LG P500 after firmware flash

Hello. I just flashed other firmware because I had 2.2.1 and I couldn't root it.
I downloaded fw (V10c) that's not for my country because no one for baltic was working. I'm from Latvia. When I booted my phone, Data Roaming was disabled. OK, I enabled it, but internet isn't working anyway. Does someone know, how to solve this problem? Please, help.
Thanks.

Solved this problem myself, u can lock this thread.
I just added BITE's APN. If someone will need this:
- Service Provider: Bite Latvia
- APN: wap
- Username: wap
- Password: wap
- Proxy: 213.226.131.133

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

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"...

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/development/lg-g-flex-2-ls996-zv6-sprint-5-1-1-t3169212
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.

As you may have heard, US carriers did not receive a 5.1.1 Lollipop OTA update. They are not going to receive any Marshmallow 6.0 or Nougat (7.x) updates either. There are CM12.1 (Lollipop) , CM13 (Marshmallow) & CM14.1 (Nougat) customs roms available though. If you are a lucky owner of an XT1526/28/29 Moto E 2nd Gen 4G (Surnia) with an unlocked bootloader you can now also enjoy a stable stock rom intended for the Asian markets:
Current update options:
Android version 5.1.1
Android version 6.0
Carriers supported:
Sprint
Boost Mobile
FreedomPop
RingPlus
Ting
Virgin Mobile
TextNow
Verizon (XT1528 when an unlocked bootloader is available)
Open Mobile
LTE in Rural America (LRA) Partners
If you have a GSM carrier this may also work. Change the Preferred network type from LTE to Global.
In progress:
1. The 4G icon is the default rather than LTE icon. This was by design for this Asian rom. Looking into a better alternative than just replacing the 4G icons with the LTE icons located n SystemUI.apk.
2. Adding carrier specific apps. As I am a FreedomPop user, I only need to know which carrier specific apps are required for the following carriers: Sprint, Boost Mobile, RingPlus, Ting, Virgin Mobile, TextNow and where they can be located (Play Store, a different rom, etc.). If not downloaded from the Play Store, you must test them out first on the rom you are testing (5.1.1 or 6.0) before reporting back.
3.. Workaround for the menus for Activate/System Update no longer existing. (You can still update PRL by dialing # #72786# (# #SCRTN#).)
4. In About Phone->Status->Sim Status: it displays the network as your MVNO carrier when on 1XRTT or eHRPD 3G. Sprint is displayed when on LTE Band 25/26 or TD-LTE Band 41. ( The lock screen also does the same thing) . 1XRTT or eHRPD 3G is being retrieved from the data/eri.xml. Not sure where "Sprint" is being retrieved from but I think it has to do with Sprint's MCC MNC of 311 490 for LTE bands 25, 26, 41.
5. Locating the picture file displayed under Settings->About phone-> Regulatory information so it can be replaced with one for the XT1526/28/29.
6. Adding support for other CDMA variants (XT1528, XT1529, XT838L) if their boot loaders can be unlocked. I heard Verizon XT1528 is permanently locked. Not sure about Open Mobile XT1529. The XT838L is listed with the same hardware as the XT1528 & XT1529 but have no idea what country it is being sold in.
7. APN changes if necessary.
8. Safe way to make sure a newbie doesn't flash their bootloader to a previous version and possibly hard bricking their XT1526.
Let me know which carrier you have and Android version tested. Please test all of the following:
1x
3G
4G
Send MMS on 3g & 4g
Receive MMS on 3g & 4g
Send SMS on 3g & 4g
Receive SMS on 3g & 4g
Outgoing Calls on 3g & 4g
Incoming Calls on 3g & 4g
USB Tether
Wi-Fi Tether
Your experience with issues 2 & 4 above.

