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!
Hello Everyone...
Please let me begin by saying thank you to you all on XDA what an amazing resource for one another and especially idiot novice like myself...lol...also I am sorry if I am going about this question incorrectly, I am not sure of the decorum. I have tried and failed very badly in the past to unlock and root several models including my lasy V10 H901 (now useless as a result) and now I have a LG V20 H910 from AT&T...I desperately need to unlock the phone so that I can use it with another carrier while I am at home in Canada for the next month on family business...I have LGUP and simply need idiot proof directions and the downloads...can anyone help PLEASE...Thanks in advance for your time and consideration...

Carrier unlocking your device is fairly easy. You can submit a request on AT&T's website (att.com/deviceunlock) - and you should receive a unlock code you type into the dialer. (At least that's how I remember I did it last time I did a carrier unlock on my device)
Note this is not the same thing as rooting/bootloader unlocking. Carrier unlocking simply lets you use your device on other carrier's networks.
Hello,
I just acquired a new 'Huawei Ascend XT' phone which is sim locked to AT&T. I am currently in the process of unlocking the boot loader and rooting the phone.
I was wondering is there any tool available to Carrier / imei unlock this phone after I have rooted it (or may be even befor rooting it)?
Thanks.
I'm fairly certain you just need to change the apn settings manually.. need to do something weird to bring up the option to add/edit, believe it's holding down the tasks button
Without being carrier unlocked, the phone can only be used on AT&T Prepaid, AT&T, or AT&T based MVNOs. These days AT&T won't give you an unlock code unless you use the phone on AT&T Prepaid for 6 months. You can check eBay to see if any unlockers will sell you an unlock code for a few bucks. Only buy from sellers who have a money back guarantee if their unlock code fails.

Bought 2nd-Hand
I would like to ask if there is any way to carrier unlock. I bought this phone for 20$ on offer up. But when I contacted at&t to request unlock they said it has to be used for 6 months. For me that does not work, as I am already with tMobile and bought the XT for a second phone because of the large device support. I actually love the phone, but as is it is just sitting around. If anyone has or has heard of a way to accomplish an unlock please p.m. Me.or answer in forum. Thanks in advance.
Ps. phone is already bootloader unlocked and rooted with magisk 14.0. And latest TwRP.
A couple people in this thread for the LG K10 said they are getting closer for this model, any update on this model, would love to root it.
Ur bootloader is unlocked ?
Me too; I really don't care about the bootloader being unlocked but at least if I could have factory firmware without all the ATT bull**** installed, that would be great. What would be insanely good is if someone could figure out how to get the TMobile firmware on this guy so I can use LTE-Voice and WiFi calling.
So I followed directions here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-g6/help/unlock-lg-g6-ls993zva-sprint-version-t3779966
Went to: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-us997-firmwares/#tab=firmwares and downloaded: US99721d_02_1211.kdz
Follow all instructions at first link.
I can confirmed it worked for me. Havent had any problems. THIS will NOT allow bootloader unlock (already tried it).
Software Version: US99721d (shows in phone settings).
Atleast ALL V* bloatware is gone.
I am not liable if your phone stops working however, it worked 100% for me and can now use Wifi Calling features.
US997 is unlocked firmware (not bootloader) meaning you can use with almost all carriers.
XDA admin, if this is wrong forum to post in please move for me thanks!
Worked for me. Also wanna try to flash European software, do the TWRP, root and other stuff. Ill give you the feedback if it runs properly.
EDIT: I can confirm that phone works on h870 20H software, but it doesnt recognize sim card. Trying to flash modem from us997. Also i can confirm that bootloader unlock menu is avialable
EDIT: I managed to combine h973 20h canadian rom with h970 20h europe open rom to have all the languages (I'm from Poland). Now I'm gonna try to root it somehow.
As for know I know that US997 and H973 roms works on our VS988 without any problem. H870 have problems with modem, but it has a workaround (do a hybrid rom)
Cool Thanks. I know there are still lots of people that have this phone and want to figure out a way to unlock OR root it. However I'm glad its bloatware free.
So you have EU version phone? Or firmware?
Im on original VS988 > US997. SIM works, wifi calling. OEM unlock toggle works. You did the wipes and stuff in his steps? Im sure you did. Hope you get it working 100% !
So since the bootloader will not unlock all this does is remove bloarware? Still can't root?
Correct. No root. Removes all bloat and gives additional options like wifi calling. Verizon had it but if you switched providers wifi calling wouldnt work. Plus LG theme store is on it for some sweet themes. Some are free but the good ones cost a few bucks.
meh.
think Im just going to break down and buy a US997.
Phone itself is perfectly adequate. Only problem I have is I cant use the navigation app I want instead of stupid Google Maps in Android Auto.
my work phone is an iPhone and I'm starting to think maybe its time to switch. I switched ages ago to Android because iPhones were so locked down. Now Android phones are even more locked down....and the data collection is getting ridiculous.
ooh, this is interesting. which region did you select? there's two (2) available for download with the same kdz name you provided (UCK and UCL, both appear to be for us cellular). not sure what the difference is between the two, if any.
is your phone able to get ota updates after flashing? if so, does it come from us cellular, or is it pushed from verizon still?
I chose UCL. I dont know about auto updates, selecting check for update says "up to date".

was thinking UCL too since the UCK seems to be specific to OK area based on the name. thanks for the confirmation; will try this out tonight.
You're Welcome.
The firmware overall does seem a little quicker. Battery seems to improved. My wife used my phone yesterday for about 3-4 hours. I charged it before she left, she didnt actually use it so I'm guessing it was in standy by. Anyways when she got back it was still at 100% charge. Ive been typing on it for about 15 minutes and its at 99% so seems to be alot better.
I'm on a us997 and I want volte do I just flash the Verizon radio? Also is there a way to do it from recovery? I don't want to do it by PC unless I need to

Hello, you managed to unlock the bootloader?
Nope, I actually dont have time to work with my G6 because it's my daily driver. I managed to install h873 software and everything is working. You can also install h870 software but i think it don't have same antena drivers because WIFI and BT isnt working. I'm gonna to try unlock my G6 on h870 software, but I don't know when it gonna be... I've also tried to root it but every method I tried failed :c Also I think that you can unlock it on h870 without any trouble but SIM, BT etc wont work. The problem is taht when you unlock it on h870 and go back to vs or h873 software to get SIM working, you get locked device instantly xdd
Install US997 over VS988
works as described. used exact OP instructions and 8.0 rom. had to hard reset afterwards but all went well. phone was vs 988 with page plus as carrier. hot spot works after rom replacement per OP instructions. had no need for factory reset. all in all A+.
Hi guys
So I was thinking. Will it be possible to flash a kdz that already has an unlocked bootloader or extract the bootloader and flash it. Any ideas?
How about my phone is easier to use? 997, with this method, but now what I want to do h870 to test the update of android 9 you think work and I saw that the bands should be able to work in theory. The version has no interest in the subject of the root, but if the phone is updated. Sorry for my English

how do i flash the modem from us997 unto the h870? Please help
H870s over vs988
is it a good idea ? My phone has that notification of humidity detected so I can't charge it and I can't deactivated also it's so laggy ? Is it ok ? Cuz I've never done this on a LG
anyone try using US998 or US998z?
US997 does not have Pie. I would say Yet but as old as this phone is getting i doubt there is any work being done on getting it for the us997.

You can root your device now very easily with su98 zip. I have rooted mine and am now looking to unlock the bootloader, no lick so far.
