I have an LG G2 and want to give it as a present to someone on MetroPCS. Is it possible to flash it or configure it to work on MetroPCS network?
I couldn't find an answer anywhere on google so I came here.
Thank you so much!
Please help..

Im about to do the same thing, ill let you know how it goes..
MetroPCS is under T-Mobile's network so it should work. I'm using a verizon Lg G2 on T-Mobile and it works fine. You just have to root it and load a custom rom like CM or anything like it. The stock rom of the verizon G2 won't recognize a T-Mobile sim card so that's why you have to load a custom rom.
Just wondering if you were able to make it work? because I got a Verizon G2 with Cloudy G3 ROM and it wont work on Metro.
Try choosing the T-Mobile variant. That's what I did to get simple mobile Sim card to work, but do not do it if your scared it's going brick your phone. I don't have the vs980 I have the ls980 and it worked.

I was wondering if someone can layout the steps needed in order to get t mobile service to work on a verizon g2. I currently am at android 4.4.2 (24a update) with CWM custom recovery installed. I have a Tmob sim and lookin to use my vs980 with tmobile preferablly on kit kat as well.
thanks for the help
Just put T-Mobile Sim in and enter in proper apns and if you're lucky even LTE will work it works well my g2 is a backup for my nexus 5 wanted a just as powerful backup and Verizon variants are cheaper online I'm on 24a as well PS if you reflash stock ROM you will have to reenter apns an aosp ROM will automaticly detect you carrier and enter appropriate APN settings

I am on Malladus 2.0.2. can you please be more specific on what to do in a step by step starting from switching vzw sim to tmobile sim.
i went to apn settings witht the tmobile sim and added a new apn and got the settings from the tmobile website but had no luck...... by the way voice works fine
You switch the sim card like its any old gsm phone what do youean you mean you didn't have any luck could you not get data/MMS to work or did have no signal at all

Sorry to reply to such an old thread but my Verizon G2 is coming in the mail and I am looking to activate on T-Mobile. From my understanding each Cloudy rom (CloudyG3, CloudyStock etc), T-Mobile stock roms, and ParanoidAndroid seem to work (data and all) as long as the APN settings are configured correctly. I however would love to try other roms (spirit rom and lollipop when they eventually come out). Will these roms work with the APN settings correctly configured?
It should work fine haha this is a really old thread I don't even have a g2 anymore

I got a really good deal on a new LG G2 D801 (Claro) and wanted to ask if it will work on T-Mobile's network. Any help would be great!

I have an LG G2 D800 with the Cloudy G2 3.3 ROM.
I live in argentina and I use CLARO as my service provider, like all my family.
My father has an Moto G 4G, my mother an Moto E and my little brother a Nexus 4, none of them has any connectivity problems except of me.
The ROM is not the problem because I have already tried the stock one and I don't get connection either.
The APN is set correctly, anyone has an idea about what to do? I really need internet when I'm not at home.
Any help appreciated.

Try flashing another modem. Make sure the modem is meant the android version you are currently on.

I'm on LP, and flashed the only modem for LP, downloaded from blastgator's page.
I don't know what else to try. The thing is that it has worked, It's not a network compatibility problem..

You mean flash KK, JB modems?
Wondering if any one can suggest a custom rom that will work with a LG G2 Sprint ls980 on Boost mobile? I am rooted on the ZVI update and think Autorec will work but don't see the point unless I can flash a rom for this phone that won't screw it up and put it on Sprint's info or bootloop/brick etc.. I haven't seen much of any one mentioning roms for a LG G2 Sprint ls980 on Boost mobile.
if theres is any it will be listed.. click on my signature where it says here it has all roms there plus many helpful guides..
All ROM for Sprint works for Boost Mobile too.

Yeah, but does it mess with the network settings (since the ROM is for Sprint)? I've read somewhere that it did but can't find it now.

As far as I know, you can't provision your MSL after installed any 3rd party ROM such as CM12. Instead, you can provision your device with the stock ROM and then install the 3rd party ROM. You don't need to set up anything again.

So..since I've already had the phone switch to boost from sprint via the boost rep and have been running stock...loading a new ROM should keep my network settings etc the same?
