Hi
I bought an unlocked at&t LG G2 D800 seeing it has LTE 1700/2100, so i thought it will work on my WIND network in canada. But it does not. Now trying to sell the phone, I found someone on kijiji who says he can modify it to work with WIND/MOBILICITY etc.
Below is the link:

Is this even possible? Should I try it? Im fearing he will take original parts and replace them with fake chinese and say he was not successful in modifying.
Thanks!
anybody?

Did you ever figure out which variant will work in India? I've read that the Verizon one isn't sim locked, but do the GSM frequencies you need match?

Yes,i checked with Wikipedia Verizon - VS980 model matches with international edition with 2G and 3G network and it does not support for LTE(it does not a problem for me).
is it any problem to buy that mobile in USA?
Hello there,
I've recently bought a D801, the T-mobile US G2, and i am moving to Germany. I know there is a T mobile Network there, but I don't think they use the same LTE bands. My question was if by developement we could use the modem files from the international version D802 to get LTE in Germany with the D801 since the S800 should support worldwide LTE, no?
Thanks! that would be awesome!
Hi there,
I am wondering if I can change the basebands/modem from my D801 T mobile G2 to work with the international D802 basebands since I am moving to germany. Can we just flash a new modem to get different LTE bands since it's a S800, as qualcomm said the first world LTE processor?
thanks a lot

Not that i'm aware of. Check the tmo bands and see if they are compatible with the common german carriers. Otherwise I would just sell your G2 on swappa and purchase another.
that is what i will end up doing if necessary, can someone confirm this is not possible at all? thanks!

It's not possible to change the bands a phone operates under. Here are the bands the different versions use (taken from Wikipedia) so you can check if the 801 will work with whichever carrier you're planing on going with.
AT&T - D800
GSM 850/900/1800/1900UMTS 850/1900/2100LTE 1900(2)/1700(4)/850(5)/700(17)
Sprint - LS980

Hi everone,
I'm now studying in Korea, i bring a phone from my hometown to Korea. It's a F320L phone, and it's locked with the LG U+ SIM card. However, most of my friends here are using the SKT telecom, which suit for F320S phone. And practically i bought a SKT prepaid SIM. So, i'm trying to make my F320L work with this SIM.
I flash it back to 4.2.2, rooted, and tried to flash F320S baseband to it. It doesn't work.
So i'm trying to flash an F320S stock ROM on my F320L. But the KDZ tool stuck in 2%, may be because the stock rom does not fit with the phone. I also tried with Flash tool in THIS TOPIC, and still not succeed.
May be someone can help me? I'm still a student, and i don't have much money to spend for a new mobile.
me too
I'm interested in this too... Did you get any success here?
I'm trying to get my f320l working with UK LTE bands but seems f320s supports this whereas f320l does not, even though I understand the hardwear is the same.

You can't gsm unlock it as it is not a gsm phone. It is CDMA.
I don't use Sprint, but with Verizon CDMA most the time you can use it with other CDMA carriers, besides the Verizon G2 (VS980) it has a sim card slot for LTE on their network and it is factory unlocked, just put in a compatible sim card and you should at least have voice and SMS working.

Oh sorry apparently the LG ls980 does have a sim card and there is some people working on unlocking it and some claim to have done it, goto here I'm not saying this works, but it looks promising , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2655133
