CL is Claro, carrier in Puerto Rico and other Latin American countries. Same text string is in my Puerto Rico factory images. Although sold by Claro, it's factory not "retail". Carrier unlocked, no carrier bloatware. In Puerto Rico, it's sold only in Claro stores instead of being available on Motorola-Puerto Rico website like in Mexico.

The PR moto maxx is not carrier unlocked, those who received unlocked units were unlocked by seller prior to selling them.

Really? You bought one that was not unlocked? Just curious how you know.
If so, then my PR TWRP images are very valuable. Already unlocked, no bloatware, rooted. With and without permanent TWRP recovery.

Claropr is my service provider, got mine same day it came out. And a sim locked phone does not become sim unlocked by flashing a sim unlocked firmware. Just like you can flash a hundred firmwares and your device wont become sim locked once its been unlocked.

OK, thanks for clarifying. My last two phones were Nexus phones so I have no experience with SIM locked phones. I guess I assumed if your bootloader was unlocked and you were rooted, all was good. Just never had to think about it.
Before that I had CDMA phones that I knew were proprietary. I rooted one and installed new ROM but never tried to leave that prepaid, proprietary service. Even if I had, it would have to be another CDMA carrier, as there was no sim card slot in those phones.

Yes, people have used it.
You use TWRP to flash the image. It was made with TWRP, it'a a TWRP backup.
You can flash TWRP via ADB so it's only temporary until reboot, not permanent. You then go to the backup in (temporary) TWRP recovery, "restore" the backup. Reboot. TWRP is gone, but you are back to stock.

Somebody posted it in one of the Lollipop soak test threads. I grabbed it in case I ever needed it. Sorry, can't find who it was or I would give them credit.

Excellent, thank you for the link(I also clicked the thanks button). I have a Moto Maxx from PR on the way and I fully intend to root and play with the firmware. I will also try the Brazil Lollipop leaks. My first rule though is always have the original factory firmware to go back to.

I've also posted a few on my site as well. Ones I just downloaded for myself.
I have the 5.0.2 Indian package, 4.4.4 Brazilian package, 4.4.4 PR package and 2 of the LP Soaks for the Brazilian

Moto Maxx = Moto Turbo
FYI.
The Moto Turbo has the same FCC ID as the Moto Maxx. It's the same phone.

Of the bands the Moto Turbo has listed, I've confirmed the Moto Maxx has the same except possibly one 3G band. And I'm willing to bet it has that one too.
I KNOW the Maxx has LTE band 5. I proved it months ago. It was in the FCC tests also, just not listed in Motorola's specs.
I also know the Maxx has HSPA band 1700 also. Got confirmation yesterday, besides my QPST scan.
The only one I wasn't sure about is HSPA band 800.
But it's probably there also in the Moto Maxx.
And someone has already flashed the India Moto Turbo firmware over their Moto Maxx to turn it into a Moto Turbo, if you want to "officially" have all those bands -- instead of just knowing they are there.

Not All H815's Are Created Equal

For unlocking the bootloader straight from LG, you would need the "EU open market" variant which is BS because all H815 variants (USA, SE Asia) should be the same.

Don't know about thread but I am sure a dev can create a patch for you guys once we get root of course. Probably gonna need to sacrifice for testing unless a dev picks up your variant.

You don't get much attention because US Cellular is a MUCH smaller company than Verizon and AT&T.
If it makes you feel better, the Verizon and AT&T version also don't have published root yet

What's the command to back up the system to the internal storage? I wanna root the 10A
CC @Z3ldaFan88 @donbudafuko
EDIT:
All done!

Tis is now the [Discussion] US Cellular us991 thread:good:

Getting delivery of US991 tuesday. Curious whether to stay on Lollipop or upgrade to Marshmallow? Anyone get MM update? How is it?

FYI. I wanted to run MM but couldn't get the update. Called US cellular and they said they pulled the 20b update due to a lot of reports of boot loops. No eta on when they will begin to push it out again. Take it for what it's worth.

