This device has been sim locked to AT&T, so I've had to purchase an unlock code from "Unlockcode247.com", while it unlocks the latest LG G2 firmware just fine, it's not permanent. Other roms which request this code, reject it, despite having the same IMEI. The G3 ports don't even prompt for a code.
So I'm stuck with stock LG G2 software, which leaves much to be desired and isn't enough.
The software version is: D80020y
How can I somehow make it unlock permanently, if not, force invoke the sim unlocking dialogue.
Thanks.

With a network locked phone and a custom ROM, will I still be locked to the network?
Also, how do I know if my phone is locked? It won't run with other SIM cards in it, but there's no message. It just crashes at the "Omnia 7" logo and reboots endlessly.
And finally, are you supposed to do the network unlock before installing a custom ROM? I've read that some unlockers check "software version" and mine is likely to be obscure.
Thanks
To answer my questions (for the benefit of others finding this thread).
1. Custom ROMs and bootloaders are entirely separate from network unlocking.
2. Um, it was locked as I thought.
3. Didn't seem to matter. Which was fortunate since my device identifies as a Nokia but the Samsung unlock worked anyway.
Unlocking HTC Radar c110e Carrier lock
Hello.
My HTC Radar c110e with Windows 7.5 is locked to a mexico carrier (Lusacell).
Please how do I get it unlocked without paying for the unlock code
Hi,
Wondering if anybody can shed light on unlocking a rooted AT&T lg g2....I have the IMEI and the sim-unlock code, but the phone will not cycle to the IMEI and UNLOCK screen...just says "No Sim in Phone" after inserting a functional non-AT&T sim (US Cellular)
Can a rooted Lg G2 AT&T version be unlocked in the regular way (insert non-AT&T sim - type IMEI and type unlock code)?
Does the phone need to be in Stock AT&T before unlocking?
Thanks a bunch!
I have the unlock codes.
How do I get the phone to request an unlock code/get to the unlock menu?
I am not in america so uicc unlock is not an option?
Can I possibly flash another rom to help the process?
Thanks

I would appreciate the help with my boost stylo2.
I can't speak for your particular carrier, but with T-Mobile, you put a SIM card in from another carrier and it immediately, upon boot completion, asks for an unlock code. Put in the unlock code and viola(!), you're golden!
Hope it helps for your situation.
Hey there,
I got a S8 phone from a coworker, that belonged to their ex. It was locked to their ex's google account. She gave it to me and said I could have it if I could get it to work.
Ended up flashing it with the T-mobile S8 firmware but only to find out that it was unlocked to the Sprint network. She is no longer on his plan so could not call Sprint to unlock it. And she doesn't want to call him to deal with it. Anyway, so no problem. Can unlock it via a 3rd party. Went with unlock base but still waiting for the code.
From what I read on the site, I will need to insert my sim and it will ask me for the unlock code. Unfortunately, when I insert a sim currently, it just says to contact sprint. I'm guessing this is due to the T-mobile firmware.
Will I now have to install the Sprint firmware to get it give me the unlock prompt upon sim insertion?
And after it's unlocked, can I go back to the T-mobile firmware?
Thanks for all the help in advance!
If the IMEI is paid off you can request an unlock from Sprint, if not you would need to use third party.
You can attempt unlock yourself but you do it at your own risk.
hi
i have a 7pro t mobile version. i was following a guide to unlock the bootloader and root the phone. until i downloaded oxygen updater and it says the phone cant get updates, had to stop. so. can the phone be unlock?
then I can continue with the guide on how to root it,
or my options are limited here ?
thanks
The SIM unlock aspect needs to be done with the T-Mobile unlock tool built into the stock firmware. Bootloader unlocking can be attained by Flashing international firmware via MSM-- then unlocking as if it were international. However, that will result in the SIM still being restricted to T-Mobile if it has not been SIM-unlocked
Edit: Bootloader can also be unlocked with the T-Mobile software installed, a request can be submitted through 1+ to have a file emailed to you, containing an unlock file to be used while on carrier firmware, called an Unlock Token. However, this process will take a week for 1+ to review, and approve if applicable.
