[Q] How to unlock AT&T LG C900?

I got a LG C900 as a gift.
However, I am not a USA citizen. So, I think I can not ask AT&T to send unlock code to me.
So, are there any way to unlock my LG C900?
Thanks.
Buy an unlock code from a 3rd party. Thats what i did and im IN the usa. They usually run $15 USD but i found a seller on ebay that sold LG unlock codes (including my C900) for $2! (though if you do ebay, be careful. Try to go with trusted sellers with massive positive feedback and low negative feedback).

There are many Shops that sell unlocked Versions, but you need to pay for it.
This guy sell it too
https://www.facebook.com/HirotokeitaiTM
http://hirotokeitai.com/
He accept paypal as payment.
Thats why i made this topic, so some users can post their experience with different sellers and if the phone is really 100% unlocked for all Sim Cards. I know a User who bought a phone form Hirotokeitai and he says its 100% working.

Ordered and got a good deal
I ordered the Phone on lt-comm as they are also selling the Harman Kardon Onyx for USD 90 including shipping to India (No shipping to Qatar but I will be visiting My parents in a couple of months) which costs USD 200 in USA as I checked on amazon. So it costs me USD 465 for Sharp Aquos Crystal and a Harmon Kardon Onyx Studio. I'd say it is a good deal. What you guys think?

Yes this is wrong thread and $600 plus postal charges is too expensive.
My package dispatched by seller. So happy and eagerly waiting!
Received and
Just to let you know I was shocked to find there's no charger and Data cable in the pakage, but then the seller confirmed that in Japan, companies don't provide the chargers and accessories. Kinda bizarre to me but I checked online, it seems to be the case, plus I downloaded the softbank crystal user guide it does say that the charger and usb are optional accessories. So, there you go, if you are thinking about cost of accessories as well, it is on you. Now whoever wherever is selling the 305sh is NOT supplying the charger and or usb cable. You ONLY get the phone that's it.

What do you mean you need adb shell to chance the region? You cant use the normal menu?

LG G6 - H870DS or H870

Hello,
i would like to get myself the G6.
But i'm not sure wether to get the H870 (European model) or the DS model?
You could count the Pros and Cons, but its more a decision of wether to root and use custom ROMs or not?
What about updates/upgrades?
Just share your opinions to help me decide! :fingers-crossed:
PS:
I don't use/need VoLTE.

It depends on what you need...
Spoiler
H870 pros:
- Updates
- Bootloader Unlock: Possible
H870DS pros:
- Quad Dac
- 64GB of internal memory
- Dual Sim
So, if you need root or like modding in general go for an European H870, if not, go for the H870DS, if you have no interests in both pros go for the one which cost less.
My vote is for H870, don't need 32GB since i don't use heavy apps and have tons of storage on my pc and use a 64GB Microsd, also don't need QuadDac or the second sim.

It's better not, the possibility of bricking are very high, also what's the point of doing this? It wouldn't allow the bootloader unlock if that was your thinking, that is an IMEI limited thing
Thank you for your answer
To answer your question I would like to have the EU version because it seems to have more update than version TWN.

In any case I wouldn't advise that, after all the H870 has 32GB only, no dual SIM and no quad dac, so even if you don't brick the phone you would have a software limited phone.
I concur. I think it's a very bad idea, not sure you could even flash it anyways. You'll get your own updates in time, why bother about that?
I got the H870, because of the unlocked bootloader
There is no reason at all to get the European version unless you really need to unlock your bootloader. The DS version is superior. I've had both. Sold the European version and got the DS and could not be happier about it. This also send signals to LG for their region crap.
The main reason to buy a h870 instead of h870ds, if you're living in Europe, is the guarantee or a lack of it on h870ds. Spending £300 or more without any guarantee is gambling.
The sellers are putting in various forms of warranties on the H870DS, most of them offering a year of "seller's warranty". Considering the price of purchase, I'd say it's pretty good. You'll probably run into less problem returning it to a seller on eBay, who wouldn't want to risk getting negative feedback, than talking to LG customer support, which in some cases seem that they couldn't care less about your faulty phone.
The Ebay sellers are located in HKG, e.g. in guarantee case you or he have/has to send it for repair to HKG. 2-4 weeks without smartphone. EBay 12 months, EU 24 months guarantee, etc...

The sellers are shipping from Ireland or the UK, and if I were ever to return it over warranty issues, that's where I'd send it.
Gr8 idea, you send to Irland, UK, France or wherever. Your dealer ships it to HKG for repair = 2-4 weeks without your phone.

Yes, I got it from ebay, because I didn't trust the shady cheap websites. Others have successfully ordered from the shady websites, so you can give it a try if you're brave enough: eglobalcentral. Although I don't see the H870 model at them right now.

Well, if you send your faulty phone to LG, you can rest assure that it'll take some time to get it back as well, since LG doesn't do any repairs themselves. Depending on the issue, the eBay seller might send you a new phone instead of shipping it to Hong Kong. As I've said before, the eBay sellers are far more sensitive to negative feedback than LG, and more commonly known to try to satisfy their buyers.
As much as I'd love to have 64 gigs and dual sim, I spent €40 extra to get the 32 gig single sim, just to be able to unlock the bootloader.
I wouldn't hesitate a second to order with eglobal to get the DS if I felt I didn't need root access.
IMO the price difference compensates for not having warranty so the extra storage and dual sim make it a no brainer.
But yeah, bought the EU version anyway.

Where to Buy in the US the international unlocked LG G6 H870 version (1 Sim Slot 32G)

Well the title says it, the only place i found is amazon and is more expensive that the ones being sold in Swappa, but they are gone right now, or what other phone do you think is good?
Why do you want the international version. I see you are coming from an Nexus 5. The international version does not have wireless charging if that is important.

Because i will buy it there, but i will bring it to Mexico
Are there frequencies missing on the us997 that you need in Mexico?
Any of the US models should work fine in Mexico. Likely more so than a Euro model.
Well you could easily look that up couldn't you?
I suggest the topic starter do that himself.