For Anyone Who Bought an Unlocked US991!
Just a heads up for anyone purchasing an unlocked US991, the firmwares are different than the US Cellular US991's. I bought one the other day from Best Buy (then returned), and it came on 10A with a kernel date of Sep 25, which is far later than the Jun 1 kernel date of 10C for branded US991s. As far as rooting goes, you'll have to manually inject root into your system image, outlined here in step 2. The 10A the unlocked version comes with is not the same as the US Cellular US991 10A firmware. There is no KDZ available for this device/firmware yet, so be very careful about rooting.
The unlocked US991 is fully compatible with US Cellular KDZs. So that leaves the option to flash the branded US991 10C via KDZ, then root using a prerooted system image. I would not recommend doing this because it will brand your phone to US Cellular, and probably will not allow OTAs because of the model mismatch. You will be stuck on 10C until there's a KDZ released for newer firmwares. I flashed my phone to US Cellular's 10C, and I obviously could not go back to my original firmware. I have another one on order, and I'll post a prerooted system image ASAP.

Thank you for the post, this was very helpful in understanding why I couldn't update my firmware from 10A, no matter what I tried. I even thought of ordering a US cellular SIM card at one point, in the hopes of getting my IMEI registered with US cellular to enable OTA updates. Now I'm getting a feeling that would be a futile attempt, as this US991 unlocked model isn't the same as the locked model. (i.e., no OTA update whatsoever with unlocked model)
A question I had was, when you flashed to 10C, I would have assumed that would allow you to get MM update. But I guess it didn't work? My guess was either OTA or LG mobile support tool would have recognized the 10C as the US cellular version, and just pushed through the MM update...

That's very interesting, I thought I was in the same boat. I have a US991 that I got off ebay which I assumed to be the same as the ones at Best Buy or B&H. Mine has the US99110C firmware, so maybe that means it is a US Cellular model? There's actually nothing on the phone that says US Cellular - no branding or bloatware. I've tried getting information from US Cellular and from LG, and the official word from LG is that they don't sell unlocked phones unless they are a Nexus, so that led me to believe that the ones retailers are selling are really US Cellular models (maybe overstock). It's also clear that the people at LG who answer customer questions don't know anything about the unlocked phones being sold.
Assuming that mine is a US Cellular phone, it should receive the update, which it hasn't. That could be due to the previous post that USC has pulled it due to issues, but when I've spoken to them, they didn't know anything about it. Is there a web source for information about the update on USC or a forum? There is a recurring theme with tech support - the people who answer are just there to solve simple user problems, not to troubleshoot real issues.
I've tried getting my phone connected via LG Bridge, but Bridge doesn't see that my phone is connected (it is). When I try the Mobile Support Tool, it sees the phone, but says it's up to date. I'd love to hear from anyone who actually gets one of these phones updated to Marshmallow. I also tried putting a USC sim card in the phone, to no avail.
Does anyone know if it's possible to put the H815 firmware on one of these phones? Those seem to be receiving lots of updates.

Really LG? No support?
I contacted LG US about the issue with US991 not connecting to LG Bridge. Here's the response I got:
Thank you for contacting LG Mobile Communications and for the additional details you have provided.
I have made note of the information with the currently open ticket so that this may also be looked into. I will check on this ticket as well personally and as soon as I get updates, I will send you an email immediately. For the meantime, you may opt to backup media files through direct USB connection (via MTP) or use Cloud Services that may also be downloaded from the Google PlayStore.
Once again, I’m sorry for any trouble this may have caused and thank you very much for your patience and understanding on this. We highly appreciate you contacting us with regard to this matter and we hope to address this issue at the soonest possible time.
I hope this information has been helpful in addressing your concern. Should you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us again via Email, Live Chat, or Phone by calling 800-793-8896. You will also see a short survey at the bottom of this email to rate your experience today which will help us know how we’re doing in providing our valued customers excellent service.
Thank you for choosing LG and have a wonderful day!

In other words, we don't care, get lost. This was more than 2 weeks ago.
So the way I see it we have two options in the US: the US991 which they do not provide updates for but (hopefully) has a US warranty or the H815 which they do not warranty but you can get updates for.
Is LG US trying to compete with Comcast for the worst support in the US?

I couldn't even OTA to 10D, which was my original intent of upgrading to 10C. However, the 10A we have is probably at 10D's patch level (build date of Sep 15), so I wouldn't worry about getting updates unless you're itching for Marshmallow. Given the experience I had with Marshmallow on the Moto X Pure I had for a week before getting my G4, I'm totally fine with Lollipop for the time being. In addition to Doze not really being effective (still had major Android OS and oddly Cell Standby drain), I had a lot of backwards compatibility issues because of the new permissions model. I also hate that they took out the option to disable interruptions until the next alarm after the release of MM. Some weird OTA Google thing removed the feature a while after 6.0 came out, and only 6.0.1 has it now.

