Hi there, recently I purchased am unlocked Sprint G6 after my nexus 6p received the BLOD. I'm really glad with the phone, but I've just noticed that the upload data is not working, I tried the method described here https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-g6/help/lg-g6-sprint-upload-data-solved-t3654968, but is not working for me, the only way that I can get signal and data back is by selecting "NONE" in the carrier menu.
Does anyone have any idea to fix this?
Thanks!

I just recently bought an unlocked LG G2 and set up the phone on a Koodo plan. The phone has worked great up until a few days ago when I lost service and the phone wont connect to the network anymore, even after a factory reset. I brought the phone to Koodo and spoke with a guy that told me sometimes unlocked android phones have difficulty connecting to a network and that he didnt know how to help me. Ive tried manually entering network information and ive tried different koodo sim cards but nothing works. What should i do next?
Try another simcard provider
Try gsm only
Try to search fir network in network settings

Hi sricard,
I seem to be having the same issue as what you're experiencing. I have unlocked G2 that I'm using on Koodo network. Just last night my phone switched to emergency calls only. It was working perfectly fine for a whole month. And before that I was using the phone on Fido network with no issues.
Some additional info. I tried my friend's Roger's sim card on my phone and it showed emergency calls only. When my friend tried my sim, he was able to connect to Koodo network.
On my phone when I search for networks, it does find Koodo, Rogers, Bell networks. It just doesn't seem to be connecting for some reason.
My phone is stock, not rooted. I wasn't even doing anything out of the ordinary with my phone so I have not idea why this happened all of a sudden.
I tried the hard reset also and that didn't work for me either.
Not sure what else to do. May look into custom rom but not sure if that's going to work..

What I found out is that my phone had been blacklisted... which means that it had been reported lost or stolen by somebody else and the IMEI number had been reported. The phone became useless... and as one of the guys that i brought it to said, i essentially had a very expensive paperweight. hope your situation turns out better than mine!

I also have the same symptoms as this, checked the IMEI with Koodo on the phone. They don't see it on any of their lists.
I'm trying everything but can't fix it. Still trying.

Hi. I am in the same situation. Days ago i bought and unknow person Lg g2 d802. I think i have a solution for work back again our devices. Please contact to my email. [email protected] and i explain to you my idea.
Similar Problem
I have an lg vs980 and I was using it with H2O wireless and later I changed to Simple Mobile. I'm living in Puerto Rico. The phone was working all right and, suddenly, one day it was always displaying 'emergency calls only'.
I did factory reset, then I reflashed stock lollipop and it was like nothing happened, keeps displaying 'emergency calls only'.
Then I found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2394689 and applied the patch but didn't seem to resolve the problem.
As a last resort I tried flashing cm 12.1 and before first boot applied the patch from the cited thread but no result, keeps displaying 'emergency calls only'.
Has anyone found a solution to this problem?
Hello,
Ive been using a Verizon S5 in Canada for the past year. I didn't have to unlock the phone, and it works fine except for a few things.
I recently rooted the S5 to get rid of some Verizon bloatware. My only problem right now is not being able to call the *611 customer service number. It keeps ringing the Verizon one instead of Canada's Koodo one.
Also unable to check voicemails because of this.
If anyone could let me know a fix for this please let me know!
Thanks

What network are you using this phone on?
Hello Everyone,
I am hoping you guys can help me out. I purchased a Verizon branded HTC 10 [GSM unlocked] an am having trouble setting it up on my network in Canada (Koodo/Telus). I am wondering if I may have purchased the wrong device for my network as I keep on getting the notification "Sim Card is not from Verizon Wireless". However, when I checked the IMEI with Koodo online, it indicated that it "should" work. If it is wrong, I believe I still can return it. Thanks in advance for your help guys.
Update: it seems that I'm able to access most of my phone's features after resetting it. However, I still cannot access my voicemail. Any suggestions?

