Unlocking the LG G5 Sprint model!
First and foremost thank @vittger over in this thread where the method was posted - HERE
Reason I am making this Guide/post is it seems like even though its been posted, theres not a thread for it and some miss the actual method of doing it.
I haven't tested or seen it tested on any OS below Android 7.0 so it may not work unless you've updated.
1. Download this APK - HERE
2.Install the APK
3 Open the App
4. Scroll down & Select IOT(CDG2)
5.Select LTE setting,Select Operation Mode, Then Select Lab Network
6. Device will reboot, Then go back to step 3,4, and 5, and the option Band25 make sure its enabled. scroll down to LTE Data roam config, and enable all the bands towards the bottom in that menu as well.
7. Go back to the Hidden menu APK main menu, ModemProtocol, RAT Selection, then choose GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto
8. Reboot and you should be good to go!
9. You now have you Sprint LG G5 LS992 GSM unlocked for both US and international GSM carriers
To Add your APN (for data):
Go to, The hidden menu APK, IOT(CDG2), LTE Settings,
APN settings and then add your APN for your carrier
Remember you'll need to set APN type to "default" and
authentication type to "None" or else it wont work
Tested and working with AT&T 3G/HSPA,4G/LTE And T-Mobile 2G/4G/LTE working perfectly fine in the USA. Also tested with a GiffGaff UK sim roaming in the US.
This method also works with the LG V20 and LG Tribute HD so it may work on other LG devices.
Having an issue with it stop working?
Disable your screen lock. No password/swipe to unlock/fingerprints - Having a password seems to be an issue with this method.
Here's a quick YouTube video I made,

This method works entirely on stock. Been running a TracFone GSM BYOP SIM card for the past month with use of the APK above.
Is this the same as the remote unlock? Thank you

Sort of but its FREE. It will do the same exact thing. The instructions are in the OP. All you do is download the APK follow the directions and GSM unlocked
Thanks.... Bro
How do we return to sprint? Can you put that in the instructions too?

Just dial ##RTN and enter your SPC code, which will reset your device. If you need your SPC code Give Sprint your IMEI and they can provide it.
Thanks,
RTN would do a reset of all sw or just the provisioning/network/sim setup?

Will this work on a Boost LG Stylo 2? I have tried and it is not unlocked and I cannot find "scroll down to LTE Data roam config, and enable all the bands towards the bottom in that menu as well. " this part in the app.
FYI it has Android 7.0 on it.
Thanks

same issue with somebody mentioned before, I was using on at&t and after a reboot, it will display no sim no matter what you do, have to do a R&D reset to make it work again, and this has happened 2 times for me. anyone have solutions?

This has never happened to me. Only way I can see it happening is unless your phone had an update, or something Sprint wise is doing something. Did you do a FULL reset before doing so? As in ##RTN#? Where it wipes all the Sprint carrier config etc?

What are the bands used for GSM by your carrier?
The phone is factory SIM unlocked, meaning that it will accept any SIM, but if the bands for your carrier are the same as US GSM, you need to use the method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2166542 to open up those bands...
Also, if you haven't already, you'll want to edit your build.prop for GSM use. I'm probably gonna write up a guide on how to do it here eventually so I have an easy link to point to.
Also, FWIW, you won't really get an improvement on stock if you're having connection problems. If anything, stock will lock you down more because Verizon is annoying...

The GSM band used by my Carrier (Virgin Mobile Chile) is GSM 1900, also i've never edited build.prop since the last time i did for illusion ROM and it didnt work, giving me a softbrick.
The problem i'm having right now is the DialPad, it wont work at all in calls, in any Custom ROM i've installed so far... i dont know what am i doing wrong? since i dont see that bug very often over here

wait... what do you mean by dialpad?
Do you mean the dialpad that you can access in-call? Like to "press 1 to continue"?
There should be a button on the bottom-right to access that... just tap it and it will appear

haha yeah i know that, the thing is i can tap them all and nothing will happen, for example: press 1 to access your account ... then i press 1, and nothing... i can actually spam numbers and nothing, its like pressing nothing at all even when i cant literally have my screen full of numbers actually dialed.
I hope u can understand my explanation

Did you wipe data before?
If so use keys to get to bootloader & select recovery.
Follow guide. You should be a happy face in the guide.

