Will a US996 unlocked version work with VS995 rom - LG V20 Questions & Answers

As the title states, has anyone tried flashing a Verizon version of a rom on a US996 unlocked phone. Such as Weta? I just picked up a new US996 V20 from newegg. Have not used an LG phone since the G4. I would like to have the Verizon visual voicemail and wifi calling but it is no big deal. Liking the phone so far stock and unrooted. I did like Weta on my Pixel XL though.

I also would like input on this. I got the unlocked US996 varient on a verizon plan. Because of this I dont have verizon visual voicemail, wifi calling and text, and hd calling. Is there a way to get these features back with rooting and using a verizon rom?

I unlocked my bootloader yesterday and installed the Verizon version of Weta Rom and all is good so far.

Doesn't WETA have it's own version for the US996?

Thanks for the response. Ill probably be doing that too then soon. Did you unlock the bootloader using the lg website or did you do dirty santa?

I used the LG site to unlock. You still have to do part of the dirty santa to get TWRP.

If you are wanting someone to help with an unlock - I would suggest posting a kdz of firmware.
I wish I grabbed one of these before they sold out. I would have liked to work on it along side of the G4.
Autoprime, mvhamm2
Have you found a way for unlocking?
What means KDZ firmware?
is this KDZ will unlock the phone?

So you got your G4? How you liking it? A step up from the G3 in your opinion?
Honestly I'm loving the smaller status bar icons.. Lol. That was one of my biggest annoyances of the Tmo/Lg collaboration prior.

Nice! I think you're gonna like it coming from the 3. Battery is about the same imo, but with the added stuff and no upgrade in battery I expect it. I have to get rid of this Tmo account app though asap. It's a battery killer on the G4.

Does that phone come with the new Tmo or metro unlock app? I think they're switching up how they handle unlocking now. It's one of the first apps I noticed on the G4. Guys on here are having the same trouble.. Call them.. Is it currently in service?
Have anyone figure a way to unlock the metro pcs lg Leon LTE I have two of these and I can't manage to unlock them

I tried that on my rooted LGMS345, but the system app that activates the Network unlock menu (com.lge.hiddenpersomenu) is missing from this device. Hoping for someone to come out with a solution, else is going back to MetroPCS.

Try to get the com.lge.hiddenpersomenu from the tmobile G3. Since metro is basically tmobile im sure it would work. Just download the stock g3 rom and pull is out and put it on your Leon
Make sure to give it the correct permissions

Also check to see is the tmobile version has it LGH340.. If so then use the one from that or maybe you could even flash the tmobile rom

No ROM available for mine, I think the Bootloader is locked but again I haven't gone that far since I may need to send it back.
Tried with and without SIM , also did a factory reset but same results. There must be another service or app preventing the unlock process.

It's working pretty well for me other than my MMS not working. Google Play Services stops from time to time. It randomly rebooted once. Adaptive brightness doesn't seem to work for me. That's all I've noticed so far.

I usually use www.simunlock.com typically takes like 1-2 hours to receive my unlock code. Best time to do it is first thing in the morning not on a weekend or holiday. Lol

Hi, I have an Idol 3 bought this past June and currently have Cricket service (phone not bought via Cricket).
It is super-slow/laggy. Do I understand from your post that changing an APN setting might help with lag?
If so, I'd be eternally grateful to know which one/how to change it.

locked or unlocked BOOTLOADER??

I'm on T-moble I guess there getting this phone. There track record for locked bootloader are becoming more and more prevalent... Does anyone know???
Wish it would be, but highly doubt it'll be unlocked. Need to get hands on one...
The V10 and G5 both had unlocked bootloaders. I currently have both. But still cannot push any fastboot commands.
Not saying the V20 will be Unlocked but the chances are high.
I really don't have issues with my G5 other than after the latest 10D my fingerprint reader sleeps/doesn't respond as well as with the initial software. But the V20 apparantly to me is the G5 part 2. I can imagine what the G6 will be like.
LG V10 has been out a year now?
And there isn't a single good ROM for it.
How's that for track record.