Go to settings, call, voicemail, voicemail settings, and enter the Telus voicemail number which I'm sure you can find on Google.
I finally unlocked my LG V20 LS997 (Sprint version). There is no trick.
I bought my LG V20 LS997 from ebay and the seller claimed it is unlocked. I called Sprint and they also told me the phone is unlocked domestically and internationally.
However when I put non-Sprint sim card, I always got invalid sim card icon in the status bar and cannot get the phone work. Many people had the same issues.
Some people can unlock it and work but after update to Oreo, the phone will be locked again.
I found place in Sprint community talking about the unlocked LG V20 but still getting invalid sim card. I read through all the articles one by one. And I found that there are basically three steps:
1) Update PRL;
2) Update Profile;
3) Unlock UICC;
I can do the first two without any problem. But I never succeeded in step 3. So in Sprint community, I sent Em_Will_I_Am (please remember this guy, he is really good and can help you out) a private message telling him my IMEI, ICCD(sim card) and what problem I had. He will check if the phone is unlocked in the system or not first and make sure the phone can be unlocked by Sprint standard (fully paid, not stole phone, no unpaid charge etc.). Since my phone is in good standing and can be unlocked. He first re-locked my phone and I had to restart my phone using ##72786# to reset network settings. After that he unlocked my phone. After I do ##72786# again and wait for my phone is hand-free activated and wait for several minutes. I did
1) Update PRL;
2) Update Profile;
3) Unlock UICC;
What I got was something like 'Your phone is unlocked to any UICC that supported by the phone.'
Then I removed my sprint sim card and into a H2O wireless (AT&T MVNO) sim card. It works! You have to manually configure the APN in order to get data working. Since this is Sprint version V20, it only support 3G in at&t network. But at least I can have voice and 3G data from other vendor. I tried rebooting my V20 and factory resetting my V20. All of these operations have no impact on accepting the non-Sprint sim card. It looks to me is really unlocked now. My LG V20 was update to Oreo OTA one week back. so it is on the latest version of android now.
Thanks a lot to Em_Will_I_Am. When he relocks and unlocks your phone, he basically sends out a signal and your phone will pop up and say 'Updating profile' and then 'Profile update is completed'. During the whole process, Em_Will_I_Am will send you private message to tell you what he did and what you need to do.
My LG V20 was still in Sprint network and was active. I don't know if you don't have your phone actively on Sprint network will that work. But I would suggest to send private message to Em_Will_I_Am and seek his help. He may be able to help.
How can I get in contact with him
How can I get contact with him?
I need help too. Bought V20 phone off ebay and it worked great for about 4 months with Straight Talk and Cricket and then it got the Oreo update and now it gives me the invalid SIM message. I never used it on Sprint but it was a Sprint phone. Any help would be appreciated or if you can pass along the way for me to contact the person that helped you that would be great.

I was able to contact Em_Will_I_Am and they helped me out. I think an unlock code was sent again. I also did a couple of things that I think finally allowed the unlock code to come through. I went into developer mode and turned on Enable OEM unlock and then powered off. Then I powered back on while holding the power button and volume down. When the menu came up I chose Wipe Cache Partition. Then when I rebooted it came up and recognized the SIM again and so far all is good. Thanks again to Em_Will_I_Am on the Sprint community forums for all the help.
i paid for a unlock via ebay after he was finish unlocking my phone i inserted my sim. sginal kept droping every few seconds. so i cleared the network settings via phone dialer couple of times, same issue everytime so i just fk it and just updated to oreo now its still unlocked and signal don't drop!!!
Greetings.
I can confirm this. The Sprint assistant knows exactly how to solve the issue in just a few steps. Had the same problem associated to the phone locked since Oreo update and he helped me in a matter of few steps. Create the Sprint account and message him. He'll give you the support.
How long did it take for you to get the support?

I assumed I would need a Sprint sim to do this, so I just bought a new Sprint sim card off of ebay for a couple dollars. Then you will be able to give the sim information to Em_Will_I_Am
He'll put you on the list if your phone is able to be unlocked (ie. not blacklisted, not listed as stolen etc) and soon you'll be unlocked.
I'm so thankful to have found this thread and so thankful to Em_I_will for all his help. Amazingly helpful person.

I have the same problem; Em_Will_I_Am told me that I would be on the waiting list from last week and still no answer.
Could you please tell me more or less what time it took you to complete the unlocking process?

I waited just over a week. Keep in mind, they are done in the order they are received and I'm sure the first priority is dealing with customers actually staying with Sprint
Just keep your phone powered up so that you're ready when your time comes.

Hi there, I am having a problem with a LG G2 which was given to the daughter o a friend of mine, here in Colombia. From what I understand the cellphone was a gift from a friend of the family that was on holiday on Christmas in the USA. Now as the title already suggest the problem to be able to use it its the FRP lock, they don't have the email of the last owner, they don't even know who this person is so there's no way to come to this data. I thought to use a ROM LineageOS 17.1 OFFICIAL, or some other but my problem its that I can't see which LG G2 model its, 801, 802, or 803.
That its my question, its there a ROM I can use to upgrade the cellphone? That seems to me the easiest way to circumvent the google lock.
Hope there is someone who be able/willing to help me. Thanks
