OK, maybe not explained well and I had read this post that you "suggest" ... I'm from Colombia and I bought the phone on ebay, I contacted Sprint, and the answer was that they would not give me the lock code because the phone is not on an active account since the phone is new, then I kept looking on xda and found how to get the MSL.
Now, I got the MSL, but my question is how I program or configure the phone to open the bands ... or unlock it, I don't know how and Sprint don't answer me, and in the post that you "suggest" no information... by the way, thanks for the sarcasm ...
and sorry my english ...

No, I need to activate the smartphone on Claro Colombia South America...
2 things.
1. This is developments not Q&A, there is a place for this.
2. Isn't there an international version of the LG G2?

While I appreciate the effort, I don't think this unlocks the Sprint LS 980, but just opens up new LTE bands, what we were(or at least I was) is a way to use a local SIM card internationally without having to contact sprint, which I've tried and they won't comply. From what I understand, sprint sends an OTA update to the phone enabling the international local SIM usage, meaning that the phone does it naturally, just sprint blocks something on it.
But many thanks either way
Gotcha. Sorry about that. Good luck with it.

No problem buddy, I am wondering if making an official thread about unlocking the LS980, to gather all the info we can come up with, and maybe then we can find a solution.
This won't help anything... Just a placebo effect.. Spark LTE is not available so this atm is pointless.
Sent from my LG-LS980 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The unlocking the band thing yes since it's got nothing to do with unlocking it, but the original thread is about unlocking the sprint variant LS980, so best if you specify what the placebo effect is about.

Just a question, were you reffering to the spark LTE or the unlocking this? Because I'm not sure how they relate.
Today sprint released a ZV8 firmware update for the ls980, but still is locked for other networks.
Dammit! I've ordered few LG G2 Sprint, for use with GSM services overseas, but now I see that I'm in trouble cause of that Sprint's lock!!
Is there any solution???

Why is this so hidden in the forums? It's an incredibly useful piece of information! I haven't got to test it yet but I'm going to indonesia in a few days and will have the opportunity to try out a gsm network there. Thanks much!

I'm pretty sure this isn't going to help you on GSM.
It's for Sprint's new CDMA LTE bands I do believe.

It's all you. You will have to download an evdo prl to flash on the phone. Then you will have to set mi p and ppp um/am configurations in qpst. I am not sure what your carriers settings are but you'll have to find them on your own. It's not easy and requires alot of research and patience.

You would have to first start with flashing a prl, then getting US Cellular to accept the esn. Once that's done, you will have to request from someone that has a US Cellular phone to pull the values of MIP and PPP as well as users. Then it's a matter of replacing your number with there's and plugging the values back into qpst and writing to the phone. Essentially, you will be using a "Flashed" phone on their network.
I have got Sprint S4 and it is stuck on Hands free Activation. I don't have Sprint coverage here so how can I be able to activate this phone? I plan to unlock it and use it with another carrier.
Thanks.
In a another country, yes
In this country, no
If u don't have Sprint coverage there, go to somewhere you get coverage to activate it or call sprint they might give you an airrave

Thanks for the hint. Tried it by renaming activation.apk to activation.apk.bak but the "Hands free activation" still pops up on every boot. I don't get any signal even after unlocking.
to get signal you will need to program the phone.. and for that you can use DFS to input your CDMA network information manually...

The spec sheet for the Verizon G2 say that it's capable of both world GSM and CDMA, but someone said that it wouldn't work on any other network. Can someone confirm this? I really want the Verizon one because of wireless charging and lack of tabs in settings menu, but it's no good if it won't work.

I think it is GSM unlocked but for outside of the US only. And BTW the tabbed settings layout is configurable on all versions.

I might be getting the VZW version because I live outside of the US too and my carrier works on 3G 900Mhz and (correct me anyone if I'm mistaken) the AT&T version does not support that band.

Verizon works in the US and is SIM unlocked. Using metro and T-Mobile Sims now as I test out their networks......
Edit: let me also point out you have to add the apn if you want data. You don't have to call Verizon or anything. Just plug in the SIM card of your choice add the apn and you are good to go. This has been done on all verizon LTE phones with SIM cards as long as the phone supports the bands of the network you are trying to use.

Drivers weren't the issue. It just took a while because people didn't realize you had to select "Ethernet" as your USB connection mode. Takes a single tap and you can use the driver that comes on the phone.

Just check the sim card. A USIM means the Sim card does the LTE authentication while the device does the CDMA authentication. A CSIM means that both LTE and CDMA Authentication comes from the sim card and you can hot swap devices by using the sim card just like the Iphone 5s/5c which uses CSIM.

USIM .. like most current Sprint devices. So most of the provisioning is still done in the EFS.. unlike the 5s which relies entirely on the sim card.

Sounds like maybe LTE 2600 (B41) hand off issues between the different LTE bands that is causing the delay. What does this phone being an exclusive triband have to do with it? Obviously the demo units are already available so the phone must be done. I doubt it is due to production issues since LG shouldn't need to make as many phones at launch like Verizon or ATT do. Doesn't sound like it makes any sense to me. Oct 25th would have already been pushing it.

That seems to be my guess that Sprint is waiting on the LTE 2600 network to be built out a bit more before launch. But it also could be that Sprint can be having LTE 2600 TD-LTE to LTE 1900 FDD LTE hand off issues that is causing the delay.

I did a few nights of googling (much more elusive than your typical google) and I felt confident enough to use qpst. Tomorrow I'm going to stop by a WIND booth and see if their SIM works in my phone.
My first attempt left me with no service at all, which was a bit alarming, but then my second attempt brought back my service. So apparently I did SOMETHING to the radio lol
I'll update tomorrow when I find out if it worked or not. If it worked, I'll post something telling you what I did.
Sorry for the late reply, I just followed a thread on using qpst to change the radio band values and it enabled support for wind
I'll grab the qcn file off the phone.

Yeah, whatever I did didn't work
I basically went into utms service in qpst and selected all the bands (any BC). The first time I unchecked exclusive access and I got no service, then I rechecked it and it worked again. However I got an error on the write each time....
Edit: and I brought it into Wind and it wasn't working.
The G2 is my sisters phone so as soon as I get a hold of it I'll upload the qcn file.