H815 firmwares would definitely brick your phone, but you can flash USC KDZs with no problem. As far as you being on 10C, what's your kernel build date (shows in the *#*#244773825625#*#* secret menu)? My firmware is 10A, but I'm pretty sure it's at the same patch level as at least 10C, possibly 10D, since the kernel date is Sep 15, and 10C's was Jun 1.

I'm coming from a Nexus 5 which, of course, has all the updates. I had no trouble with MM. I can't say it made a huge positive difference either (my battery still dropped quickly but 2 years old), but for security reasons, I always want updates. I'm very skeptical about this phone getting the monthly updates that Google is pushing out, I'll consider that better next time I buy. Got duped by the stores calling this unlocked, though LG clearly doesn't want to support it themselves referring me to the carrier when I ask. I will keep pestering them to fix Bridge and hopefully provide the USC update.

That's too bad. I would expect LG to make the phones as similar as possible which is easier on the engineering and parts supply. I'm thinking this phone might be identical to the Sprint model, saw some posts about mix ups, not sure if it ever worked. At least on that one they get the radio.
Thanks for that tip about the hidden menu:

Android Marshmallow 6.0 20C for the US Cellular US991 is out now. This is an update from 10D.
You can install 20C on any US991 regardless of current version. 20C is specifically for US Cellular users... not the unlocked US991 users with the unbranded model on 10A. Though it would work on those devices.. the phone would have some things set to US Cellular rather than the unlocked version it is now.

Lucky you!
LG Bridge doesn't recognize my phone at all, and I've heard others say the same thing. We'd have a chance of getting the update if LG's software worked with their phones.
Can you grab the KDZ file from your upgrade? You'd make many people happy!
The US Cellular US991 is totally unlocked. I haven't seen anything on my phone that actually says US Cellular, but it does have the 10c version, which I understand is USC only. It works on all GSM networks, not sure about the CDMA folks who seem to lock out phones.

P.S. I still cannot get LG bridge to connect to the phone.

I have SM-G930P device flashed with G930T firmware. Is it possible?

I recently bought an used unlocked S7 from ebay.com (US).
At the back of the device, the model number displayed is SM-G930P. However in the About Device section, the model number shown as SM-G930T and the latest T-mobile firmware (G930TTMB4APK1) installed.
When I logged in to samsung account for the first time, the phone got automatically registered, I got a message from samsung confirming the model number as SM-G930PZKASPR (Sprint model). How can I check the actual model number of the phone myself without rooting the phone? How would the T-mobile firmware been flashed on a Sprint model?
It was used very briefly in US on ATT and the phone looked not to be blacklisted. And the ebay seller description showed the phone is unlocked for all US networks and overseas.
And I am currently in India and luckily this phone has LTE Band 3 supported on Vodafone India.
I am not sure if I will receive OTA or not. Anyone on the same boat?
If I dont receive OTA, should I flash the next firmware of T-mobile? or Should I flash the G930U t-mobile? or Should I flash the G930U sprint?
Please help me.

I have flashed T-mobile compatible G930U firmware (G930UUEU4API3_G930UOYM4API3_TMB) on my G930P. I did not face any issue while flashing. My phone remains unlocked. Enjoying it at the moment.

But still the puzzle remains, how to check the actual model number of the phone without root?

Are you on Sprint? if so, are you rooted and does calling, mms, taxting and data work?

Hey, you flashed 930U firmware on your 930P and it still unlocked?
I did the same but now it says "invalid sim" when I put in gsm sim

Probably it is originally factory unlocked by the sprint carrier. When i bought it had tmo firmware installed. Currently i have g930u (tmo compatible) firmware installed. I am using this phone overseas. I am not rooted.

