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?
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:
http://www.kijiji.ca/v-cell-phone/c...-enable-modify-for-wind-mobilicity/1073319239

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?

Any of the aosp based roms like cm are garbage on the g2. Why give up performance, stability, battery life, and your camera for a few extra settings and a bad skin?
While some of the stock based custom roms are ok, they are mainly for the gsm version so rooted stock for the sprint version is best imo. You should tot back to zve using THIS GUIDE, ota update to zvg, root with ONECLICK ROOT, and SIM UNLOCK so you can use it abroad. Don't update past zvg to zvh or zvi because you might lose sim unlock which zvh and zvi can't be rooted yet. Check out the g2 sprint developement section HERE.
Fyi, it's 'dire straits'.

Hello fellas, I have the LG V20 AT&T phone and I want to be able to use the sim of any network carrier of my choosing and I’ve been told that it's next to impossible to unlock AT&T phones unless you have the stock locked Rom and if I will flash unlocked Rom the phone will be sim free. Would that be correct If that is correct, my question is: Does anyone have unlocked Rom from this phone? At this moment when I insert different carrier sim the phone ask for 8 digit sim network unlock put code. any guide for it or someone with the knowledge to do it or someone pointing towards the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

From my understanding, and at least on Tmobile, you have to ask the carrier for the sim unlock code. Your phone has to be paid off if you bought the phone through the carrier. This is independent of the rom used. Check this out: https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/#/

Since you are being prompted for a actual unlock code.you do infact have at&t and NOT t mobile device with their garbage unlock app and process.simply look for a unlock code for a "lg v20 h910" or "lg v20 at&t unlock "on ebay.all the other cell unlock sites are a rip off. Codes are pretty cheap like 2 bux or so.now if you had a t mobile device you would have had to jump through a lot of hoops to get it unlocked.luckily you dont.

it should ask for code automatically after rebooting with different carrier sim, if not - then you should use network unlock app for connecting to server and entering code
what is the difference between lg v20 sim unlock code and network unlock code? as I understand sim unlock code is 4 digit and network unlock code is 8 digit, correct?

is it possible to unlock lg v20 sprint phone with "BAD ESN" ?
Unlock code lg v20
Can you please share the site. I am trying to unlock my LG V20 and need help please.
Thanks
Any lg simunlock.com will be deleted as spam
To unlock an LG V20 (lgv20) on AT&T (att) without another network sim:
Dial *#06# on your device to find your IMEI
Get your unlock pin from att.com/deviceunlock
Dial or paste: 2945#*910#
A menu will popup. Choose network lock. Enter the unlock code AT&T gave you.
The phone will restart and be unlocked.
So I got to the unlock screen by entering:
2945#*910#
The 910 is the model number. My phone's Settings > System > About > Hardware Info lists my phone as an LG-H910
So if you're on another network, chances are you could use your model number to get through.
Hi, want to buy a used LG v20 but i want to make sure it will be able to root it and custum it....
for now i buy a lgv20 only 50$ on ebay but it's locked and with US cellular... so i cant do nothing with it.... so i think i should buy another one... but wich one... this is the question...
i would like to have the root function, the FM function activated... the multi user activated... for now nothing of that is possible with the lgv 20 US cellular
thx
Someone posted on this forum recently that you CAN get OFFICIAL bootloader unlock from LG on US Cellular. Try it!
I have the same question. Is there a preferred model for the V20? I was thinking of getting an unlocked US996 model, primarily for audio/video use with no sim. I would, however, like it to work with AT&T as a backup to my iPhone. I know it uses the same nano-sim format. Of course I would like to root, etc as safely as possible. I haven't bought it yet, so advise is very welcome and appreciated.
I understand the US996 can get official bootloader unlock directly from LG.

The unlocked US996 is by far the easiest to root and will work on AT&T, but you won't get VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling if those matter to you. Only the AT&T-branded H910 will have those working.

Thank you for responding!!!
Rooting is more important for me as I don't plan on using it as my primary phone anyway. Sound like US996 is the way to go if you like to play with custom ROMs, etc.
