Issue seems to be that even though it's a memo pad 7 its an ATT-specific variant that's different enough that the standard rooting tools for the Asus memo pad do not work.
On the plus side, as already mentioned since att is basically giving these away they'll be more out there so possibly some development may occur soon.
Realistically, I'm leaning toward taking mine back - sure it was only $0.99 but I've already got a nexus 7 and do I want to pay ten bucks extra a month for this ( for the additional LTE device) when I really don't need it. All things things considered it's a pretty neat little budget level tablet and if I didn't already have the N7 I'd probably be keeping it for sure... on the fence right now though...

EDIT - I will say this, the MP7 smokes my Nexus7 in regards to battery life.
Fiddled around with some rooting tools for the Memo Pad and Fone Pad, ie mainly the temp tethered recovery solution just trying to flash the SuperSU zip... everything seems to work except the custom recovery never launches, probably due to there not really being a recovery out there for this model. I tried various memopad/fonepad versions of twrp and cwm but nothing seemed to work. .
I've got until Thursday to return it - my luck someone will figure out how to root it Friday lol. But, I don't want to be paying $180 over the next 18 months for a tablet sitting in my desk drawer either.
Well my two weeks ended today, so I took it back... no point in paying $180 over the next year and half for something I would rarely use, it at all.

Anyone know where to get a stock ROM for this thing? I've got some kind of corruption issue that doesn't seem to be resolved with a factory reset, I think, and I would like to get the built in recover to reload the OS from the MicroSD card if possible. Asus wants me to sent it back in to them but I'd rather fix it myself. Any pointers to a copy of a recent stock ROM?
Thanks!
I got the same tablet (ASUS K00X) from AT&T and tried all the rooting solutions for the Memo Pad 7 i could find, but nothing worked. I guess we'll have to wait a little longer before getting this tablet rooted.
I don't even care about rooting it. Stock ROM is all I need..

I actually submitted an online unlock request to AT&T (after their system was messed up for 3 days) and they sent me the code for free within 2 business days. I was really surprised, I thought it wouldn't be eligible for unlock since it was an un-used Go-Phone device. I guess they were feeling generous. Works great on T-mobile, although the process of getting the free 200mb of monthly tablet data was a chore. Have yet to use it, I don't really need it for anything (tab automatically connects to my phone hotspot), just figured it was cool to have for free.
any how to on installing Xposed on a KK OS of this tablet?

Sucks, I did the same today and I got this: "We're unable to process your request because the device is currently active on another AT&T customer's account."
But in fact, this was a prepaid tablet and not tied to any accounts...
Anyhow, I don't have an AT&T SIM and it won't even let me update. Is there a ROM that I can sideload to upgrade to Lollipop? I'm still on the initial KK build, has quite a bit of crashes.
I have H873 and still have some days to exchange the phone, and wondering if there will ever be a root option for this phone. I just like to have the ability to change my emojis to a none android one and some other tweaks. I know the phone came out a couple months ago, but should I just switch to another device that can be rooted or stick around because there will most likely be a root sometime this year?
No, exchange it

It just depends.like today or yesterday lg allowed the us997 model to be bootloader unlocked.thats your first step i wouldnt trade it just yet.thats just my opinion
I would love to keep the phone, I like how it feels and looks and the features, just not used to being locked down and not being able to customize. I mean it's sounds like there could be a possibility that it could happen in the future. I might stay with it and suck it up. Other thing is why did they come out with so many versions, wish Canada could have gotten the same as the US, cuz Canada usually gets forgotten when it comes to this stuff XD.
You should have got the LG H870 single SIM which is an international version so that you car root it as well as unlock bootloader! Don't know when will unlock bootloader happen for the H873 as well as dual sim versions! This also might be the reason that the LG H870 might cost a little more than the dual sim LG H870DS.
I bet if a bunch of us tweet them @lgdeveloper then they might push it out

