Updating & Unlocking Sprint LG G Flex 2 (LS996)

I purchased a brand new LG G Flex 2 and It dawned on me that it was a Sprint variant LS996, rooted and unlocked. I do not live in the US and the phone is working fine with my local carrier, except that there is no tethering option. It currently has Android 5.1.1 installed and software version is ZV6. Since the phone is rooted, OTA updates download but fail during installation.
Now, what I want to achieve is to update the phone to the latest software version and also retain the carrier unlock. I would be thankful if someone can point me in the right direction. It would also be nice if I am able to make a full backup of my system in its current state so I can revert if things don't well.
Thanks

I am in the same situation with my LG g flex 2, there is no hotspot option.

Follow my back to stock guide with stock images on general section. That should help you to go unroot pretty easy and then ota update. Read through that forum there are several suggestions you may apply too.

Thanks for your reply. From what I understand, I have to flash stock ZV6, OTA update to ZV9, and then flash rooted ZV9. Will I lose the SIM unlock in the process? I have seen some people on another forum claim that they went through this process without losing the SIM unlock. On an another note, I managed to enable tethering by changing network mode to Lab in the LTE settings hidden menu. This also disabled the annoying Hands Free Activation screen. However, the Wi-Fi tethering is limited to 1 user. I tried the suggestion of changing SPR to GLOBAL in build.prop, but I couldn't save the file if I added anymore than three characters in place of SPR. I also tried adding dun to APN type in the LTE settings menu, but found out that APN type is not editable.

You wont lose sim unlock...
Just do the process...
I also deleted some of the folders in carrier and just left the apps and I really dont remember which other cause I sold my phone.

[SM-G920R7] S6 Thread

My goal would be to install Cyanogenmod on my SM-G920R7, but haven't been able to find too much help. Any of the rooting methods that seem to work on rest of the S6 variants, doesn't seem to work on this one. There is no TWRP available that I know of.
I would really appreciate any possible help. Thanks in advance.

i have the same problem
I think that this version of the s6 (the cspire version) isn't widely available enough and no one has bothered to make a root for it - ive been searching for a long time and still haven't found anything

I'd like to at least be able to root this thing.. On 5.1.1 now.

I have a rooted cellphone of this version (I purchased it rooted), is there any workaround to unlock GSM/LTE bands on this device?
----
Edit... Okay, so I went back to fresh stock with SmartSwitch, then flashed twrp-3.0.0-0-zerofltespr and Unikernel-v9b-BOH1-920P-100815 via odin 3.10.7, and rooted again... any method to enable gsm on this device yet?

How exactly did you root it again? Was it SM-G920R7?

Yes, it was SM-G920R7... first, I flashed twrp-3.0.0-0-zerofltespr , then Unikernel-v9b-BOH1-920P-100815 , both via ODIN (you can google both files), note these files are NOT for r7 version (they're for sprint version *g920p*) but they'll root the phone.
I ended up getting rid of the phone as there's afaik no way to enable gsm on it

That's not true. I finally rooted that model and got TWRP installed, and followed the steps to get the Sprint Galaxy S4 domestic SIM unlocked. I finally got data and texting working last night, but I can't get calls to work for some reason on an AT&T SIM card. It even shows up at AT&T as my provider. AFIK it is now SIM unlocked, the only thing not working is calls like I said. I'm sooooo close to getting this working. I need people with this phone that are doing the same thing i'm doing! I only paid $50 for it! lol

Can u help me get mine unlocked , ive already rooted the phone.

Any way to get the G920P roms to work on this variant? I've had luck with them with other c-spire/ntelos/r7 phones in the past. I'd like to flash Renegade to it...

Wonder if anyone has got calls working using GSM sim card? I have the cspire G920R7 rooted with LTE data working using AT&T sim.
Won't receive calls (straight to vmail) and when placing calls dialer says CALL ENDED immediatly after dialing.
hmmm.

