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'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?

Just head over to the playstore and download an app that can push this app directly to system, there are quite a few working ones in the playstore
same here ,i only can use on one network,the other ones will make calls or send sms but wont get data connection,i tried rooting it,trying to move the app to the system app folder plus some apn apps and i cant get to get the data working,any update??
same problems with that firmware - after changing to another ruu problems are gone. If you are s-off you are also able to test other firmware...
So I was flashing some rom, and at the end of the day my phone is stuck. My only option is the recovery through kies. Only problem is I cannot access my serial number since the only thing i CAN access is download mode. What can I do?

Try flashing a tmobile rom. As long as u got tmobile sim, phone unlocked (if needed) and official or custom tmobile rom it should let you use the sim. Unless of course you havent already tried tmobile apn which in that case add the apn -
T-Mobile LTE
Apn name-fast.tmobile.com
Mcc-310
Mnc-260
Bearer- LTE
APN type- default- blank- or- Internet+MMS
Or google latest tmobile apn. My sprint firmware never lets me put 260 for mnc and wont save apn if i do try 260. My girl had a verizon note 3 and we used tmobile sim just by adding apn settings. Not sure how it works on sprint, i had a sprint s7 edge i was working on and was able to flash verizon stock rom to it with no issues so flashing tmobile rom to your note 5 shouldnt have any issues either but id try apn settings first. Add apn, save, reboot. If still nothing triple check apn settings via google, all else fails try flashing tmobile rom to it.
Hello , i'm new here
unfortunately i have a problem with my S3 verizon SCH-i535 , when it was stock , i couldn't add an APN , i just could make calls and send sms, but no 3g connection.
i thought if i flash a new rom i could fix it , so i tried to flash CM12.1 ROM for Galaxy S3 Verizon SCH-i535 as shown on this video :
youtube.com/watch?v=4xu1Vgink8Y
but it made it worse , now the phone doesn't even detect the sim card , and there isn't even an option on the setting menu to access APN.
Please help me guys ! if you need more info just tell me.
I fixed this by putting my sim back to the phone and reflashing , everything works fine now.
however , when i call sombody and and cancel the call its keeps on calling , how do i fix this ? or do you have any stable good rom to flash it ?