OK I will give you guys me experience with android doctor . com
1. I hope kfsohn isn't the guy who works there b/c that would be really sad
2. its a 1-man operation. he uses different name for the "remote service" from the "live chat" but i know its the same guy from the way he talks
3. i paid for the service and spoke to "live chat"
4. downloaded and installed the softwares
5. connected through logmein
6. tells me server crashed, immediately ends session. i go back on "live chat" and he ends chat right away
7. i go back on in 1 hour through logmein
8. he does the whole process but i think he screwed up or his unlock isn't correct
9. phone is unlocked but can only get 3G.
10. i tested it out by putting in gsm sim from my brothers phone and used same apn settings. only 3G. put it back in his phone. he gets 4G/LTE.
11. do same thing with my other phones... still only 3G.
12. I connect back to logmein to tell him this. all he says is just let it calibrate.
13. 2 hour later. still 3G.
I don't know if he used the correct version or whatever but I am only getting 3G which is useless
Very unsatisfied with this service. The 1-man operation was incredibly rude and unhelpful. The way he talks is immature and lack of professionalism. No support whatsoever. This guy basically just paid for one of those unlock boxes sold by a unlock team which I will not name. It is around 200$.
I feel a bit inclined to just dispute the payment charge. I have never done that before. This is how unhappy I am with this service.
TLDR I do NOT recommend this service. Please look elsewhere so you do not make the same mistake as I did.

I recently bought an used unlocked S7 from ebay.com (US).
At the back of the device, the model number displayed is SM-G930P. However in the About Device section, the model number shown as SM-G930T and the latest T-mobile firmware (G930TTMB4APK1) installed.
When I logged in to samsung account for the first time, the phone got automatically registered, I got a message from samsung confirming the model number as SM-G930PZKASPR (Sprint model). How can I check the actual model number of the phone myself without rooting the phone? How would the T-mobile firmware been flashed on a Sprint model?
It was used very briefly in US on ATT and the phone looked not to be blacklisted. And the ebay seller description showed the phone is unlocked for all US networks and overseas.
And I am currently in India and luckily this phone has LTE Band 3 supported on Vodafone India.
I am not sure if I will receive OTA or not. Anyone on the same boat?
If I dont receive OTA, should I flash the next firmware of T-mobile? or Should I flash the G930U t-mobile? or Should I flash the G930U sprint?
Please help me.

The firmware for all the US carrier variants and the unlocked US variant are interchangeable, which is why it was possible to flash T firmware on a P variant.
As others have mentioned, for the most international support on the US variants and with the least amount of carrier bloat your best course is to flash the unlocked "U" firmware. As for which U "carrier" to flash, I don't think it matters. I would go with T-Mobile if I had to choose.

Thanks for the response. I flashed the U firmware of T-mobile and did not face any issues. Will also try other firmwares.
Primarily my device is G930P. Will there be any effect to 4G LTE band if I flash P or T or U firmware?

Dispute it. I can confirm, from the other end that they are not great people. My company used to sell unlock software to them, we no longer do so. It takes a fair bit of annoyance for me to turn down business.

In your situation, being outside the US, I don't think flashing P or T gains you anything.

Do you mean that, regardless of the firmware, there wont be any change to the original 4G LTE bands of the Sprint device?

From a hardware perspective, the device can only handle certain LTE bands. Often, the US carrier versions will block some of those possible bands. I would assume that the unlocked variant has the least amount of blocked bands.

Better option is to use the SamFirm app. It's still functional. Get it over at this post by @zxz0O0:

Flashing the U firmware actually unlocks additional LTE bands, and you can put the phone on diag mode and you can enable more LTE bands using CDMA Tool (I have not been able to enable using QPST) without the need to be rooted. I live in Belize and my carrier uses band 17 (primary LTE band) and band 2 for LTE, I have to manually enable band 17 on the the U firmware to get LTE working. For me it has worked fine.
Regarding the correct model your phone is, did you check the back of your device? It should have the model number engraved on the back. mines was originally model number SM-G930VL which is the Tracfone Wireless Variant.

LG G6 israeli unlock bootloader failed

Hey guys, i've got my lg g6 from Israeli so i tried to unlock bootloader on LG website, they said this phone bootloader cannot be unlocked.
You guys have this problem, you have managed to unlock g6 from Israeli?
BTW sorry for my bad english, if you guys hear something let me know
Thank you

As far as I know H870 and US997 are the only unlockable models.

It won't change anything, if the phone is not european you cannot unlock the bootloader.

So why the LG website, said 'this phone bootloader cannot be unlocked'
My assumption, if I will change my region to... UK or something else in Europe it will send me the unlock code.
Now let say I get the code, do u think I should go for it?
Can I brick the phone?

If you get the code it'll be alright, but if the site says that the bootloader cannot be unlocked after inserting device id and IMEI than it's not an European H870
