Im hoping this phone can work on wind mobile. i did some minor searches but i didnt see anything concrete on making this work.
Right now its on bell network. it was a friend and she was going to sell it since she got a new phone. Buuut im on wind. Its on android 6.0.
Status update.
can easily root with kingroot. but when i try to flash a recovery with flashify it gets an error "boot verification fail" on start up. Disappears then a black screen. i have to pop the battery just to restart it.
Im getting frusterated.

got the d852 the correct one. And the thing is not working. This is also a bell phone and im trying to bring it to wind as the title suggests.
You need to use autorec for the d852 from the play store to get twrp working. Use the one for which ever version of android you're on. If you are on lollipop, use autorec for lollipop. There's also a version for marshmallow. Autorec basically downgrades parts of your firmware to kitkat versions which allows you to use a custom recovery and custom roms.
If you want to use your bell phone with wind, you need to have it carrier unlocked. Easiest way would be to pay bell to unlock it.
alright so if i pay to unlock it i dont have to do anything else to it? cuz bell got d852 firmware while videotron/wind has d852g
Update.
I got twrp on. and wow. its a big problem out of the way. so now the next step is for a permanent root correct? And if videotron firmware is flashed would that bypass network unlock?

i tried following this guide but the device manager wont let me install the .inf file. Anyone have any ideas?
another update. i was finally able to get past the port issue. i was able to finish the steps but im not sure if i even unlocked the bands i needed for wind. And also this phone is locked to bell so when i put in my wind sim it says sim network locked. So...i think this is the only step left. Does someone have a method of unlocking it without paying 3rd parties or bell?

Hey guys I'm looking for advice with my new Telus locked phone. I've tried the unlock menu method South the latest and even downgraded firmware. Every time it is still locked when I boot up.
Had the same issue with my s2 previously and resolved it by flashing a us carriers older stock firmware and modem then unlocking it then restoring back the Canadian one.
what I've read the bootloader complicated things with this phone. Can I change to old att modems and firmware? It seems only Odin ones exist and I don't want to do something stupid. I don't want to spend 45 on a code as I understand it won't work after trying the menu method. Any ideas or do I have to pay for the gsmusb method.
I ended up just doing the fast gsm usb unlock for $15.
Hi guys, first post here so please bear with me.
I recently bought a used LG G2, its the Sprint model from the USA. The previous owner had it rooted, and flashed a stock T-Mobile rom or might have been a custom T-Mobile rom.... needless to say, the model of the phone changed to D801 (the T-Mobile Variant).
So when I use LGFLASHTOOL to flash the Sprint *.tot file, it gives me an error message stating that the hardware model does not match the software I am trying to install, because the phone basically now thinks its a D801. The phone, however is the LS980 from Sprint. As well, *#06# is giving me a "null" IMEI. The previous owner never gave me the box ,so I don't even know the IMEI number for the phone. I'm really frustrated having bought the phone and now can't even use the stock firmware. Does anyone know how I can put the sprint firmware back on using the kdz method ? Or perhaps how I can override LGFLASHTOOL to flash the Sprint *.tot without it checking the hardware.
Please help, I'm out a lot of money if I can't figure this out. BTW the phone is no longer rooted, and keeps resetting itself. I had reflashed the stock T-Mobile rom because he told me it was tmobile (really was his own custom t-mobile rom) so now i dont even have TWRP on or root.
Again, the phone constantly turns on and off and I'm desperately seeking help. Thanks in advance.
P.S. Also wondering if its impossible to know imei if it says null.... but restoring the Sprint rom is my main priority.
Do you have access to recovery like twrp? If so, just flash a sprint Rom, any rom. That way the next time you use LGFlashTool it will detect it as a LS980.
Edit: I see that you don't have twrp. ..