I'm working on this too. So far I've got the same situation as you, Data works but no calls/text.
in a few weeks the person who wants me to unlock this phone for them is switching carriers and plans on buying a new phone to use until I can unlock the S6, so I'll have more time to mess with it then.
There's a few things I want to try, but I can't post links here (XDA rules).
One involves Rooting and using a service code to unlock the bands (google "TeamUSCellular GSM unlock S6")
The other also requires rooting and involves using "galaxy tools" to unlock the bands (not sure if this app works with marshmallow, though) (google "theandroidsoul how to sim unlock sprint galaxy S6")
My hopes are not high for getting this phone to work fully. I've also been trying to get custom ROMs to work, but I can't get the cell radio to work at all on custom ROMs. Even with the stock SM-G920R7 Kernel straight from the latest update .tar

Thanks for the suggestion, yeah I have tried galaxy tools (GT) to change the phone mode to LTE/GSM auto and tried different CSC values, and accessed the hidden menus through there. The sim unlock in GT asks for a code which I dont know, but the phone doesn't seem to be locked anyway since it doesn't care when I try different sim cards. Weird thing is the GT app doesn't work very well (most hidden menus not working) on the current rom i'm using but worked better on the stock cspire rom. Note, I tried using MSL 000000 in ##3282# data menu and it works but most the settings in there don't seem to be applicable to GSM networks.
Currently I'VE been messing with the build.prop file, also tried the CDMA to GSM flashable zip which edits the build.prop but nothing has gotten better. One time after editing the build.prop the phone would only turn on with a blank screen and vibrate every few seconds, that was SCARY. Also was planning on flashing other radio/modem but having trouble finding many of those files and pulling them from roms seems difficult to get the correct file to flash on odin.

I'm not sure you'll even be able to flash other models' modem..? I can't say I've ever tried.
Anyway, getting your hands on the firmware is easy. Just use SamFirm (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647)
To use it, just input the model number (SM-G920R7/R4/P/V/T/A) and the region code, then select "auto".
Region codes and model numbers:
C-Spire: ACG (SM-G920R7)
US-Cellular: USC (SM-G920R4)
Sprint: SPR (SM-G920P)
Verizon: VZW (Locked out from download, app can't download) (SM-G920V)
T-mobile: TMB (SM-G920T)
ATT: ATT (Locked out from download, app can't download) (SM-G920A)
This app downloads firmwares directly from Samsung servers, so the download is really fast and guaranteed to be perfect/stock.
**the SM-G920R7 is closest related to the SM-G920R4 (US Cellular) & SM-G920P (Sprint). The US Cellular one recently supports GSM Bands natively without any rooting/messing with hidden settings, so that's where i'd start. You may not even need the baseband/modem, just flash the rom? I'm not sure. Good luck dude It'd be awesome if you get it working
*** Also, make sure you have a backup of your EFS before messing with the modem. Apparently if you flash an incompatible modem you can erase/corrupt the EFS partition and lose your IMEI. Hell, make a FULL backup with TWRP, and make sure that backup is copied over to your computer before doing any flashing. You can't be too careful with this.

Haven't had any luck flashing stock firmware or modems from other models using Odin, errors with a security message or something, tried G920A and G920R4. Probably for the best I suppose. Flashing custom roms has not been a problem, even if the don't work properly. Wonder if there is a test mode or way to use logcat to see why calls don't proceed like normal. Never worked on going CDMA to GSM before, I always did CDMA to CDMA in the past.

What to do next?(H950 to Tmobile)

So I am on T-mobile and I purchased a new H950 from Ebay. Phone came in today popped in the sim and calls and texts worked great! I know APN has to be changed for data. My thing is im not sure how to start going about rooting. I read a bunch of things on here about 2 different stock roms. i will say 5.0.1 H95010d is on the phone now. When I connected to check for an update the LG center said there was nothing. So what method should I use to root?
Also I know I can use TB to get rid of the At&t bloat, but is there a good rom out there that plays well with T-mobile?
Thanks in advance

There is a good chance Marshmallow is coming to the Flex 2...eventually. You won't be able to receive any OTA updates once you modify the system partisan (AKA root). Granted, you can always un-root, but its happened where even un-rooting will result in OTA failing.
There is also no KDZ or any restore method for the ATT Flex 2. If you mess up, get soft-bricked (which has happened to people here before), the only solution is to send it to LG.
Also, LG Update Center is telling you there is no update, because you need an ATT sim to get OTA updates (since it's an ATT phone, must connect to ATT servers to get ATT updates).

Thanks for that info. I guess I'll just stick with KK for now. It did come with an At&t sim but im guessing it wont work without service.
Since root is needed I would go ahead and risk it. Is there a certain method to use for KK?
Thanks

My recomendations, backup partitions from download mode, all exept data and internal storage.
Then, flash pr 5.11 rom if you dont use wcdma band 900.
But backup everything so you can at least try to go back

You don't have KK. You have Lollipop (5.0.1 H95010d). 5.0.1 is really bad. You need to get to 5.1.1. You can either put H950PR
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/general/kdz-compatible-att-h950-t3180847
or try to get to 5.1.1 by using this method.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/general/guide-to-updating-h950-att-variant-to-5-t3231115
After that you can root the phone using this.

or this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/development/root-easy-root-att-flex-2-5-1-1-t3178354
You can install the paid version of TB and freeze the AT&T bloat ware. Don't try to uninstall them, just freeze them.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/general/ti-backup-bloatware-freeze-list-t3183221
And if you are brave, use ChainFire to install Xposed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/general/xposed-flex-2-g4-tried-t3181866
Xposed modules seems to be a miss-or-hit for this phone (more miss than hit).
That's what I do with mine (purchased through dailysteals).
I want MM too but I can't wait that long. I'll figure out how to get to MM when it comes out. Hopefully the bootloader is unlocked by then.

