I am very sorry if I posted this in the wrong spot.. I am new to xda. I just need some help with my lg marquee. I opened an account with dfs cdma tool and tried to use it to flash my phone to another network. In doing so I have zeroed out the esn and now pretty much all of the 'about phone' section reads zeros. I spoke with my previous carriers customer service and gave them the meid from the back of the phone they said it was a good phone and could be used but it is unactivated. So I guess whatever I did I deactivated the phone. Which is what I thought I wanted to do. But now when I plug my phone in to the computer dfs tool won't read it and cdma warehouse says failed device not answering. I think I need to update my prl and meid/esn, im just not exactly sure whats going on with the phone now that it wont read in these programs. I don't know what to do. I am pretty much a noob to all of this and I think I got in over my head... can anybody help me out here?
Thank you!

Hello guys!
Recently i unlock my Galaxy S using the Galaxy_S Unlock app from the market (i've read a thread about it here).
And i've been using my phone with Personal Argentina (a carrier from Argentina) for a few days now, but today i start getting the Phone not allowed MM#6 error.
I bought the phone in Canada, and it was locked for Rogers.
I have a few questions :
is this IMEI related?, i think that the unlock method does something to the IMEI, and i tried to restore the backup that i've created with the app, but it says that there's nothing to restore..
There is any known solutions?, i've been searching the forums but no one seems to know how to fix this issue.
I've also bought the DaGentooBoy App for unlocking the Phone (it was about 5 dollars), but it doesn't fix my problem.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT :
I just read this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863209
where should i post this question?
Omg this forum moves so fast, i'm at 3rd page already.
I'll up this thread one more time to see if anyone can help me.
I've done some attemps using this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881162
Before doing that i flash back to 2.1 stock using Odin, and after those steps i got this generic IMEI :
004999010640000
That;s not my Phone's IMEI, and it's blocked by the Carriers in Argentina, so i can't use my phone.
Any ideas?, maybe some keyword that i can search on Google?
Thanks!
I'm in Bolivia. I have a samsung galaxy s, I unlocked with SUperOneClick (for rooting) and sgs tool to unlock it. Then after using a local carrier for about two weeks my phone got the mm#6 error. I was looking for solutions, and then my brother realized that I have to register the phone with the line (IMEI with line). Here in Bolivia exists a law that block phones if they are not registered at someones name and Id. So with nothing to lose, I called assitance of the carrier and register the IMEI I found in the Android menu (About phone>status>IMEI) with the GSM chip/line I have. Wait for 20 minutes and voilá! phone got signal and it's working now. I hope still working from now and on. SO IF YOU HAVE THIS TROUBLE CALL YOUR CARRIER AND REGISTER YOUR PHONE'S IMEI WITH THE LINE YOU ARE USING, IT'S SIMPLE. YOU CAN TRY THAT BEFORE GETTING INTO SOFTWARE STUFF.
HOPE THIS HELP SOMEBODY.
GOOD LUCK!
So while tinkering with my phone, the LG optimus Regard, I bricked it. Then I found a rom for the LG Motion MS-770 witch works with my phone, however after flashing this rom, my phone is now on MetroPCS. I need to know how to get my phone back on cricket (NO ROMS AVALIBLE FOR THE LG OPTIMUS REGARD, ANYWHERE) so how do I hack my carrier back to cricket.
Also does anyone know how I can change my Model number back to LW-770 as opposed to MS-770
Thanks in advance, please anyone help me as I am without a phone until someone replies.
Issue SolvedFollow these instructions to Unbrick your LG Optimus RegardOr switch your carrier back to cricketFor all those encountering similar issues, or those in need of the stock firmware for the LG Optimus regard (LW-770) use this website: http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=xxxx Where xxxx should be your IMEI, it will lead you to a text page with unclickable hyperlinks that you should copy and paste into your browser. I have not tried the global version. DO NOT CHANGE ESN TO IMEI it is not neccisary and will lead you to a blank page. Use, UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe to convert the .cab file to .kdv and use KDZ_FW_UPD.exe to flash it. If you need those files, they come together in a .zip file titled KDZ_FW_UPD_EN a quick google search will return proper results. In order for the above steps to work, you have to put your Regard into Download mode (Full power down, then while powering up, hold Vol Up, Vol Down & Power).
Full credit for finding the rom goes to Vosetal, I spent all day crawling the csmg.lgmobile.com and could not for the life of me figure out how to search my ESN as it is entirely inaccessible, and no FTP access permitted.
Hope this guide helps you unbrick your phone
I will update the language and the linguistics of this guide when I havent been up all night.

You already have a thread open - please do not open another one for the same thing. Reported.
Ok Simon, sorry, Its just I wanted a different title as my previous thread was asking for the rom for my phone. Since no one has it, I am contempt with this rom from the other carrier. As thus my request has changed, now I want instructions for changing my carrier to Cricket.
Please Admin, erase my previous threat not this one, as this one is more relevant.

I'm currently new to the xda forums, so I applogize in advance if i am posting in the wrong thread. But I currently recieved a samsung sph-d710 that was on sprint from a freind. I currently have a samsung galaxy reverb from virgin mobile that currently has service, and I've been reading around different forums and faqs about flashing phones to other carriers and was wondering if there was any way i could get this phone to work with my virgin mobile account. I know that virgin mobile has had this phone on there service before(my mom has one). And also is it possible for me to somehow rip off the stock virgin mobile android os from her phone? I've browsed around and couldnt find any downloads for the stock virgin mobile os for the phone, so i think this may be the only way for me to get the os. Also how would i go about copying her os system? Do i need to root her phone and create a clockwork mod recovery of her phone, then somehow extract that file to my computer, then use some program to fully flash it over? I'm all very new to the flashing carriers, although i do have basic knowledge of rooting and running custom roms. Does flashing a sprint phone to virgin have to be done with a special program on the computer(i have cdma workshop, but have no clue how to use it). And also even if i was able to flash the phone to virgin mobile, wont the esn still be registered as a sprint phone? Or is the esn device type specific? Also what is prl? Do they need to be updated? I guess in general i'm asking alot of question, but what are the steps to flashing the phone over, what all needs to be changed? If anyone can help answer one or all of these questions i would be forever greatful. Also pointing me to some tutorials would be greatly appreciated :fingers-crossed:
Hello,
I have a LG G3 D855 that shut down while I was using it(browsing net) and it didnt turn on again. Since the phone was still in warranty, I sent it to service.
I was surprised to be called by service and informed that my warranty was canceled because of 'unauthorized software', which they claim to be the operating software.
The service explanation was very ambiguous, something that the phone doesnt recognize its IMEI and that means unauthorized software installed.
The problem is I havent done any unauthorized updates as they claim and I dont want to pay for the repair since the phone is/was on warranty.
Has anyone ever encounterd same kind of issue or heard of anything similar? And what should I do?

So I've verified root on my S5 G900P sprint. I've copied my \efs files to a new location and also to my pc. My objective is to repair my IMEI, which I broke.
I've been researching all of the posts and google returns. When I attempt to go into diag mode, I'm following some guidance online that suggests entering ##3424#. This returns a screen with boxes all over it, such as green, red, etc.
Is this diag mode?
Other attempts have brought me to a screen that presents me with two radio buttons and a bar which reads qualcom. The radio buttons read either cdma, or pda.
Is this diag mode?
Lastly, do I have to purchase cdma workshop at a cost of over 100 $ to use only one time in the repair of my IMEI?
Thank you, appreciate any help that anyone can give me. Thank you.
