Sprint G flex 2(LS996) GSM (DOMESTIC) Unlock [Guide]

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

You need to flash stock zv6 system image and ota update to zv9, then root with zv9 rooted system image and do the "fixes"...

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.

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.

I'll look into it. I've since read of many others in the same boat with regards to hotspot/tmobile and ATT&T unlocked phones.
What does the "PR" stand for (I have a guess, but don't want to look foolish!).
Thanks.

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

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

Sprint S5 (g900p) MM 6.0.1 QA2 stock odex, native hotspot issue

Hey!
i have problem with my hotspot...
Flashed with odin last PL2 and OTA to QA2, rooted and unlocked hotspot with idones.apk 3.1.8.
Now, "Hotspot" in settings menu. I can activate hotspot, but cant to connect with another device. Stuck on "Obtaining IP adress". If i connect with static IP, doesnt work internet and any data for share. Hotspot icon disappears from notification panel.
pls help anyone... i have tried to edit services.jar and apns to "dun".

if hotspot is something you use a lot, install @tdunham 's ROM and you will never look back! It's PK1, but it doesn't really matter much. I have been more than happy with that rom.

Thanks... I have used that ROM. Hotspot didn`t work. @tdunham said that hotspot works only on sprint carrier. I am using my phone in Central Asia on another carrier. Is there anyone uses hotspot with another carrier?
P.S. on lollipop i could unlock hotspot with idonesapp, but not work on marshmallow.

Yea, I use virgin mobile (subsidiary of sprint) when i am in USA, but I also use the same phone (G900p) in Europe with Vodafone (using it right now). I did a clean flash of his rom, and hotspot works just fine with vodafone. I can also go to More Networks->mobile networks->access point names, and I am able to add/modify my own APNs (I am also able to modify apn by typing ##3282#->view, just like I used to do it in lollipop).