Newbie Guide
If you do not want to update the bootloader, then basically, you go into custom recovery and flash the Surnia_Moto_E_2015_xxx_Stock_Partition_Updater.zip (xxx=5.1.1 or 6.0) first and then the stock rom of your choice.
The Surnia_Moto_E_2015_xxx_Stock_Partition_Updater.zip is necessary ONLY ONCE and ONLY if you have an EARLIER version of the gpt.bin installed. For example, if you upgraded to 6.0 and installed Surnia_Moto_E_2015_6.0_Stock_Partition_Updater.zip already and want to downgrade to 5.1..1 then don't run Surnia_Moto_E_2015_5.1.1_Stock_Partition_Updater.zip before the stock rom. You also don't need to use it if your reinstalling 6.0 or any earlier version either. If you downgrade, please DO NOT ACCEPT any OTAs as this may lead to a hard brick.
1. Backup the entire data on your Moto E 2nd Gen 4G before proceeding. http://guidebeats.com/2015/09/09/backup-data-android-smartphones
2. Sufficiently charge the Moto E 2nd Gen 4G battery before proceeding. At minimum 60%.
3. You will need an unlocked bootloader. https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
4. Install the Motorola USB drivers to connect your Moto E 2nd Gen 4G to your PC. https://support.motorola.com/us/en/Solution/MS100797
5. Enable USB Debugging Mode on your Moto E 2nd Gen 4G, from Settings -> Developer options. http://guidebeats.com/2016/02/19/en...y-android-smartphone-running-at-kitkat-higher
6.Download, and then install the Minimal ADB and Fastboot tools on your PC. http://guidebeats.com/2015/10/12/guide-to-install-minimal-adb-fastboot-flash-tool-on-windows
7. Download the appropriate Surnia_Moto_E_2015_xxx_Stock_Partition_Updater.zip below.
8. Extract the gpt.bin and the bootloader.img to your Minimal ADB and Fastboot tools directory (along with a custom recovery if you do not have one installed yet - link below).
9. Boot into bootloader mode via [Press and hold the two buttons Vol. Down+ Home at the same time, Release all buttons when the Moto E 2nd Gen 4G vibrates and displays the logo on the screen.
10. Connect your Moto E 2nd Gen 4G to PC while it’s in bootloader mode.
11. Skip this step if you are downgrading or reinstalling the same version. Otherwise, double click the MAF32.exe in the Minimal ADB and Fastboot tools directory and type in the following commands:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash recovery <name of custom recovery image if you don't already have one, e.g. "twrp-surnia-3.0.2-r1.img">
12. Copy the proper stock rom below to your internal storage.
13. Tap the Vol Up/Vol Down buttons and choose recovery mode. Go to Wipe-->Advanced Wipe. Check Davlik /Art Cache, System, Data, & Cache. Swipe to wipe. Go Back and choose Install.
14. Select your stock rom and tap Install image.
15. After it completes, reboot phone and wait at least 12 minutes to get to the Welcome screen. I suggest waiting until you see a 3G or LTE icon before setting up Wi-Fi during setup.
16. Congratulations, you just updated to stock 5.1.1 or 6.0!

Known Issues:
1. Cosmetic
- (6.0 only) In About Phone->Status->Sim Status the Cellular network type displays as 4G rather than LTE.
- (XT1526 only) In About Phone->Status->Sim Status the Network shows as Sprint even if your using a Sprint MVNO or Sprint subsidiary. (The lock screen also does the same thing)
- The picture file displayed under Settings->About phone-> Regulatory information displays the SAR information for India's XT1521.
2. The menus for Activate Device (Self Service)/System Update no longer exist under System in the settings menu so you cannot access Update PRL, Update Profile, or UICC Unlock. Update Motorola software has been moved to System updates under Settings->About phone. XT1526 users can NO LONGER update PRL by dialing # #72786# (# #SCRTN#) either. You will need to make a backup, install another stock rom, update prl and profile, then reinstall backup.

Uploaded V2 for XT1526
Links for V2 are now in the Newbie guide in the post above.
I am now using the Christmas Nightly 2016 Cyanogenmod 7.1.1 rom. I will no longer be providing support in this forum for these roms.
Changes:
1. APN Changes
2. New Default wallpaper
3. The picture file displayed under Settings->About phone-> Regulatory information no longer displays the SAR information for India's XT1521.

Optional:
For Sprint CDMA variants:
Reboot into Bootloader Mode, connect your device to PC and from PC terminal type:
fastboot oem config fsg-id boost if you are a Boost Mobile user
fastboot oem config fsg-id frdm if you are a FreedomPop user
fastboot oem config fsg-id rngplus if you are a RingPlus user
fastboot oem config fsg-id virgin if you are a Virgin Mobile user
fastboot oem config fsg-id sprint if you are a Sprint user or not listed
fastboot oem config fsg-id usc if you are a U.S. Cellular user
This was implemented by Cyanogenmod and I was going to use this to fix the remaining cosmetic issue in the Known Issues. I have lost interest in these roms so I am leaving that cosmetic issue unfinished.

I like this guide. I also own an xt1526 on sprint and successfully flashed the marshmallow rom using the instructions. Great Job!

Thank you for the instruction!
Is it still possible to root on the Marshmallow firmware?

Follow the optional step 15 of installing SuperSU if you want root.