What about enabling Hotspot? I have the same phone as you (H950 on Tmobile bought from probably the same seller on ebay and just received yesterday), but with my TM SIM, I have LTE but no Hotspot. I get an "unknown network error".
I have entered the APN settings already and have the 4G LTE symbol at the top.
Also, getting the 5.1.1 seems elusive. I put my working ATT SIM in when I got the phone yesterday and left it in for a few hours. Kept checking for updates, erasing the phone and restarting to reset the 24hr update timer, but no 5.1.1 joy. So still stuck on 5.0.1.
How long does it take to get 5.1.1? When I check for updates with my ATT SIM card in, why doesn't it come up as available?

Wifi hotspot works for me. Just tried it on a tablet and my PS4 just to test. But I cant get LTE, hahaha seems like we are the opposite there.
I had the same issue with the At&t sim, and pretty much gave up on that. So I flashed the 5.1,1 PR version that @epofhouston posted and it works so far. I do get an error on boot but it seems fine. So I would try that . Maybe thats why my hotspot works.

That was my guess.
When enabling the Hotspot, it trys ("Authenticating...") then says "Authentication was unsuccessful. There is a temporary network problem that prevents the enablement of the Mobile Hotspot function. Please retry later."
I get the same error on another ATT unlocked phone (a ZTE ZMAX 2) but not on my unlocked Amazon Fire Phone. It works there. My TM account does have Tethering/Hotspot included.

Note 5 SM-920P bought in China

I bought a Note 5 which worked fine with China Unicom, the phone was 5.1.1 so I decided to manually update the phone to mm. After the update the phone can make calls, but it can't pick up data signal. I've tried everything from flashing the modem back to 5.1.1 (which was the one that worked, originally) but no dice. I was wondering if anyone had a solution to this. The phone isn't rooted and its constantly trying to activate its voice and data, even though the voice all ready works.

Enter the APN settings manually for your network. The same happened to me on my Unlocked N920P. I entered the APN (Airtel India) and deleted all the others. On upgrading, it will automatically pick up the Sprint APNs. So add a new APN and enter your setting for your network manually.

It happened to me too. The first step was the APN. changed the APN manually on mine but still it seemed no data connection was active. On step two I discovered that even the data seems not active, in reality there was a data connection and everything was working, but the icon was not showing due to something missing in the Sprint's SystemUI data connection icons.
So, try to put your apn manually and try and check if there is a data connection, i.e. using the browser to navigate.

Open the notification panel - touch the "down arrow" symbol on the upper right corner to show all the icons and look there must be the data connection icon you're looking for.
As for the update: Updated myself to MM and everything works fine with the exception of 4G. This is not something caused by the update but because the LTE-4G bands the phone works are not compatible. Check yourself @ willmyphonework.net

Flash pure GSM kind of roms.
First go to official MM by ODIN, root it,
Via TWRP, flash Lamlazy ROM or aurora rom which is compatible rom without sprint stuff.
Try this rom http://bbs.gfan.com/android-8394771-1-1.html
Download link pan.baidu.com/s/1c2JZgje PW kr10
I didn't try yet. but it says N920p supported. If u are on sprint, am not sure how it works.. but GSM should work well.
That V7 of Lamlazy can be found here -- thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=153

Your best bet is to contact sprint for assistance

I contacted sprint and they said that my imei is not activated in system

Try this:
Go into the phone dialer and type: 5689#*997#
Go to Field test > Modem Settings >RAT Selection > SELECT: GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto
If it doesn't work, select LTE/WCDMA, then toggle back to GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto
If it still doesn't work, remove the sim and try these steps above without the SIM, then retry.
Don't forget to update your APN settings for your carrier.
If that doesn't work apparently Em_Will_I_Am on Sprint's community site/forum has been able to assist, give him a pm
It's not difficult to root an updated ls997, it's flat out impossible and attempting anyway results in a brick.
