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 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

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

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
Can someone please advise how I can flash the rom to jailbreak?
You can't. It's impossible.

Yes, Unlock for about $2 on eBay. Will work with Tmo & ATT, and their MVNOs. You may, or may not, need to switch to 3G for first call to register (I had to), then you can switch back to LTE without any further problems. You also may need to manually add APN, but I did not need to.
It's a pretty solid phone and can be had for $40 at Walmart, or price-match elsewhere. Really stinks that the bootloader can't be unlocked. I didn't think it would bother me...but it really does. Oh well, I knew it before I bought it. Will be a good backup.

Have you tried entering your APN manually? Try Googling Tmobile apn settings.
Others are getting it to work on Tmo.. https://slickdeals.net/f/10418732-s...w-free-store-pickup?p=103877488#post103877488

Maybe your SIM card is activated on another phone. Happened to me on MetroPCS. I put in a SIM that was activated on another phone...it worked fine for about 5 mins., then all service was removed and it said Emergency Calls Only. You really should try entering the APN manually, if you haven't done so already. I'm now using Cricket with no problems at all.

I think that's the issue. Same thing happened to me. I tried to use my gf's SIM from MetroPCS in mine. It worked for like 5 mins and then lost service. MetroPCS doesn't recognize this phone for some reason because it is a Verizon phone. You could call them and try to add it to your account. Cricket picked it up easily. I just had to do a lot of searching for the correct APN.

Call MetroPCS and register your SIM to your E4, go with Cricket, Straight Talk, or Total Wireless. There's always a possibility that Metro won't allow your Verizon E4 on their network because they want you to buy theirs. I'm sure...as you know, theirs don't even have a fingerprint reader.

Personally, if I were you...I'd go with Cricket, At&t, Straight Talk (At&t), or Total Wireless(Verizon), because T-Mobile (MetroPCS) coverage is not all that great.

Hi guys.
I've got G6 LS993 ZV9, It's unlocked for Domestic use only, but I need it to work internationally, like in different Country, since I'm outside of US.
Can anyone help me with Unlocking the device?!
I'm gonna pay if someone's gonna help.
Thank you!
***(Sprint didn't do it for me).
Are you sure your phone doesn't have a region lock on iMod Edit
Because you do not need to pay anything for region lock. All you have to do is to place or receive a 5-minute call with the specified region SIM card inserted into the phone.
finally i have my sprint g6 unlocked on the latest version ls993zv9!
it works with metro pcs and at&t!

Is your phone Sprint variant? Besides paying off your phone, your phone needs to be active with Sprint for at least 50 days to be eligible for unlock.

You are getting the error because your Sprint Sim is not installed. It needs to communicate with Sprint.

Hmm.. However you aquired the Sprint model, it needs a Sprint sim unfortunately. If you don't have it, then you need to get one. If the phone is still under lease, then you need to get ahold of whoever has it on their account and have them pay it off and request an unlock.

I believe you do need the sim. It's kind of a tricky situation. If you call Sprint (they're dicks) they may not do **** to help you even with a ticket number. I personally wouldn't have purchased it until the original owner had confirmed the unlock.
When we submitted our white model for unlock, we had the Sprint sim card in the phone and checked it like you did. It said locked for several days. Then one day it said it was carrier unlocked. My wife put in her TMobile sim and it has worked ever since.
I remember getting an error similar to this when I tried the unlock on Wifi. Turn off wifi and try again. It may be 100% correct you need a sprint sim to do it, but you can at least try different scenarios. (e.g. always with wifi off, try with NO sim, cricket sim, etc.)
I'm under the impression from everywhere that I've read on this and other forums that you need a Sprint SIM card inside the phone.
I take it you're not a Sprint Customer now? Let us know how this pans out. There are at least two or three that I know on these forums that would love to drop our Sprint service today while we are waiting on them to unlock.

Yes to both your questions. To get it to look like TMobile, Just ODIN the latest T-Mobile firmware for S10+. There's plenty of how-to's for that.

Well I may be buying a AT&T S10+ that is "Unlocked" so I'd rather have it branded with T-Mobile stuff instead of AT&T.

Ok that makes sense.
Just make sure it's truly unlocked. I had an ATT iphone that ATT actually unlocked and it was used on Verizon for 1 year. No problem. Then it was used on ATT again briefly and when sim cards were switched to TMO I got the dreaded invalid SIM message. A quick call to Apple revealed that ATT locked the phone again! And I wasn't an ATT customer. I did get it unlocked after calling ATT but what a PIA.

Cool thanks for the heads-up. Once I get the IMEI number I plan on calling AT&T and make sure there's nothing wrong with it like lost/stolen/still financed then I'll call T-Mobile and give them the IMEI number to make sure there's nothing wrong with it on their end.