Thanks for setting up this support thread Buzbee - I'm moving over here from the original one.
I'm still getting no joy sending MMS via LTE on Boost. I put in APN settings manually on Cypher's rom and that could send in 3G but as soon as I switch to Squid's CM13/Asian 6.0 OTA on LTE it fails with stock/Hangouts/8sms/etc. It fails immediately too - it doesn't even seem to be trying
An old thread on the Moto G forums suggested that Boost requires authentication for MMS on LTE but not on 3G. That probably means it's a big hassle to get it working but I'll keep digging and see what I can turn up. Thanks again for all your work on this, for everyone on all networks - it's very much appreciated.

Thanks for getting back to me. Settings does not want to play nice! I've added the APN but it only shows up if I'm in airplane mode. As soon as I reconnect (whatever my Preferred network type setting) it disappears and the original Sprint and Boost APNs come back. Switch to airplane and they disappear and the one I entered manually is there. Screenshots attached.
I've been playing around with various things and testing them with Debdude (who opened a thread about getting APNs to stick under Troubleshooting) but these errors and disappearing settings are weird. That's not the expected behavior, is it? It seems to affect most roms at the moment, at least on Boost (I've been flicking between the Asian MM OTA, Squid2's CM13 and Cypher).

They like to disappear when the MNC is zeros. Try Changing it to 120. If that don't work try changing APN to n.boost.ispsn like the other one.

Make sure to add 120 for the MNC or the APN wont appear in the list after you save it.

Thanks again.
I followed your advice with both the Boost_Mobile APN and installing Hangouts. Still nothing...until I tried again after a few hours and MMS worked, both on Hangouts and stock messaging app. Great, I thought, and uninstalled Hangouts. And then it failed again. Re-installed Hangouts, gave it a couple of hours, and MMS was back.
I know Hangouts uses its own APN settings which I believe it grabs when first sending an SMS, so maybe that's the key, although I was amazed that stock worked as well. I feel a bit like an impatient ---hole as it seems that giving Hangouts time will sort problems with the system. Either that or a combination of it and the extra APN, even if it doesn't show up under the APN settings. So thanks again for all your help.
If any Boost users are having similar problems I suggest installing Hangouts and then being patient...

The installation batch files are down. Are they just fastboot installers with some adb commands sprinkled throughout? I might be able to manage without them, but would much prefer the bat file.
If I wanted to upgrade straight from 5.0.x to 6.0, I wouldn't need to download the 5.1.1 ROM right? Just everything except that.

Yes you can go from 5.0 to skipping 5.1.1. One of the batch files was missing. It's back up now.

When I got to the part about conecting to the carrier after setting up the phone it wouldn't conec since I dont have service on my phone so I added my wifi (even tho it told me not to) now I'm in a boot loop what can I do to fix this and get back to 5.1

What was the phone's previous carrier? Sprint, Boost mobile, Virgin mobile, or FreedomPop, etc.? Is it a XT1526? If so, go here and download one of the roms (official or deodexed). Don't use any other zips on the site(partition updater, hotspot fox, etc.)

The roms on that site will get you back to 5.1.

I got a US Cellular XT1526. I don't plan on using it on CDMA, only GSM networks like AT&T/TMO. Will this method work with GSM & how about flashing EU XT1524 6.0.1 OTA instead of XT1521?

I have never used the EU XT1524. The retail asia rom is all in English with nothing but Google and Moto apps. It has an extra google keyboard and language packs but they are not even noticeable unless you go into language and input. You could easily just install the XT1521 rom just don't apply the Buzbee_R3.zip. It shouldn't be needed. Don't accept any OTA's either.

Help me restore service and data connection

Visible is a little finicky, it may never work with a custom rom, I don't know.
Try reflashing this from from stock firmware
Code:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
To find correct firmware use
Code:
fastboot getvar all

Yes looks like PPOS29.114-134-7-1 from the getvar all you PM'd
but it was compressed quite a bit so didn't get much of it.
You are on RetUS correct? if so this should be correct

XT1955-5_OCEAN_RETUS_9.0_PPOS29.114-134-7-1_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
but 10 is available now.
XT1955-5_OCEAN_RETUS_10_QPO30.85-18_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
The odd way Visible is setup I don't know if you can get a custom rom to work.

Check for no imei or imei=0.
I have been rom-exploring myself lately and ran into similar issues. *#*#4636#*#* on the dialer. You should have an imei listed. If not, there is a Moto G5 thread about fixing imei=0 that was kind of helpful in general advice.
My process for restoration went like this:
Restore old backup (correct issues with partitions)
Use LMSA to flash latest recovery ROM
Reinstall ROM of choice

how did it go? I am running into the same problem. Just activated Visible but no service/connection at all, LineageOS 17.1
works fine with an unlocked samsung, but not Moto G7 Power RETUS.... dang it.. Halp pls.
