(Ask) LG Stylo 2 V (VS835) verizon wireless

I have searched for the posting of the Verizon Wireless varient of the LG Stylo 2 and cannot find one.
Does anybody know of a root method for the Vzw LG Stylo 2 V? I have stayed on the software version VS83510B and will not upgrade even though Verizon Wireless has an update available for the phone now. I cannot find a detailed explanation of the update on verizon's site, nor did I find it on LG's site.
Thank you for the information and help.
I've been looking for a root method for this device as well. I tried One Click Root and Kingo and neither one worked.
Looks like there is no solution for this device?
If anyone has a way to root this lg vs835 please let us know!

List Secret codes may help
I dont have the VZW version , however I do have some of the VZW settings options in my METRO pcs version.
The link I am providing may assist you in unlocking the potential of your device. After trying some of the codes I provide please let me know which codes work for you to access settings in your phone.
If you do not have the same (APP'S) in your phone then the codes from the list may not work for you. I could try to share the app so you can install it?? That might be intersting.
There are 38 pages included in the PDF file. Scroll down til you see Telophony secret code (#########) there are several in the list,
CAUTION! I HAVE NOT TESTED ALL THE CODES AND IT IS UNKNOW HOW THEY ALL WORK.

CDMA To GSM on any Custom Rom

Hello, guys, how are you ...?
I recently bought a galaxy s4 from verizon, as you know this device comes with the bootloader blocked so it does not allow changes in the system: (neither TWRP nor Roms anything, only root and module changes by flash fire) so I decided to buy a board of a SPH-L720 that works perfectly, until all very well the board brought stock rom and everything was great as far as wireless networks, so I decided to do root and change the recovery to install octos everything came out Good and booom! I had android 7.1.1 running on my sph l720, but there was a small problem THE MOBILE NET NOT WORKED anything 3g or 4g or anything, also in the settings did not allow to select preferred network type because it gave me a Error when doing it also with the code * # * # 4636 # * # * when selecting the gsm returned to LTE / CDMA and this was starting to annoy me so much because in my country CDMA is not useful and I was without service.
It happens that apparently the developers of this rom and the 10 most that proves they forgot to put in the build.pro the global network mode as preferred, so the cell phone only worked with LTE / CDMA and nothing else, so Try more than 20 ways install again stock and worked the network (but did not want stock wanted 7.1.1) so change the baseband and nothing at all this took me more than 4 days parting my eyes for a stupid error of the build. Prop so I found a tutorial on the net that gave me the link to a zip file flasheable by recovery and ready after 3 minutes select from 3g boomer and booom my cell running on 3g full and no signal decay thanks To all because I read all the help post and no one answered
Please send me imbox to pass the link since being new could not upload the link I will give them free

Idiots fall for anything.
I'm guessing that the OP was just spreading some BS, but I actually came here today looking for something that will allow GSM service on custom ROMs. My LG G3 just crapped out, so I had to get my 720T unlocked so I could use it on AT&T until I can afford to get something better. It works well enough on the stock ROM (although 3G kinda sucks) but it constantly switches between US Cellular and AT&T when I'm running a custom ROM, making it effectively useless.
Anyone know of any ROMs that can be flashed on the 720T that will enable GSM networks; any way to modify the popular ROMs floating around so they'll do what I need?

