Great work! We also have a APK that can do it as well.
But selling a service here is not allowed.

I'm not outwardly selling anything, i've been providing free unlocks for some time on XDA.
What APK unlocks the device?

The hidden menu APK. it changes a setting from Operational mode to "Lab operation" and it enables use of GSM. So far it works with the G5, V20, and a few low end Boost mobile/Sprint prepaid LG devices.

hiddenmenu apk no longer works on ZV6 or past December security patch, the network lab operation was removed out of the IOT menu
Although, if you're taking the device overseas, the hiddenmenu apk can be used to assist in selecting your LTE bands!

Strange. Others are reporting working results recently guess they've never updated. Latest update on the G5 is working perfectly fine though at the moment. Sucks they have to patch the simple ways lol.

The G5 and the V20 are two different beasts as far as the software correlation..
The G5 was shipped with 6.0, the V20 shipped with 7.0, the menu options were altered to prevent unlocking with the V20 via this method..
Just as it's removed in the G6 as well.

Yeah the G5 both 6.0 and 7.0 working correctly at the moment. Hopefully it doesn't get patched. But I've never recommended using Sprint phone outside of Sprint anyway. I've never had a stable signal in fringe areas oddly.
But outside the US Sprint devices are sold on a large scale LG devices at least.
Also with 7.0 something that may assist others, with that hiddenmenu apk, you can go to the svc menu -> port check test -> enable, then set the usb connection mode to file transfer / Always and obtain your SPC/MSL using any qualcomm LG method reader.
The apk still has many uses!
It won't ever get patched in the G5, they can't as the network operation mode is a requirement since it was built in to the framework.

Awesome! Thanks for the info! I had strange issues with random battery drain and overheating during that battery drain with mine. So I got rid of it. I had a feeling something was up with a Sprint app causing it. But no one else experienced the issue.

I've been trying to get my msl from sprint for a few days now as im litterally having poor data issues where i know i have good lte. So if i do this do i just download an apk to read the msl or an exe program for windows. My main goal is to go into ##3282# menu under edit (msl) required. under lte and adjust my band priority from 25 to 3 and 26 to 2 and 41 to 1. So in theory this should work right.

Any suggestions on the best Tether app now that Root has been acheived? Is FoxFi still our best bet even though we have Root now? Thanks!

Root won't automatically give you tether. Most ROMs that come out have this enabled.
Confirmed, FoxFi is still working. I will be testing WiFi Tether Router this weekend.
Now that we have root, I'm going to attempt the same methods I used with the L90 via build prop editing and a database change. Hopefully it'll prevent the data from being logged.
This would be helpful.
A modified HotspotProvisioning would be the best and most light weight solution, I know the VS986 has this accomplished (in the General subforum), but I'm not sure about other models.
My H815 (TWN) has a "Hot Spot" feature that works out of the box. Is that because the phone is carrier unlocked? Or does everyone have that? It's in my status bar 'power controls' section. However, I have WiFi Tether Router installed as a backup, haven't tested it (came over from my G3).
There is a thread already about how to enable Native Android wifi tethering. It is a simple ADB command and a reboot. You don't even need ROOT. I've done it already on my Verizon model and I am not rooted yet.
It is posted in the G4 Apps forums I think. Although a google search would pull it up.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g4/help/how-to-disable-carrier-check-native-t3153900
It is posted in the Verizon G4 forums but seems it would work on all carriers. It enables the Native Tether option in the Settings menu and disables some sort of check.

Yeah, I knew that Root wouldn't automatically enable it, that's why I asked for the best app to go along with it.

Must be nice.
The G2 also had built in Wireless Storage (a samba server) for accessing your G2 storage via local IP that had an option in the notification tray as a toggle. I don't think anyone has ever figured out how to move it to other devices outside of flashing the roms of phones that had it enabled.
HotSpot and a Wireless Storage port would be awesome.