Yeah I have made some commotion, but more people need to do the same.
You want root, pretty much Google phones is where its still easy these days like the Pixel. I just switched from Pixel to G6 and I am pretty happy.
I was rooted for months but the problem is Google is cracking down on it. Apps are being blocked from Playstore now such as Netflix. You can't use Android Pay (now available in Canada). In all honesty even custom roms are no longer rooted, so rooting is going away for the most part as more and more things will block it.
If we go by LG G4 that boot-loader was never unlocked and only rootable on Android 5.x.
V20 was unlocked though so who knows, there could be a possibility but I would not count on it. There is a bounty thread in here so maybe just pledge some for our H873 (I think if they can unlock H870DS they can do ours too).
We had a huge petition maybe 10,000 people to unlock LG G4 bootloader, nothing ever heard from LG. I think the only way is the unofficial methods.

Take one for the team. Mine is not unlocked and still owed on. So if I screw mine up there is no warranty. I had success with OneClick in the past on my LG G2 when i couldnt get any other way to work. It could be that one click assumes it can be rooted by seeing that its an LG. Might not know its actually a V35 or an older LG.

Yeah I read 2 horror stories of people being scammed by them. Guaranteed root, failed. Didn't get money back. Found the company is based in some country that they knew after two talks with reps theyd never see their money again. I'll pass.
On a good note, I hear that we may at least get Android P before 2019.

The pre-July Oreo bootloader exploit we use for V30/V30+/V30S can't be used on V35. LG/Google patched it in July 2018. No pre-July Oreo KDZ for LG V35.
Not enough people own this niche phone for devs to care. V35 doesn't even have a real forum.
There's two reasons.
Whereas every V30/V30+/V30S on the planet can be bootloader unlocked and rooted.

Right. Those are threads posted in OTHER XDA forums and tagged as V35. If you reply, they are posted to those other forums.
If you start a new V35 thread, you have to start it in another forum and tag it as v35.
The EMPTY V30S forum should be given to V35. Because V30S is just another JOAN V30 variant, which uses same TWRP, custom ROMs all other V30. Very strange it somehow (wrongly) was given a separate forum. All the V30S owners use the regular V30 forum, because it's V30!

Well that just sucks. I didn't look carefully. How ridiculous that there is still no dedicated forum. We are the bastard child between the V30 series and the V40. LG really dropped the ball on this one. I still really love the phone. Battery, camera, and general smoothness of operation, but I really want an option once they stop supporting this device (which I bet is going to be before the V30 series). I'm surprised that Google sold me this phone knowing that updates are rare. It's still running this LG version of 8.0.0 Not even 8.1, and it's still on the Sept security patch. I wonder if I can talk Google/Fi into refunding me and getting me a Pixel. I just love vanilla android and have had only nexus phones since the nexus 1.
So I was in touch with a PFi rep. I was told flat out I would be able to unlock the bootloader. I need to follow up with LG

LG morons will tell you bootloader unlocking is not supported. This will be my first and last LG.
I'm sure. I had a great experience with my last LG...Nexus4. This phone I also like a lot, other than no bootloader unlock and some non stock Android things.

My problem is i just want sim unlock. My carrier wont do it for me. Im still under contract.. Thing is i have 2 carriers...2 plans. I use one for just calls and very light data..(Contract-Carrier) and the other sim i put instead when i want unlimited 4g hotspot im paying 80 bucks a month for. Or when im in a bad signal spot for one. And my carrier wont unlock the phone till its paid off. The store rep told me i would be able to swap the sims just fine.. that it comes unlocked.. whatever dude.... and im stuck with the 80 dollar plan as well. Someone told me that there are some legit not scam unlockers out there. But my google ends up empty. So is there any way to get it sim unlocked currently since my carrier wont help? I know on my G2-G4 's i just flashed new bootloader and roms and i could swap out sims just fine.. And when i needed warranty or store support i would flash back to stock. Is that what we have to do to the v35?
