I'm confused as heck. I have been looking around for an hour and can't find an answer. Will the D2G work with AT&T in the US?
It wont work on any US simcard/carrier other than verizon as carriers use a specific network ID which has been blocked on the droid 2 global (att, tmobile, etc.) However, I've seen people post that theres a workaround to this but there's a price for that and you've also got to send them your phone I believe.

It's a hardware modification if I'm not mistaken which is why you have to send the phone to them.

It is a software only mod.
It is definitely NOT a hardware modification. The reason we need the phone is because it involves flashing a special file to the radio image.

So if that's the case, why can't someone make a downloadable version?

we could access this information in a long time or short time?

The solution is for sale, that is why we haven't released it publicly.

I'm rolling with a Nexus S right now, and just discovered and started using Google Wallet. I know that the One X(L) has the NFC chip, but can anyone confirm that it is compatible with Google Wallet? It's not a deal-breaker, but it is up there on my list of features that I'd rather not do without.
I thought wallet is only available on sprint/ unlocked nexus phones.
Depends on Carrier. AT&T wont allow it because its putting all of its resources into Isis.
Seems to work on the nexus s that I have on at&t, although I have not tested it by tapping the phone yet. The software installed and I was able to set it up though.
AT&T might not support it, but we will find a way to put it on

There could be so many security holes though if we went about it that way. I think in this case it'd be best to wait for whatever comes out ISIS or whatever.
I tried it on my Rogers One X and it says there's a problem with the secure element

Has anyone managed to get this working?
You get $10 for free by using it FYI.
We will get a working APK method eventually of putting it on. Verizon's Gnex wasn't allowing it either but people found a way to get it to work. Its only a matter of time IMO.

With the main thread for Google Wallet (GW) now reaching well into 200 pages it is getting to the point where it takes hrs to find out if GW will work for you.
lgkahn, daitienshi, and myself have develped a spreadsheet for tracking what works and does not. Feel free to check the list. If the rom you are running is not listed give it a try and let one of us know through a private msg, and we will add it to the list. If you happen to have GW working please let us know so that we can add it to our spreadsheet.
The ATT compatibility thread can be found at. ATT GW Compatibility Thread
Please include the following.
Carrier
ROM
ROM Version
Base Band (this can be found in settings / about phone)
GW version
Any extras that need to be flashed
What build.prop you used and if you changed it back to stock
Any notes that you feel are relevant.
And last but not least DOES IT WORK.

That makes no sense, if its an at&t branded phone then its going to support what at&t allows. Just because you use another carrier doesn't mean that changes
Starting sometime soon unlocking phones for other carriers is going to become illegal so its definitely not going to be a priority

Lol makes perfect sense to me since I don't use at&t. Especially since at&t will unlock your phone with a 10 minute phone call to their customer service.
Also will us prepaid users even be able to use Isis? Probably not, so will get screwed.
How are they going to make sim unlocking illegal? Jail breaking is already perfectly legal and you can even clone your phone as long as you own both devices and pay for your service.

There are reports of refurbs having it

The benchmark site is an aggregate of all Verizon S3s that have been benchmarked.
I thought the same thing about the htc_jewel thing until I realized that.
Someone posted that is the firmware he got from a US Cellular version of the GS3, that backbones on the Verizon network.

I think the problem is no one has it, and can't seem to get a copy of it.
Well I tried twice today to get someone to slip up and let me get the file. They are very helpful until asking for that firmware, then they don't know anything. Seems like they want to act like it doesn't even exist.
Where do I find the firmware version? Build number reads vralf2.
We don't have it, but we are looking for it.
It almost looks like it is probably a first beta build that was out before the phone was released for testers.
Chances are if that is the case, you probably don't want it as everything about it probably sucks. Only way you would get it, too, would probably be if someone still had that firmware and/or when they did, did a dump of all the partitions.
Could be wrong, but that is my vote.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
If it was beta, I'd expect a VRALD label or earlier like the pre-release VRALEC firmware.
This is an LG1 firmware.

Not really. Might be feasible to spoof the activation from a previously enabled Verizon phone but I don't think anyone's even started working on that, and THAT would be an ugly workaround.

No still not because version's VOICE network is CDMA and if they don't have your ESN in their database you can't connect. Simple as that.
The methods of doing that is similar to those of flashing Sprint phone to boost mobile. But I think it's illegal and can't be discused in xda as it requires modifing imei/esn.

no, it has nothing to do with that.
verizon keeps a list of all the allowed ESN/IMEI numbers and will not let a number on their network that is not in their list.
I think he meant modifying the esn to match one in their database, which would be illegal. This thread should be closed.
I've seen some photos and heard some rumors that Verison will be carrying an official branded Nexus7 (boy, do I mean branded) sometime this year. Hopefully the 5 will follow

With XLTE rolling out it would be kinda nice to see which LTE frequency band I'm connected to in different places. Anyone found an equivalent to the old ##2546# dial codes like on older devices?
Good luck. I've been trying to find a way since the day the phone came out. I've had aws in my area for about 4 months now and unlike with my s4, I have yet to find a way to tell with lte band I'm on other than guessing at speedtest results

Right, but CleanROM is basically just a stripped down version of the stock ROM, so that's a given. When I say custom, perhaps I should say AOSP, or not based on the stock ROM.
So I just picked up a refurbished Sprint v20. It is currently at zv3 so i'll be able to use Dirty Santa. My issue is do I? I know there's no going back since there isnt a factory image for Sprint.
If you've unlocked, are you happy you did so?
Very happy. but im biased since i made it...
Well, I didn't need much convincing. Thanks! Very smooth process, it's really nice to actually have TWRP on a lg phone again. Haven't had that since my LG G2.
yea it was a no brainer for me coming from a sgs7e , i hated the fact i could not do nanddroids or flash custom roms, i love my v20.
Bootloader possibly unlocked
So I just called Sprint and reemed them on how there bootloader practices are illegal and that this is an open source phone. Not an Iphone. My device is paid off ect. They supposedly are fully unlocking it as we speak. In the mid of a six hour phase I guess. I was told not to reboot during six hours. On ZVD firmware btw. If this does happen to get fully unlocked including bootloader ect., can I finally root my phone? I really hope so. I am running out of options.

Open source doesn't mean you have to have an unlocked bootloader. Open source just means you must be provided with a copy of the source code of the open source components (some parts are closed source), which LG has complied by allowing anyone access through this site.
Personally I'd be surprised if it's even technically feasible for them to unlock your bootloader.

Ok...well anyway not being able to root is still garbage. Especially on a device that is paid off. I only pay for service.
Love also how - the variant is rootable and this one is not game. So should I be mad a Sprint or LG? Whos fault is it?Rooting is perfectly legal. Seems blocking it is just as legal in this case.

Was wondering tho, if I am network unlocked, cant I take to a different carrier and their firmware would replace Sprints ZVD one (cdma I know) , and then be able to root via that phone/firmware method?

If it wasn't for antirollback (all other firmware, except the h918 which has a different key so no other variant can flash it, is antirollback 0) you could, but the way it is you'd brick if you forced it on there.