And yes, this is nice. I had my internet go down in my building but wasn't worried...tethered my laptop to my phone and was able to use 8GB of the 20GB I have with Cricket for Netflix lol.

Carriers offer free tethering with limited plans. If you are on a unlimited plan, it cost extra. It cost $30 a month to add it to my plan.
I did what he said in this video and got tethering working in a few minutes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3Di9d7w1so
It seems very simple and root isn't even needed.
There is a code that ends with #*# that doesn't work with sprint so this video is what I needed.

I have had several LG phones and this always works. It is very easy to setup once you have root. There is a post in this forum that walks you though the process. I believe it's 5 steps. I'm just to lazy to look it up.

According to news there are several remote exploitable remote support tools. One is preinstalled on LG G3 & G4 WITHOUT a User Interface.
It's called RSupport. Never heard of this company or software, I couldn't care less about their bloatware. How to securely disable or remove it completely when there is only their plug-in on your phone? I do have root access.
http://blog.checkpoint.com/2015/08/06/certifigate/
I found com.rsupport.rsperm "Remote support service" Version 3.0.1.6 (Build 306), apk path: /system/app/rspermlge/rspermlge.apk on my LG G4.
Frooze it with TiBa. I recommend adding this to your list of bloatware you might want to disable!

It is probably best you don't take it if you have a locked bootloader. Unless you have one of the issues mentioned you run the risk of losing compatibility if they crack the bootloader or get the phone rooted because they will work on the older firmware first.
As always, flash at your own risk.

Well this is a first then. Never have we (in canada) ever gotten an ota before anyone else. Usually we're 6 months after vzw if at all!
I can't even check. When I open update center it skips directly to app updates. I don't even get an option to check software. I unfroze everything I had frozen but it stays the same. Don't know what's up with that.

I was wondering if any one knows of any root for the Sprint LG G6 or if it'll ever will?
Having had rooted phones is there a reason why the G6 needs root? Seems everything works quite well and almost all the bloat can be deleted.
Yes, it will get rooted. It just has not been out long enough. just give it some time, I am also waiting for a good root as I want to to make a couple small changes but so far so good. its been a good phone
Yes, it is a really good phone and I'm glad I chose it over the S8 but a deciding factor in me choosing the G6 over the S8 is I knew the Sprint S8 will probably never get root just like the Sprint S7 and I know historically LG G lineup usally get rooted pretty quickly
I am as well I never got the s7 because the power of that device over the s6 didn't justify spending the cash. and just fyi you can root the s7 https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s7/how-to/sm-g930p-root-t3410604

You can't unless you can get Root Access. I use Titanium Backup Pro to freeze apps rather than remove them. I don't mind them being on the phone; I just don't want them running in the background and using up my battery. Once you have Root access you can usually install Custom ROMs (the operating system that makes the phone run). Many of these have the Sprint and other apps stripped out.

Ok thanks, I think I may have gotten HotSpot to work..... But you must have your MSL or the ability to edit information on the ##DATA# menu. I have mines working after trying the old methods from the G5 and Galaxies... This method works after reboot and you can just switch native tethering on. But I Repeat I Was Only Able To Edit The ##DATA# with My MSL.

I went ahead and got the LG G6 and that's partially due to your optimism that it will get rooted. No, I'm not holding it against you if they don't figure it out. So far it's a great phone but I miss being able to freeze apps with TBP. Do you have any news on progress for root access? Thanks.
I'd love it if development mirrored the progress in for the Sprint LG G4 where it was possible to edit a hidden menu and enable Wifi tether. Would be awesome if that could happen with the Sprint LG G6!
Hi wtharden,
Could you please let me know how you were able to edit the APN?
I have MSL code from sprint; once i get to the APN screen, i have 5 items; internet, ota, pam, ims, and GSM.
It doesn't give me any options to add any new one.
I can select ota to edit, which it asks to enter MSL code, but still nothing after that.
