Hey everyone, So i used the unlock method of flashing the LS993 to the Canadian version to unlock the device. I thought this would fix it however now I cannot pick up anything when using Boost (device was originally a Boost mobile Device) does anyone know how to revert back to stock? or should I just try to brick the phone completely and send it to LG for a warranty repair? thanks
UPDATE

I purchased LG G2 D800 (32gb) locked to AT&T network. I wanted to unlock it with a code and tried various webstites - 3 of them replied that they cannot offer any support, 2 emailed me back with an unlock code. Codes from those 2 different websites were the same, however it did not work - I now have the last attempt left to unlock it. I tried through one of the 'shops' as well, but they couldn't help either. Can you please advise if you have a reliable way of unlocking or obtaining a code for unlocking? Is there any other way to unlock this phone? Maybe at least a way of bringing the count of tries back to 1? I also tried ringing AT&T but they could not help, as I did not have an account with them - I'm stuck.
Thanks for any help or suggestions you may have,
Problem with unlocking LG G2 D800
please help!
So I tried to unlock my phone through my carrier,att, and they were willing to to do it but they said the imei was bad. So I just thought they messed up. Then I payed 5 bucks to get it unlocked on a site and they said my imei is also bad. I have a lg g2 att and currently I have twrp and stock debloated rom loaded. If it matters I've flashed many many Roms on this phone. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated
Is this weird or what? Has anyone had there imei possibly changed from flashing Roms? I did a total return to stock and it still shows the same iemi( that att does not show as a lg g2). Has anyone had this problem before. Thanks
Hi everyone. I've got a fully unlocked T-Mobile LG G6 H872 and struggling to find a way to remove T-Mobile boot / splash screen and bloatware. Is there any possibility to do it without any risk? I'm thinking about flashing 10T firmware for H870 but afraid of bricking the phone. I see no hardware differences between these two devices. Thanks in advance.
If you flash the H870 firmware you will brick your phone. Try using adb comands to remove bloadware. Search one post in xda that explain the procedure and it is 100% working.
LG Package Disabler will let you disable any app, including TMO and other crap that does not allow you to Disable in the App section.

1) How did you get your G6 (H872) fully unlocked (PLEASE SHARE)?
2) Can you download your stock ROM and post it here so the devs can work on the ROOT and/or the vanilla ROM version? Thank you!!
Hello please give a solution to unlock APP mobile H872 LG G6
Hello all,
I'm really new to the phone modification scene. I tinker around with computers mostly. I have an unlocked sprint version of the LG v20, the only problem is I am not receiving data on my new carrier (even with the correct apn added). I'm pretty sure this is a firmware issue. I was wondering if there was a way to flash the us996 or verizon version of the phone to get data to work. I know the sprint version is super locked down. I just didn't know if using a modded version of LGUP and the us996 kdz would brick the phone or not, or if there was a way to flash different firmware on the version I am on.
Thanks and cheers,,

everything is possible, if you do it by yourself

Your firmware has anti-rollback enabled (ARB1), and the US996 and VS995 do not (ARB0), so flashing any KDZ (Sprint does not provide KDZ files at all) will surely brick your phone permanently. You're pretty much stuck with the Sprint firmware you currently have, and the only change possible is taking an official over-the-air update to Oreo, but that could re-lock the phone to Sprint only again.
If you're getting into phone modification, then you'll be much better off with any other LG V20 variant as they are all rootable, unlike the Sprint model with ARB1.

That really sucks, yeah I don't really want to try and hassle with sprint customer support, I got the phone second-hand from my step-brother. So, i'm not sure if they would even unlock it again for me. Thanks for the information. I wasn't sure if there was a way to flash certain parts of the software to possible fix the modem issues or not.
Bought a H871 cheap on eBay and it worked awesome at first..then i got the software update notification to upgrade to Oreo. Thats when it all went downhill. The phone is just a laggy mess now ive deleted the cache and factory reset the phone so many times I lost count now. Nothing has made it any better. Then i get the update to go to pie and its the same story. I've factory reset and deleted cache so many times with no improvement. So my question is how can i go back to stock 7.0. Where all was right in the world. I saw you can use LGUP but I cant find a h871 kdz to flash....thanks for any help that can be provided

Here you can easily find the nougat 7 but my question is that can you downgrade your phone to nougat from pie without unlocking your phones bootloader.....?
the phone is probably damaged internally causing the processor to run slower to keep itself from overheating? no way to downgrade as the at&t firmware files have never leaked nor been made public. best bet is to follow a flash guide to load up oreo from US997 device.
see this guide -->> https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-g6/how-to/convert-upgrade-att-g6-to-h873-oreo-t3791848
please note this firmware will work on AT&T network however you will lose the ability to revert back to AT&T firmware. You will also not be able to use AT&T wifi calling

This is a great question. I believe some users have successfully tried it with Oreo. I tried unsuccessfully with my AT&T H871 but it is currently on pie. I have asked this question for my situation, but so far I have not received an answer. Head on over to the thread referenced above for conversion. You may need to read many pages of posts, but there are some who have tried this with Oreo and may have suggestions for you.
I have an AT&T LG G6 H871 that has been updated to Pie, and I was looking for a way to flash it so it would no longer have AT&T firmware. I live in Canada, in a rural area, so it would be great if I was able to switch the Network Mode to LTE( it favors HSPA signal at the moment) and get rid of the AT&T bloatware. I have tried using LGUP to flash this thing following the steps laid out in various forums, but I can't get it to work. Any help would be appreciated!