Phone not fully working ( No mobile data ) , Xiaomi Recommend a Re-flash

Hello Techies
On Christmas Day My Redmi 3S Prime gave up the ghost , the Mobile radio refuses to latch onto a 4G Network and can only reliably make a call when a GSM network is selected . This seems a pretty common bug , though I have scoured the solutions ( which seem to work for others ) ; swapping to multiple sims/providers , manually setting APM and Factory Reset , though the phone barely connects to 2G/ Edge Technology . This is a huge inconvenience as I use the phone for both business and personal life - not being able to use it is a royal pain in the ass .
I have contacted Xiaomi who recommend flashing to the official developer ROM Version: 7.12.21 (MIUI9) . I currently have latest MUI Global ROM (8.5) I have tried updating (downgrading ) to an earlier build (8.1) - using the 'upgrade' app on the phone , however this would not work , the device said it could not update to an earlier build . However I will try the developer ROM next , which I guess should work ?
The other option was the fastboot upgrade , which allegedly allows the phone to downgrade to a previous version ( I wanted a stable ROM , I dont really need Dev ROM ) . However the instructions are extremely vague and were written in a different environment (for earlier MUI builds and WIndows 7 ) . When following the official 'Fastboot' flash guide , it transpired that 'download mode' did not work with MUI 8.5 - so it seems the guide is irrelevant
Bottom line currently I am lost on what to do next . I will try the DEV ROM and see how that goes I guess .
After some reading , I am of the understanding that my Bootloader is locked ? I had purchased the phone with the official Global MUI rom installed and have only updated it with OTA official updates previously . I did not want to unlock the bootloader as my banking app (Barclays ) will not install on unlocked devices. I understand unlocking the bootloader also roots the phone .

Try flashing the phone in edl mode. I don't think it needs bootloader to be unlocked to do that.
For procedure you can refer Google
Update:
I did manage to update to MUI global 7.12.21 Beta using the Stock updater app . However this did not fix the issue , the phone still connects just with GSM and Edge Networks . I tried all of the existing configuration solutions after the update , which also did not resolve the issue .
I also contacted the Xiaomi Outlet on Aliexpress , they suggest that I unlock the bootloader , as per the email they had sent me
Thanks for telling us the troubles you met. Do not worry. We are here to help you.
Sorry to tell you, the phone you ordered has out of the 6 months free repair warranty.
Please try the suggestions below to try to fix the problem by yourself.
1. pls do Reset of the APN in Settings-Mobile Network-Choose the SIM card-Access Point Names-Reset to default
2. Reset the phone (Please copy your data before you doing this step)
3 download the Develop ROM of your cellphone from http://en.miui.com/download.html, and then transfer this ROM pack the folder ‘downloaded_rom’, then go to Updater APP click the button on the right top corner then choose option “Choose Update Package”, click the develop ROM you just download and wait for the system update succeed
4. If the 2 suggestions above can’t fix the problem,please unlock the phone and then flash it.

My gut feeling is that this is a hardware issue , it seems as though the radio reciever has burned out . I have already flashed with the native app . Is it worth trying to unlock the bootloader and reflash another rom ?
I dont want to waste any more time on this , any suggestions or thoughts on this are appreciated
So the reseller is asking me to unlock the phone though the Mii Unlock App , then flash it .
How can this make the 4G radio come to life ?

If you really feel it's a hardware issue, then it's recommended to claim the warranty or replace. I'd suggest you not to go with bootloader unlocking at this stage

Hello
OK I made some progress , I changed the sim Card to an O2 Network Sim which works perfectly . I had tried exhausted all other practicable solution given including the above . This doesn't explain why the phone stopped working with all EE network providers ( tried Virgin , EE, Plusnet ) .
http://en.miui.com/thread-1429676-1-1.html
How can I find out which bands a sim card provider is using ( Live Information ) . I have tried to research this but bands have changed over the years , so not sure which provider is using which band . I wanted to determine which bands the phone will currently work on .

