[Q] Unlocked LG G2

So I bought a LG G2, and its unlocked on verizon will it still work on tmobile or att if the owner calls in and makes it a bad esn ?
Sorry if this had been reposted i tried to look for a similar thread

I was wondering if it works on T-Mobile with a good ESN?

Now why would the owner call in and make it a bad esn, are you not the owner if you bought it?

From what I understand, the Verizon variant is unlocked out of the box, meaning it should work if the phone picks up the right GSM bands.

No and No way.
Blacklisted.

All you can do it use it with a carrier other than what it was designed for. If you bought a T-Mobile one I believe you can use it with Verizon or AT&T or vice versa.

Two of you state that you can unlock this device. Is it a secret or something for only the elite initiates?

You can call sprint. If your phone is payed off and in good standing they will give you the iccid unlock code so you can use another sim card.

There are other methods but they cost a fee and honestly I don't know how legal they are although they do work. There was an article on xda about a week ago about an unlocking website. I forgot the link though but it costs about 10-15 dollars.
EDIT: Here is a link to the xda article https://www.xda-developers.com/benefits-carrier-unlocking/ also no prices on the site that they mentioned but I have found unlocks for the above price. I just don't trust them. I feel that is easier and safer to go through your carrier.

I can unlock it with my GC pro dongle .

I have been wondering if this is possible on Verizon. I'm considering purchasing a clean ESN Sprint G6 and unlocking it to use on Verizon. Do you know if this is doable?

before purchasing ask for IMEI and contact verizon to see if they will allow a foreign ESN on their network. Verizon G6 is factory unlocked

it leaves it as a fully functional GSM phone

So I went into settings and requested a uicc unlock and it told me it was unlocked. Is that it? Or is there something else that needs to be done? I put in my att sim and it let me make a call but no internet even after adding the att apn settings
I've been with sprint forever and my line is out of contract FYI

Are you able to help me with an unlock as well?

Hello,
I'm outside of USA.
I have unlocked Sprint LG G6 using service from ebay.
For now I can use GSM sim card and make a calls. I configured APN and data turns ON and web browsing is working fine.
BUT messangers works very strange... telegram sends only text, not photos, viber not works at all....
Why? It's sprint specific setting like tunneling/proxy? How I can remove it? Any workarrounds?
I can pay if anybody can resolve this issue

Will there be ever a full functional root (Magisk)

I'm at the Moment on Mate 9 Porsche, but got good offers to sell it! :silly:
So, Samsung is a nogo, but the lg g6 would be great, IF there is a full root!
I never owned a LG, so will this get unlocked bootloader and root?
Talking about the H870 Dualsim with 64GB!
Cheers

Probably only on the European H870, so not the G6 with 64 GB. I'm saying this looking to the G5 situation.

Probably at some point but only the EU version and it'll take time.

But the 64GB is also H870, so should be the same as the europen H870 SingleSim? Or i'm wrong?

Actually the G6, not korean, dual sim with 64GB of internal memory is the H870DS, which is not the same as the European H870

Both the H870k and H870DS are available here in Australia. According to LG Australia the H870DS sold here has dual sim, quad DAC and 64gb. Supports all the band's for Australia, which the Asian version of the H870DS doesn't. So their is even further fragmentation, even within the same model number. Confusing as hell.

Agree, this is pretty confusing.
But for the bootloader unlock i'm almost sure that this model won't have it.

Doesn't LG unlock boot loaders for phones that are not carrier branded?

My Lg G6 is Not Showing Oreo Update

I recently purchased an AT&T unlocked LG G6. Everywhere online, people say that all LG G6 carrier models have been updated to oreo. For some reason, it says that my software is up to date even though I'm still on Android 7.0. My software version is H87110p and my model number is LG-H871. Does anyone else have this problem? And why is it that I cant recieve the update?

Why did you buy an Lg phone!, you have just fell in their trap, because you'll never get the update!
LG only support few regions, and the rest are only to get money from!

Yes I understand that, but it seems that in America, At&T lg g6 has already got the update?

I'm on AT&T they claim my phone had a problem that's why it didn't update I think it's bull. I converted by using the H 873 (Canada) update from LG-firmware.com using LG-UP. My phone is now 8.0 boots saying LG g6 thin Q. instructions in the AT&T LG6 thread. My phone runs fine no issues.