The T-Mobile G5 only has a modded stock ROM...so its in the same boat.
New devices come out too frequently these days, there's not enogh time for rom to be cooked....
That's to bad about the roms here. I'm spoiled since there are so many roms, kernels, mods, etc. over in the Nexus forums...
Speaking of root, G5, V10 (6.X), and V521 (G Pad X 8.0) have fastboot flash/boot commands disabled. However, all we need is pre-rooted .tot or .dz file flashed with LGUP. @tungkick may help us on this. If so, I will get it and trade in my V10.
Yes my G5 is Rooted but I'm sure the V20 will get cracked the same way.

The T-Mobile V10 has a few Roms. Including CM.
Since I'm with Verizon, the chances of their V20 being able to be rooted or unlocked is pretty slim since they always lock their stuff down. But there is root on the Note 7, which is shocking.

It depends on which CPU.
If it was Samsung, it has better chance.
If it was Qualcomm, it's hard to tell.

I believe it is a true root method, not an engineering kernel with with the S7 root method. But since the Note 7 still has a locked bootloader, can't install TWRP or a Custom ROM.

It is only Root using leaked Sprint firmware. It is specific to that leaked firmware version so you can't upgrade to a new release unless a leaked version of that new release is leaked again. It is better than nothing but not a great option either.

I didn't go with the Note5 last year due to no memory card slot. Then looked at the Moto Z Force, but since it lacks a 3.5mm headphone jack, and since my Note 4 still takes better videos, I didn't go with it. So I waited on the Note 7, tried it out a few times in the stores, felt fragile to me with the glass back, and now with the battery issues, I decided to wait on the V20 or whatever else is coming out later this year.

AT&T & T-mobile now have the same bootloader version

*I originally posted this in the AT&T S7 forums unintentionally so posting here as well*
For those of you curious about running the T-mobile firmware on the AT&T version of the edge, it is now possible since they are now using the same bootloader version.
I have an AT&T S7 edge (SM-935A) and recently switched to T-mobile as my carrier. I had to unlock it first so I used the service from unlockunit. It took almost a day for the code but I was then able to pop my T-mobile SIM and sure enough, it worked. Surprisingly, WIFI calling even worked!
At this point, I really wanted to switch to the 935U firmware as I heard it has great battery life as all the carrier bloat is removed. Unfortunately, just before I switched, the recent September update from AT&T raised the bootloader to v4. I learned after the fact you have to disable the update service as it eventually will force you to update. Now I was stuck with the damn AT&T firmware!
I wanted to flash the 935U firmware but the bootloader was still at v2 and T-mobile, so I thought, was at v3. It might be helpful to have a sticky on this forum with the current bootloader versions as it took some time for me to research the following:
AT&T - v4
T-mobile - v4
Verison - v4
Sprint - v2?
Universal - v2
Yes, you read that right, T-mobile just released a new firmware (PIA) which raised their bootloader to v4! You can grab it here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G935T/
It's the one with the date of 2016-09-27. I used the prince odin version referenced in this thread for flashing as others failed and gave sha1 errors. http://forum.xda-developers.com/veri...g930v-t3411015
If you plan to do this please research how to flash with odin and remember to back everything up! Samsung Smart Switch is a great resource for this.
I've been running on the new T-mobile firmware for just a day but already like it better than AT&T's. I didn't even know AT&T disabled some features of the S7 edge that other carriers kept. Typical for the Deathstar. Can you sense my disdain for AT&T?
For example, with the T-mobile firmware, you can control Download booster (the ability to leverage wifi and LTE simultaneously!) This option was removed from the AT&T firmware. In addition, you can set a preference to WiFi calling. With the AT&T firmware, you have no control and it will only flip to WiFI when in a weak area. It just so happens where I live the AT&T signal is weak so I was always jumping back and forth between the two and it was frustrating not being able to control it. The only way to force WiFi calling is turn on airplane mode when in a fringe area and turn WiFI back on. I'm so glad I don't have to deal with that anymore.
I'm including some screenshots which show the current firmware running on my SM-935A.
Hopefully we'll see an update to the 935U bootloader to v4 which will allow a switch to that firmware.
Thanks for the info.

no sorry im not clear on what im asking lol. im on (U)firmware but i cant send mms and my ims is not registered. if i go back to (A)firmware everything works fine. so the question is first do you have an origianl att phone? and second if so when you flashed the u firm ware did your mms work or did you alter something to get mms working.
My question is if i remain on att and run the tmobile firmware will the wifi calling work?