Rebranding FRD-L09C185 to FRD-L09C675

**WARNING!! DO EVERYTHING @ YOUR OWN RISK!!NO ONE IS TO BE BLAMED EXCEPT YOU!!**
**ALSO I DID HAVE HELP(INDIRECTLY) FROM OTHER XDA MEMBERS
I owned a Honor 8 FRD-L09C185 version which supports dual sim but no volte. I'm from India and I use Jio SIM as my daily driver. For the sake of all other Non-Indians, Jio sim only support volte and the phones without volte uses an app called 'JIO4G VOICE'. The app often closes in the back ground & requires always ON data and its buggy. Hence I didn't receive messages or calls most of the time. Recently I heard about Honor 8 in India receiving volte support. Later on I learned that the Indian version of Honor is FRD-L02C675 and supports only single sim with volte support.
There were numerous threads for RETURNING TO STOCK ROM, ROLLING BACK TO EMUI4.1, REBRANDING CHINESE PHONES TO FRD-L09/FRD-L04. I wasted around a week trying to figure out a way to Rebrand my FRD-L09 to FRD-L02. Below are the links to the few xda threads which I had tried and failed.
1. https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-flashing-unapproved-firmwares-t3668306
2. https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/debrand-frd-al00-to-frd-l09-update-to-t3552445
After a lot of extensive searching in google and xda, I came across this xda thread from gopinaidu77. Here is the link : https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-honor-8-t3612873
Now I know most of your complaining about this being a duplicate post, but if you have read his post he warns of loosing dual sim feature if Rebranded to FRD-L02. I did everything as he said on the post and successfully. I checked 'About Phone' from Settings and found it as FRD-L02c675 and also found 'Volte' in Connections . Also I noticed no dual sim support like he said in the aforementioned post.
Now for some reason I rooted my phone, I think I rooted to install Dolby Surround feature or Viper4Android. Later I couldn't download many apps from playstore and couldn't use Samsung Pay on Gear S3(US version obviously, thank God) since my device wasn't verified. So I Unrooted my phone, wiped data/cache, the usual procedure.
When the device turned on my device was back to normal, but then later I found out that I have support for dual sim support as well as Volte. I don't know how this happened but anyone else is welcome to try. Will post screenshots later, since I don't have any micro sims lying around.
TIPS BEFORE REBRANDING (TRUST ME I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING THAT COULD GO WRONG):
1. Backup everything to your PC/sdcard (via TWRP only)
2.Be patient, the whole process takes a lot of time and anything can go wrong and you may have to do it again.
3. Keep another phone as backup till you have completed the procedure.
4. I don't about other devices, but Honor 8 is totally unbrickable
a. I forgot to flash system file once and got func() error code; like said in other threads, drain your phone's battery
completely. Then enter fastboot mode (vol down+power), it works(tried twice).
b. Huawei Multi Tool is so useful and can be used easily to unbrick the device.
5. Know the procedure well and do it in order. Don't be careless!
6. Rebranding works only in EMUI4.1 , if you try in in EMUI5 you will brick your device. So rollback!
7. Finally thank the fellow xda members who have helped you.

The procedure worked and as for the support for Dual SIM & Volte, someone try what I did & share what happened so that other can benefit.
Also the firmware for FRD-L02 shared by gopinaidu77 and also available from honor website was found to be corrupted. I found a link to firmwares from another xda member, link : https://mega.nz/#F!hTRlyQpJ!PhjE6p3XJ0PeSSVXgXVLDA

Hi,
I've rebranded my Chinese AL10 to L09 and am now trying to update to B412-FULL (OTA official update, in system update if I select download latest full package it find this). When I try to install this is all seems to work (no errors are shown) but it puts me into a boot loop. The only way I've found I can get out of this is to rollback via the force update method (using microSD card's dload folder). Once back in EMUI 4, I can do a system update to get back to B360 (EMUI 5). Does anyone know if this is as far as I can update - is this some issue with any newer EMUI version and the rebrand maybe?
Thanks

Seeking some assistance updating an unlocked (And out of US) G892A from stock

Hello Folks,
As the thread title states, I'm looking for a way to update to the current firmware from stock (G892AUCU1AQG4) - I bought the device a few days after it came out and promptly unlocked it and took it to Canada - OTA Updates are obviously disabled as I'm not on AT&T and there's no indication of a manual update method via USB on AT&T's support pages. Any chance someone has pulled ODIN files for all of the updates (As they seem to be building off of one another, indicating it's basically a nesting doll scenario where I assume I'll need to run update after update in sequence)? Or is there another way to go about this that doesn't involve going stateside and buying a sim and plan?
Did some searching and found a few threads with links or references to the stock files, but didn't see any means to update from stock to current (Or even just the first 8.0 variant)
Cheers and thanks in advance if anyone can save my Canadian bacon.
Edit for background information: I've tried forcing an update via SmartSwitch (RIP Kies) but it says the device is up to date, making me think it's also just checking for an OTA update, but given there's no update available on my wireless network it just dead ends.
