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.

Dear fellows,
I got a Alcatel One Touch Evolve 5020T (T-mobile) from US as a gift.
When I put my India's SIM card into it, it says network locked.
On searching XDA (and other) forums, I learnt that the SIM slot is locked. In MTK Engineering mode, the option of SIM ME lock (unlock) is grayed out.
I tried to use SP Flash tools using the scatter file but I get an error - Secure Baseband. Need auth file. I dont know where to get this auth file from.
I tried using Alcatel One Touch Upgrade S 2.8.0 software as well. I used the model number - 5020. But the moment I connect my switched-off phone, it says - "Read terminal information failed, Unplug device, remove battery and try again..." [Screenshot attached]
Questions:
1. Is there anyway to reset the firmware...so that the SIM ME Lock menu can re-appear?
2. I have the NCK code with me (from a trustable source), is there anyway to directly push it to the phone and unlock it?
3. Are there any special tools available to directly unlock this phone?
I am not an expert at this, but have working knowledge of linux/android.

Thank you Perseus71 for your reply. I have posted the same in Android Q&A.
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!

Good luck! Thread closed..
I recently purchased a samsung galaxy s6, locked to Bell Mobility (my sim is rogers). I bought my unlock code through onemanwireless, but I made a very stupid mistake and followed the instructions for t-mobile phones and installed the factory firmware found here, http://onemanwireless.com/TMobile_Galaxy_S6_Edge_unlock.htm. After I realized my mistake I reinstalled the factory firmware for Bell, which I found on this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/sm-g925f-s6-firmware-thread-t3078841.
However, the unlock code was still unsuccessful, so I followed the other three solutions found on onemanwireless, http://onemanwireless.com/instructions.php#samsung.
When I dialed *#197328640#, I was in the debugging screen, but I didn't have the eight option for phone control.
When I dialed *2767*3855# and *7465625*638*#, nothing happened.
I've checked the IMEI and it's the correct one for my s6. I've already gotten the network code incorrect eight times, so I want to know if I'm limited to a specific number of tries before my phone cannot be unlocked again?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Hello, and welcome to XDA Assist! I would recommend that you ask your question in the dedicated help forum for your device, where people who know the s6 well will be able to help you: Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting. You will need to register to post there.
Good luck!
Hi,
I am sorry that I post this message in the wrong place, I believe it belongs to this thread
I have just return from US and I got a LG Leon from MetroPCS to sty connected while there. Now that I am back I unlocked the phone via unlock app. My surprise came when I put me Spanish SIM card (Jazztel) and the phone only gets 2g connection. I have been searching the net and I found some threads on the topic but I can not make any of them work on my phone. First I tried changing the radio to Europe mode through *#*#4636#*#*, and I enter the test page but when I click the phone info button I get a message that states that I can not run that application on this device. I thought it was because I wasn't root so I rooted it. But before I could root I had to downgrade by flashing an older firmware. No way, I get the same message. I tried the hidden menu to see if I could find an entry to change the radio mode, or any type of LTE configuration. Hidden menu on my phone though 277634#*#. I also tried the anycut option, but I do not get any facility called LTE configuration or similar.
I am desperate and I do not know how to proceed. Any help is welcome
Thanks in advance