I didnt do anything it work right out of the box. I am on the ATT variant of S7 edge and mms works fine. I havent rooted and will never root this phone. Only thing not working is VOLte, Wifi Calling, and visual voicemail. lve been a nexus user so im used no biggie on them. Have you alter anything? Using any other messaging apk?

oh ok you arent rooted thats the big missing link lol , im rooted on att variant but have u firmware. sorry thought you were rooted and on u firmware.
So, it sounds like you're saying we can use ATT WIFI Calling after flashing the G930T firmware? Is there anything you lose from G930T? HD Calling for example? Anything else?
Edit: I said 930 because I followed a link here from the 930 forums - I assume it would be the same for the 935, but I'd like to know how it worked on the 935 too.
What are the benefits with the TMOBILE firmware?

It has been written elsewhere that AT&T requires 1) proprietary code [read: ATT ROM] and 2) AT&T-branded phones (IMEI they recognize, also includes some non-ATT such as iPhone/HTC) for advanced calling features to work.
I would bet that VoLTE, WiFi calling, video calling, advanced messaging, etc. do not work with the T-Mo ROM.
On the other hand T-Mo uses more standard VoLTE protocols, etc., so phones like Nexus 6P, 5X, etc. work with VoLTE and WiFi calling just fine on T-Mo.
A bit of history: Even people who got ATT-branded Nexus 6 do not get VoLTE because Google later standardized the N6 ROM therefore without ATT's evil code (and bloat).
ATT has quickly surpassed VZ as the new Evil Empire.

Where did you find the solution, I've tried a couple different versions of odin and no luck. Also, should I be using the "CSC" or "HOME_CSC" in the CSC box?
EDIT: Also figured it out. search for "Verizon S7 / S7 Edge [Root Guide] SM-G930V SM-G935V [NO KNOX TRIP]" in xda to find the correct ODIN version for this.
and the correct file to use in the CSC field is "CSC" even though ODIN says to use the "HOME_CSC"
Do I need to enable OEM unlock?

[Bounty] Verizon Pixel bootloader unlock

I don't know if this is the correct place, if not, please reallocate accordingly.
As the title suggests, I'm willing to pay $30 dollars for having the verizon bootloader unlocked, hope more users get into the cause.

There's already a thread on the 2xl that's over 1k and no luck so far.

For anyone interested, I contacted user ismailaba and got my Verizon Pixel XL unlocked, I got it with 7.1.2, and updated to 8.1.1 when he unlocked it, here are some picks:

It's early this morning and those are the best pics I had of doing it.. I only had my old Nexus phone that has a cracked screen to try do the pics.

Does this allow you to toggle the oem unlock switch at will?
The OEM unlock goes grey again. I have t tried locking it back.. I'm not going back! Lol this is where I wanted to be and I'm just waiting for BeansTown to bring g us purenexus 8.1 and I think we'll be golden! ????

Ah ok, I already have mine unlocked but I would love to have the option to lock and relock at will. Did Ismael charge for the service to unlock? Was it done remotely?
What is involved with unlocking the boot loader?
Smail simply uses teamviewer to remote connect to your computer and uses Flexihub to connect his computer to your phone. I did a factory reset and took out my sim card and skipped connecting wifi. I went straight to develop options and turned on USB debugging and he did the rest. He said turn on wifi and reboot and 5 minutes later i was able to toggle oem unlock. He didn't charge me he said he takes donations but not necessary. I was just as skeptical anyone but he genuinely has figured it out.
I can also confirm that @Kream24 is correct. This method is legit. He didn't charge me either, but I did donate $10 to him.
I've run custom roms on every phone I've owned but this one. Really not missing much without root. Definitely fun to tinker with but, I've been able to pretty much do anything I need to without it. Sure it involves more steps using adb and buying pda net to get around the 15 gig Verizon Hotspot. I do miss viper but, I'm having no problems with my phone.
If I were going to unlock I wouldn't be afraid to use smail's method and I'm kind of paranoid about who touches my stuff.

Just to let you know he asked 30 for me to unlock, i did it yesterday, but it is well worth the 30 bucks! I am so happy to be unlocked again!
