Hi,
I have a Verizon GS3 that was originally running 4.0.4, VRALHE. I rooted, updated the baseband to MF1, and installed RLS16 of HyperdriveROM, so I could get on 4.1.2. I had the option to go GSM or Global, but when I put in my MetroPCS sim, I get nothing. It prompts me for Global, but I cant make calls or send sms. I also put in the APN and no data as well.
After that I installed CyanogenMod 10.1.3. and am still having the same issue. I have an IMEI, it doesnt appear to be lost, and I have tried the phone info app, as well as trying to go through the secret menu, the network lock menu was blank when I was on Hyperdrive, and now the code to bring up the menu doesnt even work on Cyanogen. Any ideas on what I can do to unlock this phone? I've searched similar posts, but none of them seem to be exactly like my issue. Any response would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not responsible if this damages your phone, attempt at your own risk.
Hi everyone, I have stumbled upon what appears to be a working unlock solution for the G flex 2 (LS996). This is essentially a similar method of unlocking the g3, but with my unlocked by sprint node.db files. Currently MMS and Calling are not working for me on ATT, but data (LTE) and texting works. I beleive I know why calling is not working, as well as MMS, but I am not sure how to fix it, I am new to unlocking using root. Anyways, on to the guide.
First you will need to root your G Flex 2
You will also need Root Browser
Now after you have rooted download the files attached to this post
Next transfer the files to your phone if you did not download on your flex2
*Back up your node.db and node.db-library by adding .bak to the end in /carrier/apps
Once the files you downloaded are on your phone extract them to /carrier/apps
Now restart your phone with your non sprint sim card, or sprint if you are unlocking for future use
When the phone boots you should see that it is recognized, but the carrier still identifies as sprint
Go into settings, more, set mode to global, then go to apn settings and add in your apn
Now you should have full sms and data
This is as far as I have got at the moment, but I am working on calling and mms on at&t, it did appear to be working on Verizon though
Now to where I need some help:
First is calling. I think I have identified the 2 things that may be causing the problems. First is call barring, when I opened up a hidden phone menu it said that incoming, outgoing, etc calls were locked. When I try to enter that submenu to unlock them it says something about the sim or crashes. Next is hd calling. When I dial a number there is a hd symbol next to dialing, I don't know what that is, but if it is sending the call over data I am assuming that there is some type of problem with it sending it to a sprint server or something. If someone can help me figure this out I will be very thankful.
My next problem is MMS, on at&T. Whenever I try to send or download one it does not work. I might just have messed up my apn a few times but I doubt it. The MMS settings in hidden menus show up with sprint settings, and I have tried changing them but they just revert. Could anyone help me out?
PS Sorry about adding two files the first one did not show up when I posted and now I don't know how to remove
I am getting hands free activation now and then please help.Tried everything below.

Try this..
with root explorer : Go to system/app or /system/priv-app folder.
Locate Sprintsyncml. Apk
Rename it to Sprintsyncml. Bak
or
Search for OmaDmclient.apk, then click and hold the file till it popups a secondary menu, in secondary menu select RENAME.
Rename OmaDmclient.apk to OmaDmclient.apk.bak and press ok.
or
LGstartupwizard.apk... Which is located at
/system/priv-app
try this options it should work..it will disable the prompt
Thanks only found LGstartupwizard.apk but it is still popping up after rename..Please help

Yes that's true. Take care about permissions setup, use root explorer for that purpose. In three countries I use this phone LTE works mostly in bands 4, I also enabled that band using a guide I found here.

I had the phone unlocked by sprint and can still not hook on to AT&T. What are you offering?
5.1.1 can unlock gsm sim too? Thank You
Changed my build.prof and got calling working flawless, just cant seem to be able to change apn settings.
ro.carrier=spr
ro.build.target_operator=spr
With this, you can also changed the spr to tmo if you want.
Anyone know how to make it so I can change apns?

When in the build.prof editor in Root Toolkit Lite, I simply changed it from "SPR" to "spr".
##data# isn't helping because I dont have the msl/spl. Everytime I go to change the APNs it wont allow me add one in. I can edit files if needed, I just need to be able to edit it haha

@carlosirai, others,
can you help me a bit, as your post intrigued me as follows :
i bought this phone - rooted and unlocked as per method above by ebay seller for international usage.
currently, the phone is technically domestic unlocked and rooted on ZV6. this results in no OTA and node files for SPRINT modified!
as an internationsl user, who will not be using US Domestic providers or Sprint, can i unroot on ZV6? then upgrade to ZV9 then root as/if required and use with an international provider? this usage will be on 3G & LTE ( Bands can be enabled as required, post root )?
thanks in advance!
any help you

Yes to all you said.
You need to flash stock zv6 system image and ota update to zv9, then root with zv9 rooted system image and do the "fixes"...
I got an S6 from US Cellular back in August. I moved out of their service area shortly after that. I was told by US Cellular that my device was unlocked and I could switch carriers. I took it to ATT the other day and they put a SIM card in it. I was able to make/receive calls and send/receive texts. However, I was not able to access the internet over 3G or 4G.
After about an hour on the phone with tech support, the ATT associate said it came down to not being able to access the APN settings. I did some reading and saw that there were apps that would create a shortcut to my APN settings. I dl'ed, installed, and opened the app (Change Apn). All I see is "Unable to view the access point name settings. Access is restricted for the current user profile." I have an option to add my own APN settings but it appears to do nothing.
I rooted my phone just now using http: //galaxys6root.highonandroid. com/galaxy-s6-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s6s6-edge-on-android-5-1-1/ because I read that it would open up all of the settings. I followed all the steps just as they are written. I downloaded Root Checker Basic and it tells me that I am fully rooted. However, I still cannot access my APN settings.
Does anyone know of any way to access my APN settings? Is there a way to remove all restrictions on my phone?
I also tried http: //theunlockr. com/2013/07/19/how-to-delete-locked-apns-on-your-android-device/ to alter APN settings and this didn't work either.
Have you tried this:
Settings > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names > Then add your AT&T APN. Then after choose the AT&T APN, no need to delete the current settings.
Well, yes, that's why I dl'ed Change Apn. Because there is no "Access Point Names" under "Mobile Networks" or any other menu. Otherwise, I would have had this figured out in five minutes. Once I dl'ed Change Apn, all I see is "Unable to view the access point names setting..."

I would go to sammobile, go on firmware and download the Stock Firmware for your device. Check what device you have (e.g. G920F or G920I). Flash it through Odin.
You need to do this because you probably have branded firmware, some operators like to lock out some features so try to download a non-branded firmware for your device.
Or, since you have rooted, you might as well take the next step and install an Custom ROM, then it should work and the APN Settings should be there.

I've got a new AT&T A9 on firmware 1.10.502.3. I unlocked, rooted & S-Off with jcase's tutorial here on XDA. I'm using Straight Talk and can't send MMS messages. SMS send & receive work fine, and so did MMS for a day. Now I can't send MMS messages.
I had this problem before on my LG G3 Lollipop (same carrier) and the fix was to delete the existing locked "AT&T nextgenphone" APN. Worked perfectly.
Now, I'm unable to do this because I am unable to get "APN Backup & Restore" set as a system app so that it make the appropriate changes. Does anyone have any ideas? Or know of another way to delete the APN?