Hello all,
I am using the exynos variant of Galaxy Note 4 and using the official lollipop firmware.
But when I went into setting to choose network mode then I only find 3G and lte options. No GSM/WCDMA options there. Is this normal or is there something wrong?

hi ,
ok .i do not have the exynos variant ,but N910f Snapdragon .I have Lollipop ..BOC5 running on device .
However i do not think above issue , would make much of a diffs ,as its "software related issue" ?
Check my screenshot for difference to yours ( all my devices ,no matter what Rom i was using eg German ,UK etc always reflects the same .)
Maybe look a bit wider eg ..Carrier software ..etc
But i find it very strange you have no other network options ?
good luck

Thank you for the response. Even I have never witnessed anything such as this in any android mobile which I have used. Maybe someone with Exynos variant would be able to confirm this thing.

910K is a Koreean version. It seems that the software is how to put it...branded, and the gsm/edge options are not available, as the carrier that sels the variant of phone does not use those frequencies... I can't figure out any other explanation. Maybe flashing a different variant of lollipop would help, but I am not shure if the LP variant from the international version of 910C is compattible with 910K. I will do a search if my time allows it and get back to you. Cheers!

Hi,
Didn't get you. What you mean?
Hey, guys.
Thanks for reading.
I bought a locked S5 G900P from Sprint (BOD3) but I live in Brazil.
After a few days reading threads, I've finally managed to downgrade it via CWM (installing stock NK4 kernel and SM-G900P_NI3_ROOTED_ODEXED).
Then, I've unlocked it via SSU. Since I couldn't get any data, I tried a lot of workarounds (installing shohat rom, cm11...) but nothing. Then, I decided to flash the latest firmware available at sammobile: G900PVPU3BOF6.
No data from the latest firmware also.
Now, my phone is back to ShoHat V5 Rom (4.4.2), with G900PVPU3BOF6 baseband and NK4 kernel.
The signal icon on the top of the screen appears to be full (four bars) and I can see the phone carriers, but I can't register to mine (VIVO Brasil).
Does anyone know what I'm supposed to do? That's the configuration that got me closest to receiving data.
Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Again, thank you for your time.
Just saw that on my phone, despite using SSU:
NETWORK. BLOCKED
IMEI CERTI: FAIL, -9
Any help? Please.
Your network bands do not match the phone bands.
Go into the secret menu. Try downloading Phone Info app for this.
To unlock all the bands try this. Go to UE Settings/Settings/Protocol/NAS/Network Control/Band Selection and select LTE all bands.

Hello guys, I have found a way to make the hostpot work on our LG G5 verizon, of course without needing a verizon sim, I accidentally found it and I share it with you, here the steps are very simple:
1. The first thing to do is download the app ES Explorer (from the play store or the apk I will put the link at the end of the post).
2. Open it (skip the initial configuration, it is not important) and go to the option of sender.
3. Touch the RECIVE option, then our device will force to create a hostpot.
4. Now we can close the app and enter settings and configure our hostpot freely :fingers-crossed:.
I hope this form works for you to make it work.

I do the same method using ShareIt apps as I think it do the same way in creating hotspot for file sharing but still can't, and now I think I can't do files sharing via hotspot network at all which is the best way to transfer files. and also, could not tether a hotspot to my laptop...

I'm sorry that didn't work for you , this method worked for me, and some friends i told them to try it, and then I decided to post it here, I thought it might be a great help.

But in the phones that I tested all have nougat installed, with the latest updates of April 2017.
Yeah, mine just pops up: "Tethering; Data network connection is not available. Mobile Hotspot/USB tethering service needs Verizon data network in order to work" when trying to do that. Non-root phone.

I am very happy to know this way to activate the hostpost you found it worked, I thought that no one else would work , after trying on 4 different devices and worked perfectly but apparently to those who try the method that leaves here you have not had luck. I hope it continues to be useful to other users.

Hello guys, I have found a way to make the hostpot work on our LG G5 verizon, of course without needing a verizon sim, I accidentally found it and I share it with you, here the steps are very simple:
1. The first thing to do is download the app ES Explorer (from the play store or the apk I will put the link at the end of the post).
2. Open it (skip the initial configuration, it is not important) and go to the option of sender.
3. Touch the RECIVE option, then our device will force to create a hostpot.
4. Now we can close the app and enter settings and configure our hostpot freely :fingers-crossed:.
I hope this form works for you to make it work.