Any update OP?
Were you able to fix this? I have the same issue.
Ok, I'm going to try to make a long story short, i hope that i've posted in the correct forum, I've been scouring this forum and others but nothing I've found has quite fixed my issue.
Got my S4 locked to Bell in Canada. Heard it was really easy to unlock [service menu *#0011# method] but once I got to Indonesia [for travel] expecting to be able to use my phone I found that the service menu was no longer available. Ok, no problem, there must be other ways;
I ended up paying for an unlock code from a site, it didn't work. In fact, immediately after I press 'unlock' it would say 'network unlock unsuccessful'.
I thought they gave me a faulty code but when the code I bought FROM Bell was the exact same one, and had the exact same problem I figured it was likely 'region locked'
I ended up flashing a stock rom with odin, one from a weird unlocking site, and eventually I got it working. The only problem was that whenever I'd go into screen lock I'd lose reception and have to airplane mode on and off to get it again.
After Indonesia I went to Turkey, was unable to connect at all with one of their service providers, but had no problems with Vodafone. I think this may have been a side effect of regionlock away app, I needed to use that as well.
Once I got back to Canada I went custom recovery with cwm and flashed Cyanogenmod. This was fine, no reception problems, 10.2 - 11 was all good.
NOW I am in Poland, and getting the same problem I had in the first place. Whatever Cyanogenmod did, re-locked my device, in some way, I'm guessing.
I'm now rooted, with TWP recovery, running Android 4.4.4 Dave GPE rom, and would REALLY like to be able to use my Polish sim card with this fantastic setup. Chainfire's regionlock away app does not work, gives me a CSC error message. My phone now says it's an i9505 instead of i337m
Anything I have overlooked? Any way I can get this fully unlocked and working the way I want it to?
*NOTE* I can't access *#0011# service menu, even though I flashed [i think] stock dialer.
You are not in the correct section
You need to be in this section.

I can help you a little though. If the unlocking methodes fail, then it's usually because you don't have an older modem. You need to look for the modem you should flash in order for it to work. Afterwards you can flash the modem again you are on now. If you can't find it, just flash an old modem and try.
I find it hard to believe that Cyanogenmod could have caused this though.
Cool, that will be my next phase of attack. I appreciate the redirect and thoughts (Y)
I have lg v20 us996 and after the latest ota update there is no network(even though sim card is detected by the phone) and the radio button turned off automatically and there is no way to turn it on again.
I have tried all the dial codes to turn it on in phone info app but everytime I get a message saying that "This application doesn't work on this phone"
I have also tried factory reset but it didn't solve the issue .when I contacted lg usa they asked me to send my phone to us which I can't do because I live abroad.
Is there any way other than dial codes to turn my radio button on or is there any other way to get network back on my phone.
Note:I dont want to root my phone because I have bricked my previous phone trying to flash a new rom into that.
I have also used cell radio shut off app in play store.It just crashes whenever I use it.
So please suggest any other way if possible.
Yup, this happened to me as well and several others after the last update...and my phone is still under warranty but i can't send it to the US same as your case. It is really frustrating that an official update would brick your phone. There is a local service LG center in my country but they can't do anything. In my case in can't even unlock the bootloader for whatever reason.

I have the same issue after the lastest OTA update. You can fix this by flash the modem file. Since i cant send my V20 to US so i have to fix it myself. all you need is unlock bootloader, install TWRP, update to the lastest OTA (optional) and flash the modem.img file.

You can try the dirtysanta method. Unlock bootloader via LG will take about 3 days.

Idk i only know how to fixed this on us996. But you can try, i think you may need the modem file of AT&T variant.
You must have TWRP and flash the universal modem.img

hitting what seems to be the same issue, did you ever get it resolved? thanks
So I recently picked up the T-Mobile version of the OnePlus 6T (A6013) from Amazon that was refurbished by Amazon. Based on the reviews, I expected that I would have to unlock the sim with T-Mobile before I could even use it. Now that I received the phone, upon booting, there was no T-Mobile animation, and I was able to pop both my AT&T sim and my (work) Verizon sim, both totally work to my pleasant surprise. Now that I'm digging into the unlock/root process, I'm a bit unsure if my bootloader is still locked and I need to take my phone from the T-Mobile rom to the international rom, or if I potentially can go straight into installing TWRP recovery and flash new ROMs.
Additionally, if I do go to the international rom, will I still be able to use my Verizon sim? That's not as important, but definitely a nice touch since it's for work, and I'd like to not have to carry around 2 phones anymore.
Any and all help would be much appreciated!! Thanks in advanced!
UPDATE:
So I went ahead and tried the update process to take my phone to 10.0, but every time I update it, even when attempting through OOS' local update function, when I try booting the phone, it gives me an error along the lines of "FW version does not match SW version" - does anybody know what's up with this? Can't seem to do anything else and have had to restore it multiple times with MSM Tool. Will going through the 7-day unlock process help rectify this?
